3 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 34 / OCTOBER 8, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

This week, inside these pages, we attempt to answer one of the burning questions during this pandemic year: Is Halloween really canceled? And more importantly, will kids tolerate not getting loaded up with piles of candy?!

Among other news and commentary that could probably be categorized as more hard-hitting, we attempt to answer that question with some insight from local parents. It’s certainly a conversation around my house… along with how long—and short–it seems before this election is decided, and what our political landscape will look like once this important vote is behind us. We hope our “My view” series, featuring ongoing, long-format video interviews with local political candidates (which we’re excerpting in this and other issues), is just one tool in your overall toolbox, helping you make choices on your ballot this year.

n a presidential election year, every day can feel like a week; every week like a year. It feels like far more than a week ago that Americans watched as the two presidential candidates appeared together for their first debate. The subsequent string of local and national officials announcing publicly that they denounce white supremacy—in response to the president’s roundabout refusal to do so—also feels like a long-distant memory. And the president’s hospitalization from COVID-19? Started and finished, all inside this one week.

Here in Bend, the string of activity and ire around the notion of white supremacy came to a head at Pilot Butte State Park this weekend, where Black Lives Matter activists stood in front of a police car and demanded the officers denounce white supremacy, not long after a man pulled a gun on activists for stealing his Trump flag. The flag-stealer was cited, but no one else, as of this writing.

Online and on TV, the nasty tone of national politics has begun to shade local politics, too. A series of attack ads from a candidate running for Oregon House District 54 has been a lesson in the ugliness— and twisted truth—that can come during political season. We’re used to seeing that type of ugliness in national politics, but we’d hoped that Central Oregon politicians were better than that. Candidates should be responsible for their ads; and voters can hold politicians to a standard of decency by voting out the offenders come Election Day. Combined, the actions and activities from just this past week paint a picture of a house divided; of untenable and untreatable problems that signal a race to the bottom, both nationally and locally. We can’t help but tie all of this to the messages introduced in the new Netflix documentary, “The Social Dilemma,” which outlines how social media is designed to foster division—because division creates more web traffic, and more potential for advertising, than unity and understanding among people. Films such as this one represent small “wins” for those who want to see an end to the division, and a way forward that doesn’t make every week—filled with talk

of emboldening the Proud Boys, of twisted, untrue accusations from political candidates—feel like another long, difficult year. We’d like to believe that humans can chart a better way forward for our lives on the Internet, and “The Social Dilemma” lays out some of the ways to do so.

Pay attention to any of the issues mentioned above and it would be easy to believe that things are hopeless. But not quite as amplified are the voices of others who send a different message—one that may be closer to the truth that truly governs our lives. Case in point: fear and uncertainty being sown around the United States’ ability to execute a free and fair election. It’s a scary prospect, to be sure—and voter suppression is a real threat in many states. Here in Oregon, however, our leaders—both Democrat and Republican—have long invested in voter access by way of mail-in voting and automatic voter registration. Meanwhile, our governor—along with the governors of nine other states—just last week issued a statement patently denouncing white supremacy. And at the vast will of the people, the Oregon legislature, this year, devoted the majority of a special session to changing some of the laws around policing that were not serving the people.

When it appears that our institutions are crumbling, that our nation is imperiled and there’s no way out, these truths are the things to keep sight of— even as social media delivers you a type of hellscape hand-tailored to your internet-browsing history. To be sure, every institution—including the governance of Oregon—can and does need tweaking to ensure that institutional racism and police brutality and voter suppression, and heck, even outright presidential chicanery cannot continue. But the real work—and the real solutions—are achieved far, far from social media.

There was a time when time did not stretch into these long, protracted and surreal episodes of ire, violence and nastiness. As “The Social Dilemma” points out, changing where we aim our attention can begin the healing.

How can I practice solidarity without deindividuating? When we deindividuate, we risk sacrificing our humanity to the calls of the hive mind, we are shamed into sacrificing ourselves or be othered, again by the “other side.” White supremacy has an insidious tactic of monolithing people of color, of centering only one truth (often the loudest) at a time that serves its destructive purposes. White supremacy places us all in a pressure cooker and allots us only one monolithic voice— resulting in the binary that you are either a white supremacist or an anarchist. This is a false truth and as a person of color, I won’t subject myself to it.

This binary serves to erase every individual, critical thought from the liberation movement and present it as chaos and anarchy, and I hope to create space here in Bend for dialogue for people of color and other intersectionalities that may otherwise feel pigeon-holed or erased by the current binary.

Locating self in the liberation movement helps place each of us in our work. If we practice locating ourselves from a place of “race and...” we center racial injustice and also commit to follow the paths of the intersectionalities and nuance that lift up our diversity within the movement. If we really want to get closer to what makes us angry with the current systems, locating self can serve as a jumping-off point to practice holding multiple truths from a place of humanity.

We should not have to withstand being told to calm down by a white lady that yields power over us. We should not be in a place where we constantly fear for and are fighting for our lives. We should not be shamed for not participating in the mob mentality, for protecting ourselves and our families, and also, we should not be shamed for showing up to fight the system in the only way we know how. And yet, here we are.

I have no doubt that this will be read by some white folks and they will want to use my words against my people to perpetuate their racism. I am not here for that; I will not be weaponized against my own BIPOC community.

I have no doubt that this will be read

Letters must be received by noon Friday for inclusion in the following week’s paper. Please limit letters to 250 words. Submission does not guarantee publication.

Opinions printed here do not constitute an editorial endorsement of said opinions.

Letter of the week receives $5 to Palate! by some of the loudest BIPOC community members and they will want to cast me to the side in punishment for distracting from the cause or airing our dirty laundry in front of white folks.

But ya’ll—I am angry. I am angry at the binaries offered to me in order to participate in public discourse. I am angry at white supremacy. And so, I turn to locating myself in this movement. How can I practice solidarity as a dissenting individual? What about nonviolence?

Solidarity as a sense of unity that is expressed through accountability, through deep love and through actions of help and support. Solidarity as a bond that unites a community together in honoring each person’s story in dignity.

Nonviolence as a practice of engaging with violence and disrupting it, ensuring that violence, harm and injustice does not occur. I understand that sometimes you need to cuss a motha’ out. And also, there are other ways, too.

I don’t have answers, but as Adrienne Maree Brown says, “questions lead us to more interesting, honest places than answers.”

GUEST OPINION: WE NEED A UNITED FRONT TO DUMP TRUMP AND EXPAND DEMOCRACY

“Voting,” said the late historian Howard Zinn, “is marginally useful. But it is a poor substitute for democracy, which requires direct action by concerned citizens.”

Black journalist and author Ta-Nehisi Coates, says voting is essential and insufficient. Like other progressives and leftists— including Cornell West, Noam Chomsky, Linda Sansour, Angela Davis and Bernie Sanders—Coates will vote for Joe Biden.

It’s a strategic vote—and the only vote that will dump Trump.

“I can loudly say all the things Joe Biden was wrong about,” Coates explains,” and not feel guilty about voting for him. Me casting a presidential vote is not the totality of my political action within a society.”

All social progress comes from mass movements and the power of people in motion. If Biden is elected, we need to light a fire under his feet and demand freedom, equality, justice and peace.

I have voted in every presidential election since 1968, mostly for third-party candidates. Not this time. The stakes are too high. There is a difference between Biden and Trump. To deny that is to ignore Trump’s devastating impact on people of color, LGBTQ, people with disabilities, workers and their unions, the poor.

Four more years of Trump will bring much more pain and suffering to millions, crush what’s left of a tattered and never fully realized democracy, and usher in fascism.

A Biden administration will provide progressives room to take direct action and organize a mass movement that can challenge racism, sexism, homophobia, war, climate change and capitalism itself and push for fundamental social change.

