It’s here: Our Summer Music Guide that lists all the music shows already announced for the summer—and there are a lot! We here at the Source Weekly are thrilled to see live music rolling into our calendar in great numbers once again, ensuring that we—along with the rest of the music lovers out there—will have plenty of places to put on our dancing shoes. Enjoy poring over these listings to help you plan your summer.

At the same time that we are rejoicing the shift back to more normalcy, local businesses are still figuring out how to manage the mask mandates for vaccinated versus non-vaccinated people. Jack Harvel chats with a few local businesses in our News section. And as I write this on May 25, I want to acknowledge this one-year anniversary of the day George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, and to reflect on what has changed—and what hasn’t—since his death. Black Lives Mattered before that day, and they still do.

his week, a new committee, the Mirror Pond Fish Passage Advisory Committee, was scheduled to have its first meeting. The purpose of the committee is to “advise and make a recommendation on a fish passage solution” for the portion of the Deschutes River that flows through downtown Bend.

Those who have been around a while know that this is yet another plodding step in an ongoing saga that seems beyond the resolve of local government. Like a couple of kids lost in the forest with only some breadcrumbs to follow, the general public continues to be asked to hold out hope that there is a resolution at the end of this red-tape tunnel.

The most recent movement in the saga of whether to dredge or not to dredge the river to remove the silt that accumulates behind Newport Dam happened in 2019, when the City of Bend and Bend Park and Recreation District each resolved to explore the option of adding fish passage around the dam, as a condition of using public funds to move forward on dredging.

With PacifiCorp resolved not to sell its dam, and the private landowners who own the dirt under the pond adamant about dredging, the issue seemed to get only more complicated when some of the more environmentally minded members of the City Council and parks board brought this additional consideration forward. While endeavoring to add a fish passage that would begin to mitigate some of the environmental damage to aquatic species is a good thing, forgive us for being cynical.

After years of public surveys, public meetings and photo ops, it is no

mystery what should be done for the river. Mirror Pond may have historical significance as a “pond” for some, but let’s not forget what it really is: a stagnant part of the river that neither looks nor acts like a river anymore.

The public has already spent a great deal of public money and collective energy on this, and while it’s encouraging to see the health of fish and aquatic species being considered, at the same time it feels like this brings the issue no closer to closure.

It’s been two years since the last bread crumb—the advent of resolutions resolving to explore fish passage—were tossed out. Now, in 2021, comes the next crumb. The committee will, over a series of six meetings from now through October, explore and ultimately make a recommendation to the City and BPRD about the best fish-passage option. In other words, the work of the committee is purely exploratory. “The committee is purely advisory in nature, and will not be making a decision,” as the description on the committee’s web page reads.

With committee members including a member of the BPRD board, a city councilor and an employee of PacifiCorp, it would stand to reason that the solution they come up with will be embraced by the various entities involved—but there’s no guarantee.

With the current makeup of the park board and the City Council, it’s likely, but not ensured—and with that comes our reservations around getting too excited. We’re cautiously optimistic, but then again, it could be just another bread crumb to follow in this long, seemingly never-ending saga.

RE: IDENTITY POLITICS, LETTERS, 5/20

LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS BEYOND STRESSFUL I moved to Bend in 2014 and found a house to rent pretty easily. Now, seven years later, it’s an incredible struggle to find anything remotely affordable. This is very distressing. I work with developmentally disabled adults as a support provider. Before the pandemic, I was performing at several assisted living and memory care centers in Central Oregon, monthly. I was also providing music

classes for preschools, which also was derailed. I’ve been a part of the music team at Unity Community of Central Oregon for at least five years. I started a C.O. Open Mics group on FB and have hosted/attended open mics regularly. I even ran for city council in 2018, to support the arts.

It’s important that I find a place in Bend as I have a child who spends time with myself and with his mother who also lives here. Plus, all the clients I work with are in Bend. I really love Bend and I love being a part of this community. However, I’m at a loss when it comes to even finding any affordable houses to apply to rent. The couple of times I have there’s been 20 or 30 people also applying. Meanwhile too, there are many people who are literally homeless and the city of Bend does very little to help improve their situation. All of this is truly heartbreaking. I just don’t even have the words.

BEND ROUNDABOUTS I have been a Bend resident since 1998. In that time Bend has grown, matured, and changed. Many people, myself included, enjoyed the caring and sharing nature of Bend residents. However, the Roundabout issues are starting to arouse a distaste in me as I see locals and visitors failing to care or share when it comes to Bend roundabouts.

Roundabouts have been used for eons in Europe. There, everyone knows how to enter and exit without causing accidents. They also know that EVERY OTHER CAR is allowed into the circle in order to make the roundabout perform as it was intended. Otherwise, the strands on the outside trying to get in can back up for a mile or two causing havoc.

Today I tried to drive from my home on the Eastside down to Fred Meyer for gas. At the 15th Street roundabout I was unable to enter until at LEAST 20 cars had passed. No one would look at me, or even acknowledge that people were waiting to enter the circle. I was so upset by it I decided to come home and write the Source. Who needs gas?

Bend has been a haven for everyone who is here, residents or visitors alike. We all love to meet at the breweries and the music venues to talk and learn about each other. We are divided enough as a State and as a Country. I would like to propose that we all make a small effort to get back to the ways of old Bend starting with the sharing of the roundabouts. Be courteous, smile, and act like Bend is the friendly place we claim it is.

Humans have the capacity to share and know that the act of sharing will actually make them feel BETTER! We all need to chill out please, be kind, and let every other car in!!!

—Cindi Garvie

happens matters. These are our neighbors and deserve to be treated as such.

Let’s come together as a community/ county and solve this problem once and for all.

I also wanted to add that as of today Project Turnkey has helped create 700+ units all over Oregon. That is over 700 individuals and families that will now have a roof over their heads and the services they need to succeed. Let’s keep this momentum going!

In response to Steve Young’s thoughtful request that we all just let go of “identity politics” and “wokeness," I would like to reply, “wouldn’t it be nice if it were so easy.”

It seems that Mr. Young is inferring that “the left” and the Biden administration is the problem here. Unfortunately, the basic human tendency to separate into “us” and “them” groupings is the problem. Just in his writing to the editor and naming one group as the perceived problem he reinforces the need for a greater understanding. I too was taught and live by the Golden Rule. But, that does not mean I should be blind to the inequities of the culture in which I live.

So, in order to address our history of discriminating practices it is important to admit those who have been outside the power structure in and to acknowledge the diversity of the population of our nation.

I like being awake and choose not to don the unreal blinders of an idealized meritocracy that does not exist.

May I suggest a reading of McGhee’s “The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together.”

Gov. Kate Brown announced the end of mask mandates for vaccinated people, leaving businesses unsure of what to do

By Jack Harvel Ashley Moreno

O

n May 18, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown released interim guidance on mask enforcement after previously announcing that mask mandates would be dropped for vaccinated individuals.

Though at the time, some hoped this would be a return to normal, many business owners were anxious about following and enforcing these new rules. The Source Weekly reached out to over a dozen local businesses in Bend to gauge how much they’re changing under the new guidelines. The results showed a sharp divide depending on the type of business.

Retail Vendors who sell goods were more likely to avoid the new rules altogether in favor of waiting to see when they could lift their mask policies without having to check vaccination status.

“Our primary goal is to provide our customers with the very best customer experience for their custom picture framing and digital service’s needs. It’s not about requiring proof of vaccination,” said Todd Dow, operations manager at High Desert Frameworks.

Dow said they have had no complaints from customers about the mask requirements since the new rules were announced, and that it is business as usual at the store. But they’re troubled specifically with how they are expected to enforce the new mandate.

“It is unfortunate that the State has taken the approach of placing the business in a position to be an enforcer. Until the Oregon Health Authority and Oregon OSHA [Occupational Health and Safety

“Stay Open Bend!” sign on the corner of NW Franklin Avenue and NW Wall Street in downtown Bend.

