The Sustainability Issue “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” - Abolitionist Theodore Parker In the 19th Century, Americans engaged in a Civil War over the question of whether slavery should be abolished. Fifteen states in our nation allowed slaves in 1860—and it’s fair to say that a good portion of the people who lived in those states supported that. Today, being pro-slavery is equated with being “on the wrong side of history”—a phrase bandied about in political circles on both the right and left. When we—and other readers—look back at our paper 10, 20 or even 50 years from now, we aim to be on the right side of history as it pertains to human-caused climate change. Many have argued, sometimes compellingly, that climate change has been going on for millennia, and that we, as humans, can do little to impact it. But read this week’s opinion piece for a primer on how humans can—and did—band together to stem the tide of one enormous human-caused climate problem in many of our lifetimes. We believe that when there’s a question of whether something could harm the planet, we should err on the side of doing the things necessary to mitigate that question. That’s called being on the right side of history. Whether it’s tackling plastic consumption, transportation, heating and cooling, or a host of other issues related to human-caused climate change, it’s clear we can do more than we’re doing now. We humbly submit this issue as a primer on just some of the issues you can plug into locally. Happy Earth Day!

A cyclist waits to cross at the busy intersection of Franklin and Third Street April 16. Even factoring in the amount of food the typical cyclist has to eat to fuel a ride, riding a bicycle for transportation puts 10 times less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, compared to driving, according to the European Cyclists’ Federation. That footprint becomes even less when cyclists transition to a more plant-based diet.

Humans caused—and then fixed—a climate threat under a Republican president. We can do it again

ach year, we dedicate the issue that falls on Earth Day to examining issues around sustainability and the environment. The notion of sustainability is often thought of as a realm only visited by progressives— environmentalists waving a partisan banner in favor of going green for going green’s sake. But discussions of sustainability and the human impact on the climate didn’t begin in the 21st century. In fact, the work of two scientists in the 1970s—Mario Molina and Frank Sherwood Rowland—gave rise to a worldwide movement that saw the citizens of Earth taking action on a human-caused problem that stood to threaten the health of billions. In 1973, the two University of California-Irvine chemists began their work, examining the effect that chlorofluorocarbons were having on the depletion of the ozone layer. The scientists faced plenty of doubt in the beginning. Some fellow scientists refused to mingle with them because of their controversial hypothesis. Aerosol industry leaders called their findings “science fiction.” But Molina and Rowland persisted, gaining funding from Congress to continue studying the problem. The National Academy of Sciences confirmed the chemists’ hypothesis. Still, chemical industry groups refuted the science, knowing that the findings stood to impact an entire industry’s bottom line. In 1975, before much of the rest of the world woke up to the ozone threat, Oregon became the first state to pass a ban on CFCs—a ban that went into effect in 1977. At that time, some Oregon retailers complained that the ban was going to cost them thousands, due to having now-banned inventory. But in the face of economic and industry pressures, Oregon persisted in being at the forefront of a movement that would eventually involve 197 nations of the world. In August 1987, world leaders came together in Montreal to establish the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. Collectively, the nations of the world would phase out CFCs. In the U.S., the treaty was championed by President Ronald Reagan—a conservative whose administration, at first, dismissed the ozone layer problem. One administration official got major flak for telling people to simply wear hats to avoid the increased skin cancer danger from that hole in the ozone layer. Ironically, Reagan had had a cancerous growth

removed from his nose around the time the studies were released. Reagan isn’t seen as an “environmental president,” but under his leadership, we joined the countries of the world in solving a global problem. The U.S. Senate ratified the treaty without a single “no” vote. Politics in the 1980s, when Reagan was president, were definitely partisan. Perhaps they are not as polarized as they are now—but it’s a beacon of hope in the modern era, to recall how politicians from both sides of the aisle came together. Some past skeptics came around by adopting the notion of thinking that if there was the possibility of a problem, humans should do what they could to close the window on that possibility. In other words, even the skeptics didn’t see value in continuing with the status quo when there was the possibility that their inaction would endanger the planet. Scientists now expect the ozone hole to be closed by the year 2060. Molina and Rowland were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1995. Today, the CFCs once used as refrigerants have been replaced by hydrofluorocarbons, which don’t deplete the ozone layer. But HFCS are greenhouse gases that are thought to be 12,000 times more damaging than carbon dioxide. Thanks to ongoing efforts that began in Montreal, air conditioning manufacturers have signed on to use alternatives to HFCs. In 2015, the Obama administration issued regulations to phase out HFCs. Alas, the Trump administration announced in 2018 it would not enforce those regulations. For that, Oregon, California and a total of 11 states sued the Environmental Protection Agency in 2018. Once upon a time, protecting the health and safety of the planet was not a partisan issue. Once upon a time, science rose above the din of industry groups clamoring to refute their findings in the name of economic progress. Once upon a time, the simple possibility of a threat to human health was enough to take action. And now, as it was in 1975, Oregon remains among the states at the forefront of environmental regulation. So in honor of Earth Day, when someone tells you that Oregon’s proposal to ban plastic bags or its move to go coal-free over coming decades are actions that go too far, give them a history lesson. On April 10, PBS released a new documentary, “Ozone Hole: How We Saved the Planet.” It’s well worth a watch

NEW RENT CONTROL

As a longtime landlord, I have to say that the rent control portion SB 608 is fair to landlords. Capping the rent increase to around 7 percent to 10 percent gives the landlord a very good return on their investment. They are lucky to own rental property in such a booming market. The restrictions to “no cause” evictions, however, are not fair to landlords and would discourage me from ever owning rental property in Oregon. For example, the bill makes it very difficult for an owner to ever sell the property, with no regard to the owner’s needs or circumstances. In order to sell rental property, the seller must first get a legally-binding, accepted offer from a buyer. Then the seller can give 90-day notice to the tenant. The sale would complete after the tenant leaves the property. My experience is that it would be exceedingly difficult to find a buyer willing to wait more than 90 days before completing the transaction. Additionally, the buyer must be planning to move into the unit upon purchase. Information is scarce but my information on this comes from the Multifamily NW website. The eviction protections in this bill are essentially a wolf-in-sheep’s clothing. The

protections are being being sold as preventing an eviction solely because the landlord wants to raise the rent. If that is the desire, simply make it illegal for the landlord to list the rental for a higher rent following a “no-cause” eviction. Penalty would be three months’ rent, payable to the former tenant. With this simple change, a tenant who feels unjustly evicted can simply scan the current rental listings looking for their former residence. If they find the listing at a higher rent, they can report it and will receive three months’ rent in return for their forced eviction. The government really doesn’t need to get into regulating how and when the property can be sold. As a former tenant, I’ve been evicted twice where my landlord wanted to sell the house. I understand the need for the owner to sell the property and move on. I would have appreciated a relocation fee for my troubles. —Paul Miller

Regarding your Restaurant Guide 2019, I just gotta say, El Sancho is deserving of any and all accolades they receive. Hail to the Source for going out on a culinary limb, going beyond fine dining and choosing El Sancho as Restaurant of the Year. They do everything right—food, service, business model, philosophy of community. Everything I have ever eaten there has made me smile inside and out. And I eat there a lot. The staff is incredible. From Joel and Jon to each and every one who participates in the venture, it is clear that doing what they do, and doing it well, is very important to them. I feel like part of the family the minute I walk in the door. And one more thing, I was pretty skeptical that a hoagie sandwich shop could be the best new food truck of the year. And then I had a sandwich at Hogan’s Hoagie Stop. I am no longer skeptical. Kudos to the Source for spotting the gustatory genius of the place! —Julie Naslund

Julie: Dang it, I’m craving both those places again now. Thanks for teaching me a new word: “gustatory,” which, according to Google Books, reached peak usage in roughly 1910. (Meaning: concerned with tasting or the sense of taste.) Come on in for your gift card to Palate! —Nicole Vulcan