We are already seeing what a second Trump term will bring—white supremacist vigilantes killing peaceful protesters; physical intimidation of voters at polling places; Trump goading his supporters like the terrorist Proud Boys into armed insurrection.

We can’t wait until election day to act.

We need a mass outpouring of people— millions of people—demanding fair elections, defending the idea of democracy, resisting authoritarian rule.

We need a massive popular vote for Biden in all states. A vote for any independent or third- party candidate helps Trump.

There are organizations working to build a united front leading up to election day. Sasha Abramsky’s recent article in The Nation addresses this: thenation.com/ article/society/trump-coup-elections-gop/ Central Oregon activists need to be part of this movement organized by Indivisible and Stand Up America. Go to protecttheresults.com for more information.

In the meantime, when your ballot comes in the mail, hold your nose if you have to, but vote for Joe Biden. Like Bob Dylan said, “Stop all this weeping. Swallow your pride. You will not die. It’s not poison.”

—Michael Funke

BOTH SIDES?

I have enjoyed the in-depth reporting presented by the Source on various issues and columns by Jim Anderson.

Recently I note that the letters to the editor are almost exclusively slanted to, or support laws favoring banning of fossil fuels (climate change legislation), marijuana use, identity politics, BLM, and are negative to everything Donald Trump.

I hope the Source will go back to presenting both sides of these issues in order to stimulate intellectual thought. Otherwise the “letters” page is nothing but pablum for lazy minds & haters.

—John Russell

Letter of the Week:

John: Your suggestion is noted— however, I feel it’s important to point out that we print most letters (provided someone has not submitted another letter recently). Could it be that our readers, by and large, support climate change legislation and the other things you mentioned? In any case, we welcome respectful dialogue, and in that vein, I award you letter of the week. Come on in for your gift card to Palate!

An agreement over what to do with Mirror Pond stalls out—again

By Laurel Brauns

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / OCTOBER 8, 2020 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Darris Hurst

T

he debate over dredging Mirror Pond is it at another crossroads: Some members of the Bend Park and Recreation District board say it’s time to open up the doors for another public process to decide the fate of the pond. Others argue that many major decisions—including public funding for dredging the pond—were made in the past. No further discussion needed. Bust out the excavator.

Now, the district is trying to move forward with a new memorandum of understanding with the City of Bend to establish an “update” committee that would revise the community’s vision for Mirror Pond to include a fish ladder at the Newport Dam. The establishment of this committee is one requirement among a long list of caveats BPRD and the City of Bend agreed to before paying up for dredging.

Many connected (but separate) projects fit under the header of the “Mirror Pond preservation project” including dredging, the fish ladder and a plan for a new trail connector from Portland Avenue to Drake Park.

While some of these projects are solidly in BPRD’s wheelhouse (trail building, riverbank restoration), other projects— like dredging and the fish ladder—require buy-in and funds from other public and private entities. The City of Bend committed $3 million as long as the “update committee” makes plans for the fish ladder.

But dredging the pond remains controversial in the Bend community and within the BPRD board. Anti-dredgers are skeptical of spending millions in public funds on dredging a pond that historically refills with sediment soon after it’s dredged.

Mirror Pond Solutions, (a pro-dredging group headed by developers Bill Smith and Todd Taylor) also technically owns the land under the pond.

There is no public record of MPS demanding $300,000 for the easement for the new Pioneer Park to Drake Park connector, which will touch the pond in some places. Nor is there public record of MPS suggesting BPRD pay that amount for an easement so that tubers and boaters can continue to enjoy the pond.

However, meeting minutes from Aug. 18 read: “Executive Director Horton suggested that instead of making the $300,000 contribution for the dredge, the district could use the money to purchase the easement over the pond. He spoke about the difficulties in appraising the value of the easement and if the same formula is used in the appraisals for the other easements, the cost would exceed the $300,000 that has been allocated.”

Yet, most easements for the trail were donated, and BPRD spent $90,000 in total on the others.

The Newport Avenue dam was first built in 1909, creating Mirror Pond. At the time, it provided an abundant source of power for the small town of Bend.

Today it provides enough power for fewer 1,000 Bend homes.

In the past, BPRD has committed to allocating $300,000 toward dredging, and MPS has suggested that if it pays up now for the easement, BPRD could be off the hook for its payment toward dredging in the future.

In effect, if BPRD commits $300,000 for an easement with MPS, it would be forced to commit to the dredging project. Previous agreements required BPRD and the City of Bend to support at least some formal public process to re-evaluate the community’s vision for the fish ladder and the pond before signing on the dotted line for dredging.

Without a Mirror Pond easement from MPS, BPRD can’t finish its new trail project. It needs to finish it in the next two years to comply with grant funding.

BPRD board member Ariel Méndez said that he wants the board to reach an agreement with MPS over the easement before rushing into another binding contract with the City of Bend on the fish ladder, which is a separate, but related topic. It would be one way to keep everything cleaner and clearer about Mirror Pond moving forward, he said.

“There could be a side agreement with MPS,” said Don Horton, the executive director of BPRD. “But it would have to include two things: A guarantee that the dredge takes place, and that we manage the project.”

Méndez said that grouping many different projects together under the heading of the “Mirror Pond preservation project” is a tactic to make sure the dredging is accomplished with public funds.

“The idea of a unitary ‘Mirror Pond preservation project’ is actually several distinct projects, the goals of which are contradictory and potentially incompatible, and this [new proposed agreement

with the City] casts a layer of incoherence on the entire project,” said Méndez said at the board’s Sept. 15 meeting.

Board members discussed the meaning and intention of multiple past MOUs and resolutions for more than an hour on Sept. 15. When it finally voted to move forward with the new MOU with the City, the motion failed two to three, with Schoenborn and Deb Schoen in favor, and Jason Kropf, Nathan Hovekamp and Méndez dissenting. It was the first time a motion before the board had failed in years.

The main question Should BPRD, the City of Bend and other groups support a public process and invite the community to weigh in on the pond before committing to dredging, which will cost a collective $7 million from public and private entities?

The last community agreement was reached in 2015. At the time, a slight majority of people surveyed endorsed a compromise between a pond and a free-flowing river. But that option is off the table. PacifiCorp stated it has no plans to divest of the dam in the future—a different scenario than the one broached in the 2015 survey, when the sale of the dam was still a possibility.

In the years that followed PacifiCorp’s announcement, Mirror Pond Solutions and other dredge advocates swayed a majority of Bend city councilors to not only support the dredge, but to commit $3 million toward the MPPP. BPRD also committed to contribute $300,000. The entities crafted a resolution together with a long list of caveats and exceptions that BPRD staff and board members now must interpret and adhere to in order to move forward on the fish ladder and dredging.

BPRD board member Jason Kropf interpreted BPRD’s original agreements to mean that a new MOU with the City is the opportune time to invite the public to weigh in on the entire vision for the MPPP. “Given the history and since it’s been a number of years since there’s been a full process to evaluate what the public wants us to do with public dollars, I think it’s a missed opportunity if we don’t make this MOU broad enough…

Let’s either have a narrow fish passage committee or a broad [public] process.

This [MOU] takes a middle ground and cobbles together a number of strange pieces of [the original agreements].”

BPRD board member Ted Schoenborn disagreed: “It seems like we’re consciously and deliberately trying to obfuscate the decisions that were made and use the fish passage as a way of going back and revisiting 10-12 years of work on the thing,” said Schoenborn. “I get incredibly frustrated on these things.”

During that last meeting, Schoenborn made a motion to move forward with the current draft of the MOU. When it failed, he suggested adjourning the meeting with an exasperated sigh.

In the end, Horton made it clear that pausing the whole process to reach an agreement with MPS could delay the whole MPPP for many months or even years, and put the new Pioneer Park/ Drake Park trail connector in jeopardy.

