n late summer and early fall, when “homeless consultant” Kevin Dahlgren submitted his purported “Point in Time” count, local service providers and some members of the public were already concerned. Not only did the report skew widely from the counts and reports compiled by a host of service providers and volunteers during the more formal Point in Time Count, but with Dahlgren’s reportedly overblown statistics about drug use among the houseless population, and his emphasis on the number of people experiencing homelessness in the area who were “not from here,” it began to look like Dahlgren had been hired by the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office to craft a narrative that would support efforts to criminalize and dehumanize the houseless population in the area.

The notion of using public funds to help the sheriff craft a narrative was bad enough. Then the situation got worse.

Cops arrested Dahlgren in Multnomah County at the end of October, accusing him of theft, gross misconduct and identity theft connected to his work as a “homeless consultant” in Gresham, Oregon. These allegations are levied against the same guy who has repeatedly claimed it’s his mission to disrupt the “homeless industrial complex.”

What irony, since it appears he’s profited from the “complex” more than most.

Here in Deschutes County, Dahlgren’s contract with DCSO was abruptly ended at the end of August, when deputies reportedly got wind of his troubles in the Portland metro area.

By that time, however, he’d taken some $18,000 in contracted funds for his shoddy report – and that’s not to mention any per diem costs Dahlgren may have incurred on taxpayers’ dime.

We’ve filed a public records request to determine how much more in county dollars the king of “poverty porn” might have racked up in expenses here in Deschutes County.

All of this could, in theory, be chalked up to ignorant folly on the part of Sheriff Shane Nelson and some of his deputies. They can point to his abrupt dismissal in late August as proof of trying to do the right thing. Absent any whiff of illegal action by Dahlgren in Deschutes County, the whole mess may simply fade into the background, with taxpayers unhappy yet unable to recoup the $18,000-plus-per-diem costs that Dahlgren racked up here. And yet right around the same time he was inking a deal with Dahlgren, Nelson asked the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners for an increase in the DCSO budget. The past may be the past, but going forward, the county commission needs to prioritize more oversight and accountability from the sheriff’s office – including paying heed to where exactly funds are being spent.

Soon, there will be a literal “new sheriff in town.” Nelson is not running for the seat again, and two current employees of the DCSO have announced plans to run for sheriff in 2024. While the two candidates do not appear to march in lockstep, both have been employed and have operated under Nelson, around whom a legacy of corruption has hung in the air.

The public has a role to play in ensuring accountability and oversight for the sheriff’s office – but it’s essential that the county commissioners do so, too.

The sheriff works for all of us, but county commissioners Patti Adair, Phil Chang and Tony DeBone have the power to demand that the new person comes correct, tries to work in tandem – rather than at odds — with the rest of the hard-working people addressing homelessness in the area, and perhaps most importantly, doesn’t spend our hard-earned tax dollars on useless efforts like the one that just happened with Dahlgren.

Arnold Canal Piping Moves Along After Dismissal of Lawsuit A judge dismissed the lawsuit filed against Arnold Irrigation District, letting the district continue construction on piping a 12-mile canal in southeast Bend

O

n Oct. 27, a federal district court judge dismissed a lawsuit attempting to stop Arnold Irrigation District’s Main Canal Water Conservation Project, a plan to pipe a 12-mile canal.

The lawsuit was brought on by Save Arnold Canal, a group with concerns about the proposed piping project.

SAC initially filed the lawsuit against AID, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Natural Resources Conservation Service in 2022. The group alleged in the lawsuit that AID did not thoroughly explore other alternatives to canal piping and that the project violated the National Environmental Policy Act, the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act and the Administrative Procedures Act. According to the 2022 complaint, AID patrons argued the project would result in a loss of habitats surrounding the canal and a reduction of property values. The group was also concerned that the lack of water seeping into the ground would affect nearby trees and wildlife and aquifer recharging.

Save Arnold Canal, made up of Arnold patrons, began organizing in 2021, after AID released a draft environmental assessment, showing a detailed evaluation of the plan.

In July, SAC’s claims against the irrigation district were dismissed. In August, the federal court denied a preliminary injunction brought on by individual property owners attempting to halt construction of the canal piping project while the case was pending.

Plaintiffs argued in the injunction that “piping the Arnold Main Canal would eliminate a century-old dependence of seasonal water by local wildlife, vegetation, trees and aesthetic enjoyment by the residents of the canal.”

After the injunction was denied, the plaintiffs dropped their original lawsuit against the AID project, which then led to a dismissal.

Members of Save Arnold Canal declined to comment for this story.

The project will pipe approximately 11.9 miles of the AID main canal, which runs mostly though southeast Bend. AID claims that its main canal experiences, on average, 34% water loss due to seepage.

Piping the canal, according to a report from AID, will increase water supply for fish and habitat in the Deschutes River, increase the reliability of water delivery to patrons, conserve water, improve public safety and reduce District operation and maintenance costs.

Plaintiffs argued in the injunction that “piping the Arnold Main Canal would eliminate a centuryold dependence of seasonal water by local wildlife, vegetation, trees and aesthetic enjoyment by the residents of the canal.”

Sections of pipe are stacked and ready to be put to use carrying irrigation water through southeast Bend.

According to a press release, the Court determined that the piping project was a reasonable measure to provide water to its patrons.

AIC covers 4,384 irrigated acres, serving 646 customers in Deschutes County. It operates and maintains 39 miles of canals and laterals within the Deschutes Basin.

The piping project, underway as of Sept. 11, according to AID District Manager Steve Johnson, will cost $34 million.

The cost of lining a canal rather than piping it, a solution that some AID patrons said they found more sufficient

in previous reporting from the Source Weekly, would cost $40 million. Johnson said the costs mainly go toward construction, the cost of the pipe and engineering.

“The general rule of thumb we use for all the piping projects in Central Oregon is costing about $1 million to conserve one cubic foot per second,” said Johnson.

According to Johnson, the piping project will conserve 32 and a half CFS, a metric used to measure water that’s flowing in the river or taken out for irrigation purposes.

“We hope it’s less than that, but until you go out for bids and actually get the thing constructed, I don’t know for sure

what that final number is going to be, but we don’t think it will exceed $34 million,” said Johnson.

