Apartment fight reveals Bend’s latent—and damaging—xenophobia Our editorial board has already established its position regarding the construction of the proposed apartment complex near The Pavilion in Bend. In a housing crisis, it is unconscionable for a city not to approve apartments on land that’s been privately, legally obtained by owners who have adhered to the rules for developing such a property. Were there controversy around the legality of the development, that would be cause for concern. But the arguments against the complex err on the side of emotion instead. Detractors decry that the developer is from Seattle, Wash. They worry, with the five-story height, that the apartments will make McKay Park too shady. One commenter at a recent city public hearing even accused the hearings officer of “being a land use attorney”—as if obtaining a Juris Doctorate and specializing in land use somehow makes one less qualified to address land use issues. Detractors also worry that nearby street parking will become a challenge—forgetting that if they, too, need street parking, it means that they’ve been allowed something that they now don’t want a new resident to have. The feeling that comes out of arguments such as these is the feeling that Bend is inherently afraid of outsiders. “We don’t want to be Portland lite” is a common fear-mongering statement bandied about in Bend— an argument that skips over the fact that a good majority of us came from there, grew up there, or see Oregon’s largest city as the cultural center of our state. This fear of outsiders is fraught with so many contradictions. By the numbers, most Bendites were outsiders once. This issue is the drawbridge mentality at its worst, once again. But this clannish mentality has another facet: It honors homogeneity and invites racism. Bend has long been a highly homogenous community. As we grow, diversity increases—including a diversity of opinions,

skill sets and visages, and we should welcome that. When we reject the growth that is already so inevitable in our community, we reject that diversity, and we show an ugly, xenophobic, “fear of other” side of our city that we shouldn’t be proud to show—and one we should stand up against.

Thank Walden for supporting workers over his party

In the past, we have criticized our U.S. representative when he’s made moves that don’t appear to benefit his constituents— such as when he moved in favor of repealing the Affordable Care Act, for example. We also know it’s important to offer praise when it’s due. Last week, U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Hood River), who represents the 2nd Congressional District in Congress, deviated from the position of his own party when he voted in favor of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2019—a piece of legislation aimed at reopening the federal government amid what is now the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Walden went public about his feeling that the shutdown is not good for government workers. Some of those workers were already living paycheck to paycheck. Some now can’t pay their bills. Some may suffer long-lasting financial consequences if this shutdown continues, and any representative who continues to treat constituents as pawns in this border wall game will most certainly suffer at the polls next time around. It’s a lie on the president’s part to say that the opposition doesn’t care about border security. Congressional Democrats just don’t see a wall as the ultimate solution. We’d like to hope that this break from party ranks is a signal that Walden will do the same the next time more asinine moves by the president come around. Before that happens though, here’s giving credit where credit is due: A politician’s loyalty should be to the people they represent, not the party.

CLIMATE CHANGE The City of Bend is wasting money on climate change In 2016, the City of Bend passed a climate change ordinance committing staff and resources to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. A Climate Action Committee was formed and the city hired an environmental monitor to oversee compliance with carbon reduction goals. Although well meaning, these measures are misguided, wasteful and ultimately ineffective. Much of the controversy is whether and how much climate change is caused by man-made (anthropogenic) carbon emissions. The accepted orthodoxy is that anthropogenic global warming is bad and carbon emissions resulting from human activity will devastate the environment. There is just one problem with claims of catastrophic global climate changes caused by humans: they simply aren’t true. The climate models and assumptions used by the global warming crowd to convince governments to commit significant resources to dealing with climate change run far too hot, when compared with satellite and radiosonde temperature data. Over the entire 39-year

satellite record, the global temperature has risen far less than alarmists have predicted. Earth was as warm or warmer during the Medieval Warm Period, when no one argues we were burning significant amounts of fossil fuel. The models are wrong, as are claims that carbon dioxide is a harmful greenhouse gas. The danger is not from climate change but from misguided attempts to control it. Before Bend spends any more tax dollars pursuing a foolish and costly effort to achieve carbon neutrality, the city council should consider the science of climate change rather than submit to the hysteria of the climate alarmists. —Paul deWitt

CROOKED RIVER RESTORATION AND WATER LTE Submission: Bureau’s Failure Jeopardizes Crooked River Restoration In 1961 Bowman Dam sacrificed Crooked River flows to store 155,000 acre-feet of water in Prineville Reservoir. While Congress declared these stored waters were primarily for irrigation, local irrigation districts would eventually only claim about half. Meanwhile, the dam and irrigation diversions decimated the Crooked River, sparking a struggle for the roughly 80,000 acre-feet of unclaimed stored water to restore fish populations. Finally, a compromise was struck: The 2014 Crooked River Collaborative Water Security Act. This compromise gave first dibs to irrigation districts with pre-2012 Bureau of Reclamation water contracts, the City of Prineville got water to offset new groundwater pumping, and fish got the unclaimed 80,000 acre-feet of water. Importantly, under the Act, the Bureau must release this water for fish and also provide these fish flows from Prineville Reservoir to Lake Billy Chinook. Unfortunately, years later, the Bureau has failed to ensure these fish flows stay in the river, meaning water promised to fish under federal law is being diverted onto irrigators’ fields. Why is this happening? Despite plenty of rhetoric in the basin about following collaborative pathways, and this collaborative bi-partisan legislation, local irrigation districts

have convinced the Bureau to hold off on protecting this water instream. It’s time for the Bureau to stop obstructing the restoration of the Crooked River. This deal was brokered four years ago, the irrigators and the City of Prineville have their water. It is time for the Bureau to follow the law and ensure that the fish get their water. —John DeVoe

BUCKS FOR BALLOTS According to various sources on the web, there are 2,762,746 registered voters in Oregon, and in the most recent election 1,849,693 of them voted. Roughly $36,000,000 was spent by the gubenatorial campaigns - almost $19 1/2 per voter, $13 per registered voter. (This doesn’t even count US representative or state races. And think how much will be spent in 2 years on the Presidential race.) Did K Brown & K Bueller’s ads convince many voters to give them their vote, or was it simply annoying to see the same 2 ads every 15 minutes if one was watching tv? Wouldn’t it be much more effective, if the candidates could offer money directly to the voters, instead of enriching advertising and media companies? I certainly would prefer to receive cash than being inflicted with ad after ad after ad. Wouldn’t all of you? Surely, if Phil Knight can donate 2 1/2 million dollars to Bueller’s campaign, there must be some way that political campaigns can offer money to the electorate, perhaps by saying it’s

an inducement to show appreciation for each voter taking time to study the issues and going off to vote. And as a practical matter, the campaigns can’t see how each individual fills out his or her ballot. Payment to the People Enrich the Electorate Reward the Registered Value to the Voters Bucks for Ballots —Ted Suen

IN RESPONSE TO “STORM SEWER CHARGES” ON 1-10 I read the interesting letter about having to pay for storm drains when there are none in your neighborhood. I also am in the same situation but I would like to give a response to your reasonable objection. I am making a basic assumption that you are like me and the majority of the people who live in Bend. We all work, shop, play, travel all over town where there are storm drains and we all benefit from them being in place and being maintained. As members of the community, we have an obligation to pay for the infrastructure for the common good. Just another perspective. —Dan Cooper