Administration] provide more guidance, clarity to the mask mandate or change the mandates, we request all customers, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask inside our store and while interacting with our staff,” Dow said.

Elixir Wine Group Owner and CEO Kirk Ermisch said he was interested in lifting mask requirements as soon as possible. He expressed interest in using signs to enforce the required vaccination check, but only if legal. Oregon Health Authority guidelines require

directly checking status through a vaccination card, so it’s unlikely it would be adequate under current state guidance.

“If it is legal and we won’t get into trouble I will lift all mask requirements immediately. We are vaccinated,” Ermisch wrote in an email to the Source.

Gyms/Fitness Gyms that rely on membership have an easier way to track vaccination status, and typically won’t have to check every time someone enters.

Jack Harvel

A sign at Astro Lounge in Downtown Bend informs customers that they will allow non-masked patrons after they show proof of vaccination.

“Masks are required except if students show their vaccine card. If they do, they can go maskless and put their yoga mat closer to other vaccinated students than our measured, distanced spaces,” said Suzie Newcome, Namaspa Yoga founder and co-owner.

Namaspa is recording vaccination status in its online check-in system.

“We devised a way in our online system to record that we have verified someone’s vaccine status, if they want us to do that, and that way we don’t have to ask each time,” Newcome said. “I feel this is the most inclusive way to go—everyone is welcome to come practice and all of our teachers can teach regardless of vaccine process, history or beliefs.”

Other gyms and studios are following similar policies, with a relatively easy transfer to the new guidelines.

“We are keeping a note in their file of who and when their vaccination status was checked,” Emily Aygun, owner of Altius Pole Studio, said. “We still require social distancing at our studio; however, our poles are over 6 feet apart from each other anyways so this is easy for us to accomplish.”

Restaurants and bars Restaurants have been the only indoor business that allows limited masklessness in Oregon during the pandemic, and switching to a new system may be more trouble than it’s worth.

“We are still requiring all customers and employees to wear masks regardless of vaccination status,” Emily, assistant manager of Noi Thai Cuisine, wrote via email.

El Día de los Pueblos Indígenas aprobado como día festivo oficial del estado

l segundo lunes del mes de octubre, previamente celebrado como el Día de la Raza – ahora será el Día de los Pueblos Indígenas en Oregon, después de la aprobación de un proyecto de ley en la legislatura del estado. El senado del estado de Oregon aprobó el Proyecto de Ley 2526 el 18 de mayo, después de que la Cámara de Representantes de Oregon aprobará el proyecto de ley inicial por una votación de 50-5. La delegación de la zona centro de Oregon, que incluye al senador Tim Knopp (R-Bend) y a los representantes Jack Zika (R-Redmond) y Jason Kropf (D-Bend) votaron a favor de los proyectos de ley. Fue aprobado por el senado de Oregon con siete votos en contra.

“La celebración del día de la raza, a menudo ha traído recordatorios del dolor y sufrimiento experimentados por los nativos; al cambiar el nombre de este día festivo estatal, se le exhortará a los habitantes de Oregon a aprender, acrecentar y celebrar a las comunidades nativas de nuestro estado,” indicó un

os estudiantes de las escuelas preparatorias de Oregon deberán tomar al menos un semestre de civismo luego de la aprobación de un proyecto de ley bipartidista en la legislatura del estado. La Cámara de Representantes de Oregon votó unánimemente a favor del proyecto de ley esta semana, luego de una votación en el senado de Oregon que fue aprobada con tan solo tres votos en contra.

“Es un momento en que muchos estadounidenses no pueden nombrar los tres poderes del gobierno y los estudios muestran un declive en los valores democráticos de fe, Oregon ya no debería seguir siendo uno de los pocos estados que quedan sin estándares civiles,” dijo el senador Fred Girod (R-Stayton), gran promotor del proyecto de ley. “En lugar

de imponer agendas en las aulas, a nuestros hijos se les debe enseñar los principios básicos. El desacuerdo en una parte inherente de la democracia, pero este proyecto de ley enseñará a nuestros

hijos como participar en nuestras instituciones y cómo utilizar sus derechos y responsabilidades como ciudadanos activamente comprometidos para moldear al mundo que les rodea.”

More Moratoriums Gov. Kate Brown signed an extension of eviction moratoriums into law, while another for foreclosure moratoriums sits on her desk

By Jack Harvel housing instability or homelessness.

“SB 282 will help set the stage for a more equitable recovery by preventing the fallout from this pandemic from following the most vulnerable Oregonians for years to come,” said Rep. Julie Fahey, who carried the bill on the House floor.

“This legislation offers protections to both tenants and landlords, and ultimately ensures that we help the Oregonians who have been impacted the hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

SB282 passed largely along partisan lines, with three Republicans, Reps.

Ron Noble of McMinnville, Greg Smith of Heppner, and Gary Leif of Roseburg crossing the aisle to join the unanimous Democratic support, resulting in a 39-17 vote. Redmond Rep. Jack Zika tried to send the bill back to committee to address concerns that some provisions reduce landlords’ ability to use their own judgement when selecting tenants.

“No one wants people to be evicted,” said Zika, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting. “There were just some issues with the landlords.”

The effect of Oregon’s housing laws passed over the past year have added a number of factors to the study of the market and, though helpful in the short term, still have unknown long-term effects.

“During COVID, there have been eviction moratoriums, foreclosure moratoriums, and so I think that that effect on the market is potentially even more dramatic than Senate Bill 608, which was the rent control bill,” said Carolyn Eagan, affordable housing manager for the City of Bend.

Some landlords have reported that the eviction moratorium and rent control bills passed by Oregon’s legislature could discourage ordinary people from renting out a property or two.

“Some of Oregon’s new laws make it tricky to be a landlord, and have made a lot of landlords, especially with just

a few rentals, say, ‘I want out,’” said Tamara Houston, who owns two properties in Bend that she rents to local people at affordable rates.

House Bill 2009 would do for homeowners what SB282 did for renters and extend Oregon’s foreclosure moratorium to June 30. HB2009 pauses foreclosure proceedings for qualifying borrowers, delays payment requirements and broadens Oregon’s Foreclosure Avoidance Program.

“I’m thankful, and I’m sure Oregonian

homeowners will be thankful that we took the time to get this right,” said Rep. Tawna Sanchez. “After a difficult year that nobody could have anticipated, it is time to pass this bill and get homeowners in Oregon the support they need to stay in their homes as we begin to come out of the pandemic.”

The bill passed with a 36-20 vote and is sitting on the Governor’s desk, and if signed would allow her to extend the moratorium in 90-day increments until the end of the year.

Civics Education Ahead for Oregon High School Students

Indigenous People’s Day Approved as Official State Holiday

By Nicole Vulcan

By Nicole Vulcan

Oregon high school students will be required to take at least one semester of civics following the passage of a bipartisan bill in the state legislature. The Oregon House voted unanimously in favor of the bill this week, following a vote in the Oregon Senate that passed with only three nay votes.

“At a time where many Americans cannot name the three branches of government and studies are showing declining faith democratic values,

Oregon should no longer be one of the few states left without civics standards,” said Sen. Fred Girod (R-Stayton), chief sponsor of the bill. “Instead of pushing agendas in the classroom, our kids need to be taught the fundamentals. Disagreement is an inherent part of democracy, but this bill will teach our kids how to participate in our institutions and use their rights and responsibilities as actively engaged citizens to shape the world around them.”

O

n May 19, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed Senate Bill 282 into law, giving renters a longer amount of time to pay back any accrued rent since the rent moratorium began on April 1, 2020.

The moratorium expires on June 30, after which time renters can no longer default on their rents without risking eviction. Tenants have until the end of February 2022 to repay what has accumulated throughout the moratorium.

“Everyone deserves a warm, safe, dry place to call home––and during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been particularly critical that Oregonians be able to stay in their homes,” said Brown. “Disproportionately, those Oregonians are from Black, Indigenous, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal and communities of color.”

