Is election season nearly over? Not til Nov. 8!

As of this writing, our editorial board has conducted dozens of hours of interviews, many more of research, spent countless amounts of time in our conference room debating the merits of this candidate or that one, blasted past the nine-to-five work schedule on numerous days… all to arrive at the endorsements you see in this paper.

This week’s opinion page details why all that effort is worth it: so that you, readers, have one more perspective on this upcoming election—and it’s going to be an interesting one. And when it’s all over, as the tagline on this Source cover states, we’ll all still live here. What does that signal about how we treat each other and the things we say about one another? These are the questions that pass through our minds as we interviewed candidates and asked them to name something they appreciated about their opponents. Enjoy this election issue, and when election season is officially over, we’ll still be here, bringing you the news, views and events that shape your lives.

Thanks for reading!

OPINION

Newspaper Endorsements Matter. What Matters More: Your Vote

A

lot is on the line in the election coming up Nov. 8—an election traditionally called the “midterms” because it’s the one that happens smack-dab in the middle of the current president’s term.

But if you’ve been paying any kind of attention, then you know that it doesn’t take a presidential election to make an election season a nail-biter. With the reversal of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court this year, many voters are looking to candidates in gubernatorial and House and Senate races to determine their stance on abortion. State leaders and those in Washington, D.C., will certainly be looking at the results of this election as a bellwether about how Americans feel about this wedge issue.

If abortion is an important issue for you, then you should vote.

More locally, plenty of Oregon candidates have spent this campaign season talking about the myriad problems our state faces. Graduation rates and test scores are certainly on the ballot this term. If those issues are important to you, then you should vote.

Likewise, every candidate running for office in Oregon has offered some type of lip service about the homelessness crisis in our state. Some have simply advocated for “change,” even if that change doesn’t yet involve any concrete plans for what they’d do differently.

Pay attention to exactly what candidates say and their depth of knowledge about the mechanisms that can legally, realistically be used to help ease this crisis, and then vote.

In our cities, including Bend, housing and the construction of more of it is a major issue. Pay attention to the candidates who spout platitudes. Look for the ones who have done more than complain and have instead proposed ideas and solutions. Then vote.

All year long, journalists locally and nationally spend a lot of time talking to, listening to and attending meetings with the people who make decisions

that impact your lives, all the while seeking to hold local governments and their elected representatives accountable to you—to us—those of us who live, work and play in their constituencies. It is this connection and this close attention to the biggest issues of the day that make us—journalists and our attendant editorial boards—qualified to issue endorsements of candidates. We do this not to polarize or ostracize certain members of the community, but to lend our experience over months and years of covering governments to offer an informed hand to voters. Agree or not with the endorsements you’ll find inside this issue, but read them, read other endorsements, do other research—and whatever you do, vote.

With automatic, motor-voter registration, voters’ pamphlets and prestamped ballots that arrive right at your door, Oregon makes it easy for you to hold up your end of the democratic bargain. Don’t take this for granted; all these initiatives are the product of forward-thinking leaders who cared more about taking the pulse of the entire electorate than about tinkering with voter access enough to alter election outcomes. Many states don’t even have a voters’ pamphlet, let alone the other initiatives mentioned. Our elections locally remain free and fair and dutifully administered—but just in case, we asked the current sitting county commissioners running for re-election for their take. They underlined their faith in the electoral system here in Deschutes County. We’d love to live in a world where that didn’t have to be asked, but we did, and it says something to know that our leaders still hold that confidence.

Whatever the outcome of this election, many people have done much work to allow voters this type of access, this depth of information and this level of confidence in the process. Now, all you have to do is vote.

GUEST OPINION: AFTER 10 YEARS OF DELAY, LET’S BRIDGE THE GAP IN SOUTHERN BEND BY CONNECT BEND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

protections. But experts agree: Building the footbridge would require no changes to state or federal laws. You can’t “undo” a law if you’re following the very processes its founders established.

Still, in 2019 BPRD shelved this worthy project.

On this 10th anniversary, we’ve released a study ranking outdoor access for the 13 Bend neighborhoods and the Deschutes River Woods.

First, we mapped the drive distance from each neighborhood to 13 popular spots – Shevlin Park, Pilot Butte, Alpenglow Park and more. Distances in southwest or southeast Bend are twice as far as neighborhoods with the best access.

The DRW? Three times.

That wouldn’t be so bad if one had outdoor spaces nearby. But looking at acres of BPRD land per person, southwest Bend and Old Farm ranked poorly again.

And BPRD wants to address such imbalances, as shown by the new Alpenglow Park in southeast Bend. But when the footbridge project stalled, no alternative emerged. Southwest Bend ranks last in terms of BPRD spending on new projects since 2015, as reported by Capital Improvement Plans.

Ten years from now, where will we be?

Riparian areas at Good Dog have been loved to death – areas that would be rehabilitated and protected by the footbridge project. Will they only get worse?

Southern Bend neighborhoods are growing. Will inequality of access simply go away? Will we urge driving over walking and cycling?

The voter-approved footbridge addresses all of these pressing concerns.

Let’s stand up for equality of outdoor access. Let’s bridge the gap.

—Connect Bend is a community group advocating for the voter-approved footbridge in southern Bend. See the study at http://connectbend.org/access.

ROUNDABOUTS Does it really take any kind of an observation to realize that when vehicles use a turn signal to exit a roundabout the people that are coming in have an easy way in without waiting for a change in traffic or for somebody to actually use a turn signal. Then traffic can move smoothly like the roundabouts were designed for. So then why do so many people still refuse to signal out when they know they are going to be the ones trying to get in at the next one and are going to have to sit there and wait? Is this something that really needs to be learned? We can’t all be that dumb.

—Jon Vanderlinde

WHY I BECAME A DEMOCRAT I have voted in every election for 50 years and I have voted for candidates from both the Democratic and the Republican parties. I consider myself a fiscal conservative that wants to conserve our planet for future generations and give equal rights to all Americans. My vote was always based on the candidate’s positions alignment with my concerns and values.

The current Republican party has become the party of Donald Trump, his loyal followers and those afraid of Trump. After the former president didn’t accept defeat in an election that has been proven fair in EVERY court challenge. Some of his challenges were denied by judges that he appointed, yet he still claims the 2020 election was “fake.” Bloomberg News has stated that there are the 253 key Republican leaders who back Trump’s false claims of election fraud. That number includes Jo Rae

Perkins, the Oregon Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, who promotes the Q-Anon conspiracy theory, attended the January 6 insurrection and denies the results of the 2020 election. The Deschutes County Republicans and Oregon’s Republican gubernatorial candidate, Christine Drazan, support all Republican candidates even if they are as extreme as Jo Rae Perkins.

Regarding key issues, Democrats are offering solutions and the Republicans talk about making change, but rather than offering clear solutions they choose to just say no to the opposition’s ideas.

Like most Americans, I believe the 2020 election was fair and therefore I choose democracy and became a Democrat.

—Joe Craig

Letter of the Week:

Joe—You get Letter of the Week not because you chose to be a Democrat per se, but because you sound like you’re a person who does your research and chooses based on the merits of the candidate and not the party. That’s the kind of voter I hope to see out there casting their ballot. You’ll find lots of Democrats endorsed inside this election issue, and while that might appear to be a party-line move, it’s not— it’s because each candidate chosen has been heavier on solutions, lighter on the empty rhetoric and blaming.

5 VOLUME 26 ISSUE 42 / OCTOBER 20, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Ten years ago, Bend voters approved a $29 million bond measure for three great projects: the Whitewater Park, the Pavilion Skating Rink and the completion of the Deschutes River Trail via a footbridge in southern Bend.

Two happened – one didn’t.

And that raises tough questions about inequality in Bend.

The 2012 pamphlet sent to all voters promised a completed River Trail with “[p]edestrian crossings connecting the east and west sides.”

But we didn’t only vote for a trail— we voted for improved outdoor access for southwest Bend, southeast Bend and the Old Farm District. The footbridge would also benefit the Deschutes River Woods, just outside city and BPRD boundaries.

That’s 20,000 Bendites, one-fifth of the greater population. For 10 years they could have walked or cycled to the Deschutes National Forest, instead of driving six miles or more. Think of the carbon emissions reduced.

A minority of residents opposed the bridge. They called the area an undeveloped or “sensitive” wildlife zone. Surrounding the proposed site we find: • River Rim and River Vale: 585 homes • Bachelor View Road: 42 homes • River Bend Drive: 84 homes • And Widgi Creek: 107 homes Opponents further maintained that a footbridge would harm species such as elk, eagles and the Oregon spotted frog.

Yet no evidence of potential harm to species habitat exists. And, if the legally required National Environmental Policy Act review uncovered negative impacts, the project would stop in its tracks.

Today opponents turn to legal claims.

A footbridge would “weaken” or “undo” state and federal scenic waterway

Corridor Construction Commences

The long-awaited improvement to the most congested section of U.S. 97 in Bend finally broke ground

By Jack Harvel Courtesy of ODOT

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / OCTOBER 20, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

6

Bend city officials and ODOT staff all pitch in for the ceremonial shovel groundbreaking.

T

he North Corridor project broke ground on Monday, Oct. 17, after nearly two decades of planning. The $174 million project will realign U.S. 97 with a nearby railroad and will convert what’s currently U.S. 97 into an extended Third Street.

“We were really looking ahead this far 20 years ago, and about 10 years ago is when we really started going after working on the funding and the plans and how we were going to execute this project,” said Kacey Davey, spokesperson for the Oregon Department of Transportation. “As more people have moved to the area and more freight traffic is using 97, we thought about designing a project that not just would get vehicles through the area, but what also helped move people through the area, even if they weren’t using a car.”

The area has gotten more congested over the past 20 years as the population soared, and the project aims to reduce traffic, improve access to the Cascade Village Shopping Center, make the section of the highway faster and create options for walking and biking along the highways. The stoplights on that section of U.S. 97 and mergers from Empire and U.S. 20 can often cause rear-end collisions.

