ast week, as news started to emerge from Uvalde, Texas, the opinion story we planned for the week was focused on another mass shooting in Buffalo. That it has happened again so soon and to so many young victims is beyond words. We spend a lot of time thinking and crafting words, and when we have no more to say about a topic… well, thoughts and prayers and words will never bring back Makenna, Layla, Maranda, Nevaeh, Jose Manuel, Xavier, Tess, Rojelio, Eliahna G., Eliahna T., Annabell, Jackie, Uziyah, Jayce, Maite, Jailah, Irma, Eva, Amerie, Alexandria and Alithia, but we add their names to this record of our times. The nonprofit newsroom, Texas Tribune, has been doing monumentally heavy lifting in covering this atrocity as local reporters who live and work in Texas; follow them if you have yet to do so. Closer to home, Jack Harvel’s feature story on youth depression seems a fitting and altogether too timely topic this week. We submit it in hopes it helps some of those who struggle in our community. Thanks for reading.

Deschutes County’s Lowered Tax Rate Brought a Predictable Outcome: Future Debt It was so predictable. Four years ago, the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners reduced the county’s tax rate, arguing that we had plenty in reserves. As we can see today, there was not plenty in reserves, but it played really well to a voter base that would relish seeing politicians go to bat to “lower our taxes.” The reduction, mind you, was negligible to the average taxpayer, with a reduction of 6 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. But that reduction is now having significant effects that were entirely foreseeable: County reserves are declining at a time when the County needs to expand services. Case in point: the county courthouse needs to expand to accommodate a growing population, and that’s just to start. When Commissioner Phil Chang proposed raising the tax rate again this past week, his proposal failed in a 3-3 split vote among the members of the Deschutes County Budget Committee. Commissioner Patti Adair voted in favor of the increase; Commissioner Tony DeBone voted no. Another negligible increase for the sheriff’s office’s rural law enforcement district did get the budget committee’s approval, resulting in an increase of 9 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. Even had the proposal succeeded, county officials say there will come a time soon when Deschutes County can no longer pay for big projects, like it did for the Stabilization Center, with money it already has. Instead, taxpayers are now facing a future in which they’d need to accrue debt to cover these types of projects.

Not long ago, the County charged the City of Bend $1 million for a piece of land that the City wanted to use for an affordable housing project. When asked why the County didn’t gift the land to the City rather than forcing it to tap into its Affordable Housing Fund to pay for it, one commissioner admitted that they’d need the money to pay for the expanded courthouse. As Bend continues to bleed its lower-paid service workers who can no longer afford to live here, keep these connections in mind. Paying slightly more in property taxes may be an annoyance to some, but on the other end, it may mean one less worker waiting to fill that job you so desperately need to fill. Some short-sighted residents who adhere to the “drown government in the bathtub” mantra will look at the current situation and say “thank you” to the commissioners who lowered their taxes and then voted in favor of keeping it that way. Others may use this as an opportunity to blame the new residents and Californians who may end up forcing them to pay higher taxes to cover the growing needs of a growing county. Like it or not, in a growing community where people expect services, we’re all going to pay. We could pay now through a small sum added back to our property taxes, or we’ll pay in the future when the county needs to use its property tax dollars to pay down debt—which will most likely come with interest. It’s all connected, and we’re going to pay for it. We expect better fiscal foresight for Deschutes County residents.

A Bend storage facility was claimed through eminent domain. Over five months later, some tenants say the owners never let them know they needed to move out. By Jack Harvel

n May 21 Joshua Hockenson started packing up his storage unit at Lucky Horseshoe Storage Facility on the north side of Bend. Inside were some prized possessions from his travels; a tapestry from Thailand, a painting of the Thousand Hand Buddha from Bhutan and the hiking gear he’d brought on his journey. Hockenson flew over 2,000 miles from Hawaii to retrieve his stuff, and if he didn’t it could’ve been lost forever. The Oregon Department of Transportation acquired the property where the storage facility was located on Dec. 31, and has since been trying to contact tenants to let them know they need to collect their stuff or it will be moved and could eventually be auctioned off. ODOT representatives said the task was made more difficult by the former owner, Joel Gisler, who didn’t provide ODOT with a list of tenants until midMay, well after it was supposed to be evacuated, ODOT said. The facility was claimed through eminent domain as part of the expansion and realignment of Highway 97 to help reduce congestion. Work is set to begin in the fall and conclude by winter 2024. “We actually just received the list from the former owner last week (as of May 24),” said Kacey Davey, public information officer at ODOT. “That was the time when everyone was supposed to be out already. There were still 20 folks left that we hadn’t gotten in touch with.” Gisler, the property’s former owner, did not respond to numerous voicemails when this article went to print. By now only five people remain unreachable by ODOT. Prior to that the tenants of the 500-unit facility had to learn via word of mouth, social media, news stories or legal notices in The Bulletin. Hockenson, who began renting a space in the summer of 2020, only found out by noticing discrepancies in his bank account. “The only way I found out that this place was closed was by not seeing that I had autopay deductions taken out,” Hockenson said. “Then I had looked it up because it was, I think, January was last time they charged me.” Hockenson will spend nearly $2,000 on his trip to save his belongings and would’ve paid more if he didn’t have friends who helped with lodging and travel. Others reported they continued to be charged after the property changed hands and that the facility, only recently built, didn’t protect their items. “I noticed that there were definitely openings in it for rodents to get into and you could tell had been neglected. There’s padding that goes in the ceiling

that had come down,” said Kombo Lynn, a Lucky Horseshoe tenant who was recently made aware the facility closed down. “The main reason I had a storage unit was I had this rare, one-of-a-kind couch from 1931, all original upholstery, original stuffing, and mice destroyed it.” A class-action lawsuit was discussed among tenants, but it never materialized after the group had trouble finding a lawyer to take the case, according to a potential plaintiff. ODOT said Gisler, the former owner, never gave a reason for his refusal to hand over a tenants’ list. Gisler took ownership of the property in 2007 along with his wife Julia. The property was transferred over from Patrick Gisler, according to county records. It sat undeveloped until the Lucky Horseshoe was built throughout 2018 and incorporated in 2019. A year before it got built, ODOT made an offer to buy the property for its North Hwy 97 improvement project— a project that’s been discussed as early as 2008 and finally got funding through the state in 2017. “We considered buying the property in 2017 through an early acquisition process, but it didn’t work out at that time,” Davey wrote in an email. “We started the acquisition process for the property in summer 2021, knowing that the project was fully funded and ready to break ground in 2022.” When ODOT sought to acquire the property in 2017 it would’ve had a real market value of around $1.5 million, according to Deschutes County property records. By the time ODOT negotiated with Gisler during the summer of 2021 the value had nearly quadrupled to just under $6 million, valuing the property’s structures at $4.8 million. According to public records, Gisler, a builder and developer who’s lived in Bend over 50 years, owns dozens of properties in Deschutes County and his trust has owned and operated storage facilities. ODOT’s been left to pick up the pieces of Gisler’s land sale, contacting and paying relocation benefits to tenants for the trouble of finding new storage units. The sale is going through the court process and ODOT said it can’t provide the specific price it paid, but the offer is “fair market value.” ODOT’s hoping the remaining tenants can be reached rather than resorting to auctioning off units. “We don’t exactly have a plan yet; we’ll probably move the belongings somewhere else for now. And in the future, hopefully someone will reach out,” Davey said. “We’re still hoping to have everything claimed.”

Storage units are marked E for empty. Most items have been claimed despite the former owner delaying the process of providing a list of tenants, but five units remain untouched.

Endicott Opts Out

The longtime Redmond Mayor announces he will not seek reelection

7 VOLUME 26 ISSUE 22 / JUNE 2, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

By Jack Harvel Courtesy of George Endicott

Redmond Mayor George Endicott announced he wouldn’t seek reelection on May 31, after holding the position through seven election cycles and 14 years. In a press release, Endicott highlighted accomplishments like the Redmond airport terminal expansion, the creation of Centennial Park, supporting affordable housing projects, the 2022 public safety building bond measure and more. “Several factors have played into my decision. I’m not getting any younger and have an extensive bucket list which includes travel,” Endicott said. “It’s also time for some younger and new blood to occupy City Hall.” Endicott says he’s dedicating the last seven months of his term managing growth, including planning for the expansion of Redmond’s wastewater treatment facility and securing federal funds for transportation projects. “Over the years, Council has maintained a policy of conservative fiscal responsibility. Our outstanding staff has provided the tools and assistance for us to accomplish great things while protecting our financial integrity,” he said. Endicott closed his letter by thanking residents for their support and stated his belief that Redmond should remain conservative. “I believe Redmond should maintain its conservative roots,” Endicott said. “As I have always said, ‘A city government’s overarching responsibilities are public health, public safety, infrastructure and economic development.'”

