This week’s feature story highlighting the story of a Sept. 11 survivor was a collaborative effort on the part of a number of people from the Source Weekly team. Occasional contributor in the Outside section, Linda English (aka Gravel Girl) introduced us to Chuck Allen, her friend and a somewhat recent transplant who was in the North Tower when the plane hit. Reporter Jack Harvel shares Allen’s story starting on page 10. Allen also brought us the artwork from his friend, Bill Reinhold, a career “inker” and “penciler”—aka comic book artist—who was inspired to create the artwork featured on this week’s cover after the attacks. Our videographer/photographer Darris Hurst then took photos and interviewed Allen, creating a video which we’ve added to the online version of the story. As we approach the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks this week, it meant a lot to our entire team to be able to highlight this story in a “localized” way.

Back in 2001, much focus was placed on the bravery of the firefighters and first responders who went into those buildings—some of whom never came out. I can’t help but draw parallels to the happenings of today, when our first responders and medical professionals are walking into the fray of COVID-19 every day. May we offer them the same grace and praise and conciliation that we extended 20 years ago.

Thanks for reading!

OPINION

Bend’s Loss in Court Shouldn’t Stop It From Trying Again to Use Tourism Promotion Dollars Creatively

L

ast month, the Oregon Court of Appeals sided with local hoteliers and the Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association, who argued that the City of Bend violated state law when it tried to get creative with the way it spends room tax dollars. Under a state law established in 2003, the City of Bend is obligated to allocate no less than 35.4% of the money it collects from hotels and other short-term rentals on tourism promotion or tourism-related facilities. In 2018, the City tried to reduce that amount to 30%.

Back in 2018, keeping up with road maintenance was a big source of concern for local people (my, how our priorities have changed since then), so the City, to sum it up, aimed to interpret “tourism-related facilities” as “fixing roads for tourists (and others).” That didn’t fly with the local judge tasked with ruling on the lawsuit, and it didn’t fly with the Court of Appeals this year, either. Now, the City must return the money to its rightful place.

As time goes on and Bend grows, local people appear to be far less interested in the notion of any “tourism promotion” for Bend—which routinely makes it onto top-10 lists for the fastest growing city or the top sporting town in the nation, among other accolades. But the inclusion of the term “tourism-related facilities” in the mix means there are still opportunities to go beyond the traditional advertising or marketing campaigns. Our editorial board has long advocated for a more creative interpretation of what we should be able to do with “tourism promotion” dollars, and we hope the City’s loss in court will not make its leaders shy away from other attempts. Bend Mayor Sally Russell told another media outlet that she and the rest of the Bend City Council are looking at other ways to use the money on tourism-related facilities, such as improving parts of downtown or adding public restrooms. As we have

advocated for in the past, we believe another interpretation may lie in tourism-related housing.

Right now, many local employers are hoping the recent expiration of the $300 federal unemployment insurance bonus will mean that workers who have been receiving the bonus will once again go back to work. Economists caution employers not to get too excited, and to expect the return of workers to happen slowly as those past UI recipients spend down savings. But there’s another factor at play here in Bend that’s adding to the worker shortage: The fact that some workers can no longer afford to live here, with rising rents and a skyrocketing median home price. Jobs in the hospitality industry often pay lower wages than other fields—and when worker shortages translate into a diminished experience for tourists, you can bet it will have an effect on the local economy.

With that in mind, the interpretation of “tourism-related facilities” in Bend should go further than bathrooms (though those are also welcome). Building a hospitality-worker dormitory or apartment complex could very well fall under the banner of “tourism-related facility,” for example. The City already owns land in and around Bend that it’s eyeing for a houseless village or two.

It could also eye some of that land for more permanent housing for some of Bend’s lowest-paid workers, if leaders had the gumption and foresight.

While the City of Bend has gotten an expensive slap on the wrist for its attempt at using its room tax dollars for something other than tourism promotion, we’re encouraged to see that its leaders are not shying away from trying another interpretation. The housing crisis—already massive before the pandemic, and now only that much worse— is affecting the health, safety and overall prosperity of Bend, and it requires bold and creative leadership, not afraid to try and try again, to help fix it.

“Code Red for humanity!”, the latest message from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issues a deadly warning. Scientists urge a doubling of effort, by 2030 and beyond. Is Oregon’s response enough? Gov. Brown’s executive order 20-04 showed a solid path forward directing state agencies to protect our climate. Recently the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality issued its Draft rules for a Climate Protection Program. Some climate advocates have grave concerns that DEQ’s CPP will fall short of what’s needed to avoid catastrophic consequences.

As wildfires consume our state, killing people and livelihoods, Oregonians understand the urgency. The majority demands bold actions if we are to avoid this growing crisis. Climate pollution threatens our agriculture, forests, oceans and life as we know it. The Climate Protection Advocates, a coalition of 23 organizations representing scientists, tribes and nonprofits from both rural and urban Oregon, are urging Gov. Brown to insist that DEQ step up their efforts.

As science calls for accelerated emission reductions, the Climate Advocates believe that DEQ must act similarly. Dr Alan Journet, co-facilitator of Southern Oregon Climate Action Now, states: “Now is not the time for half-hearted proposals; we must acknowledge the urgency and induce massive emissions reductions and carbon sequestration.”

The advocates question whether DEQ will actually be able to achieve what it proposes. Their most serious concern is the flawed requirements for industrial polluters, the biggest polluters in the state. These include natural gas pipelines, paper mills, chemical and cement manufacturers. These polluters dump their waste into our environment, causing global warming. The Climate Advocates believe that these polluters should reduce their contribution to the problem.

This fatal flaw will hurt vulnerable

communities, as it impacts the health of these communities who often live close to these sources.

The advocates also suggest that the significant increase in “Renewable Natural Gas” in the Climate Protection Program will increase emissions and energy costs. Like fossil gas, RNG emits methane, a greenhouse gas that is more potent than CO2. Yet, DEQ lacks a plan to regulate the methane leaks from pipelines that carry fossil gas and RNG. One positive proposed by DEQ is the CCI or Community Climate Investment Fund, which allows fossil fuel suppliers to buy credits if they are unable to reduce emissions sufficiently. These credits, or CCI’s could fund pollution-reducing projects throughout Oregon. However, if not closely regulated, they also could provide an excuse to pollute. This would compromise overall emission reductions and harm vulnerable communities.

The Climate Protection Advocates urge Gov. Brown to require state agencies to live up to the charge in her 2020 Executive Order. They say that we have only one chance to get this right! Let’s do it now!

undoubtedly come under intense attack.

Much of the reasoning is deeply flawed.

It is said that masks don’t work. Curiously, every caregiver in every operating room on earth wears a mask to maintain a sterile environment. It seems odd that they would all engage in a useless practice.

It is said that mandating masks is an infringement on personal freedom. Virtually all laws are infringements on personal freedom. Simply put, your freedom ends at my well-being. This is a basic principle of a functioning society.

It is said that mandating masks violates the Constitution. The notion that anyone has the Constitutional right to endanger anyone else’s child is preposterous, and won’t be found anywhere therein. It is obvious that a mask mandate is an attempt to “promote the general welfare.” This idea appears in the first sentence of the Constitution where the reasons for the document’s very existence are enumerated.

I commend the School Board for having the compassion to try to protect all of our children from this insidious disease, the clarity to see a path forward, and the courage to maintain course despite the continual earsplitting clatter so prevalent on the other side.

We, the voters, have chosen well.

—Jonathan Davidson

MANAGED CAMP Many recent articles have created a vision of what a “managed camp” looks like visually and conceptually that are not necessarily correct. As an example, the proposed Oasis Village in Redmond will be a fenced and gated area where several tiny bedrooms will be placed for our guests to live

in relative comfort and safety. The site will also provide shower and toilet units as well as meeting and consultation space and a fenced dog run. Each guest will be screened before they are admitted and they will be required to sign a “contract” to help support the village and to make themselves available to the medical and personal counseling services in order to improve their condition and to re-enter society as quickly as possible or advance to transitional shelter such as Bethlehem Inn or Shepherd’s House.

A shelter/safe parking area can set criteria for those being served from the working poor with families to the chronically homeless to veterans to senior citizens, etc. Each category or level of homelessness carries its distinct and unique challenges and is generally created for a specific clientele.