In August 2022, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service released its final environmental assessment finding that the AID piping project would not cause significant local, regional or nation impacts to the environment.

The project, which will be completed in phases, will conclude in April 2026. “We’re pleased with the decision, and we can just focus on getting the project done and not having to spend a lot of patron money for legal proceedings,” said Johnson.

Shepherd’s House Introduces Permanent Shelter in Redmond A new year-round shelter in Redmond will provide low-barrier stays to more than 40 people a night

By Julianna LaFollette he grand opening of a permanent, year-round shelter in Redmond saw a full house on Nov. 2, where locals gathered to celebrate and learn about the new Shepherd’s House shelter. The shelter will begin offering overnight stays on Nov. 15, operating from 6pm to 7am.

“This event today is a great encouragement that the community really wants to see this succeed and really wants to see us help people,” said John Lodise, the director of emergency services at Shepherd’s House Ministries.

Redmond’s Shepherd’s House has 24 single men’s beds and 12 single women’s beds in a separate room, along with three family rooms, two of which are large enough to hold a family of five. Guests at the shelter will have access to showers, laundry, hygiene products, a fully stocked clothing room and case management.

The shelter won’t offer day services until next spring.

“We will be intentionally seeking to help people with whatever practical basic steps they need to take forward,” said Lodise. “I'm excited about the ability to have people be here, to see them get all of these services that I know they struggle with.”

The Redmond facility is a low-barrier, walk-in shelter which will conduct intake in the same way as The Lighthouse, Shepherd’s House Ministries’ shelter in Bend. The opening of the Redmond shelter comes nearly three months after The Lighthouse announced it would begin construction on its shelter remodel this winter, forcing it to operate with only 50 of its 100 total beds.

Discussions around bringing Shepherd’s House to Redmond have taken place for many years, according to Lodise. “Finding a facility here seemed almost next to impossible,” he said. Shepherd’s House previously offered winter shelters in Redmond in a series of host churches throughout the city. In recent years, temporary facilities saw anywhere from 20 to 40 people a night.

“For seven or eight years, it was a winter shelter that operated often out of our church gym, other churches as well, so to have a permanent year-round facility is a huge win,” said Rick Russell, the executive director of Mtn. View Community Development, who attended the grand opening.

Julianna LaFollette

“I remember sitting in our church foyer having meetings five, six years ago, trying to come up with the funds just to keep the winter shelter open for that year, and now we’re on a whole new level here, so I think it's really exciting.”

Rural ADU Approval in Deschutes County

The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners finally passed new rules to allow rural ADUs in certain unincorporated areas

By Julianna LaFollette

D

eschutes County passed a new rule on Nov. 1 allowing rural accessory dwelling units in certain unincorporated areas of Deschutes County. Owners of eligible properties can begin applying for rural ADU permits on Dec. 1.

The goal in passing the ADU rules was to provide additional housing stock in the county, according to Kyle Collins, an associate planner with Deschutes County, given that there is an overall housing shortage in the region. “There’s been a lot of general emphasis from our Board about having this moved over the line,” said Collins.

The ADUs will only be allowed in areas zoned as “rural residential zones,” which apply to five separate zoning designations in rural Deschutes County. The zones typically exist outside of urban growth boundaries. In most of Deschutes County, properties are required to be at least two acres or larger in order to qualify to build a rural ADU. Inside urban growth boundaries, such as those in Redmond and Bend, ADUs are already permitted.

The County’s web page for rural ADU information has a four-step guide on the ADU development process, including a

Courtesy Deschutes County

set of steps regarding site research, site design, permitting process and construction and inspection.

The plan to permit rural ADUs in Deschutes County has been in the works since 2021. Allowing for this type of rural land use, which Oregon has historically protected for farm use, required the passage of two pieces of legislation,

including SB 391, passed in 2021, and SB 644, passed in 2023. Those bills laid out a set of guidelines that counties adopting the provision are required to follow.

According to Collins, most of the rural ADU rules follow those state guidelines, however, some specific alterations were made to the rules.

SB 391 authorizes a county to allow

the construction of one ADU within a rural residential zone, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, but doesn’t require a county to allow them. SB 644 amends requirements relating to wildfire hazard mitigation for the development of ADUs. Rural ADUs are not allowed in urban reserves, cannot be subsidized, cannot be utilized for short-term vacation occupancy and can’t be located more than 100 feet from the existing single family dwelling.

Deschutes County will hold a public information open house on Nov. 30 to discuss the application process, development requirements and how the ADU rules came into place. The meeting will be available to watch virtually or attend in-person at the Deschutes Services building from 3-4pm.

“There’s been a fair amount of public outreach going through this process, which we formally kicked off in 2021,” said Collins. “But we’ve done so, I think, in a relatively careful way that should hopefully provide additional housing opportunities for people while maintaining the quality of life that people in Deschutes County have come to recognize.”

Support for Students Who Learn Differently

Samara Learning Center offers support for students experiencing challenges in learning

By Armando Borrego

hether a child requires extra help in a particular subject or seeks an alternative to traditional schooling, Samara Learning Center is there to guide and support them every step of the way.

Samara Learning Center is an educational nonprofit in Bend dedicated to ensuring that each student's unique learning needs are met. With a mission to foster academic and social-emotional growth, this center was founded by special education teacher, administrator and researcher Heather Chatem after experiencing educational inequality for those who were neurodivergent.

“I have learning disabilities myself,” Chatem said. “I was diagnosed with hyperactivity at one year old… When I began my career in education and started getting into classrooms, I kept wishing I could help every kid,” she recalled.

“We specialize in providing education for the neurodivergent.”

At Samara Learning Center, administrators and educators acknowledge and appreciate that every child learns differently. To address this, the center offers a wide array of academic support services including day school, after school care, group tutoring and varying enrichment programs. “We are an official education alternative," said Chatem. "We focus on what can be called diagnostic teaching.”

With small-group instruction, teachers

and tutors create an interactive learning environment, fostering collaboration and peer support. “We’re much smaller, with a six-to-one student-to-teacher ratio,” she said. “Our school is very unique… we have a lot of one-on-one tutoring. But for the school itself, that six-to-one ratio is based on lots of research. Having this set ratio helps individualize the approach, guidance and tutoring for each student to find their success,” Chatem continued.