Have you ever imagined how the climate story will be written in 2050? Will it be from a point of view of achievement or despair? Those who attended Osher Lifelong Learning Institute’s excellent program on climate this month learned that U.S. government scientists knew the risk of burning fossil fuels as early as 1965 and communicated it to the president at that time. Since then scientists from both academia and government have continued to highlight this concern right up to the present day. Many people listened over the years and now we see a heartening level of activity addressing the drivers and effects of global warming at local, county and state levels. Bend is developing its Climate Action Plan. Oregon is likely to pass the Clean Energy Jobs bill that finally puts the state on a path to greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Individuals are making decisions to limit their carbon footprint and businesses are responding to customer demands to become authentically green. Similar action is happening across the U.S. and beyond. And yet – emissions continue to rise at an accelerating rate around the world. We are not on target to reduce emissions to a level that would keep temperature increases to less than 2 degrees Celsius since the beginning of the industrial revolution. The environmental and social reality of a world that exceeds 2 degrees Celsius is an unhappy scenario to contemplate. A fundamental role of government is to address problems that cannot be addressed in piecemeal fashion, and climate change is surely one of those problems. What is missing in the U.S. is effective policy at the national level to move the economy away from

fossil fuels and towards renewable, non-carbon emitting fuels within the small window of time between now and mid-century. While so far our government has been unable to create effective policy on climate, today we have the opportunity to travel in the right direction. Public opinion by solid majorities in both parties supports robust action, and scientific understanding of the dynamics of global warming continues to grow. Fossil fuel companies can see their future. To benefit from this politically open moment, voters need to pressure our elected members of Congress, Representative Walden and Senators Wyden and Merkley, to develop climate policies that will make a meaningful difference. A promising initiative is the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (HR 763) currently on the floor of the U.S. House and soon to be introduced into the Senate. This bipartisan bill puts a fee on carbon emissions paid for by the owners of fossil fuels right when the fuels enter our economy. The money collected is then distributed equally to American households every month to cover price increases in energy. The bill also incentivizes businesses to switch to renewables to avoid the impact of the carbon fee. This policy is projected to reduce U.S. emissions by 90 percent from a 2016 baseline by 2050. While not enough to solve our climate problem singlehandedly, it is a huge push in the right direction and restores the U.S. to a leadership role in the global community. If we enact this legislation, we may give our children the chance to write the climate story in 2050 as a unique global achievement and one that preserved their right to a healthy, life-sustaining planetary environment. — Helen Seidler, Bend Citizens’ Climate Lobby co-lead

I hope your politicians in Bend handle the scooter situation better than the politicians have here in San Diego. I think we have more than 25,000 dockless scooters, and they just keep coming. It is a nightmare, ESPECIALLY for pedestrians and the disabled. Local doctors estimate between four and six scooter injuries per DAY (probably much higher), and we had our second scooter death here in San Diego County on March 15. Yet we STILL have no regulations, and the ones that our mayor has proposed are ridiculous! There are already four personal injury cases filed against the City of San Diego for mishandling the scooter situation. Those settlements come out of taxpayer pockets. In addition, Disability Rights California filed a class action lawsuit in January against the city of San Diego and three E-Scooter companies due to their inability to maintain sidewalk accessibility for the disabled. This will probably be a big problem for you guys too. https://www.disabilityrightsca.org/cases/ montoya-et-al-v-bird-rides-inc-et-al I truly hope things turn out better for you than us. If not, there will unfortunately be a lot of scooter injuries and accidents to write about in the coming months/years. —Karen Millhouse

PERS Plan Would Limit Tax Rebates, Affect School Retirement Benefits Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has released her long-awaited plan to tackle the state’s financially troubled public pension system. The governor’s proposal, made public Friday, includes a long list of ideas to raise around $3.3 billion over the next 16 years to shield Oregon schools from most of the rate hikes facing Oregon public employers. State leaders are trying to dig their way out of a pension debt now estimated at nearly $27 billion. The plan includes proposals that could affect taxpayers, the business community and the state’s 70,000 school employees. Among other things, it calls for capping next year’s “kicker” income tax rebate at $100 — a move that would divert up to $500 million from taxpayers into the PERS school rescue fund. —Jeff Mapes OPB

Slave states? Political strife? Popular vote bill debate heats up Debate about national elections reform on the Senate floor was hijacked Tuesday when Sen. Dennis Linthicum, R-Klamath Falls, brought up the political treatment of slaves in the 1700s. After state Sens. James Manning, D-Eugene, and Lew Frederick, D-Portland, talked about the historical disenfranchisement black people experienced in part by a federal “three-fifths” compromise (which counted slaves as three-fifths of a person), Linthicum opined an unusual notion that the compromise was intended to limit the power of slave states, rather than bolster it. Oregon’s Senate was voting April 9 on a bill that would add Oregon in a compact with other states to give their electoral college votes to the winner of the national popular vote. The idea is to ensure that a presidential candidate could not be elected while winning fewer votes than his or her competitor. — Aubrey Wieber Portland Tribune/Oregon Capital Bureau

Transportation, heating and cooling are some of the largest contributors to air pollution. Here’s what some local entities are doing to resize their carbon footprint By Chris Miller

Ross Chandler

the homeowners paying under $10 a month for power in the summer and under $100 in the winter, the Oregonlive story said.

The exterior of the award-winning "Desert Rain" house designed by architect Al Tozer and built by Timberline Construction of Bend.

ccording to the Environmental Protection Agency, transportation and the burning of fossil fuels to heat and cool our homes and businesses are some of the biggest contributors to air pollution in the U.S. Local builders, schools and governments are taking aim at reducing their carbon footprints—and some are winning awards while doing it. Green Homes in Central Oregon In 2014, Timberline Construction of Bend was the Green Builder Media’s Grand Overall Winner with its “Desert Rain” project. The house, located in the Old Bend neighborhood, was the first residential project in the U.S. to meet the rigorous requirements of the Living Building Challenge—which are buildings that generate more energy than they use, capture and treat all water on site, and are made using healthy materials—according to the International Living Future Institute website. To capture all the water onsite— because Bend only receives an average of 9 inches of rain per year—the build required enough roof area and storage capacity to supply eight people with water, and wastewater needed to be managed onsite. Since the home is on City sewer, the homeowners had a wetland constructed that handles grey water—waste water from kitchen appliances, sinks and baths—and a series of vacuum-flush toilets, central composter and a solar evaporator for solid waste.

James Fagan, Timberline’s founder and owner, said that although the company isn’t currently working on any projects to the sustainability level of “Desert Rain,” he encourages clients to build as many green builds into their homes as possible. Fagan also said that more and more people are knowledgeable and interested in green building, but government needs to support sustainability with incentives and tax breaks. Fagan recommended people who don’t have the budget to do a project like “Desert Rain” to do an evaluation with Energy Trust of Oregon and at least tighten up the building envelope. Fagan also said light emitting diode (LED) lighting is an inexpensive, big energy saver. “We have all the technology which is being improved all the time as well,” Fagan said about going green. “I try to encourage folks to do something. Everyone can’t do “Desert Rain” but we can all work toward that. I live in a small remodeled mill house and added features that make us net zero energy. It can be done.” Last year, architects from Bend’s Shelter Studio won Green Builder Magazine’s Home of the Year award for the design for the “Rowe Toogood Residence” on the Deschutes River. According to a story on Oregonlive, the Energy Trust of Oregon gave the home an energy performance rating of 8 out of 10. The home has 24 solar panels, LED lighting and Energy Star appliances. Extra insulation and other energy-cutting measures have

Net zero may sound good, but what does it cost? According to the Zero Energy Project, a nonprofit educational organization in Bend whose goal is to help homebuyers, builders, designers and real estate professionals take meaningful steps toward radically reducing carbon emissions and energy bills by building zero net energy homes and near zero energy homes, the cost is not that much. The organization says even when zero-energy homes cost 5 to 10 percent more to build than a comparable home, they will cost less to own. Zero Energy Project has strategies for building affordable zero-energy homes. According to ZEP, the average new home in the U.S. is around 2,400 square feet. One way to offset the cost of zero-energy features is to make the home smaller. For example, if the home was 300 feet smaller it would save about $45,000—enough to pay for the entire up-front costs for a zero-energy home, ZEP wrote. Taking advantages of tax credits, cost consciousness when selecting finishes, using solar energy and looking for banks that offer Energy Efficient Mortgages are other ways to save when thinking about going green, according to ZEP. Currently at the federal level, there is a 30 percent renewable energy tax credit for things like geothermal, solar and small wind turbines in service by the end of the year. The Oregon energy incentive programs sunsetted at the end of the 2017 tax year; however, there are still federal incentives for buying energy efficient appliances. Some municipalities have sustainable energy incentives, as well. Green-certified rental units declining? Efficient homes can save renters money, too—but the number of new green-certified rental units in large-scale buildings dropped for the second year in a row, with 42,900 units delivered last year, according to RENTCafe website. However, even with the two-year decrease, it’s still a 283 percent increase from 2008. According to RENTCafe, Portland has the fifth-most green rental apartments in the U.S., with 11,500 units. Chicago tops the list with over 20,000 units.