Cheri Helt sits down with the Source as she begins her first term in the Oregon House By Judy Stiegler

he pomp and circumstance of the 80th Oregon Legislature began Monday with both the Senate and the House convening to swear in members-elect for each chamber, and then convening a joint session for the inauguration of Gov. Kate Brown. Central Oregon has two new legislators in the Oregon House beginning this legislative session. Cheri Helt, who replaces Knute Buehler, is now state representative for Oregon House District 54, which covers the majority of the City of Bend. I recently had an opportunity to talk with her about her thoughts, goals and expectations as she enters the Legislature, and as a Republican, her thoughts on being a member of a “super minority.” Helt’s enthusiasm as she moves into this position is quite apparent. She says her goal is to develop a good working relationship on both sides of the aisle, and to do as much bi-partisan work as possible. Her aim is to continue to be an independent-minded representative for Bend. Various party and legislative meetings and trainings happened throughout December and January. Helt said she’s held community meetings as well, with an objective to gather as much information possible.

"If you're doing the job right and working hard, at the end of the day, your brain hurts," Helt said. "I keep a journal to get it out of my head." She told me she’s also met with those in state government who are in areas of interest to her, such as the State Director of the Mental Health Division. Helt also had what she characterized as a “good meeting” with the Oregon Speaker of the House, Tina Kotek (D-Portland). Committee assignments Helt says she’s excited about her prospective committee assignments. She’s Vice-Chair of the House Committee on Education. She’ll also serve on the House Committee on Human Services and Housing, where she will serve with fellow Republican and freshman, Rep. Jack Zika of House District 53, representing parts of Bend as well as Sunriver and Redmond. Helt will also serve on the Joint Committee on Student Success with Central Oregon veteran legislator, Sen. Tim Knopp (R-Bend). Helt said the assignments fit in well with her priorities, which include education, foster care, mental health, safe schools, gun storage safety, affordable housing and child care. Her legislative concepts include how best to increase the number of foster families in the state; increasing the child care stipend for foster families; ways to deal with the child care shortage, including ways to incentivize the building of more facilities as well as employee retention; addressing issues to improve K-12 education; and improving aspects of the mental health system,

Leaving the school board? One issue that could be a challenge: Helt’s intent to continue serving on the Bend-La Pine Schools board. Helt said after eight years on the board and all the controversies and issues it has faced—including three boundary changes—she’s accustomed to dealing with pressure and working to make things happen for the people she represents. For now, Legislative Organization Days continue through Jan. 17, when both chambers will formally organize, when pre-session filed bills will be introduced and read, and when committee memberships will be formally announced. Both Houses will then adjourn and reconvene Jan. 22, when the 80th Oregon Legislature will formally commence the 2019 Legislative Session Days. Judy Stiegler served as an Oregon House representative in House District 54 from 2009 to 2011. Central Oregon support for furloughed federal employees Amid the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, some local businesses and organizations are offering meals and services to furloughed federal government workers.

A New Representative for Bend

Pending legislation Helt has already signed on to several pieces of legislation with other legislators, including a bill to fully fund the Court Appointed Special Advocates program, as well as legislation to assess search and rescue services. She’s joined with Sen. Knopp to fund the Quality Education Model—never achieved in the more than two decades the assessments have been presented to the Legislature. She’s also joined with Rep. Margaret Doherty (D-Tigard), Chair of the House Education Committee, on a bill giving students an option in taking ACT and SAT tests. When asked about the hot-button issue of the Public Employees Retirement System, Helt said her goal is to provide relief to entities including school districts, counties and cities. She said she’s in a “listening mode” right now, looking for suggestions and solutions to make the system sustainable and to reduce the pressure on public bodies.

Wild & Free IN THE Indoors Preferred habitat. But when that’s not feasible, a deprived cyclist can opt inside.

WHEREAS A MOUNTAIN BIKER OPTS INSIDE TO GET SOME SPINS BY NICOLE VULCAN

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 03 / JANUARY 17, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

WINTER

ild and free in the outdoors… fresh air and wind in your hair… It’s for these external experiences that I ride bikes—but looking out on the bleak black-white world outside my office window one recent day, I also realized that moving the legs in a concentric fashion over and over, heart beating in the throat, has an appeal of its own. On one of those dichromatic days, I decided that this Fit Week, I was going to try out indoor cycling, wind in my hair or not. While many local gyms offer indoor cycling classes, and others offer options that require you to bring your own bike, I checked out three in Bend that offer drop-in options for the fickle, I’d-rather-be-outdoors types like me. Juniper Swim & Fitness Perhaps the most approachable option for spin classes in Bend is at Juniper Swim & Fitness—a good starting point for many types of exercise you might endeavor to take on for the first time. Drop-in rates are $8, by far the most cost-effective option mentioned here. I hustled to instructor Jen’s Cycle Core class

after work one day—a one-hour class that’s topped off with a stretchy exercise band workout that offers an additional challenge at the end of what proved to be a challenging session. The vibe is mellow here, and you’re the only one who knows how hard you’re working (more on that later). Best part: Without the idyll of the outdoors, music becomes center to the experience—and Jen scored points with me by selecting Cardi B’s “I Like It” as the first track. Why yes, I do like it. JoyCycle541 Heading to JoyCycle541 on a Saturday for the Performance Ride class was a study in contrast. Unlike Juniper’s brightly lit gym-type feel, JoyCycle541 gets it lit with nightclub lighting and an equally nightclub-like loud sound. The ride was a lot tougher, too, with instructor Stacy calling for more time off the saddle and more sprints. It was a full hour of riding—with the added competitive nature of having screens showing your stats and how they stack up against other riders in the room. Riders can opt to keep their stats off the screen— but hey, isn’t this about crushing it in the indoors? Best parts: JoyCycle541 had its creature comforts dialed, including two sets of locker rooms, a post-workout protein shot and optional child care. First class is $10, with reasonable packages after that.

Julie Lau (front) and Nikki McLeod (back) navigate their way to Swede Shelter.

CycleBar Bend Instructor Sean came highly recommended, so I headed to his 45-minute Classic class one workday—a ride that included that nightclub feel, plenty of sprints and hills, plus a short upper-body workout using long, weighted bars. Sean got the room popping with lots of fun pop music—adding encouragement for us to tune into the message of the lyrics for inspiration. Screen stats are optionally public here too—though in this class, Sean only publicly displayed our stats during select times, such as during a sprint or a hill workout. Bonus to this mountain biker for “winning” the hill sprint once during the class—definitely something motivating that made me try harder in the subsequent “races.” A drop-in class is $25, or $29 for an intro week. Best parts: A bright, sunny, inviting reception area and a great central location in the Old Mill—and a fun instructor who inspired me with his dance moves while on the bike. Turns out, he teaches dance fitness, too. Overall impressions For those just starting out, who might not care as much about slaying it in relation to those riding around you, Juniper is your jam. For those into a more dedicated cycling culture, and for those who want their stats delivered to them via email, both JoyCycle541 and CycleBar are great. Deciding might come down to class offerings, times of classes or location—that is, if you’re the type who actually deigns to cycle to your cycle class… Juniper Swim & Fitness

Fit TO Fall

FALLING ON THE ICE CAN SIDELINE WINTER FUN. HERE ARE TIPS TO PREP YOUR BODY TO WITHSTAND A FALL BY DAVID ADAMSON, CPT

ne of the key benefits of exercise for people in Central Oregon: being strong and supple enough to fall onto ice and get up uninjured. With that in mind, it’s crucial to make sure your

exercise program gets you fit to fall. To do this, focus less on the glamor muscles you see in the mirror. Bulging biceps become less important as the four small muscles of the rotator cuff; six-pack abs less important than strong obliques and the small muscles wrapping your spine. One of the best ways to train fall-protective body parts is to go down on the floor in a plank/push up position, and then to use your own body weight for resistance to build up areas vulnerable to falls. You can start from your knees if you need to.