Championing an education that goes beyond textbooks, Samara Learning Center provides skill sessions and learning groups engineered to help students develop in social-emotional situations.

“We work on executive functions… we’re focused more on teaching the kids skills and qualities like perseverance and problem solving, we’re trying to help them find their own individual pathway to success,” Chatem said.

Understanding emotional well-being plays a crucial role in a student's overall success in the eyes of the Samara team.

Samara Learning Center has recently worked with local supporters such as Central Oregon Health Council and St. Charles Health System, demonstrating an active passion for improving the overall community as well as educating neurodivergent students. “Collaboration and being a part of the community is a big part of what we do. We refer families and parents to neuropsychologists,

speech language pathologists and much more,” said Chatem.

In addition to academic and social support, Samara Learning Center offers strategies and skills to help students develop mechanisms for learning challenges. “We want more people to be able to understand that those who are neurodivergent have a lot to offer the community — there’s a big focus and stigma on the negatives but there’s a lot of positives to being neurodivergent as well,” Chatem asserts.

Samara’s team believes in empowering students, allowing them to take control of their education and equips them with the tools needed for long-term success. “It’s important for kids to explore what they like to do,” said Chatem.

Inside the classroom, students’ individual desks sit playfully in rows. The overhead fluorescents light students’ finger-paintings and history projects, tacked on the walls with glee. Students work on math problems, spelling tests and produce original artwork over cut-out magazine pages. It truly is a diverse learning program that nurtures an academic, creative and social-emotional development that also fosters essential qualities paving the way for lifelong success. These critical attributes encompass proactive behavior, unwavering determination, self-awareness, self-advocacy and effective problem-solving skills.

omestic animals have been used in therapy and as emotional support companions for humans for decades, and for good reason.

“Interacting with animals has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure,” suggests a 2018 story from the National Institutes of Health.

“Other studies have found that animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost your mood.”

Those benefits extend to those with fenced yards and indoor plumbing, as well as those experiencing homelessness in the community.

The mission of the Companion Animal Medical Project is to “ease the burden on those experiencing homelessness or facing other debilitation financial hardships by providing veterinary care and supplies to their companion animals,” reads a description on CAMP’s website.

Johanna Johnson-Weinberg started CAMP in 2020 after seeing a need to help people who couldn’t pay for veterinary services. At some animal shelters, people could surrender their animals in order to get them care they needed – but then the animal would be put up for adoption to another family.

“To me that felt so backwards,” Johnson-Weinberg told the Source Weekly.

“There’s a lot of programs that are like that – in order for your animal to get care, you have to give it away or give it to someone else, and that just didn’t make sense to me. So, I thought, maybe if we could offer this type of assistance, maybe we could help people keep their pets.”

For Johnson-Weinberg, the mission was about helping pets, along with their humans.

“I centered CAMP around, how can we treat the pet and the person together — what do we need to do to support this family that’s experiencing crisis through compassionate and empathetic care?”

CAMP held its first clinic in February

Mosaic’s Commitment to Accessible Care

2020 at the Bend Methodist Church, where it quickly became clear that the houseless population was most in need of the services CAMP set out to provide.

“There wasn’t a program like us before — so I started one,” Johnson-Weinberg said. When the pandemic hit, the stationary clinic model they’d started with morphed into a mobile service instead. “We had to pivot to go outside, which was actually working toward our advantage because then we could really just go to folks,” she said.

Care for pets might include emergency vet care, spay and neuter services, vaccinations and wellness exams, pet food assistance, emergency boarding services and help with pet deposits — sometimes a financial barrier that stands in the way of obtaining permanent housing. CAMP volunteers travel around in a cargo van outfitted with the necessary supplies, making regularly scheduled stops in Bend, Redmond, Prineville and other parts of Central Oregon.

Volunteers help animals at a recent CAMP clinic.

CAMP has also recently begun assisting with adoptions. Pets may have a litter of puppies or kittens, for example, requiring the owners to either accommodate many new animals or to find safe homes. Currently, Johnson-Weinberg and other volunteers help to foster pets who need temporary or emergency care or who are eligible for adoption, but as CAMP grows, Johnson-Weinberg hopes to raise adequate funds for CAMP to lease its own facility.

“A facility will help us be able to short-term foster, take in and help rehome animals that owners have decided to surrender to us for myriad different reasons. We can start storing more pet food and supplies.”

Mosaic Community Health has over a dozen health centers in Central Oregon and continues to expand access to those in need

By Julianna LaFollette

A

local nonprofit is committed to making health care in Central Oregon more accessible, affordable and convenient. With seven health centers, seven school-based health centers and a mobile clinic that parks at a variety of local service centers throughout the region, Mosaic Community Health continues to increase its efforts in providing care.

Mosaic Community Health is a local health provider, offering services and support to people who need it. The nonprofit provides medical, dental, nutrition, pharmacy and behavioral health care for people of all ages. Between July 2022 and June 2023, Mosaic provided care for 26,000 patients.

The organization has several health centers across Bend, Redmond, Prineville, Madras and Sisters, as well as its mobile clinic that sets up at certain locations to offer convenient care.

“We try to make sure we are getting to people no matter where they are, and where the need is,” said Emily Boynton, senior development officer at Mosaic.

“We don’t want anyone to leave our clinic without the care they need and the attention and follow-up that they need as well.”

Mosaic’s nearly 45-foot van parks at community organizations, providing frequent services at locations such as The Lighthouse and Family Kitchen in Bend. The truck acts as a mobile clinic offering total care to individuals, complete with a waiting room, medical services and resources and a private, enclosed exam room.

The mobile clinic is loaded with hygiene and health products, given out to customers for free. The schedule for the mobile clinic is set every two weeks, according to Boynton, and can be found on Mosaic’s website or through social services.

“We really rely heavily upon our partnerships in the community. Those kinds of nonprofits are really essential in order to spread the word about all the resources,” said Boynton. “Coming together in one spot so that we can provide those resources is important.”

Mosaic is looking to expand beyond the mobile clinic to reach more people, wherever they may call home. “We’re branching out to more of a street medicine outreach program, where we take our backpacks and get out there and find people in the community,” said Boynton.

