Scratching the surface of police activity, policies and responses to local protests reveals that under the tranquil veneer of picturesque Central Oregon, a complicated, and sometimes dark underbelly remains. This week’s editorial is a distillation of a number of personal accounts, public reports and future plans that involve local law enforcement. Bottom line: Society has been absolutely correct in placing more scrutiny on this sector of the people’s government, and our job is to report back the facts as we find them. So many readers have come forward in recent weeks, offering us tips, demanding we do more around certain issues, and once in a while, even telling us they appreciate our coverage. Hearing from you, readers, helps us point our compass— all while we continue to adhere to journalistic principles of telling the truth, or the closest approximation of the truth that we can achieve. We aim to tell the truth, no matter what the truth reveals. Thank you for taking the time to read the product of that commitment.

he recent protests against police brutality in the U.S. have brought tens of thousands to the streets across the country–but they’ve also brought out a lot of enlightening information about how cops do their jobs, what they can do better and how they respond to groups of armed counter-protesters versus unarmed protesters. A lot of scrutiny is being put on law enforcement, and what’s been revealed from all that scrutiny is not comforting. While we gave kudos to the Bend and Redmond Police departments for proactively condemning the death of George Floyd, when activists asked the Prineville police to do the same, they declined, according to activists. (Prineville PD’s chief and captain did not respond to our request for more information on that and other reports stemming from ongoing protests in Prineville.) The Bend Police department’s own 2019 Force Response Report shows that officers used force on Black men at a rate of 2.6%, and Black women at a rate of 1.3% in 2019, in a city with an overall Black population of .6%, according to 2019 U.S. Census information—meaning that force was used on Black men at a rate of more than four times higher than the overall Black population, and over two times higher on Black women than the overall Black population. While arrests in any city inevitably include those who don’t live in that city, a use-of-force rate of more than four times the local population is cause for concern. Some departments have cited a low Black population as reason not to do even more to train officers in racial bias, or to speak out against the disproportionate targeting of Black men. This is every department’s problem, not just the ones in the big cities. While every police and sheriff’s department can and should be examining itself internally to do more, Bendites have a particularly advantageous opportunity this very week to effect change in the police force, from the top down. Police Chief Jim Porter, appointed as chief by City Manager Eric King in 2014, announced his retirement in January.

The City of Bend narrowed its applicant pool to 10 people in May, and to five last week—bringing us to this moment, when there is so much scrutiny on policing, to some opportunities for the public to weigh in. At this point in the selection process, all candidates are white males. Nowhere in the City of Bend’s five-page Chief of Police job description is diversity and racial equity mentioned in any context, though “a culture of collaboration, teamwork, and inclusivity” is mentioned once in describing the ideal candidate. The candidate profile was created following a series of listening sessions in February, according to the City of Bend. In addition to a number of law enforcement-related hiring sites, the job was advertised on the Partners in Diversity site. On Thursday, City Manager King is hosting a virtual community stakeholder town hall, an “opportunity for candidates to introduce themselves to community stakeholders and participate in a moderated question-and-answer forum,” according to an email from the City. Members of the Central Oregon Black Leaders Assembly, Allyship in Action, the Latino Community Association, Mecca Bend and other groups were invited to attend and ask questions. According to the City, it will “post a captioned video recording of the virtual community stakeholder town hall on Friday, June 19, at www.bendoregon. gov/police-chief. That webpage will also host a candidate feedback survey. Community members are invited to view the town hall video and complete the feedback survey.” It’s also available in Spanish at www.bendoregon.gov/policia. Feedback is due by 5 pm on June 22. Due to public pressure in the way of recent protests, we now know much more about how policing works both nationally and locally—and it’s clear there’s much work to be done. This is Bend’s chance to ask meaningful questions, and ideally, to press the next chief to understand the intense road ahead to allow all community members to feel safe, protected, and free from disproportionate violence at the hands of police.

GUEST OPINION Over the past week, armed militia have been patrolling the streets of downtown Bend to “protect” property from people they deem as destructive, such as looters, out-of-towners, ANTIFA, and the like. There is no evidence to verify the presence of vandalism or looting. This is a form of tactical misinformation used by white supremacist groups and their political counterparts, which represents a trend happening in various parts of the nation. These actions often incite and result in violence. Specifically, these armed men have been seen consistently downtown, outside places like Sidelines Sports Bar & Grill, Pizza Mondo, and a downtown furniture store. Intimidation of this kind is also present at local protests-- armed white men standing guard, others tactically blowing toxic fumes onto peaceful protestors while insinuating an intent to run them over with their vehicles, and still others aggressively confronting community members hoping to incite violence. We need our public officials and leaders to take action. We demand that elected city officials make public condemnations of false reports of looting, vandalism, and other insinuations of violence. We demand that elected city officials make public statements that armed militias will not be tolerated in Bend. We demand the police make a public statement denouncing these actions, stating clearly that the police are not aligned with armed vigilantes. The goal of these “Antifa Fantasies,” as they are called, is to mobilize rightwing activists to justify violence against people of color and community members at anti-racist events. They place themselves in a win-win situation by “keeping out the riff-raff” if no one appears, and shooting someone if their actions prompt angry, physical altercations. They claim to be working for public safety, but for who? Public safety refers to white safety and our concern here today is the safety of Black and Brown people in Bend. Where does the misinformation that incites the presence of armed militants come from? Fear-mongering and misinformation has largely been spread through online outlets, social media, and word-of-mouth. It is important to note that the Deschutes Republicans have also played an active role in spreading misinformation. Please see the photographic evidence at the following link twitter.com/DeschutesDems/status/1268241345350520832 Coded language reveals the messaging behind such statements:

@sourceweekly

Letters must be received by noon Friday for inclusion in the following week’s paper. Please limit letters to 250 words. Submission does not guarantee publication. Opinions printed here do not constitute an editorial endorsement of said opinions. Letter of the week receives $5 to Palate!

“... protestors have arrived from outof-town” refers to ANTIFA, to looters, and to an ambiguous but dangerous threat to Bend, leaving room for interpretation and shifting narratives. “Please stay alert” registers as a call to action, and one that reinforces a perceived need for weapons and armed force in a situation that does not require it. The mention of the police and sheriffs tries to shift culpability. Bend needs reform and change towards anti-racism, but such change is made through dialogue and policy-related action. Recognizing and publicly denouncing statements like this is vital to protecting Bend, protecting protesters, and especially protecting our Black and Brown neighbors. As we start to reopen our city, these armed militias are doing their best to ensure that people of color do NOT feel welcome in their own town. People of color will not feel comfortable eating at a restaurant or visiting a bar downtown when they know there are men with guns standing outside waiting for something to happen. White Supremacy is alive and well in this country and in Central Oregon. Scare tactics, like those employed by the said armed militias are a means of silencing protestors and Black and Brown leaders. Directly addressing such scare tactics for what they are diminishes their power. We will not be silenced. Respectfully, — The Board members of Embrace Bend Embracebend.com

HANDS UP ACT

The violent oppression and institutionalized racial injustice that takes place within our police forces needs to be addressed promptly and effectively. The American people are suffering and afraid. We have exhausted all options and desperately need those within positions of power to stand with us. Regulations, policies, and laws need to be implemented in order to combat the very prevalent issue of police brutality. Enforcing thorough investigations regarding violent police encounters so that officers who have indisputably murdered innocent people would be indicted, could be a place to start. The proposed “Hands Up Act” would effectuate investigation of officers involved in the shooting of those proven to have been unarmed and non-threatening. It would require police officers’ body and dashboard cameras to be on at all times by prohibiting said offices to have access to the camera’s functions, preventing potential tampering of evidence. They should not be able to turn them on and off. It would allocate more of the police budget to fund subsidiary action groups

whose constituents would be trained in specific professions focused on reparation and rehabilitation. It would appoint a mental health specialist that could offer the necessary support and assistance, with the necessary training to do so, to an individual experiencing a psychotic episode. A trauma social worker could aid a victim of domestic violence, and provide them with the necessary care and support they need. Assess community needs and invest in community-based resources. That is the job of our elected officials, and they need to do it. —Lauren Lehe

REMEMBERING: WHY D DAY?