Horton said the MOU was necessary to move forward with broader discussions and commitments with the City and MPS about the entire preservation project, including dredging. He said he hoped to reach an agreement with the City on the next steps as soon as possible.

On that time line, the City could commit to dredging before the community has weighed in on the pond’s future.

Pero muchos de los manifestadores que luchan por la justicia racial bloquearon un crucero diciéndole a los oficiales que “denunciaban la supremacía blanca” si querían irse. ¿No ves aquí el problema? Gritó la residente de Bend Adriana Aquarios.

“Tenemos preguntas, tu las respondes, nos quitamos” Planto sus pies frente al crucero y dos de los oficiales la agarrarón por sus muñecas.

Acuario, le dijo más tarde a OPB, “Tan solo me quede allí. Me mantuve firme. Tan pronto como comenzaron dejar de apartar mis dedos, me senté y me arrestaron” Mientras que la policía arrestaba a la señorita Acuario en la banqueta, cuatro personas se apililarón sobre ella formando un escudo. Al presenciar esto los oficiales se retiraron y abandonaron el lugar.

Inside Our Endorsement Interviews: Phil v. Phil

Excerpts from our video interviews with Phil Chang and Phil Henderson, the two candidates running for Deschutes County Board of Commissioners pos. 2

By Nicole Vulcan

Phil Henderson, Republican Candidate for Deschutes County Board of Commissioners Source Weekly: Can you give an example of a time you worked with someone with a different ideology than your own and how you came up with a policy solution that worked for all parties involved?

Phil Henderson: I’ll give an example of one that’s been in the press a lot, as we just started a new Crisis Stabilization Center. The idea is that it's a place to try to divert people that are otherwise going to the emergency room or the jail—going to somewhere, where if they’re in some kind of mental health crisis, they can stabilize their situation. I agree with the policy, I think it’s a great idea, but there were some disagreements about how fast we should get there and how much you should spend and the approach—and so one of the things that I did that was— and some people complained about—but I thought it was exactly what I’m supposed to do. I said, well, before I go forward with this I want to go see some, so I went to six different counties in Oregon that have stabilization centers and visited them. We got a better idea what we’re getting into and there were a lot of issues about how much we should do, how we should do it, and we added things.

Bringing back those ideas—and that was mostly a matter of you know, discussions back and forth between us and the staff— the staff had already gotten this idea before I was elected and they were working on it, but they never got the thing put together

and during the time I’ve been there we have got to put together, that was kind of, working with them. It wasn’t always agreed that but in the end I think everybody’s really happy how we’ve done it.

SW: COVID is inevitably going to put some strains on budgets. What’s going to be your approach to the county budget in the coming year?

PH: We did our budgeting for this fiscal year—which goes from July through June—in May, and in May we were really concerned about several items: one was the transient room taxes, the room taxes for visitors that provides a lot of our expenses, contributes to the sheriff’s department and contributes to some of our other main functions like the Fair and Expo. And tourism, we thought that was going to be down significantly. It was for a couple months— but it looks like that’s ended and so I don’t think we’re as worried now as we were a couple months ago because people seem to want to come here to travel. We had the same concern but as you’ve seen around Bend, I think there’s more people driving now than there was six months ago, and there’s lots of out of out-of-state plates.

So those two are looking better, which gas taxes provide a lot of our road maintenance and construction things. We have had some serious decreases with the fairgrounds and Expo Center. We've basically been out of business since March. We’re having to fund that with some of the general fund for a year and with transient room taxes that are carried over.

The other thing we were worried about was property taxes could go down. It doesn’t seem to be doing that either because you know, again, people want to live here. I want to live here. So Submitted

Candidate Phil Chang thinks the county should do more to fund public and behavioral health.

our cutbacks mostly were planning for kind of the worst in those areas.

Phil Chang, Democratic candidate for Deschutes County Board of Commissioners Source Weekly: Give me an example of a time you worked with someone ideologically opposed to your personal views, to come up with a policy solution that satisfied all the parties involved.

Phil Chang: Working to build the Deschutes Collaborative Forest Project—the forest collaboratives that help us do the work that we need to get done in the National Forest.

I was right in the middle of bringing the timber industry, the environmentalists, the firefighters, the recreationists, local governments and other entities together to build that project—to build that group and to hammer out an agreement so that we could tell the federal government, ‘We all agree. This is what needs to happen in these national forests.’

SW: Should the county do more to fund public and behavioral health, and what would you do differently with that department in the coming years?

PC: Yeah, the county should absolutely do more to fund public and behavioral health. In the last two years the population of Deschutes County has increased by 5%, while our general fund investment in the health services department has decreased by 6% as a result of that. We have less capacity to manage COVID, and we’re straining our contact, you know, the people who are contact tracing and doing that kind of work.

We have less capacity to do things like open—get the Crisis Stabilization Center

opened. The dirty little secret is that the crisis services group within the behavioral health department has gotten zero additional funding in the last couple of years, even as they’ve been trying to stand up this Crisis Stabilization Center. So the commission says, oh, you know, we’re supporting the Stabilization Center because they’re still paying this paying the salaries of a couple of staff that they were paying for before, but they have done nothing to help accelerate the opening of that facility that is providing such important services to our community. And that is the reason why it took six years from the initial decision to open the Crisis Stabilization Center to actually get it open.

SW: What’s your perspective on the conflict over marijuana and land use in Deschutes County?

PC: So this is an issue that the County Commission has put back on the ballot. So we will have, all of us, as Deschutes County voters, will have a direct opportunity to weigh in on that issue in November—and at the end of that process, that ballot measure process, whatever the will of the voters is what the county should do. I do believe that this commission has been resisting the will of the voters from the 2014 vote on measure 91 and in the process of resisting the will of the voters has been costing us a lot of time and money.

As people from affluent cities pour into Bend to escape COVID-19, home sales and rent prices skyrocket, leaving locals priced out of the market

By Laurel Brauns

“I

t’s quite extraordinary. Home sale prices increased by 15% just this summer. Historically, it’s 7% to 9% a year,” said Brian Ladd, a principal agent at Cascade Sotheby’s. Ladd grew up in the real estate industry and has been a broker for the past 20 years.

“People are panic buying. I’ve never seen anything like this,” he said.

As white-collar workers living in prosperous cities were advised to work from home to prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, they were simultaneously isolated from many of the experiences that make city living worthwhile: theater, live music, unique restaurants, public transportation.

In contrast, Bend’s COVID-safer outdoor amenities offer refuge and relief.

Many former city-dwellers moved to Bend this summer after making sameday offers on houses sight unseen, Ladd said. Others have happily handed over cash for high-end luxury apartment rentals, which are cheaper than rentals in Seattle or San Francisco.

This demand drives up prices for local renters and buyers. If they’re living on Bend’s area median income, finding an affordable place to live just got a lot harder. The median income for a family of four in Bend in 2019 is $78,600, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. (It does not produce statistics for single people, but instead adds together the incomes of everyone in a four-person household.)

While skyrocketing home values and rising rents may be cause to celebrate for some Bend property owners—and for those who see it as a path to relative economic stability for Bend—the housing market is just one of many indicators demonstrating the deepening chasm between the haves and the have nots during the coronavirus pandemic.

“What we’re seeing now is how COVID has affected people both economically and health wise where people of lower income, people of color, they’re hit so much harder than the middle class,” said Lynne McConnell, the affordable housing manager for the City of Bend. “How are we as a civilization going to ensure that we have space for folks, for essential workers? This need is exacerbated by the wildfire evacuees.”

Locals' lament Justin Serna has lived in Bend on and off since 1987, while also bouncing around to cities including San Francisco and New York. For the past four years, Serna lived in the same rental house on Bend’s west side. Last month, Serna heard from his East-Coast landlord that he was selling. Serna and his girlfriend have to be out by the end of the year. Serna works for Mountain Modern Airstreams and is

a professional mountain bike guide, so he said his one “must-have” is garage or storage space for “toys and tools.”

