lot has changed since the last time voters cast their ballots for Ore gon’s House District 53. Due to redistricting following the recent U.S. Census, the boundaries of the district changed to incorporate more of Bend and less of Redmond. Additionally, incumbent Jack Zika decided not to run again, making this a competitive race with two new and as-yet-untested can didates vying for the spot. Both have been at work establishing their reputa tions in the community, and while both appear well-prepared to represent the voters of Central Oregon, it’s in renew able energy attorney and school safety advocate Emerson Levy, a Democrat, that we see the most promise.

ncumbents in a race typically have an advantage for a number of reasons— name recognition, yes, but also, if they’re doing the work that voters sent them to do, it’s difficult for a newcom er to gain an advantage. In the race for Oregon House District 54, Republi can challenger Judy Trego can’t exact ly be deemed a newcomer, having been the chief of staff for an Oregon leg islator as well as being a former con stituent services staffer for Rep. Greg Walden, and while we respect her life time of service, the incumbent in this race is doing exactly what we sent him to Salem to do.

In his two years as representative for HD 54, then-freshman Democrat Jason Kropf brought a lot of dollars home to Central Oregon, focused in some important areas. Two-ish years ago, Central Oregon struggled to cobble together a winter warming shelter every winter. Now, due to funding supported by Kropf, Bend has a full-time low-bar rier shelter on Second Street. Not only that, but it’s also become a navigation center that helps people experienc ing homelessness access services, due to another bill co-sponsored by Kropf. He’s also advocated for the Joint Office

On gun safety, Kropf supports Mea sure 114; Trego has reservations. On abortion, Kropf vows to keep care safe, accessible and affordable; Trego, who’s pro-life, feels the Supreme Court’s deci sion was just and that Oregon should increase its support services for alterna tives to abortion.

Sipe placed heavy emphasis on the effects of Measure 110—the 2020 mea sure that decriminalized drugs in Ore gon and established more funding for treatment centers statewide—as the cause of homelessness. On abortion, Levy is pro-choice; Sipe said he’s prolife. On water rights and drought, the candidates agreed that canal piping has been essential, but beyond that, Levy said she supports more leasing of water rights, while Sipe believes there’s plen ty of water in the basin if we drill down far enough. Both candidates expressed a need to address Oregon’s Corporate Activities Tax, but Sipe wants it to go away completely, while Levy believes there are ways to tinker with portions of it so as to retain its benefits to Ore gonWhenschools.we asked for an example of a time they reached across the aisle to work with someone of a differing polit ical persuasion, it was telling that Levy pointed to the bipartisan bill she has already drafted, while Sipe pointed to his work in mergers and acquisitions and his contributions to the Central Oregon Prayer Fundamentally,Breakfast.we believe Levy would better represent the voters of HD 53. Vote Emerson Levy for Oregon House District 53.

AOPINION

With school safety a major priority for her, Levy, on her own time, has already crafted a bipartisan bill that would establish silent panic alarms in Oregon schools, and sees gun safety as the “fight of her life.” When we asked opponent Republican Michael Sipe about his take on gun safety and his take on Measure 114—the gun safety bill that voters will consider in November—Sipe said while he supports training and a 30-day wait for new gun owners, he’s still opposed due to “unintended consequences” of theOnbill.housing, Levy told us she sup ports the “housing first” model, while

He’s also been instrumental in getting the Stevens Road tract project approved, with 20 acres of it earmarked for affordable housing, and 6 of those set aside for housing for edu cators, he said. On top of that, he was a sponsor of the bipartisan bill that estab lished the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care, a result of which was around $8 million in vouchers for Cen tral Oregon child care centers to help them grow their businesses.

MIDTERM ELECTIONS AND DEMOCRACY

RE: DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE LETTERS, 9/14

—Foster Fell via bendsource.com

it should be noted that she recently held a private campaign event at Smith Rock during which the leader of the Oregon chapter of People’s Rights spoke.

