We made it to the end of January—so congrats, all you Dry January participants: your month of temperance is nearly at an end. I tried, then stopped trying because Omicron. Now I’m trying again. Also, where did January go?! For those who, like me, have escaped Omicron’s clutches, I suspect the month flew by on account of us covering for those who weren’t so fortunate. But as Jack Harvel’s news story details, things on the staffing front are improving, with more people now filling job vacancies. For those interested in the ongoing science around COVID-19 treatments, check out this week’s Smoke Signals, where we talk with one of the researchers who discovered how hemp may help battle the virus. That and so much more is inside this week’s issue, and as always, thanks for reading!

hether you’re an employer who’s been tasked with filling all those vacant jobs recently or you’re a consumer who’s been inconvenienced by business closures and delays, most of us have been affected by the pandemic’s Great Resignation in one way or another. Labor advocates have been pretty clear about why it’s happening and how to fix that particular problem: Pay people more—especially on the low end of the wage spectrum. In Bend, where home prices exceed what the average working family earning local salaries can afford, wages have long been a source of frustration. Lately, employers have been dangling the carrots of signing bonuses and flexible schedules in order to attract new workers. Employers have also—as those labor leaders have often mentioned— increased wages significantly, according to a Jan. 21 report from Josh Lehner of the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis. Oregon’s unemployment rate is now at 4.1%—still higher than the boom times of 2017-19, but lower than it’s been otherwise, and translating into wage gains for workers. “Average wages are up 17% since the start of the pandemic, and total wages and salaries in the state are 11% above pre-pandemic levels,” Lehner wrote. “Our office’s forecast for wages has never been stronger, despite a somewhat lower employment outlook tied to the recession and slower population growth.” Some workers, attracted by higher pay, will decide it’s now worth it to go back to work. Some will weigh the cost of child care against their now-higher pay and determine it’s feasible to re-enter the labor market. With a tight labor market and wages increasing, Lehner expects that the labor market in Oregon will make a full recovery in 2022.

For employers, and for those who have had to wait in a long line at a local business—or have even had to forego their visit due to a temporary staffing closure—seeing people return to work is a positive sign. Still, it comes at a cost that we are already seeing on grocery store shelves and at takeout windows. When a business has to pay workers more to attract and keep them, most will pass that increase on to the customer—and that part, unfortunately, doesn’t necessarily come with a rosy outlook, nor a rosy end date. “Inflation is not costless,” Lehner wrote in a Dec. 29 post. “When prices get too high, people stop buying. This feeds back into the production side of the economy. If sales slow, then firms do not need to produce as much, or employ as many workers. Now, this process typically results in slower real growth rather than outright declines. To date the U.S. economy has not reached this point given the strong income growth. However if hot inflation persists, we eventually will.” While it’s encouraging to see wages rise, when adjusted for inflation, those gains are less striking. Deschutes County’s wages reportedly went up 10.5% in the third quarter of 2021, but when adjusted for inflation they only went up 4.9%. Economists like to paint a rosy picture and to highlight the statistics that are most likely to feed into that intangible thing called “consumer confidence.” And while we see rising wages as a benefit to the people in our community who are most on the margins, those rising wages won’t exist in a vacuum. The next time you sail through the grocery store line but pay $5 for something that was $4 last week, you’ll be experiencing both the benefits and the drawbacks of the weird time in history that we are now living through.

The Source Opinion column on January 20 addressed the issue of “Low Voter Turnout,” but that might be what happens when some voters don’t have a voice! On January 3, 2022, at 8:04am the Deschutes County Clerk’s Office updated the voter registration database. At that time there were 153,912 voters across the county registered to vote in federal elections. Of those 31% are registered for the Democratic Party, 29% for the Republican Party, 33% are not affiliated with any party, and the remaining 7% are registered for one of the seven other minor parties. That means a total of 40% of Deschutes County voters are not affiliated with one of the two major parties in the state. These voters may, or may not, realize that their May 2022 primary ballot will not allow them to vote in any partisan race. For example, Oregon has U.S. Senate and House races, the governor’s seat and two of the three Deschutes County Commissioner seats on the primary ballot in May. Only those voters who are registered as Republican or Democrat will be allowed to weigh in on who goes to the general election for those races next November. Unaffiliated voters in Deschutes County—do you care about which candidates will be on your November ballot for US Senate/ Representative, for governor or county commissioner? If so, the last day to register for the May 17 primary election is April 26. If you want to make your voice heard in the primary, go to the Oregon Secretary of State website and declare a party. A party change has no long-lasting effect! Your new party affiliation will only stay with you until you decide to change it again. The League of Women Voters of Deschutes County believes that every vote and every voter is important. We want to remind voters to check their registration status before the April 26, 2022, deadline to make any changes. — Respectfully Submitted by The League of Women Voters of Deschutes County

Bend Park and Recreation District has so much to offer and they do a fine job of it! Our parks are well designed and plentiful, offering outdoor recreational opportunities for everyone. And the District now has two Recreation Centers for indoor fitness and enrichment opportunities. If you haven’t yet checked out the new Larkspur Center, you are truly missing out! But today I want to give a shout out specifically to the instructors! Over the past couple of years I have taken time to sample a variety of fitness classes. Whether it be water aerobics, strength and tone, Zumba, Bliss Dance Workout, or any one of the four different types of yoga classes I have attended, each and every instructor has been top notch. These ladies are personable, knowledgeable, professional and, best of all, they make fitness fun! Thank you, Bend Park and Rec instructors, for being there for all of us. — Ida Green Gurule

MR. 47% Candidate for redistricted Congressional District 5—our district as of November— Rep. K. Schrader declares he is a progressive and has been doing all he can to address the climate crises. This missive covers two points: what is meant by Mr. 47% and more importantly, who funds this unlikely progressive regarding the climate crises. Redistricted CD5 includes most of Bend and amoebic-like extends northwesterly into southern Portland. That shape excludes voters who used to see Schrader on their ballots and includes voters who were previously in another district. Specifically, 53% of new CD5 voters do not see him as an incumbent. Only 47% will have had his representation in the past. He is not an incumbent to the majority. Thus, he is Mr. 47%. Schrader serves on the U.S. Energy and Commerce Committee. Great seat

to address the climate crises. ECC oversees many federal entities, notably; Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Conflict of interestingly, Schrader is totally in the pocket of polluting carbon corporations; Koch Industries, Exxon Mobil, BP Corp, Chevron Employees, Conoco/Phillips Spirit, American Petroleum Institute, Petroleum Marketers Associates of America, Marathon Petroleum Corp, Valero Energy Corp, Phillips 66, Duke Energy and Haliburton Co. Rep. Schrader was the 6th largest recipient 2019-2020, receiving $98,000 from these PACs. We all know petroleum corporations donate expecting returns from their legislative campaign investments. FYI: Jamie McLeod-Skinner, a candidate for CD5, actually is a pragmatic progressive who has never accepted any corporate PAC donations. —Susan G. Cobb

COID—THE PROBLEM, NOT THE SOLUTION I met with Central Oregon Irrigation District via Zoom recently (after receiving a letter stating that my backyard was to be piped) and when I asked about how they’ve incentivized me to waste water, there was no response (they send out warning letters to homeowners if they don’t use enough water). When I asked about most farms not having any meters for measuring use and water running off the end of canal laterals unmeasured and unaccounted for, the direct response I received from Craig Horrell was “Look, this (piping) is going to happen.” All concerns I brought up

were quickly minimized and dismissed and Mr. Horrell had very little patience with me. COID touting themselves as water conservationists is a total joke. There is a large sum of money that they stand to gain by tapping into federal funds for their piping projects. All the while, any water that is actually “saved” is quickly wasted via other inefficient means/ contracts that they have set up…means that they financially profit from. COID has already sold the land on the canal to make money, directly incentivizes landowners’ and farmers’ water waste to make money and now wants federal funds to line their pockets and make more money. Very frustrated with how two-faced they are and how brazen they are in their tactics. —Josh Garner