Here it is the anniversary of D Day, June 6, 1944, and I wonder, have Americans forgotten so soon why what Tom Brokaw calls “Our Greatest Generation” fought and won World War 2. Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and their Axis were trying to “Dominate” the world with The Corporative State, which Benito Mussolini defined as Fascism. It took a long time for them to wake up, but when they did, Our Greatest Generation mobilized the Nation, stopped building cars or anything else and built warplanes, tanks, liberty ships, landing craft, everything to wage war in the Great Fight against Fascism. America’s Greatest Generation were Anti-Fascists! Are President Trump and AG Wm. Barr really going to label our Anti-Fascist “Greatest Generation” as a “Far Left Terrorist” group? Please, no! My father and my uncles fought in WW2 to defeat Fascism, and my grandparents, my mom and her sisters supported them in their fight. They are my heroes and I thank and stand with them.

There was a time in our USA when “Our Greatest Generation” was considered the center, the good and decent people who fought and defeated Fascism in WWII, and now I am so saddened that the Trump administration slanders them as a “Far Left Terrorist Group.” “Our Greatest Generation” were the ultimate Anti-Fascists, they saved the World in World War Two, they earned that honorable label “Greatest” the hard way. Imagine how horrible our world would be without our WWII “Greatest Generation” of Anti-Fascists, imagine if The Hitler and Mussolini Corporative State had won WWII and we were now ruled by the wealthy and their Corporations. Just one of the proud sons and daughters of Our Greatest Generation; —Tom D Ford

Letter of the Week:

Tom: While I would have to argue that the wealthy and corporations do indeed have far too much influence in the government of the people these days, I had the very same thought about my own grandfathers, the original anti-fascists who fought in WWII. Come on in for your gift card to Palate! —Nicole Vulcan

The state just issued a long list of guidelines for Oregon schools. 2020-2021 may be the weirdest school year in Bend since the Spanish Flu. By Laurel Brauns

T

his fall, local students may go back to their brick-and-mortar schools, but COVID prevention protocols will begin the minute they step on the school bus. Some students may not come to campus at all. To start, teachers will wear masks, students will stay 6 feet apart and no more sharing crayons or geometry tools. Some kids might stay with one group of students throughout the day in the same area of the school building. Others may come in on alternating days with their cohort. The Oregon Department of Education—in partnership with Gov. Kate Brown and the Oregon Health Authority—released a 47-page book of guidelines for the 2020-2021 school year last week, helping schools create their own “blueprint” for reopening. The plans will need to be passed by the Bend-La Pine Schools board, then reviewed by Deschutes County Health Services and finally sent to ODE. All schools must present a plan that will facilitate physical distancing classrooms, as well as consistent sanitization of high-touch surfaces and enforcement of handwashing practices. When planning class sizes, each person—including teachers and aids—must have 35 square feet of space. Students will no longer pass through school hallways en masse between classes; instead, teachers will move. Lora Nordquist, BLPS interim superintendent, said the biggest challenge will be the physical distancing and space requirement.

Highland Magnet at Kenwood School on Newport Ave welcomes nearly 400 elementary school students every year who learn through the Scottish Storyline method. Students create the setting and play characters in many different stories in order to gain an interdisciplinary understanding of a variety of subjects.

conflicts (like budding athletes), but it also helped those who got behind in classes or needed advanced classes that weren’t offered at the right time. During the 2018-2019 school year, the program served more than 4,000 students, with 700 who received the bulk of their instruction online only.

"We are very interested in getting all students who want to be in schools back in,” she said. “For families that have a medical reason or feelings of concern during the age of COVID before a vaccine, we are really fortune to have an online program." —Lora Nordquist, Bend-La Pine Schools interim superintendent “We are very interested in getting all students who want to be in schools back in,” she said. “For families that have a medical reason or feelings of discomfort about returning in the age of COVID before a vaccine, we are really fortunate to have an online program.” Going online BLPS has offered an online program for K-12 students since 2006, originally created for students with scheduling

What happened this spring was not a matter of simply moving whole schools onto this online program. Teachers retained their pre-COVID responsibilities and met with students in virtual classrooms. They created video lessons and delivered assignments through a sometimes confusing array of online platforms. “We learned a lot of lessons this spring,” Nordquist said. “We have decided to be on one consistent

platform; Google Classroom for elementary and Canvas for six through 12. If we have to close for several days at some point, the plan is that teachers, parents and students will already know how to make it work.” Canvas is the leading online platform for colleges in the U.S., surpassing Blackboard in 2018, according to Inside Higher Ed, a digital media company for higher education. Scheduling for physical distance This fall, schools in Oregon can choose from three models: in-person classes, all online or a hybrid of both. The state’s guidelines promote synchronistic teaching models whenever possible. This means in a hybrid classroom, half the students could be in class, while the other half watch the classroom activities from home and then the groups switch the next day. But everyone is learning the same material at the same time. But the opportunities for asynchronistic learning—or participating in class activities at different times than other students—may be one of the bright sides of adjusting to life during the pandemic, Nordquist said. “This spring many teachers made videos of individual lessons,” she said. “Now a student who might be too shy to ask a question in class, they can access

that video [and learn at their own pace]. Also, teachers might provide a variety of assignment options online to increase engagement. This is something that could be great all the time.” Playing by the rules The state requires rigorous sanitation protocols: everything from desks to library books must get wiped down. But students don’t have to wear masks: The guidelines state in bold that students without masks “must be provided access to instruction.” No mask shaming in Oregon schools. All staff who come into contact with students will have to wear masks, including bus drivers and the people who work in the kitchen. In some cases, office staff might set up plastic barriers at their desks or just wear large, clear face shields throughout the day. Everyone entering the school building will be screened for the typical COVID-19 symptoms and those who do show any signs of illness will be isolated and then sent home. In order to come back to school, anyone sent home will have to get tested for COVID-19 or wait three days after their fever breaks, regardless even if they test negative. If anyone does test positive, they’ll have to wait a minimum of 10 days before returning or after testing negative twice.


NEWS which could make education impossible to deliver at a local level, especially in the face of budget cuts. She expressed frustration with the requirement that every person needs 35 feet of space: This could pose an obvious impediment in older schools or in classes with traditionally larger student counts. Nordquist also took some issue with the 35-square-feet requirement, noting that given the current science around distancing, it seems somewhat arbitrary. Particularly in BLPS, even an extra 5 square feet per person of space could make or break some plans to provide in-classroom instruction to all students, five days a week, she said. “We know we play an important childcare function, for both parents in the community and also our own staff; we have quite a few teachers with young children,” Nordquist said. “Part of our thinking is to try to at least get [full-time, in-person instruction] for students through sixth grade.” Oregon is one of only three states that has a minimum legal age to leave kids home alone, and that may be the only option for some parents this fall. Oregon’s requirement is 10 years old, while Illinois is 14 and Maryland is 8, according to the federal government’s child welfare department.

