EDITOR’S NOTE:

Starting on Friday, expect climate change to be the words of the week. For many people, it’s already the topic of the century—but it’s getting special focus with the advent of the first Youth Climate Summit in New York, followed by the U.N. Climate Action Summit beginning Sept. 23. The U.S. president is not expected to attend. Look to this headline from The Nation for indication of the esteem and importance afforded to the U.S. as it relates to climate change: “Can the rest of the world save itself from climate breakdown without the U.S.?” This week, as the U.N. Summit looms, we’re dedicating our feature pages to stories published as part of the Covering Climate Now partnership—a collaboration among some 250+ news outlets worldwide. Central Oregonians can take part in the Sept. 20 Bend Strike for Climate—a demonstration replicated in cities worldwide this week—as a way to raise the issue locally. The Bend event begins at 4pm at Peace Corner, at 1133 NW Wall St. Also check out the Central Oregon Conservation Summit happening Sept. 28-29; more info at envirocenter.org. While the president may elect not to participate in this massive effort, Americans are not sitting still—nor are we.

he topic of suicide in Deschutes County can conjure any number of unpleasant images. The county had the fifth-highest rate of suicide in the state in 2018, according to county officials, while being only the seventh-most-populous county that same year. You have no doubt heard stories of people successful in their attempts, right here in the local area—perhaps involving a young person you knew or loved. But as Suicide Prevention Month continues throughout September, here’s a bright spot: A tremendous increase in participation and local focus for a resource aimed at young people. Last week, Mel Butterfield, Central Oregon regional coordinator/youthline crisis intervention specialist for the nonprofit organization Lines for Life, gave a hopeful presentation in front of the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners about the dramatic increase in participation of the YouthLine. YouthLine, available since 2000, is a statewide hotline Oregon teens can call to get help in a crisis, or, from 4pm to 10pm, to talk to another teen about what they’re experiencing. (Adult volunteers are available other hours of the day.) Young people can call the line at 877-968-8491 or text 839863, or chat or email by visiting oregonyouthline.org. In September 2018, Lines for Life announced the expansion of YouthLine in Central Oregon. That initiative opened up opportunities for Central Oregon teens to volunteer on the crisis line or to take part in outreach in schools. Based on the numbers provided at last week’s meeting, the initiative is having an impact.

Lines for Life hired Butterfield last August to begin outreach. Butterfield told the Source that in less than one year, YouthLine representatives have presented 36 lessons, visiting 17 area schools and distributing 11,200 pieces of material. In July, six Central Oregon teen volunteers and an intern in counseling from Oregon State University-Cascades began working on the local crisis line, and YouthLine is still recruiting more. All told, the efforts locally have had a serious impact. Butterfield told the Source that from August 2018 to August 2019, they’ve seen an over 500% increase in contacts from youth in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties reaching out for help. Mind you, the line was available to local teens before this—but it’s clear the local outreach has been instrumental. It’s been good not just for the teens who contact the line, but for the volunteers looking for opportunities not always available in less-populated areas outside the Willamette Valley. For example, teens who volunteer with YouthLine here can obtain certification in youth mental health first aid—something usually only offered to adults, Butterfield explained. “Students along the I-5 corridor have a lot of resources, and they do things in a certain way, Butterfield said, while students in more rural areas ask, “Why can’t we do that?? This is one of those opportunities.” Lines for Life is a private nonprofit funded by grants and private donations—but its initiative in Central Oregon is an example of how investing in local information-sharing could make a difference across any number of agencies, public or private, conducting business that has the potential to impact people’s lives. Lines for Life gets the smiley face emoji for seeing that.

E-BIKE TRAIL ACCESS IN RESPONSE TO: OPINION, 9/12

Dear Ms. Vulcan: The position that “Allowing e-bikes on trails opens up recreational opportunities for disabled or elderly riders” may sound reasonable and even compassionate, but in the real world, riding a bike on natural terrain at a speed only an Olympic athlete could match is a dangerous idea for disabled or elderly riders. I’ve had the pleasure of riding Bend’s trail network many times and while not the most technical terrain, your trails are tricky. A flat tire 4 miles from the trailhead is an inconvenience for a mountain bike rider. It could be a life-or-death situation for disabled or elderly riders. A crash at 15 miles per hour (that may

sound slow, but it is flying on a mountain bike) could impact a disabled or elderly rider for the rest of their lives.

This article struck a nerve, and, it seems, my last one. The lead-in paragraph started my boil: I found myself yelling out loud “FOUL!” The smarmy imagery from the first paragraph (setting the tone for the entire piece) is that all of us neighbors of growers fall into the category of horseback-riding prima donnas, uptight conservatives with no meaningful role or place at the table of balanced opinions. This is insulting, to not only the horses, but to all of us—the community of agricultural property owners, parcels large and small. We’re people with many thoughts and feelings about the hundreds of acres of new growing plants and people now our neighbors. This type of commentary (masquerading as coverage of a county board of commissioner’s meeting) is beyond the pale. Unnecessarily contributing to polarization within a community already struggling to manage change and emergent agricultural issues about water, lighting, and other impacts we now must adapt to without rancor. Biased reporting makes me wonder what’s the point if even the Source Weekly can’t set the example for us to eagerly follow? Where are the anti “anti-marijuana T-shirts” needed to fill the gallery? I’d buy one. Please have them available before the November 2020 vote. I don’t have a dog in this fight, I want to support my neighbors. (Visibly, if they could redirect those lights off my property so my dog doesn’t bark at night and get me in trouble). It’s up to the voters now—as it should be. —Amy Birmingham, A Wanna Be Supporter

ELEGY

Thank you for your coverage of the art opening dealing with suicide at Peterson Roth Gallery. It’s an important topic that does not receive enough coverage. Art is awareness, and music is as well. In 2017, I wrote the song, Elegy, after learning two high school students (in Bend and Redmond) had both taken their lives the same day. I felt devastated and wrote it in two hours. I recently recorded “Elegy” at Lino Alessio’s studio in Sisters. I am using this song to create more awareness about teen suicide, bullying, and to support the local nonprofit, Younity, who works to stop bullying in schools. This is an effort to build community and cultivate hope and healing through music. A beautiful image of a butterfly was created for this project by Sisters artist, Paul Bennett. And it features Leah Naftalin of Shady Groove on violin. We can make a difference in our community by getting involved. https://victorsingslove.bandcamp.com/ track/elegy —Victor Johnson

CONGRESS MUST CARRY OUT ITS CONSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPEACH WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS NECESSARY NOW!

If any other American had obstructed justice as Trump has, they’d be going to jail. By letting Trump get away with his corruption and stalling on holding him accountable, Congress sends a dangerous message to the American public. It’s time they act. During Mueller’s testimony in July, he confirmed the results of his investigation: 37 indictments, at least 7 convictions and guilty pleas, and more than 10 episodes of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump himself. Given all of the evidence, I don’t understand at this point why our representative still hasn’t voiced their support for a formal impeachment inquiry. No one should be above the law in our country. Period. I don’t care who you are—if you’re the CEO of a company or the president

of the United States of America. Donald Trump must be held accountable, just like any other American would be. If it had been anyone else who obstructed justice as blatantly as Trump did, they’d be behind bars. Some people say that we shouldn’t pursue impeachment because there are so many other issues to deal with. What about health care? Gun control? Climate change? Immigration? And to these people, I say: our lawmakers can address these issues and pursue an impeachment inquiry at the same time. That’s what we pay them to do. It’s time for our representative to join the 130+ other members of the House and support a formal impeachment inquiry now. —Craig Smith

County Zoning Proposal Sparks Concerns WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / SEPTEMBER 19, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Religious freedom, wildlife protection rules at odds? By Hilary Corrigan

Deschutes County proposal to allow churches in areas zoned to help deer, elk and antelope has a land use group and a state agency concerned about the impacts on wildlife that need undisturbed tracts of land for habitat, food and migration. A proposal before the county planning commission seeks to change the county’s comprehensive plan text and land use regulation, aiming to comply with the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. The proposed changes would alter the word “church” to “religious institutions” and add “religious institution” as a new use in certain zoning districts. “We just have to comply with federal law,” said Nicole Mardell, an associate planner with the county. The U.S. Congress adopted RLUIPA in 2000 over concerns that land use and zoning regulations sometimes burdened religious groups and limited their ability to express their religious freedom, while other groups such as assembly halls and museums did not face the same burden, according to county planning division materials on the issue. Based on concerns at the county level that First Amendment rights were being infringed upon, the county tried to change its zoning and comprehensive plan in 2017 to allow churches in the wildlife area combining zone—special zoning districts with standards meant to help conserve important wildlife areas in the county.

