EDITOR’S NOTE:

As you might glean from past editor’s notes, a lot goes on here behind the scenes. One of those behind-the-scenes tasks this week: Deciding what to do about the Facebook News platform—the new feed that requires news outlets first to register and then have stories be vetted by other journalists before their material appears on the feed. To some, it might seem like a no-brainer to add our award-winning stories to the queue —it’s one more place for readers to get information, after all. Others raise concern about the outsize influence Facebook has in disseminating news today—not to mention the ongoing debate about how much the social media platform can and should do to root out the sometimes-untruthful political ads that pervade it. Have you seen Elizabeth Warren’s spoof ad on Facebook, claiming that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg supports re-electing Trump in 2020? The ad was created to highlight how easily false claims can proliferate on Facebook—even while that ad also openly admitted it was saying something false. It was a brilliant maneuver that made a strong point. In the end, we opted to register with Facebook News. Our commitment is to our readers, and we want to be where you go to obtain news and information. We’re cautiously optimistic that the platform will be able to remain a forum free of political ads—real or fake—so you can focus on locally sourced news. I’m happy to hear what you think.

OPINION

A Home Energy Score is a Win for Bend

n early December, the Bend City Council will consider whether to approve the Community Climate Action Plan—a series of recommendations aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption in the city by as much as 70%, from current levels, by the year 2050. It’s an ambitious plan; one that comes with a set of voluntary recommendations and just one proposed mandate: require all homes sold in Bend to come with a Home Energy Score. That scoring process, based on a system developed by the U.S. Department of Energy, rates a home’s heating, cooling, hot water systems and structure to arrive at a number that can give prospective buyers a more tangible view of the efficiency of a home, as well as recommendations for improving the score. It costs as much as $175 (or less) to complete in Portland, where it’s been required since January 2018. We support the proposed mandate. The Central Oregon Association of Realtors does not. Its spokesperson Tyler Neese told the Source Weekly that his organization supports incentives and voluntary programs that allow buyers to make informed decisions, but that a mandate adds cost and complexity to transactions. While we understand the concern, it does not outweigh the benefit. Buying a home is the biggest purchase most people are ever going to make—and having a full picture of the state of that major purchase is fair. Energy efficiency ratings are available on less-costly items such as washing machines, and people surely use the information when buying appliances. Many do the same when buying a car; a higher miles-per-gallon rating definitely matters to those concerned about watching where their money goes. And while COAR is correct in asserting that there’s already a voluntary system in place that could potentially show a buyer how a home stacks up, that system has less significance when one home has a rating and another doesn’t. Sure, we could let the free market reign and wait for the majority of sellers to get on board, but that’s a slow road to getting buyers informed. And yes, buyers can currently pay for the scores themselves if they really want to know how a home stacks up—but that’s a far more costly prospect than simply asking each seller to pony up the small amount of cash needed for the score. With home values in Bend going up by healthy amounts every year, the $175 needed for the assessment is hardly going to put a seller out. With the median home sale price

being around $470,000 as of August, the assessment amounts to roughly .037 percent of the home price. (What’s more, a plan is in place to allow struggling sellers to waive the assessment, as our Take Me Home columnists outline in this week’s column on page 41.) And while COAR argues that adding more costs into the selling process is a concern in a market that struggles to keep housing affordable, we believe the opposite: Having more information about the efficiency of a home is going to help those buyers on limited budgets choose wisely, potentially saving them more money in utility costs down the road. In a seller’s market, as we have long seen in Bend, these scores are not going to slow sales. COAR also argues that there is a lack of people trained in doing the ratings in the Central Oregon market. That’s true now because the system is entirely voluntary. The City’s mandate could very well account for that by setting up a grace period for the mandate, or by offering incentives for local people to acquire the training needed to complete the task. Current inspectors could also roll this into the services they provide, as many inspectors currently do in the Portland area. Given that commercial and residential buildings account for nearly 12 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according to Environmental Protection Agency estimates, having more information about how to lower those emissions (and save money) is the right thing to do, even if it puts a seller—and the real estate agents that earn a commission from it—out that .037 percent. The Bend City Council is expected to vote on the Community Climate Action Plan Dec. 4. Write to share your concerns at: council@bendoregon.gov.

Q & A With COCC’s New President WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / NOVEMBER 21, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Laurel Brauns

Dr. Laurie Chesley talks democracy, technology and 18th century British lit By Laurel Brauns

r. Laurie Chesley started this summer as Central Oregon Community College’s sixth president. She’s a first-generation college graduate from Michigan and has held a range of leadership positions in diverse educational settings, from community colleges to four-year liberal arts institutions. Chesley sat down with the Source Weekly to talk about her leadership. Source Weekly: What do you feel a community college offers students that other educational institutions don’t? Laurie Chesley: Access is the most import thing we offer. We are open admissions; we are open to anyone who comes wanting to learn. COCC will almost certainly never be involved in any admissions scandals! (Laughing.) Community colleges are America’s unique contribution to democracy. Everyone has an opportunity; everyone is welcome to take a chance and do something and to learn and better their lives. There are some competitive programs like nursing here, but there is almost always something else that a student can do at COCC and be successful. SW: Your doctorate English… why English?

was

LC: As a young person—this is true now even though I’m not a young person (laughing)—as a young person, I loved to read and write. So being an English major in college seemed like the right move, and I loved college. When I got there I thought college was the most wonderful place to be. And so I soon figured out I needed to find a way to stay

in college a long time. And that meant I went to graduate school, and that meant I pursued a career in education, and here I am, still going to school, still in college. SW: What are some ideas you’d like to share about your vision for the future of COCC? LC: I think we have the opportunity to be more effective in serving all of our district, our more rural areas, beyond our Bend campus. We have campuses in three other cities: Redmond, Madras and Prineville, but our district stretches over 10,000 square miles. That’s bigger than eight U.S. states. In addition to Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook [Counties] we go up into parts of Wasco and south into Klamath and Lake counties. One way we can reach people who are looking for education in these places is to expand our use of technology, maybe by creating virtual environments, online classes, streaming classes. But first we need to have more dialogue with people that live in these rural areas and then work to serve their needs. SW: You worked as a professor for many years before moving on to administration. How did your time in the classroom influence your leadership style? LC: I think there are a lot of transferable skills that you can take from being a teacher: These have to do with knowing the importance of communicating well and establishing relationships. With the understanding that you have different audiences in front of you—and that they need to maybe hear things differently—you have a common message,

Dr. Laurie Chesley, COCC’s new president, stands with an owl decoy outside her office, which is meant to scare off—rather than attract—nearby birds. Chesley said her last community college campus in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, was urban, and did not have any deer or “bunnies.”

but how you explain something to one group is different than how you might to another. Just like in the classroom: You have one topic but you have 25 different people there who may need to hear or receive a lesson in different ways. Some need to experience it themselves, some like to hear it, some like to read it. SW: You attended the Bend Chamber of Commerce’s “Economic Impact Breakfast” on Oct. 31, where guest speaker Lindsey Piegza talked about a “lingering skills mismatch” in the labor market. On the national level, employers report that while they are receiving many applicants for jobs, the skills within those résumés often fail to demonstrate the required math and computer proficiencies the company is seeking. What’s your vision for getting students at COCC up to speed? LC: First of all, this college is built on a really strong tradition and foundation, so I’m looking at where there is an opportunity to be even stronger. We can be even more responsive to local employers and find out what their

specific needs are and how can we can best react to [those needs] and meet them. We’re not operating in a vacuum, but think how much Bend has grown over the last decade and how many new folks and new businesses and new enterprises have come, and have we kept up? It becomes a harder task… growth makes things harder. We need to adjust to the growth and speed of change. SW: You wrote your dissertation for your doctorate on the 18th century British author Daniel Defoe, and his portrayal of women. Why were you drawn to this topic and literature from this time period? LC: So, in Defoe’s fiction, he portrayed women as rebels and outlaws, but in his nonfiction he encouraged women to be well-behaved and fit within society’s norms. I love 18th century literature because it has a very social and societal aspect to it; it deals less with the individual, the inner self. I’ve always been interested in gender relationships and how that plays itself out—not only in writing—but in the world in general.

Recession Proof?

