EDITOR’S NOTE:

When people from outside Central Oregon ask me to describe the area, usually just one word comes to mind: Growth. It factors into nearly every aspect of our lives—from housing to schools to road maintenance. Growth factors into a number of stories this week, from the news story on the homeowners concerned about shooting close to their growing community, to the story on the detritus left behind by ever-increasing numbers of Deschutes River users. In fact, I challenge you to find a local story in this issue that doesn’t touch upon growth and change in some way. Thanks for reading!

OPINION

E-Bikes on Trails: Expect Confusion Ahead

T

he last time you hiked or biked on a trail you didn’t know so well, did you take note of the land management agency in charge of it? If you’re like a lot of people, you probably didn’t. Even if that trail required a day permit or some type of parking pass, you may have simply paid and moved on.

But a recent change for lands managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior means, for some types of cyclists, you’re going to need to start paying closer attention.

On Aug. 29, Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt issued a rule change that allows Class I, II and III e-bikes on trails within Interior lands—which includes the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Reclamation.

The rule change does not apply to lands managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture—which includes the U.S. Forest Service.

As before, e-bike riders can still ride on forest roads and other places where motorized vehicles are allowed on Forest Service lands.

Take a quick inventory of the single-track trails you’ve ridden recently in Central Oregon. Were they BLM- or Forest Service-managed? If you’re not sure, you’ve just identified the area of concern here: With two different federal agencies offering two different sets of rules around e-bikes on dedicated trails, there’s going to be plenty of confusion ahead.

If conflicts and tempers were already high between e-bikers and other riders, expect those to increase. The topic of e-bikes is a contentious one, even among some dedicated trail enthusiasts in the community. As Brennan Morrow, president of the Madras chapter of Central Oregon Trail Alliance explained, COTA’s members are fairly divided among the pro and anti-e-bike camps. Even Morrow, who’s been instrumental in building Madras’ East Trails Project—built with longer sight lines and other features to allow for e-bikes— told the Source Weekly he can see the pros and cons. (To be clear though, COTA Chair Bruce Schroeder underlined that COTA's approach as an organization is to follow what land managers dictate.)

Allowing e-bikes on trails opens up recreational opportunities for disabled or elderly riders, or those who may not otherwise be able to access certain sites. It also opens up potential for more crashes, when riders who have historically climbed at low speed up steep inclines are now able to go faster. It means more people on the trails—which is both a pro and a con, depending on how territorial you are about other people using public lands at the same time as you are. There’s also debate about whether higher-speed bikes do more damage to trails. And there’s the question of how much industry influence factored into the decision— nonetheless an interesting one coming from Bernhardt, a former oil industry lobbyist.

At the Prineville District Office of the BLM, they’re taking a wait-and-see approach, waiting for further direction from higher-ups before they embark upon any education campaigns or take other action based on the rule change. COTA already puts “no e-bike” stickers and signs on trails where they're not allowed, and its members have already notified the Trailforks app about which trails are now e-bike approved in Central Oregon, Morrow said. As is always the case, responsible recreationalists will now likely pay closer attention to where they can go and what they can do—in the same way they’ve already educated themselves in how to yield to other riders, hikers or equestrians, what to do when trails are muddy and what emergency preparation steps they should be taking before their ride.

For those not yet in the know or those less concerned, it’s going to require more education on the part of the community. It’s up to agencies including the BLM and the Forest Service to educate the public, and to partner with others to share the message about what’s allowed. By a quick count, BLM trails represent less than 10% of the trails maintained

by COTA in Central Oregon—with the lion’s share being on Forest Service land. Whether you’re a bike purist who’s lamented developments such as disc brakes and 29-inch wheels, or you’re the early adopter who embraces change, this is a moment to help dispel confusion and ensure a safe ride for everyone.

RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS VERSUS ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC Dear people at The Source: Here is a concept that demolishes the argument of the NRA faction about right to bear arms. The right to keep and bear arms applies only to Americans willing to defend our democracy.

When anyone, foreign or domestic, seeks to destroy our democracy, they lose status as citizens of the United States of America and forfeit the right to keep and bear arms. In fact, they lose all rights.

I have heard certain people who have firearms state that if government is given the power to declare any person they choose as “mentally unbalanced,” that the government would then sweep in and start grabbing all the guns from everybody.

Let the “government” try that and you will find me alongside those people afraid of “government takeover,” for that would clearly be a situation where people in federal government were then a domestic enemy of our democracy.

Also, DJT is not worthy of mention every time he farts.

DHS CASEWORKER APPRECIATION

September 9-13 has been designated National Child Welfare Worker Appreciation Week. In Central Oregon, volunteers of the Citizen Review Boards (part of the judicial system) ask that you join us in offering extra special appreciation for Oregon’s Department of Human Services Caseworkers.

Caseworkers are assigned when children are in the custody of DHS. Their charge is to make sure Oregon laws and guidelines are followed as they work with the family. They meet with children, parents, foster parents, CASAs, medical and other service providers, school personnel,

attorneys, Citizen Review Boards and judges. Their caseloads are heavy; many variables result in unpredictable situations and often lead to crisis; staffing is such that the notion of “finishing my work for the day” is an impossibility; criticism frequently occurs from all directions— and often that criticism is very public.

During this Appreciation Week, we’d like to say to our DHS Caseworkers: “Hats Off! Cheers! Thank you! You are the hands and feet of our community as you work to help children and families in Central Oregon. We sincerely appreciate all you do.”

—Marcia Houston

Letter of the Week:

Marcia—thanks for the suggestion. Come on in for your gift card to Palate—which could be a good thing to pass on to your favorite caseworker...

Hunting Near Homes Rattles Residents

Deschutes County

Group seeks Deschutes County change to hunting carve-outs

7

By Hilary Corrigan Dixon planned to raise the issue with the association’s board that would consider whether to take any stance on it.

Safety concerns At the meeting last month, physician John Stassen told commissioners that he was raised in South Dakota and grew up hunting, but was surprised at the amount of gun activity near homes in his Water Wonderland community.

“It’s a safety concern for my children,” Stassen said.

Kermit Williams lives just north of South Century Drive in River Meadows and regularly walks the path from Big River Campground to Forest Lane with his dog. He noted beer cans, shot-up signs and abandoned blinds.

“I’m always afraid of my dog getting shot,” Williams said.

Water Wonderland resident Kate Jones pointed to various federal, state and county agencies that she said have long evaded or delayed the group’s requests.

“Sort of a pat-on-the-head attitude,” Jones said of responses the group has gotten. “I expect better of our officials and agency representatives.”

But the county can’t take away hunting that a federal agency allows on federal land, said Dave Doyle, Deschutes County legal counsel.

“Maybe there’s a political fix,” or an administrative one, Doyle said, but there’s no legal fix the county can do. “It’s federally owned land that allows hunting.”

Commissioner Patti Adair offered to bring the issue up with the office of U.S. Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon.

Commissioner Phil Henderson noted that the county often works with the Forest Service on issues and that the county represents the neighborhood residents as well as hunters.

“I am a hunter,” Henderson said. “I understand the conflict myself.”

A Deschutes County map shows the no-shooting areas along the Deschutes River between Sunriver and La Pine State Park. It also shows the two small areas shaded in brown between river mile posts 200 and 201— federal land where shooting is allowed during waterfowl season.

Commissioner Anthony DeBone wondered whether the group had researched the county’s authority to set a non-shooting zone on Forest Service land.

“We have tried now for years,” Gothe said.

“Even if we 100 percent agree with you, there’s not a single thing we can do legally,” Doyle said of the group.

The county’s process to create a no-shoot zone involves a petition signed by the property owner—in this case, requiring consent from the federal government.

No county legal fix State law pre-empts local jurisdictions from regulating the discharge of firearms.

But not Deschutes County. That’s because Deschutes County already had an ordinance in place so it could set no-shoot zones— before the state declared its pre-emption in the 1990s in an effort to avoid a patchwork of rules, Doyle explained this month. At the county’s request, the state Legislature then grandfathered in the county’s existing ability to create no-shoot zones, according to Doyle. The county still has the ability to create them, but not on federal land or inside incorporated areas.

“I certainly understand their frustration,” he said of the residents, pointing to the no-shoot zones just above and below the small segments. “It’s carved out because the federal government owns it and we can’t impose our laws on the federal government.”

The residents make a pretty good argument about the growing amount of housing in that area—often a reason for setting a no-shoot zone, he added.

A closer look?

The Forest Service knows about the issue and has checked to see that hunters there behave legally, said Kevin Larkin, Bend-Fort Rock District ranger at Deschutes National Forest. Mostly, they do, he said. But the Forest Service is open to discussion of shooting closures and Larkin noted other such closures along the river.

He also noted that hunting at the site is a legitimate and legal use of Forest Service public lands. And he pointed to the passage this year of the Dingell Act, addressing management of natural resources on federal lands. It emphasizes the importance of hunting and recreational shooting as legal, acceptable uses of public lands, Larkin said, and that sets a different context for the agency’s approach to any discussions.

Larkin said he knows of no threshold or objective metric or standard for gauging whether to close an area to shooting.

