Happy fall! In the midst of all the fires, protests and election season drama, I think it’s safe to say that most Central Oregonians were thrilled with the good news of seeing a few drops of rain fall this past week—and to see a cooler season approach—at least as it pertains to tamping down Oregon’s massive fires. How will it affect the pandemic? That’s another story.

As we fall into this new season, we’re watching closely to see the progress on the many fires still burning in Oregon. This week, we’re bringing some of the stories of those affected by the fires—and the story, in our Chow section, of how restaurants are mobilizing to help. With so much happening, there’s plenty of support and mutual aid to focus on.

his month’s hazardous air quality brought up an issue that, while never completely forgotten, seems to slip into the background with the first blush of spring. This past week, several Bend churches set up emergency smoke relief shelters to house people who live outside, and for whom being subjected to air quality levels in the 500s all day and night could pose a significant risk. The smoke shelters at First United Methodist and First Presbyterian churches offered a period of respite from dangerous air, and did so without some of the barriers that people might encounter elsewhere. Dogs were welcome. Families could stay together. No one had to leave early in the morning and wait for re-entry time later in the day.

The people in the smoke shelters are some of the same people for whom the advent of winter means a difficult period—of not only managing the logistics of living outside, but also, of finding out where, and when, they might be able to access a warm bed indoors.

Winter warming shelters exist in all of the towns of Central Oregon, but in many of them, the spaces move around to various churches—meaning a person has to keep up on the latest information to find out where they can go on any given week.

Advocates for the homeless community continue to proclaim it loudly: Central Oregon, and namely, Bend, needs a dedicated winter warming shelter—one that is in a stable location and doesn’t come with high barriers to entry. A facility such as that would be a literal shelter from the storm on harsh winter nights— and could also serve as the gathering point when events, such as a spate of massive wildfires, cause those living outdoors to need respite.

Right now, local leaders have to declare an emergency in order for people to be able to legally open temporary, makeshift shelters in spaces such as churches or warehouses. The need for an emergency declaration came rather early in the season last year; when temps went below freezing Oct. 26, 2019, Bend City Manager Eric King declared one—more than a month before winter emergency shelters typically open. It should not take a state of emergency, declared for severe winter weather, for our community to take action. The many hardworking volunteers of the Homeless Leadership Coalition understand this and work tirelessly to advocate for the area’s houseless population.

Last year, the Oregon legislature provided funds for Bend’s winter

warming shelter through funds from the Oregon Housing and Community Services department. The Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Office found space in a building slated for renovation.

This year, much has changed, with our state facing increased unemployment and the governor reallocating some state funds to wildfire response in lieu of other projects.

Where will the space, and the money, come from?

Deschutes County has made a lot of progress in the past several years in establishing partnerships among government agencies and private partners to fulfill a community need. The Deschutes County Crisis Stabilization Center, now staffed until 9 at night seven days a week, is one example. The Central Oregon Veteran’s Village, a project in the fundraising stage that will serve as transitional housing, is another example of public bodies and private entities coming together to realize a vision. Likewise, Central Oregon could solve the annual problem of winter-warming for people without homes—but it’s going to take more money, and perhaps more importantly, more public will, and involvement from more community members, to get it done.

Right now, many people are feeling called to help the firefighters and the fire evacuees who are turning up all over the Northwest—and for good reason. Our hearts go out to the many Oregonians whose lives have been turned upside down from the fires. Their needs are acute, and real—and meanwhile, there are those whose needs are more chronic, and equally real.

There’s no doubt that Oregon needs more people to donate and volunteer during this time of crisis—but smoke refugees are wildfire victims, too.

With that, locals should try to wrap their heads around paying a bit more in taxes—and advocating to elected officials—for a permanent warming shelter in Deschutes County.

The same shelter spaces that would support people during winter storms could also be the spaces used during a hazardous smoke event— and any other calamities that happen to come our way.

There’s no doubt that Oregon is facing big challenges right now. As we move forward into this uncertain future, let’s remember to think about solving problems not just in the short term, but also the long term. It’s up to all of us—not just the same groups of volunteers, faith leaders and government agencies.

THE CLEVELAND IDIOTS

Hello, Cleveland! Why is your city’s Major League Baseball franchise still called “The Indians”? It’s 2020, you know - time to let the 1950s go.

Just like the Cleveland Indians franchise gave up their unbelievably offensive team logo “Chief Wahoo” (also known as Red Sambo) during 2018, after persistent public pressure. Cleveland will be shamed into finally ridding itself of its racist team name “The Indians” after the current baseball season ends.

In 1996, the Cleveland Browns National Football League franchise changed its name to “The Ravens” after relocating to Baltimore. So what’s Cleveland’s argument for keeping the inexcusable team nickname “The Indians”?

Considering Cleveland’s long history of losing, any one of these ten alternative team names below would be a much more appropriate moniker for Cleveland’s baseball team: • Cleveland Indefensibles • Cleveland Incompetents • Cleveland Irrelevants • Cleveland Incontinents • Cleveland Indignants • Cleveland Irredeemables • Cleveland Indigents • Cleveland Indolents • Cleveland Indigo Girls • Cleveland Idiots —Jacob Pickering

RE: IF WE’RE IN A WAR ON CARS, IS THIS HOW WE WIN IT? OPINION, 9/10

Culture War. This all boils down to poor leadership. Please get out there and vote. This article was well written and makes very strong points. Where is the leadership for all of us as a community? Our leadership has failed us during the pandemic (schools are not back in but bars are open and occupancy rate is over 95%), failure in keeping housing affordable, supporting equity and inclusion (ICE presence in Bend), failure in transportation, continuous building and developing luxury properties without proper infrastructure. You can’t complain if you don’t vote. Please vote. We have some really great people looking to be true leaders.

RE: ARE WE NEXT? NEWS, 9/17

While this is a great article highlighting steps that have been taken to mitigate our wildfire risks, I am concerned about how this article makes it appear we are somehow now immune to those risks. I agree these steps are important, but it’s also important to highlight the areas that still have a lot of work to be done to create “safe” zones around our city. These measures over the last 20 years have not “fixed” the poor forest management of the last century. We may be working towards a

goal of lowering our risk of becoming the next Paradise, but we are not there yet, and this article should make that more clear than it currently does.

—Meghan O’Malley, via bendsource.com Would also be interesting to hear what Bend is doing, or requiring, of developers where homes and businesses are pushing into wild lands. Are lot sizes or density considerations playing a role? Are there greater steps that can be taken beyond roof building codes?

Are landscaping/HOA rules being modified to create or mandate defensible space? It appears that when risk is balanced against profit, profit wins.

Q & A with Deschutes County Forester Ed Keith WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / SEPTEMBER 24, 2020 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Deschutes County is one of the only counties in the state with a forester dedicated to reducing wildfire risk. We chat with him about what he does—and what homeowners can do to protect themselves

By Laurel Brauns

E

d Keith, Deschutes County forester, was a recent guest on the Source Weekly’s podcast “Bend Don’t Break.” With a number of Oregon’s beloved mountain towns decimated by wildfire last week, we asked Keith about his work with local, state and federal governments as well as private landowners to keep Bend safe.

Ten years ago, Keith began working with the Deschutes Collaborative Forest Project, a diverse collective of environmentalists, firefighters and timber executives to reduce the risk of major wildfires in Deschutes County through forest thinning and controlled burns.

In this Q&A, Keith discusses his work with landowners to create defensible space around their homes and discusses how Oregon’s urban growth boundaries play a key role in keeping cities protected from mass destruction.

Source Weekly: You have held the title of “forester” throughout much of your career. What does that mean?