“One of the things that this project will do is really help to relieve congestion in that area. We’re going to be extending the parkway north following along the railroad tracks and so folks won’t have stoplights that they have to stop at, you can just continue all through that area if you don’t need to stop on the north end of town,” Davey said.

Traffic lights are also getting replaced by roundabouts on U.S. 20 at the

intersections of Robal Lane and Cooley Road. Davey said roundabouts reduce serious and fatal crashes by about 90%.

“You don’t have head-on crashes or T-bones or other types of high impact crashes that you usually see at signalized intersections,” Davey said. “It also provides a safe place for pedestrians and

cyclists and everyone else to cross those roundabouts as well.”

Improvement to pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure is one of the key benefits of this project, according to ODOT. A new bus station is going in on Robal Lane, and a 12-foot-wide path will be constructed along what’s now U.S. 97 Courtesy of ODOT

This map outlines the proposed changes that will be under construction.

from Empire Avenue to Cooley Road.

“Their design is what we call lowstress systems, which means that it’s not safe just for someone who’s an avid cyclist and used to riding on busy roads, but it’ll feel safe for everyone who wants to use that type of transportation,” Davey said.

The funding for this project is made up of federal, state and local money.

The biggest contributor is the $60.4 million Infrastructure for Rebuilding America grant from the federal government, followed by a $50 million investment the state legislature approved in HB2017, $39 million from the Infrastructure and Jobs Act and $10.3 million of ODOT funds. Both the City of Bend and Deschutes County are also throwing $5 million into the pot.

ODOT’s first steps will be installing roundabouts and pedestrian infrastructure on U.S. 20, which is expected to be finished by the end of 2023. Spring of next year it’ll start work on the existing U.S. 97 and by fall will be constructing the new U.S. 97 by the railroad — both of which should be completed by the end of 2024. ODOT acquired three businesses along the railroad through eminent domain to build the new U.S. 97.

Though most of the construction will happen at night, people can expect some traffic impacts.

“We will be maintaining access to all the businesses on that side of town, but there will be construction, maybe similar to what you’re seeing on Third Street right now,” Davey said. “Our teams are actually working on some innovative ways of staging the project so that we can have as little impact to traffic as we can just because we know that’s such a busy, important area for people.”

To Speed or Not To Speed

New digital speed signs south of Bend monitor real-time road conditions to set a dynamic speed limit

By Jack Harvel

7

Seven over-road speed limit signs that cover a 10-mile stretch of U.S. 97 between Bend and La Pine will change the speed limit in real time if there are poor road conditions.

Highways are the most common place to find variable speed limit signs, but they’re also used in school zones, work zones and transitional zones — where higher speed roads transition

into more pedestrian-friendly areas with dramatically lower speeds. Oregon established new criteria for variable speed areas in 2021, but the system has been tested out as far back as 2012 when

it installed variable speed limits on the I-5 and I-405 in Portland and on U.S. 26 between Banks and Manning. USDOT estimates the signs could save more than $9 per every $1 spent.

Two Children Killed in Juniper Acres Fire

A household caught fire on Saturday morning in an off-the-grid community south of Prineville

By Jack Harvel A housefire in Juniper Acres killed two children in Juniper Acres, an off-grid community south of Prineville, on Saturday, Oct. 15, just before 6 am according to the Crook County Sheriff and Crook County Fire and Rescue.

By the time fire crews arrived the residence was fully engulfed in flames. Several members of the household were able to escape, including the children’s two sisters.

“Most family members safely made it out of the house,” said Crook County Sheriff’s Deputy Javier Sanchez in a press release. “Even with the quick response from Law Enforcement, Fire and Rescue and residents

on scene, two children were not able to get out and are deceased due to the fire.”

A GoFundMe campaign to raise money for funeral arrangements identified the children as Cobain and Nyla, who were six and nine-years old respectively. A separate GoFundMe was created to support the family after losing loved ones and most of their possessions.

“They have no place to live. They have medical bills, they have, you know, a lot of expenses as well.

My main specific point (of creating a GoFundMe page) was to make sure both babies were able to have the proper arrangements, you know, right out the gate,” Brad Deane, a family friend and organizer of one of the

GoFundMe’s, told KTVZ. Deane announced on GoFundMe that the fundraiser made enough to cover the costs of funeral arrangements, and that any more donations will go directly to the family. Sanchez said the investigation into the fire, which is being led by CCSO, the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office, Oregon State Police and the Crook County District Attorney is ongoing, and that there’s no risk to the public. Crook County District Attorney Kari Hathorn told KTVZ she anticipates it’ll take a few weeks for the investigation to be completed.

T

he Oregon Department of Transportation has installed digital speed limit signs along a 10-mile stretch of U.S. 97 between south Bend and La Pine.

The signs can modify speed limits based on road and weather conditions, supported by weather stations that monitor traction, humidity, temperature and visibility. When road conditions are poor the speed limit will decrease, and will rise again once conditions improve.

“If the road surface gets covered in snow, or it gets slick or visibility goes down, these sensors will tell the speed limit sign to lower the speed,” ODOT spokesperson Kacey Davey said in a video announcing the new signage. “And it is a regulatory speed so if you see that speed goes from 65 to 55, or even lower, that is the actual speed limit.”

ODOT said over 40% of crashes on that section of the highway occurred when a driver was going faster than advisable under road conditions. A study by the U.S. Department of Transportation showed the digital speed limit signs can reduce total crashes on freeways by 34%, rear-ends by 65% and eliminate half of all fatal and injury crashes.

“You’re going to have less impact, you’re going to have more stopping distance, and it could really help reduce the severity and the frequency of crashes,” Davey said.

ODOT turned the signs on on Monday, but it won’t implement a variable speed limit until November. ODOT said it’ll see if the signs are successful in reducing crashes, and if successful will look for more opportunities farther south on U.S. 97.

Nuevos letreros de velocidad digitales en el sur de Bend monitorean las condiciones del camino en tiempo real para señalar un límite de velocidad dinámico

9

L

a Secretaría de Transporte de Oregon (ODOT por sus siglas en inglés) ha instalado letreros digitales para el límite de velocidad a lo largo de un tramo de 10 millas de la carretera U.S. 97 entre el sur de Bend y La Pine. Los letreros pueden modificar los límites de velocidad basándose en las condiciones del camino y del clima, apoyados por las estaciones meteorológicas que monitorean la tracción, la humedad, la temperatura y la visibilidad. Cuando las condiciones de la carretera son malas, el límite de velocidad disminuirá y aumentará de nuevo una vez que las condiciones del clima mejoren.

“Si la superficie del camino se cubre de nieve o si se pone resbaloso, o si la visibilidad disminuye, estos sensores le indicarán al letrero que indica el límite de velocidad que reduzca la velocidad, “indicó la vocera de ODOT, Kacey Davey, en un video que anuncia los nuevos letreros. “Y es una velocidad reglamentaria, por lo que si ve que la velocidad va de 65 a 55, o hasta menos, ese es el límite de velocidad actual.”

ODOT dijo que más del 40% de los accidentes en esa sección de la carretera ocurrieron cuando el

conductor iba más rápido de lo recomendable conforme a las condiciones del camino. Un estudio realizado por la Secretaría de Transporte de los Estados Unidos (USODOT por sus siglas en inglés) mostró que los letreros digitales del límite de velocidad pueden reducir el número de accidentes en carreteras en un 34% y por un 65% en los choques traseros y elimina la mitad de los accidentes o daños fatales.

“Vas a tener menos impacto, vas a constar con más distancia para frenar y de verdad podría ayudar a reducir la gravedad y la frecuencia de los accidentes,” |dijo Davey.

ODOT activó los letreros el lunes, pero no se implementará el límite de velocidad variable si no hasta noviembre. ODOT dijo que verá si los letreros son eficaces en la reducción de accidentes, y si son efectivos, buscará más oportunidades más al sur de la carretera U.S. 97.

Las carreteras son el lugar más común para encontrar letreros de límite de velocidad variable, pero también se usan en zonas escolares, zonas de trabajo y de transición, en donde caminos con alto límite de

“Vas a tener menos impacto, vas a contar con más distancia para frenar y de verdad podría ayudar a reducir la gravedad y frecuencia de los accidentes —KACEY DAVEY

velocidad pasan a ser áreas de transición más amigables para los peatones con un límite de velocidad mucho más bajo. En 2021, Oregon estableció nuevos requisitos para las áreas con límite de velocidad variable, pero el sistema se probó desde 2012 cuando instaló límites de velocidad variables en las autopistas I-5 y I-405 en Portland y en la carretera U.S. 26 entre Banks y Manning. USODOT calcula que los letreros podrían ahorrar más de $9 por cada $1 gastado.

Elections WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / OCTOBER 20, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

2022:

When the election is over, we’ll all still live here.

This campaign season, we’ve interviewed dozens of candidates in city, county and state races to help you make your decision Nov. 8. Read on to see who we believe will serve voters best—and also learn what candidates have to say when we ask them to praise the other side.

Melanie Kebler for Bend Mayor The last time Bend voted for its directly elected mayor, the candidate list was large, with two sitting city councilors among a slate of candidates vying for the job. This time, there are just two— one of whom is a current city councilor elected in 2020; the other, a former city councilor who was appointed to the post and subsequently lost his bid for City Council in 2020. Both candidates are quality people who undoubtedly care about Bend and would serve admirably, but we believe the one who’s been on the council during a tumultuous—and also productive—time is who Bend should elect as mayor.

Melanie Kebler has the background, experience, community support and mettle to tackle the challenges that persist for Bend, and she’s proven during her two years on council that she understands the city’s biggest needs and is willing to stand up to the powerful and vocal forces on all sides of the political spectrum who can’t quite see the forest for the trees.

