Many have posited that one of the benefits to seeing increased access and interest in public lands is that it translates into more care and concern for those lands. If that’s true, then wouldn’t it follow that the care and concern should be manifested in reducing the activities that negatively impact those lands? At least, that’s where my brain goes…

Along those lines, for this week’s feature, our team explored a few ways that recreationalists can engage in the efforts to reduce emissions, cut waste and ideally slow climate chaos. If we can talk the talk, we should walk the walk, in other words.

Inside this issue is a somewhat related story which shares how locals can take part in Indigenous Peoples’ Day, honoring the longtime stewards of the lands we now call home, happening officially for the first time this year in our state. And perhaps as a reminder of some of the “OG” locals out there taking part in efforts to care for our environment and its creatures, Natural World columnist Jim Anderson is back with a tale of caring for osprey at Crane Prairie Reservoir. Have a great week, Central Oregon!

OPINION A Statute Banning Concealed-Carry Permit Holders from Consuming While Carrying Could Have Spared Barry Washington, Jr’s Life.

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / OCTOBER 7, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

WILSON'S 59th ANNIVERSAY SALE

T

his past month, officials say Ian Cranston gunned down Barry Washington, Jr. on the streets of Bend. Washington’s death has caused many to call for all manner of retribution and justice, including upgrading Cranston’s charges from second-degree manslaughter to murder charges.

A grand jury made that determination last week, and Cranston does now face charges of murder in the second degree, along with several other charges.

But there’s an overlooked manner of reform that’s staring Oregon in the face, and had it been among the slew of reforms proposed by the Oregon legislature this past year, it may have saved this young man’s life. On Sept. 25, a new law passed earlier this year went into effect, which allows local governments to ban those with concealed-carry firearms permits from bringing their guns into public buildings such as airports and schools.

Some more conservative lawmakers called SB554, signed by the governor into law June 1, a “radical” idea that did nothing to make communities safer. In light of the recent shooting, which saw Cranston, a concealed-carry permit holder, bringing a gun into a bar and later using it to allegedly shoot Washington, we say the law was not “radical” enough.

Oregon is among only a handful of states that does not address the matter of whether concealed-carry permit holders can mix alcohol or drugs and guns.

Fifteen states, including Oregon, do not address this matter in state statutes. The other states, meanwhile, make some type of provision that bans people from consuming while carrying. Four jurisdictions—including Alaska, Arizona, California and the District of Columbia, ban concealed-carry permit holders from consuming at all while carrying. The remaining states prohibit concealed carry when a person is intoxicated or under the influence, or, they ban a person from BOTH consuming while carrying AND being intoxicated while carrying.

While officials here in Bend say alcohol was not a major factor in the death of Washington, they did not specifically state that Cranston had not been drinking that night. The Deschutes County District Attorney’s office will not release the results of Cranston’s blood alcohol level test at this point, so we can only speculate. But the fact that a vast majority of states make some type of provision to keep guns out of the hands of those who are consuming underlines how dangerous a combination drugs, alcohol and firearms can be.

In our own community, a young man lost his life over what officials say amounted to a couple unwanted advances by Washington toward the suspect’s girlfriend. That should not have amounted to a death sentence. Had Oregon’s laws been stricter around the topic of mixing guns and alcohol—as they are in dozens of other states—Barry Washington, Jr. may still be alive today.

Oregon made some strides this past year to more strictly regulate guns and where they can be concealed-carried.

Private business owners have every right to ban them from their private premises if they so desire, and local governments now have that discretion in public buildings, too.

When people talk about gun reform, these are the types of reforms they are talking about.

When Cranston’s trial is over and the public is able to better understand the details of what happened that night—including how alcohol did or did not play into the events—the next step may be to introduce in the legislature the Barry Washington, Junior memorial law, prohibiting those under the influence—or those consuming drugs or alcohol—from concealed-carrying. It won’t bring Washington back, but it may bring a measure of justice so desired by friends, family and community members during this moment in Bend’s history.

Complete mess created in Salem by yes you guessed it…, and carried out here in Bend by, yep you guessed it!!! This is why you have to be careful of who you vote for. You reap what you see. Developers and those who rent should be held accountable for those properties far more than they are. That means lawn and yard maintenance routinely, painting of the dwelling every five years and hold accountability to the tenants.

—James Lippi via facebook.com The fact that the city is just now limiting short term rentals in new developments is absurd. Short term rentals are one of the biggest issues that affects housing availability. There should be a limit on short term rentals and the current number should go way down.

OLD MILL AMPHITHEATER “IMPROVEMENTS”

I realize that there is a lot going on in our world that needs attention. We can definitely do all sorts of things to make it a better place. However I would like to stand on my own personal soapbox to claim that the old Mill amphitheater is way too loud, way too bright, and way too open.

The peace and quiet living up on Reed market and Brookswood during Covid was pretty nice, I don’t mean to be a crotchety old man about things, but it was peaceful without the music.

Don’t get me wrong, I go to concerts, but after their so-called improvements, it is super loud, I have lights

in my backyard sometimes? The traffic on Brookswood is constant for 45 minutes to an hour after each show and I get to hear whatever show is playing in my house 930 Sunday night? How did this make it through the city of Bend? Hey city of Bend, do you have any answers on this?

DELICIOUS BLT

While I always enjoy the Chow articles in the Source, as a life long lover of BLTs, I read with special interest last week's page about how to make the best BLT. The author's suggestion about toasting the bread in side out so to speak was brilliant as I have long struggled with bread that was too crispy and hurt the roof of my mouth behind my top front teeth. It also works very well to very lightly toast the bread if your toaster slots won't accommodate two slices of bread at once. The one suggestion missing from the article that makes all the difference was that a freshly picked garden tomato is the only kind that will make the most delicious BLT. A store bought tomato is not even close to the flavor of an Early Girl just harvested off the vine from my downtown Bend garden. It must be fire engine red for the sweetest tomato taste. In the absence of a garden at your house, one from the Farmer's Market or local produce stand will do in a pinch!!! I have been enjoying one-half of a BLT for breakfast almost every morning for the past two months. It has been a great tomato harvest this year even if I have had to share with the deer and the raccoons. Cheers to your BLT. —Madelle Poole Friess

TAKING CARE OF THE HOMELESS

I am stunned and outraged at the Redmond city council for refusing to use the ARPA funds to help the homeless in our area.

I went to a city council meeting recently and many people who spoke at that meeting shared about their Christian faith, including the Mayor and his wife. I just don’t understand how people who claim this faith can say no, we don’t want to use these funds that are to help Americans recover from the devastation that COVID has caused to help these people, who are struggling to survive. The homeless population is made up of many types of people including women and children. Saying they are all drug addicts, as if that were a reason to not help them is repulsive to me. Jesus, who you claim to love, would not approve of withholding funds as you are doing. We could make our cities a better place to live for everyone. All of you high and mighty folks who think you can chase the homeless away, or starve the homeless away are mistaken. There is no away. When you’re poor, there are few options for changing your situation. Helping people get a leg up, get some stability in their lives will help improve their quality of life, and everyone around them. Treating people like garbage and continually acting like they can literally just die is unacceptable. Bend, I’m looking at

you too. We have some wonderful nonprofits and caring community members working hard on the problem and we need our city councils to step up and contribute. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel. There is a ton of research and development already done, now fund it!!

New Political Maps for Central Oregon WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / OCTOBER 7, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

With Bend’s population boom, Central Oregon was in the center of the drama over where to put the state’s new congressional seat

By Hanna Merzbach

By Oregon Legislature

H

ours before a deadline on the night of Sept. 27, Oregon became the first state to redraw its congressional maps for the next decade, following a boycott

by House Republicans and last-minute negotiations. The process was especially contentious as Oregon gained its first additional congressional seat in 40 years— and with Bend’s population boom, Central Oregon was at the center of the drama about where to put that new seat.

State lawmakers ultimately passed maps putting much of Central Oregon in a new congressional district that stretches across the mountains to the outskirts of Portland. And while Central Oregon maps for the state legislature gained less attention, lawmakers made significant changes in how the region is represented.

along with La Pine, remain in the Republicans' safe second district, which takes up the rural eastern half of the state.

Still, state Republicans aren’t happy, as Sen. Tim Knopp (R-Bend) explained.

“While I do think that it’s an improvement over the original map, I still believe it was unnecessary to breach the geographical boundary of the Cascade Mountain Range to split Deschutes County into two different congressional districts,” said Knopp, who represents Central Oregon’s State Senate District 27.

But Stiegler highlighted that this isn’t the first time that Bend has had representation from across the mountains: Prior to the 1980 redistricting, the monstrous second congressional district stretched over to the Willamette Valley, since there had yet to be population Congressional chaos booms east of the Cascades.

Adopted Oregon Congressional Map — The state’s new fifth congressional district loops Bend in with parts of the Willamette Valley and is seen as a relatively competitive seat.

Bend’s House District 54 shifted inward around the city and the surrounding areas were redistributed to other districts, including District 53, 55 and 59.

legislative districts flew under the radar.

Still, lines shifted significantly in Central Oregon, with Bend’s House district shifting inward around the city and the surrounding areas being redistributed to other districts.

