Opinion 4

Gov. Kate Brown brought her State of the State address to the Central Oregon City Club at the Riverhouse on the Deschutes Feb. 1. The address touched on Brown's priorities for the current legislative session, including her proposals to fund career and technical education, address the housing crisis, stem climate change and more.

Pet rent ban would do away with hidden “fee” for pet owners As Oregon continues to grapple with a housing supply problem, the Oregon Legislature has introduced a number of bills in the current session, covering everything from rent control to no-cause evictions to pet rent. Some bills surrounding housing can have unintended consequences. In the case of pet rent, it seems a case of unfair double-dipping on the part of landlords. Last week, an article in The Oregonian shed some light on HB 2683, a bill brought forward by three Oregon representatives that would ban pet rent in the state. According to the language of the bill, sponsored by Reps. Rob Nosse (D-Portland), Tawna Sanchez (D-Portland) and Karin Power (D-Milwaukie), it “prohibits landlords that allow pets from charging tenants additional rent or fees based on possession of pets.” Landlords would be barred from charging a “one-time, monthly or other periodic amount” of rent based on the fact that a pet lives in the home. The bill was in committee as of press time. Opponents of the bill would argue that pets, by and large, inevitably cause damage to properties, and thus, the bill is unfair to landlords, who should be able to recoup the damages done by pets in a rental home. We agree with that—but we disagree that pet rent is the way to go about it. Pet rent, by its very name, indicates that it’s a monthly, non-returnable fee. That’s unfair— largely because pet rent offers no framework or guarantee that should a pet damage a home, the “pet rent” will be used to fix it. What’s more, non-refundable pet fees are against the law in Oregon already. Here’s an example that can shed light on the challenges. Say a landlord charges a tenant $25 pet rent per month for the tenant’s dog. In addition, the tenant pays a $500 pet deposit, as well as a standard security deposit of $500. (In some cases, landlords charge a separate pet deposit for each pet in the home.) The tenant remains in the home for three years—paying an additional $1200 in “pet rent” throughout their tenancy.

When it comes time for the tenant to move out, the landlord determines that the carpets need to be replaced due to the pet, at a cost of $1200. The landlord keeps all of the $1000 the tenant paid in deposits, and then sends the tenant a bill for the remaining $200 in carpet replacement fees. Because the “pet rent” was not a deposit and there’s no obligation for the landlord to use the pet rent toward damages, the tenant has no recourse but to pay the additional $200, or face a judgement in court should the landlord pursue one. We are not arguing that the tenant isn’t liable for the damages, but in this example, it’s unfair for a tenant to have paid a monthly pet rent that was ultimately not used to cover damages caused by the pet. In this example, the tenant paid additional money, simply for the right of the pet to exist within the rental space. Sure, it stands to reason that some reasonable landlords might put that pet rent toward additional damages, but when there’s no guarantee that those monies will go toward the purpose, pet rent is problematic. Landlords already have recourse in recouping damages done by pets in the way of deposits. When the cost of damages exceed the deposits, landlords have legal recourse to seek more money from the tenant responsible for those damages. With pet rent, tenants have no similar recourse. They’re simply paying a “fee” for something they’ll never see again—even if their pets do no damage to the property whatsoever. Some will argue that landlords can simply raise their rents to “add” the pet rent in surreptitiously. That may be true, but they’ll need to keep the rent competitive to similar units on the market—something that might be of concern the next time the market turns to favor renters. Likewise, landlords can also simply disallow pets, but many have found that yet another way to make the property more attractive to renters. Landlords can and should be able to charge deposits that will cover any damages to their investments—but these unfair “fees” in the way of pet rent should go by the wayside.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS AS LONG AS YOU’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PRESS When I heard that Wescom was filing for bankruptcy again I knew what was coming. Layoffs for the small town papers. My heart sank, not for Wescom, but for the employees who rely on Wescom to put food on their tables. These employees have been through pay cuts, loss of insurance, layoffs, more pay cuts, furlough days, extended furlough days and failed promises. During my 6+ years at Wescom I learned the “suck it up” take pay cuts, and enjoy unpaid days off. I became a pro at budgeting as I never knew when my payday would really happen. Every employee

was asked to make cuts, supervisors were asked to work extended hours and make it happen. Many promises were made, many promises were broken. WHY would anyone stay and work in these conditions? Because they are a family, they believe in the product they produce, they have small town pride in their newspaper, they believe in their work, they believe they make a difference in their community. Wescom pays their paychecks (eventually) but that is not what drives the team to produce an amazing paper for their subscribers to enjoy.

A BRIEF MOMENT OF QUIET I heard a sound early this winter morning; then I had a vision. The sound was near silence, unbelievably right here in the middle of Bend, ½ block from 3rd street. The vision was what it could be like in a future with autonomous vehicles powered by renewable resources, with lots of safe passage for people choosing to walk and bicycle. Every second of the day would be nearly as quiet, and the air would be so much cleaner. I can only hope that I live long enough to see it …and hear it. —Kevin Tanski

Restoring fish and wildlife habitat in Central Oregon’s rivers is hard work. It’s not for everyone, especially those who prefer to blame others or file expensive lawsuits, taking money away from actual fisheries restoration. It’s even harder if you choose to work with local, state and federal agencies and other stakeholders. But the effort is worth it because it’s the right thing to do. And it’s the choice we’ve embraced. Over the past two decades, farm and ranch families, irrigation districts, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, The City of Prineville, Crook County, and others have committed to improve salmon and steel head habitat in Wychus Creek, The Deschutes, Crooked, Crescent and the Little Deschutes Rivers. We’re grateful for the help we’ve received from elected officials and agencies. One example stands out. In 2014, Congressman Walden and Senator Merkley passed an unprecedented bill to improve fish and wildlife habitat in the Crooked River. Because of this new law, river flows are higher. Often, flows below the Bowman Dam are higher than the natural inflow to the dam. But Congress, also worked to ensure that local \farmers would have the right to use the same amount of water they have always had. And that is exactly what the law says. We appreciate those who make Central Oregon better for everyone by doing the hard, but necessary, work. —Frank Porfily

HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?

A WIN BUT NOT A SOLUTION FOR THE OCHOCO MOUNTAINS As the Source recently reported, quiet recreationists across the state rejoiced at the news that a plan proposing 130+ miles of additional off-road vehicle trails in the Ochocos was struck down by the courts. The proposal would have been bad news for wildlife like deer and elk as well as hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers. But stopping another bad plan isn’t the same as creating a good one that’s built to last. As central Oregon’s population continues to grow, what will stop the Ochocos from becoming overrun like the Deschutes National Forest? Don’t get me wrong - I love the Deschutes. A lot. As far as backyard playgrounds go, it doesn’t get much better. But the Deschutes is being loved to death. I don’t think anyone anticipated how fast our communities would grow, and as a result there was never a proactive, intentional plan for recreation on the Deschutes that balanced wildlife and other challenges. Today, many of us find ourselves regretting the fact that that planning never happened. At this point, the Ochocos still offer opportunities for solitude. You can plan a backcountry trip on a whim - no permits needed. You can take your daughter on her first elk hunt and still have a fair chance of finding one. You can snuggle into your sleeping bag at night and hear nothing but the wind, coyotes, and maybe an owl (if you’re lucky). But the secret’s out, and more people are discovering the region. So what does this court win mean for the future of the Ochocos? It’s a big win, but it’s temporary. Striking down every bad idea from now til infinity is futile, not to mention a recipe for unnecessary conflict. What we need is a comprehensive plan for the Ochocos that balances recreation, restoration, and conservation. We need to do what it takes now, so we don’t have regrets

later. We need Congress (that’s you Ron Wyden, Jeff Merkley, and Greg Walden) to step up and make sure the Ochocos are sustainably cared for long-term. These days our natural treasures need more friends. Let’s celebrate the good news for the Ochocos and roll up our sleeves to get to work on support long term solutions. —Jamie Dawson, Ochoco Mountains Coordinator, Oregon Wild

Detroit Lake, Ore. during a low-water year.

Three-quarters of Oregon is in “Severe Drought” Nearly all of Deschutes County is facing “extreme drought” By Chris Miller

lmost 93 percent of Deschutes County is in extreme drought conditions, according to information released by the U.S. Drought Monitor, a mapping tool produced by a number of federal agencies. One-hundred percent of the county is facing “abnormally dry” conditions, “moderate” and “severe drought,” according to data from the U.S. Drought Monitor, released Jan. 31. Statewide, the outlook isn’t much better. Nearly 75 percent of Oregon is in severe drought and 90 percent of the state is considered to be in moderate drought conditions—meaning 3.6 million people are living in some level of drought. That includes Lincoln County on the wet Oregon coast, usually immune from low-water years. Kathie Dello, associate director of the Oregon Climate Research Institute said in an Oregonlive story that the reason for the drought isn’t complicated: the state just isn’t getting the rain it’s used to. Storms that typically hit Oregon are veering north or south, leaving the state with lower stream levels, less water for agriculture and smaller snowpacks. “The number one priority and

concern for us is water,” Kevin Richards of the Fox Hollow Ranch in Madras said in a story in the Source last August. “The amount of water dictates the crops that can be grown, how much can be grown and whether a farmer can grow a crop on every acre they own. It influences every aspect of our farming operation.”