Some will have you believe that the current council, in place for less than two years, is to blame for the tent encampments and the rise in homelessness we see on the streets of Bend today. We see the opposite—that past

councils, including the one Chris Piper was appointed to, also faced these issues and did very little. Kebler has served on a council that, while not pleasing everyone, has ushered in the formation of a dedicated low-barrier shelter with a navigation center attached. This council also made the difficult and sometimes-unpopular decision to convert motels into more shelter space.

Without adequate shelter beds in place, it would be legally impossible to do what the council is poised to do next: to put rules in place about where people can—and cannot—camp in the city, and on what grounds the city can move people from encampments, thus avoiding the cumbersome approval process that sees camps languish at present.

Kebler, a lawyer who grew up in Bend and returned to raise her family, is proud of these accomplishments, and Bendites should be, too, because they point to a gutsy public servant who’s willing to do the hard work and solve problems.

Kebler and challenger Piper both talk about the need for workforce housing, but it was while Kebler has been on the council that the city officially launched

its Stevens Road project—a project that the current council ensured would include deed-restricted affordable housing and public employee housing. That project got off the ground thanks to Central Oregon’s bipartisan delegation in the Oregon House and Senate and was championed by this council. Piper talked up another housing development, Petrosa, as an example of something he helped usher in during his time on council. Palisch Homes, which owns Petrosa, has been among Piper’s biggest donors this election cycle, along with a host of other real-estate-related donors. Kebler, supported largely by small donations, seems just as attuned to housing needs, without the special-interest buy-in.

Kebler appears to want to address these issues through focusing on things like middle-income tax exemptions to make affordable housing a reality for more folks. Piper leans more toward making development easier through changes in land use policies.

On another housing-related issue— permitting times at the City of Bend Development Department—Piper talked about the need to streamline the permitting process, an issue for developers for quite some time. Kebler, by contrast, pointed to actions she has actually taken, including bringing developers’ concerns about permitting times to the city manager, who then directed staff to do an internal review of its permitting processes. That led to the creation of a dashboard that brought more accountability around permitting times.

Kebler has an edge given her focus

and track record on some of the toughest challenges the city faces. Her aim to get middle-income tax exemptions for homebuyers seems a better use of resources for folks who work in Bend and want/need to live here than Piper’s aim to bring more and more land into the Urban Growth Boundary for what he calls “managed growth.” While it’s true that Bend’s UGB will need another look again soon, the example points to a difference in philosophy.

Whoever Bend elects this time around, either candidate will be ready to serve, but our bet’s on the person who’s already won one election and is ready to build on the reputation and responsibilities she’s already shouldered. Vote Melanie Kebler for Bend mayor.

Where you’ll find them on a Friday night: Chris Piper: Food carts for date night Melanie Kebler: East side food carts or at the movies What Piper said about Kebler: He gives credit to anyone who runs for office and has to find the balance between family and politics.

What Kebler said about Piper: He’s friendly and cordial with a great laugh.

Ed Fitch for Redmond Mayor With longtime mayor George Endicott not running again, four men have stepped up to vie for the position of Redmond mayor. Jay Patrick, a long-serving city councilor, is running to “Keep Redmond Redmond” and is focused on nuts-and-bolts issues including public safety, building a new sewer plant and the expansion of the Redmond airport. Charles Baer is a self-described

libertarian whose priorities include environmentalism and transparency, and wants to see Redmond adopt a “one woman, one child” policy. Ed Fitch, also a sitting councilor, is focused on transportation, sewer and water, and wants to see Redmond open up its dialogue to listen to the concerns of all residents. Ben Schimmoller is focused on affordable housing, water management,

infrastructure growth and creating family-wage jobs for Redmond.

We believe Ed Fitch is the best choice in this race.

We give kudos to Schimmoller, who a few years back, in the primary for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners, espoused some far-right views that appear to have been tamed while working in the office of Republican

Oregon Sen. Tim Knopp and in his family’s real estate and development business. While he had good ideas, they were less refined than some of his counterparts who are currently serving on the council. And while we admire Baer’s environmental spirit and creative if not sometimes outlandish ideas, he’s not ready to lead Redmond. This leads us to a contest between Patrick and Fitch.

that it’s not the city’s role to build housing.

On transit and active transportation, we liked Schimmoller’s philosophy: add more jobs on the west side where people actually live, so that everyone has to commute less in general. Fitch wants to see more of Redmond add sidewalks and wants better bike paths to and from recreation areas, and wants the bus system to grow faster to help alleviate congestion. Patrick, the vice-chair of the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, told us he doesn’t want to “bust anything out too fast” as it pertains to this issue.

With the departure of the current mayor and the sweeping changes coming to the Redmond City Council, the Hub City is going to look very different after this election. Redmond’s demographics are changing by the day, and we believe someone forward-thinking should serve as mayor to help usher in this new era. Vote Ed Fitch for Redmond mayor.

Where you’ll find the candidates on a Friday night: Charles Baer: At a café or bar in downtown Redmond Ed Fitch: Hanging at home, playing golf or with his four grandkids Ben Schimmoller: Watching college football or hunting with friends and family Jay Patrick: With his wife golfing or on the couch asleep Ben Schimmoller on Jay Patrick: He’s served a long time and that’s impressive.

Jay Patrick on Ed Fitch: Thankful for Ed giving voters a choice in this race. Ed “thinks more liberally” than Jay, which is a political choice.

Charles Baer on Ben Schimmoller: Ben has done a good job as a young person in politics, as it’s important for young people to get involved.

Ed Fitch on Charles Baer: Charles is a visionary.

Someday there will be a need for a bypass around Redmond, and a light rail to La Pine—someday.

Ariel Mendez for Bend City Council Pos. 5 In a race with no incumbents for the Bend City Council, we find Ariel Méndez, a current member of the Bend Park and Recreation District board and a college instructor of political science, poised to meet the moment. A regular e-biker and an avowed supporter of active transportation, Méndez knows more about the subject than nearly any other local we know, and that experience and knowledge base can serve Bend well as it begins to usher in the first years of a multi-year transportation bond with plenty of dollars allocated toward active transportation. Méndez’s vision for a safer, more walkable and bikeable Bend aligns with the hopes and 25-year vision of this editorial board, and we’d like to see that vision have yet another champion on the council.

Candidate Sean Sipe is a knowledgeable candidate with a background in real

estate and a love for the Bend he grew up in. He wants to see Bend become more of a thriving economic center with a focus on job growth— not unpalatable ideals at all… but ones for which Sipe didn’t display the depth of expertise that we’d like to see from someone tackling such problems.

The same goes for the biggest issue of this campaign: homelessness.

It’s easy to say “we need to enforce the laws and prosecute crimes being committed in the right of way”—nearly no current elected official or candidate really disagrees with that in theory—but it’s

in the lack of any real policy positions or plan that we find fault with Sipe’s approach. Like some other candidates in the Bend city races, he appears to be repeating the talking points of “we need to categorize each type of homeless person so we can stratify resources” that seem canned and lacking teeth. We believe more time in the political arena will serve Sipe well.

While it’s not sexy nor always politically popular, Méndez understands reality: that Bend, like other West Coast cities, by court decree needs to expand shelter capacity before it can do more to address camping in the rights of way, and that building more

affordable housing will help to alleviate some of the most glaring problems. But that also takes time. In this race, Ariel Méndez is most ready to lead.

Where you’ll find them on a Friday night: Ariel Méndez: Family movie night Sean Sipe: Hiking, fly fishing or on a date night at Brother Jon’s Sean Sipe on Ariel Méndez: He appreciates Méndez’s dedication to his cause.

Ariel Méndez on Sean Sipe: It’s important for voters to have a choice, and he appreciates Sean giving voters a choice.

Mike Riley for Bend City Council Pos. 6 Voters have three candidates to choose from in this race, but one of them is clearly more prepared and more up to speed on the reality of the issues facing Bend: Mike Riley. As the head of The Environmental Center and a co-chair of the committee that helped to see the transportation GO bond pass during the last election, Riley already has plenty of investment in city politics to contribute meaningfully to the council from the get-go. But Riley

has more bona fides than simply advocating for environmental causes and transportation. In him we found a candidate who’s invested in the community and has done the work needed to hit the ground running on topics including affordable housing and homelessness, growth and more.

Riley’s vision for Bend is to help make Bend more livable, affordable and safe. By contrast, opponent Rick Johns wants to control growth, reduce traffic congestion and “make Bend how

it used to be,” a sign that he’s not necessarily realistic about the challenges Bend faces. Sure, we agree with him that Bendites can and should say good morning to one another—and many of them still do—but we don’t agree that looking back is the right vision to move Bend forward.

Candidate Julia Brown has some good ideas, too, including advocating for active transportation and for complete communities where people can live, work and play—a notion that’s clearly already been embraced in Bend, with two complete communities already in the works in east Bend, thanks to past councils and the developers doing the work. That’s something of the rub with Johns; she had decent ideas, but didn’t add a lot of depth to what’s already on

the table. In both Johns and Brown we also find their approach to homelessness out of touch and too myopic. During our interview, Johns was convinced the homeless population is dominated by people “coming from other states,” which is untrue. Brown expressed interest in only offering services to people who passed some type of deservability test. That’s just not realistic and won’t help alleviate the humanitarian crisis we are facing on our streets.