Multiple Motels

The City purchased the Rainbow Motel and plans to convert it into temporary housing By Jack Harvel will be used for two to three years before it’s transitioned to a different use. The motel cost $4.55 million and sits on just over an acre of land in Bend’s Central District on Franklin Avenue. It’s just blocks away from the Second Street emergency shelter operated by Shepherd’s House— Bend’s low-barrier overnight shelter with 90 beds, and near a growing encampment on Second Street. The Rainbow Motel will likely open sooner than the Bend Value Inn on Division Street. The City purchased the Bend Value Inn with Project Turnkey Funding, a state grant for renovating motels into temporary shelters. “It will be a low-barrier shelter with a 28-room capacity. A contract with NeighborImpact is being developed to operate it. The earliest possible use of this facility would be this winter, with renovations occurring in summer 2022,” Councilor Perkins said of the Bend Value Inn space. The City had an open house planned for Jan. 25 to share plans for the remodel and a timeline to complete the improvements. Converting motels are just part of the Council’s goal to increase shelter capacity. At its regular meeting Jan. 19, it reported that they’ve met or are on track to achieve

Too Woke to Reawake

A tour featuring prominent vaccine and election-skeptic speakers moves to Salem after community backlash By Jack Harvel

Clay Clark’s Reawaken America Tour is going to Salem after being asked to commit to mask mandates.

hat do a retired general who believes in QAnon, a self-proclaimed prophet and a convicted felon who served as an advisor to Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign have in common? None will be in Redmond on April 1 and 2, as previously planned. The Reawaken America Tour booked two days in early April at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds and Expo Center featuring over 40 speakers from the right-wing media sphere, including former Trump employees Roger Stone and Michael Flynn. Stone, a campaign advisor to Trump in 2015, and Flynn, a national security advisor in the Trump White House, both were convicted on felony charges during Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged interference in the 2020 election and pardoned by the former president. The event moved to the River Church in Salem after the tour was asked to sign a contract addendum agreeing to follow mask mandates. The host of the tour, Clay Clark, said the decision to move the event was due to a preference to perform in churches, but a ticket salesperson for the event told the Source that the tour was

moving to avoid mask mandates. The River Church pastor Lew Wooten has been critical of mask and vaccine mandates, and in September 2021 helped organize a statewide work walkout in protest of them. Emails obtained by the Source revealed Troy Smith, a planner for the event, claimed he’d been assured by Deschutes County’s two Republican commissioners that mask-mandates wouldn’t be enforced, and that the Sheriff’s Office would deal with potential disruptions. Commissioner Tony DeBone said he spoke with event organizers but never gave any assurances mandates could be skirted, which Commissioner Patti Adair echoed in a text message to The Bulletin. The tickets cost $250, but discounts were offered to anyone who asked under “scholarship” pricing. Clark said the event will not distribute refunds or transfers, which ticket salespeople again contradicted, stating they could be transferred to any events that haven’t sold out. Clark defended the no refunds, no transfer policy to KTVZ, “Because I’m in charge. I’m a capitalist,” but added he’d offer refunds to people who didn’t understand the policy.

he Bend City Council authorized the purchase of the Rainbow Motel at its regular meeting Jan. 19, saying the property has potential as a temporary shelter for people experiencing homelessness as well as longer-term goals. It’s the second motel the City is converting into a shelter after receiving $2.97 million in state grant funding to convert the Bend Value Inn in July. The City Council is aiming to add 500 new shelter beds by 2023 to augment the 280 beds currently available year-round. General funds paid for the Rainbow Motel so it could eventually be used as something other than transitional housing. “Buying the motel is an opportunistic public investment that can meet a variety of short-term and long-term community needs, including but not limited to an immediate need for transitional shelter, as well as future possible site for city hall, affordable housing, a civic plaza or other public uses,” City Councilor Megan Perkins said in an update on housing strategies. The motel will be operated as a low-barrier shelter by a nonprofit selected through a competitive process. The motel is expected to open its doors in late spring or early summer, will have 40 to 60 shelter beds and

Hospitality Jobs are Back

Deschutes County is employing more hospitality workers than it did pre-pandemic, according to newest monthly estimate WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JANUARY 27, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

he Oregon Employment Department reported that accommodation and food services are employing nearly as many people as they were pre-pandemic in seasonally adjusted models. Deschutes County added 2,140 jobs total in December, and unemployment dropped to 4.3%, just 1% above a record-setting 3.3% low before the pandemic. The leisure and hospitality sector is up from 2019 levels in the most recent monthly estimate, after being devastated during the initial surge of COVID-19 and again when the Delta variant started to spread. “The industry lost a little momentum last winter with another wave of the virus but quickly rebounded again in the spring and summer of 2021. The most recent monthly estimate for Deschutes County’s accommodation and food services in November 2021 has employment levels up 2% above 2019 levels,” Damon Runberg, a regional economist for the Oregon Employment Department, wrote in a press release. The numbers may indicate a change in consumer preferences as they adapted to the pandemic. Food carts grew by more than 120% compared to pre-pandemic numbers, from 101 jobs to 185. Full-service restaurants are still trending below pre-pandemic levels by about 600 jobs or 12.7%. “This makes sense with fewer people wanting to eat indoors. We also see that coffee shops have done well too (snack and nonalcoholic beverages). Bars and other drinking places are basically back to pre-pandemic levels,” Runberg said. The numbers seem at odds with how hard it is for restaurants to return to full employment. Quit rates for the leisure

faster pace than the labor force is growing,” Runberg said. “These elevated levels of hiring demand give significant hope for a full employment recovery in 2022 but also means we will likely continue to see a very tight labor market in this sector.” Monthly employment estimates can be tricky and more detailed reports based on payroll tax records will eventually give a more precise measure of employment in Central Oregon.

“If instead we focused on the lagging but far more accurate payroll tax records, we see that the recovery may be running just a little slower than initially estimated through September 2021,” Runberg said. “These recently released payroll records reveal that restaurant and hotel employment was running around 5% below 2019 levels as of September, whereas those monthly estimates through September were showing employment levels down only 3.7%.”

Noticias en Español Una entrevista con el nuevo coordinador del programa Vámonos Outside, Wesley Heredia Por / By Nicole Vulcan Traducido por / Translated by Jéssica Sánchez-Millar educación ambiental. He dado clases en el colegio. Y por último, también he sido instructor de snowboard en Mt. Bachelor durante cuatro temporadas. Soy Mexicano Estadounidense y no crecimos— la primera parte de mi vida crecí en el centro de la ciudad de L.A. (Los Ángeles) y de verdad no tenía esas áreas verdes. No fuimos al bosque. No fuimos al desierto. Ni siquiera fuimos tanto a la playa. Al vivir en el centro de la ciudad, estas como atorado en el centro. Una vez que nos mudamos a Oregon, cuando tenía 12 años, desde ese entonces hay más áreas verdes. SW: Comparte un poquito sobre Vámonos Outside WH: Vámonos Outside es un programa que se lleva a cabo al aire libre, el cual está enfocado en servir al Latino, principalmente a la población Latina aquí en el Centro de Oregon y también para las personas de color. SW: ¿Por qué es tan importante este programa para ti? WH: Me es importante porque me llega, es algo que traigo muy dentro,

porque mientras crecía no había nada de esto que llevará a la gente afuera o que los incorporara a la vida al aire libre. Tuve que luchar para meterme en donde pudiera encontrarlo. Así que. ¿por qué es importante para mí? Porque puedo aportar lo que sé, llevar mi cultura, llevar mi experiencia como persona que creció como Mexicano Estadounidense, pero también llevar mi experiencia como persona de color que trabaja en la industria al aire libre y que la ve con perspectivas diferentes y que trata de combinar lo mejor de ambos mundos, de un grupo de personas que se han sentido desatendidas y que se sienten no vistas en muchos otros espacios. Así que estamos tratando de traerlos a la luz con tan solo proporcionar un puente hacia los espacios al aire libre. SW: Recientemente ha llevado a cabo unos eventos, comparta un poco de los recientes eventos que han tenido y cuéntenos cómo les fue. WH: Creo que el primer evento que ayudamos a arrancar fue uno llamado Jugamos Afuera coparticipando con