OSU-Cascades builds green Oregon State University, with its signature orange and black school colors, could be considered green-phobic—at least when it comes to sports—as the rival of the yellow and green University of Oregon Ducks. But the planned expansion for OSU-Cascades has a lot of green elements in it. In OSU’s proposed Path to Net Zero Energy, there’s a plan for net zero water, energy and waste—and a plan for a new transportation vision that would establish a new transportation paradigm, de-emphasizing the single occupancy motor vehicle, according to information from OSU-Cascades. To get to net zero water use, Steve Pitman, director of facilities and operations for OSU-Cascades, said the college doesn’t want to use more water on its site than will fall as precipitation in a year. To get there, Pitman said the school would have to do some degree of water treatment—either just gray water or waste water from toilets, which would need an on-site water treatment plant, which could get complicated and expensive. Currently, the school is working on adding native plant species that lessen the need for irrigation. Pitman said the school would work on a reclaimed water system to be able to flush toilets with reclaimed water and other conservation features, to make the overall water consumption number the lowest, so the treatment would become more affordable. Pitman said the school just selected a designer for the new academic building that’s set to be ready to use by the 2021 school year. The design focus for the new building is to simplify and change the way the buildings are used to use less energy, Pitman said. But design alone won’t get the school to net zero. Pitman said they also need a strategy to produce energy, as well. One of those is a geothermal system, which essentially uses groundwater as a source of heat or cooling. According to Pitman, a geothermal system takes heat out of the ground or groundwater and moves it into buildings. These types of systems are more energy efficient, Pitman said because the energy used is in moving the heat, not creating the heat in a typical system like a furnace. Pitman said the upfront cost of geothermal is expensive, which is why the

than the 2014 state energy codes, which set a benchmark for energy efficiency targets. City of Bend awarded renewable power grant This month, the City of Bend received a $60,000-plus grant from Pacific Power to help with the installation of 360 solar base-mounted modules at the City’s water facility off Skyliners Road. According to the City, the solar modules are expected to generate about 195 megawatt hours of energy per year, creating a savings of about $12,000 per year in energy costs. The project will also help the City reduce its carbon footprint, by lowering emissions by nearly 180,000 pounds per year over 20 years. “We are very grateful to receive this award that allows us to use alternative energy sources and benefit our operations,” Paul Rheault, City of Bend utility director, said in a press release. “This works toward our goals to increase the sustainability and energy efficiency of our operations and save money for our ratepayers.” “The Blue Sky grant is great news,” Lindsey Hardy, a member of the City’s climate action steering committee, said. The project is one strategy to help the City reduce fossil fuel use at its facilities, which are part of the City’s climate action goals. Other parts of the climate action goals are to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from City facilities and operations to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 and reduce fossil fuel use by City facilities and operations by 40 percent by 2030 and 70 percent by 2050. Construction for the solar panels on the water filtration facility is scheduled to begin this spring and be completed by the end of the year. Ross Chandler

first three OSU-Cascades buildings don’t have it, but the new building is going to have it and the intent is for the whole campus to use geothermal in the future. “To be using that geothermal system for the majority of the heating and probably all of the cooling, and then the last pillar is the renewal energy plan is solar energy or whatever else we need to get to that zero in our master plan,” Pitman said. Pitman said the new building has plans for roof-mounted solar and ground-mounted solar arrays. The ground-mounted solar panels will be placed above the old Deschutes County demolition landfill, once the landfill is cleaned up. Pitman said most OSU students either have a car, or have access to one—and he doesn’t blame them with all of the outdoor opportunities Bend has to offer. “Our challenge is how do we get folks who live further away—or all the spaces in between—how do we get them to somehow take advantage of transportation options that at least limit the number of private vehicles,” Pitman said. One way to reach this goal, Pitman said, is to provide special parking for carpooling on campus. State policy is to charge for parking on campus, partially as a way to discourage people from driving and consider other transportation options. Also, university employees and students have free access to bike-share bicycles on campus, Pitman said. The University of Oregon, which has many old buildings, is working on energy efficiency as well. According to the university, they’ve replaced many of the old buildings’ lighting with LEDs and all new buildings are required to be 25 percent more energy efficient

Deschutes Land Trust The Deschutes Land Trust is a nonprofit conserving land in Central Oregon. Its mission is to work cooperatively with landowners to conserve wildlife, scenic views and local communities. DLT has conserved more than 9,1000 acres of land in and around Central Oregon, including nine nature preserves, since 1995. Land trusts typically conserve land by either purchasing a property outright, or by creating a land protection

agreement that stays with the land. Both are created with the intent of protecting the land in perpetuity. Deschutes Land Trust owns nine nature preserves. Camp Polk Meadow Preserve outside of Sisters is a signature project—a 150-acre property secured in 2000, which includes meadows, aspen and pine stands and 2 miles of Whychus Creek. DLT worked with the community and conservation partners to complete a restoration of the meadow and Whychus Creek in 2012, resulting in healthier habitat for fish and wildlife, and a more knowledgeable and engaged community. DLT also purchased and created the 450-acre Whychus Canyon Preserve in 2010, and then added another 480 acres in 2014. Located between Sisters and Redmond, the Preserve includes 4 miles of Whychus Creek, native grasslands and old growth juniper. Visitors can hike a network of trails that provide access to the creek, as well as one of the only interpretive trails about the Santiam Wagon Road east of the Cascades. Recent projects include the effort to conserve the 33,000-acre Skyline Forest between Bend and Sisters, and the establishment of the Land Trust’s first Community Preserve in Prineville, the Ochoco Preserve. The Land Trust offers more than 150 free walks, hikes and outings, an annual Nature Night lecture series, and a variety of volunteer opportunities each year.

as a checker ever given you sideeye for bringing your own bags, and not automatically offering to do the checker’s job by beginning to bag your own groceries? Us, too. While checkers can currently get away with that occasional side-eye because those of us bringing bags are still so few, that’s not going to last. Thanks to the City of Bend’s ordinance regulating the use of single-use plastic bags, checkers across the city will soon have to either bag in paper, or bag in our reusable bags. Turns out, though, some stores show little sign of the impending change. Here’s our take on local shopping, and bagging.

Albertsons—Corporate Shoppin’ You don’t need no stinkin’ bags! By Chris Miller Albertsons, the corporate grocery store that operates 21 separate companies—including Safeway—will hand out plastic bags to its

shoppers like candy on Halloween. It’s like the direct opposite of Whole Foods, where the once-pleasant checker’s mood will turn dark when you don’t hand over your reusable bag, but instead have to ask for a paper one like you’re asking for your groceries for free. Not at Albies. No bags, no problem. You can get double-plastic bagged, or even paper. And, if you’re really feeling cheeky, you can get your paper bagged in plastic! Whole Foods, Whole Package When it comes to bagging, there can only be one By Isaac Biehl Not only does Whole Foods prefer if you bring your own bag, it’s basically expected. While I might not know what everything is in the store, I DO know my groceries will be handled with care and no fuss. They are much faster at bagging everything into my reusable bag than other stores around—and they do so with a calm readiness. If my cashier isn’t

stressing, then neither am I. Sure, it might be intimidating walking in – but as my football coach once told me: “It’s not about how you start. It’s how you finish.” And boy, does Whole Foods know how to finish. Fred Meyer—Something to Admire BYO bag — or find a plethora of reusable bag options By Keely Damara I usually bring my reusable bags with me to the grocery store (including reusable produce bags), with the exception being when I’m making an unplanned stop on the way home from work. My go-to store is Fred Meyer, for their solid produce and bulk section. It doesn’t hurt that they are also a one-stop shop for basically anything you could be shopping for. After walking through the sliding doors, guests are greeted by a little white kiosk (a la imagined 1950s future-tech) playing an instructional video on how to use hand scanners to tally up items in your cart as you shop (you do the work, so they don’t have to — aren’t 21st century innovations convenient?) Still, deep down, in addition to self-checkout lanes usually being faster, it is, dare I say, fun, to scan my own items. Who knows, perhaps it’s childhood nostalgia for many trips to the grocery store — wanting so badly to use that cool red laser to scan something… just once! Can you really blame them for trying to get us excited about using our own personal scanning gun? New pseudo-helpful shopping tech aside, what’s actually useful is the prominently displayed reusable bags for

The Humble Beet More than ready for the bag ban revolution By Nicole Vulcan With its mix of grab-and-go items, produce and basic, locally sourced sundries, The Humble Beet isn’t exactly the place you go to stock up on everything you’re going to need to survive any impending Big One. Hence, you’ll probably get by just fine if you forget the bulk of your reusable bags and end up needing to stash your stuff into the backpack you wear while riding your bike around the west side (because you do ride your bike to get around town and not just on the trails, right, Bend?) or the bag you have discarded in the trunk of your car. But then again, one of the often-overlooked tenets of sustainability is “refuse,” as in, don’t just reduce, reuse and recycle, but also refuse bags—plastic, paper or whatever—when you can. In the raging debate over which type of bag is actually worse for the environment, the option that is most certainly the best is not using a bag at all. I piled my stash of local eggs, (guilt-inducing) Coconut Bliss and produce on the counter, only to have the staff ask me first whether I wanted a bag before they started bagging things into a paper bag. I refused—and for that, they added a token into a bucket. That token would be translated into cash for a local charity. Are they ready for the plastic bag ban? You beet!