Democracy in the U.S. is facing severe challenge as evidenced by extremists using their position, social media and lies to destroy the impact of institutions and political norms—not for altruis tic purposes, but to secure power for minority rule. As our democracy has aged, its population has changed from a homogeneous body to a diverse het erogeneous assemblage. This diversity in religion, ethnicity, race etc. can instill fear that “we and our values are being replaced.” The solution to this replace ment is to suppress voting rights so that a select minority gains power—eventu ally leading to an authoritarian form of government. Themost flagrant example is the assault on the transfer of power follow ing the supposedly “stolen election.” A friend from Taiwan (long a U.S. citizen) remarked several years ago that he tre mendously appreciated how America’s democracy assured peaceful transfer of power following elections. After the 2020 election that norm is in jeopardy. Election integrity is under attack at fed eral, state and local levels.

A choice is approaching—the choice of a democratic government or something else. While inflation, supply chain failures and energy costs are serious and impact a large majority, fundamental freedoms, individual rights and democratic prin ciples are at stake in the midterms and beyond. We must elect individuals who acknowledge truth, respect institutions and normative behavior, value individual freedoms and treat all people humanely and with

I recently sent inquiries to 10 Oregon candidates (9 Republicans and 1 Inde pendent) who are running for federal, state, and local offices. I asked them (1) if they agreed with Bill Barr’s statement, “We have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election” and (2) if they endorsed this 11/12/2020 statement from the Trump appointed Dept. of Homeland Security: “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American histo ry. There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”

Three of the 10 candidates respond ed. A staffer for Alek Skarlatos (R), run ning in CD [Congressional District] 4, stated Alek had no opinion. Chris Mann (R), running in CD 1, claimed several states had “violated Constitutional poli cies.” (Of, course we know that multiple courts, Trump-appointed judges, and even the U.S. Supreme Court rejected numerous legal challenges to the Biden victory.)Thethird and final respondent was Christine Drazen’s campaign. A staff er wrote, “Christine has stated multiple times that she believes Joe Biden won the 2020 election and he is the President.”

HAVE SOMETHING your thoughts to editor@bendsource.com.

Allen – It’s encouraging to see that more people are thinking about this important question –what can we do to get help soon er to people suffering. Ideally we won’t all have to earn a master’s to understand the issue and seek help, but I appreciate the sentiment. I do know that “See Something, Say Something” is a common phrase— which in this case likely meant “Call the police.” Come on by for your gift card to Palate.

I appreciated Rune’s timely letter, as I, too, have been pondering this issue.

I believe people need to be edu cated on what to do or where to steer depressed, suicidal people in need of help. The shooter’s friend and previous coach apparently did not know how to intervene and get him to seek help. As I thought about it, I don’t think I would have known what to do. From the KTVZ interview with Justin True, he knew the shooter was a ticking time bomb. Should Justin have called the police? I don’t know if I would have because I would think that the police would have just locked him up and because of the lack of

The response from staff and stu dents, Rodgers said, was overwhelming ly positive.“Everyclassroom toured the school with a specific reason, and that was to choose your favorite mural and accom panying quote. I have a vivid memory of turning around and saying something to one of my students and she just looked at me and said, ‘Mrs. Rodgers, I just got the chills.’ And I can’t teach that,” Rod gers said. “That’s what art is. And that’s what an inspirational quote does to a nine-year-old.”

District concerns

In the summer of 2021, a teacher at Miller was feeling anxious about return ing to school. Between the ongoing safe ty and socio-emotional concerns of teaching in the U.S. in the 21st Century, and COVID still looming large, fourthgrade teacher Stephanie Rodgers want ed to create something to uplift the school

“She said, yes—a resounding yes,” Rodgers said of Healy’s approval. “I mean, she didn’t have to think even 10 seconds.”Healydid not respond to the Source’s requests for comment, but emails obtained through a public records request confirm that in September 2021, Healy obtained approval from the Mill er Parent-Teacher Organization to pay Peterson a fee of $3,080 for the mural project. Healy’s emails also looped in Glen Carey, custodial engineer at Miller, informing him that Peterson would be in the building over the course of about six weekends. Painting on the week ends due to COVID protocols that dis allowed visitors inside schools during school days, Peterson created 19 murals and other smaller works in classrooms,

In the spring of 2022, maintenance staff for Bend-La Pine Schools brought the mural project to the attention of Skip Offenhauser, executive director of Elementary Programs.