As a result, some shelters may house nurses and public servants who simply cannot find or afford proper living spaces.

In today’s society, a significant number of homeless people actually have jobs but cannot afford to keep a roof over their heads and maintain transportation or day care in order to get to and from work. Shelters/safe parking can be efficiently, safely and holistically operated while being positive and contributing factors in any community.

Managing Camps and Public Opinion WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

A proposed managed camp for unhoused people caused a stir among neighboring homeowners and educators. But could it work?

By Jack Harvel

P

roposals by the City of Bend to create two managed houseless camps received ample pushback from neighboring homeowners, businesses and educators at nearby schools. The issue came up during the Bend City Council’s regular meeting Aug. 18.

The City whittled possible sites down to a City-owned parcel off of NE Ninth Street north of Bridgeford Boulevard, and another on SE Third Street south of Murphy Road and the Les Schwab Tire Center. The Ninth Street location proved more controversial due to its proximity to Bend High School, Bear Creek Elementary and Coyner Trail.

Matt Craven, a teacher and head football coach at Bend High, said 122 faculty and staff at Bend High and Bear Creek signed a letter opposing the camps.

“I can tell you in 25 years I’ve never been able to garner 122 signatures in only—I think we did it in 20 hours,” Craven said.

Signatories argued that the area is heavily trafficked by students going to and from school. The Coyner Trail is often used by extracurricular sports teams. The proposed site is also within view of school outdoor areas. The 122 signatories urge the City to choose a different site and study its effect over several years before allowing one near schools.

“We believe that taking the risk of putting the first-ever homeless camp that’s been tried in between the two schools is too great a risk for everyone involved in our community,” said Lisa Karnopp Nye, a teacher and cross-country coach at Bend High. “So, we would like to see—if the City of Bend does make the decision to pursue homeless camps—we would like to see it happen

in a different location, and then assess what the impacts are, what it’s about, and then take that information and that research and evaluate whether or not that’s a good idea to put it between, or next to, any school.”

The managed camps would ideally be publicly owned, house 15 to 25 people on 1 to 2 acres, have perimeter markings like fences or walls, access to water, a street address and proximity to transit and social services. The City aims to find an organization to manage the camp by the end of September and to open it before winter, when low temperatures present a greater danger to unhoused communities.

The proposed camps would be 1-2 year temporary sites and fold into the City’s broader goals for unhoused services, including a navigation center and Project Turnkey-funded motel renovations. City of Bend Economic Development Director Carolyn Eagan said the City-owned property on Ninth Street, though not ideal in its surroundings, is the City’s fastest option in establishing a managed camp because it is cityowned and won’t require negotiations with other governments.

“We know that this is not an ideal site; it’s in a neighborhood, but we are trying to figure out how we can really convert this site in the shortest amount of time into a safe place for people to stay,” Eagan said during City Council’s regular meeting on Sept. 2.

Eagan said many of the questions regarding how the camp will operate can best be answered after the City puts out a request for proposal for service providers, who must have experience managing camps, coordinated entry systems, Jack Harvel

A vision for villages, with Bend’s former police chief at the helm Central Oregon Villages received a grant from the state for emergency housing solutions, including the creation of a village for unhoused people.

It’s awaiting the City’s RFP and its organizers haven’t volunteered the nonprofit to manage the proposed camp—but they do have a model for a managed camp based largely around Square One’s Opportunity Village out of Eugene, which will help establish the village.

The group worked together informally since 2019 coordinating services like clean water, laundry truck services, mail boxes services, and food deliveries to unhoused people. In February COV defined its mission and in June applied for nonprofit status.

“We are modeling ourselves after their model, and the reason we are is

neighbors would have to demonstrate progress toward goals and participate in the camp’s management.

“They will be allowed in, but they have to immediately conform to the key points of the camp is number one, no alcohol or drug abuse, no bullying, no physical fighting,” Porter said. “The last entry level that I’m going to talk to on specific is no sex offenders, or child offenders will be allowed within the camp.”

Porter is sympathetic to parent’s concerns but believes a well-managed camp would look much differently than imagined.

“I believe these people are envisioning Hunnel Road being dropped into their neighborhood. If I thought that was a fact, and it was coming into my neighborhood, I’d probably be standing beside those people, I’d be standing right there with those teachers saying that this is unacceptable,” Porter said.

“I truly understand why they’re concerned, and I don’t blame them. But that is not what we as a group are envisioning, nor is what we’ve adopted as our operating policy.”

Noticias en Español Un campamento controlado propuesto para personas sin hogar causó revuelo entre los vecinos y los maestros. Pero, ¿podría funcionar?

Por Jack Harvel / Traducido por Jéssica Sánchez-Millar “Les puedo decir que en 25 años nunca había podido reunir 122 firmas en tan solo… creo que lo hicimos en 20 horas,” dijo Craven.

Los signatarios sostuvieron que la zona es muy transitada por los estudiantes que van y vienen de la escuela. El sendero Coyner a menudo lo utilizan equipos deportivos. El sitio propuesto también está a la vista de las áreas al aire libre de la escuela. Los 122 signatarios recomiendan a la ciudad elegir un sitio diferente y analizar su efecto con el paso de los años antes de permitir la ubicación de un campamento cerca de las escuelas.

Lo ideal sería que los campamentos controlados fueran propiedad pública, dichos campamentos albergarían de 15 a 25 personas en un campo de 1 a 2 acres, tendrían perímetros marcados con cercas o bardas, acceso al agua, a una dirección y cercanía a zonas de tránsito y a servicio social. La ciudad tiene como objetivo encontrar para finales de septiembre una organización que administre el campamento y abrirlo antes que llegue el invierno, cuando las bajas

temperaturas presentan un riesgo más alto para las comunidades sin hogar.

Los campamentos propuestos serían sitios temporales y se incorporarían objetivos más amplios de parte de la cuidad para los servicios relacionados a la falta de vivienda, incluyendo el centro de navegación y el Project Turnkey –renovación de moteles financiados. La directora de desarrollo económico de la ciudad de Bend, Carolyn Eagan, dijo que la propiedad de la ciudad sobre la calle nueve, aunque nos es la ideal para su entorno, es la opción más rápida para la ciudad para establecer un campamento controlado ya que es propiedad de la ciudad y no se requiere de negociaciones con otros gobiernos.

“Sabemos que este no es el sitio ideal, está en un vecindario, pero estamos tratando de ver cómo podemos convertir en poco tiempo a este sitio en un lugar seguro para que la gente se establezca ahí,” dijo Eagan.

Eagan dijo que muchas de las preguntas relacionadas a cómo se manejará el campamento se pueden responder mejor después que la ciudad presente

una solicitud de propuesta a los prestadores de servicios, quienes deben tener experiencia dirigiendo campamentos, coordinando los sistemas de entrada, la población atendida y las reglas y normas que rigen a los acampantes.

El exjefe de policía de Bend, Jim Porter, quien se jubiló el año pasado, es presidente de la organización sin fines de lucro Central Oregon Villages (COV por sus siglas en inglés). La organización sin fines de lucro recibió una subvención para apoyar a la población sin hogar, incluyendo la creación de una aldea para personas sin hogar. COV está esperando la solicitud de propuestas antes de seguir adelante con los planes relacionados a la administración del campamento propuesto.

“Estamos dispuestos a disminuir la mayor cantidad posible de las preocupaciones que tiene nuestra comunidad y la manera en la que siempre hemos hablado sobre como disminuir un conjunto de inquietudes es a través del proceso de solicitud de propuesta, el cual identificará a un gerente primario para la ubicación,” dijo Eagan.

as propuestas de la ciudad de Bend para crear dos campamentos controlados para personas sin hogar recibieron amplia oposición de parte de los vecinos, los comercios y los maestros de escuelas cercanas. Este asunto surgió durante la junta habitual del consejo municipal de la ciudad de Bend el 18 de agosto.

La cuidad redujo el número de sitios posibles a una parcela, propiedad de la ciudad ubicada sobre la calle 9, al noroeste de la ciudad y al norte del boulevard Bridgeford; el otro sitio ubicado sobre la calle 3, en el suroeste de la ciudad, al sur de la calle Murphy Road y de la tienda central de llantas Les Schwab.

