I’m no van-lifer, but last year I had the good fortune to acquire a little cargo van that serves now as my adventure-rig and portal to the mountains, rivers, ocean, forests and plains. Over the last several weekends, I’ve used the van, named Starlight by my dreamer of a niece, to set out on three distinct adventures, all within roughly two hours of Bend. I hope the tales of my trips to Shaniko, Breitenbush and Hood River bring a little light and perhaps some spirit of adventure to these dark fall days. Meanwhile, Copy Editor Richard Sitts puts down the red pen and takes up the writer’s sword to add a complementary tale to my feature: a review of his recent trip to Cowboy Dinner Tree in Silver Lake. Damian Fagan adds to the spirit of adventure with suggested routes for snowshoeing – an activity even the inexperienced can try with confidence. And in Sound, Armando Borrego takes us on another type of journey as he chats with musician Hubby Jenkins about the origins of the banjo, Star Trek’s greatest hits and more. Enjoy the week!

n early November, Rep. Cliff Bentz (R-OR2) took to the floor of U.S. House of Representatives to deliver a 4-minute speech opposing a Senate bill that would turn about 1.1 million acres of the Owyhee Canyonlands in southeastern Oregon into wilderness. Over the past several years, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), along with Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), has worked with a vast group of ranchers, hunters and environmental groups, including the Oregon Natural Desert Association, to establish a compromise for protection, and also use, of the area. Under the tenets of Wyden’s bill, Senate Bill 1890 — the Malheur Community Empowerment for the Owyhee Act — livestock grazing would be allowed, range improvements would be undertaken, federal protections for the Owyhee River would be expanded, and, perhaps most importantly for the individuals and tribes who live and work in the area, a local council would oversee all of it – ensuring the buzzword of “local control” is heeded. But that bill, representing years of work and compromise among stakeholders in the area, didn’t seem to be enough for Bentz. Rather than working to understand the compromises made by the various stakeholder groups under SB 1890 – or perhaps even bringing it up in his rare meetings with Wyden — Bentz instead introduced House Resolution 4821 into the Department of the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act – a resolution that bars the use of funds to establish any national monument in Malheur County. That bill recently passed in the House, but has yet to be approved by the Senate. Bentz says he also plans to introduce more legislation that pertains to the Owyhee.

The thing is, no one is yet moving forward on the establishment of a national monument in Malheur County. What Wyden and the locals who are part of the Senate proposal are after, rather, is a wilderness protection bill that stops short of designating the area a national monument. So while Bentz may win points among some who fuzzily oppose the restrictions of a monument out of pocket, the legislation afoot by Wyden and company is an effort at a compromise, rather than the “nuclear option” of a presidential monument designation, as allowed under the Antiquities Act. Some still hope the Antiquities Act can be used by President Biden if this Senate bill fails, but for the moment, the hope is for an action by Congress instead. When he talked to the Malheur Enterprise about his actions in regard to the Owyhee, Bentz told the newspaper that he’d based his speech and his House resolution on information he’d gleaned in 2015 – when a proposal to designate 2.5 million acres of the Owyhee as a national monument failed. But that’s old information. The current proposal is for 1.1 million acres, and if everyone plays ball, wouldn’t involve a national monument designation. What a gaffe on Bentz’s part. Rural individuals and tribes have often complained that the feds don’t listen to them. They contend that they, the people who live in an area, are the best experts about the use of the land. These are the very arguments that led to the creation of Wyden’s bill. In this case, it seems that the “fed” who isn’t listening is Bentz, not the senators and stakeholders who worked to craft a compromise bill for the Owyhee.

RE: SHEPHERD’S HOUSE INTRODUCES PERMANENT SHELTER IN REDMOND. NEWS, 11/9

—Nicole Perullo via bendsource.com

Recently, the Oregon Capital Chronicle revealed that McLeod-Skinner berates her staff and creates “nightmarish” campaign conditions. It may help explain why all the big-name Democratic endorsers have abandoned her to support other candidates. The most successful politicians know how to build and nurture relationships to get things done. Based on the way she treats her staff and her inability to keep endorsers, I get the impression that she is incapable of maintaining relationships – of building loyalty and trust. We should not ignore that. I have voted for McLeod-Skinner. I have supported her multiple campaigns. But we must be realistic about this primary. Many voters are invested in her success. But do we really want to be a group of voters who, despite a candidate’s losing track record, seek to elevate them simply out of emotional devotion? There’s already a political party in this country that is doing just that in 2024. Ours should not. It's time to drop Jamie McLeod-Skinner. —Chris Johnson

TIME TO DROP JAMIE MCLEOD-SKINNER The Source recently urged the DCCC to take CD-5 seriously this time around, identifying three possible reasons as to why the last democratic candidate lost: hurt feelings from Schrader’s camp, party over-confidence and underestimating the Republican. While these all may have played a role into why the republican won, the Source didn’t identify what I believe is the main reason democrats lost the seat: the candidate. Biden won the district in its current form by nine points. Jamie McLeod-Skinner lost it by two. That is an 11-point spread.

NONPROFIT GIVE GUIDE Thank you, Source Weekly for including the Give guide in issue 45. I am amazed by all of the wonderful, helpful organizations in Central Oregon helping families, children and pets. Over the years I didn't think too much about nonprofit organizations. I would become aware only if a place such as a museum mailed a letter explaining how and why they do what they do and need help. I try to give to Doctors Without Borders when I am paid up on my bills. I had no idea how tough it is to run a nonprofit until I needed one a couple

of years ago after I suffered a stroke. And just because I used to love riding my bicycles, I could talk non-stop about what to do to get into cycling when I was in the hospital. I always looked for ways to help the nurses or doctors for helping me and when they got me on the subject of cycling I would probably talk a bit too much. While in a physical therapy session I was talking to a physical therapist about his bike that I was able to tune up and true his wheels on a used bike that he had just purchased. When I remembered how to do it with my right arm (the arm that works) I was pretty relieved to see that I guess I didn't have any brain damage. But I broke one of the no-talking rules to the new cyclist physical therapist during a session when I was getting treatment. The therapist working on me got up and left the room. She was gone for a few minutes and I thought she was mad at me for talking about cycling. She came back in and said, "You really want to get outside to do activities again don't you?" She continued, "I made you a copy of this nonprofit physical therapy organization called Destination Rehab.” There were people kayaking on the pamphlet! She said, “They will get you outside!" I went home and contacted them through their website saying I think I just got fired from my physical therapy office as a client recovering from a stroke. Destination rehab emailed me minutes later!

I have been very thankful since. If I had extra money to give them I would, because I don't think any of the therapists would think twice about using their own money to help any of their clients to enjoy the outdoors again. Now that I am being helped by a nonprofit I will try to give back using your Give Guide! Thank you for the work involved for producing it! —Allen Lucas

While it’s nice to offer permanent shelter, with that offer there is no requirement for background checks or moving towards sobriety. Therefore success rate to permanent housing is low. The Bethlehem Inn in Redmond, as of last week on a local news broadcast, stated they had 22 beds available and don’t have occupants so they were thinking of transitioning those units to housing style apartments for those on the verge of losing housing. They have requirements and are high barrier. This really says something about the choices being made by the houseless and that they actually don’t want to make change and be held accountable. There is a great resource for them and they don’t want to have skin in the game. This is exactly why housing first does not work. If we are going to help solve this crisis, people need to be held accountable. So with 22 beds available, why did we use resources for Shepherd’s House. It’s a valid question. I am a bit perplexed by this.

Affordable Housing Community Planned for Redmond

Rooted Homes and Housing Works are working to receive funding for a joint complete community in Redmond By Julianna LaFollette

ooted Homes and Housing Works announced a new 76-unit community in Redmond. The Antler Campus will offer residents a mix of affordable housing and office space, including rental units, affordable homeownership units and commercial buildings. The 60-unit garden-style apartment buildings will be available for households earning less than 60% of the area median income. The 16 permanent affordable housing units will be designed as duplexes for households earning less than 80% AMI. The complete community will have on-site parking, community gardens, playgrounds and walkability to social-service facilities in the area. The community

will include commercial offices, including the new offices for both Rooted Homes and Housing Works, and a standalone building envisioned as a daycare. “Rooted and Housing Works have been looking to recreate what we’ve built together at Simpson in the city of Bend,” said Jackie Keogh, the executive director at Rooted Homes. “This idea of an idealistic community where there’s rental, ownership and commercial for residents essentially to thrive, not just at one moment in their lifecycle, but all moments.” According to Keogh, this project acts as an anti-displacement strategy for Central Oregon, giving locals an opportunity to live and remain in their communities.

