VOLUME 26 ISSUE 09 / MARCH 3, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY
On the Cover: Cover design by Erica Durtschi. Thanks
Some months ago, when I was considering how to approach this year’s Women’s Issue, I began to wonder, are women’s issues something people want to talk about in 2022? But then the Supreme Court began oral arguments on Mississippi’s 15-week abortion bill, which stands to overturn Roe v. Wade, and I was convinced that women’s issues still stand front and center as important topics of discussion and action. Women in poverty—which includes tens of millions of women of color in this country—continue to be most impacted by restrictions on reproductive rights, parental leave (or the lack thereof) and restrictive rental and housing policies (or the lack thereof)—and that’s not even mentioning the assaults currently happening toward people who assign themselves a different gender than the one they were assigned at birth. This week’s editorial outlines some of the current challenges for women and girls—a good start in kicking off this women’s issue, in my mind. Inside these pages you’ll also hear from local female athletes about how Title IX and its implications in women’s sports have impacted their lives. You’ll get an entire guide to World Muse, the local conference that centers around issues important to women. And we’ll outline some of the facts around how Central Oregon would be impacted should the Supreme Court rule against Roe. Women’s issues don’t rise and fall just because it’s now Women’s History Month, but because of that occasion, we’re taking some time to honor women and share in their struggles. Rather than devoting a lot of time and energy to naming a Woman of the Year, as we have done in the past, we are focused on the issues this year, because the issues are just as crucial in 2022 as they were in 1972. Thanks for reading!

OPINION
In 2022, Women’s Rights are Not a Done Deal
If there’s one story thread that we can follow throughout this current moment in history, it’s perhaps that things we thought were relatively unshakeable truths may not be so true after all. From the pandemic to politics to climate change to the advent of war, this time in history is no benign one. And in many of these realms, it is women who have borne and will bear much of the burden. We have seen this plainly over the past two years, when women, already the primary caregivers in many homes, were tasked not just with juggling work and home and motherhood, but also, starting in 2020, with being arbiters of their children’s education—all while the norms of work shifted greatly. Some women, “allowed” to stay home, found themselves in a never-ending time warp where all the day’s activities took place around a cramped kitchen table. Other women, required by economics and the nature of their work, continued to work outside the home— if they could, that is, because with the crisis-level lack of child care only getting worse during this pandemic, some of those “essential” workers were once again forced to make the impossible decision to stay home with kids who no longer had a place to go during the day. When some now complain about the millions in emergency rental and housing funds that have been paid to Oregon families throughout this pandemic, think of these women—those forced out of the workforce, with few choices left to them but to beseech the government to help them stay housed. But there are other unshakeable truths we have seen shake, too. In this modern moment, women of childbearing age have grown up knowing that their right to choose whether or not to have a child is protected, following the landmark decision of Roe v. Wade in 1973. In that case, which found its way all the way to the Supreme Court, a pregnant single woman brought a class action suit that challenged the abortion laws in Texas. Today, rather than resting easy in the knowledge that this is a fight women won decades ago, the same state— Texas—again is the vanguard in the abortion battle, this time empowering neighbors to turn in their neighbors should they try to have an abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy. Clinics in nearby states are already surging with extra patients due to the restrictive and vigilante-like law. As if that were not enough, the same state is now investigating the parents of trans children for child abuse. But that’s only the start. The year
2021 saw more than 90 bans or restrictions on abortion pass at the state and local levels across the United States. The U.S. Supreme Court is currently considering a Mississippi case that could stand to overturn Roe v. Wade. With a conservative majority on the Supreme Court, some in state and local government see this as their moment to shake the truths that women have relied upon for the past 49 years in order to choose their own lives, and how and when they bear children. We’ve already mentioned how the current child care crisis is affecting women right now—and that’s not even factoring in the lack of paid family leave that plagues the majority of American women. Just 23% of civilian U.S. workers has access to paid family leave as of March 2021, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Every year, the Source Weekly opts to publish a Women’s Issue in March, in honor of women, and in the hopes that by highlighting some of the challenges and accomplishments of women, we can move our country forward. This year, perhaps more than others, we are seeing our country move backward—and the people who tend to bear the brunt of these backward movements are largely women and people of color. Governments that are led by the people will always move and shift, albeit often slowly, by the will of the people—and it is to that point that we end this piece. We may currently live in a political bubble in Oregon, a state that has already codified women’s right to an abortion and has made efforts to support women who have had to make impossible choices during this pandemic—but unshakeable truths can be shaken here, too. One action builds upon the next until, nearly 50 years after a truth became imminent, it is challenged again. “You don’t make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas." —Shirley Chisholm, The first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress

SAFETY
RE: NEIGHBORHOODS ISSUE, FEATURE, 2/24
I am curious as to how the Awbrey Butte neighborhood earned the moniker “Environmentally Conscious Neighbors” (Trevor Bradford’s article on p.21, Feb 24 issue on neighborhoods). The article gives no evidence, but rather emphasizes that most homes are “over $1 million” and that the folks of “this upper-class region have an upper-class selection of activities...”. The article concludes by noting “Large lot sizes for each home...” and finishes by once again describing Awbrey Butte as an “environmentally friendly neighborhood.” So...wealth and privilege equate to being environmentally conscious? No. Wealth equates to a higher carbon footprint and higher consumption of earth resources. Yet for some reason, we see
all those lovely trees and think the mansion cloaked in their midst is somehow making this a greener world. Again, this is incorrect. The Earth is loaded with 7.9 billion people, and little Bend is bursting over 100,000. Massive consumption of resources and space is not environmentally sustainable. The path forward, where we all get to thrive on this beautiful planet, is one of fewer mansions and smaller lots and denser neighborhoods. Being environmentally conscious means reducing one’s impact on this planet so that others may enjoy it too. —Hal Wershow
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 5
The boundaries of Congressional District 5 have been redrawn, and over half of its voters are new to the district. All of us newbies need to get acquainted with the candidates seeking to represent us in new District 5. Fortunately, for voters in Deschutes County, the choice in the May 17 Democratic primary between Jamie McLeod-Skinner and Kurt Schrader is an easy one. Although Kurt presents himself as the incumbent, 53% of the voters have never seen him on their ballots. And on the issues we care about, the choice is clear. Jamie, unlike Kurt, won’t vote to obstruct and undermine the climate action measures needed to stave off drought and climate crisis, and then pretend to support them. Jamie, unlike Kurt, believes that workers should be paid a living wage of at least $15/hour. Jamie, unlike Kurt, will vote to ensure that our drinking water is safe from pesticides and lead. Jamie, unlike Kurt, is wholeheartedly in favor of enabling Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices. Jamie, unlike Kurt, won’t be beholden to corporate donors
because she doesn’t take corporate PAC money. Jamie, unlike Kurt, has come out in favor of prohibiting Members of Congress from active stock trading. In Central Oregon, we’ve seen Jamie in action. We know she is a pragmatic progressive who has demonstrated her ability to work with people of all political persuasions. That’s why I will vote for Jamie—to elect someone who shares our values and who will work for us. —Mary Chaffin
RE: RE: TIME TO BRING BACK THE COMMUNITY TOWN HALL, LETTER OF THE WEEK 2/24
Dear William, The current form of local government is not a democracy—not a republic—not even a tyranny. We are currently being governed by a “Technocracy” and the sooner open public meetings resume, the better. Machines are firmly in control! Instead of Skynet of Terminator, our reality has the Cloud. I look forward to my 3 minutes of Testimony upon resumption of meetings and invite the entire community to attend.

Just moved to Bend recently (after visiting the last 15 years) and noticed the same problem here as back at our old home; so I’ll offer the same suggestion to the local police department as I did back in NH. Here’s a chance to make some extra money for the city as well as promote safety—station police cars at various traffic light intersections and start pulling over those cars running the red light—there are many of them. I have learned not to proceed on my green light until I am sure I will not get sideswiped, so please don’t give me the horn if you are in back of me. Word will get out that Bend police are enforcing traffic laws (and making some extra money for the city) and hopefully that will fix the problem. And while on the subject of safety, please if you are walking or riding your bike at dusk or later, carry a light so that you can be seen by us drivers! Stay safe. —Gary Philippy