Rumblings of Local Dissent Not everyone is thrilled about the state’s guidance and mandates. Rep. Cheri Helt (R-Bend) released a statement on June 10 asserting that Oregonians have the right to an education, along with a call to make sure the new rules from the state are not “excessive and unrealistic.” “Failure to open is unacceptable and unfair to all our kids and families. We cannot sacrifice two years of learning to fear and a lack of creativity. Local districts should be allowed to design safe classroom learning experiences,” Helt said. Helt told the Source her primary concern is that the regulations from the state are a one-size-fits-all solution

The ODE included a number of recommendations for schools to promote culturally responsive and anti-racist teaching, and to address “student belonging, student engagement, supportive relationships, wellbeing, and addressing racism, xenophobia, sexual harassment, and other forms of bullying and harassment.” The plan noted that discrimination against Asians and Asian Americans has increased since the pandemic began. Schools must also check with their local tribal agencies before sending in their plan.

Lora Nordquist is the Bend-La Pine Schools interim superintendent for the 2020-2021 school year. The BLPS board voted to promote her to the position for one year and put the search to find a new superintendent on hold during the pandemic.

Deschutes County Sheriffs Investigating Knee-On-Neck Incident

Sheriff launches investigation after image surfaces on social media of deputies using force on woman near Bend

T

he Deschutes County Sheriff's office announced Monday that it is investigating an incident that may have involved sheriff's deputies placing a knee "on or near a woman's neck" as they were arresting her. The incident looks like it happened last year, DCSO stated.

According to DCSO, an image is "circulating on social media that appeared to show two of our deputies holding down a female subject, while one of them had a knee on or near her neck." The photo appears to be a screen shot of cell phone video taken on June 11, 2019. A news release from DCSO today said the deputies were at a home in

Deputies returned to the residence to arrest her for Improper Use of 911 when this incident of force occurred," the release read.

returned to their father. The department is not releasing the names of the woman arrested, as "the case is currently being prosecuted by the Deschutes County DA's office," Bailey wrote in an email. The deputies' names are also being withheld pending an internal investigation, Bailey told the Source. Seeing what appears to be an officer put a knee on the neck of a person being arrested is a pain point in a country currently rocked by protests against the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, who died May 25 after a police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. "Sheriff Nelson has ordered a complete review of this image and the force depicted in it. The sheriff ’s office takes these matters very seriously and he promises a complete review of the force utilized by the two deputies. We are working to obtain a copy of the video from the subject that posted the image to social media," the DCSO release said.

Zero COVID-positive cases found in OSU Study

Researchers conclude one in 1,000 people in Bend had an active case of COVID-19 during study By Laurel Brauns

L

ast month, a group of field teams working with Oregon State University fanned out across Bend to test households for COVID-19. They tested 615 people in Bend, and no one tested positive. The Team-based Rapid Assessment of Community-Level Coronavirus Epidemics, or TRACE study, is led by a group of researchers at OSU that wants to determine the prevalence of COVID-19 in certain communities. It began in Corvallis in April, and then moved on to Bend at the end of May. The researchers will go to Newport next weekend where 120 workers at Pacific Seafood (processing plants) have tested positive. Even though Bend’s test results from the randomized study were zero, researchers concluded that one out of 1,000 people in Bend have contagious cases of COVID-19 based on modeling and prior cases reported by the Oregon Health Authority. This adds up to an estimated 100 cases within Bend’s population of 100,421. As of June 16, Deschutes County Health Services reported 137 positive cases since testing began three months ago, and 122 of these people have recovered.

Oregon State University

“This level of prevalence is consistent with Bend residents being careful about social distancing, wearing masks and staying home prior to Phase One reopening in Deschutes County,” said project leader Ben Dalziel, an assistant professor at OSU’s College of Science. “One in 1,000 is low, but the virus is still in the population and we know it is readily transmitted.” Another project co-leader, Jeff Bethel, an associate professor at OSU’s College of Public Health and Human Sciences, said that even when the general population has a low prevalence, clusters may emerge quickly in highrisk environments, such as the food processing facilities in Newport and others around the U.S. The OSU researchers corroborated with another prevalence study in Bend conducted by Biobot Analytics that has been testing waste water samples in certain Bend neighborhoods for COVID-19. Researchers from that study estimated hundreds of cases in Bend during a few non-consecutive weeks in April, but found no traces since April 28. The field teams didn’t perform antibody tests, which may have

demonstrated how many people in the county had coronavirus in the past. St. Charles Health System reported on April 26 that the FDA has only approved a few antibody tests and that many tests sold online or on the

underground market are fraudulent. Further, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention along with the World Health Organization said that a positive antibody test does not definitively equal immunity.

But are we planting the seeds for a festival-filled fall? We checked in with event organizers to find out.

Sisters Folk Fest Moves Toward a Small August Event By Nicole Vulcan

L

ike so many things in the age of COVID-19, the plans the Sisters Folk Festival team is making are only tentative and preliminary; not set in stone until they are. Last month, SFF announced the cancellation of its main event: the mid-September folk fest that takes over the town of Sisters. Still, SFF is making plans to offer some smaller musical events before that date, and during the regular festival weekend. “At this point, we are cautiously optimistic that we can plan a day of music on the lawn of our building on August 1,” Christa Munro, executive director of SFF, told the Source. On that date, SFF has tentative plans to hold an event where people can buy a ticket for a “circle,” that includes about six to eight people. (According to guidance from the Oregon Health Authority for event and venue operators, parties of 10 or more people congregating together are not allowed.) People inside that circle

wouldn’t get to mingle with people inside other circles, and there would be a cap of no more than 250 people for the day of music, in keeping with current event guidelines. “When we sell that circle, we will have to grab the names of those people

to comply with contact tracing,” Munro explained. “We were originally thinking we could do maybe four or five concerts for the summer—but once we saw all the requirements, we just decided to see how August 1 goes first.” Nicole Vulcan

Provided all goes well and their plan is approved by local health authorities and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, Munro said they hope to tap a few venues in Sisters during the regular festival weekend Sept. 12 and 13. But unlike other years, people would only be able to see music at that venue instead of moving around the town. With this year’s offerings expected to be so limited, Munro said her team made the decision to let people who had bought tickets for this year’s festival use them next year instead, rather than using them for a far more limited lineup. Ticket holders can also donate this year’s tickets to SFF. “It was the fairest thing we could do for our ticket holders and gave us the opportunity to do something completely brand new,” Munro said.

All is Fair in... Well, Nevermind

The Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo hangs up its 10-gallon cowboy hat for the summer By Cayla Clark

T

he much-anticipated Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo, slated to take place at the end of July, has been postponed until July 28, 2021. The largest and longest-running event in all of Central Oregon, boasting 100 consecutive years as of 2019, has been officially knocked out by COVID-19—however temporarily. The Deschutes County Fairgrounds and Expo Center website reads, “Come experience jam-packed fun at the largest county fair in the state of Oregon, attracting over 290,000 folks each year.” An attractive offer, but one that could be considered the social distancer’s nightmare. Jam-packed? No thanks. 290,000? Maybe in Phase Three. So long, funnel cake. We love you and we’ll see you next year. “The majority of the events through August have been canceled or rescheduled,” confirmed Geoff Hinds, Fair and Expo Center director. “Postponements

and cancellations are continuing to evolve as restrictions continue to develop. The Fair & Rodeo, the biggest of all our events, will be completely canceled this year. Right now, we’re still working to see what will happen. Some of our partners are interested in postponing, while others have canceled completely. Now, having entered Phase Two which has expanded the restriction to gatherings of 250 people or fewer, more doors are being opened for certain events to occur. Still, we don’t have any large events that are planned for the near future—none through September.” “So far, our lost revenue to date is estimated at a bit over $600,000. As of now, the total estimated loss of gross revenue will most likely exceed $2.5 million. This could increase, depending on how long event restrictions remain in place. A significant portion of that is due to the cancellation of the annual Fair & Rodeo.”

