REPORTER / CALENDAR EDITOR Cayla Clark cayla@bendsource.com

This week’s coverage is likely indicative of what’s ahead in the coming election year: so many things happening that we published a good deal of informative stories online, mid-week, leaving room for other stories in print. Coverage included Rep. Greg Walden’s decision not to run again for U.S. House. In the wake of that, there’s been a flurry of speculation about who will run for his seat. That kind of information couldn’t wait for our weekly print news cycle.

Media outlets such as ours are constantly asking ourselves whether we should be “print first” or “digital first.” Should we hold all the good stuff ‘til press day and offer analysis of the situation, or get it out quickly? The answer is both, depending on what serves readers best. Our daily newsletter, Cascades Reader, gives us a forum to be at once a weekly and a daily news outlet, but decisions about what to cover are a balancing act for our team. As we look ahead to our election coverage, we know our website and newsletters will continue to be sources of helpful, up-to-date info, with our print edition offering more analysis. As a Source reader, we hope you see this multi-pronged approach working for you. If you have thoughts, drop me a line at editor@bendsource.com. Like a healthy democracy, we believe local media should serve readers in the ways readers want and need!

OPINION

As Walden Preps to Exit the 2nd District Spot, Let’s Stop Calling it “GOP Country”

O

n Monday, Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR2) announced that after serving as a member of Congress in Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District for over 20 years, he will not be running for re-election in 2020, and will not run for any other office.

It seems that for Oregonians on the eastern side of the state, the fury of national politicking just came home to roost. We can expect the 2020 election to be even more intense now, with the question of who will live in the White House—as well as who will represent roughly 2/3rds of the land mass of Oregon in Congress—put before us.

As we look back at Walden’s time as our elected representative in the U.S. House, we can’t say we’re sad to see him go. Unlike our U.S. Senators, who make themselves available and readily announce their presence when they come to Central Oregon, Walden has been like a secretive ship in the night.

Just this month, we reached out to Rep. Walden to ask his take on a few issues.

We received a form email thank-you note, but, in spite of repeated attempts to reach both his email and his staff via phone, we received nothing else. The same week, we discovered he had actually been in Central Oregon during that time, meeting with private groups zhas been Walden’s m.o.: Giving credence to the people with whom he agrees; ignoring the rest.

This is not the type of representation this vast swath of Oregon deserves— not least of all because, in spite of popular opinion, this portion of the state, mostly east of the Cascades, is not as red as some would have you believe.

Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District is a very mixed bag, politically, and its voters deserve a representative who aims to represent them all.

According to September voting rolls reported by Oregon’s Secretary of State, the 2nd District includes 143,353 registered Democrats, 189,893 Republicans and 197,584 non-affiliated voters. Read that again. While it’s true that the number of registered Republicans outnumbers Democrats by 46,540, the number of non-affiliated voters outnumbers each of them handily. Anyone aiming to represent this district in the coming years will do well to remember those numbers.

There are far too many voters who haven’t claimed allegiance to any party, and they deserve representation.

(If any voter statistics were a case for changing Oregon’s primary system to one that allows non-affiliated voters to weigh in without registering with a party, the 2nd Congressional District would be one.)

As this Congressional race heats up, you can expect Deschutes County to be

a “battleground county.” This is where voters are very nearly split evenly between Democrats, Republicans and non-affiliated voters, and also where Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner bested Walden in the 2018 House race— the first time Walden lost the county during his time as Congressman. It’s highly likely that Deschutes County was on Walden’s mind when he told Politico recently that his district “sure as heck ain’t getting any redder.”

Walden may have looked to the 2018 election as a sign that his prospects would be even tougher in the coming election. Add in the fact that the current president—also a Republican—is facing impeachment proceedings and it’s not terribly shocking that Walden is looking for the exit. While Walden cannot be construed as a party-line apologist for the president, he has certainly not shown the type of non-partisan, anti-corruption thoughtfulness we would like to see from all Republican lawmakers right now. It is not unreasonable to ask that reasonable Republicans come out publicly against the solicitation of foreign interference in our elections. Our very democracy is at stake, and that should matter more to Republicans than keeping a cad in the White House.

Whoever wins the election in the 2nd Congressional District, we hope they remember that. Oregonians deserve a reasonable statesperson who doesn’t play favorites or sides, and who is willing to call a spade a spade, in spite of party.

In the year to come, as Walden serves out the rest of his final term, we’d like to see that from him as well.

But based on his history, we won’t hold our breath.

IN RESPONSE TO “BETRAYAL OF THE KURDS,” LETTERS, 10/24

Fine letter from Col. Carwile.

One has to wonder, too, about the fear with which the autocrats Erdogan, Putin and Trump regard the Kurdish people, who had set us a society in northern Syria based on egalitarianism and full empowerment for women. A renowned germophobe, Trump described his attempt at genocide as “cleaning out” the Kurds. His clinical condition could be redefined as abject fear of those germs of ideas that portend new and inspiring ways for humankind to live.

“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?”

- “Signs” Five Man Electrical Band, 1971 I was delighted to see two letters in the 10/3/19 Opinions section of the Source Weekly extolling the virtues of yard signs. Because politics is permanent nowadays instead of only for a few months every four years, I have wanted to install 20 durable political signs in my front yard for the past couple of years but have refrained from doing so because I had thought that my neighbors would consider it rude or obnoxious.

These two writers assured me that far from being rude or obnoxious, my 20 political signs will be “community beacons” that will proudly take advantage of my First Amendment right to freedom of

expression. (I had erroneously thought that social media, telephones, e-mails, in-person conversations, and letters to editors provide enough outlets to ensure my freedom of expression.) By installing them in my yard I will provide an important contribution to our city and be considered a “silent leader, a watchman, and an angel.” Furthermore, I was relieved to discover that I need not concern myself with people who dislike yard signs because such people are probably cantankerous, intolerant bullies having troubled interpersonal relationships with neighbors and family members.

Good to know!

I’ll begin welding my 20 steel and rebar political signs tomorrow. Because I like his views on immigration and international commerce, 10 pro-Trump signs will be cemented into my yard on the right side of my driveway; because I dislike his views on the environment and international politics, 10 anti-Trump signs will be cemented into my yard on the left side of my driveway. I thank those writers for their approval of my yard signs and for their astute psychoanalysis of the democracy-hating and suspiciously sociopathic anti-yard sign mentality! That was awesome!

Is Colonel Carwile suggesting that the U.S. should have remained in Southeast Asia to protect our allies there?

I think not. We stayed too long, with tragic consequences.

Loyalty is a virtue, critically important in military matters. But let us be loyal first to our own citizens. We should focus on our own borders, and stem the flow of drugs and criminal aliens.

As we move towards energy independence we should be able reduce our presence in the Middle East. Our NATO allies can afford to pick up the tab in the ongoing confrontation with radical Islam. Trump is keeping a campaign promise.

Cattle Mutilations and a Satanic Cult?

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / OCTOBER 31, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Experts weigh in on the disturbing, ongoing mutilations of livestock in Central Oregon

By Cayla Clark

O

ver the course of the past three decades, over 10,000 animals across the U.S. have been systematically and inexplicably mutilated.

In 1975, Kansas ranchers Stanley and Carol Post discovered one of their cows dead—a hematoma on its head, its genitalia and udders surgically removed. Around the same time, they found a calf with its eye taken cleanly out of the socket; the end of the optic nerve cauterized to prevent bleeding.

During the same year, Democratic Senator Floyd K. Haskell contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigations, urging that they look into the 130 mutilations that had taken place throughout the state of Colorado. Meanwhile in Oregon, people reported a total of 73 cattle mutilations.

Reports died down after the early ‘80s and didn’t pick up again until recently. At the end of July 2019, a dead bull showed up on Silvies Valley Ranch in

Central Oregon. Within 24 hours, ranch hands had discovered four more carcasses. The cattle’s tongues and genitals had been surgically removed, and they had been completely drained of blood.

It’s a tabloid-worthy topic, seeing as a great deal of conspiracy theory surrounds the mutilations. The events have certainly had no lack of media coverage, leading to a host of crazy conjectures ranging from Bigfoot to government corruption. The popular opinion, however, seems to be extraterrestrial activity – sneaky aliens coming down to Earth, mutilating livestock and creeping back to their UFOs, tote bags full of souvenir cow penises.

Another widespread speculation is the involvement of Satanic cults.

Interestingly enough, according to local experts, this may be the most likely theory.

Scott Duggan, a livestock agent in Central Oregon and Warm Springs,

and a livestock extension agent for Oregon State University Extension Service, offered some professional insight. “I’d be a liar if I didn’t say it had us all pretty stumped,” he said.

