Let’s kick this holiday season off right now, shall we?

By the time you read this, the perennial debate about whether it’s proper to put up the tree and lights BEFORE Thursday or after will nearly be behind us, as, for purists, the official holiday-season trigger of Thanksgiving will be here. But whatever your take on that debate, this week is also Shop Small Saturday, and our annual Shop Local issue! Look inside for our roundup of local holiday markets, our Top Shops featuring great stuff from local retailers and in Culture, a whole slew of current book recommendations to shop for (locally, of course).

You may also notice a new item on page 6 this week, called The Warmup. It’s our effort to distill some of the news into a more easily digestible format. Use it to either get you “warmed up” for more news ahead, or just peruse The Warmup all alone to let you get in, get your news and get out while your coffee is still hot.

I always welcome your feedback about this and any aspect of our publication – email me at editor@bendsource.com with your thoughts. Now, let’s kick this holiday season into gear!

NEW YEAR”S EVE AT

The Audacity of the Oregon GOP Calling Out Teacher Walkouts

M

embers of the Oregon GOP are calling it a “dangerous precedent” — this notion of teachers, paid to do a job, walking out in protest.

Considering this talk of a “dangerous precedent” is coming from the members of the party that this year convened the longest-ever legislative walkout in Oregon history, we are amused.

Some Republican members of the Oregon legislature plan to introduce legislation aimed at barring teachers from taking part in strikes during school days. Rep. Jamie Cate (R-OR11) told the Oregon Capital Chronicle that the teachers’ effort to increase pay and address dangerous deferred maintenance in Portland Public Schools involves “far-left activists repeatedly putting politics first and students last.”

Another unpleasant irony of this situation is that this is the same party that’s been unabashed in its support of “school choice,” which erodes the public school system in favor of issuing public dollars to private and religious schools – schools that, by and large, pay teachers far less than public school teachers earn.

As of last year, Oregon public school teachers ranked #13 among states in teacher pay, earning an average of $70,402, according to 2021-22 school year data from the National Education Association. This in a state where this year, the cost of housing is 41% higher than the national average, where transportation costs are 17% higher and groceries are 7% higher, according to the 2023 Cost of Living Index from the Council for Community and Economic Research. Aiming for a level of pay that helps public school employees weather these costs is not political.

Nationally, elementary and secondary public-school teachers earned

an average of $62,190 in 2022, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, while their private-school counterparts earned $48,380. If higher pay attracts more talent, it would seem that public schools still have an edge – and a powerful tool in the toolbox of our hard-working educators is the right to collective bargaining. The fact that members of the Oregon GOP hope to claw back the rights of teachers to advocate for themselves tells a lot about where their priorities lie – and we don’t wager it’s actually with students and families.

What we are seeing now is yet another negative effect of legislative walkouts. When your party spends the better part of a legislative session – and portions of others – not showing up for work, it makes it difficult to weigh in with any credibility about the organized and planned walkouts of another sector of workers.

We have no doubt that the present situation for parents and families in Portland Public Schools is dire. If local negotiations between Bend-La Pine Schools and Bend Education Association continue to drag out, this could be the reality for local families, as well. As always, the families least able to weather the disruptions to work, routines and educational attainment will be the low-income families; those led by a single adult and those with learning or other challenges. Public schools are uniquely set up to support these families, and when that support system is disrupted, it had better be for a good reason.

When we compare the reasons for a district-wide educator walkout versus the reasons given by the Oregon GOP for not showing up to work, we’ll say the teachers offer far better reasons.

LET’S PROTECT OWYHEE CANYONLANDS AS A NATIONAL MONUMENT

DRONES AND CIVIL SOCIETY I never expected to write a letter about drones, and certainly not about the penalties that a hypothetical person might face if they, in a fit of passion, took action to down the drone from the sky. Well, don’t do it! Sure, you can think about it (so far), but do not, I repeat DO NOT, take action. As it turns out, drones are protected by federal law. Yes, the

feds can track you down and make your life miserable.

This letter is intended as a helpful heads up. Imagine a hypothetical person peacefully paddling the Deschutes River along a reach of this nationally designated Wild and Scenic River where this person had paddled for years. At one particularly peaceful point, while blissing out in a tranquil scene of changing aspens, a noisy drone appears and buzzes around like some gargantuan mosquito, perhaps capturing photos of the same scene I... I mean the hypothetical person... was enjoying. It is easy to imagine some person in a lounge chair, or some big SUV, joyfully managing the drone joy stick to get that perfect shot.

Good on ya! Yay technology! Hope you had your headphones on, listening to something amazing on Spotify.

In the future, please know that the hypothetical person will be glaring at your device, hopeful for some respite, and maybe changes to laws that enable such intrusions. Meanwhile, also know they are really hopeful that some random, very large and resilient raptor will take that drone right out the sky!

PERPLEXED: UNOCCUPIED BEDS AT BETHLEHEM INN IN REDMOND RE: LETTERS, 11/16 It can seem like the “unhoused don’t want to make change and be accountable.” “Unhoused” is a generalization; some don’t want services while others do ( just like the housed population).

Whether it’s emergency shelter, transitional-to-permanent housing or low and high-barrier options, housing represents only one element amid a vast intersection of other issues, like addictions and poverty.

Addiction behaviors attempt to medicate symptoms of personal, collective and intergenerational trauma. Trauma researchers and experts* understand trauma as physiological dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system. This system drives an astonishing array of non-volitional functions, from how well our guts work to the formation of our

views of self, others and the world.

Unhoused folks I’ve spoken with have trauma histories, and often, addictions. Housed or unhoused, in recovery treatment they immediately feel pain and loss that they medicated with substances and/or activities. Add to that obstacles and challenges unhoused folks face that those of us who haven’t walked in their shoes cannot fathom.

We’re flummoxed and divided about our unhoused community. There’s no simple fix for complex living systems (humans, ecosystems, organizations, etc.), wherein every part is exquisitely interconnected and always evolving.

That said, we could transform the conversation by becoming a more trauma-informed community, and by learning to hold accountability alongside compassionate understanding. Imagine how creative, inclusive and innovative our search for solutions could be. * Five trauma-informed teachers/ authors: Stephen Porges, Deb Dana, Peter Levine, Thomas Hubl and Gabor Mate.

GRATITUDE TO THE WAMPANOAG PEOPLE I want to express my gratitude to the Wampanoag people for caring for my ancestors who arrived on the Mayflower in 1620. My family wouldn’t have survived without their help. According to the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, there may be as many as 10 million living descendants in the United States. Many of us in Central

Oregon may owe our existence to the generosity and kindness of the Indigenous people we met when we arrived from other places.

I often think about meaningful ways I can give back to the Wampanoag and other Indigenous First Nations. This year I’m donating to the Native Land Conservancy, a nonprofit land conservation group formed by members of the Wampanoag nation in 2012. This modest circle of people are preserving and restoring the very places that our collective ancestors farmed, gathered, hunted and fished. Supporting their work seems like a loving way to celebrate the Thanksgiving season.

Thank you Source Weekly for your recent editorial, “After His Bluster About the Owyhee, Rep. Bentz Should Probably Talk to his Compatriots in the Senate More Often.” I applaud U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley working with many local ranchers and environmentalists to create Malheur County Empowerment for the Owyhee Act, introduced last June – Senate Bill 1890 – to protect the Owyhee Canyonlands.

Congressman Cliff Bentz’s efforts to block Owyhee Canyonlands compromise deeply disappointed me. Like the Weekly Source wrote, Sens. Wyden and Merkley “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.”

For 25 years, I was a seasonal park ranger at Crater Lake National Park, America’s deepest lake. It is one of the cleanest and clearest bodies of water in the world. Thank goodness it is a protected natural area since it became a national park in 1902. Like Crater Lake, Owyhee is another sacred place in Oregon that deserves wilderness protection.

It is a place that should be protected and available to use for all of us.

Owyhee Canyonlands supports a rich diversity of species and habitats, contains cultural resources significant for many communities, and offers exceptional recreational opportunities. It is the largest conservation opportunity in the American West. It is a place that all Oregonians would want to protect as a national monument.

At least three La Pine High School students were transported to St. Charles Medical Center on Wednesday morning, Nov. 15, with non-life threatening injuries after a school bus accident.

The bus, transporting nine students and a teacher from La Pine High School to a welding competition in Albany, slid off the road and struck a tree after hitting ice on the Crescent Cutoff Road between Highway 97 and Highway 58, according to Scott Maben, director of communications at Bend-La Pine Schools, in a press release.