Some of the canceled events include the Oregon Equestrian Team State Championship, the Father’s Day Demolition Derby, the Cascadian Spring Series Horse Show, the Fourth of July Celebration, the Mayhem Fitness Festival, the

Roses & Rust Vintage Market and the 2020 Oregon High Desert Swap Meet & Car Show. “We’re working hard to make the livestock show and auction a success,” concluded Hinds. “We’ll see what happens.” Pixabay

Farewell, fair fare. We’ll see and devour you next year.

BendFilm Opens New Doors

Using the digital world to its advantage, this year’s BendFilm Festival could be bigger than ever By Isaac Biehl showings, and as big as we can, for the festival. We also will be introducing a virtual aspect.” This will be the first time BendFilm has introduced virtual elements to its festival, which is something Looby says will open more doors for what the festival can accomplish. For example, Looby says some high-profile filmmakers who can’t always make the trip might be able to hold workshops online right from home. They don’t have to skip out on the festival entirely, and it’s cheaper for both parties. BendFilm is using these next few months to really fine tune the process and layout for virtual offerings. “It’ll never replace all the joys and wonders of in-person screen events, but it’s going to be something we hope to have as permanent for people who can’t attend in person,” says Looby.

Along with open venues, BendFilm plans to have two drive-in locations for screenings of films as part of the festival. So no, it won’t look exactly like it has in year’s past, but these changes

might make BendFilm Festival bigger and more accessible than ever. “We think it’s going to be extremely cool. And we’ll be able to do things we have never done before.” Courtesy BendFilm

BendFilm is rolling with the COVID-19 punches and looks to improve.

Small, Niche Festivals May be the Name of the Game By Nicole Vulcan

F

irst it was the Bite of Bend—canceled. Then it was SummerFest and Theatre in the Park. Then, Fall Festival. For Lay It Out Events, the producer of some of the region’s largest gatherings, seeing one festival after the other hit the cutting room floor due to COVID-19 restrictions, has been a challenging experience. With the Oregon Health Authority guidelines limiting gatherings for

events to 250 people or fewer in Phase Two, putting on events on the scale of tens of thousands—as SummerFest and Fall Festival usually do—isn’t really an option. So, like other event companies, Lay It Out has been looking to some of its smaller, niche events, like The Little Woody barrel-aged beer fest. While the company is not yet sure what the Little Woody will look like when it comes around at the end of the

summer, organizers are moving ahead with some type of offering. “We are very excited about the opportunity to still produce a version of The Little Woody this year. With the current regulations around large gatherings, it makes sense to partner with businesses and breweries to spread people around and yet still offer a unique wood-casked beer, cider, and whiskey experience,” said Luke Larson,

event director. “Beer lovers will have to wait until we work out the final details but the Festival must go on! Expect to see a full list of participating breweries and businesses on our website in the coming weeks.” (Disclosure: Lay It Out Events is the sister company of the Source Weekly.)

Cultural Conundrum

Music and arts events round out Bend’s outdoor tourism economy, but pandemic precautions forced most beloved events off the books this year. By Laurel Brauns

V

isit Bend announced in early April that it was putting future Bend Cultural Tourism Fund grants on hold. With transient room tax collections at an all-time low, and state orders forbidding large gatherings, the news came as just one more foreboding loss caused by the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. In 2019, the fund awarded a total of $200,000, divided among BendFilm, the High Desert Museum, Oregon WinterFest, Out Central Oregon (Winter PrideFest), ScaleHouse (Bend Design talks and workshops), Sunriver Music Festival, Tower Theatre Foundation, World Muse, Bend Photo Tours and the Central Oregon Film Office. The BCTF is funded using 7.5% of Visit Bend’s total annual public funding it receives from the City of Bend through transient room tax collections. Bend voters passed Ballot Measure 9-94 in 2013 which increased TRT

collections. Visit Bend promised to use the extra money for cultural marketing initiatives such as BendFilm, which has attracted droves of overnight guests to Bend every October for the last 17 years.

“These funds are still there [in the bank] waiting to be reinvested,” said Kevney Dugan, CEO of Visit Bend. Dugan estimates that VB will have about $70,000 less to grant this fiscal Courtesy Visit Bend

year than it originally estimated, and $100,000 less next year. Dugan explained that under state law, ORS 320, all TRT must go to promoting things that specifically drive visitors to the area, thus it can’t give the grant money to cultural organizations for their operations, even though that could be exactly what they need right now to stay afloat. He said while BCTF's marketing grants are the most common awards, it also has a Catalyst grant that supports “bold ideas that aren’t fully developed,” according to VB’s website. Dugan pointed to OUT Central Oregon as an excellent example of the synergistic potential of this grant to benefit both the tourism economy while contributing to the cultural richness of the community. The organization used the grant it won in 2019 to expand Winter PrideFest and attract visitors from throughout the Pacific Northwest to Bend and Mt. Bachelor.

ow that Deschutes County is in Phase Two, some theaters have been able to open up in a limited capacity and others might be joining soon, depending on studio releases. BendFilm, which now owns the Tin Pan Theater, has looked in a new direction the last few months and unveiled its own digital service to rent and watch movies, with a wide selection of independent films. Because of the access digital streamed movies offer, the organization looks to bring that same innovation to the BendFilm festival in October. “There’s no way it will be exactly normal. Unless there’s some miracle drug or vaccine, or no more government restrictions,” said Executive Director Todd Looby. “We’re proceeding with what is the most likely scenario, with theaters that can open, and hopefully we’ll be in Phase Three by then.

hings are still far from normal, but at least live music is back in some capacity in Central Oregon. It’s probably been months since many of us have been to a concert that wasn’t being viewed over our computer or phone screens. So if I’m jonesing for a show, one can only imagine how artists themselves are feeling. Brandon Prinzing of The Old Revival tells the Source that he and his band have never gone this long without playing a show. Spoiler: It’s been four months!! In our interview, Prinzing shares what kept the group busy during shutdown and how good it feels to be back as they gear up to play at the Volcanic Theatre Pub this Saturday. Source Weekly: So for some perspective, when was the last live show you guys did? Have you ever gone this long without a full-on in-person concert? Brandon Prinzing: The last time we played was this February at WinterFest in Bend. This has definitely been the longest we have gone since the band began without playing any live music. It’s been tough! SW: Were you able to work on new music during this hiatus? BP: When everything began to shut down, we were well into recording our upcoming record. So it allowed us to really buckle down and focus on the recording process. When live shows are no longer an option, it allows you to put every ounce of your creative energy into what’s in front of you. For us, we were simply lucky to have a new record to continue working on and to finish.