The Hugh Hartman Holidays WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 3, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE
6
New holiday traditions at a Redmond elementary school confounded parents, who petitioned to get holiday celebrations back on the calendar By Jack Harvel On Feb. 15 a parent of a Hugh Hartman Elementary student started an online petition over what was happening at their child’s school. Within 48 hours the petition got over 150 signatures—quite a few considering the school only has 335 students. The problem: the school didn’t have a Valentine’s Day celebration and replaced it with what it called Kindness Week. The petition connects Kindness Week with other times the school has altered or didn’t celebrate holidays, and alleges that Hugh Hartman no longer allows the celebration of popular holidays and cultural events. Hugh Hartman administrators say there’s no policy barring holiday celebrations, and that it is finding unique traditions for a unique school. Hugh Hartman is a new addition to the Redmond School District. Opening its doors as a K-3 school in September 2020, it’s adding a grade each year and will become a full K-5 by the fall of 2022. It’s the only dual-language Spanish-English program in the district, and its student body is the most diverse elementary in town. Opening months after COVID-19 began circulating in Central Oregon, it’s had to deal with closures, masks and protesters trying to persuade students to stage a walkout. “They actually had a classroom card exchange last year for Valentine’s. Which was really exciting, because that was the first celebration after a return to in person education last year,” said Catherine Alene, a parent of a third grader at Hugh Hartman, and the author of the petition. “When I learned that it was a more far-reaching decision, I was very surprised to learn that that had not been communicated to me terribly effectively.” Alene likened it to Festivus, a neo-holiday popularized by "Seinfeld" that stripped away the commercial and jolly aspects of Christmas, replacing it with an “airing of grievances” and a wrestling match with the head of the household. The school, however, points to core values selected by parents as one of the guiding reasons for the different celebration. Before the school year, 190 Hugh Hartman families selected from a list of values to identify what they wanted to see at school. The highest ranking values are inclusion and
belonging, safety, respect/responsibility, kindness and fostering individuality. “In the case of Valentine’s Day, our families identified ‘kindness’ as one of their top core values. Another motivating factor was to expand the opportunities for students to share their appreciation, love and friendship to their peers and loved ones. Providing students with opportunities to design and create the cards is also empowering for children,” said Lisa Burgher, principal at Hugh Hartman Elementary, in an email. “And of course, any time there is pressure for families to produce cards or candy or gifts, undue financial burdens occur and we like to minimize burdens on the family.” There have been complaints about other holiday celebrations, which are largely guided by the school’s monthly themes. In December a monthly theme of traditions around the world explored a diverse set of winter celebrations, but no singular event. In October the school’s theme of Hispanic Heritage Month gave opportunities for celebrations that mimicked Halloween and Día de los Muertos. “We had dress-up days that highlighted the importance of historical people. Both holidays involve dressing up and celebrating the dead which is what we did, it just wasn’t labeled as such,” Burgher said. Burgher’s talked to some parents about the new types of celebrations, and said that they’re more amenable after the school’s goals are explained. She also said that fourth graders were polled on whether they preferred Valentine’s Day or Kindness Week, and it was split 50/50. A small Facebook group of Hugh Hartman parents discussed the issue on and off for the past month, with a mixed response from parents. Parents differed on whether alternative celebrations were a big deal, but most agreed it could’ve been communicated better. “A lot of the things are sent out in electronic format, and not all parents are getting those. Paper newsletters sometimes come out and sometimes don’t,” said Sarah Miller, a parent of a Hugh Hartman student. “There’s a lot of short notice for things, and I know a lot of parents have to have at least two weeks’ notice

that they’re going to take time off to be able to attend a meeting or a function.” The principal agrees with this and says after receiving parent feedback she’s looking to more effectively communicate with families. The different celebrations aren’t any new policy, and celebrations have typically been up to the discretion of administrators. Halloween, for example, could include all-day costumes, no costumes, a short parade or spirit week at different schools in the same district. “As a district, schools obviously follow a set of like curriculum standards, but beyond that schools and administrators have a lot of autonomy about what types of events they plan,” said Sheila Miller, public information officer of the Redmond School District. “They know their schools best, and they know their communities best. So we give them that freedom in determining what types of celebrations and events they want to have at their school.” Hugh Hartman, just its second year in, is still finding its identity. Burgher said children need “rhythm, routine and rituals,” and that these different holiday celebrations serve the same social functions as traditional holidays. She added that the school will seek to refine and tweak holidays as necessary moving forward, after gathering and considering input. “At Hugh Hartman, we are still defining these traditions. There is no one way to celebrate any holiday or event,” Burgher said. "We prioritize linking learning to everything we do in our school, from our classrooms to our school and family events. By highlighting and teaching positive character traits for our students we are helping students to develop strong social skills and a positive self-image."
Mandates Ending Even Sooner
Oregon is moving the end of indoor mask mandates sooner for the third time By Jack Harvel Gov. Kate Brown announced mandated indoor mask use will be lifted on March 12, at the same time as Washington state, after previously announcing Oregon’s mandate would end no later than March 31, and later pushed forward to March 19. Oregon state health officials had wanted to hold off on repealing indoor mask mandates until there were fewer than 400 COVID-positive patients in the state’s hospital system, which aligns with the number of pre-Omicron caseloads. Masks will still be required in health care settings, airports and on public transit, adhering to federal requirements, but individual counties and school districts will be able to set their own policies. Brown announced the policies in a joint statement with Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. In California start-
ing March 1, masks will not be required but will be strongly recommended for unvaccinated people in most indoor settings. Masks will not be required in California schools after March 11. “On the West Coast, our communities and economies are linked. Together, as we continue to recover from the Omicron surge, we will build resiliency and prepare
for the next variant and the next pandemic. As we learn to live with this virus, we must remain vigilant to protect each other and prevent disruption to our schools, businesses, and communities––with a focus on protecting our most vulnerable and the people and communities that have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19,” Brown said in a press release. During a press conference Feb. 28, Oregon state epidemiologist Dr. Dean Sidelinger said 479 people had COVID in Oregon hospitals. Most of Oregon counties still fall under the Centers for Disease Prevention’s high-risk category, which he expects will shift to lower risk categories in the next two weeks. Oregon and Washington are among the last states to lift mask mandates. Director of the Oregon Department of Education Colt Gill said the Oregon Health Authority and ODE will provide updated guidance for schools at the local level in the next week. On Feb. 16 the Redmond School District became the second in the state to opt-out of mask mandates, but reneged on Feb. 28 after two school unions expressed concern and state agencies threatened fines. The board updated the resolution to no longer include a date, which was set as March 2.

Los mandatos terminan incluso más pronto
Por tercera ocasión, Oregon está adelantando el final del mandato del uso del cubrebocas en espacios interiores La Gobernadora Kate Brown anunció que el mandato del uso del cubrebocas en espacios interiores se eliminará el 12 de marzo, al mismo tiempo que el estado de Washington, después de haber anunciado anteriormente que el mandato de Oregon terminaría a más tardar el 31 de marzo y después se adelantó al 19 de marzo. Las autoridades de salud del estado de Oregon querían posponer la derogatoria del mandato sobre el uso del cubrebocas en espacios interiores hasta que hubieran menos de 400 pacientes positivos a COVID en el sistema hospitalario del estado, que con el número de casos anteriores a Ómicron. Los cubrebocas seguirán siendo necesarios en los centros de atención médica, los aeropuertos y el transporte público, apegandose a los requisitos federales, pero los condados y distritos escolares podrán plantear sus propias políticas. Brown anunció las políticas en una declaración conjunta con el gobernador de Washington Jay Inslee y con el gobernador de California Gavin Newsom. En California, a partir del 1º de Marzo, no se necesitará del uso del cubrebocas, pero se recomendará el uso en las personas no vacunadas en la mayoría de los espacios interiores. No se requerirá del uso del cubrebocas en las escuelas de California

después del 11 de marzo. “En la costa oeste, nuestras comunidades y la economía están ligadas. Juntos, mientras que seguimos recuperándonos del alta de Omicron, edificaremos resiliencia y nos prepararemos para la siguiente variante y la siguiente pandemia. Mientras que aprendemos a vivir con este virus, debemos seguir al tanto para protegernos los unos a los otros y prevenir interrupciones a las escuelas, negocios y comunidades––con el enfoque de proteger a las personas más vulnerables y a
las comunidades que se han visto afectadas de manera desproporcionada debido a COVID-19,” dijo Brown en una rueda de prensa. Durante una conferencia de prensa del 28 de febrero, el epidemiólogo del estado de Oregon, el Dr. Dean Sidelinger dijo que 479 personas tenían COVID en los hospitales de Oregon. La mayoría de los condados de Oregon aún siguen bajo la catagoría de alto riesgo para los Centros para la Prevención de las Enfermedades, lo cual espera que cambien a la categoría de menor riesgo en las próximas dos semanas. Oregon y Washington están entre los últimos estados en eliminar el mandato del uso del cubrebocas. El director de la Secretaria de Educación de Oregon (ODE por sus siglas en inglés), Colt Gill, dijo que la Secretaria de Salud de Oregon y la ODE ofrecerán orientación actualizada para las escuelas a nivel local en la próxima semana. El 16 de febrero, el distrito escolar de Redmond, llego a ser el segundo en el estado en no optar por el mandato del uso del cubrebocas, pero el 28 de febrero se retractó después de que dos uniones escolares expresaran la preocupación y las agencias estatales amenazaran con multarlos. La mesa directiva actualizó la resolución para no incluir ya una fecha, la cual había sido fijada para el 2 de marzo.