La ubicación de la calle 9 demostró ser más controversial debido a la cercanía con la escuela preparatoria Bend High, la escuela primaria Bear Creek y el sendero Coyner.

Matt Craven, maestro y entrenador principal de fútbol americano de Bend High, dijo que 122 maestros y empleados de Bend High y Bear Creek firmaron una carta en contra de los campamentos.

Most were working at the operation to work off personal or family debts owed to a cartel in Jalisco, Mexico” —Kent van der Kamp where they found over 9,000 marijuana plants in over 40 greenhouses, 2,800 pounds of processed marijuana, an AR-15 rifle and two pistols. Twenty-one people were detained and released at the scene and one was arrested but released with citations. A press release from the Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Office said, “Detectives expect arrests

The Sheriff ’s Office noted that illegal marijuana grows can disrupt water sources for other neighbors.

Over 49 greenhouses containing over 9,000 marijuana plants at various growth stages, over 2,800 pounds of processed marijuana and three firearms were confiscated from a cartel-operated farm in Alfalfa, according to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.

“Since the beginning of DCIME, investigators have found illegal marijuana grows diverted or stolen significant water from nearby homes, commercial farms, or directly from pumps connected to underground sources in the arid central Oregon high desert,” a press release from the Sheriff ’s Department said. “This particular grow site used underground water and maintained a complex watering system

that supplied several on-site 15,00020,000 gallon cisterns.”

DCSO also said the site was using pesticides that could threaten residential water supplies and that the electrical system was hazardously assembled in a way that made it susceptible to fire.

Record High COVID Cases In Oregon

COVID cases and hospitalizations soar—largely among unvaccinated people

By Jack Harvel Courtesy Churehill/Wikimedia Commons

Available intensive care unit hospital beds shrank to their lowest number since the COVID-19 pandemic began amid a current surge of delta variant cases.

O

regon COVID cases and hospitalizations are exceeding pandemic highs. Only 57 of Oregon’s 883 ICU beds are available when this story went to print.

“The delta variant continues to ravage communities across Oregon, our hospitals are scrambling to avoid being overtopped by record numbers of COVID-19 patients,” said Dr. Dean Sidelinger, Oregon State Health Officer, in a video for the Oregon Public Health Division. “Daily cases and hospitalizations and sadly, recently, deaths associated with COVID-19 have been hovering at or near pandemic highs over the past several weeks.”

Sidelinger said the upward trend will continue unless more people get vaccinated and indoor mask mandates are followed. Currently 73.1% of Oregonians are either fully vaccinated or have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and a mask mandate for all indoor public spaces and outdoors where distancing isn’t possible went into effect on Aug. 27.

“Our hospitals have reached the saturation point; our health systems are not able to provide the care to everyone arriving at their doors. That means fewer beds for anyone who experiences a medical incident, be it a broken leg, a heart attack or injuries from a car crash,” Sidelinger said. “Needed surgeries and procedures are being delayed and it’s the breaking point we have all dreaded and one that we must avoid.”

Over 98% of current cases are from the Delta Variant, according to OHA, and hospitalizations are largely made up of unvaccinated people.

“An overwhelming majority of patients with COVID-19 filling these beds are unvaccinated,” Sidelinger said. “I cannot be more direct, this is a crisis that is largely being driven by people who have not yet been vaccinated for COVID-19.”

Analysis from Oregon Health Science University predicted cases would peak on Sept. 6 before easing back down. In the meantime, hundreds of National Guardsmen are stationed at 20 Oregon hospitals to assist during the surge.

On September 11, 2001, now-Bendite Chuck Allen had to scramble down more than 80 stories and run from plumes of smoke before the nightmare was over

By Jack Harvel

Graphic warning: This story contains some graphic details of the carnage of the September 11 attacks.

W

hen Chuck Allen arrived for work on September 11, 2001, he made the arduous trip to his office in the North Tower of the World Trade Center in Manhattan. It usually took about 10 minutes to get to his office after stepping in the front door, taking the elevators to the sky lobby on floor 78 and transferring to an elevator that had access to his office on the 83rd floor. Allen had started with the company, Lava Trading, eight months earlier, after spending 22 years working in the Middle East.

When Allen got to his floor his company’s CEO was standing by the elevator, deciding between going to a financial conference at Windows on the World, on the 101st floor, or to visit with client Merrill Lynch. He made the life-saving decision to see the client.

“Well, of course, if he had gone to the Windows on the World, he would have been killed. Nobody, nobody survived above the, probably above the 90th floor,” Allen said. “Then he said, ‘Look after the company while I’m gone,’ something along those lines, which I thought was kind of ironic, considering what happened.”

Among the 18 coworkers Allen shared an office with, he was the only one who heard the plane before it hit the tower. In an instant, the impact shook the whole

building, people were knocked off their feet, light fixtures were hanging, the glass windows were cracked, with liquids trickling down from above, and Allen could smell fumes from fuel. He watched as debris from the higher floors fell, and, using the narrow window and the Hudson River as orientation points, saw the tower was swaying.

“My first conscious thought is, ‘Oh, the building’s going over,’ because I could very visually see the swaying against the

workers in their office, but it eventually cleared and people moved into the hallway. Allen was the last one out, and wondered if he should check any offices, specifically a large office for General Telecom, but figured they had already evacuated.

“The people at General Telecom had called down and actually reached a person at the Port Authority, who had told them stay where you are, emergency per-

“I suddenly kind of heard this background roar, rumbling and vibration, and it didn’t register right away, except what I did notice was odd is all these people were running towards me, I’m looking this way. They’re running towards me.”

—Chuck Allen river line,” Allen said. “I couldn’t physically feel it, but you could see it.”

Allen said he kept a relatively level head in the aftermath. During his 23 years in the Middle East he’d seen several acts of terror.

“I had a friend killed in a hijacking.

We lived right across the street from the American Embassy in Kuwait when it was bombed; our windows were all blown out,” he said. “You tend to have a more fatalistic attitude, I think, just having lived around that kind of violence.”

A fire momentarily stranded the

sonnel will come up and escort you out,” Allen said. “They all died. Nobody ever escorted them out.”

Allen joined his coworkers and made his way toward an infrequently used stairwell that mostly served as a smoking room for a group of day traders who worked on the floor.

“We join the crowd. Now our floor, empty silence. Quiet. There’s no klaxons going off, no flashing lights, none of the stuff that’s supposed to happen when a big bad thing like this happens, just quiet.

We get into the stairwell; the stairwell is packed. And there were people also with injuries and burns being brought down from further above us. But the thing that really hit me when I hit the stairwell was the fumes,” Allen said. “That stairwell was so bad. I mean, I ran marathons and half marathons in those days; I was really, really fit, and I’m looking at all these people, I was thinking to myself, I’m not sure I can breathe this stuff very long.”

The fumes seemed to dissipate. People in the stairwell attempted to call loved ones but couldn’t with the concrete and steel casing of the stairwell, an oversaturated cell network and the busted antennae that stood on top of the north tower. At about the 30th floor Allen saw firemen going the opposite direction. They eventually made it to Allen’s floor, evacuating two bankers who had stayed before moving even higher in the tower.

“Some woman was on 89 and firemen got to her and got her out of there,” Allen said. “I cannot tell you—89 floors on a building like that going up is herculean. I mean, it’s just staggering. And of course, the firemen never got out themselves, but they got people out.”

Allen’s group hit a dead end at the bottom of the stairwell. They backtracked to the sky lobby, transferred into a different stairwell and continued their descent. Finally, after over an hour in the stairwells they reach the mezzanine.

“Suddenly there’s people and police and shouting. And it was just such a dichotomy because you’re going from a relatively slow moving, quiet environment. And now there’s chaos and glass everywhere, the mezzanine windows are all broken out. This is the first time we actually start seeing real chaos,” Allen said.

Debris and bodies were scattered across the floor, including people who were in the planes when they hit the tower.

“I couldn’t understand why they were all wearing the same belt. It just struck me as odd. And I didn’t realize actually until later, those were seat belts,” Allen said.

Once outside, Allen asked a police officer what happened. He assumed there had been some kind of accident, and didn’t know that a second plane had hit the South Tower 17 minutes after the initial attack.

