B

ear with me while I get a little emo for a while.

This issue marks the 25th anniversary of the Source Weekly—quite a feat for an “alt weekly” in a media landscape that seems to claim a new victim every week.

When I landed this job as the editor of the Source in 2016, I distinctly remember telling publisher Aaron Switzer and the Source team interviewing me that this paper, to me, was a “unicorn”—one of a dwindling few still owned independently, still run by its owner, and not just surviving but actually thriving. I still believe that.

Leading the editorial vision for the Source Weekly has been a dream come true.

Here, we’ve advocated for the rights of women and sounded the alarm about the threats to Roe long before the leaked decision. We’ve uncovered and analyzed how far Bend and Oregon in general have to go to be a truly welcoming place for BILAPOC individuals. We’ve shared countless stories about protecting our natural resources—including getting embroiled in a current lawsuit against us by Avion Water over the right to access water usage data. We’ve kept readers updated about pandemic information. We’ve interviewed countless politicians and hopeful politicos during campaign seasons. We’ve cried after publishing stories of lost young ones in our community. We’ve laughed over silly antics, like putting Publisher Aaron Switzer in a bad Santa suit on the cover. We’ve strutted over award wins for everything from our Fall Style issues to our features and editorials. We’ve failed.

We’ve screwed up. We’ve pissed off both right and left, sometimes with the same story. All along we’ve striven to be a “paper of record” we can look back on to recall how far we’ve all come and where we still need to go.

Personally, this newspaper has not only brought me a sense of purpose, but a sense of community and a feeling of shaping it. The community that has supported this paper has allowed me to buy my first house, to see the middle-school daughter I brought here grow into an insightful and capable young woman. This paper has allowed me to learn humility; when it’s important to speak, and when it’s time to shut up and let others lead. It’s taught me what journalists are supposed to know from birth, but don’t—that there is no black and white; only myriad shades of grey… and to understand a particular hue, you have to do a lot of listening.

I could keep going—but it’s time to read on, where you’ll find our regular slate of sections, but also a special one where we turn inward and look back at this special unicorn we call the Source Weekly. Onward!

OPINION A Publisher’s Reflections on 25 Years

DOCTORS:

BYRON MAAS, TABITHA JOHNSTON,

By Aaron Switzer participants in the process as well. Digital realms have transformed news, and we all find ourselves searching for the implications that this flood of information continues to have on our way of life.

As I have steered a media company through the choppy seas and ocean of information, the one guiding light in the storm of change has been that regardless of the media format, people want honest information about their community, and they want it from an entity they can trust. This trust is built by strong editors. I have had the pleasure to work with several of these professional and committed journalists over the course of this paper’s history. They are the reason we are still publishing 25 years later. A good editor is adept at pushing for answers while knowing when to respect the ethical and legal limits of free speech. Oversight, responsibility and control are sorely lacking on social media for want of these professionals. I have been surprised that as a nation we cannot seem to exert the same journalistic standards on social media that we do on newspapers, radio and television. Don’t get me started on the fallacy that somehow Facebook or heaven forbid, Nextdoor are telecommunications companies.

As we enter our next quarter century of publishing, I am encouraged by the strong support we receive from new community members as well as decades-long readers. The paper continues to grow its readership and diversify our role in the community, as media must do if it is going to remain relevant.

Honoring our commitment to Central Oregon and remaining steadfast in informing and supporting this community, however, will never change.

Over the past 25 years, if there has been any truism in media it is that the only thing constant is change. I believe anyone who has been in media for a quarter century is eager to share stories of bygone eras. To the teller, initially, it seems just like yesterday, but when it trips off the tongue, they realize that they are a relic of a bygone age.

This paper got its start in the time of paste-up layouts that were hand cut, glued and photographed. The plates were then driven to the Redmond airport where they were flown to Portland and off loaded to a car that sped to the press. The press shipped the papers back the following morning for distribution. Inevitably, there were quite a few desperate nights in the early days when the production manager drove with all he had to reach the departing aircraft. There was no harder deadline.

Since then, the digital age has been very kind to smaller publications like ours who lacked the resources to afford a press of their own. We were the first publication to go “all digital” as a test subject for the latest printing technology at Signature Graphics in Portland.

From there, with the help of advances at Adobe, the process became even simpler, and today, as journalists, we can focus more on the art of the process rather than the amount of glue in the supply closet. It leveled the playing field a bit for smaller markets like ours with fewer resources.

Equally as revolutionary in this age of information has been the advent of digital media: first websites, then social media channels and now the increasing cacophony of video channels that add layer upon layer to the way that people receive their news. All these channels are vying for a reader’s attention and begging onlookers to become

GUEST OPINION: IN RESPONSE TO “THE WELL’S RUN DRY,” FEATURE, 7/7

in their own irrigation system equipment—a problem they never had with an open canal.

The members of Save Arnold Canal, its supporters and many local residents have voiced their opposition to Arnold Irrigation District’s piping plan—over 1,200 formal public comments were submitted on AID’s proposal last summer, the most by far for any piping project in the Basin. We are waiting for the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Washington, D.C., to render a decision on AID’s proposed plan sometime in August or September, at which time we’ll know how our fight may take on a new trajectory.

What would we like to see instead of a pipe? We’re asking for a more collaborative approach that utilizes a hybridized solution to seepage comprised of partial piping where it’s feasible, concrete canal lining without the use of a geotextile membrane (this method would allow for 30% of intentional seepage to better maintain wells and trees) and water-market-based tactics that could be used to move water from where it isn’t needed to where it desperately is (like North Unit Irrigation District in Madras). These are all ideas that AID chooses to ignore, in the same way that it conveniently ignores the real costs of piping.

There are a lot of moving parts to this complex issue that will continue to affect Deschutes County residents for many years into the future. Check out the Save Arnold Canal website, savearnoldcanal.org for some helpful informational videos and important documents available there.

—Mark Elling is a 25-year Bend resident who has been connected to upper Deschutes issues as a raft guide and more recently as a small-acreage irrigator. His views represent those of Save Arnold Canal and its supporters.

RE: HOME ENERGY SCORE The proposed ordinance for a home energy score is totally superfluous!

Instead of adding to the closing costs, paperwork, possible closing delays and requiring a home energy score which doesn’t mean anything to anyone, sellers can provide 12 months of utility bills which show the actual energy costs of operating the home! No need for another layer in closing a home sale!

on middle and low income Oregonians, insanely high gas prices, supply chain issues, destruction of food processing and production plants, struggling small businesses, seemingly limitless federal funding of foreign war without oversight, etc. Really hoping that Oregonians will look closely at what Ron has and hasn’t accomplished for Oregon in the last 27 years. Maybe we can opt for someone different (better) in November?

—Carole Howe

RON WYDEN It was surprising to see that Ron Wyden’s “highest short-term priorities” are access to abortion inducing drugs and protecting personal data of those seeking abortion so that it is not used against them. As abortion remains legal in Oregon and there has been a lot of talk about Oregon becoming a “sanctuary state” for abortion seekers, I am unclear why Wyden is prioritizing efforts that would appear to be for the benefit of non-Oregonians. Where was he for the last year when many Oregonians were not given the “my body, my choice” option with regard to vaccination? In many cases it was not possible to keep vaccination status confidential and it was used against people with regard to their ability to earn a living and access establishments. When I look around, I see a lot of other pressing issues that Wyden could be focusing on at the moment. Some possibilities are: the impact of record high inflation

RE: “THE WELL’S RUN DRY,” FEATURE, 7/7 Irrigation uses a large part (80%) of available surface water. A large part of aquifer recharge depends on leakage from canals. Irrigation districts can divert a certain amount of water, when the canals are lined they have more water than farms can use (leave some “in the river” for the HCP) and groundwater users are cut off (wells dry up).

Irrigation districts then sell the what can’t be used as groundwater mitigation credits. It’s a shell game with the objective of controlling for profit all the water in the Deschutes Basin.

I read with interest Hanna Merzbach’s well-researched piece, “The Well’s Run Dry” as it confirms some of the concerns that I and many other residents who live along the Arnold Irrigation District’s main canal have about AID’s plan to pipe 12 miles of it, through over 400 private properties.

I and other property owners on the canal formed the nonprofit organization Save Arnold Canal to advocate for a better solution to the canal’s seepage problem than a pipeline, which, as Merzbach does an excellent job of explaining, will negatively affect wells. In our area, over 500 groundwater wells within a mile of the main canal corridor that rely on the canal’s seasonal recharge (aka, seepage) will be affected.

The other big environmental cost of piping open canals which Merzbach’s piece didn’t mention but has been in the news recently is the loss of old growth ponderosa pine trees. AID’s plan to pipe the main canal will result in the loss of thousands of trees along the canal corridor, either by removal for pipeline construction or subsequently by choking off the established seasonal water source— the canal is over 115 years old—which the ponderosas have become habituated to. This is a massive loss of bird habitat and shade for other animals as well as another hit to carbon offset.

Irrigation districts in the Deschutes Basin have put all their modernization hopes on piping, but as each completed piping project ages, more evidence of piping’s flaws comes to light. Aside from the loss of groundwater wells and trees, residents of Tumalo Irrigation District have found that irrigation water delivery is often less reliable than it was with the open canal or ditch. Irrigators in Three Sisters Irrigation District now have to deal with increasing silt deposits trapped in the pipeline and ultimately

Tripping Over the Details

As the law inches toward implementation, Deschutes County is considering banning psilocybin manufacturing and therapy centers

By Jack Harvel would ban psilocybin manufacturing and clinical use on unincorporated county land. Voters will decide whether to approve those ballot measures in November. On June 13 Deschutes County Commissioners considered a similar proposal.

Psilocybin agriculture, processing and clinical use is already restricted in its location per Measure 109: it’s not allowed in residential areas or within 1,000 feet of a school. Any county decision would be limited to county land and wouldn’t impact psilocybin centers in municipalities like Bend and Redmond. Just six months out from the law’s implementation there are still some unanswered questions.

“The fact that Measure 109, passed a year and a half ago, and the rulemaking hasn’t been done yet, it doesn’t help a lot in terms of easing concerns about the land use impacts and implications of these kinds of facilities,” Deschutes County Commissioner Phil Chang told the Source.

County Commissioners are approaching psilocybin as a land-use issue, one that’s on the radar for counties across the state. The Oregon Psilocybin Advisory Board has met monthly since March 2021. It recommends practices to the Oregon Health Authority, and its biggest focus is in regard to safety and best practices around things like diagnosis, dosage, environment and qualifications of clinicians. The information is helpful for people on the therapeutic side but might not satisfy questions around land use.

“Somebody’s going to be able to come into the Community Development Department on the first business day of January and ask for a land use compatibility statement,” Deschutes County Commissioner Tony DeBone told the Source. “The rules are such that we don’t have any guidance, is it a conditional use? Is it an outright use? Which zones is it allowed in? Could somebody buy a farm and add some more buildings to it and call it a treatment center... but it would really be a resort day spa, psilocybin service center, so people need to think through that just a little bit.”

Local governments can restrict the time, place and manner of psilocybin services, but most rules regulating psilocybin clinics aren’t set to be adopted until

December. Rather than waiting on the state’s time, place and manner guidelines, some counties — especially more conservative rural counties — are attempting to jump ship during the November elections.

“For the most part, most localities are either just taking the state’s rules or just setting some kind of basic time, place and manner restrictions in addition to wherever the state sets up. And that’s mostly because psilocybin therapy healing centers are more like going to a doctor’s office,” said Ben Unger, founder and principal of The Lab Strategies—the general consultant for Measure 109.

Unger said he hopes as more people learn about Measure 109 the anxiety around it fades. Unlike legal cannabis, psilocybin is going to be in a tightly controlled market that’s unavailable recreationally. In terms of land use, the footprint of psilocybin facilities is far lower than cannabis.

“There’s going to be very few licensed production centers; you just don’t need that many because psilocybin grows pretty easily in comparison to how people do other things indoors,” Unger said. “What we’re going to see is a few handfuls of production facilities around the state, but it’s not going to be a big number.

And those facilities are going to be very small, especially in comparison to cannabis.”

The facilities themselves, too, are relatively small by comparison. Chang said he’d spoken to a local setting up a psilocybin facility that could meet the demand of Deschutes County on a small parcel.

“I was just talking to a local business partnership, who since Measure 109 passed, they’ve been working on a business plan. They have like a whole conceptual design for a facility,” said Chang. “It’s like 600 feet of production space, and then 1,400 square feet of service center for therapy rooms. That’s like a small house with a shop.”

Deschutes County Commissioners will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, July 13, to decide whether it’ll refer a ballot measure to the November election.

The Oregon Psilocybin Services Section at OHA also will tackle the issue in three listening sessions scheduled for July 13-15.

The Proto-Psilocybin Industry

An Oregon law legalized psilocybin therapy, but some companies have already gotten in on the trip-sitting game

I

t’s common for people engaging in psychedelics to keep a sober friend nearby to make sure you don’t burn the house down, hurt yourself or do something you might regret.

Somewhere between the therapeutic approach laid out in Measure 109, the Oregon law that legalized psilocybin-assisted therapy, and a sober buddy there’s a growing industry of psychedelic guides.