Since the 1990s, the region’s state House districts have resembled a “donut” and “donut hole.” House District 53, or the donut, made up much of Deschutes County, including the more conservative-leaning regions of Redmond, Sunriver, Tumalo and Deschutes River Woods. District 54—otherwise known as the donut hole—was carved out of District 53 and included most of the more liberal-leaning Bend.

In the past 10 years, Bend and its surrounding areas have seen some of the most growth in the state: Bend’s District 54 saw a population increase of nearly 15,000 people, growing to over 78,000 residents. The surrounding District 53 saw an increase of almost 10,000 people, rising to over 74,000 residents. Since each house district could only have about 69,000 people, the Central Oregon districts needed to shed some numbers.

“I think it was predictable that there would be changes, but I don’t really see that it changes the balance of those districts that much,” said Stiegler, the political science professor who also represented District 54 from 2009 to 2011 as a Democrat.

District 54 — which now includes Downtown Bend, most of the west side neighborhoods south of Newport Avenue and portions of the east side— will likely be more strongly Democrat, Stiegler explained.

Rep. Jason Kropf (D-Bend), who flipped District 54 in the Democrats' favor last year, was pleased with the new maps.

“These maps meet all statutory requirements and uphold the constitutional principle of one person one

vote,” Kropf said in a statement. But his Republican counterparts said far from the same. Knopp, who represents the Senate district that includes House District 53 and 54, took issue with the districts dividing Bend north to south, when Bendites typically refer to themselves as “westsiders” or “eastsiders.”

“Really, what it feels like was the maps were drawn by someone who doesn’t live around here,” said Knopp.

District 53 no longer wraps all the way around Bend, shedding its southern half, which includes areas like Deschutes River Woods and Sunriver, and its eastern half around Bear Creek Road. Those regions now fall into District 55, which extends all the way down to Southern Klamath County along the Oregon-California border.

“There’s a lot of people on the east side of Bend that’re going to be represented by a representative from Southern Klamath County,” Knopp said. He added that District 53 and subsequently his district, Senate District 27, now includes Sisters, Black Butte and Eagle Crest, which all used to be lumped in with a district that stretched up to The Dalles.

Rep. Jack Zika (R-Redmond) highlighted that District 53 splits Redmond in half, putting much of its population in the surrounding District 59, which includes Madras and Prineville and stretches east to the Ochoco Mountains.

“These redistricting maps have a blatant disregard for keeping communities together,” Zika said in a statement. According to Stiegler, these observations are legitimate, but it was inevitable for people to be pushed out of their past district.

“There’s no way to have drawn it perfectly to meet everyone’s expectations,” she said. “I think it was probably as bipartisan as it ever was going to be under the circumstances."

Noticias en Español Nuevos mapas políticos para el Centro de Oregon Por Hanna Merzbach / Traducido por Jéssica Sánchez-Millar

Caos en el Congreso Cada uno de los ahora seis distritos del Congreso de Oregon debe tener

una igual proporción de la población de aproximadamente 766,000 personas por distrito. De acuerdo a Judy Stiegler, ex legisladora estatal y profesora de ciencias políticas en la Universidad del Estado de Oregon-Cascades, era inevitable que Bend terminara en un distrito diferente debido al inmenso crecimiento de su población.

Los Demócratas del Estado – que tienen por mayoría Salem, inicialmente propusieron mapas que habrían sido aún más favorables para los demócratas, agrupando a Bend en un distrito que se extiende hasta la frontera entre Oregon y Washington en Hood River.

Ahora, el nuevo quinto distrito une a Bend con partes de Willamette Valley y es visto como un puesto relativamente competitivo, con una inclinación partidista D-3, con tendencia Demócrata.

Las afueras de Bend, junto con La Pine, se mantienen en el segundo distrito seguro a los Republicanos, el cual ocupa la mitad del este rural del estado.

Las objeciones a los mapas del congreso deben presentarse antes del 12 d octubre y las de los mapas legislativos deben presentarse antes del 25 de

octubre. Todas las decisiones judiciales pueden tomarse antes de la fecha límite de marzo para la postularse a la candidatura del puesto.

Cambiando los sedes legislativas Comparado con la redistribución de distritos del congreso, los bosquejo de mapas de los distritos legislativos estatales pasaron desapercibidos.

Aún así, las sedes cambiaron bastante en el Centro de Oregon, con el distrito de Bend desplazándose hacia el interior alrededor de la ciudad y las áreas circundantes redistribuidas a otros distritos.

Desde los años noventas, los distritos de la cámara de Representantes de la region estatal se a asemejado a una “dona” y a un “agujero de dona.” El distrito 53 de la cámara de representantes, o la dona, constituida en gran parte por Condado de Deschutes, incluyendo las regiones con tendencia más conservadora como Redmond, Sunriver, Tumalo y Deschutes River Woods. El distrito 54, conocido como el agujero de la dona, fue labrado en el distrito 53 e incluía la mayor parte de Bend, con una tendencia a ser más liberal.

En los últimos 10 anos, Bend y sus alrededores han experimentado uno de los mayores crecimientos en el estado: el Distrito 54 de Bend vio un aumento en la población de casi 15,000 personas, llegando a más de 78,000 habitantes. Las zonas aledañas del Distrito 53 vieron un aumento de casi 10,000 personas, aumentando a más de 74,000 habitantes. Ya que cada distrito solo puede tener tan solo alrededor de 69,000 habitantes, los distritos del Centro de Oregon necesitaban desprenderse de algunos de habitantes.

El Distrito 54, que ahora incluye la zona centro de Bend, la mayoría de los vecindarios de la zona oeste al sur de la avenida Newport y partes del lado este, probablemente será una zona Demócrata, explicó Stiegler.

El Distrito 53 ya no abarca todo el alrededor de Bend, desprendiéndose de la mitad de la zona sur, la cual incluye las zonas de Deschutes River Woods y Sunriver y la mitad de la zona este alrededor de Bear Creek Road. Ahora esas regiones se asientan en el Distrito 55, el cual se extiende hasta el sur del Condado de Klamath a lo largo de la frontera entre Oregon y California.

oras antes de la fecha límite, la noche del 27 de septiembre, Oregon se convirtió en el primer estado en rediseñar sus mapas del congreso para la siguiente década, después del boicot de parte de los republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes y de las últimas negociaciones. El proceso fue especialmente polémico cuando Oregon obtuvo su primer puesto adicional en el congreso en 40 años y con el rápido incremento de la población de Bend, el Centro de Oregon fue el centro de la odisea para indicar dónde ubicar esa nueva sede.

Los legisladores del estado finalmente aprobaron los mapas colocando parte del Centro de Oregon en un nuevo distrito del Congreso que se extiende a lo largo de las montañas hasta las afueras de Portland. Y mientras que los mapas del Centro de Oregon capturaron menos atención para la legislatura del estado, los legisladores hicieron importantes cambios con lo referente a la forma en que está representada la región.

Power Pond

Pacific Power is maintaining the 100-year-old Newport Dam after its lowest power output in decades

By Jack Harvel to refurbish parts on the turbine and perform overall maintenance. The other two turbines were refurbished over the past few years so this is the last one to be completed,” Hanson said. “Along with refurbishments, upgrades have been made, that allow for improved reliability and match the 100-year-old plant with new technology to continue to bring value to customers.”

Power output at the plant will still vary with the flow of the river, but at 600 MWh at the end of summer, 2021 will be closer to a typical output than during 2020. The upgrades increase the longevity of the dam and could potentially bring the dam closer to its maximum output of 405 MWh a year.

“The Newport Dam’s rated max capacity is producing 1.11 megawatt of electricity,” Hanson said. “These refurbishing and upgrade projects ensures the hydro facility will continue to efficiently produce clean electricity for our customers.”

The fate of the dam has been in flux over the years; in 2015, after much community input and initial excitement about a change for the dam and

Accused Shooter Charged With Murder

Deschutes District Attorney John Hummel announced the arrest of and new charges for Ian Cranston, who is accused of shooting 22-year-old Barry Washington

By Jack Harvel

eschutes County District Attorney John Hummel announced that Ian Cranston was charged with the crimes of murder in the second degree, manslaughter in the first degree, manslaughter in the second degree, assault in the first degree and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon in the shooting death of 22-year-old Barry Washington on Sunday, Sept. 19. The Bend Police Department arrested Cranston Thursday evening on a no-bail warrant, after a grand jury indicted Cranston.

Hummel said Cranston shot Washington after he complimented Cranston’s fiancé, leading to a brief scuffle between the two. Washington was arguing with one of Cranston’s friends when he was shot. Bend Police Department arrested Cranston shortly after for second degree manslaughter, and he was released after paying 10% of a $100,000 bail on Sunday. Washington’s family and many community members were outraged with Cranston’s initial charge of manslaughter rather than murder, and that he was freed hours after the shooting.

“I’m confident that murder is the correct charge, but if you commit murder intentionally, you’ve also killed someone recklessly,” Hummel said at a press

conference on Sept. 30. “We sought the murder conviction in this grand jury, we’ll be seeking a murder conviction at trial. But if you do the greatest crime, you’ve also done the lesser crimes.”

Hummel said he’d received hundreds of calls and emails over the past week regarding parallels the case had with the history of racist violence in America, namely the murder of Emmett Till.

“Our country has a disgraceful history of denigrating, prosecuting and lynching Black men for talking to white women.

Over the last week, literally hundreds of people called and emailed me to remind me of this history. I responded to every one of you,” he said. “Racism didn’t only happen back then. And down there. It happens right here. And right now.”

