EDITOR’S NOTE:

Getting this paper from newsroom to printer to you takes a battalion of dedicated individuals—especially when the snow hits hard, as it did last week, just when we began distribution. Because of that, I’d like to take a sec to say thanks to the hard-working, hard-driving people who ensure the Source Weekly gets to every one of our 518 drop sites, every week.

First, a shout-out to truck driver Melchor Mendez who drives from our printing press in Yakima, Washington each week—rain, snow or sleet. David Hill, Jennifer Crosby and Josh Gatlin routinely drive through adverse conditions in Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Sunriver and beyond to deliver the paper close to home, and Shane Osborne brings the paper to Prineville. Cheers to our fine distribution team for persevering through a snowy week!

OPINION Portland is Finalizing a Deal to Use Tourism Dollars to Battle Homelessness. It’s a Precedent Central Oregon Should Follow.

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / DECEMBER 5, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

ust about one year ago, this editorial page highlighted the efforts underway in Portland to direct some of the money collected through tourism-related taxes to a fund supporting people on the verge of homelessness. It was a novel idea that caught our attention then—and now that the arrangement, as reported by the Portland Tribune last month, is becoming reality, it’s catching our attention once again.

In the Portland area, the plan is to move some of the dollars collected through hotel taxes and rental car fees into a fund that, as reported by Willamette Week, “dedicates $2.5 million to ‘livability and safety and supportive services for people experiencing homelessness, or at risk of experiencing homelessness.’�

Before this new plan, that same pot of Portland-area tourism money

they could opt to use the economic engine of tourism to combat it.

What’s more, short-term rental apps such as Airbnb have encouraged more people to rent out their homes on a short-term basis instead of renting them to long-term renters—thereby reducing the stock of affordable rooms and houses by thousands. Room taxes are collected from those short-term rentals—so it would make sense to add those room tax dollars to tangibly combat the problem of a reduced housing stock.

Increasingly, destination marketing organizations are working as destination managers—and they could take a broader view of what managing those destinations means. An example: Transient room tax funds could support an affordable housing project for service-industry workers whose

Since the process is dictated by the State of Oregon, we have a similar program in Central Oregon. Cities and counties collect room tax dollars, adding the majority of them to their General Funds, and then allocate another portion to tourism promotion or tourism-related facilities. It’s with those promotion/facilities dollars that Portland is getting innovative—and it's an innovation that leaders in Central Oregon should pay attention to.

Portland, like Bend, has a housing affordability problem that results in increased homelessness and cost-burdened residents. These are issues that are a concern in and of themselves—but it also has a business consequence in terms of staffing. Business owners, especially during the high tourism season, continue to struggle to find staff as housing and costs of living rise.

In the Portland area, leaders determined that homelessness is having an impact on the economy and the experience of tourists—so they’re opting to use the economic engine of tourism itself to combat the problem. In Central Oregon, local governments could similarly determine that the housing affordability problem is having an impact on the economy—and

labor drives the tourism econom. This would be money well spent. Sunriver has already recognized this conundrum and is currently considering building housing for its workers. This is further confirmation that the private sector recognizes the dilemma in our region.

Using more of our tourism-related dollars to support low-income housing or housing for tourism workers is not only the right thing to do; it is good business and it would be a measure that can help support a robust local economy.

RE: “DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK,” 11/21

RE: “A HOME ENERGY SCORE IS A WIN FOR BEND,” 11/21

Great article. Thanks!

It would be great to also look at the potential benefit the HES will have, by calculating the average monthly electric bill, and the potential of say a 10% or 20% decrease in it by following some of the recommendations from HES that are easiest to implement. Do we have any data on this?

That would make a great comparison against the $175 cost—which I have to say I’m surprised COAR is bringing up as a large concern. I would think (and

@sourceweekly

hope) COAR would be on board for serious action on the climate crisis.

—Kavi Chokshi, via bendsource.com If someone gets a low score, they are not required to fix it (can you imagine the pushback if that were the case?!). It will, however, give someone looking at that home a heads up on what they can expect their energy costs to be and a list of potential improvements they could make so they can factor that information appropriately into their buying decision.

Some homes with a lower score, with a few energy upgrades, may still cost less than a home with a higher score.

Without knowing what energy improvements make sense for the home, the average homebuyer would never be able to weigh all those variables to figure out which is the better deal with just information from a call the utility companies.

The plan does call on the City to lead by example with electric vehicles—if you want to see more efficient vehicles, you should let them know!

Also being in the industry I have worked at many well-known restaurants in Bend and Portland. I have worked with the best chefs in Central Oregon and spending over 20 years in the culinary field I feel my opinion is valid and unbiased. I just think he deserves some acknowledgement for his hard work and creativity is all. Thanks hope you consider Joe Kim for 5 fusion.

Interesting and informative article!

I think Cascadian Darks are a different animal from merely black IPAs though. According to beeradvocate. com. (Goldman-Armstrong is the co-inventor of the CDA style.): In early 2010, Goldman-Armstrong organized a CDA symposium in which brewers and beer writers tasted, discussed and finally built a consensus on the style’s characteristics. For one thing, they agreed, a CDA must be something more than a simple IPA that happens to be black. A brewer can achieve the color without added body simply by cold-steeping dark grains or—as in some dark lagers—with de-husked black malt, neither of which provide adequate roasted character, they said.

And for another, CDA must be brewed with the Northwest’s distinctively aromatic hops, including Amarillo, Centennial, Chinook and, yes, Cascade. This wasn’t just a matter of local pride. When the resins of Northwestern hops mesh with the roasted malts, said some brewers, they tend to produce an almost minty or rosemary quality—a quality that is missing when the ale is made with British Fuggles or East Kent Goldings.

“It’s a very different beer,” Goldman-Armstrong said when I asked him if he could taste the difference between an IPA and a CDA with his eyes closed.

“If you have any palate at all, you should recognize it’s a different beer from standard India Pale Ale.” —Roger Kohn

City of Bend invests in more staff and equipment to stay ahead of snow removal

By Laurel Brauns

T

he first major storm of the season hit Tuesday, leaving many people with ice-encrusted snow berms blocking their driveways the day before Thanksgiving. But a new pilot project may make “the berm burden” a thing of the past—at least on major arteries in Bend, said Streets and Operations Director David Abbas. This is just one of a number of pilot projects the City is initiating this winter.

After receiving numerous complaints from people blocked in by snowplow berms last year, the City invested in a snow gate that should arrive sometime this month, Abbas explained. The gate attaches to the side of a plow, and operators drop it only when they move past driveways, so the gate can scoop up the extra snow and leave it on the other side. Gates have been used successfully in rural areas, and the department has heard “great reviews” from people who live in rural areas, Abbas explained to the Bend City Council Nov. 20.

“We can’t drop it down and go for a long time [blocks or miles]… but we think it will be effective,” Abbas said.

“We’re trying it out in an urban environment: intersections, driveways, bus stops, mailbox clusters… anywhere where we can keep from putting a big old berm in those areas.”

Councilor Bill Moseley said the snow gate might be particularly helpful for older people and people with handicaps, because when they get plowed into their

homes, they get trapped. Some neighborhood associations have volunteer- and Good Samaritan-programs organized to help people dig themselves out, and resources and contact information is available at bendoregon.gov/winter.

“If we get those phone calls and we’re not able to sync up help from the volunteer program, we’ve got a couple of folks dedicated from day one of the storm. They’re in smaller pick-ups with a plow, snow shovels and snow blowers in the back,” Abbas said.

“This year we’ll be able to focus on that from the beginning, not after we’ve been plowing for five or six days.”