“Several factors have played into my decision. I’m not getting any younger and have an extensive bucket list which includes travel.” —GEORGE ENDICOTT Endicott is the third Central Oregon mayor that opted out of the office in recent days. Former Bend Mayor Sally Russell announced she wouldn’t seek reelection in April, and later decided to resign effective Bend’s Regular City Council Meeting on May 18. Madras Mayor Richard Ladeby told voters on May 11 that he wouldn’t seek a third term.

Las flores silvestres como las amapolas florecen a lo largo de las orillas del invernadero para atraer a los polinizadores. Cuando las compuertas están abiertas, entran y salen volando libremente. Las plantas acompañantes se agrupan para crear el ecosistema más beneficioso posible. Sagar quiere que toda persona experimente y entienda la importancia del crecimiento sustentable. “La manera en que el transporte de alimentos y el monocultivo se han llevado a cabo durante décadas ha provocado emisiones de carbono, ha empobrecido la tierra y creado alimentos menos ricos en nutrientes. Estas prácticas son insustentables” Mucha gente preferiría conocer el origen de sus alimentos, pero los invernaderos pueden ser una buena inversión de tiempo y dinero. Aquí es donde Sagar quiere llenar ese vacío. Los clientes solo tienen que seguir el lema de tres palabras: semilla, alimento, cosecha. Todo el trabajo agotador, desde la excavación hasta la construcción e incluso la plantación están a cargo de los expertos.

“Mi deseo es que todo hogar cultive su propio alimento” ¿Un sueño? No para la mente de Shiv Sagar, un optimista que transforma 10 acres del desierto alto en un paraíso de premacultura. En las noticias locales las palabras “Hunnel Road” a menudo evocan ideas de personas desamparadas y RVs deteriorados, pero después de la calle cerrada el camino se abre de nuevo un poco más al norte y da paso a un oasis conocido como Shakti Farm Design. Sagar comenzó su camino en Bend guiando meditaciones, una práctica que sigue llevando a cabo cada jueves en Hanai Center. Durante la COVID, el confinamiento le otorgó a la mayoría de la gente mucho tiempo libre. En vez de ponerse al corriente con los programas de Netflix, Shiv eligió crear una finca sustentable en el desierto alto, siendo una tarea nada fácil tal como lo saben aquellas personas que han tratado de cultivar alimento en el Centro de Oregon. Cuando llegué a la finca, Sagar platicó con el grupo mientras que esperábamos con ansia entrar al enorme invernadero de 30x96 pies. Mientras tanto, tocaba música relajante de flauta de la India, porque a las plantas les encanta la vibración, indicó Shiv. La espera no nos decepcionó. Frondosa vegetación llenaba el interior del invernadero. Un camino de trozos de madera atravesaba los montones de Hügelkultur en forma de espirales. Esta geometría crea corrientes de energías para fomentar el crecimiento. Debajo de los montones, un abono de cartón, heno y troncos de arbolistas locales se combinan para crear una tierra negra tan rica que hasta los gusanos de tierra eran vistos al levantar un puño de tierra.

Teenagers are experiencing the highest rates of hopelessness ever recorded. Local programs have been helpful, but barriers to mental health care remain By Jack Harvel

he Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the results of a troubling survey on March 31, finding that 44% of high school students in the United States reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness over the past year in 2021. It’s the sharpest increase in youth hopelessness since the CDC began tracking the data, up from 37% in 2019, but the trend since 2004 is consistently toward poorer mental health among high schoolers. Feelings of sadness or hopelessness are most pronounced in young women (57%) and LGBT individuals (76%). The CDC narrowed down the myriad of reasons students feel more hopeless than ever into broad factors such as decreased socialization, physical and emotional abuse at home, financial stressors, loss of a caregiver, feeling a lack of belonging at school and unfiltered access to news. “I’m sure there are several causes there. The increased social media usage; there are lots of pressures put on young individuals—I have several teens that I’m working with now that are acutely aware of all of the social justice issues and issues that marginalized communities face, and experiencing that themselves, are very plugged into what is going on in the world,” said Amy Richardson, program supervisor for Deschutes County Behavioral Health’s Child, Family and Young Adult Outpatient program. CFYA is part of a patchwork of local services dedicated to treating teen mental health. Public health departments, schools and private programs are all seeking to address the increasing number of teens facing mental health crises. In a press release accompanying the survey, the CDC’s acting principal deputy director says research shows proper support systems can reverse these trends, but those services are stretched thin. Oregon has the fifth-highest rate of serious mental illness in the U.S., according to World Population Review. Mental Health America, a nonprofit mental health advocacy group, weighed prevalence of mental health and access to care: Oregon ranked last

for adults and 47th for youth. “I just know that there is a huge need for mental health services, and it feels like the need keeps growing. And we’re doing the best that we can to respond to it,” Richardson says.

The in-school approach to teen mental health

Fewer than half of the respondents to the CDC survey reported feeling close to people at school during the pandemic. As learning became digitized, students felt less connected to their peers when conferencing over Zoom. A Harvard Graduate School of Education survey found loneliness among students spiked more significantly than any other group. “There are many intentional actions taking place in schools every day that are really centered around student wellness, which is tied directly to a sense of belonging,” wrote Jenifer Hauth, Bend-La Pine Schools’ director of social, emotional and mental well-being, in an email.

Those actions can include anything from bus drivers personally greeting students, allowing for a wide range of clubs, teacher intervention and anti-bullying programs. Social and emotional support is only one facet of school counselors’ jobs, but they can often be a bridge to long-term care. In schools, long-term care can involve connecting students to school psychologists, or referrals to the district’s two school-based health centers. Every school in the district is staffed with at least two people trained in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, and all staff are trained in “Question, Persuade, Refer” suicide prevention training. “If they see a youth struggling in that arena they can intervene with the best practices in evidence-based ways,” said Caroline Suiter, Deschutes County’s suicide prevention coordinator. Training often gives teachers a better understanding of the warning signs associated with mental health crises. “One thing that we always talk about is that if you see a significant change, if a youth tends to operate one way… and then it shifts to the other side of the spectrum, that would be a warning sign.” Courtesy of the CDC

Youthline

Sometimes the people helping students suffering a mental health crisis are other students. YouthLine, a call/text/ email crisis hotline for people under 20, is staffed with students who attend over 60 hours of training before they can begin talking with contacts. From 4-10 pm, student volunteers will usually talk with five different contacts simultaneously throughout their shift. The peerto-peer model proved to be effective at pulling students out of a crisis. “From a non-high acuity call, we can de-escalate about 98% of the time,” said Mel Butterfield, assistant director for YouthLine’s Central Oregon Call Center. “High acuity—so those ones that are actively talking about suicide, or suicidal thoughts or ideology, those ones are a little bit less, between 94 and 95%. But still, you’re above 90—to me that’s hugely impactful.’ Volunteers say a lot of their contacts call or text the hotline about issues among family and friends. YouthLine’s advantage over more traditional counseling and therapy is that the volunteers at YouthLine have first-hand experience about issues facing teens, and they’re often more comfortable expressing that to peers than professionals. “Sometimes we get contacts that only want to talk to a certain person. It may be someone has an eating disorder, and they want to talk to another girl who’s also a teenager who also maybe struggles with that, because they can relate,” said Paige, a Youthline volunteer who provided just her first name to maintain YouthLine’s anonymity. “We already have that ground level of trust with a lot of people.”

Public Health’s response to youth crises

Hotlines like YouthLine are a cornerstone of suicide prevention, but if someone calls YouthLine outside of its hours of operations they’re referred elsewhere. Deschutes County operates its own 24-hour crisis line, and a Stabilization Center for people experiencing a crisis. The Stabilization Center is open to adults and youth, and individually tailors treatments for each individual, but there are additional considerations to account for with younger visitors. “For kids, we’re often having to consider more than just the child, and we want their families to be involved and have that support system in place,” said Holly Harris, program manager for Deschutes County Behavioral Health Crisis Services. “Oftentimes, we really are helping parents understand how to help their child once they leave our facility.”

Other Avenues

Deschutes Wilderness Therapy Patients spend over two months roughing it outdoors, with a mix of therapy, activities and responsibilities.

The stabilization center can only see clients for up to 23 hours—otherwise the center would be categorized as a licensed residential treatment facility. Most immediate crises can be resolved in four to six hours, Harris explained, but as a public health program it has pathways to ongoing care.

al trends of increased rates of depression have borne out locally, including in rises in emergency department visits. Treatments can cross over with what’s offered at the crisis center, like peer support and access to medication, but what CFYA really excels at is ongoing Jack Harvel

Youthline volunteers take texts and calls from contacts at their offices. The student volunteers are expected to juggle five contacts simultaneously throughout their shift.