“This idea of an idealistic community where there’s rental, ownership and commercial for residents essentially to thrive, not just at one moment in their lifecycle, but all moments.” —Jackie Keogh

Both organizations will apply for funding for construction in January through the Oregon Housing Community Services. While the cost of construction is not currently known, Keogh expects it to be close to the Bend Simpson project, which was a $20 million project on Rooted Homes’ side. If both organizations receive funding, they will start construction in summer of 2024 and start welcoming homeowners in 2025.

Street Racing Suspects Arrested

Mt. Bachelor Enforces Uphill Passes

end police arrested two individuals in connection with an ongoing street racing investigation. Suspects 22-year old Mason Price and Tyler Fox were arrested on suspicion of reckless driving on Nov. 2 and Nov. 3. In August, Bend PD received complaints about reckless driving, street racing and drifting on roads and roundabouts, according to a press release. The Bend Police traffic team was able to identify the vehicles and owners through Instagram posts after they began an investigation into the street racing. According to the press release, additional drivers may be cited in this operation.

t. Bachelor is implementing a new rule at the mountain this year, requiring guests to obtain a free Uphill Pass at the start of the 2023-2024 season. Starting on opening day, uphill travel enthusiasts can acquire an uphill pass and armband by agreeing to Mt. Bachelor’s Uphill Policy and signing the Winter Express Assumption of Risk form, according to Mt. Bachelor’s website. Visitors are required to wear the armbands at all times, including non-operating hours, when utilizing uphill travel routes on resort property. The uphill pass does not provide access to lifts. Uphill passes and armbands can be accessed through guest services at Mt. Bachelor. Uphill travel routes, including the Pine Marten Route, the Cinder Cone Route and the Summit Route, are available during the winter season. The mountain, which is set to open on Nov. 24, has three kiosks, located online and at the bottom of each trail, showing the status of trails.

An uphill pass may be a new enforcement at Mt. Bachelor, but several other U.S. resorts have started applying this requirement as well. Several ski resorts in Colorado, including Aspen Snowmass, Loveland and Arapahoe Basin, require uphill passes, charging anywhere from $50 to $109.

Mt. Bachelor advises guests who take part in uphill travel to follow proper protocol and etiquette, which includes checking uphill travel status and information, following designating uphill routes and adhering to closures.

Commercial Controversy

Residents at Petrosa were promised a “complete community.” Now, they learn it could take years. By Julianna LaFollette Courtesy Compass Commercial

The dotted lines above ouline land areas that have been zoned for commercial use.

Ju li a

n 2016, the City of Bend expanded the Urban Growth Boundary, which included an area in northeast Bend aimed at creating a new, complete community. Petrosa, a Pahlisch community, was master planned to include a mix of residential and commercial uses. While the residential portion of this neighborhood is underway, community members are still waiting for the planned commercial development to follow suit, creating a more tte convenient neighborhood. lle Fo Located at the intersection of NE Butler Market and Deschutes Market roads sits an area of land designated for commercial development in the Petrosa Master Plan, per the City of Bend Development Code 2.7.3900. The Markets at Petrosa is planned to offer space for a variety of businesses, including retail, health and wellness, professional and medical. According to a Markets at Petrosa information packet, “The location of the project will create a retail and rooftop synergy that will make the NE quadrant one of Bend’s most desirable and sought-after areas.” After years of construction on homes and other neighborhood amenities, including a 4-acre central park, a private pool, fitness facilities and a community clubhouse, the area designated for commercial developments is still awaiting construction. The land is currently for sale. “The commercial-zoned parcels have been for sale for years while we look for the right specialized commercial developer to build the area to its highest and best use,” said Jessica Seidel, the marketing senior director at Pahlisch. Residents — including several people involved in a lively discussion about the neighborhood on Reddit — have raised concerns regarding the delayed commercial space. “I can’t believe that a developer plats out

acres and acres of expanded UGB, gets it approved by the City, then reneges on a portion of that,” Liz Lotochinski, a Mountain View Neighborhood District board member, told the Source Weekly after seeing that the land was for sale. Lotochinski lives within walking distance of the planned Markets at Petrosa location. She was looking forward to the finished development. According to Seidel at Pahlisch, the plan is still in motion. “Unfortunately, commercial development has been delayed in response to changing market conditions and high-interest rates, but our commitment to the area has not changed.” When it comes to commercial development, Colin Stephens, community economic and development director for the City of Bend, noted that it typically comes after residential development. “In general, it takes a certain amount of development and people living in the area to make commercial areas viable,” said Stephens. Seidel with Pahlisch echoed these reasons for the delay. “The sales of homes add to the desirability of the Petrosa commercial area for retail businesses.” Stephens compared the pace of the Petrosa development to that of the now-established neighborhood, Northwest Crossing. “Some of the commercial land is still not built out, and it took years for the market to support what is there,” he said. Development in Northwest Crossing started in 2004 and has taken over a decade, according to Stephens, for the commercial to turn into what we see today. While the City is responsible for expanding the UGB and approving the master planned community, Stephens said it has no control over the timing. “We, the City of Bend, can only set the table. We can’t force people to eat. The UGB expansion set the

“I was looking forward to the markets. It was going to be an amazing convenience for me, having shops, stores, restaurants, a grocery store and things like that there.” —Liz Lotochinski table for areas all around town to have complete communities. The timing of construction of all of the elements it takes to make a complete community is driven by the private market and is not something under the city’s control,” said Stephens. Although the promise of commercial development may have driven some people to the Petrosa area in the first place, the annexation agreement that brought the land into city limits had no set requirement for timing or exact types of commercial uses. “We can’t force people to build buildings at a certain schedule,” said Stephens. Pahlisch, in accordance with the UGB expansion, was only required to create buildable lots. According to Stephens, this has been accomplished. “Pahlisch has fulfilled their requirements because they have developed commercial lots with new adjacent roundabouts, urban infrastructure an access points that allow people to get to these commercial lots.” The City is also responsible for regulating the allowed land uses. Since the Petrosa lot was initially approved for commercial use, it will remain zoned for commercial uses. “While the development of new communities is a long process, the future is bright at Petrosa, and we look forward to realizing the vision we have for northeast Bend,” said Seidel. Still, nearby resident Lotochinski hopes to soon see the area built out for the community. “I was looking forward to the markets. It was going to be an amazing convenience for me, having shops, stores, restaurants, a grocery store and things like that there.”

The busy summer tourist season is behind us, the days are short and with the holidays looming, many of us could use a little something to look forward to. From the rivers to the forests to the plains, let these mini-trips within about two hours of Bend give you some inspiration for adventure.

any in Bend have caught wind of what’s going on at the Campfire Hotel, where a fun atmosphere, great food and drink and a host of events have brought not just tourists, but locals to the spot along Third Street in Bend. But Hood River got its dose of this alchemy first, when the same people behind the Campfire and the Jupiter Hotel in Portland bought the historic Hood River Hotel in 2017. Situated right along Oak Street in the heart of downtown, the Hood River Hotel doesn’t look or feel like the Campfire, but with its classic turn-of-the-century-meetshipster vibe, it’s chock-full of offerings that make this an excellent option for a two-hour getaway from Central Oregon. (Technically, among the three itineraries shared in this feature, this one is the longest ride, at 2.5 hours from Bend.) Checking in to the hotel gives visitors their first taste of the region. On my visit, that came in the form of fresh, pink-fleshed apples from nearby Kiyokawa Family Orchards to help stave off any peckishness the road might have brought on. It’s something of an advertisement for Hood River’s well-known “Fruit Loop,” a self-guided rural farm tour that brings visitors to farm stands, U-pick orchards, cideries and wineries – a great excuse to support local agriculture and have a great time, too. Upstairs in our third-floor room — more of a sweet 1911-style apartment than your average hotel suite — my two dogs, two friends and I enjoyed the expansive views of the Columbia River — “Nch’i-Wàna” in the Sahaptin language traditionally spoken by the Warm

Springs and other indigenous people of the area. Visiting a pet-friendly hotel means I’m more inclined to stay more than just a night, as like a lot of Northwesterners, life is just better with a dog (or two) to adventure with.