Abbas said the City provided funding for two more seasonal snow removal staff this year who will concentrate on clearing “no man’s lands,” like sidewalks on bridges, pedestrian crossings at roundabouts, and priority bike and pedestrian routes. Abbas has also been working with the Downtown Bend Business Association to encourage business owners to clear their sidewalks as soon as possible.

Last winter, the City approved a pilot program banning parking on certain streets (NW Wall, Bond and Broadway, for example) during a declared snow emergency, but never used it. If City Manager Eric King declares a snow emergency this winter, parking restrictions would likely go into effect at night for a 12-hour period or until the snow is cleared curb to curb, Abbas explained. The emergency declaration will be displayed on the

City of Bend home page. If cars need to be towed, drivers will not be charged.

Abbas’ crew will eventually roll out another pilot program: an app allowing people in Bend to watch plowing progress in real time. Redmond has one up and running, but Abbas explained the technology is cumbersome to launch because of the synching requirements between GPS and local geographic information systems. While it won’t be ready this winter, the department currently tracks all of its drivers and it will begin using a new software system this season to help move along the process.

This year, all contract plow operators will be assigned the same zone for the whole winter in hopes they’ll take ownership over the area. The department will send inspectors out early to catch areas that new drivers might have missed, Abbas said.

The major priorities during a storm are the main arterials through the city, Cascades East Transit routes and safe routes to the hospital, schools and businesses. Residential streets are cleared later, sometimes after the storm leaves the area, Abbas said, and the department can’t provide an estimate of when it will plow specific roads.

When a big storm hits, the department can quickly determine what else needs to be done from inside their “incident command center” where they have screens displaying zones, drivers and routes.

As the department prepares for another storm season, Abbas hopes people in Bend understand the importance of parking off the street when the snow falls, so plows can completely clear the roads.

“And we want to get the word out to be a good neighbor,” he told City Council. “If you know someone that is elderly or disabled, help your neighbors out.”

The City of Bend funded two additional seasonal staff this year to help with snow removal.

Ice and Snow: The More You Know Do you have to shovel your sidewalk? Do you have to carry chains? Here’s what you need to know before the next flakes fly

By Cayla Clark

C

ity and county officials have been hard at work all week clearing snow—but they’re not the only ones responsible for getting the job done. According to the City of Bend Code 5.35.020, snow must be shoveled and ice must be removed from public sidewalks within six hours of daylight after the snowfall (24 hours in residential areas).

Failure to comply can result in a Class B Civil Infraction in commercial areas, and a Class C Infraction in residential areas—though since it’s a complaint-based system, the only way to ensure your neighbor does their part is to remind them to do so—or to call to complain.

While clearing sidewalks is something of a bare-minimum level of courtesy, here are several other winter-specific laws to keep in mind.

Chain law: This law applies to all state highways. Posted signs either require drivers to carry chains in case of adverse conditions, or put them on before continuing to drive. Those caught without chains may accrue a class C traffic violation. (Those with 4WD or traction tires are exempt.) The Oregon Department of Transportation suggests practicing chain installation before traveling in the snow.

Studded tire law: Studded tires are legal in Oregon from Nov. 1 to March 31—and those caught using studs before or after this window will be subject to a fine of up to $200. ODOT recommends that studded tires only be used in harshly icy conditions; otherwise, they may cause costly road damage. ODOT also notes that winter tires are more effective than all other options, including studs and chains.

Driveway snow law: It’s illegal to shovel snow berms back onto the road if they’re blocking a driveway. ODOT suggests berms be shoveled to the side of the driveway. If they’re shoveled back into the road, the offender may be billed for removal (if the city gets to the excess snow first), or cited with a misdemeanor.

Sno-park law: Sno-Park permits are available through the DMV (and at several local businesses), and pay for snow removal at winter recreational areas. Those caught parking without a permit are subject to a $30 fine.

Snowplow law: It’s illegal—and dangerous—to pass a snowplow on the right when driving on state highways—and a car could get hit with rocks and other debris. ODOT suggests staying three car-lengths behind to avoid vehicle damage.

Pay attention to winter-specific laws – failing to do so could result in serious fines.

Impartial Judgement

Jill Rosell

A chat with Alycia Sykora, Deschutes County Circuit Court’s new judge 7

By Laurel Brauns with dramatic lawyers and divided juries, much of Sykora’s job as a trial judge is making decisions either before, after or instead of a trial. This could include decisions about restraining orders, child custody or sentencing orders for convicted criminals, for example.

“Part of the job involves making decisions that will make one or all the people unhappy,” Sykora said, noting that this sometimes happens in family cases involving children and divorce. “Those are some of the more emotionally challenging situations for people, because they involve intimate relationships and children.”

Constitution in the Classroom When she’s not on the bench, Sykora enjoys mountain biking, skiing and running, and she’s on a local indoor soccer team. She also volunteers for the American Constitution Society, coordinating presentations by local lawyers and judges at schools in Bend, Redmond, Prineville and Culver and “anywhere that a teacher requests a visit.” These “Constitution in the Classroom” events usually fall close to Constitution Day—September 17— the day in 1787 that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document in Philadelphia.

Sykora said that students particularly love to learn about the Fourth Amendment—the part of the Bill of Rights that prohibits unreasonable search and seizures.

“It is one of the most litigated areas of criminal law and it involves a person’s privacy rights,” she said. “For example, you have a privacy right in this phone

Alycia Sykora is Deschutes County Circuit Court’s newest judge, now holding Position Four in Oregon’s 11th Judicial District.

sitting right here, in your laptop, in your clothing, in your physical person.”

“Kids in school can identify with their privacy rights in their devices,” Sykora said. “However, the standard to allow school officials to search or seize is easier in a public school. This is not because people don’t care about kids’ rights; it’s because children have a state-mandated constitutional right to an education, and school districts have a duty to allow kids the opportunity to learn without substantial disruption by other students.”

Justice in Oregon One of the things that makes Oregon law unique is its leadership and independence in state constitutionalism, Sykora said. While many states just follow the federal constitution, Oregon judges have a saying, “first things first,” meaning they consider the state

constitution before consulting the federal document, if possible. Due to the Supremacy Clause, if there is a conflict in laws, the U.S. Constitution prevails.

Sykora recognizes the leaders in the movement that continue to guide Oregon today, including retired Oregon Supreme Court Justices Hans Linde and Jack Landau, as well as Oregon Court of Appeals Judge David Schuman.

“I have a deep respect for the independence and integrity of their leadership,” she said. “I would hope to continue the tradition that was set by judges who came before me.”

When asked if there were challenges to being a woman judge, Sykora concluded: “There are very fine women judges in Deschutes County, in the State of Oregon and certainly on the U.S. Supreme Court… I appreciate this opportunity.”

ome may wish they never had to be in the same room with her. For others, her decisions may set their lives on a better course.

Alycia Sykora—a civil lawyer in Bend since 2002—was sworn in as Deschutes County’s newest circuit court judge in November, replacing Judge A. Michael Adler, who had served since 1997.

“I have respect and appreciation for all the judges in our community, and all of my colleagues at the court, including non-lawyers,” Sykora said. “It is a profoundly busy court with many types of cases coming at a very fast pace.”

Sykora explained that despite rapid population growth in this area, the number of judges in Deschutes County has stayed at seven since 1997. State legislators may decide to add an eighth seat next year.

Sykora was born in Detroit, Michigan, and graduated from the University of Michigan and later, the University of Oregon School of Law. After graduation, she clerked for the Oregon Supreme Court and severed as an Honors Attorney for the Oregon Department of Justice. She wrote the book “The Oregon Constitution and Cases,” along with several chapters on civil procedure for Oregon State Bar Books.