SW: How excited are you to play at the Volcanic this weekend? BP: We couldn’t be more excited to be back at the Volcanic. It’s one of our favorite local spots to play, and it feels like it’s been forever since we have been able to jump on the VTP stage. SW: Other than it being a source of income, what did you miss most about not being able to play shows for this long? BP: This band has always been built around having a live show that connects everyone in the room for a small moment in time. It’s a short window in everyone’s hectic lives, band and audience alike, that nothing else matters but the music and the present moment. For us, I know that’s what we miss most. The connection. Now more than ever, I think that’s the kind of thing we need the most. It’s strangely comforting to know that bands are playing around Central Oregon again. Even if you aren’t at the show—the fact people are out there enjoying time at a concert just feels right. To catch The Old Revival and Michalis Patterson for a shot of live music in your life, be sure to grab tickets fast, since VTP is operating with limited capacity.

Central Oregon Pride Goes Virtual

The Local Business Unity Project provides community members with a way to show support and celebrate inclusion By Cayla Clark

and we started to come up with some activities and opportunities that would fulfill the need for a Pride celebration.” Nesbitt detailed the ways OCO was adapting. “The thing we’re the most excited about is the Local Business Unity Project. An artist out of Portland, Daniel Quasar, redesigned the Pride flag to include different colors that represent transgendered people, people of color, basically everybody. We asked if we could license it from him, and we took his design and added text to the bottom that reads, ‘You are welcome here,’” Nesbitt explained. “We’ve been making stickers available to local businesses, so that they can display them in their windows and let customers know that the business is a place that’s welcome to everyone. This is something new to Central Oregon, and we’ve gotten a really great response so far. We’ve had business owners from Eugene, Portland, Hood River, even California reach out and request these stickers. They should now start to be seen in windows throughout Bend; we’ve already distributed 130.” Business owners (and anyone else) interested in picking up a sticker can either contact info@outcentraloregon, or visit Central Oregon Locavore or Recharge Sport. Stickers are free, but donations are accepted. “Because we were supposed to celebrate Pride on Saturday, we want to encourage people to celebrate Pride around town,” Nesbitt continued. “If you own a business, decorate your

shop. Dress up. Go to downtown Bend, look for flags in shop windows and visit businesses that are supporting the Local Business Unity Project.” Nesbitt also confirmed that several other Pride-related events were currently in the works, offering community members more opportunities to celebrate unity and equality. “Last year was the first Pride 5k,” he said. “As of now, we’re hoping that the event can still take place in September, but we’re organizing a virtual 5k in addition. People can walk or run their favorite routes dressed up in colorful outfits. We’re currently gathering prizes for those who participate. On June 21 we’re hosting a program

Natural Wanderment: Stewardship. Sovereignty. Sacredness he exhibit, “Natural Wanderment: Stewardship. Sovereignty. Sacredness.” features the beautiful and rich portraits of Native Americans by photographer Matika Wilbur, a member of the Swinomish and Tulalip tribes located in the state of Washington. With the High Desert Museum opening this week, locals now have a chance to see the images up close. Traveling over 400,000 miles, Wilbur photographed members of the 562 federally recognized indigenous tribes

called ‘OUT in Focus,’ a collaborative project with BendFilm that’s aimed at further highlighting diversity and promoting inclusion. We’ll be screening lesser-known films every month, providing community members an opportunity to discuss what pride means to them and share their unique voices. We really want to provide a platform for those who identify as LGBTQ+ and other marginalized characters.” More information on the events is available at outcentraloregon.com.

in the United States. As Wilbur stated, “I have had to experience for myself the incredible range of homelands of tribal nations, to interact with peoples in their ancient territories to grasp how the connection to natural places makes us who we are.” The connection to the land is prominent in the portraits and accompanying text. Each subject is shown against the backdrop of where they live; the accompanying text often gives historical context to the landscape. These

stories are not just told in historical context, but often give voice to the portrait subject, who is relating their own stories in first person. The result is a deep and thoughtful look at contemporary Native American life. It’s obvious that the relationship between subject and photographer is

that of reverence, respect, love, and admiration. Oftentimes, the subjects look directly in the camera. By contrast, in historical images, Native Americans were portrayed as if the subjects were objects on display. Wilbur’s work is rich in its storytelling, reminding us that the best tellers of stories are the people the stories are about. This project is a reminder of our own connection to the land we live on and our responsibility to know its stories and respect the people who have been here for centuries telling them.  Natural Wanderment: Stewardship.

n Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that LGBTQ+ workers are protected from job discrimination, confirming that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 also covers sexual orientation and transgender status. The existing federal law prohibited sex-related discrimination in the workplace. As President Donald Trump’s first Supreme Court appointee, Neil Gorsuch, wrote to the court, “Those who adopted the Civil Rights Act might not have anticipated their work would lead to this particular result. But the limits of the drafters’ imagination supply no reason to ignore the law’s demands.” June marks LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and although community members may not be able to engage in the colorful group festivities they’re used to, there will still be many opportunities to celebrate love and acceptance. “PrideFest was all set to be held in Drake Park this coming Saturday,” explained Jamie Nesbitt, president of OUT Central Oregon, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group geared toward promoting inclusivity, visibility and community engagement. “We were planning on redefining the festival as ‘High Desert Pride,’ and we had tentatively reserved the park for September 12 after we caught wind of the statewide shutdowns and regulations. Towards the end of May we were told that September wasn’t going to happen, and that we wouldn’t be able to hold a festival in Drake Park at all. We drew something together to let the community know that we were still thinking about them,

A gluten-free, vegetarian dream… piping hot vegetable and tofu pho.

Since reopening, the owners have kept up with guidelines expertly; tables are spaced and sanitized, and it’s worth the trip just to be greeted with a friendly hello and a (masked) smile. Of course, there are few things as satisfying as curling up on the couch with a warm bowl of pho to-go, and take out is always available, too. - Cayla Clark Pho Viet & Café

Pho and Bun Bo Hue at Pho House When I called to place a takeout order, Pho House was fielding so many orders that it took a little time waiting on the phone to place mine. That could very well be a testament to the popularity of Pho House in Redmond—the lone spot dedicated to this delicious soup in Nicole Vulcan

the Hub City. Tucked into a strip mall along U.S. 97, the spot is inviting inside, with muted paper lanterns and attractive art on the walls. I ordered two soups, including the #7 Combo Pho, with thin eye-round slices and sliced beef brisket, rice noodles, raw onion, basil, jalapenos and cilantro, as well as the Bun Bo Hue, a soup with rounded vermicelli noodles and a lemony, limey, lemongrass beef broth. Takeout orders come with the broth separated from the other stuff, so I had a chance to inhale the intoxicating aromas of each broth, and to sip each one, before adding them to their respective noodles. The pho had a strong anise scent—a key ingredient in pho broth—so I knew we were off to a good start. A tad on the salty side, the broth was still delicious when added to the noodles. The Bun Bo Hue is a more complicated flavor profile, at once slightly spicy and citrusy. “Hue was the imperial capital of Vietnam for nearly a century and a half, until 1945, and many of the most sophisticated and interesting dishes in the Vietnamese repertoire originated in the region, including this classic spicy beef soup,” wrote Charles Phan, a James Beard-winning chef and author of “Vietnamese Home Cooking,” in an article on the Epicurious site. “The light stock, which is made with beef and pork bones, is scented with lots of lemongrass and shrimp paste,” Phan wrote. For those who can’t decide between beef and pork and seafood, this may be the soup for you, as Pho House’s version comes with all three. - Nicole Vulcan  Pho House

Why yes—the Bun Bo Hue at Pho House does taste as good as it looks.

hen the sickies come calling, soup is the ultimate comfort food. While a basic chicken soup is often a go-to, Vietnamese soups also offer a combo of soothing warmth and nutrition—not to mention tasting delicious. Pho often contains fresh herbs including cilantro and basil, as well as ginger and bone broth. Ginger can help reduce inflammation; herbs add vitamins, and bone broth may promote joint health, according to Healthline. With the late-spring rain and cooler temps this week, we checked out some local Vietnamese soup options in the local area. Pho at Pho Viet As the first authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Bend, Pho Viet & Cafe serves up delicious traditional noodle dishes and much, much more. The family-owned restaurant has numerous signature entrees, including a flavor-packed pho featuring beef broth that’s slow-cooked for over 10 hours with a variety of fresh herbs. Upon each anticipated visit, it becomes clearer that I am far from the only repeat customer. The pho is outstanding. Flavorful, fresh and always served with a side of jalapeno, bean sprouts, lime and basil so you can be the master of your own spice. In my humble opinion, one of the best things about Pho Viet is that it isn’t just an “I’m in the mood for soup” kind of place. They’ve got a wide variety of cuisine for every appetite, from a magical lemongrass tofu dish (which I highly recommend to all of the vegetarians out there) to seafood hot pots and Pad Thai.