Hood River area recreation In warmer times, swirling dots above the river mark the spot where countless windsurfers come to test their skills in the mighty river winds – not so much though in late October. Still, it’s sunny out, and Hood River is bustling with people headed to the downtown wineries and outdoor shops. On the river close to the hotel is The Spit, a dog-friendly sandbar that gives us all a quick respite from the car. It’s also a good swimming and kiteboarding spot in summer, I’m told – and a lot more chill than the Hood River Event Site, launchpad for myriad windsurfers and gawkers, located just west. (Also, parking at The Spit is free.) Fall, in my opinion, is the ideal time, before the rains come en force, to ride mountain bikes in Post Canyon, Hood River’s network of steep, climbing trails. But hoping this time for a less heart-pounding ride, we head instead to the Klickitat Trail across the river in Lyle, Washington, a flat, fairly easy railsto-trails path that winds along the river and offers plenty of gorgeous fall foliage. From there we head to Cor Cellars, a winery with a hip, Scandi-vibes tasting room and plenty of windows to sit back and enjoy the view.

A murder mystery There’s so much to explore in this region and we’ve barely even begun to scratch the surface, but it’s time to head back to the hotel to get dressed up for a murder mystery. Our visit took place the weekend before Halloween, when the staff at the Hood River Hotel put together a fun event and a reason to add “old Hollywood” to my Halloween-costume repertoire. The basement of the Hood River Hotel contains a large gathering room with a bar, where on this weekend, people gathered to try to solve the “Best Laid Plans” mystery — who killed the scheming director… or wait, will there be multiple victims? “The Murder Mystery was a combined effort of myself, Baylee Olson in sales and Rachel Rand, front desk supervisor,” Hood River Hotel Manager James Pearrow told the Source Weekly. “We brought the Murder Mystery Company from Portland to put on their show this year and last year. We plan to bring back them or a similar company next year!” While the murder mystery won’t be back in the Hood River Hotel for a while, plenty of other upcoming events might occasion a visit. Hood River dives right into the holiday season as soon as Thanksgiving is over. “The first weekend of December is full of events for the holiday traveler,” Pearrow told me. “On Friday December 1st, Hood River will have their annual tree lighting and parade, shops will stay open longer, and free downtown parking! We will have our Holiday Vintage Bazaar Friday and Saturday December

1st and 2nd. This will be our 2nd year hosting this and it was a big success for all the vendors and shoppers last year.” The day after the Vintage Bazaar, on Dec. 3, the Hood River Hotel hosts yet another Diva Drag Brunch, featuring the same troupe who frequents the Campfire Hotel in Bend.

Morning in Hood River Mornings, for me, are about coffee and books – and among the vintage odds and ends, my suite inside the Hood River Hotel has both in spades. I pick up a vintage copy of “The Accidental Tourist” and force myself to finish the whole thing while outside the wind whips and rain starts pouring down, comfy bed all the more enticing. Downstairs, breakfast greets me at Broder Øst, the Nordic-inspired spot that originated in east Portland and still claims a piece of my brunchy heart. Here at Broder Øst, slabs of delightful bread topped with local, seasonal mushrooms and an egg on top complement the copious amounts of coffee I need the day after a Halloween murder mystery. Going home from vacation is not something I relish, usually – but on this vacation, the trip back isn’t so bad when it involves gazing at the glory of Wy’east – Mt. Hood – alive and taking up the bulk of the windshield. Soon enough, we’ll be back to our own form of hygge – more coffee, a warm fire and abundant Central Oregon sun to welcome us home.

Shaniko Hotel Manager AlexSandra Conway welcomes a visitor to the haunted room 14. Her ghostly nemesis, name unknown, is portrayed on the wall in another room and reportedly, none too happy that a woman is running his hotel. At right, Conway shuts a window the ghost purportedly opened.

Shaniko Hotel I

don’t think I’m the first one to get a little turned upside down in Shaniko, and I don’t think I’ll be the last. The historic Shaniko Hotel in the ghost town of Shaniko, Oregon, along Highway 97, reopened this August after a 16-year closure. Travelers moving between Madras and Biggs Junction sometimes stop in the old wool depot of Shaniko to check out its historical relics, including an old jail (complete with an actual skeleton wearing a Mexican sombrero), a mini museum and the iconic wool building bearing the town’s name in giant letters on the roof. Opened at the turn of the 20th Century by the Columbia Southern Railway, the hotel was a hive of activity for about a decade, when Shaniko was the loading point for wool producers of the area. But Shaniko’s star began to fall right about the same time as Bend’s was rising. In 1910, construction of the Oregon Trunk line made it the choice route for travelers and freight moving from the Columbia River, up through the Deschutes Canyon to Bend. The Columbia Southern line, then, was not long for this world. Up to this summer, the most prominent building in Shaniko was off limits – until its owner, the media mogul and businessman Robert B. Pamplin, Jr., settled on a deal that allowed the town’s fire department, the nonprofit South Wasco Fire & Rescue, to lease the building and re-open the hotel. The hope is that funds raised by the hotel will support the all-volunteer fire team and improve the town, population 30 or so. The SWFR also operates the nearby Firehouse RV Park, featuring 20 RV spots, current Fire Chief Scott Marrs told the Source Weekly. As one of those travelers who fairly regularly travels this route to Biggs and the Columbia River Gorge, I am among the curious who always wondered what was inside that large brick building,

wrapped with its iconic white porch. Little did I know that when I would finally get the chance to see inside, my visit would unfold like the classic script of a horror flick. I arrived around 4:30pm, which in late fall means it was nearly dark. Inside, the lone staff member asked me whether I’d like the haunted room. Oh, and by the way, he said, he’d be leaving at 8pm — after which I’d be alone in the hotel, and would I please lock and unlock the door should I want to leave. I did want to leave — like right then.

The beautiful mystery bites back Gathering my wits and my most factual, no-nonsense self, I say that yes, I’ll take Room 14, the haunted room. Then I promptly begin to question my life choices. It may seem counterintuitive for a person who spends her work life telling other people about the places and people around them, but when I travel, I like to embrace the beautiful mystery – meaning I try my best not to engage in too much travel-related research before I go. Perhaps it’s a pushback against the legions of Instagrammers who all go to the same places and eat at the same Insta-recommended hotspots when they travel. Perhaps it’s just that nothing seems to be mysterious anymore, and I want to reclaim some of the enigma that seemed to delight intrepid travelers before smartphones came around. Whatever it is, I drove out to Shaniko loosely knowing that it was a “ghost town” without necessarily considering that my night would involve sleeping with purported ghosts. But here I was, alone, even without my usual faithful duo of dogs (no dogs

The former wool outpost has a population of about 30 — not counting the ghosts

allowed), about to spend the night in what the staff unabashedly calls the haunted room. Cliché horror movie opening sequence, check.

Sleeping with the ghosts Upstairs, the hallways are doomily lit with the type of flickering lights that add perfectly to the tableau. I drop my bags in Room 14, a fairly average-looking room with a single queen bed, and have a little trouble getting the lights to turn on. Fortunately, the Shaniko Hotel is equipped with Starlink internet that helps me promptly get a cheerful Netflix show going, in hopes of deadening any other freaky sounds. While I’m settling in, the fire chief, Marrs, calls and invites me down to the lobby for a chat. While we’re talking, a car pulls up, its California plates signaling another curious traveler. Sure enough, a guy walks in and asks for a room. The horror-movie script flips a bit as I realize I am no longer spending the night alone in this place. Sigh of relief. Upstairs again, I decide it’s still not worth tempting the ghosts. I leave no messes. I place my shoes in the least-offensive posture by the door. I refrain from busting out any booze in this place, once a good-time hotel in a “wet” town where plenty of shots have been fired and plenty of shenanigans have happened. Maybe the more peace-loving ghosts will appreciate my good behavior – after all, horror flicks always seem to blame the victims for some ethical infraction. The ghosts do appreciate the effort, apparently, as nothing weird happens in the night. Still, I kept the lamp on, wanting a full view of any residents who may visit my room. In the morning, the hotel’s manager, AlexSandra Conway, confirms what I intuited in the night. The resident ghost