Storms that typically hit Oregon are veering north or south, leaving the state with lower stream levels, less water for agriculture and smaller snowpacks.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, only one in 12 basins in Oregon used to measure water content in snow is where it should be as of Feb. 1. The Hood, Sandy and Lower Deschutes Basins are only 49 percent of normal and the Upper Deschutes Basin is just 69 percent of normal.

Happenings at Bend Parks

Big Sky bike park expansion is back on, the Bend Senior Center is closing for the summer, changing fees and a bridge update On Jan. 31, the Bend Park and Recreation District got its final land use decision by the State of Oregon, and can now proceed with the bike park project at Big Sky Park, under the conditions approved by the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners Oct. 29. The bike project will include a pump track, single track trails, a dual slalom course, a bike trails area and a children’s skill area for up-and-coming riders. Because of the delays in land use permitting and design, Julie Brown, BPRD’s communications and community relations manager, said construction is estimated to start in the spring of 2020. Brian Hudspeth, BPRD’s development manager, said they could wrap up in the fall of 2020—though it’s difficult to work on the areas during the fall and the spring because of the heavy use of the existing sports fields at Big Sky. Hudspeth said most of the original design work will remain, but BPRD is working on some alternatives to make sure the bike park fits within its original budget. Other changes coming to Big Sky include expanded parking, which Brown said will help the new bike park and the existing sports fields, especially during large soccer tournaments. The bike park nearly died on the table when people in the surrounding neighborhoods opposed certain functions of the park. It went to a hearings officer, who approved the park Aug. 28, but with many conditions, including no events such as bike races.

BPRD appealed the hearings officer’s decisions and the Board of Commissions ultimately approved events with conditions, including longer setbacks from property lines, more buffers near property lines and limiting the number of events that can take place each year. Lighting was disallowed except for the parking areas and places lighting is needed for safety. According to the Board’s decision, no more than 25 medium-sized events (those with 50-300 spectators) are permitted per year between the bike park east, bike park west and the radio-controlled car track, and no more than eight large-sized events (more than 300 people) can happen per year between the three venues. Also, BPRD can’t schedule a large event at the same time as other large events like a soccer tournament.

Bend Senior Center moving for the summer

Meanwhile, the Bend Senior Center will close this summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day for initial work on the Larkspur Community Center project. BPRD said the 14-week closure will save about $250,000 in construction costs and allow for the most disruptive work to occur without impacting the people who use the center. BPRD said Bend-La Pine Schools offered the use of Marshall High School for the summer, which will allow the majority of the programs to continue. BPRD’s current Capital Improvement Plan allocates $21.4 million for the project—which will include a 5,000

Revising fees In 2012, BPRD’s board ratified the existing Fees and Charges Policy and an Out of District Use and Fees policy—and they haven’t updated them since. According to BPRD, the board is recommending increasing the income level for needsbased assistance for the highest level of need from 100 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines to 130 percent. BPRD said this is to be consistent with other state and federal assistance programs. Eligibility for needs-based assistance will be based on household income and family size. Households that earn at or below 185 percent, but above 130 percent, of the current Federal Poverty Income guidelines are eligible for assistance at reduced levels. The funding priorities are giving to these populations, in order: people with disabilities, including those on long-term disability; youth 18 years and younger; adults over 19 with qualifying health considerations; people over 65 and the general adult population. Priority will be given to issue-focused programs, core recreation and complementary recreation programs. Needsbased assistance won’t be offered for specialized programs, private services or rentals. BPRD said if funding isn’t enough to meet the demand for needsbased assistance, officials would consider suspending the funding to lower priority populations, complementary recreation programs, reduce the

percentage of fees covered by needsbased assistance and limit the amount of funding each household can receive. At a recent meeting, however, staff stated that the funding has been underutilized in the past—meaning fewer people than budgeted for had applied for and accessed needs-based funding.

Another effort toward a Deschutes River footbridge

The South Urban Growth Boundary Deschutes River Trail Connection, aka the Deschutes Footbridge, has been a contentious subject for Bendites for the last few years. Legislation was introduced to ban a bridge over the Deschutes during the last session. BPRD turned to Oregon Consensus, Oregon’s legislatively established program for public policy consensus building and conflict resolution, to find a way to build community trust. During the Dec. 18 Board of Directors meeting, Mary Orton— whose company focuses on mediation and facilitation—recommended BPRD began “mediated trust building conversations” with the public to build (metaphorical) bridges in the community. Orton also recommended implementing joint fact-findings with BPRD and the public, due to the large number of disagreements surrounding the facts about the bridge, the river and what can and can’t be built in the area. During its Jan. 15 meeting, the Board discussed moving forward with the process with the following changes: broadening the scope from the south UGB bridge to include the entire vision of trails; include working with other agencies to create trail connections to advance trails as part of the transportation system and removing the UGB bridge project from the five-year Capital Improvement Plan to show good faith that the District won’t pursue this project before there is a collaborative community process around it.

Central Oregon Picture Perfect Landscapes Photographer captures the magic of Central Oregon and beyond By Keely Damara Taking in the landscapes and wildlife that adorn the walls of Jeffrey Murray’s downtown Bend gallery, it’s hard not to be taken aback by the sheer beauty he’s captured in each frame. Entering the gallery means being met with a stoic bison, covered in snow, followed by shots from the Oregon coast and aerial photos of the Cascades. Murray, who studied photojournalism at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Jeffrey Murray captures the beauty of Central Oregon and beyond, Ariz., says he’s been deter- showcased at his gallery in downtown Bend. Keely Damara mined to make photography a viable career since junior high. “Photography has always been a job for me since the day I started — it’s always been a job,” says Murray. “For me, everything was on the way to making a living at this.” Malcolm Gladwell said it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert at something. Murray has far surpassed that benchmark, spending seven years on the road in an RV with his wife and dog before moving to Bend. He traveled coast to coast, capturing awe-inspiring photos, from the red rocks of Sedona to the skylines of Chicago and New York City. It may surprise some that the quiet moments he captures in nature are often set up before he even steps outside. “When I go out shooting, I never go out blind,” says Murray. “I always know exactly the picture I’m coming home with before I even leave my house.” Though nature photography is predominantly featured in his gallery, Murray also finds inspiration in the old and new architecture around Bend, and the graffiti emblazoned on the sides of train cars. There’s something special about seeing a piece of street art painted in New York City rolling through a small town in Oregon, he says. “It’s almost like a modern art gallery that goes through town and changes every day,” says Murray. As for what he enjoys most about the outdoors in Central Oregon, Murray responds without hesitation: skiing. “I first started skiing when I was 2. My parents met on a chair lift. I went to school in Flagstaff because it was Jeffrey Murray Fine Art Photography 118 NW Minnesota Ave., Bend the only photography school that had 541-325-6225 a ski resort next to it — so skiing has jeffreymurrayphotography.com always been a very high priority for me,” he says with a smile.

But for many people, spending a day immersed in nature offers something beyond a momentary thrill. For some, natural beauty is also a font of creativity.

Stunning Instruments, Made the Slow Way

Andrew Mowry is a local luthier, but rarely sells his creations to locals By Chris Miller

Chris Miller

Stepping inside the Mowry Stringed Instruments shop brought back memories of watching “This Old House” with my grandfather. The smells of wood, glue and the sight of the hand tools gave me a feeling of nostalgia. Andrew Mowry builds handmade mandolins, mandolas, guitar-bodied octave mandolins and guitars—plus other stringed instruments. He said he started hobby building as a teen, then got Andrew Mowry sits with a mandolin in his shop in Northserious about it 13 years ago. east Bend. Mowry said he’s self-taught and learned his craft originally by reading books. “With the internet, I’ve learned a ton,” Mowry said. He also gives props to the other guitar builders in town, including Breedlove Guitars and Bowerman Guitars. Mowry said he only builds 12 instruments per year. He works in batches four to six at a time, with a total build time of about four to six months each. On a recent trip to his shop, Mowry had four instruments hanging upside down, letting the finish cure. Many words could describe Mowry’s product, but I’ll choose just one: beautiful. If looking at big leaf maple polished to a mirror shine, and rings resembling ripples on a pond, makes your heart skip a beat, you may need to learn how to play if you don’t already. Mowry only makes archtop instruments, which vary from flat-top guitars because of the defined arch in the middle of the instrument. Mowry said he uses mostly maple for the backs of the guitars and spruce for the tops, but will incorporate some burl into small dedicated spaces on the instruments—for inlays, for example. Almost all of Mowry’s instruments are made to order and he sells most online. He builds a few for the annual Wintergrass festival, a bluegrass music event held in Bellevue, Wash., toward the end of February. “I’ve only sold one instrument to someone in Bend in the 13 years I’ve been here,” Mowry said. Mowry said his favorite build is the Octave Mandolin because not many people build them. To build his instruments, Mowry said he’s mostly purchased used equipment, except for the Computer Numerical Control router used for the intricate work on the headstocks. Mowry said his business doesn’t pull in a ton of money, but it allows him other benefits, like time with his children.