The risk of a lawsuit from a property owner prompted the county to address the issue at the countywide scale. The nonprofit Central Oregon LandWatch challenged the move and the state Land Use Board of Appeals called for more analysis. A separate 2018 county land use decision that approved a church on private property zoned for farm use in a wildlife area combining zone relied on the possibility that someone could bring a lawsuit related to RLUIPA. The state affirmed that decision and the county then decided to audit the rest of its code to ensure it complies with RLUIPA. At a Sept. 12 public hearing, several people from the La Pine and Sunriver area said that they want to expand their places of worship, and that such growth would not impede wildlife habitat or migration corridors. Deer move through housing in the area now, they argued, and any decreases in population numbers more likely stem from predation by cougars. Deer and elk in the region have done well and adapted to humans—using neighborhoods as a pseudo sanctuary, Jon Harris, manager of facilities at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in La Pine, stated in written comments. “There’s plenty of room for them and there’s plenty of room for us,” Harris said at the hearing. County planning division material noted that allowing religious institutions where they previously were not

allowed could concentrate groups of people, increasing noise and light near fish and wildlife habitat, causing negative impacts and harming certain species. It also noted testimony from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife that mule deer populations have declined up to 70% since 2000—in part from habitat reduction, fragmentation and disturbance on winter range. In a letter last month, ODFW urged the planning commission to reject the change that would allow religious institutions in wildlife area combining zones and for the county to develop an alternative to comply with RLUIPA that preserves the intent of the Goal 5 planning process. Part of Oregon’s statewide land-use planning achieved through local comprehensive planning, Goal 5 refers to natural resources, scenic and historic areas, and open spaces—including wildlife habitat. The agency has previously noted that resources meant to be protected through zoning are under increasing pressure from a growing human population. And uses that remove wildlife habitat and create barriers to animal movement have long-term, negative consequences for wildlife. The agency has pointed to its estimates of mule deer populations at 40% to 50% of state targets—with deer declines as high as 70% in some parts of the county—and the need for a coordinated, community-wide effort to curtail the trend. Central Oregon LandWatch argued that the proposed change “goes beyond protection of free exercise to entwining government with religion in a manner that prefers religion over irreligion and confers special benefits on it.” The county could comply with RLUIPA by either allowing religious assemblies, or by continuing to prohibit all assemblies in winter range

and specifying that the prohibition applies to churches, assemblies, institutions or membership organizations similar to a church. “The County will comply with RLUIPA as long as it treats religious assemblies on equal terms with secular assemblies,” COLW stated. And that means specifying that assemblies are all excluded from winter range for the same reason—noise and habitat disruption. “It has nothing to do with religion,” COLW Staff Attorney Carol Macbeth said at the Sept. 12 hearing. COLW also argued that the U.S. Constitution’s Establishment Clause bars against favoring churches or expressing a preference for religions. Under the Establishment Clause, “if churches are permitted in the deer winter range, all secular assemblies must be permitted also,” the group stated. “Just as RLUIPA prevents discrimination against churches, the Establishment Clause prevents favoritism toward churches,” COLW stated, adding that the county must pursue a course of neutrality toward religion. The Oregon Hunters Association also opposed the change, saying that critical winter range just outside the city has disappeared at an alarming rate and forced deer to forage in city limits. More unchecked human development increases the collisions between wildlife and vehicles, the association added. “It is more important than ever to protect habitat from the disruption and degradation associated with assemblies of people,” the association stated, calling deer as much a part of Central Oregon as the Three Sisters Mountains and Deschutes River. The planning commission will further consider the issue at a Sept. 26 meeting before making a recommendation to the board of county commissioners.

Cleaning up the Caves

Grafﬁti removal project targets Boyd Cave in the Deschutes National Forest 7

By Damian Fagan

Drew Pick

A volunteer sandblasts graffiti inside Boyd Cave.

A shaft of light illuminates Boyd Cave, its condition already improved by volunteers.

“There are some real challenges to sandblasting in cave environments because of high humidity, total darkness and fogging of the protective gear while sandblasting,” said Marchington. “It’s a lot more challenging than working in a well-lit commercial shop.” Nissen added that since Boyd Cave opened to the public, his hope was that people will appreciate seeing unmarked caves. “Hopefully, this project will shed a positive light and help mitigate the propensity of marking the caves,” said Nissen. “We wouldn’t be able to do this cleanup without the help of our partners and we value their involvement greatly,” said Turner. “We have a very unique resource here with our caves and we hope the users will respect and help protect this fragile environment for future generations to come.” To report vandalism, call the U.S. Forest Service at 541-383-5300.

fragile,” said Laurie Turner, USFS wildlife biologist. “They are a non-renewable resource. So, if something happens in a cave, it doesn’t bounce back like what we’d see above ground.” Nissen said that before Wanderlust began leading tours in 2003, staff hauled out 585 pounds of trash from Boyd and Skeleton caves that year alone. Nowadays, trash is minimal, but spray-painted graffiti has always been a problem—especially in Boyd Cave, which is open all year. Wanderlust and COVA both donated $1,000 for equipment and supplies. A crew of Wanderlust and OHDG volunteers worked the weekend of Sept. 7-9, hauling in buckets of a chemically inert blasting medium quarried from the Willamette Valley, along with work lights, air hoses, compressors and tarps to collect the blast medium, which was hauled out of the cave and sifted for reuse. Volunteers inside the cave wore protective clothing and respirators, while a lone volunteer remained outside the cave entrance to inform visitors that the caves were closed for sand blasting and safety.

It’s very fulfilling all these years later to head up a project that gets rid of the graffiti.” Wanderlust Tours owner Dave Nissen and Chief Operations Officer Jeff Gartzke, along with OHDG, proposed a graffiti removal project to the U.S. Forest Service, which manages the China Hat area. Before Deschutes National Forest staff issued a Categorical Exclusion that allowed the project to move forward, they evaluated the sand blasting technique, conducted a survey for cultural properties and provided wildlife guidelines aimed specifically at protecting bats. “Most people don’t realize that caves and cave environments are very

Using commercial sandblasting equipment, volunteers from the Oregon High Desert Grotto, Western Cave Conservancy and Wanderlust Tours tackled the challenging job of removing graffiti from Boyd Cave along Forest Road 18, also known as China Hat Road. Sections of the cave, from floor to ceiling, have been tagged by vandals with obscenities, images and names over the years throughout the cave’s 1,860-foot length. A large “NINJA” in black letters greeted visitors just inside the cave entrance. “I’ve been crawling through these caves since I was a teenager, so I have a pretty good idea of what’s going on out there,” said Neil Marchington,

The Silenced: Meet the climate whistleblowers muzzled by Trump

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / SEPTEMBER 19, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Whistleblowers and ex-government scientists describe how the Trump administration made them bury climate science – and why they won’t stay quiet By Oliver Milman This story originally appeared in The Guardian. It is republished here as part of the Source Weekly’s partnership with Covering Climate Now, a global collaboration of more than 250 news outlets to strengthen coverage of the climate story. The U.N. Climate Action Summit begins Sept. 23, with the Youth Climate Summit—the first of its kind—beginning Sept. 21.

rom weakening vehicle emissions to blocking warnings about how coastal parks could flood or the impact on the Arctic, the Trump administration is accused of muzzling climate science. Here six whistleblowers and former government scientists describe being sidelined by the administration – and why they won’t be quiet. Jeff Alson Role: A former senior engineer at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s vehicles lab in Ann Arbor, Michigan What did the work involve? “I was an engineer at the EPA, working for 40 years in a very technical job. In 2009, after the election of Barack Obama, the EPA started working on greenhouse gas standards for vehicles for the first time. It felt like we were making history. “There was a team of around 25 people producing thousands of pages of analysis for the standards. We knew it would be controversial but it was a very big deal, the first critical steps to address the climate crisis.” What changed under the Trump administration? “Once Trump was elected it became pretty clear that things would change. The president came out to Michigan in March 2017 and gave a speech where he said he’d look at the standards, that they hurt economic activity and jobs. That was an obvious sign, really. “In August 2018 the administration proposed an eight-year freeze of the greenhouse gas standards. It was unbelievable, really – for the first time in the history of the EPA the political leadership decided to change pollution standards that were doing well without allowing the career staff and experts to play any sort of role. We were completely locked out. “There was no scientific or technical rationale to rolling back the standards, the analysis they used was the most biased thing I’ve ever seen.

They cooked the books and changed every assumption they could to get the answer they wanted. It was so bad that some EPA career staff asked their bosses to take the EPA name off it all.” Maria Caffrey Role: Worked on climate change at the National Park Service (NPS) What did the work involve? “I was studying how climate change will affect 118 coastal parks in the U.S. for the National Park Service. I started this work in July 2013, it was my baby.” What changed under the Trump administration? “My study went through peer review and was ready to be released but I was told by the NPS a few days after Donald Trump’s inauguration that they were ‘waiting for messaging’ first. I thought that was no big deal but then nothing happened and I started calling up every few weeks to say, ‘We’ve got to get this out, it’s getting stale.’ “The excuses varied but became ever more vague, such as ‘we are ever so busy’ or that it would worry people during hurricane season because it mentions storm surge in coastal areas. A superior said they wanted to keep a low profile on climate change for four or maybe eight years while Trump was around, which really upset me because we don’t have four to eight years to do nothing. I felt I was being silenced. “I went on maternity leave around Christmas 2017 and the report still hadn’t been released. I got an email from a colleague saying, ‘Congrats on the baby, by the way you should know they are editing your report.’ “We had a conference call and it became clear that any mention of human-caused climate change had been taken out. I was asked how I would feel if they didn’t release the report at all, which felt like a threat. I stood my ground and was told ‘they aren’t going to be happy about this from above.’ It was never clear who ‘they’ were – perhaps Trump himself or Ryan Zinke [the then secretary of the interior]. “I then had a meeting with a senior NPS official who came out from Washington, DC. The other report co-authors were there, too. That’s when it all unravelled, it became incredibly hostile. I was told not to attribute changes in public lands to human actions.