By Nicole Vulcan of Room 14, she says, is a lady of the night named Nettie who took her own life in that room. Nettie didn’t want to be a prostitute; but after being abandoned by her husband and daughter, was forced into the life. Other ghosts Conway describes include a former manager of the hotel, a little girl who purportedly died in an auto accident on the highway and rolls a blue ball around the halls, an obstinate worker from the wool building and an unnamed man who Conway says hates that a woman is now running the hotel. “There’s a photo of him in Room 8,” she tells me. We go to see it. When we open the door, the howl of a west wind greets us, and we find the room’s two windows both wide open. It’s the jerk playing tricks, Conway says. When I look at the photo on the wall, I get a heavy feeling in my chest that doesn’t subside until I leave the room. As she shuts the door, Conway haughtily reminds anyone who’s listening that she is, whether they like it or not, the manager here. I complete my trip with a visit to the Seven Directions cafe, currently located in the hotel’s dining hall after a semi trucker drove through the cafe’s original building. Biscuits and an egg bring me back to some sense of normalcy. When I get home, I realize my hairbrush is missing. Whether it was a trick Nettie decided to play on me or whether I just left it somewhere, I’ll never know. Most times, I vacate a hotel by doing the “idiot check” under all the furniture. This time, I was too scared to look under the bed. Shaniko Hotel

Heed Your Head at Breitenbush Hot Springs Partially destroyed in the 2020 fires, this hot springs gem offers lessons in resilience for changing times By Nicole Vulcan

t the door of the hot-spring-heated sauna at Breitenbush Hot Springs & Retreat Center sits a helpful sign: Heed Your HEAD. Practically speaking, it’s a reminder that the doors to this wonderful dose of rejuvenation are hobbit-sized. Spiritually speaking, it was a reminder to me that entering this sauna, with its mix of steam sent from a hot stream, through wooden floor slats and into our bodies,

was an invitation to check the head at said door. Embodiment – that quest to exist in more than just the parts of the body that exist above the throat chakra – was, after all, a theme for this Women’s Only Weekend, filled with healing circles, yoga sessions, Cascade rain and merry-making. And to think, one more gust of wind to the north or south and all of this might not be here.

A hot springs after the fire

A place for rejuvenation, and climate contemplation For those seeking a getaway where wifi and cell service is non-existent and where rustic, tree-filled landscapes meet creature comforts like a guest library, massages and hot food that you didn’t have to cook yourself, this is the spot. (People with a day pass can opt to add lunch to their ticket; meals come included for overnight guests.)

13 VOLUME 27 ISSUE 46 / NOVEMBER 16, 2023 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

If anything signifies the state of the world in 2023, maybe it’s a visit to a healing sanctuary, still working to heal itself from a massive climate-related catastrophe. The Labor Day Fires of 2020 — a collection of fires that culminated in one big megafire that destroyed the nearby town of Detroit and burned over 1 million acres, made its way, too, to this retreat center – where guests can stay overnight in cabins, rooms, tents or their own vehicles, or just come for the day and soak in any number of the hot spring pools. It was once a meeting place for Kalapuya and Mollala tribes from the west Cascades, and Chinookan and Sahaptin peoples from the east, some of whom called the place Altat Satosh. Miraculously, the historic lodge that serves as a meeting place and dining hall for the center was left intact, but around the property remain pockets of singed trees — a testament to fire’s mercurial nature. All of the guest cabins were destroyed, along with guest spaces including the massage and Sanctuary building. The property was forced to close for nearly a year and reopened for weekends only in June 2021, with a full reopening of Breitenbush later that fall. During my first visit to Breitenbush, in the mid-2000s, I stayed in a communal cabin, thermally heated by the hot springs. At this visit, it was a bit disorienting not to see them there. “With our guest cabins destroyed in the fire, it was crucial for us to come up with new accommodation options,” David Hyink, events & marketing coordinator for Breitenbush, told the Source Weekly. “Post-fire, we have put up beautiful canvas tents called the Aviaries, we built accommodation buildings (the Grove) where our old cabins used to be, along with a new bathhouse and several yurts along the river. We even converted a dairy truck into five small rooms with twin beds! Additionally, many of our event venue spaces were turned into guest accommodations. Those have become some of the most popular overnight stay options for guests, and we are still debating whether or not we will return to using them for workshops full time. Our library in the Lodge was heavily reworked, and is now where our gift shop and massage rooms are found,” Hyink shared. Surprisingly, much of the tree cover — and the healing waters -- that made Breitenbush so magical have remained.

It’s just 1 hour 50 minutes from Bend, but traveling up and over the Cascade crest, through the massive burns of Detroit and Idanha and into a dripping forest where families of deer don’t feel threatened enough to run away, feels a lot like slipping into a zone much farther than the one indicated on the odometer. I don’t know about you, but for me, in 2020, experiencing the triple whammies of a pandemic, racial justice demonstrations and then Oregon’s biggest loss of human lives and property due to wildfire, was, well, a bit much for any one year to hold, or any one journalist to fathom. Seeing how we emerge now, three years on, is just one more part of that fathoming. Going back to a place where I’d previously sought a dose of tranquility, and seeing it exposed and then emerging from climate-related catastrophe is enough to send anyone pondering: How many more sacred spaces will be damaged or lost in our lifetimes? How many more times will we be similarly exposed, and able to emerge victorious? And, what lessons do we still have to learn from the Kalapuya and Mollala, and other peoples who stewarded these great forests for centuries before Europeans arrived? This is the paradox and the lesson of such a place: While I’m there, lounging in the mineral-infused waters of this outdoor pool or that one, it’s easy to relax and to embrace healing. Heed Your Head – melt into healing and let the body relax into the moment. Then, use said Head to speak about change once you’re back home.

The Last Frontier

Ahead of his concert at The Belfry, singer/songwriter Hubby Jenkins discusses his music, his musical mission and Star Trek captains By Armando Borrego

Courtesy Hubby Jenkins

on’t get me started,” old-time strings musician Hubby Jenkins warned with a laugh. The question: Captain Kirk or Captain Jean-Luc Picard? “There’s room for both, me specifically though, in that captain role I prefer the cool, calm and collected Picard compared to Kirk. My favorite captain is Captain Sisko though – Black Captain,” said Jenkins. With one small question about “Star Trek,” the artist proudly cops to his obsession, and isn’t afraid to tell anyone they’re wrong if they think “Deep Space Nine” isn’t the best installment of the beloved franchise. “It (‘Deep Space Nine’) tests the Federation's foundations and morals,” Jenkins explained. “Star Trek at its core for me is about the idea that we as humans will eventually become evolved enough to live and interact in that way. "Deep Space Nine" deals with social norms and asks if morals hold up over time in that evolution. I’ll leave it there, though, as I could talk ‘Deep Space Nine’ for hours.” Despite his favorite subject on the tip of our tongues, Jenkins’ focus is on the music, and understandably so. Hubby Jenkins is a skilled multi-instrumentalist, including the guitar and banjo, with a musical style that reflects a deep appreciation for traditional folk and blues. Before embarking on his solo career, Jenkins gained recognition as a member of Grammy Award-winning string band The Carolina Chocolate Drops. While in the band, Jenkins was able to continue exploring the African American roots of old-time music that inspired him. Holding great appreciation for his time with the group, Jenkins believes that his efforts and musical style have stayed true in his songs as a solo artist. “I’d say the biggest difference, when I’m on tour now, I can stop when I want… Another one is that there’s nobody there on stage to cover up my mistakes," Jenkins said through a laugh. The banjo, often associated with Appalachian bluegrass, finds a new voice in his skilled hands. He reclaims this instrument's history, tracing its roots back to Africa and its journey through the American South during the era of slavery. “The banjo is a Black instrument, time really has shifted its reputation in public opinion. When I was growing up, it was ‘Beverly Hillbillies’ and ‘Hee-Haw,’ and I didn't know any of that,” he confessed. Through educational research and strengthening the connection to his heritage, Jenkins has taken it upon himself to revitalize the banjo's narrative, infusing it with the spirit of survival and cultural endurance that defines African American history. During his career, Jenkins admits that the subject of Black history was not welcomed by all of his audiences. “Doing my shows, it's about the root of issues facing Black people, and I’ve gotten some push back on certain subjects,” Jenkins said. With passion and purpose, Jenkins returned to his own childhood for answers, using “Choose-Your-Own Adventure” books as a device to engage his listeners and keep their attention. “It's an excuse to have fun, because I like them.” Jenkins revealed. “But it's also a great way to interact with the audience. It's a tool for keeping people active and open to new ideas that are in my songs.” Jenkins has been a collector of vintage “Choose-Your-Own Adventure” books for years. As Jenkins continues to pluck strings that bind past and present, it’s a demonstrable fact that his music serves as a living history lesson and a reminder that every note can carry centuries of weight with it.