Teeny Tiny Works of Art

Nail artist’s award-winning creations inhabit the smallest of canvases By Chris Miller Nail art, to a person who doesn’t often visit salons, may seem like it only appeals to women on their wedding day. But increasingly, it’s a way for people to create and share art in yet another form. With that in mind, Bend nail artist Shannon McCown could be like the Rodin of the phalanges world. McCown has competed in and won awards in the Fantasy Nail art competitions held worldwide. During the 2018 International Salon + Spa Expo held in Long Beach, Calif., in January 2018, McCown’s “Wild Women” took home first place. McCown said she created the piece made with women who were considered wild throughout time—from Eve to Miley Cyrus, who McCown put on a wrecking ball. The same pieces took third place in the International Nailympia competition held in Houston in 2017. McCown said she’s been doing nails for 32 years, starting in cosmetology school at 16 and switching to nails to get done with school faster. Today she “I’ll probably be 90 does her work from Headlines Salon saying, ‘I can do on Newport Avenue in Bend, but she’s been self-employed since age 17— something with that before most people graduated from high school. McCown said she started toe!’” competing in 2002, and around 2012 or —SHANNON MCCOWN 2013, started taking it seriously. Four years ago, McCown moved to Bend from the Big Island of Hawaii. She stays mostly for her grandchildren, she says—but judging by the enthusiastic reaction to the repair job she did for a customer during our visit to her salon, she stays for her clients, as well. McCown could be considered a Jack-of-all-trades in the nail business. She does repairs, competitions, wedding art, manicures and other general nail work—and teaches other licensed professionals. When asked what she likes most about her job, McCown said it’s an even onethird split between the three main things. “I love competing,” McCown said. “Working with clients in my socializing and educating keeps me up on things—I take classes too.” McCown said different regions do different styles, from the U.S. to Europe to Japan. “You learn stuff from everybody,” she said. McCown said her favorite things about Central Oregon are the seasonal changes, and “the people are really awesome too.” When asked if she has any plans to hang up the cuticle glue, McCown laughed. “I can’t imagine my life not doing it,” McCown said. “I’ll probably be 90 saying, ‘I can do something with that toe!’”

Inside the action at one of Fancywork’s Knitalongs.

Getting the Yarn Ball Rolling A year of uplifting the fiber arts community By Isaac Biehl Making it through that first year of business is crucial. At least, it was a very important milestone for the owner and founder of Fancywork, Elise Jones. Jones and the crew at Bend’s store dedicated to all things yarn just celebrated the one-year mark Jan. 19. Jones said knitting isn’t just a part of her livelihood now; it’s also a lifelong passion. “I have been a knitter pretty much my whole life,” recalls Jones. “My mom taught me when I was about 8, I guess, but it didn’t really stick until maybe my college years.” While her first attempt at knitting a sweater didn’t really go according “If you’re not a knitter, to plan, Jones has been hooked ever you don’t realize how since. Having lived in Bend for 18 years (including a stint working in many knitters there are the Source’s graphic design depart- in the world. In a lot of ment), Jones has been seriously considering opening up her own yarn cases it’s a solitary craft.” store for at least a decade. Timing —ELISE JONES was always the main issue, but once that fell into place, Jones was able to take the leap. A year later and Fancywork is living up to that initial dream. “Absolutely the best moments of the year – and they keep happening, are when people come in the store and tell me how grateful they are that we’re here,” says Jones. “We have events where we try to get the knitting community together and when we can do that it’s just really great to see lots of people so excited about knitting and getting to know one another. The community aspect is my favorite part.” Fancywork’s group events include “help sessions,” in which fellow knitters can drop in and get some help with their current projects. They also have weekly “Knitalongs,” in which the group picks a project and they knit alongside an instructor. “If you’re not a knitter, you don’t realize how many knitters there are in the world,” states Jones. “In a lot of cases it’s kind of a solitary craft. So I really enjoy getting people out of their solitary knitting habits and into a social knitting circle.” Like many of the sweaters hanging in the shop, this home for fiber arts and creativity is colorful and warm. When you enter you’re even welcomed by yarn-covered door handles. With this atmosphere and desire to learn present, Fancywork is the perfect place for beginning knitters. “Any mistake you can make in knitting is actually a design element that somebody has come up with,” Jones advisKnit Night es knitters just starting out. “It kind of takes a little bit of the pressure off to Bring whatever you’re working on to the shop to sit & stitch with like-minded fiber fans know whatever you can do with your Thursdays, 4-7pm knitting, it was an intentional act by Fancywork Yarn Shop 200 NE Greenwood Ave., Bend some designer somewhere else.” fancywork.com

Building Up the Artistic Community

Bend’s first creative laureate aims to foster individual creativity, while also bringing people together By Nicole Vulcan

As Bend's first creative laureate, Jason Graham, aka MOsley WOtta, says much of the work involves doing "recon" into what the community wants and needs from a person in this role.

and the artistic community overlap, and how to move beyond the “polite facades.” He evoked the image of a person sleeping outside with a sleeping bag, just underneath some graffiti—both things that reflect the community; both examples of people pushing against an established system. “Folks want to unify the artistic community and bring people together,”

We asked readers: Will: The fact that its local economy has grown to offer more jobs to college educated people. I grew up coming out here as a kid; I wanted to find a career and still enjoy all the things the place had to offer.

Lauren Backes: Even though Bend is changing and growing it still feels like a community, it feels like home.

Tim Collette: The many of things to do. You can be up in the mountain or on the lake, in the high desert or riding a bike. There is something for everybody and every age group.

he says, but the goal is, “also figuring out ways to talk about things that are uncomfortable.” Of the process, he says, “The idea is to sort of catch this potentially elusive, nebulous pulse—what we can see and describe with accuracy, and also what we can’t see and describe with accuracy.” While the role is evolving, Graham says the feedback he’s heard thus far is

that some want more spaces to be creative in a public way. He’s also working on galvanizing youth programs, art outreach in schools and fostering the creation of residencies in various artistic disciplines. He’s also establishing a spoken word competition involving youth and adults—like a slam competition, but with fewer restrictions, so that people with any type of written work— whether amplified or spoken—can compete for cash prizes. And yet, while he’s working on events that establish unity within the creative community, Graham says he also recognizes there’s something valuable in having a less top-down, hierarchical model of community creativity—a focus less on judging the efforts of others and their successes or failures, and more on one’s individual creativity. “If you get too caught up on what someone else is doing, you just forgot who it is you are,” Graham reflects. He and the people behind the creation of the creative laureate position will continue to take input from people through a forthcoming Facebook page and website, as well as through Graham’s own social media channels. As he puts it, “we continue to make a real wide channel for folks to start dumping in ideas.”

What do you love about Central Oregon? Suzy Reininger: I love the people, the commitment to supporting non-profits, and I love the weather.

Dillan: I love the dogs, I think everyone has a dog and I also love that it feels like close community.

Alyssa Walters: I love the culture; everyone is so nice. The town just has so much to offer.

Tim Ritter: It’s an outdoors paradise and there is never an off season.

Anne-Marie Daggett: I love the fact that it’s in the middle of Oregon, Oregon is such a diverse state we get the best of everything in it. It’s a great place to raise kids.

Ripley Etherington: Because it’s pretty.

ou might already know Jason Graham as a poet, hip-hop artist, educator and speaker who goes by the moniker MOsely WOtta—but this well-known Bendite has another role these days: that of Bend’s first creative laureate. The role is the brainchild of the Arts and Culture Alliance and ScaleHouse— two of Central Oregon’s most prolific arts organizations—who gained the support of the Bend City Council last year in the creation of the role. In April, the City Council proclaimed the creative laureate as the “official ambassador for the broader creative community in Bend.” In September, the organizations announced that Graham would be the first creative to serve in the two-year position. The program was inspired by a similar program in the City of Portland, established in 2012—the first of its kind in the state and nation. Bend follows as the second city in the U.S. to establish a creative laureate. Graham says thus far he’s been in “recon” mode, collecting stories, anecdotes and ideas from local people about the role and how to best serve the artistic community. Like art itself, that process hasn’t necessarily followed a linear path, but Graham says he’s been exploring where the world of civic engagement

Life’s A Trip

How to accidentally find yourself in the music industry By Isaac Biehl 15 Submitted photo

Source Weekly: What would you describe as your sound and influences? Robbie Pfeffer: We’re all kind of music nerds. I really personally like unique voices or, like, ugly voices. So I’m like a big Tom Waits fan and that sort of thing. I just liked non-traditional songwriting. That’s what I find most interesting. We mess around with a lot of stuff. SW: You have a pretty unique voice. When did you start figuring out that

crazy. Just kind of one thing leads to another if you’re willing to put yourself out there. SW: Are you guys working on a new album this year? RP: Totally. We went up to a cabin and wrote a bunch of demos for songs. That was kind of a fun, weird, out-of-our-element type of thing. We’re going to kind of flesh them out on the road because we have a couple days off. They’re skeletons now. We just kind of have to throw in some organs and patch them up with skin along the way. We literally left the cabin once to get breakfast. We’ve got like 13 songs from those three days. We were just working ‘til we were too drunk or tired to continue, and then we’d just pass out and do it again. It really had a continuity that was nice.