The bill extends the time Oregon tenants have to repay rent by eight months, avoiding what was a June cutoff. A QuoteWizard study found that 27.3% of renters in Oregon said they were at risk of eviction in May. “Oregonians are coming to the end of a once-in-a-generation struggle, and we need to give them an opportunity to recover,” said Rep. Wlnsvey Campos. “This legislation was negotiated with landlord and tenant advocates at the table and provides necessary protections for both as we plan for the distribution of federal dollars to help keep families in their homes.”

The bill’s central purpose is to extend the moratorium, but it also prevents landlords from denying rental applications based on eviction during the pandemic, temporary lifts occupancy limits for people staying with friends or family, extends penalties on landlords for violating rules on conduct through February and expands Oregon’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program. The $280 million in rent assistance is available to all renters who have experienced unemployment or reduce incomes, or if they’re at risk of

The crack of the bat will herald a new season as the boys of summer retake the field at Vince Genna Stadium.

Play Ball! Bend Elks Baseball is Back Bend Elks open the 2021 season June 3

By Damian Fagan

I

n the film, “Bull Durham,” Annie Savoy, played by Susan Sarandon, says, “Walt Whitman once said, ‘I see great things in baseball. It’s our game, the American game. It will repair our losses and be a blessing to us.’ You could look it up.”

For those who attend the Church of Baseball, this statement gets an amen— even if it is only a paraphrase of what Whitman really said.

“Even though it will be a little bit different, we are really excited to bring baseball back to Bend this summer,” said Kelsie Hirko, the Bend Elks’ marketing and sales manager, as well as operating owner (she’s married to General Manager Michael Hirko).

After last year’s cancellation of the Bend Elks Baseball Club’s season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, baseball returns to Vince Genna Stadium this summer, like sunshine after a summer storm. The Elks will open their season on Thursday, June 3, hosting the NW Star Academy before hitting the road to take on the Ridgefield Raptors.

“We are going through a lot of preparations, getting the field ready to play on and cleaning the kitchens, as well as figuring out social distancing and how to block seats or rows,” said Hirko. “We are also working directly with the State to have a COVID-conscious plan for every game day and getting that approved by the Oregon Health Authority.”

“I’m absolutely excited to get out on the field,” said Kyle Nobach, the Elks’ head coach. Nobach played for the

Oregon State University Beavers from 2015 to 2018 and is looking forward to his first season on the field with the team.

He got the head coaching job in 2019, and built the roster to play in 2020, then sat out the season with everyone else.

Along with some help from GM Michael Hirko, Nobach constructed the 2021 roster from players at Division I and NAIA schools, or those committed to play baseball next year in college—including Mason Guerra, a top-ranked Oregon prospect from Westview High School in Beaverton, who committed to OSU. “We’ve got a couple of players coming out of high school who’ll be able to mix in with the college guys to learn the ropes and help them mesh at that level, getting ready for their first year of college baseball,” added Nobach. Joining Nobach

(’18 College World Series champ) on the coaching staff are fellow Beavs Tyler Graham (’06 CWS champ) and Joey Wong (’07 CWS champ), and pitching coach Xander Klaus, who works with Nobach in Washington.

Nobach understands and believes in not only the physical aspects of the game, but the mental ones as well. “You can fail a lot but that’s really how our brain learns is through errors,” said Nobach. “Our brain says that’s not right, and then eventually through neuroplasticity it creates change. The best players in the world understand this and they just learn faster than everybody else.” Heady stuff, but then again, “Baseball is the game of life.”

Another key component to the Elks’ success is the families that host players for the summer. “We still are in need of host Damian Fagan

families,” said Hirko. Almost all the players have been vaccinated and host families automatically receive game-day tickets, as well as other perks from the club.

Concessions also play a big role at home games, so the club will have the grills going and merchandise for sale.

“We are excited to be working with a company called Porter that will allow fans to order online and then get a text message to just walk up and pick up their order,” said Hirko. Keeping fans in their seats to enjoy the game versus standing in line to order will be a welcome option.

“In the High-Risk level that Deschutes County is currently in (as of last week; the county is now in the Lower-Risk category), capacity at the stadium is 525 people, including staff but not the players,” said Hirko. At Lower Risk, the stadium capacity would rise to around 1,700 people, or 50% of capacity, but with social distancing regulations still in place, maximum attendance would be around 900 people. “That’s a little lower than our average attendance but a lot better than 500,” said Hirko.

So, with plans in place, stadium upgrades underway, and a roster all set, now we await the umpire’s call, “Play ball!”

Grit Clinics & Ladies All Ride offer camps and classes to up your mountain biking game this summer

By Megan Burton

11 VOLUME 25 ISSUE 21 / MAY 27, 2021 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY Courtesy Ladies All Ride

Lindsey Richter, one of the founders of Ladies All Ride, observes an attendee practice her climbing form.

I

love a good winding hike in the forest or desert wilderness of Central Oregon. In addition, I relish the chance to get out on the road and ride to work or through town. As a seemingly perfect blend of these two activities, mountain biking began to pique my interest as soon as I stepped foot in Bend. It’s a popular sport around the region and it’s hard to chat with new friends without finding a mountain biking enthusiast in the group. Central Oregon is known for miles of unique trails; Bend Trails reports that there are over 900 miles of single-track trails in the region.

Ladies All Ride is partnered with Grit Clinics to host group trainings for those, like me, looking to level up their cycling game. These two companies have been traveling the nation for years, teaching mountain bike skills and sharing their passion for bikes. They offer classes for beginners and for experienced riders who want to work on certain skills, like jumping and cornering. Having never been on anything other than a road bike, I signed up to join them in their Women’s Foundational Skills class.

The clinic was as thorough as it was laid back. While we were all learning new skills, we were also laughing and chatting. We went through the basics of form and positioning on the bike. We practiced lifting the bars up for small jumps to get up and over

obstacles and even propped our bikes up on a nearby picnic table as we practiced the feel of climbing a steep hill.

Finally, we hit the trail. This was the

most fun I have had on a bike with a group of strangers. We sped down hills, then practiced taking quick corners and conquering obstacles.

Corners were not my friend. Even as I struggled, the coaches and clinic members were supportive. We all practiced through the same bit of tough trail until we nailed it, with reminders about where to keep your gaze and arms, and of course, there were many cheers of motivation. Failing was not only allowed, it was encouraged. I quickly learned that most of mountain biking is not about how skilled or strong you are but about digging into your own reserves of power.

Lindsey Richter and Meredith Brandt are the founders for Ladies All Ride and Girls All Ride. For them, biking is more than just a fun sport. The duo created Ladies All Ride with the mission of helping “women see the symmetry between bikes and life.”

Stating that mountain biking can be “a catalyst for growth, change and connection with others and oneself.” I was lucky enough to have Richter as one of my coaches for my clinic experience and chatted with Brandt before the clinic. Both of them are devoted to sharing the life lessons that accompany the skills you learn on the bike. Their courage and passion are infectious, and I can’t wait to get back out there and fail again this summer.

This summer, discover new trails in Bend, or ones you may not have visited yet 13

By Jack Harvel

VOLUME 25 ISSUE 21 / MAY 27, 2021 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY Courtesy Bend Parks and Rec.

The Outback Trail connects Shevlin and Discovery Parks in west Bend, and is the newest trail from Bend Parks and Rec.

C

entral Oregon offers a lot of places to go for a hike, many that don’t require leaving Bend. This summer, make some time for two new in-town trails, along with some other lesser-frequented spots.

The Outback Trail used to run for about a half-mile in the south end of Shevlin Park, but after an extension completed in March. it can now take walkers and riders all the way to Discovery Park near Summit High School. The trail moves between a developed park

The section of the trail uses a gravel surface but will be replaced by asphalt as the Discovery West area is developed.

“The trail itself, you’re not getting single track mountain bike or technical trails, but it brings you to Shevlin Park and it brings you closer to Phil’s trailhead, where you can get those opportunities,” Stroud said.