“F**k Plastic: 101 Ways to Free Yourself from Plastic and Save the World” By Surfers Against Sewage The title pretty much says it all, and the sentiment is spot on. For anyone who’s tried, though, you know how pervasive plastic is in our lives and how hard it is to get rid of it. Is there anything besides fresh vegetables and canned goods at the grocery store that doesn’t come in some sort of plastic packaging? Here are 101 small things you

can start doing right now to limit your plastic usage. We can’t get rid of it, but we all need to start somewhere, and this is as good a place as any.

County Board of Commissioners in May. To help achieve the new recovery rate goal, the Deschutes County Solid Waste Advisory Committee has recommended expanding its compost program to the rest of the county. In Bend and Redmond, people can add their vegetative food waste to their yard bins, which are available for a subscription fee. In Sisters, people automatically receive yard bins with their garbage service. Currently, 12,109 Bend households have a yard bin subscription, making up 40 percent of the Bend Garbage & Recycling and Cascade Disposal’s customers. In addition, 600 Bend Garbage & Recycling and Cascade Disposal customers participate in the expanded composting pilot program, allowing the collection of meat and dairy waste products in addition to the vegetative food scraps. Susan Baker of Bend Garbage & Recycling said she’s hopeful they can roll out the expanded composting program to the rest of their customers by the end of the year.

Offering curbside composting to all of Deschutes County is one way officials hope to cut down on the percentage of waste headed to the landfill By Keely Damara

If the Bend pilot program proves successful, implementation isn’t scheduled to begin until 2022 for the rest of Deschutes County, according to the latest SWMP dated April 10. In addition, managers would need to reassess the current composting operation at Knott Landfill to see if they need to upgrade the facility to handle the additional compost. “That’ll take dollars and some time, so full roll out may be delayed simply by the compost operation, not necessarily how the pilot project went,” said Timm Schimke, director of waste management in Deschutes County. “The compost facility is fairly close to residents, and we were really concerned about making sure we don’t have an odor problem. That could be very significant improvement that would be needed.” The advisory committee has put forth a few options for expanding upon the current compost facility at Knott Landfill, including recommending doing a study to evaluate alternative composting systems and research other possible

locations for a new composting facility. This evaluation period would take place from mid-2020 through mid-2021. While a final draft of the SWMP has yet to be presented to the Board of County Commissioners, Schimke hopes jurisdictions will begin to implement the committee’s recommendations as soon as they are adopted. “We want to encourage jurisdictions to expand,” said Schimke. “So, for the county, that would be offering that curbside collection of ‘organic,’ I’ll call it. We don’t do that anywhere in the county now, so we’ll probably consider doing that. In the city, it’s on a subscription basis and they’ll probably be considering whether to make that a base part of everybody’s service.” The plan is still in review, and Schimke said they may collect public input on the plan recommendations before the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners takes action. The next Solid Waste Advisory Committee Meeting is April 23.

n 2017, 181,000 tons of waste went into Knott Landfill—a 39 percent increase since 2014. While population growth and an increase in construction in Deschutes County are two factors contributing to this increase, the County expects the waste generation to increase at a rate in proportion with population growth in the future. Deschutes County’s current recovery rate—the portion of waste not headed to the landfill—is 33 percent. The new goal is to recover 45 percent by the year 2025. Right now, curbside composting of residential food waste is available in the cities of Bend, Redmond and Sisters—but not the wider county. But in the (somewhat) near future, those living in the wider county could see curbside composting come to them.

Local high schools sign resolution around climate change, among other student-led efforts By Nicole Vulcan

Aaron Duarte

Students at Bend Senior High School joined the international student walk-out observing a "global day of climate action" in March.

“T

he more we increase the active participation and partnership with young people, the better we serve them. … And the more comprehensively we work with them as service partners, the more we increase our public value to the entire community.” — Carmen Martinez, former director, Oakland Public Library Don’t make the mistake of believing that youth is wasted on the young. If the next generation of Bend’s leaders are any indication, a sea change in the way we look at anthropogenic climate change is just around the next graduation tassel. Matter of fact, students in Bend aren’t even waiting to graduate to begin their careers as activists. Below are just a few ways students— and local educators—are becoming leaders in the movement toward mitigating the effects of human-caused climate change. Bring Your Own Cup Bend

Carrington Fastelin is a senior at Bend Senior High School, inspired to form her own initiative, Bring Your Own Cup Bend, after taking the Environmental Systems and Society class at school. She soon enlisted the help of a small group of fellow activists to create what she calls a “creative, inspired” campaign to reduce single-use plastic, similar to other Bring Your Own Cup initiatives, such as the one created by Recycling Advocates in Portland. The Humble Beet on Bend’s west side is the first retailer to sign on to take part in the BYOC Bend initiative. The idea is simple: Spread the word about the impacts of single-use plastic—including cups—around town, and get local businesses to sign on to

encourage their customers and employees to bring their own cups when they patronize their establishments. It’s not just about the non-biodegradable, and often, non-recyclable nature of plastics. According to global water think tank, the Pacific Institute, the amount of plastic needed to meet Americans’ appetites for plastic water bottles was equivalent to 17 million barrels of oil in 2006—not counting what it took to transport those bottles. In 2006, making those bottles created 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide that same year. “I knew that I wanted to do something, and I noticed that a lot of kids at school use single-use cups—because we all love Dutch Bros.,” Fastelin said. “It’s something that affects us all.” As an initial outreach, members of BYOC Bend will be set up at the Sierra Club booth during the Downtown Earth Day Fair & Parade on Saturday, handing out free stickers. Next on the group’s agenda: Getting more businesses to take part and spread the word.

justice and human rights issue,” and “We, as students, endorse equitable and effective state and national carbon pricing policies and call on all adults, voters, leaders, and institutions to join us in advocating for and implementing these policies rapidly in order to restore the climate.” After adopting the resolution at Bend High, students and teachers got buyin from other area schools, including REALMS High School and Skyline High School, says Matt Fox, a teacher at Bend High who teaches a unique “Design Justice” course. The class is a hive where many students hatch ideas about social change movements they want to launch. “That class—we give them the tools, and ask them, how do you attack the change?” Fox said. Fox said they’re also working with leaders at Mt. View and Summit high schools to adopt resolutions there, too. In addition, the local teacher’s union, Bend Education Association, has also signed on, Fox said. With as many schools as possible signed on, representatives will take the resolution to an upcoming school board meeting, in hopes of getting the board to adopt its own resolution. Youth Climate Strike

In August 2018, Swedish high school student Greta Thunberg staged a protest outside the Swedish Parliament, demanding the government reduce carbon emissions in accordance with the Paris Climate Agreement. Thunberg’s activism inspired students worldwide— including students in Central Oregon. Along with other students around the world, students at local high schools

walked out of school March 15, in what they dubbed a “global day of climate action,” demanding leaders transition to 100 percent renewable energy by 2030, and form a committee to implement a Green New Deal, among other items. At Bend High, organizers for the Youth Climate Walkout included Isable Merel, a senior. “We have just 11 short years to reverse the damage we’ve inflicted on the environment before our planet becomes uninhabitable,” Merel wrote. “But we can’t wait for the next election.” Science and Sustainability Fair

At the Redmond Proficiency Academy, students have been incorporating research around sustainability into their science curriculum this semester. On Monday, they’ll open their doors to the public for the school’s annual Science and Sustainability Fair, where attendees can see student research, and gain free sustainability resources. “In this day and age, consumption rules most of our thinking. It is advertised even to young children. But what happens after these things we buy have no use? Where do they go? It is important that we bring light to the effects of modern consumption practices and that is exactly what RPA’s sustainability fair is going to do,” RPA freshman Kristine Parker stated in a release.