BILINGUAL FITNESS CLASSES REFLECT BEND’S GROWING DIVERSITY BY CAITLIN RICHMOND

magine being new to a facility or new to organized exercise and trying to figure it all out in a language that isn’t your native one. Those are barriers employees at Bend Park and Recreation District’s Juniper Swim & Fitness Center have been trying to break down— especially when it comes to fitness classes and swim lessons—by offering bilingual classes in Spanish and English. “As a native Spanish speaker, I can tell you that there is nothing like taking any class in your native language,” said Kathya Avila Choquez, Latino community specialist for BPRD. “There is such relief when you go to a new place, try something new and you realize the receptionists, instructors, etc., speak your language.” (Disclosure: I also work for BPRD, in Youth Recreation.) “Several years ago, the district started an initiative to reach underserved populations, specifically the Latino population,” explained Monica McClainSmith, fitness coordinator at JSFC. “We did a lot of planning about how we could implement that and how we could

sustain it, so one thing we did was start to designate bilingual fitness instructors on our full schedule.” Currently, bilingual class offerings include yoga, Pilates and water workout classes, as well as swim instruction. BPRD has around 10 bilingual fitness instructors or swim instructors. Among its offerings are family swim lessons for Spanish-speaking families, where kids and their parents spend time learning skills and techniques. Avila Choquez is often the first point of contact for Spanish speakers, working at JSFC and at the main BPRD office, helping Spanish speakers navigate classes and offerings. “Having bilingual classes offers recreational alternatives to the Spanish speakers, since there are not that many in Central Oregon,” she explained. “Having bilingual and bicultural staff will increase the chances of reaching more diverse communities and will help to build confidence and trust with the Latino families quickly.” Leer una versión en Español de este historia a bendsource.com

Here are some areas to focus on: Wrists: With hands flat under straightened arms, gently rock forward/backward and make small circles with your wrists to strengthen and flex muscles and tendons in the wrist and forearms. Rotator cuff and shoulder: Walk your hands a few inches forward, backwards and sideways. Walk one hand sideways while the other remains stationary. Work up to a spider crawl. Spine and core: hold the regular plank 15-20 seconds. Next time, flex lift your butt up then sag slightly down (similar to yoga downward facing and cobra). Do alternating side planks to get those obliques. Triceps: This muscle on the back of your arm plays a major role preventing injuries from falls. When falling, you instinctively reach out your hand

to decelerate and deflect the force. Try eccentric push ups. From a plank position, simply go down very slowly, folding your elbows. The triceps lengthen to slow your descent. The next NFL game you watch, look for players’ hands reaching out—wrists and elbows slightly bent—then the elbow folding to slow the fall when a player is tackled. After these plank variations, stand up and do some squats and side lunges to develop glutes to protect your pelvis and spine if you fall backwards on your butt.

SOUND

Expanding the Sounds of Bluegrass How Nashville helped transform The Infamous Stringdusters By Isaac Biehl

Scott McCormick

“When I was about 18, somebody gave me a Bill Monroe boxset for my birthday, and that really turned me into bluegrass in a big way.”

—ANDY HALL

“We were all sort of bluegrass musicians in Nashville. Most of us didn’t grow up in bluegrass so we were trying to figure that all out,” says Andy Hall, vocalist and dobro player. “We were all interested in expanding the sounds of bluegrass.” Being able to take advantage of what Nashville had to offer within the bluegrass community was huge for the band members. Hall cited bluegrass heroes such as Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush and Bela Fleck as just some of the greats who have lived and performed in that very musical city. It’s basically a who’s who of bluegrass, and The Stringdusters were able to soak that all up. Hall says he originally started out listening to rock and heavy metal. It wasn’t until his senior year of high school that he started expanding his horizons, which ultimately would lead to a move

f you were trying to get someone into bluegrass today, recommending this band or their recent album would probably be a solid start. The Infamous Stringdusters became Grammy winners in 2018 for the album, “Laws Of Gravity.” The Stringdusters work to bring a fresh take to bluegrass and try to push their musical boundaries. Even if it didn’t start with Grammy aspirations, things kind of worked out in the end.

Nashville helped The Infamous Stringdusters discover bluegrass.

into bluegrass. Once he dove in, the genre felt like home. “I started as a heavy metal guitar player. Then I started to find some other sounds I liked,” Hall recalls. “When I was about 18, somebody gave me a Bill Monroe boxset for my birthday and that really turned me into bluegrass in a big way. Hall admits bluegrass can be an acquired taste, but that’s why the band members work so hard to incorporate new aspects to their music. They experiment with a lot of rhythms and tempos that one might find more regularly in rock or funk. That’s the biggest challenge of being a bluegrass band in 2019, says Hall. It’s mainly just trying to “get people over the hump.” If someone needed to get over the

hump, going to an Infamous Stringdusters show might do the trick. When the band is live you can expect a fiery stage presence and performance that will reach throughout the crowd. “That all came about pretty naturally,” Hall says of the group’s stage chemistry. “We like to move. A lot of times during a jam or a solo, two people will come together on stage and kind of face off. We just like being in each other’s spaces when we’re doing things together. I feel like you can get a lot from that.” The Infamous Stringdusters have an album ready for release in the spring. It includes 13 brand new songs, with a single coming in the next few weeks. Until then, you can catch them taking over the Midtown Ballroom Jan. 23.

A Community Thread: Shanan Kelley Building community, one interview at a time By Joshua Langlais

Editor’s note: Joshua Langlais is a local photographer and the creator of “A Community Thread,” a project for which he interviews folks on the subject of community, its importance, and how we function as individuals within it. We featured Langlais’ journey to this project in the Dec. 20 issue—quickly realizing the project would be great fodder for a Source Spotlight. Stay tuned for snippets from Langlais’ project each month.

elow is an excerpt from his interview with Shanan Kelley in August 2018. Kelley has many descriptors, but she is perhaps most notably known for being the host of The Night Light Show (thenightlightshow.com). A Community Thread: What does being a part of community mean to you? Shanan Kelley: “It’s an interesting conversation, for sure. And I think my answer is probably gonna be all over the place. But, because my understanding of community and how necessary it is has really evolved over the years—particularly in the last couple of years—I recognize as I’m on my path to becoming as well as I can be that it’s essential that I have people around me. There [are] different areas where you need specific

help and support and community, and so I have these specialized areas where I have a lot of strong community. “And then in the larger sense, I can say several years ago—I had been living in Bend at the time for I guess five years or so—and I was I was having a hell of a time. I was coming out of the recession. I was experiencing a death year. I don’t know if you’ve ever had a death year—it’s really intense. And my dog got really sick and almost died and this really crazy miracle happened. Everybody put together a crowdfunding page—this was kind of when crowdfunding was still pretty new—and in like hours this chunk of money was available for me to get this emergency surgery for my dog. A lot of the names were anonymous, but looking through at these amounts of money that came through, I was like, ‘I have something here that I didn’t even realize I had.