Another new section of trail in Bend, Manzanita Trail, is still only about 75% complete. The trail is directly west from Discovery Park and connects with

The new section of Outback Trail begins with a mural under Skyline Ranch Road called “Women of Discovery,” painted by local artist Douglas Robertson. area into a natural area and through future housing developments to connect the area to Shevlin.

“The section of Outback Trail that we just opened is used by runners, it’s used by mountain bikers, but it’s like a corridor that takes you to Shevlin Park,” said Henry Stroud, trails planner for Bend Park and Recreation District. “We really see the value in the Outback Trail is that it provides a way to get to Shevlin Park and get out towards Phil’s trailhead that’s off road.”

Shevlin’s Western Larch Trail around its center.

“We’ve also been doing new trail work connecting Discovery Park to some of the new neighborhoods that are being built, and part of that is on the Manzanita Trail,” Stroud said. “Our trails within town are used for recreation and transportation and we tried to design them for both purposes.”

Both projects increase the connectivity between the “neighborhood” park of Discovery to Shevlin, a regional park.

“They connected different areas of Shevlin Park and they formed like a big loop in between Shevlin Park and Discovery Park,” Stroud said.

The trails are new and aren’t especially busy when compared to others in Bend.

“The new section of Outback and the Manzanita trail that runs out of Shevlin Park is really pretty. You get really nice views of the mountains that’s kind of like an undiscovered trail at this point,” Stroud said.

Stroud said another trail with the same kind of privacy and scenery is the north section of the Deschutes River Trail from Sawyer Park. For families looking to bring children onto a trail, parks staff recommended parks in east Bend.

“Rock Ridge Park and trail is a newer park, and it’s kind of a hidden gem,

but one that, it’s really popular in that area, but maybe less known about to the city,” said Bryan Longoria, marketing and communications coordinator for BPRD. “It has a closed loop trail within the park that’s got, I think, it’s about a mile is unpaved, but also has paved areas.”

Longoria also recommends Big Sky Trail in Big Sky Park, which follows a canal and features stunning mountain views.

“There’s really great views out there, there’s a playground, there’s also an offleash area which is kind of nice for families with pets,” Longoria said. “I like Big Sky because it feels like it’s a lot more outside of town than it really is.”

The studio will also hold special outdoor yoga events, such as a women’s outdoor and tea-drinking class, prenatal yoga picnics and sunset flows.

Ready to Rock

Les Schwab is coming back this summer with a new look and a partnership with Live Nation

By Isaac Biehl

W

e’re in it now—and by “it,” I mean the resurgence of live music and touring musicians/ bands. While last year both the music industry and music fans took a hit (the last concert I attended was March 8, 2020), this summer looks to be different, and my recently purchased tickets to two shows at the Les Schwab Amphitheater would jive with that notion. Live music is back—and like myself and others, the amphitheater is ready to rock.

One new component locals have reason to be excited about is the new design of the amphitheater stage.

When we spoke to General Manager Marney Smith this past March, she mentioned how the additional, almost 2,000-square-foot increase would better accommodate larger touring acts and bring more touring bands in. This change bodes well for music lovers in Central Oregon, as Bend Concerts has also inked a partnership with Live Nation to bring in a larger variety of acts that is already paying off. This year will be the amphitheater’s biggest summer ever.

“Our new partnership and the phased build-out of the venue is really exciting. Both changes allow us to attract more bands and varied genres of music to the venue,” says Smith. “Our stage now has the structural capacity to support nearly any tour interested in playing Oregon, and the partnership with Live Nation has opened the doors to nationally touring artists we only dreamed about in the past.”

In a news release, Sherri Sosa, president of Live Nation’s venue

A new stage setup and a partnership with Live Nation mean Les Schwab Amphitheater is leveling up this year.

management division, said: “From our first visit, we could feel the heart of the venue and we knew we could help bring even more shows to Bend.” Sosa also said they are excited to take LSA to the next level, but to ensure it will be done, “without changing the spirit of what makes the place great.”

As of this past Monday, LSA has announced 16 different days of concerts—with more on the way.

“There are some really awesome announcements coming up of artists who haven’t played the LSA before.

One of my favorite things is watching the first-timers playing to the Bend audience at the LSA,” Smith said. “It’s a really intimate venue and the fan interaction for the artists is pretty special. We have a bunch of those coming up this year.”

Re-emerging from the pandemic with this magnitude of hype is both fortunate and exciting—something Smith is well aware of, as are other independent venue owners who have survived the most trying time in history for the music industry.

“The music industry voluntarily shut down at the beginning of the pandemic to help keep people safe.

We will be among the very last industries to re-open,” reflects Smith.

“Because we are a small family-run business and wear many hats, paring down and riding out the economic storms has been something we plan for, so we were prepared. However, reopening is a brutal process after being shuttered for 18 months. It is expensive and labor intensive and we have to decide what is essential to reopening.”

Smith and LSA are also signed up as part of the Ready To Rock initiative, a push by the venues of Oregon to get Oregon to the targeted 70% vaccination rate, where herd immunity is thought to kick in. This way, there will be fewer restrictions and live music can thrive just like we remember it— something Smith is looking forward to.

“The Ready to Rock campaign was a collaborative effort between venues across the State of Oregon and is basically an ode to live music. We know that the State of Oregon will lift most restrictions if we hit a 70% vaccination rate—and we need those restrictions lifted to get back to doing what we love. This campaign is meant to draw a direct cause-and-effect line between the population’s willingness to get vaccinated so that we can safely gather en masse, and our ability to put on the live concerts and the events they love.”

» To start, seeing Death Cab for Cutie alone will be

an experience for the ages. I can already hear the Schwab crowd singing along to “I Will Follow You Into The Dark” as the sun sets behind the stage. But to pair Death Cab with Jessica Dobson’s Deep Sea Diver is true insanity. If you aren’t familiar with Deep Sea Diver, check out 2020’s “Impossible Weight” to be blown away. This show is going to be huge.

THE THIRD ACT Doomsday Dress Rehearsal

I

result, the commoners’ template gave way to a more freeform style, the spotlight and ink shared by the famous with the everyday person. One relatively recent confirmation of this sea change was, after the September 11, 2001, attacks, The New York Times published short narratives on every single one of the 3,000 killed. “Everybody was recognized as a whole person,” stated obituary expert Susan Soper. You’d think that would go without saying.

At a recent gathering with friends, I quizzed those present apropos of my anecdotal research about obituaries. The 90-yearold matriarch of the family abruptly got up from the table and disappeared into her study, returning with a very small piece of paper inscribed with the following verse which, she claimed, was included in the 1943 obituary for Elinor Glyn, the captivating author of racy (for the 1930’) romance novels.

SUMMER IS BACK! NEW EVENT FOR 2021 WILL BE HAPPENING

JUNE 25-27

Would you like to sin With Elinor Glyn On a tiger skin?

Or would you prefer To err with her On some other fur?

In contrast to this humorous sendoff, but no less engaging, was a recent tribute in the The Bulletin honoring the life of a woman who dedicated her life to training horses. In 1981 she was the first female to win the Snaffle Bit Futurity. Her favorite horses, Cobra Chex and Lena, are mentioned by name.

“Horses not only touch us with their spirit,” she was quoted as saying, “but they allow…a brief moment, experiencing freedom on earth—when horse and rider become one.”

I am always struck by the exquisite configurations of our snowflake selves.

When we put our ear to the seashell of others’ lives and listen, really listen, I wonder how in the world we fail to see that we all drink from a common well of humanity? How can these glimpses not inspire us to work toward a common wealth and welcome?

Here’s a challenge for millennials and up. Pen your own obituary every year. Write it in the third person. List accomplishments achieved, sure, but more importantly address how you have manifested in the world to date, leaned into living. It’s a mapping exercise to evaluate who, not where, one is relative to who one would like to be at the conclusion of the final act. This dress rehearsal never fails to chasten and motivate. Ask me how I know.