Chris Frey Role: A professor of environmental engineering at North Carolina State University, Frey was chairman of the EPA’s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee and a member of the agency’s Science Advisory Board. He left in 2018 What did the work involve? “The Clean Air Science Advisory Committee (CASAC) is required to inform the EPA administrator over air quality standards, if they are sufficient to protect public health or not [under the Clean Air Act]. The EPA’s Science Advisory Board is a much larger committee that takes on all sorts of things – clean water rules, vehicle greenhouse gas standards, rules about transparency and so on.” What changed under the Trump administration? “Initially there was a neglectful relationship with the new Trump administration; they seemed uninterested and the amount of scientific advisory board work dropped off. Then, from October 2018, there were the first signs of the ideological assault on scientific advice at the EPA. “Scott Pruitt [then administrator of the EPA] wrote a memo that said that researchers that have received grants from the EPA aren’t allowed to serve on panels because of a perceived conflict of interest. But there was no prohibition on industry people serving and the number of them on the panels has increased. It’s been a way to kick qualified people off the boards and get cronies in their place. “There was a complete turnover of CASAC and it shows in meetings. They now bumble through things because they don’t understand the process and the Clean Air Act. Political appointees are interfering with the selection of candidates, essentially picking those sympathetic to the agenda of the administration, even if they have fringe views like climate change isn’t happening, that kind of stuff. Joel Clement Role: An expert on the impact of climate change on the Arctic at the Department of the Interior What did the work involve? “I was at [the department of the] interior for nearly seven years. I started on 3 January 2011 – I know the exact date

because of how excited and inspired I was at the thought of serving in the federal government. I was hired as a senior executive to run the office of policy analysis, which sits in the office of the secretary. “One of the main areas of focus was addressing the impacts of climate change in the Arctic, which is warming two to three times faster than the rest of the planet. Entire Alaska native villages are threatened by rapid coastal erosion and storms because they no longer have a sea ice curtain to protect them from fierce Arctic storms in the fall and early winter, and the ground beneath their feet is falling away as the permafrost thaws.” What changed under the Trump administration? “The new Trump team was very thin and most of them knew very little about the agency mission – they were mostly oil and gas lobbyists and some campaign workers. Whatever they were talking about up on the secretary’s hallway, it sure wasn’t being shared with the career staff at the agency. So you basically had 70,000 employees scratching their heads and getting back to doing their jobs while a couple dozen political appointees tried to get their act together to lead them. It was surreal. “But this neglect soon turned into scorn, characterized by comments from the new secretary, Ryan Zinke, that the staff were disloyal. Morale began to quickly plummet as the political ranks showed not only ignorance of, but disdain for the wide-ranging agency mission. Here you had tens of thousands of people working hard in public service and being told what they do is not important. “The National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service had it worst because they didn’t have anything to do with oil and gas or mining permitting process, and the lobbyists in charge had no interest in wildlife, conservation or biodiversity. “But every agency suffered, because the mantra of the administration was to drain the swamp – and it quickly became clear that the swamp was not the high-paid lobbyists, but the rank and file government professionals who serve the country. “On a Thursday night in June, just a week after I’d been in New York to speak at the United Nations about climate change adaptation issues, I received an email that said I was being moved to a new position.

Americans are waking up:

Two Thirds Say Climate Crisis Must be Addressed

Major CBS News poll released as part of Covering Climate Now, a collaboration of more than 250 news outlets around the world to strengthen coverage of the climate story

This story originally appeared in The Guardian. It is republished here as part of the Source Weekly’s partnership with Covering Climate Now, a global collaboration of more than 250 news outlets to strengthen coverage of the climate story. The U.N. Climate Action Summit begins Sept. 23, with the Youth Climate Summit—the first of its kind—beginning Sept. 21.

wo-thirds of Americans believe climate change is either a crisis or a serious problem, with a majority wanting immediate action to address global heating and its damaging consequences, major new polling has found. Amid a Democratic primary shaped by unprecedented alarm over the climate crisis and an insurgent youth climate movement that is sweeping the world, the polling shows substantial if uneven support for tackling the issue. More than a quarter of Americans questioned in the new CBS News poll consider climate change a “crisis,” with a further 36% defining it as a “serious problem.” Two in 10 respondents said it was a minor problem, with just 16% considering it not worrisome at all.

More than half of polled Americans said they wanted the climate crisis to be confronted right away, with smaller groups happy to wait a few more years and just 18% rejecting any need to act. “Americans are finally beginning waking up to the existential threat that the climate emergency poses to our society,” said Margaret Klein Salamon, a clinical psychologist and founder of the Climate Mobilization Project. “This is huge progress for our movement – and it’s young people that have been primarily responsible for that.” But while nearly all of those questioned accept that the climate is changing, there appears to be lingering confusion over why and scientists’ confidence over the causes. There is a consensus among climate scientists that the world is heating up due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels for electricity generation and transportation, as well as cutting down forests. However, just 44% of poll respondents said human activity was a major contributor to climate change. More than a quarter said our impact was minor or nonexistent.

CBS research finds ideological differences in attitudes to the climate crisis

There is an even starker split on the findings of climate scientists. According to the CBS poll, 52% of Americans say “scientists agree that humans are a main cause” of the climate crisis, with 48% claiming there is disagreement among experts. “This remains a vitally important misunderstanding – if you believe global warming is just a natural cycle, you’re unlikely to support policies intended to reduce carbon pollution, like regulations and taxes,” said Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication,, which has made similar findings in its own, long-running polling. “These results also again confirm a long-standing problem, which is that many Americans still believe scientists themselves are uncertain whether human-caused global warming is happening. “Our own and others’ research has repeatedly found that this is a critical misunderstanding, promoted by the fossil fuel industry for decades, in order to sow doubt, increase public uncertainty and thus keep people stuck in the status quo, in a ‘wait and see’ mode.” Similar to previous polls, the CBS research finds sharp ideological differences in attitudes to the climate crisis. While nearly seven in 10 Democratic voters understand that humans significantly influence the climate and 80% want immediate action, just 20% of Republicans think humans are a primary cause and barely a quarter want rapid action. On the science, nearly three-quarters of Democrats said almost all experts agree that humans are driving climate change, with just 29% of Republicans saying the same. Age is another key variable. While 70% of 18- to 29-year-olds think climate change is a serious problem or crisis, just 58% over 65 concur. Younger people are far more likely to consider it a personal responsibility to address the climate crisis and to believe that a transition to 100% renewable energy is viable. Young people have been galvanized by climate science being taught in schools as well as a spreading global activist movement spearheaded by Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager who started a wave of school walkouts to demand action. Thunberg recently arrived in the U.S. on a solar-powered yacht, ahead of a major United Nations climate summit in New York on Sept. 23.

This generational divide even cuts across party affiliation, with twothirds of Republican voters aged under 45 considering it their duty to address the climate crisis, according to the CBS poll. Just 38% of Republicans aged over 45 feel the same. “Younger Republicans are much more convinced climate change is a crisis and are supportive of action than older Republicans – which has big implications for the future of the party,” said Leiserowitz. Around three-quarters of all respondents said they understand that climate change is melting the Arctic, raising sea levels and causing warmer summers. A further twothirds accept that hurricanes will be made more severe by global heating. Hurricane Dorian, which recently devastated parts of the Bahamas, made 38% of Americans more concerned about the climate crisis, with 56% unswayed. Leiserowitz said that the relationship between extreme weather events and concern over climate change is a complex one, with people already worried the most likely to say that their alarm has increased when a major storm or flood hits. Regardless of concern over climate change, there appears to be skepticism among Americans about how much humans can do about it. Just 19% said humans can stop rising temperatures and the associated impacts, with nearly half thinking it possible to slow but not stop the changes and 23% refusing to believe humans can do anything at all. This may well influence the views of leading presidential contenders’ climate plans. Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders, for example, has proposed a rapid remodeling of society where planet-warming emissions from transport and power generation are eradicated within just 11 years. “By saying we should merely slow and not reverse global warming, we are passively accepting the deaths of billions of people,” said Margaret Klein Salamon, of the Climate Mobilization Project. “The only thing that can protect us is an all-out, all-hands on deck mobilization, like we did during the second world war. Avoiding the collapse of civilization and restoring a safe climate should be every government’s top priority – at the national, state, and local levels.”

A Lifetime in the Making

The Jess Ryan Band is releasing its debut album–something the lead singer has always had set in motion Isaac Biehl

Submitted

ou’ve probably already seen them play at many locations around Central Oregon and heard her iconic voice, but The Jess Ryan Band is about to do something it hasn’t done yet: release an album. Made up of James Hutchens, Joshua Hernandez, Patrick Bedard, Andrew Lyons and, of course, Jess Ryan, the band recorded the album over six months at Featherlight Studios in Bend. The group made sure to make the most of its time in the studio, releasing an album that extends beyond just rock music. At times it’s jazzy, slightly punk, slightly folky and always fun. My personal favorite is “Love Me Love Me Not.” Ahead of the band’s release show at Volcanic Theatre Pub, the Source Weekly chatted with Ryan about the album and her experiences with music.

The Jess Ryan Band celebrates its first album this Friday.

