fter all this (blessed and welcome) rain, who’s ready for some summer? It doesn’t officially start for another several weeks, but we hope Chris Williams’ feature, interviewing surf legend Gerry Lopez, will kick things off in the right spirit. Meanwhile, our calendar is packed with awesome local events, including music shows happening all over the region. If you’re new to the area and looking for ways to meet people, might we suggest this week’s Culture story (on speed dating) or the Chow story (on a foodie meetup group) as some paths to follow? And as high school and college grads don their caps and gowns this week—most having full, in-person ceremonies this year—I want to extend my best wishes to those earning their degrees/diplomas (including my own child!). Weathering three school years of pandemic-version classes and going on to graduate amid it all is no small feat. Congratulations to you! Have a great week. @pocoken

OPINION Some Want Studies About Managed Camps. The Proposed Camp off 27th Will Be That Study.

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JUNE 09, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

ast week, the Bend City Council approved Phase 1 for funding a managed camp proposed to be built near 27th Street and Bear Creek Road on Bend’s east side. Central Oregon Villages, the nonprofit launched by former Bend police chief Jim Porter, aims to place some 20 small and temporary structures there to house currently unhoused women and children. The City Council’s approval of Phase 1 allocates $45,300 to allow Central Oregon Villages to move forward with its planning and community outreach on the project. Later, COV can file an application with the City to formally move forward with the project, with the plan tentatively being that the City will approve the use of some $1.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds to operate the facility. With so much community conversation happening around what should be done about the houseless population in Bend and Central Oregon, a lot is riding on this effort. As Porter put it, “We have to get this right.” We agree. By way of Central Oregon Villages, this is Bend’s opportunity to see that a managed camp, with stipulations around sobriety, cleanliness and conduct, is a far better option than continuing to allow unmanaged camps to proliferate around the margins of the city. Where an unmanaged camp might lack sanitation facilities, water or a place to cook, a managed camp provides the basics that means people are not setting fires that can get out of control, or deciding to go to the bathroom anywhere they can. Further, because this proposed camp is on private land— on the property of the Desert Streams Church—people operating the camp

have more opportunity to enforce rules around things like public camping. While there’s a lot riding on this effort, and not all has been decided, both Central Oregon Villages and its leasor should be commended for their efforts thus far. Desert Streams Church has demonstrated what faith communities can do, and how they can be part of a solution. Central Oregon Villages, meanwhile, was astute in pursuing a lease for a piece of private property instead of trying to use public land. Where federal court rulings such as Martin v. Boise restrict public entities from removing people camping on public land, the same is not true for private land. When conversations emerged about siting a managed camp on City-owned property near Bend Senior High School and Bear Creek Elementary, many local people were loudly opposed—at least in part due to the possibility of having other people who do not live in the camp hanging around, and there being no recourse to remove them. With the private-land siting of this proposed village, cops can, in theory, ask people to leave if needed. When it comes to the growing houselessness issue in Central Oregon, it seems many have an opinion. But when it comes to those willing to step up and find solutions, just one group stood up and submitted a proposal to the City’s Request for Proposals: Central Oregon Villages. This is the community’s chance to see how that effort plays out, and whether our tax dollars are better spent offering supportive communities for those experiencing homelessnessversus the current conundrum.

GUEST OPINION: PLEASE SIGN THE “KIDS NOT CAMPS” INITIATIVE FOR NOVEMBER BALLOT

from having homeless camps next to them AND believe that the voters should have a say in where these camps are located and how they are funded. “Kids Not Camps” is proposing that no city resources shall be used to create camps within 1,000 feet of a school and that if city resources are desired for a location away from schools it must be brought to the voters for approval with the following information: · Location of project · Give the distance from project to the three nearest schools · The maximum resources requested · Duration of funding Currently, we have been out in the community collecting the 15,000 signatures needed to get this initiative on the ballot but certainly feel the need to get more information out there and collect more signatures. A website has been created, www.kidsnotcamps.com, where you can read the initiative and findings with additional information. To sign, however, you must strictly be a resident in the City of Bend limits. From the website, you can download, sign the initiative and send it in if you do not run into a signature collector. We are going to be out in front of the downtown library on the next few Saturdays as well as updating the website on different areas where we will be collecting signatures. Don’t agree? You can sign the initiative and vote against it, your signature counts. Thank you.

DO WE REALLY CARE ABOUT BEND? Do we the residents of Bend really care what the once beautiful, laid back city of Bend is becoming? Well, some of us do but we can’t do it alone because we need you to question the Council and Planning Commission about their vision for the future of Bend. Are we going to allow unfettered development like that which is taking place off Century Drive and Colorado where the lot for a six-story building has been leveled to bare ground with nary a blade of grass or weed or heaven forbid a tree is left. Or like the recent Planning Commission approval of another six story, 297-unit structure that has been approved on a lot that has over 200 Ponderosa pines of which over 30 are mature carbon sequestering trees. This lot, bounded by Reed Market, Century and Mt. Bachelor Drive should be a park not a traffic-jamming monster higher than any tree on the lot. Is this what we want, well not I. So are you happy that the Council gets to replace two members without any say from the voters? Just another way for the “development without rules” folks to control what should be “Our” town. We need to question potential Council candidates about their views of what Bend should be and vote out those in favor of unfettered development. I weep when I think about what this town could have been, so should you.

5 VOLUME 26 ISSUE 23 / JUNE 09 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

No doubt since September of 2021, there has been an escalation of public interest regarding the growing population of Bend’s unhoused residents and where they should camp, how they should camp, who is in charge and how this gets funded. There has been a growing feeling of concern for the lack of transparency by the Bend City Council in communicating these issues with residents of the city of Bend in addition to an increase of community members voicing their opinions on platforms such as the city council meetings, newspapers and online media. Our city is somewhat divided on this issue. As a resident of Bend since 1994, I’ve never had cause or concern on how this city was run. I trusted the systems in place and have seen a lot of changes these past 28 years but never felt the need to speak out. However, when there was a proposed, low-barrier homeless camp that was to be placed next to where my 7 and 10-year-olds ride their bikes and go to school, frankly, I was surprised by this outrageous idea. As I soon found out, I certainly wasn’t alone. Luckily, this proposed idea by the Bend City Council has taken a back burner for the meantime, but clearly nobody wants to see this idea reignited near any school. This was a catalyst to create an initiative for the November ballot called, “Kids Not Camps.” We are a group of parents, community members, educators and business owners who want to protect our schools

Future Battles Over Guns

A string of mass shootings reignited conversations about gun control, and activists see paths to reducing gun violence in Oregon By Jack Harvel initiative for the November 2022 ballot that would limit magazine capacity to 10 and create a permit-to-purchase system. The permit would require prospective buyers to pass firearms training and complete a background check before being able to buy a gun — with an additional background check for each subsequent gun purchase. Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy found licensing laws are effective in reducing the rate of firearm suicide, firearm homicide and gun trafficking to underground markets. The center’s deputy director called it “one of the most effective policies we have to reduce gun violence.” Licensing laws would also make it less likely for people who would fail a background check to obtain a firearm. Now, every gun purchase requires the purchaser to begin a background check but can take the gun if it’s been three days since starting it. Nearly 90% of background checks are completed in minutes, but those that take longer than three business days are much more likely to be denied. The loophole is dubbed the Charleston Loophole, after the 2015 mass shooting perpetrated by a white supremacist who obtained a gun four days after submitting a background check that would’ve ultimately stopped the purchase. Oregon closed the gun show loophole in 2015, requiring all gun sales go through someone with a Federal Firearms License. Prior to that, private sellers could circumnavigate any background checks required by legitimate gun store owners. Though laws are on the books about unlicensed firearm sales, between 2015 and 2021 there have only been 15 citations, according

to the Oregon State Police. “I think utilization of the laws that we’ve passed is, I mean, this is one place where even gun rights advocates agree that we need to enforce the laws we have on the books,” Lynch said. “Law enforcement needs to take advantage of the laws that we have on the books. That includes enforcing background check laws, enforcing state-based storage laws and using the tool of emergency risk protection when it makes sense.” Enforcement and accessible information about the law is key for better outcomes in gun violence, Lynch says. Oregon’s emergency risk protection order, often dubbed as a “red flag” law, allows law enforcement to confiscate guns if they appear to be a risk to themselves or others, or if referred by a family member. The law could be used in case of imminent violence against others, but it could also be used in instances of suicidal ideation, which account for over 80% of Oregon’s gun deaths. The law is particularly underutilized in rural Oregon, where older men are disproportionately prone to suicide. “One of the best tools that we have to reduce gun suicide is Oregon’s emergency risk protection order, OERPOs, that enables family, law enforcement professionals to petition a court to take guns away from a person who’s in crisis. If more people knew about the law, more rural suicides could be prevented,” Lynch said. Mandatory waiting periods are also meant to reduce suicide deaths. Risk of death by suicide is 100 times higher in the first 20 days of purchasing a handgun, according to the New England Journal of Medicine.