Private therapy practices and counselors also help young people. One of the more ambitious models practiced locally is outdoor therapy. Deschutes Wilderness Therapy plans months-long expeditions into the wilderness where students engage in therapy and accept roles to maintain life in the woods. “It’s about building resiliency, self-awareness, confidence, communication skills. The students that graduate from the program are accomplishing something that very few people have accomplished,” said Drew Hornbeck, co-founder of Deschutes Wilderness Theory. The setting in Deschutes National Forest also helps ground students in a more natural daily rhythm without the potential distractions of phones and television. “Right now, technology has evolved so quickly. And when you’re enduring a lot of stress, especially at a young age, all of a sudden you have all the social media, all the screens and the screen addiction issues,” said Andrew Scott, executive director at Deschutes Wilderness Therapy. “The natural healing power of the outdoor setting presents some of the best opportunity to get grounded, to start to have a certain presence within just the role, the day, the life, to be able to start to have a presence and start to be back in your body, to be introspective.” Such programs are expensive to run, though, and expensive to participate in. The program costs over $500 a day, making it unaffordable for many Central Oregon families without a scholarship or insurance, which Scott said made up a little over half of their clients. Barriers like cost and availability aren’t limited to Deschutes Wilderness Therapy, it’s a problem with a lot of mental health programs that face the same staffing, funding and operational challenges as other health care providers, Sawyer said. “Adolescent hospitalization options are really limited. Most of the residential treatment programs across the country are full, and are taking up to six months to get somebody into. And then, there’s a good number of programs that have been closing,” said Steve Sawyer, senior clinical consultant for Deschutes Wilderness Therapy. “Most programs have been moving more and more to lesser and lesser acuity, and only accepting that, while our high acuity is rising and rising.”

therapy sessions. “Therapy would be paramount, whether that’s individual family or group therapy,” Richardson said. “The typical course of treatment is completely individualized. So, depending on the diagnosis, and what’s recommended for that, there are different therapies that would be recommended based on whatever the diagnosis and current need is.”

Schools can identify potential mental health issues, but for comprehensive treatment students will need to turn to health care professionals, or in some cases semi-professionals.

Profit Drama’s latest album, “Luna,” was inspired while under the night sky in Joshua Tree By Isaac Biehl

t the beginning of April, Trevor Martell of Profit Drama arrived at the Rancho De La Luna recording studio in Joshua Tree. Many big names have spent time there to record or get inspiration— Arctic Monkeys, Snow Patrol, Foo Fighters, Kurt Vile and many more. Martell, currently living on a farm in Ashwood, Oregon, found himself there to play bass for a recording session and tour stop with a band named Vela. After finding out where the session was, Martell couldn’t pass up the opportunity and brought along his own mobile recording kit to Joshua Tree. After the first day of tracking, Martell was waiting outside his cabin, staring up at the moon, when the idea and concept of falling in love with the moon came to him. On day two, Martell continued to explore this feeling and burst of creativity. “During break, I set up on the front porch of the studio and the owner came out, curious to what was happening. I showed him what I was working on and he started handing me all these crazy analog synths and fully embraced my project!,” recalls Martell. “The first wild thing he had behind the drum kit was the original LinnDrum machine that is all over Prince’s catalog and lots of great 80s records. One night he let me take this ‘70s analog synth back to the cabin, called the Pro-One, that makes unique bass frequencies. There are multiple songs that feature odd sounds from this box called Critter & Guitari that seem to never generate the same sound twice.”

Sometimes you find inspiration in the craziest places. Other times you just have to look up.

At first Martell found the history flowing through the studio overwhelming, but as soon as studio owner David Catching greeted him with bare feet in the sand, any worries were out the window. “He has a way of opening up someone’s artistic energy without stepping on your feet. I once said, ‘What’re we doing, summoning demons here?’ and he whispers, ‘We call them angels here,’ with a grin on his face.”

With the atmosphere and support from Catching, that project Martell started would end up becoming the latest Profit Drama album, the appropriately titled “Luna.” “Each day, he’d (Catching) hand me new instruments to try out. I barely slept during the five days. We finished Vela’s record and after arriving at home, I finished the 10 songs all started in Joshua Tree; and voila! A full love/breakup story about falling in love with the moon.”

A 10-track-album that doesn’t follow any rules, “Luna” will shoot glitchyrock-lasers at you one minute (“Star Child”), then mellow out with Martell’s country-esque “Desperado.” In theory, all of these elements make sense when you think of the inspiration—the moon is a different world, and space is so vast with all of its mysteries. Martell pulls inspiration from every corner possible as if he was scanning every inch of the night sky to find what he needed. Whether it’s hip-hop, punk, or electronic-based, Martell makes listening to “Luna” a fun experience as no two songs sound too similar. “I tend to enjoy eclectic albums that grow and breathe, like humans. I always change my mind and, like, trying things outside of comfort, different vocal characters. Consider it a schizophrenic album!” says Martell. Ultimately, the experience of recording in Joshua Tree and creating “Luna” has helped Martell’s creativity grow in a new way. “I do feel opened up creatively by it, for sure. I like the idea of taking a word or term and putting multiple meanings to it to tell a story, which by the end is up to interpretation. Not that you have to dig into narrative to enjoy music. But, it’s there for people who do,” he says. “Does the character die by the end? If so, from what, heartbreak from Luna? Who knows! Check out the next album to find out.” Listen to “Luna” now on Apple Music, Spotify, and Bandcamp.

whiskey & brew WHISKEY & SPIRITS Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey, Oregon - Orange citrus aromas. Delicately sweet with rich malt and clean vanilla notes. Distilled from same malts as Dead Guy Ale. Ocean-aged by the Pacific Ocean and Yaquina Bay. Double Gold 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Platinum 2016 World Beverage Competition.

Bulleit Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - Made by following the smallbatch technique inspired by Augustus Bulleit over 150 years ago. Only the highest quality ingredients are used. Bulleit Bourbon’s subtlety and complexity stem from its unique blend of rye, corn and barley malt, along with special strains of yeast. Because Bulleit Bourbon is especially high in rye content, it has a bold and spicy character with a distinctively smooth, clean finish. The hints of oak and spice, the russet color, the crisp, clean flavor that feels smooth in the throat, the notes of vanilla and honey – all add up to a bourbon that has a distinct and individual character. The complex taste of Bulleit Bourbon is something that can only be appreciated once tried. Crater Lake Reserve Rye Whiskey - Crater Lake Reserve Rye Whiskey is made with all American grown rye and aged three years in new American oak. Subtly sweet at the onset, rich notes of toffee give way to a distinct peppery finish. Its higher proof and pronounced rye ﬂavor are the perfect match for complex cocktails or the serious whiskey enthusiast.

Redemption Rye, Indiana - Beautiful flavored Rye spice with light floral and citrus notes. Slight mint finish makes this great for sipping or mixing in a classic cocktail. True Rye flavor due to the 95% Rye in the mash bill. Oregon Spirit Distillers Straight American Bourbon Whiskey - Oregon Spirit Distillers Bourbon Whiskey is a four-grain bourbon made with corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley. This whiskey is made and aged for four years on site in Bend, Oregon. After four years of maturation in new American white oak barrels, the barrels are married and a touch of water is added to bring our whiskey to 94 proof. Oregon Spirit Distillers Bourbon stays true to the sweet corn-on-the-cob nature of bourbon with a spicy cinnamon twist from the rye grain. Crater Lake Rock & Rye - Classic drink with Rye Whiskey, dark cherry, blood orange and bitters. Ready to drink: great for camping and tailgating.

BEERS Michelob Ultra - Michelob ULTRA is a superior light beer that is made for those living active and balanced lifestyles. This light lager is brewed with Herkules hops and wholesome grains, creating exceptional taste and a crisp, refreshing finish. 10 Barrel Nature Calls IPA Mountain IPA? It’s the merger of two prominent IPA styles: a West Coast IPA and an East Coast Hazy IPA. Delivering a smooth profile that consists of mango, tangerine, and grapefruit, we’ve mixed the tropical fruitiness of a hazy with the piney, juicy, citrus of a traditional IPA. This Mountain IPA was brewed for hitting the outdoors because nothing beats this combo when you’re chilling around the fire. 10 Barrel Rock Hop IPA After a full day of trekking, side-stepping a rock ledge, or scrambling to the summit, set down your pack and crack one open. Rock Hop is a cold fermented lager with the bold hoppiness traditionally seen in a West Coast IPA. Azacca, Cashmere, El Dorado, and Idaho 7 hops give notes of fresh pine and orange zest with low bitterness on a soft malt backbone. Lace up your boots, stash a few cans, and get hiking! Elysian Contact Haze Hazy IPA - Brewed in Washington, Elysian Contact Haze IPA uses a quirky mix of ingredients for a special flavor. A blend of punchy hops like El Dorado®, Mosaic® and Southern Passion give this beverage bright, fruity notes. Juicy and succulent, Elysian Hazy IPA is brimming with bursts of raspberry, citrus, guava and passion fruit. Golden Road Mango Cart Wheat Ale - A series inspired by the iconic fruit cart vendors of Los Angeles. A light, refreshing wheat ale with lots of fresh mango and a pleasant, slightly tart finish.