But they showed me. In this really concrete way, they demonstrated that they cared about me enough to pony up cash to set me up to have this crazy experience with my dog, who was, at the time, absolutely my unit.

Through collaborations with Portland-based performance artist Holcombe Waller, he’s created video installations that he performs in front of, adding to the story and mystique of D’Auntie Carol. It may be surprising to see a drag queen with such an iconic mustache—but that’s just part of Young’s face. “Do you have to wipe away all of your masculinity before you become a woman?

moved to Bend about five years ago after spending the majority of his life in Portland. “Back in the ‘90s, when I first arrived in Portland, everything was a dress-up party. Even just gatherings in people’s basements, you were welcome to show up however you wanted to show up,” shares Young. It was this world of inclusion and creativity that sparked his own inner artistry, allowing Young to explore the world of costume and characters. In fact, it’s the world of radical faeries and gender fluidity that Young seeks to explore and expose to a larger audience. “It’s not just about being pretty and throwing on a wig. There is an inherent ancestral magic in being a queer person and doing this,” says Young. For him, it’s more punk rock than glam—more about creating an inclusive world outside the system and sticking a middle finger up at it,

they need, so I need to be able to listen in and know what that is. I then also have to be willing to take a risk and put my own spin on it and put my own word and messaging out there, too, and know how ever it’s received is irrelevant. Or maybe it is relevant. I don’t know. And then I also think that there’s a couple of other parts of the agreement. And, actually, this is maybe where we need to start just having contracts with how we engage with our community because it probably would serve us well to have it written out really well. I also think it’s important for me to leave this community and go see what other communities are doing and bring that back and share that with what I have here. “I also think, for me, I have so many different communities. I have all these different things I have my fingers in. And so a lot of them very much overlap and I like that. But it can definitely be... it’s full. It’s really full.

Small imperceptible changes is what Palermo recommends, so your brain doesn’t recognize the shift as a threat or stress.

There are a lot of reasons to change what you eat, including weight loss, health improvement or environmental reasons. Any diet change can be difficult, so I asked people in the fitness community for advice. Boring can be good “Change is hard, like, really, really hard,” said Aaron Tandem, a coach at Empowered Strength. “There’s no point in sugar-coating it (which, may be something we’re trying to avoid; you know, the sugar), so let’s not kid ourselves and simply accept the fact that making changes in our eating habits is anything but easy. If we can make these changes as easy as possible, we are more likely to be successful in the long run. "Meal planning, and as a byproduct, meal-prepping, is the way to do that. "Simple is best, but 'boring' is even better. At least, boring in the sense that it’s not necessary for every meal to look like it was made by Gordon Ramsay, Tandem said." "With all my clients, I tell them that you’re most likely to be successful if you do your best to eat the same things on a regular basis. Same breakfast, same lunch, same dinner. By doing so, you allow time at the beginning of your week to plan what meals you’d like to eat, and also time to make some, if not all, of those meals. This manner of planning makes things predictable and proactive, as opposed to the reactive nature in which we tend to eat. "The goal is to never hit the point where you have to ask yourself, ‘Hmm… what am I going to eat today?’ Because,

Tandem prescribes eating the same thing every day to take the guesswork out of what to eat.

you’ll already know! "Start simple and boring. Once you’ve mastered that, then add some more variety.” Try little changes If meal prepping sounds a little intense, Denise Palermo, owner and personal trainer at Movement Voodoo, recommends “making a 10 percent change.” “I had a client who made great daily food choices,” said Palermo. “Yet this man was very overweight, depressed and in a lot of pain. It wasn’t until a few sessions into his program that he finally revealed he ate an entire box of Oreos every night.

“The goal is to never hit the point where you have to ask yourself, ‘Hmm…. what am I going to eat today?’” —AARON TANDEM "Instead of telling him to give up the Oreos, he was simply asked to eat one less Oreo each night. He got to continue to eat his entire package of Oreos but leave one. Next night, he left two. Every night, he simply left one more cookie in the package until the night he ate no Oreos. "His body changed, slowly, imperceptibly. He never felt deprived. He never once cheated. This true story is an example of the 10 percent rule. "When you make drastic changes, your brain will re-wire these new activities to always feel like stress and a threat to the body. Working out will never feel enjoyable. Eating will have a trauma trigger and may feel like punishment or worse, like a forbidden activity," Palermo said.

Tuning into how you feel when you eat can help you make better feel good choices in the future, suggests Bowen.

"Small, imperceptible shifts, a mere 10 percent at a time, is a technique to make effortless, lasting change that feels rewarding and enjoyable…and that will last.” What trainers eat Tandem and Palermo shared useful tips for making change, but what do the trainers eat? I asked Deb Bowen, Pilates instructor and owner of Bend Pilates, what she eats. “Being in the studio all day,” said Bowen, “I find it hard to sneak in bites, so I drink my meals. On most days, I head into the studio with a couple jars full of nutrient-dense smoothies. One with good fats and proteins and the other a green drink or fresh vegetable juice. Some of the ingredients you might find in my protein drink are: Brazil nuts, walnuts, flax seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, quality plant protein powder, collagen peptides, a few dates and Himalayan sea salt. My favorite green drink is made by Greens First; it boasts a refreshing minty flavor. If I’m in a hurry I just add water. Other times, I might blend in mango, spinach and lime. If I have enough time in the morning, I love making fresh veggie juice.” Do you ever eat real food, I asked. “Yes,” Bowen replied. “Outside of the studio I do eat! I feel best when I choose clean proteins and vegetables. I think it’s really important to tune in and take note on how you feel after eating. I find if I truly know how eating something makes me feel I tend to avoid it or eat more of it. It feels good to feel good! Finding the balance of eating well, keeping hydrated and exercising regularly is not always easy but every day is a new opportunity to make choices for health and vitality.”