Campfire Central Oregon. La idea era sacar a los niños de primaria durante el aprendizaje a distancia, sacarlos al aire libre y llevarlos a un parque en el que pudieran jugar y pasar el tiempo en áreas verdes. Muy a menudo, muchos niños que forman parte de la comunidad Latina, el ir a la escuela y estar en la escuela es probablemente el único espacio que tienen para jugar afuera bajo la supervisión de un adulto. Y cuando no tenían clases, estaban metidos en su casa, jugando dentro de sus hogares. Los llevábamos al parque, a una caminata de corta distancia y jugábamos, les dábamos una botana y luego los acompañabamos de regreso a sus casas. Lo hicimos durante dos otoños. Y en el invierno, los llevamos a deslizarse sobre la nieve y a caminar sobre nieve, y en otras temporadas del año los llevamos a hacer caminatas. También los llevamos al gimnasio de escalada. Y de verdad que les encanta tan solo saltar por todos lados y también escalar las paredes. Así que, la idea es sacarlos de la casa y llevarlos a practicar nuevas actividades.

8 BIG WAYS FEATURE

YOU CAN HELP OUR WATERS A trip to the Pacific Ocean is more than four hours away by car. But our day-to-day decisions can make an impact on ocean health By Andy Brack

he ocean is big – really, really big.* It’s so “vastly hugely mind-bogglingly” big you may not think it needs your help. But consider the daily global degradation from pesticides, detergents, sewage, plastic (33 billion tons of it annually), oil spills and dumping. On top of that, add how warming seas are causing habitat destruction and overfishing is depleting bounties that have fed people for centuries. Fortunately, there is a net full of specific actions you can take to help to turn it around, as highlighted by ideas shared by a dozen water leaders and conservationists. They agree the compounded effect of these small acts of kindness can benefit coastal ecosystems, improve local waters and, in turn, help the ocean recover from years of harmful use. “Protecting and resourcing our coastal waterways is essential for ensuring our right to fish, swim and enjoy the water without fear of pollution or getting sick,” said Charleston Waterkeeper Andrew Wunderley. “More than that, their health is our health — we too often overlook the connection between environmental health and human health.” This story got its start during the reading of “The Ocean: The Ultimate Handbook of

Nautical Knowledge” (2021) by North Carolina writer Chris Dixon and Jeremy Spencer of Portland, Oregon. While it offers a plethora of wisdom and short master classes on “everything from ancient skills to cutting-edge science,” it also is a broad array of things one can learn about and from the ocean. In that spirit, we offer a list of practical things you can do to help local waters and make more of a difference globally. * Apologies to Douglas Adams, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” 1979. 1. Enjoy the water Get into the water and have fun. The more that you get to the beach or enjoy rivers, the deeper you will grow to love it and want to work to protect it, several people said. “Whether you are young or old, the first step is connection,” said Hannah Giddens, science coordinator at Patriots Point, a Naval and Maritime museum. “Understanding that all water moves downstream and eventually—whether in short or very long periods of time—makes its way into our oceans is a behavior-changing notion. … If you start to ponder all of the ways the ocean affects us then it is much easier to make wise choices in our daily lives.” Flickr

Port Orford, Oregon, supports boat-to-table sustainable fishing.

Marine biologist Carolyn Sotka and Wunderley encouraged people to paddleboard, kayak, surf, explore, learn to crab, fish, take tours and swim in tidal creeks. “Walk the beach in early morning looking for turtle tracks,” Wunderley said. “The more you experience your waterways firsthand, the more in tune and connected you’ll be with their natural and healthy rhythms.” Be a responsible boater. “Boating is in its own right enjoyable recreation, whether power boating or sailing or using a personal watercraft,” said Scott Gudes, a past interim administrator of the National Oceans and Atmospheric Administration. “Being close to the elements, those out on the water are often natural advocates for wise stewardship of the seas.” He encouraged boaters to wear life jackets, be careful when refueling, gather and dispose of trash appropriately and respect speed limits to prevent

endangerment of marine life and coastal erosion. Be a conservationist angler. Gudes, a former vice president of the American Sportfishing Association, also encouraged fishermen to do what they could to ensure fish remain abundant by complying with state and federal regulations, harvesting only what they consume (even if the fishing is really good), practicing catch-and-release methods, and “packing out” discarded plastic and lines to keep them out of the ecosystem. “Take a kid fishing or similar activity, like shrimp baiting,” he said. “Over 90% of today’s anglers were introduced to sportfishing by their parents, relatives or friends.” 2. Be sustainable About half of the 10 people interviewed encouraged consumers to eat sustainable seafood.

FEATURE

3. Protect waterways There are several actions that go beyond not littering or picking up trash by litterers. Conserve water. Mills explains that just 3% of the earth’s water is fresh so if we conserve it, we won’t have to treat as much. “Don’t let your faucet run, fix leaks, take briefer showers and wash your car less,” he said. “Many parts of the world today have no reliable access to drinking water, and climate change and overpopulation threaten water security everywhere.” You can also use more cold water, use eco-friendly detergents and run water-using appliances only when full. Help to restore oyster beds. You can recycle oyster shells to help build new oyster beds. “People can donate oyster shells from backyard roasts or work with community-based restoration programs… to take part in marsh planting or oyster reef construction,” said Natalie Olson of the Lowcountry Open Land Trust. Protect beaches and wild places. “Turn off lights at night that distract sea turtles, eliminate harmful fertilizers and insecticides from your lawn, join a beach or stream clean-up, plant a tree and acknowledge the beauty of the life that is all around,” said Mills. 4. Be stewards of the land, too Sharon E. Richardson, a land conservationist, suggests caring for local waterways and the ocean starts with better stewardship of land. “When I worry about the ocean health, I think about the almost estuarine ecosystem collapse that almost happened [in 2015] with salinity levels that were inundated post-Hurricane Joaquin,” said Richardson, who operates a consultancy called Resilient Lands Matter. Grow more marsh. “Marsh isn’t keeping up with sea-level rise,” she said, suggesting a project by federal and state authorities to elevate marshes near places where roads are flooding to dissipate storm surge. Grow more resilient grasses. “An acre of turf grass holds 10 times more [water] if it’s native plants with their deep root zones,” Richardson said. “So the big bang for the buck in all open grassy spaces is to convert them to seasonal warm grasses and pollinators for a 10-fold increase in flood storage capacity. The co-benefit is because of the deep roots, native plants sequester more carbon dioxide.” Donate conservation easements. Landowners can help protect salt marshes by granting conservation

easements to protect non-developed areas forever, Olson said. Incentivize more green infrastructure. State and local governments can cut carbon and reduce climate change by incentivizing more green infrastructure, several said. The state could change guidelines for homeowners’ associations to let people steer away from traditional lawns, Richardson said. Elected officials could promote more solar, incentivize use of energy-saving green roofs and change plants in public and open spaces. Promote beach resilience. “South Carolina’s leaders for many years have promoted natural coastal resiliency, such as protecting sand dunes and grasses,” Gudes said. “Such efforts to promote community resilience to coastal storms are now being promoted at the national level.” 5. Get greener intentionally Here is a list of specific actions you can do to get greener intentionally at home. Eliminate single-use plastics. There was almost universal recognition by conservationists that a huge way to help the ocean was to cut use of plastic plates, forks, cups, bottles, spoons and more. “Single-use plastics are flawed by design: They use a material made to last forever but are designed to be thrown away and are sometimes only used for a few moments before polluting the earth for years to come,” said Samantha Siegel, Southeast senior field representative for Oceana. “Today, nearly 40% of the plastic produced annually is for single-use plastics and packaging, and unsurprisingly, that’s what we’re seeing on our beaches, too. “ Public action to reduce their use, such as a ban on plastic bags, works, Siegel said. Monitor personal care products and pharmaceuticals. Some skin products include plastic microbeads that can wash down drains and enter waterways and then fish. “Choose an alternative product without these items in them,” Giddens said. “If you want to be a bit more heavy-hitting, you can try more natural products.” Similarly, don’t flush old or unused drugs down the drain. Dispose properly through your pharmacy. Properly dispose of machine fluids. You shouldn’t change car oil or fluids on the street or near a storm drain. Maintain vehicles to make sure they’re not leaking, Giddens said. Garden consciously. Be careful with fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides in your yard so they don’t run off into area streams. Don’t use them when it rains. (Better yet, find a natural alternative.) Be careful with sunscreens. NOAA advises that some chemicals in sunscreens can harm corals and other marine life. Use sunscreens without harmful chemicals, Gideons said. Get rid of the two-stroke motor. Replace with a four-stroke motor, Dixon said. “Most two-stroke oil-burning gas motors are horrible polluters of air and water.”