“I’ve lived around terrorist activities for many years, and it never even occurred to me until that moment when the cop says, ‘We think it was terrorism.’

And I’m thinking Oh, and, of course, what was I thinking?” he said.

Allen crossed the street and started figuring out where to go from there. He felt a rumble underneath, which he thought was a subway passing underground but was actually the tower collapsing.

“I suddenly heard this background roar, rumbling and vibration, and it didn’t register right away, except what I did notice was odd is all these people were running towards me, I’m looking this way. They’re running towards me,” Allen said. “Now this giant, I mean, humongous cloud of dust is starting to roll through between these buildings across this Plaza area that we’re in. And

Chuck Allen stands with coworkers years after many of them survived the September 11 attacks.

now I’m deciding yes, going the other way is a really good idea.”

Allen called his wife and told her he was all right before the second tower fell. She feared the worst after not hearing from him and seeing footage of the attack.

“I finally reached my wife, who had decided I was dead. Because she’s seen the pictures on the TV, and there’s just a hole and she can’t reach me, and she hasn’t heard from me. And so, she was

actually on the phone with her sister, I think, when I got through, and I told her, 'I’m out of the building. I’m OK. I’ll call you when I have a chance,'” he said.

Allen trekked for 3.5 miles to Grand Central Station and was able to catch the only outbound train after the attacks. Afterward, trains, bridges and other buildings closed after a slew of bombing threats shut down Manhattan.

Allen said his first visceral reaction to surviving the attack came weeks later, Courtesy of Chuck Allen

Chuck Allen’s desk at his office on the 83rd floor of the World Trade Center. “I thought to myself, well, they probably won’t let us back in the building this afternoon, So, I better take my backpack,” he recalled thinking after the first plane struck.

when watching a news report of how the planes hit the building.

“When you shove the throttles forward and particularly if you’re not a very well-trained pilot, the nose goes up. Had he not done that we would have been done,” Allen said. “That was the the first time I really had an emotional reaction to the whole thing because I realized we were seconds away from just being obliterated had this guy not shoved the throttles forward.”

Allen stayed with the company afterward, rebuilding nearly from scratch after the loss of all the infrastructure they relied on, their records and all of their emails. CitiGroup bought the company in 2005, and Allen became the chief technology officer for Citigroup’s global equity finance. He retired, and eventually moved to Bend to become the managing director of a company called Soar Oregon, a nonprofit seeking to develop the drone industry in the state. He fell in love with the area and “all the Bend stuff” like biking and skiing.

He said one thing he takes away from surviving 9/11 is to keep moving forward, and not dwell on what’s happened in the past.

“I think one of the things that 9/11 did for a lot of us is it inspired a more optimistic mentality. And the only thing that you’ve got going for you is what’s in front of you, not what’s behind you,” Allen said. “So I think that there’s a deeper impact of the events of that day, that aren’t really encapsulated in the way we can describe the actual things that happen. Because I think it affects your way of thinking and your way of living on a subconscious level.”

SOUND

Kanye vs. Drake, and the highlights in music from the month of August

Sourc e Mat erial

Drake and Kanye West are two of the biggest names in the music world. When it was discovered that the two would be releasing albums within a week of each other, the hype around the battle was rising on social media. While hopefuls looked on, yearning for a similar matchup to the likes of West versus 50 Cent in the summer of 2007, the feeling was nothing near.

While there is undoubtedly bad blood between the two artists, the stakes aren’t as high as ‘07, and this isn’t a battle of beasts at their peaks. One is probably the biggest star in music over the last decade, and the other has found himself stumbling over releases for the past five. I’ll let you figure out who’s who here.

Regardless of who you think may have the better album, the truth is that both were plagued with their own underwhelming moments and less-than-flattering lyrics. Just because there’s a lot of talk around the releases doesn’t make them great—and we can’t recreate history just because it would be something cool to see again. I’m not sure there will ever be another moment like “Graduation” versus “Curtis,” considering what it did for hiphop stylistically and how it foretold the shift in popular rap music. And Drake’s “Certified Lover Boy ‘’ versus Kanye’s “Donda” was definitely not that moment. Both albums were fine, though, and sometimes there isn’t anything deeper to it than that.

In other news, plenty of other great music was released this past month from artists who deserve some love. Check out these local, regional and national highlights in this edition of Source Material.

LOCALS' BIN

‘The Best We’ve Got’ — Threshing Floor Originally recorded on a boombox in the 1980s, Threshing Floor was a young band made of Rand Berke (guitar/vocals), Mark Wagner (bass/vocals), Eric Moser (guitar) and Mike Ruiz (drums). Berke, who now lives in Bend, has spent most of his quarantine time digging through old music and doing his best r Courtesy Threshing Floo to remaster the old tracks into a digital format. “The Best We’ve Got” is six tracks pulled from a time capsule that could very well hold up today. With catchy guitar riffs and a nice mix of rock and Americana, it’s clear that Threshing Floor was onto something in those early days of playing. Sure, you can still tell it was recorded on a boombox originally, but it adds this garage-rock quality to the project that is honestly pretty cool.

Five For The Rotation “JUNO” - BLACKSTARKIDS “Start Again” - Vistas “From The River” - Meekoh “Perfect World” — BRNDA “Yeah!” Oscar Lang

Biehl

REGIONAL GEM

‘Don’t Know What I Am’ — Alien Boy

I only have one piece of advice to give you when listening to this album: turn up the volume. The second album from Portland’s Alien Boy is meant to be heard at high levels, and it provides solid levels of angst. Guitarist and vocalist Sonia Weber pulls back the curtain as she sheds some vulnerability both lyrically and in her Boy n Alie Courtesy singing style, letting the feelings come through. “Don’t Know What I Am” is a unique brand of shoegaze filled with distorted vocals and instruments, but the foursome still dishes out catchy choruses that will get you head banging with its harder edge.

NATIONAL BEATS

Motor Function EP — Binki Binki (Baraka Ongeri) is one of the best finds I heard for the first time this year. Born in Pennsylvania and a former theater student at the University of North Carolina, Binki’s sound seems to be cut from a direct line to the likes of Channel Tres, Tyler, the Creator and even Kanye West.

“Motor Function,” the young artist’s first EP, is four rock -and hip-hop-fueled tracks that are perfectly paired with a skate sesh or a final summertime cruise. The opener, “Clay Pigeon,” is one of my favorite songs of the year.

ometimes, we human beings like to believe we are independent. That may be the silliest idea we could ever entertain.

A few years ago, my wife Wendy and I bought a new, used car—a 2014 Nissan Murano. We loved it from the moment it backed off the truck and landed in our ever-grateful possession.

Smooth riding, decent gas mileage, a cool bronze color, all-wheel drive, seat heaters to die for and even a steering wheel warmer that brings joy to every winter drive. The perfect car in every way imaginable—except one.

We are kayakers, and when we put our old kayak rack on the top of our new Murano, we couldn’t reach high enough to get them on. It was a sad moment.

Our total dependency on a proper-height vehicle smacked us in the gut.

We were now kayak-less kayak lovers.

Wendy did the research and found a rack called the Hullavator made by Thule.

It’s made for people like us who are too short and or too old to reach their beloved kayaks. We looked online, and like so much recreational gear these days, they were nowhere to be found. COVID-19 has impacted both the supply and the demand. More people want to get outside and enjoy the mask-less natural world and fewer people are showing up to work to manufacture them. Two months wait?

Four months? No one really could predict.

“Sold Out” was the only thing we knew for sure. Our rack need went unfulfilled.

More than a year flew by and sadly, we never paddled once. Anxiety and depression were settling in. These times were taking their toll on us. You probably can relate. Then we made the move of our lifetime, in mid-December, when we sold our home in Flagstaff and moved up to Bend, the paddle capital of America.

Water, water everywhere and racks of all kinds on a huge percentage of vehicles. We searched Bend’s rack suppliers and there was not a new or used kayak rack to be found. Spring arrived; no racks.

Summer; no racks. Then, mid-August and finally we got a call from our local Cascade Racks. Their shipment had arrived!

“If you want one, you better get down here,” was the message left on Wendy’s voicemail. We screamed with joy!