A Call to Climate Action Resolution

Meanwhile, area high schools are coming together in an effort to get the Bend-La Pine Schools Board of Directors to sign a resolution on climate action. Bridger Freeman, a Bend High student, was instrumental in drafting the Bend Senior High School Student Council’s Call to Climate Action Resolution. Freeman had the help of Jesse Kurtz-Nichol, a professor of economics at Central Oregon Community College, who also works with the group, Schools for Climate Action— which helps schools form climate action resolutions nationwide. The resolution’s tenets include, “We declare climate change a generational

Record Store Day 2019

Recycle Music and record lovers relish the twice-a-year holiday By Isaac Biehl

limited release for. Plus, I like to support Keith. He’s great in the community. I love the fact that his store is what Bend should be about.” Two longtime Recycle Music employees, Travis Weaver and Dakota Foote, both enjoy the experience from their perspectives as workers. Weaver remembers the feeling of being young and excited for release days, and Foote emphasizes how that feeling is expanded on RSD. “It definitely does bring hype—and I do like the hype,” says Foote. “People are like waiting outside the door, rushing in. It’s not like a normal release.” Talking to another RSD attendee, Ben Brewer, after he made his

purchase, he told me RSD is a way to bond with his brother, Chris. “I started going because he’s more into vinyl than me, historically. We kind of started coming together the last few years so I’d say he is more of the reason that I came down to Record Store Day than maybe myself,” Brewer says. “There’s always a few unique things and the spectacle is a part of the process. I found a first live recorded Doors set. We were looking for a few other things that we didn’t come up on but that’s how it goes.” The next Record Store Day is on Black Friday, Nov. 29. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find some more goodies before then. Isaac Biehl

Music listeners and collectors arrive early as possible to find hidden gems throughout the store.

omewhere in the pantheon of the best holiday rankings, Record Store Day is up toward the top. Not only is it a nostalgic practice for some, but it’s a great way to support an industry that most probably figured would be dead by now. RSD happens twice a year – once in April and once in November – and has officially become a tradition for many since it began in 2008. This past Saturday, the Source headed out to check out the scene at Recycle Music—filled with a variety of music lovers. “That’s the thing, sometimes I get people in who I don’t see all year because of Record Store Day,” says Recycle Music owner Keith Schuman. “We treat it as a customer appreciation

day. This way we can thank people for helping us stay in business.” For some, RSD is an opportunity to find those limited edition releases you won’t see throughout the year (some hot commodities this year were the “Bohemian Rhapsody” soundtrack and the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock releases). For others it’s just a way to make sure they’re supporting local business. “I found a couple of albums. One is a history of Clapton—it’s a German import. So, it’s a really good live recording. Then I found a Prince album that I’ve been looking for,” said avid record-buyer Cole Smith. “I like Record Store Day because there’s albums that come out that there’s a

Andy Frasco brings his undeniable passion for music and life to Bend

Dan McClung

Andy Frasco & The U.N.’s latest album, titled “Change Of Pace,” was released Feb. 22.

ndy Frasco & The U.N. aren’t your typical jam band—and they’ll tell you that. Frasco previously described the group as “a punk rock band for the jam scene” in an interview with the Live For Live Music website. If you read, watch or listen to any interview with Frasco, this sentiment will make total sense. He’s blatantly himself and lets things fly.

Spaces where artists can connect

CULTURE

Galleries, studios, collaborative spaces and more By Teafly Peterson

Courtesy Cari Brown

stop for lunch, or if you’re looking to have a perfectly made cup of coffee brewed by a vintage refurbished cappuccino maker while in a modernized school bus cafe/mobile gallery. Yes, it’s that hip. Are you looking to enhance your own practice? Learn new skills? Atelier 6000 is a great place for artists who already have their own creative practice but are looking to grow and enhance it. A working print studio, A6 is housed in the Bend Art Center, offering amazing, deep classes for artists to work alongside masters in their craft. They also offer memberships if you want to have access to the large presses. Often, they have studio member exhibition and sales, which are also a delight of eclectic work. Are you simply looking to find artists for a commission or to buy handmade items? Red Chair Gallery downtown is an artist collective, as well as Tumalo Art Co. in the Old Mill District. One of the things I love about both of these

places is that the artists work the shops. While artists aren’t always great talking about their own work, they can be fantastic when talking about a fellow artist’s work. During the summer, you’ll even find some of the Tumalo Art Co. artists painting en plain air around the Old Mill. Let’s not forget about the enclaves where artists work, away from the public eye, such as Cindercone Clay Center for potters and Torch for jewelers. While these spaces are not necessarily open on a daily basis to visitors, they do provide an integral service: housing artists in affordable spaces. There are quite a few other spaces where artists can come together without the fear of their work being pulled apart or unfairly critiqued— even resulting in them being banished from the walls. It’s important to remember these spaces and help keep their doors open—unless we all want to be ruled by the person who views a piece of art and gets hung up on the word “ass.”

t interests me how creative Bend can be, and how much our artist community has grown. In many ways, it feels like it hasn’t changed much over the years—like the fact that there are still not many spaces artists can hang their work. Of course, they are plenty of privately owned spaces, but often these business owners, who tell you they want art hung in their space, will always consider their patrons’ interpretations of art over the work of the artist themselves. This can be devastating to the growth of the artist community, not allowing artists to be free to truly share their work. It also sends the wrong idea about the community we are in, leaving artists feeling like they are not sure where to go to be accepted and nurtured. If you’re an artist looking for connection to other artists, Bright Place Gallery, The Workhouse or Willow Lane are good places to start, as they all host spaces that artists work in, as well as retail spaces. Bright Place Gallery is also a great

A Community Thread By Joshua Langlais

ACT: Do you have thoughts regarding Bend’s growth? DM: I would tell you that I don’t prescribe to it, personally. I don’t understand it. These days things are so touchy and to tell people, Hey, you’re from a certain area, you can’t move here… that sounds like a big-picture thing we’re hearing right now. That’s not the community that I want to participate in and, more importantly, that’s not the community that I’ll ever believe that Bend is.

I G H T

—DAN MCGARIGLE

Because, simply put, that’s not me. That’s not my friends. That’s not something that I think Bend is or want it to be. You know, I was here first? Come on, that’s like the lamest excuse in the world (laughs). But I do understand where people are coming from. The direction that I share with people is that if you don’t like the way that certain people are acting in the community or that you believe that the community is going, the only way to keep the community the way you want it to be is actually to be the community that you want it to be. And that means that we, as the people who want Bend to keep the character that it has—the small town feel, the expectations of one another, whether it’s treat each other in a certain manner or participate at a certain level—it’s up to us as every individual inside it to be that. If we choose to use other people’s direction as ways to allow it to waver from our own, then that’s

on us. That’s not somebody else’s fault. That’s on us for changing the way that we view the community that we live in. What we preach as longstanding members of the community—as a small business, as the culture of the outdoor community here in Bend—is what people will follow. You have to believe that. Because you can’t beat into people what you want them to be. That just doesn’t work. And you can’t think lesser of them because they aren’t quite used to participating in a community like the one we envision. So, anytime I hear people complaining about the way that things are changing, my constant reminder to them is, Well then don’t let it. Then represent what you want our community to be.

A Community Thread: What does community mean to you? Dan McGarigle: Long story short, where we—especially these days—we follow headlines, we turn on the news, we’re bombarded by media from all over the world. I don’t believe that those things actually affect us as much as the community around us—how we engage it, how it engages us. They say, Think globally, act locally. You know, you can paraphrase it anyway you want, but ultimately, the community that you keep is a huge influence on the quality of your life. Bend’s got a great community. Right now, it gets pushed and pulled on a little bit just because of growth and so many new people moving to town, but I really do believe that Bend still is one of the greatest communities in the country. It is as much intoxicating as the accessibility to the outdoors and the lifestyle. You can have those things, but if you’ve got a dysfunctional community or a community you choose not to participate in, you’re missing out. My mom was always heavily engaged

in her profession, as far as health care and volunteering and being involved with community efforts and things along those lines. Seeing that as an example as a child, it really had a profound impact on me as far as who I am as an adult. I don’t really think that the community I grew up in was as engaging and as active as the one in Bend, but taking that influence and bringing it with me and making that part of who I am— who Pine Mountain Sports is—that’s only helped me live the life that I want to live. My mom gave me the tools, that when I did find the community I wanted to be involved with, to get in. To make an impact. To do the things you want to do. To not listen to the people who tell you No, you can’t or Nobody does that.

They say, Think globally, act locally. You know, you can paraphrase it anyway you want, but ultimately, the community that you keep is a huge influence on the quality of your life.

While it’s from the archives, its relevance to today is sobering.

“The World’s Healthiest Nut” LITTLE BITES By Lisa Sipe

Pili Hunters sticks to its wild roots, while putting the planet first

By Isaac Biehl

Make Room in the Pantry, Root Cellar Open

The Root Cellar, formerly 123 Ramen, is open. The restaurant transformed into a small market with house-made pantry staples from Anna Witham including bone broth, kimchi, pickled onions, peanut sauce, chai, fig pickles, hot sauce, spice mixes and so much more. Dive into the refrigerated case and you’ll find a few grab-and-go bites, or order a hot cup from the broth bar. We recommend trying the spicy tom kha with coconut cream, fish sauce, chili and lime.

rain water, he says. To put that in perspective, the average amount of water used in irrigation on almonds is 3.2 gallons of water per nut, according to a study published in 2019 in the journal, Ecological Indicators. That’s a staggering amount of water when you consider how many nuts come in a single bag, and then if you multiply that with how many bags are produced total worldwide—that’s a lot of water. “I just feel like we can do it in a decent way, without f*cking everybody along the way,” Thomas says of the company values. “I have an amazing opportunity to do something right.” Everything about the Pili Hunters headquarters in Bend is DIY and aimed at being environmentally friendly. Just as they to try to use every part of the nut to create their products, the company itself is very conscious about the environment: The tables? All leftover

doors from a door company that closed across the way. Shipping? All recyclable paper envelopes packed to the absolute brim. The picture of the pili tree he showed me? Printed on a board Thomas found in a church dumpster. Market of Choice and Natural Grocers even give Pili Hunters all of their bubble wrap to use for shipping. “I’m trying to do the opposite of what everybody else is doing,” says Thomas of Pili Hunters’ environmental footprint. “We’re so wasteful in this country. I’m trying to keep a business going with my mentality. I think if we stay true, hopefully the stars will align. And if they don’t, I can still look in the mirror.” Find Pili Hunters products at Newport Avenue Market, Natural Grocers and Market of Choice.