Playboy Manbaby opens up for Okilly Dokilly on Feb. 14.

you could sing and do this crazy stuff with it? RP: I never really intended to be in a band. I do a lot of visual art and that was always my sh*t, ever since I was a

like, “That sounds awful!” But we had so much dead time that I just started writing stuff, like slam poetry. So that kind of led to me being in a band. I accidentally just stumbled into it.

SW: What can people expect from one of your live shows? RP: Definitely energy. But I like to mess with expectations. I like the theatrics of the whole thing. I want it to be a party. It’s definitely not a somber, sit-onyour-feelings kind of thing – it’s more of, let’s enjoy ourselves cause we’ll all be dead soon.

“Let’s enjoy ourselves cause we’ll all be dead soon.” —ROBBIE PFEFFER kid. I found an art scene when I was like 18 and we started an open mic. It was so poorly attended that the host was like, “You should just do poetry!” And I was

ome might say Playboy Manbaby is a silly name for a band, or for anything, really. But maybe that’s the point? That’s something Robbie Pfeffer, lead singer of Playboy Manbaby, makes note of about himself and the Phoenix music scene. It’s more of a happy-to-behere type of situation. You’ll notice that in the theatrical punk rocker’s music as well. It seems they never take themselves too seriously – but they bring an undeniable energy to each song that can’t be overlooked. Over the phone, Pfeffer tells me how his love for visual arts led him into music (he still makes all the band’s cover art) and how they wrote a bunch of demos in a town north of Phoenix that Pfeffer says blew away the band with its “lack of beauty.” Here’s more of what Pfeffer had to say about his band, headed to Bend for a Valentine’s Day show with metalheads Okilly Dokilly, who might get you moshing with your loved one instead of holding hands.

A Blooming Sound On the pulse of Credit Electric’s creativity

Laura Kiernan

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 7, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Isaac Biehl

Credit Electric has a single release planned for Feb. 22.

yan LoPilato’s first musical project was under the name of Haunted Houses, started around 2009, when he was in high school. LoPilato says he would create and record through a process called “surrealist automatism,” which is defined as: “a method of art-making in which the artist suppresses conscious control over the making process, allowing the unconscious mind to have great sway.” In laymen’s terms, that means a lot of improvisation and being in the moment. “It was something that was just pour-

ing out of me all the time. Through a lot of – I guess I could say emotional instability or through adolescent angst, or whatever it might be,” LoPilato recalls. “Through that I had all this material, just all these ideas flowing through. As I grew older into who am I now, I wanted to really refine the elements of that realness and rawness that was created in these momentary bursts of music.” While in search of this artistic growth, LoPilato was able to find a group of guys in the Bay Area, following his move there from New Jersey. That’s when Credit Electric formed. The lineup consists of Cameron Iturri-Carpenter on lead guitar, Evan Hiller on pedal

steel, Nathan Smith on bass guitar and Steve Boyd on drums. LoPilato offers vocals and guitar. The current group has been together for just over a year. “We’re a self-described rocking chair band,” jokes LoPilato. “But what we’re going for? I’m not really sure. I think it’s more so just trying to bring something that’s really true to our hearts and honest to the table.” Credit Electric’s music is something you can get lost in. LoPilato mentioned that it’s for the whole spectrum of moods that people feel every day—a pretty spot-on assessment. You can find something for the down days and even something for those minutes spent daydreaming about the one you love. The ambient qualities of Credit Electric’s sound are what allow you to really sink in and feel the moment around you as the songs pass by. “It’s very therapeutic for me. I have to do it. There’s really no other option,” LoPilato says of his always flowing creativity. “It’s just really cool to have the support of these four other guys in the band that are killer musicians, that just enable that to blossom and become something greater.”

Dear Supporters, For Discover Your Forest, 2018 was a year of celebrations and rapid growth on the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests and Crooked River National Grassland. 2018 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and the National Trails System. We were excited to partner with over 11 partners to make Central Oregon the number one place to celebrate these important milestones. We hope you got to attend an event or even sample a Wild and Scenic beer this year. Record numbers kids and adults have been impacted by Discover Your Forest programs this year. We could not make this happen without the support of our partners. Program and funding support from the US Forest Service, the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Forest of Central Oregon and Mt. Bachelor allows us to pursue our mission of creating the next generation of environmental stewards. We are proud to have expanded our programs to serve visitors of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.

This year, our Volunteers on the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests donated a record setting number of hours to conserving our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most special places. Whether they worked as interpretive rangers, on trail crews or as volunteer archaeologists, our volunteers and their passion for our forests made a tremendous impact. We are so thankful for the support of these amazing individuals! We were truly inspired by the generosity of the Central Oregon community this year. Funds raised support conservation education, volunteer programs and our efforts to create great visitor experiences while making sure our beloved landscapes remain sustainable for future generations. For those who donated: Thank You. You make our work possible and your commitment to our Forests inspires us each day. We look back on 2018 as another year of tremendous growth. As we look ahead, we hope to deepen the connections between our communities and their public lands. With your support, we believe that our National Forests can become places for learning, discovery and connection for all. With Gratitude,

Volunteers in Action Volunteers in 2018 made a tremendous impact on their Public Lands. Discover Your Forest was honored to work with individuals and groups across the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests. In the past year, volunteers on the forest have maintained hundreds of miles of trail wielding pulaskis, shovels and crosscut saws to make sure that your trail experience is the best it can be. Volunteers have also worked to educate tens of thousands of visitors about good stewardship and protecting our natural resources. These interpretive rangers are truly on the front lines of our forests and their impact cannot be understated. So many other volunteers made a difference by removing trash from our forests, protecting archaeological sites, conducting annual wildlife surveys, removing invasive plants, caring for our rivers, protecting our wilderness areas, supporting geology projects and manning fire lookouts. We were proud in 2018 to award a record 132 Presidential Service awards to volunteers whose donated time qualified them for this national honor. We are so grateful to the thousands on men and women who give their time, knowledge and spirit to protecting and maintaining our most treasured landscapes.

Hands on field days with Wildland Firefighters allow the students to understand the science behind what they are learning in the classroom. Students study the geography of the land, weather, what we value in our community, and how they can play a role as we all learn more about the impacts of fire on our communities and forest. In 2018, Discover Your Forest reached over 250 students in South Deschutes County with school visits, field trips and events.

Artist Profile Jeanette Small

It could be safe to say that Jeanette Small is an artist of the world. Born in Moldova, Small and her family fled the country as asylum seekers after the collapse of the Soviet Union. By the time she was 18, she had lived in three different countries with three very different political and social systems. This unique experience is often captured in her work, exploring the various dimensions of the human experience in abstract visuals. When she was 17, Small moved to San Francisco, Calif., to be closer to her father. It was then that she enrolled in the public arts high school, Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of The Arts, and her love for art began to flourish. While she would continuously study

art while in school, she would eventually go on to earn a degree in psychology, citing the need to make a conservative

choice in order to feel stable financially. Art would never leave her, and when she and her family landed in Bend in 2013, it started to take a bigger role in her life. It was then that Small found the Bend Art Center and a new medium to explore: printmaking. Small had primarily focused on painting in the past, and this new process allowed her to expand her breadth of work. “I learned even more techniques that have opened doors and opened my eyes to things I didn’t know I could do that way,” she says. Small’s work is often rich with story and emotion. She works in series, often focusing on an idea that intrigues her and that she can explore deeper. In her past “Hive” series she explored the hive nature of humanity and how we like to think of ourselves as individuals and yet act more like a hive than we are willing

to admit. The soft and romantic images contained layers of color and renderings of woman, bees, hives and cathedrals. In a new series, she’s exploring the atmosphere by working with symmetry in unexpected ways. Small calls herself an over-thinker. But rather, I would suggest that she is a connecter in the way artists can be: bringing together multiple ideas to find a crossover, a connection between us all in beautiful, nourishing and profound ways, showing us new perspectives from a variety of angles.