J Bar J's Youth Advisory Council Plays a Vital Role in Addressing Youth Homelessness.

Central Oregon faces one of the highest rates of youth experiencing homelessness in the country. In response, our community has joined forces, raising our collective voice to a national level in the fight against youth homelessness. J Bar J Youth Services is a leader in this response, with Eliza Wilson at the center as their Director of Services for Runaway and Homeless Youth while also serving as Director of the Homeless Leadership Coalition (HLC). The Homeless Leadership Coalition is a collaborative effort that brings together community partners from Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson counties, along with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. It serves as the region's Continuum of Care (CoC), a concept that encompasses a broad range of services and infrastructure aimed at addressing the diverse needs of individuals experiencing homelessness. This continuum includes street outreach, temporary shelter, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing. The CoC model promotes a collective impact approach to tackling homelessness. Within the CoC framework, J Bar J's Youth Advisory Council plays a vital role, especially in addressing youth homelessness. Comprising youth currently residing in Grandma’s House or Cascade Youth & Family Center’s LOFT—two shelters for unaccompanied youth operated by J Bar J Youth Services—and former residents who have transitioned to stable housing, the council actively participates in HLC community meetings. They identify system gaps, review policies and procedures, and contribute to the planning process for youth-focused programs. The council benefits from the guidance and support of adult staff to ensure their recommendations align with best practices.

We Are jbarj.org cascadeyouthandfamilycenter.org | grandmashouseofco.org

In the ﬁght against youth homelessness, Central Oregon has shown its determination and resilience, with J Bar J Youth Services and the Homeless Leadership Coalition at the forefront of this movement. Together, they are working tirelessly to create a brighter future for the region's youth and transform the narrative surrounding homelessness.

luegrass balladeer Pete Kartsounes continues to provide amazing music the same way he has for the past two decades — authentically. The artist’s unbridled style and stormcloud voice will be on full display on Friday, Nov. 17 at Unity Community of Central Oregon. On the subject of how he has managed to create such a vast discography, the award-winning singer/songwriter has never wanted to deny his connection to the natural world. In fact, Kartsounes believes that his appreciation for the beauty of nature is integral to his vision as a creator. “Nature inspires me to do it all,” said Kartsounes. “All of it is entwined for me personally. I get my inspiration mainly when I’m out hiking. That's why I live in Bend.” With several years as a professional musician under his fingers, Kartsounes recalls that he received a looper pedal from his girlfriend, which he admits changed the game. “I love creating pictures with my music,” he stated. “With the pedal, it's kind of like being the Bob Ross of music,” Kartsounes likened, “building on what you’ve done. It allows you time to improvise.” Many modern artists utilize looper pedals in their music. World-renowned names like Ed Sheeran, Red Hot Chili Peppers ex-guitarist Josh Klinghoffer and Jacob Collier are some of the few who use loopers to build fields of sound and replicate a multi-instrumental band within their solo acts.

Yet Kartsounes insists that his means of creation is both a visual as well as a musical expression. “I just create; it's just on autopilot. Any kind of artistic expression, visual or sonic, that's what I like to swim in,” Kartsounes divulged. No telling if his successful videography/photography career has had any role in his philosophy. After focusing his efforts in the world of music and instrumentals and releasing six albums since 2020, Kartsounes let slip that he is currently in production on new singer/songwriter material with a secret Nashville-based producer, eyeing a return to his recording roots. “It hasn’t been difficult at all to switch back in. I'm back in the songwriting vehicle. I’ve been writing a lot. A whole slew of songs, like almost an album's worth of material, kind of spilled out over the last few months,” said Kartsounes. Pete Kartsounes' 2022 album, “Revelation,” mastered by Grammy-winning engineer David Glasser and released this past spring, has been lauded as a soundscape experience that paints a picture of dance, full of heart and meditation. Kartsounes is also a proud local artist, playing Preston Thompson acoustic guitars, made in Sisters. An Evening with Award-winning Singer/Songwriter Pete Kartsounes Fri., Nov. 17, 7-9pm Unity of Community of Central Oregon 63645 Scenic Dr., Bend Petekmusic.com $20-$25

LITTLE BITES Recipe: Thanksgiving Magma

Ari Levaux

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / NOVEMBER 16, 2023 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Ari Levaux

year has come and gone since I happened upon a flame-orange paste from roasted squash and red peppers. I call it Magma, because it’s red and earthy, but I could also call it autumn mayonnaise, because it improves everything it touches. Whatever we name it, I am still grasping the implications. It’s a dip, a spread, a sauce, dressing and soup that’s as hot, cold, spicy, mild or seasoned as you wish. Magma debuted at Thanksgiving dinner. The crimson emulsion was like a second gravy for the turkey. Its sweet pungency enhanced the stuffing, which sounds impossible but it’s true. The potatoes, dressed in red, became all the more delectable, and the Midwestern casserole became downright edible. Magma Sauce The quantities listed here will make about a quart of magma. If you want to make a different amount, use a ratio of one large pepper per pound of squash. As a soup it serves four. As a sauce, a few more. • A 6-lb kabocha squash (or similar starchy winter squash) • 8 bell peppers, red or yellow (the flavor is good with both, but the color is better with red) • Optional: some hot peppers if you want more fire in the Magma • 1 head of garlic to roast, plus a clove raw • 4 tablespoons olive oil • 1 teaspoon thyme or oregano • 1 teaspoon salt; more to taste Set the oven to 375. Cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and lay the halves down on a baking pan. Cook until soft enough to feel softness when pushing from the outside, about 45 minutes. In a separate pan roast the peppers, turning once or twice so they blister on both sides. Remove the peppers after about 30 minutes, or when they are completely blistered and collapsed. Put the head of garlic into a small bakeable container, like a ½ pint mason jar, along with the olive oil, and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove the ingredients when ready and allow to cool to a safe temperature to work with. Peel the blistered peppers as best you can – it’s OK if some bits of skin remain – and scrape out the seeds. Scoop out the squash seeds, then scoop the flesh out of the skin. Gently peel or squeeze the roasted garlic to get red of the skins, and add the garlic and the oil to the blender, along with the squash flesh, pepper flesh, herbs and salt. Puree. Season with more salt if necessary. Puree again. This is the end of the recipe for magma, but the beginning of all of the things you will do with it.

CHOW I

A Two-Hour Food Adventure: Cowboy Dinner Tree

Far-flung culinary oasis serves up classic cowboy vittles By Richard Sitts

t takes a bit of effort to get out to the Cowboy Dinner Tree. First, you had best make a reservation, the further ahead, the better. At that time, diners must make their menu choice, whether to attack the whole roasted chicken or take on the 26-30-ounce Cowboy Cut Top Sirloin. Then, there’s the drive, about 88 miles south of Bend. Journeying out there is like taking a trip back into time, back into the rough and rustic wide-open outback of Central Oregon. And the trip is worth it, something that every Oregonian should experience at least once. My wife and I have been there close to a half-dozen times over the past 12 years. Every time has been a treat for all the senses. Just head south on US-97 past La Pine, then turn east on OR-31 toward Paisley. As you near Silver Lake keep an eye out for the Cowboy Dinner Tree sign and turn right on East Bay Road. About 4.7 miles down this two-lane blacktop, look for another sign on the right and pull into the Cowboy Dinner Tree’s dirt parking lot. From this point on, it’s time to get your Wild West on! There is no host station but as soon as you enter the cozy, low-ceiling bunkhouse with wooden plank floors, friendly staff are there to greet you, take your name and direct you to your table. Drink orders are taken upon being seated: coffee, iced tea or pink lemonade served in large Mason jars. I always opt for an Arnold Palmer. Soon after the drinks comes a big bowl of tossed green salad. No matter what season it is, the greens are always fresh and crisp. I’m more of a blue cheese guy, but CDT offers two house-made salad dressings: Honey Mustard and Ranch. Our server tells us a lot of folks like to mix the two, so we did. Delicious. Next comes a hearty soup, served with a pan of sweet yeast rolls and a ramekin of butter. So light and fluffy, these rolls just make you want to have another. By the time your soup bowl is empty and you’re half-full, the entrees arrive. The CDT staff of five to seven longtime employees have their jobs down to a science. There is no waiting between courses. The chicken is the size of a football and the hefty steak the size of a catcher’s mitt. OK, perhaps a bit of hyperbole on the latter, but it’s big! Both are served with a huge baked potato and sour cream. Servers hand out clear plastic bags so diners can take home leftovers.