“Our first thought was poisonous plants. Lupine was really prevalent this spring… but killing a bull is no small feat.” Duggan explained that if the cattle did die as a result of lupine consumption (which isn’t likely), crows and magpies may have eaten their eyes—but what about the precisely removed genitalia, and the fact that the animal had been completely drained of blood? David Bohnert, a ruminant nutritionist and extension beef cattle specialist, also with OSU Extension Service, offered his professional opinion as well.

In an email to the Source Weekly, Bohnert wrote, “I believe that someone killed the bulls. Death of healthy cattle on rangelands is normally due to one of three situations. These are: 1.

Naturally occurring causes such as poisonous plants and unfortunate circumstances/accidents such as drowning, lightning, etc.; 2. Predation (wolves, cougars, bears, etc.) and; 3. Humans killing for fun, rituals, food, etc.”

Bohnert continued, “The time of year that the bulls were killed, and the locations of the animals where they died would make it highly unlikely that

this was due to poisonous plants,” he continued. “Also, it does not appear to be predation, based on the condition of the bulls. This leaves human causes as the most likely explanation in my opinion.”

Duggan added, “It’s got to be some group doing some strange ritual.

Human activity certainly seems possible. It is absolutely the strangest thing ever.” He went on to explain that cattle in Central Oregon are on high alert due to an increase in wolf attacks. In order for humans to successfully approach the cattle, they would’ve had to use a tranquilizer gun.

Colby Marshall, vice president of the Silvies Valley Ranch, explained just how difficult it would have been to bring the bulls down in a recent interview with The Oregonian. “How somebody put these bulls on the ground at what would be arguably a fairly close range — and to do it in a way that didn’t leave any signs, no trace evidence, no footprints, no struggle marks from the animal, no broken limbs — I have no idea,” he said.

For now, the cattle mutilations remain a mystery.

The owners of Silvies Valley Ranch are willing to pay a $25,000 reward for any tip that leads to an arrest and conviction.

An exhaustive look at emissions and solid waste from cars

By Suzanne Johnson

Tire recycling is gaining traction Americans dispose of more than 250 million tires from personal vehicles each year, according to the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association. Until the 1990s, stockpiles of old tires attracted mosquitos and

rats, caused smoldering fires and took up a lot of space. Better recycling technologies mean that today almost all tires are collected, stripped to separate Kevlar or steel bands and shredded into rubber granules.

Recyclers process the granules into fuel for industrial furnaces designed to trap toxic emissions. Granules can be added to asphalt or flooring. Rubber mulch has been sold for yards and playgrounds— though a 2015 study from Washington State University found that rubber mulch increases fire risks and leaches heavy metals and chemicals toxic to plants.

In Deschutes County, worn tires are accepted at Knott Landfill for a small fee. From the landfill, tires are sent to Prineville for shredding and processing.

The best way to keep tires out of the recycling bin is to extend their lifespan.

Tire experts at Les Schwab suggest rotating tires every 5,000 miles, checking air pressure and tread monthly and keeping tires dry and covered when in storage. Purchasing used tires is a cost-effective and more sustainable option, as long as they’re less than six years old with a safe tread depth.

Low-tech batteries get high-tech recycling Most cars still rely on old-fashioned lead-acid batteries. Eventually the parts corrode and the power fades, but the lead and acid stay fully present—so both need to stay out of the landfill and the water supply.

Oregonians can bring used batteries to recycling stations like Knott Landfill, or can bring an old battery to the retailer when buying a new battery. The used batteries are returned to the manufacturer for recycling.

Recycling a battery involves separating out the plastic and metal parts, neutralizing the acid and removing the lead plates.

Threadbare tires ready for shredding.

Lead, like most metals, can be recycled over and over without degrading the quality. Almost all new car batteries sold today are made with recycled lead.

reflects the weight recycled, not the volume.

Cars today are up to 50% plastic by volume, and much of that still ends up in a landfill.

Options to shrink your carbon output As the City’s new transportation plan outlines, cars dominate the transportation world in Bend—but we can lessen dependence on them. The plan found at bendoregon.gov/city-projects offers key routes for biking and walking. Info on which bus routes might fit a local person’s routines can be found at cascadeseasttransit.com.

Electric cars cut greenhouse gas emissions significantly, and Bend is working to install more charging stations. Cassie Lacy, senior management analyst for the City of Bend, stresses that electric cars come with a different set of environmental problems. “We’re trying to align the TSP with Bend’s Climate Action Plan, and supporting electric cars is part of that, but we need to do it right,” she said.

Making commutes a social thing also reduces overall emissions. Van pooling, ride sharing and walking school buses are three options facilitated by Commute Options, a Bend-based organization that promotes alternative commuting options for Central and Eastern Oregonians.

“Driving less means lowered emissions and less traffic,” said Kim Curley of Commute Options. “That brings a better quality of life for all of us.”

Motor oil: Every drop matters The EPA estimates that 200 million gallons of motor oil is dumped into rivers, onto soil or into landfills each year.

Not only is that oil wasted when it could be reused, but the environmental impact is long lasting: just one pint of oil can slick over an entire acre of fresh water.

Americans use 3 billion gallons of motor oil annually to keep cars running.

Motor oil doesn’t wear out, it just gets dirty. Filtered, cleaned motor oil recycles into different industrial lubricants, and new refining techniques are raising the purity of recycled oil to match new oil.

In Bend, used motor oil is accepted at the landfill recycling center. Plastic oil containers and metal oil filters must be disposed of in the trash, however. They’re too contaminated to recycle.

Scrap yards closing the loop No longer the final resting spot for wrecked or old cars, scrap yards now work to minimize auto waste. Fluids are drained and recycled, usable parts are removed and sold, and bodies crushed before separating the materials.

Industry standards state that 80% of scrapped cars are recycled, but that number

ransportation is on the mind of many Bendites this fall, as the City of Bend works through a new 20-year Transportation System Plan to keep people moving safely and efficiently over roads, bus routes and pathways. An estimated 40,000 people have moved to Bend since the previous plan was written, and most brought cars with them.

Nationwide, transportation contributes almost 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Environmental Protection Agency—and almost 60% of those emissions come from passenger cars and small trucks. The average car doses out 24 pounds of CO2 for every gallon of gas burned.

Reducing emissions is a stated goal of Bend’s proposed transportation plan.

Meeting that goal means factoring in safe routes for walking and bikes, transit options and even land use policy, explained Karen Swirsky, senior planner for the City of Bend.

“Clustered neighborhoods are important.

For example, a neighborhood grocery cuts down driving significantly,” she said.

In the spirit of more sustainable transportation, this month’s “Wasted in Bend” takes a look at waste generated by our primary mode of transport: the automobile.

Autos create waste beyond the tailpipe emissions: every car owner eventually deals with threadbare tires, old batteries, engine fluids, and the metals and plastics that make up the car itself.

What happens to all of these worn out parts?

IRATE NEIGHBORS, NEW PARKING RESTRICTIONS LEND TO INCREASED TENSIONS FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS By Magdalena Bokowa

L

ike any college student, Colin P. has his share of stresses—balancing difficult homework assignments, passing midterms, all the while working a part time minimum wage job and squeezing in the odd social activity. “It’s been an adjustment period for sure,” says the 29-year-old Army vet, who moved to Bend just a few months ago. “It’s been much more difficult than I anticipated… I’m feeling drained.

Sometimes I wonder if I’ll even make it to next term...especially since it’s been hard to keep up on showers and it’s been getting so cold at night. I mean, 13 degrees in October? I’m worried about the actual winter, man.”

Showering and staying warm is difficult for the hopeful student because, Colin, like a growing number of Bendites, doesn’t have access to bathroom facilities, a furnace or even a bed. That’s because he lives in his car.

On the fringes The housing affordability crisis, so prevalent in recent years, has exacerbated a homelessness crisis. Local advocates report a growing number of individuals who can no longer afford stable housing spend nights sleeping in their only asset, their vehicles.

The demographic is varied and the true numbers hard to gauge—from transitory situations like Colin, to students and travelers, to the chronic homeless bounce in and out of shelters.

“We know a lot of people [live] in their cars,” says J.W Terry, executive director of Central Oregon Veteran’s Outreach, which provides homeless services in Crook, Jefferson and Deschutes counties. More than 55% of the population they service are non-veterans. Speaking to Colin’s situation, Terry acknowledges it’s not a unique case. “We have a lot of veterans going to school that live in their cars… and contrary to popular belief, living on campus isn’t a heck of a lot cheaper than living off campus.”

Terry adds, “There’s zero low-income housing. And don’t use the quote ‘affordable housing,’ it’s low -income housing, and there’s zero. And when you do talk affordable, affordable for who?

Anyone that’s making $12 bucks an hour can’t afford it. There’s very little affordable housing here in Bend.”