Unlike Measure 109, psychedelic guides don’t administer mushrooms; clients must source the psychedelics themselves. They also go a step further than the buddy system by developing plans and setting expectations.

“If you’re just trip sitting, you’re basically trying to just make sure that they’re physically safe. If you’re facilitating that’s a step up of involvement from there, where you’re likely involved in their journey before it actually happens, from a preparation standpoint with intention setting, and helping them to develop

tools to navigate an altered state of consciousness, what to expect, themes, all of that,” said Nick Levich, a cofounder of Psychedelic Passage, a company that facilitates psychedelic experiences.

Psychedelic Passages works under a harm reduction model, not a medical one. It exists in an unregulated space. Licensed mental health professionals could lose their license if they work with psilocybin.

“Nobody on our team is a licensed mental health professional, and we don’t claim to be. Our network of facilitators, our coaches, some had PhDs in psychology, some are registered nurses. There are all kinds of different backgrounds, and there’s no formal requirements,” Levich said.

Though the company isn’t staffed with mental health professionals, many people seeking their services are seeking an experience outside of recreational purposes. Levich said the common reasons people

seek Psychedelic Passage’s service are anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction, brain injuries or self exploration.

“We have a lot of people that come to us because they’re, they’ve hit a wall in therapy, their medication isn’t giving them the release that they seek anymore, or they’re having overwhelming side effects,” Levich said.

The number of times clients return for another psychedelic experience varies widely. Sometimes there are breakthrough cases that only need one trip to overcome symptoms, but more often it can take a handful of trips to get at the root of the problem. Measure 109 will open a new avenue for psilocybin as medicine, but Levich says it likely won’t have an impact on his work.

“We don’t operate out of clinics — we make house calls primarily — and we’re working with clients who already have sourced their own medicine and are looking for us to come in and assist with their experience,” he said.

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 28 / JULY 14, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

O

regon voters chose to become the first state in the nation to allow psilocybin, AKA magic mushrooms, for use in therapy when they approved Measure 109. The bill passed in Oregon with over 55% of the vote, including 52% of voters in Deschutes County.

Psilocybin is deemed a Schedule 1 narcotic by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, but a growing body of research suggests it can be used to treat addiction, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

“I started hearing from some veterans and some other people with PTSD on online forums like Reddit, where I’m part of some groups. A number of people have had some really, really profound success with therapeutic psilocybin in a clinical setting,” said Ben Carnahan, a Navy veteran who has PTSD. “I’ve had a lot of experience with various treatments for PTSD myself with varying degrees of success. So I’m definitely interested in something that sounds like it’s pretty effective.”

The most common treatments for PTSD is called Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, or EMDR, which involves recalling traumatic incidents while doing side-to-side eye movements or tapping one side of the body. There are also four medications recommended to treat PTSD: Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac and Venlafaxine. Carnahan’s symptoms manifest as nightmares, general anxiety and sometimes acute panic attacks that lead to an overwhelming sense of fear that can take hours to come down from. He’s tried traditional treatments that have been somewhat successful, but limited.

“For someone like me, where it seems there’s actually a diagnosis of complex PTSD, where it’s caused from multiple traumas over a period of time, EMDR can have limited success. There’s a few different drugs that I tried while I was still in the Navy. I had a psychiatrist working with me, but none of those were effective at all, and some of them made it worse,” Carnahan said.

Measure 109 will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2023, and as the deadline approaches some counties are attempting to opt out of the program. Umatilla, Linn and Jackson Counties have all approved ballot measures that

Navigation Center Opens

Shepherd’s House Lighthouse Navigation Center on Second Street connects people with case management

By Jack Harvel trauma-informed counseling and daily meals.

At The Lighthouse everyone entering the program is assigned a case manager who’ll try to find what services are most needed for each individual. Since starting case management at the beginning of June, and the opening of the day-use area on June 27, Shepherd’s House has over 65 participants in the program. There’s also been a slight uptick in people staying at the overnight shelter, according to Notari. The state’s requirements give a level of leniency to providers in implementing programs.

“That’s kind of guiding some of the data that we’re looking to track, and obviously required trainings in terms of safety and activity and trauma informed care,” said Evan Hendrix, associate director of the Lighthouse Navigation Center. “Everything else that we’re doing in regards to what’s happening here is programmatic derived from Shepherd’s House kind of culture and history and some of what we’ve learned along the way.”

That culture is collaborative, and the center is working closely with nearly a dozen partners in the public and nonprofit sectors. The increased services call for increased staffing.

Shepherd’s House hired out some positions but is still reliant on volunteers.

“We’ve hired staff, which that helps, but the need for meal service is huge. Now, we’re serving over 200 meals a day. That’s a heavy lift, so we need help in those areas. The basic services that are offered, the cleanup services, the admin services, those things are always areas that we could use volunteers in,” Notari said.

Shepherd’s House’s contract with the City lasts three years and includes two possible two-year extensions.

The CEO of St. Charles Health System is transitioning to an advisor role after eight years leading the company

By Jack Harvel

S

t. Charles Health System CEO Joe Sluka is stepping down after eight years in the role, transitioning to a strategic advisor position. He’s being replaced in the interim by Dr. Steve Gordon, a health care executive and former member of the St. Charles Board of Directors who’s served in leadership roles for PeaceHealth in Vancouver, Wash., Providence Health and Services in Portland and Salem Health.

“I am so proud of this organization and the more than 4,500 employees who put their hearts into caring for our communities every single day. This is a very difficult decision,” Sluka said in a press release. “At the same time, after leading through more than two years of a global pandemic and the corresponding recovery I feel it is time for me to step aside, recharge and provide the opportunity for new operational leaders to guide St. Charles forward.”

Sluka pointed to accomplishments like the implementation of a lean management system, construction of a new patient tower, transition to a new health record platform, and the expansion of Madras and Prineville campuses as highlights of his time as CEO. Though he’s stepping down as CEO, Sluka will remain active in the hospital system.

“I am energized to build on Joe’s legacy and advance and strengthen St. Charles despite the current challenges the health care industry faces,” Gordon said in a press release.

“I will continue to work closely with Joe in his strategic advisor role and am grateful that I’ll have his support, insight and ideas moving forward.”

Sluka’s also overseen a fair bit of controversy recently. In June about 300 health care providers voted to join a union.

A few weeks prior to that the hospital cut 181 fulltime positions amid a medical financing crisis that’s affecting hospitals across the nation.

Sluka will transition leadership of the health system to Gordon this week, as the St. Charles Board begins a national search for a permanent replacement.

end’s navigation center officially opened its doors on July 12, less than four months after the City of Bend approved a proposal submitted by Shepherd’s House to convert its overnight shelter into a 24-hour service center.

It’s called The Lighthouse, meant to evoke a guide to safety that’s not the final destination.

The center had a soft opening in late June, when it started rolling out services. It’s funded by $2.5 million from the state through House Bill 2006 and $1.4 million through money allocated to the City from the American Rescue Plan Act. The building’s been renovated to create a space for navigation center services in what was an extra sleeping area. The area is stocked with tables to interact with other guests and case managers, computers and books.

“The sheltering services continue, and that’s where we’re providing the safe housing and food and clothing as people need it to get off the streets, and hopefully start to build relationships and be able to get to the point where they want to turn the corner and regain some things in their lives,” said David Notari, director of development at Shepherd’s House. “The Navigation Center is a concept that really provides the opportunity for that to happen in practical ways.”

The sleeping area is fitted with new bunkbeds to maintain the shelter’s capacity of about 100 guests. The Oregon legislature created the concept of a navigation center with House Bill 2006, which required them to be low-barrier, open seven days a week and provide case management, behavioral and physical health referrals, referrals for substance abuse disorders, help acquiring IDs, documentation and benefits, job training, aid in applying for housing,

A medida que la ley va en camino hacia la implementación, el Condado de Deschutes está considerando prohibir la producción de psilocibina y de los centros de terapia.

Por/By Jack Harvel / Translated by/Traducido por Jéssica Sánchez-Millar “El hecho de que la Medida 109 aprobada hace un año y medio y la elaboración de normas todavía no se ha llevado a cabo, no ayuda a calmar las preocupaciones sobre los efectos del uso de la tierra y las implicaciones de este tipo de instalaciones,” dijo el Comisionado del Condado de Deschutes Phil Chang.

Los comisionados del Condado están tratando a la psilocibina como un problema en relación al uso de la tierra, que está en la mira de los condados en todo el estado. La Junta Asesora de Psilocibina de Oregon se ha reunido cada mes desde marzo de 2021. Le da recomendaciones al Departamento de Salud de Oregon y el enfoque principal es en relación a la seguridad y a las mejores prácticas en torno al diagnóstico, la dosis, en ambiente y a las titulaciones de los profesionales clínicos. La información es útil para las personas con respecto al punto terapéutico, pero puede no satisfacer las preguntas sobre el uso de la tierra.

“Alguien podría acudir al Departamento de Desarrollo Comunitario el primer día hábil del mes de enero y solicitar una declaración de compatibilidad del uso de tierra,” dijo Tony DeBone, Comisionado del Condado de Deschutes. “Son tales las reglas que no tenemos pautas a seguir, ¿es un uso condicional? ¿es un uso total? ¿en qué zonas está permitido? ¿alguien podría comprar una finca y construir edificios en la finca y llamarle centro de tratamiento… pero en verdad sería un spa de día, un centro de servicio de psilocibina, es por eso que la gente necesita pensar un poco más en eso.”

Las autoridades locales pueden restringir el momento, el lugar y la forma de ofrecer servicios de

psilocibina, pero la mayoría de las reglas que regulan las clínicas que ofrecerán servicios de psilocibina no se implementarán hasta el mes de diciembre. En vez de esperar que el estado nos indique el momento, lugar y las normas, algunos condados, en especial los condados rurales más conservadores, están intentando abandonar esto durante las elecciones de noviembre.

“En general, muchas de las localidades están adoptando las reglas del estado o simplemente están estableciendo algún tipo de restricciones en relación al momento el lugar, aparte de las propuestas del estado.

Y es más que nada debido a que la mayoría de los centros de sanación de terapia con psilocibina van a ser establecimientos médicos,” dijo Ben Unger, fundador y director de The Lab Strategies, consultor general para la Medida 109.

Unger dijo que espera que a medida que las personas aprendan más sobre la Medida 109, la ansiedad en torno a esta desaparecerá. A diferencia del cannabis de uso legal, la psilocibina estará dentro de un mercado altamente controlado que no estará disponible para uso recreativo. En relación al uso de la tierra, la necesidad de espacio es mucho menor que la del cannabis.

“Habrá muy pocos centros de producción autorizados; no se necesitan muchos porque psilocibina crece muy fácilmente,” dijo Unger. “Vamos a ver unos cuantos lugares de producción en todo el estado, pero no serán muchos. Y esas instalaciones serán muy pequeñas, en comparasión a las de cannabis.”

L

os votantes de Oregon eligieron pasar a ser el primer estado en la nación en permitir el uso de la psilocibina, también conocida como hongos alucinógenos, para el uso en terapia, al ser aprobada la Medida 109. El proyecto de ley fue aprobado en Oregon con más del 55% de los votos, incluyendo al 52% de los votantes en el Condado de Deschutes.

La Administración para el Control de Drogas de los Estados Unidos considera que la psilocibina es un narcótico de Clasificación 1 pero una investigación (a growing body of research) sugiere que puede usarse para el tratamiento de adicciones, la depresión, la ansiedad y para el trastorno de estrés postraumático.

La Medida 109 entrará en efecto el 1 de enero del 2023 y a medida que se acerca la fecha límite algunos condados están intentando optar por no participar en el programa. Los condados de Umatilla, Linn y Jackson han aprobado las medidas electorales que prohibirían la producción de psilocibina y el uso clínico de psilocibina en condados no incorporados. El 13 de junio, los Comisionados del Condado de Deschutes consideraron una propuesta similar a esa.

La agricultura, la producción y el uso clínico de psilocibina ya están restringidos en su zona según la Medida 109; no se permite en las zonas residenciales o dentro de los 1,000 pies de distancia de una escuela. Cualquier decisión del condado se limitaría a los terrenos del condado y no afectaría a los centros de psilocibina en los municipios de Bend y Redmond. A solo seis meses para la implementación de la ley todavía hay preguntas sin responder.

The Source Weekly Turns 25 If this newspaper were a human, it could now officially rent a car… and maybe even move out of the parents’ basement!

In many ways, the story of the Source Weekly is the story of Bend—once small and scrappy, now a bit more citified… and populated by a Portlander or two or three.

The Source Weekly, dubbed the “Deschutes Source” during its early days in 1997, has survived 25 years of fires, droughts, political upheavals, recalls, opt-outs, walkouts, occupations, media hemorrhages and even a global pandemic—emerging as now the only newspaper in Central Oregon to be owned locally, by people who live and work inside the same brick walls that have recorded so many of Central Oregon’s ups and downs.

What is a community newspaper, and what keeps one going?