Source Weekly: What was the recording process like for you? Did you have most of the songs written? Jess Ryan: Yeah, definitely. We had all the songs written. At that point we had the hard discussion of which songs do we want to be on the album, and as a band, we kind of deliberated on that. But we were also really open to the idea of exploring and adding new layers and depths to those songs in the studio. We were looking forward to that part. SW: I imagine it was fun to get in there and play around with material? JR: Exactly! And I love Steven! He’s the main guy over there at Featherlight Studios. He was like, ‘we’re gonna record

everything, AND the kitchen sink!’ Which is great, because I love that, like, ‘let’s hear as much as we can.’ He encouraged this environment where we could explore and try different things. And it turned out really well, I think. SW: Throughout the album you have this balance of these really jazzy and rocky sounds, and it’s cool to see you guys switch it up on basically every song. JR: That was one of the things we talked about. Were we going to have some theme with the songs? Were these songs too different from one another? Is it going to be a cohesive album? But in the end we chose songs that, you know, this is what we’re writing, this is who we

are. We’re not easily defined or pigeonholed into one category. And I like that the album reflects that. SW: One thing with your voice, it was impressive to see you extend it to such different spots. Have you been singing for a long time? JR: I remember when I was kid, like singing in the backyard at the top of my lungs and getting told to, like, shut up because I was being obnoxious or annoying people [laughs]. But yeah, I was in choir in junior high school. Growing up, whenever somebody asked me what I wanted to be I always said I wanted to be a singer or an actress. It was recently brought to my attention when

I told someone that, they were like, ‘well you are! You’re doing both things.’ I’m not currently doing theatre, but the theatrics are there in our performance. James, our guitarist, will always say I’m “hamming it up.” But I can’t help but get into it. It’s just who I am. SW: Who were some of your influences growing up, as far as singing goes? JR: I started listening to Ani Difranco when I was 15. She was a huge influence on me...I was really drawn to all the rocker chicks. Fiona Apple; I really like her. SW: Are you excited about the release show coming up? JR: I am so excited! My mom is coming from Arizona and I think a bunch of our friends are gonna be there. I mean, this is something I’ve wanted to do my whole life, record an album. I do believe that everything happens in perfect time, space, and sequence. For me, it’s like, I had to do certain things. Experience, and travel and love and feel heartbreak—and all these things led me here in Central Oregon with these guys. This band, these guys that I play with—I’ve waited to find them and be with them to do this. I am so honored to work with them.

Artist Fact Sheet: Dorothy Martin

Market of Choice is hiring!

The frontwoman of rock band Dorothy packs a punch

13 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 38 / SEPTEMBER 19, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

By Isaac Biehl Submitted

Stream Dorothy’s latest album, “28 Days In The Valley,” on Apple Music or Spotify.

ver since the debut album “ROCKISDEAD” released in 2016, Dorothy has been providing music listeners with head-banging tunes, letting the masses know that rock is, in fact, not dead. Fronted by Dorothy Martin, the band blew up on the scene when the album hit number five on Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums chart. Both “Raise Hell” and “Dark Nights” made it to the Top 40. It would make sense as to why Jay-Z saw promise in Dorothy, signing the band to his label, Roc Nation.

To quote Jay-Z’s lyrics, “I’m not a businessman—I’m a BUSINESS, man.” What really makes the band stand out is Martin being such a vocal powerhouse. Before the band takes The Domino Room stage, learn a bit more about Martin and what makes her sing in this Artist Fact Sheet. Dorothy & Diamante

Last Stand in the Sand

Volleyball courts’ last hurrah includes a party and informal tournament By Nicole Vulcan

Nicole Vulcan

The iconic “stacks” of the Old Mill District loom over the sand volleyball courts Monday.

“The plan is to be up and running at one if not both locations at the beginning of May,” Ellis told the Source. He declined to confirm any prospective sites the club may be exploring. Quinn Keever, a park planner with Bend Park and Recreation District, said she’d attended several meetings with club representatives aiming to find a new home for sand volleyball in Bend, but that BPRD didn’t have a sand volleyball project budgeted or planned out in its current five-year plan. Keever identified Pine Nursery Park as a potential site for the courts, pending an engineer’s review.

ARTWATCH

“We’re very much in the feasibility stage,” Keever said. A group of volleyball enthusiasts working together under the name Bend Beach Volleyball originally fundraised and built the courts in 2009, explained John Kelly, one of BBV’s original players. Eventually, the group turned the management of the courts over to a competitive league, and ultimately to NPJ. “Our whole point when we built them was to prove that there was a demand for volleyball—and there is—especially in summers and on

weekends,” Kelly said. “It’s worked quite well. Now we are at phase 2.” The current summer—technically ending this week—will be the last season for the sand courts, Kelly said. Before any “phase 2” commences, Kelly and others are planning a barbecue andtournament, inviting people to come to the courts Saturday, Sept. 21, as a final “thank you” to the Old Mill District and a celebration of 10 good years at the site. Registration for the tournament begins at 8:15, at $20 per player. Email r.reveles@icloud.com, or visit the Bend Beach Volleyball Facebook page for more info.

Helms is one of many artists selling at October’s 20-Dollar Art Show

rowing up in the Ozarks, Monica Helms found a world of magic just outside her door. Her days were spent watching animals and marveling in the wonder that is nature. Her first education was at a Montessori school where the teacher took the students on walks every day, pointing out the natural world around them. When they returned to class, the teacher asked the students to draw what they saw. For Helms, it was the beginning of what she does now: painting the natural world in specific and exacting ways, while also capturing the romance and poetry of her subjects.

or some, they’ve been the site of many a family pick-up game. For others, they’re a spring and summertime training ground. But soon, the courts just south of the Les Schwab Amphitheater will be the former home of Bend’s largest—and nearly only—outdoor sand volleyball complex. A representative from the Old Mill District confirmed Monday that after 10 years, it would be reclaiming the space, requiring the four sand volleyball courts to relocate. The only other outdoor courts in Bend are two courts, located at Mountain View High School, which aren't open to the public. “At this point, we don’t know what’s going to happen with the space,” Old Mill District/Les Schwab Amphitheater Marketing Director Noelle Fredlund told the Source Weekly Monday. She said they have a number of possible development options for the space, but nothing solid. Fredlund acknowledged that the company is exploring remodeling the adjacent amphitheater, but that’s separate from any plans for the current court space. “It’s been wonderful that we’ve gotten 10 years out of it, but it was always a temporary use,” Fredlund said. Adam Ellis is the owner and club director of North Pacific Juniors Volleyball Club, which uses the courts as a practice ground in the warmer months for the more than 125 young athletes in the club. NPJ covers insurance for the courts and has maintained the agreement with the Old Mill District for use of the current space for the past several years. The club has already stopped practicing outdoors for the season—but come late spring, Ellis hopes to have built new courts in two prospective locations.

Painting by Monica Helms.

Helms’ studio is tucked in the back of Bright Place Gallery. There she explores color and mediums that help her bring the natural world she so deeply loves to life. “Just like a writer writes, I’m just kind of cataloging it onto paper,” says Helms. Her work often depicts flora and

fauna from the local environment, even depicting endangered animals. Helms uses paints and inks on paper and canvas to create impressionistic, colorful work. Helms’ love for the natural world is palpable. “When you love something, you kind of hope that other people love it, too.

You are hoping that other people appreciate it and value it and protect it,” shares Helms. These days she loves exploring how the paint and inks move on the canvas as much as she loves the subjects of her painting. After viewing Helms’ work, it’s difficult to not come away loving the natural world yourself—something Helms hopes happens to viewers. “I hope there is little bit of life in my art that allows someone to go, ‘Maybe I didn’t know I could love that before but maybe I can love it,’” shares Helms. Some of Helms’ work will be for sale at the annual 20-Dollar Art Show sale at Bright Place Gallery on Oct. 19. Monica Helms

A SPOTLIGHT ON THE PEOPLE OF CENTRAL OREGON

A Community Thread: Dorian Allstot

“We’re really good at pushing ourselves to damn near annihilation and then learning from that and coming back and then doing the same thing again.” —Dorian Allstot

Inviting a range of perspectives; bridging a gap between people from different walks of life By Joshua Langlais Editor’s note: Joshua Langlais is a local photographer and the creator of A Community Thread, a project for which he interviews folks on the subject of community, its importance, and how we function as individuals within it. This is an excerpt from his interview with Dorian Allstot, who describes himself as a seeker of life experiences and someone who aims to liberate himself and those he cares about from poverty and oppression. A Community Thread: What concerns you about the state of the world and humanity? And what inspires you or motivates you to do something about it? Dorian Allstot: What concerns me the most is the lack of understanding and the weird bubbles of ignorance and the lack of willingness to have compassion and understanding for someone outside your own perspective. It’s not so much that these things shouldn’t happen. It’s not so much that all this ignorance and the huge dichotomies between what one person sees to the other and the inability to find compromises. I can understand that. What concerns me the most is our ability to reconcile that before we hit an event horizon. We’re really good at pushing ourselves to damn near annihilation and

then learning from that and coming back and then doing the same thing again. But at this point in the world, there is so much destruction going on and so much capacity for destruction just based upon people’s lack of understanding. But I’d very much like to see what would happen if we could get to that point, learn from it, and then what we look like after that. What concerns me is the possibility of not getting to see that. We’re pretty much in the generation that gets to watch everything get torn apart and live whatever life [we] have left in the remnants of us fizzling out. I find myself in a lot of different circles and a lot of different places and interacting with people I’d never guess myself to interact with and now interacting with people I feel super at home with. I have the ability to, in my personal life, do little things to bridge that gap to understanding. And there’s things that can be brought to light— just these simple conversations with your interactions—that kind of help people broaden their understanding. It’s not that those things aren’t valid—that you’ve been mistreated or ostracized or marginalized by certain people—but to take away that

projection that you have because of those experiences and still understand that those are people and be able to see them more as people as opposed to this projection. Through conversing—through allowing people to meet with people they otherwise wouldn’t have the chance to meet with, through offering different perspectives I gained—that might cause somebody to be like, “Oh, shit. I never thought that.” And that makes them just a little bit more human. It might not totally 180 their perspective, but there’s at least some kind of seed—regardless of how much we might clash—of, “You are still a person.” In that same kind of sense, “You matter.” ACT: What does our inability or refusal to consider all the different needs and inequalities mean to you? DA: That’s instant terror for a lot of people. Even though we’re more globalized than we’ve ever been at any

point in history, there is still a heavy, heavy tribalism mentality that goes on in virtually every level. Communities get split so heavily between different groups, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing at all, but it is when it becomes an “In” group versus “Out” group kind of thing. There’s such a strong tendency to clique up. It’s really crazy strong. Everyone’s so enraptured in their own needs and also not sure what they want, but know they don’t have what they want and they’re so concerned with trying to fill whatever that is. People would rather go with the familiarity of “This is what I want” even if it’s a total lie to them as opposed to not having anything to cling onto at all and be like, “What if I don’t know what I want?” or “If it’s not this, then what is it?” People just like being, through fear, stuck in their own bubble. There is a stubbornness about it. Read or listen to the entire interview at acommunitythread.com.