Touring Colin’s cramped wagon, the student stashes his belongings to one side so he can lie down at night and pins up makeshift curtains for a bit of privacy. He showers once a week, on Wednesday, at the shower truck outside of the Bend United

Methodist Church. He’s been trying out different areas to park, from westside neighborhoods to Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service areas. He likes to be close to school to cut down on gas costs, so he opts for city streets during the weekdays, which “can get hectic if you choose the wrong neighborhood,” and the

stressful being woken up to a flashlight being shone straight down onto you.”

Kathy Skidmore, COVO’s executive officer, talks about the stresses she sees with those experiencing homelessness. “Once you’re homeless, everything starts falling apart. You lose your credit, your rental history… which impacts you

“Twice when I parked near a nicer home, I had a police encounter because someone reported a ‘suspicious vehicle.’ It can be stressful being woken up to a flashlight being shone straight down onto you.”

—Colin B. forest for weekends. He says he’s stressed constantly about being caught and hides his homeless status from work colleagues for fear of being stigmatized since, “I’m not living in a van, you know. It’s a shitty car.

“I’ve gotten my first grey hair this year,” he says half-chuckling. Most of his interactions with homeowners have been brief. “I mostly just have experiences with passive-aggressive notes being left on my car telling me to move. Twice when I parked near a nicer home, I had a police encounter because someone reported a ‘suspicious vehicle.’ It can be

It’s tough.”

COVO offers services for those in need and can give assistance to application fees, deposits and “other barriers to get into housing,” including, “addressing legal or credit issues, anything that is a barrier to be successfully housed.”

Homelessness on the rise In 2019, the number of people who experienced homelessness in Central Oregon jumped up 12% to 880 people since the previous year, according to the

Parking restrictions in Bend In June, the Bend City Council tightened parking restrictions, shortening the time people can park cars on public right-of-ways from five calendar days to three business days. Citing increased concerns from citizens, the council voted 4-2 to change the ordinance, intending to maximize parking turnover.

“We need to send a message that we’re doing something,” councilor Bruce Abernethy said in a June City Council meeting, who additionally proposed a sliding-scale fee for repeat offenders.

“All they have to do is move,” says Bend Police Lt. Juli-Ann McConkey.

“That’s the simple solution. It’s a parking issue. So the simple solution is to move.”

McConkey says that the department’s problem-orientated team focuses on livability issues, stating, “They go out and make contact with people who are living in their vehicles and figuring out services and resources for them.” She also adds that a new community outreach officer position will be put in place by the end of the year and will work with COVO to figure out solutions. “Is it as simple as, ‘I will pick you up and drop you off at Worksource to better the circumstances?’” she adds.

McConkey, who says Bend PD is strictly the enforcers of the City of Bend’s amendment and holds no official position as to the change, says those in their vehicles who are facing an interaction with an officer should be “open to suggestions from a law enforcement officer….

On where to go, what to do. And just keep moving the vehicle so it’s not getting called in.” McConkey states that the parking issue is strictly a “complaint-driven process... We don’t actively go out and seek vehicles that aren’t moving.”

Her solution for those wishing to avoid the three-day rule would be to try other areas. “There’s BLM. There’s Forest Service. There’s a lot of places people can go

and stay longer than the allotted time we have in the city. Different people have different options. It depends, if somebody is living in La Pine that might be a better option that someone living in Bend.”

While different land managers have differing rules, in the local area, people can stay in one place on Forest Service or BLM lands for up to two weeks at a time before needing to move on.

Growing pains A quick search of the community-based social media platform Nextdoor conjures multiple posts of people irate at the growing number of vehicles parked in their neighborhoods. “Watch out for an old white dented Corolla, parked ILLEGALLY for days on my street. Lock your car doors people!” reads one post, among a scattering of similar threads complaining of “eyesores” littering the streets. “My alleyway smells like piss,” reads another, “I found toilet-paper in the bushes.”

When a parked car is reported to Bend PD, volunteers respond to tag the vehicle. If unmoved after three days, the car is then towed and impounded—a costly process that may amount to hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, for the owner.

McConkey says in September, 225 cars got citations for violating parking rules and 36 were towed. Apart from the parking restrictions, vehicles may be fined or impounded for other reasons, including having an expired vehicle registration of more than 30 days.

That brings up an entirely new problem: those living in the cars losing their vehicles because of lack of registration, driver’s license or insurance. According to Consolidated Towing, Bend PD’s

contracted tower, a person retrieving their vehicle must show proof of all three. Not only that, they must pay to retrieve their vehicle in cash, as no credit cards are accepted for cars impounded by the police—a barrier which can leave many unable to pay. In the worstcase scenarios, people lose their vehicle to either auction or salvage, forcing them to seek shelter elsewhere.

A man who wished to remain anonymous because of an impending court date said he had his vehicle impounded and was unable to conjure up the nearly $900 to get it back. Not only did he face the costs of the tow, the new registration and insurance costs, but the daily impound fee, which varies drastically from tow operators and can be on average $40 to $50 a day. He said he had to pay approximately $100 to retrieve personal belongings before his vehicle was to be “crushed.”

COVO Homeless Outreach Coordinator David Nieradka says he sees the problem quite often. “You see guys with four or five DUIS, no registration, living in cars. They’re in survival mode. There is no game plan for them.

It’s just day-to-day.”

A solution: safe parking Up until recently there were areas within Bend and Redmond where individuals could camp overnight without being hassled—Walmart being one.

“We’ve lost both Walmarts in our areas,” says Skidmore. “They patrol now. You can see the difference, the lot is empty.

So that option’s gone now.”

Designated safe parking lots are spaces for people who live in their cars that don’t draw the wrath of residents or the prying eyes of police officers.

Safe parking areas exist in Eugene, Los Angeles and Palo Alto, California. Beaverton, Oregon launched a new safe parking area in April, with six spots over two sites.

City officials want to expand to up to 15 spots over five spots. The ACLU notes the legislative barrier, stating that, “laws limit the ability of cities and private parties to provide legal and safe sleeping arrangements for their unhoused community members.” For example, a church’s property could provide a place for individuals to park, however state law prohibits accommodating more than three vehicles, and sanitation facilities must be provided.

“So it’s possible you just need to find people willing to do it,” says Skidmore.

Who then adds, “But we can’t even get a warming shelter set up in Bend.”

J.W Terry notes that what’s needed is a one-stop camp. “If I ever won, you know the lottery, I’d set up a camp that has rooms available—you have your medical, your counseling, everything is there, one stop. You have a captive audience right there. You’re not sending them all over the city.” He also notes, “throwing them in a house is not enough. They were homeless for a reason and if you can’t work with them for the reasons they were homeless, they’re going to be homeless again.”

Terry himself has noticed a slight uptick in individuals requiring COVO’s assistance, and remains devoted to the cause. “It takes some community buyin and we’re not there yet... I think there’s a few people starting to listen,” noting that, “You can’t keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. We’re not getting a different result. There’s an increase in homeless, so what we’re doing isn’t all that’s needed.”

Chris Miller

In June 2019, soon after new parking limits went into place, Source Reporter Chris Miller sought reaction from local people who live in their vehicles.

This is a file photo from NE Emerson Ave. and 2nd St., where Miller talked with numerous people who often park on city streets overnight. Most said they were worried about how the changes would affect their abilty to park and sleep in peace.

9 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 44 / OCTOBER 31, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

annual Point in Time report carried out by the Central Oregon Homeless Leadership Coaltion, under guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In the entire state of Oregon, 14,500 people are experiencing homelessness at any given time, with the state experiencing the largest growth of chronic homelessness of any state in the nation, according to a 2017 report by the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon—which brought to light the growing number of cities that are criminalizing homelessness by tightening laws pertaining to sleeping in public areas.

“Laws that criminalize poverty and homelessness fuel prejudices and stereotypes and spur further criminalization and community divide,” the report reads, adding Oregon has 224 laws which “create clear barriers to performing life sustaining activities and legalize the unfair and harmful treatment of unhoused communities.”

According to street outreach interviews conducted by the Western Regional Advocacy Project, of 496 unhoused Oregonians, 87% noted being harassed for sleeping in a vehicle, with 41% percent being cited.

Gulf Coast Western

Charley Crockett’s got a new album, a new look on life and maybe even a new genre of music (trademark pending)

By Isaac Biehl

C

harley Crockett is a man of the South.

Even though he—as Crockett puts it—has “hobo’d around” to many corners of the country, he still feels a special connection to the place that made him: a trailer outside of Los Fresnos, in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Other places that have left stamps on Crockett include the French Quarter in New Orleans, Dallas and New York, as he played in a number of subway cars working on his craft.

I spoke with Crockett on the phone while he and the band were at a mechanic shop in Lubbock, Texas, gearing up to make the road trip to Bend for his first-ever show here. We talked about his new album, “The Valley,” hitchhiking and being a street performer, his connection to the Rio Grande Valley and even his clothes. Crockett is the smoothest dressed cowboy you might ever see.