The bus driver and the teacher were not injured. “The school district has support staff at La Pine High School to assist any students or staff who may need help today,” read a statement from the press release.

Clarifications Proposed for Bend’s Camping Code

In regional news this week, Oregon’s first tribal affairs director is Shana McConnville Radford of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, reports the Oregon Capital Chronicle. Gov. Tina Kotek created the role in hopes of fostering collaboration and cooperation between the governments of the nine Oregon-based tribes and the state and federal governments.

Meanwhile, crab lovers will have to wait a while for a fresh catch. Oregon's commercial Dungeness crab season, originally slated to open Dec. 1, is delayed because of a low “meat yield” in some areas, OPB reported.

And over in John Day, a group of former and current city employees has submitted the signatures needed to launch a recall election for Mayor Heather Rookstool, OPB reported. Some employees say the mayor has “violated state laws and city rules several times in the last year.”

The amendment would apply the requirement to all vehicles in Bend, whether someone is living in it or not, and specify the distance people need to move them – 750-feet, which equates to about two city blocks.

T

he City of Bend revisited its camping code at a Nov. 15 meeting of the Bend City Council, providing data, identifying trends and offering up suggestions for the recently implemented city code regulating, “unsanctioned camping on City rights-of-way.” Among the items discussed at the meeting, Sherri Meisel, health and safety compliance coordinator with the City of Bend, suggested a future code amendment for consideration in 2024, which would apply the requirement for all vehicles citywide to move 750 feet every three business days.

Bend City Council adopted the camping code into the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Development Code in May 2022, regulating when, where and how camping can occur in the City of Bend, imposing regulations on the use of the City’s public rights-of-way. City officials began enforcing the code in March 2023.

The proposed amendment was brought up to help clarify the requirements regarding how far people need to move their vehicles and where it applies in the City. The amendment would apply the requirement to all vehicles in Bend, whether someone is living in it or not, and specify the distance people need to move them

– 750-feet, which equates to about two city blocks. The City’s traffic code already restricts vehicles to be parked on a city street for no longer than 72 hours. While that code has been in place for some time, people sleeping in vehicles reported confusion about the maximum length of stay and how far a vehicle needed to move, since those items were not detailed in the initial version of the camping code.

During the Nov. 15 meeting, the compliance coordinator, Meisel, presented the City Council with data on camping code enforcement, showing the number of monthly cases opened, notices issued, citizen service requests and abandoned vehicle and parking complaint calls for service from March to October.

The total number of cases, which are opened when a location of an encampment is identified, for both tents and vehicles, was 451 for that eight-month period. The numbers showed a large jump for June in all sections of data, when the Hunnell Road encampment removal was looming.

The data highlighted a few trends since the enforcement of the camping code, noting fewer longer-term, large tent encampments and the ability to keep campsite footprints smaller and cleaner.

Eight projects in Central Oregon received funding to create sustainable experiences for the community

By Julianna LaFollette

T

ourism tax dollars are again at work providing funds for local parks, arts and other projects.

On Nov. 14, the Bend Sustainability Fund awarded grants to eight local projects, giving out $700,000 in total.

The grant winners, receiving funds ranging from $16,582 to $300,000, will carry out local, sustainable experiences that have garnered community support and will improve tourism.

Since its conception in 2021, the Bend Sustainability Fund, a Visit Bend project, has awarded nearly $3 million to 25 projects. The funding for these projects comes out of short-term lodging tax dollars collected in the city of Bend. When visitors travel to Bend and stay in a hotel, Airbnb, VRBO or an RV park, 65% of the transient room tax collected from their stay goes to the City of Bend’s general fund and the other 35% goes to Visit Bend, according to Serena Gordon, sustainability director for Visit Bend.

Once the money is split up, the Sustainability Fund gets 15% of Visit Bend’s budget, Gordon said, to help with the economic vitality of Bend as a destination.

The projects that receive funding are required to support tourism, have a useful life of 10 years or more and have grassroots community support.

“It's really important because I believe that if we can create a place where people love to live, it will also be a place where people want to visit,” said Gordon.

After the advisory council, made up of 14 board members, as well as five land manager liaisons, reviewed the several projects and presented a recommended funding scenario, the projects were put on a community ballot, giving locals a chance to chime in.

The board of directors then voted and approved the funding recommendation on Nov. 14. Grants for the projects came out to a total of $691,672.

Projects A Bend Park and Recreation District project received the highest grant out of the eight recipients. According to the project details, the $300,000 will help in constructing the Miller’s Landing Access and Restoration Project, an updated Deschutes River access point, planned to increase accessibility.

Other amounts were given to projects increasing outdoor accessibility

and recreation, including $20,000 for improved access and route enhancement at Smith Rock State Park, $69,850 for habitat conservation project at Lower Fall River and $69,890 for improvements to Bend BMX, which will include the construction of a covered awning structure. The Bend Endurance Academy is also able to complete its new indoor climbing facility with the $16,582 it received from the BSF. Organizations in the arts category were also awarded grants to help fund important projects. BSF awarded Discovery West $100,000 to install three art “discovery” projects, according to the Bend Sustainability Fund’s website, “engaging indigenous female

artists and incorporating educational material.”

Two local theatres will make improvements with the funds they received. The Tower Theatre received $59,500 to carry out repairs and refurbishments, including the addition of size-inclusive and ADA seating, while Cascades Theatre Company received $55,850 for the installation of new seating, increased accessibility and overall improvements.

“We really need to look at our visitors and our residents as partners in keeping Bend a vibrant, wonderful place to spend time, so if we can use short term lodging dollars to reinvest into this community, everybody wins,” said Gordon.

he Lighthouse, a care and support facility for people experiencing houselessness in Bend, temporarily moved into a new location to allow access to daytime services during a renovation project. The Lighthouse Navigation Center moved its services down the street into the old Blue Dog RV facility along Franklin Avenue and Second Street, offering services daily from 7am to 5pm.

The Lighthouse is run by local nonprofit Shepherd’s House Ministries. In September, Shepherd’s House announced it was remodeling The Lighthouse facility, transforming the former open-concept thrift store into a fully functional navigation center, offering showers, access to laundry, a commercial kitchen and larger, updated bathrooms.

Shepherd’s House partnered with the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council and the City of Bend to utilize this new, temporary facility.

According to Evan Hendrix, director of navigation services, construction on The Lighthouse started on Monday, Sept. 20 and is expected to take 14 months. The Lighthouse will continue to offer overnight shelter but has reduced its capacity from 100 beds down to 50. This past winter, The Lighthouse saw about 125 people per night on average, according to Hendrix.

Shepherd’s House also partnered with the Franklin Avenue shelter, the former Rainbow Motel, in September, which recently amended its contract to allow for more capacity, giving people other opportunities for overnight shelters. In previous reporting from the Source, Hendrix estimated that the Franklin shelter could allow Shepherd’s House to relocate 40-45 individuals.

veryone knows what it means to shop local, but for small business owners, the act of buying at local businesses is becoming more and more essential. As Bend and Central Oregon grows, so do the number of businesses and rent prices, making owning and keeping a small business running that much harder.

Peter Askew, owner of local game store, Modern Games, opened up shop in the Box Factory a little over a year ago. “For a lot of small businesses, they run on really small margins and if locals don’t spend their dollars at those small businesses, pretty soon that small business no longer exists,” he said.

Angela Salido, the owner of Outside In, a local retail store in downtown Bend, finds buying local important for many reasons. For her, it keeps the area vibrant and unique. “I'm always so concerned that if we don't shop local, we're just going to turn up like every other town – everything's the same.”

Shopping locally is good for both store owners and the local economy.

It’s especially important when looking at how much businesses in Bend have changed and grown over the years.

Between 2001 and 2022, the number of businesses in Bend increased by 125%, with 5,805 businesses in 2001 and around 13,000 in 2022. Bend’s population in 2001 was around 54,000 and increased by about 85% through 2021 with an estimated population of 102,000, according to U.S. Census data.

“What this indicates is that there is sustained economic activity right now, which is pretty strong and robust,” said Nicole Ramos, a regional economist for the Oregon Employment Department.

Just between 2019 and 2022, Bend saw a 20% growth in businesses.

“Interestingly, doing business in Bend just gets harder and harder and harder,” said Salido. “It's always been a challenge to be a locally owned business, but as these big brands are targeting Bend as this place to come in and make money, it's just more competition.”