Before she was interviewed and appointed by Gov. Kate Brown, several committees and the Oregon State Police did screenings. Sykora’s appointment comes in the middle of Adler’s six-year term, so to keep her judicial seat, she’ll run in the 2020 election.

LOCAL KIDS WEIGH IN ON LOCAL HOLIDAY GIFTS STREET INTERVIEWS WITH LOCALS CURATED BY CHRIS-T HODGEN

Well, well, well, Central Oregon... It’s that time of year again. Windshields are thoroughly, annoyingly iced up in the morning, asses have been bruised at least once (cuz someone(!) forgot to shovel and salt the walkway last night), and “Shorts Guy” has been spotted in his puffy, sitting outside of [insert favorite bar/pub here], pounding pints of RPM. But guess what else it’s time for??! Time to stress out(!), overeat(!), and obviously overspend on crappy gifts you found last minute, cuz you didn’t leisurely pre-shop throughout the year, picking up thoughtful gifts that you spontaneously came across that made you think of each wonderful family member and friend on your Christmas list.

Don’t we ALL aim to be THAT organized, THAT thoughtful, THAT nonprocrastinator-like?!! I know that’s MY brilliant plan every year. Yet, let me introduce myself. Might as well call me Last-Minute-Linda. Sorry, fam! OK, maybe I’m not THAT bad. My family can usually count on at least getting something semi-cool and handmade from me. Cuz while I’m definitely “Last-Minute-Linda,” I’m also crafty AF. Lucky them.

To help out the rest of you non-crafty folk, I took to the gritty streets of Bend to chat with a few locals and ask them about their holiday plans—from the memories to the gifts! Armed with an iPhone and a little insight into “what’s their thing,” I curated an array of gift ideas that someone might fancy giving to lovely locals, should they be lucky enough to be on your gift list!

And speaking of local... We truly have some amazing, friendly, locally owned shops in this little town (wish I coulda hit them all up)! So many wonderful shopping options; especially if you’re trying to keep your dollars close to home (which we should all be doing.. please tell me you are).

Not only are almost all of the the shops I hit up locally-owned & operated, but many of the goods are locally-made as well! VERY COOL. YES. ALL. CAPS. I also made sure to include some vintage goods. Cuz well, I’m a selfcertified thrift guru, vintage hunter and lover of all things cool and dusty and forgotten. Shine those babies up and let them live again!

As Live As It Gets

Moon Hooch has a new album coming in January, with each song recorded in one take

By Isaac Biehl Calabro Music Media

H

ave you ever thought about what jazz music would sound like if it was played by aliens in outer space? No? Well, Moon Hooch might be the closest thing you’ll ever get.

The trio of Mike Wilbur, Wenzl McGowen and James Muschler have pushed the limits of their sound to become a finely tuned mashup of jazz, funk and EDM. I spoke with Wilbur about the album the day before Thanksgiving, right after he had just finished reading George Orwell’s “1984.”

“It’s an amazing book, dude. You absolutely should go read it,” says Wilbur. “It’s not exactly uplifting. By no means is it uplifting in fact. But, it’s pretty accurate.”

Next on Wilbur’s reading list is a book from his bandmate McGowen before it gets officially released. Read the rest of our interview below.

Source Weekly: When you guys were first starting out, you would play on the streets of New York. How do you think that experience helped shape you as performers?

Mike Wilbur: Well, having to entertain complete strangers that don’t necessarily want to hear your music is a really good exercise in performance— because it trains you to not fully consider what the audience is experiencing.

And you kind of disassociate from them and totally dive into the music. But it also helped us recognize what people

you play to get people dancing?

MW: Mmm… “Nonphysical.”

SW: That’s a good one. I was going to say “Old Frenchman.” That one has a really good groove to it.

MW: Yeah, I was going to say that!

But then I forgot about “Nonphysical.”

Both of those are good.

SW: Like you said before about playing on the street, you’re pretty in tune with the art of reading the room and crowd. What goes into that when you’re on stage and what things are you looking for?

For those looking to get their groove on this week, the Moon Hooch show should be at the top of the list.

liked and what the majority of people would react to.

SW: Were there any moments when people were enjoying the music so much that you knew things were getting out of hand?

MW: All the time. Whenever big groups of people get together—especially intoxicated people, things can get crazy. There were times when people almost looked like they were going to fall into the [subway] tracks. We were lucky that didn’t happen.

SW: You have an album coming out in January called “Life on Other Planets.” From my understanding, you recorded each song in a single take.

What was that experience like?

MW: It was really fun. I think that album captures our live energy really well and it captures the most out of any album we’ve released. It also includes some improvisations from the live set that we haven’t really released ever.

SW: If you were DJing a party right now, which song off the album would

MW: It really depends on the night.

Some audiences are not very engaged.

That alone has to do with demographics and geography. So some places are more wild than others. But I do notice that if I’m really focused, engaged and energetic, then the crowd responds to that, whereas if I’m standing still with my eyes closed the whole time the audience kind of goes into that zone. Which makes sense—because like everyone’s there watching you and they’re kind of, in a way, mirroring us.

andolin Orange is good at making music. The duo tells great stories in its songs, pairing songwriting with a blast of strings that perfectly move each moment along. Its latest album, 2019’s “Tides of a Teardrop,” is an excellent example of this—and there’s no doubt that you’ll be moved at some point listening through the 10 tracks.

One half of this duo, Andrew Marlin, is making his way to Central

My Mom, Ma Boyle

For one Central Oregonian, she was more than “one tough mother.”

She was her actual mother, too.

brought that company back… she kept a lot of jobs for people.”

To know Boyle’s story is to be indoctrinated into Oregon lore. Boyle and her family fled Nazi Germany and eventually landed in Portland, where her father founded the company that would become Columbia. Boyle’s husband, Neal, eventually took over the company. During those days, Deggendorfer recalls how Boyle,

then a stay-at-home mom, was a de facto designer for the company, including designing a fishing vest called the Steelheader in the family’s family room—the first vest of its kind, Deggendorfer said.

“She was a person who even early on would always try to learn and do different things, with her reluctant children in tow.

Dear Stuart:

An open letter of support for a struggling artist Dear Stuart Breidenstein, We, members of the Bend Art Community at large, want you to know that we appreciate you. We want you to know that we have seen the many contributions you’ve made to our city and to so many of us individually. We know that without your ingenuity, civic mindedness and dedication to the advancement of the arts in Bend over the last decade, many of us would never have had opportunities to display and sell our work locally, or gather together and celebrate art and music at events like the $20 Art Sale, Last Saturday in The Old Ironworks or Craft-0!

We know that without your creativity, generosity and thrift, dozens of artists and makers would not have had studios to work in because places like The Workhouse, Bright Place Gallery, and 9th Street Village would not exist. Those of us whom you have taught or mentored in jewelry making, welding, adventuring and general creative thinking want you to know how truly grateful we are for your patience,

was throwing a fit. So even though she was a strong person, she still was a mom first.”

When Deggendorfer was in college, her father died, putting the company in Boyle’s lap. Pressed to sell, she pressed on. Along with son Tim Boyle, who took over as president in 1988, Columbia’s ad campaigns displayed Gert putting Tim through various humorous “tests” of the company’s products—the genesis of the “One Tough Mother” persona that lasted decades.

For Deggendorfer, that reputation had its complications. In 2013, Boyle was the victim of a home invasion and kidnapping attempt, which resulted in Boyle surreptitiously calling the cops on her assailants.

“After the kidnap attempt, she had to move to a secure building. She still worked every day, but she wasn’t allowed to drive anymore because those guys that were the kidnappers had followed her for six months,” Deggendorfer told the Source.