The nonprofit started about 21 years ago with its first clinic in Prineville. After seeing a growing need in the community, Mosaic’s leaders quickly expanded into Bend and Madras, where they’ve been for 15 years.

The organization continues to adjust and expand its operations every year.

In 2020, Mosaic opened its first retail pharmacy, which helps anyone, including those who aren’t Mosaic patients.

In addition to its health centers, pharmacies and mobile clinic, Mosaic also has several school-based health centers, offering care for children up to 18 years old on school grounds. In October, the Sisters health center expanded its operations from two to four days a week, in partnership with St. Charles Health System and Deschutes County.

Mosaic accepts all insurance, including commercial insurance. Some 80% of their patients are either on Medicaid, Medicare or are uninsured.

“I’ve been working in nonprofit for 15 years now, over 15 years, and I’ve never seen this kind of daily impact on people’s lives, a really lasting and changing on their lives, too. It’s very inspiring,” Boynton said.

Sitting down to de-mystify the science of songwriting with local genre-breaking all-woman rock group, Not Your Ex Lover

13

By Armando Borrego James Applewhite Gilchrist

MONT H & ANN LY U PASS AL ES Not Your Ex Lover pulls from genres such as post-punk, death metal, alt-rock, screamo, New York indie, Latin rock and disco punk.

“

T

hese are my sisters, my best friends.” Kourtni Diva, Not Your Ex Lover’s lead singer and lyricist, said of the band. “They know what’s going on in my life in my songs. That’s why I write them,” she joked. “I’m never nervous to show them things. It's always about what could work for the band.”

On perhaps what was Bend’s last cloud-free day for months, I met with the local rock band for some expert opinions on the art of songwriting.

Julia Canales, the band’s lead guitar player, sees the craft as a noticeably collaborative process with her bandmates.

“I think that it definitely shows up in the songs. When we do start to put our parts together, we have such different musical backgrounds, but we also have those few that all of us have really pulled inspiration from,” Canales said.

Bassist Alyssa Reyes, a.k.a “Reya” had nothing but praise to heap on her fellow musicians. “Kourtni is a prolific songwriting queen. There was this month where she pumped out something like 10 songs. It’s stuff that's in her mind and on her heart and the ones we pick up and prioritize as a group are the ones that really speak to all of us,” she said.

The band agrees that a healthy appreciation and sense of its own work has been the difference in the creative process. And they’ve been touched by the level of love and excitement songs have received at recent shows.

“The most exciting thing for me recently, is that I’ve had younger girls come up and ask me for advice or ideas on the guitar,” Canales recalled. “I've been a musician for a while, but I've

never been received this way. That’s been really impactful,” she continued.

“There’s a reason everybody likes us,” Diva said, the sunlight bouncing off her facial glitter making her eyes sparkle more than they already were. “Thirty-year-old women like us because our music is relatable to what they're going through. Old men like us because we’re hot. Young women like us because we’re something to aspire to. I think we have something for everyone,” Diva remarked.

“Genre has been on our mind lately,” Diva continued, “...Kiki mentioned some bands the other day that are post-punk and we all agreed that the influence is there, but it’s not what we are,” she said.

Kiki Castro, Not Your Ex Lover’s snare-tearing drummer, summed up her influences rather succinctly.

“Long as it's not country. I cannot stand that shit.” Castro laughed.

For her influences, Diva lists Paramore and Good Charlotte and isn’t afraid to acknowledge being a “Swiftie.”

“Taylor Swift is a big lyrical influence for me… If you like our music, you like Taylor Swift. Even if you don’t know,” Diva offered.

“Now you know,” Reyes chimed.

Moving to another topic, a vote is taken on albums versus singles. Threefourths of the outfit agree that albums are more than worth the listen, except for Caneles who insists that it depends on the artist whether or not she’ll commit the time.

“There’s a reason artists put their albums together the way they do and we should respect that. F*ck the shuffle button,” Diva stated.

A

number of years back I created this section of the paper, called Gung Ho for Shows, to give us yet another place to talk about music, upcoming shows and all things glorious about creativity and sound. This week, I’m taking over Gung Ho to talk about one of my personal, favorite collaborations of the year: the Music on the Metolius series crafted as a collaboration between Sisters Folk Festival, the artist and filmmaker Teafly and me, representing the Source Weekly. The series started last year during SFF’s Songwriter’s Camp that takes place at The House on the Metolius in the days before the festival.

The premise is pretty simple: Bring the songwriters who are at the camp together to talk about music and songwriting and to play a tune or two that means something to them. On top of that, the talented musicians who’ve thus far taken part also, basically on the fly, write a little ditty using the words “Music on the Metolius.”

If you want an example of what impromptu magic – and baked-in talent – looks like, then just listen to Crys Matthews sing her rendition of “Music on the Metolius,” which she drummed

up in the time she had to spare in between teaching songwriting. Matthews’ lyrics include the line, “great rivers need great friends.”

Or try not to get chills when Olive Klug sings about traveling around the U.S. and the things they feel when trying to sing a song about America. Or, just groove a little while Grammy winner Alex Cuba joins forces with Seth Walker to jam out on the guitar.

Great musicians come and go from Central Oregon nearly every day of the year, and in this series, we make an effort to grab some of their magic while they’re with us, just for a little while. The result this year is four individual videos, filmed from a historic cabin on the Metolius River, with musicians playing and talking about the things they love.

I don’t know about you, but that makes me extra Gung Ho for Shows.

The Music on the Metolius video series will be available on the social channels of the Source Weekly and Sisters Folk Festival, and on SFF’s YouTube channel (and embedded into the online version of this story, as they come out) on the following schedule:

Nov. 13: Ep 1 - Alex Cuba and Seth Walker Nov. 20: Ep 2 - Crys Matthews and Olive Klug Nov. 27: Ep 3 - Handmade Moments and Goodnight Moonshine Dec. 4: Ep 4 - Griffin House and Humbird

Still, I’m not sure that I’m ready for winter again already, so in my own indoor-cat sort of way, I’ll prepare for hibernation by plotting out the stuff I’ll listen to in case of/when I probably get snowed in and don’t wanna/can’t possibly escape. So, instead of writing about the stuff I’m listening to or watching this month, I’ll instead mention a few of the things I’m looking forward to finally enjoying when I have enough time.