Paddle heaven was now at our fingertips. We scheduled our first paddle date, but where should we do our Central Oregon maiden voyage? The answer to nearly all of our questions can be answered with just one or two well-worded Google

searches. We depend upon Google as much as we depend upon Siri and our morning coffee.

Click. Click. There it was, right in front of us, the precise information we needed, entitled “10 Lakes, 10 Days.” And who was the author? None other than Nicole Vulcan, the editor of this very newspaper, the Source Weekly. She paddled 10 lakes in 10 days—while she was going to work every day.

Amazing! She must need her kayak as much as we do.

I printed her article and studied it as we drove out of town Sunday morning. We were going to paddle a modest one lake in one day and were totally ecstatic. We clearly needed Vulcan to satisfy our adventurous spirits.

In little less than an hour’s drive from home we arrived at Lava Lake. To our surprise, the parking lot was nearly empty. There were only a few paddlers on the shimmering water. Unaware of time, which is our goal on the weekends these days, we strolled our way over to the Lodge. They had it all for us outdoor fun-seekers. Eggs, good beer, chips, fishing supplies, shampoo, gourmet coffees, and then, to our surprise, what looked like a chipmunk in the display case next to the register. Odd. One thing led to another.

Joie, the cool fellow running the Lodge, introduced us to his pet golden-mantled ground squirrel. He and his wife, Melissa, rescued Squeaky during the heatwave earlier this summer. After nearly three weeks of bottle feeding Pedialyte and then milk, Joie took Squeaky outside to release him into his natural environment, which had been their intention from the beginning.

He wouldn’t budge from Joie’s feet.

“This is where I want to be,” Squeaky clearly communicated.

In desperation, Joie drove him nearly a mile away. That should do it, right?

No, in three days Squeaky found his way back home, right back to Joie’s feet! Now he spends his happy days playing on Joie’s head and shoulders when he isn’t enjoying his spacious indoor home at the check-out counter at Lava Lake Lodge.

Independence is truly a myth.

It simply does not exist.

Look around.

Ask Squeaky.

I hope you do.

Oh, and our paddle around Lava Lake was beyond memorable.

Thank you, everyone who made it happen!

Chulitas Juice Bar Makes a LITTLE BITES Delicious, Colorful Splash Around Bend

A Latina-owned cart offers authentic, handcrafted aguas frescas even better than grandma’s

eal fruit, nothing artificial, blended fresh daily: those are the first few things to hear or see when at the new Chulitas Authentic Juice Bar. Open only since Bend’s Summer Fest in July, the colorful juice bar-cart is already making a big impression on locals and tourists alike.

But let’s back up a minute.

Olivia Carrasco and Edgar Tapia were taking a trip up the California/Oregon coast to celebrate Carrasco’s birthday, never intending on making a side trip to Central Oregon. But there they were, in a small southern Oregon beach town, thinking about how they’d really like to visit a place

its nooks and crannies realized that nobody was offering their version of aguas frescas. In Spanish, aguas frescas means “cool waters” or “fresh waters.” Aguas frescas are refreshing, non-alcoholic beverages made from fruits, cereals, flowers or seeds blended with sugar and water. Quite popular in Mexico, Central America and parts of the U.S.— including California where Carrasco and Tapia grew up—the drinks are often sold by street vendors. Common flavors include tamarind, hibiscus and horchata. Typical fruits used in the drinks include prickly pear, cantaloupe, guava, mango, passion fruit, cucumber and lemon.

with maybe a bit more variety of things to do (no offense to the beach, of course).

They did a little googling and mapping and made the decision to trek across the mountains and see what Bend was all about.

You probably already know the rest of the story: They immediately fell in love with Central Oregon, and after poking around all Submitted

Honeydew Chia is an original Chulitas Agua Fresca Flavor.

Once the couple decided to make the move from Bakersfield to the lovely burg of Bend, they knew at once this was the place for them to launch their juice bar. Tapia says they were impressed with all the food and drink offerings here but noticed that something was missing. He explains, “We saw a lot of great cocktails in town, but not much as far as alcohol-free for families and kids. We wanted to bring a nice, fresh, fancy drink without alcohol.”

Yes, their drinks are inspired by aguas frescas but, as already pointed out, they’re using real fruit and real sugar, no syrups, nothing artificial; they’re blending fresh daily and riffing on classic flavors and combinations while constantly experimenting with brand new ideas, such as the recent honeydew-chia offering. Carrasco says many of the new flavors come from their customers, as they’re constantly asking their fans what they’d like to see on the menu. And they’re making their drinks the way their abuelas (grandmothers) and mamas made them: from scratch! As Carrasco puts it, “We are excited to share our culture and our flavors here in Central Oregon.”

When you step up to the vibey Chulitas cart, there’s a choice of several different colorful, handcrafted drinks, many with complex ingredients, ladled out of huge Vitroleros (the traditional jars that hold aguas frescas). If you prefer, you can have that drink served in a large, rimmed cup. No, the rim is not just salt or sugar but a special Mexican candy that is melted down into a delicious spicy, sugar-like mixture that is perfect for rolling the edge of a glass or cup in; it makes you feel like you’re having a fancy cocktail. A fan from Florida, who has a second home here in Central Oregon, was raving about the Chulitas drinks on the recent afternoon that this writer was having her first samples.

Small free samples are a Chulitas staple. The decision can be difficult when you have choices such as Strawberry Pineapple Lemonade, Honeydew Chia, Café de la Olla, Hibiscus or the Horchata with spice, Mexican vanilla, soaked rice and piloncillo (sugar cane). A recent, new, non-juice offering is Mini Pancakes served with a choice of fresh fruit toppings, dulce de leche, fruity pebbles and so forth.

Currently Chulitas is at the corner of Bond and Minnesota in downtown Bend several afternoons each week and at the Northwest Crossing Farmers Market on Saturdays. Follow them on Instagram @ chulitas.co to keep track of what’s happening. The cheerful couple would like to have a food cart lot home someday, with lots of parking available, so keep an eye out for that.

BLACK WIDOW: The first theatrical Marvel movie since "Spider-Man: Far From Home" sees ScarJo reprising her role as Natasha Romanov, the badass assassin trying to lead a less murdery life. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX. CANDYMAN: Usually I’m not too excited for horror remakes or reboots (especially for movies that came out in the ‘90s), but this looks surprisingly haunting and with Jordan Peele on board as producer, I’m hoping this will be a thoughtful and disturbing reimagining of the iconic character.

There haven’t been many great horror movies this year, so we’ll see what happens. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX.

DON’T BREATHE 2: The first one was surprisingly well made but icky, so I’m curious how they’re going to spin a sequel out of such a horribly insane character who the trailers are making look like the hero.

I guess the world needs more blind and insane kidnappers? Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX. FLAG DAY: Sean Penn is an amazing actor. Sean

Penn is also a terrible director. “Flag Day” sees him doing both. Your mileage may vary. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX, Sisters Movie House.

FREE GUY: Oh Ryan Reynolds, you had me at video game character who gains sentience and becomes a hero. I’m glad this was better than it looked… and should have been. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX, Odem Theater Pub. JUNGLE CRUISE: I’m ready for a new movie about a ride at Disneyland to be as good as the original “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie was, but this isn’t that. It’s fun and weird, but there’s just something missing. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX, Odem Theater Pub. MALIGNANT: James Wan’s first step back into

horror flicks since “The Conjuring 2” looks like a spooky night at the movies. Hopefully, this is the big budget horror spectacle fright enthusiasts like myself have been missing this year. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX.

THE NIGHT HOUSE: A solid creative team and bril-

liant lead actress Rebecca Hall make me think this old-school haunted-house chiller might be a keeper. With no truly great horror movie this year yet, I

guess a boy can dream. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX, Sisters Movie House.

OLD: I get that M. Night Shyamalan made a few pretty terrible movies in a row, but I’ve never hated him enough not to be stoked whenever he has a new horror film coming out. This one is about 98% a great movie that falls apart a little by the end but has a few genuinely disturbing moments throughout. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX. THE PROTEGE: This action flick looks so generic

and predictable that, I swear to you, Sam Jackson doesn’t even survive the trailer. With the awesome Maggie Q and the great Martin (“Casino Royale” and “Goldeneye”) Campbell directing, there’s a chance this could be cool. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX.