Shutoff Shutdown Shut Down

If you missed a water bill these past two years, you wouldn’t get your water shut off. That changes at the end of the month. By Jack Harvel

he Bend utilities department will resume water shutoffs for delinquent payments on July 1, after two years of allowing people who hadn’t paid their bills to keep drawing City water. City Manager Eric King issued an emergency declaration suspending water service shutoffs in March 2020 due to the pandemic. The order was due to expire on June 30, 2021, but technical difficulties forced utility director Mike Buettner to extended the order for another year. “The City was just going live on a utility billing software conversion,” said Dana Wilson, utility business manager for the City of Bend. During the height of delinquent billing about 2,500 customers weren’t paid up with the utilities department, totaling in a little under $1 million in past due water service. About 700 fewer customers are in the red now, but the number of past-due fees actually ticked up slightly to around $1.1 million, according to Wilson. Though the utility department doesn’t ask for reasons bills went unpaid, customer behavior spans from a missed bill to a full stop of paying the department. “We see some customers that missed a payment back in maybe March, April, May of last year, who may not be aware that they’ve missed a payment due to that conversion. And then we see customers who stopped paying at the beginning of the pandemic and for unknown reasons haven’t made their payments

today,” Wilson said. The department’s software glitch that postponed shutoffs another year stemmed from insufficient capabilities of the department under the new billing software. Errors cascaded from the department’s lack of server memory and an underperforming central processing unit. Bills started being sent irregularly which made getting back to normal even more challenging. “A comprehensive solution was not available at the beginning because there was not a single point of failure. With every step in the process, as one issue was corrected a new set of errors would emerge that had to be addressed in order to move to the next step,” Wilson wrote in an email. The City is communicating that shutoffs will resume by sending 90-day notices to every Bend utility department customer, as well as press releases, social media posts and bill inserts. People struggling to pay back delinquent bills can get in touch with NeighborImpact, a Central Oregon nonprofit that helps economically disadvantaged households, to apply for utility assistance. So far, it’s dispersed about $30,000 to 60 households out of the $200,000 set aside for utility assistance. Payment plans through the City are also an option, and allow the debt to be paid off over the next two years, but customers need to enroll before June 30.

“The only requirement is that they pay their regular monthly bill and all payment plan payments on time will not be subject to collections or water service shutoff,” Wilson said. “This is new; the City has never offered this type of service before, and we urge customers who do not qualify for low-income utility assistance programs to use this to avoid water service shutoff starting July 1.” Wilson said more people are squaring up their bills already, and she expects the return of water shutoffs to spur the department into more normal conditions within the next two months. Though the department received over $1 million less in revenues than projected in its budget, it anticipated increased levels of “bad debt.” That, and decreased expenditures, kept the utility department able to keep up with services and projects even with lost revenue. “In 2021 the total revenues for the Water Fund were about $1.7 million less than budgeted but expenditures were also lower than budgeted by $6.5 million — for a myriad of reasons such as personnel savings due to vacancies, unneeded materials and services or repairs and maintenance budgeted that did not materialize, timing differences in capital spending — so the lack of revenue as budgeted did not prevent expenditures for services or projects to stop,” Wilson wrote.

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 23 / JUNE 09 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

n May 14 a racist attack on a Buffalo supermarket killed 10 and injured three; it was the deadliest mass shooting of the year—until just 10 days later, when a gunman killed 21 and injured 17 at a school in Uvalde, Texas. At least 246 mass shootings occurred so far in 2022 according to the Gun Violence Archive, which defines mass shootings as an incident in which at least four people are shot, excluding the shooter. The carnage reignited a stalled debate on gun control. There haven’t been any federal restrictions since the 1994 federal assault weapons ban that prohibited the sale of military-style semiautomatic rifles and magazines over 10 rounds that expired in 2004. Without federal regulations, states have diverged in policy, with Republican states moving toward greater access to firearms while Democratic ones tend to regulate the market. Oregon has the 11th-strongest gun laws in the U.S., according to Everytown for Gun Safety. The gun violence rate in the state is near average, with 13 gun deaths per 100,000 residents per year. Oregon’s political environment makes further gun control more feasible and activists are seeking to fill cracks in the surface. “I am a mom of three public school students and I’m a substitute teacher. And I know how intense the sense of despair is about school-based mass shootings in particular,” said Jenn Lynch, President of the Oregon Alliance for Gun Safety. “I hope that the anger and frustration and fear that’s felt by teachers in Oregon, and their students is something that can circumvent or overcome our super-entrenched politics on this issue.” To combat the most violent mass shootings, Lift Every Voice Oregon is petitioning a gun control

St. Charles Employees Proposed Managed Camp Has a Site A proposed managed houseless camp is a step closer Seek Union to becoming a reality By Jack Harvel

Courtesy of Central Oregon Villages

By Jack Harvel

bout 300 St. Charles Health System employees filed for union representation on June 3, just a few weeks after the health care provider terminated 181 positions, citing large budget deficits. The employees are represented by the Central Oregon Providers Network and hope to join the American Federation of Teachers, the United States second largest teachers union that also includes about 20,000 health care professionals in its ranks. The union isn’t seeking wage increases or better benefits; rather, it’s seeking greater impact in the decision-making process at the hospital system. An AFT press release contends St. Charles’ current deficit is a result of poor management decisions before and during the pandemic that are affecting patient care. “With a union, St. Charles will no longer be able to ignore our input affecting patient care. We need to be at the table and work with the administration to ensure patients are the top priority. Through collaboration, we can improve patient care and ensure responsible decision-making,” said Dr. Josh Plank, a hospitalist, in a press release. Organizers hope to hold elections for union positions in the coming weeks. St. Charles, which employs upwards of 4,500 people in Central Oregon throughout Bend, Prineville, Redmond, La Pine, Madras and Sisters, said that patient care is the hospital system’s highest priority and that it will work with a union, though it’s not its preference. “We greatly value our employed providers and respect their right to take this step, although we’d far prefer to work directly with them in partnership while navigating these unprecedented times,” said Dr. Jeff Absalon, chief physician executive for St. Charles Health System in a press release. “We know many health care workers are frustrated and exhausted after the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our focus as individuals and a health system needs to be on healing and recovering from the pandemic and stabilizing our finances so that we can preserve and strengthen the vital health care services that we provide to our community.”

Pallet structures house one to two people, but don’t have access to plumbing. At Central Oregon Villages’ proposed site they could manage up to 20 structures, with a priority to take in women and children.

he Bend City Council approved the first planning phase of a managed village for the unhoused at its regular meeting on June 1. If approved after Phase 1 the village will consist of 20 Pallet-brand structures on about 2 acres of land leased from the Desert Streams Church on 27th Street. Central Oregon Villages will operate the village and in the coming months must secure the site and refine its design, track and respond to community feedback and keep City staff up to date with its progress. The proposed shelter would operate under the stipulations outlined in House Bill 2006, a 2021 bill that required cities to approve shelters if they met certain criteria, including complying with building codes, access to transportation and assessing health and safety risks. If Central Oregon Villages is successful in Phase 1 it will need to come back for approval to place the 20 structures. The nonprofit said it will prioritize women and children as tenants, will have a coordinated entry and exit system, have portable toilets and water stations, daily food deliveries and have a mobile shower truck visit regularly. It would be a high-barrier shelter,

meaning people wouldn’t be able to use drugs or drink alcohol, and must participate in case management and maintain the area. During public comment about a dozen people spoke against the proposed plan, fearing reduced property values and increased crime. Former Bend police chief and President of Central Oregon Villages Jim Porter said people’s fears are justified, but misaligned. “The neighbors are talking about drug use, people using the street for a bathroom, crime and graffiti in that area by people who are living in unmanaged camps—so it’s true in an unmanaged camp situation these things do exist, and our proposal is to turn that around and have managed camps,” Porter told the Council. The City paid Central Oregon Villages an amount not to exceed $45,300 out of $1.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds earmarked for an outdoor shelter. The agreement between the City and Central Oregon Villages expires on Dec. 31. Central Oregon Villages will have to come back for further approval for Phase 2, at which point it can install the Pallet structures and begin operations.