—Poet and author Ellen Waterston is a woman of a certain age who resides in Bend. “The Third Act” is a series of columns on ageing and ageism.

t’s hard to pinpoint exactly when the over-the-hill gang starts reading that particular section of the newspaper, but it seems to start roughly at age 60. The closest to a no from 60-somethings is “Not yet.” or “Maybe soon.” Otherwise, it’s a definite yes in response to my asking “Do you read the obituaries?”

It makes sense, as us oldsters progress through the go-go, slo-go and no-go stages of life, that we likewise migrate from wedding and anniversary announcements to the obits.

At first blush it might seem dreary, given the subject matter. Unlike wedding or anniversary notices, an obit is not the heralding of a beginning nor a milestone of something that is ongoing in real time, rather the acknowledgment of “le point final,” the end of life’s sentence, a death.

But what is alive in the written and online tributes to those who have passed is each individual’s purchase and imprint on the world. You can feel the energy of the unique lives described.

Such daring, joy, sacrifice, suffering, triumph, purpose! Even if we don’t know the deceased, we can identify with their honest effort to stitch together a welllived and well-loved life in the time they had. We can see our own struggles and ambitions within these brief biographies, can spot a goal of our own that they realized in their lifetime and we had damn well better get a move on if we’re going to accomplish it in ours.

Today, with obituaries online, notifications can be broadcast instantly and widely. It wasn’t always so. The word obituary comes from the Latin “obitus” meaning “going down,” “death.”

The first known public notifications of deaths were printed on papyrus in the “Acta Diurna” in 59 BCE in ancient Rome! Flashforward to the 1800s in the U.S., when obituaries became common during the Civil War as a way of notifying relatives. In the 1930s, thanks to better printing presses, obits began to come into their own. Newspaper editors composed elaborate tributes to the most noteworthy citizens (sometimes jumping the gun, as was the case with Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway— pronounced dead before their time!).

Commoners, however, were acknowledged but only in passing (no pun intended) with terse death notices that included a death announcement, short biography, list of survivors and funeral details. That changed when newspapers recognized there was money in them thar deaths and began selling space for obituaries written and submitted by family members. As a

Lands at the Moon CHOW Pod Food cart lot at Silver Moon Brewing hosts its grand opening Memorial Day weekend

By Nicole Vulcan “We view our property like a compound—something for everyone,” Augustyn told the Source. Located downtown but slightly off the beaten path, with its food carts tucked behind the building and adjacent to the Bend Parkway, Silver Moon aims to make the property a destination spot. The brewery’s purchase of the boxing gym just east of its existing taproom also mean more expanded offerings. A cocktail lounge will soon move into the current taproom space, with the boxing gym space to be called the “Green Room,” offering games and other fun stuff. Silver Moon hopes to have the Green Room open by the middle of June, Augustyn said.

Some of the other carts—and their owners—will already be familiar to locals: The Bob floated around downtown Bend before moving to Silver Moon, Rush’s Squares is owned by the people who operate Pine Marten Pizza at The Bite in Tumalo and Chicken Strut is the latest offering from John Morris, owner of Southern Accent in 9th Street Village on the east side of Bend, along with his wife. Meanwhile, the owner of Luckey’s Woodsman, Jackson Higdon, has been

dually operating his cart, serving hungry skiers and snowboarders piles of chicken strips at Mt. Bachelor, and operating Silver Moon’s kitchen for the past six months. Higdon named his cart after a chain of restaurants launched by his grandfather Curtis Luckey in Springfield, Oregon, in the 1950s.

“I tear up just thinking about it,” Higdon told the Source. “I never got a chance to talk to him or my grandma Jean about what it was like running a restaurant.

And oddly enough, my first job was in a restaurant.”

In addition to serving salads, charred meats and sandwiches, Higdon also has plans in the next month to offer “camper kits,” he describes as “packable + tactical + soggy-free guaranteed.” The idea, Higdon said, is to offer gourmet meals that outdoor enthusiasts can pick up and take on their adventures. A Kickstarter campaign to get the idea off the ground is already underway.

“My theme is an elevated backcountry cuisine,” he said. “To me that means these meals are inspired by or inspired for the outdoors.

35

To kick off the opening of the space, Silver Moon will hold a grand opening Friday, May 28. Patrons who visit throughout Memorial Day weekend can show their vaccination card and get a 16-ounce Silver Moon four-pack for just $1. Manager Augustyn said locals can also look forward to a four-day festival, called The Moonies, from June 23 to 26, ending with an “awards show” of local bands.

endites now have another food cart pod option in downtown Bend, with the opening of The Office on the Silver Moon Brewing property off Greenwood Avenue. The five carts on the property include Rush’s Squares, a Sicilian-style pizza cart; Chicken Strut, offering—you guessed it—chicken; The Bob, offering European-style kebabs, felafel and mezza; Luckey’s Woodsman, an outdoors-inspired cart that first opened this past winter in the parking lot of Mt. Bachelor; and Whappo’s, featuring Caribbean-style cuisine. On my first visit to The Office, I opted for a Coconut Curry Chicken Bowl from Whappo’s—a flavor explosion that will have me coming back for more.

“With everything that has happened in the restaurant business, we were looking for a model that is sustainable,” said Silver Moon Director of Brand Experience Steve Augustyn. “Food carts are something that Central Oregon is known for, and it’s pandemic-proof.”

Now, instead of serving food inside Silver Moon’s current pub space, the food offerings required of bars in Oregon move to the five carts.

Snyder Cult SCREEN The “Army of the Dead” mixes zombies and guns

By Jared Rasic 37

Dave Bautista makes a killing in Vegas in “Army of the Dead.”

big-budget, massive-scale horror epic like Brad Pitt’s “World War Z.” The film dances between the genres well and has great pacing for being 148 minutes long, but it also does feel like the first entry in a new franchise as opposed to something that stands well on its own. It doesn’t exactly end on a cliffhanger but leaves a few threads that exist not to create ambiguity, but that so a future filmmaker can come back to the world a few years from now. Since there’s already a prequel and an animated series in the works, also expect a sequel someday.

Snyder also acts as his own cinematographer here, with “Army of the Dead”

being his first film shot digitally. Some of his lighting and compositions are gorgeous, with others being so muddy and blurred out that it looks like he had trouble pulling his own focus (he acted as camera operator, as well). The film bounces back and forth between beautiful and ugly so much that it’s hard to tell which it really is.

“Army of the Dead” isn’t a great movie, but I can’t really call it a terrible one, either. I loved the characters and the gore, and the zombies were disgusting and cool all at once. At the same time, the script was annoying and the

cinematography ugly. There’s a lot to like about the movie while also being filled with things that are also easy to nitpick. If you’re like me and still have an abiding love for the zombie genre, then you’ve probably already watched it, but if you have zombie burnout, this won’t reignite your love for the undead, either.

I guess we all have to decide whether to bury the genre, once and for all.

keep thinking I’ll eventually get sick of zombie movies, but it just never happens. Don’t get me wrong: I’m fully aware that most of them are terrible, but even the worst zombie movie usually has a moment or two worth watching. The truly memorable zombie movies really only need to nail a couple of elements in order to be considered classics: At least one great horror set piece, some pretty good violence and something the film is trying to say about modern society.

Zack Snyder’s new zombie opus, “Army of the Dead,” covers all of those bases while also being filled with memorable characters and a few original ideas.

Snyder is having a pretty good year with this movie, along with his version of “Justice League” finally being released, but for those who have issues with his directorial style, non-stop use of flashbacks or shallow plot lines, then “Army of the Dead” isn’t going to convert any new fans.

The film follows Dave Bautista as Scott Ward, a former mercenary hired by a ruthless billionaire to take a team into the walled-off city of Las Vegas to rob $200 million from a casino vault.

The catch is that Vegas is now filled with zombies—some of them slow and dumb like “Night of the Living Dead” and the original “Dawn of the Dead,” and some fast and super intelligent like “28 Days Later” and Snyder’s own 2004 remake of “Dawn of the Dead.”