Nick Harsell

Local economists report on Bend’s growing tech sector, low unemployment and a strong housing market By Laurel Brauns

A booming tech sector Ross and Zach Lipson founded Dutchie—an ecommerce cannabis dispensary platform—two years ago in Bend, and they’ve already hired 36 employees and won $18 million in venture capital, according to a Sept. 10 article in TechCrunch. The Lipsons are part of a growing sector of tech employers in Central Oregon that may help mitigate the effects of an inevitable economic slowdown in the coming years. Other Bend-based companies like Amplion (pharmacological discovery research) and Apricity (custom design electronics) may not be household names, but start-up by start-up, they are providing well-paying jobs and selling their goods and services outside of Bend, supporting a solid flow of revenue into the City. “This kind of growth is not particularly sexy,” said Damon Runberg, a regional economist for the Oregon Employment Department. “It’s not like a new Telsa plant coming in with hundreds of jobs. This is four jobs here, five jobs there, a five-person company turning into a 10-person company.” During the last recession, Central Oregon’s workforce was particularly

vulnerable because employment in construction and tourism dominated the economy. But while tourism continues to make up the largest share of total private employment, at around 17%, Runberg believes the region’s transition from “timber to tourism” is largely a myth. The leisure and hospitality sector of the employment pie has stayed the same since 1990, he wrote in a study for OED, published Sept. 19. While it’s true that employment from wood products in Deschutes County has drastically declined, it’s professional and business services—not tourism—that have seen the largest gains, he wrote. This includes companies like the tech firms above, as well as everything from engineering to marketing to law firms. Roger Lee, CEO of Economic Development for Central Oregon, said this trend is a sign that the nonprofit’s endeavors are paying off. “When we were founded nearly 40 years ago, it was in our charter to add diversification like tech and manufacturing to the local economy,” Lee said. “We’ve been speaking around the country about Bend’s 40-year ‘overnight’ success. But it’s an effort that’s been in place a long time, with one industry and one company at a time.” Low unemployment Central Oregonians have experienced the longest period of job expansion and wage gains since the 1970s when the Oregon Employment Department began collecting data, according to Runberg.

Brothers Ross, left, and Zach Lipson founded Dutchie—an ecommerce platform for cannabis dispensaries—two years ago in Bend. The start-up has helped facilitate over $140 million in sales for 450 stores across 18 states.

millennials, a lot of formational things have been pushed backwards like starting a family and buying a house. That is not to say they don’t want these things. Locally, our young professional network is overachieved. They don’t seem like they are struggling too much, but probably renting longer than they’d like to, or living with their parents.” Overall, both Runberg and Lee believe that the Central Oregon economy is in a better position to weather the next economic storm, largely because of the growing tech and manufacturing sectors as well as an unmet demand for housing both in Bend and across the country. Runberg presented his forecast to the public during the Bend Chamber of Commerce’s “Economic Impact Breakfast” Oct. 31, where he also discussed the possible outcomes of slowing job growth on a tight local labor market. For an isolated hub surrounded by millions of acres of National Forest and farm lands, Lee thinks the region’s economy is stronger than ever. “At EDCO, we find it interesting when we look at the big picture, because we’re just a speck on the map; 5% of the State’s population,” Lee said. “We’re off the beaten path, away from the resources of a large metropolitan area and international airports, but we continue to out-perform not just our peers, but larger places that have all of those resources next door.”

Housing market Just last month, WalletHub ranked Bend the third fastest-growing city in the U.S., and Central Oregon continues to attract highly qualified workers with diverse skill sets from across the country, Lee said. But one major headwind for newcomers is finding a place to live. Demand—especially for homes on the lower end of the market—is driving prices up, one factor that may protect the real estate market from the devastation that characterized the Great Recession, according to Runberg. In addition, the speculative investment buys of the mid-aughts has largely dissipated and further, mortgage structures have changed, with banks demanding higher down payments and stronger credit from potential homebuyers. But the need for cheaper houses puts a whole slew of local millennials—in their prime years for home buying—in a holding pattern. Many are shouldered with 10s or even 100s of thousands of dollars in student loan debt, with their wages still lagging relative to their age because they came into the labor market right when the recession emerged. “I try to push against generational research,” Runberg said. “But for

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 47 / NOVEMBER 21, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

s whispers of the next economic downturn grow to a roar in the national news, two regional economic experts believe Central Oregon will not be “bulldozed” this time around. A host of insulating factors—like sustainable job creation in the professional sector, and an unmet demand for affordable housing— may combine to shield the region from a full-blown recession in the years to come.

When the economy is “hot” like it has been over the past few years, it’s difficult for companies to find workers. But Lee argues that employment challenges in the region may have more to do with a company’s culture than market forces. “A local insurance company, for example, has been searching to fill positions for months,” Lee explained. “But then you look like a company like Laird Superfood out in Sisters [that manufactures coconut sugars and instant coffee inspired by the diet of surfer Laird Hamilton] and they employ 100 people and want to get to 500 someday. They’ve reported great satisfaction with the kind of talent they’ve been able to attract.”

This Economy By Kevin Miller Aspen quake like loose change through still pine. What moves some is not enough for others. Sun and shadow play tricks against jack-pine trunks. What some make of it, others reckon on their own time. Spare change before breakfast, the palms of back sleepers open to receive windfall profits, such easy money.

On the Poem: This poem puts on display the poet’s dexterity: we notice the precision of seeing objects in their context (“loose change / through still pine”; “Spare change / before breakfast”), and the inexactness of human witness (“some”; “others”). —Jenna Goldsmith Command of language and clear imagery. This piece is concise but powerful. —Brigitte Lewis

After Eden By Marc Drexler Imagine emotion made of metal leaves. Birch-chime silver for love, coppered chinquapin, sorrow. Comb a forest floor littered with letters, an alphabet of feeling amid fractal fronds of ferns. Curled alder afloat on a fall rill glitters light, like aluminum laughter, or, gilded, sinks us with guilt. Sycamores reclaim patience with a clean nickel glint, and tin tupelos bend in uncertainty. Words are wind, the dwindled original language blown through branches before Babel fell, the voice of a luffed vessel's whispered flaps, puffed air erupted from fissures, surf spray, the whisper of sparrows' wings. A harsh sentence is the susurrus of fallen slaves expelled from bliss. We breathe the dusted duff of pulverized pleasure, fear, and pity, feel reflections off those lost alloys, leaves of Eden under moonlight's spell, motes in a beam of the primal lamp. Poetry is pure water, a tisane of sanity, dilute, dissolved droplets from the chakra of creation nurtured centuries in certain clear lakes, the call of loons, the lean of willows. On the Poem: What a delicious mixture of words - the tastes of metallurgy, alliteration is felt like quaking aspen is seen and then the descent into my favorite things - clear lakes, loons and willows. Wow. The rich alchemy of words in this poem is pure celebration. —Kit Stafford

Argentum By Meli Broderick Eaton I see you there, silver as you fade, brighter now because I notice, because I know the shadow running at us in this shining moment. Now, I understand kenning, the interpretation of my rhythms informing me: the gift, you see, is in knowing our hearts will break at the same time when you leave when you give up your kinblood bones for the relief of flight. I bend nearer the seeping still of your threadbare heart to cover the chill growing across your paper skin.