Decades in Bend mean he’s well connected, often finding “unique and fun” owner-managed properties throughout the years, including this last one. Finding places through friends of friends is a way to circumvent the chaotic mayhem of the local rental market, influenced by the desires of tourists and people moving in from out of town.

But, this time, Serna’s inside connections—even his friendship with a local property manager—have turned up very little. The statewide moratorium on evictions, combined with a spike in demand from the coronavirus-inspired urban exodus means there’s “just very little out there,” he said.

He did find one house 25% above his monthly budget, but when he arrived to The Nest

A photo from a typical apartment listing on the Bend Craigslist page: This one from the “Nest” features granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen. “Enjoy your morning cup of coffee looking at the mountains!” it reads, and rents for $2,305.

look at it, 20 people were already ahead of him.

“The competition is high. People are asking you to make three times your monthly rent,” he said. “That, and you have to have first and last, plus deposit.

For me, that’d mean $5,000 up front.”

If he found a house for $2,000 a month (which he so far hasn’t), he’d have to prove he made $6,000 a month.

“The majority of people that are now paying the higher-end rents are working remotely,” he said, noting he’s met a flood of newcomers in this category through work. “The job market does not support the amount of rent that people are paying here. It’s almost cheaper to find a house and buy it at this point: You’ll pay less for your mortgage than you will in rent.”

That is of course, if you happen to have $100,000 lying around—the 20% down payment often needed for a $530,000 house. That’s the current median home price in Bend, the highest in the city’s history, according to the September 2020 Beacon Report.

What affordability looks like Even in 2019, the Central Oregon Regional Housing Needs Assessment showed that more than half of renters in Deschutes County spent more than 30% of their income on housing and just over a quarter spent more than 50%.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development considers people who pay over 30% of income on rent as “rent burdened,” and people who pay over 50% of their income on rent as severely rent burdened.

As rental costs continue to skyrocket, renters with Bend-based jobs are increasingly priced out. To afford a monthly rental payment (with electricity/sewer/ water etc.) of $1,000 a month, renters would have to earn an income of $40,000

Apartment Hunt I found almost nothing in that price range ($1,000/month) during a recent search for apartments in Bend on Craigslist, save for one older, first-floor two-bedroom off Brosterhous Road near Fred Meyer.

went on the rental market in mid-June with 203 vacancies. It was filled by Sept.

1, according to its website. Units rent from $1,300 (studio) to $2,650 (spacious two bedroom with four windows).

The landlord’s view Brandi Snow runs Partners Property Management & Sales in Bend and is the president of the Central Oregon Rental Owners Association. She said her company, which manages between 200-250 properties, has zero vacancies.

“It’s at an all-time low. Because of the state’s moratorium on evictions, people can’t move out. Tenants have no reason to vacate, no reason to pay. So if people don’t move out, and if people aren’t buying new houses to rent out, there’s no availability,” she said.

Snow said numerous owners she manages for have been selling off their rental properties.

“Not just because the market is hot, though that’s a factor, but because of the uncertainty. There’s a lot of risk right now,” she said.

Snow said the state’s moratorium on evictions has made it harder for owners to demand compliance with rental agreements. If a complaint ends up in court, judges are more likely to side with tenants in the age of the coronavirus, she said.

Further adding to a property owner’s risk was SB 608, a tenant’s rights bill passed last year, which makes no-cause evictions after one year illegal. While owners can still kick tenants out for nonpayment or “outrageous conduct,” the new law requires land-

"Bend is a really desirable place to live, that’s why there’s supply shortages and housing is so expensive.

People come here with cash. What is the City supposed to do about that? It’s a free market. I think we’ve done an incredible job given those forces."

—Bruce Abernethy Most two-bedrooms were in the $1,500-$2,000 range with many new listings disappearing within days. The first 20 listings were taken up by people posting ads looking for a place to live.

The rest were dominated by advertisements from newly built luxury apartments or high-priced boutique living spaces, some of which could have been rented on Airbnb pre-COVID. Some examples I found: $1,700 for a one-bedroom near Hillside Park, $1,495 for a “spacious” apartment on the east side, $3,500 for a three-bedroom house near the Old Mill District, $1,570 for a 933-square-foot apartment near Pilot Butte and $1,900 for an accessory dwelling unit on Bend’s west side. The market was almost just as tight in Redmond, where $1,635 for a 1,065-square-foot “luxury” two-bedroom was commonplace.

The Hixon at Westside Yard Apartments (near the old Ray’s Food Place)

lords to pay one month of a tenant’s rent if the eviction is caused by the owner’s decision to sell or fix up the property, for example.

Snow explained that the law has motivated many owners to evict tenants after a year in order to shield themselves from the potential liabilities called for in the new law. It also may encourage landlords to hike rents by inflation plus 7% every year—the maximum amount an owner can increase rent per year under SB 608.

The housing shortage Brian Ladd with Cascade Sotheby’s explained that while the market was hot during the last housing boom, this time it’s more dramatic. Most houses have multiple offers, and some have 20 or more offers, he said. One reason: the severe shortage of inventory.

“At least during the boom there was more building activity,” he said.

11

The Hixon at Westside Yard Apartments, a new complex near the old Ray’s Food Place, rented out in 2.5 months this summer, filling 203 brand new units.

“Even with the recent urban growth boundary expansion, building in Bend is still way below its peak in the mid 2000s.”

Adding to the shortage is the fact that there was very little building in Bend at all between 2008 and 2016 as the city struggled to get a new UGB expansion approved by the state, Ladd explained.

The available housing supply and how long it will last is another vital statistic real estate experts use to read the market.

“Even at the height of the boom in 2005 and 2006, you had six months of inventory, 180 days,” Ladd said.

“But now we have 19 days, less than three weeks. There's a massive housing shortage; very few homes with no excess inventory.”

Faith in the free market “Bend is a really desirable place to live, that’s why there’s supply shortages and housing is so expensive,” said Bruce Abernethy, Mayor Pro Tem, and Bend mayor at the time of the first UGB proposal. “People come here with cash.

What is the City supposed to do about that? It’s a free market. I think we’ve done an incredible job given those forces. The City of Bend has brought more affordable housing online than any other city besides Portland.”

Bend was the first city in the state to implement an affordable housing fee in 2006 and it has funded 770 units so far. But the community needs thousands more.

“We will never be able to buy our way out of this,” McConnell said. “The regional housing analysis shows a need for housing units at every income level.

It is very challenging, arguably impossible, to build as quickly as our community is demanding it.”

The Regional Housing Needs Analysis published by the state and ECONorthwest in August 2020 demonstrated that during the next 20 years, the Deschutes region will need nearly 50,000 new housing units, with 4,837 currently under production. Of this amount, 89% of the new housing need is related to population growth.

Legislating our way out of this?

During the short session this winter, Gov. Kate Brown introduced HJR 203 to change the Oregon Constitution to allow the state to establish a real estate sales tax. (Eight years ago, Oregon voters outlawed a transfer tax, even though most other states have one.)

Brown’s measure would have excepted the first $500,000 of a property’s value and the new revenues would fund affordable housing. The proposal died along with everything else scheduled for the short session this February, after Republicans walked out in protest of climate change legislation.

The state could also reduce its tax deduction for mortgage interest payments and use the funds to build affordable housing. Right now, the deduction costs the state $500 million annually and primarily benefits the upper class, according to the Oregon Center for Public Policy.

Eileen Kiely, a Democrat running for Oregon’s Senate District 27 to replace Sen. Tim Knopp (R-Bend), told the Source during a candidate endorsement interview that she’s interested in using property tax reform to address the local housing crisis.