“It’s certainly something that warrants a closer look at the very least,” Larkin said of the case. “It is one of many places that we need to give some attention.”

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 37 / SEPTEMBER 12, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

A

stretch of the Deschutes River between Sunriver and La Pine State Park has long had shooting restrictions in place, closing hunting along the waterway that zig-zags through federal lands and housing communities.

Except for two little spots.

The segments, each less than 1 mile but close to each other on the river just south of South Century Drive, are U.S. Forest Service land and are open to shotgun use during waterfowl season. They’re also close enough to homes, roads and trails that people who live nearby say they expect problems worse than the dead birds, abandoned duck blinds, litter and loud shotgun blasts they’ve long complained about.

At an Aug. 28 meeting, a group of area residents asked the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners to end the hunting allowed in those small portions along the river between Maxwell Bridge and Forest Lane, arguing that it takes place too close to forest trails and homes.

Nearby communities have grown significantly, they said. And more people now use the trails and river year-round to kayak, paddle board, canoe, hike, run, bike, ski or snowshoe—many of them unknowingly crossing through hunting zones. The group described run-ins with hunters, saying they have intimidated residents, hit homes when shooting, showered the roof and deck of one home with birdshot, and walked onto private property to retrieve dead birds.

“Truly an accident waiting to happen,” said Karyl Gothe, who lives in Oregon Water Wonderland I and noted a public boat launch and campgrounds not far from the two spots.

Bob Dixon, the Bend chapter president of Oregon Hunters Association, said this month that he’s not familiar with the area, but knows of it as a duck hunting site and has heard of people calling state police on hunters who are legally hunting.

“Nobody’s really brought it to our attention,” he said of the residents’ call to close hunting there.

Festivals Under Fire

Bend group looks for city changes on events held downtown

By Hilary Corrigan

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / SEPTEMBER 12, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Submitted

B

end City Council members early this month shied away from limiting downtown events, a move that downtown business owners have sought in order to lessen impacts they say result from festivals and parades—including trash, noise and decreased sales. But at a Sept. 4 City Council meeting, councilors agreed to form a subcommittee to review the issue.

The Downtown Bend Business Association started looking into concerns raised by downtown business and building owners in summer 2018.

Since then, the association has surveyed business owners, proposed using nearby Troy Field for events, met with event organizers and city staff and gathered more data. Complaints from business owners include losses in sales; customers unable to pick up items such as art and furniture; the need to clean-up vomit and urine on streets and sidewalks; problems getting deliveries; and less customer parking. Events exasperate challenges that downtown business owners already face, such as rising rents and limited parking, according to Mindy Aisling, the association’s executive director.

“I don’t think there’s any bad guys here,” Aisling said at the meeting, noting Bend’s growth and calling for a discussion about the city’s downtown.

The association seeks changes to city rules on events. Proposals include charging an impact fee that event applicants would pay the association; setting stricter limits on road closures; holding pre- and post-event conferences; blocking event food and product vendors from selling within a block of a downtown business that sells the same item; and requiring event organizers to notify the association 60 days ahead of an event, with the city collecting any comments on it for discussion at the preevent meeting.

But councilors questioned the losses that the association says businesses suffer because of events. They balked at trying to require event organizers to attend association meetings or pay a fee to the association. The association’s projections assume that people at events buy nothing from businesses while they’re downtown, Councilor Gena Goodman-Campbell noted. And the association’s projections assume that people attending events don’t return, said Councilor Justin Livingston, who noted that he might see stores he’s never seen before while attending events, then return to them another time.

“It looks like they’re trying to eliminate events,” Councilor Barb Campbell said.

A past Fall Festival takes place in Bend’s downtown.

Mayor Sally Russell questioned the problem itself. Most of the events have gone on for many years, she noted, some for decades—such as the July 4th pet parade.

“The impact on the businesses hasn’t changed,” Russell said.

Aisling noted that some of the longtime downtown business owners helped start some of those events as a way to help bring people downtown in the first place.

“We no longer need these big events to bring traffic downtown,” Aisling said.

“I’m just trying to quantify and figure out what we’re trying to solve here,” Russell responded, questioning why the issue has come up now when the events’ dates and impacts have been the same for years.

Downtown business owners told the Council that events take up prime time and space during summer days just for set-up work, with noise and closed streets that make the district uninviting for visitors.

Dee Dee Cochran of downtown’s Northwest Home Interiors said she has worked downtown for 20 years and grown more frustrated with the number of events and the length of time they go on. Julia Kennedy of Red Chair Gallery said sales drop 30% on event weekends and complained that music stages set up in front of the gallery’s door. Kennedy wondered why the music stages couldn’t rotate among different spots or station in front of a business that closes earlier, such as a bank. Barrio owner Steven Draheim called for limiting the scope and duration of events.

“I would argue that downtown is the event,” Draheim said.

The city plans to review at least part of the issue again in November.

The association did not return requests for comment by press time. But an automated reply to an email last week said the organization would be slow to respond due to its work organizing its largest fundraising event of the year, the annual Bend Oktoberfest, that it describes as a party for 15,000 people held in downtown Bend.

Organizers of some of the several big annual events that take place downtown could not be reached. But Ernie Gilpin, who has served as chairman of the annual Bend Christmas Parade for 28 years, said he understands the association’s concerns if too many events too often cause downtown businesses to close or to lose sales. The volunteer-run parade is a little different than some of the larger, longer events because it only closes streets for a few hours of one day, said Gilpin. He noted how he plots the route—using downtown partly because of its square shape and its mileage—and factors in the number of entries, the weather and other considerations.

“In our case, I almost think we probably bring business down there,” Gilpin said, noting that the short event probably draws about 5,000 people and many of them may stay downtown afterward. He has never gotten feedback that the event shoudn’t take place downtown, he said.

“We pride ourselves on the biggest Christmas parade in Oregon and no one’s been able to dispute it,” Gilpin said.

Source Weekly is the sister company of Lay It Out Events that puts on several downtown events each year.

“These events are the largest community gatherings in the city,” Luke Larsen, event director for Lay It Out Events, said in a statement, referring to downtown events in Bend. “They are a vital part of a culturally vibrant society. We are looking forward to discussing how to make these events better for all stakeholders and the greater community.”

Chuck Arnold, now the economic development/urban renewal program manager for the City of Redmond, led the association starting around 2005 and recalls how some of the events came to be—as a way to help establish habits for customers to visit downtown and see what’s new, so that they might return to shops and restaurants they spot. That was part of the intent at a time when the recession had hit and the Old Mill was establishing its presence, Arnold said this week.

“Has that been over-played? Maybe it’s run its course,” Arnold said.

Or maybe there are already enough restrictions on events, he noted. All of that is a discussion for the city to have, he said.

“Hopefully they have a good, robust dialogue and get a lot of voices,” Arnold said, warning that the loudest voices shouldn’t tilt the scales. “You definitely have to make sure there’s a balanced dialogue.”

THIS STYLE ISSUE, WE

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YO U R ST Y L E A N D W H AT H AV E YO U F O U N D F R O M LO C A L S H O P S ?

You can usually find me in a mix of thrifted clothing along with some select pieces from local shops (Vanilla is a hands-down favorite!). Honestly though, most of my basics are thrift-store finds that were either perfect as-is, or that I’ve tweaked to my liking. I’m trying to live a sustainable life as much as possible, and teaching my two girls the same; from the food we consume to the items we buy to dress ourselves and our home. The clothing industry is definitely an area I want to be more mindful of. There’s a ton of waste that goes into the manufacture of new clothing, as well as unfair and unsafe labor practices; from the growing and dyeing of the fibers to the workers who cut and sew and ship the goods. I’m not perfect, not even close... but I’m definitely aiming to be a more conscientious consumer. I don’t buy many brand new things, so when I do, I want to make sure I’m really going to love them for a long time. The white coveralls (from Vanilla) you see in these pics… well, I got ‘em(!) and I’m gonna wear and love those ‘til they fall off of me! And those black slim-cut Frye harness boots (an investment I made at Hot Box Betty like eight years ago cuz I knew they were “forever boots”), same!

My low-key, modern tomboy with hints of femme style definitely crosses over into my interior design tastes, too: bold shapes, interesting textures, mostly neutrals with occasional pops of color, classic pieces with a modern edge, not too trendy, natural materials... it’s all connected!

I definitely stick to materials and silhouettes that I feel will stand the test of time. My side of the closet doesn’t have much in it, but trust that I have a stack of at least a dozen pairs of Levi’s denim in all washes and fits. Mostly vintage, with a few new ones from ju-bee-lee (my go-to for new 501s in Bend). In fact, I recently got a pair of suuuper high-waisted ones from there that will NOT be coming off my body all fall and winter long!

When it comes to jewelry, you’ll find me at opposite ends of the spectrum; I’m either wearing a tiny, minimalist earring and a barely-there necklace, or a full-on statement piece; like these bold, woven beauties from my friend Erin’s beautiful shop, Root Adorned. I love a modern, architectural vibe too, shape-wise. Frilly, feminine jewelry is not my thing.

H OW D O E S ST Y L E F I T YO U R R E L AT I O N S H I P ?