The calm waters of Garibaldi, Oregon, belie the ecological dangers facing our oceans.

Reduce your carbon footprint. “The carbon in the atmosphere is absorbed by our oceans which causes them to become more acidic, adversely impacting marine plants and animals and in turn, us,” said Emily Cedzo of the S.C. Coastal Conservation League. “To ensure the ocean can still exist, much less thrive, we must reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.” 6. Learn about the water Teach people about the environment. “Sometimes the easiest way to do that is to help people find ways to enjoy the outdoors through nature walks and litter sweeps,” Cedzo said. Promote ocean literacy. Gudes, a former staffer of the late U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings, D-S.C., said the senator’s pivotal role in legislation to protect the oceans led to state and federal programs to educate people about the marine environment. Educate yourself about your local waterways. “Learn their history, their culture and their ecology,” Wunderley said. “You’ll develop a deeper understanding of just how wonderful and special our rivers and creeks really are. You’ll also learn to enjoy them more.” He added people should learn the rules governing use of waterways. 7. Advocate/participate Vote. “Electing public officials who support good ocean policies can help us protect marine life and our oceans,” Siegel said. “Do your research on candidates and make an informed decision, then exercise your right and responsibility to vote.” Get engaged in issues. “Take action to protect the ocean,” Cedzo said. “Whether it’s opposing offshore drilling or supporting protections for the endangered right whale, there’s a lot of information out there, so get some help gathering it. You

can send emails or make calls to local, state and national elected officials or speak at public meetings.” Also: Sign up for emails from conservation organizations. Connect with local conservation organizations. “You’ll find smart, hard-working, active people with deep connections to their communities and a pathway to becoming a clean water steward yourself,” Wunderley said. In Central Oregon, some of those include Oregon Wild, the Deschutes Land Trust, the Deschutes River Conservancy, Coalition for the Deschutes, Trout Unlimited, the Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory, the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council, the Oregon Natural Desert Association, The Environmental Center, The Conservation Alliance and the Oregon League of Conservation Voters, among many more. Become a conservation leader. “Never underestimate your power to make a difference, through volunteerism, recycling, political advocacy, sharing via social media or engagement in citizen science programs,” Mills said. 8. Support leaders, organizations Donate to conservation organizations. Get involved in one of the organizations listed above—and then follow up with dollars. Support conservation-minded elected officials. Give to their campaigns to help them stay in office to lead on conservation issues. Giddens, the educator, reflected that advocates can get more buy-in for conservation efforts by engaging people. “When folks get talked down to, they tend to reject ideas,” she said. “The more we can connect people to the water, wherever they may be geographically or in their situation in life or with their beliefs, the more success will be had.” —This feature story is brought to you by our partners at the “Charleston City Paper,” where the story first appeared.

Choose local, sustainable seafood. Look for seafood approved by the Marine Stewardship Council or listed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch.” Join a community-supported fishery. “You buy sustainably caught fish and you’re not putting money into factory fishing vessels operating illegally across the globe,” Dixon said. In Oregon, boat-to-table opportunities exist out of both Port Orford and Garibaldi.—a bit of a drive, to be sure, but evidence of a growing movement.

New music from Olivia Knox, Elisha David… and to no surprise, the "Encanto" soundtrack has taken over By Isaac Biehl Courtesy of Pacific Wonderland

appy new year, everybody! I’m glad to be writing the first Source Material of 2022 because the year in music has started off pretty well so far. But to begin, I have to shout out something that was born last year—which would be the absolutely fantastic soundtrack from the movie “Encanto.” At the beginning of the month, “Encanto” found itself atop the Billboard 200 charts the week of Jan. 15, and after not going back to back it has managed to soar up to number one again. I fell in love with the soundtrack when it came out in theaters last November, but if you aren’t familiar, try starting with “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” which is officially the highest charting Disney original song since “Frozen’s” “Let It Go” reached number five in 2014. ”Bruno” actually went number one on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart and number four on the Hot 100. Both the movie and soundtrack deserve to be celebrated, and I have no problem saying it’s one of the best Disney soundtracks ever made. Now, to the new releases. Read below for monthly music recommendations from January.

“Gorgeous” - Olivia Knox Newly moved to LA, Bendite Olivia Knox is kicking off the year in a big way with her new song “Gorgeous,” a glimmering pop anthem that will creep its way into your head with a sweetness like candy. With its feelgood message, “Gorgeous” will have you feeling bright even on your worst days, with lines like, “Got the energy right I’m floating, cloud nine baby I feel gorgeous.” This is the song to play when you get ready for the day or a night out. You’ll be feeling upbeat and positive, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself singing the hook hours later—it’s both catchy and warm as Knox delivers a successful introduction to her sound and style. “Pacific Wonderland” - Elisha David

Over the last few years Elisha David has been releasing these great, mostly-instrumental albums that all vary in theme and sound, and “Pacific Wonderland” marks another win for David. Recorded at Soundsmith Studios in Bend, the

sounds on his latest effort make quite the cool mix. With a classical base, David and guests push the boundaries of those contemporary rules as they experiment with synths, harpsichord, banjo, guitar, a theremin, cello, some household items and even more. The album makes you feel like you’re basking under the golden hour sun by a lake one minute (“Temperance Creek”), then tackling a hike that feels like an epic journey the next (“Wildwood”). Music can be a very visual experience, and “Pacific Wonderland” strikes those chords perfectly as it takes you on a trip through our region. National Beats

“SICK!” - Earl Sweatshirt Earl Sweatshirt is back and man, it feels good, with what some could argue is his best album… ever? It’s hard to say because Earl has been a lyrical force since he was a teenager, and nothing has changed on “Sick!” except for maybe he’s made his clever rhymes more accessible. This doesn’t mean he took a step back with his deep-hitting and poetry-like lines; rather, it’s his delivery that makes the songs on this album stick out. He’s precise in the way he tells his stories, as “Sick!” is influenced by feelings of his new life as a father and also the ongoing pandemic. From the fluttering beat on “2010,” to the Zelooperz feature on “Vision,” there are plenty of highlightable moments. “Sick!” will definitely be hanging around the conversation for best rap albums in 2022.

This Earl Sweatshirt set is sicker than ever.