RESPECT: Jennifer Hudson playing Aretha Franklin is about the best casting I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait for this one. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX, Sisters Movie House.

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

ie, but if I can’t be excited for a giant budget martial arts fantasy starring Awkwafina and Tony Leung (in his English-language debut), then I’m just not Jared anymore. This is going to rule and probably be the best Marvel project since “Infinity War.” Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins.

THE SUICIDE SQUAD: The last one of these intro-

duced us to Jared Leto’s Machine Gun Kelly meets a Juggalo version of the Joker, but I have it on good authority that this will not only be way better, but also legitimately one of the most finely crafted comic book movies ever made.

In Pod We Trust: The new season of “This Land” just started and if you haven’t ever listened to the show, this is a great place to jump on.

The podcast focuses on current issues facing the Native American community and it’s one of the most fascinating, infuriating and passionate shows I currently listen to, as it has almost completely reframed how I view the United States.

If you want something a little lighter that’s also got a bit of bite to it, “True Crime and Cocktails” is an absolute blast. Host Lauren Ash (who played Dina on “Superstore”) partners up with her cousin Christy Oxborrow as they literally just get drunk and talk about true crimes and mysteries. Hearing them

he air is filled with smoke, summer is almost over and there are more people in the local hospital with COVID than ever before, but at least we’re not all still arguing about masks anymore. Wait, that’s still a thing too?

OK, so maybe we’ve taken a few years’ long detour into the darkest timeline, but it’s not like Joe Rogan is out there telling people about the medical benefits of horse de-wormer. That happened too, didn’t it? And the Taliban is back?

Telling you all what podcasts and shows I’m into almost seems like too little at this stage, but it’s what I have to offer. Tell you what, if any of you lovely Source readers have anything you want to talk about or just get some big feelings of your chest, send me an email or a note care of the Source and we’ll talk. All of you are beautiful and strong and let’s do this together. Also, here’s some stuff I’m into.

Are you watching “What We Do in the Shadows?” It’s the best comedy on TV and you should be!

dive into topics like Anna Nicole Smith and Chyna is kinda groundbreaking because they give them the respect they deserve instead of just treating them like punchlines the way tabloids and the media did for so long.

If you’ve read this column for a while, you’ll know that sometimes I genuinely and unironically enjoy (and sometimes deeply love) bad movies and things that are bad for me, just in general. Well, now I have discovered the holy grail of podcasts that’s just for me. It’s called “We Love Trash.” Hosts Betsy Sodaro and Mano Agapion review and discuss anything from one-star

hotels to terrible ‘80s slasher films and I am there for it all the way. It’s a damn delight and I’m mad I didn’t come up with this concept myself.

Now Streaming/Theatrical The biggest surprise I’ve had watching a movie all month has probably been Hulu’s “Vacation Friends,” which should have been a terrible odd couple riff, but ended up being one of the funniest movies I’ve seen all year. John Cena was terrible in this year’s newest “Fast and the Furious” entry, but somehow steals every scene in “Vacation Friends,” so more of that, please.

The newest Marvel series on Disney+, “What If…,” is a bleak and fascinating look at some of the darkest timelines of the MCU. The newest episode follows Doctor Strange as he travels back in time over and over again trying to save a life and it’s easily one of the most heartbreaking things Marvel has ever done.

Also, why are you even reading this?

The new season of “What We Do in the Shadows” just started and it’s already an absolute banger. If you’re sleeping on this show, Hulu has the first two seasons and shows the new ones as they air. Get on it. You’ll be glad you did.

A Spying Mission Gone Awry

By Jim Anderson

ecently, Mary Webster, a longtime pal and resident of Central Oregon—and whale of a fine photographer—sent me images of Sauvie Island, located on the Columbia River, north of Portland. It has a beautiful wildlife management area on it, operated by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, nestled in amongst several hundred acres of private farmland.

Webster’s wonderful e-mail triggered a lot of memories of my times coming and going on Sauvie Island back when I was the naturalist for The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in the ‘60s.

I interacted with the old Oregon Game Commission employees in those days, helping to get lead banned in waterfowl hunting ammunition. My favorite helper was Del Sanford, manager of the preserve, who was one of the more important people to get the lead ammunition ban through. Bottom-feeding ducks, such as mallards, scooped up lead shot with the vegetation they harvested, the lead killing and crippling more ducks than hunters did.

As I interacted with Sanford and his staff about wildlife living and resting in and on the management area, I was informed of a barn owl nesting in a box put up for wood ducks. This gave me the idea of answering a lot of questions I had about how barn owls (which are strictly nocturnal hunters), such as, how do they go about capturing rodents they feed to their nestlings?

Driving home from the management area, the idea of following the owl when she was on

Cross is Back!

a hunting trip hatched in my head, along with the idea of how to see her doing so in the dark of night: night vision goggles!

Night vision goggles allow one to view objects in the dark, but offer no magnification. However, they are strapped to your head, so you don’t have to hold them to your eyes in order to see through them, and that frees your hands for other chores.

After wearing the goggles for three nights and noticing how effective they were for night vision, I had my pal, Ed Park, take me to that barn owl nest box and leave me, so I could follow the adult all night to watch her hunt. I then asked him to come back and get me at 2 am.

My night vision was so good that when the female barn owl came out to go hunting I followed her easily. I wore heavy socks so as not to make too much noise and started out giving her a lot of room.

She stopped at the first field and I hunkered down behind an old wild rose bush to watch as she quartered the field dropping several times to grab up a rodent. I could hear the squeak as she killed the small mice, and followed her back to the nest box.

The babies were somehow aware of her returning and began to make raspy, squeaking noises as she was approaching the box. Then I could hear them gobbling down the prey mom burped back up for them.

On the next trip, she came back to see what/who was following her, but then I think she shrugged her shoulders and went back to hunting, muttering about

humans. At about midnight she came out of the box and took off in another direction, I thought heading to a distant field.

I had trouble keeping up with her as the route she took was littered with more wild rose bushes I had to leap over. (In those days I was a misplaced logger and in good physical shape, so I started running and leaping over the bushes.)

About the third one I sailed over was my undoing. I caught the toe of my stocking-covered foot on an old branch and went head-first into the bush.

When I came to, and opened my eyes, everything looked fuzzy. I was hurting pretty badly on the side of my head and shoulder. While I was laying on my back, looking up, and as my vision returned, I saw the owl fly by, circle me, and then leave. Even with all the pain I was feeling, it made me chuckle — I imagined she was laughing, and muttering, “That’ll teach him…”.

Well, it took over an hour for me to get enough strength to crawl out of that tough old rose bush. Then I discovered I couldn’t walk from dizziness, and my head was bleeding. I held my handkerchief on the side of my head that was torn open and began to crawl to the road where Ed Park was going to pick me up at 2 am.

By the time he came by to get me I was in bad shape and could barely keep my eyes open. When he pulled up alongside me lying there, he bent down, raised my bloody head, pawed into my hair to see how bad I was hurt, and with a laugh he said, “Remind me to never go out at night playing with barn owls…” and away we went to the hospital.

I can still hear that doctor working on my torn scalp, “I see you have an old injury — what happened to your ear that you had to have it stitched up?” he asked while cleaning up my head. So while he was putting in the current stitches on my skull I told him about the poppa Great horned owl in Alfalfa that almost tore my ear off back in the ‘50s… another tale for another time….

Can Chaser, Thrilla races mean cyclocross is happening again in Central Oregon?

It’s a thing bike lovers look forward to all year: The end of summer and the return of the silly fun that is cyclocross. That eagerness is even more pronounced this year, as races return after being largely shut down for the 2020 season. Cyclocross races— defined by USA Cycling as “a cross between road cycling, mountain biking and steeplechase”—have already commenced in Central Oregon, with the first Thrilla Cyclocross race taking place Sept. 2 at The Athletic Club of Bend. That series of Thursday-night events, put on by the Mount Bachelor Sports Education Foundation, continues Sept. 16, 26 and 30, with races starting as early as 5:15 pm.