Ed Keith: A forester can be anything from somebody that plans or oversees timber sales, to somebody that works on reforestation, to somebody that helps plan tree thinning and fuel reduction. A lot of my career has been focused on how fire interacts with forests and how we can manage forests for better fire outcomes.

SW: Why does a county have a forestry position?

EK: The position with Deschutes County is fairly unique. There are several other county foresters in Oregon, but most of them are actually there to plan timber sales and create revenue for the county. In Deschutes it is just completely different because of the fact that we have a couple of hundred thousand people living here in a county that has a lot of wildland fuel and a lot of fire. The county decided to create a position that would really focus on reducing the risk [of fire] to those communities.

SW: Both social media and the internet is full of questions right now about why all these fires are burning at once… I’ve lived here a long time and I’ve seen many forest fires, just never this number of forest fires and this geographical spread…

EK: It’s gonna be one for the history books, for sure. It’s due to a lot of things: long-term drought, the fact that we went into this year with somewhat normal snowpack but came off it fairly quick. We’ve had an extended period this summer where we’ve seen really no precipitation at all. We had a really unique cold front that combined with east winds.

By Cliff Liedke

But looking over the longer term, the history of both fire management and forest management has contributed to the fire spread. Because of 110 yeas of very successful fire suppression, our forests are much more continuous than they would have been in the past, so that has led to these larger scale fires on the landscape. Also, a lot of people that aren’t watching this on a day-to-day basis might not even know, but we have hundreds of fires every year… there were several fires already out on the landscape that weren’t caught yet when this weather happened, and many more happened from powerline failures due to downed trees and things like that; there were lots more ignitions than we had the capacity to catch all at once. There were already all these fires in California that were draining our resources. It was a perfect storm for these fires to spread very rapidly.

SW: What did you mean when you said the combustible fuels formed a “continuous area?”

EK: In the past—I’m talking about thousands of years of fire history with suppression—we would have seen fires burning all over Oregon and those might have burned for a little while and then maybe run into an old historic burn and burned their way out. But with fire suppression, all the patchiness that we could have seen in our forests in the past filled in and all the growth continues every time we put out a fire. That growth likely would have been burned and created a small opening, creating a mosaic on the landscape. Now a lot more fuel carries the fire over a large area of the landscape.

SW: Tell us a little bit about how these fires start and why they start… because we hear a lot about ‘it’s powerlines’ or ‘it’s lightning strikes’ or ‘it’s campers’ …or ‘it’s Antifa!’

EK: For Oregon as a whole, we sit around 80% human-caused and 20% lightning-caused fires. But it really depends on the geography… in eastern Oregon that might be closer to 50/50, where in western Oregon it might be closer to 90 to 95% human-caused, as they don’t experience much lightning and there’s lots more humans. The number one cause of human-caused fires is escaped debris burns. Then equipment, which includes everything from powerlines going down to a railroad car that might catch on fire, to dragging tow chains. The third category is related to recreation. All human-caused fires are at least, in theory, preventable.

SW: It’s common to hear about fires being 5% contained or 100%

Ed Keith has worked as county forester for Deschutes County since 2012.

contained. Can you describe what that actually means?

EK: It essentially means if you drew a line around a fire—and in some of these fires they might have three or four hundred miles of fireline that needs to be built—the containment is the percentage of the line around the fire that is not only built, but that the fire manager expects will reasonably hold. It will withstand a wind event or has enough fire hose around it to hold that fire from spreading back across the line.

SW: With so many people moving to Bend and the pressure to expand out into the wildland-urban interface… from the perspective of the county forester, what does that mean for the future?

EK: For the older communities in the WUI, our work is to retrofit those for today’s reality. A lot of the work that I do is trying to get those communities thinking about how they can reduce their fuels to create defensible space. For the communities that are now being built or planned for the future, I would point to The Tree Farm development in the Westside Transect Zone… [this neighborhood] is a

buffer between the City of Bend and the undeveloped wildland further to the west. These homes are at a high risk for impact from wildfire so they were built with that in mind. This includes fire resistant building materials, mandatory defensible space, certain plants for landscaping and multiple evacuation and access routes.

Overall, we’re doing a much better job trying to strike the balance between the pressures on the available land to build places for people to live and the community to expand, while also keeping in mind that we live in a fire-adapted forest and our communities need to be built in the safest manner possible.

Schmidt concluyo que “Actualmente necesitamos voluntarios para transportar los alimentos de lo restaurantes locales hacia los evacuados que se encuentran en los hoteles o en los terrenos de la feria del condado Deschutes”.

Fritchman agrego que la comunidad de restaurantes locales ha creado otra manera de apoyar de manera local mientras que se le da de comer aquellos que necesiten la ayuda.

“Le estamos pidiendo a la gente comprar tarjetas de regalo de sus restaurantes favoritos y luego llevaremos las tarjetas a los hoteles donde se están hospedando los evacuados.

El gerente del hotel elegirá una tarjeta al azar y se la entregará a una familia para que así las personas vivan una sensación de normalidad estando aquí en Bend; por ejemplo, salir a comer, comprar una rebanada de pizza o salir a tomar una taza de café. Esperamos recibir 105 tarjetas de regalo ya que aproximadamente es el numero de evacuados que tenemos en Bend. Pueden entregar las tarjetas en nuestro local del centro de la ciudad de Bend”.

de restaurantes locales. Todos constamos de una cocina, todos tenemos las habilidades, pero todos nuestros restaurantes han sido azotados por el COVID. Así que, al solicitar donaciones y obtener fondos por parte de la comunidad en general, nos permite preparar los alimentos y entregarlos a aquellas personas que lo necesitan”.

Bellatazza cambio su página oficial de web para convertirla en una pagina para recibir donativos, en la cual, las personas donan entre $5 y $100 para que lleguen directamente a los refugiados por los incendios. “Las donaciones pueden ser otorgadas en forma de tarjetas de regalo, potencialmente podrían ser destinadas a proporcionar café caliente a las personas evacuadas se encuentran albergados en la iglesia First Presbyterian o a aquellas que vienen de Detroit, personas sin un hogar. La comunidad de restaurantes locales ha estado preparando comidas que la Cruz Roja recoge para llevarlas a los moteles.”

Lo que comenzó como una “operación estilo guerrilla”, como lo describió Fritchman, se ha convertido en algo mucho mas accesible. La pagina

medida que se desipa el humo y los habitantes de la ciudad poco a poco regresan a su vida diaria (durante la era de COVID), muchos residentes de la zona centro de Oregon siguen desplazados, angustiados y sin vivienda a la cual regresar – sus vidas volcaron por tiempo indefinido.

Mientras que los niveles récord de 900,000 hectáreas de suelo seguían quemándose el jueves, mas de 500,000 personas siguieron permaneciendo bajo un tipo de orden de evacuación.

Desde el momento que la noticia de los incendios empezó a difundirse, los dueños de empresas locales se reunieron para movilizarse. A pesar de que los restaurantes locales se han sido los más afectados debido a las restricciones relacionadas con el COVID, las cafeterías y restaurantes como Bellatazza, Joolz, Nancy P’s y Terrabone Depot se unieron para servir desayuno, almuerzo, cena y café.

Stewart Fritchman, dueño de la cafetería Bellatazza, en el centro de la cuidad de Bend, explico que “Tan pronto como nos esteramos que las personas necesitaban ayuda, empezamos a trabajar.

s 30 different wildfires continue to burn—so vast they can be seen from space—toxic flames that blanketed the West Coast have forced many Central Oregonians to grapple with this grim and historic event, first-hand.