Catching Up with Mr. Humble Big wave surfer Gerry Lopez lives the legends, and shares the stories in a new film

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JUNE 09, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Chris Williams

o call big wave surfer Gerry Lopez a legend at this point would be an understatement. Yet, he still finds this status shocking. Lopez talks about his accomplishments with a humbleness that only a true master of their craft could possess and has an air of calm surrounding him that is infectious. He pioneered some of the most famous surf spots today, earned the status of Mr. Pipeline at one of Hawaii’s most notorious breaks and always welcomed new innovations in the surf world that others may have sneered at, all in the name of fun and curiosity. While surf was a big part of his life, snow crept in, too. Lopez has lived in Bend for 30 years after falling in love with snowboarding and the Bend community, and still loves it here today. The Source Weekly was lucky enough to catch him over Zoom in between tour dates, where he’s premiering the new film, “The Yin and Yang of Gerry Lopez: The Path to Enlightenment Begins at the World’s Deadliest Wave,” produced with surf and skate legend Stacy Peralta. The film is premiering in select theaters and festivals across the country, and will complement the third printing of Lopez’s book “Surf is Where You Find It.” Tour dates are still being announced, with a Bend screening in the works to be posted at a later date. The conversation has been lightly edited for clarity. Source Weekly: For our readers who haven’t heard about the film yet, what is it about? Gerry Lopez: Me. (laughs). I mean, I read all these reviews on the thing and I’m going, “Who are they talking about?” The movie goes through a lot of these different phases of my life. To put it metaphorically, for me, it’s kind of just an extension of the surfing experience. You find yourself in different situations in surfing and one of them is called getting caught inside when you’re

out of position—when a big set comes and not only are you not able to catch the waves, but the tables get turned and the waves are going to catch you and you get pounded. So you have choices. You can kind of just give up and get washed back to the beach or you can panic, which is even worse, or you just know what’s about to happen. You put your head down and you keep paddling and in a way that’s kind of what one of the messages of the film is. Whether it has to do with surfing or life, it’s kind of the same thing that you have these choices and they’re up to you. What choice are you going to make? SW: How did the film come together working with Stacy Peralta? GL: Stacy Peralta is a friend of mine and we’ve worked on a couple of things in the past together. Not only does he have a huge reputation as one of the early skateboarders, but as a filmmaker he’s been tremendously successful. I knew when he was one of the Z Boys, and as a kid he was already making videos. I was with some friends and they go, “Hey, we got to watch this movie, it’s called ‘Dogtown and Z-Boys.’” And I watched it and I couldn’t believe, you know, how great it

der Ae ik

was. I knew most of those guys and they were kind of rough, to put it mildly. The way he put that film together, he made those guys look like giants. I mean, it was really, really complementary of not only that era, but those people… Even though some of them are a little haggard, when he was interviewing them, he really got great interviews out of them. Later on, he was doing a movie for Quicksilver called “Riding Giants,” about big wave surfing and he came up and we did a pretty big interview for that. And at that time, he mentioned something about maybe doing a movie together about my life. One thing led to another and Patagonia started a film division, and a friend there called me up saying, “We want to do [the film].” It all came together and it took a while, but long story short, the film’s done and we premiered at the Santa Barbara film festival back in March.

“The Best swell ever at the Pipeline and the enjoyment of being comfortably at ease with myself there.”-Gerry Lopez

SW: How do you think the film perceives you versus how you perceive yourself? GL: Kind of shocking, actually. I guess I perceive myself a lot smaller or less than the way it comes off in the film. I don’t believe

Steve Wilkins

that I’ve got anything special going different than anyone else. I think I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. Guys took pictures of me, I had a lot of opportunities to do other stuff that maybe a lot of people dream about, and maybe don’t get those opportunities. My whole life has always been about doing stuff that I find really interesting. SW: How do you see the book and film complementing each other? GL: Well, I’m old school. Before television, newspapers and reading were how you learned and gathered information. Books were a huge part of my life from as soon as I could read and have always been and still

SW: What do the film and book mean to you personally? GL: A lot of our work (laughs). SW: Have you had a conversation with the non-surfing crowd and how they’ve been enjoying [the film]? GL: I’m just back from the MountainFilm festival in Telluride, Colorado… The response [from non-surfers] was kind of overwhelming to see what they got out of the film. They maybe knew a little about me or a little about surfing, but that wasn’t what the takeaway was. It was that a lot beyond surfing that they can really relate to, like family and dealing with any kind of issues or adversity. SW: Who are you and Stacy trying to reach out to with the film? GL: Well, I mean, there’s our world, which is the surf world, but at the same time, we felt that there might be a greater message that goes beyond the surf world. I think our hope was that we could somehow get that message across to the people that weren’t surfers and maybe aren’t even interested in surfing. SW: Were you trying to reach a similar audience with the book? GL: When I first thought about writing a book, I read all the books that all the other surfers have written and that wasn’t the kind of book I wanted to write. I guess the whole reason the book came about was that I tell stories about things that happen and people often would say, “You should write that down.” And a lot of the stories in the book were actually stories that I wrote for different publications and kind of just put

them all together. But mostly, they were about people that have really impressed or influenced me throughout my life as well as adventures that were fun to share with friends. The idea of writing these kinds of short stories was that, I like to laugh when I think about it, when I tell people, “This is a bathroom book” (laughs) and they go, “What do you mean by that?” I go, “Well, you leave it in your bathroom and every morning when you go in to do your business there’s a nice short story. You can read that. Get you through the process and in some cases maybe scare the crap out of you” (laughs). It’s the kind of book that people can read a little and put it down and come back to at a different time and still find it interesting. I just want it to be a book that you could pick up no matter where you are, what your mood is, open it up to any page and just start reading and go, “OK, that sounds fun.” SW: How have sources of inspiration evolved for you over the years? GL: I just take it as it comes and every day. There’s something that just kind of makes me raise my eyebrows and go, “Whoa! That got my attention.” I think that’s all you can hope for is to be inspired to think and feel, and hopefully the film can do that for people. SW: Is there an environmental advocacy part of the film? I know that’s a big emphasis for Patagonia films. GL: Yeah. That was a big part of all the films that we’ve done at Patagonia. And we talked about it at length and finally, all of us, the owners included, came to a realization that this film is environmental in the sense that what we’re delving into is an inner environment. And you know, my inner environment is environmental!

“My whole life has always been about doing stuff that I find really interesting.” -Gerry Lopez

This shot from 1991 gives an interesting perspective of a tube ride at Pipeline. The wave will break in front of the surfer, but it is the Pipe so he will be able to ride through the tunnel... or so he hopes.

are. So, I would much rather read a newspaper than watch the news on TV. A book always gives the person a little bit more depth because they can pause during the reading process and think about what was just read and not be interrupted. The book came way before the ltz hu yS film. The newest [book] is the m m To latest one with new pictures. We actually didn’t add any more stories but it came out really nice. The film is fast. So, pretty much all the stories, all those adventures in the book are parts of the movie.

The Enduring Duo

The Indigo Girls open for Sarah McLachlan June 10 in Bend, showing off a musical career now in its fifth decade By Alan Sculley

ost musicians found their activities curtailed during the pandemic. For the Indigo Girls, the past two years have been a particularly busy season. The duo of Emily Saliers and Amy Ray just released a livestream project, “Look Long: Together,” that took a year and a half to complete, they’re the subject of an upcoming documentary film, and had their music reinvented for the movie “Glitter & Doom.” Saliers has been writing music for two stage musicals and Ray will soon release a new solo album. That’s quite a busy schedule, even for an act like the Indigo Girls, who have been consistently active since releasing their first album, “Strange Fire,” in 1987. Most bands that debuted around that time—if they’re still together—now only sporadically make albums (if at all) and are considered heritage acts. That’s not the Indigo Girls. “We still feel like we are a working band. We tour and we make albums and we work, and that feels good,” Saliers said in a mid-May phone interview. This latest spate of activity has come on the heels of the release of the 16th Indigo Girls’ studio album, “Look Long,” which arrived in May 2020. A stirring effort, “Look Long” not only features the highly melodic folkpop (on songs like “When We Were Writers,” “Look Long” and “Sorrow And Joy”) that has always been an Indigo Girls signature, but rhythmically creative songs that touch on hip-hop (“S**t Kickin’”), Caribbean music (“Howl At The Moon”) and catchy upbeat rockers (“Change My Heart” and “K.C. Girl”). But by the time “Look Long” was released, the pandemic had scuttled plans for a full-band tour to support the album. Now Saliers and Ray, along with longtime violinist Lyris Hung, are getting to promote “Look Long” on an extensive summer tour, including a June 10 stop in Bend, with Sarah McLachlan. Saliers said the show will feature about five songs from the latest album along with a generous selection of back catalog material. Next year, the Indigo Girls hope to do

The Indigo Girls — Emily Saliers, left, and Amy Ray — playing June 10 with Sarah McLachlan, say they have yet to write any "Pandemic tunes.”

a full-band tour. “Some people like the band and some people like us acoustic or just stripped down,” Saliers said. “We just haven’t had the opportunity to tour with the band because of COVID and we really miss that. So it was good to put out the streaming concert and it will be great to get back with the band next year.” That streaming concert, “Look Long: Together,” debuted May 8 on the VEEPS platform and is a unique concert special that features performances of a career-spanning set of songs (some of which feature appearances from guests Becky Warren Tomi Martin, Trina Meade and Lucy Wainwright Roche) combined with commentary segments about the songs from Saliers and Ray. The year and a half of work that went into the livestream took up some of the pandemic-forced downtime.