I love a nod to streetwear and I’m just learning more about that world from my very fashionable love, my guy, Shaun Juan. *insert heart eyes emoji* (and fire emoji, and drool face emoji, too, while we’re at it!). Shaun’s style is pretty casual, but even so, he’s always mindful of all the details. I appreciate that so much about him.

Picks just the right socks, beanie, glasses, sneakers! Gahhh. He definitely has a unique point of view; especially here in Bend. I mean, he does have a puffy coat (are you even a Bendite if you don’t??), but it’s an obscure Japanese brand he found at Gear Fix. He’s a layering master, not afraid of color, a sneakerhead, and a legit thriftgod. He’s all about supporting indie brands, too. Shaun has definitely inspired me a lot, in more ways than I can say here.

Sigh. We go thrifting together a few times a week; I guess you could say it’s our thing. He heads straight for the clothes, I make a beeline for the home decor section, and we meet up somewhere in the middle eventually, sharing our finds, and then continuing the hunt together. It’s a Tinder match made in heaven! He’s so kind and creative; an artist, an athlete, a sweetheart, and I’d definitely swipe right again (and again and again)!

TELL US ABOUT DIMEPIECES. Four years ago, I bought a little, late ‘60s trailer with the intention of fixing it up and using it for family fun, but also as an eventual mobile pop-up vintage/ handmade goods shop. For years I’ve been carefully collecting, making and curating a selection of vintage furniture, artwork, pottery, textiles and some clothing, too, for my little mobile shop dream. Long story short, the trailer (we named her Toasty) is now adorable, and was almost ready for her big ‘Free People’ Printed Faux Fur Coat, $398 Vanilla

debut! *Cue the sad trombone*... until she was stolen right off the street just this past July, from next to my apartment!! (Yes, it was locked. Yes, so was the hitch thing. And sadly... it was full of many of my DimePieces treasures, and some important personal items, too!!) I was very, VERY lucky to have found the trailer, but sadly, the contents are still M.I.A. I’m keeping my head up, though; hopeful that whoever has my things has an actual heart and will return them to me… no questions asked! So in the meantime, I’m working to rebuild my inventory so that DimePieces can launch in early 2020! Fingers crossed, prayers said, crystals charged.

I worked for three years doing interior design with some very badass, very talented women when I moved back home to Ashland a couple years ago. That experience, along with my lifelong love of good design and hunting for cool affordable treasures, inspired me to really, truly, finally start DimePieces when I moved back to Bend last summer. My mom has forever been encouraging me to share my passions and talents, too.

I hear you, Mom... I’m getting close! Forty-three years later, and no more time to waste. I’m more determined than ever to get Toasty in her best shape again (the thieves spray painted her ugly to disguise her appearance) and ready to roll, literally! There are some retail spots in town doing some very cool things with found and handmade objects, and I’m just excited to add DimePieces to the mix! I mean... Target has some cute shit, (clothing and decor) no lie. But it’s basically “fast fashion.” There’s no story there, no soul. Are you really gonna love that trendy faux farmhouse decor a few years from now? Trends are fleeting, while good style lasts forever. There’s a reason for all those ‘Live Love Laugh’ sign memes floating around the internet. And that whole faux Tuscan decor thing that was happening in the early 2000’s... wuuuut? Put down the sponge paint roller, Brenda! Did I just say that?? Oops, guess I did.

I could go on, but I won’t. I realize my shop won’t be for everyone.. but I hope it’ll at least inspire you to seek out things with longevity rather than things that just seem “cute” in the moment. Imagine all the polyester chevron print rugs that went to die in a landfill.. yikes. We can all be doing better… so let’s!

20th Century Country

Ken Burns’ latest docuseries takes a look back at the earlier days of country music

By Isaac Biehl Courtesy of Les Leverett Collection, Grand Ole Opry Archives

Bill Monroe on the Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, circa 1968.

“I believe that you can go look and find a country song for any mood you’re in,” says musician Charley Pride during the episode. “Any song that will help you feel better. Sometimes it might make you cry—but it’ll make you feel better.”

Other points include the story of Fiddling John Carson and the movement he helped spark with his country night dances, and his move into radio, which spread country music further than it ever had been before. The show examines how songs develop and change over time and tells us how some of country’s earliest songs were tunes from overseas rewritten to fit the times and place of America. We also learn about the importance of technology (recording studios, transportation, etc.) to country music and how it

was a crucial piece to the launch of many musicians, like The Carter Family and the initial Bristol recordings.

“The Carter family were elemental. It was the beginning of the building blocks for the rest of us,” said singer/author Roseanne Cash. “Those first recordings and songs, they were captured rather than written. They were in the hills, like rock formations.”

Throughout the premiere you get insight into what really feels like the birth of a musical genre, and that is sure to continue throughout the series.

“Country Music” is filled with so much history and perspective that even the biggest country fans are sure to learn something new in this touching and nostalgic PBS installment.

“At the heat of every great country music song is a story. As the songwriter Harlan Howard said, ‘It’s three chords and the truth,” Burns told PBS. “The common experiences and human emotions speak to each of us about love and loss, about hard times and the chance of redemption. As an art form, country music is also forever revisiting its history, sharing and updating old classics and celebrating its roots, which are, in many ways, foundational to our country itself.”

“Country Music” Premiere

Sun., Sept. 15. On OPB at 9pm Also available for streaming on all stationbranded PBS platforms or on Blu-ray and DVD.

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 37 / SEPTEMBER 12, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

he genre of country music has gone through a lot of changes since its earliest inception, growing to reach the masses. While it isn’t the most popular genre in the U.S. today, its stars are held in the highest esteem among fans—and the pioneers of country are essentially icons.

Ken Burns—whose directorial work you might recognize from series including “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea” or “Baseball,”—is about to shed a light on the story of country music with his latest PBS docuseries, “Country Music.” The eight-part series premieres on Sun., Sept. 15.

I got a sneak peek of the first episode to give you an idea of what to expect.

The first episode, titled “The Rub,” opens in Nashville, Tennessee, with singer Kathy Mattea speaking on her early days working at the Country Music Hall of Fame.

It’s fitting we begin in Nashville, as even today many aspiring musicians make their way there to get a foothold on their place in the industry. Throughout the series you’ll see a lot of country icons make appearances. The first episode alone showcased Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Kris Kristofferson and many more. These stars will continue to play roles throughout the series with commentary and interviews.

As “The Rub” continues, there’s a lot of dialogue on one of country music’s biggest qualities: relatability. There are songs for normal days, break-ups, growing through life and just about anything else. It’s here where country gets a lot of inspiration from soul or blues music.

Keith Harkin sings at The Domino Room Monday, Sept. 16.

K

eith Harkin is the type of artist whose blend of rock music is able to appease a lot of different people.

So even if you weren’t familiar with his tunes before reading this article, I’d say his show at The Domino Room is definitely worth checking out.

His latest album, “10 Years Later,” just released this month and is rather exceptional. You can basically hear how much fun Harkin is having through each song, even when he begins to get sentimental. Having been on a world

tour since January that started in Australia, Harkin is now roaming North America in his van hitting plenty of cities on the way.

Community Impact Report July 2018-June 2019

Rooted in Our Community Since our inception in Prineville 17 years ago, Mosaic Medical’s culture of care has been rooted in providing access to healthcare for those who need it the most. I am humbled daily by the dedication of our team—361 strong—toward meeting the needs of our growing community.

As I reflect on the last year, I can proudly say that we stand committed to providing quality healthcare to patients who are as unique and diverse as the tri-county region in which we live. With one in every 10 Central Oregonians (who speak over 20 distinct languages) visiting our clinics each day, it’s pivotal that we remain aware of and responsive to our patients' physical, mental and socio-cultural needs.

Mosaic Medical has 15 clinics located

As always, our services remain throughout Central Oregon, including accessible to everyone in our a Mobile Community Clinic. community, regardless of their employment or insurance status, income level, country of origin, abilities, age, gender or sexual orientation. And we are proud to offer a sliding scale program to ensure that patients are only paying what they can afford for their care.

Our team understands that there are still many barriers to care to be addressed. I can confidently say that Mosaic Medical will continue to put the patient first as we work to improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve, while staying true to our roots.

As a nonprofit organization, Mosaic Medical has continued to grow and thrive with our community. We have increased our staff from seven founding team members at our original Prineville clinic to 361 dedicated employees today, caring for our community at 15 clinics region-wide.

Patients cared for across Central Oregon

In just the last year alone, along with increasing the number of patient visits in our clinics, we have also continued to expand our service offerings: opening a family dentistry suite in our East Bend clinic, providing access to virtual visits with a psychiatrist in our Prineville clinic, and updating our processes and procedures organization-wide to create a safe place for members of our transgender population to access care.

Caring for Our Community decades. Today, she continues to live an active, healthy lifestyle and she is enjoying every day here in Central Oregon."

"As a family physician at Mosaic, I appreciate the immense value of team-based care for our patients," said Josh Reiher, MD. "I recall one patient in particular who was extremely stressed with severely elevated blood pressure, out of control diabetes, taking a large number of medications, and had chronic pain causing significant sleep deprivation."

After meeting with Dr. Reiher and additional Mosaic team members—including a community health worker, pharmacist, and nutritionist—and after attending group medical visits, the patient's health greatly improved.