The grand jury did not charge Cranston with a hate crime, but Hummel said there’s an ongoing investigation of Cranston’s motives. He said the public has been helpful collecting evidence, particularly the activist group Central Oregon Peacekeepers, and asked anyone with relevant information to send it to his office or Bend PD. “If we obtained sufficient evidence to prove that this shooting was at least partially motivated by race, we will go back to that grand jury and ask them to

Jack Harvel

Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel called a press conference on Sept. 30 across the street from where Barry Washington, Jr. was shot on Sunday, Sept. 19. Hummel announced that a grand jury indicted the alleged shooter Ian Cranston on six charges, including second degree murder.

add the charge. I determined we did not have sufficient evidence at this point to present it to the grand jury,” Hummel said. “That was a tactical decision made by myself. If we presented it now and the grand jury said no, the state doesn’t have enough evidence, then that case is done. And if we gathered more evidence later, we couldn’t go back.”

Cranston’s plea hearing was scheduled for Dec. 6 during his arraignment on Friday afternoon, Oct. 1. His lawyer said they are ready to enter a not guilty plea, but

Deschutes County Circuit Judge Beth Bagley said that isn’t decided at arraignment.

The arraignment was played on loudspeakers outside of the Deschutes County Courthouse to a crowd. A disturbance erupted between activists and Central Oregon Daily News over the station airing of video of the shooting provided by Cranston’s fiancé. Activists and community members criticized the news station for releasing the video without permission from the family. The station deleted the video off its website on Friday.

90-foot crane pulled a 20,000-pound generating unit at the Newport Avenue Dam on Mirror Pond last week.

Data from the Energy Infrastructure Council show power output at the dam reached its lowest point in decades in 2020, producing just 315 megawatt hours compared to an average of 2,390 MWh over the past 20 years.

“The Newport Dam has been operating for over 100 years and is currently going through a rehabilitation phase.

Over the past few years we’ve been refurbishing and making repairs to ensure its long-term viability as a generation resource for our customers,” said Drew Hanson, a spokesperson for Pacific Power, in an email. “As a result, the plant has produced over 600 MWh over summer 2021.”

Two of the dam’s three turbines have been maintained in the past several years, and the newest round of maintenance will refurbish the third as well as replace bulkheads and gates, exchanging the existing transformer and a ground grid replacement at the switchyard.

Advocacy group Protect Our Winters seeks to shine a light on the effects of climate change from the perspective of those who regularly interact with changing winter environments: skiers, snowboarders, ice climbers, snowshoers and other winter recreationalists.

“A tool that we have, particularly as winter recreationalists, is stories about a changing climate and stories about the season that is being most affected by climate change,” said Graham Zimmerman, of the Protect Our Winters CLIMB athlete alliance. “Stories are one of our most powerful tools that we have to drive climate action. Not only because they’re visceral and they can be exciting, but also the stories about the places that we recreate are a super strong tool for breaking down partisan divides.”

Zimmerman, an accomplished ice climber, has plenty of these stories himself. An expedition in July to the second highest mountain in the world, K2 in Pakistan, had to be cut short before reaching the peak due to abnormally high temperatures.

“We’re at 7000 meters in July and the air temperature during the day in a

shaded area was over 50 degrees Fahrenheit. I was up there in, like, the same thing that I would wear on a nice day on Mount Hood,” Zimmerman said.

“When a mountain is cold is when it’s safe; it’s when the mountain is not falling apart.”

The effects of climate change aren’t limited to the world’s tallest peaks.

They’re here already in Central Oregon, too.

“In the past you probably didn’t have to worry about rock fall in the Broken Top bowl, on the side of the winter

season or the beginning of spring,” Zimmerman said. “That rock face might not be frozen anymore. There’s potential hazard that could exist in places that may not have in the past, particularly during different parts of the season, due to changing climatic patterns.”

Central Oregonians will likely face the same trends as the rest of the world, shorter winters with varying intensity.

“I don’t really know if we clearly understand how the intensity of winters will change in Central Oregon, but in terms of the duration, we’re Courtesy Graham Zimmerman

Graham Zimmerman had to evacuate off the K2 Mountain in Pakistan due to heat.

pretty clearly looking at shorter winters,” Zimmerman said.

Protect Our Winters is most focused on creating systemic change that minimizes the effects of climate change.

Though individual choices like carpooling to the mountains, biking to bike trails and using sustainably sourced equipment is good, Zimmerman believes there are no perfect advocates and that the pressure shouldn’t be on individuals to reduce climate change.

“We need to focus on systemic change, because that’s where the targets for climate action are big enough to actually do something,” Zimmerman said. “A few people in Bend driving to Bachelor less is not going to fix this problem, and it’s also going to make their lives less fun.”

Bend is the perfect proving ground for this type of bottom-up activism, Zimmerman says, because it’s more balanced politically than some of the other havens for winter recreation.

“Something that I think is really cool about Bend is that if we were doing this work in, like, Aspen, Colorado, or in Boulder, Colorado, we’re not dealing with diverse politics—people are pretty liberal in those places,” Zimmerman said. “As we look at the local measures in Bend and the actions that are available, it feels small because it’s just little Bend or Deschutes County, but it creates examples how we can get that done on the federal level.”

Car-Free Recreation

COVID and the climate are the perfect storm for increasing interest in bike touring

By Nicole Vulcan

11

Bike touring allows one to explore open spaces and take in the wonders of the natural world at a slower pace... which may add to one’s appreciation and concern for protecting it.

“The bicycle is a simple solution to some of the most complicated problems in the world.”

—John Burke, president of Trek Bicycles

C

OVID-19 may have been the impetus for many people to get back on the bikes they haven’t touched since their school days, but there’s another important reason for all that bike-riding to stick around: It’s one way to lessen one’s environmental footprint while spending time in the natural areas that restore our energies and replenish our souls.

With transportation contributing to 29% of the United States’ carbon emissions in 2019, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, I take personal exception to the notion that only a handful of corporations and governments should be responsible for changing the trajectory of the current climate crisis. Individual actions, when accumulated among millions or billions of people, can and do matter.

If Paris, France, is turning some of its biggest streets—including the Rue de Rivoli—over to bikes rather than cars in the name of adapting to climate change (and dealing with the growing pains of that, too), it stands to reason that some of those aforementioned governments do see value in changing individual habits in the name of reducing emissions.

Recent research supports that notion as well. In a study published this year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers found that cities that added bike infrastructure saw cycling increase 48% more than in cities that didn’t add infrastructure such as bike lanes.

With the climate crisis, and now COVID, it’s no wonder that travel companies as big as Conde Nast are proclaiming bikepacking—the off-road version of bike touring—as the “travel trend we’re

trying this year.” As the author of that January 2021 article aptly stated, you don’t have to be an expert to get out on two wheels.

The Adventure Cycling Association also reports an incrase in interest.

"I can tell you we have definitely seen an increase in interest since the beginning of the pandemic," said Dan Meyer, deputy editor of the ACA's magazine, Adventure Cyclist.

While I’m far from an expert, these are a few tips I’ve picked up in my pandemic-era bike-tour travels. Like the climate crisis itself, my focus has been on reducing and reusing—hence, I keep it light and buy or trade for used gear whenever possible.

Food, not gas, is the fuel Instead of gassing up the rig, with bike touring or bikepacking, the “fuel” for these adventures is the stuff that goes into your own body. Foodies will delight in bringing that extra-special bag of dried mushrooms for a fancy ramen, while others go a bit more

no-fuss. Bring a burrito for dinner and a PB&J for breakfast and enough water (or a water filter, if you know you’ll have water sources along the route) and you are off.

Simple setup Just like backpacking, people’s setups for sleeping can run the gamut. You can spend thousands on gear from the newest gear shop; or you can manage with what you may already have. With gear shops that let you consign or sell your old stuff and exchange it for other new-old stuff, getting overwhelmed by the hungry beast of outdoor-gear capitalism doesn’t have to be the name of the game. Of course, you’re going to need a bike; but there, too, don’t overthink it. If you’re comfortable enough riding that bike across town, it’s good enough to ride overnight. If that’s not an option, see if there’s a friend to let you borrow one. In gear-heavy Central Oregon, decent bikes can even be found at thrift shops and online marketplaces— sometimes for decent prices.

Nicole Vulcan

The author’s cobbled-together gravel/touring bike, second from left, bought on Craigslist for less than a new Arcteryx down puffy. Also front panniers, bought on an online marketplace for less than a new pair of Tevas.

Same goes with what you bring along.

Strap a sleeping bag and hammock to your handlebars and you have the makings of your first climate-adaptive recreational overnight. Plus, up your setup a bit more by adding a rack and panniers to that gravel bike (another hot trend in cycling over the past several years), which will let you carry plenty of water, food, clothing and repair tools for a night or two or three.

Find friends Perhaps the biggest piece of advice—besides not overthinking it—I can offer is to seek out groups or individuals who can teach you what they know. Local route-makers such as Dirty Freehub have been a godsend for finding cool overnights.

"We have a route called Townie that teaches people to commute across town," Linda English of Dirty Freehub told the Source. "It's a really popular route. I think people have used it as a way to learn how to get out of Bend without getting in a car." Interest in bikepacking among Dirty Freehub's followers has also increased, English reported.