Saliers also spent considerable time working on two musicals that have expanded her range as a songwriter. One thing Saliers has not done yet is write for another Indigo Girls album. Considering that “Look Long” was completed before the pandemic, there should be plenty of inspiration for lyrics from Saliers and Ray, both of whom are gay and have long been involved in a wide variety of social causes, including LBGTQ issues, Native American rights, immigration reform and climate change. But Saliers said she’ll need time to process the pandemic to even know what to say about the experience. Saliers and Ray might also have to consider how to respond lyrically to what may be a sea change of conservative initiatives, the biggest of which so far is the likely Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that legalized abortion. Like many pro-choice advocates, Saliers didn’t think Roe v. Wade would be overturned and is appalled at the prospect of its demise. Legal access to abortion had been established law for decades with multiple subsequent Supreme Court rulings that affirmed the Roe decision. Plus, polls have consistently shown a solid majority of Americans don’t want Roe overturned. “But the truth is there has been a concerted effort (to overturn Roe),” Saliers said, noting that conservative politicians and activists and certain parts of the evangelical community are among those who have mounted a strategic plan to gain the power in various levels of government and the courts needed to target Roe and other progressive issues. “It’s been going on a long time. So while the thought before was shocking, it’s easy to understand how we’ve come to this place.” Sarah McLachlan with the Indigo Girls Fri., June 10.

Join DRIFT for a release party for its reflective and powerful album, “The Innocents”

Mark Quon says DRIFT is feeling both excited and anxious for the release show.

In April, Bend-based band DRIFT released its debut album, the 12-track acoustic rock collection titled “The Innocents.” DRIFT features the talents of Mark Quon, Terrence Neal, John Allen, Matthew Fletcher and Linda Quon. Now the band is ready to throw a rocking release party this Friday at the Volcanic Theatre Pub. Mark Quon has a long history of playing tunes and creating music in Central Oregon, having done so since 2005. You’ll know him for his work with The Quons, the folk-duo with his wife and musical collaborator Linda; folky four-piece Parlour; and the David Bowie tribute band Aladinsane, which plays its last show July 6 at Worthy Brewing. The five-piece’s debut is packed with vivid imagery and a calming sound that will pull listeners in. “We’ve been together, probably about three years now. This is our first album recorded. The band has kind of grown. It started out as a trio, and that was myself, Terrence Neal and John Allen. Then we added my wife Linda, and Matthew, the drummer; he is our most recent addition,” says Quon. Something I noticed immediately about “The Innocents” was its storytelling, which is something Quon emphasized he wants people to focus on. Throughout the 12 songs there is inspiration from all points of Quon’s life: his friends, and even the world around us. “My Life” was inspired by Quon’s dad, with the unease and dissatisfaction of letting go at the end of one’s life. “Road I’m Runnin’” pulls from his brother’s struggles, and is a song that can be important to anyone going down a tough road. Then there are songs from his own dreams, and sometimes, other people’s as well. “I pull a lot of inspiration out of dreams. I’m kind of a heavy dreamer and a dark dreamer. When I tell people about my dreams they’re like, ‘What the hell?!’” shares Quon. “‘Into another Dream’ is actually about not my dream, but my wife’s. I could hear her lying next to me, and you can tell when someone is having a bad dream, ya know? I reached over and tried to shake her out of it. That song

is about someone else’s experience and wondering what they’re dreaming about.” The title track of the album is one in particular that stood out to me on first listen. Opening with the chattering of birds and the natural world, the song ponders and attempts to look ahead to what the Earth may be like without humans living on it. Thanks to Marvin Gaye and what Quon calls his pessimistic attitude, the song makes for a beautiful, sad and powerful opener. It also happens to be one of Quon’s favorites. “That song came about—my wife and I were painting the living room and Marvin Gaye’s ‘Mercy Mercy Me’ came on, and I remembered that song from when I was a teenager. I had forgot about it. And I was groovin’ to it and I realized how he was singing about the environment and the trashing of the Earth and that sort of inspired me to write a follow-up. I’m such a self-proclaimed pessimist that I know we’re never going to figure it out,” he says. Quon warns that this album is not the one to go to if you’re looking for a feelgood, pick-me-up kind of soundtrack. If you’re looking to get moody and reflect on some things about life, then DRIFT is the way to go. As a band in general, these five are making music many don’t hear around Central Oregon too often. “I do feel that our music is different from a lot of the music going on in Central Oregon. There are a lot of jam-type bands, or bluegrass bands, and this band is none of those. It’s more reflective music and storytelling. It’s like singer/songwriter put to more of a rock feel. It’s definitely not a dancy type of music,” laughs Quon. Those interested in the release party can get tickets online at bendticket.com. There will be a small supply of physical CDs available, and “The Innocents” is also available on Bandcamp, Apple Music and Spotify.

Gung Ho for Angsty Rock Studded bracelets and skateboards encouraged at these two big shows By Chris Williams

uring the late ‘90s to early 2000s there was a post-grunge boom that gave rise to bands now synonymous with MTV music videos: bleached hair and loud guitars, riffing about rebellion while someone skated in the background. The slack-punk that rose after grunge’s heyday produced an insane number of hit songs that are still popular with young college partiers and millennials clinging to their teenage angst. One of the leading bands of this era is Lit. Lit’s legendary hit, “My Own Worst Enemy,” touches on all of the “Get out of my room, mom!!!” themes. The nostalgia and energy of this song alone would make the show worth seeing. But, the band isn’t a one-hit wonder. Lit is on tour and is set to release its seventh studio album June 17, already with successful singles such as “Yeah Yeah Yeah” and “Kicked Off the Plane” released earlier this year. The project will touch back to the band’s roots, but with more polished production and a matured musicianship that comes with over 20 years of recording and performing experience. The band will play at General Duffy’s Waterhole Sat., June 11 alongside another post-grunge band, Floater. Meanwhile the Century Center will transform into an outdoor venue this weekend. Collective Soul will get things started at the venue, bringing a 20-year repertoire to the stage. Formed in Georgia, the band is famous for bringing the grunge of the Pacific Northwest to the South. Collective Soul’s first album, “Hints, Allegations & Things Left Unsaid,” was released in 1994 and quickly went platinum. The band doesn’t show signs of slowing down, either, with a well-received album release in 2019 and rumors of more music on the way. The band will take the stage Thu., June 9.

Love Note Begets Speed Dating Event

CULTURE

After a grand gesture at Newport Market, two Bend single guys go big to help people find dates By Nicole Vulcan

Source Weekly: Ben’s out of town right now—so tell us about the backstory of this upcoming event. Chi Patel: So he writes—he’s like, you know what? You have beautiful ocean eyes, and you know, I saw you in the produce aisle. I will be back here on Thursday at the 19th hour and ideally, you will be too. So he goes back to Newport Market, the note is not there and he’s like, whoa, why isn’t it there? But he stays pondering for a bit. And then a young lady comes out that works there and she’s like, can I help you? And he’s like, well, I’m looking for a note that I put up here. She’s like, oh, you put that note? He’s like, yeah, so turns out that she’s like, all right, follow me. And he’s like, oh man. I’m in trouble. Maybe I shouldn’t have put that note there. So he goes into the store and sees that it’s actually mass printed and posted all around the store. He’s like, well, this is different trouble. I still don’t know what’s about to happen. So I’ll continue walking. And then when he gets to the back of the store, still where customers can walk and stuff, there’s a reporter there and she asked him if he would be up for being interviewed and he said, yes, and so he had a quick little interview with her outside of Newport Market. So he tells me this story and I’m like, man, this is where I come in. I’m like, no way—that’s freaking awesome that you