So basically, what we have here is a heist movie along the lines of “Ocean’s 11,” mixed with a Michael Bay-esque military action movie, smashed together with a

If You’re New Here: Tips to prep for summer in Bend

Courtesy We Are Remembering

By K.M. Collins

The names are written on donated wood or paper as a visual representation of the lives lost.

Learn to ride a bicycle [or rickshaw]… gasp… in town!

I know what you’re thinking: You don’t bike. But once you see the arterial traffic congestion on each thoroughfare on a midsummer day in Bend, you will have no choice but to start riding. There is nothing worse than sitting in a car like a schmuck at dusk when the weather is pristine and you’re caught at a traffic light. If you have to be in transit, at least be enjoying the evening from the saddle of a bicycle. Find your second-hand two wheeled gem on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace now, before the season is in full swing.

Pro tip: If your mountain bike is so expensive you are unwilling to lock it up outside music venues, restaurants and grocery stores, why not just get a $100 runner bike for townie riding and stop talking about how expensive your mountain bike is?

Not Just a Number Remembering those who gave their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq this Memorial Day While riding your bicycle in town is a recommended summer move, so is recreating in the vast lands east of Bend and Redmond, where acres of public lands get fewer visitors than the showier mountain areas.

desert landscape is that from 6pm to 8pm the weather oscillates from its peak temperature of the day to its coldest. And the range can be great. For this reason, you can be sweating in the blazing sun at Drake Park in the early evening, then freezing on the Bend Brewing Company porch by sundown. Solution: layers. My combination for success is a tank top, long sleeve or hoodie and light puff—synthetic or down.

Pro tip: If your mountain bike is so expensive you are unwilling to lock it up outside music venues, restaurants and grocery stores, why not just get a $100 runner bike for townie riding and stop talking about how expensive your mountain bike is?

Utility hydration canteen Whether it’s a blue cobalt glass container or a HydroFlask, it’s important to have a beverage receptacle that is both functional and fashionable. With an assortment of sizes and colors available, your HydroFlask will tell everyone around you that from your office desk to the trail to the music festival, you “Drink in adventure.”

Pro tip: It goes without saying: single-use plastic water bottles are so early 2000s, and they pollute our bodies and environment. Choose reusable.

Fancy townie layering This may come as a surprise, but one of the unique attributes of the high

Pro tip: Pata-gucci is the top rung when it comes to outdoor apparel, closely followed by Ark’teryx. There is a happy medium between worn in and brand new you want to walk with your outdoor apparel. Don’t keep it looking too fresh.

Get your floatie shopping on Though it might seem like early season to be inflatable-animal shopping (flamingo, unicorns and alligators preferably), if you don’t order your floatie now, they may be out of choice stock by the time summer hits in full force. In which case, you may have to settle for D level floaty like clear plastic reclining mattresses and

innertubes. Bummer, bro. If you don’t want to be the laughingstock of the Deschutes River urban corridor, order now, while supplies last.

Pro tip: If your floaty should become impaled in the lacerating lava rock in the whitewater park, kindly walk your deflated heap of plastic to the rubbish bin. Better yet, use a heavier-weight floatie not made from lightweight polyvinyl that can withstand several seasons. Bend Park and Recreation District does not recommend unicorn floaties on the river.

Armpit hair color As per all national trends, the armpit-hair-dying bandwagon is hitting Bend about six years post prime, and it’s predicted to crash land amongst locals. With many Bendites sad over their inability to express themselves through facial hair now covered with masks, armpits are the new beard. In terms of equity, women are feeling stoked about this form of expression and trend. You get what you pay for, so go for quality coloring.

Avoiding FOMO Fast forward to mid-summer. If you haven’t gotten out much and feel like summer is passing you by, remember one thing. Often summers in the high desert drift into the deep fall before hibernating for the winter.

FOMO is the assailant of fun. Enjoy whatever the summer brings, whenever it brings you anything, in Bend or otherwise.

A community tradition is returning this Memorial Day: a reminder of why Americans mark this day as a national holiday. We Are Remembering – Not Just a Number is continuous reading of the names of those who perished in the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001. Organizers held the first event in 2008, on the fifth anniversary of the conflict in Iraq, when the military death count was nearing 4,000. The number is over 6,800 this year, according to a May 2021 Casualty Report from the U.S. Department of Defense. It will take a team of volunteers about 15 hours to read all those names this year.

“You can’t measure that loss with just two numbers,” states Founder Tracy Miller. Reading out each service member’s name seemed like it would be a better measure of that loss, so Miller decided to organize an event.

The year 2021 marks year 14 for this event, and Miller emphasizes that this event is not a nonprofit nor politically based.

Originally, she said, “Our goal was to be anonymous, so that everyone can be included.” The event is still looking for volunteers. Volunteer shifts involve approximately 30 minutes of reading, and the event is held outdoors, rain or shine. Each name is read out accompanied by their hometown and beat of a drum. Those interested can sign up to volunteer online.

ONDA’s Independent Stewards Program

Volunteer projects designed for individuals or households to safely undertake during the pandemic

By Damian Fagan maps and collating project information.

“We are even doing video tutorials and some of the projects have introductions from our agency staff explaining how the work will impact the on-the-ground aspect to a location or contribute to some greater goal,” added Patrick. The goal was not just to create work projects, but to also relate these projects to the greater context of ONDA’s conservation work and the protection of wild places in the high desert.

ONDA launched its online volunteer registration form in late February, garnering over 350 interested people. The registration form provides ONDA staff with information about the volunteer’s interests, availability, and even details such as comfort levels with remote camping, backcountry navigation or four-wheel driving—often major aspects of working in hard-to-reach places strewn across the desert. The goal is to match volunteers with the right opportunity.

Available projects revolve mostly around habitat and recreation monitoring, wildlife monitoring and stewardship projects in various locations such as Wilderness Study Areas in the Prineville BLM, Steens Mountain, Fremont National Forest, Alvord Desert and other spots in eastern Oregon.

One such project is the Fremont National Recreation Trail Work/Monitoring project, where volunteers adopt a 1-mile section of the NRT to do some light trail work and to record visitor use with the Recreational Impact Monitoring System app, developed by the Colorado

Mark Darnell

Monitoring in the Spring Basin Wilderness in Eastern Oregon.

Mountain Club and adapted for ONDA’s work in Oregon. Another trail monitoring and stewardship project will focus on about 40 miles of trail through the Steens Mountain Wilderness.

Through ONDA’s partnership with the Burns BLM District, staffers learned of unprecedented use of the Alvord Desert WSA in 2020. BLM staff related that the Alvord Desert was seeing impacts caused by three to four times what normal use was in previous years.

“Stewardship activities on the Alvord Desert will include dispersing fire rings (which are a safety hazard especially to vehicles, airplanes and land sailors), picking up trash, brushing out vehicle trespass incursions (beyond the allowed motorized use area), monitoring for negative wildlife interactions and handing out wag bags with included responsible recreation

information,” said Lace Thornberg, ONDA communications manager.

“I spend a lot of time hiking in the desert, and I’ve gained a great appreciation of the high desert in the last five years that I’ve lived in Bend,” said volunteer Beauchemin. “This project gives me an opportunity to give back to the organizations that protect the lands that I like to recreate on, and I get to fulfill a deeper relationship with a place that I haven’t spent a lot of time in.”

Beauchemin has committed to visiting sites, twice per year, over the next three years, to provide some continuity even post-pandemic. “To develop a deeper relationship with a place you’ve got to spend some time there,” added Beauchemin.

his past year was a rough one, even for volunteers. Many nonprofit organizations canceled group volunteer projects to minimize exposure during the pandemic.

One local described that experience.

“I tried to volunteer last year, but COVID derailed that,” said Jess Beauchemin, a volunteer with the Oregon Natural Desert Association. This year, she’s signed up to do monitoring of Wilderness Study Areas in the Prineville District of the Bureau of Land Management.

With risk levels changing, the curtain is partially lifting, and ONDA is ramping up its Independent Stewards program.