Cathy Shores

Floy Sitts of Bend approves of the whole roasted chicken during a recent visit to the Cowboy Dinner Tree.

And then there’s dessert, often a shortcake with seasonal fruit on top. Angel Roscoe has been working at the Cowboy Dinner Tree since she was 14. The building has housed a restaurant since 1992, she tells me. Once upon a time, it served as a checkpoint for cowboys driving cattle through the area. Angel’s parents, Don and Connie Ramage, bought the business in 2007. It’s also where Angel met her husband, Jamie, in 2005. When her parents retired in 2012, she and Jamie took over and run it with the help of their six kids. Roscoe says the Cowboy Dinner Tree can serve 150 meals a night during the high summer season. “The unique and one-of-a-kind atmosphere brings joy to our customers,” Roscoe wrote in an email. “The menu I think people like because it’s always so consistently good and they can count on that. It’s always going to be what they remembered and enjoyed through the years. We really work hard to maintain that quality. It’s a special place and beautiful area and we enjoy sharing it with everyone.” Customers have taken to sticking dollar bills to the ceilings or cramming them into nooks and crannies throughout the restaurant. The legal tender is collected now and then, and over the years, the Cowboy Dinner Tree has donated about $10,000 to local charities, according to Roscoe.

Important words gleaned from the website: • “We accept CASH ONLY. No checks, no cards, NO KIDDING!” • “Come hungry, leave happy.” • There’s a friendly CDT housecat, Otis, and even a gift shop, too! • On-site lodging is available in case diners don’t want to make the drive home in the dark. There are four cabins of different sizes, sleeping two up to nine people, renting for $100-$150 a night (the two larger cabins have an additional charge of $25-$50 per adult after the first two people). • No pets. • The website, cowboydinnertree. com, has information about additional lodging in the area.

SCREEN Mediocre Mercenaries, Murderers and Marvel Three movies, no memories

31 Courtesy of RLJE Films

Courtesy of Disney

Left, these three are completely Marvel-ous. Above, there have been better bromances than the one in “Freelance"

hen I go to the multiplex to do a double or triple feature, the movies I end up seeing are mostly based on what time everything is playing and if I can string the showings together without too much downtime in between. I’m like a conductor, but with random strangers in dark rooms. Sometimes that creates a dynamic and thematically potent double feature like “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer.” Other times it ends up like last weekend: a painful shit show ranging from deeply terrible, to inexplicably mediocre and then finally across the spectrum into fun and forgettable. If I had planned better, these would not be the movies I watched, but I’m also kinda glad that it ended up being such a slapdash smattering of schlocky garbage and dumb fun, because A) I like bad things and B) I ended up not knowing much about the movies I watched, which is always more fun than knowing too much. After girding myself with a perfect cup of coffee from Sisters Coffee Company, I started with “It’s a Wonderful Knife,” an absolutely dreadful attempt at making a comedy/horror satire of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” but without any of the things that make that movie a classic. Basically, this follows a teenage girl who saves her idyllic small town, Angel Falls, by killing a serial killer known as, you guessed it, The Angel, in the middle of his murder spree. She then wishes on

the aurora borealis that she was never born, wakes up the next morning without anyone knowing who she is anymore and then experiences what Angel Falls is like without her around. Joel McHale, Justin Long and the truly great scream queen Katherine Isabelle are fun to watch, but, aside from Long, are mostly wasted in this tonal misfire that mistakes sappy sentiment for heart, loud noises for scary moments and contextless romance for queer representation. There could be a fun movie in here somewhere, but director Tyler MacIntyre didn’t have any connection to the movie he was making, so what exists is something so dull, dumb and dreadful that, if I could have lined up something else to watch, I wouldn’t have sat through all 90 endless minutes. I then hopped from that one straight into “Freelance,” an action/comedy starring Alison Brie and John Cena. Brie is a disgraced journalist who heads to the fictional South American state of Paldonia to interview its leader, President Juan Venegas (a star-making performance from Juan Pablo Raba). Her protection is Mason Pettits (Cena) a retired Special Forces soldier who has a deep hatred of Venegas. You get it. You’ve seen this movie before when it was called “The Lost City” and it starred Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum (except that one is funny and romantic and exciting). Look, this is objectively a bad movie, but I still found it (very, very mildly)

entertaining. Brie, Cena and Raba have such great chemistry that even though most of the dialogue is tin-eared and painful, it’s still enjoyable watching these actors playing these characters and hanging out. The biggest problem (aside from the dialogue, the graceless direction, the boring villains and anticlimactic ending) is that the movie is too long (109 minutes shouldn’t feel like two and a half hours) and director Pierre Morel doesn’t make any of the action actually exciting. Morel not only directed the original “Taken” back in 2008, but also made the French action classic “District B13,” which was groundbreaking in how it combined Parkour and martial arts. “Freelance” is better as a character-driven dramedy than as an action movie, and that’s a shame. It was like Morel either didn’t have the time or budget to stage any entertaining set pieces. Either way, as (very very) mildly entertaining and as this one was, the missed opportunities far outweigh the things that work. Next was the new Marvel movie… “The Marvels,” which really wants you to watch “Captain Marvel,” “WandaVision,” “Secret Invasion” and “Ms. Marvel” so you have all the context of the plot involving mystical bangles, Quantum Bands, the war between the Skrull and the Kree Empires and the relationship between Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani).

If that sounds like a lot of homework to do before watching the newest Marvel movie, it is, but I think it still stands on its own just fine if you haven’t seen any of the backstory. Kamala, Carol and Monica are amazing together and once the movie slows down and lets the characters just hang out and breathe, “The Marvels” becomes an assured and entertaining sci-fi space adventure. If you’re burned out on Marvel, this won’t change that even a little bit, but it’s still a fun diversion and could be the beginning of an exciting new direction for the MCU. I’m a Marvel fan for life, so don’t necessarily believe me, but I think we’re leaving the disappointing section of the MCU behind and headed into some genuinely weird and interesting places (like “Deadpool 3!”). None of these movies are going to set the box office or your brain on fire. If you’re a fan of Marvel still then you should like “The Marvels,” but I would rather chew an open flame than recommend the other two. Maybe if you’re bored and stoned? Nah, even then, there are better things to subject yourself to than “It’s a Wonderful Knife” and “Freelance.” A dark and quiet room would be better. Someone else’s old vacation videos. Anything.

Ready for Snowshoe Season OUTSIDE Get Check out some reroutes and new trails in the Cascades near Bend By Damian Fagan

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / NOVEMBER 16, 2023 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Photos by Damian Fagan

here is an old adage – If you can walk, you can snowshoe. Snowshoeing is a popular activity in Central Oregon. For those wanting to get out and explore the winter wonderland in the Cascades and beyond, snowshoeing is a low-impact alternative the whole family can enjoy. Of course, the usual caveats of winter safety, dressing for the weather, knowing where to go and being aware of hazards do apply. For those who are new to snowshoeing, numerous gear shops in town offer rentals so you can try out the sport. Modern snowshoes are lightweight and have easy-to-use binding systems, so keep grandpa’s older wooden-frame snowshoes with the rawhide straps up above the mantle if you want to enjoy your outing. Other than snowshoes, a pair of poles with snow baskets helps for balance and knocking the snow off a tree branch, onto your partner’s head. Combine these with non-cotton clothing and dress in layers (you will warm up on the uphill!) to avoid overheating or getting cold. Pretty simple and you are ready to ‘shoe! Here are some suggested trails and sno-parks for snowshoers to explore in the region. Most of these trails range from 3-7 miles round trip. But don’t let the mileage fool you: snowshoeing in deep fresh snow can prove to be a challenge. Thanks to the Deschutes National Forest and volunteers from the Central Oregon Nordic Club, these trails are very well marked.

There is an old adage – If you can walk, you can snowshoe.