Widmer Coldwaters IPA - Cold Waters is a Cold IPA that combines the hoppiness of a traditional IPA with the crispness of a lager. It’s the perfect combination of clean and hoppy, with citrus and stone fruit flavors, and a refreshingly smooth finish. Just like you love cold refreshing beer, wild Salmon love the cold and clean water that play a crucial role in the ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. Widmer Hefeweizen - Meet the beer that started it all. Our naturally cloudy flagship brew starts with the highest quality wheat. It’s bold, clean flavor and pronounced citrus and floral aromas are what define American-style hefeweizen. Bud Light Seltzer Cherry Limeade - Sweet and tart with a full cherry, fruit punch flavor, and a zesty lime finish...it's a zinger. Bud Light Seltzer Black Cherry - Bud Light Seltzer Black Cherry is an easy drinking hard seltzer with a hint of delicious black cherry flavor. These hard seltzer drinks are made with a unique 5 step filtration process to ensure a clean, refreshing finish with no lingering aftertaste. Thanks to natural carbonation and quality ingredients like sparkling water, real cane sugar and natural cherry flavor, these hard fruit drinks are light, bubbly and made to deliver the most refreshing taste possible. 10 Barrel Refreshy Hard Cider Juicy Pomegranate - Refreshed and ready... This hard cider blends crisp apples from the Northwest with pomegranate juice to create an inviting fruit flavor that perfectly complements the bright apple character you know and love. The result is balanced and refreshing with maximum drinkability. Kona Big Wave Golden Ale - Big Wave is a lighter-bodied golden ale with a tropical hop aroma and flavor— smooth, easy drinking, and refreshing. The use of caramel malt contributes to the golden hue of this beer, and our special blend of hops provides a bright, quenching finish that makes it a struggle to not grab another one.

CENTR ALOREGONBBQ.COM

Redemption Rye Rum Cask Finish, Indiana - Straight rye whiskey, finished in Jamaica and Barbados rum barrels for 4 to 14 months. The Barbados barrels give a warm richness, and the Jamaica barrels give a fruity finish. Both flavors combine into a long finish.

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Woodford Reserve is built around flavor. The art of making fine bourbon first took place on the site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery, a National Historic Landmark, in 1812. The perfectly balanced taste of our Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is composed of more than 200 detectable flavor notes, from bold grain and wood, to sweet aromatics, spice, and fruit & floral notes.

GUNG HO FOR SUMMER SHOWS Can you feel it? Summer concerts are in the air By Chris Williams Well, people, the time is finally here. Let the summer concerts galore begin! For months it seemed like you just had to blink an eye and there would be a new concert announcement at Hayden Homes Amphitheater. As things stand, there are 50 shows lined up from June to Oct. With so much hype around the amphitheater it’d be hard to blame folks for overlooking all the other awesome show announcements around town. Last week the Source’s “Summer Concert Guide” tallied over 250 shows at other venues around Central Oregon, making it so any given day there is an insane number of choices to see live music at stellar venues. We are excited to bring back Gung-Ho for Shows—our roundup of big shows, kicking things off with ZZ Top, who opens up the concert season at Hayden Homes June 7, and Joshua Ray Walker who will bring honky tonk to Silver Moon Brewing. Courtesy ZZ Top

After a decades-long career ZZ Top needs no introduction. The rock legends will set the mood for summer as the group hypes the release of its new album, “Raw,” set to come out July 22. With a 50-year catalog stacked up, the show will have a bit of everything spanning the decades, making a show with plenty of room for new stuff to be discovered alongside a sprinkling in of all the classics. If you want to start the concert season off with a bang be sure to begin here. Joshua Ray Walker is a show that might be flying under the radar a bit. With performances on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and a ton of critical acclaim, Silver Moon landed a big act with an exceptional sound. Walker possesses a deep voice with plenty of twang paired perfectly with a multi-pieced honky-tonk band. Be sure to snag tickets before word gets out! Walker will perform Saturday at 7pm.

Pride Month Begins

Central Oregon rolls out a full month of LGBTQ+ friendly events By Nicole Vulcan

Charlie Sprinkman (top left) with 10 Barrel’s Tonya Cornett (top right) brewing up a batch of Out Loud Beer in honor of Pride Month.

that week—I was a cabin counselor, I led the outdoor adventure program and led a workshop on environmentalism—and just coming off of that really euphoric experience of being with 100 queer people, I was like, how can I create something like this feeling for more people across our country, because that was, like, the best week of my life. It was so amazing. And so I was

39 driving back to Colorado where I lived at the time and literally, the words Everywhere is Queer came to mind and I like thought of, a worldwide map of queer-owned businesses. I was living in Bend when it launched in January of 2022. I moved here in September of 2021. So I had been briefly working on it before, but it did launch in Bend, Oregon. SW: What brought you to the city? CS: I have college friends that moved here post-college in 2019—just very good friends of mine. I’m actually living with them, and they were, like, we love it here, you should come check it out. So I came in, checked it out—but I will plug that, seeing and having been friends with Wyn [Wiley]—Pattie Gonia—moving to Bend was just like, really promoting the amazing community that existed here. It was definitely a layer of, like, OK, I’ll move there if there’s a strong queer community and that is absolutely my experience. SW: You said now, you have 28 businesses on the map for Bend. So, do you think is that a high number compared to other towns of this size? CS: I don’t know the exact numbers—I’d have to look, but I honestly want to say that number, 28, is probably close to any other major city. I think that that’s more than Portland, Oregon. I think it’s probably close to New York and L.A. of what we currently have on the map. In a partnership with Everywhere is Queer, 10 Barrel in Bend and Gold Spot Brewing in Denver, along with other breweries, will brew a special beer titled “Out Loud Beer” in honor of Pride Month. In Bend, the beer will be on offer during the queer-owned business market June 22. A portion of the sales of the beer will go to a nonprofit of each brewery’s choosing. As of this writing, 16 queer-owned businesses will take part in the business market. Find all the events listed for Central Oregon Pride at outcentraloregon.com/pride.

inter PrideFest in Central Oregon was a raucous time filled with dance parties, drag brunches and more. As winter (kind of) gives way to summer, OUT Central Oregon is back with a full month of events for Pride Month. Events are continually being added to OUT Central Oregon’s Pride web page at outcentraloregon.com/pride, but some on the horizon this week include an LGBTQ Salsa class on June 2, First Thursday meet and greets with Come OUT Bend at Canteen, a drag variety show from Cult of Tuck on June 4, and a Roller Pride Dance & Skate Party at The Pavilion on June 10. And of course, the big event, including a parade, happens June 25. Also happening later this month: a business showcase featuring LGBTQ+-owned businesses in Bend, hosted by Everywhere is Queer—a website listing queer-owned businesses around the world, started by Bendite Charlie Sprinkman. Sprinkman (he/they), who moved to Bend in 2021, started Everywhere is Queer after spending time in a job that required lots of travel around the country. I chatted with Sprinkman about the project and the plans for the queer-owned business market, happening June 22 at 10 Barrel West. Source Weekly: Tell me about the genesis of Everywhere is Queer. Charlie Sprinkman: I grew up 30 miles east of Milwaukee, Wisconsin—a small little rural town, super Catholic, super conservative. I really struggled to come to terms with my sexuality and stuff. I went off to college in Colorado, studied Entrepreneurship, minor in Global Environmental Sustainability. And then post-college I hit the road and worked for an organic beverage company where I traveled to 42 of the 50 states, and this is where it all subconsciously started. Going throughout my travels, [I’d find] like queer hangouts here or queer spots there; sometimes I couldn’t really find anything. Everywhere is Queer had not come to mind quite yet. But I think this was like the first layer. And then July of 2021—so last summer, I volunteered at Brave Trails, which is a queer youth leadership camp outside of L.A.—Big Bear. And after

Greening the High Desert

A permaculture farm on Hunnel Road demonstrates the abundance that can happen, even in the High Desert By Joshua Savage

were seen when picking up even one handful. Mushrooms sprout in some parts of the wood chips, the fungus a sure sign of a healthy environment. Wildflowers such as poppies bloom outside along the borders of the greenhouse to attract pollinators. When the flaps are open they fly in and out freely. Companion plants are grouped together to create the most beneficial ecosystem possible. Brian Ross, the manager, offered a treasure trove of information. Working in Phoenix, parts of Colorado and other climates, his passion for permaculture was obvious. An experimenter, he discussed the differences in California and Florida avocados, the seemingly endless varieties of herbs and greens, and other creative endeavors in horticulture. As he shared his knowledge, Ross picked a piece of this and that to taste. “Yep, that’s dill,” and proceeded to give me a delicious-sounding recipe I would have never thought of with the herb. During my visit, a group of younger kids and parents were also visiting. Sagar and Ross helped the children as they climbed atop the mounds to pick greens, carrots and other vegetables, hands and faces covered in dirt, veggies in their mouths.