More than 7,500 firefighters from nearly 40 states and three Canadian provinces are battling the blazes in Oregon, according to the Oregon Office of Emergency Management. Data shows nine people dead, five still missing, with a staggering 2,268 homes destroyed, along with 1,556 other structures. More than 2,500 evacuees are in shelters scattered across the state—including dozens in emergency housing in Central Oregon. Nearly 3,400 survivors have signed up for individual assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The effects—beyond the smoky haze—are staggering.

What was once old growth. Gone.

As the winds howled and gusted up to 60 miles per hour on the eve of Labor Day Monday, Kiger Plews, 29, prepped for the upcoming windstorm by going into town and buying batteries in case the power went out. His house, near the McKenzie River in the tiny incorporated town of Vida, sat right next to his brother’s and his parents’. Plews was calm.

His other family members were not.

“My brother was a little more on edge than normal because it was so dry

out,” says Plews. They knew downed power lines could quickly start wildfires. “Whereas my mom just had this sinking, gut feeling, knowing the winds were strong and coming from the east.

She knew something was off and different about this situation. We had scares before in that area, but it was just those high winds and the dryness. She knew it was the perfect storm.”

Plews’ mother didn’t just have a sixth sense about fire; she had 30 years of experience dealing with it. Chief Christina Rainbow Plews, or Chief Rainbow, as she prefers to be called, is the fire chief of the Upper McKenzie Rural District Fire Department—one of fewer than 50 women in the U.S. to be ranked that high.

Kiger Plews recalls the moment he heard the fire alarms go off in his mother’s home, signaling a downed powerline at the Holiday Farm RV Park, which blew into some grasses and started off as less than 1/10th of an acre in size—the start of the devastating Holiday Farm Fire.

Sticking his head out the window, he watched as his mom ran to her rig, wildland gear on, to begin what would be a nearly 60-hour work shift. As she left, she said to his dad, “This is my worst nightmare.”

Within hours, the fire, pushed by those strong winds that she had feared so much, would jump across Highway 126 and into residential areas. She Kiger Plews

would be calling a Level 3—a “Go Now” evacuation order, and within hours, the fire would stretch more than 20 miles, incorporating the communities of McKenzie Bridge, Blue River and Vida.

“I think everybody sort of thought I’d lost my mind,” Chief Rainbow said about issuing the Level 3 order. “It was clearly getting bigger by the minute, faster than we could drive.” She didn’t think the fire would stretch the 20 miles her order extended it to, she said, but it did. Officials have agreed her choice to evacuate so extensively prevented catastrophic loss of life.

Chief Rainbow effectively saved hundreds of lives as she and her volunteer battalion drove around blasting sirens and personally knocking on doors telling people to get out. Those areas have since been dubbed by those who’ve returned as a “total loss.”

In Blue River, just east of McKenzie Bridge along Highway 126, one resident, Sean Davis, said, “It doesn’t exist anymore. It’s just a name.”

In the Holiday Farm Fire, an estimated 173,094 acres have burned, with over 300 structures reported lost. Among

those are the homes of about a half-dozen firefighters on Chief Rainbow’s crew—including her own family’s. A recent GoFundme set up by Bend resident and Blue River native Kaili Swetland, whose own family lost structures within the fire, garnered more than $50,000 for the McKenzie Bridge firefighters who lost those homes.

Kiger Plews is overwhelmed by the devastation, but also remarks on the unity among Oregonians.

“I would never wish this upon my worst enemy,” he said. “The feeling of helplessness, vulnerability, fright, anger, anything you can think of, it’s all rolled up into one emotion.

“But at the same time, I think a lot of people might have lost hope in the good of people, the good in society. And it’s really shitty that it had to be something like this to shed light on the fact that there are still a lot of really, really, really good people out there.

Two wildfires merge While the Holiday Farm Fire scorched areas along the McKenzie River, the Lionshead and Beachie Creek fires remain the two largest wildfires burning in Oregon, merging to burn 400,000 acres and seeing entire communities such as Detroit reduced to rubble and ash. Frightening stories of narrow escape and harrowing survival have emerged since.

Among the harrowing stories is the one of the 80 or so Detroit residents and nine firefighters who were caught at a boat dock, both ways out blocked by raining fire, fallen trees and landslides, as reported in The New York Times.

When helicopters sent out to rescue them couldn’t land amid the winds, they mounted a last defense by placing firefighting trucks as their blockades. Only then did a U.S. Forest Service member find and clear a logging road with a way out to safety, the NYT story detailed.

Then there’s the Detroit dam operator who rode out nearly 60 hours inside the concrete dam while fire engulfed the area around him, as reported by KGW. Then there are the five men who stayed behind and worked tirelessly for days to save parts of the historic Breitenbush Hot Springs—including the 1920s timbered lodge. Nearly half of the facility’s buildings burned.

And then there are the unspoken heroes.

Some of the wildland firefighters who are still currently working in the trenches—including those in the Willamette National Forest Santiam River Zone—have also lost their homes. Molly Blackburn is a former U.S. Forest Service employee. Her

Chief Rainbow, aka Christina Rainbow Plews, says people thought she was being overzealous when she issued a Level 3 “Go Now” order for Vida and its environs the night the Holiday Farm Fire spread. She’s now credited with saving many lives.

husband is a USFS crew superintendent who’s lived and worked in Detroit in the past and is currently fundraising for those firefighters. Her Gofundme has raised over $7,000 of the $10,000 requested in order to support the crew members who were renting homes within a compound and who lost possessions that would not be covered by homeowners’ insurance.

Blackburn’s own family home, bought by her father in the ‘70s, was destroyed in the fires—but the fund doesn’t benefit them.

“They have insurance, the other guys do not. So I’m trying to help them get on their feet once they finish working the fires and come back to nothing.”

Blackburn is dismayed at the extent of the wildfires this year, filled with the knowledge that her husband, who heads a 20-person crew, feeds her. “It’s widespread and intense,” she says, adding that she knows he doesn’t usually tell her to the extent of the devastation so as not to cause her to worry too much.

“My stomach turns as I imagine the fire cresting the hill to the east of our home,” Blackburn said. “I imagine the heat and gases from the fire blasting the glass in the kitchen and dining room, allowing the fire to enter our home uninvited. The flames licking and searching for fuel. The art my mom collected.

The furniture my dad built. The photos bubbling and crumpling to ash. My sister’s prom dresses, my childhood teddy, Crunchy....Christmas ornaments, fly rods, drawings, letters. My dad’s Purple Heart and the blood-soaked letter from my grandma he had in his pocket on the day he got shot in Vietnam. Every day, I’m reminded of things lost in the fire.”

Blackburn’s family, she says, won’t be returning to rebuild.

“My mom says she’s done. It’s something I’ve always worried about and it finally happened—and though she loves the area and that house, she says, ‘I can’t go back there and rebuild everything.’ Which

is extremely sad. My daughter is three and a half and she won’t ever see it as I saw it in my lifetime. How magical that area is.

Was. It’s just so heartbreaking.”

Extreme wildfires: a new normal?

Is the magnitude of these wildfires a once-in-a-generation event of historic and devastating consequences that won’t be seen again this generation? Many climate scientists, researchers and Oregon residents resoundingly say no.

“Scientists and ecologists have been projecting this for decades,” says Erica Fleishman, director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute and professor at Oregon State University. “It is really disheartening to realize that what people projected was fairly accurate, so I’m not surprised. I’m sad, but I’m not surprised.” Fleishman, who’s assisting in the 2021 release of the fifth Oregon Climate Assessment Report, says these wildfire events are fueled by three components: short term weather patterns, the lasting impacts of climate change and the changing patterns of human settlement.