Sustainable Sushi

By Nicole Vulcan

It’s how they roll at Tomo, where a new owner is focused on eco-friendly seafood

Alicia Wood Photography

By Richard Sitts

French-inspired pop-up dinner

Executive Chef Emerson Jespersen, left, and Tomo owner Jeremy Letter strive to source and serve only sustainable seafood at their south Bend restaurant.

The restaurant’s efforts have thus far not gone unnoticed in the seafood industry. Last month, Tomo was recognized by Seattle-based seafood distributor Ocean Beauty Seafoods. The company’s Portland General Manager Jack Whitney cited the restaurant for “working toward absolute excellence as they continue to stay resolved in their purchase of eco-friendly, smart, sustainable, and earth friendly usage, and purchase of smart-products promoting both the viability and longevity of a green planet for future generations.” Letter says Tomo also was recognized by the Marine Stewardship Council, an international nonprofit that certifies sustainable seafood. Submitted

“It’s difficult to navigate the global fishing industry,” Letter says. “It’s tricky at best.” Jespersen, who’s been working with sushi for at least 13 years, takes the lead in locating the restaurant’s sustainable fish. A recent rundown shows fish coming from the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, Scotland, China, Turkey and Spain. Jespersen says he’s mostly “selflearned” and keeps in constant communication with sushi chefs in Portland, Chicago, Denver and Japan. Working in such a high-stress vocation, he says he’s a firm believer in daily exercise and meditation. He also strives for nutritionally balanced dishes with proper portions of food groups on the plates he sends out. Among the changes under new ownership, one that Letter says may have shaken some customers, was the ending of the popular half-price sushi Monday nights. Letter says the practice had run its course, becoming stressful for both staff and customers. Since taking over ownership, he’s hired just a few new employees to complement the existing staff, who he considers an extended family. “I tell my team I work for them. In the Japanese culture, the CEO works for the employees. We have an extremely friendly staff that is like a family. We take things to heart here.” He says sustainability can sometimes be a “hard sell” to customers, but, “It matters to me. As far as I’m concerned, sustainable commerce is the only way to conduct commerce.” Tomo

Omakase (chef’s choice) with assorted sashimi is one of the specialty plates at Tomo in Bend.

The Jerk Kings trucks closing After five years of delighting customers with its Caribbean food (including winning several accolades in our Best Of contests) The Jerk Kings food trucks in both Bend and Redmond will soon be closing. Owner Zoë Ditmore said the Bend truck— located in the River’s Place lot near Costco—will have its last day Saturday, Sept. 21. The Redmond truck at Wild Ride Brewing will have its last day on Saturday, Sept. 28. Ditmore told the Source that after five years, they’re ready to do something besides run the food trucks. Next up for the business: bottling its sauces. Ditmore said she’s looking at “selling marinades and sauces so customers can take a little bit of us home with them.” Customers can still check in with The Jerk Kings at thejerkkings.com to find out where future sauces and marinades will be available.

ucked away in a strip mall on the east side of Third Street, Tomo can be easy to miss. The unassuming sushi restaurant has been a locals’ under-the-radar favorite for years and recently underwent a change in ownership. Portland native Jeremy Letter took over July 1, buying the restaurant from longtime executive chef Emerson Jespersen and family. “He’s why I bought this,” Letter says, pointing to Jespersen, quietly busy behind the counter doing his afternoon prep. “He and I are on this journey together,” Letter said. “No one can touch how and when we get our fish. It’s a grind, but a grind of passion.” The two are crusaders in arms for obtaining only sustainable seafood for the restaurant. According to its website, Tomo translates to “friend” in Japanese. The restaurant’s motto is “Sustainable Sushi—It’s How We Roll.” As an example of how that plays out, Tomo is not offering unagi (eel) on its menu right now, because it’s on Japan’s red list of endangered species. Letter moved to Bend this summer with his wife and son. “I started out as a pollution investigator for the U.S. Coast Guard,” Letter says. After five years, he worked for 18 years in environmental legal compliance, predominantly in the food industry. Along the way, Letter said he earned his MBA in sustainable business practices. “Sustainability never ends. It’s not a destination; it’s a never-ending journey,” Letter says. “With these practices, there should be no doubt that sustainable fishing in the future should be easy to reach.”

Bounty of the Hop Harvest By Zach Beckwith

Zach Beckwith

Fresh hops at BC Hop Farms in Woodburn, Oregon.

eptember means many different things to many different people. For parents, it means back to school. For local businesses it marks the end of the summer tourist season. But for Northwest brewers, it means only one thing: hop harvest and fresh-hop beers. Oregon’s Willamette Valley—along with Washington’s Yakima Valley and Northern Idaho—grow over 95% of the hops in the U.S. Many growers have tended their hop yards through multiple generations. The close proximity to hop fields has allowed Northwest brewers to build connections that are unparalleled in the rest of the country. This connection with hop growers manifests itself every fall with the abundance of freshhop beers produced in the Northwest. Fresh-hop beers are the last truly seasonal beer style, because unlike other styles that can be brewed any time of the year, fresh-hop beers can only be brewed during hop harvest. Hops contain a lot of moisture, so to prevent spoiling and to preserve precious oils they are kiln dried immediately after harvest. With freshhop beers, brewers travel directly to the hop fields to procure fresh hops prior to drying and then return to the brewery as quickly as possible to put the fresh hops directly into the beer. Because of the additional moisture content, brewers must use a much larger amount of fresh hops, anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds per barrel! Some brewers choose to “dry hop” with fresh hops in a brite tank; others, such as Portland’s Breakside Brewery, employ a method of freezing fresh hops with liquid nitrogen and shattering them before adding them to the beer. I’ve always found the best results come from utilizing the brewery’s mash tun as a giant hopback and running the fresh wort through a bed of fresh hops en route to the fermenter. Fresh hops must be used as quickly as possible after harvest, which presents a load of logistical challenges for brewers who must be ready to brew the beer

as soon as the farmer tells them a specific variety is being harvested. Central Oregon brewers also have to factor in a 6-hour round trip drive to the hop fields. Once harvest begins in late August, it runs 24 hours a day until all the fields have been picked at the end of September—which means harvest dates tend to shift around, depending on field conditions. Coming on the back of the busy summer season, fresh-hop beers provide a reaffirmation for brewers of the specialness of the place we live and helps to reinvigorate our passion despite the logistical challenges. The special connection to hop growers and proximity to hop fields means that true fresh-hop beers can only be brewed in the Northwest. It’s true that many hop brokers offer mail-order fresh hops to brewers all over the country but having a relationship with your UPS driver is different from having a direct relationship with your hop grower. Fresh-hop beers have already begun to appear on shelves and tap lists but tend to disappear quickly. The best chance to try a wide variety is at one of the many fresh-hop festivals held throughout the state, starting Saturday, Sept. 21 with the Hood River Hops Fest, continuing the following weekend with the Sisters Fresh Hop Festival Sept. 28 and Portland Fresh Hop Festival on Sept. 27 and 28. The season culminates Oct. 5 with Bend Brewing Company’s 3rd Annual Fresh Hops on the Pond.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic ANGEL HAS FALLEN: Gerard Butler kills things. Morgan Freeman is president. That one guy who’s always a bad guy is the bad guy. Nick Nolte looks like he got put away wet. Things explode. There’s a knife fight. It will make all the money... and next year we’ll get Arches Have Fallen, about a terrorist with flat feet. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

ONCE UPON A TIME…IN HOLLYWOOD: Either you like Tarantino or you don’t, and this big hearted and strange fantasy won’t change your mind. Simultaneously a love letter to 1969 Hollywood and a dirge for the loss of innocence those times stirred in us as a country, “Once Upon a Time” is a glorious cinematic treasure. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub

DARK PHOENIX: Hey, look, another adaptation of the “Dark Phoenix Saga,” a much beloved comic arc from the 1980s. I wonder if they’ll get it right this time? It can’t be worse than “X-Men: The Last Stand,” can it? Oh, sweet summer child. It can always get worse…especially in Hollywood. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub

OVERCOMER: That doesn’t really sound like a word. “Overcomer?” Is that a word? Sounds like a professional wrestler. This is from the faith-based filmmakers who brought you such hot garbage as “Fireproof,” “War Room” and “Courageous.” Maybe they should pray for a dictionary or some filmmaking talent. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond CInema

DAVID CROSBY: REMEMBER MY NAME: David Crosby is a legend and has had a life some of us can only dream about. He’s obviously going to be remembered. But what if this documentary is about all the drugs catching up with Crosby and he’s genuinely asking for help remembering his name? Tin Pan Theater

PAVAROTTI: Even if you don’t know opera, you’ve probably heard the name Pavarotti, the most famous tenor of all time. He makes everything sound good. He’s like the Barry White of opera. This is a documentary about his life. I bet he sings in it. Odem Theater Pub

DOWNTON ABBEY: The show ended with enough dangling threads to leave the possibility of a movie open and here it is. All the characters we know and love have returned making this an all-star…wait a second. I just figured it out. This is like “The Avengers” for people who like the aristocracy. I get it now. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

READY OR NOT: A young woman marries into the staggeringly rich Le Domas family—one with a few quirky traditions that won’t end well for anyone. The film is ultimately a very violent game of hide and seek and easily the most entertaining horror/comedy of the year. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub.