We agree with Johns that permitting times within the city’s development department can improve to make housing get built faster, and we appreciate Brown’s support for bike transportation, but neither had the type of fully formed ideas that Riley presented. Johns, with a background in construction and cont. on p. 13

Fitch, while also realistic about the more mundane, roads-and-sewer type of governance that is required for the mayor and council positions, has a more forward-thinking view of what Redmond could be. He’d like to at least open up a dialogue once again about allowing dispensaries in Redmond. Patrick is OK following along with federal law. Fitch believes the city needs to get more aggressive in addressing homelessness and finding solutions, and believes the city’s attempt at a safe parking program only paid lip service to the issue. He wants to implement a safe camping program to offer people a place to go. He wants to pursue public-private partnerships to help get more housing built, and advocated for creating a task force to help build more affordable housing. Patrick, while he admits that it is not illegal to camp on the streets, would like to see more enforcement of low-level crimes at homeless encampments. He doesn’t want to see the city build “a bunch of apartments,” and maintains

Barb Campbell for Bend City Council Pos. 4 With four candidates running in the race for Bend City Council position 4, there’s no shortage of knowledge, expertise and community spirit to choose from in the race. Among them, candidate Bill Olsen opted not to participate in our interview, so we won’t comment further on his candidacy.

Among the three women in the race— Barb Campbell, Karon Johnson and Erlin Taylor— we find no serious concerns around any of them serving on the Bend City Council. That said, we set a high bar when opting not to re-elect a sitting councilor. With the rest of the council members possessing less than a full term of experience, re-electing Barb Campbell just makes sense. Campbell has a great deal of institutional knowledge of the processes and reasons for past council decisions, and because we believe the current

council has set Bend on a path toward correcting some of the most salient problems—housing and homelessness—we face today, we need that experience on the council.

She’s quirky, to be sure, but Campbell is also fluent in the issues.

In Taylor, the owner of a property management company in Oregon City who built her business from the ground up, we find a relatively new resident of Bend who appears to care about her community. We’d like to see her get involved in a committee or in another fashion in local politics to help her refine some of the ideas that presently just seem too unformed to justify having her best Campbell in this race. Running on the premise of “vote for me if you want a change” just isn’t enough.

In Johnson, we find a more

invested public servant who has certainly dug into the issues. Ahead of the interview, she presented us with a 12-page white paper on the biggest issues facing Bend. As a former federal prosecutor and a former member of the Bend Planning Commission who’s also championed tree preservation in Bend, her experience and background certainly make her a qualified candidate. But on the topic of shelters, we find her position too extreme—advocating for only high-barrier shelters rather than a mix of services to fit the needs of a varied homeless population in the area. Johnson does her homework and would work hard on the council, we have no doubt about that, but we find her approach more combative and less collegial, and Campbell’s position on advocating for our houseless neighbors just more humane and realistic.

Voters have a great slate of candidates in this race, and we trust that whoever gets elected will serve the community well. But experience does count, and in this race, our endorsement goes to Campbell.

Barb Campbell on Erlin Taylor: She appreciates that Erlin is a small business owner who creates jobs.

Barb Campbell on Karon Johnson: She appreciates Karon’s love for animals and her past service on the planning commission.

Erlin Taylor on Barb Campbell: She appreciates Barb’s service to her community.

Erlin Taylor on Karon Johnson: She appreciates Karon’s passion.

Karon Johnson on Barb Campbell and Erlin Taylor: They’re good, honest, decent, well-meaning people.

Where you’ll find them on a Friday night: Erlin Taylor: Conversing with neighbors, walking the dogs, having dinner downtown Karon Johnson: Skiing or other outdoor activities Barb Campbell: Walking her three dogs and talking to neighbors

Zwicker, Trumble and Osborne Are Most Ready to Lead on the Redmond City Council If you want a sign of how quickly Redmond is transforming, look no further than the candidates running for City Council.

Three seats are up for grabs, and with five people running, a majority of the people on this slate will find themselves serving Redmond come January. When we interviewed four of the five candidates, we found little reason not to support all of them. We’d like to say the same for the fifth candidate, Branegan Dixon, but he canceled his appearance on our Zoom call shortly before the meeting and did not make an attempt to reschedule. Not a good sign.

The candidates running for Redmond City Council are Cat Zwicker, a real estate broker and brokerage owner who joined the council by appointment 10

months ago; Bill Trumble, a Navy vet, small business owner and professor and with a PhD in medical physiology and post-doc training in molecular biology; Kathryn Osborne, who works in wildland fire and holds an MBA; John Nielsen, a branch manager at a local credit union and an Army veteran; and Dixon, owner of the Redmond Athletic Club who holds a degree in business from COCC. Each of the four candidates interviewed expressed interest in addressing homelessness in Redmond more aggressively, saying the city can be a better partner in working with service providers, and thought Redmond should pursue more public-private partnerships to support shelters and affordable housing projects in the city. All expressed a need to put

“all options on the table” to get more units built and to enshrine an acceptance of ADUs and other housing types in Redmond. All expressed a desire to paint Redmond as a more welcoming city that also prioritizes good planning to make the city more attractive for both residents and visitors.

Among the candidates interviewed, we found Zwicker the most up to speed on city issues and the levers of policy that can be pulled to see more housing built in the area—not surprising, noting her professional background and her service thus far on the council. Likewise, her knowledge around funding for transit was far and above the other candidates. Voters should elect

Where you’ll find them on a Friday night: John Nielsen: At home with his twin 7-year-olds and two dogs.

Bill Trumble: Hiking or playing live blues & folk music in the pubs Kathryn Osborne: Monitoring a kids’ sleepover and taking them to Sno-Cap. Or, on a date night at the SCP Hotel rooftop bar.

Cat Zwicker: Doing some last-minute work, reading, cooking or downtown for a date night.

Cat Zwicker on her opponents: The best race is one with opponents who have the same heart and drive. She would be happy to work with any of them.

John Nielsen on his opponents: Believes they’re all friends and knows Redmond will be in good hands.

Bill Trumble on his opponents: Everyone is running from the heart—and for the right reason: a better Redmond.

Kathryn Osborne on her opponents: We’re lucky that everyone has the heart and passion that they do.

This is Redmond’s neighborliness on display.

engineering who said he is a pro at spotting waste in a budget, should use those skills on the budget committee; Brown could lend her lived experience in the tech sector and as a cyclist on any number of city committees. Both have ideas and experience that could add important perspectives to the community, but for this City Council position, Riley is the candidate who’s ready for the challenges ahead.

Ron Wyden for U.S. Senate

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / OCTOBER 20, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

We have to hand it to Jo Rae Perkins; she’s nothing if not persistent. In spite of running in a number of races over the years, including for mayor and city councilor of Albany and subsequent bids for Senate and the U.S. House, winning nothing but primaries, she persists. This time around, she’s running against longtime senator Ron Wyden for the seat in the U.S. Senate. Perhaps due

to her purported allegiance to the QAnon movement, even the Republican party machine in Oregon is keeping their distance from this race. Perkins holds alarmingly few endorsements of any consequence.

Wyden has been accessible and present not just in this part of Oregon, but the rest too, committed to continuing the town hall meetings in every county—something

More endorsements!

Over the past several months, the Source Weekly’s editorial board has endorsed a number of candidates.

Here’s a recap of the endorsements we announced in past issues.

Deschutes County Board of Commissioners Pos. 1 – Oliver Tatom Oliver Tatom is a paramedic and RN—backgrounds that we think will add to his quiver when being the overseer of the county’s health department. He’s a proponent of making better use of the lands the county owns to tackle issues such as homelessness—whether that means actually using county lands for those purposes or leveraging the land to lease to other service providers. Tatom represents a more forward-thinking and improvement-oriented vision for the county.

Pos. 3 – Morgan Schmidt Morgan Schmidt is prepared, polished and, due to her founding Pandemic Partners during the COVID-19 pandemic, we find her advocacy on behalf of women, the unhoused and those in need of resources during the pandemic simply more impressive and more aligned with the needs of a growing Deschutes County than her opponent.

Oregon House District 55 – Brian Lepore Brian Lepore is a pragmatic, educated farmer and family man with a Ph.D. in soils science who cares deeply about his district and who’s running because he feels rural Oregonians have been left behind. He espouses progressive values, while also having the “dirt under his fingernails” that only a farmer can possess. He’s committed to getting to know the people of his district—both the rural and suburban—and to listen to them to achieve solutions that don’t favor one political ideology or another.

District 54 – Jason Kropf In his two years as representative for HD 54, then-freshman Democrat Jason Kropf brought a lot of dollars home to Central Oregon. Due to funding supported by Kropf, Bend now has a full-time low-barrier shelter on Second Street. Not only that, but it’s also become a navigation center that helps people experiencing homelessness access services, due to another bill co-sponsored by Kropf. He’s also advocated for the Joint Office on Homelessness and has been instrumental in getting the Stevens Road tract project approved.

He’s been doing exactly the type of work we sent him to Salem to do.

that so many other electeds seemed to abandon when the public fervor over holding town halls started to slow down. Showing up still matters. As the chair of the Senate finance committee, he holds enormous sway in Congress. He’s pro-choice, and that’s a dealbreaker for anyone we send to Washington, D.C., right now. While we’d love to see someone of his stature and position be

able to break through the party politicking that stymies so much work in the Senate at present, that’s more of a pie-in-the-sky missive for all of Congress to sort through.

Americans want action on a number of issues, and Congress needs to step up.

In this present race, however, the clear choice for U.S. Senate is Ron Wyden.

District 53 – Emerson Levy With school safety a major priority Emerson Levy, on her own time she’s already crafted a bipartisan bill that would establish silent panic alarms in Oregon schools, and sees gun safety as the “fight of her life.” It’s in this renewable energy attorney and school safety advocate that we see the most promise.