Also happening this weekend, and also put on by MBSEF, is the Can Chaser Cross, a day-long cyclocross event at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center Saturday, Sept. 11. The event is part of the Harvest Cyclocross Series, a series of six events taking place at various Oregon and Washington locations through Oct. 3. Everyone from tiny tots on Striders to Masters cyclists will be racing—and in true Central Oregon style, local barrel racing champion Denali Hart will “prep the course” by doing a barrel-racing demonstration during the noon hour. This is the first year for the Can Chaser Cross, and if it’s successful, MBSEF plans to do the event again next year.

Cannabis Advisory Panel to help steer marijuana tax revenue in Deschutes County WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

A new bill invites the advent of a commission to advise on marijuana issues

By Jeremy Dickman

A

person could be forgiven for being a bit confused about the future of legal marijuana businesses in rural Deschutes County.

First, the County voted—along with the rest of the state—in 2014 to legalize cannabis businesses. Then, in 2016, a panel of experts convened to help write rules for cannabis companies.

After persecution by a cannabis-hostile Board of County Commissioners (aided and abetted by an equally hostile sheriff’s department) between 2017 and 2019, however, the Board stopped permitting marijuana businesses in 2019. Voters ultimately confirmed this decision at the ballot box in 2020. All existing marijuana businesses in unincorporated Deschutes County are unaffected by the vote.

According to Oregon Department of Revenue Spokesman Richard Hoover, speaking to OPB, the County missed out on more than half a million dollars between December 2019 and September 2020 because of its self-imposed moratorium. The County sued the State in December 2020 over the lost revenue, arguing that because existing marijuana businesses in the rural county were not affected, the tax spigot should keep flowing.

Deschutes County’s have-it-bothways grievance, however, was rendered moot in the form of a fix at the statehouse. Representatives Jack Zika (R-Redmond) and Jason Kropf (D-Bend) co-sponsored a bill in the Oregon legislature to allow counties that participate in marijuana commerce to receive marijuana tax revenue if they form a “Cannabis Advisory Panel.” The purpose of the panel will be to advise county leaders about how to allocate marijuana tax proceeds.

According to House Bill 3295, such a panel shall include a marijuana production license-holder, a marijuana retail license-holder, a designee of the county sheriff, a designee of the county commission, a watermaster, a county resident who “is knowledgeable about economic development in the county” and “a member of the public.”

A few interested parties have already vied for roles on the new panel. Det. Dustin Miller of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, who has served as a member of the County’s Illegal Marijuana Market Enforcement Team, expressed interest as the Sheriff’s designee. Hunter Neubauer, of Oregrown, has thrown his name in as the marijuana production license-holder;

Neubauer has been active for years in local and state politics as it relates to marijuana policy.

Matt Hurt and Joseph Stapleton, business owners running two different dispensaries in the county, each offered to fill the role of retail-license holders on the panel. Hurt is the chief operating officer of Cannabis Nation, which has a location in Sunriver. Stapleton owns Hyroot Organics, a dispensary in La Pine.

Finally, in a bid to fill the at-large “member of the public” position on the panel, real estate broker Liz Lotochinski has says she is preparing an application for the at-large position.

Lotochinski, a Tumalo resident, served on the County’s Marijuana Advisory Committee back in 2016.

“As a rural resident, I wanted to preserve the pastoral vistas rather than having beautiful ranches and farms turned into (marijuana) grow sites,” Lotochinski said of her decision to serve on the 2016 committee.

“It seems appropriate to come full circle and assist with making recommendations on how the county could/ should spend the tax revenue from these businesses.”

Lotochinski says that if she’s appointed to the panel, she wants to come in with an open mind.

“I don’t even know (how much) money Deschutes County will have,” Lotochinski noted. “I believe the county has received some federal funds. I’d like to have an understanding of where those funds have gone. Which departments in the county (need it)?”

With the passage of Measure 110 last November, the days of $500,000 annual tax flows into Deschutes County are over. A huge portion of tax revenue from marijuana sales will now be directed to regional drug treatment centers.

As for allocating the remaining funds, Lotochinski favors a holistic approach.

“There ought to be some mental health support for youth,” she said. “Let’s make sure we have those resources for them… our emergency workers, corrections officers, our patrol, the 911 call center; these people have been maintaining some sense of normalcy for us (during the pandemic). What can we do for them?”

County officials began to invite applications for the public “at large” position on the panel Aug. 26, and the county will continue to review applications until Sept. 13.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Between 37 and 41 BCE, Virgo-born Caligula served as third Emperor of Rome. To do so, he had to disprove the prophecy of a renowned astrologer, Thrasyllus of Mendes.

Years earlier, Thrasyllus had predicted that Caligula, despite being well-connected, “had no more chance of becoming emperor than of riding a horse across the Bay of Baiae”—a distance of two miles. Once in power, Caligula arranged to have a series of pontoon boats arrayed across the bay, enabling him to ride his favorite horse Incitatus from one shore to the other across the Bay of Baiae. I foresee the possibility of a comparable turn of events for you, Virgo. Is there a curse you want to undo? A false prophecy you’d like to cancel? Someone’s low expectation you would love to debunk?

The coming weeks will be a favorable time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): College student Amelia Hamrick studied the right panel of Hieronymus Bosch’s 15th-century painting The Garden of Earthly Delights. It depicts a hellish scene. Cities are on fire. Weird beasts devour sinful humans.

There are demons and torture chambers. Hamrick did what no one in the history of art had ever done: She transcribed the musical score that the artist had written on a man’s naked hindquarters. Her work inspired a composer to create a recording entitled “500-Year-Old Butt Song from Hell.” In the coming weeks, I invite you to perform feats comparable to Hamrick: 1. Explore the past for useful, overlooked clues. 2. Find or create redemptive transformations out of stressful situations. 3. Have fun telling stories about your past misadventures.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): Born on one of the Galapagos Islands, Diego is a giant tortoise who has lived for over 100 years. He’s a member of the Hood Island species, which had dwindled to a population of 15 by 1977. That’s when he and his tortoise colleague, whose name is E5, became part of a breeding program with 12 female tortoises. E5 was reserved in his behavior, but Diego was a showboat who vocalized loudly as he enjoyed public mating rituals. Together the two males saved their species—producing over 2,000 offspring in subsequent years. According to my astrological analysis, you could be as metaphorically fertile as Diego and E5 in the coming months—even if you prefer to adopt an approach more akin to E5’s.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The meaning of my existence is that life has addressed a question to me,” wrote psychologist Carl Jung. “Or, conversely, I myself am a question that is addressed to the world, and I must communicate my answer, for otherwise, I am dependent upon the world’s answer.” These are superb meditations for you Sagittarians during the coming weeks. Between now and October 1, I invite you to keep a journal where you write about two subjects: 1. What is the main question that life asks you? 2. What is the main question that your life asks the world?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): North Korea’s Capricorn leader Kim Jong-un has an amazing résumé. Official reports say he learned to drive at age three and was an accomplished sailor at nine.

As an adult, he developed the power to control the weather. He’s a skilled musician and artist, as well as a scientist who developed a miracle drug to cure AIDs, Ebola, cancer, heart disease, and the common cold. Most impressively, Kim is an archaeologist who discovered a lair where magical unicorns live. Is it possible you have unexpressed powers like these, Capricorn? If so, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to identify them and start tapping into their potential. It’s time to develop your dormant talents.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Toni Morrison testified, “I think of beauty as an absolute necessity. I don’t think it’s a privilege or an indulgence. It’s almost like knowledge, which is to say, it’s what we were born for.” I urge you to adopt her perspective during the next four weeks,

Aquarius. In my astrological opinion, a devoted quest for beauty will heal exactly what most needs to be healed in you. It will teach you everything you most need to know.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Poet and translator Anne Carson periodically joins with her husband Robert Currie to teach a workshop called “EgoCircus.” It’s an ironic title, because the subject they teach is the art of collaboration. To develop skills as a collaborator, of course, people must lay aside at least some of their egos’ needs and demands. In accordance with current astrological potentials, I encourage you to stage your own version of EgoCircus in the coming weeks. The time is ripe for you to hone your creative togetherness and synergistic intimacy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “We need to become more unreasonable but in an intelligent way,” says Aries politician Jerry Brown. Yes! I agree! And that’s especially true for you right now, Aries. To Brown’s advice, I will add this message from Aries fashion designer Vivienne Westwood: “Intelligence is composed mostly of imagination, insight—things that have nothing to do with reason.” Here’s one further suggestion to help you take maximum advantage of cosmic rhythms, courtesy of Aries historian Arnold J. Toynbee: “The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.”