When Rodgers, the fourth-grade teacher, entered the school in ear ly August to begin prepping her class room for the school year, all the murals were gone, minus one at the school's entrance. On Aug. 9, district officials began to craft communication “to staff and parents that explains things and next steps.”

Artist Teafly Peterson told the Source Weekly that she learned about the painting over of the murals through a Facebook post Rodgers posted in ear ly August. [Disclosure: Teafly has been a writer and artistic contributor to the Source Weekly on a number of occasions.]

“I had discussions with our mainte nance department and was reminded of our policy… regarding painting in our buildings,” Offenhauser told the Source Weekly. BLPS’ Requirements for Vol unteer Painting include requirements around following “the established col or scheme for each school and site,” and restrict the use of things like “faux fin ishes, extravagant paint patterns, wall paper, student handprints, excessive color contrasts, stenciling and borders,” as well as instructions for wall prep, masking and painting.

bathrooms and hallways, accompanied by quotes from people such as Dolly Parton and Maya Angelou. In each bath room a mural stating, “You are loved” was painted backwards, so students would be able to read the phrase in the mirrors.“For instance, the kindergarten mural is pretty basic, [saying] ‘Be a rain bow in somebody else’s cloud.’ They all have to do with kindness,” Rodgers said.

“Withcommunity.thisuncertainty, what could at least be certain was, I’m going to enter my school and smile, because of the art on the walls,” Rodgers told the Source Weekly. “That was my vision.”

Principal Healy did not respond to the Source's emails, but Offenhauser said Healy did not follow proper proto col in regard to the murals at Miller.

“I have a vivid memory of turning around and saying something to one of my students and she just looked at me and said, ‘Mrs. Rodgers, I just got the chills.’ And I can’t teach that. That’s what art is. And that’s what an inspirational quote does to a nine-year-old.”

The official decision from BLPS: the murals would need to be painted over. As an alternative, the murals could be redone on canvas and hung around the school, emails between district staff show.

Rodgers said she reached out to Mill er Principal Jen Healy, who Rodgers said was enthusiastic about the prospect of commissioning local artist Teafly Peter son, known professionally as simply “Teafly,” to create art inside the school.

Between May and June of this year, maintenance and administrative staff for BLPS debated via email about who would inform Healy of the need to paint over the artworks. On June 24, an email from Offenhauser to Dan Dum mit, maintenance director for BLPS, revealed Offenhauser’s reservations about the project.

The Miller Elementary PTO paid a local artist to paint 19 murals inside the school. Less than a year later, the district painted over them, citing a breach of protocol.

District Removes Inspirational Murals from Bend School

By Nicole Vulcan

Another email on July 28 indicated that the district would allow Healy to select one mural “to keep” inside Miller.

“…I did get a chance to walk the school on my own and I do have some reservations and questions about paint ing over the murals and see some chal lenges with reproducing them on canvas/boards and mounting them,” Offenhauser wrote.

“The very first thing that we had to remind ourselves was that all paint ing projects—and there’s many reasons embedded underneath it—all painting projects needed to be approved by Facil ities,” Offenhauser said. “I think what was coming into Jen’s [Healy’s] mind was more of painting rooms different colors and the policy was more in her head around that.”

The artist’s reaction

"This was a tough situation at all levels," BLPS Superintendent Steve Cook told the Source. "We've learned from this, and we're going to get it resolved." BLPS officials say they plan to have the murals repro duced on canvas or another material so that the art can be replaced at Miller, but it’s not clear who will pay for the artist’s time.

“My next-door neighbor has the same apartment as me, and they moved in at $1495,” they said.

“I’m a full-time college student and my son is a high school student so we’ll be going to coffee shops to do our homework,” they said.