Local groups that advocate for safe cycling, such as Bend Bikes, or the love of trail riding, such as the Central Oregon Trail Alliance, can be awesome places to meet people in the area. Organizations devoted to inspiring people to bike tour, such as the Adventure Cycling Association and Warm Showers can provide support. Local bike shops such as Gear Fix also occasionally hold bike-repair clinics to teach people how to fix their own bikes.

Bike touring or bikepacking may be the things we do to foster joy and nurture our love of wild places—and happily, they can also be ways to adapt our recreation to meet the changing dynamics of the climate as well.

Climate Proofing Recreational Gear Keeping goods out of landfills

By Trevor Bradford Trevor Bradford Nico Brilmyer works the repair station at Gear Fix in Bend.

A

ccording to the Environmental Protection Agency, about 146 million tons of waste material were placed into landfills in 2018. Of that 146 million tons, nearly half of it consisted of waste like vinyl, plastic and other materials commonly found in outdoor gear.

“Decisions about how goods (such as food, plastic packaging, and building materials) are produced, transported, used, and disposed can make a big difference in the amount of the resources used, greenhouse gases emitted, environmental impacts created, and waste produced,” the EPA notes on its website.

To help alleviate landfill waste, shops in Bend and other locations are bringing the reduce, reuse and recycle motto straight to outdoor enthusiasts.

Landfill materials like metals, plastics and rubber are used frequently in typical recreational activity products.

From bikes and skis to clothing and kayaks, multiple businesses are doing their part when it comes to slowing the amount going to landfills.

Companies spanning from Patagonia to The North Face have adopted more recyclable and sustainable business models. As more people start recycling and reusing old items, companies are going to have to expand into a greener more conscious mindset that matches their consumer bases.

One of many local businesses dedicated to this type of business model is The Gear Fix. The folks there have been working toward keeping the landfills clear since their opening in 2006.

The ability to repair equipment ranging from tents to bikes is a key effort in saving landfill space.

“We are constantly looking for ways to decrease our environmental footprint,” said Matt Deacon, general manager of the shop. “It’s really important to be a positive part in the community.”

This shop has a large area for mending different aspects of outdoor activities. Tents are among the hardest things to repair, Deacon said, because the smells and stains are incredibly hard to get rid of. Backpack zippers and ski equipment are equally hard to fix, he said, because they aren’t made to be repaired. Other product repairs done out of the shop include resoling

climbing shoes and other climbing equipment, free wax clinics to learn how to re-wax your skis or snowboards, and bicycle repairs. Some of the more frequent repairs seen are clothing related and snow shoe bindings.

Repairing, reusing and recycling puts a hold on the wasting of recreational products that has been rising since 1960. With stores like Gear Fix, REI and more in the Bend area adapting into environmentally friendly practices, the war on product wastefulness is being tackled by Bend’s outdoor community.

Videos at BendFilm SOUND Music Ten artists will feature submissions during the first year of the new highlighted category

By Isaac Biehl MOsley Wotta and Jesse Locke

Hadrian Shmadrian, Dolphin Midwives, MOsley WOtta, Deaf Telepathy, Kevin Knapp ft. Baby Luck, Ellington Peet ft.

Emilia Austin, Mike Meyerz, and Harry The Nightgown.

Two Bend-based directors are featured in the mix of videos. Among them is Doone Williams, who directed Portland band Dead Telepathy’s video for “Midnight Sun” and made a trippy montage of found footage and visual effects, like you’re looking at videos of your own lost memories. Meanwhile, Jesse Locke, who worked with Bend’s MOsley WOtta on “Just Like Them,” helped create an animated world of lines and color by utilizing thousands of individual hand drawings to create the electrifying effect. The song itself is about navigating your own narrative, and the video plays into that. Animators on the project include Locke, Jason Graham of MoWo, Kaycee Anseth and even Graham’s kids stepping up with a helping hand.

“This was the biggest effort that we’ve ever done, in terms of how labor intensive it was. It took 18 months. We were intensely devoted to the practice of showing up and doing this thing little by little,” says Graham. “When you’re doing an animation piece, that’s hours of your life. To see that you could pour a lot of time and effort into something and you can see tangible results, that was a huge step up when we saw what we could do.”

All of the entries use their own unique visual techniques and methods of

storytelling. For instance, in Sleater-Kinney’s “Worry With You,” a couple finds themselves living together in a place that is way too cramped, making for a video that is both fun and a reflection on spending a little too much time in our homes during the pandemic. Kevin Knapp’s video for “Cute” is a fun portrayal of body positivity and acceptance. Chaz Matador and Hadrian Shmadrian’s video for “Reputation” pokes fun at the question: what would you do for success? As a musician tries to fake his death for record sales, only bad things come.

That’s the beauty of the music video category: everyone is sharing their own message and each video is crafted in its own way. It’s a strong group that will shine a light on the power of this particular medium, and they are all

well-deserving of the first year selection. Furthermore, this inclusion is also opening doors for other musical artists in the community who might want to work with directors and expand their visual art in the future.

“The consideration for how to diversify what they’re [BendFilm] doing is for the betterment of the community.

It just opens up more avenues. I’m all for the expansion of what film means and what visual media means. They’re actively looking at what they’re not seeing, and this is a consequence of that,” added Graham.

here’s an art to making the perfect music video, and over the years they’ve evolved and taken on many styles. Some are released as high-art short films, like Kanye West’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” while some stick true to the lyrics within the song. Others are released as comedic pieces, animated shorts, powerful statements. Whatever other genre you can think of, it’s been made into a music video. When made well, they take a lot of time, care and effort, which is why it makes perfect sense to feature them at BendFilm Festival.

This is the first year for the music video category, and viewers will be treated with 10 different videos that span a variety of visual styles, messages and genres of music. The ones chosen are a true showcase that highlights what can be possible when blending two mediums (sometimes more) in the right way, and going above and beyond to share a message and story.

“Expanding our festival categories means we get to formally broaden our recognition of storytellers of all immersive mediums. We relish the opportunity to celebrate the role film and music play together to captivate, create a sense of place and invite audiences to dream.

We look forward to sharing this new category with 10 beautiful, soul-baring videos,” said Selin Sevinc, BendFilm’s head programmer.

S

ome things are perfect and perfect basically means as good as it could possibly be. Perfection.

How many things in our lives meet this highest standard?

I recently asked my wife, Wendy, “Are trees perfect?”

Pretty quickly she answered, “Yes, trees are perfect.” She didn’t know where I was going with this and to tell you the truth, neither did I. Then I asked, “Are tigers perfect?”

“Yes.” She looked at me kinda funny.

“How about elephants?”

“Yes, elephants are perfect, too,” Then my last question, “How about human beings? Are we perfect?”

It was quiet. No answer. “I’ve got to think about that one for a while but I’m too tired now,” she answered.

A short time later I gave our daughter, Jessie, the same quiz.

Again, without much pondering she said “Yes” to trees, tigers and elephants. They are perfect. But when it came to human beings, she said, “No, we are not perfect.”

“Then what’s the difference, between us and all the others? I asked.

After a little more pondering she said, “Human beings make choices between right and wrong, good and bad, so we can mess up and do the wrong thing and we all do. We are not perfect.”

Hmmm.

What do you think, my dear reader?

Are humans perfect?

My answer to the question is also “No,” we’re not perfect, but I also hold out some room for a “Yes.” We are and we aren’t perfect! How could that be, Burt?

Doesn’t it have to be one or the other?

Please be patient, I’m thinking.

Let me tell you a story while I’m thinking: A few weeks ago I was at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend. I’ve had an autoimmune condition for over 10 years so every eight weeks I go in for a 30-minute infusion. Usually I sit by myself and look at the birds and clouds out their huge window.

But not that day. A nurse brought this big fellow to the seat next to mine. He had on a T-shirt that said World’s Best Grandpa and also wore a National Rifle Association hat. I was wearing a yarmulke on my head as part of my Judaic tradition. I said to him, “Nice T-shirt.”

There was a short pause, and he returned the compliment with “Nice hat.” We both smiled. I took a breath, looked up and said back to him, “Nice hat.” He looked at me and said, “Not everyone likes my hat.” And that is true.

I told him, “I don’t agree with

everything the NRA says but you and I can still get along. People should strive to do that.”

That’s how we met. Two very different old fellas needing medical care seated right next to one another. Needles in our arms and magical fluid flowing into our veins. He told me his name is John, and his treatment is for cancer, diagnosed just a few weeks ago. I didn’t know what to say, but I mustered up a tender, “I’m sorry, man.”

“Thank you,” he answered.

I believe there are no coincidences. There is a reason for everything. Not everyone agrees with me, but that’s the point of this whole story. We imperfect humans find it very easy to disagree with one another. And actually, that is the way it should be, even needs to be. Huh? Yes! We all see the world through our different eyes.

Disagreeing is as normal as breathing and blinking. Unfortunately, our disagreements, whatever the issue, can too easily turn into conflict and sometimes explode into hatred and ugly confrontations—all painfully imperfect.

I have never been an NRA fan.

That is me. John, my new infusion partner, obviously has a different point of view. We never mentioned our differences even once. We had more important things to talk about.

We spoke heart to heart rather than opinion to opinion. What is the reason we were placed next to each other that day? I felt for sure it was to find some way to communicate. We were already connected by our vulnerable situations.