TAURUS (April 20May 20): “I have become whole and complete, like a thundering cloudburst in summer,” wrote Taurus poet Miklós Radnóti. I love that metaphor for fullness: not an immaculate icon of shiny, sterile perfection, but rather a primal, vigorous force of nature in all of its rumbling glory. I hope you like this symbol as much as I do, and I hope you use it to fuel your creative spirit in the coming weeks. PS: Keep in mind that many indigenous people welcome rainstorms as a source of fertility and growth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Pandiculation” is a word that refers to when you stretch and yawn at the same time. According to my understanding of the astrological omens, you will benefit from doing a lot of pandiculations in the coming days. I also recommend gazing lazily out the window and looking at the sky a lot. Keep your shoes off as much as possible, get a massage or three, and let yourself sleep more than you customarily do. Did you know that sighing deeply is good for your lungs’ health?

Here’s your homework: Dream up all the things you can do to relax and renew yourself. It’s prime time to indulge in generous acts of self-healing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The ancient Roman author Pliny’s ten-volume Natural History, written in the first century, was a monumental encyclopedia of the natural world, unprecedented in its own time and for centuries afterward. It offered compilations of facts about astronomy, geography, zoology, botany, mineralogy, and many other subjects. There was one big problem with it, however. It contained a great deal of erroneous information. For example, Pliny described in detail many non-existent animals, including dragons, flying horses, and giant serpents that swallowed bulls and snatched birds out of the sky. My reason for telling you this is to inspire you to be extra discerning in the coming weeks. Be especially skeptical of authorities, experts, and other know-it-alls who are very confident despite being inaccurate or erroneous. It’s time for you to increase your trust in your own authority.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

“

There are those fortunate hours when the world consents to be made into a poem,” writes Leo poet Mark Doty. That’s great for a poet. But what about for everyone else?

My variation on Doty’s comment is this: There are fortunate hours when the world consents to be made into a holy revelation or a lyrical breakthrough or a marvelous feeling that changes our lives forever. I expect events like those to come your way at least twice in the immediate future.

I really like the girl I’m dating, except for one thing. On every date, she asks me to take photos of her for Instagram. Afterward, she consults me repeatedly on which will “get the most likes.” I’m starting to get really annoyed, and I find it cuts into my enjoyment of our time together. She even did this on my birthday!

—Irritated Psychologist Erich Fromm wrote, “Mature love says: ‘I need you because I love you.’”

He died in 1980, 30-some years before Instagram-infused love: “I need you, love, because my telescoping selfie stick won’t fit in my cute purse.”

This girl’s far from alone in turning every occasion short of stints on the toilet into a photo op. Social media (and Instagram especially) transformed fishing for compliments into a business model. #admirationvampires Some young women—especially 20-somethings with a still-murky sense of identity—might feel they don’t exist in any meaningful way if they don’t post pix and videos of themselves to score likes and gain followers. #KeepingUpWithTheInstadashians There’s also the lure of easy money for those who can rack up an audience: potentially making big “influencer” bucks just by showing up to events in some pop-up shop’s dress and striking a bunch of poses they copied off Beyonce.

Chances are you went on Tinder or Hinge or whatever in hopes of landing a girlfriend, not unpaid work as a photographer. Saying yes to taking this girl’s pic the first time -- before you realized it would be an every-date thing— probably seemed like a one-off request and thus not a big deal. But now you’re annoyed that you’re constantly being pressed into photo slavehood. Even your birthday got co-opted into a #MeMeMeMe #takemypicture celebration of her personal “brand.”

The problem is not that she’s asking but that you keep going along with photographing her. There’s a way out of this—and a way to get women to respect you instead of seeing you as a chump they can use and eventually lose—and it’s assertiveness.

Social psychologist Daniel Ames and his colleagues define assertiveness as “the degree to which someone stands up” for their own needs and interests “when they are faced with someone else who does not want the same outcomes.”

Assertiveness allows you to be in charge of your life instead of becoming the tool of anyone who wants to use you: basically living like an insect that gets batted around by a cat. People who default to a passive approach— just doing whatever’s asked of them, no matter how they dread it—often have a deep fear of rejection. They act on the mistaken belief that “the way to be accepted and appreciated by others is to give and give,” explains clinical psychologist Randy Paterson.

This isn’t to say you should live like an accountant, calculating to the penny or the calorie whether the give and take between you and another person is exactly 50/50 at all times. What matters is your motivation: giving to a woman because it feels good to make her happy or, say, safer (like if you install burglar-frustrating thingies on her windows).

That’s healthy giving—in contrast with emotionally indentured Boy Scout-hood: fulfilling the terms of a contract that exists only in your head, in which you re-sod a woman’s lawn, rotate her tires, and/or become her pro bono “palace photographer” so she won’t kick you to the curb.

This “chore-bribe your way to love ’n’ sex” model tends to work about as well as my attempt, as a lonely, pickedon little kid, to geek my way into having friends. In second grade, two girls approached me, worksheets in hand, and said they’d be my friend if I did their math homework during recess. I got to work with my thick No. 2 pencil. Maybe 10 minutes later, I finished— and they immediately succumbed to childhood amnesia. Neither girl even spoke to me again—all the way through the end of 12th grade.

The willingness to assert yourself is a reflection of self-respect: the belief that you have value and have a right to be treated as if you and your needs matter. But say your current level of self-respect is on the low side. You can still act like a person with strong self-respect: Explain what you want—in this case, to retire from fashion photography and post-date photo selection.

Be prepared. It’s possible she’ll ditch you for expressing the inconvenient need to quit as her Instagram documentarian. But if your needs and feelings are of little interest to her, maybe you can view getting yourself dumped by her not as a tragedy but as a point of pride: the first day of the rest of your living with self-respect. Carpe diem!

(By way of carpe scrotum!)

What Happens if a Buyer Cannot Close Escrow On Time?

T

on the contracted date is to get an extension of escrow addendum signed by both buyer and seller. Prior to doing this, it is important to understand why there is a delay and the timeframe needed to remedy the issue and close escrow. Be realistic with the time needed to close. Sellers are less likely to be gracious if multiple extensions are requested. While an extension seems easy enough, the seller may not be inclined to cooperate and extend. When working to persuade a seller to agree to the extension, it is important to have a clear explanation for the delay. In addition to an explanation and reasonable extension request, one strategy that tends to work well is for the buyer to offer to release the earnest money deposit immediately to the seller prior to close of escrow. This strategy should only be used if the buyer is certain that they can in fact close escrow. When a buyer releases the earnest money deposit, it is in effect a way for the buyer to instill confidence that the buyer is sincere about closing and help to remove the skepticism from the seller’s mind. There is no greater show of intent to close than to release the earnest money as non-refundable to the seller.

Delays are not ideal, but the reality is that they do happen and more often than not in a real estate transaction, they are due to no fault of the buyer and seller. The best approach is to keep clear and continuous communication with all involved parties of the transaction. Communication is key to avoid raising doubts and keep the transaction moving forward.

Does that mean game over? he escrow process is moving along smoothly and then all of a sudden there is a bump, and it is looking like the buyer cannot close escrow on time.

This can cause a host of problems; the primary issue being that the purchase contract contained a closing date upon acceptance and that purchase contract is legally binding. So, if the closing date is missed, the contract is in jeopardy of expiration. If the worst-case scenario occurs and the contract expires, there is no longer a legally binding contract giving the buyer the right to purchase the property.

There are varying reasons that can result in the delay of closing escrow.

Unexpected delays with an appraisal, lender and underwriting issues, severe illness and even a divorce can result in delays. Generally speaking, most of the delays in escrow are a result of the lenders waiting on an appraisal or an underwriting requirement – also known as a condition to close. In speaking with several escrow officers, the vast majority of them have said the most common reason they see with delay in closing is a result of lender issues, and more specifically, when working with an out-of-area lender. Nearly every real estate professional will tell a buyer that using a local lender is far more advantageous to the buyer, especially when issues such as appraisal delays come into play. Local lenders know the market, have existing relationships with real estate professionals in the local industry and are better equipped to help when issues do arise.