CRAFT Keeping It Real (Ale) Cask-conditioned beer, done properly in Central Oregon

By Zach Beckwith

…a dedicated group of publicans and brewers in Oregon and beyond, emboldened by an increasingly knowledgeable and adventurous customer base, are bringing caskconditioned beers to a new audience. People who aren’t brewers or beer geeks or who haven’t spent time in the United Kingdom may be unfamiliar with cask-conditioned beer. It’s not a style, it’s a process. The beer is fermented with ale yeast as usual and then racked into casks (10.8 gallon firkins or 5.4 gallon pins, typically) where the beer undergoes a secondary fermentation, creating additional complexity and light carbonation. After the secondary fermentation is complete, the casks must be handled carefully to allow the yeast to drop out of suspension before dispensing. This critical step (which, in British pubs, is handled by a dedicated cellar person) is the one most often skipped over in this country, resulting in cloudy beer. Though haze has become sought after in some beers, a proper pint of real ale should pour crystal clear. Once the

ew things in the world of beer are as passionately loved and at the same time misunderstood as true cask-conditioned “real ale.” Rescued from near extinction in the 1970s by the Campaign for Real Ale in its home country of England, cask-conditioned ales have remained an odd curiosity in the U.S. In recent years, a dedicated group of publicans and brewers in Oregon and beyond, emboldened by an increasingly knowledgeable and adventurous customer base, are bringing cask-conditioned beers to a new audience. Early craft brewers offered a mish mash of classic styles in an attempt to educate drinkers who were just beginning to discover the world of beer beyond light lagers. As the craft beer market matured and became a part of the mainstream, niche producers have emerged to provide drinkers a more immersive connection to particular styles and techniques. Central Oregon is known chiefly for IPAs but is also able to support specialized brewers, such as the Belgian-focused Monkless and the wild-fermented, mix-culture beers of Ale Apothecary. In recent years this specialization has led to a tiny but growing interest in traditional cask-conditioned ales.

beer has settled, it’s dispensed using a hand pump without additional CO2. The differences between cask beer and regular draft beer are what have led detractors to dismiss cask beer as “warm and flat.” High carbonation and icecold temperatures both numb our taste buds to a point where subtle nuances are lost. The warmer cellar temperature (50F) and lighter carbonation of cask beer allows the subtleties of the delicate interplay of malt, hops and yeast to shine through. Certain beer styles, such as Dark Mild and Ordinary Bitter, lend themselves better to cask conditioning because of these subtleties. Central Oregon is lucky to have access to exceptional, properly conditioned real ale both locally and within a short drive. Deschutes’ early lineup, like most pioneering Northwest brewers, was inspired by English styles. One of its earliest beers, Bachelor Bitter, is routinely offered on cask at the original Bond Street pub along with a second rotating handle. Redmond’s Porter Brewing became Central Oregon’s first all-cask brewery when it opened in September. The family-run operation pours eight different cask beers ranging from the 4.3 percent ABV Best Bitter to the obligatory 1772 Porter. Farther afield in the sleepy former logging town turned mountain bike destination of Oakridge, Ore., Brewer’s Union Local 180 has been pouring cask-conditioned beer for a decade. The cozy pub acts as a community meeting place that serves some of the best cask beer this side of the pond and is well worth the 1.5-hour drive.

Holy heck, everyone! Another year has come and gone and here we are to share it with one another. It’s 2019, which is the year “Blade Runner” took place, so I guess we’re lucky we don’t live in a dystopian nightmare, but we also don’t have flying cars which is somewhat of a disappointment. Podcasts and streaming services are both bigger than ever before, which means this year will be filled with a staggering number of choices when it comes to what we can spend our precious time watching or putting inside our ears. With that said, here are a few things that have made this year special for me.

In Pod We Trust:

Bingeworthy:

I’m not sure if everyone agrees with me on this, but most comedy podcasts are trying too hard. It can be hard for “fun” to translate over the airwaves, so a lot of the improv/comedy podcasts end up sounding like daily morning shows, desperate for listeners to play along with their zany hijinks. That’s why “Bodega Boys” is such a breath of fresh air. Hosts Desus Nice and The Kid Mero are so effortlessly hilarious that the laughter barely lets up for the entire running time. This is easily the funniest podcast going right now and each new episode firmly cements the show as an all-timer. But my absolutely favorite new podcast has to be “Gay Future.” Check out this premise: It’s a fake serialized adaptation of a very non-existent YA novel written by Vice President Mike Pence in 2002. It’s like every single nightmare Pence has ever had about the “Gay Agenda” where in the future everyone in America is gay and goes to Gay Academy, where they’re sorted into two different houses: Top or Bottom. Did I mention John Travolta is the sorting hat and the president is Clay Aiken? The best.

Netflix has been doing a great job with its true crime documentaries lately, and “Murder Mountain” is no exception. It’s a haunting and thought-provoking look at the darker side of marijuana cultivation and the danger inherent in growing millions of dollars worth of anything. The show focuses on Humboldt County, Calif., and the people who’ve gone missing on Murder Mountain. It’s a chilling documentary that sheds light on an area that’s become almost mystical to potheads around the globe. If the darker side of American life is a little heavier than what you’re looking for, Netflix has added a bunch of classic stand-up comedy, including specials from Bill Hicks, Sam Kinison and Denis Leary. The comedy selection has always been pretty great, but those Bill Hicks shows are priceless.

Run, Bike, Float, Repeat

Easy Float’s first sponsored athlete takes on the Leadman & Leadwoman Leadville Series for his older brother By Isaac Biehl

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 03 / JANUARY 17, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

unning is hard. Biking is hard. Work is hard. Almost anything in life can deal you stress – it’s all just a battle in how we choose to manage things. Not all ailments are ones that are visible, either. Bryan Messmer, founder of Easy Float, says insomnia is what pushed him into the floating business. “Dude, I tried everything. I was doing Melatonin, Valerian Root, exercising like crazy, no coffee at all, no beer, no water after 5 and then I tried Trazadone,” details Messmer of his sleeping battles. “And the only thing that helped me sleep was floating.” Messmer described his first floating experience as “miserable,” but he was getting the best sleep of his life. “The first float is tricky. It’s a practice for sure,” recalls Messmer. “That’s why I encourage people to get the first one out of the way. Then try the second. And if you don’t like it the second, or third, then maybe it’s not for you.”

“I’m doing this race series to raise awareness for mental illness and schizophrenia in particular. Which is something I don’t think people are doing very often.” —ERIC HEINEMANN Easy Float opened in February 2017, back in Denver, Colo. Being an Oregon native, Messmer was excited to arrive in Bend and open a location in the former Float Central location. Easy Float Bend’s first official float was in November. In the float tank, the body is suspended without the pressures of gravity. It works out knots and tension within the muscles because, according to Messmer, the body relaxes into its most natural state. This suspension is achieved from the around 900 lbs. of Epsom salt in the tank. These are just the more obvious physical benefits, Messmer says, but there are also a lot of neurological benefits as well. “The number one thing, with Easy Float as a brand, is it’s designed to be for everyone,” says Messmer. “Everyone from people with fibromyalgia, arthritis, ambiguous auto-immune pain, to, like, stressed out suit-and-tie-level executives and everyone in between.” Benefits for endurance athletes Endurance athletes are another portion of that demographic. Bendite Eric Heinemann is currently training to complete the Leadman & Leadwoman races—a series of six races based in Leadville, Colo., part of the Leadville Race Series. To complete the series, racers must finish five of the six biking and running race options spread throughout the summer. To register for the series, racers enter a lottery and are selected to compete. Last year there were fewer than 50 athletes who registered, according to Heinemann—a pretty clear indication of how tough these races are. (The race series website states that 44 racers registered in 2018.)