GOOD BOYS: This is basically “Superbad” but with tweens, which means the filthy language and situations are even funnier. I’ve seen some critics lamenting laughing about the corruption of kids in the film, but three 12-year-olds accidentally discovering a sex swing hits me right in the funnies. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK: Based on the book of short stories that gave me nightmares for years comes this mega-disturbing horror anthology from the director of “Troll Hunter.” The trailers look atmospheric and fun, so here’s hoping 2019 brings us another horror classic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

GLORIA BELL: Julianne Moore gives one of her finest performances as a woman who finds love at a time when she was searching for anything but something serious. A surprising and heartfelt little movie. Odem Theater Pub

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2: I never saw the first one because it looked like pain, but with a voice cast featuring Jason Sudeikis, Danny McBride, Peter Dinklage, Awkwafina, Bill Hader and Tiffany Haddish, I should probably get over it. I just don’t like birds… even when they’re angry. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HOBBS & SHAW: Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham take their characters from the “Fast and the Furious” franchise and spin them into another franchise that will then spin into another franchise until the entire world becomes an excuse for Vin Diesel to live life a quarter mile at a time. Big explosions and even bigger stupidity make this movie a fun headache. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX HUSTLERS: Jennifer Lopez and company bring us a movie about strippers with hearts of gold drugging and ripping off Wall Street dicks who helped ruin the economy. This is a surprisingly big hit already and a much better movie than the trailers would have us believe. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN: Based on the tear-jerking novel by Garth Stein, the film is sure to be even more tear-jerking. Told from the POV of a dog named Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner), this story will be sure to crush adults and children alike. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond CInema THE FAREWELL: A bittersweet and lovely dramedy about the lengths we go to for family and the ways different cultures say goodbye. One of the best films of the year so far and destined to go down as the funniest movie about grief ever made. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX,Odem Theater Pub, Tin Pan Theater

IT: CHAPTER TWO: While the movie is still quite fun and is filled with some bravura horror set pieces, it’s such an unwieldy mess that it’s hard to recommend. Bill Hader should be in more horror movies though. That guy’s got a future in the movie business. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema, Odem Theater Pub

THE GOLDFINCH: Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that I skimmed through several years ago comes a movie that got trounced by a movie about thieving strippers at the box office. It’s actually a very good story, but this adaptation seems to miss everything that was special about the book and just focuses on the big stuff. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE: It’s hard to really overestimate how influential Linda Ronstadt has been in the realm of music for over five decades. Here’s a documentary tracing her origin back to Tucson and follows her to Los Angeles and her pioneering work for women in the record industry. Sisters Movie House

THE LION KING: Look, I’m sure this movie is really pretty to look at and everything, but if it doesn’t have Jeremy Irons playing Scar, then I’m gonna make a hard pass. I’m sure I’ll see it at some point, but messing with perfection is never a good idea—even if it’s Disney messing with their own perfect ideas. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

OFFICIAL SECRETS: The fascinating true story of the woman who discovered the U.S. government was blackmailing members of the United Nations Security Council into supporting an illegal war in Iraq back in 2003. Keira Knightley is brilliant, so here’s hoping she finally gets the attention she deserves. Sisters Movie House

THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON: One of the sweetest movies ever made. The film follows a young man with Down syndrome following his dream to be a professional wrestler. Part Mark Twain and part southern gothic fairytale, “The Peanut Butter Falcon” is the textbook definition of a crowd pleaser. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Iron Sky: The Coming Race: The last vestiges of humanity fight moon Nazis across 90 minutes of pure blissful trash fire.

Mayday: Imagine a movie so poorly directed, acted, lit and written that you never once feel like enjoying yourself. During a flight from Los Angeles to London, people start disappearing one at a time. Only a sleepy looking Air Marshal can somehow stumble across what’s going on and perhaps save a few people. Sometimes a horror movie, kind of a mystery, mostly a comedy and always a wet fart, “Mayday” is maybe the worst movie ever put out by Da Box.

Attrition: Steven Seagal is the human embodiment of a pizza roll. As much as you think you like them, they’re never quite as good as you remember. His movies are terrible, he’s a horrible human being and he’s so out of shape now that he has stunt men doing the martial arts moves that made him famous. But I really can’t recommend anything more HIGHLY than getting so stoned you forget your self-loathing watching Seagal struggle to stay awake while giving speeches about the erosion of traditional values.

love bad movies—ones that are so bad it makes you want to re-examine your life choices and call someone who loves you; movies so incompetent that it’s hard not to have a smile on your face for the entire running time as you imagine the director deciding to take up a new career in reflexology or needlepoint…anything but filmmaking. Don’t get me wrong: brilliant, transgressive and game-changing movies are where it’s at, but sometimes sweet hot trash can soothe the soul. With that said, here are some really weird garbage movies available at your nearest Redbox right now. You can either take this article as a warning of movies to avoid or ones you need to go get right now, depending on how much you like the worst things.

Everyone Needs a Crew Eric Heinemann’s journey to completing the Leadville Series was capped off with a 100-mile run

GO HERE By Nicole Vulcan

Submitted

n January, we talked with Eric Heinemann, Easy Float’s first sponsored athlete, about his goal to complete the Leadville Race Series. Flash forward to now and the Bendite is officially a “Leadman.” To complete the entire Leadville Series, athletes have to finish five endurance races. There’s a regular trail marathon, the Silver Rush 50 mountain biking race, a 100-mile mountain bike race and a 10K run that sets you up for the big one: a 100-mile run through some of the toughest terrain a runner can face. “Dude, I finished it!” says Heinemann. “Just to have something driving me that’s a little bit more than just having it on your bucket list or whatever. I think if it’s just on your bucket list to do this it’s going to be a lot harder to finish. You really need something pushing you or motivating you.” For Heinemann, that motivation was his older brother Steve, who just turned 50. In an effort to raise awareness about schizophrenia and mental illness—which Steve has had for many years—Heinemann set out to accomplish this boundary-pushing goal. This allowed Heinemann to push through a discomfort he’s not accustomed to— something he knows his brother has to do every day. As of this writing, Heinemann has raised $3,325 through his Go Fund Me campaign. While he wasn’t worried about finishing the biking races, the 100-mile run was a daunting prospect, and the last one to complete. “People drop out of this race for so many reasons. Most of them are like gastrointestinal reasons—like you can’t hold down food, you’re throwing up or whatever. A lot of people don’t show up,” he says. “Apparently, 44% of people finished it [this year]. I’m thrilled. I didn’t know if it was really gonna happen at all, so just to finish the thing…” Other factors stopping people from finishing are the lack of sleep (the run begins at 4 am and you have 30 hours to complete it) and the numerous injuries one can acquire while running this kind of race, Heinemann said. But while he had some knee pains, blisters and swollen ankles, he completed the race in 29 hours, 35 minutes and 49 seconds, cementing himself as a Leadville Series finisher. A lot of meticulous planning goes into preparing for a race of this stature. Athletes need a crew (Heinemann’s wife Emmy and friends

Women can get a leg up on adventure.

AdventurUS encourages women to try new outdoor sports

Heinemann points to a dedication to his brother on his finisher's jacket, noting his time in the 100-mile mountain bike race.

Melissa and Brandon made up his), proper nutrition and equipment (headlamp, watch charger, trekking poles), an understanding of the cutoff times and much more. Heinemann scouted out much of the trail at one point or another, whether through the earlier events or during his rest days camping out in Leadville. “I’ve run into this a few times in life. Sometimes I feel like I studied or prepared way too much for something and I actually go do it, and I figure out I just scraped by,” laughs Heinemann. “I feel like this—I just barely did enough.” One thing Heinemann’s sure of now is that he couldn’t have done it without his team. “I’m a pretty rugged individualist. I like doing things on my own. I don’t know why, but it’s just my thing. I did a lot of training on my own. But you can have a pacer for the last 50 miles,

the second half. Were it not for those three helping me out I would absolutely have not finished the race,” recalls Heinemann. “My takeaway was, my brother is in New York; he’s on the other coast. I’m going to call him every two weeks on Sunday, at either five or six o’clock and he’ll just know it’s me. For the rest of life. It’s something he can rely on. It’s a teamwork thing.” In a way, Steve was the unseen member of Heinemann’s crew. For the whole 100 miles of that last race, Heinemann carried along a makeshift sign that read: “Race For Steve.” And now, Heinemann can continue on being a member of Steve’s crew— just with much less running involved. “He’s got more guts, grit and determination than most of the folks who crossed the finish line. But no one can do it alone!”

Next weekend, LOGE Entrada will be the home base for a group of women aiming to try their hands at some new multi-sport adventures. LOGE teamed with AdventurUs—a women-led company that encourages women from all backgrounds to engage in outdoor sports—for a weekend filled with hiking, climbing, mountain biking, paddle boarding and more. Even in an outdoorsy area such as Central Oregon, organizers say they know that getting the “right first-time experience” can be tough. At the Bend event, local guides will help participants learn new skills in a supportive environment. The event includes three nights at LOGE, meals, beverages, activities and equipment. “Partnering with The AdventurUs on these events was a natural and exciting opportunity for both brands to create a unique outdoor event that brings women of all backgrounds together to share their stories, push their comfort zones and try new things,” wrote Kirsten Evers, LOGE Camps VP of Marketing.