“That had a major effect on her. It was really downplayed in the media how badly she was injured—and they purposely kept a lid on it because they were so worried about that, ‘one tough mother’ she can foil you… we were worried about other people attempting that same thing.”

Still, Deggendorfer can still smile about the antics of that tough mother.

“The fact that she couldn’t drive anymore… probably the populace of Portland was happy, because she had a lead foot,” she chuckled.

curiosity, insight and generosity of spirit. Those of us for whom you have made wedding rings, custom pieces and awards want you to know how highly treasured those items are to us—not only for our own private reasons, but because they were handmade specifically by you.

We know how vital your contributions are to the people of this city and we are saddened and shaken by the closure of Bright Place Gallery and your impending departure from Bend— though we understand why you’ve made that choice. It’s painful and startling to see how quickly an artist who has given so much of themselves and their time

to developing a community, sacrificing their own craft and resources, can be shut out by expense and the tactics of others. It shows us how vulnerable we all are in the face of an economy that prizes profit over people, in a city where land values are becoming untenable and local art and artists are, if not devalued, often commodified as marketing tools to benefit tourism instead of as leaders and vital members of the community.

It’s rare to find any person, let alone an artist, so willing to sacrifice their time, energy and inspiration to the greater good of us all and heartbreaking to see those sacrifices undervalued.

We know, too, that as an artist, you understand that failure is not defeat. It just looks that way. We know that your inherent creativity makes you resilient and that this is just a part of the redesign process. That being said, we want to acknowledge that you’ve taken a hard knock and we see the toll this has taken. It is important to us that you know you are not alone—you have us. We believe in you we want to help.

Sincerely, Your fellow artists and makers, tinkerers and thinkers, students and mentees, fans and friends.

If you’ve been positively influenced by art or by Stuart Breidenstein through his many ventures- Stuart’s of Bend, Craft-0!, The Workhouse, Last Saturday, Bright Place Gallery, or the $20 Art Sale, you’re invited to support him in his next big project with fellow Artist Abby Dubief. They’re crowdfunding in the hopes of owning an art space where they can safely invest without fear of being priced out.

Their goal is $6000, but we think we can do better: let’s aim for $60,000!

athy Deggendorfer has made quite a name for herself in the town of Sisters, Oregon. She’s a prolific artist, founder of the Roundhouse Foundation— which supports creatives and fellow artists—and a major benefactor to the Sisters Folk Fest. She’s a wife, a mother and a grandmother—and also the daughter of perhaps Oregon’s most famous mother, Gert Boyle, who died Nov. 3 at age 95.

Boyle, known in ad campaigns as “Ma Boyle” and “One Tough Mother,” served as chair of Columbia Sportwear from 1970 until her death. This week, Oregonians will gather at Portland’s Veterans Memorial Coliseum for Boyle’s memorial.

If anything signifies the size of Boyle’s influence on Oregon’s culture, it’s perhaps that her family had to secure one of the state’s largest indoor venues to hold her memorial. A venue near the old Columbia Sportswear headquarters in north Portland wouldn’t offer enough parking or space, Deggendorfer said, so they selected the Coliseum, which seats 12,888. The family expects at least 5,000 to attend the memorial Thursday, which takes place from 10 am to noon.

“That’s what’s kind of weird—it’s that she’s your mom, and you think of the impact that she has on you and your family directly—which was huge—but for so many people, she really was an icon,” Deggendorfer said. “The fact that she stood up for herself as a woman in the ‘70s and

haring tea with Iraqis and Afghans was the highlight of Michael Montgomery’s 10-year military career.

“Afghan time goes slower,” Montgomery explains. “If you met an elder it would start with tea and take hours. You would talk about a lot of stuff before you got to business.” This process was about finding common ground, and is the inspiration behind the launch of Coalition Tea. Tea is one of the most universal beverages around the world, but it isn’t as popular in the U.S., where coffee reigns supreme. Montgomery, a Sunriver native, was a heavy coffee drinker until he had to make some diet and lifestyle changes. To replace his beloved coffee, he turned to the next best caffeinated beverage: tea.

Building downrange-inspired blends Having no experience in the tea business, Montgomery and his wife, Jen, needed help. They knew the Coalition Tea blends would be inspired by the tea he drank while deployed in Northern Iraq and Afghanistan—but it wasn’t until connecting with local Cindi Neiswonger of Inspired Leaf Teas that the vision became a reality. Neiswonger knew how to source and blend. Another helper was an interpreter from Western Afghanistan, who Montgomery worked with while deployed and who happens to live in Bend. He helped with research and is behind the Kashmiri influence in the Golden Kahwa blend of lightly spiced green tea that includes cinnamon, saffron, ginger and peppercorn. I could see

Real men drink tea.

why it’s called golden—but when I mixed cream and sugar into my hot cup of Golden Kahwa and stirred, the hue became lemon yellow. The Golden Kahwa flavor is bold but subtle; the flavors of the spices continued to dance on my tongue well after a sip. Adding lots of sugar and some dairy is how Afghans drink their tea.

Montgomery included, “they drink their tea super strong, with more tea to water.”

Elephants and tea Each package of Coalition Tea has a square sticker with an illustration of an elephant and the words, “Certified Elephant Friendly.” I asked Montgomery why that was important. “Tea farms are Lisa Sipe in the migratory paths of elephants,” Montgomery explained. “Some tea plantations use large electrified fencing and ditches or moats that can kill the elephants. Asian elephants are endangered. It’s a huge human-elephant conflict because everyone is just trying to survive, but there are people trying to balance this out.” One of those conservation-minded tea farmers is Tenzing Bodosa in Assam, India. NPR fans may remember reporter Julie McCarthy interviewing Bodosa last year. Bodosa discussed his move to a chemical-free farm because pesticides made him feel nauseated with headaches.

Coalition Tea is the brainchild of military veteran Michael Montgomery.

The clothes he wore while

spraying pesticides killed the fish in the water where he washed his clothes. He also talked about the wild Asian elephants that roam free on his organic farm, a decision that puts his tea pickers at risk of being injured or killed by the giant mammals.

Veterans and tea Montgomery hopes that the simple act of sharing a cup of tea can help bridge the veteran-civilian divide. The term “coalition” means an alliance for combined action; Montgomery describes it as “coming together, a unified group or force of people.” The shield logo for the company is a nod to Montgomery’s grandfather’s service during World War II in the China-Burma-India Theater.

The original insignia had a sun and star, but Montgomery replaced it with a tea leaf and elephant for the Coalition Tea logo. Since starting Coalition Tea, members of the Special Forces community have reached out to Montgomery to let them know they’re tea drinkers. He says this “helped him connect with other male tea drinkers,” since it’s not as common for men to drink tea in the U.S. In addition to the Golden Kahwa, Coalition Tea carries two blends: Mesopotamia, a lightly spiced black tea with chai roots, and the limited Krampus Holiday Blend. The holiday blend was inspired by the glühwein, a citrus spiced mulled wine served at Christmas markets that Montgomery remembers drinking while stationed in Germany. Tea purists may enjoy the Assam Black loose leaf tea that brews smooth and malty. Coalition Tea is found at Central Oregon Locavore, TeaBuzz Global Tea Bar and online.

Fermented Hot Sauce, Made #inBend

Probiotic drinks and supplements are all the rage these days—and now, two Bendites are bringing hot sauce into the fold. Drayson Helberg and Bud Torcom are the creators of Habit Hot Sauce, which is beginning to hit shelves around Bend. The hot sauce is made in small batches and is fermented instead of cooked—meaning the sauce, packaged in earth-friendly glass bottles, needs to be stored in the fridge. Ingredients in the first flavor—Habanero Hibiscus— include Merken, a rare spice from Chile, as well as organic and non-GMO peppers sourced from Central Oregon farmers.