“We have property tax equity issues.

Measure 47 really exacerbated them: Two houses right next to each other could pay $1,000 more or less than the other,” Kiely said.

Measure 47, passed in 1996, reduced property tax increases in the state to 3% per year. It helps people who live in a hot real estate market from getting buried by taxes as their home value spikes.

But Kiely questions the need to provide the same break for those who own a second home or vacation rental.

“We have a lot of housing here taken up by tourism because it’s very profitable,” she said. “If we were to make more of that available for longterm housing, that would go a long way towards our shortage. It’s not equitable to give vacation homes the same property tax breaks as a longterm rental or primary residence.

Let’s stop subsidizing what we don’t want to encourage.”

a year, earning about $20 an hour for a 40-hour work week. For those making $11/hour, that would require a 70-hour work week to afford the same apartment.

But the average Bend renter makes $14 an hour, according to the RHNA report, and many workers dubbed “essential” during the pandemic, including medical workers, grocery store workers and those in the service industry, make between $15 and $20 an hour, according to the Oregon Employment Department. An essential worker at St. Charles Bend who earns $15 an hour could afford $800/month in rent by HUD standards, for example.

“Bend has a solid workforce, but for the people that are facing housing insecurity, their brainpower often becomes focused on where they are going to be living, when instead they could be benefitting their employer, improving their health or working on their business,” said McConnell, the City’s affordable housing manager.

Post-COVID outbreak statistics on occupancy rates and average rents in Bend do not yet exist. HUD published its last report in 2018 on the Bend/Redmond region. At that time, the vacancy rate was 4%, with a two-bedroom going for $1,032.

Multiple sources said they believed the current vacancy rate is below 1%.

Oh, Boo. Is Halloween Canceled?

Local parents weigh in on a Halloween sans trick-or-treating, and spooky traditions move online

By Cayla Clark

"We’re definitely dressing up, but unsure if we’ll be hosting, going to out into our neighborhood or coming up with a new Halloween tradition.”

—Izzy Warrens and say, “Welp, Halloween is canceled; stay inside,” the DBBA moved its annual costume contest to a virtual platform and restructured the scavenger hunt, social-distancing style.

“Now more than ever it is important that we support our local businesses,” said Mindy Aisling, executive director

Courtesy DBBA

of the DBBA. “We have a few really fun do-it-yourself Halloween activities for Bend families to have COVID-safe fun!

We still want to see all of the great costumes, so we’ve moved the kids costume contest online. Prizes will be awarded for the costumes that we love the most from every age group.”

The contest is open to kids under the age of 12. Simply dress up, snap a photo and submit it online. To play the Halloween Scavenger Hunt, find one of the items listed on the website, take a selfie next to it and post it with the hashtag #bendhalloweenhunt2020.

Two winners will be randomly chosen in early November. All Halloween-related activities are mapped out on the DBBA website.

The Source Weekly’s calendar— normally full of Halloween-related

events—does include a few festivities on Oct. 31 for those wanting to head out. For example, Venardo’s Circus is hosting a “Spooky Spectacular Circus Show” at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center, while at General Duffy’s Waterhole—a go-to gathering point in Redmond throughout the pandemic—a Courtesy DBBA

Last year’s Halloween costume contest included ample mask-wearing, but the implications have since changed.

Costumed kids participate in last year’s Halloween festivities – pre-COVID.

costume party goes along with the music that evening. And in the Twittersphere, other local parents say they’ll go ahead with small, neighborhood-focused trick-or-treating, pointing out that the main event (as in, getting candy) takes place outdoors, and the virus does not easily spread on surfaces (like candy wrappers).

But some local parents don’t mind the changes this year, explaining they won’t really miss holding back on a holiday that centers around refined sugar and tooth decay. “I don’t support my children eating candy, so Halloween being canceled really isn’t a huge loss,” said local mother of three Sara Walker.

“I don’t think adapting will be too difficult, we’ve all gotten used to making changes at this point. The girls enjoy carving pumpkins every year, so we’ll just have a pumpkin carving party and throw on some classic horror movies.”

Mother of two, Katy Ipock, shared the same sentiment. “We never really did Halloween anyway,” she said. “My son isn’t a fan of candy so the holiday makes zero sense to him. Having a kid who doesn’t like candy is obviously a huge win.” Safe to say this is a unique case.

Izzy Warrens, local mother of two boys, explained that while things were still up in the air, her main priority was ensuring that her son was having a good time – and experiencing some

semblance of normalcy. “I told my son that we would most likely raincheck on this year’s standard activities,” she said. “I’m just keeping my ears open this week to see what other community members are saying. We are unsure at this point. We’re definitely dressing up, but unsure if we’ll be hosting, going to out into our neighborhood or coming up with a new Halloween tradition.”

Warrens said they’ll be skipping the Old Mill, a trick-or-treating draw for families in normal years (the Old Mill does not have Halloween activities on its calendar this year so far), and won’t opt for church gatherings, either.

“Maybe truck-or-treating with a ton of sanitizer spray! My main priority is my youngest dressing up and doing an activity that’s fun for him,” Warrens said. Overall, Warrens said adapting to the changes has been creating resilience and improving communication.

“There are times when my kiddos feel uncertain and upset; they want to see their friends. The lack of social interaction has created frustration, but in that space, they’re also learning to get creative and sit in situations that are not ideal. They’re learning patience.”

t’s officially “spooky season,” though this year’s festivities will undoubtedly look a little different. Halloween itself might not be canceled, but classic door-to-door trick-or-treating is being shunned by many, as handing out candy to strangers has rapidly transformed from a time-worn tradition to a purported health hazard. Local parents and businesses are adapting, bringing Halloween to their young ones while keeping risk low.

The Downtown Bend Business Association is also adapting, publicly denouncing traditional festivities while encouraging flexibility and adaptation.

Normally, the DBBA hosts a downtown event filled with costumed kids, trick-or-treating and a large scavenger hunt that includes many local businesses. Rather than throw up their hands

What’s Cookin’ In Sunriver?

Sunriver welcomes a new upscale, family-friendly pizza joint, slated to open around Thanksgiving

Let’s Hear It for the Fungi This year’s Fungi Fest includes a place to pick up all the fresh mushroom goodness for your kitchen

The Fold will feature as many locally sourced, organic ingredients as possible.

A

lready home to numerous bars, breweries and restaurants, Sunriver has no shortage of options when it comes to settling on a place to dine out. According to Lauren Copelan, however, the quaint town is missing something—and she’s fully prepared to bridge the gap.

“There aren’t really any late-night restaurants,” Copelan said in an interview with the Source. “There’s nowhere for restaurant employees to grab a nice meal and a beer after a long shift. So our restaurant, The Fold, is going to cater to those needs. We’ll be open from 11am to midnight seven days a week.”

The Fold, a farm-to-table, scratch kitchen pizza restaurant, is taking over the space that Ponderosa Pizza inhabited until three years ago. “The building came with two giant pizza ovens,” Copelan explained. “Our concept is upscale pizza, highlighting these ovens and utilizing locally sourced produce and the abundance of incredible seafood that the Pacific Northwest has to offer.”

Copelan plans a full bar with local wine,

craft beer and cocktails. The restaurant will be upscale and family-friendly, with a nice big patio and outdoor dining area. With late night to-go and delivery options being a big need in the community, Copelan aims to also fill that role.

Copelan and her twin sister, Lisa Cassity, are no strangers to the food service industry. “We own two restaurants and a bar in California,” she explained.

“Our restaurants are very farm-to-table style, and we source as much local and organic produce and meat as possible. We’ve been operating those for seven years. Both my sister and I have been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years, doing everything from scrubbing toilets and hostessing to managing staff members and running the business side of things. Opening a restaurant was always a pipe dream of ours.”