700+

Patients with improved, controlled blood pressure

"Within the span of months, her blood pressure normalized, her insulin use decreased nearly 50% and we stopped two of her medications," said Dr. Reiher. "She lost many pounds so her chronic pain resolved and she felt the best she had in

Over the last 18 months, Mosaic Medical has been able to significantly increase the number of patients with controlled blood pressure by leveraging the expertise of our nutritionists, clinical pharmacists, and behavioral health consultants, all working together in partnership with our primary care providers.

Due to this team-based effort, more than 700 patients now have an improved health outlook, and a reduced risk for strokes, cardiovascular disease and other conditions associated with uncontrolled blood pressure (hypertension), one of the leading causes of death for adults above the age of 65 in the state of Oregon.

Mosaic Patients Benefit from Integrated Services At Mosaic Medical we are committed to transforming the way healthcare is delivered, and every patient is supported by a full team of professionals.

CULTURE

Welcoming Week includes events aimed at fostering inclusion among immigrants, refugees and other community members

By Nicole Vulcan Latino Community Association

ver two years ago, the Bend City Council signed a unanimous resolution declaring Bend a Welcoming City—becoming one of about 150 communities in the U.S. to join the network aimed at fostering inclusion and understanding among immigrants and refugees and the wider community. Welcoming Week, which takes place this week, include events such as a kick-off party, trainings, a celebration of the passage of HB2015— which made driver’s licenses available to all Oregonians, regardless of immigration status—and Latino Fest, a day-long celebration featuring food, music and dance, held in Madras Saturday.

Meeting elected officials Also on the schedule of events is a Monday evening bilingual meet and greet with local elected leaders, an event where Spanish interpreters will be on hand to allow local people to ask questions about local government, and to foster relationship-building. Elected officials from Bend-La Pine Schools, the Bend City Council, Deschutes County Board of Commissioners, Bend Park and Recreation District, and the offices of Rep. Cheri Helt and the offices of Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley will be there, said Joanne Mina, Latino Community Association volunteer coordinator, who organized the event.

Mina is aiming to bridge the gap between what she sees as the sentiments the Latino community has about local government, and their active participation in it.

“We want folks to be civically engaged, no matter who they are,” Mina said, underlining that as the 2020 election gets

closer, civic participation gets even more crucial. “Whether you’re participating or staying on the sidelines, we all are shaping our community right now.”

“We learned a lot from last year’s event,” said City of Bend Community Relations Manager Joshua Romero, recalling how some people came to last year’s meet and greet, asking practical questions such as, "is the water in Bend safe to drink?"

For Romero, it was an eye-opener about the needs and priorities of a segment of the local population that may not always be as vocal. Romero explained how the event spurred city staffers to begin taking a look at other processes and information they can adapt to support non-English speakers.

Becoming an ally On Wednesday, facilitators from Allyship in Action will hold Allyship

Training at Pilot Butte Middle School, exploring the history of racism and immigration in Oregon, and teaching attendees how to best support people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ individuals and other marginalized groups.

Locals LeeAnn O’Neill, Kerani Mitchell and Erin Rook launched Allyship in Action in February, as a consulting firm centered around diversity, equity and inclusion trainings. The three connected at past Welcoming Week events, where together, they observed that most local DEI trainings came from groups outside Central Oregon. They wanted to offer a local option, as well as allowing other local consultants to share Allyship in Action’s resources.

“We have more diversity in our community than a lot of people realize,” Rook, who works in educational equity

at Oregon State University-Cascades, said. “I think it’s really commonplace to talk about un-diverse or white Bend is—and certainly there are plenty of white people in Bend. But we do have significant communities… folks who are not white, not straight, not English as their first language.”

O’Neill, a bilingual family law facilitator for the Deschutes County Circuit Court, said Wednesday’s training is meaningful both personally and professionally. “As someone who has worked to increase access to justice for Spanish speakers, I know how important it is to address the inequities faced by Latinx immigrants in particular,” O’Neill stated. “Because I am adopted and speak English as my first language, I have privileges that other immigrants don’t.

I want to help others understand how they can use their privilege to support immigrants in our community, too.”

Rook said the Allyship Training event had only a handful of spots left as of press time, though they will open up a waitlist. Those interested in Allyship in Action can find more information at allyshipinaction.com City of Bend Welcoming Week

In Celebration of the Rural Artist

An artist co-working space opens in Prineville

W

alking into the storefront of Central Oregon’s newest arts co-working space, Rick Steber & Company-Makers, one is struck by its genuine, cowboy feel. Apt, given that it’s located in Prineville, a community whose historical roots are in ranching and mining. With an aesthetic dubbed, ‘industrial cowboy chic,’ work on display from 30-plus rural Oregon artists ranges from traditional leather and bead work, to artistic quilts and fine art photography, to Steber’s own collection of Western novels. The man is a prolific,

award-winning author with more than 40 titles under his belt. The space had its grand opening Sept. 7.

Steber is rightfully proud of what he and his makers have created, stating that one of the most important aspects of the co-working environment is that it has opened up opportunities to heritage

artists and created interesting and unique collaborations. Talking to studio member Mike Domeyer of Shasta Leatherworks led to a tour of the studios. Currently, four are occupied with two or three more available. Domeyer, a longtime leatherworker, is currently seeking an apprentice. When asked why, he stated that “…

it’s a lost art, a lot of the things we do here.” Passing it on is important.

It could be easy to dismiss a place resplendent in pencil drawings of cowboys and metal horse sculptures as kitsch and irrelevant, given the zeitgeist of abstraction and politicism in today’s contemporary art world, but that would be a huge mistake. The work is authentic to the lives of the people making it and holds dear themes grounded in reverence for heritage and legacy. Rick Steber & Co is providing a very important service, showcasing the art of those primarily residing in regions of Oregon that are categorically dismissed and underserved by most of the art (and other) establishments of this state. That is to say, rural Oregonians.

SOURCE SUGGESTS THESE BOOKS

By Tom Beans and Kaisha Khalifeh-Gaede, Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe “The Way Through the Woods: On Mushrooms and Mourning”

by Long Litt Woon A lovely memoir about how taking an introductory course in mushrooming opened up a delightful and fascinating world to Yoon after she unexpectedly loses her husband. A perfect read as fall approaches and a gentle reminder that even when things are their darkest, there is light (like bioluminescent mushrooms!).

As we ease into fall, check out these suggestions for reading, courtesy of Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe.

“Hungry: Eating, Road-Tripping, and Risking It All with the Greatest Chef in the World” by Jeff Gordinier Both a food and travel memoir, Gordinier chronicles a four-year friendship with Rene Redzepi, the obsessive chef of NOMA—“the greatest restaurant in the world.” A great insight into what drives a creative genius to keep pushing, keep creating and keep learning as they travel through Australia, Mexico, Copenhagen and Norway.

“Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now” by Jaron Lanier A provocative analysis by Silicon Valley insider Lanier explains the insidious business model behind social media companies that rely on data mining, spying and behavioral manipulation, and why you personally, and the world in general, will be better off without it. More than a gimmicky title, this book truly helps you understand the deeper issues at hand. At the same time, Lanier also offers a positive view of the future in which we can still have our technological cake and eat it, too.

Baked with Love

By Nicole Vulcan

A passion for baking and work-life balance inspired Farmhouse Pies

Nancy Patterson

35

By Nancy Patterson

J

ust east of Bend sits a 1970s farmhouse on a 3-acre plot, complete with chickens, horses, goats, dogs, cats, a small garden and the cottage kitchen of Annie Skelton, owner of Farmhouse Pies.

You may have noticed her brightly colored teal camper at various farmers markets around Central Oregon, where her homemade pies sell out before the markets end.

After stumbling upon Farmhouse Pies at the Downtown Bend Farmers Market, and the third attempt at getting my hands on these popular pies, Skelton invited me to her farm to see where the nostalgic baked goods are made.

Walking up to her wrought iron gate outside of her home, I’m instantly hypnotized by the aroma of freshly baked pies. Skelton’s kitchen is small and quaint but full of the charm that accompanies a 40-year-old country kitchen. She shows me around her property, introducing me to her “girls”—the three chickens who provide the home with organic eggs— goats, horses, dogs and children. The grand finale comes when I’m led to the room where it all happens: the baking area. All of the pies are prepped on her kitchen island, but kept fresh and hot in a room equipped with an industrial oven, adjacent to her cottage kitchen.

In accordance with Oregon Cottage Food Laws, the pies can be made from the kitchen in her farmhouse.

This allows for easy access to fresh rhubarb grown in the garden outside of her kitchen window and eggs from her chickens. While not all of the produce is grown on Skelton’s farm, it’s sourced organically and locally.

“We make family trips out to Kiyokawa Family Orchard in Hood River on the weekends and pick apples together,” she says. Family is paramount to Skelton, which played a major factor in her decision to start Farmhouse Pies four years ago.

A Grand Opening for 9th Street Village

Annie Skelton rolls out pie crust dough, made with a recipe passed down from her aunt.