Crockett recorded “The Valley” in January, just one week before he was set to have two open heart surgeries. A bold choice, some might think, but Crockett, 35, knew it was something he needed to do.

“I’ve always used music to get me through, ya know? It might seem like a crazy time to record but it was something I was able to really focus on and was a really positive thing for me,” Crocket recalls. “I knew if I didn’t make that record then I probably wouldn’t have put out a record at all this year. I was sitting there recovering from surgeries and sh*t, being on my medications and rehab—having those recordings was the most comforting thing in the world.”

The result is Crockett’s most personal album to date—and a nod to home.

“I was young enough up until that point to not really be aware of my mortality. I’d never been faced with it on that level. I was scared, man,” says Crockett.

“The older I get the more I visualize the Valley in my mind. It’s a very comforting thing for me. I didn’t really think about it until this moment, but I guess that’s really why I made that record the way I did— how comforting the idea of the Valley in my mind is as a place of refuge.”

Crockett paints a picture of his home region—from black gators in the lagoon to grapefruit and orange groves, 10-foot tall sugarcane, mesquite trees and the plethora of Tejano music. “The valley is a magical place, man. I could take you down there and show you in a very magical way.”

Still, places beyond home shaped him, too. For many years Crockett lived the life of a troubadour—sleeping where he could, hitchhiking and street performing. As one would imagine, street performing is a total different ballgame than the mainstream music industry. As Crockett says, you’re playing in places where people aren’t expecting you—where you’re not the main attraction.

“This might sound cheesy, but one of the things I learned out on the street is how to stand behind my guitar. I learned how to become that person. That this was my place in the world.”

Seeing people put money right into his guitar case was a teaching moment for Crockett, as he was able to see what actually worked from a performer’s perspective. Today you might say that Crockett wears some of the coolest outfits around, but it was initially his way of catching people’s eye—and it also helped his hitchhiking because, “It’s easier to get picked up on the side of the highway when you don’t look like you’re going to stink their car up.”

Crockett has also become known for his fantastic covers of some of music’s greatest gems through his “Lil G.L.” projects.

Lyza Renee

Crockett says he used to go to thrift stores for the “$5 brown bag special,” even rolling western suits into a tight roll so he could get more bang for his bucks.

His take on Tanya Tucker’s “Jamestown Ferry” is incredible—as are his versions of “The Lost Highway” by Hank Williams or the “T-Bone Walker” by T-Bone Walker.

“I had a dude tell me this in New York City on the Upper West Side, I was playing in this coffee shop. He said, ‘Man, you strike me as a young man that never spent any time wondering if you were good or not.’ And I guess that’s how I approach my music,” Crockett tells the Source. “I’ll tell you what my real secret is: I learned very quickly that if I tried to sing it like them that I would look bad. Nobody can sing like George Jones. Literally.”

While many people would call out Crockett’s music as country or blues, he’s found this sweet spot that touches the edges of a lot of other genres like folk, soul, and even R&B—kind of the way the Gulf Coast touches the borders of so many states. To this day Crockett is big fan of rap

music. Growing up, he was heavily influenced by the Chopped and Screwed era of hip-hop, developed in the South. Even he doesn’t know what to call his music yet.

“I’ve always called it by region—Texas or Louisiana music. Country soul is another one they call it,” says Crockett. “Recently, me and my drummer in the band were watching a movie on the bus and at the end of the movie the Paramount Pictures thing came up and the screen froze—and underneath the mountain it said ‘Gulf Coast Western.’ So that’s a new term we’ve been using. I put it on a t-shirt—I think we might have made that up. Put that in the article so I can lay claim to it!”

A Visit from a Prankster

Ken Babbs makes a visit to Worthy Brewing—which contains its own relics of hippie days gone by

By Nicole Vulcan

a graduate writing program at Stanford University, the two becoming fast friends.

Most will be at least somewhat familiar with the story of the Pranksters, who traveled around the country in a magical school bus named Further, experimented with psychedelics, espoused creating art out of real life, buddied up with a band that would eventually be named Grateful Dead and wrote extensively about their exploits. Babbs and Kesey eventually teamed up to write Kesey’s final novel, “Last Go Round,” in 1994, set at the Pendleton Roundup in 1911.

“It was like a big tsunami; we were lucky to ride the wave,” Babbs said of the period of experimentation and opening of consciousness that was the 1960s. Starting out, Babbs told me he and the Pranksters Rcarlburg, Wikimedia

Ken Kesey’s original bus, “Further," rolling down the road to adventure. The Further bus that Kesey's son now drives is a later iteration of the bus.

weren’t envisioning being infamous ringleaders of the psychedelic circus, but as he said, chuckling: “Tom Wolfe’s book made us the poster children of the ‘60s.”

He may largely live a quiet life today, but being among those “poster children” still affords Babbs plenty of opportunities to get out. This week, he’ll appear at Worthy Brewing on Wednesday for the event, “Ken Babbs: Stories from The Pranksters, The Bus and Woodstock.”

Babbs said he plans to read from his most recent, as-yet-unpublished novel, “Cronies,” which recalls his adventures with Neil Cassady and Kesey, as well as talking about his insider knowledge of the making of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Kesey worked at a mental hospital while working on the novel—a job that would help him bring the daily life of that type of facility to life.

In Bend, Worthy Brewing may be the ideal backdrop for the event, since it, too, contains its own ties to Oregon hippie-days lore. The tables, bartops and ceiling in the brew pub were salvaged from the former Oregon State Hospital, where “One Flew Over” was shot in 1975.

“I met producer Michael Douglas in ‘74 or ‘75 at an OSU-UCLA basketball game at Gill Coliseum and got hooked on the story,” Roger Worthington, owner of Worthy Brewing, told the Source Weekly. “Most of the hospital was demolished in 2009, and I bought up 16,000 square feet (of wood).”

Worthington describes the event as being, “Art, courage, chemistry and space travel all in one.”

ARTWATCH

Babbs describes himself as a consummate entertainer—on top of being dang good at cutting firewood.

For Babbs, who also spends much of his life playing music and writing, events such as these represent a re-ignition of a certain type of consciousness, fostered by his old pal Kesey, who died in 2001 in Eugene, Oregon.

Quoting Kesey, Babbs said, “The only true currency in America is that of the spirit—so anything you can do to bring people’s spirits up is a good thing.”

Finding joy in sculpture

N

ot long ago, I took a stroll downtown to see what I could find in the way of inspiration. I stopped into Red Chair Gallery and found artist Alisa Looney’s sweet enamel sculptures that are rich with storytelling, humor and a love and respect for nature.

Looney doesn’t just work with small enamel sculptures; she also creates large fabricated pieces, bright in color and lively in shape. It is easy to understand, when looking at her work, that Looney has a background in both dance and design.

“Overall, my work is about bringing people into connecting with nature and finding joy, because things are so difficult right now in our world,” shares Looney. Her large sculptures can be found in Oregon in Cannon Beach and Portland, and even in Washington and Idaho.

Submitted

Left, "Contact No. 2 (Bench)," made from powder coated steel. Right, "Nesting Maiden."

This desire for joy shows up in Looney’s work, whether large metal sculptures or her smaller, more whimsical enamel sculptures filled with enticing illustrations that beckon with their stories. Her connection to nature is noticeable, too, with her large sculptures containing swirly cut-outs that represent our connection to water.

Currently her smaller enamel metal work is on display at Red Chair Gallery in Bend, but her work is also included in Alchemy 5, an international juried enamel exhibition, opening Nov. 23 at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington. The exhibition highlights the best in contemporary enamels produced in the last two years.

Looney and her husband, artist Wade Womac, moved to Bend about a year ago after many years in the Portland area. The artistic couple found their perfect spot in the woods ( just south of Sunriver) where they built their studio and made a space they hope to share with other artists, art lovers and those curious about finding their own creative process, called River Art Adventures.

In November, Looney will offer two intro-to-enameling classes—including a day-long class where attendees make a pair of earrings, and a four-day intensive where attendees explore enamel metal sculpture and create their own wall relief sculpture, as well as some smaller test pieces. It seems like a rich opportunity for people to find their own story with a master of the craft.

f you ask Ken Babbs what he’s up to these days, he’ll tell you his life largely revolves around the rearing of a new Golden Labrador puppy, named Mabel.

If you’ve ever raised—or have even been around—a lab puppy, you know why she’s taking up so much of his free time.

Babbs, a founding member of the Merry Pranksters, lives a pretty chill life, settled down on a 6-acre plot on the eastern slope of the Cascades with his wife, a cow and calf, and now, Mabel. On top of puppy rearing, chopping firewood is his jam.