or fans of a cappella sounds, it doesn’t get much better than this. Thursday marks the start of the festivities, as Naturally 7 opens Bend’s fourth annual, three-day A Cappella Festival at the Tower Theatre. Naturally 7, an internationally-renowned vocal ensemble, is known for the way the singers use only their own voices to mimic specific musical instruments including horns, percussion and strings. The group’s rendition of Phil Collins’ “Feel It (In the Air Tonight)” has received over five million hits on YouTube. While some tickets were still available for Friday’s “Raise Me Up” event – featuring a joint performance by YouTube phenom Peter Hollens, together with all 14 festival ensemble contestants – all other individual events and full festival passes were sold out at press time. (Find current ticket availability on the festival website.) On Friday, “An A Cappella Evening” at the Tower will feature performances by local vocals Bend Camerata and University of Oregon’s Mind the Gap (a three-time festival Sing-Off winner), followed by the collaborative performance of Peter Hollens’ ensemble, doing Josh Groban’s “You Raise Me Up.” That event will be videotaped and later unveiled on Hollens’ YouTube channel, which boasts over two million subscribers. “The whole world can see the Bend audience singing with him,” says festival director Carol Rossio. On Saturday, genre master, producer and teacher Deke Sharon will host the festival finale, “Sing-Off!” in which the 14 participating groups will perform at Summit High School. Sharon founded

River Warrior Fighting to keep our waterways flowing By Richard Sitts

—TOD HEISLER

od Heisler might as well have river water running through his veins. He was recently hired as the director of the Rivers Conservation Program within Central Oregon LandWatch, and before that he led the Deschutes River Conservancy for 15 years. His 30 years of conservation experience began with the World Wildlife Fund in Washington, D.C., followed by 10 years with Conservation International. At LandWatch, Heisler’s mission is to do what he can to help the Deschutes River restore its stream flows. He also wants to lay out the river’s weaknesses and address how best to help repair and reverse those problems. How does one explain the contrast, he asks, between the bubbly trickle of the Deschutes that slithers past the Riverhouse Hotel and Convention Center, and the wide river that vamps through the Old Mill area, barely a mile away. “It’s really foreign to everybody,” Heisler says. “It’s hard to know how the river even works.” Ultimately, it’s the irrigation diversions that control the river’s flow, but Heisler quickly makes it clear that no one is out to take away anyone’s water rights to that river water. It just needs to be better managed to lessen the river’s extreme high and low levels, Heisler says. By decreasing summer flows and increasing winter flows, the river can manage its own health, he adds. “The river will repair itself if you give it a chance. Ultimately, you want a river that maintains itself.” Rather than the exposed irrigation canals that course through our

landscape, Heisler says that LandWatch has been a proponent of piping irrigation water since up to 50 percent of the water that flows through open canals can be lost through seepage into the porous volcanic rock that bedrocks much of Central Oregon. A major goal is to restore the upper river from Wickiup Reservoir on down to Bend, Heisler says. By jumping from the Deschutes River Conservancy to LandWatch, he says he has “the same job but from a different seat at the table.” With the former group, Heisler says he had to balance the desires of seven distinct interests on the board, but now he singularly represents the river’s best interests. “I can speak a little more freely on what the river needs and can now represent the river’s perspective. It is now easier for me to advocate for the river, but it’s no easier to achieve the results.” In the new year there are planning and regulatory processes going on at the state level, decisions by the State of Oregon to protect the river below Wickiup, Heisler says. “It’s been a challenge how to protect the water out there. I’m in a better place here to advocate clearly from the river’s perspective, and

that’s what I intend to do.” Longer term threats to the river have been brought on by climate change and drought, he says. “The biggest impact that science is telling us that climate change is going to have is not necessarily less water, but the timing of water -- more rain and less snow.” Less snowpack means less water for the river. And as Heisler points out, when summer rolls around, everyone wants the water at the same time, from the Central Oregon resident watering the lawn, to the farmer irrigating crops, to the kayaker bobbing in the white water park. About 100 years ago, Heisler says, the state gave away all the water in the Deschutes in the form of water rights. “We over-appropriated the water. We’re still living with a 100-year-old problem. The challenge is to focus on what we really need the water for and sharing the water that was given away 100 years ago. “It’s complicated. People who have lived here all their life don’t fully understand how the river suffers, and it’s hard to get that message across. It’s not very understandable to most people.” Heisler says the river’s health is a lot harder for people to comprehend compared to land-use issues, which

can be more easily seen. Heisler is married with two kids, one in college and one in high school. Since moving to Bend about 15 years ago, he says working on local conservation issues has been more rewarding than working on an international scale. Observing improvements in the river first hand has been rewarding, he says. “It’s very gratifying to work in an area where the results are so tangible. I just have a great passion for the rivers in our high desert. They are very precious and I get a huge amount of joy out of helping restore them.” Heisler is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, where he says he grew up on a river and learned to appreciate the water. He was an economics major at Colby College in Waterville, Maine, and came to work in conservation through the business side. He lived and worked for a time in Denver, Colo., before spending about 20 years in Washington, D.C. “It’s very gratifying to go from international to local because you get to see the real results.” These days, Heisler enjoys cross-country skiing and in the summer, mountain biking and hiking. He also does a little fishing, and like many other folks, savors paddling on the Deschutes.

The Chef Ingredient You Aren’t Using

By Lisa Sipe

Imagine garlic without stinky side effects

37 Lisa Sipe

Pasties for the People

Salted butter and black garlic combine to make a tempting spread for fresh bread or added to roasted, baked or mashed potatoes.

lways on the hunt for new things to try in the kitchen, I wondered recently about any new spice trends out there, and asked Matthew Perry at Savory Spice Shop. Without hesitation he opened a jar of black garlic, removing the papery peel from a clove, saying, “try this.” I hesitated at eating a whole clove for risk of offensive breath the remainder of the day, but when someone I trust is excited about food, I follow their lead. The clove was tender and had the jelly-like texture of Turkish delight. It was a little umami bomb; sweet, sour and savory with hints of tamarind and garlic. There were none of the offensive characteristics of raw garlic; it didn’t have a bite, it wasn’t stinky and didn’t linger on my breath. For centuries, people in South Korea, Japan and Thailand have used black garlic, made by fermenting whole cloves of garlic for weeks in heat. Over time the color of the garlic slowly turns from ivory to black and the texture changes. In my kitchen I experimented with a few simple recipes. By combining black garlic with salted butter, I whipped up a compound butter in less than five minutes. I slathered it on fresh baked ciabatta and relished the citrus and fig notes. At your next dinner party start the meal with warm bread and black garlic compound butter and your guests will think they’re dining at a fancy steakhouse. Better yet, serve a seared steak with a pat of the butter on top. Important note: You can’t substitute black garlic for fresh garlic in recipes.

They taste different and you can use a much greater quantity of black garlic because the flavor is more delicate. If you want more garlic flavor with your black garlic, add a little fresh garlic to your recipe.

"There were none of the offensive characteristics of raw garlic; it didn’t have a bite, it wasn’t stinky and didn’t linger on my breath." —LISA SIPE Black garlic has been trending upward for the last few years, according to Google Trends. Yet even with that rise in popularity in the West, it still isn’t a mainstream ingredient. Are chefs keeping this as a secret ingredient for themselves? Maybe, but they’ve been using it for a while. In 2008, black garlic was used on an episode of Iron Chef America, and Top Chef, in fish dishes. Since trying that first black clove I’ve been obsessed. It’s such a versatile ingredient. I’ve added it to a vinaigrette, a vegetable omelet and in place of raw garlic in a sun-dried tomato pesto with delicious results. I have yet to make black garlic chocolate chip cookies, but my curiosity is pulling me toward the unlikely combination. Black garlic is a bit sweet,

in the way balsamic vinegar is, so I can see how it would work in cookies, cakes or truffles. Buy black garlic as whole bulbs or in powder form. In addition to Savory Spice Shop, I’ve occasionally found it at Grocery Outlet. If you own a temperature-controlled fermentation box, you can make black garlic at home.

Black Garlic Compound Butter 1 stick salted butter, softened 2 single head black garlic bulbs (4-6 cloves) Combine butter and black garlic in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Scoop into a small bowl and serve. If the butter gets too soft, refrigerate until firm.

Black Garlic Vinaigrette 2 single head black garlic bulbs (4-6 cloves) 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil ¼ cup red wine vinegar 1 tbsp dijon mustard 1 small shallot 1 tsp agave (or a ¼ tsp sugar) ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper Combine all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste. Add more salt and pepper if needed.

If you want a meal you can eat with one hand, visit The Peoples’ Pies for a pastie: a savory hand pie with roots in Cornwall, England. “I was inspired to start The Peoples’ Pies because I had been making these pasties for a couple years,” said owner Jessica Weiland, “always taking them on hiking trips or geology field trip picnics. I’m from Wisconsin and these are everywhere in the northern Midwest. When we came to Bend several years back, I thought that the idea of the traditional pasty with high desert flavors and ingredients might be well received here.” The menu includes four kinds of pasties: traditional, Cubano, vindaloo and shroomer—a vegetarian option, each served with a salad.