On the Poem: Gorgeous and surprising language, fine lineation, a “shining moment” indeed. —Irene Cooper

Missing, Presumed? By Catherine Brereton

Temporarily: parents (1974, Ashton-under-Lyne Market Hall) daughter (Thursday afternoon, the walk home from school) Traumatically: tooth (upper mandible, left side) nail (middle finger, left hand) flesh (shin, right leg) Regretfully ovaries (two, cyst-filled) ash tray (brass, Grandma’s) book (Lady Chatterley, water-stained) friend (2001, Michaela) Intentionally: wisdom teeth (four, shattered first) gallbladder (with stones, multiple) uterus (8.4lbs, boggy) moles (two, pre-cancerous) lovers (several, unsuitable) On the Poem: What can I say? I love a list, and a hermit crab. It’s a clever poem, but not so clever as to bury emotion. I like the formality of the last word, “unsuitable.” I can’t help but think it could be even more powerful in its constraint if it were ordered differently. —Irene Cooper

5. Viki By Cat Finney I’m thinking about those two Ponderosas leaning into each other on the banks of the Metolius. Not holding each other up exactly—this is not that kind of poem—but existing together, one living, one a snag, with the triangle of space between them drawing down the blue sky, framing the busy particulate of the river basin— bitter brush, asters, grey squirrels, Townsend’s chipmunks, wild rose, willows—and I’m thinking now is the time for us all to breathe in the spawning vigorous minutiae of this place. Really, what I want to tell you, Viki, is that all our lives are contained like this, and I want you to know how your life framed ours for one big green, twinkling, animated moment, a blessing. On the Poem: This love poem built between two trees and what they frame is space for all that fits to say exactly what it does say about the moment of clear awareness - gratitude. Even within the poem we find the poet speaking lest we get sentimental be awake to the world!—Kit Stafford

Sack of Birds By Ellen Waterston They say when lost in the woods, stay put. So I haven’t moved in decades. But I have mapped my small encampment at the base of this tree, and every night gazed overhead, taken inventory of the brilliant, fiery arc of meteors. As to all these evergreens, I thought trees claimed beauty from root and soil. But beauty, like love, is homeless. At the very least I have come to know this. And, that the forest is for the tree. What if I left and things fell apart, would I hear them fall? My thin shoulder leans daily into difficult questions of earth and sky. Today, today I will take heart in hand. There’s reason to do so: they say the membrane between the living and the dead is thin in October. It’s my chance to cross over. Listen. Is that the bark of a bloodhound? Sound of a search plane? If I have my bearings right, not far away folks carry on up and down the river of their allotted time here. They’ll be closing up their summer cabins, locking shutters, hanging bunk mattresses from the rafters to discourage rodents. They’ll discard the sour dough starter, break open the extra flour sack filled with birds that will flutter into the dusk, puncture soft holes in the night, let starlight through, like pin lights, like lovers making love to love. It’s cold here. On the Poem: I enjoyed the diction and unabashed weirdness of this poem. Although I’m not always certain where I am in this poem or with whom, I love where the poem leaves me, with that last line. —Irene Cooper

Honorable Mention Peeling an Orange By Suzanne Burns You sit cross-legged on your bed like nothing ever happened the day you are released from the hospital. I go shopping, buy blueberries you will never eat, salmon you will place in your freezer and forget, organic peanut butter, a bag of Mandarin oranges Mandarin oranges, we both know, will not cure you, the nurses and doctors letting you go once the alcohol is gone, knowing it will find its way back to you in a month or two of being left alone while I go back to my husband and watch him drink, the pendulum I will swing on for months before leaving, many fights, many drinks, guilt, bargaining, apologies, but this afternoon we pretend you are healed and everything will be like it is in an Afterschool Special we both grew up watching, the handsome, troubled boy sitting on the edge of the bed peeling an orange the neighbor girl brought him. Look, they marvel, it is so juicy. Look, they exclaim, like it’s the single most important revelation, there aren’t even any seeds. On the Poem: Sensual piece that uses scene to ground the reader. Nice use of language. —Brigitte Lewis

A SPOTLIGHT ON THE PEOPLE OF CENTRAL OREGON

Local Novelist gives Historical Women a Voice By Cayla Clark “Women’s history must be invented... both uncovered and made up.” – Virginia Woolf

nvisioning the wild, wild West leads to very specific imagery: dusty trails, tumbleweeds and rugged, leather-clad cowboys patrolling the countryside on horseback. Men certainly take the spotlight when it comes to historical depictions of the Old West. Author and longtime Bendite Jane Kirkpatrick has dedicated her literary career to giving historical women the voice they deserve—even if that means putting words into their mouths. Kirkpatrick has written a total of 27 novels and five nonfiction books since 1991. Her career began in the classroom. “I took a class at the community college in Bend,” explained Kirkpatrick. “My teacher was really encouraging. He told me, ‘I think you could sell some of your assignments.’ And I did! I wrote a short essay about my husband teaching me how to fish. It was bought by a national magazine.” That very same essay opened her eyes to the powerful impact writing has on readers. “I had men reaching out to me, thanking me for what I had written,” she explained. “They wanted to share their hobbies with their girlfriends or wives… they showed them the article, and it helped. Now, when I get a bad review, I go back to that article. It reminds me that writing is meant to encourage and inspire people.” Since then, Kirkpatrick has shifted her attention to historical fiction. Why? To esteem strong, important women that may have otherwise been forgotten, she says.

“They gracefully went about the challenges they faced. My books focus on their own capacity to be generous and kind and take care of themselves and others.” Kirkpatrick bases her protagonists off of real women, though she quickly found that digging up historical accounts of females was far more difficult than finding facts about their male counterparts. “It’s kind of like CSI,” she explained. “I try to keep the actual names. But a lack of information allows permission to step into fiction.” She researches extensively, tracing genealogy, unearthing public records and speaking with any descendants. “I can sometimes find documents—obituaries, wills, etc. that will tell me what they valued and how they were perceived by others. Letters are a gem—to or from the women. Ephemera, pieces of jewelry or small treasures they saved also give insight. I also rely on contemporary character descriptions like Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory that explore stages of women’s lives. I try to find an object that can represent the goal the woman wanted, her desire which she either achieves or realizes perhaps what really mattered was something quite different.” Mostly, Kirkpatrick relies on what she refers to as “shared knowing.” “If I find the same information over and over, I’ll go off of that,” she said. “It’s easier to get information about men because they were the ones who wrote the histories. They were interviewed by other men, mostly. Women

were busy feeding, clothing and cleaning, and often their daily activities were one-liners on their calendar. ‘Chickens stopped laying eggs today.’ Or, ‘Mary stopped by. We hung wash together.’ Many of these treasures are thrown out when the women die, so their stories are lost. I try to revive some of them.” A fictional spin on real historical figures sometimes leads to ruffled feathers. “I have gotten some anonymous comments—people writing and saying, ‘It didn’t happen that way.’ But then there are other people, descendants of the person I’m writing about that thank me and say things like, ‘I feel like I was given my family back.’” The female perspective that Kirkpatrick takes often proves to be polarizing. Female heroines stereotypically indicate mushy romance novels or feminism-fueled tirades. Some of the most powerful reactions, she shared, are from pre-opposed men who stumble upon her novels. She shared a letter she received from a man whose wife let him borrow “A Name of Her Own” while waiting for a flight. “I don’t read female authors, but my wife really likes you,” he wrote. He shared that he had finished the book, and it had opened his

eyes to the things his wife did to help shape their children. He noted that ultimately, he felt the book had made him a better husband, father and man. That’s one of Kirkpatrick’s ongoing inspirations as a female novelist—to open eyes to the historical importance of women not just as leaders and pioneers of the Western world, but as daughters, wives and mothers. “One man told me he’d asked to come hear me speak as his birthday present, and that the stories I write have given him a community because he felt he was born 100 years too late. But because the protagonists are mostly women, women are most likely to find themselves inside my stories. That’s one of the reasons why we read stories, to find ourselves and to find someone to care about and cheer for. When I worked at Warm Springs, the janitor would buy five copies of my latest novel, one for himself, one for his wife, one for his daughter and two nephews. He told me they would get together and read the story together. ‘That’s how we find ourselves inside your stories,’ he told me. The greatest of compliments.” For more information on the local author, visit jkbooks.com.

The Sound of Home Comfort

Trent Wagler talks about The Steel Wheels' latest album By Isaac Biehl

Josh Saul

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 47 / NOVEMBER 21, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

est known for its strings and on-point harmonizing, the Virginia-based band The Steel Wheels released “Over the Trees,” its seventh full-length album back in July. The release marks its first album as a fivepiece, with the addition of percussionist Kevin Garcia, who had been touring with the band over the last couple years. We called up Trent Wagler (vocals/ guitar/banjo), who was just finishing a brisk Virginia-morning walk with his two dogs, to get a lowdown on the album.