ISSUE
From reproductive rights to women in sport, lots has changed—and changed again—in the last 50 years. Our annual Women’s Issue takes a look at some of the issues facing women today, and looks ahead to new frontiers.
Title IX, 50 Years Later
The landmark civil rights bill barring discrimination based on sex in public schools keeps finding new avenues to build equity By Jack Harvel Courtesy of Truby Studio, Durant, Oklahoma
In the early 1970s Hawaii Rep. Patsy Mink, with the help of Oregon Rep. Edith Green, drafted a version of what would later become Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The whole bill modified financial aid, expanded the Equal Pay Act of 1963 to cover executives, administrators and outside salespeople, and most notably prohibited discrimination on the basis of sex in educational institutions. Before then, schools limited educational opportunities for women. “If you were in math and science, you did not have access to the universities,” said Ellen Schmidt-Devlin, co-founder and executive director of the University of Oregon’s Sports Product Management Program. Schmidt-Devlin has personal experience of schools’ practices of diverting women from math and science. She was in high school when Title IX passed, but her sister attended Oregon State University before it was enacted. “Without a doubt she would have been a computer scientist. She went to Oregon State, and they quickly showed her the Home Ec. college,” Schmidt-Devlin said. “She kept on going over saying, ‘I think I want to go to this college, and I think I might be good at this.’ And they kept saying, ‘Well, no, no, no, you’re a woman, you’ll be over here.’” Women in sports There was a similar chilling effect in sports, which is among the most visible ways Title IX changed the landscape of public education. Few sports were available to women prior to that. “There were some girls sports—you could do cheerleading, you could maybe play tennis, there was maybe one or two things you could do as a girl in high school, but there wasn’t very much opportunity,” SchmidtDevlin said. “In 1972, Title IX was passed, and the high schools started adding sports for the girls. I was right there and I was in heaven. I could play basketball or play volleyball and I had already started to run.” College-level athletics was separated into the National Collegiate Athletic Association for men, and the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. In 1981 the NCAA offered championships for women, causing many AIAW defections. The AIAW lost an antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA and would cease to exist by 1983. Schmidt-Devlin felt the AIAW was too cautious in advancing women’s sports.
The Oklahoma Presbyterian College Cardinals were trailblazers for pre-Title IX women’s athletics, offering scholarships 40 years before the legislation passed. Without competition, they mostly played against semi-professional women’s teams.
“We quickly found out that the NCAA only wanted men at that point. And the AIAW were responsible for women, and their approach was that they have a section of high performing women, but this is more about
opportunity, and participation, and we need to slow things down, so that we can allow more women’s coaches to be developed and ready to lead women,” SchmidtDevlin said. “Rather than letting it evolve and letting
“Women’s sports is still trying to figure out how to be a profitable business. And I think it’s clearly on the way. Soccer, basketball, tennis, it’s clearly on the way, but still, it’s expensive for the universities.” —ELLEN SCHMIDT-DEVLIN
Women's Issue WE ASKED LOCAL ATHLETES:
What have sports meant to you in your life? Compiled by Nicole Vulcan and Trinity Bradle. Photos by Erica Durtschi.
Jillian Bremont Sophomore, Redmond High School “I’ve played sports my entire life and I don’t even know what I would do if I didn’t have them. I am so glad that they [Title IX] are celebrating their 50th anniversary. That is so awesome! I can’t even imagine before that. My grandma was telling me these stories about how she was a cheer captain in school because that was the only sport they offered to girls. Being able to do the sports today, that used to only be available to men, is so amazing and I am super grateful.
Alex Johnston
Senior, Bend Senior High School “It’s been a really big stress outlet for me, especially during COVID. It’s something that I easily find joy in doing and I make connections with people more easily because of it.”
Ava Carry McDonald Senior, Summit High School “Sports have really helped me build confidence. Specifically, track has taught me about building strength and not just working out to change my body shape, which has been important. It’s been a great way for me to deal with mental health. It’s been a really good outlet, a way to meet friends and overall, a really positive experience in my life.”
Maggie Williams Senior, Summit High School “Sports have meant a lot since I have had a lot of special experiences with teammates and friends. I’ve just been able to go and meet new people and have fun competing. I’ve really enjoyed it and it’s been a big part of my life.”
Marley Hardgrave Senior, Bend Senior High School “It’s been a huge part of my life. I don’t really remember any year of my life where I haven’t been doing anything active. It’s always been a way to make friends and stay active. Volleyball specifically, has brought me so much happiness since middle school.”
Title IX is only 35 words, but it’s been paramount to women striving for equity in school programs, sports and more.

high performing women have more opportunity quickly, if anything, they suppressed that, in my opinion.” Schools have found crafty ways to be Title IX compliant, while remaining unequitable. Colleges are required to have about the same gender ratio among student athletes as they do in total enrollment. This process can be abused, as long-distance runners can be counted three times if they compete in cross county and indoor and outdoor track. Sports like football, where there’s no gender-equivalent sport but where there are large teams, can lead to fewer less-profitable sports programs for men. Financial burdens also can justify cutting a program; during COVID, 460 college sports programs were cut nationwide citing lost revenue due to COVID, and Title IX has helped getting some of them reinstated, Bloomberg reported. There’s an understanding that the NCAA is biased toward men’s football and basketball, the organization's most profitable sports. “There are ways that the universities are tricking the system so they can be in compliance,” SchmidtDevlin said. “Women’s sports is still trying to figure out how to be a profitable business. And I think it’s clearly on the way. Soccer, basketball, tennis, it’s clearly on the way, but still, it’s expensive for the universities.” The many prongs of Title IX Title IX is just 35 words, stating that, “no person in the United States shall, based on sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” It sets out broad guidelines that are still being expanded on. Though Title IX is still guiding women’s collegiate athletics, it’s become less of a focus over the past decade. “It’s really evolved, certainly gender equity in sports and other academic facilities, athletic facilities are still a big part of it, but its primary focus now tends to be on five topical areas: sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating, domestic violence and stalking,” said Alicia Moore, Central Oregon Community College’s Title IX Coordinator. “All the changes that we’ve seen from the Obama administration and the Trump administration all focus on those particular topics.” Those topics are typically addressed in requirements when investigating instances of harassment, assault, domestic violence and stalking. Over 25% of women in college report some form of sexual harassment, assault and misconduct while in college, slightly less than college-aged women not in school but much higher than the 7% reported among men in college. Staff must report any violation they witness to a Title IX coordinator. “My role then is to facilitate the process where we have people who are trained individually to do an investigation of the situation, and then we have folks who are trained to be a hearing officer and decision makers,” Moore said. Title IX can be amended by executive order, and both Donald Trump and Barack Obama made significant changes to the law. Obama first broadened the scope requiring schools to investigate cases of sexual assault and harassment, and Trump expanded its authority to include off-campus incidents. Moore said one way she’d like to see Title IX become more proactive is in increasing resources in staffing and training toward prevention and awareness. She also feels the process is too legalistic, and that Oregon’s existing harassment laws are already stronger than the bar to become a Title IX violation. “In Oregon our sexual harassment laws have a much lower bar, and what we’re finding is when situations come forward is that they definitely violate state level laws,” Moore said.

100 Women Who Care WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 3, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Every quarter, a group of women in Central Oregon raises money for a different cause By Trevor Bradford 100 WWC
Founded in 2006 by Karen Dunigan of Jackson, Michigan in order to raise money rapidly for local charities, the 100 Women Who Care organization now spans across North America and Singapore and is actively assisting multiple local charities receive the goods and services they are in need of. In honor of Women’s History Month, the Source Weekly snagged an interview with Kristin Betschart, the current Leader for the Central Oregon Chapter of 100 Women Who Care. Source Weekly: Can you describe what 100 Woman Who Care for Central Oregon is? Kristin Betschart: We’re basically an organization of ladies in the Central Oregon community that want to support and help out our nonprofit community. It’s strictly just something that’s able to benefit our nonprofit community. SW: What charities does 100 Woman Who Care for Central Oregon donate to? KB: So basically, if you’re a member of 100 Women Who Care—and all that really means is that you’ve made a commitment to write a check each quarter to the voted-upon nonprofit. So, the members that are active in the organization can nominate a nonprofit, so they’re out and about in the community. And they realize, Oh, I see a need here. And so then, once a quarter, we pull three nonprofits out of that pot, whoever’s been nominated. And then those are the three that become voted on, by the whole membership base. SW: One of the first things that your organization donated was baby strollers. What are some other products that your organization donates here in Central Oregon? KB: Basically, if a nonprofit is nominated, they come to us with a presentation and they’ll say, “If we are awarded the funds, here’s what we’re going to use them for.” So, for instance, there’s the community shower truck. And you may have heard that they basically go around to homeless areas, and they provide a shower truck where homeless people can come and shower. And so, they came to us and said, our shower truck is needing some repairs, it needs to be replaced. We’d like to donate this shower truck to a community that doesn’t have one at all. And we’d like to upgrade ours. So that gave us a real visual of where our money would be going. So, it’s every organization kind of has their own needs. SW: On the organization’s website, it says that the first 100 woman

donated $100 each. Is that still a thing? The $100 checks? KB: Basically, that is the motto. So generally, the way it works is once a quarter, you come to a meeting in person, you vote on whoever or whatev-
base that we want to bring in. There’s a lot of new people to Central Oregon that maybe don’t know about us. And then there’s also the next generation of people that we want to start bringing into 100 Women Who Care.
“We’re basically an organization of ladies in the Central Oregon community that want to support and help out our nonprofit community. It’s strictly just something that’s able to benefit our nonprofit community.”
Dagne Harris
Senior, Redmond High School “Sports have taught me countless life lessons. I honestly don’t think I would be who I am today at all if I didn’t learn how to compete, be fair, work hard, push past boundaries, and exceed limits. Sports have taught me to work hard at everything I do and be a leader. I am a leader, I’m competitive and I work really hard because of sports.”
-KRISTIN BETSCHART er organization is at that meeting, you write that organization a check for $100 and then we collect from those that aren’t able to be in the room. And basically, some people write more than $100. We usually average about $20,000 per quarter, which is what we’re donating out to the community. SW: Could you tell me some goals the Central Oregon chapter is currently working on? KB: We have three main goals. One of our main goals is to continue to learn about more nonprofits in the area. And then our second main goal is to get back to in-person meetings— we haven’t been in person since when COVID hit in March 2020. And then, we really want to maintain our current membership, we’ve got a really strong
SW: That leads into my next question, how many women are in the Central Oregon chapter? KB: Here in Central Oregon, our membership wavers between 100 to 200. So, we have about over 100 active members. SW: What’s something you think Central Oregonians should know about your organization? KB: Just that we’re here. We don’t have a big billboard, we don’t have a big way to communicate and let people know that we’re here. That’s our main motto—is just finding ways to help our community and doing it in a simple way that’s not complicated. For more information on the organization visit 100wwcco.com.
Marin Montagne
Senior, Bend Senior High School “It has given me a lot of outlets, friendship wise. All my best friends are volleyball players. I love all of them. I am really excited to go to college and do that, too, knowing that I have all those connections already. I think it’s really great being able to play a sport that you love with your friends.”