The wonder of outdoor creatures, inside the Sisters Library By Jim Anderson

Linda Ziegenhagen of Redmond tells the story of her unique photo/art of mountain bluebirds on display in the Community Room of the Sisters Library.

time to settle into learning about photographic techniques; the old film cameras were about gone and the present electronic age of photography was walking through the door. Linda says, “I love the challenge of learning about cameras, basic art composition etc. My first serious pursuit of and perfecting of my passion for photography started with my joining the Sisters Area Photography Club in 2004. “Up until then I was mainly shooting through just pure instinctive reaction to what/ how I chose to photograph something. I just trusted my eye.” Linda said her first serious photographic focus was trying to capture the unique images being created by interactions between early morning sunlight and the pre-prohibition bottles in Garth’s collection— the result being the bottle image shown on this page. “The early morning sun shining through the sliding glass doors did the rest,” Linda said. “Amazing…. exciting!” Linda says she follows the “KISS” principle when using her point-and-shoot camera, where KISS stands for “Keep It Simply Sensational.” Linda and Garth will be at the Sisters Library Community Room for a “Meet & Greet” from 3 to 6pm on Thursday, Sept. 26. There will be free cookies and plenty of time to soak up the talent of two of our local photographic/artistic woodworkers. Two of a kind…

artistic framing creation she and her husband, Garth, put together. The two are very talented wood artists who have come upon the idea of transforming old wooden treasures from Garth’s family’s past into the many beautiful creations supporting Linda’s magnificent photos. Right next to the butterfly is a work of art that took over a month to finalize; a composite of the family life of mountain bluebirds. The eggs are there along with growing nestlings, their parents bringing in the insects that keep the young happy. The beautiful wooden framing that holds it all together is another of Linda and Garth’s creations—one of a kind. Linda got to where she is today after spending her career teaching at District 2J in Redmond. She was born in Ashland, and in 1967, moved to Central Oregon during her senior year at Southern Oregon College—the former name of Southern Oregon University—where she was enrolled in the off-campus student teacher program. She met and married Garth while teaching, and in the following 32 years she and Garth raised their two kids. She slowly got into painting, which quickly turned into photography. The year 1999 was a good

ear readers, you’re in for a very special treat. All you have to do is arrive at 10am at the Sisters Library any day from Tuesday through Saturday, during regular business hours. As you walk up to the front entrance you can’t help but notice the huge, circular stained-glass art above the doors. That was done by Ann Cavanaugh a few years back, gifted by one of the stalwart members of the Friends of the Sisters Library, Marianne Fettkether, as a memorial to her husband. As you walk into the library hallway you’ll see a pile of the Source Weekly newspapers on the right. In the Community Room you’ll find the first of Linda Ziegenhagen’s breathtaking art pieces in the current show: a composite of a nesting Great Blue Heron on the coast. Right next to it is a portrait of an adult heron. You can’t help but notice the exquisite feathers on the herons in Linda’s photos. To the Native peoples, the feather is a powerful symbol that signifies honor and a connection between the owner, the Creator, and the bird itself. It symbolizes trust, honor, strength, wisdom, power and freedom. Also included in the show is a portrait of a blue butterfly Ziegenhagen shot at the High Desert Museum south of Bend.

Realtors Are Not Your Adversary Don’t shoot the messenger!

between brokers, buyers and sellers are offers and counter offers. Under NAR’s article 1, Standard of Practice 1-6, “Realtors shall submit offers and counter-offers objectively and as quickly as possible.” This includes offers a seller may find less than desirable. We’ve all heard stories of the “low-ball” offer. As a broker, when we receive offers that are substantially lower than our client’s hopes/expectations, it’s one of the more difficult phone calls to make or meetings to have. Just recently, I received an offer that was $100,000 less than the listing price. I presented the offer to the sellers, who in turn questioned me and became upset that I would have “the nerve to bring such an upsetting and low offer” to them. Why I would not have flat out rejected the offer and saved them the upset, they asked. While brokers understand upset and frustration, we’re legally and ethically bound to present all offers, no matter the terms as we receive them. Brokers are not under any circumstance able to filter offers and choose what to present or not to present, regardless of how the seller may react to them. It’s important to keep perspective during a real estate transaction. Understand that a real estate broker is acting as the messenger when delivering offers and broker opinions of market value. Brokers are bound by law and ethics to convey all news, even when it’s tough news to share.

hen involved in a real estate transaction, not all news is good news. While the goal for every real estate broker is a smooth sales process and the end result to be one that everyone is happy with, it’s important to remember there are certain things your realtor cannot control. In the last several months I’ve experienced some bumpy transactions with my clients, and some questions from a client prompted me to write this column. The National Association of Realtors has a strict code of ethics realtors are to adhere to. It specifically states in Article 1 of this code that “Realtors, in attempting to secure a listing, shall not deliberately mislead the owner as to market value.” In laymen’s terms, it means that we as brokers are to give a seller an accurate analysis of property value, regardless of whether the news is well received. We’re bound by this code of ethics to give the seller the most accurate pricing trends available. Essentially, even when brokers know the news may not be what a seller wants to hear about the home’s value, we’re obligated to report accurately. I can assure you that as a broker it’s not fun to deliver news to a seller that their property is not at the value expected, and to have a seller argue or question my capability as a professional to find a way to make their $400,000 home worth $550,000. Another example of situations that can be misconstrued as adversarial

There are points of difference that are simply a bridge too far—like if one partner enjoys shooting dinner with a crossbow and the other bursts into tears every time a short-order cook cracks an egg into a frying pan. However, there are three areas in which partner harmony seems essential to happy coupledom. If couples have clashing religious beliefs, political orientations, or values, “it’s found to cause tremendous problems in a marriage,” explained psychologist David Buss at a recent evolutionary psychology conference. Sure, there are couples with differences in these areas who make a go of it, but in general, the committed Catholic and the aggressive atheist go together like peanut butter and a leaf blower. Beyond the big three—shared religion, political orientation, and values—the notion that you and your partner need to be all matchy-matchy to be happy together just isn’t supported by science. In fact, a whole lot of science finds otherwise. Admittedly, the notion that partners should match like a pair of nightstands has powerful intuitive appeal—hitting us in our craving for consistency and order. This, perhaps, leads many people—including many psychologists—to buy into the blissof-the-clones myth, the notion that we’ll be happiest if we find somebody just like us. Not surprisingly, dating sites take advantage of this widely believed myth, hawking features like the “billion points of similarity” compatibility test. (Obviously, they can’t sell memberships with “Hey, it’s a crapshoot!”) Dating sites advertising themselves with a meaningless test might not seem like a big deal. But it reinforces the myth that partner similarity equals romantic happiness, and this belief has a real downside, according to research by psychologist Michael I. Norton and his colleagues. Consider that when we first meet a person, we get excited about all of our apparent similarities: “You like sticking up banks! I like sticking up banks!” At this point, and in the early days of a relationship, we’re prone to identify similarities where none exist, spinning ambiguities—vague or

missing details about a person—into support for their being just like us. But Norton explains that as partners get to know each other, dissimilarities begin to surface. And this leads partners who were initially stoked about how alike they seemed to be to become less satisfied with each other and the relationship. Interestingly, it seems that dissimilarity between partners actually gets an undeserved bad rap. Discovering this took more sophisticated methodology than used in previous research, in which scientists basically tallied up ways partners were alike and different and then looked at how satisfied they were with their relationship. Psychologist Manon van Scheppingen and her colleagues instead explored interactions Amy Alkon between romantic partners’ personality traits over an eight-year period. Their findings suggest that partners don’t have to match perfectly on traits; in fact, sometimes, their having differences is ideal. Take conscientiousness, a personality trait reflecting self-control and a sense of responsibility to others. According to the team’s research, if one partner was low in conscientiousness, their relationship worked better and they were happier when they were with somebody higher in conscientiousness. Likewise, relationships worked better when partners had varying levels of extraversion, rather than being two outgoing peas in a pod. The one distinct exception—where the researchers found similarity was consistently best—was for women only, regarding “agreeableness.” This personality trait plays out in kindness, cooperativeness, warmth, and concern for others. When a woman’s partner had a similar level of agreeableness, it was associated with the woman finding her partner more supportive. The upshot of this stew of findings is that happy coupledom seems to depend on an interplay of factors. This in turn suggests that what makes for happy relationships is largely “process”—how two people communicate, foster each other’s growth, solve problems, and manage the intractable ones. Beyond this and beyond the three vital areas where partners need to be in tune— religion, politics, and values—what seems important is for partners to not be sharply different in ways that will make them unhappy together. To avoid that, you need to dig into yourself and figure out what your deal breakers are. For example, if you’re an urban girl like me, no amount of love would change your belief that there’s only one reason to spend a month in a cabin in the wilderness without indoor plumbing, and it’s because you’ve been kidnapped and are tied to a chair.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1936, the city of