“Growth reflects a positive outlook for the local economy in Central Oregon, because it really highlights the region's potential for sustained economic development and entrepreneurial activity,” said Ramos. The growth in businesses, according to Ramos, is across industries. However, this can represent increased competition for businesses in the area.

When people think of small businesses, Askew of Modern Games said, most people believe other local shops are the biggest competition. Askew sees otherwise, noting that big box stores are taking customers from smaller businesses in the area, including his own.

“Our biggest competitor is Walmart, and that’s not something that a ton of people really internalize for small businesses,” said Askew. “Your main competitor isn't usually someone in your town, it’s Jeff Bezos.”

Salido opened Outside In in 2013.

While a lot has changed since then, she’s increasingly noticed the problems with big corporations moving in and taking business. “Interestingly, doing business in Bend just gets harder and harder and harder,” she said. “It's always been a challenge to be a locally owned business, but as these big brands are targeting Bend as this place to come

in and make money, it's just more competition.”

Bigger, established retailers like Target, Walmart or Amazon are typically able to sell products for less money or offer discounts that local businesses just can’t swing. “It's impacted our sales, that's become more and more of a challenge,” said Salido.

Askew with Modern Games sees the same issues. “So, it does cost a little more here, but there's a reason for that and we think it's worth it for the extra benefits you get,” said Askew. “Those dollars stay in our community right there – they're paying staff, they're paying their leases. When you buy something on Amazon, that money leaves our community, it never comes back.”

Additionally, Askew finds that big box stores can’t offer the care and knowledge that local businesses provide to customers.

While owning a business is tough, both Askew and Salido find that the community of Bend helps them stay afloat in an ever-changing economy.

“The community of Bend does value locally owned businesses, they do value our community and they do value shopping somewhere that's uniquely curated,” said Salido.

Formerly located in Bend, a new iteration of an area printmaking collective plans its first art sale in Sisters

By Nicole Vulcan Carolyn Platt holds up a recent print she created at Studio 6000.

T

Barbara Kennedy with two of her prints.

his week’s “Shop Local” cover

by Sage Flannery began its life inside a studio in Sisters, where the Studio 6000 printmakers’ collective has set up shop since 2019.

This weekend, on Nov. 25, the members of that collective will hold their first-ever public art sale and show, offering one more opportunity for people to “shop local” and buy local art for the holidays.

Those familiar with the players in the local art world may remember the Bend Art Center and Atelier 6000, the printmaking and book arts collective founded by the late Patricia Clark that occupied space in the Box Factory in Bend. That nonprofit organization dissolved in 2019, and with rents rising across Bend and no place to store the printmaking and other equipment that occupied A6’s space, a group of eight local artists, including Clark, banded together and moved operations to a light-filled studio space on the north side of Sisters.

They called the new venture Studio 6000, in a nod to the former A6, said collective member Carolyn Platt, a former English language and art teacher turned printmaker. Starting with eight members, Studio 6000 is now represented by 14 artists. But that number no longer includes Clark, the founder of A6, who passed away in 2021.

“A few of Pat’s pieces are still here with us,” Platt told the Source Weekly of her mentor and friend.

Of printmaking, Platt said she’s been drawn to the medium due to the surprises it presents. “It’s a little bit like a potter opening a kiln,” she said. “You never know what you’re going to see.”

“It’s a little bit like a potter opening a kiln.

You never know what you’re going to see.”

—Carolyn Platt During a visit to Studio 6000, Platt and fellow collective member Barbara Kennedy demonstrated some of the magic that goes into printmaking – describing the endless hours involved in carving wood for a woodcut print, as Platt often does, or applying the various layers for a monotype topped with layers of pastel, as Kennedy often does. It was a sliver of time graciously endowed to this reporter, given the fact that their first art show and sale was less than a week away. (Check out my video from the visit online and on our social media channels.)

The Studio 6000 Open House and Sale takes place Saturday, Nov. 25 from 10am to 3pm at the studio at 211 East Sun Ranch Drive, #103 in Sisters (across the parking lot from Fika Sisters Coffee). Twelve artists from the collective will offer prints and mixed media pieces and will also offer printmaking demos. Additionally, works by Patricia Clark will be on display and for sale.

A list of amazing music that can help keep you smiling during this dark-at-5pm winter weather

By Armando Borrego Album Covers from Apple Music

Corrine Bailey Rae won a Grammy award in 2012 for her version of “Is This Love,” by Bob Marley.

Almost Monday is an alternative/indie three-piece band that creatively emerged amid the pandemic.

Ice Cube’s album “The Predator” was released in 1992, “It was a Good Day” was the second single released off the album.

The Rolling Stones’ album, “Some Girls,” is often credited as the band’s comeback album infusing the disco-style of the time with signature blues sound.

Bobby Caldwell's 1978 self-titled album went double platinum in its debut.

Anderson .Paak’s album, “Malibu,” is his third solo studio project.

Os Tincoās still performs today, though rarely outside of Brazil.

Take a walk, press play and suddenly, you’re on the coast and even if it’s raining, I promise the weather will be perfect.

W

ith the clouds looming over Bend, I’ve found that my appreciation for moments of sunshine has increased exponentially since my arrival here. It can be a little too easy to feel disheartened or overwhelmed by the early sunsets; I promise you, you’re not alone. However, even with the colder weather and darker evenings, I still enjoy heading outside and getting a walk or run in to end the day. I’ll often see Bendites bundled up going for jogs, dodging the 5 o’clock traffic off Wall Street.

To help kill that traffic-jam time, or battle off those pesky seasonally affected emotions, here are some songs that sound like sunshine spilling out of headphones and speakers.

What You Won’t Do For Love – Bobby Caldwell Bobby Caldwell’s 1978 souljazz hit found a whole new audience by slinking its way into the background of social media videos and even inspiring modern covers from Swedish superstar Snoh Aalegra. This is the song to suggest when someone asks, “You like jazz?” With this on my rotation heavily, I suggest using a quality pair of headphones and cranking the volume to appreciate the bass line.

Beast of BurdenThe Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones have long been a testament to the lasting effects rock ‘n’ roll can have throughout the world. With “Beast of Burden,” from the 1978 album “Some Girls,” the band howls on the effects unrequited love can have on a lovesick heart.

The warmth from Keith Richard’s driving guitar riff swings as penultimate front-man Mick Jagger begs, well, everyone to love him. This classic ‘70s rock song is my go-to good mood song every Monday morning.

Cough Drops- Almost Monday San Diego trio Almost Monday formed in 2015, but it’s the 2022 single “Cough Drops” that virtually shoved its way up to the top of my Top-25-played just in time for this article. I’m a sucker for steady hard-hitting drums and catchy choruses, and this song has both. The fried-vocal dances between simple chords before the rhythm section kicks the door down on the song, introducing an alternative sound and some of the best cross-sensory lyricism I have ever heard.

It was a Good Day- Ice Cube The iconic N.W.A rapper/producer delivers this track, ringing in at an amazing 4 minutes and 20 seconds long, off his third solo album, “The Predator,” from 1992. Known for his biting free-style capabilities and ruthless approach to diss tracks, Ice Cube shows that between the dirty crooks and gangin’ we’re all just trying to smile and that nothing’s better than when it's all going your way.

Put Your Records OnCorrine Bailey Rae English singer/songwriter Corrine Bailey Rae burst onto the music scene with her 2006 self-titled debut ep. Her hit single, “Put Your Records On,” radiates precisely the languid energy and warm-hued soulful sound that can uplift the mind from even the earliest sunset.

Cordeiro de Nana - Os Tincoas It can be easy to forget that the tea-shade ‘70s happened elsewhere than just America.

This island-vibe pop encapsulates the best of Brazilian influence at the height of the ‘70s.

Soft-string guitars and rhythmic use of drumming ushers in an almost ritualistic sound of spiritual chants. Os Tincoās continues to perform today, with trademark songs about mystical beings and Yoruba Mythology.

Take a walk, press play and suddenly, you’re on the coast and even if it’s raining, I promise the weather will be perfect.