The answer lies, at least in part, with the first part of the title: Community. A newspaper survives and thrives because a community circles around it and supports it. In our 25 years, we have served our community by keeping our publication free, with no internet paywalls barring our stories from the rest of the wide world. In turn, advertisers and readers come back time after time, continuing to invest in our mission of bringing smart, informed and sometimes even smart-ass coverage of news, arts, culture, outdoors and other stories. In a time when media outlets continue to fall by the wayside—when so many find so many reasons not to trust the journalists whose job it is to seek out and report the closest approximation of the truth they can find—you, readers, are what keeps it all going.

So as we celebrate this silver anniversary of 25 years, pat yourself on the back, too. You are the community in community newspaper, and we salute you!

PARTY ON US! Join us Wed., Aug. 10 from 6-9 pm at the Deschutes Historical Museum for an anniversary celebration featuring live music and entertainment—free and open to the public.

From Coast to Coast

32 years of marriage. 25 years of the Source.

The story of this humble weekly newspaper starts with the love story of Angela and Aaron Switzer.

19

T

wenty-five years of the Source Weekly means a regular ebb and flow of staff. There have been several editors, hundreds of journalists and a constant flow of sales reps. However, the two owners from the beginning, the two that always have managed to quietly massage their paper forward, are Aaron and Angela Switzer—my lovely parents.

I have always enjoyed the story of them growing up and meeting, so for the 25th year anniversary, unbeknownst to them, I took a trip home to report and secretly publish the story of how they met and got married.

“Angela met Aaron in 1983 when she was 16. They went to the same high school here in Georgia,” my grandma, Kay Sanders, reported over the phone.

They grew up a block away from each other in Tucker, Georgia. There’s old stories of them sneaking out at night, meeting in the middle of the kudzu forests and braving cottonmouth snakes. They both dated throughout high school, my dad more of the troublemaker—my mom the quiet opposite.

They separated after Angela got into Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and Aaron went to the University of Georgia. They remained distant friends for years, keeping in touch on occasion.

“Even though he was far away we always kept in touch,” my mother Angela explains. “He’d visit with friends, we’d meet in Austin, Texas, or even Mardi Gras; he always had a great way of making sure we had fun.”

In 1986, Angela was in Salem, Oregon, working an internship, and Aaron had recently “left” college.

“Your mother had a different boyfriend at that time, they were sea kayaking, living the dream,” Aaron describes. “I remember I was still at home, working fast food, and I remember telling myself, ‘I’m not going to be average!’ I was 20, and I didn’t really have much of a plan for what I wanted to do. I was biking a lot from Athens, Georgia, to Atlanta. I remember thinking to ride across the country would be the same as stringing together a ton of these rides—but I really had no plan.”

At the start of October 1986, getting dropped off in Tennessee, he began the 2500-mile journey, solo biking to the West Coast, dragging his long, thin body through the country with his bike and a tent. The stories mirror Jack Kerouac’s cross-country adventures— the dividing line between the East of youth and the West of the future... camping on the side of the road, moving through each state in a slow rhythm.

When I asked him what he did when he wasn’t riding, my dad said he read a lot, moving from the Russian classics; Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, into the Victorian era of Dickens and Brontë. “I loved the Victorian period, I read all that stuff,” my father explained. “I also had six cassette tapes and a Walkman—I listened to a lot of Kate Bush.”

After several months on the road, he finished his trip at the door of my mother’s apartment in Salem.

My mother still had a boyfriend, but my parents hung out nonetheless.

“She had such a bright future going on; I didn’t think she wanted anything to do with me,” my dad remarked, “So I left her my bike—I was so romantic back then, then took the Greyhound home, it took four days. I was so broke; I left with literally $5 in my pocket.”

together a little more optimistically. “When he left, I remember thinking, that’s pretty special. He rode across the country to see me. I thought I probably shouldn’t let that go.”

In the following year, Angela wrapped up school in Dallas and Aaron lived in Atlanta; reading, playing Ultimate Frisbee, and saving up enough money to fund cross-country bike trips through Europe. They kept in touch until finally, legend has it, my mom visited Aaron’s apartment in Georgia, but their time was cut short by the arrival of Aaron’s new girlfriend. “After the trip across the country, I had been trying to move on,” my dad explains, “but I secretly always liked Ang.” This brought some immediacy into their time together. It wasn’t long until they finally started dating again.

In 1990, after being together for a couple of years, Aaron proposed a bike trip down the West Coast, starting in Florence, Oregon, and finishing in Cabo, in Mexico. “I wanted to do this trip with him, but I hadn’t done much biking in my life,” my mom mentioned, “but Aaron told me you get in shape on the road. He just kept saying it would be fine. For the first part of the trip, we rode down the entire Oregon coast and it rained almost every day. Aaron was in way better shape than I was. I wouldn’t say I liked it at first—plus Aaron didn’t stop to enjoy the scenery. We’d climb up a mountain and he’d wait two seconds and then ask if we were ready to keep riding. But he always stayed pretty close next to me, and we’d talk, and he took most of the gear at first, so that made things easier.”

When they rode into Yosemite, Aaron sporadically proposed on top of Half Dome. “I was surprised,” my mother said. “I remember telling Aaron, I’m only 23, I got so many things I want to do, I don’t know if I can get married yet, and he said, 'OK, I’ll just do those things with you!' So, we decided to get married.”

My dad confirmed this is actually how they spent the first years of their marriage together. The two moved to Bend, then Portland for a couple of months, then back to Bend, then Boise, Idaho, as Angela bounced between work as an archeologist. In 1994, during their three years in Boise, Aaron started his master’s at Boise State University studying Victorian Literature. He was also working as a journalist for “Boise Weekly,” along with writing manuals for the printer company HP. In 1997, Aaron was awarded his master’s and the two would move to Bend to immediately start the Source Weekly—and 25 years later they still work in the back room, operating their local paper together.

As Aaron put it, “The great thing about your mom was, I followed her around as she did all the things she wanted, then eventually it was my turn, and I took the wheel!”

The Column That Got Away

Pub crawling, impersonating Neil Patrick Harris and other hijinks from Source days gone by

By Josh Beddingfield candidate getting more votes than our two rivals.

“Let me get this straight,” I might have said, “you’re going to weasel out of a bet with someone who has no qualms about putting that in print, say, tomorrow?”

If you know Aaron Switzer, the Source publisher, you can imagine the glee he greeted my story with. What a fabulous chance to ruin the career of a young Bully smart-ass. We laid immediate plans for a glorious column about the drunken and dishonorable nighttime habits of the earnest kiss-asses up there on the hill. Just as I was really getting going, I received an email: Chris was very sorry for what he had done. Very sorry and alcohol was to blame.

I can’t tell you how disappointed I was. It would have been the glorious pinnacle of my equally smartass career as political reporter and columnist. But I just couldn’t kick a dog when he was groveling. It still pisses me off he deprived me of that column.

And then, a Doogie Pub Crawl It was all Lee Perry’s fault. When you see someone as extraordinarily decent whispering conspiringly in the corner of a dark fern bar, though, it’s hard to imagine they are up to no good. Especially if they are the designated driver and your table is full of writers drinking their way through a company-funded night of bar reviews. A reasonable explanation might have been that Lee was ordering extra bread so that no one got too hammered.

So I didn’t give it any thought when the waitress turned to me with a rather wide-eyed expression on her face. Like someone who has seen a ghost. Or a celebrity. But I did when she picked up a menu a few minutes later and meekly approached me with it. “Excuse me, but um do you think I could have your autograph?”

“Of course!”

I turned my head to Lee, who had sidled into the booth next to me and whispered, “Who am I supposed to be?”

“Neil Patrick Harris.”

A dim image of the actor who had played Doogie Howser, MD came to mind. I had actually been tentatively mistaken for him once or twice. in a “You look kinda like that actor who played Doogie Howser if he had spent too much time in the sun and cut his own hair” kind of way. This was before Harris’ fame had increased and he had come out as gay. The comparisons stopped by then—no one would mistake my general wardrobe of dirty Carhartts and holey Western

shirts for Harris’ dapper slim-fitting suits.

“Is Neil with an A or and I?” I whispered to Lee. “I dunno.”

I took a guess, probably wrong, and wrote a dedication to the waitress on the back of the menu. Something about her being the best waitress in Bend. She backed away holding it clutched like a precious object and we went on with fern bar drinking.

When it came time to write our bar reviews, I’m sure it was Aaron Switzer’s and not my idea that I write a satirical column pretending to be a miffed Neil Patrick Harris. I agreed to it only because elsewhere in the article it mentioned the mistaken identity story. The gist of the column was that Harris was a secret—and clearly rather alcoholic—resident of Bend who had had enough of his cover being blown. He just wanted to drink in peace.

Like most of my satirical columns, they at least amused the hell out of Switzer and myself. The public’s reaction was always a crapshoot. But a few days later, we received a letter in the mail (Yes, the actual snail mail as it was done in those days) with a return address from near the top of Awbrey Butte. I believe the stationary was monogrammed, but that could be my imagination.

I’m pulling it from memory, but it went something like this: “Dear Mr. Harris, I have had the opportunity to socialize with many rich and famous people such as yourself. And I have never found any of them to be so rude and unappreciative of the love of their public fans. You should be ashamed of yourself.

If you would like to do something positive for the community, instead of just complain, I would be happy to teach you how to host a celebrity cocktail party.”

Sincerely, Awbrey Butte guy Absolutely not for publishing.

No permission given to publish.”

Just a pro tip, but letters to a newspaper are publishable. I am proud to say that I argued against publishing the letter over the objections of my guffawing office-mates. And I never did learn how to host a celebrity cocktail party.

he Bend I remember of the late ‘90s and early 2000s was a place at constant war with itself. In some ways funny—the battles over roundabout art for instance. And in some ways serious—the election campaign of Les Stiles comes to mind. The sneaky implosion of the Old Mill to make room for a shopping experience. It was a town becoming a city and it was often a wild ride.

This played out at the Source as well, sometimes behind the scenes. This was, of course, an era when daily newspapers still mattered and “The Bulletin” took itself very seriously. There was no lack of enmity, professional and personal, between people at “The Bully,” as I liked to call it, and those of us in the scrappy alternative weekly game. Many of the reporters who I met from The Bully tended to be earnest journo school grads trying to springboard their careers to “The Oregonian” or the “Sacramento Bee.” And they almost always took pains to tell me they were not like their editorial overseers—mostly stuffy, Chamber-of-Commerce mouthpieces who viewed our side of the street with open contempt. I can’t say that didn’t flow both ways.

But we all had to drink beer somewhere, even though the Bend of that era had only two breweries— Deschutes and Bend Brewing—until the McMenamins Old St. Francis reopening. It was there, at a grand opening event, that I made the acquaintance of one young editorial writer whom I will call Chris. Roughly speaking, we were counterparts on opposite sides of a heated City Council campaign that was shaping up as an epic battle to replace the old guard of Oran Teater and other conservatives with an earnest progressive slate, years in the making. This Chris was, to put it mildly, shitfaced on the beer and in the company of the only Bulletin reporter whom I truly cared for. I’ll call him David.

As I recall it, David had introduced us by email.

Something about the high lords wanting to mix with the scruffy rabble. And in that email correspondence we had agreed upon a friendly wager on the election. I had bet that so-and-so would receive more votes than the other so-and-so. I had been right, and I wanted the free beer I was owed.

I disliked this person immediately when we met face to face. If he wasn’t wearing a bow-tie, I’d make another wager he owned at least a few. He had the smirky manner of a prep-school kid who was used to pontificating on things. He was explaining to me that he believed our bet had been a tie on account of a third

The Ice Sculpture Incident

Source Weekly Archive

A former editor recalls a “wet” night at the awards show

By Renee Alexander n the late ‘90s, the Source was nominated for a Drake Award for advertising. We were all delighted to attend the Drake Awards, an annual event that was put on by AdFed of Central Oregon and always had a fun theme.

It was the closest thing we had to a red-carpet event in Bend, and the Source staff—mostly 20-somethings at the time—were not accustomed to fancy soirees. Publisher Aaron Switzer had decided to spring for a limousine, so we could arrive in style.

Dressed in our fanciest outfits, we all gathered at the Source office, giddy with excitement. And waited.

And waited. And waited. Our limousine never arrived.

Fortunately, Scott Donnell had a VW bus, so we all piled into it. There weren’t enough seats, so we sat on each other’s laps and on the floor of the van while Scotty D acted as our chauffeur. Upon arrival, we put on an impressive imitation of a clown car scene, stumbling

out the sliding side door and adjusting our outfits in plain view of a crowd of Bend’s movers and shakers.

Inside the event, we took full advantage of the adult beverages at the bar, becoming increasingly festive as the night wore on. By the time our awards category was called, we had nearly forgotten that we had been nominated. As I recall, we won, though it may have been only an honorable mention. But to us, it might as well have been a gold medal. We made a scene and determined that more drinks were called for. By the time we left the event, we were plastered and overly pleased with ourselves. My last memory, before piling back into the clown van, was surrounding the ice sculpture and giving it a group lick.

Note: these are the facts as I remember them, which is not necessarily the same as the facts as they happened. But that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

What’s 25 Years When You’re 94?!

The Source’s longest-running contributor looks back on “Natural World”

By Jim Anderson

H

oly Cats—25 years is a long time when you’re enjoying yourself!