“We’ve had an Independent Stewards program since about 2015,” said Renee Patrick, Independent Stewards program coordinator. “But it’s been a very small part of what we offer and wasn’t very well developed with resources to really help people feel comfortable going out by themselves to do stewardship or monitoring work on their own.” With that, ONDA’s Conservation and Campaign staff members began to explore options for utilizing volunteer help with on-the-ground projects, but in a different capacity than the historic group outing. “We went back to the beginning and dreamed big,” added Patrick.

The staff created projects that would be rewarding and engaging to volunteers and could be completed on a flexible schedule. The stewardship team then spent five to six months building out the projects with partnering land management agencies, drawing up

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A blogger named

Valentine Cassius reports, “A tiny old woman came into the deli where I work and ordered a ‘wonderful turkey sandwich.’ When asked what she wanted on the sandwich other than turkey, she said ‘all of your most wonderful toppings.’” Here’s my response to that: The tiny old woman’s approach usually isn’t very effective. It’s almost always preferable to be very specific in knowing what you want and asking for it. But given the current astrological omens, I’ll make an exception for you in the next three weeks.

I think you should be like the tiny old woman: Ask life, fate, people, spirits, and gods to bring you all of their most wonderful toppings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I am tired of trying to hold things together that cannot be held,” testifies Cancerian novelist Erin Morgenstern. “Tired of trying to control what cannot be controlled.”

Here’s good news for her and all Cancerians. You have cosmic permission to surrender—to no longer try to hold things together that can’t be held or try to control what can’t be controlled. Maybe in a few weeks you will have gained so much relaxed new wisdom that you’ll be inspired to make fresh attempts at holding together and controlling. But that’s not for you to worry and wonder about right now. Your assignment is to nurture your psychological and spiritual health by letting go.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Philosopher Georges Bataille wrote, “The lesson of Wuthering Heights, of Greek tragedy and, ultimately, of all religions, is that there is an instinctive tendency towards divine intoxication which the rational world of calculation cannot bear.

This tendency is the opposite of Good. Good is based on common interest, which entails consideration of the future.”

I’m going to dissent from Bataille’s view. I agree that we all have an instinctive longing for divine intoxication, but I believe that the rational world needs us to periodically fulfill our longing for divine intoxication. In fact, the rational world grows stale and begins to decay without these interludes. So the truth is that divine intoxication is crucial for the common good. I’m telling you this, Leo, because I think the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to claim a healthy dose of divine intoxication.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo actor Ingrid Bergman (1915–1982) won the most prestigious awards possible for her work in films, TV, and theater: Oscars, Emmys, and a Tony. She was intelligent, talented, and beautiful. Life was a challenge when she was growing up, though. She testified, “I was the shyest human ever invented, but I had a lion inside me that wouldn’t shut up.” If you have a sleeping lion inside you, Virgo, I expect it to wake up soon. And if your inner lion is already wide awake and you have a decent relationship with it, I suspect it may soon begin to come into its fuller glory.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran author Antonio Tabucchi described the frame of mind I recommend for you in the coming days. I hope you’ll be eager to embrace his far-reaching empathy. Like him, I trust you will expand your capacity to regard the whole world as your home. Here’s Tabucchi’s declaration: “Like a blazing comet, I’ve traversed infinite nights, interstellar spaces of the imagination, voluptuousness and fear. I’ve been a man, a woman, an old person, a little girl, I’ve been the crowds on the grand boulevards of the capital cities of the West, I’ve been the serene Buddha of the East. I’ve been the sun and the moon.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Author James

Sign up on BendSource.com

Frey writes, “I used to think I was tough, but then I realized I wasn’t. I was fragile and I wore thick armor. And I hurt people so they couldn’t hurt me.

And I thought that was what being tough was, but it isn’t.” I agree with Frey. The behavior he describes has nothing to do with being tough. So what does?

That’s important for you to think about, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to be tough in the best senses of the word. Here are

my definitions: Being tough means never letting people disrespect you or abuse you, even as you cultivate empathy for how wounded everyone is.

Being tough means loving yourself with such unconditional grace that you never act unkind out of a neurotic need to over-defend yourself. Being tough means being a compassionate truth-teller.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Fragile intensity or intense fragility? Ferocious gentleness or gentle ferocity? Vulnerable strength or strong vulnerability? I suspect these will be some of the paradoxical themes with which you’ll be delicately wrestling in the coming days. Other possibilities: sensitive audacity or audacious sensitivity; fluidic fire or fiery fluidity; crazy wisdom or wise craziness; penetrating softness or soft penetration; shaky poise or poised shakiness. My advice is to regard rich complexities like these as blessings, not confusions or inconveniences.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Birds that live in cities have come up with an ingenious adaptation. They use humans’ abandoned cigarette butts to build their nests. Somehow they discovered that nicotine is an insectide that dispels pests like fleas, lice, and mites. Given your current astrological aspects, I’m guessing you could make metaphorically comparable adjustments in your own life. Are there ways you could use scraps and discards to your benefit?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A blogger named Raven testifies, “My heart is a toddler throwing a tantrum in a store and my brain is the parent who continues to shop.” I’m pleased to inform you, Aquarius, that your heart will NOT act like that toddler in the coming weeks. In fact, I believe your heart will be like a sage elder with growing wisdom in the arts intimacy and tenderness. In my vision of your life, your heart will guide you better than maybe it ever has.

Now here’s a message to your brain: Listen to your heart!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Voyager 1 space probe, launched by NASA in 1977, is now more than 14 billion miles from Earth. In contrast, the farthest humans have ever penetrated into the ground is 7.62 miles. It’s the Kola Superdeep Borehole in northwest Russia. Metaphorically speaking, these facts provide an evocative metaphor for the following truth: Most humans feel more confident and expansive about exploring the outer world than their inner realms. But I hope that in the coming weeks you will buck that trend, as you break all previous records for curious and luxurious exploration into your deepest psychic depths.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): ❝Open your mouth only if what you are going to say is more beautiful than silence,” declares an Arab proverb. That’s a high standard to aspire to. Even at our very best, when we’re soaring with articulate vitality, it’s hard to be more beautiful than silence for more than, say, 50 percent of the time. But here’s a nice surprise: You could exceed that benchmark during the next three weeks. You’re primed to be extra expressive and interesting. When you speak, you could be more beautiful than silence as much as 80 percent of the time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Here’s the definition of an emotional support animal: “a companion animal that provides therapeutic benefit to a person with a mental or psychiatric disability.” I don’t mean to be flippant, but I think every one of us has at least one mental or psychiatric disability that would benefit from the company of an emotional support animal.

Heidi’s Summer Beer Picks

Crushable beers to drink in the sun

By Heidi Howard

By Heidi Howard

Summertime beer lineup: Imminently crushable.

T

here are SO MANY great summer beer options in Central Oregon to choose from. My curated list has new, unique brews as well as old favorites, but they all have one thing in common. They’re all crushable! Let’s get started with a couple of beers from CRUX Fermentation Project.

No Mo – Non-alcoholic IPA. I know… this is simply not like me to write about (gasp) non-alcoholic beers.

This review is for my friends and readers who don’t drink alcohol and love the taste of beer, or for those pregnant

delicious Mexican lager. It’s leaving me with a craving for queso. The ABV on this one is 4.5% Also from Boss Rambler is Maui Babe IPA 6.5 ABV. I love Boss Rambler’s cans.

This one says “Golden Sun Tans and Ice Cold Cans.” Bringing the glass up to my nose, I’m met with a bouquet of hops.

Upon drinking it, I’m always surprised at how well-balanced it is. The different hops blend so well together. Is it ironic that I’m writing this on one of our few drizzly days in Central Oregon? Sipping this beer, I swear I feel the sun on my face.

Hurray for summer! I can’t believe I drank all those beers! The things I do for you! beer gals who crave a yummy non-alcoholic beverage. No Mo has a light hoppy aroma, just like its alcoholic sibling, Gimme Mo. It’s nicely carbonated, extremely refreshing and is bright and citrusy. Really delicious. No, really!