The maximum allowable rent increases aren’t taken advantage of by every landlord and proper ty management company. Bend’s year-over-year increase in rental costs was about 6% with a max increase of “Broadly9.9%.speaking, housing costs go up along with incomes, if not a little bit faster than that. So if we see income growth 5-6% a year, broadly speaking, housing costs go up 5- 6% a year. Of course, every year can be a little bit different than that, but that tends to be the big-picture trend,” Lehner said.

Applications for the position are due by Oct. 11 and finalists will be interviewed and appointed on Nov. 15. Llerandi Gonzales won an election in May 2021 for a four-year term for the at-large position, meaning she was one of two board members representing the entire

The average rent in Bend is $1,836, according to RentCafe, a data company with access to pricing on all Bend apartments 50 units or larger — so raising the average by the maximum allowable extent would bring the cost to over $2,100.

BLPS officials did not provide an estimate of the time and material costs incurred by the district for the repainting, but said that it used “standard paint” that the district uses in all buildings, and that the job was done by maintenance staff.

The 14.4% hike is the steepest since the program’s inception three years ago, thanks to the fastest inflation observed in 40 years. Over the past several decades inflation was generally around 2-3%. Lehner said signs are pointing to less-rapid inflation in the coming year. Inflation stemmed largely from the increases in energy pric es that are now decreasing, and supply chain issues that’re also starting to ease up.

Wade was overturned in July, Lleran di Gonzales was also reprimanded for violating the school board’s code of conduct when she failed to state she was voicing her own opinions that weren’t repre sentative of the board, and using profanity.

Peterson also sees it as an equity issue.

“Decades of economic and academic research show that really stringent rent controls, which this is not, but really stringent rent controls harm new construction. If a builder or develop er cannot get a return on their investment, if the rents can only go up by 1% or 2% a year, they don’t get that financial return, and then they don’t build at all,” said Josh Leh ner, an economist for the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis.

“Especially after COVID—it just really wreaked havoc, I think, on mental health for kids and teachers alike, and it was just this wonderful bright, positive way of welcoming kids and teachers and staff back to the school. I thought it was a great use of funds,” said Emily Pietrzak, president of the Miller PTO during the 202021 school year. “When I heard that the district took the time and budgeted to paint over them, I thought, you know, there’s a larger problem in the district, in how they solve issues, and I think this was a really poor way of handling a situation that they weren’t happy with.”

Pietrzak, whose kids have since aged out of Miller, said paying for the project with PTO funds would be a tough“Evencall.though, you know, the ultimate outcome is, ‘we want this here for the kids to see,’ you know, just the whole principle of the thing of, we have to fund raise for this again. That’s not fair, you know?” Peitr zak

They said they budget conservatively and that they’re already exploring how they can tighten up their budget. They’re expecting to cut off the inter net, leaving only cell phones, electric bills and car insurance as their only monthly expenses.

“Isaid.was also thinking, God, somebody walked in with a bucket of paint and a roller and painted over, ‘You are loved.’”

“I’m actually kind of happy to get the opportunity to recreate the art with people because it’s so sad, the fact that kids don’t have it there,” Peterson said.

“The second I heard about the new increase I knew that as soon as they can in July, they will be raising it as much as they can because they have every single year,” said a Bend-based tenant who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation from their land lord.The tenant is current ly paying $950 a month for their apartment, and comes with its own set of problems.

“This is one of the most affluent neighborhoods in our community, and they were treated this way? What’s happening in our community where the parents don’t have the resources or don’t have the time available to advocate for their kids on this level?” she said. “We force them to do these things… we make them duck and cover—do their active shooter drills, and the little bit of joy that was on their walls to help them through this process is now gone.”

Seeking School Board Member

Bend-La Pine Schools is seeking to replace a vacant seat on the school board. Board member Janet Sarai Llerandi Gonzales resigned on Sept. 10 after moving out of the district. On Sept. 13, the BLPS board chair announced the board would be seeking a replacement at an upcoming school board meeting.