It’s a far cry from some of his more free-wheeling days—ones that would be eventually entered into the canon of hippie fandom through books including Tom Wolfe’s “The Electric Kool-aid Acid Test.” In 1958, Babbs met Ken Kesey in

Bike-Minded Individuals

Don and Karla Hamon travel the country on two wheels, advocating for cruelty-free food systems, and living without regrets

By Cayla Clark

Don and Karla Hamon on one of their grand adventures.

Veganism is an important part of their lives, and living cruelty-free is a message they’re compelled to share. However, the real message they’ve been working hard to spread is that of living—encouraging those they meet to start living without regret and living today, because life is both short and uncertain.

Since the two later-life-lovers starting taking motorcycle trips in 2014, they’ve traversed more than 22 national parks throughout the U.S. (and four in Canada). Their journeys have taught them vital lessons about life, love and the human race. They explained that traveling through rural areas in more conservative states was always interesting.

“I think the biggest takeaway I’ve gotten from all this mostly rural travel is the fact that people are nice. Politics have drawn us into artificial groups, but at their hearts, most people are genuinely

“The Starless Sea”

by Erin Morgenstern Hard to believe it’s been eight years since Morgenstern’s debut novel, “The Night Circus” was released to near-universal acclaim. Her new follow-up is deeper, darker and quite a bit more complex—but wow, if you just slow down and let it wash over you, you’ll be richly rewarded for the effort. Intertwined myths and origin tales of the characters evolve into a quest and a battle for the very existence of a secret world—an

underground library that itself contains lost cities, lost lovers and ships sailing on starless seas. Storytelling

kind. People may make faces at our ‘vegan’ license plate or the huge sign on our bike, but if you need help, almost everyone is there for you.”

They’ve also learned the importance of flexibility. “Nothing goes as planned.

If you’re rigid in your thought—if you can’t adapt—you’ll never have fun.”

The couple shared stories of hail storms, sweltering heat and getting lost on unfamiliar back roads in the middle of the night. Despite adverse circumstances, they affirm that the journey is always just as life-changing as arriving at the destination—and in many cases, even more so.

Finally, the two travelers have learned what matters most certainly isn’t stuff. Self-proclaimed minimalists, they share one single bag when adventuring. They do laundry once a week or so, and only pack the essentials—such

as Keen sandals, a Hydroflask, Tofurkey and Kettle Chips. They also bring along a camera, a tripod, a drone, a laptop and two GoPros to document their cross-country voyages. What matters most to the pair is the experiences they share—dancing to their favorite songs in the middle of the road, or on top of a mountain or wherever else they find themselves. Accidentally becoming a part of a small-town 4th of July parade.

Stumbling across a delicious vegan meal in a village in the middle of nowhere.

Today, Hamon works as the Safety Director for Hooker Creek, and his wife, a retired Spanish teacher, volunteers at numerous local organizations, including Harmony Farm Sanctuary, a 10-acre plot of land housing animals that were either abused or abandoned.

Hamon is also a huge advocate of playing it safe. As a part of the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Motorcycle Safety, he gets to see every Oregon accident report, and he’s accumulated a wealth of knowledge pertaining to do’s and don’ts. He shares his knowledge with other motorcyclists, both amateurs and seasoned vets, on his comprehensive website—which also details the couple’s incredible expeditions.

“Running with Sherman”

by Christopher McDougall Who could have predicted that the feel-good book of the year was the unlikely story of a rescue donkey in need of a purpose and his relationship with “Born to Run” author McDougall? Sherman was taken in from a hoarding situation in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. After many perilous nights where it seemed Sherman wouldn’t survive, he was soon walking around and making friends—but donkeys also need a job. McDougall found out about a donkey race where a person and a donkey run a course that follows a route formerly used by miners in Colorado. Not only will readers thrill to read of Sherman’s

amazing recovery during his race training, but they’ll be reminded of the power of interspecies connection to both heal and redeem.

hen Karla Schultz first met Don Hamon in 2013, she had no idea that her life was about to take two major turns. First, she never envisioned herself on the back of a motorcycle—let alone traveling 81,000 miles over the course of five summers. Secondly, being an omnivore, she couldn’t have imagined the impact that Hamon’s belief system would have on her own eating habits. Nowadays, Schultz is one half of 2 Vegans 2 Wheels, a pair of vegan motorcyclists who travel the world while spreading their message.

And no, the message isn’t, “Stop eating meat,” although Schultz did joke about her now-husband "preaching" that very message when they first met.

“He started preaching… and it worked,” she laughed. Why veganism?

While attending a food festival in 1985, Hamon experienced an epiphany. “There was this booth, it had some information on factory farming,” he explained.

“It changed my outlook completely.” For Harmon, committing to a lifelong plant-based diet was just that easy.

Apparently, however, being a vegan in ’85 was nowhere near as mainstream as it is today. “Being vegan was weird 35 years ago,” Hamon said with a smile. “Now, there are so many vegan-specific eateries in Bend. It’s almost like I’m… becoming normal.” Compared to some places, Bend is food-progressive. It isn’t always so easy to find vegan-friendly food on the road, especially in small-town America.

In many cases, the pair will have to find a grocery store and survive off of veggies and hummus – sometimes for days.

Hojicha! Matcha Gets Toasted

Get your toast on with some hojicha tea and white chocolate chip cookies. Yum!

H

o-gee-cha. Did I say it right? My Japanese friends politely nod yes but I’m pretty sure I hung on the gee a little too long. My first taste of hojicha, or toasted green tea, was in a latte and a brownie at Behind the Museum Café in Portland. Every form of the toasted tea was delicious, the aroma was deep smoky and caramel-like, the taste nutty, smoky and a bit sweet.

Hojicha is relatively new in the tea world. It was created in Kyoto, Japan, in the 1920s after the invention of machine trimming of tea leaves. The mechanical harvesting process created leftover green tea stems, leaves and stalks. An industrious tea merchant who didn’t want to throw anything away toasted the remains in a porcelain pot over charcoal, and hojicha was born.

hojicha is an excellent tea for coffee lovers. Find hojicha as loose leaf tea, in tea bags or ground into a fine powder (think matcha but roasted).

A tea for coffee lovers The smell of roasting hojicha is very similar to coffee, so Japanese merchants roasted the tea in their shop to entice people off the street with the intoxicating aroma. The roasting process turns the tea a rich brown hue and removes the bitterness and a majority of caffeine.

Hojicha starts with less caffeine anyway, because most of the caffeine is found in the tea leaves, not the stalks. Hojicha is a common full-bodied afternoon and evening tea. Like the scent, the flavor is reminiscent of freshly roasted coffee, so

Can we please make hojicha a thing?

To understand why I want this so badly you need to taste hojicha. I’ve tried all sorts of hojicha products and so far these are my favorite: Maeda-En hojicha tea bags (online or Uwajimaya in Portland), Aquafarm hojicha latte mix (online or at Behind the Museum Cafe in Portland) and Sei Mee Tea hojicha powder (online). The hojicha powder is fantastic to bake with. I tried it in ice cream and white chocolate chip cookies. I shared the cookies with my partner and some friends and they were a huge hit. I had

Matcha, matcha, matcha…

I imagine hojicha whining because its older sibling gets all the attention.

Matcha everything has been popular in Japan for a long time and it has a solid foothold in the U.S. Because hojicha can be used in the same way as matcha, I started looking for it, mostly because I had a craving. I asked at coffee shops with no luck. At Savory Spice Shop I ran into owner Matthew Perry who told me of a recent trip to Japan with his family.

I asked him if he tried any hojicha. He hadn’t heard of it. I couldn’t find hojicha anywhere in town.

to make two batches in one weekend to satisfy demand.

I still have a lot of hojicha baking to try, but here are a few recipes I think hojicha would be perfect in: macarons, tiramisu, cheesecake, doughnuts, overnight oats, truffles and tarts. A real treat would be to walk into Sparrow Bakery, Foxtail Bakeshop or Too Sweet Cakes and find hojicha patisserie. A girl can dream!

White Chocolate Hojicha Cookies 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tbsp hojicha powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup sugar 3/4 cup unsalted butter 1 tbsp vanilla 1 egg 1 egg yolk 1/2 - 1 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325°. Grease or line baking sheets. Sift flour, hojicha powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl beat brown and white sugar and melted butter until blended. Add vanilla and eggs and beat until creamy. Add flour mixture and stir until just blended. Fold in white chocolate chips. Drop a tablespoon of cookie dough onto the baking sheet, placing cookies 2 inches apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes.

There’s a new food cart in town, but you’ll probably recognize the faces behind the Austin-style barbecue project. The folks at El Sancho have recently opened Runaround Sue Barbecue, which made its debut in early October at the Boss Rambler Beer Club. The food cart features slow-cooked smoked meats such as pulled pork, brisket, turkey breast and beef sausage, along with true Texas-inspired sides including mac ‘n’ cheese, barbecue beans, potato salad and coleslaw.