Come Down – Anderson .Paak Before Anderson .Paak was introduced as the lightning-smiled singer holding the drumbeat and wearing Ike-Turner wigs in power-duo Silk Sonic, the drummer-singer-songwriter released his third studio project, “Malibu,” a 2016 album full of quick-witted rhymes and an expressive perspective on soul, R-n’B and roots music set against today’s zeitgeist. “Come Down” is the 13th of 16 songs on the album’s track list, making it an all-too-often skipped jam. Listening to this one, you'll walk a couple inches taller and with a little more swagger. Enjoy his NPR Tiny Desk Concert, and you’ll feel like you can run through walls.

his Domino Room music event on Saturday, Dec. 2, 7pm will feature an explosive lineup of amazing music from local bands Fractal and Watkins Glen to help spread awareness and raise funds for the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council and its mission of restoration, preservation and promotion of clean and accessible water sources in Central Oregon.

This fundraising concert, an annual event, in its second year, previously raised funds for music nonprofit, the Mockingbird Foundation. With its final preparations ongoing, I spoke with Jarrod Donatelli, Fractal band-member and one of the organizers of the event.

“We raised over $6,000 last year.”

Donatelli said proudly. “This year we’ve decided to keep the money local and keep it in our community. I reached out to them (the Watershed Council,) and they were super into it.

We’ve raised a little over $4,000 currently for this year's event.”

As the percussion player for Fractal, Donatelli insists that the band is truly the sum of its parts, utilizing its many musical influences as starting points for improvisation. “We’re a five-piece jam band, and we’re definitely influenced by bands like Lotus, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Phish, Grateful Dead. It’s this style of jam-tronica.” Donatelli continued, “I’ve always enjoyed that style of music and nobody around seemed to be doing anything with it at the time... But I love

all kinds of stuff, it can go from Chris Stapleton to Phish to Pink Floyd.”

On the subject of original songs, Donatelli promised new tunes from the band sometime early next year, before spilling the secret on exactly how the band plans to warm up for the concert. “We’ll be going into the studio the weekend after Thanksgiving, actually,” Donatelli said. “We’re going to go in and live track four or five tunes.

We’ll be fresh from the studio right before the event, it’ll be great.”

This rock 'n roll benefit isn't just about head-banging anthems or soul-stirring ballads; it's a fusion of sensational melodies and an appreciation for unwavering community advocacy. Amid the contagious energy and infectious beats of working in a band, Donatelli also runs a tattoo studio, ZenArt Ink Tattoo Studios, located on Division Street in Bend.

“It’s really important to me that we give back to a community that has allowed our business to thrive for the past decade,” he said.

It’s High Time for Pie Homemade pie for the holidays

By Donna Britt provides flakiness which is why my favorite simple crust recipe uses both.

Using your hands to mix the dough allows you to go slow and really feel what’s happening. You add the liquid, typically ice-cold water, a bit at a time, working it in gently, striving for that sweet spot between not too wet and not too dry. You must be careful not to overmix it as that makes the dough tough.

Other things to keep in Donna Britt mind include mixing in a large bowl to give yourself room to manipulate the dough; use the pie pan size called for in the recipe so that you have the correct amount of pastry; make sure the fats and water are ice cold: and use a glass pie pan for best results. If all you have is a metal or aluminum pie pan, go for it. The heavier and darker it is, the better browning you’ll get on your bottom crust.

One of our family traditions is to have pie for breakfast on Thanksgiving morning along with coffee and maybe mimosas. That tides us all over until the big meal and it’s also a way to get to really enjoy the pie. There’s always plenty of pie left for after dinner in case you were curious. And c’mon, any day that can start with pie and end with pie is a banner day in my book.

If you’re going to make a homemade pie crust, go ahead and make two. You can always freeze one for later.

Double-Crust Pastry

Homemade Pumpkin Pie

• • • •

• 1 unbaked pie crust, chilled • +Plus more pastry if you want to decorate the top of the pie with leaf cutouts or anything like that • ¾ cup sugar • ½ teaspoon salt • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon • ½ teaspoon ground ginger OR 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves • 2 large eggs • 1- 15-ounce can pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie mix) • 1- 12-ounce can evaporated milk Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix sugar, salt and spices in a small bowl.

Beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir pumpkin and spice mixture into the eggs. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Pour filling into unbaked pie shell.

Place pie in center of oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 40-50 minutes or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean. Cool for two hours on a wire rack and serve immediately or refrigerate. Serve with whipped cream.

3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into ¼-inch pieces or grated • ½ cup vegetable shortening (preferably Crisco), chilled and cut into small pieces • ½ cup ice cold water Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Scatter the chilled butter and shortening over the dry ingredients. Gently rub the fats into the flour mixture until it resembles small peas. Sprinkle half the water over the mixture. Toss well with a fork to dampen, adding remaining water a tablespoon at a time, continuing to toss and mix. Gently pull the mixture up from the bottom of the bowl on the upstroke and gently press down on the downstroke. The goal is to get the mixture to come together in a soft ball. Divide the ball in half. Flatten each ball into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in fridge while preparing your favorite filling.

You can also wrap a disc of dough well in plastic wrap and freeze for up to six months.

Bourbon Vanilla Whipped Cream • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold • ½ teaspoon powdered sugar • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract • 1 tablespoon bourbon or spiced rum Chill a large mixing bowl along with a whisk or the beaters from your electric mixer in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. Pour cream into the chilled bowl and mix (or whisk) on high until soft peaks form. Sprinkle in sugar and continue mixing on medium-high until peaks are firmer but not completely glossy. Stir in vanilla and bourbon. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

From Cheese to Beer: Crux and Rogue Creamery Team Up Courtesy Crux Rogue Creamery

I

t’s like a marriage of two things locals love most: craft beer and award-winning cheese.

Bend-based Crux Fermentation Project and Rogue Creamery of Central Point have teamed up to create a limited-edition, lambic-style ale, made using products from Rogue Creamery’s world-champion blue cheese, Rogue River Blue.

“Two years ago, Crux Fermentation Project, a craft brewery in Bend, Oregon, approached the Southern Oregon artisan cheesemaker to invite it to take part in the 6th rendition of Crux’s ‘Coolship’ fermentation program,” states a press release from the two companies. “The brewers and cheesemakers devised a plan to brew a beer inoculated with Rogue Creamery’s famous Rogue River Blue cheese.”

Rogue River Blue took home the top prize in the World Cheese Awards in 2019 – the first time an American cheese won in the awards’ then-32-year history.

To make the unique brew, beer makers from Crux filled their portable “Coolship” tank with beer wort and drove it to southern Oregon, where yeast and flora from the Rogue River Blue went into the mix.

Then the Crux team drove the Coolship back to Bend and let the creation age in barrels for two years. Now, that creation is nearly ready and is slated to debut to the public this weekend, on Sat., Nov. 25.

“The Crux Coolship project is all about experimentation with wild yeasts and unique ingredients — don't let the blue cheese scare you away from this slightly sweet and oaky lambic ale that is the perfect pair with your holiday roast,” said Larry Sidor, Crux’s founding brewmaster. The beer is available in Bend at the Crux tasting room, in Portland at Crux’s facility — opened in the Rose City during the summer of 2023 — and at the Rogue Creamery Cheese Shop in Central Point. It will be available both on tap and in 750 ml bottles while they last.

here have been proclamations and the giving of thanks since the early days of our Republic. Historians tell us that in November of 1621, the pilgrims in the Plymouth Colony celebrated surviving their first year in the New World with a feast. While the Wampanoags who celebrated with them might have brought pumpkins along with the venison they provided, records indicate that there was no flour or sugar available to bake a pumpkin pie. That came later, in the early 18th century.

And once President Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November a national holiday, the presence of pie on the table continued to spread around the country.

There are as many pie pastry recipes as there are people who make pies and it’s easy to go down the what to do/what not to do pastry rabbit holes. You’ll find recipes with odd ingredients such as vinegar, sour cream and vodka. You’ll be pressed to decide if you want to use a food processor, a mixer, pastry cutters or your hands. I almost didn’t write about pie because I didn’t want to add to the cacophony and confuse things even further. But here I am, sharing a few tips of what I’ve learned over the years baking pies.

Pastry ingredients are simple: flour, salt, sugar, fat and water. What you’re going for in a pie pastry is a flaky texture and good flavor. Butter gives flavor while shortening

CHOW Q & A With One Loaf Founder/Baker Jessica Dunaway

By Donna Britt Photos courtesy One Loaf

I

t’s another story of one thing leading to another.

Jessica Dunaway’s husband John challenged her to bake some sourdough bread. She did her research and started baking. Before you know it, she had baked enough bread to share with friends and family. Everyone was impressed, and One Loaf, a domestic micro-bakery, was born. As Jessica Dunaway puts it, “We’re just a small operation trying to connect with people.” One Loaf sourdough is served at San Simón and The Flamingo Room and you can buy loaves at Wild Petals Provisions in downtown Bend, as well.