“The Rademacher house and the Riverfront Plaza has become a community hub through the hard efforts of myself, my staff and community collaboration with the City of Bend and Bend Police Department. I am excited to see the coffee/beer/music component continue to rock with the new ownership with Dan Baumann. He has been the general manager for the past year and his tireless efforts have built the music scene and continues to create the community component that I/we have always envisioned,” said Crow’s Feet Commons owner David Marchi. “The name change (to The Commons) is a logical step in separating the two businesses. The Rademacher house, which is the oldest standing house in Bend, should always be a community place, a common space for community events and connection.”

Pili Hunters

bout five years ago, Jason Thomas was on a kite surfing trip in the Philippines. It was then that he first tried the pili nut (pronounced peel-y) and experienced the powerful flavor for himself. Thomas flew back home with 10 pounds of pili nuts in his backpack and proceeded to sell them along the coasts to other surfers and natural food stores. Once he ran out, he knew these nuts were something special. Eventually, Pili Hunters was born. First starting in Eugene, Pili hunters has been in Bend now for about a year and a half. Pili Hunters’ products are marketed as a prime source of fuel for adventurers—runners, hikers, bikers or those on a special diet. The nuts are packaged in their traditional form, as a butter, as a mix into coffee and more. The company even makes a hand salve from the nut's oil. While its versatility is one quality, the nutritional value is the real catch. “We call it the world’s healthiest nut. Lowest carb. Highest fat. Highest magnesium. There’s a bunch of calcium, phosphorous, zinc, and a bunch of vitamin E,” says Thomas. “If you’re vegan, throw it on top of your salad as a crouton and you’re getting all of your saturated fat. If you’re Paleo, it’s natural and you’re getting that protein. If you’re keto you’re getting all that highfat with no carbs.” Thomas spends three months out of the year in the Philippines, helping with the harvest and distribution, all while building relationships with the workers there and finding the best new practices for Pili Hunters. “We’re the only ethically sourced pili nuts on the market,” says Thomas, as he shows me a photo of a 150-year-old pili tree. “We’re seeing a big push of companies trying to do “organic” over there – but you don’t have to. They [the locals] are not spraying pesticides on that tree. They are not fertilizing that tree. It’s the rich volcanic soil.” Everything about the Pili Hunters' process is done by hand, says Thomas. The hunters climb up the pili trees – which can grow to over 60 feet high – and knock off each nut with a spearlike tool that has a hook on the end, before they’re gathered on the ground. From there each nut is cracked open with a machete. “They are starting to plant some trees, but it’s not monocrop style – it’s not like an almond farm in California,” mentions Thomas. “This is the jungle.” Speaking of almonds, the other advantage to the way Pili Hunters grow and harvest these nuts is that there is zero irrigation work – it is 100 percent

By Zach Beckwith In 2016, Portland-based Coalition Brewing released the first commercially available CBD-infused beer, Two Flowers IPA. Coalition uses a secret process for extracting the CBD used in Two Flowers IPA in an attempt to comply with state regulators. The legality of CBD beers is somewhat muddled by conflicting state and federal laws. Some brewers have run afoul of the Federal Tax and Trade Bureau, which, in August 2018, clarified its position with a memo blankly stating, “TTB will not approve any formulas or labels for alcohol beverage products that Bend Brewing Company’s There’s an Eighth in My Boot Pale Ale. contain a controlled substance under Federal law, eer and cannabis have been infor- including marijuana.” mally linked for generations.

Behind the Curve: This is a documentary about Flat Earthers. Do you need more? Hearing Flat Earth theories from the point of view of people who genuinely believe it is fascinating and also somewhat chilling as it sinks in how desperately people will cling to outmoded belief systems to not upset their own very fragile ecosystems. Keep in mind that as easy as it is to make fun of these people, the UK Flat Earth Society Facebook page has over 195K likes. Where’s the page for people who believe it’s turtles all the way down? I’m into that. How to Change the World: A group of activists got together in the 1970s to protest nuclear testing, and Greenpeace was born.

ou know, if everyone liked the same stuff, the world would be so unbearably boring. Most people are so divided nowadays that even if they agree on the symptoms, they’ll argue intensely over the disease. I’ve seen people lament climate change in the same sentence while mocking global warming which, as far as I can tell, both mean the same thing nowadays. One thing we can all agree on is that movies are cool and have the power (when we allow them to) to see outside of our sometimes quite insular bubbles. With that said, in celebration of our sustainability issue, here are a few wildly different examples of movies designed to help us empathize with our Earth.

Now Our Watch Begins

values and ideals turn those beliefs into concrete avenues of change. It’s easy to feel powerless against unending pollution, corporate destruction and socialized antipathy, but actually visualizing how change can come from a single individual is inspiring on a level we all need every once in a while. The Most Unknown: I watched this a year ago and can’t get the questions it raises out of my head. Nine scientists from across the globe visit each other to learn about different scientific disciplines.

Winter isn’t coming... it’s already here. Here’s our weekly take on the final season of "Game of Thrones" By Jared Rasic *SPOILERS AHEAD* It’s only been 595 days (or 14,280 hours if you’re counting) since we last visited Westeros, but who’s counting? We’re entering into the eighth and final season of the bleakest show ever to capture the popular zeitgeist and this premiere is bringing everything round full circle. “Winterfell” is the calm before the storm (of swords) where we get to check in on everyone before the final battle between everyone living and the army of the dead. We’ve got Sansa and Daenerys throwing shade at each other like there aren’t zombies to worry about, and Cersei is once again in her bad-decisions mode, hooking up with psychopaths and being

stoked about the wall falling. Has she just lost it completely or does she really think a few sellswords and Greyjoys will protect her from an Ice Dragon? Jon Snow and Dany have a little “How to Train Your Dragon” moment, which is nice, but we know it’s all short-lived since being kissing cousins is not a good look. Anyone else wondering if Dany will even care? So many characters who haven’t seen each other in ages are finally put in the same room again and it’s gorgeous. Arya reconnects with Jon, Gendry and the Hound, who she hasn’t seen since she robbed him and left him to die. But the best convergence is a dark and

Fire Protection OUTSIDE Sustainable Project Wildfire aims to cultivate fire adapted communities

Mother’s Day

gift certificates 45

By Keely Damara

Project Wildfire The beginnings of Project Wildfire started in 1996, following the Skeleton Fire in Bend. Nearly 18,000 acres on the east side of the city and 30 structures were destroyed after wind quickly carried the flames in just a few hours, according to the Bend Fire Historical Society website. The FireFree program was born—a community educational program that offers tips to protect structures—from ember showers igniting fuel, like pine needles and leaves, as well as free yard debris recycling twice a year for residents. The community mobilization effort was successful, and in 1998 the county applied for and received a grant of nearly $300,000 from FEMA through Project Impact, a federal initiative that aimed to create disaster-resistant communities. Though the federal initiative was shortlived, Deschutes County formally adopted and broadened the program in 2000, renaming it Project Wildfire. Jodie Barram, who started as the new contract director for Project Wildfire in December of last year, said the organization’s work with programs like FireFree, Firewise USA and Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network is directed by a 27-person steering committee made up of homeowners associations, higher

education and firefighters, as well as federal and state agencies. With funding through the Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network, Barram is organizing a workshop for first responders, managers, community leaders and decision-makers to talk about the possible impacts a large-scale wildfire could have on Central Oregon communities. The workshop will focus on solutions to help mitigate damage from wildfire and how to recover after a big fire event. “We want to learn from communities that have already gone through part of that process and are at different points— either early in recovery or further along,” said Barram. “You can be years into recovery, as we’ve seen with wildfire or other natural disasters, and years later still be dealing with debris.” Preparing for the worst-case scenario In addition to providing educational resources to 30 Firewise USA-recognized neighborhoods in Deschutes County on how to protect homes from wildfires, Project Wildfire also helps facilitate the creation of Community Wildfire Protection Plans. There are seven in Deschutes County, which need to be re-evaluated and updated every five years. Barram is currently working on updating the Greater Sisters Area CWPP, collaborating with state and local agencies to prioritize hazardous fuels projects on wildfire-prone federal and private lands situated near homes, businesses and other structures. The plans allow forest and fire management to communicate directly with communities to identify risks and outline a clear strategy to mitigate them. “I work with the Emergency Management office on making sure that folks have identified two ways out of their neighborhood, if possible, so that in the event of a natural disaster—and in my world, wildfire, but in any natural disaster—that folks would be able to evacuate in an orderly fashion out of their neighborhood as emergency responders might be coming into it.”