U.S. House – Congressional District 5 Jamie McLeod-Skinner Jamie McLeod-Skinner, an attorney, engineer and Regional Emergency Coordinator, has worked to introduce herself and share ideas with not just those of the Democratic party that she falls under, but rural and conservative voters, too. Pro-choice and in favor of reasonable gun safety measures, she’s never shied away from meeting any group—regardless of political affiliation. A person who demonstrates the ability to bridge the urban-rural divide is the type of person we want representing us in Congress.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek Betsy Johnson jumped into this race to be a punch in the gut to the two parties, but in reality, she hasn’t shown her case to be strong enough to end up being anything but a spoiler potentially pushing Oregon in what we consider an alarming direction. Tina Kotek is a hard-driving legislator. But it’s in this drive that we’ve actually seen progress in addressing the issue of homelessness, and in correcting the problems that led to so much inequality in the housing sector over the past few decades. Oregonians have three choices in this race, and despite the fact that some of them want you to think they’ll bring entirely new ideas, each of

the candidates has a track record and a history in the legislature. Betsy Johnson can’t win. Christine Drazan is good at pointing fingers, but her fabrications about the state of the state are problematic, and her antichoice views are out of step with Oregonians. In this race, our faith is on the one who’s prioritized what we believe is Oregon’s biggest challenge—homelessness and housing—and put her legislative career where her mouth is: Kotek.

Measures: • 9-148 Make county commissioner seats in Deschutes County nonpartisan: YES • 9-152 Psilocyibin manufacturing and service centers in rural Deschutes County: NO • 9-155 Bend-La Pine Schools bond: YES …But wait—there’s more! In the coming issues we’ll bring you our endorsement for the Deschutes County Treasurer position, and our take on Redmond measures.

T

he idea of “going for it” can be intimidating, no matter what that “it” may be. But if you’re passionate enough about something, why not try to make that thing work? Just look at Bendite Olivia Knox, who headed south to L.A. a couple years ago to pursue her dreams in music—a passion she’s had since age eight.

“At first I thought I was gonna finish out college and pursue music at the same time. But I ended up starting my career as a writer a couple weeks before I went to college. It has been a very cool journey, and I’ve been trusting God the whole way,” she says. “I believe I am where I am today because of the producers and companies that gave me a chance. Of course the lifestyle is fast paced, and I’ve had to learn how to do a lot like the bus system and train system, but I’m very blessed to be living in L.A. full time and doing music.”

Now Knox is returning to her hometown for a big night at the Tower Theatre. There she’ll play her released singles and we’ll also get a sneak peek at some unreleased music off of her upcoming EP out next month.

“I am SO SO excited!! I’ve been working so hard at writing this past year and just so pumped to share all my favorites that I’ve written this past year. And it has probably been a little over a year since I’ve performed in Bend.”

Much of Knox’s new music has been catchy, fun and most of all—empowering. This theme will be easily found on her EP, called “Smoke Signal.”

Olivia Knox’s debut EP, “Smoke Signal,” will be out next month. Don’t miss her homecoming show this Saturday!

“This EP is going to take you through this last year in my life,” says Knox. “The main message of this EP is the feeling of chasing after something. The feeling of truly sacrificing everything to go after

your biggest dreams. This project has a feel-good, impactful, magical pop feel.”

One of the songs on the project is the previous single, “Flying,” a track that combines guitar with cool electronic

sounds, paired with a high energy hook.

Knox says she came into that session feeling defeated and overwhelmed, but she didn’t let that stop her. The result is one of her most special song to date.

“Sometimes in this industry I feel like I’m flying and that I’m on top of the world. And sometimes I feel like I’m falling and will never get back up. And this song is all about going for your dreams knowing that you might fall a couple times in the process.”

After opening doors through trending videos on TikTok, Knox says she was able to take a step forward with her music career. She tells me how much she cherishes her time with the producers and writers she’s met the past couple years, who have each helped Knox grow in different ways. Her parents, Jim and Heather, couldn’t be happier with the artist and person she’s becoming.

“We couldn’t be more proud of her.

It takes a lot of courage to follow her dream, relocate to L.A., build a new community and establish herself as a young female artist in the music industry. She has accomplished so much in such a short period of time and this is just the beginning for her,” they said in a shared message.

Catch Knox for her homecoming this Saturday at the Tower Theatre.

Hail this ride on June 17, 2023. Tickets go on sale Oct. 20.

O

n Wednesday morning, Hayden Homes Amphitheater announced its first show for the 2023 concert season. Death Cab for Cutie, the American indie/alternative rock band, is performing at Hayden Homes Amphitheater with special guest Lomelda on Saturday, June 17. Pre-sale is on Thursday and general sale is Friday.

Originally dubbed the Les Schwab Amphitheater until a name change this past year, the venue has seen enormous growth over the past 20 years of its existence, according to Beau Eastes, marketing director at Old Mill District and Hayden Homes Amphitheater. When Eastes started in 2017, Hayden Homes hosted 12 shows. In 2022, the venue hosted 52. After securing a partnership with Live Nation in 2021, along with the increase in the number of shows, it has been able to secure bigger shows, announcing release dates earlier and earlier.

“Being able to release dates earlier than before speaks to the experience that artists are having at our venue,” Eastes said. “Right in the heart of town on the river, it’s a pretty amazing place for not just concertgoers, but the performers as well.”

The amphitheater has brought in a variety of music artists across a wide range of genres to Central Oregon, from country to folk to rock to electronic to stand-up comedy.

“We’re getting artists that, if they’re gonna stop in Oregon, and they’re only gonna play one place in Oregon, they’re choosing our venue over others,” Eastes said.

Among the shows this past season, Hayden Homes hosted its first full production EDM concert with headliner Odesza and supporting act Sylvan Esso. It was the only venue in Oregon where the tour performed.

This year the venue also hosted several artists for multiple nights, something it’s only done once in the 20 years prior to this past season. Kenny Chesney, The Chicks and Thomas Rhett each headlined two shows at Hayden Homes in 2022.

Behind each concert are over 800 people who make the shows run smoothly, from the marketing team to stage production to the front of the house to sales to food vendors.

“It’s a community wide effort to put on these world-class shows,” Eastes said.

“We’re so thankful that there are so many people excited to be part of it. We could not put on these shows without the amazing workforce we have.”

Take a trip across the pond to The Cellar for food and beer

By Jared Rasic 33 of discovering one of the rare places not overrun with hordes of humanity.

The Cellar has me sighing with pleasure that something so uniquely its own could exist in a town where it’s becoming more and more rare to enter a bar without some form of sports ball blaring from a TV on the wall.

But none of the vibe of The Cellar feels kitsch; instead feeling like an authentic throwback to the kind of holein-the-wall English pubs we always hope to stumble across on a rainy fall afternoon. From Deven and Avara Roberts, the team behind Redmond’s excellent Porter Brewing Company, The Cellar feels like a place you can go on a first date, or have a pint with friends after a long day of work, or go to with a book on a day where you’re feeling a bit more introverted.

I tried each and every one of the cask-conditioned real ales on the menu and am now a bit obsessed with the self-carbonated treats. Unpasteurized, unfiltered and having gone through a secondary fermentation process in the cask, each beer held a smoothness almost as if it came from a nitro tap, Jared Rasic

I

’ve worked downtown on and off for over a decade and if there’s one thing I’ve learned in that time, it’s that the older I get, the more I want a place to go that I can have a pint, some good food and a conversation without screaming over a Hootie and the Blowfish song.

Maybe it’s a sign that I’m an old-ass man, but it seems like the older I get, the younger and louder everyone in the bars are and the more desperate they are to be seen and, more importantly, heard.

Enter The Cellar, an authentic English pub set underground, downtown beneath Silverado on Wall Street and Oregon Avenue. The entire space is designed to make the customer feel like the moment they start traveling down the stairs, they aren’t just headed into another bar in Bend, but taking a portal out of Central Oregon completely and traveling across the pond to mellower times.

I love the iconic exposed lava rock walls and wooden beams, the comfortable chairs set near a gorgeous classic lamp, perfectly placed atop a cozy fireplace, near an excellently curated mini library. It’s priceless, the feeling

Jared Rasic

The Cellar's meat pies pair perfectly with its smooth brews.

but without sacrificing an ounce of flavor. With each beer hand pumped from eight beer engines into 20 oz. imperial pint glasses and served at the cellar temperature without any additional carbonation, the beers aren’t as filling as your average craft brew; instead each one I tried was perfect for sipping and conversing and paired excellently with food.

From the smooth Reg the Great bitter that goes down sweetly to the 1772 English Porter that combines a low gravity creaminess with a mellow roasted flavor profile, the beers from Porter Brewing were mouthwatering across the board. I’ve never been much of a fan of red ales, but the Irish Redmond has these subtle hints of malted toffee that I couldn’t get tired of tasting.

On top of the excellent beer selection, delectable scratch-made savory pies (made by Deven’s mother!) are served at The Cellar. My friend Foxy described the food/drink/vibe combination perfectly: The Cellar feels like being at that cool new friend’s house you met in middle school who had the video game system that you didn’t have, so you go over to their house and their

mom plies you with homemade treats that you never get at your own home.

Everything is exciting to try because everything seems new and unique.

The Scottish Meat Pie was covered in a decadent brown gravy and filled with complexly seasoned beef and instantly made me want three more. Don’t even get me started on the subtle deliciousness of the Chicken Curry Pie and its light and lovely coconut curry sauce or the Mac & Cheese Pie topped with a tangy and dish-stealing beer cheese.

Served with a pickled onion and mushy peas (which I am now very much in love with), the food at The Cellar pairs so well with the malt-forward beers and the relaxed and friendly atmosphere that it wouldn’t surprise me if it became a destination location downtown for locals and tourists alike.

It’s been an ongoing gripe of Bendites who enjoy the flavors of Asia: no Asian market in Bend or elsewhere in Central Oregon. Even those restaurants that serve Asian food have to source their ingredients through a combo of creative shipping and drives to Eugene or Portland. But that could soon change, if Bend local Jesi Scott sees her dream to fruition.

Scott launched the brand “Tomi Mart” this month, in prep for her first pop-up market at the Moonlight Market at Open Space Event Studios Oct. 21. That pop-up market will largely consist of snacks and other sundries that locals are clamoring for, Scott said—but provided the right location comes around, Scott hopes to open a brick-and-mortar Asian food mart in Bend in the spring of 2023.