Teaching Girls the Dirt
Girls AllRide expands on the mountain-biking opportunities offered to women through Ladies AllRide WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 3, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE
12
By Nicole Vulcan Mountain bikers in the region may already be familiar with Ladies AllRide, the mountain bike skills camps that bring people identifying as women together to learn skills and revel in the love of cycling in the dirt. Now, the circle is expanding with the addition of Girls AllRide, offering up opportunities for the younger generation to ride and learn. I chatted with Liz Arollo, program coordinator and coach of Girls AllRide about the new programming. Source Weekly: Explain what Girls AllRide is, and where we can see its programming happening – just in Central Oregon or elsewhere, too? Liz Arollo: Girls AllRide has a mission to use mountain biking as a platform for youth to discover potential, build community and strengthen themselves—inside and out. The main goal is to help girls develop their mountain biking skills and have fun, but we also want to teach them how to face fears, believe in themselves and think positively. We will integrate the same Ladies AllRide coaching philosophy where we relate mountain biking to life while making it fun and educational. We are passionate about helping the younger generation feel empowered and discover that they are capable of more than they thought possible! For the 2022 season we are only holding Girls AllRide camps in Bend. We do hope to offer the camps in other areas of Central Oregon and out of state with the Ladies AllRide Camps as we grow our program. SW: What’s an ideal age for the typical girl who already knows how to ride a bike to start mountain biking?

Girls take part in a mountain biking camp during the summer of 2021.

Abortion Access: What’s at Stake A bill that would have protected women’s rights to abortion just failed in the Senate. Here’s what else you need to know.
In late 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court began oral arguments in a Mississippi abortion-restriction case, in which that state essentially asked the court to overturn women’s constitutional right to abortion that was clarified through Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on that case by summer 2022— and if Mississippi gets its way, women’s right to abortion will depend on the state in which you live. Some states, like Oregon, have abortion protections in place at the state level; other states, like Idaho, have “trigger” laws in place that would instantly ban abortion in their states should Roe be overturned. Here’s a primer on some of the things you need to know: • 80% of Americans wanted abortion to be legal in some form as of 2020, according to a Gallup poll. 35% of Republicans support abortion rights, according to a Pew Research poll.
our patients in Central Oregon,” said Joanna DennisCook, Bend Health Center manager. “We are training staff to really be prepared, so we can build our capacity for this moment.”
• 36 million people would lose access to abortion if Roe is overturned. 75% of abortion patients are low-income, with 49% living below the federal poverty level.
• A study by The Guttmacher Institute found health centers in Oregon could experience a 234% increase in out-of-state patients (Source: Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon). Oregon’s health centers are already experiencing staffing shortages.
• If the Supreme Court overturns Roe, neighboring Idaho will ban abortion, and their law will mimic Texas’, encouraging residents to spy on each other in exchange for cash rewards. • Those seeking abortions in Idaho will need to go to other states to get one—which means the Bend Health Center will become the nearest abortion clinic for many eastern Oregonians as well as Idahoans. “We want to have the ability to be there for our out-ofstate neighbors, while continuing to meet the needs of
• The Women’s Health Protection Act, which would prohibit states from putting abortion bans in place, passed the U.S. House in 2021. Oregon Rep. Cliff Bentz—who represents the eastern half of the state, including Central Oregon—voted against. This week, it failed in the U.S. Senate. Oregon’s two senators— Sen. Jeff Merkley and Sen. Ron Wyden—voted in favor of opening up debate on the issue, but Republicans opposed it and filibustered it.
environment to progress mountain biking skills as well as focus on building self-confidence. We do this through journaling and lessons from the book, “The Confidence Code for Girls,” to gain the mental tools and to embrace their authentic self. SW: What bike skills should they already have? LA: They should know how to start and stop on dirt or gravel roads without assistance and enjoy the challenge of riding on easy single or double-track terrain. SW: How can families help their girls prepare? LA: Families can help their girls prepare by getting them familiar with riding on a bike on pavement first and once they are comfortable, have them get used to riding on dirt or gravel next. Take breaks as needed, have lots of snacks and make time for exploring in nature. SW: What has mountain biking brought to the lives of the people behind Girls AllRide? LA: Mountain biking has taught me so much about myself and what I am capable of. Mountain biking has provided us with a community of like-minded people who are not only passionate about mountain biking but are also dedicated to building a supportive community. SW: How can people get involved as either participants or volunteers or otherwise? LA: Let us know if you’d like to be involved by emailing us at: girls@ladiesallride.com To register as a participant visit our website: https://ladiesallride.com/girls-allride

“Sports have meant a lot to me throughout my life, especially watching my older brother play soccer growing up. It’s opened up many doors, and it’s given me new things to explore in life. Without sports, my life wouldn’t be the same, especially with my competitiveness and athleticism.”

Volcanic is Grateful for Grant
Financial support of independent venues is crucial for their survival By Isaac Biehl
On Feb. 23 the Live Music Society announced its 18 spring recipients for the nonprofit’s small music venue grants program. Spanning the country, recipients have venues based everywhere from Flint, Michigan, to Washington, D.C., and in Bend at the Volcanic Theatre Pub. These individual grants range between $10,000 to $50,000. To be considered a small venue you must have a capacity of only 50 to 300 people, including before COVID restrictions were in place. Since becoming a nonprofit in 2020, the Live Music Society has assisted with funding 126 different venues in 34 different states, totaling over $2.3 million in grant money. “We are encouraged by a new sense of optimism as COVID restrictions ease, but conscious of the recent surge’s impact on venues that continue to face canceled performances and attendance below prior levels. We are committed to creating programs that assist venues as they recover from the pandemic,” said LMS board member Adam Fell. LMS was formed at a time when independent venues needed the community’s help the most, but as Fell notes, these spaces for theater, music and more will continue to need help as they make the climb back from having to shut their doors for so long. Even once communities feel like the pandemic is over, supporting these organizations will still be a high priority. This extra support now is something the Volcanic Theatre
Pub (the first Oregon-based venue to receive an LMS grant so far) is truly appreciative about. “We are so honored and grateful to be one of the Live Music Society's grantees for Spring 2022. These grants are carefully chosen for independent venues across the United States. After a thorough application and interview process, we are so lucky to be one of the 18 venues to receive a grant,” says VTP owner Derek Sitter. Not only will the grant money help the recovery from canceling shows in the past, but it will help VTP and other venues that received grants be able to stay prepared for the future when touring en masse becomes normal again. “The grant money will help us recover from the cancellations and closures during the Delta and Omicron variant. More importantly, it'll help us navigate through late spring and summer when events begin to slow down for indoor venues with hopes things will return to a more normal touring season in the fall,” added Sitter. “The Live Music Society not only awards grants to struggling venues, they really support and respect the significance and vitality of small venues across America. Live Music Society truly understands the value of venues like Volcanic and what we all offer to our communities. We're very lucky to have organizations like LMS on our side.” If you want to support venues of this size to make

sure they flourish beyond grants, the best way to do so is to buy tickets to their shows.

In order to fully break from the conventional mold and create something new, we plan to pause for self-reflection and community connection. We are still committed to celebrating the work and amplifying the voices of change makers in our local community and beyond. Our MUSE Clubs and MUSE Maker Program will allow us to continue our mission while re-imagining what future community events could look like. Thank you to the many presenters, volunteers, crew members, and attendees who have been a part of MUSE Conference + UnConference for the past ten years.

Where Art & Activism Meet ART EXHIBIT
Opening + Artist Talk with April Bey at Scalehouse Gallery 5:30-6:30pm ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
April Bey
is featured in the exhibit we are co-hosting with Scalehouse Arts. Bey grew up in The Bahamas (New Providence) and now resides and works in Los Angeles, CA as a visual artist and art educator. Her interdisciplinary artwork is an introspective and social critique of American and Bahamian culture, contemporary pop culture, feminism, generational theory, social media, AfroFuturism, AfroSurrealism, post-colonialism and constructs of race within supremacist systems. ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Sadie Barnette
is featured in the exhibit we are co-hosting with Scalehouse Arts. Barnette’s multimedia practice illuminates her own family history as it mirrors a collective history of repression and resistance in the United States. The last born of the last born, and hence the youngest of her generation, Barnette holds a long and deep fascination with the personal and political value of kin. Recent projects include the reclamation of a 500-page FBI surveillance file amassed on her father during his time with the Black Panther Party and her interactive reimagining of his bar — San Francisco’s first Black-owned gay bar.