Copelan noted that moving to Central Oregon had long been a dream of her and her husband’s. “My family has had a home in Bend since the ‘80s,” she said. “When this opportunity came up in Sunriver we jumped on it. We

found the property in February, did a full walk-through in July and decided to move forward. October 1 was our official move-in date, and we’re now in the demolition and construction phase. We’re giving the entire building a facelift.”

Copelan added that while COVID-related guidelines had not negatively affected the process so far, the risk involved in opening a restaurant in the midst of a pandemic certainly looms.

“Opening a restaurant right now is a little bit scary,” she said. “Things aren’t business as usual. Seasonal events that bring in large crowds, like the Tree Lighting Ceremony, won’t be happening. I’m curious to see whether or not there will be as much of a pull. But our goal is to be viewed as a year-round restaurant and a staple of the community. Things are definitely uncertain, so it’s important to stay flexible and be able to pivot on a day-to-day basis. You just do what you gotta do.”

The Fold is slated to open during Thanksgiving week.

How about we all give a shout-out for one fun-gi? Sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves. This week is a big one for local mycologists and your garden variety mushroom lovers, as the Fungi Fest kicks off at Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory, in partnership with the Central Oregon Mushroom Club.

As is the norm, rather than the rule this year, the event is taking on a modified form in the midst of the pandemic—but those looking to gain knowledge or simply revel in the delights of freshly harvested mushrooms will have plenty of look forward to this month.

For those looking to stock up on mushrooms and other goodies, the Mushroom Marketplace takes place Saturday, Oct. 10, featuring fresh and farmed mushrooms, as well as other mushroom goods.

Mushroom artwork, anyone? It’s there.

To help manage crowds, SNCO is highly recommending people buy a $5 ticket in advance, and will give people a set time to walk through the marketplace; walk-ups will only be allowed if there’s space available that day.

For those looking to expand their culinary horizons, the “Mushrooms of the Lanna Kingdom” virtual lecture on Thursday, Oct. 8, featuring Chef Zachary Mazi, will explore the culture of foraging and cooking with mushrooms in Northern Thailand.

Also happening this year are a number of mushroom identification workshops online, as well as a lecture titled, “Psilocybin and Its Use in Therapy,” which will educate people about Oregon’s Measure 109 and the benefits of mushrooms in a therapeutic setting.

Lots more information about Fungi Fest is available on its website.

SCREEN BendFilm: Make Your Own Schedule Bend’s local film critic offers his choices from this year’s Fest

By Jared Rasic 23 Courtesy of BendFilm

“Cholitas” is simultaneously a great social documentary and an intensely powerful mountain climbing film. It focuses on a group of six indigenous Bolivian women who set off to climb Mount Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Americas. A jaw dropper.

“Freeland” - Haunting and elegiac, “Freeland” tells the heartbreaking story of a Humboldt County pot farmer whose illegal operation comes crashing into mass decriminalization. This also has another absolutely astonishing performance from Krisha Fairchild who, after this and Trey Edward Shults’ 2015 masterpiece “Krisha,” is becoming an astounding new voice in cinema.

“Sapelo” - Filled with beautiful cinematography and potent observations of life, “Sapelo” is a fascinating cultural documentary about the last community of the Saltwater Geechee African-American people on Sapelo Island off the Atlantic coast. A singular look at a vanishing community, this film feels like early David Gordon Green meets late Werner Herzog. Unforgettable.

“I Will Make You Mine” - A deeply sad and romantic dramedy about music and death and the exploration of how we let go and move on with life. Told from the perspective of Asian-American women, it’s an original and lovely film brimming with moments of such lovely grace that I’m now a lifelong fan of writer/director Lynn Chen.

“The Younger and the Last of the Vengeants” - A group of teenagers start a wizardry and alchemy business. An

The black and white beauty of “I Will Make You Mine.”

oddball delight that feels like “Napoleon Dynamite” by way of a grimy DIY aesthetic. Excellent animation, art and design, this is pure imagination at work from first time filmmaker Eliab Rice— from straight outta Prineville.

“With Spirit” - A deeply personal and exhilarating documentary about endurance athlete Chelsey Magness from Team Bend Racing, who lost one of her twins during birth and cathartically goes on the Patagonian Expedition Race with her husband. Check out

Isaac Biehl’s coverage of the film in this issue’s Outside story on page 25.

“Woman of the Photographs” - A Japanese psychological drama about a beautiful Instagram influencer and a quiet and reserved photo editor who strike up an unlikely relationship. It’s like if Ozu and Miike made a movie together: measured pacing meets disturbing plot developments. Can’t get this one out of my head.

T

his might be completely selfish of me, but I’m pretty glad BendFilm Festival is virtual this year. For one, I’m happy that festival Executive Director Todd Looby and company are doing everything they can to keep us film nerds safe and, two, because I’ve been sick for the last two weeks and I’m lucky that I was able to watch several of the movies screening at the festival from home.

As of this writing, I’m waiting for my COVID-19 test results to come back. I celebrated my nervousness and anxiety by watching a bunch of movies that are playing at this year’s fest. Here are a few I really liked.

“Fully Realized Humans” - Directed, starring, produced, edited and co-written by Joshua Leonard from “The Blair Witch Project,” this is an honest, funny and brutally beautiful look at expectant parenthood and the baggage we carry with us through life.

I laughed and cried, sometimes within the space of a single scene. Legit kind of a perfect movie.

“Milkwater” - Quirky, uncomfortable, charming and packed with bittersweet beauty, “Milkwater” should be an unqualified explosion for writer/director Morgan Ingari and star Molly Bernard. A single straight woman in minor crisis rashly decides to be a surrogate for an older gay man and some fairly profound hijinks ensue. I’m very in love with this movie.

“Cholitas”- Pure bottled empathy with stunning cinematography,

“With Spirit” Debuts at BendFilm

GO HERE

By Nicole Vulcan

Courtesy Teton Gravity Research

Following locals Chelsey and Jason Magness, the film tells a story of love, loss and life through the lens of adventure racing

Scott Almendinger McGrath

L

ocal adventure racers Chelsey and Jason Magness have been at the sport for quite some time now. They founded and currently direct Bend Racing together, competing in some of the toughest races all over the world. For Chelsey, her relationship with the sport started when Jason asked her to run one on the couple’s fourth date.

“We actually won it! That’s what made him want to marry me and keep me on the team,” laughs Chelsey. “And I found out I was actually pretty competitive. So that’s kind of how I knew it was my sport.”

Now, a documentary focused on how Chelsey and Jason’s lives are intertwined with the sport will be shown virtually at BendFilm Festival from Oct. 8-25.

Titled “With Spirit,” and directed by Scott Almendinger McGrath, the film follows Chelsey and Jason in the aftermath of losing one of their twin boys, Spirit B, while highlighting the couple’s journey as they get back into the racing world. And in a way—how they reconnected with life.

“It was really moving and healing for me to talk about it out loud to the camera. Knowing it was going to be a documentary, and then seeing the documentary for the first time was really moving,” says Chelsey. “Just for me being able to let go of a piece of the grief was nice. It’s always going to be a part of me, but I’m grateful for the change it’s made me go through. I was really honored Scott decided to share my story.”

Chelsey says she’s especially grateful for this opportunity because child-loss

is something not always talked about very openly, and she knows there are many other couples who have gone through the same experience “With Spirit” shows the couple and Bend Racing taking on the Patagonia Expedition Challenge in 2018 for the sixth time—the couple’s first race following the passing of Spirit B. The first time the couple raced it together, Jason actually proposed to Chelsey. The third time, the couple decided they wanted to have kids while standing under a rainbow. This race and place was already special to them, and their fondness for it grew even more.