“My wish is for every home in Bend to grow their own food.” A dream? Not in the mind of Shiv Sagar, an optimist transforming 10 acres of the High Desert into a permaculture paradise. In the local news the words “Hunnel Road” often conjure ideas of homelessness and dilapidated RVs, but after the dead end, the notorious road picks up again a bit farther north and leads to the oasis known as Shakti Farm Design. Sagar began his journey in Bend leading meditations—a practice he still continues at the Hanai Center every Thursday. During COVID, the lockdowns gave most people lots of free time. Rather than catch up on Netflix shows, Shiv chose to create a sustainable farm in the High Desert, not the easiest task as those who have tried to grow in Central Oregon unfortunately know. When I arrived at the farm, Sagar spoke to our group as we anxiously awaited entry to a large 30-foot by 96-foot greenhouse. Meanwhile, calming Indian flute music played, because the plants love the vibration, he said. The wait did not disappoint. Lush green vegetation filled the inside. A path of wood chips led through Hügelkultur mounds in the shape of spirals. This purposeful geometry creates flows of energies to encourage growth. Below the mounds a mulch of cardboard, hay and logs from local arborists combine to create a black soil so rich that earthworms

Scenes from Shakti Farm Design: A path of wood chips and all the bounty.

Outside of the greenhouse the property is also thriving. Sagar showed us a section with blooming fruit trees, each with its own crystal buried nearby to channel positive energy. Another area with nut trees was recently planted. Chickens, duck and turkeys roamed their own areas. In two small ponds, both crystal clear, minnows and koi happily swam. Amazingly, most all of these projects have been created within the last few years, a true testament to what can be accomplished with a vision. Sagar wants everyone to experience and understand the importance of sustainable growth. “The way in which food transportation and monoculture has been going on for decades has led to carbon emissions, depleted soil and less-nutrient-rich food. These practices are unsustainable.” Many people would prefer to know the origin of their food, but greenhouses can be a significant investment of time

and money. This is where Sagar wants to fill the gap. Customers only need to follow a three-word slogan: seed, feed, harvest. All the backbreaking work, from the excavation to construction and even to the planting, is taken care of by experts. Once a client’s greenhouse is up and running, they can do as much or as little as they like. Detailed guides and continued support from the Shakti Farms crew help maintain the structure and teach about growing. After the tour I had planned to visit the grocery store, so luckily I had brought reusable bags. I left Sagar’s place with more than a few items from my list: fresh produce, herbs and some eggs. Most importantly, I confirmed my hope that growing in the High Desert is possible. For more information visit: https://shaktifarmdesign.com/

In Praise of the Fungal Phoenix

Through foraging or the farmers market, get some of the morels that are in abundance this year By Ari Levaux

orels have no psychoactive properties but are definitely magical. The caps have a brainly look that might make you feel like you’re hallucinating, but these whacky, whimsical mushrooms are for real, and can cause real-life magic to happen. This is especially true if you are hunting them, but preparing morels can be an adventure, too. Morels are widely considered the finest-tasting mushroom on the planet. Their meaty flavor and fleshy texture allow them to mix well with fat and wine and lend a soulful fungal aroma to soups. Morels grow, and are hunted, on every continent except Antarctica, and are named in most languages. They could spring up anywhere as long as the soil temperatures and moisture levels are right, but they prefer creek beds, disturbed ecosystems and the back yards of morel pickers. They appear in clusters, so that if you find one, don’t move until you’ve scanned the whole area. Most of the morels picked, including the ones for sale at fancy markets, are known as phoneicoid morels, named after the phoenix. For reasons barely understood, these morels proliferate in the burned mountain forests of the West. When you go after them, you quickly look and smell like a burned forest yourself. Finding morels is half art, half science and half persistence. It’s an ecological puzzle you solve by noting the elevation, slope angle, the direction it faces, and surrounding plant species, if any remain. Pinecones can look like morels and get your hopes up. That’s why they call it mushroom hunting, rather than picking. Last week when I went hunting I did not have my morel goggles on. In retrospect, the burn I chose was at too high an elevation, so the soil wasn’t warm enough. Back in town, I bought a nice basket of morels at the

Wild Things This hearty, earthy recipe is good served with meat, but that’s hardly necessary. Ultimately, it’s a showcase for morels. If you have to buy them and they’re really expensive, you can make up the difference with regular button mushrooms, or other wild mushrooms like oyster or porcini. For a sumptuous, saucy alternative, skip the wild rice and almonds, and add a cup of heavy cream to the sauteed mushrooms instead.

A dish the author lovingly calls “Wild Things.”

farmers market. Then I went to Diamond Jim’s Casino, which houses a small but well-appointed liquor store that carries the correct type of sherry for morel cooking. Morels need sherry as much as they need butter. But not so-called “cooking sherry,” which tastes more like salt water. We need drinking sherry for morel cookery, but not the good stuff. High-end sherry does not offer any advantage over a $7 bottle of Fairbanks. But alas, on that day, Diamond Jim’s was out of stock. As I stood crestfallen in Diamond Jim’s, a friend called my name. Being a great hunter of elk, morels and other wild things, I knew he would understand my plight. So I explained, to him and the room in general, why I needed that Fairbanks.

“I prefer vermouth,” offered the bartender. My head swiveled. “For morels?” I asked. She nodded. “Great!” Do you have any vermouth? “No.” Fortunately, dry vermouth is easier to hunt down than Fairbanks. I found a bottle across the street. And I’m happy to report that the bartender was correct. Here’s a recipe for a dish I first ate by a campfire one rainy June night, when I was camping with a bunch of pickers. There is a certain smell that’s only available around a fire, in the middle of a burned forest, in front of a pan of simmering morels simmer in deep butter. It’s the smell of the wild, and a whiff of the future in the middle of desolation. And a

Anybody foolish enough to ask a morel hunter where he found them, so they say, is foolish enough to believe the reply. They just wanted to know where I had found them. Reflexively, I spat out a false location, because they deserved to be lied to. Anybody foolish enough to ask a morel hunter where he found them, so they say, is foolish enough to believe the reply.

shy reminder that destruction can pave the way for new growth. It blends a decadent morel sauté with wild rice and the untamed flavor of sage. It’s the wild earthiness that you are hunting for when you eat wild mushrooms.

Serves 8 • 2 cups wild rice • 1/2 pound fresh morels (or morels cut with other mushrooms), sliced in half from tip to stem • 1 medium sized onion, chopped • 8 tablespoons butter • I cup cheap, dry sherry or dry vermouth (failing those, dry white wine) • 1 cup chicken stock • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon dried sage (or a tablespoon fresh) • 1 tablespoon soy sauce • Juice and zest of a quarter lemon • 1 cup slivered or sliced almonds • 1 large bunch of parsley • A handful of chives or ramps

Add the rice and six cups of water to a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Cook it on medium until the water is gone and the rice is soft and splitting open, about 50 minutes. If it’s still kind of hard and crunchy, add another cup of water and cook for another 15 minutes or so. Turn it off before it burns and let it sit with the lid on. While the rice cooks, melt the butter in a pan on medium-high heat. Add the onions and layer the morels on top. After about 5 minutes, as the onions start to cook down, give it a stir. After another 5 or so minutes, when the onions turn translucent and the pan starts to dry out— about 10 minutes—add half of the sherry (or vermouth), as well as the stock, nutmeg, black pepper, salt, sage, soy sauce, lemon juice and zest. Simmer for about 20 minutes on medium. Add the other half cup of vermouth, and simmer for 10 more minutes with the lid on. While it simmers, trim and chop the parsley and chives. When most of the liquid has evaporated from the pan, add the rice and stir it around. Add the almonds and give it another stir. Turn off the heat, stir in the parsley and chives and serve.