The unprecedented but not unusual easterly winds, the continued frequency of long-lasting droughts adding a carpet of ready and vast fuel and more people living in areas that are prone to fire have contributed to such catastrophic loss.

While folks may seem overwhelmed as to how to prevent such events, Fleishman says there are two ways to think about it. The first is “preventing the event per se, minimizing the damage to life and livelihood.” Changing building codes so that buildings are less flammable and building in areas that have been cleared and can be defended are some options—and ones employed for homes in Wildland-Urban Interface areas in Central Oregon. Also helpful is a knowledge of evacuation routes, and limiting the building of new homes in areas known to be fire-prone.

and it’s not changing the short term or how people are responding to the fires. A lack of federal action is affecting worldwide reductions of greenhouse gases that ultimately increased the likelihood of these fires and the damages.”

While the Oregon legislature stalled earlier this year on the “Cap and Trade”

bill —Senate Republicans staged another walkout and boycotted the bill— Fleishman says that Oregon is still investing in things such as the Oregon Global Warming Commission.

“Creating consistent entities that are thinking about these issues, is something that a lot of states have not done…

so when I look at the many different ways in which Oregon is aware of risks, and is planning, such as a climate change adaptation framework that’s being worked on by 20 or more agencies, these are very positive ways in which Oregon is dealing with risks to human and natural systems, even when the Oregon legislature chooses not to engage.”

Fleishman remains optimistic.

“There are a tremendous number of experienced, wise people throughout the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management and other federal agencies, and they are thinking about how the risks can be minimized. They’re thinking about how to use limited or decreasing funds effectively to minimize the likelihood of fires and then to minimize loss of life and property when fires start.

“So, leadership plays a big role but so does the, the workforce that you have and the commitment that you have from a lot of people throughout the government.”

And as she notes, “These large fires have long term effects on ecosystems and a lot of ecosystems are changing and they come back somewhat different.

But in a sense, the ecosystems are much more resilient than the human communities that are affected.”

Will Wildfire Smoke Have Long-Term Effects?

A citizen science project collects data on the effects of smoke—and aims to find answers about how to protect people’s health

By Damian Fagan

T

he recent rash of wildfires across the western United States has destroyed small towns, burned thousands of acres of forests, displaced hundreds of people and created a super plume of smoke that currently stretches across the U.S. and parts of the Atlantic Ocean.

Though the wildfires have had a devasting effect, one government agency is trying to find the silver lining within that cloud of smoke.

Utilizing input from citizen scientists from around the country, the Environmental Protection Agency developed a free app called Smoke Sense to gain a better understanding of how wildfire smoke affects humans. This study not only collates data from participants on effects from wildfire smoke inhalation, but also provides Air Quality Index levels and information about how smoke affects people with health issues such as asthma, heart disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study aims to quantify how people react to wildfire smoke and how they respond to communication strategies from government agencies during a smoke event—especially those communities without a current public health plan.

As a research article published in the November 2019 issue of GeoHealth,

Damian Fagan

states, “Data from the pilot season (1 August 2017 to 7 January 2018; 5,598 downloads) suggest that there is a clear demand for personally relevant data during wildfire episodes motivated by recognition of environmental hazard and the personal concern for health.

However, while participants shared clear perceptions of the environmental hazard and health risks in general, they did not consistently recognize their own personal health risk. The engagement in health protective behavior was driven in response to symptoms rather than as preventive courses of action.”

The user-friendly app opens to a dashboard that indicates current and forecasted air quality indexes for a given area. Particulate and ozone level numbers provide a quick reference about conditions and air quality. The reporting screen for symptoms and smoke observations is based upon a weekly period.

On the Fire and Smoke Near Me Map, users can zoom in on locations and get up-to-date wildfire information including the causes of fires, if known, as well as current size, weather, firefighting activity and any notices of evacuation.

It’s amazing to visually see the impact of smoke from Western fires as it moves across the region.

In July, an update to the app included a section called “What Can I Do?” which provides tips and information to help people protect themselves from smoke issues and exposure. Many of the tips are common sense: stay indoors during times of unhealthy air or reduce activity levels. Anyone, not just participants, may sign up for emailed air quality alerts through the EPA’s EnviroFlash site that targets a person’s zip code. These alerts include air quality index information as well as other smoke-related news. If someone is traveling, they can change their reporting location.

In addition to the Smoke Sense app, another helpful wildfire resource is the Central Oregon Fire Information webpage. In both English and Spanish, the site has information and links to current fires, smoke maps, air quality indexes, emergency alerts and evacuation notices. Texting “COFIRE” to 888-777 subscribes users to wildlife and prescribed fire texts and alerts.

The website represents a collaboration between numerous federal, state, and non-governmental entities to provide wildfire-related information. Living in a fire-adapted environment impacts everyone, and access to information is critical for residents to see current

situations. For those on Twitter, users can also scroll through tweets on the Central OR Fire Info page.

Though many wildfires continue to burn in the West, relief from some changing weather has been assisting firefighters working on these blazes.

People are able to not only stay informed and aware of these current fires—but also help to promote an understanding of how wildfire smoke affects us all and how best to protect our health through the touch of a few screens.

The Smoke Sense app is free to download from Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

“In some cases, the fires have moved so quickly and been so extreme that reducing fuel loads is unlikely to have prevented a major fire,” says Fleishman.

“And then there are a lot of areas that are burning which have not burned in a long time and some cases where past fires have actively been suppressed. So yes, fuels have built up.”

Could thinning and prescribed fires help mitigate some of the disaster?

“In some cases, yes, and in some cases, no,” says Fleishman. “Thinning is often looked at as an alternative to reintroducing fire to that system, because it can be quite difficult for any number of reasons to implement prescribed fires… it’s difficult to really evaluate whether that worked, but there are a lot of researchers trying to evaluate it, and there’s obviously a lot of public discussion about it.”

She adds that for eastern areas of Oregon, a factor to consider for a major fire event is the presence of cheatgrass, a non-native invasive grass that is highly flammable and spreading.

Fleishman also mentions mitigating greenhouse gases, which are “exacerbating climate change” over the long term.

“Ignoring the scientific evidence is not changing the likelihood of events,

his pandemic summer, most live music on the scene has been brought by local musicians. Many artists decided to take things into their own hands when it came to shows, whether in person or through live streams—much of which was due to the High Desert Music Collective’s passion for the scene.

When conversations first started back in January, the team behind HDMC had no idea a pandemic was on the way. But the newly formed group forged ahead to create opportunities to help artists sustain themselves, while also giving locals more access to music and musicians.

Collective members include Charlie Utter (founder), Jeshua Marshall (on the ground action, hosts Thursdays at Riff), Scott Faber(tech/videography), John Theesen (sound engineer), Holly Wilson (hosts Storyteller Tuesdays), Matt Puccio (member concierge) and Marisa Funk (social media liaison). And there are many other minds in the music community who all share a part in the collective’s main goal.

“I’m grateful to be working with such great people. We have accomplished a lot in just these last six weeks,” says Utter.

Now HDMC has begun to roll out its membership program, meant to serve both fans and artists. Two types of memberships are available: Founding Artist or Community Member.

The Community Member membership is for music fans in Central Oregon who want to continue to support the scene. Members not only gain special access to future HDMC projects, like interviews or taped sessions, but also earn discounts at different businesses when flashing their HDMC card.

Community Members’ perks right now include a $20 gift card to El Sancho, 10% off at Oregrown, $2 off six-packs at Silver Moon Brewing and $1 off any purchase at Riff Cold Brewed. And Utter says there’s more to come.