Dr. Angela Davis
will be joining us in a virtual conversation with artist Sadie Barnette and local activist Judith Sadora.Through her activism and scholarship over the last decades, Angela Davis has been deeply involved in our nation’s quest for social justice. Her work as an educator – both at the university level and in the larger public sphere – has always emphasized the importance of building communities of struggle for economic, racial, and gender justice. Professor Davis’ teaching career has taken her to San Francisco State University, Mills College, and UC Berkeley. She also has taught at UCLA, Vassar, the Claremont Colleges, and Stanford University. She spent the last fifteen years at the University of California, Santa Cruz where she is now Distinguished Professor Emerita of History of Consciousness, an interdisciplinary Ph.D program, and of Feminist Studies.
PRESENTER SPOTLIGHT
Jaylyn Suppah
will be sharing her work with Papalaxsimisha. Jaylyn is a mother, educator, advocate for social justice and a member of the Confederated Tribe of Warm Springs (CTWS). She was raised in Simnasho, Oregon and is a traditional food gatherer for her Tribe. She is a mother of two beautiful children. Her Indian name is Alish (Ah-lish) which was given to her from her namesake; Margaret Suppah, her grandmother who raised her. Her passion is decolonizing education for herself, her children, her community, and always looks for ways to incorporate her culture into her home, classroom and programming. She developed the Papalaxsimisha program which incorporates historical trauma, healing, self-identity, cultural awareness, high school readiness, college and career readiness in a curriculum she and two other native teachers developed.

A REFLECTION OF SELF
A Reflection of Self
is the third film we’ve produced in collaboration with Unlocked Films. It amplifies the voices and experiences of our LGBTQIA+ community members and explores what it really means to be free. We will be co-hosting this premier in partnership with OUT Central Oregon as part of their WinterPrideFest Programming.
SPECIAL LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT World MUSE acknowledges that we are settlers on the traditional homelands of the Confederation of the Warm Springs, Wasco and Paiute Native American Tribes. We are all treaty signers, and are thus responsible and accountable for the historical and present day violence that Indigenous people face. Until action is taken to identify and empower Indigenous people, until accurate history is taught, and until land-based justice is carried out, a land acknowledgement statement feels mostly empty and alienating. World Muse has committed to making annual reparations to the Warm Springs Tribal Council as a small but necessary action. We invite you to learn more about whose land we reside on and find ways to take action.

will lead a 7 Generation Prayer Flow Workshop for us to close out weekend. In this integrative yoga class Acosia will use the 7 Generation Philosophy to connect past, present and future. In this class with Acosia, we will move with intention in regards to our body, our health, and our resources, honoring the past, and praying forward for the next 7 generations and beyond. This is a prayerful, breath initiated practice, that connects every action of our life with the intention of moving towards what is sacred, or most important to us. Class will close with a guided timeline clearing meditation. The 7 generation philosophy is derived from the Iroquois Confederacy.

Maker Grant
Program provides support for individuals and projects that inspire
positive social change in our local community. Over the past 10 years, World Muse has contributed over $40,000 to support social change efforts from creative arts education for grieving children, to non-competitive cycling events for young girls, to generating awareness and support for the LGBTQIA+ community and beyond. Our grants allow us to partner with local change-makers who are working to inspire positive social change. Some of our recent grant recipients—The Helpers, The Father’s Group, Papalaxsimisha, Greenhouse Cabaret, and The Cult of Tuck—will be featured during our main program at The Tower Theater.
PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT World Muse created

issues and begin to imagine a better world. Muse Clubs provide middle and high school students with opportunities for connection and reflection, along with creative projects and platforms that allow them to be seen and heard by our community.

Soul Food of Ukraine CHOW The A hearty bowl of borscht during a tumultuous time in history By Ari Levaux Ari Levaux
MEATY OVEN BORSCHT I make this recipe when I want more of a rich stew than a humble soup. Doing the whole thing in the oven heats the house, a nod to the old village, where the cook stove was the center of the action.
Sour cream is a tasty garnish for this dish—but mayo can work, too.
more like the guy on the train. Zelensky, meanwhile, is walking the talk. He is from Ukraine and was chosen by the Ukrainians to lead them. He is a deep bowl of borscht with extra-sour cream, with a dill pickle on the side. By comparing Putin to a tepid plate of Chicken Kiev, I don’t mean any ill will to that lovely, delicious dish. But its history that’s been rewritten countless times to reflect politics. It has a French origin—like Putin’s Napoleonic complex—that began with the Czars developing a taste for French food. These Russian rules imported the necessary talent to instruct Russian chefs. Kyiv, situated between Paris and Moscow, benefitted from this traffic. Kyiv’s Continental Hotel became the nexus for the evolution and development of Chicken Kiev, until it was destroyed during the second world war. The Red Army mined the building as it retreated, and detonated the explosives when the Germans arrived. The Hotel would be rebuilt, and the dish would be renamed by the Bolsheviks so as to strip it of any bourgeois connotation, and was instead called something along the lines of “breaded cutlet with parsley butter.” Fast forward to the present and here we are on the brink of World War III, with a chicken-hawk wandering about Ukraine. Zelensky clearly has a backbone that’s up to the task, strengthened by generations of adversity, and borscht, the chunky soul of Ukraine. The only thing more Ukrainian than borscht is telling the Russians to bounce. I was at the farmers market last Saturday, shopping for borscht materials. A cool thing about borscht is that you can get all of the ingredients you need at the winter market. Beets, onions, carrots, garlic, celery, and even some meat on the bone—if you are feeling rich.
1-plus pounds of meat on the bone (e.g., spare rib or shank) 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 2 lbs beets, trimmed and cut into quarters or 1/8ths 3 stalks celery, minced 3 large carrots, sliced 1 large or several small potatoes, cubed 1 15-oz can of canned tomatoes 4 cloves garlic, chopped or mashed 1 lemon or lime 2 tbsp cider vinegar 2 quarts stock 2 teaspoons salt 2 bay leaves Green herbs like dill for garnish Sour cream and mayo for garnish Turn on the broiler. Put the meat in a lidded baking pan, but without the lid for now, in middle or lower third of the oven, and carefully brown the meat until crispy brown but not burned. Remove the baking pan from the broiler. Put the meat on a plate to cool and add the oil and onions to the hot pan, allowing the onions to start cooking. When the meat is cool enough to work with, cut it off the bone and cube it, and put it back in the baking pan, along with the beets, celery, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, lime, vinegar, stock, salt and bay leaves. Braise at 350 with the lid on for an hour, then remove it from the oven to inspect. Sip the broth, and season with salt and pepper. Add more water if the level has dropped near or below half. Chew the meat and see if it’s soft enough. When the meat is done, remove it from the oven and let it sit for an hour or so before serving. Garnish with herbs, and enough of that white creamy stuff to turn the borscht a bit pink.