Virginia Meissner Sno-Park The short trail up to the Meissner shelter is a great one for beginners. It’s only about 1.5 miles long and gains about 385 feet in elevation. The shelter offers a nice destination and has some good views up toward Broken Top and out toward Smith Rock. Swampy Sno-Park Both the short and long loops here make for excellent nighttime snowshoes, as the trail icons reflect a headlamp’s beam and will help keep you on the trail. Another trail reroute leads from the sno-park to the Nordeen shelter and avoids the steep climb up to that shelter. Add the short and long loops for a total of 6 miles Edison Sno-Park This “electric” area has trails named after Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, alternating and direct current, light bulbs and more. Snowshoe and Nordic ski trails intersect often in this area, so a good map helps with navigation. Though trails lead to the Edison shelter, it is technically closed due to its condition. The AC/DC shelter is a bit higher in elevation and provides a good destination for those wanting to snowshoe a longer loop. A new, dedicated snowshoe trail leads to this shelter which parallels the ski trail. Tesla to AC/DC Shelter – 5 miles Dutchman Flat Sno-Park For those heading out to Todd Lake, Dutchman Flat or the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center, these are good jumping-off points. A new snowshoe trail from Dutchman separates snowshoers heading to the common corridor from snowmobile traffic along the Cascade Lakes Highway.

Top, Salt Creek Falls in winter. Middle, the Jeff View warming shelter. Bottom, snowshoe icons mark the trails.

Whichever way you go, the snowshoe out to Todd Lake provides excellent views of Mt. Bachelor, Todd Lake and of the massive old-growth mountain hemlock that grow in the area. Circling around Todd Lake adds another mile to the trip but is well worth the effort; just beware of thin ice along the lake edge. Todd Lake Loop – 5.5 miles Upper Three Creeks Sno-Park Though the initial part of the trail out to the Jeff View shelter is steep, the Peak View Snowshoe trail soon levels off and follows a gentle grade up to the shelter. Snowshoers get excellent views of Mount Jefferson and other peaks at the shelter. A return loop through a young stand of trees is testament to forest regeneration after a wildfire. Peak View Loop – 3.5 miles Salt Creek Falls Sno-Park Located in the Willamette National Forest, west of Lake of the Woods Resort on Highway 140, a great overnight destination with cabins and a lodge that serves meals, is the Salt Creek Sno-Park. The snowshoe down to Salt Creek Falls is about ½ mile long, but seeing the frozen falls which plunge over 200 feet over a basalt lip is a sight to behold. For those wanting a longer snowshoe, another loop trail leads from the falls to several other smaller waterfalls. Salt Creek Falls – 1.0 miles Falls Loop – 4.0 miles

So, as the snows start to build in the Cascades, get set for some snowshoeing adventures. Snowshoe trail maps can be downloaded in paper form or for the Avenza from the CONC’s website. Enjoy the trail! Central Oregon Nordic Club conordicclub.org

Follow us on Instagram @sourceweekly Hoodoo’s Wintervention Giveaway series will run over the next four months at various locations in Bend, Redmond and Sisters.

ith the mountain air getting crisper and car windshields freezing over, the pending arrival of winter is hard to ignore. While it may be time to put away the paddleboards, avid skiers and snowboarders are starting to gear up for an exhilarating time ahead on the slopes. “People from all over the world come out here,” Jen Davis of Breaking Free Media acknowledged. “Professionals come and stay, there is a ton of energy in the area for snowboarding and skiing.” To add a touch of excitement to the impending powder-filled days, Hoodoo Ski Area Resort has announced another year of its thrilling giveaway series. Ski Hoodoo’s “Wintervention Giveaway Series” will be in Redmond at General Duffy’s Annex on Tuesday, Nov. 28 at 6pm. Such giveaway events not only reward loyal patrons but also serve as a way to introduce new individuals to the joys of skiing and snowboarding. “We encourage people who are new or are looking for a new vibe. We’re inviting you to come play in the snow with us!” Davis exclaimed. The goal of the giveaway is to help foster a sense of community and fuel the area’s passion for winter sports. Prizes will include lift tickets, snow gear, skis, snowboards and much more. In recent years, Hoodoo has proudly participated in various giveaways and community- building events, even setting up scholarships with the Boys and Girls Club for children in the local area. However, after doubling the amount of funds raised from last year, the ski resort has decided to up the ante with its most generous giveaway ever. “We just want to celebrate snow, celebrate the industry and show how much appreciation we have for those who have supported us. We’re giving back,” said Davis. Founded in 1938, Hoodoo has always focused on a commitment to providing an enjoyable experience for the entire family. “The experience here is untouchable,” Davis said. “We have this incredible family atmosphere. Hoodoo allows us to be individuals; it's not a stuffy hill.” This giveaway initiative, presented by Volvo Cars of Bend, aligns with Hoodoo's commitment to making winter sports accessible to everyone. Hoodoo’s team hopes that by removing barriers and offering a glimpse at mountain magic, that the giveaway will inspire a new generation of snow enthusiasts and reignite the passion of those who might be on hiatus. “It can be intimidating, and it can be expensive,” said Davis. “Going to Hoodoo, you can bring your family and still have it be incredibly enjoyable and affordable — we invite that first-timer energy. We thrive off of encouraging people and having fun,” Davis said. Hoodoo Ski will be giving away $100,00. in prizes over the course of the entire series with the final event scheduled for February of next year.

Bjork is a triple Scorpio, with sun, moon, and ascendant in your sign. Neptune is there, too, giving her even more Scorpionic intensity. It’s not surprising that she describes her daily practice like this: "I have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up and kill it in the evening." In another quote, she places greater emphasis on the rebirth: "To wake up in the morning and actually find the day exciting is the biggest victory you can have." In accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to exalt and celebrate the post-resurrection aspects of your life's work. It's time for you to shine and sparkle and shimmer and bedazzle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I prophesy that what has been lost will be found. What was last may not catapult all the way into the first spot, but it might— and will at least be close to the first. Here are more zingers for you as you move into the climactic stages of the Season of Turnarounds and Switcheroos: A difficult test will boost your intelligence; a rut will be disrupted, freeing you to find a smooth new groove; an unsettling twist will ultimately bring you delightful support. To get the best out of the upcoming challenges, Sagittarius, welcome them as opportunities to expand your understanding of how the world works. Brain based interventions for processing psychological trauma. Psychotherapy for teens and adults 14+. Offices in downtown Bend, OR. OHP, Pacific Source, Providence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Many cultures

throughout history have staged rites of passage to mark the transformation from childhood to puberty. In ancient Greece, for example, kids formally relinquished their toys, symbolizing the intention to move into a new phase of their destinies. In accordance with astrological omens, I want to tweak this custom for your use, Capricorn. I propose that you embrace your second childhood. Fantasize about how you might refurbish your innocence, curiosity, playfulness, and spontaneous joy. Then select an object that embodies a burdensome or unpleasant aspect of adulthood. Discard it. Find an object that signifies the fresh young spirit you’d like to awaken within you. Kiss it, sing to it, and keep it in a prominent place.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): For advice about money, I talk with a banker who sometimes analyzes financial trends using Tarot cards. To keep abreast of politics on the ground level, I consult with a courtesan who has a Ph.D. in political science and cultivates intimate relations with governmental leaders. For guidance about rowdy ethics and etiquette, I seek input from an activist singer in an all-women punk band. How about you, Aquarius? Now is a favorable time to take an inventory of your posse of teachers, helpers, and counselors. Make sure it’s serving you well and providing maximum inspiration and support. Hot tip: It may be time to add a new facilitator or two to your entourage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Now and then, you glide through a phase I describe as Freedom from Cosmic Compulsion. During these grace periods, fate has a reduced role in shaping your destiny. Your past doesn’t have its typical power to limit you or entrance you. According to my astrological analysis, you are now enjoying such a chapter. That’s why I predict that an infertile status quo will soon crumble. A boring, inflexible rule will become irrelevant. These and other breakthrough developments will give you extra leeway to innovate and invent. You will have a big, bright emptiness to work and play around in.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In accordance with astrological omens, I would love you to experiment with blending the sacred and mundane. Bring your deep self into the daily routine and imbue ordinary rhythms with tender care. Here are a few fun rituals to get you in the groove: 1. Say prayers or chant ecstatic poems while you’re shopping. 2. Build a shrine in a parking lot. 3. Stir up an inspired epiphany while doing housework. 4. If you find yourself in a confusing or awkward situ-

ation, dance like a holy person to conjure a blessing. 5. Commune with the Divine Creator during crazy-good sex.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I’ve met many

people who feel their love lives are jinxed. Often, they believe this nonsense because a creepy fortune-teller declared they will forever be denied a satisfying intimate relationship. I hate that! Any astrologer who delivers such crippling bewitchments should be outed as a charlatan. The good news for you, Taurus, is that you are in a grace period for all matters regarding romance, intimacy, and togetherness. If you have ever worried there is a curse, obstruction, or bad habit inhibiting your love life, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to free yourself from it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini comedian