Newport Market added a shoutout on its sign in honor of Ben Capelin’s efforts to grab a date. From there, Capelin’s friend Chi Patel launched a speed dating event to make finding love a bit easier in Bend.

had a reporter do a story on you and your efforts. And then I was like, what’s not awesome is that dating in Bend is so freaking tough that grandiose gestures like that don’t even work. And then we just start planning the event. It’s going to be a little different than traditional speed dating events—we’re going to have team-building activities in the middle. The beginning is like an icebreaker, an opportunity to kind of view your perspective partner, view their cognitive ability; if they have like high stress levels or they have the ability to be jovial—and then from there we’re going to cruise into the whole six-minute intervals. Named the 19th Hour Speed Dating event in honor of Capelin’s “19th Hour” note, the event invites local singles to come dressed to impress on Saturday, June 15. If it’s successful, Patel hopes to organize more events to

make finding love in Bend a bit easier for local singles. "We try to have a range of events, a little something for everyone," said Angela Moore, marketing magician for Silver Moon Brewing. "It can be a bit awkward meeting people in Central Oregon and The 19th Hour is trying to take some of that awkwardness away, and we think it's pretty cool. Who knows, maybe we'll be hosting a wedding reception down the road!"

his spring, Ben Capelin thought he made a connection with a woman in the produce section of Newport Market. After failing to connect with her that day, he decided to leave a note at the market, inviting her to meet up another day. While it didn’t quite work out as planned, the experience did inspire Capelin and his friend Chi Patel to organize a speed dating event at Silver Moon Brewing on June 15. The Source chatted with Patel, the brainchild of this month’s speed dating event, about the details of that missed encounter at Newport Market.

in Beer, Food and Wine CHOW Adventures A local foodie group celebrates food and community By Nicole Vulcan Nicole Vulcan

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 23 / JUNE 09 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

oving to a new town might prompt one to troll the bars or to join a sports team to meet new people. In modern times, the online site meetup. com is another place for those looking for like-minded individuals—and that’s exactly where Tom Cappy went looking for connections when he moved to Central Oregon in March of 2009. An avowed foodie who grew up in an Italian family hailing from Sicily and Campania, Cappy sought out like-minded individuals by way of the “Adventures in Beer, Food and Wine” group on Meetup, where Central Oregonians have for over a decade met up to explore happy hours and enjoy group dinners at local restaurants and people’s homes. The group has 260+ members as of this writing. Now the organizer of the group, Cappy hosts many of the dinners at his own home, where in recent months I’ve learned how to churn out fresh pasta, and, on another night, learned the variances of pairing food with Italian wine. “Originally the group (before I took the helm) hosted full sit-down dinners, once a month. When I took over, I changed it over to happy hours mainly,” Cappy said, adding that happy hours are becoming rarer in Bend these days. “Next in popularity would be my Italian night dinners; they tend to book up within minutes. I do two or three of those a month. What can I say, I love to cook!” The May 24 event at Cappy’s house, an Italian dinner featuring a master sommelier, included five courses, including a fennel and red onion salad, zucchini fritters, wine-braised lamb shanks on butternut squash and parsnips, garlic and thyme spring veggies, and finally a “piccolo dolci”—little sweets in Italian—featuring a selection of several desserts. Cappy’s brother, Mike Cappy, a 3rd Level Master Sommelier from the an Association of Italian Sommeliers, served le Vulc ico up wines including Rosé Franciacorta, N Aglianico, Brunello, Nobile di Montepulciano, Picolit and a digestif to go with all of those little sweets. While one might be able to find a similar culinary experience at any of the many Italian restaurants dotting Central Oregon, the food and wine is, of course, only part of the vibe. Cappy intentionally keeps the number of attendees low, typically to eight guests for home dinners, so as to encourage conversation and allow people to get to know one another. “The attraction for home-based events is likely the size,” Cappy said. “Plus, they have the ‘restaurant’ all to themselves, and afterwards, if they wish,

they can stay for hours and converse. I cap all of my events to eight. That’s good for conversation as well. There are other meetup groups in town that welcome 20 to 30 at a time. Inside or out, some people don’t do well with crowds.” Home-based events also allow for more sharing of knowledge; at another recent event, Cappy taught a group how to make limoncello, that sweet lemon digestif that often tops off an Italian meal, sending some home with each guest. Another recent event invited guests to dress up and enjoy a meal in honor of the Kentucky Derby. Cappy said one of his most memorable events involved hosting a house concert and a dinner for 53 people. “First, I had to make a stage, replete with lights, then dream up a menu, then promote it. It’s what I do. My friend Terrance Barnham who I met at the Commons one night where

we were both performing on open mic night, played for a couple of hours. It was so intimate. A beautiful evening,” Cappy shared. “Another memorable event was a March weekend up in the upper Willamette Valley wine tasting. There were six of us, we toured about eight vineyards over two days. Lots of fun. On the way back we crossed the Wheatland Ferry, and then when we were coming back over the mountains, we drove through a blizzard. Another would be when Kayo’s was hosting 50-cent oysters. We cleaned them out! We all started with four dozen each!” Cappy’s home between Bend and Sisters doesn’t offer the same ambiance and buzz that a fancy restaurant might, he admits—but in exchange it's a more intimate experience that gives newcomers and those, like me, bored with the rush of the regular restaurant scene, an opportunity to try something new. “These dinners, as do the other events I host, give me purpose,” Cappy said. “Plus, I really like bringing people together.” Adventures in Beer, Food and Wine meetup.com/beerfoodandwine/

Family trauma can be found in "Montana Story."

THE BAD GUYS: Sam Rockwell as an anti-hero wolf who, along with his team of thieves, starts pretending to be a good guy in order to eventually get away with bad guy stuff. With a voice cast featuring Marc Maron, Zazie Beetz, Craig Robinson, Richard Ayoade, Awkwafina and more, this is the most irrationally excited I’ve been for an animated film in a long time. Regal Old Mill THE BOB’S BURGERS MOVIE: I don’t know if we can really call “Bob’s Burgers” underrated anymore since it has been on over 10 seasons, but can we truly appreciate how wonderful this cartoon has consistently been over the years? With their first theatrical adventure, Loren Bouchard and company have made a musical murder mystery and I am absolutely there for it. Regal Old Mill CHARLOTTE: An animated drama following the re-

al-life painter Charlotte Salomon and her exile from Berlin to the South of France on the eve of WWII. The animation and story for this are truly gorgeous. Sisters Movie House

his long-awaited return to body horror with this disturbing look at a future where an artist couple grows, regrows and removes new bodily organs for a live audience. It’s super gross but it’s also sort of beautiful in a nightmarish hellscape sort of way. Regal Old Mill

DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS: Sam Raimi returns to the superhero genre in what is almost as good as the other big multiverse movie this year, “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” Easily the, ahem, strangest Marvel movie so far. My nerd glee is bursting. Regal Old Mill

DOWNTON ABBEY: A NEW ERA: It’s time to check

in again with America’s second favorite group of British aristocrats as they allow a Hollywood crew to film a movie at their beloved Downton. I hope they keep making these movies forever because Maggie Smith is a treasure. Regal Old Mill

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE:

Martial arts, sci-fi and mind-f*ck combine for this jaw-dropping showcase of the brilliant Michelle

Yeoh and the unsung comedic chops of Jamie Lee Curtis. From the Daniels, this is a breathtaking work of imagination that uses cinematic techniques we haven’t seen since the heyday of Spike Jonze and Michele Gondry. Regal Old Mill, Tin Pan Theater

MEN: From the writer/director of “Ex Machina” and

“Annihilation” comes this deeply disturbing thriller about a woman who’s either dealing with something supernatural or she’s losing her mind. From A24, this is going to be a horror masterwork that stays in our minds for a very long time. Regal Old Mill

MONTANA STORY: Hayley Lu Richardson and Owen Teague are both remarkable actors and this dark and bleak look at family trauma should finally net them some recognition. “Montana Story” feels like a novel as it plays out in front of you like a Cormac McCarthy story he hasn’t thought of yet. Sisters Movie House

JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION: I’m in the minority

in thinking the last couple “Jurassic World” movies had a few pretty exciting moments but weren’t actually great movies. This new one brings back Sam Neil, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum from the original, so I’m hoping this one manages to find some of the magic that has been missing. Ultimately, dinosaurs are cool, so this should be fun. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2: I have it on trusted au-

thority that this one is better than the first and has an all-time great comedic performance from the now (possibly?) retired Jim Carrey. Full disclosure, I used to work with one of the writers on this film and consider him a friend but would be excited for another great Jim Carrey role either way. Regal Old Mill

TOP GUN: MAVERICK: There’s a reason why Tom

Cruise is the last true movie star and it’s mostly because he’s that perfect blend of creepy, weird and desperate to entertain us—and boy does he. This feels like a true Hollywood crowd-pleaser in a way we haven’t seen in years. Talk about a highway to the danger zone. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins

SCREEN May the Source Be With You: Night Vale, Finales and Running Up That Hill June’s Edition of things for your eyes and ears

Courtesy of Netflix

Sadie Sink succinctly steals this season of "Stranger Things."

think there’s a little trend that might be changing for the better when it comes to shows and podcasts right now. One of the running clichés about television is that the longer a show is going, the worse it progressively gets. There are very few shows going back decades that people think either got better and better as they went or ended out on a really high note. Look at all the (deserved) hate the final season of “Game of Thrones” received. No one thinks the final seasons of “Lost,” “Dexter,” “The Wire,” “Buffy,” “How I Met Your Mother” or even “Seinfeld” are among the series’ best.