In a few minutes we moved from “T-shirts and hats” to stories about times in John’s life when he came close to dying.

Two strangers and now we’re opening up, sharing and listening. Neither of us will ever forget that sweet meeting.

Back to humans, being both perfect and imperfect. I have some ideas now.

I’ll speak for myself but possibly it will be for all of us. I am imperfect. The list of my imperfections isn’t short, and one of my daily ones is being too judgmental. It comes easily. I grew up with it, I got excellent at it and the media floods us with it all day long.

How can we also be perfect? Many people all over the world, including myself, are consciously trying hard to become less judgmental. We see how it never brings joy into our lives. Maybe a brief high, but never joy.

Striving to be a better human being puts us on the endless path to perfection. That is perfection in this lifetime.

CULTURE

Oregon Celebrates Its First Official Indigenous Peoples' Day

By Nicole Vulcan

O

n June 1, Gov. Kate Brown signed HB 2526 into law, making Oregon the 11th state in the union to designate an Indigenous Peoples' Day. The second Monday of October—earlier designated as Columbus Day in many places around the United States—is now officially Indigenous Peoples' Day in Oregon. That day falls on Oct. 11 this year. In 1989, South Dakota became the first state to do away with Columbus Day in favor of what it calls Native American Day. The Oregon bill “recognizes and acknowledges the significant contributions to this state of Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribal nations, as well as those of many Native Americans from tribal nations across the country, and commits to greater access and opportunity for continued contribution by Indigenous People.”

The bill also underlines that Oregon does not formally recognize Columbus Day. “Whereas Christopher Columbus, a man who is known to have “discovered” the Americas, came upon land that was already inhabited by Indigenous People, his historically cited contributions being either inaccurate or facially not worthy of celebrating,” the language of the bill reads.

Among the bill’s chief sponsors was Rep. Tawna Sanchez (D-OR43), the second Native person to serve in the Oregon state legislature. Twenty-nine

other legislators sponsored the bill, including Bend’s Rep. Jason Kropf (D-OR54). Other Central Oregon legislators including Rep. Jack Zika (R-OR53) and Sen. Tim Knopp (R-Bend) voted in favor of the bill.

Indigenous Peoples' Day events Locally, Central Oregon Community College is among the organizations planning events to mark the day.

“For our inaugural Indigenous Peoples’ Day at COCC, we’re featuring some incredible learning opportunities and forums for opening dialogue,” said Christy Walker, director of the college’s diversity and inclusion program.

On Mon., Oct. 11 at 9 am, COCC will kick off the day with a virtual land-acknowledgement led by Native American Program Coordinator Michelle Cary, of the Seneca-Cayuga Nation.

Cary will discuss why acknowledging the historical occupants of lands is important, and how COCC developed its own land acknowledgement over the course of a year.

After acknowledging that COCC sits on the original homelands of the Wasq’u (Wasco) and Tana’nma (Warm Springs) people, the college’s land acknowledgement states, “To acknowledge someone is to say, ‘I see you. You are significant.’ The purpose of a land acknowledgement is to recognize and pay respect to the original inhabitants of a specific region. It is an opportunity

COCC's 2018 Salmon Bake event.

to express gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you exist in.”

At noon on Oct. 11, COCC World Languages Instructor Gabriann Hall of the Klamath Tribes will lead a talk in Wille Hall covering the facts and fiction surrounding Christopher Columbus from a Native perspective. Later, the talk will shift to the contributions of indigenous people and current issues for Native communities. Later in the day, from 4 to 5 pm in Wille Hall, Native American College Prep Coordinator

Kelsey Freeman will present a workshop titled “Incorporating Indigenous Perspectives in the Classroom.” The day will end with the 5:30 pm presentation of a short documentary titled “The Columbus Controversy,” with a follow-up discussion moderated by Cary of the Native American program.

Eatertainment, a German Pub LITTLE BITES and Toasted Subs New to Century Drive

By Nicole Vulcan

Nicole Vulcan

By Donna Britt @foodlifelove.com Courtesy Walt Reilly’s

New Restaurant at The Oxford

Indoor mini golf is one of the entertainment options at the new Walt Reilly’s.

T

he eatertainment experience has come a long way since the founding of Chuck E. Cheese back in the 1970s. These days, a modern eatertainment experience still involves food and fun, but the dining/drinking menu has expanded to engage the adult palate—and the play options have grown up as well. Take for example Bend’s latest entry into the eatertainment category: the recently opened Walt Reilly’s on Century Drive. Co-founded

by Paul Gerber and Tim Kerns, Walt’s was inspired by an indoor winter golf league that left the guys wanting that kind of fun experience. What seemed like a simple idea morphed into something a lot bigger as things began to get fleshed out, according to Gerber.

“We wanted a comfortable place that offered a varied experience. A place where a guest could spend a nice day out on the patio or catch a game on TV or rent a private dining room for a special occasion or play golf or enjoy live music,” he explains. “We felt like Bend was the town that was ready for this concept.”

Three ultra-modern golf simulators let guests hit the ball like they would out on a course and play on nearly 200 different golf courses from around the world. Advanced baseball simulators and 10 holes of mini golf add to the play.

The entertainment experience goes even further with live music in the mix; Gerber says they’ve invested a lot into a professional sound and lighting setup. Upcoming live music events include the acoustic Eagles tribute band, Motel Kalifornia on Oct. 16, a big Halloween

show, and a Precious Byrd concert on New Year’s Eve. “We wanted it to be a step up from what people may think of as a sports bar,” Gerber comments when talking about the food and beverage menus at Walt Reilly’s.

He says so far they’re getting rave reviews from customers but are staying open to feedback and tweaking the menu as time goes by. In order to develop the restaurant/bar portion properly and professionally, Gerber and Kerns partnered early on with Ted Swigert, who owns and operates the Washington and Drake establishments in Bend.

Along with their Double Fried Chicken Wings and a tasty selection of Dugout Dips, Gerber is quite proud of the Walt’s version of a Philly Cheesesteak, the Shibe Park, which he says is proving to be quite popular. And its take on a southern fried chicken sandwich, the Southpaw, is also earning its bragging rights. Maybe the most unique part of the Walt’s menu is its soft serve dessert options. Get vanilla or Dole Whip and enjoy it plain or fancy it up. Warm peanut butter sauce, chocolate syrup or caramelized banana are some of the topping options, or order the Clean Up Hitter with soft serve and a side of fries.

Liquid Therapy, as the Walt’s crew refers to the beverage menu, includes current favorites Key Lime Pie with vanilla vodka, a Pumpkin Old Fashioned, and a Harvest Margarita with apple cider and cinnamon. A dozen beer taps and an incredible selection of high quality liquors are also available. Gerber says they’ve had an exciting start but he’s even

more excited about where they’re going with, as he puts it, “more stuff coming.”

Walt Reilly’s isn’t the only new option along the Century Drive corridor. Prost!

Bend, a true German neighborhood pub, is open Wednesday through Sunday evenings at 40 SW Century near GoodLife Brewing and Cascade West Alehouse. Bier imported from Germany, traditional German food from Bavarian pretzels to Wiener schnitzel, and other German wines and spirits are served up in the inviting communal space.

Last but certainly not least to join the eatery lineup along Century Drive is the Cheba Hut, a toasted sub chain started back in 1998 by Founder Scott Jennings. Jennings focused on the harmony between great tasting food and a very specific counter-culture; in other words, it’s marijuana-themed. “Cottonmouth Cures” and “Munchies” are menu headings along with a selection of creative toasted subs including the Thai Stick teriyaki chicken and the Jamaican Red buffalo chicken sandwiches, and the Dank pizza sub. There are also vegetarian options and local beer and spirits. The Westside Village Cheba Hut location on SW Simpson Avenue is currently under construction and expected to open in February.

A new ground-floor restaurant is now open in the Oxford Hotel, where the Mother’s Downtown Kitchen was recently located. The new restaurant, called Roam, had its soft opening the last weekend of September. Roam offers “a variety of urban-organic dishes made from locally sourced foods,” as described by the restaurant’s listing on the reservations site Open Table.

Roam serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast items include omelets, breakfast bowls, brioche french toast and waffles; lunch includes sandwiches, burgers and salads; and dinner includes a filet mignon, braised lamb shanks, a buffalo burger and a cauliflower “steak” for those looking for a non-meat option.

The restaurant also offers a happy hour menu and a full bar with its own specialty cocktail menu.

With the opening of Roam, the Oxford’s restaurant located in the lower level, 10 Below, closed its doors.

Metolius Chai, Certified Organic

Metolius Artisan Tea, the Bend-based purveyor of loose leaf, chai, matcha and other tea products, says its beloved chai product is now certified organic. The company received word in September that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had officially certified its chai.

“While we have always used organic ingredients, it’s nice to have the official stamp of approval,” Kylee Corliss, Metolius’ operations and marketing manager, told the Source. Metolius was launched in 2011, but it wasn’t until 2018 that it began making chai. As the company describes on its website, its chai is an “all organic, creamy elixir of cardamom, fresh ginger, and cracked pepper, velvety sweet, handsomely caffeinated, with warming notes of cinnamon and cayenne.”

Walk-ins welcome Open 7 days a week

THE ADDAMS FAMILY 2: The first one was a little less dark than I expected from an “Addams Family” movie, so here’s hoping this one adds a little more pitch-black humor to my favorite creepy family (other than mine). All I know is that Snoop Dogg is voicing Cousin Itt, which means I have to see this. Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, McMenamins.