Tomi Mart is named after Scott’s daughter, Tomiko, who was named after the child’s paternal Japanese great-great-grandmother, named Tomi. Scott, who grew up in Bend, has lived in both China and Japan and looks forward to bringing more of the ingredients she herself likes to cook with.

“Obviously there’s a huge void to be filled in Central Oregon with just getting Asian products in town, so I want to try to fill that void as best as I can,” Scott told the Source Weekly. “I think people are definitely going to have some high expectations, especially those coming from some bigger cities.”

Look for announcements about Tomi Mart on Instagram @tomimartbend or at tomimartbend.com.

A Theater State of Mind

‘A Tapestry of Arts’ unfurls at Cascades Theatrical Company

By Jared Rasic 37

T

he pandemic shut down theaters across the globe (including Shakespeare’s Globe in London) and ever since they slowly started reopening…I’m guilty of not attending. It’s terrible how hypocritical that makes me because at the height of the pandemic, The Globe and several other theaters across the world put their plays on YouTube to try to raise funds for the shuttered theaters.

Having those plays to look forward to every week helped get me through the quarantine period of the pandemic.

I’ve definitely been planning on going back to the theater to see the Greenhouse Cabaret’s upcoming interpretation of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” but now I have something to bring me back into the theater sooner with Two Twisted Sisters and Cascades Theatrical Company’s “Tapestry of the Arts.”

Some of my all-time favorite local performers are teaming up to put on this one-weekend-only buffet of performing and visual arts, including music

by David Salas, “Hen Party” and “Their First Date,” a pair of shorts written and directed by Michael and Laura Lee Coffman, “Hooked,” a dramatic oneact by Sara Freedman, True Tales by Dan Cohen, singer/songwriter Eli Seth Lieberman performing original songs, choreographer Michelle Majeski and her ensemble performing classics from “Chicago” and “Cabaret,” and “Paul’s Bed” written by Howard Schor and directed by Mary Kilpatrick.

I asked Two Twisted Sisters’ Howard Schor about the origins of the show and how he chose to combine music, dance, painting and theater.

“For many years Mary has wanted me to write a one-act about her very

dear friend and mentor, Paul, who was an actor/dancer in L.A. and on and off Broadway. He was one of the first 200 to die of AIDS in 1981. The story is about a Christmas party that his best friends threw for him around Halloween because they didn’t know if he would make it to Christmas. It is sad, poignant, quite funny and the ending is very inspirational and uplifting. Mary said, ‘Why don’t we do a Vaudeville show?’ Ah, too much goofing around and jokes... I said to myself. Time went by... And one day about eight months ago I happened to look up the etymology of the Vaudeville and I was stunned to see that it is from the French ‘voices of the city.’ Boom! I went to Mary and told her the definition and I would write ‘Paul’s Bed’ and get artists from all different genres and put

up a ‘Tapestry of The Arts.’”

Majeski has done choreography in Bend for as long as I can remember (including trying to teach me to softshoe in “Young Frankenstein”), so getting to see her put her considerable talents toward “Cell Block Tango” from “Chicago” and “Mein Herr” from “Cabaret” has me unreasonably excited.

“Bob Fosse is my favorite choreographer,” says Majeski. “Both numbers are sultry and provocative in a classic Fosse jazz style. We’re excited to be a part of ‘Tapestry of the Arts’ and to share the stage with longtime friends and colleagues.”

Michael Coffman, who is directing two of the comedic pieces of the night, appreciates the varied segments of the evening.

“There is a bit of everything in this show,” says Coffman. “It’s the perfect program for our community members, many of whom are still crawling out of our caves, to once again experience theater and art.”

I know I’m one of those people slowly re-integrating into the theater scene and “Tapestry of the Arts” seems like a good place to start.

Shoot Horror Films, Don’t They?

SCREEN They The state of spooky in 2022

By Jared Rasic

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / OCTOBER 20, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

N

ow, don’t get me wrong, there have been a few quality horror films that were released so far in 2022, but this has also been one of the worst years for horror movies I’ve ever lived through. Even the best horror flicks of the year still lose steam in their third acts or fall apart in myriad other ways.

Creeping up on Halloween, I’ve been watching a ton of new-release spookies that I’ve never seen before, with extremely mixed results. Some have been so terrifically terrible that they were hilarious, while a few others were pretty solid if unmemorable, but there have only been one or two stone-cold classics so far this year. I miss the years where it felt like one stone-cold classic after another was being released, or maybe I just miss the time when nostalgia made it feel that way. Listed below are a small number of the horror flicks I watched over the last few weeks that were either interesting, terrible or some combination of the two. I hope reading about it is less painful than living through it (it won’t be).

Photos courtesy IMdb

“Halloween Ends" (2022) If humanity contains multitudes, then director David Gordon Green let all of them direct the third and final entry in his new “Halloween” trilogy, which continues directly off of John Carpenter’s 1978 original. I can’t fault “Ends” for genuinely trying something different when it comes to how it wraps everything up, but just having ambitions for elevating a movie doesn’t mean it works. Barely coherent. Regal Old Mill

“Smile” (2022) This super-disturbing spook-a-blast basically rips off the rules of evil behind “The Ring” and “It Follows,” but does so in such bravura fashion that this ends up being one of the creepiest horror films of the year. Worth seeing on the big screen just for the sound design alone. Regal Old Mill

“Terrifier 2:” (2022) Watched 10 minutes of this, heard someone dry heave behind me (this movie apparently made people faint across the country) and then I got up and went to a friend’s burlesque show instead. I’ll watch this one at home when I don’t have to hear people lose their dinner. VOD

“They/Them:” (2022) Sets back queer horror movies by at least a decade. Horrible. How the hell do you waste Kevin Bacon?? PEACOCK

“Watcher:” (2022) What if “Rear Window” was way scarier and focused on the danger inherent in being a woman being oppressed by the male gaze?

Made it deep under my skin. AMC+

“We’re All Going to The World’s Fair:” (2022) Star Anna Cobb gives the best performance I’ve seen this year in a simple and low-budget look at a young woman playing an Alternate Reality Game and slowly losing her mind. Maybe. Or else the world is losing her.

A new cult classic. HBOMax “Werewolf By Night:” (2022) I don’t care if you don’t like Marvel, this is the best thing they’ve ever done. Gael Garcia Bernal OWNS this. Disney+ “You Won’t Be Alone:” (2022) The best movie about witches you’ve never seen. VOD “Pearl:” (2022) What if John Waters directed “The Wizard of Oz” but with axe murders? Lovely. Tin Pan Theater

“Barbarian:” (2022) A genuinely bonkers flick reminiscent of “The People Under the Stairs,” but even more unpredictable and insane. Go into this knowing as little as possible and have your mind blown over and over. A weak ending doesn’t derail the enjoyment, even as it does fail to capture the highs of the first two acts.

Regal Old Mill

“Dashcam:” (2022) Ugh. What if an anti-vax/ anti-mask, freestyle rapping white lady left America because she doesn’t believe in COVID, goes to London to visit a friend and ends up dealing with a demon or a witch, I won’t spoil which. The main character is extremely annoying and unlikable (and is a terrible rapper), so it’s really hard to spend two hours with her in what is otherwise a pretty original and frightening horror movie. Your political leanings will probably help decide whether you can sit through this. HULU

There are other great horror films to talk about, including Jordan Peele’s “Nope” and Alex Garland’s “Men,” but I did full reviews of those earlier in the year and don’t want to cover the same ground. If you’re a fan of horror movies, then you’re in luck because more of them being made than ever before, but so many lack that classic vibe. Let us know why you think that is and what some of your favorite horror flicks of the year have been!

The Rock soars as Black Adam.

AMSTERDAM: A sprawling crime comedy starring Bale, Robbie, De Niro and…Taylor Swift? OK. Alright. This is one of my most anticipated movies of the year and I still think it will probably be a hot mess. Director David O. Russell is behind two of all-time classics (“Three Kings” and “I Heart Huckabees”), so he has my loyalty no matter what.

BARBARIAN: A woman arrives to her rental home

MOONAGE DAYDREAM: David Bowie! Tin Pan

but the dude that played Pennywise is already there. Most people would flee into the night, but then we wouldn’t have a movie, so she stays and deeply creepy horror ensues. This is a new horror classic from top to bottom. Regal Old Mill

BLACK ADAM: This looks like every other superhe-

ro movie ever made, but “Black Adam” has been The Rock’s passion project for decades, leading me to believe there’s something about this story worth telling. I just want to see The Rock fight Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Shazam and Aquaman at the same time. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub

BROS: Finally, we have a big-budget studio romantic comedy with and an all-LGBTQ+ central cast.

This is the first time something like this has been done in history and with star Billy Eichner writing and the Nicholas (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”) Stoller, this could end up being this year’s comedy smash success. Regal Old Mill DON’T WORRY DARLING: The media loves to talk about all the drama involved with the making of this one, but completely forgets that 1) Olivia Wilde directed the charming and lovely “Booksmart,” 2) Florence Pugh is one of the best actresses of her generation and 3) that this movie is actually an original idea instead of a remake or comic book movie. I think it looks fantastic. Regal Old Mill HALLOWEEN ENDS: Does it tho? Regal Old Mill,

OUTSIDE Virtual Fencing: A Paradigm Shift to Livestock Management

Ranchers use technology to manage cattle from the comfort of their home

40 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / OCTOBER 20, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

W O R L D

By Damian Fagan

n 1874, Joseph Glidden’s product was proclaimed to be, “lighter than air, stronger than whiskey, and cheaper than dust.” Plains Indians called it, “the Devil’s rope” and homesteaders used it to protect their claims. The “it” is barbed wire.