If my memory serves me correctly it was that long ago that Source Weekly publisher Aaron Switzer and his dear wife, Angela, asked me if I’d be interested in writing a weekly nature column for a newspaper they had created.

Was I? You bet! I believe my stuff appeared in the table of contents as “Nature” when it first began. Today, it runs under “Natural World.”

Has it been fun? You better believe it! Not only did doing the nature column give me the opportunity to share the Big Love of my Life— the Nature of the world around me—but also to tell my neighbors how they, too, could see what I was seeing, and why it is so important to keep our world healthy.

Without a doubt, the most fun I have writing

for this unique paper and its wonderful crew is the feedback I get from readers. For example, the piece I wrote on the Lined Hummingbird Moth drew responses from all over the country, probably because of the Source’s presence on the web. I’m still receiving emails from people sharing stories about the hummingbird moths in their backyards which I now know live on the East Coast, West Coast and just about all states in between.

Readers ask me questions, share their nature encounters and request bird and bat house plans—I love it!

What I’m hoping for now is that my ancient 94-year-old brain will keep functioning well enough to keep Nicole Vulcan, the current editor of our paper, happy and our readers enjoying my exploration of the Nature of our World.

Thank you, Aaron and good pals!

My first issue: Molly Ringwald.

ust a few months before stepping into the Editor job a decade ago in 2012, I had seen Molly Ringwald present a confessional talk at The Moth; she talked about being a mom, and about recognizing that her middle-school daughter was a bully, and her abject frustration as that went against her entire life-philosophy and, as she saw it, all she had represented in the series of mid- ‘80s John Hughes films that had made her famous. She proclaimed that her roles in movies like “16 Candles” and “Pretty in Pink” and “Breakfast Club” were fundamentally about anti-bullying and about acceptance. Admitted, it was a much deeper reading and significance of Molly Ringwald than I had ever considered.

Coincidentally, Molly Ringwald was touring the West Coast with a jazz band, and scheduled to play the Tower Theatre the same month I was scheduled to start my job at the Source. Even before becoming one of the most recognizable faces of the silver screen in the 1980s, she had played stages as a kid as part of her dad’s traveling jazz band. Although she has since returned to acting (playing Archie’s mom in “Riverdale”), at the time, in 2012, she largely had been in celebrity hibernation for the previous 15 years or so— and her jazz tour and talks at The Moth were a halfstep back to public life.

We were pleased to welcome her back—and to do so in as grand fashion as a weekly newspaper in Central Oregon could do. As one of my first acts as the

Ten years ago the Source was all about this heartthrob.

editor, I decided to dedicate the entire issue to Molly Ringwald; some in earnest, some tongue-in-check.

Our production manager at the time, Jen Hornstein, designed a captivating cover for the issue showing the freckled-face Molly Ringwald in an oversized gold locket. One of the staff interviewed her. We pointed out her contributions to music (mainly introducing American

teenagers to Psychedelic Furs). We reviewed local eateries by matching menus to which character from “Breakfast Club” we thought would most enjoy the food (like, Ringwald’s Claire at the now-closed local sushi joint, Boken); and, we wrote about how Molly Ringwald and Generation X had grown up from disaffected MTV teenagers: “They are CEOs of companies that put community in front of bottom lines,” we wrote.

“They recycle. They fret about and prioritize good parenting. They garden, and have ushered in a deeply sincere lifestyle of seventh-generation sustainability. They elected the nation’s first Black president, and, perhaps most spot-on to the Breakfast Club’s themes, have shifted a national attitude away from bullying and toward magnanimous acceptance of any creed, ethnicity or sexual orientation.” (Mind you, this was three-and-half years before Donald Trump’s presidency and nearly eight before the January 6 insurrection.)

In many ways, that Molly Ringwald issue set a tone for my three-year tenure; after all, the central function of the Source is, at one level, to provide information about civic and cultural happenings, but also at a higher level as a platform to test-drive new thoughts. To coin a phrase, the Source is about considering how Bend fits into the larger global culture, while doing so with a decidedly local flavor—and it has been doing so for a quarter-century, which is its own cultural phenomena.

Good Times in Lil’ Ol’ Bend

The Source’s first arts editor recalls the days before the Old Mill and the six-figure population

By Tanya Ignacio

I

’m not going to lie: I cried as I drove into Bend on a hot summer day in the summer of 1998. As we crept along Highway 97–which was then just Third Street– in a poky parade of bumper-to-bumper RVs and cars, I started to second-guess my decision to move to this small central Oregon town with my partner. I had not moved to Bend to get stuck in tourist traffic.

I’m glad I stopped and stayed and didn’t keep driving like I wanted to that hot afternoon, because I discovered the Bend that I still remember fondly today. I might not have found it if I hadn’t wandered into the low brick building on the corner of Georgia and Bond with my résumé and a stack of clippings in hand. I had spent the past few years writing dance and performance art reviews for “Willamette Week” in Portland (while mostly supporting myself by writing software manuals for a couple of start-ups). I figured there were at least a few community theater shows I could write about while I tried to find a full-time job.

I spoke briefly with Editor Aaron Switzer and was very surprised to be offered the position of arts & culture editor. I thought it was a bold move on his part as I was unfamiliar with the arts and music scene in Central Oregon, and had never written about music or visual art. But I learned that the paper was only a year old, so everyone else was pretty new at their jobs. I also discovered that there’s no better way to get to know a place than to write for the weekly paper.

Central Oregon was a smaller, quieter place when I started writing for the Source. In the late 1990s, the Old Mill District was under development and the Les Schwab Amphitheater, now the Hayden Homes Amphitheater, wasn’t yet open. Seeing big-name music

acts generally involved a drive to Portland or Eugene.

Bend has always been about local talent, then mostly of the folk, folk-rock and country variety, and Bend was on the tribute band circuit (Helles Belles, anyone?).

Munch & Music was a focal point of the summer. You could still smoke in the D&D. Bend was in a sweet spot of its growth. It still had that small-town feel and had a lot of scrappy creative energy. Ideas could come to fruition without a lot of money. Small coffee houses and bars, bands, dance/ theater/literary events and performance spaces popped up and people showed up for them. The Source Weekly arose during that moment, appearing just when such an enterprise might take hold and thrive.

(Working for the Source back then was sort of like being marooned with the cast of Gilligan’s Island, only the “island” was a hot-in-the summer, freezing-in-the winter brick building that I was sure was going to collapse on us with the next earthquake. “Getting off the island” meant getting the paper done and to the printers every single week. Aaron played a cunning version

of The Captain. A rotating cast of characters vied for the best Gilligan award (if you wonder if you might have been a Gilligan, you probably were), Paul was the mysterious Mr. and Mrs. Howell who appeared like Santa Claus once a year or so to bequeath of us with new computers or his benevolent presence. Every single sales person was a Ginger. All of us played The Professor at various point points. I might have been Maryann.)

As much fun as it was to write about the bigger and bigger acts that were starting to perform in the newer larger venues (Bob Dylan, Modest Mouse, The Pixies), writing about local musicians, artists, writers and theater events was what I loved best. They are the heart of a local arts scene. In this small community, I felt the obligation to be critical, but not unkind in my reviews.

I think I mostly succeeded.

As Bend and Central Oregon changed, so did I. Putting out a paper week after week is hard. I got tired of the grind. I had a baby and life pulled me in a different direction. In 2006, we moved to Portland so I could go back to school. I’m now a nurse-midwife in Fairbanks, Alaska. Fairbanks has similarities to the Bend of the late 1990s and early-aughts, which is why I think I have stayed. (It doesn’t have a weekly paper though, but probably could use one.)

—Tanya Ignacio was Arts and Culture editor, then Managing Editor of the Source Weekly from 1998-2006.

For a year or so, she also laid out the paper. In 2006, she left journalism and went back to school and is now a nurse-midwife in Fairbanks, Alaska, where she has lived with her son since 2010.

Water Woes for Farmers

Drought and river conservation measures have left Central Oregon farmers with less water — though some are harder hit than others.

27

O

n a sunny June day, Chris Casad sat on his tractor transplanting onions. Central Oregon had been seeing a wet season, but when he dug down a couple of inches, parts of his 360 acres of land in Madras were still bone dry: the weeks of rain had barely made a dent.

“It’s really hard to see the farm dry up so much,” said Casad, a first-generation farmer who owns Casad Family Farms with his wife.

The Casads’ irrigation district, the North Unit, is home to much of the commercial agriculture in Central Oregon, yet it’s getting only about a quarter of its normal water allotment. Farmers, like Casad, are left to make sacrifices: for him, that means drying up a couple acres in order to have enough water to grow potatoes. For others,

this means closing shop altogether.

This is the third consecutive year that the governor declared a drought in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties — and the first time this has happened three years in a row. While farmers across the region are feeling the effects, Madras and Culver farmers in Jefferson County are particularly hard-hit due to century-old irrigation systems. Meanwhile, local, state and federal officials have been slow to come up with solutions, and — according to many farmers — river conservation measures aren’t helping.

“A lot of our neighbors are in tough situations,” Casad said. “We’re probably going to see a lot of farms go under this next year.”

“First in time, first in right” This all goes back to water rights. The region’s eight irrigation districts — Arnold, Central Oregon, Lone Pine, North Unit, Ochoco, Swalley, Three Sisters and Tumalo — were all established around the turn of the 20th Century, but they see vastly different water allocations. This is because it’s a “first in time, first in right” system. Essentially, the districts created first get more water. The region’s water, which flows down from the Cascades, was also vastly over appropriated, so — even in a good year — there may not be enough water for everybody who needs it.

This year, all the water districts are seeing shortages. The Tumalo Irrigation District, for instance, is employing a week-on/week-off water system. But the disparity plays out most starkly between the Central Oregon and North Unit districts, the region’s largest districts.

COID, which encompasses the area around Bend and Redmond, has the senior-most rights, established in 1900. “Use it or lose it” is the dominant thinking with water rights. So, since many of the district’s patrons aren’t commercial farmers, many use their water for hobby farms or to water their lawns, in order to keep their rights. As of July 8, patrons were receiving nearly 5 acre-feet of water per acre.

Meanwhile, for NUID, which was created in 1913, most of its farmers are getting .55 acre-feet of water, largely from Wickiup Reservoir. This is up from earlier this year, when the district had planned to allocate just .45 acre-feet, but it’s still well below the normal allotment of 2 acre-feet.

According to Casad, “A lot of this is old western water law, but now it’s not practical to the situation at hand.”

Farmers in the Central Oregon district are also expecting water curtailments — to the tune of 65% of normal in mid to late July — but nothing like what North Unit is seeing. Megan Kellner-Rode, the co-owner of Boundless Farmstead, a vegetable farm in COID, said her farm is one of the more fortunate ones.

“Where we’re affected most is watching our friends and peers struggling in junior rights districts,” she said.

While Kellner-Rode is moving full steam ahead this season, Casad has planned serious cutbacks. This means producing 50,000 pounds of organic potatoes instead of 150,000 and largely growing hay to feed the farm’s animals, rather than selling it to Oregon customers.

The farm has moved away from the farmers market economy and started to diversify, pivoting toward

high-value products, like mailing boxes of grass-fed beef. But without enough water, Casad can’t fulfill all the markets he’d like to. He’s trying to be optimistic but said it’s frustrating to put so much money into infrastructure over the years and not be able to capitalize on it. Casad’s wife, Cate Havstad-Casad, has a couple of businesses, including a hat company, which help sustain the family’s farm.

“The off-farm income business is keeping us on the farm,” Casad said.

An age-old controversy The ongoing drought is the main reason for the water shortages, according to Jeremy Giffin, Oregon Water Resource Department’s watermaster for the region. But new conservation measures are making the situation more dire.

For over a decade, environmentalists and farm advocates have been entangled in a battle over one species: the Oregon spotted frog. Declared threatened

“A lot of our neighbors are in tough situations. We’re probably going to see a lot of farms go under this next year.”

—CHRIS CASAD under the Endangered Species Act in 2014, the spotted frog has critical habitats along the Deschutes River.

In 2020, years of debate culminated in the passage of a habitat conservation plan, which aims to restore the Deschutes closer to its natural flow.

This plan also requires the North Unit to release water for the frog in the winter months from Wickiup — which, as of July 7, was only 28% full. According to Giffin, this is the first year that four out of five of the local reservoirs are likely to go dry, largely due to climatic conditions.

“We’re doing our best in the basin to keep up with conservation measures,” Giffin said. (cont. on p 29)

“It’s just going to be extremely tough to make up for that amount of water that’s going to be missing out of the upper basin reservoirs.”

Some farmers blame their water issues entirely on the spotted frog. Matt Cyrus, the president of Deschutes County Farm Bureau, thinks irrigation districts would be doing much better without the conservation measures and attributes the ongoing water shortage to politics, rather than climatic conditions, though Giffin affirmed that the overlying reason for the shortages is the drought.

Because of the conservation plan, “There’s a lot of ground that’s just being dried up [in North Unit],” according to Cyrus, a sixth-generation farmer.

But Tod Heisler, a longtime river advocate who

worked to develop the conservation plan, said it’s “irresponsible” for farmers to blame their water issues entirely on the spotted frog. Water was over appropriated in the first place, he said, and has been inefficiently managed for 120 years.