Rodgers, the teacher, also expressed concerns about the message sent to kids about conflict resolution. “I don’t know what to say,” Rodgers said. “Your art has been painted over because of a rule. OK, so we broke the rule. Well then, let’s talk about the rule and maybe that rule needs to be changed.”

A former logger finds a way to keep working with wood after the collapse of the logging industry

Mosquito Bob owns hundreds of chainsaws, each with its own name, use and feel. He learned about chainsaws tinkering on old ones as a logger, and has had a passion for the tools ever since.

Jack Harvel

n Aug. 15 I received an email from someone only identified as Mosquito Bob in my inbox, hinting about a location.

O

guerilla marketing. He sent his number, asking to talk. Mondays are usually one of our busier days at the Source, but I had to put my work aside to find out what the hell Mosquito Bob was talking about.

Turns out it was some guerilla marketing. Mosqui to Bob is breaking into the woodcarving business and wanted to show off the bears, bigfoots and bar he’s built on his property in La Pine. Usually, I’d leave the arts and culture stories to a reporter more suited to it, but Mosquito Bob approached me creatively enough to take full ownership of the story.

I wondered what this could possibly mean. There were three things I imagined this could be: At worst I was being lured to a remote location by someone named Mosquito Bob; slightly better, I was being trolled and the location is infested with mosquitos that would eat me up or this was some kind of weird

The name Mosquito Bob (the only name he identi fies as, or at least the only name he’ll share with news reporters) draws from the protective eyewear Bob wears while using one of the hundreds of chainsaws he has strewn around his property. He has an encyclope dic knowledge of chainsaws and talks about them the same way a car enthusiast would talk about classic cars — noting the looks, feel, technology and sound of dif ferent chainsaws. The modern saw chain has Oregon roots; in 1947 lumberjack Joseph Cox designed the Cox Chipper Chain after observing how timber beetles cut through trees.

Reporters are used to getting strange emails. Wheth er it’s a pushy PR firm pitching a story about a Seat tle-based dog trainer, a local asking you to report on their neighbor’s overgrown lawn or a political screed about why and how I should cover an event, there’s usually something interesting sprinkled among the dozens of press releases we get in a day. But this one really piqued my interest.

‘Cutting Out Everything That’s Not a Bear’ with Mosquito Bob

By Jack Harvel

“Come up and I will show you. There is a private hydration station. Bigfoot & bear sightings most eve nings,” Mosquito Bob wrote.

Jack Harvel

Woodchips fly all over Mosquito Bob’s workspace as he carves a stump into a bear. He can turn a small log into a rough carving in about 30 minutes before painting, though larger statues can take months.

“Hey man, I know a place in the pines that’s magi cal, enchanted, whimsical, creative, entertaining, dan gerous, exciting and unique,” Mosquito Bob wrote. “I would like to share it with folks.”

The Chainsaws

Bob can hardly draw a stick figure after years of operating vibrating saws, but he’s an artist with a chainsaw. He said he approaches carving a lot like he did cutting trees. It’s all about imagining a finished product, and chipping away until it’s finally realized.

202222,SEPTEMBER/38ISSUE26VOLUME/THESOURCEWEEKLY 11 FEATURE

Loggers are 28 times more likely to die on the job than an average worker. In 2020 loggers had a fatal ity rate of 97.6 per 100,000 full time workers, and over 1,000 nonfatal injuries in a workforce with about 53,000 people. For comparison, active duty military personnel between 2001 and 2010 had a fatality rate of 93.4 per Mosquito100,000.Bob got into the logging industry set ting chokers on trees, aka attaching cords to trees so a crane can haul them away. It took him a long time to earn his stripes and join the cutters chipping away at trees. Finally, they let him join, but not with a saw — he carried their gas tanks for six months before he got to work lumberjacking.

“My mentor Larry took me under his wing. He was 69 years old the day he took me under his wing cutting timber. And I worked with him for seven years. You know, felling timber, learning from a living legend, a man that cut Mount St. Helens after it blew. I’m talking the widest trees, man,” Mosquito Bob said. “He took me under his wing, and I knew that I was probably the last man on earth who was going to learn that infor mation from him. There’s a heritage, there’s a history.”