Below are excerpts from the Bend Don’t Break: One Loaf podcast. Hear the entire interview on the weekly podcast at bendsource.com.

Source Weekly: You worked in the food industry for a long time. What made you decide to do your own thing?

Jessica Dunaway: The food industry honestly was a fun thing I did after college. I enjoyed it so much I stuck with it for a lot of years. My background was actually child development; I was a preschool teacher. I’m a mom now. I started baking sourdough on a challenge.

One day my husband John looked at me and said, “Why don’t you try it?” I decided to accept the challenge and I started learning about sourdough; watching videos and reading blogs and stumbled upon this particular loaf that we all love. I call it a classic San Francisco white sourdough and I started sharing it with people. And they started saying, “Why aren’t you selling this?” Then we asked ourselves, “Could we sell it? Maybe.”

SW: So basically one thing led to another like so many other stories I hear in our community. Are you doing all the baking?

JD: I’m doing all the baking now. John has been running the business background side of things but for the most part, it’s been my baby. We officially started selling bread in May. SW: Do you think you’ll expand beyond the one loaf?

JD: I’ve been experimenting with different shapes.

It’s been really fun to take this dough and try and form a baguette or a larger sandwich loaf. One of the things we’ll probably follow through with is a sandwich loaf that we bake in a loaf pan. It’s working with this dough.

It changes the crumb a little bit but it’s still really good and it makes it easier to slice.

"We’re just a small operation trying to connect with people."

-Jessica Dunaway SW: I guess it’s about finding that sweet spot between doing more to satisfy customers and doing what you can or want to do?

JD: Absolutely. For the time being it’s how I want it to fit with the family and about keeping a flow that doesn’t disrupt things too much. I enjoy the rhythm that this brings and the routine that it brings for me.

Part of what took me by surprise when I started making sourdough was how much I would enjoy the process. Having my hands in the dough and feeling it change as the day progressed and just each little step, I really enjoy.

SW: You like the process?

JD: Yeah, I feel like it’s provided a rhythm, a routine, that I was looking for. I didn’t realize I could do something outside of myself to provide that. I see how it has a trickledown effect for my family, as well.

SW: If you talk to anyone who creates, they talk about liking the process. If you’re just excited about the finished product, it’s not going to sustain you.

JD: Yeah, and you have to be flexible. I’m learning to just feel the dough now. It’s less about the technique

Left, One Loaf founder/baker Jessica Dunaway is all about connection.

Right, One Loaf sourdough offers a classic white sourdough loaf.

and more about, “what does the dough feel like.” It’s such a “felt” thing.

SW: It sounds like you’re challenged by it?

JD: It feels like an art, it’s like working with clay or other medium. If you work with it long enough, you kind of learn it. Some people want to be scientific about sourdough but that’s not me!

SW: It’s good for your soul.

JD: It’s like giving someone a hug; there’s something personal about it. It’s like an unspoken, “I care about you.” It’s been a neat community builder.

SW: Do you have any near future plans you’d like to share?

JD: One of the things that we’re looking at is setting up is a subscription for purchasing bread.

SW: To me it feels nourishing to eat bread that’s baked by my neighbor in my own community.

JD: I think it’s that human connection piece. I feel like there’s something about these smaller ventures that connect us.

SW: So this is your job now?

JD: John and I have been talking about work and business and how sometimes you start something and it grows into something big and sometimes it’s just a stepping stone into whatever the next thing. And I don’t know, but I’m really open.

‘Tis the Season to Give Books (From Indie booksellers)

By Cassie Clemans, Owner of Roundabout Books and Cafe

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / NOVEMBER 23, 2023 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

WHAT CASSIE'S READING

"A Wild and Heavenly Place"

by Robin Oliveira When Hailey’s father moves his family from Scotland to the Washington Territory, her lover, Samuel, is determined to find her as well as give his own sister a better life in the U.S. But the fledgling town of Seattle will test them all in unimaginable ways.

A beautiful and haunting love story, and an ode to the Pacific Northwest. (This novel releases on Feb 13, 2024. Pre-order your copy now.)

M

aybe you love to give books, have already pre-ordered signed copies of bestsellers and chosen your favorite reads for everyone on your list. Maybe you celebrate the Icelandic Jolabokaflod tradition of exchanging books on a cozy evening and settling in for a night of reading, gourmet chocolate, fluffy socks and your favorite hot toddy. Maybe you equate giving books to the curmudgeon who stands at the front door handing out toothbrushes on Halloween.

Books are the perfect holiday gift. By giving books, you take the time to think about your loved ones and select something meaningful for them. You give them an excuse to slow down, escape their daily worries and explore new experiences all from the comfort of a cozy couch. You give the opportunity to learn something new, seek adventure, get lost in a romance or simply enjoy a few pleasurable hours alone. You give a chance to build a greater connection by talking about the book with them later.

What other small gift can do all that?

Need help picking out that perfect book? I’ve shared a speed-round of recommendations below, but plan time to visit your independent bookstore to get more gift ideas. That’s what we do best!

We also host author events, create a gathering space for the community, host book clubs, story times and support local authors. We collaborate with local partners and employ residents.

We hand-curate our inventory to meet community interests. We read a lot.

We know you can buy books from big box stores or Amazon, but if you support our mission, please consider shopping with independent bookstores this holiday season. The Saturday after Thanksgiving is Small Business Saturday, the day the nation celebrates and supports small businesses and all they do for their communities.

By shopping local during the holidays, you help ensure local businesses stay healthy the rest of the year, plus you: • Keep dollars in our local economy.

An indie bookstore recirculates 29% of its revenue locally, whereas Amazon only circulates 5%.

• Create local jobs.

• Help the environment by requiring less packaging and transportation.

• Nurture our community. Local businesses donate to local causes more than twice the rate as chains and online retailers.

• Make us a destination, and ensure Central Oregon is rich with unique and diverse businesses.

A few of Cassie’s book recommendations for gift-giving this holiday season.

The strength of Bend’s literary community is underscored by the number of indie bookstores in Central Oregon.

Roundabout Books & Cafe and Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe in Bend, Herringbone Books in Redmond, Paulina Springs Books in Sisters, and Sunriver Books and Music in Sunriver are all members of American Booksellers Association, are led by teams of individuals who enjoy sharing their great love of literature and who can’t wait to share their holiday gift recommendations.

Here is a great variety of nonfiction: For inspiration, try “Hidden Potential” by Adam Grant, “Atomic Habits”

by James Clear, “How to Know a Person” by David Brooks, or “Awe” by Dacher Keitner.

For health and wellness try “Outlive” by Peter Attia, “Forever Strong”

by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and don’t forget a beautiful new cookbook!

For science and nature, check out “A City on Mars” by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith or “Of Time and Turtles”

by Sy Montgomery.

For history buffs, consider “The Last Outlaws” by Tom Clavin, “Differ We Must” by Steve Inskeep, or “Graveyard of the Pacific” by Randall Sullivan.

For fans of biography, this year’s celebrity tell-alls include Barbra Streisand, Henry Winkler, Patrick Stewart, Elon Musk and more. Stand-out non-celebrity memoirs include “Power Days” by Heather Hansman, “How to Say Babylon” by Safiya Sinclair, and “Class” by Stephanie Land.

For your favorite educator, “The Teachers” by Alexandra Robins.

For the creators on your list, “The Creative Act” by Rick Rubin.

For the socially minded, consider “Poverty, by America” by Matthew Desmond, or “Democracy Awakening” by Heather Cox Richardson.

For the perfect gift for your team, consider anything above, and “Good for a Girl” by Lauren Fleshman, “Going Infinite” by Michael Lewis, or “Unreasonable Hospitality” by Will Guidara.

For kids, I loved the new Kate DiCamillo, “The Puppets of Spelhorst,” perfect for emerging readers. Other middle grade highlights include “Dogtown” by Katherine Applegate, “MexiKid” by Pedro Martin, or “Bea Wolf”

by Zach Weinersmith. My favorite picture books are “The Big Cheese” by Jory John, “Flat Cat” by Tara Lazar, “Knight Owl” by Christopher Denise, and “Evergreen” by Matthew Cordell.

Here are some of my recommendations this year: For seriously great fiction, “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store” by James McBride, “The Vaster Wilds” by Lauren Groff, “The House of Doors” by Ian Twan Eng, “Shark Heart” by Emily Habeck, “I Have Some Questions for You” by Rebecca Makkai, and “Roman Stories” by Jhumpa Lahiri.