“We work hard to get these tiny bits [of water back in the river],” he said. “The problem is that [the conservation plan] was a change.”

Finding the “perfect balance” Everyone agrees that something needs to be done to address the water shortages — they just don’t all agree on what that something should be.

COID is currently in the midst of an elaborate canal piping project, helped by $30 million in federal funds.

Up to 50% of water from canals in the region has historically seeped into the ground before it reaches the farms, according to experts, so piping the canals is aimed at getting farmers more water. This solution does come with trade-offs though: piping canals may mean less groundwater for residents who rely on wells. This large-scale piping project will also largely benefit water users in the irrigation district with the most water.

“It’s still a step in the right direction,” Heisler said.

“But [irrigation districts] really need to work much more effectively out at the farms.”

These could mean more efficient sprinkler units and financial incentives to use less water. Many also support “water banks,” which could transfer water from people who have extra to those in need. A pilot program is currently underway, allowing Central Oregon Irrigation District patrons to sell their water to the North Unit, though participation numbers are low: Due to technicalities in the water rights system, patrons will only sell 90 acres of water, while the target was 1,200 acres.

The North Unit has also eyed the water in Lake Billy Chinook as a possible solution to its crisis, though critics say a project of that magnitude would be pricey and time-consuming.

“If we do find an alternative water source, [farmers] are going to be done anyway,” said JoHanna Symons,

who co-owns a beef company in Madras. Due to the water shortage, Symons is only able to farm about 200 acres out of 1,100, she said.

That’s one reason why, in 2016, she and her husband started the organization, Perfect Balance USA, in order to give farmers like them a seat at the table and work toward “a common sense” solution, where farmers and frogs can both thrive.

“We don’t want to see the river catastrophically devastated,” Symons said. “We don’t want to see the frogs and the fish devastated. But we don’t want to see farmers go out of business either — because that’s how we all eat.”

A large part of the organization’s focus is on educating the public through tours of the farm and showing people where their food comes from. Though these

efforts give her hope, Symons is tired of seeing her neighbors’ farms go under.

“A lot of the farms around here have been handed down from generations,” she said. “We’ve worked our whole lives to pay for the farmland and everything that we’ve gotten. The thought of losing absolutely everything — it’s just devastating.”

This story is the second part of a series exploring water shortages in Central Oregon.

The first part focused on groundwater and residents seeing their wells go dry. The third part will focus on municipal water use and shed light on the region’s largest users.

Brothers Chris and Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes hit the road together again

By Dave Gil De Rubio

hen Chris and Rich Robinson made the November 2019 announcement that the Black Crowes were reuniting, it represented a reconciliation between the siblings after the band was blown up in 2015. The plan was to launch a lengthy reunion tour in 2020 commemorating the 30th anniversary of the group’s 1990 debut album “Shake Your Money Maker.”

Then COVID-19 struck and the touring industry. along with the rest of the world, ground to a halt. The 2020 tour was pushed back a year, and now the Black Crowes are doing more shows this summer celebrating that debut album.

For guitarist Rich Robinson, this unexpected respite turned out to be a mixed blessing, allowing him to get some perspective, while quarantining at home with his family in Nashville.

“For 31 years, I’ve never not toured, played music with other people, been in the studio or done something to that effect for over a year,” he said. “That’s been interesting and a little tough because it becomes a part of you as a person just to have that feeling and connection.

“But on the flipside, the positive of it was to be able to spend time unfettered with my children and be able to do that for 15 months without having to leave.” He added with a laugh, “Also being able to see them every day and experience all the joys of home schooling while trying to figure out how to use Zoom.”

But while it might seem simple for the brothers Robinson to pick up where they left off, reconnecting involved rebuilding a relationship that crumbled to the point where neither had been in touch with each other for several years. It was bad enough that Chris had never met Rich’s two youngest children and Rich had been just as disconnected from nephew Ryder and niece Cheyenne.

And while both had gone on to other projects, Chris with the Chris Robinson Brotherhood (CRB) and As The Crowe Flies, and Rich with The Magpie Salute, both were on the same page in terms of mending fences. For the younger Rich Robinson, it was even more apparent given the direction Magpie Salute was headed.

“The financial and a lot of the creative burdens [in Magpie Salute] were on my shoulders and it was reaching a point where it was untenable,” he admitted. “I remember saying to a mutual friend, ‘I wrote these songs and I really miss Chris.’ It wasn’t a pitch or anything—just a passing comment. Our friend said that Chris said the same thing to him the other day.”

With the pandemic-enforced downtime, the Robinsons were able to reconvene with George Drakoulias, who produced the band’s first couple of albums.

The trio dove into the vaults and emerged with a 30th anniversary, multi-format “Shake Your Money Maker” reissue. It includes three unreleased studio tracks (including the first single “Charming Mess”), B-sides, demos and a 14-song unreleased live recording of a 1990 two-night Atlanta homecoming stand after the album had gone platinum.

The Crowes have returned to the road having released an EP, “1972,” with covers of songs released 50 years ago by the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, T. Rex, Rod Stewart, Little Feat and the Temptations.

The band’s touring lineup is rounded out by guitarist Isaiah Mitchell, keyboardist Joel Robinow, Brandi Carlile drummer Brian Griffin and background singers

Mackenzie Adams and Leslie Grant.

The one former band member returning to the fold is Sven Pipien, who was the bassist from 1997 until the band splintered in 2015. Founding member/drummer Steve Gorman, who penned 2019’s memoir “Hard To Handle: The Life and Death of the Black Crowes: A Memoir,” was not asked back, and when asked about the reunion tour during a 2019 “Variety” interview, opined, “I don’t begrudge anybody that goes to see it, but it’s sad…it’s always gonna be sad.” For Rich Robinson, who said he hadn’t read Gorman’s book, getting a fresh start with his older sibling is the key.

“We want to focus and do it right for ourselves as

human beings. For ourselves as brothers. For ourselves as writing and creative partners as well as the other reasons.”

John Rzeznik talks their new album, producing and getting back to the fans

By Isaac Biehl

35 Claire Marie Vogel

The Goo Goo Dolls - Robby Takac, left, and John Rzeznik - return with their 13th studio album on Aug. 12.

I

nvading the pop charts with alternative rock like no band had before, The Goo Goo Dolls have made a name for themselves that will live on forever. Songs like “Iris, “Name,” and “Slide” will ring a bell for anyone, but their discography is four-decades deep and their fans are die-hard. John Rzeznik (guitar/vocals) and Robby Takac (bass/vocals) just announced their 13th studio album, “Chaos In Bloom,” set to release Aug. 12.

Recorded outside Woodstock, New York, at Dreamland Studios—housed in an old church, “Chaos In Bloom” was the first time Rzeznik produced an entire Goo Goo Dolls record by himself.

“I think that I have a tendency to burn producers out. And I like to experiment. I didn’t feel like I was able to get my hands as dirty and connect as deeply as I wanted to [previously]. So I went for it,” says Rzeznik.

“I am a collector of ridiculously old recording equipment. I love that. I wanted to have a chance to experiment to create some cooler sonic textures. And the writing process was really fun. We found an old church about an hour from where we live and just moved the band in there. As far as subject matter, it’s pretty clear that the world has gone pretty f*cking insane.”

Rzenzik gave it his all producing.

“I write music first. That music kind of triggers emotions in you and then I sort of come up with the melodies. Then a phrase will come out. You chase it.

Chase it down the rabbit hole and see what’s on the other side. It was fun producing. I blew all the money.

I forgot about that part,” he joked.

To accompany the announcement the band also released its first single, the sarcastic and witty “Yeah, I

“As far as subject matter it’s pretty clear that the world has gone pretty f*cking insane.”

Like You,” which touches a lot on celebrity culture and social media. “I wanted to write the story about this guy who meets this internet celebrity and they like each other. And he’s baffled, like why is she so famous?

There’s a little bit of envy but also admiration. He’s really having fun with it and he realizes his own life is gonna creep up on him.”

As for Rzeznik, just staying out of it and avoiding trolls is his approach to social media.

“I hired a guy to do it for me. When Twitter came out they told me, ‘You gotta get Twitter!’ I’m trying it, and I wound up arguing with everybody. I’m like, I don’t care. I’m gonna hire a guy and if I got something to say I’m gonna text him or call him. And when I don’t, just post stuff about the band,” laughs Rzenznik.

“Why? Because I can’t stop fighting with people. The vast majority of people are so supportive and so great and just want to say hi. It’s amazing to have that sense of community like that. And we have an amazing audience. I feel a bond with them. But there’s always some crazy f*cking person.”

Other talking points on the album include political division on “Day After Day,” societal inequalities

on “Let The Sun,” and Rzeznik sings about the kind of cabin fever one gets while trapped at home during a pandemic on “Going Crazy.”

“I think I really did lapse into psychotic episodes.

Or extreme anxiety attacks. It was pretty weird. I found people to work with and everyone was vaccinated as soon as they could be. We created our own little bubble to work in. Truly, just getting to have time with my daughter and working kept me sane,” he says.

A big part of The Goo Goo Dolls experience is catching them live, and they haven’t toured since 2019.

Both Rzeznik and the fans are more than ready for their return.

“I miss seeing everybody! Our audience is so awesome. There’s something so great about it. I feel this real sense of pride, standing up and singing a song, then turning the mic to them and they sing it. It’s like yeah… we’re cool with each other. I get you and you get me.

Gung Ho for Nate Bargatze

The nice-guy comedian plays the amphitheater

H

e has seen his great aunt and uncle get into a fist fight at a wedding. His dad was a professional clown turned magician. He is a die-hard Vanderbilt Commodores fan and a true Tennesse Kid. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Hayden Homes Amphitheater for Nate Bargatze!

Bargatze has been described as one of the nicest people in comedy. His acts are kept generally clean (his last Netflix special “Greatest Average American” had a TV rating of TV-G, and the one before that, “Tennessee Kid,” rated TV-PG). An act this clean for a headlining comedian is a rare sight, and having an act as crisp and refined as Bargatze’s without using profanity is almost mind boggling.

Some have described Bargatze’s act as calming. He is deadpan and navigates his way through his topics and jokes with a sarcasm and unpretentious dry wit that feels almost conversational. Watching a Bargatze special feels like floating down the lazy river listening to your uncle crack harmless jokes that he knows the whole family will love.

His rise in the comedy world had been progressing for the last 10 years or so. He was one of the first comedians to appear on “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon, and has made countless appearances on the rotation of late-night shows since.

He will be the first comedy act to roll through Hayden Homes, and no better comedian comes to mind to sit back in the sun, enjoy a beer or two and laugh the rest of the night away with.

World’s Biggest Marble Hunt

CULTURE

Local artist joins record-breaking treasure hunt

n July 23, Central Oregon-based glass artist Hezakiah Mecham takes part in a world-record-breaking adventure that brings artists and marble hunters together from around the world. The World’s Biggest Marble Hunt sends participants on a quest to find the ultimate prize: a chest filled with $45,000 worth of treasure.

The World’s Biggest Marble Hunt takes place simultaneously across multiple social media marble-hunting and hiding groups. Participants travel around the world to predetermined locations with challenges to overcome and checkpoints to cross off. Marbles created by 158 world-renowned glass artists, including Mecham, were handpicked to be included in the coveted top prize.

The collection is currently on display at Clarke Historical Museum in Eureka, California. In addition to the first prize, a second-place treasure chest and thousands of handmade marbles will be hidden around the world for participants to find.

Local treasure hunters don’t have to wait or go far to get in on the fun. Mecham is the owner and operator of HeziArt Studio in La Pine and runs a local community marble hunt called Heziart Hiders La Pine Marble Hunt, with over 600 members. Central Oregon art enthusiasts who are interested in a treasure adventure closer to home can get started by joining the HeziArt Hiders La Pine Marble Hunt Facebook group. Source readers may remember us featuring Meacham and his teacher, Chris Davis, in a July 2021 story about the Great Marble Hunt of La Pine.

When Davis relocated, Meacham took over the marble hunt in La Pine.

Mecham’s local hunts are open to the public, free, and scheduled for every Saturday.

Individual hunters or teams looking to join the World’s Biggest Marble Hunt must be registered by July 20 at noon CST. Teams can have up to three people.

Years ago there was a bartender and chef competition downtown at Bite of Bend and I was one of the judges. Getting to try dishes from master chefs like Bethlyn Rider and Joe Kim and tasty beverages from mixologists from a dozen different bars across Bend was entirely too much fun. I don’t remember the winner of the actual competition anymore, but I’m pretty sure it was me.

Hands on Deck CHOW All The owners of South Bend Bistro have replaced all the furniture taken

during an act of sabotage—but still no sign of the perpetrators of the internet hoax

D

Submitted by South Bend Bistro

inner service at a fine dining restaurant can be a stressful endeavor to prepare for—but imagine doing it when you start the day without the patio furniture that normally seats over half of your nighttime guests. That was the nightmare faced by Laura Bliss, owner of Sunriver’s South Bend Bistro, after people made off with most of the furniture, lights and even in-ground plants set up on the patio of the restaurant.

Bliss, who bought the restaurant five years ago after serving as its manager, said her husband woke her up the morning of June 23, telling her to look at the cameras she had set up to monitor the restaurant.