He learned the mechanics of chainsaws tinkering on old broken saws and putting them back together. He gives each of his chainsaws its own name and has a purpose for all of them. If he’s felling timber he’s using a Stihl, but when carving he prefers a Husqvarna or a McCulloch.“They’ve got a cadence; they remind me of guitars. Chainsaws and guitars are a lot alike and a lot of saw yers play guitar; there’s a cadence to them, there’s a dance,” Mosquito Bob said. “Now they’re just the paint brushes, man. Every tool here is a paint brush for myBob’sart.” a guitarist himself, and points to his “theme song,” Jackyl’s "The Lumberjack," to get a sense for the cadence of a chainsaw. In it, the front man Jesse James Dupree plays a chainsaw solo over a blues riff. But unlike guitars, chainsaws are dangerous tools and are used in the U.S.’s most dangerous profession.

“That beetle has a little (c-shaped) jaw like that, you see that little tooth cutter,” Mosquito Bob said while showcasing one of his chainsaws. “He has one on top and one on the bottom. If you listen and then you go to one of these beetle-ridden trees and listen to that tree, you’ll hear the same sound as a chainsaw, almost sounds like steel. The guy designed crosscut chain, and it revolutionized the world because these sons of bitches can cut, man.”

As logging became more mechanical and the less labor-intensive, it became less appealing for Mosquito Bob. He liked “running in for his job, running out for his life and looking up.” He didn’t want to be cooped up in a cab pulling levers so he got out of the cutting game and got into building. He started setting up fram ing for houses, where he could still work his chainsaw.

Mosquito Bob bought an industrially zoned piece of land in La Pine where he can carve without bother ing the neighbors. He started carving wood about four years ago when a friend commissioned him to carve a morel mushroom.

Mosquito Bob said he’s taking appointments for commissions and live carvings. This Friday and Sat urday he’ll be finding the bear in his logs at Shandy’s bowling alley in La Pine. He’ll even have a couple carv ings for sale, which he’ll trade for money or, of course, old chainsaws.

Still, he saw the danger of the industry firsthand. He’s seen men die on the job. In 1996 he crushed his leg in 18 places and spent the next three years on crutches. By the time he healed up the logging industry was just about gone. He saw the end of logging, but not before learning from the legends of the tall timber.

“The first logging crew I ever worked for, the log ging didn’t scare me, the men did!” Mosquito Bob said.

Jack Harvel

“Everything in the tall timber is a cutting solu tion. You’ll sit there, knock them down like dominoes with the same cut every time, but then you’ll get into a patch and you might have to go cut some stuff loose to get the results you want,” Mosquito Bob said. “My cutting solution on carving is like cut away everything that isn’t a bear, cut away everything that isn’t a dog or a horse or a Sasquatch.”

Mosquito Bob chars eyes onto a bear sculpture he carved. Next it will be detailed and painted.

“The thing with framing is, it didn’t have what I wanted, the tribal type of crew,” Mosquito Bob said. “I missed the timber. I missed the woods. Now you’re downtown, you’re eating out of a friggin’ mini mart every day. I really don’t want to stop downtown.”

“You don’t get rich. We’re not scooping up $100 bills with a butterfly net. Carving is probably the hard est job out of everything I’ve done,” Mosquito Bob said. “You don’t have anybody to ask. Nobody shares their secrets. Maybe if you get into their circle, but they don’t want you on their corner. Because we’re all starving artists, you know, just like any other.”

The logging heyday

Several of Mosquito Bob’s creations sit on a trailer. Some of the larger sculptures take a lot of effort to move.

Jack Harvel

“My cutting solution on carving is like cut away everything that isn’t a bear, cut away everything that isn’t a dog or a horse or a Sasquatch.” —MOSQUITO BOB

Finding the bear

“The second one is always better than the first one, and the next one is always better than the last one. Because you learn, you’re better and faster,” Mosqui to Bob said.