Source Weekly: You guys put out your seventh album this year with “Over The Trees.” As a group that has been making music for quite some time, where did you try to push yourselves creatively on that project? Trent Wagler: I think, every other album we’ve done, drums have been an afterthought or more in support of what we’re doing—which was normally in the string-band realm. This time it was really fun from the very beginning to have a drummer and just consider that being an integral part of the sound. It wasn’t as much like, ‘well, do we have drums?’ as it was, ‘what does percussion do on this particular song?’ Because of that we were able to explore different textures—and it also opened us up to consider, like in the same way we might say there are no drums on this song, we also said that to each other. Like maybe there’s no fiddle on this song, or maybe the keyboard takes the bassline. We just opened up the palette. We tried to ask, ‘what does the song require?’ rather than ‘look at what I can do on this instrument!’ SW: One thing that immediately stood out to me was opening the album with “Rains Come.” Not only is it almost five minutes long, but it’s speaking out about climate change. Did guys always know this would be the one to kick off the album? TW: No, there was a lot of debate actually [laughs]. Overall, Sam as a producer on this record—he’s a super easy going, great producer from top to bottom. Great musician. Really good at taking multiple people’s ideas and digesting them. When it came to the album order he definitely had some strong opinions. I wouldn’t even say “Rains Come" was his first choice as an opener. But when we threw out different possible album orders, this was one of them that he was definitely willing to fight for.

The Steel Wheels step in a new direction on “Over the Trees.”

What I learned from Sam is that it’s OK to not follow a specific formula. Because you’re right—it’s a five-minute song. And to open a record with a five-minute song, especially right now when people’s attention spans are short as ever, that was the concern. But it set the tone. It says, ‘this is not like your past Steel Wheels’ records.’ SW: And then on the flipside of that, you close the album with “This Year,” which is centered around having and giving others peace. Why is it important to you to put that type of positivity into a record? TW: For me, that song, I was not convinced that song should be on any record at first. Someone told me, 'you should write a holiday song,' so that’s where it started from. What finally hit me a little bit, at least in my group of friends or people I’m around a lot, was this sense of being positive, being hopeful and having that as a mindset or mantra throughout your day— right now especially, can feel very naive or almost passé. That whole idea of ‘if you’re not angry you’re not paying attention.’ I was fascinated by laying that out there and seeing what people would do with it. It’s a little bit tongue in cheek, you know what I mean? It goes into these verses like, ‘all your marriages are healthy, all your children

are strong.’ It’s still sort of with a wink that you’re saying that. SW: You guys recorded the album in Maine. What was that experience like? TW: It’s great. Because this was our second record we’ve done with Sam up there, we really knew the whole vibe this time. We knew where our bedrooms were. It’s like an old farmhouse and you sleep there and we make all the meals ourselves. It was almost a year ago now when we recorded it, so it was December, and we got caught in a snowstorm just as we were getting to the studio. We have a big long van and trailer we were bringing up there for the week and we got stuck on a hill like 3 miles from the studio. We were sliding backwards, and the trailer was kind of jackknifing across the other lane of traffic. It was a disaster. We got rescued by this local farmer who said his daughter saw someone stuck on the hill. He showed up with a tractor and a chain and pulled us up the hill. It was such a cool setup to the week. Then we holed up for 10 days. SW: I’m a pretty big believer in that where you listen to music can change the whole experience. Do you think that’s the same for recording?

TW: Yeah, yeah. I don’t think there’s any doubt. If you put everything else the same way—the same microphones, the same producers, the same musicians. If we were in some studio in New York or Nashville I don’t think it’d be the same record. SW: Where would you tell people to listen to “Over The Trees” for the best experience? TW: Oh, man. Well, I’m sitting in front of our woodstove right now and I’ve got a record player that puts music around the house. It’s funny— it’s kind of like what we’re talking about. Some of the most controlled environments, while they may be finely tuned to offer theoretically what you’re supposed to experience, I think that some of the reason vinyl has come back is the imperfections. I think about that with the wood stove because it doesn’t heat your house perfectly. But you see the fire and you feel it. I think that the right place to listen to this record is whatever feels like home to you.

Grace Caston releases her debut EP, “Home” By Isaac Biehl

Nate Gerhardt

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 47 / NOVEMBER 21, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The music video for Caston’s song, “Home,” is now available on YouTube.

race Caston is a Bend-based singer/ songwriter with a powerful yet delicate voice. Her debut EP, “Home,” showcases a certain finesse as Caston dips in and out between harmonies with ease. Set to release to the public on Nov. 23 with a show at Spoken Moto, “Home” is a record that should be immediately added to your local music collection. The EP is wise, thoughtful and a great example of how poetry and songwriting connect. Caston’s knack for storytelling is showcased the minute the title track starts. She paints a picture of a past sanctuary in California as she sings, “I can smell the ocean, just sitting in our yard. Salty air and not a care, living from the heart.” Caston continues to detail places of home built right before her eyes—and how they disappeared just the same as they came. Listeners can hear an honesty and openness in Caston’s voice as she sings throughout the project. Her tone invites listeners in and makes them want to

listen—like talking with a good friend over coffee. Caston also isn’t afraid to stand up for others. On “Songbird,” she pushes those silenced to speak out for what they believe in. Then on “Love is Love,” Caston makes the case for all types of love—because in the end it’s just the feeling that matters, and it’s something everybody seeks. “Home” is a great compilation of folk music made right here in Central Oregon—and with a voice like Caston’s it’s hard not to be successful. While this may be her debut EP, it’s clear music has long been a large part of Caston’s life. She’s found her sweet spot and lets the vocals and songwriting do the heavy lifting on the project. It’s because of this that “Home” comes off both effortless and timeless. Grace Caston EP Release Party Sat., Nov. 23. 7-9pm Spoken Moto 310 SW Industrial Way, Bend No cover

CULTURE

A Tax on Reading

How international tariffs are making a significant impact—even on books By Tom Beans, Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe

enjamin Franklin, the first Postmaster General, decided that disseminating knowledge to all colonists was important enough that newspapers and other printed materials should receive free or discounted mailing rates. It was important to the Founders that all colonists had affordable access to news and information. Fast forward almost 250 years and that access is—or soon will be—costing you more money than it did just a few months ago. What changed? Tariffs. Specifically, a 10% tariff enacted on Sept. 1 that applies to all books printed in China and imported into the United States. But wait, you say, don’t we print most of our books here in the U.S.? Not nearly as many as you’d think. Why is it happening? As CNBC’s Spencer Kimball put it, “The trade war between the U.S. and China started more than a year ago, but past rounds of duties have mostly impacted parts and components that are not obvious to the average consumer.” Here’s a look at how we got here and what this might mean for readers moving forward: Over the last three decades, U.S. printers—specifically those that manufacture the books you find in any bookstore—have

undergone a contraction through closures and mergers. With fewer presses available and a lack of skilled labor, publishers have been forced to turn to China to create some of the more complex four-color print runs, especially those found in many children’s books. No big deal, right? On the contrary. With fewer printers in the U.S. and the longer shipping times from China, consumers got a taste of what this means during the holiday season last year. Instead of requesting and getting a rushed reprint back into stores in two weeks, publishers were being told that such reprints could take up to two months. Popular titles such as “The Overstory,” “Salt Fat Acid Heat” and “Asymmetry” were largely unavailable for much of the holiday shopping season—much to the dismay of both Submitted

readers and booksellers like us, who depend on strong holiday sales. Moving forward, this year some publishers have advised us to order popular titles in large enough initial quantities to get through the entire season. Reprints may or may not be available in December. The cash flow strain of having to order two dozen copies of a book that may not sell completely for three months is no small matter for independent bookstores, which might normally order four to six copies of a book and then restock as needed. The other big question: What does this means for the price of books? While we’ve seen some publishers place stickers with new, higher prices over the prices already printed on the book, most industry experts expect prices to remain fairly stable for the rest of this year. Looking ahead, though, expect price increases anywhere from 25 cents up to $2 or $3 per book. Sadly, there’s

Skate School Gets its Own Mural

he work of a world-traveling mural painter can now be found in Bend, at the skate school Bearings Skateboard Academy. John Pipes—who typically signs his murals under his professional moniker, Pipes Dreams—completed three pieces now on permanent display at BSA. According to Gabe Triplette, owner and coach at BSA, he and Pipes are longtime friends and share a deep passion for skateboarding. Pipes came to town originally intending to paint two panels, but then added a third piece as a gift. The first is a huge

really no other way to view this than as a tax on information, which goes against longstanding U.S. policy to not impose tariffs on educational, cultural or scientific materials. Are these tariffs on books truly necessary? Given the current state of the printing industry, publishers are almost forced to print in China, so the punitive pricing embedded in the tariffs affects U.S. readers, booksellers and publishers. Meanwhile, the federal government has exempted Bibles from the tariffs and has delayed tariffs on mobile phones, laptops and game consoles. Draw your own conclusions as to whom the administration is really trying to punish with these particular tariffs. Safe to say that Mr. Franklin would not be pleased.