The flying sequences will (ahem) take your breath away, each and every performance is designed to generate empathy so you care about all the characters. The pacing is so fast and intense that by the end it genuinely felt like a rollercoaster ride had ended. There’s also no pro-military saber rattling. It’s just a full-blown Hollywood blockbuster designed to pin you to your seat and drop your jaw and, in IMAX, make you

feel like you’re in the cockpit of a Super Hornet. While Tom Cruise most certainly won’t die for your sins, he absolutely will for your entertainment. With “Top Gun: Maverick” he not only entertains but reminds us that he’s the biggest movie star on the planet for a reason. That reason might be that he’s an adrenaline junkie and that he’s a little insane, but if it brings people like the guy who made us all laugh to my screening, then I guess he’s my kind of crazy.

t finally happened, for the first time in years. It was perfect. It’s opening night of “Top Gun: Maverick,” the sequel to a 36-year-old movie that is mostly loved today for nostalgic or ironic reasons. The new “Top Gun” should be terrible, a jingoistic Tom Cruise vehicle that is only good for a few forgettable hours inside some air conditioning. The IMAX auditorium is almost completely sold out and it feels like a wall of humanity waiting for their favorite band to start playing. I’m fully expecting my eyes to roll back in my head so hard that I break my own neck. Then the lights dim, the trailers end and that synth-y goodness from Harold Faltermeyer’s original score kicks in. A lone gentleman and American hero, somewhere back in the darkness of the auditorium, yells in a perfect moment of silence: “I FEEL THE NEED…THE NEED FOR SPEED!” The entire theater erupts in laughter and, in that moment and for the entire run time of the film, we’re all together. We’ve forgotten about COVID, about gas prices, about baby formula. It’s just us and Tom Cruise, who learned how to fly a damn jet in order to entertain us. Look, I get it. People hate Tom Cruise. Half the people I talk to about him tell me they won’t even sit through one of his movies because they hate his face so much. Yeah, Scientology is definitely strange and kinda unnerving and Cruise sometimes acts like a Child of the Corn all grown up and famous. I don’t want to like him, and I mostly have to separate the art from the artist. I sometimes have to get past the uncanny valley of his face to enjoy one of his films. Here’s the thing though: the movie theater is an important place to me. It was my escape during a middle school period I hated and during a high school career that was even worse. The flickering lights of a movie in a dark room feel holy to me in a way that church never did or could (even after several years of Catholic school). And somehow, this sequel to a

The Bend Paddle Trail Alliance seeks conservation through recreation

ith the chorus from the Talking Heads’ “Take Me to the River” swirling through my brain, I push off from the riverbank and enter the current of the Deschutes River. Upstream of me is the Tetherow Logjam, an impressive pile-up of logs that requires a mandatory portage. But from the boat launch, where I’ve just entered the river downstream of the obstacle, I’m now paddling a flatwater stretch of the river in my inflatable kayak, thanks to the Bend Paddle Trail Alliance’s Deschutes Paddle Trail guide. This stretch, from the put-in to La Pine State Park, is an easy flatwater float through some scenic ponderosa forests. Above me, an osprey circles, scanning for fish and ready to plunge after prey. “Drop me in the water.” As I float past submerged logs and slip through the curves in the river, I catch sight of other birds: Western wood pewees and tree swallows hawking insects in mid-flight. Narrow paths from the river up the banks indicate the passage of mule deer and perhaps elk, which easily swim across the river during their seasonal migrations. The paddle trail is the work of the nonprofit organization Bend Paddle Trail Alliance which was an outgrowth of a club of recreational whitewater paddlers called Paddlers of Central Oregon, around 2006. “We realized the need for common language for safety messaging and understanding access to the river,” said Jayson Bowerman, vice-chair of BPTA. At that time, there was little signage along the Deschutes River related to safety or hazards. Unfortunately, occasionally people would put on the river at dangerous points such as Dillon Falls, not realizing the severity of the river ahead, resulting in tragedies. Part of BPTA’s mission is to “promote and establish a navigable paddle trail within Deschutes County,” which began with the mile-by-mile mapping project of the Upper Deschutes River. Working with their partners, the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, the effort highlighted access points, hazards, rapids and whitewater classifications for stretches of river that require more technical skills. “We created a flipbook for the river and one for the high lakes and now have digitized those maps so their available to download for free from Avenza Maps,” added Bowerman.

Running Mad for Craft Beer

Tandem kayakers enjoy floating through the Old Mill District.

The paddle trail covers about 95 miles of the Upper Deschutes to Cline Falls State Park and includes sections of flatwater or stretches of Class V whitewater that only highly experienced boaters should attempt. Nine of the high lakes in the Cascades and Newberry Caldera are also included in the trail. In addition to the maps, BPTA partnered with the Forest Service and other agencies to install 30 kiosks at put-ins at the lakes and access points on the river. “The design and content for the kiosks came from BPTA and then the installation came mainly from the Forest Service,” said Justin Rae, BPTA board president. “The information covers access, hazards, and has an educational component that is unique to that stretch of the river or lake, whether it’s something historical or about the ecology of the area.” BPTA also partnered with Bend Park and Recreation District and others to create the Whitewater Park downstream of the Colorado Street Bridge. Removal of the dam, which was created during the logging industry’s heyday, was a key aspect of the project. Today, the barrier-free passage provides recreational opportunities not only for

inner tube floaters or waveboarders and kayakers to enjoy the river, but also provides passage for fish, especially redband trout, to access spawning Damian Fa beds higher up on the river. gan And in the wake of the recent tragic drowning at the park, BPTA is involved with providing funding for grief counseling. One of the issues that BPTA is engaging with BPRD and the Forest Service on is erosion at access points, especially sections of the river close to town. “That’s high on our list of having conversations about how and where people access the river and design useful and functional access points to limit erosion,” added Rae. “Part of our mantra is that you can’t have conservation without recreation; people need to experience something in order to help protect it.” Figuring out where those limits lie and how to engage the numerous and diverse stakeholders involved with the management and allocation of the river is no small task, but one where the conversations continue. “Dip me in the water.” Bend Paddle Trail Alliance bendpaddletrailalliance.org

When discussing beer and running combined into a race, the first thought that comes up is the infamous beer mile challenge. This is where racers have to run a lap around the track, chug a beer and then go again until completing four laps and four beers as fast as possible. This challenge usually involves pain and regret that grows as the bubbles inside the gut get sloshed around. But not all beer races have to be this painful. The Bend Beer Chase is a one-day relay event put on by the same people who organize the Cascade Lakes Relay. It involves teams of one to six people who run a 55-mile course spanning from Bend to Redmond and back. Runners have to run 4 to 8 mile stretches that end at either breweries or beer filling stations. Runners are rewarded with a sampler at each hand-off point, although drinking is not required— rules that ensure gut comfort is at a premium during the race. Each team is required to have a designated driver who must remain sober. The race offers a chance to explore the beautiful backroads and trails between Bend and Redmond, while of course getting a unique tour of Central Oregon breweries. After the relay portion of the race, teams are invited to participate in the 3-mile Keg Leg. This beer-heavy stretch brings participants to eight different craft breweries before going back to the finish line where 20 beers are on tap. So, lace up the running shoes this weekend and explore Central Oregon craft beer... while only suffering just a little bit. Bend Beer Chase Sat. June 4, 7am Bend and Redmond $40 Per Person

Pesticides are Killing Us

Every day we learn about the dangers of using chemicals and causing insects to vanish from the Earth By Jim Anderson

using chemicals and causing insects to vanish from the Earth, and the tragic results on mankind. In my opinion, the only thing that matters to businesspeople who work with chemicals is how much money they can make. Just go and look on your computer and see how many businesses have created ways to buy stuff that kill insects and other animals that share this beautiful Earth with us. Well, on Tuesday, June 7, at 1 pm PST (4pm EST) the American Bird Conservancy is doing a Zoom program on pesticides and other chemicals that are killing approximately 72 million birds annually. Anyone using anything to kill 72 million birds a year has to be stopped!

the world. On June 17, 2013, the largest native bee kill ever recorded occurred in Wilsonville, Oregon. More than 50,000 bumblebees died when 55 blooming linden trees were sprayed with the pesticide known as Safari in a Target parking lot. Hundreds of wild bumblebee colonies were destroyed and thousands of contaminated bees were dying and gobbled up by birds. The worst thing about that particular incident is that it mirrored what has been going on for way too long: the indiscriminate use of pesticides without anyone monitoring the

Between neonics, and another deadly chemical, bromethalin, used in “Hawk Bait Chux,” stuff applied indiscriminately to kill rodents, a poison that keeps right on killing whatever ingests it— like owls, hawks and eagles—reminds us we’re living in the shadow of pretty nasty times. The fate of thousands of bumblebees killed by neonicotinoids made the headlines not too long ago, and yet that stuff is still on the market.