While it’s not overly spicy, the flavor is delightful. If Caribbean hot sauce and hot wing sauces got married and had a baby, this would be what it tastes like. I loved it, putting it on everything that calls for spice.

The guys behind Habit plan to release a new flavor, Blueberry Habanero, sometime this month. For now, find the original Habit at several local restaurants as well as Newport Avenue Market and Terrebonne Thriftway… in the refrigerated section, of course…

Atlas Cider Launches Apple-Based Seltzer

Atlas Cider Company is branching out to a new product, using the same core ingredient featured in its ciders.

Avid lauched Seven Peaks Hard Seltzer this fall, featuring alcohol derived from Northwest apples. The resulting flavor is a bit more apple-y than other seltzers you might have tried.

Flavors include Raspberry Cosmo, Mandarin Greyhound and Tropical Smash—each sweetened and colored with natural juices, and with cans featuring the seven peaks of Central Oregon. Check out Seven Peaks’ Facebook page @sevenpeakshardseltzer for info on local athlete Emily Keddie’s “Seven Peaks Challenge” achievement— in which she ascended all seven peaks (Broken Top, South, Middle and North Sisters, Mt.

Brewery celebrates its grand opening and embarks upon a collaboration with The Ale Apothecary

By Heidi Howard

Courtesy Monkless Belgian Ales

Hearty tasting trays at The Brasserie made this writer happy.

E

arly last month, I enjoyed an awesome meal at The Brasserie by Monkless Belgian Ales. I’ve always enjoyed Monkless beer and had high hopes for the new space adjacent to the Deschutes River. I was NOT disappointed. During the grand opening, I had the Belgian Firkadellen—which are tasty meatballs—as well as a bowl of potato leek soup. It was so delicious!

I also obviously had beer.

Monkless has three curated flights to choose from, or you can create your own flight. I chose the Belgian Dark Strong Flight, containing Rochefort 8; Bernardus Abt 12 and Monkless Meet Your Maker. Keep in mind this is a flight for two! Three full bottles are provided to drink side by side. It’s a fun and unique experience to be able to drink three types of the same style of beer to compare them.

Belgian beers aren’t hoppy like your average Northwest beer. They’re more malty and tend to go toward clove and banana. Sounds like the three beers would taste the same then, right?

Wrong!! These beers are so very different. The Rochefort 8 is delicate for a Belgian Dark Strong. Its subtle tones and light mouthfeel make it a very easy drinker, even with a high alcohol content (read: don’t chug this beer or you’ll be sorry). The Bernardus Abt 12 has hints of raisin and a bit of a cola flavor to it, while the Monkless Meet Your Maker is malt forward and earthy. This flight had me smiling for days! I can’t wait to try the other two curated flights.

Another cool thing about The Brasserie is its historical influence, seen in the décor. The bar has tall arches

and mushroom taps—which I would hope to see all over Belgium. One wall features two stained glass panels that came from St. Francis School before it was turned into McMenamins. By far the most impressive piece is the chef ’s table, designed and built by Northwest Modern, made from a 200-yearold Ponderosa taken from Drake Park.

The table weighs somewhere around 3000 pounds. A light fixture above was created from the same Ponderosa and weighs only a few hundred pounds. The light is secured by four cables that are rated for 1400 pounds each. The chef ’s table is by reservation only, and Owner Robin Clement said reservations fill fast.

On Nov. 15, Monkless worked with The Ale Apothecary to bottle a new collaboration beer. The base of the beer is Monkless’ The Trinity, a Belgian Tripel. The brew process began in early November at Monkless and then was transferred to an Ale Apothecary barrel.

It has now been bottled to complete the fermentation process and should be available for our enjoyment in three to six months. It will only be available at The Ale Apothecary and at the Monkless Brasserie. I cannot wait to write about this beer. For now, though, I recommend checking out the new Brasserie. Enjoy some frites served in a paper cone and be sure to ask for mayo.

FROZEN 2: While not possessing the same charms as the original, “Frozen 2” is still another solid entry in the Disney canon. The songs aren’t quite as memorable, but holy heck, the animation is absolutely stunning to look at and Kristen Bell is a national treasure, so there’s still plenty to enjoy with realistic expectations.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema THE GOOD LIAR: I mean, a con artist movie starring Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren is kinda what movies are all about: watching brilliant artists create characters from the inside out and surprise us with a good story. “The Good Liar” is a bit ridiculous, but it’s one hell of a story. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX HONEYLAND: A visually unparalleled documentary about ancient beekeeping traditions in Macedonia and how that applies to life in the 21st century. Absolutely breathtaking and a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary. Tin Pan Theater JOJO RABBIT: A comedy about Nazis shouldn’t work. It should actually be offensive and kind of awful, but “Jojo Rabbit” not only works, it is one of

the finest films of the year. Heartwarming, heartbreaking and hilarious all in the same scene, this is a stone cold classic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub

JOKER: Massively controversial before it was even released, “Joker” takes a run at the origin story for one of pop culture’s biggest villains and gives him a soul. Not deserving of all the bile, this is a comic book movie that flirts with controversy while etching out its own dark territory.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX KNIVES OUT: “Clue” is one of the best movies

ever made and “Knives Out” makes it look basic.

With a perfect cast featuring Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Daniel Craig and a dozen more, this movie will melt your brain and then rearrange the pieces incorrectly. A new classic. See full review on p. 31. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub

MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL: I know it’s

cool to make fun of these movies, but Angelina Jolie is putting in the work to give a soul to one of Disney’s most iconic villains, and the visuals are some of the craziest and eye-popping ever put to film, so maybe popular opinion will change. These should be the high-watermark going forward for Disney’s live action movies.

to the Quick SCREEN Cut “Knives Out” skewers the 1%

“K

31 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 49 / DECEMBER 5, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

nives Out” is being marketed as a post-modern deconstruction of the whodunit genre—complete with a genius detective, a stacked cast of great actors and a plot so full of twists you might get whiplash from all the head shaking. Writer/Director Rian Johnson is such a cinephile that he’s incapable of making something that doesn’t at least poke fun at the strictures of genre, but more than being a clever riff on the nature of stories, he’s made a perfectly executed and wildly entertaining mystery.

The premise is a delight: Harlan Thrombey is a wealthy mystery writer along the lines of James Patterson who brings his children and extended family together at his country estate to celebrate his 85th birthday. In the morning, Thrombey’s body is found, an apparent suicide, but a Southern gentleman detective shows up determined to prove that it was murder.

Spread throughout the house are Harlan’s oldest daughter, Linda (a wonderful Jamie Lee Curtis), her Trump-loving husband, Richard (Don Johnson), their alt-right sh*t poster troll son, Jacob (Jaeden Martell), their spoiled and nasty older son, Ransom (Chris Evans, playing against type), Harlan’s daughter-in-law and lifestyle guru, Joni (a perfect Toni Collete), her liberal daughter, Meg (Katherine Langford), Harlan’s oldest son and publishing company CEO, Walt (a restrained Michael Shannon), his fragile wife, Donna (Riki Lindhome), Harlan’s ancient mother, Wanetta (K Callan) and Harlan’s nurse, Marta (future movie star Ana de Armas).

That is seriously a lot of knives to have out. People should be careful around that.

Each character has at least one secret, and aside from Marta they’re all fairly greedy and terrible people.