THE THIRD ACT

Indoor Sports WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JANUARY 27, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Ellen Waterston

On ageing and sex

emember “Tuesdays with Morrie?” Published in 1997, it recounted conversations between Morris (Morrie) Schwartz, nearly 80 and approaching the end stage of A.L.S., and Mitch Albom, a former student of Professor Schwartz’s at Brandeis University. The book sold an astounding 15 million copies! Why? Rachel Syme, the author of “Pearl Hunting” in the Jan. 3 & 10, 2022, issue of the New Yorker, ascribes the book’s popularity to a predatory tendency alive and well today: young adults seeking to mine wisdom from the old. The closer to death’s door the older person is the more prescient their most clichéd statements are regarded. Syme writes, “Eager not to waste our lives, we tend to devour lessons from people approaching the end of theirs. There’s something macabre about this appetite, the way it turns an aging mind into a consumable product.” She calls them “comforting mantras from the edge of existence.” “Love each other or perish,” and “Money is not a substitute for tenderness,” are two of Morrie’s. The hunt for insights from the over-thehill gang continues today in podcasts, such as “70 Over 70,” and books. One is Stephen Petrow’s reverse-psychology approach in, “Stupid Things I Won’t Do When I Get Old: A Highly Judgmental, Unapologetically Honest Accounting of All the Things Our Elders Are Doing Wrong.” For young adults it’s tricky because they both do and don’t want to know what the view is at the brink of death. The sage advice from the graveside, if adhered to, might guarantee a longer life. Then again there’s the possibility that hanging around the elderly might accelerate their own exit. In case you missed the memo, being old is not something to be avoided, nor can you; not a faux pas, staved off with 7,000 steps a day and a Mediterranean diet, hidden with tucks and lifts, and ultimately summed up in platitudes for young adults to live by. Rather, the last part of life can be the best and certainly is the most courageous and inventive. That perspective has been around at least since the 1800s when Robert Browning wrote, “Grow old along with me!/ The best is yet to be./ The last of life, for which the first was made.” If Baby Boomers and a growing number of outspoken 80-year-olds are right, Robert Browning’s “best” includes indoor sports, a definite change in tone and topic to the Third Act conversation. Should the notion of late-in-the-game sex be news to you, there’s a spate of information on the subject keeping pace with the graying of Boomers. Check out

“The Joys (and Challenges) of Sex After 70” in the Jan. 16, 2022, edition of The New York Times. (“…a quarter of participants ages 75 to 85 said they had sex in the last year… And almost one-quarter… were doing it once a week — or more. Along with pleasure, they may be getting benefits that are linked to sex: a stronger immune system, improved cognitive function, cardiovascular health in women and lower odds of prostate cancer.”) Or “Sex and Seniors: The 70-Year Itch,” HealthDay June 2021. (“Use it or lose it,” says geriatrics expert Walter M. Bortz. “If you stay interested, stay healthy, stay off medications, and have a good mate, then you can have good sex all the way to the end of life. And although not everyone wants or needs an active sex life, many people continue to be sexual all their lives…”) Or Jane Fonda’s book “Prime Time” (“If you’ve loved before, you can love again, and the same is true for sex. If there was a time in your life you enjoyed sex, you can recover that pleasure—if you want to—because Cupid’s bow is undeterred by age. In fact it may fly truer and land deeper.” A fictional gem is “Our Souls at Night” by Kent Haruf. For the children of seniors getting it on, there’s a definite “spare me” factor when imagining their older parents, whether long-married or recently re-partnered, engaging in sex. Platitudes on a life well lived, yes. But don’t include advice on sex! However, as evidenced in recent books and articles, the ageing population has important words of wisdom to offer on what true intimacy is and can be. For all sorts of reasons associated with ageing, conventional ideas of sex no longer apply, but when creatively substituted, the experience is the real intimate deal. When someone lovingly traces your lines, you are redrawn. When someone truly loves you for who you are, wrinkles and all, you are truly beheld. And although the exterior packaging might be less than what it was, another pearl confirmed by elders is that they’re as adolescent as ever on the inside…hopeful, brash, impetuous, romantic, lonely and seeking bromides to live by as much as anyone else. The (soap) opera’s never over. And that’s good news. —Poet and author Ellen Waterston is a woman of a certain age who resides in Bend. “The Third Act” is a series of columns on ageing and ageism.

Spud Bisque

Winter is for soups. This one makes a hearty meal, made many different ways

By Nicole Vulcan

By Ari Levaux

Go, fish! The Grove gets all fresh with it.

A bisque that can be made many different ways can please various members of the family.

pasta pot to thicken the marinara. Potato broth thickens the sauce even more, giving each morsel of rigatoni a creamy flavor reminiscent of gnocchi, a pasta made with mashed potato. The bacon with which I had started the project, intended as a nod to carbonara, also turns out to be a perfect complement to potato soup. My leftover pasta, smothered in a luxurious red sauce, soft as gnocchi, was a joy to behold and consume—in that order, because it was so pretty I had to photograph it. Alas, it turned cold before I could eat it. But with another ladle of Spud Bisque dumped over the top, the dish was all the more delish. Spud Bisque This soup is beloved by the kids, who are the toughest taste testers in town, and by cooks, who realize this potato bisque can go in anything. My wife even makes potato sourdough rolls with the stuff. Make a double batch and freeze some for later. I wouldn’t give it more than three days in the fridge. I use a mix of russets, which atomize the most easily, mixed with some boutique varieties to make the flavor more interesting and complex. 2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cubed 2 large onions, sliced in half end to end 1 stick butter 1 cup white wine 3 large carrots, cut in half 3 stalks of celery, or the butt end of a celery head after the stalks were cut off

1 sprig fresh thyme or tablespoon dried Optional: stew meat or bones, or beef stock Cook the potatoes in at least a gallon of water in the pressure cooker for 60 minutes (or simmer in a pot, covered, until falling apart. At least two hours). While that happens, preheat the oven to 350. Place the onions in a small pan, cut sides down. Add the butter and wine and bake for about two hours. When the potatoes are done cooking and have cooled to the point where you can work with them, pour the pressure cooker contents, including the water, into the basket of a pasta cooker. With an appropriate utensil, mash the potatoes in the pasta basket. Add the carrots, celery and thyme to the mashed potatoes in the basket, and enough cold water to cover everything. Bring to a simmer. After an hour, stir it very well to help the remaining potato pieces break apart. Add the onions and butter, rinsing the pan with ladles full from the pot to make sure all the onion and butter juices make it to the pot. Simmer for an hour or two. By that time most of the potatoes will be in small enough pieces that they can filter through the pasta strainer and into the broth below If using meat, bones or stock, add them along with the carrots. But if you want the cleanest, purest potato stock for use in cooking other dishes, then you might want to skip adding bones or bouillon. The potato stock IS the flavor, and the thickener, that you can add to whatever is next.

A Fresh Fish Market for NWX A new fish market and seafood cafe held its grand opening at The Grove in Northwest Crossing in Bend this month. Sebastian’s Seafood & Specialty Market offers a full-service seafood case as well as ready-to-eat seafood and sushi, along with a seafood cafe menu that includes Firecracker Calamari, Fish and Chips, a Lobster Roll and other seafood sandwiches. Owner Sebastian Galletti grew up in a family that runs a seafood distribution, wholesale and retail business in California, so after working in the family business for 10 years it was a natural choice to open his own operation. Galletti’s ties to the seafood industry are a benefit to customers, he said. “I’ve got a lot of sourcing behind me,” Galletti told the Source. “I’ve had an exploding response from every single item—there’s something there for everybody.” Sebastian’s has fresh and frozen seafood delivered by three different companies six days a week, with 80% coming from his own family’s business, he said. Sebastian’s fills a hole in the Bend market; before opening, grocery stores were the only places to get fresh seafood in the area. Sebastian’s Seafood & Specialty Market 921 Mt.