Gabe Triplette and John Pipes with the giant Tony Hawk deck.

replica of a 1983 Tony Hawk/Powell Peralta deck using graphics originally drawn by iconic skate artist VC Johnson. The giant deck got some attention on Instagram from the Bones Brigade—a group that includes some of the most high-profile names in skating—and garnered BSA and Pipes Dreams some major exposure.

The other giant deck became “Bend Your Bearings.” For this piece, Pipes says he wanted to be very considerate of place— not only giving deference to skate culture and history but also to Bend and its place. He spent most of his downtime walking around to visit every mural site he could find, including The Capitol and Tin Pan

Alley, as well as every gallery in town. He wanted to understand and be inspired by the community he was working in before he started to paint. Ultimately, he found his inspiration in the mountains. The final piece, which he signed with his own name to express his personal connection to it, is an homage to the style of Powell-Peralta— the iconic skate brand—depicting Broken Top at sunset with a skeleton skater doing a handplant on one of its rims. Classic skate style. While Pipes said he took great pride in sharing his work with an old friend, he said it was the strong response from the kids—BSA students—that meant the most.

Once the tournament reached the final four it looked like it could have been anyone’s game, but mashed potatoes handily beat dinner rolls with 76% of the vote. Stuffing versus gravy was a little closer—but the former sent gravy packing with 64% of the vote, setting up one giant (and delicious) finale. From the beginning it was clear that these two were frontrunners. Mashed potatoes beat cranberry sauce easily in the first round with 87% of the votes. Then stuffing absolutely destroyed my personal favorite side dish, green bean casserole, with 72% in the quarterfinals.

W ik i

hanksgiving meals are pretty epic—and all are unique in their own way. Even just writing about a nice Thanksgiving spread is making me hungry. For many, turkey serves as the base of the meal. But what would Thanksgiving dinner be without an array of side dishes? Over the past week, we pitted 16 side dishes against each other through Instagram polls to find out which is the favorite here in Central Oregon. All matchups were randomized, so we saw some big names go down early. Sorry, cranberry sauce.

It truly was a finals matchup for the ages, featuring the closest poll of the tournament—they were only separated by four votes! But in the end, there

could only be one—and it looks like they mashed the competition… Here’s to eating way too much food next week, no matter your favorite side dish!

ooking is my love language. It brings me a deep sense of purpose and allows me to share recipes I’ve curated with people I cherish. Every year, my family and I brainstorm holiday menu ideas and assign side dishes to those who’ve proven their mirepoix-making skills—that is until five years ago. I became so irate over the mayhem that unavoidably plays out in the kitchen every year, and I refused to attend the holiday unless we had it catered. I was met with some resistance, but the day turned out to be pleasant and free of stress. If you’re seeking to spend less time in your kitchen this year, toss out the baster and check out a few of these local restaurants and lodges handling the turkey (and doing the dishes) on Thanksgiving Day.

“Dark beer” doesn’t always mean strong and sweet

33 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 47 / NOVEMBER 21, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

CRAFT

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark

By Zach Beckwith, Head Brewer, Bend Brewing Company Zach Beckwith

“Dark Beers," as shown here, run a gamut of different characteristics.

“I

don’t like dark beer.” Anyone who’s ever spent enough time in a brewpub or taproom has heard those words. Of course, “dark beer” runs the gamut from hoppy Cascadian dark ales and crisp, malty dunkel lagers all the way to robust, roasty imperial stouts. Dark beer is not some monolithic beer style; dark describes appearance, not necessarily flavor. With that in mind I thought it a pertinent time to delve into the wider world of “dark beer.” You can’t talk about “dark beer” without talking about stouts, and you can’t talk about stouts without talking about Guinness. Arthur Guinness began brewing at the St. James’s Gate brewery in Dublin in the late 18th century, brewing ales and the popular English style of porter. Early stouts were simply stronger versions of porter, so called “stout porters,” but as porter’s popularity waned over the 19th century, Guinness’s stouts persisted. By the 1920s, when Guinness switched to unmalted, roasted barley in place of black patent malt, the styles diverged permanently. Today the inclusion of unmalted, roasted barley is the defining difference between a stout and a porter, with stouts containing a distinct roastiness and porters typically accentuating more chocolate notes. Just as “dark beer” is not a singular entity, stout and porter each contain multiple substyles. The Guinness people are most familiar with today is not the Extra Stout that made the brewery famous; but it’s nitrogenated dry stout. Dry stouts are typically a sessionable 4-5% ABV and will often include a portion of sour wort that creates a dry, slightly acidic beer that lends itself to multiple pints. Foreign export stouts, such as Bend Brewing Company’s Trade War or Pelican Brewing’s Tsunami Stout, are essentially stronger and fuller-bodied dry stouts that have a distinct roasty finish. Long

before so-called “pastry stouts” became the most visible “style” of stout, oatmeal stouts, featuring oatmeal in the grist, and sweet stouts, containing small amounts of milk sugar, were commonplace. The king of all stouts is imperial stout, named because they were designed to be exported to the Russian Imperial Court. Imperial stouts are what people imagine all dark beers to be; strong, thick and onyx black. Barrel aging imperial stouts in bourbon barrels has become standard for most breweries, with some releases, such as Crux’s Tough Love and Deschutes Brewery’s Abyss, becoming annual holidays. Porters similarly range from nutty and chocolatey brown porters to increasingly more robust and imperial-strength versions. Beyond the porters and stouts that everyone associates with “dark beer” are the multitude of dark lager styles. Dark lager styles range from German dunkel lagers such as Buoy Beer’s recently canned Dunkel Lager, to taqueria-favorite Mexican dark lagers all the way to strong, lagered Baltic porters. Dark lagers, like dark ales, can be crisp and sessionable or strong and decadent and everywhere in between. Even hop heads can find a dark beer to suit their needs. Cascadian dark ales or black IPAs, to those outside the Northwest, are essentially classic IPAs that have been “stained” with debittered black malts to create a mind-bending mix of intense hop flavor crossed with a stout-like appearance. The style is much maligned, but well-executed versions are a treat. As the beer world drifts further and further away from beer-flavored beers and classic styles are increasingly ignored, “dark beers” provide an important reminder of the incredible depth of flavor and experience that the world of beer offers. Don’t be afraid of the dark.

“The Shining” might not be very scary, but it’s still a beautifully directed and acted look into the grown-up life of Danny Torrance. For a film featuring hippy psychic vampires, telepathic children and an evil hotel, it takes itself surprisingly seriously. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema. Odem Theater Pub

FORD V FERRARI: A real-life underdog racing

story from the director of “Logan,” starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, is a pretty good pedigree and somehow the movie is even better than it sounds. Just a fun, old-fashioned movie about highly competent adults being awesome and going fast. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

HARRIET: It only took 150+ years to make a mov-

ie about Harriet Tubman—which goes to show you that white guilt works very slowly. Luckily the remarkable Cynthia Erivo plays Tubman with unforgettable grace. At least the film is finally here, I suppose. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

We were able to raise over $45,000 to help women and children re-write their family story.

JOJO RABBIT: A comedy about Nazis shouldn’t work. It should actually be offensive and kind of awful, but “Jojo Rabbit” not only works, it is one of the finest films of the year. Heartwarming, heartbreaking and hilarious all in the same scene, this is a stone cold classic. See full review on p 35. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub

Thank You for Your Support!