CRY MACHO: Clint Eastwood is back in a cowboy hat for the first time in decades as an aged horse trainer who travels to Mexico to rescue a young boy from his abusive mother. Definitely not upper-tier Eastwood, but still with some interesting things to say about masculinity. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub. DEAR EVAN HANSEN: Already being hailed as

this year’s “Cats,” this is a great Broadway musical attempting the difficult transition to the big screen. With an absolutely brilliant cast, here’s hoping this one succeeds where so many other big screen musicals have failed. Regal Old Mill .

Sisters Movie House.

THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE: Starring an awards-

ready Jessica Chastain, this is actually a much more tender look into the infamous televangelist Jim Bakker and his strange as all hell wife Tammy Faye than I was expecting. Worth watching just for the central performance of Chastain and a never-better Andrew Garfield.

Regal Old Mill.

FREE GUY: Oh Ryan Reynolds, you had me at

video game character who gains sentience and becomes a hero. I’m glad this was better than it looked…and should have been. Regal Old Mill.

JUNGLE CRUISE: I’m ready for a new movie

about a ride at Disneyland to be as good as the original “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie was, but this isn’t that. It’s fun and weird, but there’s just something missing. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX.

LAMB: Just…just watch the trailer. I don’t know

that I can describe this in words that will mean anything other than to say creepy Icelandic horror that looks like every nightmare I had when I grew up on a farm. Regal Old Mill.

THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK: For all of us asking why Tony Soprano was like that, here’s our answers. I’m assuming the answer is “because mafia violence,” but we’ll see. Regal Old Mill.

NO TIME TO DIE: The long awaited and long delayed final film in Daniel Craig’s five-film Bond era. From the director behind the stellar first season of “True Detective” and with a 165-minute running time, expect this to tide you over until we get a new Bond, a new director and maybe a more progressive take on the character. Regal Old Mill , Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins.

SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS: Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s another Marvel

movie, but if I can’t be excited for a giant budget martial arts fantasy starring Awkwafina and Tony Leung (in his English-language debut), then I’m just not Jared anymore. This is probably the best Marvel project since “Infinity War.” Regal Old Mill.

VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE: This has such a delightfully strange trailer and I’m so excited to see Woody Harrelson play a serial killer again for the first time since “Natural Born Killers.”

Dreams really do come true. Regal Old Mill , Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub.

“7 Days” - A romantic comedy set during the beginning of COVID that manages to be charming and funny while simultaneously being touching and beautiful. Check last week’s writeup (still available at bendsource.com) for a more in-depth look. Virtual.

“Everything in the End” - A haunting cry for empathy at the end of the world.

The Icelandic cinematography is breathtaking. Check last week’s story at bendsource.com for a deeper look. Virtual.

“The Humans” - A domestic drama directed like a horror movie which somehow feels like a revolutionary way to make a movie. The entire cast (including Steven Yuen, Richard Jenkins, Amy Schumer and a never-better Beanie Feldstein) are absolutely astounding. Picture “Hereditary” with only human monsters.

Noon on Oct. 9, 2:45pm on Oct. 10.

“The First Wave” - A gut punch of a documentary focused on the first wave of COVID in NYC. This should be required viewing now for those not taking the virus seriously. A truly important film that made me cry entirely too much. 2:15pm on Oct. 9 and virtual.

“Language Lessons” - An absolute charmer of a comedy exploring platonic love in a way I’m not sure I’ve ever seen in a film before. I’ve been a massive fan of Natalie Morales ever since “The Middleman,” so I hope this genuine and kind film outs her on an entirely new level.

starving for air. Heartbreaking and emotionally intense in ways that most films won’t even touch. The two best performances I’ve seen in a film all year.

Exhausting and unforgettable. Virtual.

While screenings of blocks of short films have always been part of BendFilm, this year each short block has a name, and a theme. Below are two of the “shorts blocks” and what they entail.

“The Unexpected” Shorts Block Chock full of the weird and wonderful if that’s your thing. Virtual. Includes: “Inheritance” - How to get rid of a nasty ghost infestation. Finds a perfect balance between absurd and creepy.

“The Binding of Itzik” - Exploring kinks, one email at a time. Funny, sweet and incisive in its look at intimacy in all its many beautiful forms. One of the most sex-positive short films I’ve ever seen. I invented a word to describe this short: Kink-couraging!

“Freezerburn” - A bonkers romance about magical cat people, exploring our sexuality and the disturbances of intimacy.

“Everything In The End” will melt you from the inside out.

“Washing Machine”- Animated lunacy about a deeply inappropriate washing machine. The horniest cartoon I’ve ever seen.

“The Tale of the Daughter” - A quirky and perfectly calibrated comedy about a young woman taking care of her hateful, sick mother and the ax that comes between them.

“Zombie Walk” - The best post-apocalyptic, COVID adjacent, Portland-set zombie short I’ve ever seen.

“I’m a Vampire” - A cute pandemic horror comedy about a little girl who thinks her parents’ COVID safety precautions means she’s a vampire. Gorgeous production design.

“On the Verge” Shorts Block -Filled with some of the most powerful and intense short films I’ve seen in years.

Virtual. Includes: “The Summer of Snakes” - A bittersweet coming-of-age drama shot with a genuine wistful nostalgia. Feels absolutely timeless.

“Lost Kings” - A very intense short about the lengths we will go to when completely out of food. A beautiful slice of empathy and understanding.

“Jungle” - Waking up to the worst moment of your entire life. Pulse pounding.

“The Ref” - Sometimes a second-grade basketball game can be the most intense thing ever.

“Vlada Goes to London” - Finds the universal in the personal. Such good vibes. This is one of THE filmmakers to watch from this festival.

BendFilm’s Selin Sevinc, the head of festival programming, and Executive Director Todd Looby have done a truly remarkable job curating this year’s festival, with choices so diverse and harmonious that there’s not really a single film that I wouldn’t recommend. Have fun diving into this phenomenal lineup.

ormally, for the issue of the Source Weekly right before BendFilm Festival starts, I make a mock schedule of how to catch all of my personal favorite things playing across the days so you can maximize your time there. This year, however, since the festival is a hybrid of in-person and virtual, this article won’t just be a rigid schedule recommendation.

A good majority of the films will be available to watch virtually, but four narratives and one of the documentaries are only available in person, so you can basically watch most of the films at your leisure.

Here’s how it breaks down: Oct. 9-10 are in person and 7-17th are virtual. I’ll let you know which movies on this list are available in which viewing format.

Adventures with Osprey

On banding birds in the sometimes-treacherous waters of Crane Prairie

By Trevor Bradford

Riley Smith

By Jim Anderson

oug Beal’s spectacular Osprey photo in the Sept. 8 edition of the Sisters Nugget Newspaper brought back some wonderful—and at times frightening—memories.

Back in the early ‘70s I was placing federal wildlife bands on baby osprey as part of an effort to determine the winter destination of the birds when they left Crane Prairie Reservoir.

It turned out I wasn’t the only one curious about the whereabouts of osprey in winter. Oregon State University grad student Gordy Lind was working on his master’s, using the life and times of the osprey as his topic, and needed that data as well.

That put me in high gear, and I began banding more babies than usual. I had to get permission from the U.S. Forest Service and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to climb up into the osprey nests to band the young, but it turned out I should have put up a sign on the boat I was using, saying, “I have permission to do this!”

I had been given permission to band birds in 1962, so I was OK in that area.

But the first time I went out to begin banding with Lind I was chased down by a wonderful old lady and her husband.

“Hey you!” she shouted from a boat nearby. “Get out of that tree! You’re bothering those birds and they are protected!”

Lind said, “It’s OK, Jim, I’ll go over and tell her what we’re doing,” and away he went, leaving me sitting on a dead limb in the tree. I heard most of the conversation, but it was Lind doing all the talking. All that old lady said was, “Uh, huh,” and she finally put an end to the discussion by saying, “All right, Henry, let’s go.”

Later in the day, my Oregon State Police pal, Kenny Roach, visited Lind and me in his official capacity as a state wildlife officer and told me we got turned in by a very observant and angry old lady for pestering the osprey at Crane Prairie Reservoir. I was thankful for her caring.

Now, about osprey and Crane Prairie.

One of the big reasons Crane Prairie Reservoir was the place for osprey to nest in Deschutes National Forest was the abundance of nesting substrate and prey.

When the first dam was built by the brand-new Arnold Irrigation District, to back up the Deschutes River in 1922, hundreds—if not thousands—of lodgepole pine were left standing and drowned in the reservoir waters.

The resin from their sap was so strong that residents of Redmond— who were using the Deschutes for drinking water—claimed you could smell the river long before you could see it. But those dead trees also became the substrate for millions of invertebrates that

Obstacles abound in the RISE Troops Challenge.

brown trout loved. That made it the fishing paradise it is today.

One day I went up to band on the reservoir with Stu Garrett and my son, Ross, who was in high school at the time. (Ross has since retired from flying F-16s in the Air Force, while Garrett, with the helpful support of East Cascades Audubon Society, works on bringing the Greater sage-grouse back to better numbers these days. Garrett was once my doctor, and after he retired we still kept doing wildlife stuff together.)