ongee is a pan-Asian dish beloved wherever rice is grown. It goes by other names, and comes in many different flavors, but the core principle never changes. Cook the rice into a starchy cloud, flavored with the likes of ginger, chives and hoisin sauce. Eat it when comfort food is called for. Nothing against rice, but I wanted to try making congee with local starches. I bought a bunch of different varieties of potatoes, including Huckleberry, Mozart and Rose Finn, along with a few other wintertime ingredients, and brought them back to my laboratory of culinary science. That is where I invented Spud Bisque. It is as thick as any roux-based soup, with a grounding, fungal flavor. It’s completely satisfying served as is, with a garnish of chopped greens and mayo, and the kids love it, which is the ultimate threshold to clear. It’s also very useful as an ingredient. Think of it as a stock that thickens. Gluten-free. In my opinion, the single most important tool for soup making is a big pot with a pasta boiler insert that you can remove, along with its contents, from the bubbling cauldron. I make a lot more soup than pasta, and I use the pasta insert every time. It allows for the cooking of every part of the plant or animal in your soup, including parts some find unsavory, like bones or cartilage of a take-out chicken, or the root end of an onion or the non-root end of a carrot, or the butt of celery. You can cook those parts as long as you wish, letting their goodness into your soup, and then remove them whenever you like. The other most important piece of “souping gear” is an electric pressure cooker—like an Instant Pot. This device will cook anything to the point of softness, including beans, bones or potatoes. When making Spud Bisque, we want the potatoes as soft as smoke. One hour in the pressure cooker and the potatoes—or what’s left of them—are ready for the pasta cooker, and the second part of the recipe. My favorite way to use Spud Bisque is to make a little stew. Start by frying diced carrot, celery and onion in olive oil. Then add diced meat from the chicken whose bones were in that pasta boiler. After about 10 minutes add some Spud Bisque. Simmer 15 minutes. If you like chicken pot pie, you will love this stew. Cooks often use starchy water from the

THE 355: This looks like a smarter take on “The Expendables,” but with some of the finest actresses currently working. Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Diane Kruger and Penelope Cruz decimating rooms full of bad guys sounds about perfect. Regal Old Mill

RED ROCKET: The new film from director Sean

AMERICAN UNDERDOG: I’m torn about this one because I really don’t want to see a Christian football movie about Kurt Warner, but I really like star Zachary Levi, so maybe it’s worth a shot. Regal Old Mill

REDEEMING LOVE: From the director of “Disturbia” comes a romance set during the turbulent and intense days of the California Gold Rush in 1850. With a Rotten Tomatoes critical score of 11% and an audience score of 95% the only way to know if this is good is to actually see it for ourselves. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House

BENEDETTA: A sexy and intense nun movie from the director of “Robocop” and “Starship Troopers” is the perfect movie meal for those in need of some bonkers cinema. A genuinely fascinating and well-crafted film. Tin Pan Theater THE KING’S DAUGHTER: This is a weird one: A

fantasy drama starring Pierce Brosnan as King Louis XIV that follows the historical king as he seeks immortality by stealing the life essence of a mermaid. What’s even weirder is this has been sitting on the shelf for over seven years and is just getting released now. That can’t be a good sign. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House

THE KING’S MAN: The long-delayed prequel to the “Kingsman” franchise brings in the astoundingly good Ralph Fiennes to act as the classiness missing from the absent Colin Firth. It looks like a blast, but does anyone care enough about the franchise to need a prequel at this point? Regal Old Mill LICORICE PIZZA: The new film from one of the

greatest living directors, P.T. Anderson, “Licorice Pizza” is another one of his L.A. movies set in the ‘70s after “Boogie Nights” and “Inherent Vice.” This is right up there with “Punch Drunk Love” in the realm of oddball romantic comedies. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub

MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS: Don’t get me wrong,

I’m really excited for this movie, but what I really want to know is whether it can reclaim red pill/ blue pill from the right wing while also making leather trench coats and ‘90s techno music cool again. All signs point to maybe. Regal Old Mill

NIGHTMARE ALLEY: With a cast featuring Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe and a dozen other fantastic actors all being directed by the visionary Guillermo del Toro, “Nightmare Alley” is the kind of film we rarely see anymore. Film noir framing, femme fatales and old school storytelling make this one for the grown-ups. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House

PARALLEL MOTHERS: A new film from Almodovar is a cause to rejoice and with an all-time great performance from Penelope Cruz, “Parallel Mothers” is easily his best since “Volver.” If you’re a fan of the great director and actress, this is their eighth and possibly finest collaboration. Tin Pan Theater, Sisters Movie House

Baker takes another look at hidden people who float between the cracks in America. Riotously funny at times, while also being surprisingly touching when you least expect it. Tin Pan Theater

SCREAM: Another horror reboot comes our way from the franchise that probably deserves it the most. The “Scream” series has always done a great job balancing meta-humor and horror and this new entry promises more of the same. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub SING 2: Is…is that a porcupine singing U2? Regal Old Mill, McMenamins

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME: I know, I know: another Marvel movie, but I’m genuinely excited for this one to dive into the multiverse while also bridging together the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield franchises into the MCU. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is such a joy to watch as Peter Parker that I’m along for the ride no matter where this series chooses to go. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH: Easily the best Shakespeare adaptation in a decade or so, with Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand both giving astounding performances in what feels like a lost Bergman film. The black and white cinematography is absolutely breathtaking. Tin Pan Theater THE VELVET QUEEN: A documentary chronicling the nature photographer Vincent Munier as he searches the Tibetan highlands for the elusive snow leopard. This is the most meditative film I’ve seen in the theater in quite some time and will definitely make you feel like you’ve made a quick journey to Tibet. Tin Pan Theater, Sisters Movie House WEST SIDE STORY: Steven Spielberg doing a big,

epic Broadway musical sounds like heaven to this theater kid and the film itself looks like an absolutely gorgeous and faithful reproduction. Also, Rita Moreno is a national treasure and we must protect her at all costs. Regal Old Mill

May the Source Be With You SCREEN January edition: Heroes, islands and hotels By Jared Rasic

In Pod We Trust: I’m currently obsessed with this new Netflix series called “Archive 81” and the moment I found out it was based on a podcast, you can guess what I dove into with the glee of a thousand otters. The series and the podcast are both centered around a mysterious apartment building in the past and a restorer of damaged video tapes in the present whose stories combine for a disturbingly addictive creep fest that combines “Rosemary’s Baby” and “Twin Peaks” in delightful ways. However, the podcast and the show are different enough so that if you finish one, you’ll find multiple hours of fascination with the other. Both are great for completely different reasons and very much worth tumbling down a rabbit hole of paranoia while obsessing over. “Hold Up?” is another great podcast that’s been around for a while that I’m only just discovering now. The show is hosted by two sisters, Allison and Carrie Gilbert, who check out a lot of iconic romantic comedies to see if they still hold up when viewed through a modern

feminist perspective. If you’re in the mood to laugh until you cry, the episodes where they discuss “Practical Magic” and “Jerry Maguire” are pure chef’s kiss. Now Streaming I’m so happy that the first season of “Yellowjackets” managed to stick the landing. I’m struggling to get used to watching a show one week at a time in this era of binging, but “Yellowjackets” managed to pack so much intrigue and character into each episode that it was easy to spend a week going

over and over its puzzle-box mysteries in my head. Christina Ricci gives the performance of her career as the best worst friend you could ever imagine and every moment that the show spends flashing back to the wilderness reminds me of “Lost” in the best possible way. The show is still only available on Showtime, so my recommendation is to sign up for Amazon Prime’s free week of the channel and then binge the entire 10 episodes in a few sittings. I wasn’t very enraptured with James Gunn’s “Suicide Squad” movie from

last year, but the spin-off series “Peacemaker” is a hilarious digression from all things superhero. Following John Cena’s titular character as he tries to navigate being less of a violent scumbag, the show manages to be hysterical and heartbreaking at the same time. Co-starring Danielle Brooks (Taystee from “Orange is the New Black”), this show is perfect for those who like a little hilarity and ultra-violence with their comic books. Also, Peacemaker has a pet eagle named Eagley that is by far the best sidekick on TV.