But now with the runaway popularity of streaming, a lot of shows that are currently going seem more focused on their legacy. So many shows that were long forgotten have popped back up on services like Peacock and Paramount+, leading to critical re-evaluations of whether they stuck the landing or not. I’m not sure if one thing is related to another, but so many currently running shows that are either in their final or penultimate seasons seem to be absolutely at the height of their storytelling powers. Even some long running podcasts have stopped running on fumes and seem to be digging in and

recapturing some of their magic. Here are a few fairly long running shows and podcasts that are absolutely crushing it right now. In Pod We Trust: I’ve been listening to “Welcome to Night Vale” since around 2012 and have been obsessed with it ever since. Creators Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor have such a unique sensibility and storytelling rhythm that the show feels almost like it was designed just for me. It follows Cecil Palmer, the host of a radio show in the fictional town of Night Vale, where paranormal and downright insane events happen so often, they have become mundane. With over 200 episodes in the can across a decade, it can be hard to keep the momentum of the massively layered and strange story they’re telling from feeling a little stagnant. Starting around September of last year with the episode, “The Nearly Infinite Lives of Frank Chen,” it seems like “Night Vale” has gotten its groove back with an almost flawless run of stories. While I would still recommend starting from the very beginning, “Welcome to Night Vale” is the perfect podcast for people who miss “The X-Files,” “Gravity Falls” and “Twin Peaks.” Now Streaming There’s just not enough room to talk about all the fairly long-running shows having stellar seasons while existing in the twilight of their tenure. Season four

(out of an announced five) of “Stranger Things” is easily the best since the first one, with episode four possibly being the best of the entire series. I don’t know about you, but I will never hear “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush the same way again. The first half of the final season of “Better Caul Saul” is also expertly ratcheting up the tension as we build to the final six episodes, due on July 11. Rhea Seehorn is giving such an astounding performance as Kim Wexler that I hope we get an endless amount of her across our screens in the future. Meanwhile, “The Walking Dead” comes back with its final eight episodes sometime later this year after a stellar 11th season. “Peaky Blinders” has been getting more and more intense and “Atlanta’s” penultimate third season was an absolute banger. Look at how many people used to talk about “Game of Thrones” and then look at how the cultural conversation completely disappeared after the final episode. With the insanely massive amount of televisual content to choose from, a show needs to actually care about its ending, so when the complete series is all together on a streaming service and ready to be binged, it satisfies a public that hasn’t been very impressed with a series finale in a while. Hopefully, that’s the way things keep trending because no one wants another “Dexter” on their hands.

ot showers and a comfortable bed. That’s my idea of camping—so the idea of bikepacking has never been my thing. I see those bikepackers loaded down with all their gear and I wonder how they do it. I figure the first hill above a 4% grade and I would turn around. But what if I could bike from spot to spot but stay at hotels and eat at restaurants instead? Now that sounds more my style. Oregon is packed full of gravel credit card tours. That just means instead of carrying a tent, bedding and all the cooking stuff, you are planning on staying at a hotel and eating out. Where to go? I recommend you start with a two-day adventure: You bike to a destination, stay the night and then bike back the next day. Here are two options: Route: The Bishop Starts: Tumalo Reservoir Stay over: Suttle Lodge and Boathouse (east of Sisters) Details: 97 miles and 6,600 feet of climbing (Day 1 is 60 miles) This route is named after the Bend local bike legend Serena Gordon Bishop, who can easily polish this off in a day. But don’t kid yourself; taking two days still requires serious effort. It starts at Tumalo Reservoir and takes you to Suttle Lodge where you can glamp in one of the cabins or splurge and stay at the hotel. The hotel offers up lakeside dining which is magical on a sunny evening.

Andrew Murray cruises on the Bishop Route.

The route is dreamy and remote and includes the Skyline Forest, Suttle Lake and Camp Sherman. You’ll be amazed by the booming views of the surrounding mountains. If you didn’t do the math, the second day is shorter, but we sure haven’t had anyone complain about that! All the details are in the route guide from Dirty Freehub:

dirtyfreehub.org/adventure/oregon-x/bishop

Route: Mitch and Walt Starts: Ochoco Ranger Station east of Prineville Stay over: The town of Mitchell at the Spok’n Hostel Details: 63 miles and 5,500 feet of gain (day 1 is 28 miles) This route includes two days of scenic riding through the Ochocos. You’ll overnight at the Spok’n Hostel, a place that pampers tired cyclists—many who stop in while they are crossing the U.S. on the TransAmerica Trail bike route. And for a fun and easy way to refuel, head over to the Tiger Town Brewery in downtown Mitchell. All the details are in the route guide from Dirty Freehub: dirtyfreehub.org/adventure/ oregon-x/mitch-walt/

Couple of things to consider: • Pack really light. Just enough clothes to hang out at camp at night and a spare pair of bike shorts for day two.

• Think through power cords to re-juice devices. • Call the hotel so you are clear on the food they can provide for dinner, breakfast and for riding the next day. • Figure out how to carry your gear or consider mailing a package to the hotel with clothes and good bike food. For bike bags, you’ll find a million creative solutions and opinions on any bikepacking forum. • Do a practice day ride with all your gear. You’ll quickly figure out what you like and don’t like. • Consider where you park your car. Are you OK with leaving it there? • Study your route: Look closely at the elevation profiles so you know how much climbing you have each day. And look at logical places to punch out should you want to cut your distance. • Check on cell coverage and consider carrying an emergency device. • Buddy up: ride with other people and give the folks back home all your details. • Check and recheck your bike; consider hauling it into your favorite bike shop for a quick once over. Once you have mastered the two-day routes, consider longer variations. At Dirty Freehub, we have provided all the details for bikepacking routes in the Wallowas, Steens Mountains, Owyhees and Siskiyou Mountains, which can be found at dirtyfreehub.org/bikepacking/.

t’s that time of year again to bust out the boots and blue jeans, because “The Biggest Little Show in the World” returns! The Sisters Rodeo is traditionally held during the second week of June, with 2022 being no exception. Rodeo events kick off June 8 and go until Sunday, June 12. Dating back to the 1940s, the Sisters Rodeo has always been a staple of different eras’ rodeo circuits. At its beginning the show offered up a $500 purse for champions, which rivaled the winnings of bigger shows in the area at the time (hence the nickname of Biggest Little Show in the World). Although the rodeo would change hands of ownership and face potentially show-ending financial struggles at times, the people of Sisters always came together to ensure that the rodeo would prevail. The audacious spirit of the town’s population and unique setting of the venue make the Sisters Rodeo one of the staple events for professionals of the Columbia River Circuit in modern times. During the second week of June there is no rodeo in the country that offers as big of a purse as Sisters, and in the month of June the rodeo has the second-largest purse. The community surrounding the rodeo is the true highlight. The rodeo’s association has around 200 members and donates to local charities, student scholarships and other nonprofits. Beyond the rodeo there is a parade on Saturday that marches through Sisters’ western-themed downtown. A Buckaroo Breakfast is also held Sunday to fill the bellies of the community and rodeo-goers alike. Events and times vary so be sure to check out the Sisters Rodeo website for further information.