Daniel Craig’s detective Benoit Blanc is one part Hercule Poirot and another part Foghorn Leghorn, interviewing each family member and setting up a timeline for Harlan’s death. With such a fantastic group of actors all playing multi-layered and interesting characters, the film ends up playing less like a smug deconstruction and more like a classic throwback to films such as “Clue” and “Murder by Death.”

There are so many twists to the expertly crafted plot that to tell anymore would be cruel. Rian Johnson once again proves that he’s not interested in making movies that aren’t layered with meaning, just as he did with the Neo-noir masterpiece “Brick,” the time travel brain-melter “Looper” and his much debated “The Last Jedi.” Sure, on its surface “Knives Out” is an oldschool murder mystery, but there’s a lot to unpack about class, race and white privilege that most movies don’t have the spine to address.

“Knives Out” had the audience screaming with laughter and surprise and everyone was talking about it in the hallway afterwards. I don’t think it reinvents the wheel like the marketing suggests, but the film’s ambitions aren’t that lofty. When a film is as charming, surprising and lovingly crafted as this one is, what else do we need?

Surviving Winter

For transplants and visitors, a quick guide to thriving when winter throws out her worst

By Joshua Savage

I rarely went to the gym because I got a daily workout with my prized shovel. I quickly learned to shovel the snow before it gets packed down.

With a long driveway, shoveling may take too much time and effort. Last year, I had to pay someone to clear mine, but this year my new toy is a snowblower— not cheap, but money well spent. Better yet, get the neighbors to chip in and buy one together.

When the snow piles up on top of the house, a roof rake comes in handy.

No one wants a collapsed roof.

To avoid freezing pipes, disconnect outside garden hoses. Keep the cabinets open under indoor faucets and even allow them to slightly drip when freezing temps persist.

Prep the car Keeping a vehicle safe from the cold can be a challenge, especially without a garage. Waking up earlier to scrape ice from the windshield in the morning is a pain, but it’s a necessity. Our first thought was to purchase tire chains, but as most longtime locals know, an AWD or 4WD with good traction tires does suffice.

Keep the basics in the car: water, snacks, ice scraper, essential tools, battery cables, extra clothing, a blanket, a flashlight, flares and even a snow shovel for when the snow hits. You never know when you may get stuck or might need to help someone else.

This holds truer on a road trip.

Dress in layers Better to be overprepared and have too many layers rather than not have enough. A solid winter clothing kit should include a pair of sturdy snow boots, plenty of pants, some sweatshirts or flannels, a hat, gloves and maybe some thermal underwear. Then bundle up.

At home One of a new Bendite’s first winter purchases: a snow shovel. Last March,

Staying active outside Many come to Central Oregon to enjoy the outdoors—but before we moved here, I couldn’t tell you the difference between downhill and Nordic skiing.

With these types of activities comes expensive gear. I soon learned to shop for used items at stores such as Gear Fix, or yard sales and Craigslist. Shops like REI rent snowshoes.

33 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 49 / DECEMBER 5, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

M

any Central Oregon transplants come from warmer climates; sunny southern California, the dry heat of Arizona, or in my case, Memphis, Tennessee. Until last year I had never witnessed a white Christmas, much less the Snowmaggedon that hit in late February, or the lighter storm we got last week.

The cold, long winters and short days take some getting used to, often taking newcomers by surprise. While the snow can be entertaining, it can also be a wake-up call and a huge hassle.

Whether you’re already here or you’re considering a move to Central Oregon’s winter wonderland soon, these steps are going to make surviving winter a lot easier.

Joshua Savage

This noob's guide to winter is best read before the next big snowfall.

For those who aren’t into skiing (like my daughters at this point) but still want to spend time outdoors, there’s always sledding. Hills as close as Drake Park scream, “Slide down me!” Wanoga Sno Park, a short drive down Century Drive, has steep inclines reminiscent of the one Chevy Chase slid down in “Christmas Vacation.” If nothing else, you can build an amazing snowman.

Extra comforts A wise neighbor who’s lived through several Central Oregon winters suggested two things needed for winter

comfort: a wood stove and a jacuzzi.

With no other source of power, we rely completely on electricity. Our first Pacific Power bill stunned us, and soon, we will be purchasing a wood stove. Right now, the hot tub at Juniper Swim & Fitness or the hot pools at McMenamins suffice for a warm, relaxing retreat.

Central Oregonians are a hardy breed. The snow rarely, if ever, stops them from enjoying the outdoors or a local brewery, skiing across town or sending the kids to school. Last year was my initiation, and after surviving it, I feel I can adapt to anything!

The Bobcat Business

A tale of wildcat rehab—and catching jackrabbits with a chair tied to a Jeep

By Jim Anderson Jim Anderson

W

ay back in the mid ‘50s I was living in the Jones House in Bend, on the Hollinshead place. My pal and great helper in punishing raptor killers, Oregon State Police Officer Avon Mayfield, called and asked if I would go with him to collect a bobcat held illegally in a sporting goods store on Franklin Ave. The poor creature was an awful sight, shivering in a cage just big enough to hold a house cat, just inside the door to the sporting goods store. I immediately noticed someone had removed its claws, and it was not in a healthy state.

Mayfield was always polite, even with the worst wildlife violators, and this time was no different. He patiently informed the store owner why he was there and why the owner was in violation of state law prohibiting the holding of said bobcat. He then cited the owner and told him we were leaving with the poor animal.

Dean Hollinshead helped me build a wood-and-wire holding cage, 12 feet long and 6 feet high. I placed the bobcat in the pen with some big rocks and bitterbrush and waited for it to learn how to kill jackrabbits and cottontails by batting them with its naked paws— which took a lot of jackrabbits.

Luckily, the Bureau of Land Management had just seeded a new planting of crested wheat grass on its holdings on Powell Butte. My friend Ed Park and I had great fun netting live jackrabbits at night in those fields.

To capture these live rabbits, I tied a chair to the front end of my old flatbed Jeep. Park didn’t like this arrangement for catching jackrabbits, but I impressed on him that the Jeep was mine, and he was the helper—so he sat in the chair with a quick-release seat belt and a salmon net attached to a long pole.

A jackrabbit, when pursued, goes through a series of escape feints that most of the time work. Eagles, coyotes and such will get as close as they can, and just about the time they have the jackrabbit in their clutches, it stops in its tracks, makes a right or left turn or heads in the opposite direction.

I’d follow the jackrabbit and wait until it got those escape sequences out of its system. Then I’d quickly close in on it. Park would reach out with the net, snatch the rabbit off the ground and twist the net like he was trapping a butterfly. I’d come to a screeching halt, jump out, grab the jack by the hind legs and drop it into a cage. When the cage was full then we’d head home and call it a night.

One night I was having a difficult time getting close enough to the jacks for Park to net ‘em, so I released Park’s seat belt and said, “I wanna’ try something.”

He gave me a dirty look and said, “You damn well better be careful what you do to me!”

On the next jack I got as close as I could, waiting for Park to raise the net, and then jammed on the brakes.

He flew off the seat right on top of the jackrabbit and had it rolled up in a ball when I got to him.

After I got Park separated from the netted jackrabbit and put the jack in the holding cage, I was headed for the driver’s seat when Park stopped me with a firm grip on my arm and said,

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 49 / DECEMBER 5, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Editor’s note: Last week, we published an online-only story titled “Bobcat Bludgeoning Raises Concerns,” detailing the efforts by a local vet to change the rules around wildlife euthanasia. Right about that same time, Jim Anderson filed this story, which had a far happier ending.

Bobcats may look cute, but they do not make good pets and should be left in the wild.

“I got new rules, Jim. This time YOU do the netting and I’ll do the driving.”