Hemp, the Next Great COVID Fighter? WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JANUARY 27, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

A chat with one of the researchers who discovered that hemp (but not its psychoactive cousin) molecules show vaccine-like potential to prevent COVID-19 By Jeremy Dickman

new weapon to fight COVID-19 may have been uncovered by researchers at Oregon State University and Oregon Health & Science University this month. Richard van Breemen, a professor at OSU’s College of Pharmacy and the Linus Pauling Institute, released a study published Jan. 10 in the “Journal of Natural Products,” which demonstrates how certain hemp molecules can bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (the pinhead-looking molecule we have all seen in news graphics for 23 months) and potentially prevent the virus from entering human cells and causing infection. “It’s the same general mechanism by which the vaccines work,” van Breemen explained. “There is a specific interaction between the coronavirus spike protein and human receptors. Antibodies (resulting from vaccines) stop that interaction.” The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines against COVID-19 are made from “messenger” RNA molecules, which teach our cells how to make a protein that will trigger an immune response inside our bodies. That immune response is then activated when the real COVID-19 virus enters our bodies. Our body is then better prepared to fight the virus. Van Breemen soon determined that there were signs that certain small hemp molecules could do functionally the same work by binding to the spike protein and blunting the protein’s ability to bind to human cells. “We hypothesized that small molecules, maybe from plants, could carry out the same prevention-type interaction,” he said. “We looked for molecules with affinity to the spike protein.” Van Breemen, along with Ruth Muchiri, research & development lab manager at the Linus Pauling Institute, invented a chemical screening technique that allowed them to identify the promising molecules that are the subject of their study. They had been hard at work since late 2020, seeking grants and testing the efficacy of hemp molecules and their interaction with the virus. Van Breemen says they screened numerous botanicals that are used as dietary supplements. The Global Hemp Innovation Center in Corvallis made hemp extracts available to van Breemen and Muchiri, who isolated numerous candidates before identifying two promising small hemp molecules. The pair then sent their promising research to a “level 3” containment lab at OHSU in Portland, run by Dr. Fiakadu Tafesse. Level 3 labs are used to study potentially dangerous or even lethal viruses that are transmitted through the air. These labs take enormously complicated and expensive measures to prevent viruses from escaping. Dr. Tafesse and four other individuals at OHSU then did functional testing with the virus in their secure laboratory. Together, scientists at OHSU and OSU determined that two hemp compounds— cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA)—were effective at halting the COVID spike protein from binding to human cells. Soon after, the team felt the findings warranted publication.

At a time when COVID’s Omicron variant is shutting down schools and workplaces and overloading hospitals, the news set off a small media firestorm. Professor van Breemen hardly minds. “I’m having the most fun in my career at this point,” said van Breemen, who began his work in academia as a post-doctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins in the 1980s. Hopeful as the news may be, the Omicron variant of the virus is currently 95% of new infections in the United States. And there is a paucity of evidence as to whether CBGA and CBDA can bind to all variants of SARS CoV-2. “As far as we tested, they only affect the (Alpha and Beta) variants,” van Breemen noted. Could it fight Omicron and Delta? “I hope,” van Breemen said. “Antibody therapy is hit or miss. Some work, others might not. There are chances these small molecules (of hemp) are less effective (against Delta or Omicron).” Much to the chagrin of science-minded stoners, psycho-active cannabis (tetrahydrocannbinol or “THC”) did not seem to have the same effect in stopping the virus. “In our screening essay, we were able to screen a large number of cannabinoids,” van Breemen said. “In our binding study, THC did not bind.” Indeed, fact-checking stories on the Internet have already sprung up, warning consumers that no one is claiming that smoking weed will cure COVID. When asked whether psycho-active cannabis being a controlled substance affected his ability to test it, van Breemen indicated it did not. “Our method is so sensitive, we can test with extremely low levels (of THC),” he said. Van Breemen says he hopes that clinical trials will not be far away now that the study is published. There are, of course, products already on the market that contain the CBGA and CBDA molecules. While he would not recommend specific products, van Breemen did suggest that consumers get a little bit more curious about what their hemp/CBD products contain. “I would suggest that folks check the list of ingredients to check for CBDA and CBG,” he said. “Look up certificate of analysis. And always consult a health care provider.”

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Since the iconoclastic planet Uranus is a chief symbol for the Aquarian tribe, you people are more likely to be dissenters and mavericks and questioners than all the other signs. That doesn’t mean your departures from orthodoxy are always successful or popular. Sometimes you meet resistance from the status quo. Having offered that caveat, I’m happy to announce that in the coming weeks, your unique offerings are more likely than usual to be effective. For inspiration, read these observations by author Kristine Kathryn Rusch: “Rebels learn the rules better than the rule-makers do. Rebels learn where the holes are, where the rules can best be breached. Become an expert at the rules. Then break them with creativity and style.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean author Juansen Dizon tells us, “Don’t find yourself in places where people have it all figured out.” That’s always good advice, but it will be especially germane for you in the coming weeks and months. You need the catalytic stimulation that comes from associating with curious, open-minded folks who are committed to the high art of not being knowit-alls. The influences you surround yourself with will be key in your efforts to learn new information and master new skills. And that will be an essential assignment for you throughout 2022. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Author

Helen Hunt Jackson said that one component of happiness is “a little less time than you want.” Why? Because you always “have so many things you want to see, to have, and to do” and “no day is quite long enough for all you would like to get done before you go to bed.” I propose you experiment with this definition in the coming weeks. According to my astrological analysis, you will have even more interesting assignments and challenges than usual—as well as a brimming vitality that will make it possible for you to accomplish many but not all of them. Your happiness should be abundant

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Born under the sign of Taurus, Ethel Smyth (1858–1944) had considerable skills as a composer of music, an athlete, an author, a passionate lover, and an activist working for women’s rights. She was successful in all of them. I propose we make her one of your role models for the coming months. Why? First, because she did more than one thing really well, and you are now primed to enhance your versatility, flexibility, and adaptability. Second, because she described a formula for high achievement that would suit you well. She said, “Night after night I went to sleep murmuring, ‘Tomorrow I will be easy, strong, quick, supple, accurate, dashing and self-controlled all at once!’” (PS: I suggest you make “supple” your word of power in 2022.)! GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to author Olivia Dresher, “Feelings want to be free. Thoughts want to be right.” Well, then, what about intuitions? In a sense, they’re hybrids of feelings and thoughts. They’re a way of knowing that transcends both feelings and thoughts. When intuitions come from the clear-seeing part of your deep psyche rather than the fear-prone part of your conditioning, they are sweet and fun and accurate and humble and brisk and pure. They don’t “want” to be anything. I’m pleased to inform you, Gemini, that in the coming weeks, your intuitions will be working at peak efficiency. It should be relatively easy for you to distinguish between the clear-seeing and fear-prone modes of intuition.!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “If you are going to do something wrong, at least enjoy it,” wrote humorist Leo Rosten. I offer his counsel to you right now because I want you to have fun if you wander away from your usual upstanding behavior. But may I make a suggestion? As you depart from normal, boring niceness, please remain honorable and righteous. What I’m envisioning for you are experiments that are disruptive in healthy ways, and dares that stir up interesting problems, and