Garrett would drop me off at a tree then pull the boat off to a safe distance while I banded the kids. Well, one tree was almost my undoing. I got settled on a branch just beneath the nest, reached up and got my hands on a baby—with its mom and dad complaining overhead—and had just begun to get it ready for banding when the limb I was sitting on broke.

I started down, breaking limbs as I hit them, heading for the water. I tossed the baby osprey toward Garrett and the boat and did all I could to slow my descent, but all to no avail. The big fear I had was I’d hit a submerged tree and kill myself. I steeled myself for the impact.

Thank goodness all I hit was water and bobbed to the surface to see Garrett, my son Ross and the boat right there.

So I climbed in and sort of relaxed. But I was spooked, badly. We banded the poor little osprey who had gotten an

early flying lesson, then I put on my pole climbers, went up to the nest, plopped it in and came back to the boat.

Garrett and my son could see I was in trouble and we began to talk out what was going on. We knew if I didn’t get up another tree real quick, I’d never climb again.

As we drifted closer and closer to a big snag—in the top of which was an active osprey nest—I kept looking up at it. As we pulled up alongside, Stu looked at me and said, “What do you think?”

We tied up to that beautiful old punkin, then I looked up at the nest, gave a shake, grabbed the trunk, stepped out of the boat, sunk my spurs into the tree and headed up to the top.

I can’t tell you what I did to get the fear out of my mind, but when I got to the top I was back to my old self again. I banded the baby osprey and went back down to the boat.

One of those babies I banded set a distance record. It went all the way to Volcan, Costa Rica, that winter. I know that because I received an encounter note from the Banding Lab containing a photo of a man holding a dead osprey.

The man who killed the osprey sent the bands back to the banding lab with a note and Polaroid photo, thanking the lab for sending those delicious osprey to Costa Rica where they were—sadly— shot and eaten.

To honor those who have served in the military, Rise Events is hosting the third annual RISE Troops Challenge.

The challenge at hand is a 3-mile or 7-mile obstacle course race that participants can tackle individually or with a die-hard team. The obstacles and challenges will be based on actual military tactics and training equipment used by an array of military branches.

Carrying ammo cans for resupplying and conquering military style walls represents only a handful of challenges included in the course. Fitness tasks and airsoft targets will also allow participants to embrace their grit, strength and warrior spirit.

The short version or “Troops Selection” course is more suited for newbies or beginners. This edition of the event will feature military-inspired obstacles over 3 miles. While the longer “Troops Extended” course will involve more advanced, Ranger-inspired “surprises” that add an extra 4 miles to the race. Anyone is encouraged to bust out the longer course option, not just trained contestants.

Teams can comprise of three to five members with tasks based on a team of four. In addition, entrants for both individual and team members must be 11 years or older, with anyone under 16 being accompanied by an adult.

Registration ranges from $65 to $85 and includes a Finisher T-shirt, medal, beer (courtesy of Boneyard Brewing) and an adventure to remember! Members who registered before Sept. 19 are guaranteed the t-shirt size they requested.

Prizes, beer and more will be the pinnacles during the race events after-party celebration.

New Spirits Company Slings Batched and Bottled Cocktails

Forth Distilled Goods is the second to offer canned RTDs made in Bend

By Brian Yaeger

I

discovered Forth Distilled Goods the way most Bendites who are already hip to them have: at the Northwest Crossing Farmers Market. That market is now closed for the season but fear not, if you’re looking for that tasty, canned Bourbon Smash, co-founder Joey Pleich offered you a sample of, you can soon find it at their own tasting room opening soon in midtown Bend.

What’s more, you can try that readyto-drink (RTD) cocktail or their other equally enchanting one, the Cucumber Gimlet, or even a series of bottled RTDs. In other words, Forth proffers cocktails for home for those who may not aspire to be home mixologists.

Obviously, Americans’ drinking habits changed during the pandemic. And since we’re not out of it yet, those new homebound habits have led to a rapid rise in RTD sales. Neilsen reported that RTD sales nearly doubled as we vaguely started quarantining and drinks market analysis company IWSR reports it’s still the “fastest growing beverage alcohol category,” making it a $5 billion a year industry, according to industry research company IBISWorld.

Forth Distilled Goods is Bend’s second canned cocktail vendor after 10 Barrel. Wild Roots Spirits in Sisters also cans cocktails.

The two-man company is composed of Pleich, who came from Deschutes Brewery and tackles sales and marketing, while Bend native Ben D. Brewer (real name) has a degree in chemistry from Oregon State University and handles product development.

Farmers markets have treated the nascent Forth well—Pleich has sold as many as 60 cases in a single day—but as awareness and demand grow, locals will soon find their products in more liquor stores around Oregon. The perks of picking up their boozy delights at the almost-ready tasting room include, chiefly, being able to sample before you buy. Like other distillery tasting rooms, half-ounce samples will be available.

The bottled offerings come in re-useable swing-top bottles (with the required deposit going to a nonprofit, while those cans go straight into your recycling bin).

“It’s essentially a growler fill program for cocktails,” Brewer remarks—though it’s highly advised the consumer supplies their own ice and fresh garnish.

As the name implies, Forth makes distilled goods but is not a distillery. At least not yet. As is prevalent in the industry,

Welcome to a new world of cocktails.

the initial spirits emanate from Midwest Grain Products in Indiana. But one thing Forth doesn’t do is mix vodka or other banal grain neutral spirit with artificial flavors to create seltzer-like drinks. Both canned cocktails are 5% alcohol and carbonated (too bad floating season’s over), while the five initial batched bottles are 20%. Actually, the Motor Bike is 21%, but we’ll get to those in a second.

“We’re a full-flavored cocktail without being full strength,” says Brewer from behind what will be the bar. “They’re relatively light in sugar and alcohol, but with depth of flavor and complexity.”

Most of Forth’s offerings are vintage cocktails; no reinventing of any wheels.

There’s a “healthy struggle between vintage—we take a lot of inspiration from these cocktails that have been around a long time—and taking something that’s classic and putting it in a new format delivers in a way that consumers want to imbibe these days,” says Pleich.

The first ones include a Negroni (gin, amaro, sweet vermouth), gin martini, Goldilocks (perhaps better known as a relative newcomer called Penicillin, and made with rye whiskey, lemon, ginger and honey), Evergreen (gin, cucumber, lime), and the aforementioned Motor Bike (rye, amaro, lemon).

Forthcoming bottled beverages include an old-fashioned and a barrel-aged Manhattan, among others including seasonal releases or twists. Additional canned brands are coming, too.

The cans are $13.95 per four-pack while the bottles are sold for $39.95 each. The duo is likely to launch a club or subscription program, as well.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Some people are crazy drunk on rotgut sobriety,” wrote aphorist Daniel Liebert. I trust you’re not one of them. But if you are, I beg you to change your habits during the next three weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you have a heavenly mandate to seek more than the usual amounts of whimsical ebullience, sweet diversions, uplifting obsessions, and holy amusements. Your health and success in the coming months require you to enjoy a period of concentrated joy and fun now. Be imaginative and innovative in your quest for zest.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries poet Anna

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scottish Poet Laureate Jackie Kay, born under the sign of Scorpio, writes, “It used to be that privacy came naturally to everybody and that we understood implicitly what kind of things a person might like to keep private. Now somebody has torn up the rule book on privacy and there’s a kind of free fall and free for all and few people naturally know how to guard this precious thing, privacy.” The coming weeks will be a good time for you to investigate this subject, Scorpio—to take it more seriously than you have before. In the process, I hope you will identify what’s truly important for you to keep confidential and protected, and then initiate the necessary adjustments. (PS: Please feel no guilt or embarrassment about your desire to have secrets!)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “There is something truly restorative, finally comforting, in coming to the end of an illusion—a false hope.” So declared author Sue Miller, and now I’m sharing it with you, Taurus—just in time for the end of at least one of your illusions. (Could be two, even three.) I hope your misconceptions or misaligned fantasies will serve you well as they decay and dissolve. I trust they will be excellent fertilizer, helping you grow inspired visions that guide your future success. My prediction: You will soon know more about what isn’t real, which will boost your ability to evaluate what is real.

Western thought is founded on this repulsive pretense that pain is the proper price of any good thing,” wrote feisty author Rebecca West (1892–1983). I am very happy to report that your current torrent of good things will NOT require you to pay the price of pain. On the contrary, I expect that your phase of grace and luck will teach you how to cultivate even more grace and luck; it will inspire you to be generous in ways that bring generosity coming back your way. As articulated by ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, here’s the operative principle: “Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “If you don’t ask, the answer is always no,” declares author Nora Roberts. In that spirit and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to be bold and lucid about asking for what you want in the coming weeks. In addition, I encourage you to ask many probing questions so as to ferret out the best ways to get what you want. If you are skilled in carrying out this strategy, you will be a winsome blend of receptivity and aggressiveness, innocent humility and understated confidence. And that will be crucial in your campaign to get exactly what you want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Few persons enjoy real liberty,” wrote poet Alfred de Musset.