“We’re continually adding to the package,” he says.

Founding Artist members receive the same perks as Community Members and are eligible to win recording package giveaways and other bonuses. Founding Artists will also be given opportunities to perform at shows and voice their thoughts on where HDMC should head in the future.

“For all of our founding artists, I want them to not only support what we’re already doing, but to voice what they want to see us do,” Utter tells the Source. “We want to maintain the

integrity of this being an artist first community and organization.”

Both memberships run at $100 a year or $10 a month. Utter says they already have 12 founding artists and a few community members.

Utter says eventually the team wants to roll out a system that helps connect music lovers and musicians. Fans who are members will earn access to info on artists and eventually will be able to see artist schedules and potentially book them for house shows.

“We want to build out being the nexus for house shows. This is one of the things Community Members get. They get access to our website, for interviews, band pages, booking for house shows,” explains Utter. “We want to facilitate giving artists opportunities during the winter. And we may not be able to provide indoor opportunities. We don’t know yet.”

While people have been able to rely on the outside for music shows this summer, the winter will bring challenges—both weather and pandemic-wise.

So this plan not only allows concerts to continue, it also creates work for musicians and bands. Everybody wins.

Still, Utter says the current situation is forcing them to move faster than they thought possible.

“It’s more like seven steps at a time at this point,” laughs Utter.

More immediately, HDMC is hosting its own stage at Bend Roots Revival—the yearly local music festival, planned for October. This year, the fest includes live music, live streams, interviews and more.

The High Desert Music Collective meets the first Tuesday of every month on the Silver Moon patio, and is open to all. Those interested in becoming a HDMC member can go to highdesertmusiccollective.com to register.

Go Clean… On Screen

This year’s Go Clean Energy Conference goes virtual, allowing for more globally renowned speakers to participate

By Cayla Clark Courtesy Deschutes350

This year’s Go Clean Energy Conference goes virtual.

and local government officials transition to an eco-friendlier way of life.

Numerous topics will be covered in detail, including procuring renewable energy, green transportation options, micro grids and electric bikes and cars. Hodiak noted that she is personally no stranger to such discussions.

“We have solar panels on the roof of our house,” she said. “We also drive an electric car. Our energy bill with Pacific Power is only $15, which is the bare minimum. We’ll be transitioning to electric heating as soon as we need a new furnace.”

One of the main topics of conversation is net-zero energy building—an important part of climate protection that Hodiak noted not many people know about in depth. “Basically, zeronet energy building means that you produce the same amount of energy

that you use. This refers to homes that are efficient and have solar on the roof.”

Multiple speakers will also discuss the Oregon Climate Plan. “The Oregon Climate plan is the outcome of Governor Kate Brown’s executive order 20-04, in which she instructed all state agencies to cap and reduce carbon,” Hodiak explained. “As a result, all state agencies will now do their work through a ‘Climate and Equity’ lens. The two most important agencies involved are DEQ [Oregon Department of Environmental Quality] and ODOT [Oregon Department of Transportation]. The former will be responsible for regulating pollution and the latter will transition from building roads to encouraging and incentivizing cleaner road building practices, and evaluating the environmental impacts on

climate vulnerable populations from every ODOT project. Vulnerable communities often live near major roads, and suffer more from asthma and respiratory disease due to poor air quality.

On our Transportation Day, Tuesday, Sept. 29, participants will learn how to get incentives for carpooling and how electric bikes are filling an important role in equity and expanded uses in business and commuting. ODOT will provide an overview of its new climate and equity role in transportation.”

People can sign up for the conference at the Go Clean Energy Conference website.

hile COVID-19 event restrictions wiped out some plans altogether, many local businesses and organizations chose to adapt and take advantage of what could be viewed as a unique opportunity to “go virtual.”

“Of course, with COVID happening, we had to make some changes,” explained Diane Hodiak, executive director of 305Deschutes, a nonprofit organization geared toward building awareness, educating and organizing further action around climate stability. For the past three years, Hodiak has headed the Go Clean Energy Conference, a seminar-style event meant to educate attendees on the importance of environmental consciousness and sustainable living.

For the first time since it was founded, the conference will take place online—and the virtual event is free to all registered participants.

“While we’ve had to make adjustments, we realized that by going virtual we can bring in nationally known speakers along with local speakers,” Hodiak said. “We need local people to connect with members of the Bend community, but then we have speakers like The Rocky Mountain Institute and Doctor CB; they’re known all over the world. It’s wonderful to be able to bring fresh ideas to the mix, we’re happy to do that.”

The event will host 30 experts over the course of 12 webinars, all speaking on how to help individuals, businesses

OREGON HIGH DESERT CLASSICS

2020

We all wanted a horse show this year.

So many events have been cancelled, and we all miss the excitement of hundreds of horses, riders, and trainers coming together to compete and celebrate the sport.

Unfortunately, regulations surrounding COVID-19 stands in the way.

Suit up and Strap in!

As our largest fundraiser of the year, the cancellation of The Oregon High Desert Classics is a painful loss to J Bar J Youth Services. We now fear serious hurdles in helping youth overcome obstacles to selfsufficiency.

We need to close the opportunity gap and continue our work with at-risk youth.

Central Oregon Dine11 and Pandemic Partners Bend team up to feed wildfire evacuees while supporting local restaurants

21 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 32 / SEPTEMBER 24, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

By Cayla Clark Courtesy Nancy Ps

Learn how to cook healthful meals.

Thrive Cooking Tutorial

Bellatazza and Nancy P's are two of the local restaurants that have teamed up to feed wildfire evacuees.

A

s the smoke clears and locals slowly return to their (COVID-era) day-today lives, many Central Oregonians remain displaced, distressed and without homes to return to—their lives upturned for the foreseeable future.

As a record-breaking 900,000 acres of Oregon land continued to burn this week, upward of 500,000 people remained under some form of evacuation order.

From the moment news of the fires spread, local business owners banded together to take action. Despite the fact that local restaurants have taken a major hit due to COVID-related restrictions, cafes and eateries like Bellatazza, Joolz, Nancy P’s and Terrebonne Depot joined together to serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and coffee.

“As soon as we learned that people needed help, we set to work,” explained Stewart Fritchman, owner of downtown Bend coffee shop, Bellatazza. “As a local restaurant community, we all joined together. We all have kitchens, we all have skills, but all of our restaurants have been getting clobbered by COVID. So, by asking for donations and getting funds from the general community, we can get meals made and delivered to those in need.”

Bellatazza changed the home page of its website to become a donation page, where individuals could donate between $5 and $100 to go directly to fire refugees.

“Donations could be in the form of gift cards; they could potentially go towards providing hot coffee to evacuees at First Presbyterian or providing hot coffee to those coming in from Detroit, coming in without a home. The local restaurant community has been putting together meals that are picked up by the Red Cross and taken to motels.”

What began as what Fritchman described as a “guerilla-style operation” has developed into something more widely accessible. The newly created web page, Dine11 Central Oregon, is a central location where people can donate as much as they’d like to feed wildfire evacuees, while helping local restaurants stay afloat.

“Dine11 is a nonprofit website hosted out of the Bay Area,” explained Morgan Schmidt, founder of the Facebook group Pandemic Partners Bend, which was developed to help locals affected by COVID-19. “The website was started at the beginning of the pandemic to help support medical workers. Cheryl Howard, program manager, Events & Volunteer Program at City of Bend, suggested we look into it as a way of helping Central Oregonians who were affected by the wildfires. Everyone wants to help so badly, but there hasn’t been a central hub for people to do that. We want to be able to give to these folks in an organized fashion.”