There’s just too much.

In Pod We Trust

I’m so far behind on podcasts that I feel like a bad fan. Prepping for the Bend Film Festival took away most of my free time, so I spent whatever time I did have watching the movies I needed to check out for review. I can’t wait to finally dive back into Marc Maron’s “WTF,” which I haven’t heard a new episode of since his interview with Paul Schrader in May. For those counting, that’s an insane 49 missing episodes, including interviews with Joan Baez, Les Claypool and Cillian Murphy that I’m ridiculously excited to finally hear.

I also fell behind on “Revisionist History,” which manages every week to be the most fascinating and enlightening history lesson I ever could have imagined. If you would have told high school Jared that he would be in love with a history podcast, he wouldn’t have even put down the bong to tell you how wrong you were. But episodes focused on topics like the Osage Murders (recently explored in “Killers of the Flower Moon”), futurism and the best way to do your laundry, “Revisionist History” will give new context to most of the things you thought you knew in life.

Now Streaming

There are so many shows I haven’t seen yet, that I’m not sure I’ll ever get caught up. I still haven’t watched the new Mike Flanagan Netflix series, “The Fall of the House of Usher,” which is ridiculous since A) Poe is one of my favorite writers and B) Flanagan’s last adult series “Midnight Mass” is an actual, perfect piece of cinema disguised as a television series. From what I hear, “Usher” is another deeply humanist and spooky creation from Flanagan and further cements him as one of the premiere voices of dark fiction.

I still haven’t seen the brand-new Netflix adaptation of “All the Light We Cannot See,” which I can’t imagine being bad since the book is so incredible. Would I have chosen the director of “Free Guy” to have made it? Absolutely not. But this one has my faith. Speaking of adaptations, I’m behind an entire season of the AppleTV+ “Foundation” series which I’m hearing is the best scifi show since “The Expanse.”

You all might judge me for this, but I’ve also never watched a single full episode of anything “Yellowstone” related. Not because I think it’ll be bad or anything, just because it looks

exhausting in its constant intensity and drama. Everyone seems to constantly be ratcheted up to a 10 and sometimes I just need a two.

New season of “American Horror Story?” Haven’t touched it. Harrison Ford and Jason Segel’s “Shrinking” still sits on my watchlist as does “Hacks” starring the great Jean Smart and the two most recent seasons of my current favorite romantic comedy on TV, Netflix’s “Starstruck,” starring the luminous and brilliant Rose Matafeo.

next? So that’s why we end up rewatching “The Office” or “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” for the dozenth time instead of something new and possibly groundbreaking.

If you can figure out how to narrow down all your choices more, let me know. If you can bottle that ability to choose from between 50 different things you want to watch, then you’re ahead of the rest of us who spend an hour trying to make up our minds and then end up just choosing something safe and easy.

Maybe our new year’s resolution can be to watch more new things. Or maybe it’s time to start another rewatch of “Parks and Recreation?” We’ll see.

Write it all down Write down the menu. Write down all the ingredients in each dish and make your food shopping list from that ingredient list. Make a timeline for the days leading up to your dinner. I know that may sound fussy but it honestly helps you stay on track and get things done without so much last-minute stress.

Shopping Tips | General Tips • Shop early, meaning don’t wait until the day before Thanksgiving to go to the grocery store. Shelves are often empty by then, plus, if you’re buying a frozen bird, that turkey needs time to thaw (one day for every four

• You don’t have to rinse turkey before cooking.

• Wait until after the first hour of roasting before basting your bird.

Then baste every half hour using the fat and other liquid in roasting pan.

• Use a thermometer to make sure the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees to ensure doneness. A 12-14 pounds turkey will likely take 3 hours to roast at 350 degrees.

Start by answering a few questions: Who’s coming to dinner? What do you want to eat? How much time do you have to spend in the kitchen?

Answering those quesod fo tions can help you plan your menu. You can find menu planning ideas online and in magazines or you can ask your guests about their favorite dishes. If you’re a novice, stick with a basic menu of turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, potatoes, gravy and some kind of vegetable.

Spending time really planning a menu is what can make a good cook. If you have limited time to spend cooking or you feel intimidated making an entire dinner by yourself, consider a potluck where each guest brings a favorite dish. If you go that route, it’s a good idea to talk amongst yourselves beforehand so that you don’t end up with eight green bean casseroles and no mashed potatoes!

pounds of turkey). If you’re buying a fresh one, you’ll need to order it in advance.

• Ingredients that take things up a notch include lots of high-quality unsalted butter, fresh herbs, aromatics such as onions, garlic and shallots, fresh citrus and heavy cream.

• Since Thanksgiving is about serving many dishes at the same time, it’s su Ru important to keep hot food hot.

Ways to do that include heating plates and platters before putting food on them and keeping a pan of hot turkey stock going on the stove to ladle onto sliced turkey and dressing. You can also use a slow cooker on “warm” for mashed potatoes or other vegetable dishes.

Make Ahead/ Work Ahead There are a few things you can make ahead of time such as cranberry sauce, gravy and desserts. You can assemble your dressing/ stuffing the night before. You can make vegetable casseroles in advance and reheat them in the oven before serving.

Of course leave the turkey and mashed potatoes to the day of, but so many other things can be prepared or at least prepped ahead of time.

Turkey Tips • Calculate a pound and a half of turkey per person (this should give you leftovers).

• Thaw frozen turkey on a platter in the fridge. Do NOT thaw at room temperature (plan on a day for every 4 pounds of turkey, i.e. a 12-pound turkey will take three days to thaw).

• Once thawed, a turkey should be cooked within two days.

• You do not have to brine turkey for it to stay moist. You can cover it with a dry rub or smear it with butter before roasting and still get a juicy end result.

• The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend cooking stuffing/dressing separately from the turkey.

Pie crusts and pumpkin pie fillings can be prepared in advance of the big day.

About that Pie You can make pie dough ahead of time. It can stay in fridge for up to three days and can be frozen for up to one month ahead. If you freeze it, thaw it overnight in refrigerator before rolling out.