THIS SUMMER

I decided to use a little-known cave near Bend to set up nets for capturing bats, but found it far easier to capture bats hibernating in the cave than to trap them. For 10 years I banded bats in several caves near Bend, but in that one specific cave I banded a Townsend’s big-eared male who came back to that cave to spend the winter for 10 years. Each year I’d enter the cave with my big flashlight, and each year—for 10 years straight— I’d find my old pal sleeping in almost the same spot. There was no need to wake him up; I just got as close as I dared to look him over for scars or signs of problems, leave him as he was, and depart. On the 11th year I found him dead on the floor of his winter bedroom. Someone had shot him. Yes, I cried at the loss and felt so badly about the bat and the poor person who killed him, wondering “why,” and still do. One of the best “gems” I ever got from banding bats came to me 20 years after we quit the project. I received a call from the biologist of the Fort Rock District of the Deschutes National Forest with a question: “Hey Jim, are you still banding bats? The reason I’m asking is I found a banded bat today out in ‘suchand-such’ cave.” He then gave me the number, which turned out to be a Little brown bat I had banded 20 years earlier. If you would like to place a bat roost on your home or outbuilding, send me a note at jimnaturalist@gmail.com and I’ll send you the plans for making one. Ain’t Life grand?!

f you haven’t spent time with bats, you’ve missed out knowing some very lovely and helpful animals that share this beautiful old Earth with us…our Home away from Home. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Central Oregon’s bats way back in the early ‘50s when I met up with one of our wonderful epidemiologists (scientists who keep an eye on diseases transmitted to humans through wildlife). The Bend paper had run an edition with a story on the front page about closing Brothers School because of a rabid coyote dying in the schoolyard. I was reading the story while eating my supper in Polly’s Cafe—where I ate my breakfast, lunch and supper—and remarked to the guy seated next to me that a coyote with rabies had caused the closing of Brothers School. “Oh, that wasn’t rabies,” he replied, “that was 1080, a poison used to kill coyotes.” That remark, and the conversation that followed were what got me deeper into Oregon’s wildlife almost 80 years ago. The guy introduced himself to me, stating he was studying rabies, and would soon be capturing bats from our caves to check for rabies. At that moment any possibility of our forming a friendship vanished. “No, you’re not!” I said, very forcefully. “We don’t have enough bats to play that game with!” And that, dear reader, started a discussion that neither of us would ever forget. He argued that it was vital to know the rabies situation in our bats, and I argued that if I found a dead bat he would be the first to know, but he was not going to collect any from our

Craft v. Commercial

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JUNE 09, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

A new awareness campaign looks to help cannabis consumers identify sun-grown producers that adhere to organic cannabis farming practices By Josh Jardine

n the before times, prior to the establishment of Oregon’s Adult Use recreational cannabis program, the list of things to consider when purchasing weed was fairly short, including but not limited to: “Is it, like, chronic?” “How much?” and “How late from the time my dealer says they will arrive will they actually show up?” “Been two hours. I’ll try his beeper again” sighed many a stood-up stoner. Simpler times… When buying cannabis now, questions primarily concern potency, terpene content and if the product/strain will deliver on your intended outcomes. But for many, the same questions they ask when making other purchases are being asked about their cannabis, often involving how it was produced. Cannabis is an agricultural crop, and like all cultivated crops, is generally produced in two forms: small scale sungrown “Craft” and large-scale indoor “Commercial.” As cannabis continues its transition from “illegal evil drug comin’ for your children, booga booga” to “taxed and regulated commodity helping fund schools and police departments, ka-ching,” the sector of consumers who seek out craft cannabis is growing—not simply for the quality, but for the shared beliefs in ecological stewardship and supporting small businesses. Trigger warning: Whenever one is discussing the merits of sun-grown cannabis it is often framed as a contest between that and indoor, instead of a comparison. I know indoor growers can produce remarkable, award-winning flowers, which I regularly enjoy very much. So, while “sun-grown versus indoor” is a false equivalence, “craft compared to commercial” is not. A new public education and awareness campaign looks to help cannabis consumers identify sun-grown producers that adhere to certain organic cannabis farming practices and ideals. “Weed Like Change,” a name which clearly someone signed off on while high AF, is a coalition including dispensaries, producers, nonprofits and “Sun+Earth” certified farms and brands. Sun+Earth is a two-years-young nonprofit that promotes and certifies growers producing sun-grown cannabis

using regenerative organic soil practices, and who fairly compensate their workers. Their 50-plus small craft cannabis farms, primarily in southern California and southern Oregon, with a few in Washington, are spotlighted by “Weed Like Change” to amplify the value of environmental impacts of cannabis produced this way. The farms, all sun grown, have a carbon footprint of 1/25th that of an indoor grow, and forgoe herbicides, synthetic pesticides and fertilizers for compost teas, soil inoculants and nitrogen- fixing cover crops. Some of my favorite flowers lately have been from small craft sun-grown farms, providing outstanding taste, potency, bag appeal and high terpene contents. I’ve written of my love for Green Source Gardens, who arguably are Oregon’s foremost regenerative organic soil cannabis growers, as well as members of the Weed Like Change campaign. They offered up some strains that delivered soaring highs, subterranean chilled out lows, with mouth-watering terpene levels. Also great? Their lower production costs result in wallet-friendly prices. Other Oregon members include Luminous Botanicals, East Fork Cultivars, Groundworks Industries—owners of Serra, Farma and Electric Lettuce, Somewhere Dispensary, Phoenix Rising, and several other farms. They are joined by Brother David’s, a nonprofit cannabis brand whose 100% of proceeds are dedicated to supporting small cannabis farms. Technology has developed grow systems utilizing high intensity, low energy LEDS and more efficient HVAC systems for indoor growers, offering a smaller carbon footprint than traditional indoor grow systems using massively inefficient rows of 1000 watt lights and HVAC. Reducing our carbon footprint involves numerous small changes and choices. The choice to support small sun-grown craft cannabis is one of the easiest.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In August 2021, a Canadian man named Jerry Knott bought a ticket for a lottery. He stuffed it in his wallet and lost track of it. Two months later, he found it again and checked to see its status. Surprise! It was a winner. His prize was $20 million. I propose we make him your role model for now, my fellow Crabs. Let’s all be alert for assets we may have forgotten and neglected. Let’s be on the lookout for potentially valuable resources that are ripe for our attention.

BEST THE BOOM TOWN OF

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here’s a message I hope you will deliver to the Universe sometime soon: “Dear Life: I declare myself open and ready to receive miracles, uplifting news, fun breakthroughs, smart love, and unexpected blessings. I hope to be able to give my special gifts in new and imaginative ways. I am also eager for useful tips on how to express my dark side with beauty and grace. One more perk I hope you will provide, dear Life: Teach me how to be buoyantly creative and sensitively aggressive in asking for exactly what I need.”