“We have a lot of barbecue fanatics working at El Sancho, and it’s something we’ve been dreaming up for a while,” said El Sancho founder Joel Cordes. The cart replaces Scoutpost, which previously resided at the Boss Rambler location. The barbecue cart will serve offerings such as smoked meat plates, sandwiches and tacos. However, these aren’t your ordinary El Sancho-style tacos. Served on warm flour tortillas, with your choice of meats, these tacos include your choice of any side offerings—which means options such as brisket and mac ‘n’ cheese or pulled pork and coleslaw tacos. The cart will serve barbecue Tuesday through Sunday from 11am until sold out (or 7 pm).

Riff Cold Brewed, which presented at the 2019 Bend Venture Conference, won the investment award for Impact Stage—companies that aim to make measurable environmental or social impact. Riff’s mission has been to repurpose often-disposed coffeefruit into an all-natural sparkling energy drink.

Riff’s website describes the coffee berry as the “naturally caffeinated, naturally sweet and bright fruity pulp that holds the bean right up until harvest.” The $85,000 investment will allow the founders of Riff to continue to innovate using this previously-disregarded pulp.

The Dark Abyss

Diving into The Abyss tasting tray

By Heidi Howard Heidi Howard

27 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 44 / OCTOBER 31, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

he spookier the fall nights get, the darker the beer gets! Once a year, Deschutes Brewery releases The Abyss, usually with a few varieties. Deschutes provides a special Abyss flight at its pubs featuring the current year versions of The Abyss alongside those from previous years. I began my flight with the The Abyss from 2019. The first thing to notice is the very strong black licorice, in both the aroma and the flavor. I spoke about this beer with my husband and determined that the previous versions of The Abyss were also very licorice-forward. The brewery uses brewer’s licorice, which provides more of a spice flavor like fennel, rather than the sticky sweet flavor of the candy.

Aside from the forward flavor of the licorice, there’s also an underlying vanilla bean and molasses flavor. As this beer ages, those flavors will come forward, and the licorice will mellow out nicely.

The next two beers in the flight were variants of the 2019 Abyss: Old World and Port. Old World was aged in sherry barrels (well some of it was, and then it was blended with the straight-up The Abyss). Old World has a slightly thicker mouthfeel, but the flavor is brightened by the fruitiness of the sherry, adding a touch of oaky wood and raisin to both the flavor and aroma. The Port version has a “hot” aroma of alcohol, and licorice is still the defining aroma. Port finishes much like the standard The Abyss, except for a light finish of plums and woodiness from the barrel, as it is 100% aged in the port barrels.

The flight finishes with a few oldies but goodies, including The Abyss

Chalkboard art at the Deschutes Brewery Downtown Public House.

Rum from 2017. I recall the rum version being strong enough to grow hair on your chest. After aging, it’s really mellowed out. It’s still very rum forward, but is now much more subtle, allowing the other flavors through. The licorice is still present but balanced with the lovely flavors of cherries and molasses. Now is the perfect time to drink that beer, in my opinion.

The two variants from 2015 round out the flight, including The Abyss Cognac and The Abyss Rye. I finished off my

bottles of these a couple of years ago, so it was fantastic to taste them aged a couple of years. With the cognac version, there’s a strong aged-wood aroma; the flavor still cognac forward, the alcohol mellowed significantly since 2015. The rye is still very much a rye beer, becoming even more earthy as it aged. It’s still a tasty beer, but both the Cognac and the Rye were better a couple years ago. The different flavors are less defined; slightly muddled now. Still, I was totally happy to drink it!

I buy the variants each year and age them (usually two years, if we can wait that long). During the holidays we share the aged beer, tending to share it during dessert, because The Abyss pairs so well with sweets including chocolate and cheesecake. Dare I say that it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas? Too soon? OK, fine… Happy Halloween! Now get out there and drink some dark beers!

Neptune’s Folly SC SCREEN “The Lighthouse” illuminates our dark corners

By Jared Rasic “The Lighthouse” is black and white, shot with a smaller aspect ratio so that their isolation is evident even in the framing. In the days of IMAX and bigger, louder, faster everything, it’s haunting to see a film mostly comprised of contrasting shades of shadow that takes place in a small square at the center of a giant screen. The claustrophobia these characters feel is mirrored back at the audience, making us desperate for more space—or at least a few more feet of frame for the characters to exist across.

Shot on 35mm film, Eggars and cinematographer Jarin Blaschke make “The Lighthouse” feel like some lost German expressionist film from the 1920s that could be the love child of F.W. Murnau and Fritz Lang. Combined with a hypnotizing score by Mark Korven and two towering and unforgettable performances by Dafoe and Pattinson, “The Lighthouse” feels like a movie that has always existed… even if just in our subconscious.

Without getting into spoilers, this is a film that fills each and every frame with perfectly composed shots of beauty and horror, and each image unwraps the film’s secret meanings and metaphors.

Sea shanties with a side of existential dread, please.

Ancient sea gods are invoked, curses are laid upon the damned and madness becomes the sanest response to a landscape so harsh and forbidding.

This is not a crowd pleaser and is guaranteed to split audiences down the middle. People looking for something a little more mainstream will dismiss the film as weird (which it proudly is) without engaging with the existential dread walled up tight at its center.

“The Lighthouse” is a film that will haunt you like a ghost you know is right behind you, still deciding whether or not to hurt you. This is cinema without fear and without compromise. Do people still want that anymore?

S

o, if “The Joker” is about a mentally ill man’s descent into madness, then Robert Eggers’ nightmarish “The Lighthouse” is about everyone’s capacity for insanity and violence if society and civilization are just out of reach. This is one of those movies with a deceptively simple premise that touches on themes and ideas so massive that the film ends up being pretty profound in retrospect.

It’s the late 19th Century and two men are on a boat headed toward a remote and isolated island to be lighthouse keepers (or “wickies”). Willem Dafoe is Thomas Wake, a drunken and flatulent lighthouse veteran, and Robert Pattinson is Ephriam Winslow, a young man trying lighthouse keeping for the first time, hoping to build a stable life for himself by learning a new trade.

The two men, strangers, are doing a four-week shift at the lighthouse before being relieved by two other wickies. A month isolated from the outside world doesn’t seem long at first, but when you add alcohol, back-breaking and repetitive labor and a secret or two, then four weeks can (and does) seem like a lifetime.

Finishing Is What Matters

82-year-old Sharlene Tobin will run her 66th half marathon this weekend in the Happy Girls Sisters race

By Laurel Brauns

harlene (Shar) Tobin’s first running shoes were a pair of white Adidas “Countries” with green stripes—the smallest size made for men. That was in 1971 when she lived in Kailua, on the windward side of Oahu. Tobin first began running barefoot in the nearby parks in order to give her new black lab—who was prone to getting away—more exercise. Forty-eight years later, at age 82, she’s gearing up for her 66th half marathon this weekend in the Happy Girls Sisters run, where she will be joined by her oldest daughter, Mari Siceloff, and her daughter-in-law Elizabeth Tobin.

“One of the neat things about the Happy Girls races, why I will always support them, they celebrate women’s running, period,” Tobin said. “All of the Happy Girls races are less competitive.

It doesn’t matter how fast you are, what age you are, everyone feels honored… finishing is what matters.”

Tobin ran her first long-distance race in 2001—the Portland Marathon— thanks to the encouragement of Siceloff, who was originally inspired to run by her mother. Tobin’s first half marathon was also that year, on Washington’s Mercer Island. After those races, she made it a goal to try to run a marathon in or near all the places she had lived since she starting jogging in her 30s, which included races in Honolulu, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and Big Sur, California. She has currently earned 65 medals for half marathons. Now the plan is to finish 84 half marathons by the time she turns 84 in June 2021, which will also be her 50-year anniversary of running.

“One of the reasons I’m still able to do this is I have never really pushed myself; I’ve not done speed work,” Tobin said.

“I’m out there enjoying the experience, trying to train mostly on soft trails.”

Typically, a half marathon takes Tobin between 3 to 3 ½ hours. She plans to “fast walk” the race this weekend, mostly at the insistence of Siceloff, who witnessed Tobin take a bad fall during the Happy Girls Sisters race three years ago. Tobin still finished the race, but ended up with 24 stitches in her arm.

“What she doesn’t know is that I run by myself,” Tobin said, laughing.

On the day of our interview, Tobin completed a 10-mile training run around the golf course at Widgi Creek Golf Club, where she lives with her husband Toby.

“I owe my good health and my strength to just staying on my feet and doing what I can,” Tobin said. “I’d like to see everybody running a little bit if they’re able to, because it does so much for you.”