During westward expansion, thousands of miles of barbed-wire fence were put up to either define grazing allotments or protect farmland from free-ranging cattle. Initially, cowboys hated seeing “their” open range restricted by fences or when their cattle got wounds from the sharp barbs. Others embraced the ability to fence private lands or enclose public land for their own purposes. Nowadays, barbed-wire fences crisscross the western landscape, and though efficient at managing livestock movement, it’s costly to replace— to the tune of $18,000-20,000 per mile.

But there’s new technology on the horizon to reduce this expense.

Virtual fencing is the newest technology to hit the ranching scene. The system incorporates GPS technology and stimuli collars worn by livestock. Similar to the concept of invisible fences for dogs, minus the buried wire, the collars produce a warning sound or electrical cue to an animal if it’s too close to a virtual fenceline created by the rancher on their smartphone or computer.

“We saw this coming down the pike

Morgan Lawrence

over four years ago,” said David Bohnert, Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center director and professor in Burns.

“Virtual fencing isn’t a novel concept but a process that’s been around for a long time. It’s just that technology has now caught up to the concept, making it a bit more feasible.”

Portable cell phone towers, about 20 feet tall and powered by solar panels, are installed on the range to communicate the fence boundary and livestock locations back to the rancher. The rancher uses herd management software developed by the San Diego-based company VENCE to create virtual pastures and to track animals.

“It takes three days to a week for the cattle to get used to the audio and visual clues,” said Bohnert. “The rancher puts them in a smaller area that is manageable and has an attractant like feed or water and then moves the virtual fence in around them.” The animals learn fairly quickly that the auditory clue will be followed by an electrical shock if they don’t respect the boundary.

Conservation Northwest, a wildlands and wildlife advocacy group based in Washington, is involved in several projects in Okanogan County such as the Tunk Valley Project.

“The rancher can sit home and build fence day in and day out for a fraction of the cost for what it costs to put real

hard fencing on the ground,” said Jay Kehne, Conservation Northwest’s sagelands program lead. That project covers about 60,000 acres and has about 280 cow/calf pairs with over 50 miles of virtual fence on 13 pastures. The total cost, under $40,000 for the virtual fencing, would be equivalent to building 2 to 3 miles of new hard fence. The concept of being able to constantly move cattle across the range reduces overgrazing and soil erosion.

David Bohnert

“Another big advantage is you can have inclusionary fences and exclusionary fences,” said Kehne. “You can exclude animals from getting into riparian areas, wolf dens, sharp-tailed or sagegrouse leks and other sensitive areas.”

The virtual fencing also allows for wildlife movement across the landscape without having to encounter hazards associated with barbed wire fencing.

“The best wildlife-friendly fence is no fence at all,” said Kehne.

Kehne’s group is spreading the word amongst ranchers or cattlemen’s associations as to the benefits and issues behind virtual fencing. “It spreads by word of mouth,” added Kehne. “Some of the folks that we’ve been helping want to show their neighbors how it works.”

To better address the producer’s reaction to virtual fencing, Bohnert said that next year a grad student will look at the societal impacts to better understand reasons why ranchers would be hesitant to explore this technology.

Virtual fencing won’t replace exterior fencing, such as along roadways or dividing some allotments, but it is another tool in the toolbox for herd management.

“It’s not perfect; it’s not an iron gate,” said Bohnert. “You’ve got to train the cattle and set the system up to be successful, but right now, with some of the things we’re learning, I think it has a lot of potential.”

eissner Nordic Ski Club hosts cross country trail maintenance parties every year before it starts dumping snow. This year, the work parties are on Thursdays and Saturdays until the end of October. Volunteers are asked to be at the grooming shed at 9am to get going on trail projects.

The trails are located at Virginia Meissner Sno-Park, just 14 miles away from Bend. The Meissner Nordic club and the Forest Service maintain a total of 47 kilometers of trails. Meissner Nordic Ski Club is a volunteer-based organization, and the cross-country community relies on it for a smooth season of fresh tracks.

From cutting back brush to removing downed trees to removing rocks from the trails, there are many tasks. Before each work party, a few members scout the area to see which spots need the most attention.

Larry Katz has lived in Bend for over 26 years and has been an avid member of the Nordic skiing community in Central Oregon for a long time. Katz joined the Meissner Nordic Ski Club almost 12 years ago and has been on the board since 2011.

Attendees can find him scouting trails and volunteering to make Central Oregon’s cross-country environment safe and steady for skiers.

Removing large hazards from the trail, like fallen trees, rocks and stumps are at the top of the priority list, but cutting back overgrown shrubbery is important in maintaining clean and open trails. Katz said that getting the edges of the trails cleaned up is important during low-snow years, so sno-cats can farm snow off the edges and drag it onto the trails.

“We need people to volunteer and to help maintain the trails,” Katz said. “It always makes me happy to see how many people come out and enjoy these trails during the season.”

Volunteers are advised to wear sturdy boots and bring working gloves. Hand tools and power tools will be provided, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own. Depending on volunteer numbers, the tools may be limited.

The Meissner Nordic club is also hosting its season kick-off party at 6pm on Nov. 7 at Embark Bend to get ready for the season. Grooming is planned to start on Dec. 1 and will continue through March.

THC in NYC

Getting high in the Big Apple, where mobile trucks and down-tempo bodegas currently dominate the scene

By Josh Jardine

T

hough arguably a world away, New York City is a mere 2,789 miles from Bend. Its population of 8.8 million is mind-numbing when you consider its small geographic size, and no doubt accounts as a primary reason so many New Yorkers use cannabis.

After decades of draconian, racist policies in arresting and prosecuting cannabis producers, users and sellers, on March 21, 2021, New York made cannabis legal for adult use, and set out to establish a licensed, regulated system for production and sales.

New York’s rules surpass Oregon’s in some ways, allowing those 21 and over to possess 3 ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrate in public, and up to 5 pounds of flower in their home. Consumption in public is allowed anywhere tobacco use is permitted, and in private residences, hotels and motels with the owner’s permission.

The process to approve and license growers and dispensaries is still underway, so cannabis users in New York are all waiting to get stoned until the government says they may.

Oh, wait, turns out they are not.

New York City has always had a thriving underground cannabis scene, as any number of East Coast hip-hop artists have shared. When traveling to New York on tour, I often relied on the ubiquitous bike messengers who would bring cannabis to your home, hotel or recording studio for a price. That price was often $75 to $100 for a 2-gram “eighth,” and frequently bore the telltale signs of hydro flower that had not been flushed properly.

New York predicts dispensaries will open later this year or in 2023, and cannabis tax revenue will total over $1.25 billion over the first six years. The current void of an expected 150 licensed brick-and-mortar dispensaries to legally purchase cannabis has birthed an unprecedented number of fairly brazen operations to score a sack, edible or most any canna product.

This is due in part to the surprisingly chill attitude New York City Mayor Eric Adams initially took. In June, he said the city wasn’t looking to take a “heavy handed” approach to those selling weed illicitly, and that those caught doing so

would face a first-time warning, then a second-time possible summons.

Liking those odds, soon industrious New Yorkers took to providing their fellow bough dwellers with bags through some very public outlets.

Storefronts began popping up, even after the city sent cease and desist letters to 52 shops. The letters didn’t stop others from opening up what “New York” magazine called “weed bodegas”—a hybrid convenience store/smoking supply shop/ dispensary. The article describes how some weed bodega owners plan to enter the regulated marketplace, but tell of operators making $40,000 a day in sales, all untaxed. (Cue the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth of every Oregon dispensary owner.)

“Mobile dispensaries,” aka trucks filled with cannabis products, began appearing on the streets of Gotham, offering to provide products in exchange for a suggested donation. They weren’t discreet in their offerings: painted loud, garish colors with neon green cartoon cannabis leaves and photos of buds.

Over the summer, the city cracked down on the trucks, less so for what they were selling than the greater offenses of illegal parking and unpaid tickets. One company had 12 trucks towed for owing $500,000 in fines and interest. (Super stoner move.)

The Harlem-based Uncle Budd NYC brand started with trucks, then ingeniously pivoted to a Dutchie-style ordering app. They’ll deliver your order with 1/8ths of flower running $30 to $60, five packs of pre rolls for $100 and 1 gram vape carts for $50.

Of course, none of these businesses offer lab-tested products, so potency and terpene contents are unknown/ unverified, as well if any of the products contain unsafe levels of pesticides, solvents, mold or other nasties. And with the EVALI vaping crisis still recent history, some vapers may be skittish about consuming illicit carts.

How these operations flourish when legal dispensaries begin opening remains to be seen, but as Oregon and other states have demonstrated, a functioning regulated Adult Use program doesn’t end “traditional” sales.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): To celebrate Halloween, I suggest you costume yourself as a character you were in a past life. A jeweler in first-century Rome? A midwife in 11th-century China? A salt trader in 14th-century Timbuktu? If you don’t have any intuitions about your past lives, be playful and invent one. Who knows? You might make an accurate guess. Why am I inviting you to try this fun exercise? Because now is an excellent time to re-access resources and powers and potentials you possessed long ago—even as far back as your previous incarnations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I guess it would be difficult to create a practical snake costume for Halloween. How would you move around? You’d have to slither across the floor and the ground everywhere you go. So maybe instead you could be a snake priest or snake priestess—a magic conjurer wearing snake-themed jewelry and clothes and crown. Maybe your wand could be a caduceus. I’m nudging you in this direction is because I think you will benefit from embodying the mythic attributes of a snake. As you know, the creature sheds its old skin to let new skin emerge. That’s a perfect symbol for rebirth, fertility, transformation, and healing. I’d love those themes to be your specialties in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I need my sleep,” proclaimed Sagittarian comedian Bill Hicks.

“I need about eight hours a day and about ten at night.”