JOKER: Massively controversial before it was even released, “Joker” takes a run at the origin story for one of pop culture’s biggest villains and gives him a soul. Not deserving of all the bile, this is a comic book movie that flirts with controversy while etching out its own dark territory. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX LAST CHRISTMAS: This has a weird pedigree. Co-written by Emma Thompson, directed by Paul Feig, and apparently, it has some super-bizarre and ridiculous twist ending. All this for a very generic looking Christmas movie? OK, well now I guess I gotta see this one. Do I have to be sober tho? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL: I know it’s cool

to make fun of these movies, but Angelina Jolie is putting in the work to give a soul to one of Disney’s most iconic villains, and the visuals are some of the craziest and eye-popping ever put to film, so maybe popular opinion will change. These should be the high watermark going forward for Disney’s live action movies. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MIDWAY: A WWII action movie from the director

of “Independence Day” and a bunch of other disaster movies? A cast featuring Woody Harrelson, Dennis Quaid AND a Jonas Brother? Endless scenes of CGI planes dogfighting each other while inspirational music plays in the background? Shut up and take my money. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

PAIN AND GLORY: One of the finest directors of

all time is the master Pedro Almodovar. This is his new movie starring Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz. RUN to the theater to see it. Seriously, Almodovar has a new movie! Why aren’t we watching this right now?!? Tin Pan Theater

PLAYING WITH FIRE: John Cena is a fireman who

has to take care of some rascally kids who teach him why he never had kids in the first place. Wait. No? OK, I guess it’s about the warmth and joy of family or something like that. Ugh. Well, I guess John Cena is charming. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE: So, this is easily the best “Terminator” movie since the second one, but that’s not saying a whole bunch since the last few have been hot, recycled trash water. It’s nice to have Linda Hamilton back, but the movie just feels like something that would have been better in the 1990s. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema, Odem Theater Pub THE ADDAMS FAMILY: Oscar Isaac was born to play Gomez Addams in a live action movie, but an animated one will have to do. This should be a visually stunning bit of weirdness if they keep things dark enough to see how creepy the Addams family really is. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE GOOD LIAR: I mean, a con artist movie starring Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren is kinda what movies are all about: watching brilliant artists create characters from the inside out and surprise us with a good story. “The Good Liar” is a bit ridiculous, but it’s one hell of a story. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP: As faux-edgy as the original felt, this belated sequel feels like an endless string of dad jokes set to some fancy zombie gore. Not terrible, not good, but somewhere in between lies this lifeless (heh) and inert sequel. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

STREAMING THIS WEEK “PRODIGAL SON” There’s been a ton of serial killer shows over the last few years, but none of them have Michael Sheen playing a serial killer called The Surgeon. It’s good creepy fun and entirely too addicting, plus Jesus from “The Walking Dead” is the star! No downsides.

35 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 47 / NOVEMBER 21, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

lmost every time I get hyped up for a movie, I walk out disappointed—especially if the hype gets to me months before a movie comes out. I have all that time to marinate in my expectations, and I always imagine something much grander than what I get. When I heard that Taika Waititi, the beautiful mind behind “What We Do in the Shadows,” “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” and “Thor: Ragnarok,” was making a satire about Nazis, I got unreasonably excited. This time, however, “Jojo Rabbit” not only lived up to my expectations but exceeded them by being something completely different than what I imagined. The premise is simple: Jojo is a lonely 10-year-old boy living in Nazi Germany toward the end of WWII. His father is serving in Italy but is missing and his older sister has recently died of influenza. He lives with his incredibly kind mother, Rosie (a flawless Scarlett Johansson), but spends most of his time talking to his imaginary friend Adolf Hitler (Waititi). See, Jojo loves being a member of the Hitler Youth. He’s fascinated by fascism, is terrified of Jewish people and basically looks at Hitler like he’s a rockstar. If everything in life is predicated on love or fear, Jojo is a cute little ball of love being subsumed by his fear into being something he’s not. He’s been fully indoctrinated into a group of evil men and women, but he’s still young enough to not be ruled by the hate and fear so prevalent in the Nazis. This movie might not be enough for some people. Obviously, we still have a Nazi problem in 2019 and I’m a strong

Taika Waititi raises the middle finger to fascism in “Jojo Rabbit.”

believer in punching Nazis in the face whenever given the opportunity, but “Jojo Rabbit” takes the complete-opposite approach. In the world of “Jojo Rabbit,” Nazis are cartoonishly incompetent buffoons. They’re nothing to be afraid of and, while there’s something very satisfying about the “Inglourious Basterds” method of scalping Nazis and asking questions later, it’s also immensely cathartic to defang them completely. When you make a megalomaniac feel or look small, it sends them into a rage that violence doesn’t come close to touching. Look how angry Trump gets when people make fun of his baby hands. It doesn’t matter if he has tiny hands or not; what counts is the foaming insecurity it creates in bullies. Waititi has empathy for every living soul in his films, Nazi or otherwise, because

he fights against the dehumanization the Nazis hoped to instill in every man, woman and child. Within a single scene, I found myself uncontrollably laughing and crying because of how pure the film’s stance against hate and violence is. I’ve never seen such a confident tightrope walk between tones, as the script balances on a razor wire of hilarity and profound sadness and pathos. It’s delightfully absurdist and does everything it can to get audiences to laugh directly in Hitler’s face with cutting satire, reminiscent of “Dr. Strangelove” modulated by the warmth and tenderness of something like “Moonrise Kingdom.” Here’s why “Jojo Rabbit” is important, not just in 2019 but for decades to come: it takes down the idea of prejudice itself and reduces it to an idea that

seems woefully ridiculous, ignorant and dead. Our grandkids could watch this movie and be reminded of how absurd and terrifying life could be in less-enlightened times. The film looks to a better future even as it unforgivingly won’t let us forget our past. Our world has a history of hate, and “Jojo Rabbit” reminds us that without empathy, compassion and humor, we are doomed to remain mired in darkness. Waititi reaches out and appeals to the best in us, reminding us our collective humanity has the power to defeat hate while laughing at the tiny hands of the smallest men. Jojo Rabbit

Get off the Couch and Curl

Bend Curling Club promotes the sport in Central Oregon By Damian Fagan Chet Liew

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 47 / NOVEMBER 21, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Members of the Bend Curling Club take a moment at The Pavilion to gather and reflect on the joy of their sport.

he closest many people have gotten to the sport of curling is by watching matches during the Winter Olympics on TV, maybe thinking “I think I can do that.” With the opening of The Pavilion ice rink in 2016 and the founding of the Bend Curling Club, that distance from couch to ice has narrowed. “I had never curled before The Pavilion opened,” said Jason Burge, president of the Bend Curling Club. “I had watched curling for a very long time, and so when The Pavilion was built a friend was signing her husband up and she said he needed some teammates to join his team, so I said, ‘Curling’s here? Cool!’” Prior to The Pavilion opening, Tom Pietrowski, BCC’s first president, joined Bend Ice, an advisory committee to the Bend Park and Recreation District, which represented curling, hockey and figure skating interests. “Immediately after The Pavilion

opened, a few of us recognized the need to form a curling club, and we started with 24 members right off the bat,” said Pietrowski. Four or five of those original members became Level 1 certified instructors through USA Curling to instruct and develop curling programs with BPRD. “I’d conservatively say that over the past four to five years we’ve introduced 500 to 600 people to the sport of curling,” said Pietrowski. Burge likens curling to “chess on ice.” Though instructors can teach someone to push off from the “hack” to throw a “stone” within an hour, it takes longer to understand strategy. “Fundamentally, I can teach you how to move the chess pieces and then we can play a game, but it may take a lifetime to master that game,” said Burge. Basically, two teams of four players slide eight heavy granite stones or “rocks” across the ice, known as the curling sheet, toward a circular target

at the other end identified as “the house.” The house consists of four concentric rings. Stones closest to the center, known as the button, score points. The stones don’t necessarily travel in a straight line and may follow a curved path. This movement gives the sport its name: curling. A match

sport is it’s a gentleperson’s game,” said Burges. “You celebrate the success of the other team just as much as you do your teammates.” Curling is also an adaptive sport, with players unable to bend down using a long-handled pole to push the stone from the hack toward the house. Burges said the current club has Courtesy Bend Curling Club

consists of eight or 10 “ends,” sort of like innings in baseball. “The Pavilion does a great job of allocating ice time,” said Burge. Besides the Sunday curling league with 44 teams, BPRD also offers Learn to Curl sessions on Friday mornings with instructors from the curling club teaching the sport to beginners. For other newbies, BCC’s Saturday night Beginner’s League mixes advanced curlers with those new to the sport. Following the Beginner’s League, the club has ice time for its own league. “One of the great things about the

about 55 to 60 members, not counting the beginner group. As interest in curling grows, BCC is investigating having its own dedicated curling facility. “You have to build membership first because that is what is going to support having our own ice over time,” said Pietrowski. That growth is built one stone at a time. Bend Curling Club bendcurlingclub.com

Owyhee Canyonlands Have a Chance!