CRAFT Big Rig Bitter An oldie but goodie at Deschutes Brewery

By Heidi Howard

Blending Nature with Medicine Insurance Accepted

Big Rig Bitter at Bend’s Deschutes Downtown Pub.

itter beers are a style from the old world—the mid-19th century, to be exact. The bitter ale came to be an alternative to porters and stouts across the pond. It’s not actually bitter unless you compare it to porters and stouts (as a rule of thumb). In Central Oregon, Deschutes Brewery has been brewing bitter ales since opening in 1988. In fact, Bachelor Bitter, Black Butte Porter and Cascade Golden Ale where the first

Drinking this beer is an experience. Take your time. Drink it slowly so you can see how it changes as it warms. beers at the downtown pub. A month later the brewery added Mirror Pond Pale Ale to the lineup. Big Rig Bitter isn’t anything new, either. It’s been around quite a long time but is deserving of a little more time in the spotlight. Big Rig Bitter is what Deschutes calls a classic pub ale. Its name was inspired by the big truck driven by one of the original brewers. It’s heaven for those who are lovers of maltiness. If you only drink IPAs, get a taster first to see if you like it. This beer is extremely malt forward. I had it on tap at the pub, and it was served very cold. I would recommend you let the beer sit for 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to warm. Some styles of beer taste better when they’re

allowed to warm (especially stouts and porters), as they become more aromatic and flavorful. When my glass of beer first hit the table, there was very little aroma. It tasted pretty good. I sipped on it, then set it aside when my French onion soup came to the table. P.S., the French onion soup at Deschutes’ downtown Bend pub is money and pairs great with Big Rig Bitter! I ate a bit of my soup and did a little research on Deschutes and the beer, then went back to my glass. I brought the glass up to take a drink and hey, I could smell some aromas now! Yay! On the nose, Big Rig Bitter is sweet and malty with a very light underlying hop aroma that lends a hint of earthiness. On the palate, the beer starts sweet from the maltiness, and as it rolls along the sides of the tongue, it tingles and has a touch of pepper from the carbonation and crystal hops. That’s about all the hops you will taste in this bitter—perfect for this style of beer. The hops lend brightness and balance to the beer, cutting through the sweetness. This beer is all about the malts, though. They’re the star of the show. Many times, a malty beer will be way too sweet. With this beer, the hops balance that sweetness out to perfection. I really love the carbonation in this beer, adding a brightness and lightening the beer significantly. Drinking this beer is an experience. Take your time. Drink it slowly so you can see how it changes as it warms. On the drinkability scale, this beer gets a 5. It’s pleasant for beginners and experts alike.

Every shot is framed like a painting that will live in your mind for a long time to come.

Who is this movie for? Liberals who already hate him or conservatives who also hate him? Hard pass.

PROMOTE YOUR CENTRAL OREGON EVENT FOR

41 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 06 / FEBRUARY 7, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

ell hath no fury... Scorned women abound in a darkly comic period piece about Anne, Queen of Great Britain (with Olivia Colman, a shoo-in for the Oscar win) and her closest confidante, Sarah, the Duchess of Marlborough (a chilling Rachel Weisz). But really, “The Favourite” is about best friends Anne and Sarah, and the woman who comes between them. Shot throughout with grandly isolating wide lenses and lush visual detail, the film paints a portrait of two extraordinarily powerful women not only attempting to navigate their way through a world set up to revel in the success of men, but also sharing a friendship that is both vulnerably intimate and politically precarious. Sarah rubs the queen’s legs and opens her mail. She sets the schedule and decides who gets an audience with the queen. Anne is so unfathomably lonely and isolated that her connection to Sarah is one of desperation and vulnerability. Anne would let Sarah set foreign policy just as long as she keeps her company for a while longer. Enter Abigail (a never-better Emma Stone), a fresh-faced, fallen former aristocrat whose innocence and unassuming sincerity make her an instantly likable underdog. Assigned as a servant to Sarah, she uses her innate combination of tender concern and sharp insights to ingratiate herself with the ailing queen. Soon Sarah and Abigail are politely warring over who gets to rub river mud into Queen Anne’s gouty open sores while the country under her rule devours itself with endless war and political upheaval. The Favourite is certainly rich historical drama, but its focus on Queen

By Jared Rasic

The only word to describe furnishings like that is “lush,” right?

Anne rests on her womanhood, not her queendom. The efficacy of her political power expands and crumbles at the whims of her appetites, and all the other characters know this far better than she does. When the future of the civilized world very much depends on treating Anne’s horniness, loneliness, illness and depression with a sort of gentle control, a precariousness exists in every word spoken. The scope is at once as big as the nation and as small as the bedroom. This whole struggle takes place in a setting of decadent grandeur that doesn’t so much border on the absurd as squat and rub its junk on it. Every wall is tapestried, every ceiling is carved, every

person is wigged and powdered and jeweled and chinless and rich and bored. In her robes and crown, Queen Anne belongs in this environment of delusional aristocrats. With her nightgown, bedhead and crazy eyes, she is achingly human and small in a palace and a position that dwarfs her. All she needs is a friend. Who is it going to be? This film is a love story, but not one packaged for mass appeal. It’s a sexual romp and a political drama and a character study, but it isn’t interested in meeting audience expectations. It would rather draw you into a world where racing ducks is sophisticated entertainment, raw liver is used as a cure for gout

and the aristocracy would topple kingdoms just for a nicer place to sleep and a better view out the portcullis. All Queen Anne wants is to be seen and loved for who she is, and her tragic need for that is real and relatable, despite the alien absurdity of the setting. What is love, really? “The Favourite” poses the question, but will give you nothing resembling easy answers.

A Reason to Love Oregon: The Sunstone Gem of the Oregon Outback, and the official Oregon state gem By Jim Anderson

Top: A magnificent piece of sunstone with copper shiller that came out of a mine near Plush in Lake County; Bottom left: Elyse Douglas of The Sunstone Store holds a beautiful piece of sunstone with copper shiller. Bottom right: The author gets a close-up look at sunstone embedded in a broken-off piece of lava from one of the quarries. (Submitted photos.)

Condon then went on to Chapter 1, “The Stone Quarry,” with a short paragraph in which he introduces Oregon’s geological history: “The ancient traveler and historian, Herodotus, long ago put on record the statement that he heard from Egyptian priests that in a range of hills along the eastern bor-

ichthyosaurs. In the foothills of the Cascades east of Salem there are bands of mud containing extinct clams. The “two islands” Condon mentions are the Blue Mountains in northeast Oregon, and the Siskiyou Mountains, a coastal sub-range of the Klamath Mountains, located in northwestern Cal-

Jewelry made with sunstone containing the process of shiller is beautiful and expensive because of its rarity. der of the country the rocks contained buried sea shells. The priests contended that these shells were in such positions and numbers as to indicate that in come countries the sea and the land had changed places.” And so it is in Oregon. Near Kimberly are quarries containing the fossilized remains of marine ammonites and fossil pieces of the ancient marine

ifornia and southwestern Oregon. The Pacific Ocean filled the space in between, which explains the marine deposits in seemingly odd places. It was in the period of Oregon’s Cascade Uplift—forming the more recent landforms we see around us today— that the Oregon Sunstone began to come into existence. As the lava flows cooled, feldspar crystals formed in

cavities and, eventually, when the waters receded and the encompassing rock became subject to weathering, the feldspar concentrations, or sunstones, were exposed. Driving to Lakeview from Bend takes you past remarkable volcanic features; Lava Butte and flow-after-flow of basalt, then the volcanoes that left behind magnificent lava caves — tubes actually — spawned by the largest volcano in Oregon, Newberry Caldera, with its gorgeous lakes and obsidian flows. You’ll also find yourself traveling past the showpiece of that area, Fort Rock. Going east from Lakeview brings into view the snow-covered rims of Hart Mountain, part of which is a Pronghorn Antelope Refuge. This is Sunstone country, the part of southeastern Oregon that boasts unpopulated vistas, wide open spaces and geological wonders such as thunder eggs. Feldspar is abundant in this landscape, and when the rock containing it cools, it begins to absorb the elements around it. If one of those elements is copper, a process known as shilling will usually take place, leaving streaks of the copper embedded in the sunstone, giving it an allure that gemstone people can’t resist. Jewelry made with sunstone containing the process of shiller is beautiful and expensive because of its rarity. Oregon Sunstone is the only variety known that possesses shiller, which makes jewelry made from it highly sought after. Sunstones range in color from a pale champagne to a deep red with greens and amber in between, all determined by the amount of copper in the mix. No two are exactly alike. If you want to try to find some of these state gems yourself, there are public sunstone collecting areas in the Plush countryside. You can call the Bureau of Land Management office in Lakeview for traveling directions and more information. There are private mine sites all around the BLM site, and trespassing on private mining sites or quarries can lead to a lot of trouble. Another element of sunstone collecting is the remoteness of the area, with limited cell phone coverage. The town of Plush has some help and fuel for your rig and a store to buy food and drinks with outside tables, water, and toilets at Egan Park—but it would be wise for you to have enough supplies and water for the time you expect to be collecting. In the meantime, the Sunstone Store in Bend offers us a chance to marvel at these small sparkling wonders unique to our Oregon Outback.