When Skelton’s youngest child began to approach school age, she wanted to explore a business that could keep her balanced as both a mother and a wife. Having won her fair share of blue ribbons at the county fair, it only seemed appropriate to pursue a career in baking. “I brought 25 pies to my first market at the Northwest Crossing Saturday Farmers Market. I had to wear sunglasses because I was tearing up each time someone bought a pie,” she remembers. “During one of my first weeks, I had an older gentleman tell me he hadn’t had a great homemade pie since his mother passed many years ago. He patted his heart as he chose his pie. That’s when I knew I was hooked on making something that was bringing joy and nostalgia for my customers.” (Go ahead and grab a tissue, we’ll wait.)

Nancy Patterson

At each of the markets there are old favorites such as Classic Apple Pie made from Oregon and Washington-grown apples in an all-butter crust, made with Gravenstein, Pippin, Mutsu and Granny Smith variations. Berry lovers can enjoy the triple berry made with Oregon marionberries, raspberries and blueberries. Seasonal favorites include the summer fruit crisp, loaded with stone fruit, berries and apples—an appetizing personal favorite. When the leaves begin to change, specials include the bourbon pear crumble, made with two types of pears, and Buffalo Trace Bourbon. And, of course, the crowd-pleasing pumpkin maple pie, made with fresh pumpkin and swirled with a creamy maple filling.

While the farmers markets are the easiest place to find Skelton’s pies, special orders can be made at any time.

Connect with Farmhouse Pies on Facebook for up-to-date locations through Thanksgiving, including Fall Fest and the Sisters Harvest Faire.

At most markets, the Skelton family is all hands on deck. “My oldest helps fold boxes each week and rings up customers at the market. Summer is a busy season for us as a family, but they love what I do—or maybe they just love when I make an extra pie for them!” she laughs as she explains, “I love that my kids get to see me working hard and growing a business from scratch.”

A Japan-Inspired Eatery

It used to be the space housing La Magie Bakery and Cafe—but now an entirely new concept is moving in.

Chomp Chomp, as described on the space’s Instagram page, is a “neighborhood drinking house offering a seasonal menu of Japanese and American comfort food dishes intended to be shared among friends.”

Chomp Chomp released a tentative menu on its Instagram feed Monday, including fried and grilled skewers, Tonkatsu style pork chops, a Wagyu beef bowl titled “Steve’s Breakfast,” chicken bits, crispy mustard greens, and sous vide pork belly tacos. The site is currently under construction, and the menu is still getting some tinkering.

ongratulations to Spider City for winning Best Local Beer at Bend Brewfest with its Sneaky Deer!

It’s well deserved, too. It’s been a longtime favorite of mine, that’s for sure. When I heard the news that they won, I thought it would be fun to share my take on some of the Sneaky Deer varietals.

First, let me tell you about the deliciousness that is Sneaky Deer straight up. It’s a hazy double IPA. The name is perfect because it totally sneaks up on you. It’s so delicious that you want to keep drinking it. Before you know it, your glass of Sneaky Deer is gone and you’re feeling warm and fuzzy. The beer has an 8.5% ABV, so slurping it down will do that! This beer is wonderfully balanced and, while medium-bodied and juicy, is just so damn easy to drink! The smell is amazing: pineapple, citrus, hoppy goodness. Flavor wise, you’ll get citrus and bright hops. It’s tropical and delightful.

The first variety of Sneaky Deer I had was called the Aloha Deer. This dear beer (I love saying that… er, typing that) has a lovely light coconut flavor. Not like a toasted, sweet coconut, but like a hint of coconut water. The coconut can also be found in the aroma, ever so slightly. It adds a nice earthiness to the beer (dear beer) which pairs so nicely with the light bready, oatmeal aroma. The citrus on the nose just brightens the whole thing up. The mouthfeel is slightly lighter than that of the original Sneaky Deer, but somehow

it also adds a creaminess. There’s no bitterness, but ALL of the lovely hoppy flavors. Simply fantastic.

The next Deer Beer I tried was Fear the Deer, made with ghost peppers.

DON’T FREAK OUT. It’s a delicious pepper, and really has more of a tang than a venomous bite (well, in this beer anyway)! The aroma is so bright with a light green, chili-like aroma. The flavor profile includes a tangy pepper that comes through as a bright fresh green chili flavor again. I’m pretty picky about my pepper beers, and I, in no way, am about to Fear the Deer. I embrace it and want to drink it and eat tacos.

I finished with the blueberry version of this Deer Beer. This one holds my favorite beer name: Get Out of My Garden Ya Damn Sneaky Deer. I want them to create a beer label for this beer.

I would frame it and hang it in my beer room. The aroma is sweet and tangy and reminds me of blueberry pie and lemonade. It’s impossible to miss the blueberry in this one. As with all Spider City beers, this one is clean, well balanced and so very drinkable.

Moral of this story: Go drink some Deer Beer. Any Deer Beer. In fact, taste all the Deer Beers. I will be keeping an eye out on Instagram, anxiously awaiting the next version.

DAVID CROSBY: REMEMBER MY NAME: David Crosby is a legend and has had a life some of us can only dream about. He’s obviously going to be remembered. But what if this documentary is about all the drugs catching up with Crosby and he’s genuinely asking for help remembering his name? Tin Pan Theater. Sisters Movie House

Upon a Time” is a glorious cinematic treasure. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub OVERCOMER: That doesn’t really sound like a word. “Overcomer?” Is that a word? Sounds like a professional wrestler. This is from the faith-based filmmakers who brought you such hot garbage as “Fireproof,” “War Room” and “Courageous.”

Maybe they should pray for a dictionary or some filmmaking talent. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX PAVAROTTI: Even if you don’t know opera, you’ve probably heard the name Pavarotti, the most famous tenor of all time. He makes everything sound good. He’s like the Barry White of opera.

This is a documentary about his life. I bet he sings in it. Odem Theater Pub READY OR NOT: A young woman marries into the staggeringly rich Le Domas family—one with a few quirky traditions that won’t end well for anyone.

The film is ultimately a very violent game of hide and seek and easily the most entertaining horror/ comedy of the year. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

GOOD BOYS: This is basically “Superbad” but with tweens, which means the filthy language and situations are even funnier. I’ve seen some critics lamenting laughing about the corruption of kids in the film, but three 12-year-olds accidentally discovering a sex swing hits me right in the funnies.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond CInema

SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK: Based on the book of short stories that gave me nightmares for years comes this mega-disturbing horror anthology from the director of “Troll Hunter.” The trailers look atmospheric and fun, so here’s hoping 2019 brings us another horror classic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

GLORIA BELL: Julianne Moore gives one of her finest performances as a woman who finds love at a time when she was searching for anything but something serious. A surprising and heartfelt little movie. Odem Theater Pub

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME: Marvel is fairly unstoppable at this point, so this new entry in the “Spider-Man” franchise could have Peter Parker sitting on camera reading “Twilight” and it would still make a billion dollars. Plus, this movie is super fun, and Jake G. Is a national treasure. Just sayin. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HOBBS & SHAW: Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham take their characters from the “Fast and the Furious” franchise and spin them into another franchise that will then spin into another franchise until the entire world becomes an excuse for Vin Diesel to live life a quarter mile at a time. Big explosions and even bigger stupidity make this movie a fun headache. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX IT: CHAPTER TWO: While the movie is still quite fun and is filled with some bravura horror set pieces, it’s such an unwieldy mess that it’s hard to recommend.

Bill Hader should be in more horror movies though.

That guy’s got a future in the movie business. See full review on p39. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema, Odem Theater Pub LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE: It’s hard to really overestimate how influential Linda Ronstadt has been in the realm of music for over five decades. Here’s a documentary tracing her origin back to Tucson and follows her to Los Angeles and her pioneering work for women in the record industry. Sisters Movie House MAIDEN: A super badass documentary about the first all-female crew taking on a brutal 33,000mile yacht race. Even a narrative movie about this subject wouldn’t be half as intensely fascinating as this powerful and heart-racing documentary.

Don’t miss this one. Odem Theater Pub OFFICIAL SECRETS: The fascinating true story of the woman who discovered the U.S. government was blackmailing members of the United Nations Security Council into supporting an illegal war in Iraq back in 2003. Keira Knightley is brilliant, so here’s hoping she finally gets the attention she deserves. Sisters Movie House ONCE UPON A TIME…IN HOLLYWOOD: Either you like Tarantino or you don’t, and this big hearted and strange fantasy won’t change your mind. Simultaneously a love letter to 1969 Hollywood and a dirge for the loss of innocence those times stirred in us as a country, “Once

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2: I never saw the first one because it looked like pain, but with a voice cast featuring Jason Sudeikis, Danny McBride, Peter Dinklage, Awkwafina, Bill Hader and Tiffany Haddish, I should probably get over it. I just don’t like birds… even when they’re angry. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN: Based on the tear-jerking novel by Garth Stein, the film is sure to be even more tear-jerking. Told from the POV of a dog named Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner), this story will be sure to crush adults and children alike.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond CInema THE FAREWELL: A bittersweet and lovely dramedy about the lengths we go to for family and the ways different cultures say goodbye. One of the best films of the year so far and destined to go down as the funniest movie about grief ever made. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX,Odem Theater Pub THE LION KING: Look, I’m sure this movie is really pretty to look at and everything, but if it doesn’t have Jeremy Irons playing Scar, then I’m gonna make a hard pass. I’m sure I’ll see it at some point, but messing with perfection is never a good idea—even if it’s Disney messing with their own perfect ideas. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE NIGHTINGALE: From Jennifer Kent, the brilliant director of “The Babadook,” comes this brutal period piece about rape, revenge and justice. Not for the squeamish or the faint of heart, this movie is very tough to watch but ultimately very rewarding. Tin Pan Theater THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON: One of the sweetest movies ever made. The film follows a young man with Down syndrome following his dream to be a professional wrestler. Part Mark Twain and part southern gothic fairytale, “The Peanut Butter Falcon” is the textbook definition of a crowd pleaser.