Right Now SCREEN Apocalypse Spike Lee lights a fire with “Da 5 Bloods” By Jared Rasic 23 Photo courtesy of Netflix

While most of the movie takes place in modern day and follows the men searching the jungle for gold and their beloved fallen brother, there are also flashbacks to the war (filmed in glorious and grainy Super-8) and the events leading to the death of Norman (played by the fierce Chadwick Boseman). Watching the ex-soldiers navigating their own past while desperately hunting for some stake in the future is at turns intense, heartbreaking and haunting. Delroy Lindo has been a powerhouse of an actor for decades, with unforgettable performances in movies including “Clockers” and “Malcolm X,” but in “Da 5 Bloods,” Lee has gifted him with the role of his career as Paul, a MAGA hat-wearing conservative with PTSD who starts losing his mind the moment he sets foot back in the jungle. He considers himself to be a broken man, desperate for redemption in not only bringing home the bones of Norman to be interred in Arlington Cemetery, but also to bring home enough gold to be in control of his own life for the first time. Lindo is mesmerizing, making Paul a living, breathing human instead of the grotesque caricature he would have been in lesser hands. At 156 minutes, “Da 5 Bloods” is messy, frenzied, vital and astoundingly timely. Lee draws a perfectly straight line from the Vietnam of the 1970s to the Black Lives Matter movement of today and releases a howl of frustration, pain and rage throughout every second

Chadwick Boseman goes hard in Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods.”

of the film’s runtime. This movie is Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” writ large as a reminder that Black bodies have always stood between us and war—and to ignore that is to submit to the racist narrative pushed by politicians. As Lee has aged, his fury has become tempered. In 2018, when the brutally powerful “Sorry to Bother You,” and “Blindspotting” both came out, “BlackKklansman” almost seemed tepid in comparison. But with “Da 5 Bloods,” his anger is palpable and infuses every frame with life and meaning. The film isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t aspire to be. It has too much to say and not enough time to say it, so every scene

is overstuffed with ideas and subtext that could be food for an entire film, not just a single moment. In a way, I’m glad this is a Netflix Original instead of a theatrical release, because the film is getting the attention it deserves. As nice as it would have been to see “Da 5 Bloods” on the big screen, watching it from home feels luxurious and even more immediate. This movie is now, right now, and it has something to tell you.  Da 5 Bloods

“W

e’ve always believed in the promise of what this country could be; we’re very patriotic. But I think that patriotism is when you speak truth to power. It’s patriotic to speak out about the injustices in this country. That is being an American patriot.” -Spike Lee You can never accuse Spike Lee of making movies that aren’t completely of the moment. It’s like he’s so caught up in the zeitgeist that his movies come fully formed with a fist in the air and a chant on the lips, ready to provoke just as much anger in viewers as Lee feels every day. “Do the Right Thing” is over 30 years old and seems like it could have been made yesterday. “Malcolm X” still crackles with righteous energy. “He Got Game” is the finest movie ever made about basketball and fatherhood. “Clockers” is a gut punch of rage at systemic corruption in the New York Police Department. Across 24 movies and three decades of filmmaking, Lee has never once taken the easy road as a filmmaker. “Da Five Bloods” is Lee’s second war film after 2008’s flawed but fascinating “Miracle at St. Anna,” trading in the desaturated grime of WWII for the gritty green jungles of Vietnam. Paul, Otis, Eddie and Melvin are four aging members of a squad of soldiers (dubbed “Da Bloods”) who head back to Vietnam to search for the body of their squad leader, Norman, and for a locker full of gold bars they stashed 45 years earlier.

Overcrowded and Understaffed

Parking at Smith Rock has never been easy. With state parks on limited services and staff due to the pandemic, things are even tougher.

regon has 256 state parks—meaning a lot of sites to manage across a wide swath of land. So what happens when those popular destinations are understaffed? We’re seeing the toll that parks take right now. Due to COVID-19, many organizations and businesses are experiencing issues with staffing. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is no different. OPRD isn’t funded by taxes, but by revenue gained from visitors to parks and trails in Oregon. Because most of these parks and areas were “closed” to the public at the end of March, OPRD hasn’t been bringing in its normal share of revenue during this typically busy time of the year. And even though people may have still been using day-use areas, it doesn’t mean they were paying fees at trailheads. Without reservations at campsites or lottery fees, OPRD’s main source of revenue was missing entirely. “Our field staff have already been operating with far fewer staff than normal, so while there are no new layoffs planned out on the front lines, we haven’t recalled the seasonal workforce and we’ve frozen hiring into vacant positions,” said Chris Havel, associate director of OPRD. These budget shortfalls have turned into reduced park services all over the state, mostly affecting landscaping, trash collection, restrooms and drinking water sources. As Havel put it, many parks are running on “half steam.” That includes some parks in Central Oregon. “Smith Rock has a small crew normally (five people), and they’re down to three. Misery Ridge at Smith Rock is still closed to reduce close contact between people, and to give the county Search and Rescue team a break,” Havel told the Source. “Even closed, the weather takes its toll, and the Misery Ridge trail suffered erosion damage in that big storm that rolled through. It can be especially hard to keep up with wear-and-tear due to budget difficulties.” Neighbors complain about parking People show up in herds to Smith Rock year-round, and despite reduced staff and services, 2020 won’t be any different. This also means that things like parking overflow, an issue that happens every year, might even get more

out of hand now that people are finally free to enter the park. “Parking at Smith Rock is especially challenging. If there’s no room on the lot, leave and come back later. Parking just anywhere can damage your vehicle, and if you park in a way that poses danger to traffic, you could be cited and towed,” added Havel. The Terrebonne Neighborhood Alliance is currently looking for an interim solution to the issue of parking at Smith Rock and has created a petition to have the overflow addressed. “Once we have enough signers, we will organize a meeting with representatives from the parks, fire department, county health, sheriff, county roads and county commissioners to develop an immediate short-term solution,” Al Dertinger, liaison for the TNA and representative on the State Park Master Planning Committee, wrote in an email. Once the petition reaches enough signatures, TNA hopes to address the safety of community members in the rural area. For instance, the overflow parking spills out onto Wilcox Avenue, and both on 17th and 33rd Street— shoulder-less roads that aren’t meant to hold parked cars or serve as a passage for heavy foot traffic. Parked cars and pedestrians make it a dangerous trip for

locals who regularly use these routes, locals complain. Members of TNA are also concerned about impeding access for emergency vehicles. “While overcapacity is an issue for Smith Rock State Park, the issue spills over to our community in the form of crowded roads, discarded trash, livestock issues, and speeding,” the petition reads. “This impacts the quality of our rural life and potentially our lives by restricting access to our homes and property by emergency response teams.” Neighbors are also concerned about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. With Smith Rock opened on a limited basis, TNA also expressed concerns about a large influx of people from out of town who aren’t complying to safety measures, potentially risking locals’ health. Among its suggested fixes, TNA wants park officials to post signs that tell people to come back another day when the overflow lot becomes full, and to lower speed limits on adjoining roads, as well as eliminating road parking on Wilcox, 17th and 33rd, with enforcement to follow. The TNA petition is accessible at: thepetitionsite. com/784/088/298/make-smith-rockstate-park-great-again/.