The Central Oregon branch of Dine11 officially launched Friday. “This is a great way to support and feed evacuees while supporting local restaurants and essential workers,” Schmidt said. “I hope this serves as a hub to feed folks who are hungry while supporting local businesses for a long time.” People can donate at dine11.org/centraloregon/ or sign up to volunteer. “We currently need volunteers to transport meals from local restaurants to evacuees in hotels or at the [Deschutes County] Fairgrounds,” Schmidt concluded.

Fritchman added that the local restaurant community has developed another way to support local while feeding those in need.

“We’re asking people to buy gift cards at their favorite restaurants, and then we’re taking these gift cards to the hotels where the evacuees are staying. The hotel manager will pick a gift card at random and hand it off to a family so that people can experience some sense of normalcy here in Bend; go out to eat, get a slice of pizza or go out for a cup of coffee. We’re waiting to get 105 gift cards, because that’s roughly how many evacuees we have staying in Bend. Cards can be dropped off at our downtown location.”

The holiday season is notorious for fatty foods and heavy meals; health isn’t typically in the picture. While tradition is sacred, it may be time to innovate your holiday menu for healthy eating. This October, Bend Adventist Fellowship will offer free culinary classes for plant-based holiday cooking. Participants can refine their cooking skills with hands-on learning opportunities, educational videos, weekly celebration meals and door prizes. The tutorials are offered the first three Sundays of the month from 1:30-5 pm and are limited to 20 participants.

SCREEN Technocracy Now

Unpacking "The Social Dilemma"

By Jared Rasic

so we can surf the Internet through our eyeballs. But why blame technology for that when it can only be programmed by humans? Blame Elon Musk. Blame surveillance capitalism and the unending quest for the maximization of profits.

In the film, former Google employee Tristan Harris describes emerging tech as a “simultaneous utopia and dystopia,” but blaming tech for that seems like a copout. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of very real, very scary stuff in this movie, but all the real power from “The Social Dilemma” comes not from the alarmist hand wringing, but when it focuses on the very real dangers inherent in polarization and the Facebook algorithm’s attempts at curating each user’s tastes.

Let’s say your uncle posts on Facebook about his belief that the Earth is flat. An algorithm sees that and says, “Oh, this guy believes the Earth is flat, let’s send some targeted info his way about Q-Anon, Pizzagate and how Tom Hanks is King of the Pedophiles.” But then you post something about your love of RBG, NPR and OPB, so that same algorithm fills your feed with more like-minded ideas and people.

Now you and your uncle are both existing in two separate echo chambers, unable to relate or empathize with each other because you’re ultimately being fed completely separate diets of information and news. Hence, we become so completely polarized that family members can become enemies without saying a word to each other.

His bandwidth must be fantastic to have that many open windows at the same time.

It’s only going to get worse. Technology isn’t going to go backward.

Deep fakes will look so real in five years that it will become impossible to tell the difference between actual fake news and reality. But here’s where the problem lies: deep fakes and algorithms aren’t born; they’re written by intelligent men and women, most of whom aren’t evil or driven to divide the world in half.

My fear is that reactionaries will watch “The Social Dilemma” and think it spells out that we must limit technology and ban all social media in general, because somehow that’s easier

than holding the tech giants accountable for what they do with the technology. Algorithms don’t have ethics, but Mark Zuckerberg does (or at least he’s supposed to). Musk, Amazon owner Jeff Bezos and their ilk are the problem—not Amazon itself, or Snapchat or Instagram.

But believe me, the irony of watching this movie streamed on Netflix is not lost on me.

VOLUME 24 ISSUE 32 / SEPTEMBER 24, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

here’s a lot to unpack in Jeff (“Chasing Ice”) Orlowski’s new documentary, “The Social Dilemma”—the least of which is whether any of its sobering and lucid information is going to reach the people that need to hear it the most. On the film’s most basic level, it focuses on different tech experts from Google, Facebook, Instagram and more sounding the alarm about where social media is most assuredly headed over the next few decades.

I don’t think it’s a secret anymore that social media can be bad for us, depending on how we interact with it. We’re all very aware that our data is being used to have our own interests marketed and sold right back to us within seconds. The information found throughout “The Social Dilemma” is mostly all things we’ve heard before— but compiled together in one easily digestible package makes it profoundly more alarming than I’ve ever thought it could be.

But there’s also a flip side that I don’t think “The Social Dilemma” explores as much as it could. Ultimately, how we are affected by the internet, and social media, in particular, is directly related to how we choose to use it ourselves. The technology itself isn’t inherently evil, and neither is social media, and clutching our pearls as we pine for the good old days is inherently useless and unhelpful.

Technology isn’t ever going to move backward; instead, it’s only going to get faster and smarter until Elon Musk finally starts selling us chips for our brains

Big Changes at Bachelor

As pandemic restrictions continue, Oregon’s biggest ski resort plans for reservation-only parking, limited indoor amenities for the winter season Brian Cripe / Wikimedia Commons

T

he shutdowns around COVID-19 forced Mt. Bachelor to close operations entirely for a time in the spring.

Since then, the resort has been open for mountain biking and its new zipline activities throughout the summer—with many new health and safety guidelines in place. Now, with winter approaching, Mt. Bachelor has announced its plans for the winter season, which include a lot of changes from previous years.

Among them: The need to reserve a parking spot in advance, a recommendation to use your own vehicle as a warming spot—rather than the lodges, and a pause on the resort’s child care and “Ski or Ride in 5” offerings. Also, no tubing, no beginner lessons, no lessons for kids age six and under, and everyone must wear a mask while in and around the resort. Mt. Bachelor plans to open to the public Dec. 7—provided there’s enough snow at all three of the resort’s lodges.

“Over the summer, the ski industry worked together in an unprecedented effort to develop a shared set of operation guidelines called Ski Well, Be Well,” wrote John McLeod, Mt. Bachelor’s president and general manager in a letter Sept. 16, “and both Mt. Bachelor and POWDR [Mt Bachelor’s parent company] were engaged in this important work facilitated by the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA).” Resort leaders say the focus this season is on a “Back to Basics” approach.

Tickets and season passes To aid in the mandated social distancing, Mt. Bachelor is limiting its single-day passes. “The number of single-day dated tickets we make available will be significantly limited and we are not planning to sell undated tickets, like in years past,” states Mt. Bachelor’s website. “We have increased the typical

Mt. Bachelor summit at the peak of winter.

number of blackout days on Ikon Base Pass visitation, 12-Day and 4-Day passes, and limited the sale of the 4-Day pass.”

Season passes are on sale now and go up in price after Sept. 30. Prices are comparable to recent years—though passholders from the 2019-20 season may still have a credit on their accounts from the resort’s closure in the spring.

"Passholder vouchers have been loaded into each passholder's guest profile account, so no action is required by passholders," explained Leigh Capozzi, brand and marketing director.

And anyone buying season or multiday tickets have access to the “Passholder Promise,” a voucher system that covers prolonged COVID-19-related closures, plus a 100% refund option through Nov. 20. Those looking to rent ski or snowboard gear at the resort will also have to reserve in advance.

Parking reservations Another big change: People visiting the resort will have to reserve a parking spot for their car. Mt. Bachelor plans to issue more information about the parking system in the coming weeks. "We are considering ALL scenarios," Capozzi said, "knowing that many passholders like to sneak in an early morning Cone lap, a few powder turns as the lifts open or an afternoon Nordic ski." As for the ski bus, Capozzi said Mt. Bachelor is working with Cascades East Transit to continue to offer the service this season.