The look on his face convinced me it was going to be that way, and sure enough, as I was reaching out to net the next jack, he hit the brakes and I was launched into thin air at the top of Powell Buttes.

I got the jack in the net, just as I hit on my shoulder and rolled up in the net. As Park was getting me untangled

he said, “You OK, nothing busted?”

I said I was OK, and he laughed in delight: “Oh, I love this! You keep netting and I’ll keep driving…”

It took almost a year for that animal to learn how to kill the rabbits and hares with just its bare paws by batting them into unconsciousness, but I eventually released it, healthy and hardy, near Cougar Mountain in Lake County.

37 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 49 / DECEMBER 5, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The recent cold snap across the area and shorter winter days mean Central Oregonians are more reliant on heating sources, lighting and electronics. With the shift in the weather, people become more aware of energy usage and are susceptible to higher utility bills. Even though Oregon has relatively low electricity costs when compared to the rest of the country, ranking well below the national average, it’s still a significant and necessary cost for homeowners of all income levels.

The average American household spends approximately $2,060 per year on energy for heating the home, lighting needs and powering appliances, according to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories study. This expenditure varies widely based on usage habits, types of fuels and the rate at which these are sold in an area.

The dollar cost of energy is normally not within a homeowner’s control—but the amount of energy needed and used can be.

It’s common knowledge that switching out incandescent light bulbs for more efficient LED bulbs can help save money.

Some have heard that adding more insulation or upgrading windows could help reduce energy bills, but how does someone decide which project is most beneficial or cost effective? As we discussed last month, one sure-fire way that property owners can verify their home’s efficiency and energy usage is to have a home energy audit or home energy assessment.

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Baby Got Backup I’ve been dating this really great woman for three months. She’s just decided that she needs to be single right now, despite our forming a pretty strong connection. She explained that she really, really likes me, but she’s never been single for very long and thinks it’s best for her at the moment. I can respect that.

She also says we can keep sleeping together if I want. I want to do that, but I’m wondering: Could that ruin our chances of having a real relationship again in the future?

—Wanna Play It Smart People give you a reason for their behavior. It may not be the real reason. Like, I’d tell somebody, “So sorry...got a work thing!” and not, “I’d shave off my eyebrows to get out of your 8-yearold’s oboe recital.”

There’s a good chance you’ve been demoted from boyfriend to emergency penis. Research by evolutionary psychologist Joshua Duntley suggests that we evolved to cultivate backup mates -- plan B partners we can quickly pivot to in case a partner ditches us or dies in a freak accident. Many or most of us seem to have a backup mate or two -- somebody we flirt with regularly or otherwise set up as our romantic fallback, though we aren’t always consciously aware of it.

Maybe you’re all, “Hey, fine by me if she wants to keep me as her sexual service department while she’s shopping around.” Maybe you’re hoping she’ll find other dudes lame in comparison.

Totally possible. But if what really matters to you is having a relationship with her, all that availability on your part is not a good look. The problem is “the scarcity principle.” Psychologist Robert Cialdini explains that we value what’s scarce or out of reach, fearing that we’ll lose access to it. In fact, the desirability of the very same person or thing often increases or decreases according to shifts in its perceived accessibility. (Picture Denny’s with a velvet rope and a scary bouncer instead of “Open 24 hours! Seat yourself!”)

Once your value is perceived to be low, there might not be much chance of rehabbing it. So it might pay to find other sex partners and give this woman a chance to miss you. It ultimately serves your purpose better than turning yourself into the man version of those freeze-dried food packs sold for earthquake or apocalypse prep kits: delicious like seasoned particle board

but just the thing while you’re waiting for rescue in the remains of your office building with nothing to eat but your arm.

The Truth Fairy My boyfriend recently proposed to me. I’ve gotten to thinking that if I’d never worn braces, he wouldn’t have been interested in me. I had a terrible underbite. I always felt very unattractive in regard to my teeth, lip, and jaw region until I eventually had this corrected years ago through braces. I constantly have the nagging thought that my boyfriend could do better -- that is, find a woman who is more naturally beautiful, more on a par with his level of attractiveness. Basically, I feel that my braces led to a form of unnatural beauty, a kind of cheating, and I don’t deserve him.

—Distressed Though some men are put off by fake breasts, it’s unlikely that anybody will find Amy Alkon corrective dental work a vile form of deception, like you’re the Bernie Madoff of the perfect smile.

Research in “dental anthropology” (who knew?!) by Peter Ungar, Rachel Sarig, and others suggests the cause of your underbite could be genetic -- or it could be environmental (perhaps deficiencies in maternal nutrition during pregnancy). Sorry. I was hoping for something a little more definitive, too.

Might you and your fiance have a kid with a funky bite? Sure. But unlike in ancestral human societies, we live in a world teeming with orthodontists.

Just look for the “STR8TEETH” and “SMILEDOC” plates on cars that cost as much as a small, slightly used private jet.

Allay your fears by being honest: Tell your fiance that you got braces to correct a really bad underbite. A dude who’s attracted to the way you look now is unlikely to dump you upon learning about your supposedly sordid orthodontic history. Looks are vital for attraction, but they’re just part of what matters. A massive cross-cultural survey by evolutionary psychologist David Buss finds that men, like women, prioritize kindness and intelligence in a partner. In fact, these are men’s and women’s top asks. And these are things that can’t be engineered with $7K in oral railroad tracks and years spent covering your mouth when you laugh lest those tiny rubber bands shoot across the room and put out somebody’s eye.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): How did

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It is the soul’s duty to be loyal to its own desires,” wrote Capricorn author Rebecca West. “It must abandon itself to its master passion.” That’s a high standard to live up to! But then you Capricorns have substantial potential to do just that: become the champions of devoting practical commitment to righteous causes. With that in mind, I’ll ask you: How are you doing in your work to embody the ideal that Rebecca West articulated? Is your soul loyal to its deepest desires? Has it abandoned itself to its master passion? Take inventory—and make any corrections, if necessary.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I would never try to talk you into downplaying or denying your suffering. I would never try to convince you that the pain you have experienced is mild or tolerable or eminently manageable. Who among us has the wisdom to judge the severity or intractability of anyone else’s afflictions? Not I. But in the coming months, I will ask you to consider the possibility that you have the power—perhaps more than you realize—to diminish your primal aches and angst.

I will encourage you to dream of healing yourself in ways that you have previously imagined to be impossible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “You owe it to us all to get on with what you’re good at,” wrote Piscean poet W. H. Auden. In other words, you have a responsibility to develop your potential and figure out how to offer your best gifts. It’s not just a selfish act for you to fulfill your promise; it’s a generous act of service to your fellow humans. So how are you doing with that assignment, Pisces? According to my analysis, you should be right in the middle of raising your efforts to a higher octave; you should be discovering the key to activating the next phase of your success—which also happens to be the next phase of your ability to bestow blessings on others.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Nobody knows really what they’re doing,” says Aries comedian Conan O’Brien. “And there are two ways to go with that information,” he continues. “One is to be afraid, and the other is to be liberated, and I choose to be liberated by it.” I hope you’ll be inspired by O’Brien’s example in the coming weeks, Aries. I suspect that if you shed your worries about the uncertainty you feel, you’ll trigger an influx of genius.

Declaring your relaxed independence from the temptation to be a know-it-all will bless you with expansive new perspectives and freedom to move.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Creativity expert Roger von Oech tells us, “Everyone has a ‘risk muscle.’ You keep it in shape by trying new things.

If you don’t, it atrophies. Make a point of using it at least once a day.” Here’s what I’ll add to his advice.