Sucks SCREEN ITEvil Kinda clowns should be scarier than this

By Jared Rasic James Ransone, Jay Ryan, Isaiah Mustafa and Andy Bean are, they don’t have the same chemistry together as the kids did, leaving Chapter Two as a collection of somewhat spooky scenes that don’t feel as connected to Part One as they should.

Every time a big scary monster pops out, it’s covered in fairly poorly done CGI, making the audience marvel at the effect more than being scared by the primal horror of the situation. The scares that really pop are stolen with both hands from “Evil Dead,” John Carpenter’s “The Thing” and 2001’s “The Mummy Returns.”

“IT: Chapter Two” has such a huge budget that the filmmakers could basically take every single horror idea that inspired them, rework it to fit their own cinematic universe and then throw it at the wall to see what sticks. The film is still extremely entertaining (especially for horror movie fans), but it’s almost a joke how much of a mess the movie is at times.

Characters never act like people, some of the members of the Losers Club are basically ignored until they need to show up for story purposes and, worst of all, the film has no idea whether it wants to be a horror movie or a horror/comedy.

Man, get this clown outta my face. His breath smells like old socks and evil.

Walking along the horror/comedy line is tricky because if you lose balance then you have a film that is a tonal disaster. “IT: Chapter Two” stumbles, trips and falls over that line and then throws up over it while rolling around on the ground. Every single moment of drama or pathos the movie dredges up is ruined by an ill-timed joke that, while sometimes very funny, seem to exist just so the movie isn’t too scary for general audiences.

“IT: Chapter Two” is schizophrenic at best and just a giant ridiculous mess at worst. It’s weird that the movie almost

works in spite of itself—but that’s mostly because of director Muschietti, who has a great eye for creepy imagery and the wonderfully game cast—but Dauberman’s script is a poorly executed joke, one an evil clown wouldn’t even laugh at. Audiences will have fun watching this movie, but it could have been so much more: it could have been scary.

on’t get me wrong; most filmmakers balance along the knife’s edge of borrowing and stealing. Stealing from the best has resulted in some of the most inspired movies ever made.

We’d never have “Tree of Life” without “2001: A Space Odyssey” or “Joker” without “The King of Comedy.”

But writer Gary Dauberman and director Andy Muschietti seem to have stolen or borrowed from every horror movie they’ve ever seen for “IT: Chapter Two” without learning any lessons from them, creating a Frankenstein’s monster of a movie that’s both a derivative mess and extremely entertaining.

“Chapter Two” picks up 27 years later as members of the Losers Club, who barely have any memories of their childhood battles with the timeless evil of Pennywise, reconvene in Derry, Maine, to fight the monster one last time.

If Chapter One had flashes of the adult cast while we were spending time with the children, maybe we’d have more of a connection to their adult counterparts— but as it stands, every time Chapter Two flashes back to the kids, we have way more of an emotional response to the horror.

As good as Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader,

One Man’s Trash…

A trio of surf lovers takes river cleanup to the next level, exploring the underwater world of the Deschutes

41

Loot The Deschutes

“I

grabbed this baby head… not a real one!” says Kea Eubank as we stand at the edge of the water in Pioneer Park. Apparently that’s just how it goes when you dive under the Deschutes River; you never know what you’re going to get. Hell, the trio called @lootthedeschutes on Instagram found an actual gun the night before we met.

“We were really surprised. We thought we were going to find a gun a few times,” Miranda Campbell tells the Source Weekly. “We dive some deep spots and we ended up finding it in the shallowest area yet. It was the last thing we found!”

Made up of three friends including Eubank, Miranda Campbell and Lled Smith, Loot the Deschutes only started posting on Instagram in April (after moving on from Craigslist as their main platform), but they’ve already made an impact on plenty of lives. What do they do? Well, exactly what the name reads. The three throw on wet suits and dive underneath the water, collecting trash or possible belongings. It’s like a giant lost-andfound box—just with more water.

“We all surf the park and we’d lose our fins—I’d walk by and be like, ‘there’s sunglasses in the water!’” says Smith, who happens to be wearing a pair of fresh Deschutes-found shades.

“So, I just started snorkeling and finding sunglasses and other items.”

Campbell and Eubank used to literally swim the river instead of float it, so they just ended up bringing snorkels along, and the team was formed.

These guys are the people to reach out to if a valuable gets dropped below.

The quicker you let them know it entered the water, the better, because once it sits for a while the river can be unpredictable. Or you can check out their Instagram feed and you might find your long-lost Crocs. They find a lot of stuff; everything from phones, speakers, clothes and even wedding rings.

“My first ring was a 40th anniversary from a lady’s late husband. She’d dropped it—it had been sitting for six months. And I found it in the winter,” says Smith of the 68-diamond ring.

“She said if she ever comes back [to Bend] she’s going to buy us all pizza— all the surfers!”

Smith isn’t the only one finding rings, either.

“Mine was a girl. I think her dad gave her the ring the week that he passed away,” says Campbell.

“Forty-six years of marriage, it was their ring. It was a gold ring. It was

Bring a friend and have fun outdoors...

Outdoor City, USA

W Are you missing any of these items? They were all found in the Deschutes riverbed.

SO big–it was like three rings in one,” Eubank says of his find.

Some of the most common things the group finds are cans, bottles, keys, tube ties, sunglasses and keys. Not all of the trash is new by any means; it’s clear some of the items have been there for years. Unfortunately, this exact thing is something the Bend Park and Recreation District warns about when partaking in river recreation. Its reminders include ensuring belongings are properly secured; if you don’t need it on the river, don’t bring it. BPRD also reminds people they shouldn’t be sinking cans or bottles in the river—or even bringing glass along in the first place.

I watched the team fill up an entire tube in just a 20-minute session at Pioneer Park, with most of the findings being glass bottles. So not only are they finding people’s belongings, Loot the Deschutes is cleaning up the river and having fun while doing it.

“I honestly think like 90% of it is on accident,” says Campbell. “I truly believe people are kind of aware.

There is a lot of stuff down there but there are definitely condensed areas.

For the amount of traffic, it’s not as bad as you would think.”

One thing that Loot the Deschutes wants to make aware is that while they think it’s great kids and people are getting behind them, they don’t want to influence anyone into trying this without the right skillset.

“There’s crazy stuff down there,” says Smith. “Giant rocks with holes in them—I saw this piece of wood with

nails sticking out of it [a rock] that would have just latched on to you.”

Other dangers the group mentions are getting stuck to a lure, stuck under a rock, cut on glass and the overall power and unknown of the river. But that’s also why it makes what the group does extra important—because they continue to make the river safer for the rest of the people using it.

The team’s finds are starting to accumulate, to which Campbell jokes has been like a museum for friends and family who come by the house. For things no one claims there’s the question of what to do next.

“We’re considering making art out of some of the old items that have been river-weathered,” says Eubank. “We’re not throwing things away.”

“Other than the ‘real’ garbage,” chimes Campbell.

Some of the weirdest finds (other than the Smith & Wesson handgun) include a pet dog’s urn, a stolen purse from the ‘80s with ID and makeup preserved, old computers, crutches and more– so it makes sense when Eubank tells me that it’s “like a time capsule down there.”

Smith compares the feeling of searching the river to walking along and finding a $20 bill or other random item on the sidewalk.

“It’s just exciting!” Smith says while overlooking the water. “It’s a totally different world—an underwater world.”

Counting Life’s Flowering Treasures The ebb and flow of local populations of the mariposa lily

By Jim Anderson Sue Anderson

Leopold stated the basic principle of his land ethic as: “A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.” Which changes the role of Homo sapiens from conquerors of the land to plain members and citizens of it, cooperating with the laws of nature.

Leopold’s 1949 book, “A Sand County Almanac,” should be in the middle of everyone’s kitchen table; it holds the keys to our survival as a species.

Back to Kuhn. He sat down and wrote methods for a scientific look at this beautiful wildflower to better understand why it lives the way it does and how to help it continue doing so. He’s shared his long love affair with the mariposas on the 33.21-acre wildlife parcel that he and his late wife, Leigh, protected and monitored over the 30+ years they lived there.

His model for wildflower research can be duplicated and applied to anything you may want to take a closer look at in your backyard: favorite fishing hole, deer-hunting area, bird-watching spot or whatever.

In his words, here’s what he did.

“My late wife, Leigh, was a spotted owl caller during the early 1990s. Her training included the concept of setting transects and quadrants, two ecological tools that allow us to quantify the relative abundance of different organisms within a geographical area.