Lawn Party – hoppy golden ale.

Also, from CRUX and IS alcoholic at 5%. Malty aromas are biscuity, and the flavor is bright and slightly sweet with a tang from the carbonation. This beer in one hand and a cornhole bag in the other sounds like a fantastic summer day to me!

Let’s move onto a brewery that absolutely reads “summer crushable.”

Boss Rambler Beer Club. Cerveza Classica – this is an awesome Mexican-style lager. The can says “Drink Ice Cold. With a Lime. DOS MÃS!” I obliged but took a sip without a lime first. Malt forward on both the aroma and the flavor. Adding the lime adds additional brightness, enhancing the beer, but is certainly not a necessity. This is a high-end,

The next beer is one I’ve already reviewed, but Worthy’s Easy Day belongs on this list. As a reminder, Easy Day is a 3.4% IPA and only 97 calories.

Today, I am drinking the Hazy Tangerine version. This beer is bright, juicy goodness. It’s begging to be thrown into my cooler for a casual kayak on Sparks Lake.

Last, but certainly not least is Mango Daze – Mango Pale Ale from Silver Moon Brewing. An oldie, but a goodie and also one of my summertime “go to” beers for many years now. The mango aroma and malty flavors just work so perfectly together. This beer goes down quick and easy (but do be careful. It’s a moderate 6% ABV). I continue to reach for it over and over again. Mango Daze is a touch of the tropics right here in Central Oregon.

All of these beers are available locally in Central Oregon at the pubs, breweries and stores. Go grab some and head up to the lakes! Hurray for summer! I can’t believe I drank all those beers! The things I do for you!

45 VOLUME 25 ISSUE 21 / MAY 27, 2021 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I broke up with a guy I was dating after discovering he’d lied about his age on the dating app we’d met on.

(He’s 48, not “39.”) I’d told him honesty’s a big deal for me. He claimed he’s honest with those he cares about and at work and argued that everybody lies on dating sites. I’m not buying that.

Isn’t someone either honest or not?

—Skeptical There’s that saying, “act your age,” and he is—as a guy cresting 50 who wants a girlfriend who still sometimes gets carded.

Chances are you consider yourself an honest person. But you’re not. None of us is. In the words of TV’s Dr. House, “Everybody lies.”

Social psychologist Bella DePaulo concurs.

In her research on lying, she explains that people can’t be “tossed into one of two moral bins, one for the people who are honest and the other for the liars.”

In fact, we all lie in ways we don’t even recognize as lies. Do you wear control-top tights or Spanx? A push-up bra or a squish-you-down bra? How about undereye concealer? (Note that it isn’t called under-eye revealer: “All the better to show off my ginormous, dark, puffy eyebags!”)

These less-than-truthful forms of self-presentation are a lighter shade of the lie this guy told: an “instrumental” lie—a lie used as an “instrument” to get others to give us “material rewards or other personal pleasures or advantages” they wouldn’t if we told the truth.

But consider that people who don’t lie their way through life might see lies in an online dating profile as sort of Spanx-type fibbies: a way to game an unfair system, a la, “I’m so much younger than my real age, and the hot young women I want would see that—uh, if only I could get around their searches where they cut out my age group.”

Getting a realistic sense of a man’s true character probably takes listening and watching over time, especially when he doesn’t know you’re doing it. That should help you avoid missing out on good guys who occasionally retrofit the truth with a little Spandex. And you’ll know to ditch those who are ethically iffy—or worse: for example, some other 48-year-old dude who has the firm body of a man half his age—and if he keeps it in his basement freezer, no one will be the wiser.

has a “reputation,” as in, she’s hooked up with half the men’s soccer team.

She’s beautiful and intelligent, and I don’t understand why she has the low self-esteem to behave that way.

—Rethinking Our Relationship Turn the tables, and imagine a guy who’s hooked up with half the cheerleading squad. Your first thought: “Dude must have a huge...” (and correct me if I’m wrong) “...set of mommy issues.”

There’s a pervasive stereotype (held by both men and women) that women who engage in casual sex have low self-esteem, explains evolutionary social psychologist Jaimie Arona Krems. The underlying Women Amy Alkon assumption: who have casual sex don’t really want it; they’re just settling for it. However, Krems and her colleagues find that this insulting stereotype persists even when women are “explicitly described as choosing to have casual sex.”

The researchers surveyed participants (about their own self-esteem and their perception of others’) using the generally accepted definition of self-esteem: “feeling good about oneself and having a solid sense of one’s self-worth.” The stereotype—that women have casual sex because their self-worth is in the dumpster—“appears to be unfounded.” (Women’s “sexual behavior was not significantly correlated with their self-esteem.”)

They speculate that the stereotype might stem from evolutionary “mismatch”: our living in a modern world with a sometimes-outdated psychological operating system. The psychology guiding us today evolved back when locked knees were the only reliable birth control. It would’ve served ancestral women with high mate value—those with their pick of men—to hold out for commitment before having sex (and possibly offspring) with a man. Thus, we might have “default assumptions that women pursue casual sex only when committed sex is unavailable to them.” (In simple terms, despite all the birth control technology of today, the dial of human psychology is still set to “slut shaming.”)

As for your situation, assuming the rumors aren’t just “guy-perbole,” maybe your girlfriend worked her way through the soccer boys not because she’s a human broken toy but because she’s hot, enjoys sex, and wanted some naked fun while looking for her Mr. Boyfriend.

What does this say about her? Well, after the initial steamy phase of the relationship, the sort of animal she’s most like in bed probably won’t be shrink-wrapped supermarket salmon.

Sustainable Spring Cleanup

Otis Craig Broker, CRS

Detoxifying your home

Indoors Create a cleaner and healthier indoor space with a new spring-cleaning tradition. Ditch the toxins used in some household cleaners and use homemade healthy cleaners. Do a quick online search to find plenty of healthier, safer and easy-to-make homemade cleaners that perform very well. Reusing cleaning bottles over and over also saves loads of plastic from entering the landfills. Instead of using harsh fragrances and air fresheners, use natural essential oils in a diffuser.

To cool off at night, crack windows and run a ceiling fan which will save money on air conditioning costs.

Outdoors Everyone loves a beautifully landscaped lawn, but it can take a lot of

time and water to keep that grass looking green. Consider replacing some of the lawn with decorative rock and drought-tolerant plantings.

Instead of decorative flowers on the patio, try planting useful herbs or other vegetables, fruits and berries.

Consult with an irrigation expert and make sure the sprinklers are on at appropriate times and for proper durations. Living in a high desert, water usage should be a consideration as there is an end to the supply. If it’s time to repaint or refinish a deck, try a water based, eco-friendly product that will perform just as well as oil-based alternatives.

Low-Maintenance Lifestyle People want the best of both worlds: a beautiful home and outdoor space that’s easy to maintain and is in great condition for impromptu dinners and drinks with friends after riding at Phil’s trailhead all day. Lower-maintenance living also adds value to the home.

Improvements such as synthetic decking or a hard paver patio are easy to keep clean and looking great year after year. Lower-water-use landscapes with proper natural weed barriers will keep the outdoors gorgeous with much less water and work. Providing a hardscape at the entrances to a home, like a paver walkway or flagstone patio in conjunction with a dirt-trapping doormat will actually keep floors cleaner for a longer period of time.

When embarking on spring maintenance projects, remember to keep in mind the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse (or Repair) and Recycle wherever possible.

he last few chilly days are soon to be behind us, and the warming temperatures bring flowering plants and trees as Central Oregonians emerge from their winter slumber and begin to gravitate toward the outdoors. Winters can be harsh here, and it takes some spring cleaning and maintenance to get homes in tip-top shape so they can be enjoyed thoroughly, inside and out.

Spring maintenance and cleanup doesn’t have to be a mundane chore; it can actually be a great time to add value to a home and create a cleaner, safer environment for your family and fourlegged friends. People living in Central Oregon love being outdoors, and with busy lives it can be difficult to keep up on the tasks around the home.