November to Remember SCREEN AGiamatti, pilgrims and Disney, oh my

disturbed individual behind the “Hostel” franchise (and also, surprisingly, “The House with a Clock in its Walls).

While “Thanksgiving” is simultaneously gut-bustingly hilarious and stomach churningly gory, it completely falls apart in its last 10 minutes.

Set in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a year after several people get trampled to death during a tragic (and darkly hilarious) Black Friday stampede, someone dressed like the pilgrim John Carver is murdering the survivors with an axe.

What we have in “Thanksgiving” are three movies all competing for supremacy. First, we have a slasher movie that wants to create a villain as iconic as Ghostface in the “Scream” franchise.

Next is a mystery about which character is the killer hiding behind the John Carver mask. Finally (and most interestingly), is a social satire about consumerism and the holidays.

The film is ultimately only successful as a slasher movie. The gore is fantastic and feels like a throwback to the great slashers of the ‘80s, but the reveal of the killer’s identity is obvious and a huge disappointment, while the social satire aspect dulls its claws as the film goes on, ending as a surprisingly toothless indictment of holiday-fueled capitalism. “Thanksgiving” should have been (ahem) stuffed with ideas, but this feels like the safest version of that gruesome trailer from 2007’s “Grindhouse.”

What has easily been the best film released (so far) in November is “The Holdovers,” a warm-hearted and bittersweet look at three lonely and broken people who have to spend two weeks together across Christmas break, as they’re forced to remain on campus at

“The Holdovers” teaches us how to find a makeshift family.

a Massachusetts prep school in 1970.

Paul Giamatti plays a cross-eyed curmudgeon of a teacher, Dominic Sessa is a wild and borderline feral student and Da’Vine Joy Randolph is the head cook who just lost her son in Vietnam.

These three characters create a makeshift family in a way that never feels overly sentimental and saccharine; instead, there’s a raw and jagged edge to the film that feels at times achingly human and sneakily cathartic. At 130 minutes, the film is a bit long, but I could have watched an entire series just about these three people trying to come to understand themselves and each other. Expect “The Holdovers” to be nominated for lots of awards and be ready for it to stay in your head and heart for a long time after the closing credits.

There are some big ones coming up between now and the end of the year that are probably going to be massive awards contenders. I’m hoping “Napoleon” is vintage Ridley Scott and I have

a feeling that “Poor Things” and “The Iron Claw” are going to be incredible, so December definitely has some cinematic gifts to share, for sure. If they’re anywhere close to as touching as “The Holdovers” then we’re in for a treat.

ovember is always a weird time of the year when it comes to the movies being released in theaters. Studios don’t usually start rolling out the films they think have a good chance to win some Oscars until December and they’re saving the real dumpster fires for January, so November ends up being where they release the movies they have no idea what to do with — movies they assume are either going to be surprising in their popularity, or depressing in their lack of connection to the popular zeitgeist.

I avoid cynicism when it comes to cinema because it’s boring and easy.

Sure, it’s trendy to hate on Marvel right now, but back when “Iron Man” came out in 2008, what they were attempting was genuinely gutsy and forward-thinking as they slowly built a Cinematic Universe one puzzle piece at a time.

I’m starting to notice more cynicism when it comes to Disney and their output, as they’ve now become basically a monopoly of entertainment, with “Star Wars,” “Marvel,” 20th Century Entertainment and so much more under the same umbrella.

And yeah, Disney as a corporation is gross and scary, but I continue to support their films because of the actual artists and technicians that create the “content” making the shareholders rich(er). Celebrating 100 years of fostering the imaginations of children and adults through the expert deployment of capitalism, Disney has released “Wish,” an animated musical obsessed with the idea that most Disney cartoons are connected thematically by characters wishing for stuff like better lives, true love and real boys.

“Wish” is a wash. Dull animation and character design, a story we’ve seen many times before and stakes so low that there’s no momentum to the action and adventure. The fatal problem that “Wish” can’t really escape is that it’s relying on the nostalgia audiences have for 100 years of Disney movies by constantly reminding people about other, better movies. The closing credits have images of “Beauty and the Beast,” “Fox and the Hound,” “Cinderella” and dozens of other Disney classics represented in constellations, as if “Wish” remotely has a spot in the pantheon of those movies. It doesn’t. Not even a little. Actually, I guess the songs are OK. Still, kids will probably love it.

Horror movies in November are usually better than average because the genuinely awful horror flicks are released in January. I heard some good word of mouth about “Thanksgiving,” the new slasher film from Eli Roth, the

Observing Raptors

Where, when and how to see birds of prey in Oregon’s high desert

By Craig Miller

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / NOVEMBER 23, 2023 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

aptors are perhaps the most charismatic and venerated avian species in the world, and Oregon’s high desert is a great place to see them. The term “raptor” or “bird of prey” is defined as a bird that kills and eats other animals for food. Hawks and owls both meet the definition, but most owls are secretive and active during the night and therefore not easily observed. Vultures are known to occasionally prey on live animals, but their primary source of food is carrion, and so they are not considered raptors.

Tara Lemezis

One of three accipiter species occuring in Oregon, Cooper’s hawks are birds of the forest, and their specialty is hunting small birds where there is a lot of vegetation.

Oregon Raptors There are 15 regularly occurring species of “hawks” in Oregon, each possessing its own hunting techniques and habitat preference. Therefore, no one habitat, season, or location is likely to host all species. “Hawks” can be lumped into six groups: eagles, buteos, harriers, osprey, accipiters and falcons.

Eagles: Golden eagles prey on jackrabbits, smaller mammals and carrion and are year-round inhabitants of the high desert. Bald eagles prefer fish and waterfowl, and therefore are more likely to be found near large bodies of water.

Buteos: Red-tailed hawks are by far the most common and variable hawk in Oregon, and can be found year-round in virtually every habitat in Oregon. They are frequently seen perched on utility poles looking for prey. Ferruginous hawks are high desert residents most often found in sagebrush habitat and other open range, but can also be in agricultural fields during winter. Swainson’s hawks are strictly summer residents of wide-open spaces and farmlands. Red-shouldered hawks are our smallest buteo, uncommon on the east side and quite shy, preferring tall vegetation or deciduous trees rather than open range.

Accipiters: Three accipiter species occur in Oregon: sharp-shinned hawk, Cooper’s hawk and northern goshawk. They are birds of the forest, and their specialty is hunting small birds where there is a lot of vegetation. Although they occur in Oregon year-round, large numbers can be seen migrating south in the fall.

Harrier: The only harrier species in Oregon is the northern harrier (which some people call a “marsh hawk”). While it does have a preference for marsh areas such as Summer Lake and Klamath Marsh, it also frequents open fields and farmland.

Osprey: Strictly depending on fish for its existence, the osprey is found around open water and migrates south for the winter.

Falcons: Falcons are fast flyers with pointed wings.

Prairie falcons are birds of the open range, preying on small mammals such as ground squirrels, cottontail rabbits and wood rats. Peregrine Falcons specialize on small shorebirds, so are most often found near shallow lakes. Merlins feed primarily on birds, and although uncommon, can be found in a wide variety of habitats from fall to early spring. American kestrels are our most common and smallest falcon. They feed primarily on small mammals such as voles, mice and shrews, as well as insects such as grasshoppers.

Observing Raptors When one sets about to find raptors, it helps to know not only where, but also when to look. In Oregon, some raptors are year-round residents; others fly south for the winter and still others arrive from Canada and

Shannon Phifer

Alaska to spend the winter in Oregon. The concentration of easily observable raptors is highest during the winter months from late November through late February and lowest during breeding season from April through June. Birds of prey are unsurprisingly attracted to areas where food is most accessible, especially large agricultural fields where ground squirrels, mice, gophers and other small mammals are abundant. Raptors are also attracted to wide open spaces like marshland, mud flats and lakes.

Categorized as falcons, Merlins are an uncommon raptor in Oregon’s high desert. If spotted, they can be found in a wide variety of habitats from fall to early spring.

Raptor Hotspots in Oregon’s High Desert Fort Rock to Christmas Valley – August through March; Prairie falcons, Golden eagles are frequent at Fort Rock State Park, and all the buteos and eagles can be found in the fields and perched on the utility poles along the road from Fort Rock to Christmas Valley.