Drew Carey says, "If I didn’t run from my fears, I wouldn’t get any exercise at all." Let's discuss his approach in relation to you. After analyzing the astrological omens, I believe that as 2023 draws to a close and 2024 unfolds, you will feel less and less motivated to run from your fears. In part, that's because you will face them with more courage and poise; they won't have the same power over you. In addition, I suspect your fears will become objectively less scary. They will be less likely to come to pass. More and more, your fine mind will see how they trick you into imagining they're more threatening than they truly are. Congratulations in advance, Gemini!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I would love to see you

intensify your devotion to your masterpiece—however you understand “masterpiece.” It could be a work of art or an innovation in your job or business. It could be a new baby, an adopted pet, a redefinition of what family means, or an invigorated community. Might even be a beautiful alliance or enhanced connection with the divine or a refinement of the best gift you give the world. Life will conspire to help you in unexpected ways during the coming months if you rededicate yourself to this treasure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Dear Sun, our one and only star: We love you and appreciate you! It’s amazing that you consume five million tons of yourself every second to generate the colossal energy you send in our direction. Thank you, beloved Sun! Is it OK with you if we think of you as a god? You are a superpowered genius of nourishment! And by the way, do you know who adores you the best? I’ll tell you: the Leo people here on Earth. They comprehend your grandeur and majesty better than anyone else. Would you consider giving them extra rewards in the coming weeks? They need and deserve a massive delivery of your bounty. Please fill them up with even more charisma, personal magnetism, vitality, and generosity of spirit than usual. I promise they will use it wisely. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo musician and

actor Shirley Manson has a message for you. She testifies, "I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool." This will be especially helpful and inspirational counsel for you in the coming months, dear Virgo. The wish to appear chic or trendy or hip should be so far down on your list of priorities that it drops off the list entirely. Your assignment is to be passionately devoted to your deepest truths, unique desires, and imaginative experiments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you’re given a choice to advocate for either a dull, mediocre truth or a beautiful, invigorating truth, give your love to the latter. If you wonder whether you should ask a polite question that engenders harmony or a provocative question that pries loose agendas that have been half hidden, opt for the latter. If you feel nostalgic about an old tradition that stirs up little passion or fresh insight, let it go. Instead, dream up a new tradition that moves you emotionally and excites your mind.

THE MEDICINE CABINET WITHIN HOLISTIC MEDICINE AND YOUR POWER TO BE WELL By Joshua Phillips, ND

ou know that friend or family member who is endlessly bubbly and upbeat, seemingly living life without a care in the world? Conversely, you can probably think of more friends and family who seem to be complaining and grumbling about everything under the sun — whether it be about their personal lives, politics or world events. There are many ways to move through life, and regardless of one’s personal circumstances, we do have degrees of choice for how we hold and feel about our experiences, and what we see going on in the world around us. Even when faced with adversity, it is possible to find a mental stance where we not only address negativity authentically, but also lean into an attitude of appreciation and joy. There has been a great deal of study on the subject of gratitude, and how the experience of feeling and expressing appreciation impacts our quality of life, and even our health. Neuropsychologists and scientists have begun to uncover the link between our feelings and thoughts and their impact on our brains and physiology, and it appears that through practice, this can be a self-fulfilling process. There is an emerging theme in research which is that “behavior changes biology.” One lens to look at this through is that of neurochemistry, and in studies that have been conducted, it appears that feeling and expressing gratitude is one important way to positively influence levels of dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin in our brains and bodies. These are part of our body’s feel-good chemistry and can help us be more positive and hopeful about our lives, and life in general. This mental/emotional stance also contributes to a decrease in stress hormones and a balanced nervous system, and because of what is understood to be a “plasticity” of the brain and nervous system, we essentially have an opportunity, through expressing gratitude, to begin to wire ourselves for greater joy and positivity. It won’t come as any surprise then, that the feeling and expression of gratitude has tremendous impacts on our mental, emotional and physical health. Of the many studies that have been conducted, we’ve learned that those practicing gratitude have lower levels of depression and anxiety, report higher levels of self-esteem, are more resilient to difficulty and struggle and are in general more hopeful and optimistic.

Furthermore, appreciation and gratitude also help individuals cultivate patience, as well as being more likely to forgive and move on from difficult events. Health benefits for those who adopt a stance of gratitude are also varied and many. Gratitude has been shown to be consistent with lower blood pressure and overall improved cardiovascular health. Improved energy and sleep, especially for those who write in a “gratitude journal” before bed, can be expected. Those in gratitude studies report decreased levels of chronic pain, and lab results associated with these studies reveal improved blood sugar regulation, decreased biomarkers for inflammation and overall improved immune system function. The list goes on and on. While I would never advocate for ignoring feelings of sadness, stress or anxiety, I do believe that while we address the roots of these emotions, we can also begin a regular practice of gratitude. Furthermore, sharing feelings of appreciation with those around us feeds our own feelings of positivity as well as bringing a little more love and kindness to those around us. Based on the myriad of research that exists on the topic, here is a list of ideas to help grow your internal experience of gratitude (I’m sure you can think of more): • Spend some time thinking about what you have (to contrast the thoughts of what you don’t have) • Celebrate minor accomplishments • Start a gratitude journal, and jot down positive experiences and things you are thankful for • Share with those around you some things you like and appreciate about them • Write thank you letters or notes — shoot for one every week • Practice random acts of kindness • Volunteer • Smile more • Consistency is the key—just like exercise, diet, meditation, prayer, etc.—the more you create habit here, the more you will reap the benefits and the more you will pay it forward, giving others reasons to experience gratitude themselves —Joshua Phillips, ND, is the director at Hawthorn Healing Arts Center in Bend.

Answering readers’ questions is always moving, and home values are very much impacted by many external factors, so getting it exactly right is not always an exact science. Q: I keep hearing about Burnett v. National Association of Realtors in an antitrust lawsuit. What gives? A: Basically, a jury in Missouri found that NAR, Keller Williams and HomeServices of America were guilty of colluding to keep commissions high or “price fixing” and will have to pay $1.78 billion with the potential for that amount to grow to over $5 billion. How will this impact Oregon? I don’t want to speculate, but I would bet that buyers’ agency agreements will become a lot more standard, as these define the agency relationship and explain how buyers’ agents are paid. For those that think this will be the end for buyers’ agents, I doubt it. For years now, Oregon Real Estate Forms Buyer Representation Agreement has had the ability for agents to write in a commission or fee to be paid by the buyer, “if the seller agrees to pay the agent any fee, then said fee shall be credited against any client’s obligation.” An agent could write in a 3% fee as a buyer’s agent and if the seller only offered 1% for a buyer’s agent, a buyer themselves could be on the hook for an additional 2%. This is an opportunity for agents to explain “how we get paid” to our clients and should allow for clients to ask questions and have the transaction be as transparent as possible.

Q: What are the most exclusive neighborhoods in Bend? A: That depends so much on the individuals. Some are exclusive due to the price, while others are exclusive due to other factors, for example, there are only so many cute little bungalows on a large lot that are riverfront, while others feel like maybe exclusivity is more about controlled access, places like Pronghorn that have a gate and an actual “gatekeeper.” Q: How do brokers establish “list price?” A: The first thing I do is inspect the property along with a full property report and maps from dial.deschutes. org. I look at permits that have been pulled, review the maps to verify property lines and easements. I like to tour the property to inspect the overall quality of the features and finishes, any upgrades, along with keeping an eye out for potential problems. I rely on home inspectors for more in-depth information, but with years of experience, you learn to spot potential problems or areas that need additional inspection. I often recommend a pre inspection prior to listing. By knowing and addressing issues, the seller is less likely to get nickel and dimed during the inspection period and negotiation. Next, I look at comparable properties nearby that have sold in the last 90 days, preferably, with comparable homes being similar interior and lot square footage with the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The final factor is the overall market conditions; are prices trending up or down? How desirable is the property being listed? What type of buyer(s) are looking for properties like that? Unfortunately, the market