“Leigh helped me set the protocols for counting the mariposa lilies each year. Rules included to not stray more than a few feet from the

line so I wouldn’t overcount the lilies; only those within direct eyesight along the transect would be counted. I also compared the data with moisture not just from snow melt and rain, but also whether Las Niña or El Niño might have been a factor.”

Kuhn said the yearly maximum counts through 2017 averaged 624 lilies. The low in 2013 was 120. The maximum was 1,879 plants in 2005. In 2018—a very dry year with lots of haze and smoke in the air, Kuhn came back with a total of 16 mariposa lilies.

Kuhn went on to say, “2019 has been an incredible year. Late winter snowfall followed by Bill Kuhn and Paula Latasa-Kinzer inspect the love of Kuhn’s life, a few hailstorms, then the local mariposa lily. gentle rain allowed for an explosion of mariposa lilies.

ill Kuhn, who lives among the sagebrush, juniper and mariposa lilies, is somewhat like me: a worrywart.

Every time he and I sit by the fire we get to chinwaggin’ about what’s going to happen to the juniper, sagebrush and wildflowers—that are the love of our lives—after we go out among the stars.

Kuhn’s also a counter of things, if you will. It’s a habit he cultivated when he was a student starting school. He’d rather run than walk, and while doing so in those young school years he’d count the number of steps it took to run to school.

He’s still a runner and counter today.

Living in the Tumalo Winter Range (for deer), he noticed—and then began counting—the exquisitely beautiful mariposa lilies along his running path, worrying about them.

Unfortunately, we both see too many humans who haven’t evolved enough to see the land we live on as we both wish they would. We bump into those horseback riders who believe this land is theirs and they can go wherever and whenever they like any time they feel like it—the same way so many of the wheeled recreationalists and shooters do.

One of our fellow human beings that both Bill and I enjoy and try to emulate is our beloved old “lover of the land,” Aldo Leopold. All his professional life he tried to bring about a respectful way for humans to think about the land we live on.

But the growth of human society seems to have outrun Leopold’s wishes, and those who can’t/don’t/won’t/don’t see the land the way he did—unfortunately— are overpowering those who do in destructive ways.

Timing is Everything

65850 OLD BEND REDMOND HWY BARE LAND | 19 ACRES $355,000 Build your own dream home. 19 acre lot with electric, cable and phone conduits already installed. 3.1 acres are irrigated. Lined pond, white fencing. Great location.

Determining the right time to buy or sell because of record-low interest rates or listing a house during the busier spring and summer months. Waiting for the local real estate market to cool down or delaying until next year to list your house could mean missing out on opportunities to cash in.

The August Beacon Report was just released and the Central Oregon market continues to be hotter than ever with no sign of slowing down.

The single-family median home price in Bend has set a record high the previous two months, currently at $475,000. Redmond’s real estate market is also setting records with the median home price at $338,000.

Even with home prices at an all-time high, it’s still a great time for buyers to take advantage of record low interest rates. Interest rates just fell again, down to 3.49%, and Freddie Mac predicts 2019 will continue to be the year of low rates.

Typically, the real estate market will see highs and lows over the short term between winter and summer months and over a longer time frame as well.

But one truth remains: land values will continue to appreciate over the years, even though some may have to ride out a recession in the middle. Waiting for a market shift or rates to fall again is unpredictable and risky—so the answer to the timing question is simple: if it’s suitable for the situation, always make a move sooner rather than later.

he most-asked question real estate professionals hear is always centered around timing and when is the right time to buy or sell. Buyers are always anticipating and hoping for the next recession or wishing for lower prices while sellers want to know the most advantageous time to put their home on the market in order to make a maximum profit on the sale. In life and in real estate, timing can change everything. We’ve all made decisions out of necessity, desperation, based on a feeling or even after forming a well-thought-out plan—but knowing if that decision will be the right one or the most beneficial one can be tricky.

There are a variety of reasons people make the decision to buy or sell, and priorities and motivation will help answer the timing question.

People move out of necessity, such as getting a new job or upsizing for a growing family. Some move for a lifestyle change, to move closer to relatives or friends or they just can’t wait to live the outdoorsy Bend lifestyle. Sometimes a move is financially driven; finances are finally in order or maybe there’s equity in the current home and it’s time to upgrade to a nicer home or neighborhood.

Most often, if people have the flexibility, they’ll make their decisions to buy or sell based on market cycles and fluctuations. For example, buying

jis because they think they’re silly or cheesy. But I have to say, when men use emojis, they make me feel good. Is it crazy that a heart or a rose emoji makes me feel like a man’s more interested?

—Wondering It’s easy to misinterpret tone in texts.

However, emojis are basically the cartoon cousins of commas, which can make the difference between a quiet evening at home and an evening spent handcuffed facedown while the forensics team digs up your backyard for skeletal remains. (If only you’d tucked the commas into the appropriate places when you texted, “I love cooking my dogs and my grandma.”)

Emojis in courtship were the subject of two studies from the Kinsey Institute.

In the more recent one, social psychologist Amanda Gesselman and her colleagues found a link between emoji use and maintaining a connection beyond the first date, as well as more romantic interactions and more sex (over the year that participants were surveyed about).

I suspect emojis are an especially helpful tool for men to use in dating. Research by psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen suggests that men, in general, don’t have women’s emotional fluency—that is, women’s ease in identifying and expressing emotion. Emojis help men communicate warmth and interest in a woman easily and comfortably. This in turn keeps women from getting mad that men don’t show their feelings—or mistaking a lack of expressiveness for a lack of feeling.

So it’s no surprise you appreciate the emojis. Still, there’s much that remains unexplored in these studies. For example, do people who use more emojis get more dates and sex, or do people who get more dates and sex use more emojis? And do emojis play well with everybody, or do they sometimes kill a developing connection? ”Wait...a 55-year-old man just sent me an entire screen of cartoon eggplants?”

Of course, emojis could more charitably be viewed as a classic form of communication. The medium was just different back around 2000 B.C., when the pharaoh would dispatch the eunuch with stone tablets covered in pictures of dogs, beetles, and mummies. Message: “Dinner is at 6, unless there’s a plague of locusts.”

Pretender Mercies A senior colleague was consistent-

ly rotten to me—demeaning, abusive, passive-aggressive. I tried to get

him to behave more respectfully, but nothing changed. I now try to avoid him as much as possible. His mom just died, and a co-worker suggested I send him my condolences. But this would feel really insincere. Isn’t it important to be authentic?

—Mistreated If you always expressed your true feelings, you’d probably get arrested a lot—like if a cop pulls you over and asks, “Do you know why I stopped you?” and you answer, “You have a small penis, and you’ve yet to hit your ticket quota?”

Authenticity is overrated. Sure, it’s seriously important when you’re bidding $3 million for a Picasso. But in humans, authenticity basically means having the outAmy Alkon er you—your behavior—match the inner you: your thoughts, desires, feelings, and values.

Revealing your hopes, fears, and desires to another person is essential to having real intimacy—allowing them to really know and understand you. But as with the Officer Cocktail Sausage example, telling the whole truth isn’t always ideal.

Technically, by not letting rip whatever feeling comes to mind, you’re being “inauthentic,” “phony,” “insincere.”

However, this view comes out of neuroscientific ignorance. Though we have personality traits that are consistent across time and situations, research by neuroscientists Roger Wolcott Sperry, Michael Gazzaniga, and Joseph LeDoux suggests there is no singular, consistent “real you”—or “real” anyone, for that matter. Instead, we each appear to be a set of shifting standards, preferences, and practices based on the priorities that a particular situation triggers in our evolved psychology: whether, say, it’s survival (“Run for your life!”) or mating (“Wanna have coffee? Naked?”).

Not having a singular self means we can choose the sort of person we want to be. We do this by coming up with a set of values and acting in line with them. (For more on the practical steps involved, see the “Be Inauthentic!” chapter in my book “Unf*ckology.”) In your case, for example, if kindness is one of your values, you might set aside your grievances with your colleague and decide, “You’re a fellow human who’s suffering, and I’m gonna reach out to say I’m sorry about that.” Being kind to a guy you loathe is actually an act of sincerity when your behavior aligns with your values. If only “killing ‘em with kindness” were more than a figure of speech...then you could call dibs on this meanie’s swanky office as they wheeled him out in a body bag.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s species are going extinct at a rate unmatched since the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. Among the creatures on the verge of being lost forever are birds like the cryptic treehunter and spixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s macaw, as well as the northern white rhino and the vaquita, a type of porpoise. So why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we clone the last few individuals of those beleaguered species? Here are the answers. 1. Cloned animals typically arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t healthy. 2.

A species needs a sizable population to retain genetic diversity; a few individuals arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sufficient. 3. Humans have decimated the homes of the threatened species, making it hard for them to thrive. Conclusion: Cloning is an inadequate stopgap action. Is there a better way to address the problem? Yes: by preserving the habitats of wild creatures. Inspired by this principle, Libra, I ask you to avoid trying halfway fixes for the dilemmas in your personal sphere.