Silver Lake – Buteos and eagles abound in the open fields along Hwy 31 from the town of Silver Lake to Picture Rock Pass. There are plenty of places to pull over to the side of the road to observe and scan.

Summer Lake Basin – February through September; all species of raptors can be seen here, depending on the season. Note: The refuge tour loop is closed during hunting season, October through January.

Klamath Wildlife Refuge – Fall and winter; especially renowned for its eagles, but all raptors occur here.

Wickiup Reservoir – Bald Eagles occur year-round, but especially during fall. Ospreys from April through October.

Paulina to Rager Ranger Station – Late fall and early spring; eagles and buteos.

Dan Streiffert

Raptor Events Another option is to learn about and observe raptors in a group setting. A great entry point is Eagle Watch, is an annual celebration event at Round Butte Overlook Park, near Madras, hosted by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Portland General Electric and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, usually held the last weekend in February.

This Thanksgiving, Nov. 23 at 7:30am in the heart of the Old Mill District, Cascade Relays will provide runners, and families with extra energy in the morning, a 1.5 mile and 5k option run/walk for a chance to earn those delicious dinner calories during this year’s “I Like m Pie!” run. gra ta ns Cascade Relays CEO and co-founder Scott Douglass explained that the Cascade Relays Foundation was founded with a clear intention and vision for building a welcoming and authentic community of runners.

The foundation has been serving the community for the past 15 years, and partnered with FootZone in 2018.

“It’s really not your typical timed 5K or 10K,” Douglass explained.

“It’s designed for families to come down and start between 7:30-9:30am.

We’re serving that last piece of pie at 10:15am,” said Douglass. “This is more of an event than a race. Arrive when you arrive.”

Lace up your running shoes and dress to keep warm while enjoying slices of pumpkin pie, apple pie, pumpkin cheesecake and gluten free options.

First 3,000 people will receive a limited edition “I LIKE PIE!” beanie.

ven as someone who does most of his cocktail drinking at home, equipped only with my limited bottles and unlimited whimsy, I’m really digging Bend’s boom in cocktail bars and revamped menus. For starters, they provide experiential research, which explains my attempts at homemade shrubs, syrups, extracts and infusions. From housemade fruit-infused vodkas to bacon-washed whiskeys, bartenders both pro and amateur continue to unleash pensive ingredients even the distillers haven’t dreamt up. If I had to pick a favorite, which, luckily, I don’t, it’d be Rancher Butcher Chef’s smoked vermouth as featured in one of its signature cocktails, the Prescribed Burn.

It's essentially a smoky twist on a Manhattan. But not only is the cocktail not mega-new to Bend as it’s been on the steak-centric bar and grill’s menu since it opened just over a year ago, but it wasn’t new itself, having been born as a drink called New Money from the cocktail list at Imperial, the Vitaley Paley-fronted Portland restaurant that shuttered a few months into the pandemic. Portland’s loss is Bend’s gain.

In more ways than one. At around the same time the vaunted Paley retired from the Portland restaurant and hospitality industry, so did John Gorham, meaning the city lost, arguably, its two biggest names. But Gorham relocated to Central Oregon, as did Paley Hospitality’s co-owner and general manager, Garrett Peck. It’s here where Gorham and Peck united and then conceived of RBC. Several elements from each’s previous restaurants found new life in Northwest Crossing. (Toro Bravo’s iconic potatoes bravas, for one). Mercifully, TCFKA (the cocktail formerly known as) New Money is among them. “When we put the drink program together here at RBC,” says Peck, “we used some of the old faves from various bar programs we had in the past and tweaked names and ingredients to be more on brand with Central Oregon and RBC.” Prescribed Burn is inarguably the better name. Granted, “new money” is an incidental fact of life in Bridgetown, but prescribed burns are a vital fact of life in Bend. Moreover, the Bulleit Bourbon-based cocktail doesn’t taste like ducats that the nouveau riche burn through, nor is Bulleit close to RBC’s spendiest bourbon. Amaro is a key ingredient that lends the drink

Brian Yaeger

RBC's Garrett Peck conjures up some sweet smoke.

a peck of sweetness and an herbaceous smooch. (RBC’s amaro list is 16 strong!) It’s gilded with a splash of bitters. But the player that makes it sing is the house-smoked vermouth.

I don’t find Cinzano on its own to be that inspiring, since the vermouths available to mixologists today have gone through quite the artisanal revolution. But what better way to revolutionize what vermouth can be than by taking one of the best-known (and budget-friendly) brands and giving it a fiery makeover, such that you wouldn’t dare call it fortified wine?

And yes, the crew really does empty a couple bottles of the red vermouth into a pan to smoke it in-house. The result flits through the intersection of smoky and sweet. Think that doesn’t sound good to you? I guess you don’t like Kansas City barbecue. Or s’mores!

RBC itself operates in a unique intersection. It offers steak tartare and octopus a la plancha as well as some nearly $200 steaks (large enough to feed a family or make Joey Chestnut feel full), but it also offers spruced-up comfort food. I could subsist on the hushpuppies with jalapeno butter. And, IMHO, although the cost of RBC’s bistro burger is in line with most food truck prices (when also accounting for bacon and a side of fries), it’s the best in town (and this coming from a Dandy’s diehard).

But the rug that really ties the room together is the Prescribed Burn, all thanks to that smoked vermouth.

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) was charismatic and forceful, but also hot-tempered and prone to rude behavior. The writer Goethe, his contemporary, said "his talent amazed me," and described him as an "utterly untamed personality." Beethoven seldom lived in one home for very long and loved to sing at the top of his lungs as he washed himself. Although he played piano with exquisite skill, he was quite clumsy as he moved through the world. Can you guess what astrological sign he was? Same as you! Sagittarius! I'm not saying you are exactly like this wild, unruly genius, but you do have tendencies in that direction. And in the coming weeks, I expect you'll be inclined to be more Beethoven-esque than usual. Please work on emphasizing the winsome aspects.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I hope you have developed good boundaries, Capricorn. I hope you are so skilled at taking care of yourself that you steadfastly refuse to let people manipulate you or hurt you. Just to make sure your discernment is working at peak levels, though, I will offer you a tip. In the English language, we have the idiom “to rub salt in a wound,” which refers to the fact that daubing salt in an open gash in the skin makes the pain even worse. But did you know that smearing sugar in a wound is equally distressing? The metaphorical lesson is that you should be vigilant for seemingly nice, sweet people who might also violate your boundaries to hurt or manipulate you.

this horoscope is worth $22,225. It has been made possible by my many years of disciplined meditations, extensive reading of holy texts, and an ever-growing devotion to astrology and my readers. But here’s the fun part: You can read these words for free! No cost at all! I will, however, ask you to do something for me in return. First, give your gifts joyously and generously in the coming weeks, holding nothing back. Second, don’t be in the least concerned about whether you will receive benefits in return for your gifts. Find the sweet spot where you love bestowing blessings for no other reason except this one: You are expressing your gratitude for the miraculous life you have been given.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do you possess gambits, tactics, and knacks that we might refer to as your “bag of tricks”? I hope so, because such an asset will be extra valuable during the coming weeks. You will be wise to employ every cagey move you can imagine and call on every favor that’s owed to you and cash in on every advantage you have accrued. I don’t want you to engage in outright cheating, but I encourage you to use ploys and stratagems that have full integrity. Be on the lookout for secret shortcuts, magic cookies, and wild cards.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When we experience authentic awe, our humility deepens. This is turn tends to make us kinder, smarter, and more positive. So how can we stimulate awe? Among the many possible ways are gazing at magnificent art, hiking in a natural wonderland, or being in the presence of a beautiful human soul. In accordance with astrological omens, I recommend that you go in quest of awe and related feelings like reverence, amazement, adoration, and veneration. Your mental, physical, and spiritual health will flourish in response.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s the Season

for Cherishing and Smoking Out Secrets. So let's talk about the subject. 1. Some secrets are sad, haunting, even risky—and worth keeping secret.

2. Other secrets can be beautiful, healing, and potentially life-changing if they are revealed gracefully. 3. Some secrets are buried so deeply that only very persistent seekers dig them up. 4.

Some secrets are "hidden" in plain view, and only visible to people who are clear and brave enough to identify them. I suspect you Tauruses will have a special knack for managing all types of secrets

in the coming weeks, including those I mentioned.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I hope you won’t fill

yourself up with appetizers and hors d’oeuvres in the coming weeks, Gemini. My soul will be at peace if I see you save your hunger for the main courses.