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1990, the New Zealand government appointed educator, magician, and comedian Ian Brackenbury Channell to be the official Wizard of New Zealand. His jobs include protecting the government, blessing new enterprises, casting out evil spirits, upsetting fanatics, and cheering people up. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to find your personal equivalents of an inspirational force like that. There’s really no need to scrimp. According to my reading of the cosmic energies, you have license to be extravagant in getting what you need to thrive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Do silly things,” advised playwright Anton Chekhov. “Foolishness is a great deal more vital and healthy than our straining and striving after a meaningful life.” I think that’s a perspective worth adopting now and then. Most of us go through phases when we take things too seriously and too personally and too literally. Bouts of fun absurdity can be healing agents for that affliction. But now is NOT one of those times for you, in my opinion. Just the reverse is true, in fact. I encourage you to

cultivate majestic moods and seek out awe-inspiring experiences and induce sublime perspectives. Your serious and noble quest for a meaningful life can be especially rewarding in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Before comedian Jack Benny died in 1974, he arranged to have a florist deliver a single red rose to his wife every day for the rest of her life. She lived another nine years, and received more than 3,000 of these gifts. Even though you’ll be around on this earth for a long time, I think the coming weeks would be an excellent time to establish a comparable custom: a commitment to providing regular blessings to a person or persons for whom you care deeply. This bold decision would be in alignment with astrological omens, which suggest that you can generate substantial benefits for yourself by being creative with your generosity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Actress and author Ruby Dee formulated an unusual prayer. “God,” she wrote, “make me so uncomfortable that I will do the very thing I fear.” As you might imagine, she was a brave activist who risked her reputation and career working for the Civil Rights Movement and other idealistic causes. I think her exceptional request to a Higher Power makes good sense for you right now. You’re in a phase when you can generate practical blessings by doing the very things that intimidate you or make you nervous. And maybe the best way to motivate and mobilize yourself is by getting at least a bit flustered or unsettled.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Syndicated cartoon strip “Calvin and Hobbes” appeared for ten years in 2,400 newspapers in fifty countries. It wielded a sizable cultural influence. For example,

ARIES (March 21-April 19): We’re in the equinoctial season. During this pregnant pause, the sun seems to hover directly over the equator; the lengths of night and day are equal. For all of us, but especially for you, it’s a favorable phase to conjure and cultivate more sweet symmetry, calming balance, and healing harmony. In that spirit, I encourage you to temporarily suspend any rough, tough approaches you might have in regard to those themes. Resist the temptation to slam two opposites together simply to see what happens. Avoid engaging in the pseudo-fun of purging by day and bingeing by night. And don’t you dare get swept up in hating what you love or loving what you hate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I tell you what freedom is to me: no fear.” So said singer and activist Nina Simone. But it’s doubtful there ever came a time when she reached the perfect embodiment of that idyllic state. How can any of us empty out our anxiety so completely as to be utterly emancipated? It’s not possible. That’s the bad news, Taurus. The good news is that in the coming weeks you will have the potential to be as unafraid as you have ever been. For best results, try to ensure that love is your primary motivation in everything you do and say and think. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some things don’t change much. The beautiful marine animal species known as the pearly nautilus, which lives in the South Pacific, is mostly the same as it was 150 million years ago. Then there’s Fuggerei, a walled enclave within the German city of Augsburg. The rent is cheap, about one U.S. dollar per year, and that fee

hasn’t increased in almost 500 years. While I am in awe of these bastions of stability, and wish we had more such symbolic anchors, I advise you to head in a different direction. During the coming weeks, you’ll be wise to be a maestro of mutability, a connoisseur of transformation, an adept of novelty.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Granny Smith apples are widely available. But before 1868, the tart, crispy, juicy fruit never existed on planet Earth. Around that time, an Australian mother of eight named Maria Ann Smith threw the cores of French crab apples out her window while she was cooking. The seeds were fertilized by the pollen from a different, unknown variety of apple, and a new type was born: Granny Smith. I foresee the possibility of a metaphorically comparable event in your future: a lucky accident that enables you to weave together two interesting threads into a fascinating third thread.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Every masterpiece is just dirt and ash put together in some perfect way,” writes storyteller Chuck Palahniuk, who has completed several novelistic masterpieces. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Leos have assembled much of the dirt and ash necessary to create your next masterpiece, and are now ready to move on to the next phase. And what is that phase? Identifying the help and support you’ll need for the rest of the process. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1959, scandal erupted among Americans who loved to eat peanut butter. Studies revealed that manufacturers had added so much hydrogenated vegetable oil and glycerin to their product that only 75 percent of it could truly be called peanut butter. So began a long legal process to restore high standards. Finally there was a new law specifying that no company could sell a product called “peanut butter” unless it contained at least 90 percent peanuts. I hope this fight for purity inspires you to conduct a metaphorically comparable campaign. It’s time to ensure that all the important resources and influences in your life are at peak intensity and efficiency. Say NO to dilution and adulteration.

Homework: Say these words in front of a mirror: “It’s bad luck to be superstitious.” FreeWillAstrology.com

Cleveland, Ohio staged the Great Lakes Exposition, a 135-acre fair with thrill rides, art galleries, gardens, and sideshows. One of its fun features was The Golden Book of Cleveland, a 2.5-ton, 6,000-page text the size of a mattress. After the expo closed down, the “biggest book in the world” went missing. If it still exists today, no one knows where it is. I’m going to speculate that there’s a metaphorical version of The Golden Book of Cleveland in your life. You, too, have lost track of a major Something that would seem hard to misplace. Here’s the good news: If you intensify your search now, I bet you’ll find it before the end of 2019.

in 1992, six-year-old Calvin decided “The Big Bang” was a boring term for how the universe began, and instead proposed we call it the “Horrendous Space Kablooie.” A number of real scientists subsequently adopted Calvin’s innovation, and it has been invoked playfully but seriously in university courses and textbooks. In that spirit, I encourage you to give fun new names to anything and everything you feel like spicing up. You now have substantial power to reshape and revamp the components of your world. It’s Identify-Shifting Time.

I strongly believe in each person’s ability to discover their full health potential.

SMOKE SIGNALS Vapocalypse 2019

What to know, what to be concerned about WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / SEPTEMBER 19, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Josh Jardine

t’s been a scary couple of weeks for those who use vaporizers, and for the companies which make the products and equipment used to do so. Every day provides more information about what’s happened, and the potential reasons behind this increasingly deadly health crisis. We still don’t have all the answers, but we know a few things. So here’s what you should know about vaping. What we knew then: On Aug. 25, news began to emerge about people who had vaped and were developing serious respiratory ailments. It wasn’t clear at the time if they were vaping nicotine or cannabis cartridges (carts), or if the carts contained something else altogether, such as synthetic cannabis, aka spice—or whether these were even legitimate carts purchased from a licensed dispensary—which are required to have their products lab tested, or whether the carts were sourced from the illicit marketplace. In short, we didn’t know much. At that time, we knew that nearly 200 people were hospitalized across 22 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for severe “vaping related” illnesses between June 28 and Aug. 20. In one city in northern California, seven of the people hospitalized revealed that they had purchased and used THC carts purchased at illegal “pop up dispensaries,” as they were cheaper than ones available through licensed channels. Then the CDC revealed that someone had died in Illinois from vaping. What we know now: The incidences of vaping related hospitalizations skyrocketed to 450 and counting across 33 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Last week, Washington state reported its first known case of a vaping related hospitalization. As of this writing, officials have identified six people who have died from vape-related illnesses in California, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Kansas and Oregon. The person who died in Oregon reportedly purchased THC carts from two licensed dispensaries. Those dispensaries and the products purchased have not been identified. What’s causing it? No one knows yet. Officials in several states, including New York, have established a connection with an added thickening agent. Per CNN, “New York health officials said last week that extremely high levels of the chemical vitamin E acetate were found in nearly all cannabis-containing vaping products that were analyzed as part of the investigation. At least one vape product containing this chemical has been linked to each person who fell ill and submitted a product for testing in the state.”

Vitamin E acetate is reportedly a common additive to black-market THC carts but isn’t widely used in legal THC carts. Well, we hope not. In Oregon, although we test for THC cart potency, pesticides and solvents, we don’t test for additives such as thickening/thinning agents. Instead, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission has begun asking dispensaries to review their vape carts to determine if producers have added any “undisclosed agents” to the carts. OLCC Executive Director Steve Marks told The Gazette-Times in Corvallis that because these aren’t being tested for, “the regulators can’t know if it’s being added illicitly by some manufacturers.” “Any company that has added an ‘undisclosed agent’ to its vape cartridges should tell regulators immediately or face legal complications and probably additional liabilities,” he said in that article. “My worry is that some of these folks may have gone around and put Vitamin E in their products that we are unaware of,” Marks said. “If it’s in our products, it’s out there and we don’t have a clear way to know which ones it may or may not be in.” That’s the extent of what the OLCC can do at the moment, besides requesting that dispensaries post signs about the potential dangers about vaping. As Marks told the Gazette-Times, the agency can’t ban vaping devices or any specific ingredients in them until more is known about what is causing the health problems. “The public safety agency has to tell us there’s a public health concern for us to act,” Marks said in the article. “They have not done so yet. With the lack of specificity, that’s about the level of action we can take at this point.” What’s next? Expect some regulatory action, from banning and testing for dangerous additives such as Vitamin E acetate, new labeling requirements, and on the nicotine side, possible elimination of some products altogether. Last week, the president announced that the feds may take action to recall/ ban nicotine carts with “flavorings”— though the lung illness is linked to marijuana vaporizers, not nicotine ones. Should you keep vaping? Your panic level should dictate that choice. Insofar as there are risks with all activities, you can reduce yours by performing some due diligence. As written about here, do not purchase carts from anywhere but a licensed dispensary. Reach out to the cart producer and ask what they use in their products. Some producers have already taken to social media to state that they don’t use the suspected additive to their products, and never have. When in doubt, you can always vape flower, in a desktop unit or a portable vaporizer; there are as yet no stated dangers associated with doing so.