Tours, Bike Park and Ziplines Summer might finally be starting! Mt. Bachelor announced it will kick off its summer activities with limited operations June 26, and the rest of their services will open on July 4. There will be mountain biking, hiking, disc golf and whitewater rafting with Sun Country Tours. Oh, and did we mention that Mt. Bachelor is opening up a new zipline?! This ZipTour zipline will be the “fastest, steepest and highest elevation zipline in the northwest.” With a 1,400 foot vertical descent, this new attraction will fly from the top of Pine Marten down to the West Village Base area.

Socially Distanced Bike Race Another chance to get out and about and stretch those legs after long periods at home comes from 10 Barrel’s new MTB series, Riding Solo. It started back on June 12, but riders still have until June 21 to submit times. The race is completely done on your own time; all you need is a GPS device to save and share recordings. With both a long and short course, the top three male and female finishers in each category will win sweet prizes. Plus, the race is free to enter! Or you can choose to pay $10 for a commemorative race hat/bandana. Once you get your race number riders are meant to make their own number plate, so get creative! Ride the way you want, when you want (as long as it’s by June 21) and how fast you want. Just go have fun with it! Register online at 10barrel.com/ event/riding-solo-series/.

Importance of Maintaining Your Home The interior checklist

simple cleaning and basic, DIY friendly tasks. The heating and cooling system should be professionally serviced and inspected at least once a year. HVAC air filters should be changed at least twice a year. Electric heaters, both wall and baseboard, and central air heat vents should be vacuumed out every few months. Once a year, take time to remove the lint from out of the dryer vent, refrigerator coils and bathroom vent fans, all of which have a tendency to have build-up that will prevent proper operation. Inspect caulking in the kitchen and bathrooms—the wet areas. Unclog drains and check under all of your sinks and around toilets for leaks. A piece of paper towel can help identify water that seems invisible. Inspect weatherstripping on all of the doors and windows. A candle or an incense stick will show you where air is flooding in. This particular task will help seal the home envelope and help with heating and cooling costs and will reduce the amount of air pollutants coming in. Make sure to hire a chimney sweep yearly to clean the wood stove or fireplace. Lubricate doors, windows and garage doors and springs so they continue to perform well and close easily. Stay organized by keeping a detailed record of all of the upgrades and maintenance performed. There are plenty of useful apps and software, such as Home Binder, that help track home improvement projects and provide maintenance reminders.

aintaining a home inside and out will help protect resale value and reduce the risk of expensive and preventable repairs. Speaking first-hand from both a general contractor’s perspective who’s repaired many preventable issues and a realtor who has shown and sold many properties, a small and consistent effort goes a long way. Frank Lesh, former president of the American Society of Home Inspectors, says it’s the little things that tend to trip up people, like cracked caulk around the windows, or a furnace filter that hasn’t been changed in a while. If water gets behind the caulk and into the sheathing, causing mold and rot, it’s a $5,000 repair that could’ve been prevented with a $4 tube of caulk and a half hour of time. When a house is for sale and the professional home inspection report comes back, the truth about home maintenance efforts will be told. Dirty furnace filters, cracked caulking and water leaks are common finds and will cost home sellers in repair negotiations. A previous article earlier this month covered the exterior maintenance checklist. Now to the interior of the home. Interior upkeep ensures your home is in good physical condition and helps to create a healthier environment. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans spend 87% of their time indoors—a huge reason to keep up on interior maintenance, for the health of the home, its systems and the entire family. Some interior maintenance should be left to the pros, but a lot consists of

friend of three months. I’m falling in love but don’t know how to say it. Is there a way that’s “safer” than others? Say it super casually? Slip it in at the end of a phone convo? In the middle of sex? —Wondering Woman For originality and visual appeal, you can’t beat the interior decorator approach to ILY: Your boyfriend walks into your apartment, and you have a little shrine with a small gold statuette of him surrounded by candles and oranges. But let’s back up from the “how to tell him” question to why you feel the need. Sure, you care about him, and it’s romantic to be all heart-baring. However, it’s possible the suspense from not knowing how he feels is causing uncomfortable psychological tension, the mind’s version of a really bad need to pee. Unfortunately, what’s best for a full bladder might not set up the best dynamic for a relationship. Consider research by evolutionary social psychologist Joshua Ackerman and his colleagues. Though people believe “it takes men an average of 3 weeks longer than women to confess love,” men tend to be the ones to “express love and commitment first.” This makes sense when you consider that sex could leave a woman a single mom with a kid to feed. Women evolved to be “commitment skeptics,” erring on the side of doubting a man’s willingness to stick around and provide. A man in love is a man unlikely to be clandestinely swiping right on the hot hussies of Tinder. Because men and women coevolved, men expect commitment skepticism from women. And because of this, I suspect it creates a stronger foundation for a relationship if a man perceives his female partner to be higher in mate value (say, an 8 to his 6.5). Heresy, I know. But note that it’s generally seen as romantic if a husband says about his wife, “Just glad she didn’t realize she could do much better!” and if a woman said that, we’d probably pity her. If a longing to escape emotional limbo is behind your desire to get blurty, recognize that you aren’t without information about how the guy feels. Look to his behavior. Does he show you he loves you and longs to be around you even when you’ll be spending hours and hours fully clothed? Does he show concern for your well-being, helping you with some thorny work issue or

giving you emotional support when you’re down? If you, through your own actions, show that you care, you signal that he can safely express love for you, in which case, you can say it back. As a woman, judicious honesty about your feelings is probably the best policy. Sure, let a man know you’re into him, but hold back on exactly how much: “If we weren’t together, I’d chain you to a wall in my basement and lower your food in a bucket.”

Ember Alert I want to end

a relationship, but I don’t know how. I don’t want to hurt my boyfriend’s feelings, Amy Alkon but we’re just not a good fit. I really hate conflict and would rather just ghost, but I know that’s not right. What’s the easiest way to break up with someone? Is there a way to make it less traumatic? —Avoidant The easiest way to break up with someone is to be crushed by a flaming meteorite. There’s no uncomfortable conversation; your smoking ashes say it all: “It’s not you. It’s me, and specifically, the way I’ve been turned into a pile of fireplace trash.” You, on the other hand, are turning this guy into a human beetle trapped in relationship amber because you’re letting your emotions do your thinking. Psychologist Daniel Kahneman explains that our brain has two information-processing systems, a fast-responding emotional system and a slower rational system. Our fast emotional system jumps in automatically. (You just get angry when someone keys your car; you don’t have to decide to be angry.) Reasoning, however, is “mental work,” Kahneman explains. It requires choosing to make the effort, like considering whether your initial emotional reaction (in this case, “avoid conflict at all cost!”) is actually a wise response. You might, for example, calculate how much time you spend daily fretting over procrastinating and add up the weekly “cost.” Chances are you’re actually having a ton of “conflict”; it’s just not with the person it would be helpful to. Telling this guy, “I just don’t think we’re a good fit,” on the other hand, releases him to find somebody who actually wants him. It also eliminates relationship issues that tend to crop up when you stay with somebody who isn’t doing it for you anymore. (If your partner’s inspired to get a battery-operated device to liven things up in bed, it shouldn’t be a defibrillator.)