Above, Eric Heinemann will start his “Leadman” journey June 15. Inset, look inside a float tank.

“Not that many people are willing or wanting to do this,” says Heinemann. “It will be pretty difficult. It’s huge for me. I’m not too worried about the ramp-up races, but the 100-mile running race is one week after the 100-mile mountain bike race. I’ve never even run more than 30 miles.” Already being a pretty consistent cyclist, Heinemann’s training is focused on trying to stay out longer on his bikes and runs, and to eventually get up to around half the distance of the races. To help with recovery, Heinemann started floating around two winters ago. Now he’s a regular. “For me it was an instant (snaps fingers) this is great – this feels great for me,” he recalls. “For an amateur athlete, or any athlete, it kind of resets me physically. And mentally it’s a meditation.” For Heinemann, the motivation is from one of those invisible ailments. “My purpose for entering this year is my brother. He’s schizophrenic,” Heinemann said. “It’s going to be his 50th birthday in early June. I’m doing this race series to raise awareness for mental illness and schizophrenia in particular. Which is something I don’t think people are doing very often.”

Heinemann has previously completed the 100-mile mountain bike race, where he found himself alongside a pair of brothers doing the race together. This was a partial moment of inspiration for Heinemann, as he could only imagine what it would be like to get to ride this with his older brother Steve. “He’s been on strong medications for years. He’s not the same guy I knew when I was kid,” recalls Heinemann. “I was thinking that could have been us. Riding around. Going back and forth about different tactics. And then bagging on the other guy because he’s not doing as well or whatever.” While Heinemann doesn’t know if his brother will be able to make it out to the races in person, he knows Steve will still be the driving force that helps him get the job done.

They’re on the Move!

On birds in winter, and all those robins you’re seeing right now By Jim Anderson

He was out to kill the reflection of himself in the big window in the front my house where the bird bath was. There are two, no, three distinct populations of robins. Perhaps I should give them their proper name, American robins — inhabiting Central Oregon in any given 365-day year. First, we have the resident robins. They’re the ones who defend a territory, raise a family, the males sing a beautiful song all day long and they’re ready to do battle with any robin that dares enter their territory — even the one reflected in a window! Sometimes male robins aren’t too bright about battling what they perceive as a competitor for his lady-love’s attention and nesting territory. One morning I was aware of a male robin doing battle with something under the eaves of my house, and discovered it was himself. He was out to kill the reflection of himself in the big window in the front of my house where the bird bath was. I finally had to place a silhouette of a Cooper’s Hawk on the window so when the goofy robin came back to do battle with himself, he saw the hawk silhouette first and stopped beating his brains out. Then there are the robins that come down from the north in winter. I have no idea who throws the switch and tells “our” robins to head south and make room for the robins from the north, but it does seem to take place overnight. (I think it’s the angle of the sun, or duration of daylight that tells robins when to head south and north.) During the annual Christmas Bird Count, it’s not uncommon to see 15,000

flickr.com / C Watts

every year since we opened!

Red robins are everywhere right now.

robins flying around Central Oregon wolfing down juniper berries by the millions. They’re also good at finding apples still clinging to the branches and on the ground beneath the trees. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the robins that inhabit this neck of the woods in winter, it’s how vital water is to the welfare of animals in winter. I’m a big believer in water features that have water for wildlife all year long, and especially in winter. Some animals can eat snow and convert it to water, but even for them it’s a close call, especially when the temperature goes down to below zero. If you don’t have a water feature and are thinking of building one, please be sure to install a heater in it so free-running water is available to wildlife all winter. If you want to have a glimpse of how important it is to have fresh water for your own body in winter, take note of how thirsty you are after cross-country skiing for about two hours. I’d come into the house and find myself gulping down a gallon of water after a wonderful day coming back from Bachelor to Sunriver on the cross-country trail. The third population of robins to pass through Central Oregon takes place in late February to mid-March. These are a mixture of wintering robins moving north from here with “our” wintering robins coming up from the Sacramento area returning to the breeding grounds in Oregon, Washington and Canada. What a conglomeration of robins that is. Most of the males are already in breeding plumage, their bright orange breasts glowing in the morning sun and singing their hearts out with all the spring sunlight around them. Sometimes, like frosting on the cake, a bunch of Cedar waxwings will be with the robins, both pigging out on juniper

berries and coming to a water feature just about sunup. One of our water features is a small pan under an outdoor faucet just outside our bedroom window. I have a heat tape plugged in to keep the water moving in the above ground pipe with a faucet set to drip (loudly) so the water can be heard splashing into the pan from considerable distance. If you sleep with your windows open as we do, just about sunup, my wife, Sue, gives me a nudge and says, “Hey, Jim, the robins are here and the waxwings are with them.” She can hear them talking when they come in for water at dawn, while I, without my Central Oregon Audiology hearing devices, am deaf as a post and sound asleep. But, oh boy! When I put those hearing devices in, my world comes alive once again and there’s no more sleeping. If you can place your water feature so the robins wake you up at dawn, and then have it close enough to your kitchen window so you can also see and enjoy the other morning birds when they come in, it’s the best thing in the world. I have the added pleasure of watching the Lesser goldfinches as they come to the thistle feeder and then watching other finches when they come to the dripper. Then, as frosting on the cake, the Northern flicker—who uses the nesting box in my backyard —comes to the suet feeder and then the nemesis of the bird world comes sneaking in, the big female Cooper’s hawk looking for breakfast. The water feature and feeders are birdless for the two hours it takes the accipiter to get her breakfast, time for a nap, and to see what I got on camera when all the activity was keeping me awake. If you want to ask about your water feature, drop me a line: jimnaturalist@ gmail.com and we’ll chinwag.

f you haven’t seen them, you’re either not paying attention, or you’re really busy doing something else. It’s really hard to miss them, especially if they’re pooping all over your deck like they are at my place, or on your car if it’s parked under the juniper tree at the edge of your driveway. Robins! Yeah, lots of robins! Hundreds of robins, and lots of robin poop, too. You’ve heard the old story how robins eat juniper berries and then go around flying and running into things, drunk-as-a-skunk, and that sort of goofy stuff. Yes, they do eat juniper berries, along with any other berry they can find. Yes, they do get into stress if they don’t have enough water to help them pass the berries through their crop without fermenting and causing them distress. But the business about their getting drunk is a tall tale that’s been around so long it’s got whiskers, like me.

Talks of Recession Surfacing with Government Shutdown Worries expressed about housing market canstockphoto.com

MID>>

his past week, numerous headlines have emerged about prolonged government shutdowns leading to a recession. With the 2008 recession still fresh in everyone’s mind, the word “recession” makes people think of another housing recession. While some prominent economists have talked about an economic recession, housing has not been a concern because strict lending regulations were put in place to prevent the same situation. Most industry writers feel that because we have high demand for housing, things could slow down a bit, but the high demand and inventory shortages will continue to make prices go up. A study of home price behavior during the last five economic

recessions showed that home prices declined in 1990 and 2008. The decline in 1990 was less than 1 percent and during the other three recessions in 1980, 1981-82, and 2001, home prices actually went up. While affordability continues to be an issue, overall, the market appears stable—and based on recent historical data on recessions, it’s likely that our next recession may have only a minimal effect, if any, on housing price declines. At the time of this writing, Freddie Mac reported our mortgage rates were at the lowest rate in nine months at 4.45 percent, despite the rise in interest rates by the Federal Reserve—so there definitely is good news countering the fears of bad news.