I don’t think you will need as much slumber as Hicks in the coming nights, Sagittarius. On the other hand, I hope you won’t scrimp on your travels in the land of dreams. Your decisions in the waking world will improve as you give yourself maximum rest. The teachings you will be given while dreaming will make you extra smart and responsive to the transformations unfolding in your waking life. Halloween costume suggestion: dancing sleepwalker; snoozing genius; angel banishing a nightmare; fantastic dream creature.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Recently, my mom told me my dad only spoke the Slovakian language, never English, until he started first grade in a school near Detroit, Michigan. Both of his parents had grown up in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but immigrated to the United States in their youth. When I related this story to my Slovakian cousin Robert Brežny, he assured me it’s not true. He met my dad’s mother several times, and he says she could not speak Slovakian. He thinks she was Hungarian, in fact. So it’s unlikely my dad spoke Slovakian as a child. I guess all families have odd secrets and mysteries and illusions, and this is one of mine. How about you, Capricorn?

I’m happy to say that the coming months will be a favorable time to dig down to the roots of your family’s secrets and mysteries and illusions. Get started! Halloween costume suggestion: your most fascinating ancestor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): My Aquarian friend Allie told me, “If a demon turned me into a monster who had to devour human beings to get my necessary protein, I would only eat evil billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.” What about you, Aquarius? If you woke up one morning and found you had transformed into a giant wolf-dragon that ate people, who would you put on your menu? I think it’s a good time to meditate on this hypothetical question. You’re primed to activate more ferocity as you decide how you want to fight the world’s evil in the months and years to come. Halloween costume suggestion: a giant wolf-dragon that eats bad people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do you value the feeling of wildness? Is that an experience you seek and cultivate? If so, what conditions rouse it?

How does it feel? When it visits you, does it have a healthy impact? Are you motivated by your pleasurable brushes with wildness to reconfigure the unsatisfying and unwild parts of your life? These are questions I hope you will contemplate in the

coming weeks. The astrological omens suggest you have more power than usual to access wildness. Halloween costume suggestion: whatever makes you feel wild.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Of all the rich philanthropists in the world, Aries author MacKenzie Scott is the most generous. During a recent 12-month period, she gave away $8.5 billion. Her focus is on crucial issues: racial equality, LGBTQ+ rights, pandemic relief, upholding and promoting democracy, and addressing the climate emergency. She disburses her donations quickly and without strings attached, and prefers to avoid hoopla and ego aggrandizement. I suggest we make her your inspirational role model in the coming weeks.

May she motivate you to gleefully share your unique gifts and blessings. I think you will reap selfish benefits by exploring the perks of generosity. Halloween costume suggestion: philanthropist, Santa Claus, compassion freak.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What animal best represents your soul? Which species do you love the most? Now would be a good time to try this imaginative exercise. You’re in a phase when you’ll thrive by nurturing your inner wild thing. You will give yourself blessings by stoking your creature intelligence. All of us are part-beast, and this is your special time to foster the beauty of your beast.

Halloween costume suggestion: your favorite animal or the animal that symbolizes your soul.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): During the tyrannical reign of Spain’s fascist government in the 1930s, Gemini poet Federico García Lorca creatively resisted and revolted with great courage. One critic said Lorca “was all freedom inside, abandon and wildness. A tulip, growing at the foot of a concrete bulwark.” I invite you to be inspired by Lorca’s untamed, heartfelt beauty in the coming weeks, Gemini. It’s a favorable time to rebel with exuberance against the thing that bothers you most, whether that’s bigotry, injustice, misogyny, creeping authoritarianism, or anything else. Halloween costume suggestion: a high-spirited protestor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If the trickster god Mercury gave you permission to do one mischievous thing today and a naughty thing tomorrow and a rascally thing two days from now, what would you choose? Now is the perfect time for you Cancerians to engage in roguish, playful, puckish actions. You are especially likely to get away with them, karma-free—and probably even benefit from them—especially if they are motivated by love. Are you interested in taking advantage of this weird grace period? Halloween costume suggestion: prankster, joker, fairy, elf.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Everyone’s mind constantly chatters with agitated fervor—what I call the ever-flickering flux. We might as well accept this as a fundamental element of being human. It’s a main feature, not a bug. Yet there are ways to tone down the inner commotion. Meditation can help. Communing with nature often works. Doing housework sometimes quells the clamor for me. The good news for you, Leo, is that you’re in a phase when it should be easier than usual to cultivate mental calm. Halloween costume suggestion: meditation champion; tranquility superstar; gold medalist in the relaxation tournament.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Education is an admirable thing,” said author Oscar Wilde. “But it is well to remember that nothing worth knowing can be taught.” What?! That’s an exasperating theory.

I don’t like it. In fact, I protest it. I reject it. I am especially opposed to it right now as I contemplate your enhanced power to learn amazing lessons and useful knowledge and life-changing wisdom.

So here’s my message for you, Virgo: What Oscar Wilde said DOES NOT APPLY to you these days.

Now get out there and soak up all the inspiring teachings that are available to you. Halloween costume suggestion: top student.

Homework: Here’s another Halloween costume suggestion: Be the opposite of yourself. Newsletter.FreeWillAstrology.com

BODYMIND

n Traditional Chinese Medicine, fall is the season for the metal element, which includes the large intestine and lung meridians. The lung meridian involves the skin and hair, the ability to take in life, and the emotions of grief and nostalgia.

In the fall, indoor air pollution becomes more significant. Formaldehyde in building materials, fabrics, markers and photocopiers and dust, germs and mold trapped in heating and ventilation systems can produce respiratory challenges.

Our most important activity, breathing, is nothing to sneeze at: The average healthy adult male inhales 10 quarts of air per minute while resting and 60 or more quarts per minute while exercising. With women the volumes are usually less, but not the consequences.

Because it’s automatic, most of us don’t give a moment’s thought to breathing—absent respiratory challenges. However, because it’s so repetitive—on average 12-15 breaths per minute or 720-900 breaths per hour, all but the most dramatic changes typically go unnoticed, becoming the new normal in just a few hours.

Mechanically, breathing involves more than simple inflation and deflation. On each inhalation, the right and left lung should spiral upward, outward and backward, equally and simultaneously. However, by adulthood, most of us have lung restrictions that preclude bilaterally equal and synchronous inflation and exhalation. These restrictions stem from past infections, vaccinations, collisions, pollution and emotional and spiritual wounds. With 6.2 million breaths per year, lung restrictions are a big, cumulative deal, having huge consequences for our heart, spine, abdominal organs and eventually our brain.

For example, an ultramarathoner I knew was told that he should breathe deep into his belly, so he did. In spades.

Unfortunately, a restriction prevented the middle and lower lobe of his right lung from inflating and shunted the force of inhalation onto his left abdomen. Eventually, the ligament

suspending the colon from the spleen ruptured, creating a life-threatening bowel obstruction.

Many of my former military pain patients presented with fascial armoring around the respiratory diaphragm.

Combined with their other lung restrictions, this made it nearly impossible to pass their physical fitness tests.

Furthermore, each inhalation resulted in their heads jackhammering on their necks. Left uncorrected, this would have eventually destroyed their cervical vertebrae. Having assumed that these challenges were permanent, these men and women were relieved and inspired when they could breathe deeply, easily again.

The flexing of the respiratory diaphragm creates a partial vacuum in the lungs that facilitates inhalation. This partial vacuum provides another essential if largely unrecognized service: lift for the abdominal organs, especially those closest: the liver, stomach, duodenum and spleen. As a result, the effective weight of liver is halved from 7 pounds to 3 ½.

Speaking of the bodymind connection, stress automatically tightens our respiratory diaphragm. Though cumulative, that tension can be released thusly: Take a few normal breaths, noticing which is easier, inhalation or exhalation? Now, briefly and gently interrupt the easier, four or five times on each breath cycle, while doing the more challenged normally. This is not an aerobic exercise. After a minute or two, go back and check: Has the challenged side improved? You can probably move more air with less effort. The exercise also calms the nervous system.

Repeat as often as you like. Always work on the easier side. That’s my trick, your treat. Happy Halloween!

Cheap, Fast, Good

You can’t always get what you want ago, so they’re getting great houses at a great price. But unfortunately, the interest rate is higher, perhaps even “inflated.” Which brings up the million-dollar question: Is now a good time to buy?

The answer is… it depends. There are all kinds of personal factors that come into play, but right now there seem to be a couple of competing theories about what is going to play out in the housing market over the next few months or years. Some think that interest rates will continue to rise to control inflation. This will decrease demand further, and home prices will have to drop to attract buyers.

On the other hand, if inflation has slowed enough and rates are able to come down, demand would pick up and buyers would be competing against each other again. The point is that there is always a reason to buy and there is always a reason to wait. Having said that, right now it can be hard to determine what is going to happen in the housing market and economy in general, so it is always best to consider a multitude of factors and scenarios and work through how they all might impact your decision to buy a home in today’s economic environment. I don’t have a crystal ball and cannot predict the future, so I can’t be certain of how any of this will play out. Sorry.

t has been a wild ride for us agents working with clients looking to buy in 2022. The year began with a frenzy of people looking to buy after the FED announced its plans to increase rates throughout 2022. The selling season started early and as interest rates increased, demand decreased a bit— but we’ve remained in a seller’s market to this point in the year. People have been discussing a “crash” of the housing market, but what we are seeing is exactly what was expected: a cooling of the market, as interest rates increase.

So, while prices are no longer soaring, demand has decreased, inventory is starting to come back and sellers are competing for buyers more than in the last few years. Sounds like a great time to buy—except that the increase in interest rates has stretched affordability to the limit. Lots of discussion about timing the market; the problem is that it is hard to get everything you want when buying a home, because it is so rare to get a low price and low rate on a home you love. It is a lot like the saying, “Fast, cheap, or good; pick two.” The same goes for the real estate market; you can get a good price or a good rate, but rarely do they ever coincide. The last couple of years people got great houses, at a great rate, but they were paying a premium or perhaps even an “inflated price.” Right now, buyers can negotiate lower prices than even a few months