he Oregon Sunstone has an appropriate name, reflecting, as well as absorbing, the light from the sun in all its hues and beauty. For just that reason, it’s the official state gem of Oregon. But you can’t just go out in your back 40 and pick one up—unless you live in the eastern part of Lake County, near the town of Plush. But right in downtown Bend is The Sunstone Store. Elyse and Steve Douglas run the outfit, and with their sons, mine sunstones out in the sagebrush and bunchgrass wilds. If Elyse is not too busy creating sunstone jewelry she, or any one of the Douglases, will share the story of how sunstones came to be and how these beautiful gems fit into Oregon geology. Oregon has gemstones coming out of her lava-laden bones, but it’s taken a long time for those treasures to appear here. The father of Oregon geological studies, Thomas Condon, published a remarkable book in 1902, “The Two Islands and What Became of Them,” which provides the complicated history of our beautiful state. Condon describes the history of Oregon in such a way you can’t help but thank him for sharing his fascinating love of the Earth and admire his downhome intelligence. In the early 1900s he started and taught in the Department of Geology at the University of Oregon back when no one dreamed there would be gemstones lying on the surface in southeast Oregon. In his book, Condon begins with a story that sets the stage for understanding Oregon’s geological history. His introduction starts with: “The want which these pages attempt to supply is a popular rather than a scientific one. “For years our General Government has been publishing through railroad surveys and the annual reports of the United States Geological Surveys a large mass and wide range of geological information on the structure and history of our Western coast. “But this large body of information is so scattered that few have the time to collect enough of it to form a continuous unity of its history. Besides, there are many things in the geology of Oregon of lively interest to the young and uninstructed, and running through them are all the threads of a continuous unity that seems capable of a possible narrative form such as might increase the interest of the young. “An attempt to meet this double want, not with a fresh contribution to science, but with an attempt at picture-making for the uninstructed, has led to the writing of this story of ‘The Two Islands.’

again. The lack of inventory is a direct result of the economic disaster our country faced not so long ago. It takes time to catch up with providing inventory. So does it make sense to put a rent rate cap on those who own buildings more than 15 years old, when those properties tend to encounter more maintenance costs? Rent control ultimately limits owners’ abilities to maintain and improve properties, thereby creating diminished quality of rental inventory and causing neighborhoods to deteriorate. The second caveat of SB 608 involves no-cause evictions. Because rent control is such a hot button issue, it makes perfect political sense to slide in no-cause eviction legislation along with it. A no-cause eviction is defined simply as a landlord’s termination of tenancy when lease violations have not occurred. SB 608 proposes that only under specific circumstances can a landlord terminate tenancy, such as wanting to move into the home themselves, needing to make extensive repairs or choosing to sell the property. In all of these cases, the landlord would be required to give 90 days’ notice, provide evidence of the intent to perform the aforementioned examples and pay the tenant equal to one month’s rent. What this essentially would do is take away the property owners’ abilities to do what they want with property they own. While SB 608 is well-intentioned, it’s my opinion that the consequences of this bill will hurt the very people it’s trying to help. Rents in Oregon are high because there is a supply shortage, and this bill will make the shortage far worse. We have already begun to see investors pull out of the state with the threat of rent control and eliminating termination of tenancies, thereby reducing rental housing inventory and accelerating neighborhood deterioration.

rent control bill, SB 608, is currently being considered by the Oregon Legislature, after being approved by the Senate Housing committee Feb. 4. It’s aimed at making Oregon the first state to legislate statewide rent control. A recent effort in California failed when voters voted the issue down. Should it pass, SB 608 would put an annual rent increase cap at 7 percent plus inflation, and allows for one rent increase per year. This will only apply to dwellings 15 years old or older—an attempt to not deter potential multifamily developers from building more projects. The thinking its, why would one develop multifamily projects with rent caps when they’re already incurring the incredible expense of System Development charges, infrastructure development and building costs? I scratch my head at why, when the ultimate problem is inventory, legislators would create a bill that ultimately puts the burden on owners of property built prior to 2004. Property taxes increase annually, along with the overall cost of maintenance. The fact of the matter is, we have seen a huge increase in demand, which in turn has led to a tight market and higher rents. I agree 100 percent that there’s a shortage of rentals. I also agree that we have seen significant rent rate increases over the last several years. Not all of the stories that we have read or heard are fair. Yet, in my experience, those stories are not representative of the majority. Only a short decade ago, Central Oregon, the real estate market and the economy as a whole were in the tank. Having worked in the property management world, I can say that it’s incredibly difficult to talk with an investment property owner struggling to hold onto their properties, pay property taxes and keep up with maintenance, all while taking huge losses to maintain the property. Rental rates have finally begun to make sense for an investment owner to own property again, and for developers to build rental properties

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A study by the Fidelity financial services company revealed that in 43% of all couples, neither partner has an accurate knowledge of how much money the other partner earns. Meanwhile, research by the National Institute of Health concludes that among heterosexual couples, 36 percent of husbands misperceive how frequently their wives have orgasms. I bring this to your attention in order to sharpen your focus on how crucial it is to communicate clearly with your closest allies. I mean, it’s rarely a good idea to be ignorant about what’s going on with those close to you, but it’ll be an especially bad idea during the next six weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Twitter wit Notorious Debi Hope advises us, “Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assho--s.” That’s wise counsel for you to keep in mind during the next three weeks. Let me add a few corollaries. First, stave off any temptation you might have to believe that others know what’s good for you better than you do. Second, figure out what everyone thinks of you and aggressively liberate yourself from their opinions. Third, if anyone even hints at not giving you the respect you deserve, banish them for at least three weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Torre Mayor is one of

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Climbing mountains has been a popular adventure since the nineteenth century, but there are still many peaks around the world that no one has ever ascended. They include the 24,591-fothigh Muchu Chhish in Pakistan, 23,691-foot Karjiang South in Tibet, and 12,600-foot Sauyr Zhotasy on the border of China and Kazakhstan. If there are any Aries mountaineers reading this horoscope who have been dreaming about conquering an unclimbed peak, 2019 will be a great time to do it, and now would be a perfect moment to plan or launch your quest. As for the rest of you Aries, what’s your personal equivalent of reaching the top of an unclimbed peak?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Eminem’s song “Lose Yourself” was a featured track in the movie 8 Mile, and it won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2003. The creator himself was not present at the Oscar ceremony to accept his award, however. He was so convinced his song would lose that he stayed home. At the moment that presenter Barbra Streisand announced Eminem’s triumph, he was asleep in front of the TV with his daughter, who was watching cartoons. In contrast to him, I hope you will be fully available and on the scene for the recognition or acknowledgment that should be coming your way sometime soon.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): While enjoying its leisure time, the peregrine falcon glides around at 50 miles per hour. But when it’s motivated by the desire to eat, it may swoop and dart at a velocity of 220 miles per hour. Amazing! In accordance with your astrological omens, Gemini, I propose that we make the peregrine falcon your spirit creature for the next three weeks. I suspect you will have extraordinary speed and agility and focus whenever you’re hunting for exactly what you want. So here’s a crucial question: what exactly do you want? CANCER (June 21-July 22): Now and then the sun shines and rain falls at the same time. The meteorological name for the phenomenon is “sunshower,” but folklore provides other terms. Hawaiians may call it “liquid sunshine” or “ghost rain.” Speakers of the Tangkhul language in India imagine it as “the wedding of a human and spirit.” Some Russians refer to it as “mushroom rain,” since it’s thought to encourage the growth of mushrooms. Whatever you might prefer to call it, Cancerian, I suspect that the foreseeable future will bring you delightful paradoxes in a similar vein. And in my opinion, that will be very lucky for you, since you’ll be in the right frame of mind and spirit to thrive amidst just such situations.

the tallest skyscrapers in Mexico City. When workers finished its construction in 2003, it was one of the world’s most earthquake-proof buildings, designed to hold steady during an 8.5-level temblor. Over the course of 2019, Virgo, I’d love to see you erect the metaphorical equivalent of that unshakable structure in your own life. The astrological omens suggest that doing so is quite possible. And the coming weeks will be an excellent time to launch that project or intensify your efforts to manifest it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Multitalented Libran singer and actor Donald Glover uses the name of Childish Gambino when he performs his music. How did he select that alias? He used an online random name generator created by the rap group Wu-Tang Clan. I tried the same generator and got “Fearless Warlock” as my new moniker. You might want to try it yourself, Libra. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to add layers to your identity and expand your persona and mutate your self-image. The generator is here: tinyurl.com/yournewname. (P.S.: If you don’t like the first one you’re offered, keep trying until you get one you like.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): Leonardo da Vinci’s painting Salvator Mundi sold for $450 million in 2017. Just twelve years earlier, an art collector had bought it for $10,000. Why did its value increase so extravagantly? Because in 2005, no one was sure it was an authentic da Vinci painting. It was damaged and had been covered with other layers of paint that hid the original image. After extensive efforts at restoration, the truth about it emerged. I foresee the possibility of a comparable, if less dramatic, development in your life during the next ten months, Scorpio. Your work to rehabilitate or renovate an underestimated resource could bring big dividends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): We can behold colors because of specialized cells in our eyes called cones. Most of us have three types of cones, but a few rare people have four. This enables them to see far more hues than the rest of us. Are you a tetrachromat, a person with super-vision? Whether you are or not, I suspect you will have extra powerful perceptual capacities in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will be able to see more than you usually do. The world will seem brighter and deeper and more vivid. I urge you to deploy your temporary superpower to maximum advantage. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are two kinds of minor, boring little tasks. One is when you’re attending to a detail that’s not in service to a higher purpose; the other is when you’re attending to a detail that is a crucial step in the process of fulfilling an important goal. An example of the first might be when you try in vain to scour a permanent stain on a part of the kitchen counter that no one ever sees. An example of the second is when you download an update for an existing piece of software so your computer works better and you can raise your efficiency levels as you pursue a pet project. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to keep this distinction in mind as you focus on the minor, boring little tasks that are crucial steps in the process of eventually fulfilling an important goal.