rebellious explorations that inspire beauty and truth. They’ll be “wrong” only in the sense of being mutinies against static, even stagnant, situations that should indeed be prodded and pricked. Remember Bob Dylan’s idea: “To live outside the law, you must be honest.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo actor Anna Kendrick bragged, “I’m so humble it’s crazy. I’m like the Kanye West of humility.” I’d like to see you adopt that extravagant approach to expressing your magnificence in the coming weeks. I hope you’ll add another perspective to your repertoire, too—this one from Leo actor Mae West. She exulted, “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!” Here’s one further attitude I encourage you to incorporate, courtesy of Leo author Rachel Pollack: “To learn to play seriously is one of the great secrets of spiritual exploration.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sammy Davis Jr. (1925–1990) was multi-talented: an actor, singer, comedian, and dancer. One critic described him as “the greatest entertainer ever to grace a stage.” He didn’t think highly of his own physical appearance, however. “I know I’m dreadfully ugly,” Davis said, “one of the ugliest men you could meet. But ugliness, like beauty, is something you must learn how to use.” That’s an interesting lesson to meditate on. I think it’s true that each of us has rough, awkward, irregular aspects—if not in our physical appearance, then in our psyches. And yet, as Davis suggested, we can learn to not just tolerate those qualities, but use them to our advantage. Now is a favorable time for you to do that. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “It is the nature of love to work in a thousand different ways,” wrote the mystic Saint Teresa of Avila. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re due to discover new and different ways to wield your love magic—in addition to the many you already know and use. For best results, you’ll have to be willing to depart from old reliable methods for expressing care and tenderness and nurturing. You must be willing to experiment with fresh approaches that may require you to stretch yourself. Sounds like fun to me!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “If you are drilling for water, it’s better to drill one 60-foot well than 10 six-foot wells,” advised author and religious scholar Huston Smith. He was using well-drilling as a metaphor, of course—as a symbol for solving a problem, for example, or developing a spiritual practice, or formulating an approach to psychological healing. The metaphor might not be perfectly applicable for everyone in every situation. But I believe it is vividly apropos for you and your current situations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A well-worn proverb tells us, “All good things come to those who wait.” There’s a variation, whose author is unknown (although it’s often misattributed to Abraham Lincoln): “Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left behind by those who hustle.” I think that’s far more useful advice for you in the coming weeks. I’d much rather see you hustle than wait. Here’s a third variant, which may be the best counsel of all. It’s by author Holly Woodward: “All good things come to those who bait.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote, “To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization.” I agree, which is why I authorize you to add “Saint” to the front of your name in the coming weeks. There’s an excellent chance you will fit the description Stowe articulated. You’ll be at the peak of your power to elevate the daily rhythm into a stream of subtle marvels. You’ll be quietly heroic. If you’re not fond of the designation “Saint,” you could use the Muslim equivalent term, “Wali,” the Jewish “Tzadik,” Buddhist “Arhat,” or Hindu “Swami.”

—Disappointed The fact that something has gone on for a while is not reason for it to continue. Take the long “history” of people eating people -- dating back 100,000-plus years and still occasionally (though criminally) practiced today. These days, sure, there are restaurants that specialize in “traditional fare,” but their entrees tend to be roasted leg of lamb — as opposed to roasted leg of Bruce. Likewise, the “because history!” argument for staying with a friend (“We’ve been in each other’s lives for 17 years!”) is not reason to braid each other’s hair and skip off together into year 18. “History” in the friendship context often means having lots of shared experiences (especially misadventures like ending up side-by-side in the back of a police car after getting caught shoplifting at age 10). Some of these “historical” experiences — like your friend being there for you in tough times — can make you feel you’ve got an unpaid bill to work off, endlessly indentured friendservant-style. But do you actually owe them? Doing good for you probably did some good for them. Research by psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky finds that two of the most effective ways we can make ourselves meaningfully happier are regularly “practicing acts of kindness” and “nurturing social relationships.” You might also consider that a friend who helped you surely did it by choice — not because you held her at gunpoint and demanded, “Listen to me sob about my ex for 26 hours straight!” However, because we’re prone to feel guilty asking ourselves the legit (and healthy) question, “Hey, what do I get out of this friendship?”, we often end up populating our lives with fair-weather friends: there for us whenever they’re in need. Granted, friendship is not always 50/50. However, if the give and take balance is generally 5/95, your friendship is less a friendship than a usership with a nicer name.

29 VOLUME 26 ISSUE 04 / JANUARY 27, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I’m a woman in my mid-20s. In the last year, I’ve noticed that a number of my core friends have begun to exhibit traits and values that I don’t really identify with. I do my best to show up for them, but when I go through a hard time, they don’t seem all that concerned with my well-being. However, I have a history with these people, so I feel I owe them my loyalty.

We tend to be hard on ourselves if we end up with a collection of toxic friends — or friends who aren’t bad people but just aren’t good people for us. Though we believe we carefully handpick our friends according to shared values, attitudes, and interests, the formation of our friendships may have more in common with closing our eyes and throwing darts than with some Socratic inner dialogue on a potential friend’s merits. Psychologist Mitja Back finds we often form friendships through “mere proximity” — like being next-door neighbors or being assigned to sit next to each other for a semester in a college class. Understanding this might help you be as discerning about your social world as you are about your physical one: “Um, maybe that house next to Acme Turn-You-Radioactive Chemicals is not such a steal.” This is vital because the sort of people you’re frequently around shapes who you are, seeping into your thinking, habits, and motivation. So, it’s important to have a “core” group of friends who share your values: the bedrock principles underlying the person you want to be (your ideal self). These friends, simply by being who they are, will motivate you — monkey see; monkey do! — for example, inspiring you to work harder or smarter. Also, at times when you see nothing but gloom and doom, they’ll pop up all human flashlight to point out everything you’ve got going for you. This isn’t to say you should exile every person in your life who doesn’t exactly share your values. Just be sure they’re in your life not because they’ve been there for eons but because you choose to keep them around: They’re fun; they share your sick obsession with the 1972 Pinto; or they need you and you feel good giving to them (though they can’t give back in equal measure). If you decide to part company with opportunistic, emotionally toxic “friends,” avoid any temptation to take the “Off with your head!” approach — like abruptly disappearing without explanation. This is mean, and it can lead to ugliness and ostracism by mutual friends and acquaintances -- as can “constructive” honesty: explaining that you can no longer be friends with such selfish users. It often pays to fade: Simply become increasingly less available... like for those amazing opportunities to devote your entire weekend to helping your bestie move — in exchange for a pepperoni and dust pizza they make you eat in the back of the U-Haul.

Golf Communities in Central Oregon: Live where you play

at The Ridge is unbeatable.” That’s right—don’t forget about the restaurants and breweries here! Golf communities often include both fine and casual dining options, spa services, pools, gyms and facilities for business retreats, weddings or family gatherings. You will also have to choose among the stunning views that vary from course to course. One of the most impressive mountain range panoramas seen from a golf course is at Brasada Canyons. For those who love wide, open spaces, check out Crosswater, and then contrast that course with the two at Black Butte Ranch and the Woodlands course in Sunriver, which boasts fairways on the edge of the Deschutes National Forest. For people who want to live and golf in the heart of Bend, consider a home in Broken Top, Awbrey Glen, River’s Edge or Lost Tracks. Whether you want a cozy cabin in the woods, or a large, modern dwelling perched high above it all, you can find your residential style in a golf community here. Finally, buyers should consider that when buying in a golf resort, you are getting so much more than just a home. You are investing in a community and will likely be purchasing a golf membership, as well. Your realtor will be able to provide you with all the information you need on restrictive covenants, whether short-term rentals are permitted and membership options for your favorite golf community. Central Oregon is a great place to find your next driveway close to the fairway! You are always welcome to come play through in your search for a golf community home.

rom stunning scenic vistas to sparkling rivers and streams, Central Oregon is a golf mecca for residents and visitors alike. No wonder so many people who visit the area decide to move here, or to buy a second home! With over 300 days of sunshine each year, golfers can enjoy the sport yearround at one of over 30 golf courses in the region. Whether you are a novice golfer or can brag about an impressive handicap, why not live where you play? People have been trying to find a way to golf more and work less here in Central Oregon since the late 1960s. From Black Butte Ranch, the first resort east of Santiam Pass along Highway 20, to Sunriver, about 15 miles south of Bend along Highway 97, there are now thousands of homes in golf communities throughout the tri-county area, and beyond. Buying a home in a golf community involves some additional considerations beyond those of other homebuyers. Probably the most important decision to make is, which resort? With a wide variety of micro-climates here, it can be windier at Eagle Crest Resort near Redmond and at Tetherow in Bend in the springtime, or snowier in Sunriver in winter months. If there are several golf communities you are considering, play the courses in different seasons if possible, and talk to residents who have played various courses over the years. Bend resident and golf aficionado Larry Szaraniec says, “The Eagle Crest three courses are well-managed, groomed and challenging to all levels of golfers. Season passes make it extremely affordable and the cheeseburger