’m not an alarmist, but I am a naturalist who has been a guest in this world we call home for nigh into 94 years. When I was a kid on the farm in West Haven, Connecticut, my grandfather swore by a chemical named, “Black Leaf 40,” a so-called “safe” biodegradable agricultural insecticide used around the world since the 1800s. It’s 40% nicotine sulfate and classified as little hazard to birds, fish and beneficial insects. Hah! However, there was no information on what happened to a bird, fish or beneficial insect when they ate an insect that had died from Black Leaf 40. But there is today! Insecticides are responsible for the death of millions of insects, and birds ingest millions of insects, especially baby birds. Hummingbirds, for example, feed a protein paste to their babies made up of insects the adults harvest while slurping up nectar. One of the U.S. chemical companies, Dow Chemical, made a statement years back: “Better Living Through Chemistry.” But the insecticides that have followed Black Leaf 40 are something to be reckoned with, especially stuff with the derivative of nicotine in them, like the Neonicotinoids. Neonicotinoids (sometimes shortened to neonics) are a class of neuro-active insecticides chemically similar to nicotine—and nicotine is the guts and feathers of the old Black Leaf 40. In the 1980s, Shell, and in the 1990s, Bayer, started work on the development of neonics, and today they are the most widely used insecticides in the world— and the most dangerous insecticide in

The conflation of the dangers of other drugs with marijuana is hardly new By Jeremy Dickman

he history of cannabis is in many ways a history of the psychology of fear. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 weaponized white people’s fear of immigrants from the southern border and Black men to outlaw cannabis. This came on the heels of the notorious 1936 “documentary” film “Reefer Madness,” which gained infamy for its fictional portrayal of violent, highly sexualized cannabis addicts perpetrating horrific crimes. The Controlled Substances Act of 1970, as Richard Nixon advisor John Ehrlichman famously admitted, was in no small part motivated by the desire to “disrupt” Black communities and the anti-war movement by criminalizing weed (the drug of choice among “hippies”) and heroin addiction, which was ravaging Black communities at the time. Disenfranchising Black people through criminalization of addiction continues to suppress the Black vote today, as most states still restrict voting rights for those with felony convictions. Fast-forward to the 21st century, and it would seem that fear is losing out, finally, to common sense. Marijuana is legal in some form or another in a majority of U.S. states. With every cultural shift toward common-sense drug laws. However, there is usually a swift and severe backlash from industries that profit from fear. Nationwide, law enforcement in numerous communities has pushed the idea that fentanyl—a strong, deadly opiate responsible for thousands of overdoses and deaths annually—is being mixed with cannabis and then sold to unsuspecting users. In April, Marysville, Kansas, police posted to Facebook (where else?) to warn of fentanyl present in samples from a marijuana bust. Police in Pocatello, Idaho on April 14 reported that a “trend” is developing with fentanyl in marijuana, allegedly causing overdoses, but no deaths. In the latter instance, Pocatello Police detectives told the “Idaho State Journal” that the marijuana they seized tested “presumptive positive” for fentanyl. At no point in the story does the author explain the modifier “presumptive,” and whether that is a law enforcement term of art. In Mississippi, where tougher laws are being enacted to combat opioid overdoses, Col. Steven Maxwell of the state’s Bureau of Narcotics trumpeted his agency’s effort to educate high school students about the dangers of fentanyl. He could not resist lumping marijuana in the lecture. “When we talk to high school students about this we are trying to impress upon them it’s no longer just

marijuana but could be marijuana laced with fentanyl or some other synthetic drug,” Maxwell told Jackson’s “Clarion Ledger” in April. The story provided zero examples of police seizing marijuana laced with fentanyl. This conflation of the dangers of opioids, methamphetamine and other drugs with marijuana is hardly new. Marijuana is a Schedule I drug, classified by the Drug Enforcement Administration for the past 50 years as having no medical benefit, and a high potential for abuse, on par with heroin and meth. This is despite all available scientific evidence contradicting such a claim. Even if marijuana has a potential for being combined with other, more dangerous substances, a regulated cannabis market would seem to be the answer to consumers’ concerns. Cannabis flower, vaporizers and edibles are tested for foreign substances in a regulated market. In the unlikely event that a deadly substance is sold with a cannabis product, there is a regulated industry that is held to account. Not so in wild-west, unregulated markets like Kansas, Idaho or other prohibition states. When I asked the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office if opioids have found their way into marijuana samples, they could report zero such instances. The Bend Police Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the same question. In Jackson County, fentanyl itself has been a major concern, according to Public Information Officer Aaron Lewis, of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. Whether it is being combined with cannabis is another story. “I haven’t seen marijuana laced with fentanyl,” Lewis said. “I would imagine that would hit my radar if it happened in the last year or so.” Lewis cited a fentanyl-laced Xanax death, and a problem with counterfeit opioid pills. When it comes to fentanyl, a degree of fear is justified. According to the DEA, fentanyl is 80 to 100 times more deadly than morphine, and overdose deaths have skyrocketed over the past several years. Anyone seeking drugs from an unregulated source should worry that what they are getting could be mis-advertised. Conflating cannabis dangers with fentanyl dangers, however, is weaponizing fear for an agenda. Not only is there scant evidence of fentanyl-laced marijuana on the streets, there are studies revealing the usefulness of treating opioid addiction with cannabis. If fentanyl is a problem in the cannabis trade in any state, then a regulated cannabis market is the undeniable solution.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s an excellent

time to correct and uplift your self-image. I invite you to speak the following affirmations aloud: “I am not damaged. I am not on the wrong path. I am not inept or ignorant or off-kilter. The truth is, I am learning how to live. I am learning how to be a soulful human and I am doing a reasonably good job at that task. I do a lot of things really well. I’m getting to know myself better every day. I constantly surprise myself with how skilled I am at adjusting to life’s constant changes. I AM AMAZED AT HOW MUCH PROGRESS I HAVE MADE IN LEARNING HOW TO LIVE.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the Tibetan language, the term nyingdu-la means “most honored poison of my heart.” Many of us know at least one person who fits that description: an enemy we love to hate or a loved one who keeps tweaking our destiny or a paradoxical ally who is both hurtful and helpful. According to my analysis, it’s time for you to transform your relationship with a certain nyingdu-la in your life. The bond between you might have generated vital lessons for you. But now it’s time for a re-evaluation and redefinition.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Don’t pray for the rain to stop,” advises Leo poet Wendell Berry. “Pray for good luck fishing when the river floods.” That’s useful advice for you, my dear. The situation you’re in could turn out to be a case of either weird luck or good luck. And how you interpret the situation may have a big impact on which kind of luck it brings. I urge you to define the potential opportunities that are brewing and concentrate on feeding them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo writer Julio

Cortázar (1914–1984) once remarked, “How tiring it gets being the same person all the time.” That’s surprising. In fact, Cortázar was an innovative and influential author who wrote over 30 books in four genres and lived for extended periods in five countries. It’s hard to imagine him ever being bored by his multifaceted self. Even if you’re not a superstar like Cortázar, Virgo, I expect you will be highly entertained and amused by your life in the coming weeks. I bet you will be even more interesting than usual. Best of all, you will learn many fresh secrets about your mysterious soul.

bestfriend says, “One of the biggest problems with society nowadays is that I am so, so sleepy.” Frogbestfriend is humorously suggesting that his inability to maintain good sleep habits is rooted in civilization’s dysfunctions. He’s right, of course! Many of our seemingly personal problems are at least partially rooted in the pathological ways the whole world operates. Our culture influences us to do things that aren’t always healthy and wise. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because now is a favorable time to meditate on society’s crazy-making effects on you. Now is also a pivotal moment to heal yourself of those crazy-making effects.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Maggie Smith writes, “We talk so much of light. Please let me speak on behalf of the good dark. Let us talk more of how dark the beginning of a day is.” I offer her proposal as a fertile theme for your meditations. Of all the signs in the zodiac, you Scorpios are most skilled at teasing out the good stuff from shadows and secrets and twilight.