My girlfriend of three years recently took a trip home for a weekend wedding. Before she left, I asked her, “Can you set my expectations as to how often I’ll hear from you?” She said she’d call every day. She called each of the three days but never stayed on the phone very long, always giving some excuse: She was in a bar, the hosts were sleeping, etc. In three days, she spent a total of 43 minutes speaking and reconnecting with me. I told her I felt really hurt by how little time she allocated. She responded that there were things planned, that she was sometimes at the behest of others driving her places, etc. I am sure that’s all true. Though I’m not insecure, I’ve felt insecure about my relationship with her. So...what do you think? Do I have a valid reason to feel neglected and invisible? —Ignored

Where there’s smoke—like, say, puffs of it coming out of a first-floor window— there’s sometimes a stick of incense burning; no reason to run for the garden hose and turn the living room into a stylishly furnished wading pool. If your girlfriend imagined what you’d be doing in her absence, it probably wasn’t standing over the phone for 72 hours straight, willing it to ring. Chances are, she isn’t entirely tuned in to how insecure you are about her commitment to you. Also, wedding weekends these days tend to be packed with activities from breakfast to nightcap. So...there’s an initial idea of how much alone time one would have, and then there’s the actual free time between sleep, showering, and “Our ride’s here! You can take your rollers out on the way to the church!” As for the het-up state you found yourself in, what I often call our “guard dog emotions” can be a little overprotective—and that’s actually an evolved feature, not a flaw. It’s sometimes in our best interest to see unclearly. In fact, human perception evolved to be inaccurate at times— protectively inaccurate, explain evolutionary psychologists Martie Haselton and David Buss, in favor of helping us survive and pass on our genes. This makes us prone to be oversensitive to signs of infidelity—which is to say, our suspicion is easily triggered, even by harmless, innocent behavior. This oversensitivity is evolutionarily

sensible—protective of our interests. For example, it’s typically much more costly for a man to be undersensitive—all “Naw, I’m sure everything’s fine!”—when he’s about to be deceived into paying for college, grad school, and rehab for a kid with some other dude’s genes. The problem is, an infidelity alarm system that defaults to DEFCON “HOW DARE YOU, YOU HUSSY!” can also take a toll, even on a partner who really loves you. The jealousy, possessiveness, and badgering for reassurance that ensue can make the cost of the relationship start to outweigh the benefits. This isn’t to say you can’t ask for reassurance; you just need Amy Alkon to do it in a way that doesn’t make your partner long to put you out on the curb like an old couch. First figure out whether there’s anything to those alarm bells going off in you -- whether you have any reason to believe your girlfriend is cheating or is unhappy in the relationship. If not, chances are, your compulsion to turn her iPhone into her wireless leash stems from what the late psychologist Albert Ellis called “catastrophizing” -telling yourself it would be HORRIBLE and TERRIBLE and you would just DIE EVERY DAY FOREVER if your relationship ended. (Drama queen!) (P.S. We’ve all had our turn wearing the dingy tiara of gloom.) The reality is, a breakup could lead to a stretch of mope-apalooza -- weeks or months snot-sobbing into a pillow, along with the occasional sobfest in the frozen foods aisle. Obviously, you’d rather not go through this. HOWEVER!...if you did, you’d eventually recover, get back out there, and maybe even get into a relationship that’s better for you. Reflect regularly (like, daily) on this rational corrective to your irrational thinking; accept that your relationship could end and admit that you could deal if it did. Once you calm down a little, ask your girlfriend for clarification and reassurance about her feelings for you. In time, when she’s away, you could be obsessing over those highly enjoyable activities we women call “weird gross guy stuff”: Eat black bean taquitos and try to break your previous records for fart volume and velocity. Play “Minecraft” for 46 hours straight, wearing only a pair of superhero underwear. And finally, seize the opportunity to create timeless art -- which is to say, draw a face on your penis and shoot remakes of classic films: “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope!”

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In May 1927,

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): More than four centuries ago, a Piscean samurai named Honda Tadakatsu became a leading general in the Japanese army. In the course of his military career, he fought in more than a hundred battles. Yet he never endured a major wound and was never beaten by another samurai. I propose we make him your inspirational role model for the coming weeks. As you navigate your way through interesting challenges, I believe that like him, you’ll lead a charmed life. No wounds. No traumas. Just a whole lot of educational adventures. ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1917, leaders of the Christian sect Jehovah’s Witnesses prophesied that all earthly governments would soon disappear and Christianity would perish. In 1924, they predicted that the ancient Hebrew prophet Moses would be resurrected and speak to people everywhere over the radio. In 1938, they advised their followers not to get married or have children, because the end of civilization was nigh. In 1974, they said there was only a “short time remaining before the wicked world’s end.” I bring these failed predictions to your attention, Aries, so as to get you in the mood for my prediction, which is: all prophecies that have been made about your life up until now are as wrong as the Jehovah Witnesses’ visions. In 2019, your life will be bracingly free of old ideas about who you are and who you’re supposed to be. You will have unprecedented opportunities to prove that your future is wide open.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Movie critic Roger Ebert defined the term “idiot plot” as “any film plot containing problems that would be solved instantly if all of the characters were not idiots.” I bring this to your attention because I suspect there has been a storyline affecting you that in some ways fits that description. Fortunately, any temptation you might have had to go along with the delusions of other people will soon fade. I expect that as a result, you will catalyze a surge of creative problem-solving. The idiot plot will transform into a much smarter plot. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1865, Prussia’s political leader, Otto von Bismarck, got angry when an adversary, Rudolf Virchow, suggested cuts to the proposed military budget. Bismarck challenged Virchow to a duel. Virchow didn’t want to fight, so he came up with a clever plan. As the challenged party, he was authorized to choose the weapons to be used in the duel. He decided upon two sausages. His sausage would be cooked; Bismarck’s sausage would be crammed with parasitic roundworms. It was a brilliant stratagem. The proposition spooked Bismarck, who backed down from the duel. Keep this story in mind if you’re challenged to an argument, dispute, or conflict in the coming days. It’s best to figure out a tricky or amusing way to avoid it altogether. CANCER (June 21-July 22): An imaginative 27-year-old man with the pseudonym Thewildandcrazyoli decided he was getting too old to keep his imaginary friend in his life. So he took out an ad on Ebay, offering to sell that long-time invisible ally, whose name was John Malipieman. Soon his old buddy was dispatched to the highest bidder

for $3,000. Please don’t attempt anything like that in the coming weeks, Cancerian. You need more friends, not fewer—both of the imaginary and non-imaginary variety. Now is a ripe time to expand your network of compatriots.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In December 1981, nov-

ice Leo filmmaker James Cameron got sick, fell asleep, and had a disturbing dream. He saw a truncated robot armed with kitchen knives crawling away from an explosion. This nightmare ultimately turned out to be a godsend for Cameron. It inspired him to write the script for the 1984 film The Terminator, a successful creation that launched him on the road to fame and fortune. I’m expecting a comparable development in your near future, Leo. An initially weird or difficult event will actually be a stroke of luck.