If your risk muscle is flabby right now, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to whip it into better shape. Start with small, modest risks, and gradually work your way up to bigger and braver ones. And what should you do if your risk muscle is already well-toned? Dream and scheme about embarking on a major, long-term venture that is the robust embodiment of a smart gamble.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Many people engage in laughably feeble attempts to appear witty by being cynical—as if by exuding sardonic irony

and sneering pessimism they could prove their mettle as brilliant observers of modern culture.

An example is this lame wisecrack from humorist David Sedaris: “If you’re looking for sympathy you’ll find it between s--- and syphilis in the dictionary.” I bring this to your attention in the hope of coaxing you to avoid indulging in gratuitous pessimism during the coming weeks. For the sake of your good health, it’s important for you to be as open-minded and generous-spirited as possible.

And besides that, pessimism will be unwarranted.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “You can shop online and find whatever you’re looking for,” writes pundit Paul Krugman, “but bookstores are where you find what you weren’t looking for.”

That’s a good principle to apply in every area of your life. It’s always smart to know exactly what you need and want, but sometimes—like now— it’s important that you put yourself in position to encounter what you need and want but don’t realize that you need and want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Bachianas Brasileiras is a nine-part piece of music that blends Brazilian folk music with the compositional style of Johann Sebastian Bach. The poet Anne Sexton relied on it, letting it re-play ceaselessly during her long writing sessions. My painter friend Robin sometimes follows a similar method with Leonard Cohen’s album Ten New Songs, allowing it to cycle for hours as she works on her latest masterpiece. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to select a new theme song or collection of theme songs to inspire your intense efforts in behalf of your labors of love in the coming weeks. It’s a favorable time to explore the generative power of joyous, lyrical obsession.

the adult alternative

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I’ve spent my life butting my head against other people’s lack of imagination,” mourned Virgo musician Nick Cave, who’s renowned for his original approach to his craft. I’m bringing this to your attention because I suspect you will be endowed with an extra fertile imagination in the coming weeks. And I would hate for you to waste time and energy trying to make full use of it in the presence of influences that would resist and discourage you. Therefore, I’ll cheer you on as you seek out people and situations that enhance your freedom to express your imagination in its expansive glory.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A scholar counted up how often the Bible delivers the command “Fear not!” and “Don’t be afraid!” and similar advice. The number was 145. I don’t think that approach to regulating behavior works very well. To be constantly thinking about what you’re not supposed to do and say and think about tends to strengthen and reinforce what you’re not supposed to do and say and think about. I prefer author Elizabeth Gilbert’s strategy. She writes, “I don’t try to kill off my fear. I make all that space for it. Heaps of space. I allow my fear to live and breathe and stretch out its legs comfortably. It seems to me the less I fight my fear, the less it fights back.” That’s the method I recommend for you, Libra—especially in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Isaac Newton (1642–1726) was one of history’s most influential scientists and a key contributor to physics, astronomy, mathematics, and optics. His mastery of the nuances of human relationships was less developed, however. He had one close friendship with a Swiss mathematician, though he broke it off abruptly after four years. And his biographers agree that he never had sex with another person.

What I find most curious, however, is the fact that he refused to even meet the brilliant French philosopher Voltaire, who reached out to him and asked to get together. I trust you won’t do anything like that in the coming weeks, Scorpio. In fact, I urge you to be extra receptive to making new acquaintances, accepting invitations, and expanding your circle of influence.

humans figure out that a luxurious fabric could be made from the cocoons of insect larvae? Ancient Chinese sage Confucius told the following story. One day in 2460 B.C., 14-year-old Chinese princess Xi Ling Shi was sitting under a mulberry tree sipping tea. A silk worm’s cocoon fell off a branch and landed in her drink. She was curious, not bothered. She unrolled the delicate structure and got the idea of using the threads to weave a fabric. The rest is history. I foresee a silk-worm’scocoon-falling-in-your-cup-of-tea type of event in your future, Sagittarius. Be alert for it.

Congress takes historic step to full legalization; OLCC affirms right to ban adulterants WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / DECEMBER 5, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Could national legalization be ahead?

By Jeremy Dickman

F

or the first time in U.S. history, a congressional committee approved a sweeping reform bill that would remove marijuana from the Drug Enforcement Agency’s Controlled Substances list, effectively creating coast-to-coast legalization. The bill would also expunge convictions for a number of marijuana-related crimes and re-invest funds—through a tax on the legal cannabis industry— into communities hardest hit by the drug war.

The House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), approved the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement Act by a 24-10 bipartisan vote. The 24 yes votes included only two Republicans. This isn’t exactly a harbinger of hope for a bill that, even if it passes the House, would be on a collision course with a GOP-controlled Senate, helmed by a Majority Leader with a bizarre personal investment in gridlock.

For all the progress made with marijuana legislation in the past decade—zero people lived in states where casual marijuana use was legal seven years ago—90 million people live in such states today. Yet, an outsized number of black and brown people continue to be barred from the burgeoning industry. Decades of prohibition has made capital hard to come by for marijuana startups, and even more so for people of color. Prior felony drug convictions are a legal barrier to entry into marijuana licensure, and black and brown people are nearly four times as likely to be arrested and charged for marijuana crimes, despite actual usage and illegal sales rates that are roughly on par with white people, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

In an effort to address this, the MORE Act includes a provision providing funding from the Small Business Administration for minority-owned and small cannabis businesses. Fewer than one-fifth of all cannabis businesses in the country are owned by non-whites, and Oregon is no exception. As a cannabis industry lawyer, I counted about as many solar eclipses in Central Oregon as I saw people of color even pursuing a production, retail, or processing license.

The bill was introduced by Nadler, and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), a 2020 candidate for president, who recently dropped out of the race. With two-thirds of Americans currently supporting full legalization, according to a 2019 Gallup poll, it’s not a

common theme on the Democratic campaign trail.

While some lawmakers are working to make marijuana legal, state and federal agencies are scrambling to keep it safe. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Nov. 8 announced that Vitamin E acetate is a likely culprit in the vape-related lung illnesses suffered by more than 2,000 people nationwide, including 42 deaths. Two in Oregon.

The CDC conducted a test of vaping-product samples across 10 states from 29 afflicted patients. While either nicotine or THC were found in most of the samples, Vitamin E acetate was the common denominator in all 29 samples.

In light of this, on Nov. 21 the Oregon Liquor Control Commission affirmed its ability to ban “adulterants” in marijuana products. (Adulterants are defined by OLCC rules as “a foreign, inferior, poisonous or deleterious ingredient or substance that renders the marijuana item injurious to health.”) This would appear to include Vitamin E acetate.

The CDC said that more studies are needed, and it’s impossible to rule out other chemical compounds or adulterants as suspects. Still, this is the first potential toxin identified by any government agency since the crisis began.

In addition to banning Vitamin E acetate and being on the lookout for other adulterants, OLCC Executive Director Steve Marks announced that the agency is in discussions with the Oregon legislature to establish a state-run “reference lab” for marijuana testing. For now, the OLCC relies on test results from private licensee laboratories.

In order to determine the ultimate cause, the CDC and public health agencies need samples of vaping products, and afflicted patients won’t always have samples available for testing (or they may be reluctant to provide them if they believe there’s a potential legal consequence to doing so). Even if a patient does supply a sample, the sheer number of government agencies, hospitals and laboratories across the country all need to coordinate their findings.

This isn’t a lickety-split process.

In the meantime, don’t panic, but don’t forget that caveat emptor (vaper beware) has endured for a reason. Don’t vape what doesn’t come from an OLCC dispensary. If that’s not enough caution for you, simply burn one down instead.