Tobin also notes that running has helped her in many other aspects of her life. She’s called both Portland and Hawaii home, but before moving to Bend, Tobin and her husband lived in Poulsbo, Washington, for 23 years, where she worked as a kindergarten teacher. She would rise at 4am to run before co-teaching 50 students in the morning and another group in the afternoon. With that many young kids to manage, difficult issues would inevitably arise, but the answers often came to Tobin during her morning jog.

Nowadays, Tobin’s daily runs on the golf course have an altruistic mission: collecting stray golf balls—the highest

Happy Girls Sisters is Sharlene Tobin’s favorite trail race.

count was 23 in one day—to give to her neighbor, who cleans them and sells them at Widgi Creek events. Last year, the $7,000 in proceeds went to MountainStar Family Relief Nursery.

Tobin’s races in the Pacific Northwest are often a family affair, with Siceloff coming over from Seattle to run with her mom.

While Tobin doesn’t like to brag about her abilities, Siceloff will often encourage other runners by sharing her mom’s age.

“There are all kinds of women in Happy Girls and there are always some you can see are really having a hard time,” Tobin said. “Usually when Mari tells them about me, their response is, ‘If she can do it, I certainly can.’”

Tobin is already looking forward to her post-race tradition with her daughter, sharing frozen Cheez-Its (a

ritual they started to combat the heat in Hawaii), and a beer, preferably brewed

by Tobin’s son Sean, an award-winning craftsman for Lewis & Clark Brewing Co. in Helena, Montana.

“I think it’s just encouraging women to get out and run and have fun. The girls that do it are happy girls,” Tobin said. “The neat thing about Sisters is the scenery, the mountains poke out here and there… it’s beautiful.”

Truth in Real Estate To tell or not to tell?

protect them from potential sale fails due to failures to disclose and mitigate possible disclosure issues.

Some of the more common disclosure areas are lead-based paint, pests, fire and mold/water damage. Regarding water damage (especially within the last three years in Central Oregon and the amount of water damage resulting from severe winters), I cannot stress enough the importance of disclosing any history of water damage or mold. First because, it more often than not will come up in an inspection report and second, because a buyer can request a CLUE (comprehensive loss underwriting exchange) report.

This allows the buyer to see any insurance claims that have been made on the property in the last seven years.

Other areas that are important to disclose upfront are things like permitting.

Are there any structures built or major remodels to the property that have not been permitted? This one is a big one for buyers, as it determines potential liability to remedy a non-permitted structure down the road. It also can determine insurance coverage and liability. A buyer has the right to know the facts regarding permitting so that they may make their own educated decision on those facts as they move forward.

There are several other examples of disclosure issues. It is crucial to disclose to your real estate broker any potential issues and trust their guidance and knowledge. Realtors cannot protect you from what they don’t know. The rule of thumb is to disclose everything you know about the property. Better to be open, rather than have the proverbial skeletons dancing out of the closet later down the road.

It’s highly likely at some point during homeownership something has occurred that will need to be disclosed when selling the property. As a broker, I have yet to meet a seller who hasn’t expressed apprehension about disclosing potential and past problems that could influence a buyer’s decision. This apprehension begs the question: what and how much does a seller tell, not only their broker, but also potential buyers?

Purposely withholding pertinent information about a property likely will land a seller in a serious conundrum that most certainly can/will lead to a sale fail and possibly legal ramifications.

There have been many instances of lawsuits across the country in which sellers have paid significant amounts of money to buyers, because the seller was not forthcoming or honest with pertinent information about the property.

Think of it in a parallel to online dating. A person sees a profile that interests them. Everything looks good and there is a certain level of trust that the other party is being transparent and forthcoming; and then, they meet, and it turns out that the information given was less forthcoming. My point in using this analogy is that more often than not, the reality of a situation will eventually come out; be it when selling a property or online dating.

Real estate brokers are employed not only to help one sell their property, but also to help protect a seller from potential issues before, during and after a transaction. I cannot stress enough how important it is to discuss all potential issues with one’s real estate broker. Realtors are here to help guide a seller through the process,

*Cash prize in the form of a gift card

My husband and I attended his niece’s wedding two years ago. Our gift was money earmarked to pay for their honeymoon. We were miffed that we never got either a thank-you note or any word that they’d actually used the money for a honeymoon. We recently got a note that they’re expecting their first child.

We sent a nice card but no gift, as we never got any response for our wedding gift.

Yesterday, a custom card came in the mail, belatedly thanking us for our generous gift and telling us about their honeymoon. We suspect that they’re realizing that wedding guests who didn’t get thank-you notes are holding back on gift-giving for the baby. Should we buy them a baby gift, or should this be a time for tough love?

—Resentful Sounds like you’ve discovered the gift-seeking couple version of the dude who abruptly stops returning a woman’s texts, only to resurface weeks later at booty o’clock -- texting the 12:31 a.m.

“Hey, whatchu doin’?”

Understandably, you and your husband weren’t hot to seize the opportunity to go unthanked for another extravagant gift. Your reticence to fork over again to the unappreciative duo has a centuries and centuries-long history, coming out of the evolutionary need to distinguish cooperators from cheaters and freeloaders. Ancestral humans who let themselves get ripped off constantly would’ve had less access to vital resources like food and shelter, making them more likely to starve to death or become brunch for some wild animal and wind up genetic dead ends.

We humans evolved to have a builtin accounting team -- our drive for reciprocity, for fairness in what we give and get in return. Our emotions are reciprocity’s worker bees, putting out feelbad (in the form of anger, resentment, humiliation, or sadness) when we get scammed. We’re motivated to rid ourselves of those rotten feelings, which we do by trying to right the balance or at least avoid getting scammed again.

That said, in close relationships, we aren’t looking for 50/50 reciprocity like in business. In this case, for example, a 55-cent first-class stamp on a thank you card would’ve done the job.

In other words, you’re ultimately reacting to a lack of gratitude -- an emotion more vital to human connection than it gets credit for. Gratitude (in response

to somebody’s generosity) is an important display of what evolutionary psychologist Julian Lim and his colleagues call “social valuation”: how much another person values our well-being. Their showing high valuation of our interests is ultimately a form of social insurance -- a sign that when the chips are down, they’re more likely to be there for us.

When people don’t seem to value our well-being highly enough, we get angry -as you two did. I wrote in a recent column, referencing the work of evolutionary psychologist Aaron Sell, that anger is a “recalibrational emotion”: an emotion that evolved to influence our own behavior as well as someone else’s. Anger does its Amy Alkon work through imposing costs -- like scaring people at the prospect of you going all crazypants on them -- and/or withdrawing benefits (in this case, future giftiepoos.)

Complicating matters, parents of some or many millennials haven’t hammered them on the importance of thank-you notes the way parents (and grandparents) did with previous generations. Also, many millennials view writing messages in ink on paper and putting them in the mail as an exotic ancient practice, like paying cash or having a CD collection.

Granted, in this instance, you don’t say you required a thank-you on monogrammed card stock. You were just looking for a little acknowledgment, a little connection with the newlyweds, like a texted picture or two from their honeymoon, maybe with a “Thanks for this awesome love-cation.” That’s not exactly unreasonable.

But to view these two more charitably, you might want to consider the effects of millennial culture. Culture is, simply put, what lots of people in a group do. Cultural attitudes are contagious, meaning they spread from person to person. In other words, the millennial cultural environment may contribute to good and kind nieces and their new husbands shrugging off rituals important to human psychology and coming off as rotten little ingrates.

Consider that they did ultimately end up thanking you -- albeit belatedly. Taking the cynical view, maybe they just wanted baby loot. But if you believe they may have learned their lesson, you might be inspired to take a chance -splurge on that crib with the attached day spa, the Tesla of baby strollers, or robo-siblings to tide the kid over until Mommy and Daddy make human ones for him to blame and terrorize.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Poet James Merrill

that on average each of us has a social network of about 250 people, of whom 120 we regard as a closer group of friendly acquaintances. But most of us have no more than twenty folks we trust, and only two or three whom we regard as confidants.

I suspect that these numbers will be in flux for you during the next twelve months, Scorpio. I bet you’ll make more new friends than usual, and will also expand your inner circle. On the other hand, I expect that some people who are now in your sphere will depart. Net result: stronger alliances and more collaboration.

was ecstatic when he learned the Greek language.

According to his biographer, he felt he could articulate his needs “with more force and clarity, with greater simplicity and less self-consciousness, than he ever could in his own language.” He concluded, “Freedom to be oneself is all very well; the greater freedom is not to be oneself.” Personally, I think that’s an exaggeration. I believe the freedom to be yourself is very, very important. But for you in the coming weeks, Taurus, the freedom to not be yourself could indeed be quite liberating. What might you do to stretch your capacities beyond what you’ve assumed is true about you? Are you willing to rebel against and transcend your previous self-conceptions?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I blame and thank the Sagittarian part of me when I get brave and brazen enough to follow my strongest emotions where they want to lead me. I also blame and thank the Sagittarian part of me when I strip off my defense mechanisms and invite the world to regard my vulnerabilities as interesting and beautiful. I furthermore blame and thank the Sagittarian side of me on those occasions when I run three miles down the beach at dawn, hoping to thereby jolt loose the secrets I’ve been concealing from myself. I suspect the coming weeks will be a favorable time to blame and thank the Sagittarian part of you for similar experiences.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Persian polymath Avicenna (980–1037) wrote 450 books on many topics, including medicine, philosophy, astronomy, geography, mathematics, theology, and poetry.