people in parts of Old Europe felt anxiety about the Summer Solstice. The sun reached its highest point in the sky at that time, and from then on would descend, bringing shorter and shorter days with less and less light. Apprehensive souls staged an antidote: the festival of Midsummer. They burned great bonfires all through the night. They stayed awake till morning, partying and dancing and having sex. Author Jeanette Winterson expresses appreciation for this holiday. “Call it a wild perversity or a wild optimism,” she writes, “but our ancestors were right to celebrate what they feared.” Winterson fantasizes about creating a comparable ceremony for her fears: “a ritual burning of what is coward in me, what is lost in me. Let the light in before it is too late.” I invite you to do something like this yourself, Leo.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author Elizabeth McCracken says, “I don’t dream of someone who understands me immediately, who seems to have known me my entire life.” What’s more meaningful to her is an ally who is curious, who has “a willingness for research.” She continues, “I want someone keen to learn my own strange organization, amazed at what’s revealed; someone who asks, ‘and then what, and then what?’” I hope you will enjoy at least one connection like that in the coming months, Virgo. I expect and predict it. Make it your specialty! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran author Stig Dagerman said that when he was sad as a child, his mother kissed him until his mood lightened. When he was older and sad, his mama said, “Sit down at your desk and write a letter to yourself. A long and beautiful letter.” This would be a good task for you right now, Libra. Whatever mood you are in, I invite you to write a long and beautiful letter to yourself. I further recommend that you carry out the same ritual once every six weeks for the next nine months. This will be a phase of your life when it’s extra crucial that you express soulful tenderness toward your deep self on a regular basis. You may be amazed at how inspirational and transformative these communications will be. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sometimes, the arrival of a peculiar event in your life is a good sign. It may mean that Fate has sent an intervention to disrupt a boring phase of inertia or a habit-bound grind. An unexpected twist in the plot may signal a divine refreshment. It could be a favorable omen announcing a helpful prod that’s different from what you imagined you needed. I suspect that an experience or two fitting this description will soon materialize in your life story. Be alert for them. Promise yourself you’ll be receptive to their unexpected directives.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarius author Edna O’Brien long ago shed the strict Catholic faith in which she was raised. But she still harbors spiritual feelings colored by her tradition. She says, “Ideally, I’d like to spend two evenings a week talking to [novelist] Marcel Proust and another conversing with the Holy Ghost.” I suspect a similar balance of influences will be healthy for you in the days ahead, Sagittarius. My advice is to connect with an inspiration you drew sustenance from while growing up. Spend time equal time consorting with deep-feeling smart people who will stimulate you to rearrange the contents of your rational mind. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’ve composed a message for you to deliver to your best allies. It will help you be clear about the nature of your energy exchanges. Say something like this: “I promise to act primarily out of love in my dealings with you, and I ask you to do the same with me. Please don’t help me or give me things unless they are offered with deep affection. Let’s phase out favors that are bestowed out of obligation or with the expectation of a favor in return. Let’s purge manipulativeness from our dynamic. Let’s agree to provide each other with unconditional support.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author Lauren Collins tells us, “Bilinguals overwhelmingly report that they feel like different people in different languages. It is often assumed that the mother tongue is the language of the true self. But if first languages are reservoirs of emotion, second languages can be rivers undammed, freeing their speakers to ride different currents.” I bring these thoughts to your attention, Aquarius, because the next 12 months will be an excellent time for you to begin becoming bilingual or else to deepen your fluency in a second language. And if you’re not ready to do that, I encourage you to enhance your language skills in other ways. Build your vocabulary, for instance. Practice speaking more precisely. Say what you mean and mean what you say 95 percent of the time. Life will bring you good fortune if you boost your respect for the way you use language.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean-born Robert Evans has been an amateur astronomer since he was 18. Though he has never been paid for his work and has mostly used modest telescopes, he holds the world record for discovering supernovas—42. These days, at age 85, he’s still scanning the skies with a 12-inch telescope on his back porch. Let’s make him your role model for the coming months. I have faith you can achieve meaningful success even if you are a layperson without massive funding. PS: Keep in mind that “amateur” comes from the Latin word for “lover.” Here’s the dictionary’s main definition: “a person who engages in a study, sport, or other activity for pleasure rather than for financial benefit or professional reasons.” ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The whole point for me is to change as much as possible,” says Aries actor Keira Knightley. What?! Is she serious? Her number one aspiration is to keep transforming and transforming and transforming? I guess I believe her. It’s not an entirely unexpected manifesto coming from an Aries person. But I must say: Her extra bold approach to life requires maximum resilience and resourcefulness. If you think that such an attitude might be fun to try, the coming weeks will be one of the best times ever to experiment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus poet May Sarton relished “the sacramentalization of the ordinary.” What a wonderfully Taurean attitude! There is no sign of the zodiac better able than you Bulls to find holiness in mundane events and to evoke divine joy from simple pleasures. I predict this specialty of yours will bloom in its full magnificence during the coming weeks. You will be even more skillful than usual in expressing it, and the people you encounter will derive exceptional benefits from your superpower.

UNDERSTANDING INTIMACY: Should We Open Our Marriage?

By Dr. Jane Guyn

Considering consensual non-monogamy

Dear Considering, A sexless marriage is incredibly challenging for many people. Some people even use the phrase “soul crushing” to describe how they feel about it. People often ask me about opening their sexless relationships as a way to solve the problem—outsourcing physical intimacy. Consensual (or ethical) non-monogamy involves making an agreement to see other people while still married or in a commited long-term relationship. Sometimes opening a relationship looks like “swinging” or “lifestyling.” Swinging is typically defined as sex without emotional connection. Sometimes consensual non-monogamy looks like polyamory, which is typically defined as sex within a loving extramarital relationship. Couples who successfully navigate these experiences are excellent communicators with an ability to handle the strong emotions that invariably arise. Consensual non-monogamy is a choice that works best for couples who have lots of sexual energy between them—almost like they have so much sexual connection that it’s overflowing to others. Consensual non-monogamy can also work well in situations where one person is unable to be sexually involved for specific reasons that are outside of their direct control but where they support the partner’s need for physical intimacy. So, back to your question. For many people in sexless relationships, communication about sex isn’t working well. There are lots of reasons for this, but in general, sex problems often include hurt feelings and misunderstandings. You may be experiencing feelings of scarcity, resentment, rejection and abandonment. Your partner may be experiencing feelings of guilt, shame and inadequacy and hurt. We like to think that sexual connection with another person can be just sex. For some people this works. But, for many people, when you start connecting physically with someone else, there’s a lot more than mechanical sex in the mix. In a situation like yours,

when you feel a lack of sexual acceptance and flow, a new sexual partnership can be very challenging to your primary relationship. Your new sexual partner is now sharing something with you that you’ve longed for over days, weeks, months and even years. The experience of receiving pleasure from another person can be profound. You might feel like your wife could give you sex, but just won’t. This is particularly difficult to accept. A willing partner can feel like a candy store with the front door left wide open. It can feel too tempting to resist going all in—past the “just sex” and into a relationship that’s completely compelling. It might be very difficult for your sexless marriage to compete with the passion and connection of the new relationship. New Relationship Energy or NRE is very powerful for people in consensual non-monogamous relationships even when they’re completely happy with their primary sexual situation. When you’re in a sexless marriage, it can be explosive. So, before you open your marriage, I suggest that you take a deep dive into what’s happening in your current relationship. Make every effort to identify and remove barriers to your connection as a couple. I hope that you’re seeking the support of a therapist, counselor or coach who specializes in sexual concerns so you’re able to navigate this process gently. You may be surprised that there are specific things in your relationship that could be causing the challenge in intimacy you’re facing now. We think of sex problems as one big mountain of “it doesn’t work” when in fact, it’s often a series of small hills that can be navigated. There are so many things you might like to explore—releasing shame, opening to what you really want and sharing that together. Maybe you’ve already exhausted these possibilities and your sex life remains off track. I still suggest that you proceed with extreme caution before venturing into the unknown waters of consensual non-monogamy until you understand what’s really happening. Xoxo, Dr. Jane —Dr. Jane Guyn (she/her) is a well-known relationship coach who received her Ph.D. in Human Sexuality and is trained as a Professional Sex Coach and Core Energy Course.

Dear Dr. Jane, My wife and I have had problems with intimacy for years. At this point, we’re pretty much sexless. I think the last time we made love was before Thanksgiving. What do you think about us opening our marriage to fix the sex problem? She really doesn’t want anything to do with me sexually, but we still love each other. From, Considering Consensual Non-monogamy

Pricing Your Home to Sell

How to get it right in a challenging market few months ago. So, what’s the best path forward? There are a few things you can do to help ensure you list your home at a price that reflects the market and will bring buyers to your door. Work with an experienced seller’s agent. Hire a licensed, experienced real estate professional who knows your market, will provide a complete market analysis, and be willing to do the little fixes, cleaning and staging before your property goes on the market. Get a comprehensive market analysis, or CMA. In this analysis there should be a study comparing your home’s location, condition, size, year built and other important specs to other properties that are currently for sale, pending or recently sold. Write a contingency plan with your broker. A tried-and-true strategy is writing a contingency plan that states the seller and broker will reassess at stated time intervals and reduce the price accordingly if an offer has not been accepted. This puts a plan in place from the beginning before emotions may affect your decision-making process. Clean your home inside and out. We get one shot at a first impression. Especially with buyers seeing properties the first time in photos online, it is essential to have your home “show ready.” De-clutter, clear off counters, shelves, pack it up and pack it out. Bottom line? Experience doesn’t cost, it pays! With an experienced seller’s agent, you can get your home priced correctly for the current market.

eciding to sell your home can be exciting, stressful and confusing, especially when it comes to the list price. You might be cashing out on equity for retirement, downsizing, upsizing or looking for land. Whatever your situation, you want to be sure you are getting the best return on your biggest investment: your home. There are many factors that go into a smartly priced home. It’s not as easy as Zillow might make you think. Getting the list price correct right out of the gate is crucial to a successful sale in this complicated market, and the calculus can be complex. Why is getting it right so important? When a home is not priced correctly, it may sit on the market longer than anticipated and in a sense, become stale. This may motivate the seller to reduce the price hoping to generate renewed interest. While this strategy can have its benefits, it can also signal to consumers and real estate professionals that the seller is getting motivated and maybe the property has inherent issues that are affecting its salability. This can have a negative impact on the final selling price. As the market is shifting, we are inevitably seeing more price reductions. According to the MLS, price reductions of local residential listings increased by 43% in May, with an average increase in price reductions at 27% from January to May of this year. Making the price determination even more complicated are interest rates. Interest rates have nearly doubled since the pandemic started and it is impacting buyers’ budgets. They may be able to afford less than they could a