You can make pumpkin pie filling several days ahead and store in fridge.

You can bake the crusts and make the fillings the day before Thanksgiving, then assemble and bake the pies before the turkey goes into the oven on Thanksgiving morning.

Freeze homemade pie crust 20 minutes before baking to help it hold its shape.

A Beautiful Table This is where you can let your creative juices fly. Depending on your own personal style, you may want to set a fancy, formal table or you could have the kids make fun placemats or decorations for a buffet spread. There is no right or wrong way to do this and that’s my favorite thing about today’s world – you can truly let your light shine and serve your amazing meal on your terms. Just make sure there’s plenty of gravy and big slices of pie.

If you need a little help along the way, there are so many resources in Bend. There are shops and supermarkets chock-full of everything you need from appetizers, meats, sides and wines to bakers to help you with the dessert table. Below are a few of our favorites.

T

he operators of the Terrebonne Depot restaurant in Terrebonne are calling it quits. Chefs Jamie and Evan Schwender opened their operation in the former train depot building in 2019, after first running a food cart in Bend and working in other area restaurants.

The two announced on the Terrebonne Depot website this week that they’d made the decision to move out of Oregon to be closer to their families.

“We want to thank our amazing Redmond and Terrebonne community that have supported us throughout the years,” the couple wrote on the business’ website. “We have met so many wonderful people during this time, and the hardest part will be saying goodbye to you all!”

Terrebonne Depot will be open under its current ownership through Nov. 19, with openings for private holiday parties open in the month of December.

The Terrebonne Depot is a historic building built in 1911 as a passenger and freight depot for the Terrebonne station of the Oregon Trunk Railroad. Its current owners overhauled the building in 2005, moving the entire structure 36 feet to put in a solid foundation. The building’s former block foundation was then repurposed into what is now the bar inside the restaurant.

hether you’re hosting Thanksgiving for the first time or you’re a seasoned big meal pro, this short primer of suggestions is designed to help you plan, shop and serve your feast to friends and family. It’s not a definitive guide, but more of a basic roadmap to help prep and plan the meal and still have time to enjoy the day.

From personal experience, I have come to the conclusion that most folks prefer traditional foods on Thanksgiving. In other words, regular buttery mashed potatoes will always be a hit.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t bring in a new dish or try a new flavor; just remember to make sure you have plenty of those perennial favorites for the traditionalists at the table.

Where to find vibrant autumn leaves igniting eastern Oregon’s waterways

Steens Mountain: Big Indian Gorge

N

Perhaps the most popular region of Oregon’s high desert to visit in autumn is Steens Mountain – and for good reason. Trees such as aspen, cottonwood, hackberry, chokecherry and willow put on a spectacular show, warming the banks of chilly waterways with autumnal tones.

While there are a multitude of impressive locations within the Steens to see fall colors, this is the perfect time of year to backpack into Big Indian Gorge and camp among glaciated gorges, waterfalls and hanging valleys. Almost immediately you’ll spot yellow cottonwood trees, which may be seen for miles due to their stature as our tallest deciduous trees, often found along waterways. In these riparian areas, it’s also common to see the colorful foliage of net-leaf hackberry, chokecherry and bittercherry. While earlier in the year chokecherry are white and floral, by the fall they’ve produced and dropped fruit, leaving behind salmon-colored leaves. However, you’ll undoubtedly find the brightest of fall colors if you look up – rising above the gorge, you’ll find quaking aspen on the higher points of Steens Mountain. Known for their delicate leaves that “quake” or tremble in the breeze, these beloved trees turn a striking golden yellow in the fall. Since they grow in dense colonies made up of several types of clones, you’ll often find a variation of color in a relatively small area, from bright yellow-green to orange and even rust.

Greater Hart-Sheldon: DeGarmo Canyon Waterfall The aspen groves that pepper the Greater Hart-Sheldon landscape of southeastern Oregon mean the fall season is particularly spectacular. Within the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, a particularly stunning area to explore is DeGarmo Canyon. Take a hike up the mouth of the canyon leading a short distance to a 30-foot waterfall lined with stunning, changing aspen. Adventurous hikers can continue up the canyon past the waterfall for more color and a chance to reach the 8,000-foot peak of Hart Mountain, or venture onward to the Hot Springs Campground to soak away sore muscles surrounded by fall foliage.

Central Oregon Backcountry: Lower Whychus Creek Against the rushing rapids and sultry rock bottoms of Oregon’s desert rivers, the transformation of autumn leaves is vibrant and crisp at the confluence of Whychus Creek and the Deschutes River.

Located just one hour outside of Bend, Alder Springs sits on the Lower Whychus Creek – a local high desert oasis. The trail starts at the top of the Whychus Creek Canyon and descends gradually to the creek, with panoramic views of the Cascades, towering rock formations and the rushing waters of Whychus Creek below.

At 1.5 miles, hikers reach Alder Springs, which is so large that many people mistake it for Whychus Creek itself. In the fall, you’re surrounded by dense, colorful vegetation alongside cool gushing water.

The creekside offers the cool shade of towering ponderosas, many rocks to enjoy a picnic, rapids to gaze upon, and additional hiking options should you choose to continue your exploration to the actual Whychus Creek or all the way to the Deschutes River.

Greg Burke

ighthawk Program Director and co-founder, Chelsea Ernst, studied ecology and herpetology in college before delving into the survival skill world.

After gaining over a decade of experience teaching naturalist skillsets for other businesses, Ernst and co-founder Tyler Doyle founded Nighthawk Naturalist School with an emphasis on making the connection to nature accessible and immersive for everyone. Nighthawk Naturalist School is now in its fifth year of programming.

The school offers programs for both kids and adults ranging from nature camps to survival immersion courses and the upcoming firecraft and fire keeping workshop on Sunday Nov., 12.

These kinds of naturalist practices can connect participants to mankind’s ancestors and the natural world.

“We all have this connection to the earth when we’re kids. Here in Bend, we’re in this outdoor community but out in the world and as we get older, I think we can get farther from that connection,” Ernst said.

“These are skills that all our ancestors have practiced and are the reason humans are still around,” Ernst laughed.