Lessons and child care Lessons and child care this year are also greatly reduced. “To minimize contact, we will not offer any All-Day or daily group ski school lessons,” Mt. Bachelor’s website says. “Gravity Sports Pixabay

Bachelor season passes are on sale now and the price goes up after Sept. 30.

Ski and Ride School will offer modified half-day multi-week programs for kids and pre-booked private lessons. At this time, we will not offer beginner lessons or lessons for youth ages six and under.

We will also not be offering our Ski or Ride in 5 program this year or childcare services at our Daycare Center.”

Accessing the lodges “Minimizing indoor services” will be the name of the game this season.

As McLeod detailed, “Consistent in the early days of Mt. Bachelor, we expect and encourage guests to be prepared to be based out of their vehicles as a lodge this season, for booting up, warming up, and refueling up. While we will be offering some food service in our lodges, services will be simplified and occupancy will be limited, with the focus on preserving lodge capacity for quick warmups and/or restroom access.”

Season pass holders’ exclusive first days As a way of saying thank you to season passholders, Mt. Bachelor plans to reserve the first four days of the winter season—from Dec. 7 to Dec. 10— for those with season passes. And while the amenities and operations will be limited, the resort is keeping focus on what most are ultimately there for: Riding the snow. As McLeod stated, “Thankfully our mountain lends itself extremely well to dispersing crowds when we are able to open a majority of our lifts and terrain.”

Bottom line, pray for snow.

Kôr’s First Project Emerges from the Ground Kôrazon: Affordable, Goal-Net-Zero Cottage Housing

Housing Works of Central Oregon.

The homes, now visible from 27th Avenue, are 1,100 square feet, consisting of two bedrooms and two bathrooms. They are goal Net-Zero-energy homes, built to higher efficiency standards, with aspirations to produce enough renewable energy onsite to offset their energy usage.

This goal is dependent on future donations, to achieve the ability to afford solar panels and other necessary efficiency systems.

The owners of these homes were chosen through a lottery system and then passed through a vetting process. Homes will be sold to one middle-income household, three homes to low-income households, and one to a very low-income household. Based on the land trust model, homeowners will own the structures while the land trust HOA will own and maintain the land, leasing it at a very low cost.

Kôr is hosting a public open house at Kôrazon, at 21221 Hurita Place in Bend on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 11am to 3:30pm.

Meanwhile, Kôr has a second development in the works on NE 8th Street in Bend’s Orchard District, slated to begin construction in the spring. The need for land is urgent. Warren would like to stress that to continue this goal of providing affordable housing, finding new land for future projects is paramount.

As a nonprofit, they look to community members who are able to donate or sell land. Your land could provide a lasting legacy for the Bend community.

eing a real estate professional in today’s scorching real estate market and seeing home sale prices at an all-time high, the need for affordable housing is glaringly obvious.

Homeownership equals wealth and stability. More stable and wealthier households lead to more productive and healthier people, less dependent on medical services, mental health services and public assistance needs, and fostering neighborhoods with less crime. It’s a win-win for the whole community.

In Plato’s “Republic,” he says that our needs will be the real creator— loosely translated into the more familiar phrase, “necessity is the mother of invention.” Kôr Community Land Trust was born during a dining-room discussion between co-founders Amy Warren and Jason Offut, who asked the question, “How can we help the people who work in Bend, continue to live in Bend?” Drawing from observations of friends and peers moving away due to home prices climbing skyward and affordability becoming very difficult, “We noticed that school teachers could no longer buy a home, and service industry workers were having a harder and harder time trying to find housing,” comments Offutt.

That dinner conversation grew into what is now a thriving nonprofit with its flagship community, Kôrazon, well underway. Kôrazon is a cluster cottage community located on the east side of Bend off of SE 27th Avenue—a joint venture with

tive and affectionate when we’re together, but then he always falls off the grid. He’ll wait weeks before texting me to make plans again, and sometimes I have to initiate. What’s his deal, and how do I proceed? It’s a new relationship, so I’d feel too needy to tell him I want more attention.

--Yearning We have a term for a pleasant, attentive man who drops by from time to time and then isn’t seen for weeks, and no, it is not “boyfriend” but “UPS man.”

Some will say you should just ask for what you want: Hit the guy up for increased attention and presence like you’d hit up the Burgers R Us server for another thingie of mustard. However, we modern humans have an antique psychological operating system: psychology adapted for solving recurring mating problems for ancestral humans. So, responding to behavior without considering the underlying evolved motivation could get you in trouble, maybe even nuking your chances with a guy.

Evolutionary psychologists David Buss and David Schmitt find that humans opt for different “sexual strategies”: “short-term” (casual) or “longterm” (committed). Which strategy is activated depends on “context,” including factors like a person’s mate value (relative to their competition) and the stage of life they’re in.

Many men eventually want to settle down with a long-term partner. However, because for men, having sex does not lead to ye olde bun in the oven (and the need for a committed partner to help feed and shelter the child that results), they evolved to prioritize sexual variety and commitment-free sex. (All the better to spread more of their genes into future generations!) So, a “short-term sexual strategy” is generally optimal for men in a way it just isn’t for women.

Women, just like men, engage in casual sex. However, women’s emotions evolved to push them to seek commitment (and freak out and long for it when they perceive it isn’t there -- sometimes even when a woman knows she wants nothing more than a one-nighter from a guy). So, a woman might be relieved some himbo she dragged home is sneaking down the tree outside her bedroom window after sex but then wake up in the morning all, “How dare you?!” that he isn’t back under it, holding up a speaker attached to his iPhone, and trying to win her heart Cusack in “Say Anything”-style.

In men, a long-term sexual strategy -- being commitment-driven rather than sexual smorgasbord-driven -- can be triggered. Recall that sexual strategies are “context-dependent.” Wanting a family is one such context. But men will also commit when that’s what it takes to land a woman with high “mate value,” who can “afford” to hold out: commitment or goodbye.

Your immediate focus, however, should be on what you potentially have in common with a coke-obsessed lab rat. Psychologists find that “intermittent reinforcement” -- occasional, unpredictable “rewards,” like a guy who pops up unexpectedly from Amy Alkon time to time -- is the stuff obsessions are made of. (Poor little lab rats that push a bar and only sporadically get a hit of cocaine will often push the thing till they’re lying paws up in the corner of their cage.)

Contrast intermittent reinforcement with “regular reinforcement,” like a guy who’s always there for you.

When rewards come reliably and predictably rather than randomly and unpredictably, the suspense is gone.

The air goes out of the crazy, and you can relax and maybe even take Mr. Reliable for granted.

Becoming obsessed with a guy -even if you do your best to hide it -tends to send a message, and it isn’t, “I’m seriously high in mate value!” It also shifts your focus from learning who he is and what you might have together to the chase. All that matters is whether he’s called, when he might call, and how you might find a gig-economy sorcerer to cast a spell to make him call.

To avoid taking off on the crazy train, open your life up to other men.

This doesn’t have to mean swiping a new guy into your bed every night. You could be exploring your prospects in Zoom conversations, taking advantage of how the pandemic has slowed the pace of dating. Adding men on your end changes your emotional context from needy and desperate to “hope you come around, but if you don’t, plenty more where you came from.”