ith the invasion happening in real time as I write this, I have no idea how the chips will have fallen by the time you read it. But one thing is clear. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and the nation he leads, are like a hearty bowl of borscht. Vladimir Putin, by contrast, is nothing but a tepid plate of Chicken Kiev. On my desk is a self-published book of memoirs written by my cousin Paul Zavod, who was born in Ukraine, in 1914. My mother’s parents also came from Ukraine, as did my father’s grandparents. Ukraine was a rough place for Jews at that time. Paul’s father was arrested for sneaking to the outhouse after curfew one night. They couldn’t even leave their village without special permission. But the scariest moment, according to Paul’s father, came when a pig escaped from a nearby farm and wandered into the neighborhood. A resident was running a secret, unregistered and highly illegal vodka making operation, and the smell of the alcoholic grain mash had caught the attention of the pig. The mash was hidden in an underground pit that was covered by some old boards. The massive animal broke through the boards and fell into the pit. “Now, drunk as a hoot owl, trying to get out, the pig was bellowing at the top of its lungs,” Paul wrote. “If anyone had reported it, all of us would have been in serious trouble. Luckily we lived in a part of town that was 100% Jewish, and everyone knew what would happen if this became known, so no one even dreamed of reporting it. However, the animal had to be gotten rid of before he woke the rest of the people.” Since they couldn’t get it out, they killed the pig in the pit and covered it with dirt. Luckily, it didn’t occur to anyone to search the Jewish neighborhood for the missing pig, and the mystery was never solved. Ukraine has come a long way since then. It’s now led by a Jewish president, which would have been unthinkable, and is a testament to how far this young democracy has come. Yet in other ways little has changed. Here we are, a century after my family left, but the neighborhood is still being bothered by a drunk, lost pig. Borscht is often celebrated as a Russian dish, but that only holds true if Ukraine is part of Russia, because borscht—and specifically the kind made primarily with beets—comes from Ukraine. If you don’t believe me, ask my mom. Years ago, seven time zones away from Ukraine, in the dining car of a train in Siberia, I ordered a bowl of borscht. It was purple water with slices of hot dogs in it. They billed us not only for the pathetic bowl of soup, but also for the use of the silverware. When we protested the host explained, “mafia,” and made a karate chop motion across his femur. You can’t get much more salt-of-the-land than borscht, and that is the kind of wholesome, earthy image that Putin wants for all of Mother Russia. But he’s acting
FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic Your friendly local film reviewer’s takes on what’s out there in the world of movies. IMDb
WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 3, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE
30
2022 OSCAR NOMINATED SHORTS: ANIMATED:
The first two shorts are for all ages and the following three are most decidedly not, so parents beware, these are very twisted and graphic animated shorts. They’re also all pretty fantastic. Regal Old Mill, Tin Pan Theater
2022 OSCAR NOMINATED SHORTS: DOCUMENTARY: As usual, the documentary block of shorts is
the most brutal of the three, but the one called “The Queen of Basketball” is an inspiring and life-affirming thing of beauty. Tin Pan Theater
2022 OSCAR NOMINATED SHORTS: LIVE ACTION: A
very dark and heavy selection of shorts from around the world. The one with Riz Ahmed is a stone classic. Regal Old Mill, Tin Pan Theater
THE BATMAN: I’ve always wanted a “Batman” movie that felt like “Seven” or “Zodiac,” so count me as excited that we finally get to see the World’s Greatest Detective doing some detecting. This is by far the darkest “Batman” flick ever, so that combined with the three-hour runtime might extend this entry in the forever franchise to adults only. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins BLACKLIGHT: Liam Neeson plays a man with a very special set of skills protecting his daughter and granddaughter from shadowy government agents. Is this a movie we have seen before? Definitely. Will it still be entertaining anyway? Probably. Regal Old Mill CURSED: Werewolf movies are awesome and this
movie looks like a blast reminiscent of “Sleepy Hollow” and “Brotherhood of the Wolf.” Way too excited for this one. Regal Old Mill
CYRANO: From the director of “Atonement” comes this new adaptation of the beloved story. Advanced praise has been great for this, so here’s hoping it’s at least as good as the eternally awesome “Roxanne.” Sisters Movie House DEATH ON THE NILE: Following Kenneth Branagh’s
Belgian detective Hercule Poirot from the Orient Express to Egypt as he tries to solve another murder mystery. This is one of the last pandemic-delayed films to finally get its release, several years now after its filming. It’s been so long since this was shot that star Armie Hammer has been canceled for over a year already. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub
DOG: Why yes, I would like to see Channing Tatum play with a dog for two hours, thank you very much. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House DRIVE MY CAR: I’m calling it right now: this will win the 2022 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. I’ll show my work: Murakami (author of the short story this is based on) is one of the finest novelists of the last 100 years and director Ryusuke Hamaguchi is one of the very best modern Japanese filmmakers and the film is about an adaptation of Chekhov’s masterpiece “Uncle Vanya.” 1+1+1= flawless. Tin Pan Theater
FAYA DAYI: I’m genuinely shocked this masterpiece
from director Jessica Beshir wasn’t nominated for Best Documentary and Best International Feature. This is a documentary/feature hybrid set in Ethiopia and focused on the drug khat and how it’s used for religious and monetary purposes. A hypnotizing and unforgettable look at a culture we don’t often get to see. Tin Pan Theater
FLEE: An animated Danish documentary hybrid following a man on the eve of marrying his husband who recounts his escape from Afghanistan to Denmark as a refugee. Up for multiple Oscars, this is a powerful and gorgeous look at one man’s hunt for freedom. Tin Pan Theater JACKASS FOREVER: I know, it’s all very dumb and juvenile, but I’m there for absolutely every second of it. Johnny Knoxville and his friends destroy themselves physically and mentally for us on camera so we can go into the theater and feel some catharsis for 90 minutes. Regal Old Mill MARRY ME: It seems like it’s been forever since
there has been a great romantic comedy and “Marry Me” drops just in time for Valentine’s Day with the already charming-as-hell cast of Owen Wilson, J.Lo and Sarah Silverman. I found this delightful. Regal Old Mill
MOONFALL: The moon is crashing toward Earth and the only people who can stop them are astronauts Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson and Samwell Tarly. This is going to be big, dumb and beautiful…just like me. Regal Old Mill PARALLEL MOTHERS: A new film from Pedro Almodovar is a cause to rejoice and with an all-time great performance from Penelope Cruz, “Parallel Mothers” is easily his best since “Volver.” Tin Pan Theater SCREAM: Another horror reboot comes our way from the franchise that probably deserves it the most. The “Scream” series has always done a great job balancing meta-humor and horror and this new entry gives more of the same. Regal Old Mill SING 2: Is…is that a porcupine singing U2? Regal Old Mill
SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME: I wonder if I’ll ever get bored with “Spider-Man” movies. Based on how much I loved this one, all signs point to no. Regal Old Mill STUDIO 666: The Foo Fighters move into a haunted house to record their new album and Dave Grohl gets possessed by a black-eyed demon. This looks like goofy and gory fun, but also like a “Scooby Doo” adventure meets “Pick of Destiny.” All the good things. Regal Old Mill UNCHARTED: What if Tom Hanks from “The DaVinci Code” murdered people and was good at climbing? Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins
May the Source Be With You SC SCREEN March edition: Small towns, Always Sunny and family recipes By Jared Rasic
The excellent Alan Ritchson will kick your ass and save your life at the same time in Amazon’s “Reacher.”
Another very comforting podcast is “My Family Recipe,” Arati Menon’s lovely look at how important generational recipes can be for families and how therapeutic they can be when trying to reconnect with
those that we’ve lost. The podcast is just over a month old and has already been added to my weekly list of unmissables with its genuinely heartwarming content. Now Streaming Imagine a show similar to “Lost,” but instead of an island and a yelling Matthew Fox, we’ve got a small town and a yelling Harold Perrineau and you’ve got “From,” the very creepy new show from Epix. Everyone in this town is trapped there, with all roads circling back to the same few blocks of dilapidated downtown and at night the dead knock on the doors, asking to be let in. The show feels like a very spooky episode of “The Twilight Zone” that just keeps going, adding depth to the world and characters while building tension to almost unbearable levels. The mystery at the center of the show is fascinating, so hopefully the writers of the show know where all of this is heading. The season finale of “Euphoria” completely destroyed me, so now that that extremely depressing soap opera is over, I’m filling that slot with something a little happier. “Reacher” (currently on Amazon Prime) is the ultimate dad show featuring a giant man who beats people with his massive fists and brilliant mind and it’s just goofy enough to be exciting without being too intense for people looking for just a little popcorn entertainment. But seriously, is anyone really interested in another season of “Euphoria” after that finale? That was rough.

ere we are, in the midst of a lovely false spring and the skies are clear, the sun is warm and nothing could possibly go wrong. What’s that you say? Russia is acting squirrelly? Yeah, that makes sense, only in the roaring ‘20s would we follow up a planet-wide pandemic with a possible world war. As usual, here in the U.S. we have so much media to explore that we can choose the level of our knowledge and involvement and I’m hovering right around “as much as I can handle without losing it” because I’ve been a little exhausted lately living through so much history. Here are a few of the things I’ve been enjoying recently to take my mind off of the dumpster fire of life. In Pod We Trust: I’ve been absolutely loving the new “The Always Sunny Podcast,” which not only has a weekly episode to listen to on YouTube, but has also been filming the last five or six episodes as well. Each episode does a deep dive into a single episode. Mac, Dennis and Charlie break down their memories of making the show, but mostly just go off on tangents very loosely related to the former TV show. The recent episode where they break down, “The Gang Finds a Dumpster Baby” is a fascinating look at how the team made a classic episode at the beginning of season three when they thought they probably wouldn’t last much longer than season four.

ebecca Hynes is a filmmaker and agency producer. Her list of credits includes print and film media with clients as big as Nike, Mastercraft and Eddie Bauer, but her real love is the short film documentary, where she is able to use her multi-faceted skill set to create a more powerful and intimate experience. As a film producer, Hynes coordinates most of the various aspects of the project including location selection, coordination of writing, directing, filming and editing, as well as the financing scope of the film and final delivery. “In production there is a constant need for firefighting. We are masters of suppression of issues that develop during a project,” says Hynes. “Many producers are seen as being a fixer. Our main job is to smooth out the rough spots often found behind the scenes of production.” Pursuing journalism in college was influenced from her childhood experiences. “I always had land around me, calling to me to explore and wander,” she recalls. The nuances of nature, including the forests and animals, compelled her to explore deeper. Her adventurous spirit was further fueled while volunteering for an outdoor school. “I had a great mentor in exploration of the technical side of the outdoors,” she says. From whitewater rafting, backpacking and rock climbing, Hynes grew to appreciate, love and pursue a life in the outdoors. “I was also very drawn to the images and stories of sport, especially during the Olympics,” says Hynes. After graduation she moved to Portland, Oregon, where she landed an internship as a production assistant, and after years of juggling three jobs to makes ends meet, she embarked on a career in branded media as a producer. “When I first started in production, people would often speak of how well I can stay calm during the production storm. Living and working in the outdoor environment, especially while I was guiding whitewater in New Zealand, really raised the bar in terms of what is serious and what constitutes an actual emergency,” she says. “When you are dealing with corporate financing—big money, there is inherent stress, but it’s just time and money,” Hynes says. “Dealing with a high-water rescue, lightning storms or other potentially life-threatening situations has substantially more risk than losing a day of filming.” In finding balance between being an artist and producer, Hynes turned to making short documentary-style films. Small projects with little to no budget or constraint, she tapped into the magic of human interaction and the outdoors. With films like “Rodeo Dog,” and “River Looters,” (the latter filmed and produced in Bend, covering the team that dives into the Deschutes for treasures), Hynes found a balance between work and life. “As a producer I don’t touch the camera at all,” she said. “It’s more big-picture. With ‘River Looters’ I did it all—location, script, shot, edit, color production and only had some help with audio,” she waxes. “I absolutely love lowering the stress-bar with love projects; ones that I can tackle in a