In modern times, fire crafting skills continue to be relevant for outdoor enthusiasts, campers and survivalists.

A fire-making workshop is all about hands-on learning. Participants get to experiment with different fire-starting tools and techniques. “There’s a few different methods that we go over during the class,” said Ernst. “The most challenging one is the bow-drill method; it's completely friction-based and it's pretty awkward to learn at first,” she continued.

Each method offers a unique experience, and the class encourages participants to practice until they've achieved mastery.

Mastering the art of fire-making begins with a deep understanding of the basics.

This class encourages creative thinking and resourcefulness, ensuring that participants are equipped to handle a variety of real-life situations. “I love people who are passionate about wanting to try something new, and have an interest in connecting with the earth,” said Ernst.

In many words: Things like the temperature dropping just slightly, leaves rustling on trees, flecks of red and gold peeking out from a sea of evergreens. They’re nature’s haptics stimulating our senses, bringing life back into the air and sending us invitations to witness the greatest show of the year, marking the end of smoke season. If you haven’t gotten this feeling yet, don’t worry, your invitation wasn’t lost in the mail. I’ll let you in on where and how to watch it unfold in Oregon’s high desert.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I recently endured a three-hour root canal. Terrible and unfortunate, right? No! Because it brought profound joy. The endodontist gave me nitrous oxide, and the resulting euphoria unleashed a wild epiphany. For the duration of the surgery, I had vivid visions of all the people in my life who love me. I felt their care. I was overwhelmed with the kindness they felt for me. Never before had I been blessed with such a blissful gift. Now, in accordance with your astrological omens, I invite you to induce a similar experience—no nitrous oxide needed. It's a perfect time to meditate on how well you are appreciated and needed and cherished.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Unless you are very unusual, you don’t sew your clothes or grow your food. You didn’t build your house, make your furniture, or forge your cooking utensils. Like most of us, you know little about how water and electricity arrive for your use. Do you have any notion of what your grandparents were doing when they were your age? Have you said a prayer of gratitude recently for the people who have given you so much?

I don’t mean to put you on the spot with my questions, Gemini. I’m merely hoping to inspire you to get into closer connection with everything that nourishes and sustains you. Honor the sources of your energy. Pay homage to your foundations.

guessed that elephants can play the drums really well? On a trip to Thailand, Scorpio musician Dave Soldier discovered that if given sticks and drums, some elephants kept a steadier beat than humans.

A few were so talented that Soldier recorded their rhythms and played them for a music critic who couldn’t tell they were created by animals. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that you Scorpios seek out comparable amazements.

You now have the potential to make unprecedented discoveries.

novelist Shirley Jackson wrote, "No live organism can continue for long to exist under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids dream."

Since she wrote that, scientists have gathered evidence that almost all animals dream and that dreaming originated at least 300 million years ago. With that as our inspiration and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to enjoy an intense period of tapping into your dreams. To do so will help you escape from absolute reality. It will also improve your physical and mental health and give you unexpected clues about how to solve problems. writer Kahlil Gibran believed an essential human longing is to be revealed.

We all want the light in us to be taken out of its hiding place and shown. If his idea is true about you, you will experience major cascades of gratification in the coming months. I believe you will be extra expressive.

And you will encounter more people than ever before who are interested in knowing what you have to express. To prepare for the probable breakthroughs, investigate whether you harbor any fears or inhibitions about being revealed—and dissolve them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): November is Build Up Your Confidence Month. In the coming weeks, you are authorized to snag easy victories as you steadily bolster your courage to seek bigger, bolder triumphs. As much as possible, put yourself in the vicinity of people who respect you and like you. If you suspect you have secret admirers, encourage them to be less secretive. Do you have plaques, medals, or trophies? Display them prominently. Or visit a trophy store and have new awards made for you to commemorate your unique skills—like thinking wild thoughts, pulling off oneof-a-kind adventures, and inspiring your friends to rebel against their habits.

an abundance of teachers helping us learn how to be here now—to focus on the present moment with gratitude and grace. I love the fact that books on the art of mindfulness are now almost as common as books about cats and cooking. Yay! But I also want to advocate for the importance of letting our minds wander freely. We need to celebrate the value and power of NOT always being narrowly zeroed in on the here and now. We can’t make intelligent decisions unless we ruminate about what has happened in the past and what might occur in the future. Meandering around in fantasyland is key to discovering new insights. Imaginative ruminating is central to the creative process. Now please give your mind the privilege of wandering far and wide in the coming weeks, Pisces.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): "Our bodies some-

times serve as the symbolic ground where order and disorder fight for supremacy," writes storyteller Caroline Kettlewell. Here's good news, Aries: For you, order will triumph over disorder in the coming weeks. In part through your willpower and in part through life's grace, you will tame the forces of chaos and enjoy a phase when most everything makes sense. I don't mean you will have zero problems, but I suspect you will have an enhanced power to solve problems. Your mind and heart will coordinate their efforts with exceptional flair.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian sing-

er-songwriter Suzanne Vega has had a modest but sustained career. With nine albums, she has sold over three million records, but is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She has said, "I always thought that if I were popular, I must be doing something wrong." I interpret that to mean she has sought to remain faithful to her idiosyncratic creativity and not pay homage to formulaic success. But here's the good news for you in the coming months, fellow Cancerian: You can be more appreciated than ever before simply by being true to your soul's inclinations and urges.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): "Everything in the

world has a hidden meaning," wrote Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis. Did he really mean everything? Your dream last night, your taste in shoes, your favorite TV show, the way you laugh? As a fun experiment, let's say that yes, everything has a hidden meaning. Let's also hypothesize that the current astrological omens suggest you now have a special talent for discerning veiled and camouflaged truths. We will further propose that you have an extraordinary power to penetrate beyond surface appearances and home in on previously unknown and invisible realities. Do you have the courage and determination to go deeper than you have ever dared? I believe you do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): How many glow-

worms would have to gather in one location to make a light as bright as the sun? Probably over a trillion. And how many ants would be required to carry away a 15-pound basket of food? I’m guessing over 90,000. Luckily for you, the cumulative small efforts you need to perform so as to accomplish big breakthroughs won’t be nearly that high a number. For instance, you may be able to take a quantum leap after just six baby steps.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the 17th centu-

ry, John Milton wrote a long narrative poem titled Paradise Lost. I’ve never read it and am conflicted about the prospect of doing so. On one hand, I feel I should engage with a work that has had such a potent influence on Western philosophy and literature. On the other hand, I’m barely interested in Milton’s story, which includes boring conversations between God and Satan and the dreary tale of how God cruelly exiled humans from paradise because the first man, Adam, was mildly rebellious.