While young, he tried to study the Metaphysics of Aristotle, but had difficulty grasping it. Forty times he read the text, even committing it to memory. But he made little progress toward fathoming it. Years later, he was browsing at an outdoor market and found a brief, cheap book about the Metaphysics by an author named al-Farabi. He read it quickly, and for the first time understood Aristotle’s great work.

He was so delighted he went out to the streets and gave away gifts to poor people. I foresee a comparable milestone for you, Capricorn: something that has eluded your comprehension will become clear, at least in part due to a lucky accident.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In addition to being a key figure in Renaissance art, fifteenth-century Italian painter Filippo Lippi had a colorful life.

According to legend, he was once held prisoner by Barbary pirates, but gained his freedom by drawing a riveting portrait of their leader. Inspired by the astrological factors affecting you right now, I’m fantasizing about the possibility of a liberating event arriving in your life. Maybe you’ll call on one of your skills in a dramatic way, thereby enhancing your leeway or generating a breakthrough or unleashing an opportunity. (Please also re-read your horoscope from last week.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Stand high long enough and your lightning will come,” writes Piscean novelist William Gibson. He isn’t suggesting that we literally stand on top of a treeless hill in a thunderstorm and invite the lightning to shoot down through us. More realistically, I think he means that we should devotedly cultivate and discipline our highest forms of expression so that when inspiration finds us, we’ll be primed to receive and use its full power. That’s an excellent oracle for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries psychologist James Hillman said we keep “our images and fantasies at arm’s length because they are so full of love.” They’re also quite flammable, he added. They are always on the verge of catching fire, metaphorically speaking. That’s why many people wrap their love-filled images and fantasies in metaphorical asbestos: to prevent them from igniting a blaze in their psyches. In my astrological opinion, you Aries folks always have a mandate to use less asbestos than all the other signs—even none at all. That’s even truer than usual right now. Keep your images and fantasies extra close and raw and wild.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Studies suggest

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Musician Brian Eno made a deck of oracular cards called Oblique Strategies. Each card has a suggestion designed to trigger creative thinking about a project or process you’re working on. You Geminis might find it useful to call on Oblique Strategies right now, since you’re navigating your way through a phase of adjustment and rearrangement. The card I drew for you is “Honor thy error as hidden intention.” Here’s how I interpet it: An apparent lapse or misstep will actually be the result of your deeper mind guiding you to take a fruitful detour.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): We devote a lot of energy to wishing and hoping about the meaningful joys we’d love to bring into our lives. And yet few of us have been trained in the best strategies for manifesting our wishes and hopes. That’s the bad news.

The good news is that now is a favorable time for you to upgrade your skills at getting what you want.

With that in mind, I present you with the simple but potent wisdom of author Maya Angelou: “Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it.” To flesh that out, I’ll add: Formulate a precise statement describing your heart’s yearning, and then work hard to make yourself ready for its fulfillment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What are the key parts of your life—the sources and influences that enable you to be your most soulful self? I urge you to nourish them intensely during the next three weeks.

Next question: What are the marginally important parts of your life—the activities and proclivities that aren’t essential for your long-term success and happiness? I urge you to corral all the energy you give to those marginally important things, and instead pour it into what’s most important. Now is a crucial time in the evolution of your relationship with your primal fuels, your indispensable resources, your sustaining foundations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “When she spoke of beauty, he spoke of the fatty tissue supporting the epidermis,” wrote short story author Robert Musil.

He was describing a conversation between a man and woman who were on different wavelengths.

“When she mentioned love,” Musil continued, “he responded with the statistical curve that indicates the rise and fall in the annual birthrate.” Many of you Virgos have the flexibility to express yourself well on both of those wavelengths. But in the coming months, I hope you’ll emphasize the beauty and love wavelength rather than the fatty tissue and statistical curve wavelength. It’ll be an excellent strategy for getting the healing you need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran blogger Ana-Sofia Cardelle was asked, “What is your signature perfume?” She said she hadn’t found one. But then she described how she would like to smell: “somewhere between fresh and earthy: cinnamon and honey, a rose garden, saltwater baked in the sun.” The coming days will be an excellent time to indulge in your own fantasies about the special fragrance you’d like to emanate. Moreover, I bet you’ll be energized by pinpointing a host of qualities you would like to serve as cornerstones of your identity: traits that embody and express your uniqueness.

Will it be the first of many?

By Jeremy Dickman

F

or the first time since marijuana production has been legal in Deschutes County, the Board of County Commissioners received some feedback from the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals about how their interpretations of marijuana land-use rules square with state law.

The feedback was pretty simple: Try again.

In a unanimous opinion filed Oct. 17, LUBA struck down one of the County’s decisions denying a land-use permit to Waveseer of Oregon for marijuana production. County Commissioners in February had voted 2-0 to deny the application (Commissioner Tony DeBone was absent; the two “no” votes were from Commissioners Patti Adair and Phil Henderson) on the basis that the facility was proposed to exist too close to Rhinestone Ranch, which Henderson and Adair claimed fit the description of a “Youth Activity Center,” (which requires a 1,000foot buffer from any marijuana farm).

The Youth Activity Center issue has been frequently put before the County by residents who object to proposed marijuana farms in rural farm areas. A YAC is not defined in the Deschutes County Code, so its definition has been essentially manufactured through an amalgamation of county decisions by Commissioners, specifically by Adair and Henderson.

In the case of the Waveseer decision, neighbors appealed and insisted that the for-profit Rhinestone Ranch was a YAC because the ranch frequently hosted children (as well as adults) on its land for horseback riding lessons. In a more recent case, Commissioners struck down another marijuana application because it was close to an Exclusive Farm Use parcel that catered to families seeking to purchase timeshare recreational activities. That application was denied 2-1, with DeBone dissenting.

In the case of Waveseer, the County concluded that the “properties rise to the level of a YAC due to their inherent characteristic as being a place where activities center around youth on a regular basis.”

In its appeal to LUBA, Waveseer argued that Rhinestone Ranch was more akin to agritourism, or other forms of commercial activities. Waveseer further argued that the County’s classification of YACs as set out in their denial would create a “slippery slope” resulting in “illogical and unreasonable results.”

“What would prevent neighbors from merely claiming that their property engages in youth activities if no permit is required?” Waveseer asked.

LUBA agreed, finding that the County’s Waveseer decision offers zero

guidance to potential marijuana entrepreneurs seeking land in the EFU zone such that they won’t be surprised by a pop-up YAC. “[T]he county’s broad interpretation of ‘youth activity center’ is unreasonable,” LUBA held, “because there is no way for an applicant to determine if a particular EFU-zoned property could be used for marijuana production. … [T]he county’s interpretation of youth activity center is so amorphous and uncertain that we conclude it is unreasonable.”

LUBA went on to say that, while a YAC is undefined in the Deschutes County Code, it’s possible that a property could qualify as a YAC under the right set of circumstances: “[W]hile we doubt whether a youth-oriented farm use or residential use could limit farm use on property that is zoned EFU, it may be that, under different facts and circumstances, the county could interpret the undefined phrase ‘youth activity center’ in a manner that would not violate” state law.

LUBA Board member Melissa Ryan wrote a concurring opinion in which she parsed some detail out of why the County’s definition of a YAC is problematic.

First, Ryan noted that the County’s definition of a YAC—“a place where activities center around youth on a regular basis”—improperly employs the word “center” as a verb, which changes the definition. As properly used in the form of a noun, Ryan said, quoting Webster’s Dictionary: [A] ’youth activity center’ is a place ‘built, constructed, installed, or established’ to serve or facilitate ‘youth activit[ies].’”

Moreover, Ryan noted that elsewhere in the Deschutes County Code, “center” describes places that included a “facility” devoted to a specific use, such as “community center” and “childcare center,” both of whose definitions in the Code include the term “facility” to describe them. In the Board’s definition of “youth activity center,” however, Ryan notes that no such credence is given to the impact of the word “center” in its noun form, and as used elsewhere in the DCC. LUBA’s decision does not automatically grant Waveseer a land-use permit, but rather remands the case back to the County for more hearings. This case could also go to the Oregon Court of Appeals, if the County chooses to take that step.

Since Waveseer was not the only recent County decision in which Adair and Henderson defined YACs out of whole cloth, we’re likely to see more LUBA denials, and more remands.