few days instead of several months,” says Hynes. For example, during this year’s Vert Fest at Mt. Bachelor, Hynes did all the camera work and editing, with a 36-hour turnaround for the annual backcountry fundraising event. “Big ticket productions are much more compartmentalized, refined and mature, but my heart is not always leading the way,” Hynes said. “Small projects allow me to capture the spirit of the day.” With "River Looters," which premiered against some heavy hitters at the MountainFilm festival, her little project proved her point. “Showing my film at Telluride was the culmination of my career, and was my childhood dream,” she said. With fewer than 10% films at MountainFilm being made by independents and not covered by corporate budgets, her inclusion was a high water mark. Additionally, of those 150 films “only a handful were produced by women,” she says. “Being an advocate for women and film, and to represent both is an amazing honor.” Hynes is a collaborator, a true leader who can manage her overall vision with the realities of group dynamics and the sometimes-differing opinions of directors, producers, filmmakers, and actors. “As a female film producer in an insanely male-dominated industry, I feel honored to be able to create and produce,” says Hynes. Another strength, she said, is never losing sight of the efforts of assistants and interns. “It’s a tough job and having worked from the bottom up, I always take time to talk with staff (at all levels) and check in. I don’t buy into the fact there is a caste system eg., director, PA, camera person…I think everyone is important and integral to the success of the project,” she states emphatically. Asked about future projects, Hynes says, “I have always wanted to do a long-term project surrounding animals. From dogs to gorillas, I don’t really know, but OMG you look in the eyes of (a primate) and see their intelligence…WOW,” she exclaims. “And since I’ve never done a long-term/feature length documentary, I have an idea on an action sports feature showing learning progression from introduction of a craft to perfecting it. Imagine watching kids find their sport, and watching them propel into their future.”
Rock climbing is a popular extreme sport that is enjoyed by all walks of life across the globe. Lizzy Van Patten, climbing enthusiast and founder of She Moves Mountains, has been on a mission to increase diversity in the climbing sport by introducing people who identify as women (cis/trans), or girls to the high-scaling action sport. With years of experience and knowledge under her belt from her time spent climbing in the U.S. and Patagonia, “(Patten) started She Moves Mountains as a means to confront the lack of female presence in the climbing and professional guiding world,” this event description describes. On March 31 from 6-8pm, women (cis/trans) and girls of all ages and skill sets are welcomed to join Patten at the Bend Rock Gym in order to learn more about outdoor climbing through a series of mini classes that cover how to read a guidebook and how to build and assess anchors using the acronym “EARNEST.” “Whether your goal is to try rock climbing for the very first time, have an exciting day exploring a new area, or to learn mental techniques to push yourself while on lead - Lizzy will make sure to cater your climbing day to meet your goals,” says the event description. This in-person event is donation-based with recommended donations being between $5 and $30 per ticket.

Bar Fiori’s Wine-Music
Pairings Seek to Turn Tables Natural wines find their supernatural songs by the glass By Brian Yaeger
Bar Fiori is not a bar. For that matter, it’s not a flower either, but it does offer a bouquet of colorful, natural wines. It’s a business project started by Bendite Kelsey Kuther, who got turned onto the vibrant world of natural wines in, of all places, Los Angeles. For the moment, Bar Fiori is a pandemic-inspired service specializing in pop-ups, private tastings and delivery (until the right retail space surfaces). Kuther is also an insatiable record collector. Ask him what pairs best with a Pinot Noir, or his favorite Chenin Blanc, and he won’t respond with artisanal cheeses or any sort of Spanish tapas, but with music. “I’m not gonna say how a wine tastes like blueberries or minerals. That’s the last thing I’ll do,” says Kuther. Instead, Kuther takes a sip and in lieu of poaching tasting notes, pursues the humanity in each bottle or glass. When it comes to natural wines—wines made with the least amount of interference and the maximum amount of admiration and protection of Mother Nature, “People are expressing their personality and also respecting the earth. That’s the foundation of natural wine.” Bar Fiori’s website projects pairings such as a Beaujolais with The Beastie Boys and, when you wanna love someone tender, a rosè with sentimental Elvis tunes. But when put on the spot, Kuther, who picked up guitar at age 11, often turns to jazz. He popped a bottle of an orange wine called Müller? That’s not a question: it’s a skin-contact wine made with white Germanic Muller Thurgau grapes grown in Yamhill for the Portland winery Golden Cluster. Besides referencing if Ferris Bueller is in attendance, to me the wine tastes like a velvety smooth, almost chalky wine redolent of unripe guava or papaya. But to Kuther, who sells the last remaining bottles of this 2020 vintage for $32, it’s “exciting, alive, less inhibited.” I ask what his musical accompaniment is. “I feel like it’s expanding into a more experimental jazz world. It has a steady groove. More nuanced. What comes to mind right now is ‘Red Barron’ by Billy Cobham.” I ask Kuther to queue up the composition. Just as you hear new chords introduced, new flavors emerge on sip four that weren’t perceptible at first. “It’s got these flourishes of weird synthesizers and it’s a bit challenging,” notes Kuther. “I’m still learning Oregon wines.” Kuther cut his vinous teeth at a restaurant called All Time in L.A.’s Boho hood of Los Feliz. ”
Brian Yaeger
Bar Fiori founder Kelsey Kuther
We uncorked another bottle, Clos du Tue-Bœuf, a Gamay from Kuther’s favorite, France’s Loire Valley. Yeah, he referred to the wine in old-school wine terms like “structured” and “balanced,” but once back to the realm of music, he personified it as Ry Cooder. Specifically, he pointed to Cooder’s Grammy-winning, post-Buena Vista Social Club collaboration with Manual Galbán, Mambo Sinuendo. The music is Cuban, the wine is French, but the compositions are what Kuther called “percussive, loungy, 60’s surf-vibe.” Asking Kuther to find his selected wine’s musical accompaniments was a fun parlor trick so I set my iTunes to random and asked him to vinify the tracks. First up, the title track to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ “Into the Great Wide Open.” Kuther picked Chilean winemaker Pedro Parra, as both display “easy character but kinda dry. What I call front porch wine.” Next was legendary poet Shel Silverstein’s spoken word piece, “Good Night Little House Plant” that evoked orange wines from Sicilian winemaker Elios due to its “jovial levity but also sincerity.” Then came Solomon Burke’s “Get Out of My Life Woman” which was likened to a Chasselas Blanc by Vin de Pardee for its “viscous, shimmery, pithy refreshing elements.” Finally, because those musicians have all passed, I cherry-picked a new band, Måneskin, the glam-rock band from Italy. Kutcher married them with the above Vin Rouge, Clos du TueBœuf, instead of a more obvious Italian vino because that would’ve been “so linear and boring.” Bar Fiori

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries author Isak Dinesen defined “true piety” as “loving one’s destiny unconditionally.” That’s a worthy goal for you to aspire to in the coming weeks. I hope you will summon your deepest reserves of ingenuity and imagination as you cultivate a state of mind in which you adore your life just as it is. You won’t compare it negatively to anyone else’s fate, and you won’t wish it were different from what it actually is. Instead, you will be pleased and at peace with the truth of exactly who you are right now.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As author Mary Ruefle points out, “In the beginning, William Shakespeare was a baby, and knew absolutely nothing. He couldn’t even speak.” And yet eventually, he became a literary superstar—among history’s greatest authors. What happened in between? I’m not exaggerating when I attribute part of the transformation to magic. Vast amounts of hard work and help and luck were involved, too. But to change from a wordless, uncoordinated sprout to a potent, influential maestro, Taurus-born Shakespeare had to be the beneficiary of mysterious powers. I bring this up, Taurus, because I think you will have access to comparable mojo during the next four weeks. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As talented and financially successful as Kanye West is, the Gemini singer-songwriter experiences a lot of emotional suffering. But no one lives an ideal life, right? And we can learn from everyone. In any case, I’ve chosen quotes by Kanye that are in rapt alignment with your astrological omens. Here they are: 1. “I’m in pursuit of awesomeness; excellence is the bare minimum.” 2. “You’re not perfect, but you’re not your mistakes.” 3. “I’m not comfortable with comfort. I’m only comfortable when I’m in a place where I’m constantly learning and growing.” 4. “Everything I’m not makes me everything I am.” CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Any real ecstasy is a sign you are moving in the right direction,” wrote philosopher Saint Teresa of Avila, who was renowned for her euphoric spiritual experiences. So is there any such thing as “fake ecstasy,” as she implies? Maybe fake ecstasy would be perverse bliss at the misfortune of an enemy, or the trivial joy that comes from realizing your house keys aren’t missing. Real ecstasy, on the other hand, might arise from a visceral sense of the presence of God, or the rapture that emerges as you make love with a person you care for, or the elation you feel when you commune with your favorite animal. Anyway, Cancerian, I predict that in the coming days, you will have an extra rich potential for the real kinds of rhapsodic delight and enchantment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo actor Jennifer Lawrence portrayed a rugged, fierce, resourceful champion in The Hunger Games film trilogy. In real life, however, she has few resemblances to that stalwart hero. “I have the street smarts and survival skills of a poodle,” she has confessed. But I’ve got potentially good news for her and all the rest of you Leos. The coming months will be a favorable time for you to cultivate the qualities of a rugged, fierce, resourceful champion. And right now would be an excellent time to launch your efforts.
and brutality and shame and resentment.” Fowles goes on to say that he will offer generosity and gentleness and no-shame and forgiveness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A blogger named MysteryOfWhat expressed appreciation for her errors and wrong turns. “I love all my mistakes!” she exclaimed. “I had fun!” She has a theory that she would not have been able to completely fulfill her interesting destiny without her blunders and her brilliant adjustments to those blunders. I won’t encourage you to be quite so boisterously unconditional in celebrating your fumbles and miscues, Libra. My inclination is to urge you to honor them and feel grateful for them, but I’m not sure I should advise you to shout out, “I love all my mistakes! I had fun!” But what do you think? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Norman MacCaig wrote, “Ask me, go on, ask me to do something impossible, something freakishly useless, something unimaginable and inimitable like making a finger break into blossom or walking for half an hour in twenty minutes or remembering tomorrow.” I hope people say things like that to you soon, Scorpio. I hope allies playfully nudge you to stretch your limits, expand your consciousness, and experiment on the frontier. To encourage such a development, you could do the same for your beloved allies: nudge them to stretch their limits, expand their consciousness, and experiment on the frontier. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Look at your body not as a source of physical attraction but as a shrine,” wrote teacher Sobonfu Somé. Personally, I have no problem if you regard your body as a source of physical attraction—as a gorgeous, radiant expression of your life energy, worthy of inspiring the appreciation of others. But I agree with Somé that you should also treat your body as a sacred sanctuary deserving of your reverence—especially now. Please boost your intention to provide your beloved organism with all the tender care it needs and warrants.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It’s surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. Yes! I agree. And by providing you with this heads-up from her, I’m hoping that the subtly potent events unfolding for you in the coming weeks will not go unnoticed. I’m hoping you will be alert for seemingly small but in fact crucial developments—and thereby give them all the focus and intelligence they deserve. Later, you’ll remember this delicately pivotal time with amazed gratitude. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What’s more important: to learn or to unlearn? The answer, of course, is they are equally important. But sometimes, the most crucial preparation for a new learning phase is to initiate a surge of unlearning. That’s what I’m recommending for you right now. I foresee you embarking on a series of extravagant educational experiences in a couple of weeks. And the best way to ensure you take maximum advantage of the available lessons is by dumping useless knowledge and irrelevant information and numbing habits.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Each of us period-