So what should I do? I’ve decided to read the Cliffs Notes study guide about Paradise Lost, a brief summary of the story. In accordance with astrological omens, I suggest you call on similar shortcuts, Libra. Here’s your motto: if you can’t do the completely right thing, try the partially right thing.

Homework: What is the kindest act you ever did? Care to do it again?

TRAPPING • GASSING • RESULTS

I’m in the middle of a breakup with my boyfriend of three years. We’ve been having problems all year, but this happened after a sex fight. We never discussed it afterwards and didn’t get closure. I wanted to talk about what happened, how we feel and how we’re going to relate to each other now. I would like to be friends, but he’s been ghosting me since the morning I left his house. I don’t know why we can’t have a conscious uncoupling of this relationship. It’s been incredibly important to me. But instead we awkwardly run into each other on walks or at coffee. What should I do to make this better? It’s making me crazy.

From, Crazy Girl in Bend

D

ear Crazy Girl,

I hear you. This type of thing comes up for my clients all the time.

There are lots of reasons this might be happening. You’ve been having relationship problems all year. Maybe you’ve gotten into a toxic communication cycle that your boyfriend doesn’t trust. It could be that your communication styles are different. Conflict about sex is challenging. He may be hurt. He may have moved on.

In any event, if he doesn’t want to talk, there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it. I know this can be maddening, but it is the plain truth. You have to accept it and do what you can to take care of yourself.

Here’s what I recommend:

Use your self-help tools. Things like exercise, yoga, meditation or even hypnosis can be helpful after a breakup or communication problem like this. You’re wanting closure and you think that talking with him will make that happen, but what you may really be experiencing is grief over the loss of the relationship — the closeness, intimacy and communication. The coming days, weeks and months will be tough.

Take care of yourself.

Stop making excuses to see him.

Sometimes you’ll run into your ex. But, if you’re honest with yourself, you may have been doing things so you, “accidentally” see him. One day you might find yourself on the path when he’s walking his dog, but if you cruise the parking lot where you know he used to park near the river, you’ve gone too far. Be honest and make sure that accidental meetings are really accidents — not stalking.

Take a break from social media and if you can, delete his contact information. Before social media, it was easy to avoid hearing about a former

boyfriend’s date to the Halloween party. Now, his every move shows up on your phone or tablet. Do yourself a favor and unfriend, block or snooze his profile. If something really important happens, you’re likely to hear about it from friends anyway. You’ll spare yourself a lot of heartache by not seeing everyone “liking” his recent party post. And you won’t be tempted to chime in — hoping that he’ll interact with you again.

Realize that this may be the end of your friendship — but it might not be. It’s hard to know what the future will look like with him. You’re still new in this break up. Feelings are raw.

Take in a big breath and let out a bigger exhale. When the most tender feelings have passed, he may be open to talking to you about the relationship.

The good thing is that if you’ve taken care of yourself using these tips, you’ll be in a better head space to have that conversation down the road.

Find other outlets for yourself.

You don’t need to hook up with your first (or even 100th) coffee date, but it’s a good idea to start looking for other activities for yourself. I know that it feels impossible to move on, but it’s healthy to seek out other people to hang out with and things to do. Get yourself back to your neighborhood book club, invite people for brunch. Do something new. Life is short. Try to enjoy yourself.

I get it that this is difficult. But, you got this.

New Home Next Year lower your interest rate. New construction builders are currently offering incentives to attract buyers, so it's worthwhile to consult with your Realtor about these opportunities.

Affordable Housing Initiatives Bend offers several fantastic opportunities for first-time buyers through local affordable housing organizations.

Programs by Rooted Homes, Thistle & Nest and Habitat for Humanity aim to create homeownership possibilities for households at or below the area's median income. Many of these organizations conduct lottery home reservations, making land-lease homes an affordable option for ownership.

Think Outside the Box If you have your heart set on homeownership but find your dream home financially out of reach, consider alternative paths to property ownership: 1. Co-Buying: Partner with a friend to jointly purchase a property, making it more affordable for both parties.

2. House Hacking: Buy a house and rent out a room to help cover your mortgage, then sell it after two years with the equity you've built up.

3. Manufactured Homes: Explore the option of purchasing a manufactured home in your desired area, typically at a lower price point.

4. Turn-Key Properties: Consider a turn-key townhome that you can rent out for additional income when you're ready to move to a different property.

New Home Next Year. It's Possible Achieving your dream of homeownership is possible, even in today's market. The critical step is to create a well-thought-out plan. I can help. Visit newhomenextyear.com to learn more.

A

s a prospective first-time homebuyer, the idea of purchasing a home may seem daunting, especially in the current real estate market.

However, with proper planning and preparation, you can make your dream of owning a home a reality.

Is Now the Right Time to Buy? Many potential buyers are concerned about the current market conditions, particularly the increase in interest rates on home loans. While it's true that rates have risen over the last 18 months, waiting for rates to decrease may not be the best strategy. Housing prices are on an upward trajectory and no one knows if the rates will continue to go up or down next year. What we do know is that housing prices continue to increase. Nationally, home prices have increased 7-8% a year, and locally, Bend has increased an average of 9% per year when we look at data from 2014-2023.

If you wait and try to time the market you will most likely pay more and might have to compete with multiple offers and the heartbreak of not getting the home you want. If interest rates do come down, you have the option of refinancing at a lower rate. You won’t have the option to buy that house at a lower price. We live in inflationary times and over the last 40 years, real estate has proven to be the number-one asset class as a protection against inflation.

Embrace Financing Options As a first-time homebuyer, you have access to various loan programs designed to assist you in purchasing a home. Loan officers can help you explore payment assistance programs tailored to your unique financial situation. Realtors can also negotiate with sellers to cover your closing costs or