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 03 / JANUARY 17, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Aquarian aviator Charles Lindbergh made a pioneering flight in his one-engine plane from New York to Paris. He became instantly famous. Years later, Lindbergh testified that partway through his epic journey he was visited by a host of odd, vaporous beings who suddenly appeared in his small cabin. They spoke with him, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of navigation and airplane technology. Lindbergh’s spirits were buoyed. His concentration, which had been flagging, revived. He was grateful for their unexpected support. I foresee a comparable kind of assistance becoming available to you sometime soon, Aquarius. Don’t waste any time being skeptical about it; just welcome it.

2019

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Psychologists define the Spotlight Effect as our tendency to imagine that other people are acutely attuned to every little nuance of our behavior and appearance. The truth is that they’re not, of course. Most everyone is primarily occupied with the welter of thoughts buzzing around inside his or her own head. The good news, Virgo, is that you are well set up to capitalize on this phenomenon in the coming weeks. I’m betting you will achieve a dramatic new liberation: you’ll be freer than ever before from the power of people’s opinions to inhibit your behavior or make you self-conscious. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What North America community is farthest north? It’s an Alaskan city that used to be called Barrow, named after a British admiral. But in 2016, local residents voted to reinstate the name that the indigenous Iñupiat people had once used for the place: Utqiaġvik. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that in the coming weeks, you take inspiration from their decision, Libra. Return to your roots. Pay homage to your sources. Restore and revive the spirit of your original influences.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Alaskan town of Talkeetna has a population of 900, so it doesn’t require a complicated political structure to manage its needs. Still, it made a bold statement by electing a cat as its mayor for 15 years. Stubbs, a part-manx, won his first campaign as a write-in candidate, and his policies were so benign—no new taxes, no repressive laws—that he kept getting re-elected. What might be the equivalent of having a cat as your supreme leader for a while, Scorpio? From an astrological perspective, now would be a favorable time to implement that arrangement. This phase of your cycle calls for relaxed fun and amused mellowness and laissez-faire jauntiness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Trees need to be buffeted by the wind. It makes them strong. As they respond to the pressure of breezes and gusts, they generate a hardier kind of wood called reaction wood. Without the assistance of the wind’s stress, trees’ internal structure would be weak and they might topple over as they grew larger. I’m pleased to report that you’re due to receive the benefits of a phenomenon that’s metaphorically equivalent to a brisk wind. Exult in this brisk but low-stress opportunity to toughen yourself up! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Writing at ThePudding, pop culture commentator Colin Morris reveals the conclusions he drew after analyzing 15,000 pop songs. First, the lyrics of today’s tunes have significantly more repetitiveness than the lyrics of songs in the 1960s. Second, the most popular songs, both then and now, have more repetitive lyrics than the average song. Why? Morris speculates that repetitive songs are catchier. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I encourage you Capricorns to be as unrepetitive as possible in the songs you sing, the messages you communicate, the moves you make, and the ideas you articulate. In the coming weeks, put a premium on originality, unpredictability, complexity, and novelty.

Here are a few highlights: • Medical marijuana patients can now bring home 8 ounces per day (up from 1 ounce, which had been reduced last summer from a previous limit of 24 ounces) • Licensed marijuana delivery services can access the entire state to deliver pot • Marijuana waste areas are now covered by the OLCC’s extensive surveillance camera rules • Wholesalers can now share trade samples to retailers from multiple producer licensees More Rumblings in D.C. While the federal government has ground to a standstill because the president is being denied his border vanity project, there are some legislative offerings for the cannabis industry. In addition to the STATES Act pushed last year by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), which would tell the feds to back off of marijuana businesses in legal adult-use states, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) introduced a resolution to remove marijuana from the controlled substances list entirely. His proposal would put the industry under the supervision of the current Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms law-enforcement agency. House Resolution 420 (natch) is referred to in the bill as the “Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act.” The bill has 26 co-sponsors (up from 19 in the 114th Congress).

o bones about it, 2018 was a rough one for the marijuana industry. Wholesale prices for marijuana plummeted and we saw the Oregon Liquor Control Commission halt new-license application processing in June, with no certainty if or when new licensees will get the chance to enter the market. Finally, we witnessed an anti-marijuana zealot elected to the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners, bringing the anti-weed zealot tally to two, or 67 percent of the Board. If you’re applying for a land-use permit or change to a permit that will go before the board, bring some extra spending money to appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals. Commissioners Phil Henderson and Patti Adair are odds-on favorites to rubber-stamp “no” for any marijuana application of any kind. For consumers, a lot of this is good news, as prices are falling at retail shops. Even for those wholly opposed to the cannabis industry, there’s solace in the unregulated market watching profits dry up (which is one of the main philosophical/political drivers behind ending prohibition and removing the public and private costs of criminal penalties). Also ringing in the new year are some new OLCC rules.

More Rumblings in Salem Once again, state Sen. Floyd Prozanski (D-Eugene) is sponsoring a bill in the Legislature that would allow Oregon marijuana products to be exported to other states with legal adult-use marijuana schemes. A similar bill died in the Legislature in 2017. With a Democrat supermajority in the Legislature, it might appear that this bill would have a solid chance of passing, but it faces some major logistical complications. First, what state would agree to go against the feds in such a brazen way, and invite federally illegal interstate trafficking? Moreover, because even though this proposition would forbid trafficking through illegal states, and Federal Aviation Administration rules would make air transport of pot dicey, there would only be three states with which trade could be conducted: California, Nevada and Washington. Finally, at what point does the Republican-controlled executive branch say “enough,” and begin handing out federal indictments to marijuana businesses if such a law is passed, a state agrees to play ball, and licensees load up the trucks? Either way, you have to admire the chutzpah of local lawmakers in reaching for the stars. If nothing else, Prozanski told the Salem Statesman-Journal last month, the proposal would put Oregon cannabis entrepreneurs in the driver’s seat should the federal government finally remove marijuana from the controlled substances list, giving the green light to interstate commerce. “I don’t want us to be flat-footed and (have) everyone running out at the same time trying to create something,” he said. Nosy Neighbors Sent Back Home If you want a silver lining to the turbulent political fights surrounding everything (not least of all the marijuana industry), you can look to the resounding defeats that Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations plaintiffs are suffering in federal court. RICO plaintiffs in Massachusetts, Colorado and California have all gone down in flames as judges declare their smell and property value complaints either frivolous or downright false. In Oregon, portions of a similar RICO case were dismissed, and another was settled out of court. RICO cases aren’t prohibited, however, and there could be a split in the circuits with respect to whether odor can affect property values and therefore grant an award to plaintiffs. Plus, in all cases, defendants are nursing financial wounds, so follow the Fred Rogers rule out there, pot farmers, and be a good neighbor. It’s your best defense.