“I think Jason and I actually knew we were going to have a good chance of winning in 2018. It was super cool to go Scott Almendinger McGrath

in with that much confidence and then follow through with a plan,” Chelsey recalls. “It’s a really special place. It’s a place where— it’s so raw. All the elements. There’s no distractions. You don’t see anybody for days when you’re racing there.”

One thing that “With Spirit” captures is how well adventure racing represents life. Sometimes there are mountains you need to go over, and sometimes you have to just stop, sleep and reset everything. It’s also a testament to learning how to trust people and being able to rely on others.

“It’s such a huge metaphor for life.

It’s taught me so much about myself.

It’s constantly shifting.”

Watching “With Spirit” is a moving story about family, life, love and loss.

Audiences are likely to cry, but also smile. It teaches viewers how to find the light in darker times and continue to push forward. It’s very similar to a Bend Racing rule that Chelsey tells me about: “If a person wants to quit, they have to say it out loud,” she says. “From there they have 24 hours. If they still feel like quitting 24 hours later, then OK. But if at any point they are smiling or laughing, the time resets.”

Sometimes life makes us want to quit trying all together. But it’s the little moments in between that make us keep walking forward. “With Spirit” is a beautiful display of those moments.

Bend Racing looks on as they continue to race ahead in Patagonia.

The action sports media company, Teton Gravity Research, is marking its 25th anniversary this year—and with that, it’s putting out a new film. “Make Believe” already screened once during a sold-out show at the Tower Theatre Oct. 3, but those who missed it have another chance Oct. 9.

The film celebrates the athletes who have “committed to a long relationship with the outdoors, the ones who have fallen deeply in love with the mountain life, the people who have chosen to live their lives in a particular way, from inception to reality, the ones who choose to make and believe in their dreams,” according to the film’s promoters. Among those featured in the film is Oregon freeskier Sammy Carlson.

Easy Fall Maintenance Checklist

Is your home ready for a season change?

Protect Landscape Irrigation Leaves turning colors and falling off trees are indications that it’s time to have your irrigation system winterized.

Sprinklers are not buried far enough to avoid freezing in the winter, and if they freeze while full of water, they break.

Water must be forced out with air pressure. It’s highly recommended to hire a professional landscaping company to perform this task, but schedule a spot now, as they get very busy this time of year. Don’t forget to drain, disconnect and store garden hoses as well.

Service the Furnace Fall, especially after the smoke-filled skies recently, is a good time to have an HVAC company inspect, clean and change air filters. This keeps energy costs down while extending the life of the system and helps to improve indoor air quality.

Seal the Cracks Air leaks near doors, windows and other openings account for a high percentage of heating costs due to a loss of

warm air. Seal these areas with weather stripping or caulk, which will leave the home feeling more comfortable and reduce heating costs.

Clean Gutters Gutters can become filled with dirt, leaves and other debris, limiting water flow. Standing water is an indication that gutters may not be sloped properly. A pro can help ensure the gutters are sloped properly and are clear to keep water running off of the roof and away from the home.

Ice Dam Prevention For those new to colder climates, here’s a quick explanation of ice dams and how to deal with them. Ice dams form on snow-covered roofs during freezing and thawing cycles. Warm air escaping from inside the home moves through the attic, heats the roof and melts the snow from below. This melted snow, or now water, flows down the roof under the snow pack, until it reaches the eaves that are freezing in temperature and causes the water to freeze. This creates a literal dam of ice which allows water behind it to pool up over the heated attic space.

Standing water on top of the roof finds its way into the home, damaging walls, ceilings and insulation, and can cause many thousands of dollars in repairs. A professional can help add insulation, seal warm air leaks and create proper ventilation in your home—all maintenance items that can prevent ice dams. Regularly removing all of the snow from the roof will also prevent the ice dams, as well.

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS What An Earl Wants

This new guy I’ve been dating said he wants to keep things casual. I’m bummed because I’ve caught some pretty intense feelings for him. Is it possible he just needs to get to know me better and once he does, he’ll feel differently?

—Wishful Pursuing a relationship with this guy is like sentencing yourself to live out the rest of your days stuck in that “distracted boyfriend” meme.

Understanding your situation starts with a peek into book publishing. Unbeknownst to most people, the most profitable area in publishing is the romance and erotica genre. Most romance novels have pretty much the same theme: a high-status man, often wildly wealthy, who has shown he can’t be tamed but who, nevertheless, eventually is -- by the irresistible beauty and specialness of one particular woman.

This genre is literary catnip for the ladies, earning $1.5 billion in 2015, while the next best-earning book genre, mystery and crime, brought in a measly $730 million.

It turns out art reflects life -- or rather, how women wish their romantic lives would play out. Evolutionary psychologist Catherine Salmon explains that, in romance novels, “in the end, the heroine is typically the one in control,” while the hero is “a slave to his passion/love for her.” She references romance novel bloggers Sarah Wendell and Candy Tan, who, hilariously, refer to the heroine’s hold over the hero as the power of the “magic hoo hoo.” Once the hero has this particular hoo, “he desires no other,” writes Salmon. Or, as some researchers put it, a “dad” is being molded out of the ashes of a confirmed “cad.”

Salmon explains that women’s longing to be irresistibly desired emerges from evolution’s effect on female emotions, pushing women -- who, unlike men, can get pregnant from sex -- to be commitment-centric. This “female desire to be irresistible” is ultimately a desire by a woman “to be secure in the belief that her choice of mate is the right one and that he will never stray.” As for the power and prevalence of this desire, Salmon notes previous research finds that more than half of female sexual fantasies revolve around “the desire to be sexually irresistible,” and this desire seems to be “at the heart of the bodice-ripper style of romance and fantasies of submission.”

Now, it’s within the realm of possibility that this guy only thinks he wants to keep it casual, and he’ll come around and become your Mr. One And Only.

Research suggests men can sometimes

be triggered into committing when they sense they have competition, like through your dating other guys. It’s likewise possible this wouldn’t change anything; he might simply be in the thick of his sexual safari years. So, applying the old 80/20 equation to your situation, 80 percent of success in love is showing up; however, the other 20 percent is making sure you aren’t showing up to hookup hell in a wedding dress.

Ex To Grind I’m seeing this new guy, but his ex-girlfriend is absolutely awful: rude, unfriendly, and less-than-intelligent. It makes me question his judgment. If he’s interestAmy Alkon ed in a girl like that, I’m not sure I want to be with him.

—Legitimate Fear?

Really good sex can keep a man from seeing the romantic hellshow he’s in, especially when the thinking cap he automatically reaches for comes from a small square package marked “Trojan.”

We assume someone’s romantic partners are a result of carefully reasoned choices. In fact, many people meet someone, have sex with them, want more sex, and end up in a relationship -- totally bypassing any assessment of whether this might be a ruinous idea. Eventually, the initial hot-sex fog recedes a little, and their partner’s terrible qualities become increasingly apparent. Time to break up, right? Well, there’s a problem.

Psychologist Daniel Kahneman explains that we tend to be “loss aversive”: deeply disturbed by potential losses (more than we’re excited by possible gains). We often succumb to the “sunk cost fallacy”: irrationally deciding to continue investing time, money, and/or energy in what we know is a losing gambit, based on the investment we’ve already made (that is, “sunk” into it in the past). However, that prior investment is gone. The rational approach is seeing whether future investment would pay off sufficiently and, if not, cutting our losses (perhaps while waving a forlorn goodbye to all the days, months, or -- gulp! -- years we wasted).