America’s Next Top Model

I’m seeing so many women on Instagram who’ve had themselves made over to be super hot through cosmetic surgery and injectable fillers. They all have the same face—with big, luscious lips and huge doll-like eyes. In every shot, they’re in full makeup—crazy eyeliner, tons of contouring. Do guys actually like this plastic Barbie look? Are guys cool with cosmetic surgery in general? —Curious If only these women of Instagram were honest in their photo credits: “Hair by Luigi. Makeup by Annabelle. Face by Dow Corning.” Countless men insist that they prefer “the natural look”—no makeup (let alone surgical re-mod)—yet they never go “Wow...gorgeous!” when you sashay toward them with a face full of unconcealed pimples. Helpfully, zoologist John R. Krebs and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins explain that “living organisms” can easily be tricked by crude fakes—fakes that bear only the itsy-bitsiest resemblance to the organisms’ real life stimuli. They give the example of what I call “Popsicle birdie”—how “a black-headed gull will show its normal aggressive response to a stuffed gull’s head mounted on a stick, with no body.” And then there’s the male stickleback fish, which gets red on the underside when in mating mode and will attack any other red-bellied male that enters its territory. In fact, mail also seems to be a problem—which is to say, a researcher’s male sticklebacks were observed attacking the side of their aquarium when a red mail van passed by the window of the lab. Well, guess what, fellow humans: We shouldn’t be too quick to feel superior to our friends with beaks, gills, and tails. Krebs and Dawkins note that a man can get “sexually aroused” by a mere photo of a naked woman. Of course, he knows it isn’t an actual woman, but the photo “has enough visual stimuli in common with the real thing to have a similar effect on his physiology.” Though it’s unlikely that women getting their faces remade in Klonedashian-esque ways are versed in anthropology, the enhancements they’re having done align with the female facial features that anthropologists like Douglas Jones have found are attractive to men across cultures. These are “neotenous” features -- meaning somewhat

babylike ones—like big eyes, full lips, a small jaw and chin, and clear skin. These features are basically evolution’s billboard, advertising a highly desirable interior—meaning that they are cues to health and fertility. (Of course, men just think HAWWWT.) However, though men evolved to prioritize looks in a woman, it’s obviously not all they value—especially when they’re hoping to get into a relationship. So these cosmetically and surgically redeveloped features may catch a man’s eye—but then, mentally, he may take a step back: “Oh, wait— she’s gotten all this work done.” And beyond how we all tend to feel threatened and even angered Amy Alkon by fakery, many men see a woman’s extensive re-mod as a red flag, reflecting less-than-healthy psychology— an empty interior hidden behind a fancy paint job and a new, um, deck. Also, consider that women who get their faces and bodies remade often seem to go by the reality TV standard, which seems to stem from stripper standards—exaggerated in-your-face sexuality. Research by Cari Goetz that I cited in a recent column finds that women with an overtly sexual look are generally not seen as long-term mating material by men. Though that research explored what women wore—scanty attire—it’s possible that women who wear a pile of makeup, with an overtly sexual look, would trigger the same reaction in men: basically, thumbs-up for a hookup or regular sex sessions—not so much on introducing Mom to a woman who looks as if her work uniform is sequin nipple tassels. However, there’s a counterpoint to all of this. Consider that it’s now possible, through medical innovation, to survive many diseases and conditions that were usually fatal. We don’t expect people with diseases to do what’s “natural”— suffer terribly and die. Maybe we’re a little too harsh on women who jump ahead in the beauty hierarchy through cosmetic procedures. (After all, we don’t knock men for using Rogaine, those little blue pills, or deodorant.) Additionally, maybe stigmatizing any sort of line-jumping stops discussion of the need for restraint in beauty-upgrading. As I see it, the most successful “work” is the sort we don’t notice—women who look like themselves, only, uh, “better rested” or something. Ultimately, if a woman invites a man to meet her closest relatives, he isn’t at a loss for whether she’s asking him to a family reunion or to hit the aisle in Home Depot where they sell that expandable foam insulation stuff that people spray into their walls.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Can you sit on your own head? Not many people can. It requires great flexibility. Before comedian Robin Williams was famous, he spontaneously did just that when he auditioned for the role of the extraterrestrial immigrant Mork, the hero of the TV sitcom Mork and Mindy. The casting director was impressed with Williams’ odd but amusing gesture, and hired him immediately. If you’re presented with an opportunity sometime soon, I encourage you to be inspired by the comedian’s ingenuity. What might you do to cinch your audition, to make a splashy first impression, to convince interested parties that you’re the right person?

The Oversupply Headache by Josh Jardine

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 7, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Oregon produces more cannabis than we consume, causing endless consternation for regulatory and law enforcement agencies. This oversupply has resulted in threats from the state’s attorney general that authorities needed to step up their enforcement and efforts to deal with it before he does. It’s also sent prices plunging, dropping 50 percent last year, with predictions that wholesale prices will drop again this year. A new cannabis audit by the Oregon Secretary Of State’s office assesses just how overcome we are with what I once would have never thought would be the “problem” of too much weed.

The audit resulted in four key findings: • The OLCC needs help—lots of it: The number of people licensed to grow cannabis for the recreational market, and those who wish to become licensed to do the same is overwhelming the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. Although a temporary moratorium was placed on new license applications June 15, OLCC doesn’t have the staffing to keep up with processing renewal and new license applications, and performing inspections. As the report notes, “As a result, only 3 percent of retailers and 32 percent of growers have had a compliance inspection.” • But the OHA isn’t doing so hot either: The Oregon Health Authority oversees the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, and it has bigger challenges than the OLCC. The Oregon Medical Marijuana Program has far less oversight than the OLCC’s recreational program, such as not requiring cameras at OMMP grow sites, and having a laughable total of four—four— inspectors to handle the 14,000 OMMP grow sites statewide. That’s 3,500 grow sites per inspector. The report mentions that the OHA has “struggled with decreasing revenues, turnover, and performance management.” • Heavy metal and weed are a bad combination: Recreational cannabis is required to be stringently tested, yet most OMMP cannabis is not. The OHA does not require heavy metal and microbiological testing, which is required by some states for their medical marijuana programs. • Testing, testing, 1,2,3: OHA faces serious challenges regarding cannabis

labs. Per the report, “Limited authority, inadequate staffing, and inefficient processes reduce OHA’s ability to ensure Oregon marijuana labs consistently operate under accreditation standards and industry pressures may affect lab practices and the accuracy of results.” The Oregonian writes that 45 percent of cannabis consumed comes from “legal home grows, medical marijuana growers and...the illegal market.” They also note that sales of extracts and concentrates grew 40 percent between 2017 to 2018. Still, at the rate Oregonians are consuming cannabis in its many forms, we presently have over a six-and-a-half year supply of harvested and cured cannabis. The OLCC’s concerns isn’t how sixand-a-half-year-old cannabis tastes (horrible, btw) but rather, the dreaded D word: Diversion. When cannabis can be procured for as low as $300 per pound, there are people who are tempted to take a road trip to canna-thirsty states such as Idaho, and find others who will gladly pay many times that amount. That isn’t a paranoid scenario on the part of law enforcement, as demonstrated last month by Portland resident and local poster child for “Boy, have you lost your damn mind?” Tim Marsano. Idaho State Police stopped Marsano and a driver in a semi truck Jan. 24, during a random and routine commercial vehicle safety check. The two had paperwork stating they were hauling 31 bags of hemp. Police believe the bags were actually packed full of cannabis, which could represent the largest bust in ISP history: 6,701 pounds of it. Testing is ongoing to determine if the cops are correct, but odds aren’t great this ends well for Marsano. Potential “solutions” to oversupply include raising license fees, which are lower than some states. But raising fees tenfold wouldn’t fix the revenue problem. Canopy sizes could be limited, but as OPB notes, “farmers could simply buy more licenses and grow more cannabis.” OLCC could limit the number of licenses issued or make permanent the licensing moratorium. The report also offers the idea that the OLCC could allow the market to correct itself via failures and consolidations. That’s now happening. Brands going under, or being bought out by corporate cannabis entities. Market corrections are brutal, and cannabis is no exception. Support craft cannabis, now more than ever.