“We are all slaves to ideas or habits.” That’s the bad news. The good news is that October is Supercharge Your Freedom Month for you Aquarians. I invite you to use all your ingenuity to deepen, augment, and refine your drive for liberation. What could you do to escape the numbness of the routine? How might you diminish the hold of limiting beliefs and inhibiting patterns? What shrunken expectations are impinging on your motivational verve? Life is blessing you with the opportunity to celebrate and cultivate what novelist Tim Tharp calls “the spectacular now.” Be a cheerful, magnanimous freedom fighter.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The brilliant Piscean composer Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) wrote, “I wish I could throw off the thoughts that poison my happiness, but I take a kind of pleasure in indulging them.” What?! That’s crazy! If he had been brave enough and willful enough to stop taking pleasure in indulging his toxic thoughts, they might have lost their power to demoralize him.

With this in mind, I’m asking you to investigate whether you, like Chopin, ever get a bit of secret excitement from undermining your own joy and success. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to dissolve that bad habit.

KamieÐska said her soul didn’t emanate light.

It was filled with “bright darkness.” I suspect that description may apply to you in the coming weeks. Bright darkness will be one of your primary qualities. And that’s a good thing! You may not be a beacon of shiny cheer, but you will illuminate the shadows and secrets. You will bring deeper awareness to hidden agendas and sins of omission. You will see, and help others to see, what has been missing in situations that lack transparency.

Congratulations in advance!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Afghan-American novelist Khaled Hosseini writes, “People mostly have it backward. They think they live by what they want. But really what guides them is what they’re afraid of— what they don’t want.”

Is that true for you, Gemini? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to meditate on that question. And if you find you’re motivated to live your life more out of fear than out of love, I urge you to take strenuous action to change that situation! Make sure love is at least 51 percent and fear no more than 49 percent. I believe you can do much better than that, though.

Aim for 75 percent love!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking.” Oglala Lakota medicine man Black Elk said that, and now I’m passing it on to you. It’s not always the case that dreams are wiser than waking, of course, but I suspect they will be for you in the coming weeks. The adventures you experience while you’re sleeping could provide crucial clues to inform your waking-life decisions. They should help you tune into resources and infl uences that will guide you during the coming months.

And now I will make a bold prediction: that your dreams will change your brain chemistry in ways that enable you to see truths that until now have been invisible or unavailable. (PS: I encourage you to also be alert for intriguing insights and fantasies that well up when you’re tired or lounging around.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Don’t hope more than you’re willing to work,” advises author Rita Mae Brown. So let me ask you, Leo: How hard are you willing to work to make your dreams come true, create your ideal life, and become the person you’d love to be? When you answer that question honestly, you’ll know exactly how much hope you have earned the right to foster. I’m pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to upgrade your commitment to the work and therefore deepen your right to hope.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “To be truly visionary, we have to root our imagination in our concrete reality while simultaneously imagining possibilities beyond that reality.” This shrewd advice comes from author bell hooks (who doesn’t capitalize her name). I think it should be at the heart of your process in the coming days.

Why? Because you now have an extraordinary potential to dream up creative innovations that acknowledge your limitations but also transcend those limitations. You have extra power available to harness your fantasies and instigate practical changes.

Homework. Hold your own hand and tell yourself what you will do to end a nagging discomfort in your life. https://Newsletter.FreeWillAstrology.com.

VOLUME 25 ISSUE 40 / OCTOBER 7, 2021 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Am

I love my boyfriend. We’ve been together two years. Recently, however, we’ve been experiencing conflict over the issue of children. He wants kids; I don’t. I’ve always felt strongly about this, and he said he was fine with this when we started dating. But he’s been bringing up the subject of kids a lot lately (I suspect because he’s thinking about popping the question). The discussions have grown fraught—to the point where he was in tears at the end of an argument. I eventually said I could be open to kids because I love him and don’t want to lose him. But can this be healthy for us long-term?

—Conflicted Though many things in life come with the opportunity to push the “back” button, once you have a kid, you have a kid.

You can’t just drop ‘em off at the fire station if they turn out to be precociously criminal—already hot-wiring cars at age 7.

Deciding whether to have kids is a very recent state of affairs, coinciding with the development and availability of reliable birth control (starting in the late 1950s with the Lippes Loop IUD). For most of human history, unless a woman spent her fertile years all alone on one of those New Yorker cartoon desert islands, there was a good chance she’d have not just a child but the beginnings of a litter.

There’s a widespread (and mistaken!) assumption that a woman who gives birth will immediately and unconditionally bond with her baby, explains anthropologist and primatologist Sarah Hrdy.

Probably because of this, many people seem to believe the only thing stopping any woman from wanting a child is having yet to bring one into existence.

In fact, neither humans nor other mammals “automatically nurture each baby born,” Hrdy observes. Clinical psychologist Idun Roseth and her colleagues, reviewing research on mother-infant bonding issues, report: “Most mothers find that feelings of affection come within a week from birth. However, some mothers are still struggling with this after many months. A small percentage may even have hostile feelings towards their infant.”

In other words, the public has an overly rosy, sentimental—and scientifically incorrect—view of what’s often referred to as the “maternal instinct.”

There is no such thing—and the term “instinct” is the problem. The actual scientific definition of an instinct is an innate behavior (“factory-installed”— present at birth rather than learned

afterward) that members of a species perform automatically. An example is a baby’s crying—alerting everybody in earshot, “YO! I HAVE UNMET NEEDS!” (Nobody has to send their baby to crying school. It automatically wails its little head off when it’s wet, scared, cold, or wants a sip o’ nippy.)

In contrast with automatic instinctual behavior, there’s behavior that’s learned as well as behavior that is only sometimes triggered in some members of a species. Accordingly, the misnamed “maternal instinct” would be better termed a maternal impulse or motivation.

The impulse to nurture one’s infant is just one motivation that may arise in a woman. Hrdy has long emphasized that ambivalence and even rejection of an infant are other impulses a new mother may feel. (Unfortunately, the myth of instantly falling in love with one’s infant is so pervasive and strong that women who don’t experience this tend to feel there’s something wrong with them.) In reality, “maternal commitment” tends to emerge “piecemeal,” Hrdy explains, and is “chronically sensitive to external cues.”

By “external cues,” she means a woman’s current context—such as whether she’s unable to adequately feed and protect her infant. War, famine, postpartum depression, or even a new partner who doesn’t want another man’s child are contexts that may even trigger infanticide: a horrifying maternal impulse but a maternal impulse just the same. Thankfully, this impulse is relatively rare in our society, and many women (and men!) report “falling in love” with a child they never planned to have.

Maybe...possibly...you’d become one of those “in-love” women and be wildly happy you’d had children. However, in your email, you repeatedly made it clear that you don’t want kids. You are only considering it because you love this man and don’t want to lose him—which is quite different from wanting children.

You might ask friends who are parents to an infant and other young kids to let you spend a long weekend with them. Admittedly, this isn’t the same as parenting your own kids, but it might give you a sense of whether you’re actually up for the job—or whether you’re like me. Personally, though I have great respect for devoted, loving parents, if I were in charge of a thing that screams like it’s being eaten alive by a zombie, it would take about 20 minutes before there was grain alcohol in my coffee— and in someone’s sippy cup.

Selling a Home “As-Is”

I NEED CLOTHES

What does that really mean in real estate? that they have knowledge of. The seller must still fill out the seller’s property disclosure forms and addenda to the best of their knowledge. In addition, this as-is clause does not prevent the buyer from the opportunity to perform a professional home inspection to determine and assess potential issues.

The buyer may still terminate the contract based on what they find during a home inspection, unless the buyer has expressly waived their right to a home inspection and home inspection contingency period. It is extremely important to consider the consequences of waiving a home inspection, especially on a property that is an as-is fixer-upper. More often than not, there are issues that cannot be seen during a walkthrough. Having an inspector with a trained eye who crawls all over and under the house is crucial when buying a home that is in disrepair.

The term as-is can certainly be an indication right out of the gate that the property is in need of repair or is a fixer-upper. The downside of listing a property for sale as-is is that the term automatically denotes that there are serious problems with the property.

This in turn can lead to lowball offers from potential buyers, lead to a longer sale process and time on market, and limit the pool of buyers. For a buyer it can provide an opportunity to purchase at a lower price, add value and create profit. It can also mean a fun project that turns into a money pit.

In either case, it is important to discuss with a real estate professional the benefits and pitfalls of selling as-is or purchasing as-is.

hat does “as-is” mean in real estate? We all know what the term infers when buying a used vehicle, but is it the same in real estate?

Technically, when a home is listed for sale as-is, it means that the property owner is selling the home in its current condition and will make no repairs or improvements to the property before the close of the sale. It can also mean that no repair credits or price negotiation are available to finance the repairs/ improvements. The term as-is essentially tells prospective buyers that what they see is what they get.

In the State of Oregon’s residential purchase contract, there is a clause that expressly addresses “As-Is.” It states, “Except for Seller’s express agreements and written representations contained herein, and the Seller’s property disclosure, is any, Buyer is purchasing the Property “As-Is,” in its present condition and with all defects apparent or not.”

If the aforementioned statement is already in the purchase contract, why would a seller specifically state in the listing that the property is being sold as is? In some cases, people who are selling homes with the as-is declaration up front, it could be that the seller does not have the financial capacity or capability to fix the flaws, deferred maintenance or repair/replace broken items.

Alternatively, perhaps the property is bank-owned or was left to an heir in an estate settlement where the selling party doesn’t have any knowledge of potential issues or repairs.

While a property is listed to sell as-is, it does not exempt the seller from disclosing any problems or repairs