sure that’s haunted by fear,� wrote Cancerian author Jean de La Fontaine. I’ll make that one of my prayers for you in the coming weeks. It’s a realistic goal you can achieve and install as a permanent improvement in your life. While you’re at it, work on the following prayers, as well: 1. To hell with bliss that’s haunted by guilt. 2. To hell with joy that’s haunted by worry. 3. To hell with breakthroughs that are haunted by debts to the past. 4. To hell with uplifts that are haunted by other people’s pessimism.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Experiment #1: As you

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Vincent van Gogh’s painting The Starry Night is one of the world’s most treasured paintings. It has had a prominent place in New York’s Museum of Modern Art since 1941. If it ever came up for sale it would probably fetch over $100 million. But soon after he created this great masterpiece, van Gogh himself called it a “failure.� He felt the stars he’d made were too big and abstract. I wonder if you’re engaging in a comparable underestimation of your own. Are there elements of your life that are actually pretty good, but you’re not giving them the credit and appreciation they deserve? Now’s a good time to reconsider and re-evaluate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Now is a favorable time to make adjustments in how you allocate your attention—to re-evaluate what you choose to focus on. Why? Because some people, issues, situations, and experiences may not be worthy of your intense care and involvement, and you will benefit substantially from redirecting your fine intelligence in more rewarding directions. To empower your efforts, study these inspirational quotes: “Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.� —philosopher Simone Weil. “Attention is the natural prayer of the soul.� —philosopher Nicolas Malebranche.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Marianne Moore’s poem “O To Be a Dragon,� begins with the fantasy, “If I, like Solomon, could have my wish . . .� What comes next? Does Moore declare her desire to be the best poet ever? To be friends with smart, interesting, creative people? To be admired and gossiped about for wearing a tricorn hat and black cape as she walked around Greenwich Village near her home? Nope. None of the above. Her wish: “O to be a dragon, a symbol of the power of Heaven—of silk-worm size or immense; at times invisible. Felicitous phenomenon!� In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to be inspired by Moore in the coming weeks. Make extravagant wishes for lavish and amusing powers, blessings, and fantastic possibilities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “We must combine the toughness of the serpent and the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.� Capricorn hero Martin Luther King, Jr. said that, and now I’m conveying it to you. In my astrological opinion, his formula is a strategy that will lead you to success in the coming weeks. It’ll empower you to remain fully open and receptive to the fresh opportunities flowing your way, while at the same time you’ll remain properly skeptical about certain flimflams and delusions that may superficially resemble those fresh opportunities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “If it makes you

nervous—you’re doing it right,� says the daring musician and actor Donald Glover. Personally, I don’t think that’s true in all situations. I’ve found that on some occasions, my nervousness stems from not being fully authentic or being less than completely honest. But I do think Glover’s formula fully applies to your efforts in the coming weeks, Aquarius. I hope you will try new things that will be important to your future, and/or work to master crucial skills you have not yet mastered. And if you’re nervous as you carry out those heroic feats, I believe it means you’re doing them right.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean author Patricia Hampl understands a lot about the epic tasks of trying to know oneself and be oneself. She has written two memoirs, and some of her other writing draws from her personal experiences, as well. And yet she confesses, “Maybe being oneself is always an acquired taste.� She suggest that it’s often easier to be someone you’re not; to adopt the ways of other people as your own; to imitate what you admire rather than doing the hard work of finding out the truth about yourself. That’s the bad news, Pisces. The good news is that this year has been and will continue to be a very favorable time to ripen into the acquired taste of being yourself. Take advantage of this ripening opportunity in the coming weeks!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): My Aries friend Lavinia told me, “The fight I’m enjoying most lately is my fight to resist the compulsion to fight.� I invite you to consider adopting that attitude for the foreseeable future. Now and then, you Rams do seem to thrive on conflict, or at least use it to achieve worthy deeds—but the coming weeks will not be one of those times. I think you’re due for a phase of sweet harmony. The more you cultivate unity and peace and consensus, the healthier you’ll be. Do you dare act like a truce-maker, an agreement-broker, and a connoisseur of rapport?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The answers you get depend upon the questions you ask,� wrote physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn. That’s always true, of course, but it’s especially true for you right now. I recommend that you devote substantial amounts of your earthy intelligence to the task of formulating the three most important questions for you to hold at the forefront of your awareness during the rest of 2020. If you do, I suspect you will ultimately receive answers that are useful, interesting, and transformative.

regon’s 9th Annual Cider Week kicks off June 18, and allows Oregonians the opportunity to taste to their heart’s content, meet the makers, sample special releases and celebrate everything cider. The Northwest Cider Association, host of the event, has been busy making adaptations to its regular programming in light of COVID-19 restrictions. Still, the fermented apple show must go on, and Oregon Cider Week has transitioned to a virtual platform. People can participate in most of the scheduled events from the comfort of their own couch (or backyard, weather permitting). Corvallis’ 2 Towns Ciderhouse will participate on Thursday, June 25 from 5-6pm, offering up insight on its Prickly Pearadise, a 2018 vintage Cidre Bouche and a third cider yet to be announced. To participate, buy the ciders beforehand either online or at local shops, sign up for free and tune in to join via Zoom. The makers will provide a complimentary guided tasting, answer any questions and share some interesting cider-centric stories. Many Portland cideries will offer their own virtual events, and because it’s virtual, it’s easier for Central Oregonians to get in on the activities. Tamara Roark, co-owner of Bend Cider Co., explained her involvement in the unexpected transition from live and in-person to behind the screens. “I was hoping to get more people excited about cider by planning different events as a part of the Cider Fest, like the Cider Olympics and a Cider race with Cascades Relays. Central Oregon has a lot of fun ways to celebrate beer, but we really wanted to have some events that were more focused on cider. Everything was in the works, and then COVID hit and it all fell through.”

While Roark and her husband had anticipated that the Bend Cider Co. tasting room would be open to the public come June, they now plan to break ground sometime in July. “We’re still in the final stages of permitting, which has proven challenging,” she said. “Next year we’re going to open the tasting room up for tasting and pairings. We’ve got an outdoor stage for special events and a kid-friendly area, so parents can enjoy a beverage while the kids play. We have a nice outdoor garden that will be open for private tastings next month. We want to educate the public. This is such a new industry, and many people don’t realize how many different types of ciders are out there. Legend Cider in La Pine has a great farmhouse cider. AVID has a delicious, sweet blackberry cider. In our case, we focus more on a botanical element in our ciders, which are classic and dry.” Bend Cider Co. offers an Acai Mint Cider, infused with fresh spearmint, and a Mandarin Juniper Cider, which Roark noted was quickly becoming a local favorite. While Bend Cider Co. has no scheduled Cider Fest programming, they will host a virtual happy hour on July 1 via the @pnwcidergirl Instagram page. “I encourage people to pick up a cider they haven’t tried before,” concluded Roark. “Just jump onto the website and find a virtual happy hour, a guided cider pairing or an educational series. The “Virtually 4 Peaks” Music Festival will be happening during the same week, so why not do a little cider drinking while listening? Support local cideries!” Check out the entire list of events at oregonciderweek.com/event-calendar.  Oregon Cider Week