“I look on the cameras and there’s people on our deck just walking off with stuff,” Bliss said. “I’m like, why are people taking stuff off of our patio? What’s going on? And by the time I had seen the cameras, most of our patio furniture and umbrellas and all that were gone already.”

As Bliss recounted, a former owner of South Bend Bistro had allegedly gotten into an argument with another person online. The former owner still listed South Bend Bistro on her Facebook profile, Bliss said—which she now believes prompted someone to retaliate against the “owner” by posting an ad on Craigslist.

“The Craigslist ad said that we were going out of business and hurry and come, take everything, whether anyone is there or not, just grab and go,” Bliss told the Source. “The people that came, I mean, they dug out our plants. They kicked over pots to take plants. I mean, the amount of damage that they did was just insane.”

Roughly estimating, Bliss believes over $9,000 worth of patio furniture, propane tanks, lights, planters and other service items were taken. Some of the items have since been returned.

“This sweet old man brought back items that he took—and that’s kind of

what we thought it would be. The target market would be older. People who wouldn’t understand Facebook scams, right? Or Craigslist scams,” Bliss recounted. “So he came back in tears and we hugged it out. We found out that he did donate some of it to Habitat for Humanity. So we were kind of like, well, you know, bless your heart for thinking about others, you know? And he wrote us a check for what he wasn’t able to return.”

Bliss said the video footage shows another couple coming early in the day and filling up their truck with the bulk of what was taken, but they have not come back to return anything.

With a 5pm deadline to open the restaurant for the guests who had made reservations that night, Bliss’ husband sprang into action, buying out the nearest hardware store of all the patio furniture it had on hand. With all hands “on deck,” literally, Bliss, her husband and the staff had set the patio back up by 5:01pm that night—one minute after dinner service officially opened. Had they not opened that evening, Bliss said they would have lost another $10,000 in restaurant revenue.

“I feel like I’m constantly checking the cameras now. I have No Trespassing signs all over the place for when we’re not open. I feel like our security was just invaded. All over a stupid social media argument.”

Bliss has filed an insurance claim for the losses but said it’s unclear whether she’ll receive a payout since the furniture and other items were not locked down.

“We don’t feel like we should have to—it’s private property. Without someone there giving permission to be on the property, they shouldn’t be on the property. So we don’t want to have to chain up everything at night. Locals are concerned because we have been changing something, and you know, it makes them uncomfortable, they don’t

like the look of it— you know, to them, this is their safe quaint town.” Meanwhile, Bliss said, regulars at the restaurant have come in to hand over checks to help them out, and supporters also launched a GoFundMe. “We have wonderful neighbors— they let us use their tables and chairs

until we could replace ours. So it took a couple of extra days to get to where we could replace ours and give them theirs back. But we had a lot of local support.”

Sunriver Police say the case is still under investigation, but Bliss said they had not yet identified who created the Craigslist post as of July 9.

Make Shrubs, Be Happy

Shrubs are all the rage among the fancy-cocktail set, adding some freshness and caché to an ordinary drink. But shrubs aren’t just for cocktails—they can also be medicinal. Shrubs, defined as “a concentrated syrup that combines fruit, sugar, and vinegar,” can also be a refreshing drink and a way to consume plant medicine. On July 25, The People’s Apothecary hosts its “Summertime Medicine: How to Make an Herbal Shrub” class, teaching people how to make their own. Try samples and take home your own shrub!

“I really want this job but it's ok if I don’t get it, I’m planning on moving to Australia in a couple weeks – BUT – I would stay if you hired me!” and with one day left before the plane to Australia for my year-long work visa was set to take off, I got the call, and accepted the job. Australia would have to wait. That was five and a half years ago and I can say with certainty that I am still happy with my decision. Why would I give up sunny beaches and vegemite sammies you might ask? Because when I first moved to Bend, it was the Source that got me connected to this community and I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of. That connection is what keeps me here. My favorite part of my job, sales/marketing, is getting to meet and grow relationships with so many local business owners and community members. Having a pulse on what is happening, moving and shaking… it feels good to feel connected. And my fellow colleagues: working alongside a small but mighty, motley crew of smart, witty, talented and caring co-workers in a cool little historic building. You spend a lot of time together when you work just feet from the whole team, spit-bawling ideas, cranking out Tuesday deadlines, and cracking jokes. I am thankful for their commitment and their comradery. I am proud to work for an independent, locally owned paper still printing on a press, what a rarity these days. I am grateful I made that crazy decision to stay here so many years ago. I have made some of my best friends and memories here and most importantly, met my partner. Thank you Aaron, Amanda, Chris and Ban for allowing me to join your team; Angela and Nicole for being fierce and kind role models and editors; Richard for being the coolest cat and best copy editor this side of the Mississippi, to my many colleagues who became friends and their contributions over the years, and a special shout-out to "man-bun dude" who declined the offer first!

THE BLACK PHONE: If you want me at your horror movie opening night, here is a good recipe to have: Ethan Hawke as a creepy ass serial killer in a horror film based on a short story by Joe Hill and directed by Scott Derrickson, the demented mind behind the modern horror classic “Sinister.”

This is a genuinely fun horror flick that feels like a throwback to the heyday of 1970’s serial killer movies. Regal Old Mill

ELVIS: I would have zero interest in this one if it wasn’t from the same filmmaker that did “Moulin Rouge,” so I know it will at least be visually interesting. Sorry, I just don’t care about Elvis. I like the musicians he ripped off quite a bit more. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub

OFFICIAL SELECTION: Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas star in this deeply funny and insightful look at filmmaking and the process of acting. Cruz has never been funnier in her entire career and Banderas shows he’s willing to be as goofy as humanly possible to get laughs. Tin Pan Theater PAWS OF FURY: THE LEGEND OF HANK: Back when this was being developed, this animated family adventure was called “Blazing Samurai,” which will always be a better title. The trailer definitely looks like it’s taking its inspiration from “Kung-Fu Panda,” but with a voice cast featuring Michael Cera, Mel Brooks, Sam Jackson and the co-director of “The Lion King” behind the camera, maybe it can rise above its inspirations. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE:

PHANTOM OF THE OPEN: A very British charmer

JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION: I’m in the minority in thinking the last couple “Jurassic World” movies had a few pretty exciting moments but weren’t actually great movies. This new one brings back Sam Neil, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum from the original, but still manages to be dull, uninspired and pointless. Regal Old Mill

PLEASURE: An unflinching and brutal look at the

Martial arts, sci-fi and mind-f*ck combine for this jaw-dropping showcase of the brilliant Michelle Yeoh and the unsung comedic chops of Jamie Lee Curtis. From the Daniels, this is a breathtaking work of imagination that uses cinematic techniques we haven’t seen since the heyday of Spike Jonze and Michele Gondry. Tin Pan Theater

LIGHTYEAR: Chris Evans is Buzz Lightyear in this

high-concept animated sci-fi adventure from Pixar and Disney. The concept is cool: The toy Buzz Lightyear from the “Toy Story” movies is the licensed action figure made from the success of a blockbuster summer movie. “Lightyear” is the in-universe movie that the toy is made from. Now my head hurts. Regal Old Mill

MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU: I definitely wish this

looked more like a sequel to the surprisingly great “Minions” and less like a prequel to “Despicable Me,” but who am I kidding, I’ll see this either way. I love me some Twinkie-shaped, gibberish-speaking weirdos. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House

MR. MALCOLM’S LIST: A period romantic comedy about a woman who is jilted by London’s premiere bachelor because she doesn’t fully meet his list of requirements, so she brings her friend in to pretend to be his ideal companion. We haven’t had a period charmer in a while, so count me as excited for this one. Regal Old Mill MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS: The story of a British housekeeper and her dream to own a Christian Dior gown. The trailer for this is charming and it’s been a while since we’ve had a good fish-out-ofwater story, so here’s hoping this is as good as it looks. Regal Old Mill

starring the always reliable Mark Rylance as the true-life golfer Maurice Flitcroft. Flitcroft shot a 121 in the qualifying competition for the 1976 Open Championship, leading to him earning the title of “World’s Worst Golfer.” This is the story of how a badass ship crane operator spent years gate crashing the British Open. A treat. Tin Pan Theater

porn industry that introduces Sofia Kappel to the world in an absolutely star-making performance.

The film is much more interested in educating than titillating and is much stronger for it. Tin Pan Theater

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER: Writer/director Taika Waititi is one of our most innovative filmmakers and “Love and Thunder” is packed with mind-blowing visuals and some of his most irreverent humor yet. Don’t believe the negativity, this is an absolute blast. I hope we get Thor movies forever. See full review on page 65. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins TOP GUN: MAVERICK: There’s a reason why Tom

Cruise is the last true movie star and it’s mostly because he’s that perfect blend of creepy, weird and desperate to entertain us—and boy does he.

This feels like a true Hollywood crowd-pleaser in a way we haven’t seen in years. Talk about a highway to the danger zone. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub

WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING: I really liked this book and actress Daisy Edgar-Jones is a fantastic new talent, so hopefully this Rural Noir murder mystery catches the imaginations of people unfamiliar with the story. If the advanced reviews are accurate, the film doesn’t quite capture the same magic as the book does, but not many movies adapt novels very well in the first place. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House

SCREEN Marvel, Thor, phase four and what’s in store

Christian Bale steals “Thor: Love and Thunder” with both hands as The God Butcher.

without a larger plot device (like the Infinity Stones) tying them all together.

But I’m happy with the way things are going. Sure, Marvel is easy to make fun of because it’s giant and popular (even though nerds like me were beat up because of their comic collections long before this stuff was cool and lucrative), but if you take the time to look at what they’re doing with Phase Four, it’s kinda unprecedented.

“WandaVision”deconstructed sitcoms while telling a deeply personal

tale of grief, “Loki” focused on identity and self-discovery set against a massive backdrop, while “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” showed how poorly our government treats BIPOC lives.

“Moon Knight” is a bonkers world-traveling adventure about Egyptian gods and mental illness and “Ms. Marvel” shows the inner life of the first mainstream Muslim superhero. The most common complaint I’ve seen from people about the MCU is that everything is “the same,” yet Marvel anticipated

this by having Phase Four feel like a little kid mashing all his toys together and inventing a new story for each one.

You’ll know exactly what you’re getting with “Thor: Love and Thunder” because Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is one of the last standing OG MCU characters, and we’ve seen his adventures for the last decade plus. Writer/director Taika Waititi returns from “Thor: Ragnarok” with the same childlike glee and wonder, but with some absolutely dazzling direction and an all-time great villain performance from Christian Bale. You don’t need me to tell you whether to go see it or not because everyone has ultimately already decided whether they’re along for the Marvel ride or not. I loved it. Mileage will vary.

“Love and Thunder” won’t convert any Marvel haters, but it shouldn’t turn anyone away from the forever franchise, either. Ultimately, these movies are just simply fun and I really respect the unprecedented idea of telling dozens of interconnected stories across multiple billion dollar franchises. I think what needs to happen for people to eventually get over their cynicism for the MCU is just to watch the things they want and ignore the rest. I know someone who has never watched a single second of Marvel content before diving into “Ms. Marvel” and they absolutely fell in love with the show. The baby doesn’t have to get tossed with the bathwater.

More movies means more choices and more choices are never a bad thing.

Maybe I only love the MCU so much because it vindicates my lifelong love of comic books. Or maybe I just think there’s something there for everyone… especially the haters.

I chose the Source as my workplace, but it has become my second home. I confess that on one hand it seems like a long time ago, because when I started on this journey, it was before my marriage and my kids. On the other hand, it seems like only yesterday when I joined the Source as the third member of a sales team of three people on the blue-carpeted floor of the iconic G.W. Horner building. Sixteen years have passed and since then, a lot has changed, inside and outside the building. The world has undoubtedly become faster, bigger and more complex. The economy was up, then down, then up again and who knows where we are at today.

I want to thank all my wonderful clients who entrusted me in providing them with better opportunities (for the most part, and sorry to those with whom I made a mistake). To the many colleagues who helped me on this journey, especially Amanda Klingman. To my family who put up with my odd hours, schedules and supported me unconditionally. A special thank you to Aaron and Angela Switzer in welcoming me to the Source family.

Avoiding specifics, my favorite memories include the many events we’ve hosted, not to forget our epic holiday parties that included excursions on the Green Tour Bus (thanks John), unofficial after parties and next day burritos. My outing with Magdalena Bokowa and Jared Rasic as we consumed 100 chicken wings. Hip-Hop Fridays with Chris Larro, the special “Ban package” from Wyatt Gaines and to Amanda for contributing to my kitchen gadget addiction. But most importantly, it is the time spent with my colleagues and getting to know my clients on a personal level. Watching our families grow, seeing kids become adults and enter the next phase in their lives, that’s the journey I enjoy the most.

I

get it. Everyone has superhero fatigue now, because between Marvel, Disney and DC, we get two dozen comic book movies a year with only a small handful of them being any good. Marvel is also struggling a bit critically right now because they don’t really seem to be building toward anything so far with Phase Four of the MCU. One through Three were busy setting up Thanos and the Infinity Stones, so even the films that didn’t seem like they had a place in the overall story eventually ended up being important.