Part of fire preparedness is preparing for the worst case scenario, which Paradise experienced due to a variety of factors, said Madden. If it happened in Central Oregon, it could be ugly. “It is just an alignment of forces — so drought, wind, fuels, time of day and all of that — and the odds of that happening are pretty low based on our climate,” said Madden. “We’ve got really good interagency cooperation and evacuation skills. We use Deschutes County Sheriff Search and Rescue and they get to practice that every year almost, but having a situation where the fire starts at 6 in the morning and then in an hour, it’s in town—we’re going to be behind the curve just like everybody else.” As the next fire season approaches, local and state agencies are planning pre-emptive strikes to help mitigate wildfires in the area. The County and City of Bend applied for an exemption from the Statewide Smoke Management Plan, which may allow more prescribed burns this year along with a broad community outreach effort to educate the public on air quality during these fuels management projects. In an effort to prepare the community for the upcoming fire season, the Central Oregon Fire Management Service hosted an abbreviated version of the annual real-time wildfire simulation at the City Club of Central Oregon on Tuesday. Project Wildfire meets on the third Tuesday of every month and will be discussing the Statewide Smoke Management Plan at their meeting on May 21.

ssues pertaining to water resources, solid waste management, transportation and energy production are all quick to come to mind when thinking of sustainability issues facing communities around the globe. In Deschutes County and elsewhere in Central Oregon, planning for the long-term health of surrounding forests is also an integral part of building a sustainable future. In the Camp Fire in Paradise, Calif.— the deadliest fire in California’s history—86 people died in the early morning hours of Nov. 8, 2018. More than 27,000 people were evacuated, more than 18,000 structures destroyed and 150,000 acres of land burned. Robert Madden, Bend Fire & Rescue deputy chief of operations, has been with Bend Fire for 32 years. He grew up in Northern California and fought fires in the surrounding forests, including the Feather River Canyon, where wildfires are common. “It didn’t surprise me that something bad happened there. The scale is what surprised me — that it took out an entire city and people couldn’t get out,” said Madden. What happened in Paradise, and what will happen now as displaced residents and city officials discuss rebuilding infrastructure, is something other forest communities in Deschutes County have been watching closely, said Madden. “Could Paradise happen here? I say— yeah—on our very worst day, it could,” said Madden.

Calling All Citizen Scientists

Local projects encourage people to contribute toward science and conservation By Damian Fagan

Western Monarch Milkweed Mapper Last year’s Western Monarch Thanksgiving Count in California painted an ominous picture for western monarch butterfly populations. Observers recorded a sharp decline of over 86 percent from the previous year. The Xerces Society and a host of other organizations host the Western Monarch Milkweed Mapper project and need citizen scientists to contribute observations of monarchs and milkweeds (the monarch’s host plant) to understand where and when these western monarchs disperse to from their overwintering areas. Volunteers record images of milkweeds and monarch, note the date and location, shoot a cellphone or camera image, and upload it on a website or app. Sign up at monarchmilkweedmapper.org. Pacific Northwest Bumble Bee Atlas This project, sponsored by the Xerces Society and other organizations, is a collaborative effort to better understand the plight of these important native pollinators. “One of the interesting things about the atlas is that it’s set up for people to contribute in a multitude of different ways,” said Rich Hatfield, senior conservation biologist. “Folks can go all in and

adopt a grid cell on our website and conduct these effort-based surveys, but we’re also encouraging folks to submit what we call ‘incidental’ sightings, which may be from anywhere.” Participants can sign up through xerces.org. TNO-RECON Grant Tandy, the observatory manager at Worthy Brewing’s Hopservatory, shared a citizen-science project that’s a bit out of this world. “The project looks at objects beyond Neptune called TNOs, trans-Neptunian objects,” said Tandy. Formed around the same time as our solar system roughly four and a half billion years ago, these frozen objects exist in a region known as the Kuiper Belt, which orbits the sun. “Citizen scientists in a network of western communities, from southern California to the Canadian border, coordinate telescope observations to measure the size of these objects during occultations,” said Tandy. An occultation is when a TNO passes in front of a distant star and casts a shadow on the Earth that is observable through powerful telescopes. Funded by the National Science Foundation’s Division of Astronomical Sciences with support from Cal Poly and the Southwest Research Institute, RECON (Research and Education Collaborative Occultation Network) hopes to better understand the formation and composition of our solar system. Visit tnorecon.net for information and local contacts. Globe at Night Lights Out Bend, a chapter of the International Dark-Sky Association, encourages citizen scientists to gather data about dark night skies by participating in the Globe at Night project.

pollution that occurs in towns and cities across the globe. “After 4.5 billion years of experiencing nighttime darkness, we are now living on a planet that is brighter more hours of the day than ever before experienced,” said Mary Ann Kruse of Lights Out Bend. “The day-night cycle—the Circadian rhythm—is in chaos. Birds, wildlife, insects, plants, humans are suffering ill-effects from loss of darkness.” Participants in the program sign up and collect light pollution data each month during the dark phase of the moon by locating a specified constellation and recording the faintest observable star. Visit globeatnight.org to sign up. Deschutes Land Trust Bird Surveys DLT is in need of birders to conduct bird surveys on their preserves throughout the year. DLT requires a minimal commitment of at least one survey per month, April to October, although many volunteers conduct multiple counts.

“This program is open to folks of all levels of birding experience,” said Rebekah Ratcliff, outreach associate. “These bird surveys expand our database and allows us to analyze pre- and post-restoration activities.” New volunteers are required to attend a training session. It’s a great way to get to know local preserves, too.

Considerations When Choosing a Real Estate Broker

A family driven real estate team that benefits you: 2 BROKERS

It doesn’t have to be a roll of the dice

nor do they understand a return on investment worksheet, profit and loss statements and the details of closing a transaction of this kind. Conversely, not every broker is the right fit for horse properties or ranches. Is a broker who doesn’t understand the day-to-day workings of a ranch the right fit to market a horse property? Another way to look at it: A cardiac patient isn’t going to see a neurologist to discuss heart surgery. So, why would a buyer or seller call a commercial real estate broker to discuss the purchase or sale of a hobby farm? It’s important to find the broker who’s the right fit for the type of property someone is purchasing or selling. In addition, that broker also needs to be the right fit on a personal level—meaning, does this broker have a similar communication style that meets the client’s requirements? Does the broker understand the needs, time lines, desires and goals of the sale or purchase? As a buyer or seller, it’s crucial that the chosen broker has a solid understanding of their client’s expectations. When choosing a real estate broker, don’t be afraid to interview several. Ask questions about the process, marketing and get a feel for the congruency between the two of you. Real estate transactions can be complicated. In short, choosing a real estate broker doesn’t have to be a hit or miss experience.

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 16 / APRIL 18, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

real estate purchase or sale tends to be, for most people, the largest investment they’ll make in their lifetime. Who a buyer/seller chooses to represent them with such a significant transaction matters. Last year, I was working with a client who previously had his home listed for sale. Within 60 days of his contract, he terminated the listing agreement. Shortly thereafter, this client contacted me to discuss listing his property for sale. During the interview, I asked him how he chose the previous listing broker. His response was that he didn’t know any other brokers, but because this broker had the listing when he purchased it 19 years ago, it seemed like he would be “OK” to sell the property again. Clearly, this assumption did not work in the seller’s favor, and the seller was very disappointed on his first go-around, trying to sell his property. This same client said to me that he wished he had interviewed more brokers and discussed the marketing strategy before he hired, and felt like he had lost more than 60 days of valuable marketing time. Not all real estate brokers are right for the type of sale and situation. For example, different factors apply when purchasing or selling an investment property versus a single-family home. Not every broker specializes in the details of tenant-occupied properties;