Summon full measures that can really work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Though patched together and incomplete, the 2,200-year-old marble sculpture known as the Winged Victory of Samothrace is prominently displayed at Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Louvre

Museum. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a glorious depiction of Nike, the winged goddess of victory, and is regarded as one of ancient Greeceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great masterpieces. For hundreds of years it was missing. Then in 1863, an archaeologist discovered it, although it was broken into more than a hundred pieces. Eventually, it was rebuilt, and much of its beauty was resurrected. I see the coming weeks as a time when you, too, could recover the fragments of an old treasure and begin reassembling it to make a pretty good restoration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that I must find positive outlets for anger or it will destroy me,â&#x20AC;? said actor Sidney Poitier. That can be a dynamic meditation for you during the next three weeks. I think you will derive substantial power from putting it into action. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ingenious and diligent about finding those positive outlets, your anger will generate constructive and transformative results.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): In 1905, at the age of 30, Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote the novel Anne of Green Gables. It was a tale about an orphan girl growing up on Prince Edward Island. She sent the manuscript to several publishers, all of whom rejected it. Discouraged, she put it away in a hatbox and stored it in a closet. But two years later, her ambitions reignited when she re-read the story. Again she mailed it to prospective publishers, and this time one liked it enough to turn it into a book. It soon became a bestseller.

Since then it has sold over 50 million copies and been translated into 36 languages. I figure you Capricorns are at a point in your own unfolding thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equivalent to where Anne was shortly before she rediscovered the manuscript sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d put away in the hatbox.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Toxorhynchites are species of large mosquitoes that

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Audre Lord identified herself as a black writer, lesbian, librarian, mother, feminist, civil rights activist, and many other descriptors. But as ardent as she was in working for the political causes she was passionate about, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be pigeonholed in a single identity.

One of her central teachings was to celebrate all the different parts of herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can you keep it all afloat,â&#x20AC;? she testified. These approaches should be especially fun and extra meaningful for you in the coming weeks, Pisces. I encourage you to throw a big Unity Party for all the different people you are.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Hi, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m your sales representative for UnTherapy, a free program designed to provide healing strategies for people who are trying too hard. Forgive me for being blunt, but I think you could benefi t from our services. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have space here to reveal all the secrets of UnTherapy, but hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an essential hint: every now and then the smartest way to outwit a problem is to stop worrying, let it alone, and allow it to solve itself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): People in Northeast India weave long, strong suspension bridges out of the living roots of fig trees. The structures can measure up to 150 feet and bear the weight of hundreds of people. In accordance with astrological omens, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make these marvels your metaphors of power for the coming weeks. To stimulate your meditations, ask yourself the following questions. 1. How can you harness nature to help you to get where you need to go? 2. How might you transform instinctual energy so that it better serves your practical needs? 3. How could you channel wildness so that it becomes eminently useful to you?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you climb to the top of Mt. Everest, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re standing on land that was once on the fl oor of a shallow tropical sea.

Four-hundred-million-year-old fossils of marine life still abide there in the rock. Over the course of eons, through the magic of plate tectonics, that low fl at land got folded and pushed upwards more than fi ve miles. I suspect you Geminis will have the power to accomplish a less spectacular but still amazing transformation during the next ten months. To get started, identify what you would like that transformation to be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1996, when Gar y Kasparov was rated the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best chess player, he engaged in a series of matches with a chess-playing computer named Deep Blue.

Early on in the first game, Deep Blue tried a move that confused Kasparov. Rattled, he began to wonder if the machine was smarter than him. Ultimately, his play suffered and he lost the game. Later it was revealed that Deep Blueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s puzzling move was the result of a bug in its code.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll encourage you to cultivate a benevolent bug in your own code during the coming weeks, Cancerian. I bet it will be the key to you scoring a tricky victor y.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): American hero Harriet Tubman escaped slaver y as a young woman.

She ran away from the wealthy â&#x20AC;&#x153;masterâ&#x20AC;? who claimed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ownâ&#x20AC;? her, and reached sanctuar y.

But rather than simply enjoy her freedom, she dedicated herself to liberating other slaves.

Nineteen times she returned to enemy territor y and risked her life, ultimately leading 300 people out of hellish captivity. Later she ser ved as a scout, spy, and nurse in the Union Army during the Civil War, where her actions saved another 700 people. In 1874, the U.S. Congress considered but then ultimately rejected a bill to pay her $2,000 for her numerous courageous acts. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you dare be like Congress in the coming weeks, Leo. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial that you give tangible acknowledgment and practical rewards to those who have helped, guided, and supported you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Novelist Wallace Stegner wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some are born in their place, some find it, some realize after long searching that the place they left is the one they have been searching for.â&#x20AC;? I hope that in the last nine months, Virgo, you have resolved which of those three options is true for you. I also trust that you have been taking the necessary actions to claim and own that special placeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to acknowledge it and treasure it as the power spot where you feel most at home in the world. If you have not yet fully finished what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m describing here, do it now.

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buzz around our heads while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to sleep and will never bite our skin or suck our blood.

In fact, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re our benefactors. Their larvae feast on the larvae of the mosquitoes that are bothersome to us. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that you be alert for a metaphorically comparable influence in your own life: a helper or ally that might be in disguise or may just superficially seem to be like an adversary.

Marijuana farm blamed for flagging grape sales WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / SEPTEMBER 12, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

50

By Jeremy Dickman

A

case of allegedly tainted grapes in Yamhill County is a topic of conversation around the state.

In April, Momtazi Family LLC, a vineyard located in McMinnville, filed a lawsuit under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act against a nearby marijuana farm. Yamhill Naturals, which runs the adjacent marijuana farm on property owned by Steven, Richard and Mary Wagner, is accused of the usual litany of “nuisance” claims that past plaintiffs have brought, including odor, and—this is true—an allegation that the defendants killed a cow belonging to the plaintiff.

Momtazi Family LLC also claims, however, that the Wagners’ marijuana farm has diminished the value of their property and caused a customer to cancel an order of grapes.

These claims were at the crux of a motion to dismiss filed by the Wagners, which alleged that the damages suffered by Momtazi were neither concrete, nor plausible.

On Sept. 4, a federal court disagreed, denying the motion to dismiss. District Judge Anna Brown ruled that the plaintiffs had standing to sue, and that the marijuana farm’s activities plausibly resulted in concrete damages for the plaintiff.

Whether indeed the plaintiffs can prove at trial that there is a nexus between the marijuana grown next door, and the supposed diminution of their property value and the lone customer’s alleged fear of marijuana tainting the grapes, is an entirely different matter. There’s no evidence to suggest that an adjacent marijuana farm will taint wine grapes in a neighboring vineyard, or diminish property values. Even this RICO suit doesn’t seem to allege a pattern of customers returning or canceling deliveries of grapes, but rather a claim that one customer canceled an order based on an anticipation of “tainted” grapes.

(Personally, I’m always more perturbed by the idea that bare feet might be crushing my wine grapes, but perhaps that’s just residual fear from an “I Love Lucy” episode.)

If this sounds familiar, it’s because Deschutes County residents, too, have voiced concern over declining property values related to cannabis production, despite lack of evidence. In Central Oregon, housing prices have gone nowhere but up since cannabis became legal to grow in 2016, with zero evidence that the regulated cannabis market has caused so much as a slowdown in property values.

But back to the tale of the tainted grapes and cattle murder: Judge Brown’s decision doesn’t mean the Momtazi family proved their case. It just means their case can proceed.

Winning on a motion to dismiss can be very difficult, so long as the plaintiff ’s pleadings aren’t wholly fabricated. After the plaintiffs put on their case, the Wagners could win on summary judgment (a motion commonly filed with the judge after the plaintiffs present their evidence, and the defendant argues that no rebuttal from the defense is needed to effectively argue their case).

Whether the Wagners win with a later pretrial motion, or at trial itself, however, the damage may already be done. Litigation is famously expensive.

The pleadings, answers, replies, discovery and depositions often require years of an attorney’s time, and it’s not uncommon for complex litigation to cost a defendant hundreds of thousands of dollars before a trial even begins. This isn’t ideal for farmers who have likely invested a small fortune (or crippling debt) in property, structures, odor-scrubbing technology and attorneys and CPAs qualified to navigate the byzantine regulations set up by the state and local governments.

Then there’s the concern that the Wagners could lose and be on the hook for treble damages (RICO lawsuits allow plaintiffs to recover triple the amount in damages they suffered if they prevail at trial).

It should be noted that both parties in this suit are in the business of trafficking in substances that are considered damaging vices. Winemakers are peddling a product containing alcohol, which is responsible for some 88,000 deaths annually. Marijuana, meanwhile, has a relatively tenuous connection to any mortality whatsoever. Studies show a negligible increase in “all-cause” mortality rates among men who smoke marijuana versus men who do not, and no increase at all in mortality among women. Yet, time and again, we’re told by the anti-marijuana zealots that we should view the danger of cannabis with special contempt.

Once again, are the plaintiffs really suffering harm, or is this another tantrum from rural residents throughout the state about the “immoral” nature of cannabis? Marijuana is federally illegal, hence a federal statute avails the plaintiff to this kind of suit.

But speaking as an attorney, is this “because I said so” federal prohibition proof enough that our society should enrich lawyers to fight it?