Look at what we’ve had theatrically and on Disney+ so far in Phase Four: it started with “WandaVision,” and went on to “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,” “Loki,” “Black Widow,” “What If…?” “Shang Chi,” “Hawkeye,” “Eternals,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Moon Knight,” “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” “Ms. Marvel” and now just this weekend “Thor: Love and Thunder.” That’s seven shows and six movies since January 2021, which is an absolute deluge of content.

And that’s not even close to everything. Theatrically, we still have “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “The Marvels” and “Fantastic Four” coming in for the rest of Phase Four. On Disney+ we still have coming “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” an untitled Marvel Halloween special starring Gael Garcia Bernal, “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special,” “Secret Invasion,” “Ironheart,” “Armor Wars” and a series set in Wakanda.

That’s an astounding amount of stuff, and aside from characters crossing over here and there and Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, Loki and Doctor Strange’s respective dalliances with the multiverse, there’s really not a whole lot tying these stories together. Back in the day, the original Thor and Captain America movies felt like completely unconnected stories, but that’s because Marvel was building toward bringing them together for “The Avengers.” Now it just feels like we’re getting a lot of world-building

If Wheels Could Talk

Teton Gravity Research shows its new mountain biking film in Bend

By Chris Williams Courtesy Mark Behrendt

WHAT’S BREWING

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 28 / JULY 14, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

he trailer for “Esperanto,” Teton Gravity Research’s newest mountain bike film, concludes with the thought, “the language is something we use to communicate. It doesn’t have to be composed of words.”

It’s fitting for a film that is in multiple dialects and highlights the biking culture of around eight different countries and over 20 athletes from around the globe.

The film’s title derives from an attempt to create a universal language inspired by European languages.

In 1887 a Polish-Jewish doctor named L.L. Zamenhof created the language in hopes that it would promote peace and connection across the globe. Although the language itself wasn’t widely adopted it is a lasting philosophy that can be used to describe the universal languages in everyday life that don’t use words, grammar or speech.

In “Esperanto,” biking is the common denominator, the language that doesn’t have to be spoken. There is no hierarchy of elitism in the film. Commuting on a beat-up bike on a dusty road is given the same weight and importance as hucking down the biggest cliffs and sending it on narrow ladders 20 feet in the air.

One special rider may receive a bit more emphasis at the Bend viewing, though.

Bend local Carson Storch grew up shredding all the local hotspots in Central Oregon before exploding onto the professional scene in 2013 when he landed on the cover of “Bike Magazine.” The 29-year-old is a young veteran in the free ride mountain biking scene, making the finals in some of the sport’s biggest competitions like Red Bull Rampage and the Crankworx Freeride Dirt competition. Storch has appeared in countless films and edits, and is well primed to have a stellar role in “Esperanto.”

The film is different from traditional free ride films because individual segments for riders don’t play out like a traditional video part. Most films focus on the individual’s skill and abilities, featuring the heaviest-hitting tricks of the season without much regard to the other riders in the film. “Esperanto” aims to make sure each segment builds upon the film’s concept of

The universal language of bicycling is the the star in this film that also features a Bend local.

universality. Each part enhances the theme and builds cohesiveness throughout the run-time.

Bend will be a part of the universal tour fabric, being one of 120 cities to show the film.

One Wall That DID Get Built

The 1916 brick building the Source resides in has seen its fair share of improvements over the years— including, as former editor Tanya Ignacio mentioned, improvements to its heating and cooling systems. But I remember another YUUUGE improvement.

2022 High Cascades 100

100 miles of pristine Central Oregon trails and deep into the mountains

F

or die-hard mountain bikers in Central Oregon there is one race marked annually on their calendars: the High Cascades 100—a race that brings participants through 100 miles of pristine Central Oregon trails and deep into the mountains. Over 90% of the race takes place on the area’s famous single track, which means trails that are about the width of the mountain bike that ride fast. The race in total climbs about 8,000 feet and is officially 97.6 miles.

Last season riders came prepared for the journey. About 90% of participants finished the race, with elite riders completing the course in a little under 8 hours. More “casual” racers generally finish within 9-14 hours with there being no shame in having to walk a couple of sections.

The course changes annually due to weather and conditions and this year’s course will bring riders along up to Swampy Lakes Sno Park, down to Tumalo Creek and back up again to ride around Tumalo Mountain just across from Mt. Bachelor.

Although registration is already full there are plenty of viewing opportunities for those who want to witness the area’s hardcore athletes and experience the struggle second hand. Mudslinger Events, the organization hosting the race, asks that if you have a racer you want to spectate to not leave town until 6am. Because the race starts at 5:30am the organization wants to avoid a bottleneck of traffic heading up Cascade Lakes Highway.

The race starts and ends at The Athletic Club of Bend. The awards ceremony will start at 6:30pm and will feature prizes for the top three finishers of the nine different categories. If you missed out this year, start prepping for next year. Registration opens Aug. 1.

Not long after the disaster that was #45 getting elected—and before we fully understood the destruction in civil society that would result—the Source staff took to jokily chanting, “Build a Wall! Build a Wall!” every once in a while… not to advocate for building THAT wall along the Mexico border, but to build a wall between the Source conference room and its lunchroom, so the team could eat AND have meetings at the same time.

The wall got built around 2017. It was the most beautiful wall. The best wall you’ve ever seen. —Nicole Vulcan, Editor, 2016-present

The Barred Owls are Coming

The owl cousin threatening to eat the spotted owl out of its house and home

By Jim Anderson 71 Jim Anderson

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 28 / JULY 14, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

F

irst it was rumors, “The Barred owls are coming, the Barred owls are coming…” Next, it was the dire warnings that the barred owls were going to either chase all the Northern spotted owl out of the Northwest, or breed with them and bring forth a whole new sub-species called, “Sparred owls.”

Then the warning was the feathered invader would compete with the spotted owls for prey and eat them out of house and home, which seems to be the case.

In any event, the last I heard Wildlife Services — the arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that uses deadly force to solve wildlife problems — was assassinating owls in the Pacific Northwest.

Way back in the ‘80’s one turned up in Alfalfa, and then about five years ago I found one spending some time in Tumalo State Park on the Deschutes, and another was seen near Crescent, then recently another was observed hanging around the Old Mill District in Bend.

And now they’re roaming around Sisters, Tumalo and the countryside in between.

Unlike the spotted owl who is a specialist and concentrates feeding on small boreal rodents in old growth forests for prey — with an occasional gopher or two for variety — its close cousin, the barred, will gobble up just about anything it can find, maybe even a chicken or two.

And, because they are close relatives, the fear they will mate with their cousins, the spotted owls, may be real, and produce some kind of half-breed that will eventually destroy the original Northern spotted owl as a species. It’s almost for certain — as it is with many alien invaders, such as European starlings — they may eat their cousins out of house and home, literally.

What is for certain is that we humans have played a big role in allowing the barred owl to migrate from the East to the West. It’s our logging practices that opened the gate. Clear-cutting became a way of life for the logging industry in the Northwest, and Canada enjoys that method of cutting trees as well. So we have created a forested freeway for the owls to travel from East to West.

Barred owls are mostly cavity nesters, which puts them in direct competition with our native screech, saw-whet and pygmy owls, and kestrels—plus a number of woodpeckers and song birds for breeding sites. And, the barred being the larger of the group, means it may win that battle as well.

As far as I know, the barred owl is the ONLY owl that sings an eight-note call, which is unique. I have heard birders

The infamous, alien Barred owl, and nemesis of the native Northern spotted owl (Alfalfa 1985).

humanize the call to, “Who cooks for you, who cooks for all,” with a drop in the tone on the last part. It’s normally pretty noisy in spring — but — if a Great horned owl responds to the barred’s call, it will shut down immediately and may even leave the country.

Great horned owls are the chief predator of barred owls.

The photo of the barred owl’s ear opening provided me the opportunity to show just why owls are so good at catching prey by sound alone. That huge ear-opening is capable of sensing a mouse tip-toeing through the tulips, and the fact that they are not situated like human ears — directly across from another, but offset — means they are super accurate at locating prey.

And speaking of prey, don’t be surprised if you’re out fly fishing and you come upon a Barred owl standing in the creek or edge of a lake. They will occasionally wade into water to gobble up a few spawning fish, pollywogs, frogs, salamanders or crayfish. Barred owls will even come to a campfire if it illuminates large insects, such as June bugs and the like.

If you ever find yourself back East in Brooklyn, New York, take a few minutes and visit the art museum. John James Audubon’s original illustration of the Barred Owl stalking a gray

squirrel — engraved and colored by Robert Havell’s London workshop — is on display there.

Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for an owl about the size of our local great horned, but without any “horns.” Don’t be bashful about sending me an email

if you see one; I promise, I won’t shoot it or tell anyone from Wildlife Services where you live. And if it sings that eightnote song to you, consider yourself one of the Lucky Ones.

The Cannabis Consumption Conundrum

73 VOLUME 26 ISSUE 28 / JULY 14, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Limits placed on where, how cannabis purchased and taxed here can be legally consumed is costing Oregon millions in revenue, taxes and jobs

www.tokyostarfish.com

By Josh Jardine

S

ummer is here! The great outdoors, longer days, vacations and engaging in social situations with others, which for many will result in frequent cannabis consumption sessions.

In other words, y’all are gonna get hiiiiiighh with your friends every damn where, all the damn time, for the whole damn “Hot Stoned Summer.” Smoking circles are back and passing the Dutchie ‘pon the left hand side.

But be it a beach, forest, park,ash l camp site, sidewalk or park- Unsp ing lot, smoking a joint or hitting the vape pen in public is still an illegal activity. Granted, the likelihood of being cited or arrested for burning one down remains extremely low, but it’s against the law.

And as “cannabis consumption” is still used as a cause for searches by law enforcement, especially in Black and BIPOC communities, which has led to very bad things such as fatal shootings, it’s a real concern.

Consumption is only legal within a private residence (that you own, or with the owner’s permission), and in a yard/ porch/outdoor space fenced off and set up so those passing by can’t see the consumption.

Oregon sold over a billion dollars’ worth of cannabis last year, and took in nearly $178 million in cannabis taxes, not to mention revenue generated from the 70,000 cannabis industry jobs. But the limits placed on where and how the cannabis purchased and taxed here can be legally consumed is costing Oregon millions in revenue, taxes and jobs.

Cannabis tourism is now a $17 billion business. Residents and visitors LOVE to get high here, especially in beautiful outdoor settings. Ever seen a sunset on the Oregon Coast? Ever seen one…on weed? OK, then.

But while Oregon wants its cannabis to be purchased through the regulated and taxed system, it isn’t as eager to see regulated and licensed spaces allowing consumption of what was just purchased. In some spaces—bar, restaurant, hotel room—tobacco isn’t allowed either, and the Clean Air Act rules are meant to keep the byproducts of traditional cannabis consumption, secondhand smoke, from those who don’t wish to be around it.

Which is fair, but the options for consumption diminish even further with excluded outdoor restaurants, breweries, rooftop spaces, and other spaces

with the required obstructed view barriers. Their Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission’s alcohol serving license doesn’t permit it, as you can’t have adults double fisting with a pint and a joint. Mayhem would ensure, hence why you never see anyone consuming the two together anywhere, ever.

This is where the issue gets contentious to some cannabis consumers—the differences between what’s allowed for alcohol versus cannabis events and consumption, with both heavily regulated and “Sin” taxed adult product industries.

The staggering number of beers, ciders, wines, spirits and meads offered at dozens of festivals and competitions across the state nearly every weekend are marketed and enjoyed as educational and experiential opportunities. They provide “producer to consumer” experiences, enrich the knowledge base of intoxicating plant-based beverage consumers, and of course, consumption. Lots of drinking of alcohol. The goal is a more educated, empowered, and experienced alcohol buyer.

Package label dose directions are great, but to fully engage a consumer on the benefits, limits and potential pitfalls of any product involves consumption.

That’s why a beer fest with without any beers is the 2nd circle of Hell.

But those alcohol festivals are also allowed to sell tickets to their events.

Admission to cannabis events that have managed to overcome the regulatory hurdles must be free if cannabis is to be given away or otherwise provided.

And those small, organic, craft cannabis growers that are the farmer’s market equivalent of producers with fervent and free spending fan bases? They aren’t allowed to share or sell directly to the public either.

Cannabis consumers deserve access to opportunities on par with what the alcohol industry is allowed. People learn their tolerance and limits and safer ingestion through both discussion and consumption. That results in a consumer making better choices.

Other states are regulating and licensing indoor consumption lounges, which could serve as a revenue, tax and job creating sector in Oregon as well. Providing regulated consumption opportunities results in safer cannabis consumers, to themselves and others.

he bland, gray cinder block of a building at Southwest Fourth and J Streets may soon transform into a gem of the Madras skyline.

The owners of Initiative Brewing plan to take their brewing operation to Madras, turning what was the Jefferson County Public Health offices into a family-friendly brewpub.

The design adds dimension to the skyline with a glassed-in second story to house brewing equipment.

“We’re excited to be on the ground floor of something big,” said Chris Brumley, who co-owns Initiative Brewing with his partner Ryan Churchill.