There’s Something About Marriott

I’m a married lesbian. Yesterday on the phone, my wife invited her sister to spend the night (in our small one-bedroom apartment) without asking me. When I confronted her, saying it’s OUR home, she said, “It’s my sister!” Family’s very important to her, and her sister didn’t come, so I let it go. But what’s the protocol with guests, specifically family? —Feelings Ignored To err is human—as is the tendency to duck personal responsibility like it’s a shoulder-fired missile. We have a powerful drive to be consistent—to have our actions match what we claim to stand for. We are also frequently inconsistent. Welcome to “cognitive dissonance,” social psychologist Leon Festinger’s term for the discomfort we feel when we hold two competing beliefs or attitudes or when our beliefs and our behaviors clash. An example of this (totally random!) would be the belief “I’m a loving, respectful, considerate spouse” and then the behavior “I just hauled off and told my sister our home is her hotel room—without so much as a courtesy ‘Hey, hon...?’ to my wife.” Social psychologist Elliot Aronson, one of Festinger’s former students, found that we manage our inconsistencies through “self-justification.” This involves creating an explanation for our hypocritical attitudes or behavior that makes us look good: smart, honest, and 100% in the right. So (again, super randomly!) an example of self-justification would be a spouse who’s just acted like a singleton instead of a partner—who excuses it with “Family is everything to me!” instead of conceding “Whoopsy...got a little impulsive on the phone and forgot to run Sis’s visit by you.” (Just a guess, but you probably wouldn’t have been all “Sorry, but the couch is totally booked up with our unfolded laundry.”) As for your question—“What’s the protocol with guests, specifically family?”— unfortunately, there’s no set of numbered stone tablets to answer that. In fact, as with so many questions that come up in relationships, the process of answering—not the actual answer—is what really matters. I see this constantly in my work as a volunteer mediator (doing free dispute resolution for Los Angeles residents in the LA City Attorney’s office). Conflicts

that turn ugly and escalate are typically the result of people pushing for “positions” without regard for “interests.” Positions are our goals—the “what,” as in what we want another person to do (or stop doing). So, your position might be “I want to be asked, even just as a formality, before you tell somebody they can stay over.” Interests are the underlying motivations—the “why”: “I want to be treated with respect, like my feelings matter.” In my mediations, I’ve found that positions that are deeply important to a person can become far less do-or-die when you tend to their underlying interests. This starts with framing whatever happened in, uh, flame-retardant rather than inflammatory terms. You do this by expressing your feelings—“I felt really humiliated when X happened’’—instead of making accusations: “You did this, you relationship criminal!” Hearing feelings (instead of blame) allows you to empathize with each other. (HINT: You should actively try to empathize -- and, in mediator lingo, “validate” feelings,” meaning let the other person know that you get where they’re coming from.) Amy Alkon For example, in addressing this guest issue, you might’ve said to your wife, “I hear how important family is to you.” Hearing that you understand eliminates the need for her to try to MAKE you—meaning she can approach the conflict between you more like a loving partner than a “Thrones” swordsmistress, bent on turning the enemy into a human doily. The beauty of dialing down from combat mode like this is that it enables you to engage in collaborative problem-solving—for example, brainstorming together to come up with ideas for how things could work regarding overnight guests at your place. And finally, a little real-worldism in approaching any disagreement: In the heat of the moment, most of us are about as able to speak calmly and listen with an open mind as we are to flap our wings and fly to the corner store. Following the lead of parents with tantrummy children, you could preplan to say “Hey, let’s take a time out” when things get heated. You could each briefly go off on your own (take a walk around the block, take a bath) and consider whether the other might maybe, POSSIBLY have a point. In this case, for example, you two are sharing a home, not running a hotel— which is why you have a cat, not a concierge, and there’s no engraved note informing guests that they will be socked with a credit card charge if they make off with your ratty bathrobe.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): French writer Sim-

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Beat Gener-

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Curcumin is a chemical found in the plant turmeric. When ingested by humans, it may diminish inflammation, lower the risk of diabetes, support cardiovascular health, and treat digestive disorders. But there’s a problem: the body is inefficient in absorbing and using curcumin—unless it’s ingested along with piperine, a chemical in black pepper. Then it’s far more available. What would be the metaphorical equivalent to curcumin in your life? An influence that could be good for you, but that would be even better if you synergized it with a certain additional influence? And what would be the metaphorical equivalent of that additional influence? Now is a good time to investigate these questions.

ation of American poets arose in the late 1940s as a rebellion against materialistic mainstream culture and academic poetry. It embraced sexual liberation, Eastern spirituality, ecological awareness, political activism, and psychedelic drugs. One of its members, Jack Kerouac, tweaked and ennobled the word “beat” to serve as the code name for their movement. In its old colloquial usage, “beat” meant tired or exhausted. But Kerouac re-consecrated it to mean “upbeat” and “beatific,” borrowing from the Italian word beato, translated as “beatific.” I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because you’re on the verge of a similar transition: from the old meaning of “beat” to the new.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I have the usual capacity for wanting what may not even exist,” wrote poet Galway Kinnell. How abut you, Scorpio? Do you, too, have an uncanny ability to long for hypothetical, invisible, mythical, and illusory things? If so, I will ask you to downplay that amazing power of yours for a while. It’s crucial for your future development that you focus on yearning for actual experiences, real people, and substantive possibilities. Please understand: I’m not suggesting you’re bad or wrong for having those seemingly impossible desires. I’m simply saying that for now you will thrive on being attracted to things that are genuinely available.

GEMINI (May 21June 20): “Scattered

times I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in,” wrote Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. I’m guessing you’ve had that experience—maybe more than usual, of late. But I suspect you’ll soon be finding ways to express those embryonic feelings. Congrats in advance! You’ll discover secrets you’ve been concealing from yourself. You’ll receive missing information whose absence has made it hard to understand the whole story. Your unconscious mind will reveal the rest of what it has thus far merely been hinting at.

through the ordinary world, there are books and artifacts and perhaps people who are like doorways into impossible realms, of impossible and contradictory truth.” Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges said that, and now I’m passing it on to you—just in time for your entrance into a phase when such doorways will be far more available than usual. I hope you will use Borges’ counsel as a reminder to be alert for everyday situations and normal people that could lead you to intriguing experiences and extraordinary revelations and life-changing blessings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Free Will Astrology Committee To Boldly Promote Cancerian’s Success is glad to see that you’re not politely waiting for opportunities to come to you. Rather, you’re tracking them down and proactively wrangling them into a form that’s workable for your needs. You seem to have realized that what you had assumed was your fair share isn’t actually fair; that you want and deserve more. Although you’re not being mean and manipulative, neither are you being overly nice and amenable; you’re pushing harder to do things your way. I approve! And I endorse your efforts to take it even further.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Many experts who have studied the art and science of running fast believe that it’s best if a runner’s legs are symmetrical and identical in their mechanics. But that theory is not supported by the success of champion sprinter Usain Bolt. Because he has suffered from scoliosis, his left leg is a half-inch longer than his right. With each stride, his left leg stays on the track longer than his right, and his right hits the track with more force. Some scientists speculate that this unevenness not only doesn’t slow him down, but may in fact enhance his speed. In accordance with current astrological variables, I suspect you will be able to thrive on your asymmetry in the coming weeks, just as your fellow Leo Usain Bolt does. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo adventurer Jason Lewis traveled around the world using transportation powered solely by his own body. He walked, bicycled, skated, rowed, pedaled, and swam more than 46,000 miles. I propose that we make him your role model for the next four weeks. You’re primed to accomplish gradual breakthroughs through the use of simple, persistent, incremental actions. Harnessing the power of your physical vitality will be an important factor in your success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): All over the world, rivers and lakes are drying up. Sources of water are shrinking. Droughts are becoming more common and prolonged. Why? Mostly because of climate change. The good news is that lots of people are responding to the crisis with alacrity. Among them is an engineer in India named Ramveer Tanwar. Since 2014, he has organized efforts leading to the rejuvenation of twelve dead lakes and ponds. I propose we make him your role model for the coming weeks. I hope he will inspire you to engage in idealistic pursuits that benefit other people. And I hope you’ll be motivated to foster fluidity and flow and wetness everywhere you go. The astrological time is ripe for such activities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A blogger named Caramelizee offered her definition of elegance: “being proud of both your feminine and masculine qualities; seeing life as a non-ending university and learning everything you can; caring for yourself with tender precision; respecting and taking advantage of silences; tuning in to your emotions without being oversensitive; owning your personal space and being generous enough to allow other people to own their personal space.” This definition of elegance will be especially apropos and useful for you Aquarians in the coming weeks. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You Pisceans have been summoning heroic levels of creative intensity. You’ve been working extra hard and extra smart. But it seems that you haven’t been fully recognized or appreciated for your efforts. I’m sorry about that. Please don’t let it discourage you from continuing to express great integrity and authenticity. Keep pushing for your noble cause and offering your best gifts. I’m proud of you! And although you may not yet have reaped all the benefits you will ultimately sow, three months from now I bet you’ll be pleased you pushed so hard to be such a righteous servant of the greater good.