ically has to deal with conflict. There come times when we must face the fact that a specific situation in our lives isn’t working well and needs to be adjusted, fixed, or transformed. We might prefer to pretend the problem doesn’t exist. We may be inclined to endure the stressful discomfort rather than engage with its causes. But such an approach won’t be right for you in the coming days, dear Virgo. For the sake of your mental and spiritual health, you have a sacred duty to bravely risk a struggle to improve things. I’ll provide you with advice from novelist John Fowles. He said, “I must fight with my weapons. Not his. Not selfishness
records. She approaches her craft with diligence and intensity. On one occasion, she was frying a burger at her boyfriend’s house when she sensed a new song forming in her imagination. Abandoning the stove, she ran into the next room to grab pen and paper. Soon she had transcribed the beginning of a melody and lyrics. In the meantime, though, the kitchen caught on fire. Luckily, she doused it. Later Jill testified, “His cabinets were charred, and he was furious. But it was worth it for a song.” I don’t think you’ll have to make as big a sacrifice as hers in the coming days, Pisces. But you should respond robustly whenever inspiration arrives.

Grille Cheese Heavy Settle Female, 25, straight, single, and I’m a guy who falls into relation-
You’re far from alone. People will insist they’re highly “discriminating” in choosing partners -- and then move in with somebody on the third date. They, of course, portray this as the height of romance -- when it’s really the height of “Hello?! You barely know this person...were you dropped on your head as a baby?” We humans have a powerful longing to be in a long-term love thing, and probably because of that, we’re far less choosy about romantic partners than we believe we are -- at every stage of a relationship. Social psychologist Samantha Joel finds we have a GO! GO! GO! bias in romantic relationships: a strong tendency to make decisions that move a relationship forward -- from the first night we meet our soon-to-be beloved to the 615th time they go all human nightmare on us. People find all sorts of reasons to stay when every molecule of sense they have is screaming “FLEE!” Being in love is, obviously, a biggie, as is fear of being single (and the stigma that can go along). Breakups also become “logistically difficult” when partners’ lives become “intertwined,” through marriage, moving in together, or merging their groups of friends. In the early stages, take it slow -- and sober. Meet for coffee for an hour, and have someplace to be afterward (and actually stick to that and vamoose). Avoid marathon calls and texts. When you’re into somebody, see whether they’re a good fit by holding them up to your standards for a partner. All your standards. Don’t just check the “she’s hot” box and crumple up the list. Finally, in a world where we all experience harsh challenges every day, like the Uber driver arriving five minutes late, it’s easier than ever for people to contain their worst qualities. It might take you a year to know someone’s true character. This suggests it’s wise to hold off on “entwinements” (like sharing a pad) till you’ve seen enough to answer the unfun questions, such as, “Hmm...what’s the likelihood I’ll end up emotionally and financially eviscerated and then dumped in a ditch to be picked apart by buzzards?” lko

There’s this notion (held by some men as well as some feminists) that men and women are just people with different funparts and “What men want, women want.” Um, no. Note that you never hear dudes complaining to the bros, “Eew! So gross!” about getting unsolicited boob pics -- first, because they never get them, but if they did, it’d be like they caught the boobie leprechaun with the pot of nymphomaniac hotties at the end of the cul-de-sac. Women seeking a relationship tend to be turned off by the conspicuous display of abs (versus a guy “inconspicuously” showing he’s fit), and the display of the sick-expensive car is likewise a fail. Social psychologist Jill M. Sundie and her colleagues find a man’s motivation to engage in “conspicuous consumption” -- flashy, wastefully extravagant displays of wealth -- is triggered by “short-term mating goals.” In plain English: “Yeah, he wants a lasting relationship -- lasting from about 3 a.m. to sunup.” Women read this signal loud and clear -- which is why you boyfriend-seeking ladies are “grossed out.” Guys will counter, “But wait...women like men with money!” Well, yeah, but there’s some nuance to that. Women seeking more than a three-hour sex tour are primed by evolution to find a man who’ll “invest” -- and not just in his “baby” (aka his 911 Turbo S): “Dylan, buddy, I know you need your tumor removed, but Daddy’s rims are almost six months old!” By the way, these flashy car pics could even be a fail for a guy hoping to target the hookuperellas on an app, because they often signal he’s a liar. Twenty-two years old and ab-splayed across the hood of a Ferrari? The ladies know exactly what to look for. Yep...just zoom in on the photo for the clip-on bow tie and balled-up polyester valet vest -- right behind the back wheel of LeBron’s car.

looking for a boyfriend on dating apps, as are my female friends. We’re all wondering what’s with these guys who post profile photos of themselves lying across the hood of a Lamborghini with their ridiculous greased abs on display. It’s like the opposite of cool; it’s immature and ostentatious and clueless and tacky. Seriously, is there reasoning behind this behavior? My friends all agree it’s a major turnoff. —Grossed Out

So You Want to Own a Farm?
Tips to consider before purchasing agricultural land (Part 2 of 2) If a home is already located on the property you are considering, there are additional restrictions that may prohibit any other residential structure on the property, including an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU. Also, some people may assume that a tract of agricultural land can be subdivided, but once again, protection of resource land will either significantly limit or prevent division of the property. Be sure to consult with a land use attorney to get a clear understanding of development limitations on the property. Agricultural structures such as barns are typically allowed, but even exempt structures must obtain a written statement of exemption from the local jurisdiction. In addition to permitting requirements for structures on a farm property, be sure to consider use regulations. Some owners of agricultural land have discovered (the hard way) that opening up the property for commercial uses, such as for weddings, overnight guests—even pitching tents or yurts, weddings, horseback riding, llama farms and other similar venues, requires local review and permitting. Common issues that are considered in reviewing a request for commercial-type uses include availability of parking, adequacy of access, traffic/ transportation impacts, noise impacts and septic capacity. If surrounding properties are in active farm use, nonfarm uses may be considered disruptive. With a little bit of homework before buying agricultural property in Central Oregon, you can be one step closer to the dream of owning a farm or ranch!
VOLUME 26 ISSUE 09 / MARCH 3, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY
Three weeks ago, in Part 1 of this series, I addressed tax, water, soil fertility and access issues that a buyer should address before purchasing farm property. In Part 2, I will review the various land use permitting considerations that could affect use of agricultural land. Remember that you may want to have professionals on your team to help guide you, including a real estate broker, a certified public account and a land use attorney. While there may be additional costs at the outset for these services, a fully informed decision is priceless. In Oregon, agricultural land is resource land, and when so designated, is protected by one of the most restricted zoning classifications. Farming is safeguarded, not only because of its historic importance to people in the state, but because it continues to be a major employer. The purpose of exclusive farm use, or EFU, zone regulations is to ensure that valuable land is retained for agricultural use and to minimize other uses that conflict with farming. When it comes to using farm property for anything other than production of food and fiber, land use permits are required and may be opposed by neighboring owners and other interested parties. This even includes building a single-family residential home on EFUzoned property, which requires a conditional use permit. That application process will necessitate soils testing by a licensed soils scientist to determine if there are soils not suitable for agricultural use.