To determine how active a role your man’s judgment played in his previous entanglement, ask him about what he values, in general and in a partner, and then ask what draws him to you. You should see whether he’s with you for reasons you respect or whether you’re just a random variation on the nasty, kitten-eating sexbots of what might be called “Cinder” (Tinder when a guy’s penis repeatedly picks emotional arsonists who’ll burn his mental wellness to the ground).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You Sagittarians periodically go through phases when you specialize in stirring up fresh intuitions. I mean, you’re always one of the zodiac’s Intuition Champions, but during these special times, your flow becomes an overflow. You have a knack for seeking and finding visions of the interesting future; you get excited by possibilities that are on the frontiers of your confidence. From what I can tell, your life in recent weeks has been bringing you these delights—and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Take maximum advantage. Aggressively gather in the gifts being offered by your inner teacher.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Calling on my expert knowledge of healing language and imaginative psychology, I have formulated a mantra for you to use in the next six weeks. I suggest you say it five times after you wake up, and again at midday, and before dinner, and before sleep. It should help keep you intimately aligned with the dynamic groove that the cosmos will be conspiring to provide for you. For best results, picture yourself as glowing inside with the qualities named in the mantra. Here it is: StrongBrightFree ClearBoldBrisk DeepNimbleKind AdroitSteadyWarm.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles features displays that extol the musicians who’ve won Grammy Awards over the years. A few years ago, a distinctly unfamous musician named Paz Dylan made professional-looking fake posters touting his own magnificent accomplishments, and managed to sneakily hang them on the museum walls. They remained there for a month before anyone noticed. I’m going to encourage you to engage in similar gamesmanship in the coming weeks, Aquarius. It’ll be a favorable time to use ingenuity and unconventional approaches to boost your confidence and enhance your reputation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Relationships never stop being a work in progress,” writes author Nora Roberts. That’s bad news and good news. It’s bad news because even for the most loving bond, you must tirelessly persist in the challenging task of reinventing the ways the two of you fit together. It’s good news because few activities can make you more emotionally intelligent and soulfully wise than continually reinventing the ways the two of you fit together. I bring these

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to my reading of the astrological potentials, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to take a vacation in reverse. What’s that? It’s when you devote yourself to renewing and reinvigorating your relationship with the work you love. You intensify your excitement for the vocation or job or long-term quest that teaches you important life lessons. You apply yourself with sublime enthusiasm to honing the discipline you need to fulfill the assignments you came to earth to accomplish.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “If you are not having fun you are doing something wrong,” said comedian Groucho Marx. He was exaggerating so as to drive home his humorous point, but his idea contains some truth—and will be especially applicable to you in the immediate future. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you have a temporary exemption from feeling frantically dour and unpleasantly dutiful. As crazy as the world is right now, you have a cosmic mandate to enjoy more playtime and amusement than usual. The rest of us are depending on you to provide us with doses of casual cheer.

group Run-DMC was the first to achieve a gold record in their genre, meaning they sold more than 500,000 albums. Their next album sold over a million. They were pioneers. In 1986, legendary producer Rick Rubin encouraged them to do a remake of “Walk This Way,” a song by the hard rock band Aerosomith. The members of Run-DMC didn’t want to do it; they felt the tune was in a genre too unlike their own. But Rubin eventually convinced them, and the cross-pollination was phenomenally successful. The Run-DMC-meets-Aerosmith collaboration launched a new genre that sold very well.

The song was later voted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In this spirit, and in accordance with current cosmic rhythms, I urge you to try a bold hybrid or two yourself, Scorpio: blends of elements or influences that may seem a bit improbable.

They could ultimately yield big dividends.

is someone who takes care of herself,” says actress Susan Clark. I heartily agree. The people with whom you can cultivate the most resilient bonds and most interesting synergy are those who have a high degree of self-sufficiency—those who take rigorous responsibility for themselves and treat themselves with tender compassion. In the coming weeks, Aries, I think it’s especially important for you to emphasize relationships with allies who fit that description.

Bonus! Their exemplary self-care will influence you to vigorously attend to your own self-care.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark,” writes Cancerian author Rebecca Solnit, adding, “That’s where the most important things come from.” I think this is good advice for you in the coming weeks. What exactly does it mean? How and why should you do what she advises? My first suggestion is to reframe your conception of the unknown and the dark. Imagine them as the source of everything new; as the place from which the future comes; as the origin of creative changes. Then instruct your imagination to be adventurous as it explores brewing possibilities in the dark and the unknown.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If something comes to life in others because of you, then you have made an approach to immortality,” wrote author Norman Cousins. Whether or not you believe the “immortality” part of his formulation, I’m sure you understand how fabulous it is when you help activate beauty and vitality in someone. You may even feel that inspiring people to unleash their dormant potential is one of the most noble pleasures possible. I bring these thoughts to your attention, Leo, because I suspect that you now have exceptional power to perform services like these for your allies, friends, and loved ones. I dare you to make it one of your top priorities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “The messiah will come when we don’t need him any more,” said author Franz Kafka. In that spirit, and in alignment with current astrological omens, I will tell you that the precise help you wish you could attract into your life will show up as soon as you make initial efforts to provide that help to yourself. Here are some additional nuances: The gift or blessing you think you need most will be offered to you by fate once you begin giving that gift or blessing to yourself. A rescuer will arrive not too long after you take steps to rescue yourself. You’ll finally figure out how to make practical use of a key lesson as you’re teaching that lesson to someone you care for.

la K. Le Guin said that we don’t just naturally know how to create our destinies. It takes research and hard work. “All of us have to learn how to invent our lives, make them up, imagine them,” she wrote.

“We need to be taught these skills; we need guides to show us how. If we don’t, our lives get made up for us by other people.” I bring this to your attention, Libra, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to upgrade and refine your mastery of these essential powers.

Beer Pack to Benefit Fire Victims Deschutes Brewery spearheads a collaboration 12-pack that raises funds for fire relief

he skies may have largely cleared of smoke in Central Oregon—but elsewhere in the state, the damage and the effects of the recent (and ongoing) wildfires around the state will be felt for quite some time. To help out, many of Central Oregon’s beer people are looking for ways to help. For Deschutes Brewery and a host of partners around the state, that’s taking a number of forms— including the formation of a collaboration 12-pack.

Deschutes Brewery is working together with a host of other breweries around Oregon to release a “Forged Together Oregon” variety pack, with 100% of the proceeds going to support wildfire relief efforts.

“Oregon is strong and resilient, and we are forging together as an industry for our community in this collaboration for our beautiful state,” stated Michael LaLonde, CEO of Deschutes Brewery, in a press release.

Thus far, Central Oregon breweries taking part include Cascade Lakes Brewing, Immersion Brewing, Sunriver Brewing, Wild Ride Brewing and Worthy Brewing—along with breweries elsewhere in the state that include McMinnville’s Golden Valley Brewing, Salem’s Ratchet Brewery, Portland’s Ecliptic Brewing and Hopworks Urban Brewery, Astoria’s Bouy Beer Company and Hood River’s pFriem Family Brewers. Each brewery will select a beer to add to the pack.

“All of the participating breweries are donating amazing beers,” Erin Rankin, marketing communications specialist for Deschutes Brewery, told the Source. “There will be a good mix of IPAs, a session ale and a winter ale.”

The “Forged Together Oregon” variety pack will be available at Deschutes’ Bend and Portland pubs, as well as the tasting room on Simpson Avenue in Bend. In addition, the brewery hopes to make the pack available on its website and available for pickup, too. The beers should be available by the end of October, Rankin said.

Deschutes Brewery’s team stepped up in a number of ways to help in the wake of the deadly wildfires that raged through Oregon in recent weeks. The brewery donated 5,700 cases of canned water to firefighters working the Holiday Farm Fire in the McKenzie River area, as well as to the Red Cross in Salem, to Family Kitchen in Bend and to people on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation.

The downtown Bend brew pub has also cooked meals for 150 displaced people, by way of the Salvation Army Bend Corps. And with people still battling some of the biggest blazes in the state—many which have yet to be fully contained—Deschutes Brewery is inviting firefighters in to its Portland and Bend pubs “for some much needed R&R and to show appreciation for protecting the Pacific Northwest community.”