A new bill from Oregon’s senators seeks to protect one remote part of the state By Jim Anderson Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Nevada and enters Oregon in what is now Owyhee County in the southeastern part of the state. Our family had the supreme pleasure of floating the river one time starting from Rome. Even at my old age of 91, that adventure still lives in my heart. At every bend of the river, as towering volcanic cliffs knocked our eyes out, I couldn’t help but envision the enormous glaciers from the last Ice Age gouging out the beautiful canyons we floated through—and what a horrible sight it would be if oil, gas or gold were to be discovered there. Now, if all goes as hoped in the federal government’s land decisions, the Owyhee Country may end up protected from the runaway greed of man,

By creating the bill, Wyden and Merkley have proposed that all the users of the land, including wildlife and scenic interests, ranchers, tribal cultures, hunters and bird-watchers will have a say in what happens to the land. Before we take a look at the Wyden/Merkley act, let me tell you a little about the Owyhee Country, starting with the name. If it sounds Hawaiian, it’s because it is: “Owyhee” was once the correct spelling for the State of Hawaii. Back in 1819-1820, members of Donald MacKenzie’s Snake Country Expeditions were Hawaiians, commonly known as “Kanakas.” They were looking for gold and whatever else they could take from the Shoshone/Bannock Indians who called that part of Oregon home. Three members of the party were left in what is now the Owyhee River area to do some fur-trapping and to look for things of value. MacKenzie had made arrangements to meet them near the Boise River, but they never showed up. It wasn’t until the spring of 1820 that the party went back to look for their missing members. Resident people showed them a skeleton, thought to have been one of the Kanakas. The river today bears the name Owyhee, honoring the three men who vanished, but in my opinion, it should be named for the original people who the Kanakas found living there. But I guess that’s the way it was when the settlers were naming things. The source of the Owyhee is in northeastern Idaho. It runs past the

and our grandchildren’s grandchildren can see what we’re seeing today. The bill is known as the Malheur Community Empowerment for the Owyhee Act (Malheur County C.E.O.s Act). The key word in that title is “community.” It isn’t just the pristine area of the Owyhee that would be protected, but all the land within Malheur County, which includes grazing lands. In Sec. 2. Definitions, this statement ensures the protection of all lands: “Defining adaptive management that will allow ranchers and the BLM to iteratively manage rangeland in Malheur County, this bill sets up a modern and robust Monitoring Network for the federal lands in Malheur County to ensure the adaptive management leads towards greater health of the land.” The key to ensuring wise and balanced use of the land is the “Monitoring Network.” Unfortunately, in times past, monitoring was not in the program, and for that reason thousands of acres of prime greater sage-grouse habitat were destroyed and turned into cow pastures, which was not in any way beneficial to grouse. By creating the bill, Wyden and Merkley have proposed that all the users of the land, including wildlife and scenic interests, ranchers, tribal cultures, hunters and bird-watchers will have a say in what happens to the land.

regon’s two senators, Sen. Jeff Merkley and Sen. Ron Wyden, have taken the land conservation bit in their teeth and are running with it to protect the Owyhee Country from rack and ruin. The two Democratic senators have co-written a bill named the “Malheur Community Empowerment for the Owyhee Act.” In doing so they have stuck their necks out with legislation that would not only protect the gem of the Oregon High Desert, but also provide many opportunities for Oregonians living in Eastern Oregon to see their land preserved. There’s a long road ahead to get this legislation passed, and many hurdles to overcome, but today the bill has reached a milestone, decades in the making.

Camping on the Owyhee River.

This statement by Wyden and Merkley ensures the bill will have those protective qualities: “It also creates the Malheur Community Empowerment for Owyhee Group (Malheur C.E.O.s) consisting of local ranchers, environmental organizations and tribal representation to advise on the Monitoring Network as well as the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement that will analyze present conditions of the land as well as the effects of future adaptive management of the land.” The Oregon Natural Desert Association has worked hard at bringing protection to the Owyhee. Its representatives have said, over and over, “In our modern age, the Owyhee

Canyonlands are truly in the ‘middle of nowhere.’ It is an area that is the farthest away from a major highway— and a McDonald’s—in the U.S. Cell phone signals are nonexistent. In the coming decade, scientists say it may become one of the only places to view the night sky and the Milky Way in the lower 48 without light pollution.” And they remind us that “progress” may destroy it all: “While remoteness has long protected the Owyhee, development pressure—including mining and oil and gas development—is now clawing at its edges. Before these forces take hold, let’s have the foresight to protect the Owyhee’s wild rivers, life and beauty for generations to come.”

Proposed mandate would shine a light on home energy use the burden of extra costs for sellers, HES exemptions could be available to homeowners experiencing financial hardships. The in-home assessment can be completed in an hour, turnaround time for results is short and can often be received the same day. Since, under the CCAP proposal, the score must be completed prior to the home being listed for sale, there is no disruption to the closing process or timeline. The score provides tangible results based on objective data collection—which isn’t dependent on weather conditions or temperatures— and any human error mistakes are limited due to quality control checkpoints within the software. Consumers are already accustomed to seeing nutritional information labels on their food, the yellow Energy Guide on appliances and miles-per-gallon and emissions information identified on new vehicles. These labels allow consumers to understand what is in a product and how the product will perform. The HES scorecard provides a snapshot of the home’s current energy performance and allows a homebuyer to understand how efficient the home is while also highlighting recommendations on how to cost-effectively improve a home’s energy score and lower home energy costs. The seller is never required to complete any upgrades to their home. For consumers, this energy disclosure will provide transparency and easily understood data, protecting the buyer’s “Right to Know” and helping them make an even more informed decision with their home purchase, as well as a direct, realistic comparison between homes.

he City of Bend’s Climate Action Steering Committee has been diligently working on the Community Climate Action Plan, which will help guide the City—and the community—in pursuit of goals to reduce fossil fuel use by 40 percent by the year 2030 and by 70 percent by the year 2050. The Bend City Council will soon vote on its adoption. A proposed mandate of the CCAP is to implement a Home Energy Score program that would require every home that goes on the market in Bend to provide a home energy assessment and score based on energy use and efficiency. The scoring system was developed in national laboratories by the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s described by the DOE as “an easy-toproduce rating designed to help homeowners and homebuyers gain useful information about a home’s energy performance.” The Home Energy Score uses a simple 1-to-10 scale, where a 10 represents the most energy efficient homes. Concerns about requiring a mandatory score include high assessment costs, unreliable test data, long turn-around times disrupting real estate sales and lack of qualified assessors in our area. These concerns deserve some clarification. In cities such as Portland, Oregon, and Austin, Texas, where mandates have already been implemented, they’re finding that home inspectors can easily become certified, and many individuals have seen this as an opportunity to create new jobs. In Portland, where the number of HES assessors has increased, the costs of the audit have been driven down to an average of $150 to $175. Concerning

estranged friend of mine was engaged to and dumped 25 years ago. She completely broke his heart. She’s been engaged eight times, married five, so I hardly think he was special. But some of my girlfriends think it’s not cool and say I’m breaking “girl code.” Am I betraying her? —In A Quandary When you put your old couch out on the curb, you don’t get to make a bunch of restrictions about who can pick it up: “Free sofa!* *Except for that hussy Linda and her nasty sisters.” It is cruel to take up with a guy who’s just dumped and devastated a friend of yours. But this woman is your ex-friend, and it isn’t like she’s lying in the dark, weeping over a sock he left at her place. In fact, they were engaged 25 years ago, and she dumped him. Yet, here you are, having “girl code” invoked on you. “Girl code,” like “guy code,” is a deterrent to would-be mate poachers, powered by peer pressure. However, girl code tends to play out differently from guy code. Psychologist Joyce Benenson, who researches evolved sex differences, finds that males, from early childhood on, are verbally and physically direct with one another in a way girls and women are not: “Bro, that’s my girlfriend you just dissed. You’re gonna need directions to the ER.” Women, on the other hand, are covert competitors, undermining rather than openly attacking their female rivals. Benenson and other researchers believe this strategy evolved so women could avoid physical violence, which could harm their reproductive parts or leave them incapable of fulfilling their role as their children’s primary caretaker. Women instead use sabotaging tactics like informational warfare -- the threat of reputation-destroying gossip -- and social exclusion. Referencing “girl code” is part of this, revving up a woman’s fears of being ostracized and creating a virtual moat around a man. Unlike in the male world of “Fight Club,” where the rules are clear -- ”The first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club” -- the rules of girl code are nebulous, unspoken. Because women compete in sneaky and undermining ways, this nebulousness makes potential transgressions of girl code more dangerous and powerful. So in deciding whether to continue with this guy, you should understand

that there could be real costs for you for being thought to have violated girl code. Can you weather those costs? Is it worth it to continue with this guy? Focus not on what’s fair but on what’s realistic. Some women will talk trash about you -and never mind the fact that the guy was dumped decades ago by a woman who swaps out her husbands more often than most of us replace the kitchen sponge.