He may sense he has competition and change his strategy: start calling and coming around on the regular. Of course, maybe with the attention and commitment famine no longer a factor, you’ll end up with another guy -one who makes the relationship you two have feel like a dream as opposed to the last desert mirage you see before you collapse in the sand and are eaten by buzzards.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Seventy-nine-year-

gift, to know where you need to be, before you’ve been to all the places you don’t need to be.” Author Ursula K. Le Guin wrote that. I’m passing it on to you because I suspect you now possess the power to claim this rare gift. In the coming days, you don’t have to engage in endless evaluations of the numerous possibilities. You don’t have to risk falling victim to overthinking. Your clear, strong gut hunches will tell you exactly where you need to be and how to get there.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Novelist Henry Miller was in many ways a quintessential Capricorn. He described himself as being “in love with love, always in search of the absolute, always seeking the unattainable.” Feelings like those are why your astrological symbol is the mountain goat that’s always climbing higher, questing toward the next pinnacle. At your best, you’re determined to keep striving for the brightest, the strongest, the truest. Sometimes you overdo this admirable imperative, but mostly it’s a beautiful quality. You are hereby authorized to express it with maximum wisdom and eagerness in the coming weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Go catch a falling star,” wrote poet John Donne (1572–1631) in his poem “Song.” “Tell me who cleft the Devil’s foot,” he went on to say. “Teach me to hear the mermaids singing.” He wasn’t being literal, but rather was indulging in poetic fancy to stretch his readers’ imaginations. I’m offering you the spirit of Donne’s poem, Aquarius, because you’re ripe to transcend your limited notions about what’s plausible and implausible. If you allow yourself to get extravagant and unruly in your fantasies, you may crack through shrunken expectations and break into a spacious realm of novel possibilities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I don’t suggest you indulge daringly in sensual pleasures, cathartic exchanges of energy, and intoxicating pursuits of relief and release. The pandemic mandates us to be cautious about engaging in unmitigated bliss—even though the astrological omens suggest that if now were a normal time, such activities would be well worth focusing on. How can you resolve this dilemma? Possibilities: 1. Experiment zestfully with your live-in steady or spouse. 2. Get a COVID-19 test with a potential playmate, and if you both test negative, celebrate boisterously. 2.

Round up a dazzler with whom you can generate rapture via Zoom. 3. Fantasize about delightfully gracious debauchery. 4. Go solo.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Don’t let them tame you,” advised flamboyant Gemini dancer Isadora Duncan. Who did she mean by “them”? The mainstream critics, who might have wished she cultivated a less maverick style? Her managers and handlers, who may have wanted her to tone herself down so she could earn maximum amounts of money? Her friends, who cringed when she did things like dancing on a table wearing an evening dress at a party? In accordance with astrological omens, Gemini, I invite you to take a survey of what influences might wish you were more docile, mild, or manageable. And then meditate on how you could consistently express the healthiest kind of wildness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the Yoruba religion of Ifà, the English word “heart” has two different meanings and words. So says Yoruba priest Awó Falokun Fatunmbi. The first heart is the organ that pumps blood through our bodies. It’s called okàn. Within the okàn is the second heart: a power center that regulates the flow of emotions.

It’s called ègbè. I believe your ègbè will be exceptionally strong and clear and generous in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Your capacity to feel deeply and truly will be a gift to all those with whom you share it. It will also have the potential to enhance your appreciation for your own mysterious life.

Wield your ègbè with glee and panache!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ancient Greek philosopher Plato observed, “Do not train children to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.” The same principle applies to all of us adults who are committed to the goal of life-long learning. And according to my astrological analysis, it will be especially useful for you Leos to keep in mind during the coming weeks. It’s time to energize your education! And here’s the best way to gather the new teachings that are important for you to know: Follow what amuses your mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Christian author Frederick Buechner writes, “We are commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves, and I believe that to love ourselves means to extend to those various selves that we have been along the way the same degree of compassion and concern that we would extend to anyone else.” Let’s make his thought your keynote for the next two weeks. Now is an excellent time to take a journey through your past to visit all the other people you have been.

As you do attend to this poignant work, be generous with each of your old selves. Forgive them for their errors and praise their beauty. Tell them how much you love them. Thank them for how they have made possible the life you’re living now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.” Fantasy author Ursula K. Le Guin made that observation, and now I’m conveying it to you just in time for the season when you’ll need it most. Please note that I am not predicting you’ll be devoured by dragons from within. In offering you this oracle, my hope is that you will: 1. acknowledge the existence of metaphorical dragons; 2. locate where they hang out in your inner realms; 3. study them and get to know them better; 4. devise a strategy for dealing with them safely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “A single ego is an absurdly narrow vantage point from which to view the world,” wrote occultist Aleister Crowley.

Author Gore Vidal agreed, saying, “Since no one can ever know for certain whether or not his own view of life is the correct one, it is absolutely impossible for him to know if someone else’s is the wrong one.” All of us can perpetually benefit from this counsel. And it will be especially healthy for you to heed during the next four weeks. Humility will be a superpower. Blessings will flow your way if you don’t need to be right all the time. As you refrain from regarding your own opinions as God’s holy decrees, you will generate good fortune for yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “It takes a lot of courage to be the same person on the outside that you are on the inside.” Author Barbara De Angelis made that observation. I offer it up to you as a fun challenge. During the coming weeks, you may be strongly tempted to be different on the outside than you are on the inside. On the other hand, you’ll have the necessary insight and valor to remain unified. In fact, you may ultimately create more congruence between your inside and outside than you have in a long time.

old Libran poet Robert Pinsky has had a triumphant life. He has published 19 books, including his own poems and essays, as well as translations of Italian and Polish poetry. For four years he served as the United States Poet Laureate. To what factors does he attribute his success? Here’s one: “Whatever makes a child want to glue macaroni on a paper has always been strong in me,” he testifies. He’s referring to the primitive arts-and-crafts projects he enjoyed while growing up. In accordance with astrological omens, I encourage you, too, to get in touch and commune with the primal roots of the things you love to do. Reconnect with the original expressions of your passion for life.

Fresh Hopes, Fresh Hops

Local beers to take home, celebrating the hop harvest

By Nicole Vulcan

I

t’s that time of year—summer turning to fall, the leaves changing, and in beer-land, time to enjoy the fresh-hop beers found in abundance right now. Instead of relying only on hops that have been dried and pressed into pellet form, during this time of year, brewers include hops that come right from the hop “bine.”

Yes, it tastes fresher—and it’s one tradition we can still rely on during this ongoing global pandemic.

Nearly every local brewery is serving up some type of fresh hop goodness right about now—but here are some you can get in a bottle or can, to enjoy in the comfort of your socially distanced abode. Most of these are already on offer—but none will last long.

Bend Brewing Company has two versions of its Fresh Trop Fresh Hop IPA on offer in cans right now.

Beer geeks can delight in discerning the distinct flavors that come from either the Simcoe or Mosaic versions of this brew.

Crux Fermentation Project isn’t serving up its Off the Fence Fresh Hop this year, after all—the brewery nixed that idea when its harvest was stymied by hazardous smoke.

The brewery announced the decision Sept. 18, in the midst of all that nasty air that was settled over Bend. However, its Sabro Fresh Hop Hazy IPA is available in cans.

Deschutes Brewery’s to-go freshhop offerings this year include Chasin’ Freshies IPA, available in cans.

Get all fresh with your favorite local brews.

McMenamins Old St. Francis School is serving up its Thundercone Fresh Hop Ale, featureing Citra hops, in cans.

RiverBend Brewing has its hazy IPA, Millenials Hate Centennials (Millennials spelled wrong on purpose, apparently) in cans.

Silver Moon Brewing features its Hydrosphere Fresh Hop IPA, featuring Strata hops, in cans.

Three Creeks Brewing is featuring its Cone Lick’r Fresh Hop IPA in cans, with Centennial hops.

Wild Ride Brewing gives us some fresh-hop love in bottles with its Journey to a New Strata-Sphere Fresh Hop IPA, featuring, you guessed it— Strata hops.