Your motto should be “Feasts, not snacks!” or “The Real Deal, not the pretenders!” or “The jubilee, not the distractions!” If you ever find yourself feeling halfhearted or inattentive, you’re probably not in the right situation. Here’s an affirmation to go with your mottoes: “I am liberating my divine appetite!”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Playwright Anton

Chekhov (1860–1904) is regarded as one of history's great writers. That does not mean everything he said was wise, useful, or worthy of our attention. For example, he was once asked to give his opinion about ballet. "During the intermissions, the ballerinas stink like horses," he replied. I hesitate to bring up such a vulgar reference, but I wanted to make a vivid point. In the coming weeks, I hope you will ignore the advice of people who don't know what they are talking about, no matter how smart or charismatic they may be. I hope you will not attribute expertise to those who have no such expertise. I hope that as much as possible, you will rely on first-hand information, rigorous research, and reliable influences.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Researchers have determined that there are two basic dispositions among tigers. One is what they call “majesty.” Creatures with this orientation tend to be dignified, imposing, and agile. The other type of tiger personality revolves around “steadiness.” This is the opposite of neuroticism, and includes the qualities of being affable, easy to get along with, and well-adjusted. I know many astrologers associate lions with you Leos, but I prefer to link you with tigers. If you agree with me, here’s my prediction: You are beginning a phase when you will be more majestic than steady—but with plenty of steadiness also available if you want it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "It is better to en-

tertain an idea than to take it home to live with you for the rest of your life," wrote author Randall Jarrell. That's decent advice, though I will add a caveat. If you entertain an idea for a while and it turns out that you love it, and you also love the beneficent effect it has on you, you may be smart to take it home to live with you. I'm guessing you Virgos are at a pivotal point in this regard. Not yet, but soon, you will know whether it will be wise to get cozier with certain influences you have been flirting with—or else decide they are not ones you want to keep.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If I could give an

award for Most Curious Genius in the World, it would be to Libran author and naturalist Diane Ackerman. She would also get my prize for Most Voracious Learner and Best Questioner and Most Exuberant Seeker and Searcher. "To hear the melody," she writes, "we must hear all the notes."

In response to the question, "What is life?" she offers this answer: "corsages and dust mites and alligator skin and tree-frog serenades and foreskins and blue hydrangeas and banana slugs and war dances and cedar chips and bombardier beetles." In accordance with current astrological omens, I encourage you to be like Diane Ackerman in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have you located

any of your soul twins? If not, is that an interesting prospect for you? Please note that soul twins are not necessarily the same as dream lovers.

They may simply be people with whom you share deep values and perspectives. They might aspire to influence the world in ways similar to you. With a soul twin, you feel at home in the world and extra happy to be yourself. I bring these meditations to your attention, Scorpio, because the coming months will be an especially likely time for you to encounter and engage with soul twins. Be on the alert!

What’s the best thing you could do to heal yourself right now?

THE THIRD ACT

A COLUMN ON AGEISM AND AGEING

By Ellen Waterston

O

n Veterans Day, nearly 3,000 flags lined the main streets of towns across central Oregon with Redmond, aka Flag City, USA, in the lead with 1,600 stars and stripes placed by volunteers hours before that city’s parade began. Throughout the region, the best of hometown parade pageantry was on full display: high school bands, Girl and Boy Scouts, the Oregon Youth Challenge Color Guard, rodeo queens and their courts, military vehicles, Mt. View High School’s Navy National Defense Cadet Corps and the veterans themselves. In Madras, the Black Bear Diner offered a free meal to all who have served in the armed forces. Burns High School hosted a Veterans Assembly that included tributes along with a tasty brunch.

Veterans Day was originally Armistice Day to commemorate the truce between the allied forces and Germany signed at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 and leading to the end of World War I. In 1914, Author H.G. Wells dubbed WWI “the war to end all wars.” If only, if only he’d been right. But despite, or maybe because of, the Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Palestine conflicts and other battles across the globe, on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023, Veterans Day commemorations took place throughout the United States with the American flag front and center.

It’s a flag that has long stood for a democracy founded on respect, loyalty and reason, on loving one’s neighbor. But in recent years older veterans of war and life have seen Old Glory rendered less a symbol of patriotism, the emblem of team America, and more a political symbol as defined by one faction or another. From my Baby Boomer perspective, a term coined to describe the increase in birth rate after World War II, I can’t help but feel the freedoms we cherish, that veterans have given their lives to protect, are in real jeopardy given the divisions among our own ranks.

I recently made good on a longstanding promise to myself: a trip to the small nation of Bhutan. My dream of visiting this tiny country nestled at the foot of the towering Himalayas was fueled by images of breathtaking natural beauty as well as Bhutan’s reputation as the happiest country in the world. In 2008 the country established goodwill as a policy, adopting Gross National Happiness as a “development

indicator, formalizing the country’s belief that happiness is a core responsibility of government.” I kid you not. “It provided the world with proof-of-concept for moving beyond GDP (Gross Domestic Product) measurement and taking a holistic view of social development,” according to an article co-authored by Asian Development Bank economist Milan Thomas and Yangchen Rinzin, a fellow at Bhutan’s Centre for Gross National Happiness Studies. What does that look like on a day-to-day basis? Compassion of one individual for the other, lack of self-aggrandizement, respect and caring. This is not an exaggeration.

The country’s national flag, yellow and red bicolor with a dragon in the center, is displayed in Bhutan’s cities, but stealing the show are the colorful Bhutanese prayer flags (dhar).

They are everywhere. They dance from lines strung atop the tallest mountains, across the deepest chasms and from towering Cyprus trees. The flags festoon the steepest cliffs, surround ornate temples and stupas and are an integral feature at the Buddhist monasteries located throughout the country.

The belief is by hanging the flags, the prayers they carry for happiness and freedom from suffering are released far and wide. I returned from this trip truly inspired by a culture predicated on the good of all, a concept that shouldn’t feel so foreign, so unusual.

Sometimes it takes getting out of Dodge to shake loose a new perspective. Distance or destination needn’t be the determining factor. After a high desert out-and-back or a hike into the Cascades I always see and feel more fully when I return to the hub-bub of town. Admittedly on this trip I traveled crazy far to be reminded that personal happiness depends on the happiness of others and to witness firsthand that happiness as a governmental policy is possible.

I can’t help but wonder what would happen if, instead of the flags we fly to noisily proclaim our divisive political positions, we respectfully flew giant prayer flags from our vehicles, releasing to the winds our wishes for mutual caring, the end of suffering, for peace at home and abroad. My bet is, if we did, we’d move mountains the size of the Himalayas on the way to victory in the campaign for compassion.

Sell Now, or After the Holidays?

Kelly Johnson

Is your house the top thing on a buyer’s wish list this holiday season?

541-610-5144

“Love where you live!”

2. While the supply of homes for

sale has increased a little bit lately, overall inventory is still lower than it was before the pandemic. What does that mean for you? If you work with an agent to price your house at market value, it could still sell quickly because today’s buyers are craving more options – and your home may be exactly what they’re searching for.

3. You can determine the days and times that are most convenient for you for home showings. That can help you minimize disruptions to your own schedule, which can be especially important during this busy time of year. Plus, you may find buyers are more flexible on when they’ll tour a house this time of year because they have more time off from work around the holidays.

4. And finally, homes decorated for the holidays appeal to many buyers. For those buyers, it’s easy to picture gathering with their loved ones in the home and making memories of their own. An article on selling at this time of year offers this advice: “If you’re selling around a holiday and have decorations up, make sure they accent—not overpower—a room.

Less is more.”

T

his time every year, homeowners who are planning to move have a decision to make: sell now or wait until after the holidays? Some sellers with homes already on the market may even remove their listing until the new year.

But the truth is, many buyers want to purchase a home for the holidays, and your house might be just what they’re looking for. As an article from “Fortune Builders” explains: “ . . . while a majority of people take a step back from the real estate market during the holiday months, you may find when the temperature drops, your potential for a great real estate deal starts to rise.”

To help prove that point, here are four reasons you shouldn’t wait to sell your house.

1. The desire to own a home doesn’t stop during the holidays. While a few buyers might opt to delay their moving plans until January, others may need to move now because something in their life has changed. The buyers who look for homes at this time of year are usually motivated to make their move happen and are eager to buy.

A recent article from Investopedia says: “Anyone shopping for a new home between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is likely going to be a serious buyer. Putting your home on the market at this time of year and attracting a serious buyer can often result in a quicker sale.”