Driving Miss Crazy I’m a 32-year-old woman, and I

went on one date with a guy I’d been talking to online. We have texted some since our date but haven’t made solid plans to hang again. Basically, he’ll text me and we’ll chat, and then I won’t hear from him for a week. The waiting is making me really obsessive. I find myself constantly wanting to text him. Amy Alkon I know I shouldn’t chase him, but the urge is so strong. What’s going on? —Disturbed Sometimes, when two people get engaged, the intended groom is the last to know. The guy asks you, “So, whatcha up to Saturday? Wanna grab a coffee?” And you’re like, “I thought we’d have an afternoon wedding. But coffee’s fine, too.” It should help to understand that this sort of crazy -- the intense desire to text him -- doesn’t come out of some magical, vine-covered mental love fountain within you. In fact, there’s nothing romantic about it. It’s just the mechanics of our human motivational system, which works like a machine. Russian psychologist and psychiatrist Bluma Zeigarnik discovered that just as pressure in a machine builds up and needs to be released, tasks we’ve left incomplete seem to cause emotional tension -- seriously uncomfortable feelings, a sort of mental itching. This motivates us to do the thing we’ve left undone so we can stop feeling so unsettled. So, sure, you like the guy, but one date in, you’re dying to text him not because he’s “the one” but because you’re suffering through what I like to describe as the emotional version of a really bad need to pee. Reminding yourself that it’s just psychological hydraulics might help you weather the discomfort of not texting and then be all cool when the guy eventually calls: “Jason? Jason who? ... Oh, right! Heyyy! Hold on a sec,” you say, as you descend the ladder and put down the glue roller you’ve been using to wallpaper your bedroom ceiling with huge blown-up photos of his face.

Got a problem? Write Amy Alkon, 171 Pier Ave. Suite 280, Santa Monica, CA 90405, or e-mail AdviceAmy@aol.com (advicegoddess.com).

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Cecilia Woloch

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian composer Ludwig van Beethoven was inclined to get deeply absorbed in his work. Even when he took time to attend to the details of daily necessity, he allowed himself to be spontaneously responsive to compelling musical inspirations that suddenly welled up in him. On more than a few occasions, he lathered his face with the nineteenth-century equivalent of shaving cream, then got waylaid by a burst of brilliance and forgot to actually shave. His servants found that amusing. I suspect that the coming weeks may be Beethoven-like for you, Sagittarius. I bet you’ll be surprised by worthy fascinations and subject to impromptu illuminations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During the next eleven months, you could initiate fundamental improvements in the way you live from day to day. It’s conceivable you’ll discover or generate innovations that permanently raise your life’s possibilities to a higher octave. At the risk of sounding grandiose, I’m tempted to predict that you’ll celebrate at least one improvement that is your personal equivalent of the invention of the wheel or the compass or the calendar. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history. Philosopher Georg Hegel said that. But I think you will have an excellent chance to disprove this theory in the coming months. I suspect you will be inclined and motivated to study your own past in detail; you’ll be skilled at drawing useful lessons from it; and you will apply those lessons with wise panache as you re-route your destiny. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his own time, poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882) was acclaimed and beloved. At the height of his fame, he earned $3,000 per poem. But modern literary critics think that most of what he created is derivative, sentimental, and unworthy of serious appreciation. In dramatic contrast is poet Emily Dickinson (1830– 1886). Her writing was virtually unknown in her lifetime, but is now regarded as among the best ever. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to sort through your own past so as to determine which of your work, like Longfellow’s, should be archived as unimportant or irrelevant, and which, like Dickinson’s, deserves to be a continuing inspiration as you glide into the future.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Humans invented the plow in 4,500 BC, the wheel in 4,000 BC, and writing in 3,400 BC. But long before that, by 6,000 BC, they had learned how to brew beer and make psychoactive drugs from plants. Psychopharmacologist Ronald Siegel points to this evidence to support his hypothesis that the yearning to transform our normal waking consciousness is a basic drive akin to our need to eat and drink. Of course, there are many ways to accomplish this shift besides alcohol and drugs. They include dancing, singing, praying, drumming, meditating, and having sex. What are your favorite modes? According to my astrological analysis, it’ll be extra important for you to alter your habitual perceptions and thinking patterns during the coming weeks. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What’s something you’re afraid of, but pretty confident you could become unafraid of? The coming weeks will be a

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The word “enantiodromia” refers to a phenomenon that occurs when a vivid form of expression turns into its opposite, often in dramatic fashion. Yang becomes yin; resistance transforms into welcome; loss morphs into gain. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you Geminis are the sign of the zodiac that’s most likely to experience enantiodromia in the coming weeks. Will it be a good thing or a bad thing? You can have a lot of influence over how that question resolves. For best results, don’t fear or demonize contradictions and paradoxes. Love and embrace them.

CANCER (June 21July 22): There are Americans who speak only one language, English, and yet imagine they are smarter than bilingual immigrants. That fact amazes me, and inspires me to advise me and all my fellow Cancerians to engage in humble reflection about how we judge our fellow humans. Now is a favorable time for us to take inventory of any inclinations we might have to regard ourselves as superior to others; to question why we might imagine others aren’t as worthy of love and respect as we are; or to be skeptical of any tendency we might have dismiss and devalue those who don’t act and think as we do. I’m not saying we Cancerians are more guilty of these sins than everyone else; I’m merely letting you know that the coming weeks are our special time to make corrections.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Erotic love is one of the highest forms of contemplation,” wrote the sensually wise poet Kenneth Rexroth. That’s a provocative and profitable inspiration for you to tap into. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re in the Season of Lucky Plucky Delight, when brave love can save you from wrong turns and irrelevant ideas; when the grandeur of amour can be your teacher and catalyst. If you have a partner with whom you can conduct these educational experiments, wonderful. If you don’t, be extra sweet and intimate with yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the follow-up story to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, our heroine uses a magic mirror as a portal into a fantastical land. There she encounters the Red Queen, and soon the two of them are holding hands as they run as fast as they can. Alice notices that despite their great effort, they don’t seem to be moving forward. What’s happening? The Queen clears up the mystery: In her realm, you must run as hard as possible just to remain in the same spot. Sound familiar, Virgo? I’m wondering whether you’ve had a similar experience lately. If so, here’s my advice: Stop running. Sit back, relax, and allow the world to zoom by you. Yes, you might temporarily fall behind. But in the meantime, you’ll get fully recharged. No more than three weeks from now, you’ll be so energized that you’ll make up for all the lost time—and more.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Most sane people wish there could be less animosity between groups that have different beliefs and interests. How much better the world would be if everyone felt a generous acceptance toward those who are unlike them. But the problem goes even deeper: Most of us are at odds with ourselves. Here’s how author Rebecca West described it: Even the different parts of the same person do not often converse among themselves, do not succeed in learning from each other. That’s the bad news, Libra. The good news is that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to promote unity and harmony among all the various parts of yourself. I urge you to entice them to enter into earnest conversations with each other!

asks, “How to un-want what the body has wanted, explain how the flesh in its wisdom was wrong?” Did the apparent error occur because of some “some ghost in the mind?” she adds.