“We think Madras is the next town in the area to take off.”

The Initiative proposal solves two problems facing the city and the county. The county has a buyer for an eyesore of a building. The city of Madras has long been looking to add a brewpub to the downtown mix.

Initiative opened its Redmond location in 2019. They plan to move the brewing operation to Madras along with a commercial kitchen, a tasting room, indoor dining, and a family friendly/pet friendly patio with fire pits.

“It’s a one-stop shopping family experience where you can get a pint of beer, and quality, conscientiously made food,” said Brumley. The partners take pride in locally sourcing their food and

providing alternatives for customers with food allergies.

Brumley and Churchill have spent almost a year on this project and are on the verge of pulling all the financing together to make it happen.

At its June 28 meeting, the Madras City Council voted to grant Initiative $100,000 of America Rescue Plan Act funds as stimulus for projects that bring jobs and business to the city.

Brumley and Churchill expect to hire about 47 people at the Madras location.

“My opinion is that the health building is really ugly,” said Councilor Gary Walker. “That would be a really nice improvement and it might bring more young working people to the area.”

“Madras would have a go-to place for people traveling. We don’t have a lot of that,” said Councilor Lamar Yoder. “Some people will stop in Madras for specifically that reason.”

The partners estimate the project cost at $1.5 million. They’re renting from the county until they pull together the full funding package.

If everything comes together they hope to begin construction this fall with completion sometime in fall or winter of 2023.

founded Get Out The Box, an organization that mentors at-risk youth in low-income and rural communities. Here’s one of his central teachings: “Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life.

Tiptoe if you must, but take the step.” Even if you don’t fit the profile of the people Callaway serves, his advice is perfect for you right now. For the time being, I urge you to shelve any plans you might have for grandiose actions. Focus on just one of the many possible tasks you could pursue and carry it out with determined focus.

best Capricorn you can be in the coming weeks and months: 1. Develop a disciplined, well-planned strategy to achieve more freedom. 2. Keep clambering upwards even if you have no competitors and there’s no one else at the top. 3. Loosen your firm grasp and steely resolve just enough so you can allow the world to enjoy you. 4. Don’t let the people you love ever think you take them for granted. 5. Be younger today than you were yesterday.

Regaling you with:

known for years told me, “Here’s a secret about us Lions. No matter what happens, despite any pitfalls and pratfalls, my ego will stay intact. It ain’t gonna crack. You can hurl five lightning bolts’ worth of insults at my skull, and I will walk away without even a hint of a concussion. I believe in myself and worship myself, but even more importantly: I trust my own self-coherence like I trust the sun to shine.” Wow! That’s quite a testimony.

I’m not sure I fully buy it, though. I have known a few Leos whose confidence wavered in the wake of a minor misstep. But here’s the point of my horoscope: I encourage you to allow a slight ego deflation in the coming days. If you do, I believe it will generate a major blossoming of your ego by August. And that would be a very good thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): Virgo poet Claude de Burine described how one night when she was three years old, she sneaked out of the house with her parents’ champagne bucket so she could fill it up with moonlight. I think activities like this will be a worthy pursuit for you in the coming days. You’re entering a favorable phase to go in quest of lyrical, fanciful experiences. I hope you will make yourself available for marvels and curiosities and fun surprises.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is a distinction between being nice and being kind. Being nice is often motivated by mechanical politeness, by a habit-bound drive to appear pleasant. It may be rooted more in a desire to be liked than in an authentic urge to bestow blessings. On the other hand, being kind is a sincere expression of care and concern for another. It fosters genuine intimacy. I bring these thoughts to your attention because I think that one of Libra’s life-long tasks is to master the art of being kind rather than merely nice. And right now is an especially favorable phase for you to refine your practice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the next seven to eight weeks, I’d love for you to embody an attitude about intimacy articulated by author Hélène Cixous. Here’s her aspiration: “I want to love a person freely, including all her secrets. I want to love in this person someone she doesn’t know. I want to love without judgment, without fault. Without false, without true. I want to meet her between the words, beneath language.” And yes, dear Aquarius, I know this is a monumental undertaking. If it appeals to you at all, just do the best you can to incorporate it. Perfection isn’t required.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I periodically consult a doctor of Chinese Medicine who tells me that one of the best things I can do for my health is to walk barefoot—EVERYWHERE! On the sidewalk, through buildings, and especially in the woods and natural areas. He says that being in direct contact with our beloved earth can provide me with energetic nourishment not possible any other way. I have resisted the doc’s advice so far. It would take the soles of my feet a while to get accustomed to the wear and tear of barefoot walking. I bring this up, Pisces, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to try what I haven’t yet. In fact, anything you do to deepen your connection with the earth will be extra healing. I invite you to lie in the sand, hug trees, converse with birds, shout prayers to mountains, and bathe in rivers or lakes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are entering the Season of Love’s Renewal. To celebrate, I offer you a poem by eighth-century Tamil poet Andal. Whatever gender you may be, I invite you to visualize yourself as the “Snakewaist woman” she addresses. Here’s Andal, bringing a fiery splash of exclamation points: “Arouse, Snakewaist woman! Strut your enchantment! Swoop your mirth and leap your spiral reverence! As wild peacocks shimmer and ramble and entice the lightning-nerved air! Summon thunderheads of your love! Command the sentient wind! Resurrect the flavor of eternal birth!”

August 26 & 27

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You sometimes

feel you have to tone down your smoldering intensity, avert your dark-star gazes, conceal your sultry charisma, dumb down your persuasive speech, pretend you don’t have so much stamina, disguise your awareness of supernatural connections, act less like a saint and martyr in your zealous devotions, and refrain from revealing your skill at reading between the lines. But none of that avoidance stuff usually works very well. The Real You leaks out into view. In the coming weeks, I hope you won’t engage in any of the hiding behavior I described. It’s a favorable time to freely pour forth your Scorpionic blessings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There could be interesting and important events happening while you sleep in the coming nights. If a butterfly lands on you in a dream, it may mean you’re prepping for a spiritual transformation in waking life. It could be a sign you’re receptive to a breakthrough insight you weren’t previously open to. If you dream of a baby animal, it might signify you’re ready to welcome a rebirth of a part of you that has been dormant or sluggish or unavailable. Dreams in which you’re flying suggest you may soon escape a sense of heaviness or inertia.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Tips to get the most out of the next three weeks: 1. Work harder, last longer, and finish with more grace than everyone else. 2. Be in love with beauty. Crave it, surround yourself with it, and create it. Be especially enamored of beautiful things that are also useful.

3. Taste the mist, smell the clouds, kiss the music, praise the earth, and listen to the moon in the daytime sky. 4. Never stop building! Keep building and building and building: your joy, your security, your love, your beauty, your stamina, your sense of wonder.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini astrologer Astrolocherry says that while Geminis “can appear naive and air-headed to onlookers, their minds usually operate at light speed. They naturally absorb every surrounding particle of intellectual stimuli. They constantly observe their interactions for opportunities to grow their knowledge.” I believe these qualities will function at peak intensity during the next four weeks, Gemini—maybe even beyond peak intensity. Please try to enjoy the hell out of this phase without becoming manic or overwrought. If all goes well, you could learn more in the next four weeks than most people learn in four months.

UNDERSTANDING INTIMACY:

A COLUMN THAT FOSTERS DEEPER LOVE BETWEEN COUPLES

Gotta Talk in Bend

-Richard Sitts has been the copy editor of the Source Weekly since 2014.

By Dr. Jane Guyn

Bringing up “the talk,” but not knowing how to do it

Dear Gotta, You’re not alone in this. I get this question all the time in my work with individuals, couples and groups. When sex isn’t working in your relationship, it can feel very difficult to have meaningful conversations about the problem. It only gets worse as time passes, so you’re best off braving the awkwardness now instead of waiting.

Here’s how this conversation goes when it’s not going well.

HIM: Wonderful news - another month passed and we didn’t do it.

HER: Is that right? I didn’t realize.

I’ve been busy lately with everything.

HIM: Preparing for houseguests?

Well, at least the laundry gets done.

And we have food. Yay. HER: You never appreciate what I do, but whatever.

HIM: Maybe you could do me once in a while. I guess sex with me is a chore. Low on the list.

HER: Sex with you isn’t a chore.

HIM: I don’t want you to do it as a duty. Makes me feel terrible.

HER: I’ve been under a lot of stress.

HIM: You always make excuses. We need to talk.

HER: We can set up another conversation where you tell me how inadequate I am.

HIM: I’m not saying you’re inadequate. I just need things to change.

HER: Last time we talked about this was was during our counseling session.

That was terrible.

Here are a few tips that’ll help you make this tough conversation as easy as possible.

-Use the word “we” instead of “me” or “you” as much as possible. The goal of this conversation should be about the growth of your relationship as a couple rather than about your partner’s sexual issues.

-Talk about affection, and intimacy - not just the physical act of sex.

When your partner thinks you’re

only interested in sexual gratification, instead of loving and connecting, they’ll feel hurt and resentful.

-Ask your partner how they feel about your sex life. Ask if there’s anything in your relationship dynamic that’s created barriers for them.

Ask how they feel about the quality of the sex you have.

-Reflect on your own contributions to the Issue. Intimacy is always something that’s created by both of you. You might be the higher libido partner in your relationship, but that doesn’t mean that your partner is completely to blame for the way things have been going.

-Try to understand the circumstances your partner’s facing. Maybe there are things that they need help with.

But, don’t do chores or other acts of service just to get sex. These things are separate. Both have the possibility to increase satisfaction in your marriage, but a direct exchange of chores for sex seldom works out the way it’s intended.

People sometimes suggest having the conversation in the presence of a trained professional. But sometimes the lower libido partner feels ambushed if you bring it up during a therapy session. You’ll have to decide what works best in your relationship.

Just make sure that you have privacy and plenty of time to share. Try to listen without interrupting. Make an agreement to put away your phones and any other distraction - like fur babies or work issues.

Wherever or whenever you have The Talk, your way of approaching your partner’s feelings and thoughts about sexual intimacy will make a big difference in how things turn out between you. Try to be non-judgmental and open. Focus on the purpose of your communication - to grow closer as a couple.

Having The Talk is just the first step. It’s not a single conversation.

When things are going well, talking about intimacy is an experience of communication that starts now and continues for the rest of your lives.

Dear Dr. Jane, My wife and I have had problems with intimacy for years. The last time we had sex was early in 2021. I know that we need to have “The Talk” but I have no idea how to bring up the topic of intimacy without making things even more awkward between us. I don’t want to hurt her feelings, but I need to tell my wife that I can’t just keep going without affection.

So how do I start that conversation?

-Gotta Talk in Bend

Coming to work at the Source years ago seemed like a natural career progression for me, having worked in a multitude of newsrooms across the country, from a group of New York City community weeklies to the daily Albuquerque Tribune.

The Return of Inventory

In the ever-shifting real estate market, a return to more “normal” sequence is a property going up for sale Wednesday or Thursday, with offers due by Sunday or Monday, amid frantic showings and multiple offers. It was a weekly emotional roller coaster and the only way off was to “win” a bidding war or give up the home search. During that time, it was typical that around 120-180 single family residences were for sale at any given time in Bend. As I write this article today, there are about 550 single family residences for sale in Bend. This increase in inventory has given buyers a lot more options to look at and forces sellers to price more aggressively to attract buyers.

Despite what you may have read or heard, people are still writing offers.

Buyers are just being more selective and looking for opportunities to get a deal. Anytime the market shifts there are opportunities, as some folks see the market crashing and feel like they need to sell ASAP (I am not in this crowd).

However, these nervous people are out there, and savvy buyers will find opportunities. Other opportunities exist, as they always have, what we call life happening. People get career opportunities in another city, family things happen and people move; any number of things can “force” someone to sell and to some, the urgency to complete a sale is more important than top dollar. Here in Central Oregon our region is still in high demand, but the market is changing, and homes will take longer than a week or gasp, a month or two, to sell. These are not signs of impending doom in the real estate market; rather, just it drifting back toward a healthy, normal market.

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 28 / JULY 14, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

S

ome interesting things are starting to happen in the Bend real estate market as we head full speed into the typical “busy season.” This year we have seen a massive shift as the year has gone along from frenzied to busy. Now when I say busy, I am speaking generally, the last couple years withstanding, which were an anomaly in the real estate world. The year started busy as people were frantic to get into contracts as the Fed announced the coming rate increases. It was the busiest first quarter in many, many years as everyone made one last push to try and secure a home, while locking in a low interest rate.

Now, as we are in the middle part of the year and rates have increased, we have seen a bit of a decrease in demand. Demand is still high, it is just not at the crazy level it has been the last few years, so it feels like a massive slow down and falling market, but we are still in a sellers’ market overall, just not nearly as strong of a sellers’ market as the last two years. The change that is occurring right now and we have seen over the last few weeks is that inventory is starting to come back, which will "help" buyers as sellers have to compete against each other—which was something we were not seeing much of the last few years. The other noteworthy item is, historically speaking, June is a somewhat slow month. People are busy with school getting out and going on vacations, and this year, finally enjoying some nice weather.

Any broker who worked with buyers in 2021 and the start of 2022 knows about “the weekly sequence.” This