When the conflict is over, he yearns to return to the beloved life he left behind. But his journey takes 10 years. His tests and travails are many. The 20th-century Greek poet C. P. Cavafy offered advice to Odysseus at the beginning of his quest: “As you set out for Ithaka, hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery . . . Keep Ithaca always in your mind. Arriving there is what you’re destined for. But don’t hurry the journey. Better if it lasts for years, so you’re old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way.” As you begin your new phase of returning home, Capricorn, I invite you to keep Cavafy’s thoughts in mind. (Read the poem: tinyurl.com/HomeToIthaka. Translated by Edmund Keeley.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I have never, ever, EVER met anyone who has regretted following their heart,” writes life coach Marie Forleo. But what exactly does she mean by “following their heart”? Does that mean ignoring cautions offered by your mind? Not necessarily. Does it require you to ignore everyone’s opinions about what you should do? Possibly. When you follow your heart, must you sacrifice money and status and security? In some cases, yes. But in other cases, following your heart may ultimately enhance your relationship with money and status and security. Anyway, Aquarius. I hope I’ve inspired you to meditate on what it means to follow your heart— and how you can do that intensely during the coming months. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Actor and author Jenny Slate testifies, “As the image of myself becomes sharper in my brain and more precious, I feel less afraid that someone else will erase me by denying me love.” That is the single best inspirational message I can offer you right now. In the coming months, you will earn the right and the capacity to make the same declaration. Your self-definition will become progressively clearer and stronger. And this waxing superpower will enable you to conquer at least some of your fear about not getting enough love. ARIES (March 21-April 19): “It takes a spasm of love to write a poem,” wrote Aries author Erica Jong. I will add that it takes a spasm of love to fix a problem with someone you care about. It also takes a spasm of love to act with kindness when you don’t feel kind. A spasm of love is helpful when you need to act with integrity in a confusing situation and when you want to heal the past so it doesn’t plague the future. All the above advice should be useful for you in the coming weeks, Aries. Are there any other variations you can think of? Fill in the blank in the next sentence: It takes a spasm of love to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The great epochs of our life come when we gain the courage to rechristen our badness as what is best in us,” wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. When I read that ambitious epigram, I didn’t know what he was referring to. By “badness,” did he mean the ugly, pathological parts of us? That couldn’t be right. So I read scholars who had studied the great philosopher. Their interpretation: Nietzsche believed the urges that some religions seek to inhibit are actually healthy for us. We should celebrate, not suppress, our inclinations to enjoy sensual delights and lusty living. In fact, we should define them as being the best in us. I encourage you Bulls to do just that in the coming weeks. It’s a favorable time to intensify your devotion to joy, pleasure, and revelry.

never read “Harry Potter.” It just wasn’t on my radar back in 2001 when I was 55 years old and in the vortex of my professional career. Also, I was in a book club with 10 other cool dudes— and we were reading much more “sophisticated” material. Harry Potter? Harry who? So, Harry faded far into the background of my already full life. Life mysteriously unfolds and morphs over time. Maybe, even magically. Sometime later today I will be starting the fourth “Harry Potter” book, “The Goblet of Fire.” How did that happen? Was it a magic wand or an old witch’s potion? Nope! It was our eight-year-old granddaughter, Livi. One day, she was reading “Harry Potter, Book III,” which I have come to realize is a powerful story about good versus evil…and ultimately courage and love. She was totally engrossed. She looked up and lovingly asked the magical question, “Have you read ‘Harry Potter,’ Baba?” She was obviously expecting a “Yes, of course I have.” But when I answered, “No, I haven’t,” everything changed. The room stood still. Livi looked at me with the most disbelieving expression. Did Baba really say no? All eyes were on Baba. The very next words I heard were, “Baba, you have to read ‘Harry Potter!’” It was a magical incantation that landed simultaneously in my heart and soul. A direct hit. I don’t remember my exact reply but it was something like, “Sure, Livi, that’s a good idea! Would you loan me your books?” “Of course, I will,” she said immediately. My life has changed ever since that moment. Not only have I gotten to know Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, Professor Dumbledore and so many more, but Livi and I are closer than ever. Could anyone in the entire world, other than my Livi, have gotten me to read “Harry Potter?” ANYONE? Not even close. Livi-Luv cast a spell on me that changed our lives forever. Nearly every time we see each other, which is most days of every week, there is something spoken about Harry and his adventures. More importantly, soooo much more importantly, both of our hearts tingle in ways they never would have…and always will. “Baba, you have to read ‘Harry Potter!’” Life-changing magic. Now, let’s talk about you and

influence, even change our world. That is a huge responsibility. It may also be one of our greatest sources of joy.

me—and how we can change the world with our own incredible powers. I will give you two incantations, which, by the way, you already know. Each of these require us to bring our inner Livi and Harry into the moment. Without them, our words are only words. Imposters, pretending to be the real thing. Magical Incantation Number One: I am sorry. That’s right, these are some of the first words we’re taught—soon after Mommy, Daddy, please and thank you. We live in a world that requires our sensitivity and caring in order for joy to be felt and shared. In this world, we humans are simply that, humans. We inevitably say or do things that hurt another, and may even do damage. Sometimes our misguided words or behaviors may initiate a lifetime of damage. Humans are powerful entities, both for the good and the not-good. The magic that emanates from I am sorry is NOT the words. That is our cultural error. Simply saying the words changes nothing! In fact, they can even add insult to injury. The word sorry comes from the word sorrow. Sorrow is a deep hurt, it is not a word. Where do we feel our deep, true sorrow? Where don’t we feel our deep, true sorrow? We feel it in every cell in our sensitive bodies. When we feel it and express it, a magical healing potion is released, initially for the perpetrator. Sorrow makes us human. We care. We own who we are. Our sorrow directs us to change our hurtful behavior to the very best of our ability. Magical incantation Number Two is: I forgive you. Forgiveness is rarely easy. Our hurts and anger can last…and last. It is our job to release them, so we can set ourselves free. Take a breath, please. Into your belly, slowly. When we are angry and hurt, we aren’t breathing fully. Many of us rarely do. Our limited breath impedes our ability to fully forgive. Breathe into your belly gently, through your nose. Then move the breath into your sternum area and lastly, into your chest. Exhale slowly. Repeat…for the rest of your life. In fear mode, which is where we store our hurts and resentments, our lower animal brain is activated. In order to access our higher selves, the part of us that can let go of our hurts and forgive, we need oxygen. Breathe again. It’s magic. And the very word spirit, that beautiful part of every one of us, derives from the word breath. More magic. When we fully apologize and fully forgive, healing occurs that impacts untold numbers of people! Thank you, Harry and Livi. Please, use your magical powers.

Time in the Market Beats Timing the Market

Weighing options in today’s market upward, meaning the fundamentals matter more than the timing. It is totally normal to feel nervous about buying your first home, but soon the nervousness gives way to the excitement of owning a home! For those who already own a home and would like or need to sell and buy something else, there are some slightly different factors to consider. Many who have been in their homes over a few years have found themselves with substantial pieces of equity that they can capture with the sale of their home. This equity can be used for a substantial down payment on a new home and can help offset the higher rates on fixed mortgages. The equity can also be used to buy down rates or pay for points on the loan to decrease the interest rate and potentially save money long term. This makes sense for some who plan on being in the home for a while and is a simple math problem you can work through with a local lender. Another thing to consider is various variable rate loan products. While not for everyone, in certain circumstances these can be an excellent option, but one must know the associated risks, as well. The key point here is that there is no one-size-fits-all plan. Since I cannot predict the future with any kind of accuracy I just try to work through the known facts and weigh my options. The best piece of advice I can give is to work with some professionals who can help you make the best decision for you. Not only do I talk to a lender and real estate agent, but I would also talk to a tax professional or financial adviser to weigh all your options if you are selling and/or buying a home.

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 22 / JUNE 2, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

orking with folks looking to purchase a home in Bend has been tough for a few years now. Between COVID, low inventory and fierce competition, it seems like buyers have been unable to catch a break. Now things have sort of pivoted. I use that word because while things have changed a bit, by and large the market is still hot. Despite rising interest rates, prices are high and appear to be steadying and more and more inventory keeps popping up. The common question we are getting from potential buyers is, “Is now a good time to buy?” By and large, our answer is, “It depends.” There is just a lot to consider right now, and everyone has a unique set of circumstances. Having said that, speaking from my own point of view I would consider the following few things. For first time homebuyers the question really is affordability. With the rising interest rates, the amount you will be approved for has likely changed in some regard over the last few months. Gone are rock-bottom interest rates, but that doesn’t mean buying a house now is a bad investment. Assuming you are looking at a fixed-rate loan, it does mean your mortgage payment will be higher and that you will pay more interest over the life of the loan. Just a quick reminder: It is OK to buy a home and not have the best interest rate of all time; most people quickly forget their rate after closing anyway. The thing to consider is how you feel about the actual payment itself. A common quote we hear in Real Estate is “Time in the market beats timing the market”—meaning that we know the market fluctuates and goes up and down, but we have seen that over decades that it trends