Those bears can be as tall as 9 feet or the size of a stump. Just like in logging he’s been earning his stripes in carving by burning his gas tanks down, practicing on new logs. He doesn’t start with any designs on paper; he just tries to find the subject in the wood.

His ultimate goal is to have his carvings be like a gal lery at his home and can demonstrate what he can do for private commissions. He’d also like to host work shops on carvings and saws, and would really like to see a chainsaw festival in La Pine. Mosquito Bob said his carving isn’t quite a full-time business yet, but he’s hoping to carve out some territory in La Pine where he’s the carver of choice.

What’s to like: THICK will just lay it all out there on any given track. On the trio’s second album, "Hap py Now," it doesn’t make the listener have to wonder where their angst is coming from—the artists tell it like it is. With “Montreal,” THICK concocts a beau tiful and hard-nosed love song. On the album’s clos er, “Something Went Wrong,” the three let loose and drill through the bullshit they are forced to deal with daily for just being women. THICK brings honesty, punchy harmonies and high energy to its poppy, punk and garage rock sounding tunes. They are exactly what a Riot grrrl band would sound like in 2022, delivering countless headbangers.

You can stream THICK’s latest album “Happy Now” on Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music.

Random Internet Dig Fact: Drummer Kate Black seems to have invented a new word, and I love it. In an interview with When The Horn Blows, Black coins the term “angertivity” when talking about THICK’s new album. Angertivity is “when you experience pos itivity and happiness from going through anger and hurt.” This seems like the perfect word to describe the group’s sound.

xpressing anger and getting out your frustrations actually feels pretty good sometimes. If you’re having trouble doing so, listening to a song from Brooklyn’s THICK will probably help you release that tension. The passion this punk trio has is one to get you inspired. Not only is THICK’s music relentless and powerful, but it’s also really damn good.

How they came to be: Around the end of 2014 Sisti posted an ad on Craigslist looking for a drummer who shared a similar love for Blink-182 and FIDLAR—that’s when Page came into the picture. Black joined later in 2015 after Sisti and Page worked their magic to get her in the band. Then the Brooklyn punk trio was com plete. They’ve been signed on with the great Epitaph records since 2018.

But let’s get to Bar #2, which is the focus of this particular writing. The Fla mingo Room, tucked into an unassum ing business plaza off Century Drive on Bend’s west side, has been open since the spring of this year. It’s been bustling ever since, despite its hidden location. Trottier says it’s local residents that are responsible for the positive reception.

One of the first things visitors are likely to notice is the plants. They’re everywhere! “I like the energy of plant stores. I like browsing in plant stores. It occurred to me, ‘why couldn’t we have that same environment in a bar,’” explains Trottier. So there you have it – live plants abound at the Flamin go – on shelves high and low, hanging from the ceiling, on the floor, literal ly in every direction you look. They’re the backdrop and the forefront among rusty, mismatched metal chairs and oth er junkyard treasures that Trottier is proud to say he recycled from a junk yard in Powell Butte. “It’s an authentic,

The Flamingo Room

Speaking of staff, the drinks run the gamut and are largely inspired by the staff’s travels to areas around the Equa tor. Rum and mezcal, warm-weather spirits, as Trottier describes them, are staples in the Flamingo’s cocktail rep ertoire. “We pride ourselves in taking spirits that people think they don’t like and changing their minds about it. For example the Jazz Daq #2 turns around what you think it’s going to be,” Trotti er boasts. It’s made with rum, passion

The Flamingo Room is Feeling The Local Love

“Our food is definitely thought out. It’s not an apology. It’s not an accident. We wanted a more healthy feeling and even though we don’t advertise it, our food is predominantly vegan and vege tarian. It’s rare that you find a bar with those attributes, but why can’t the food make you feel better?” beams Trottier.

peas and bread with butter. Conservas are Sardines in Vinegar, Line Caught Tuna in Olive Oil, Squid in Ink, mussels and cod. There are also Masa Empana das, a simple green salad, and handmade chocolate bars by the local Fawkes Con fectionery. All snack trays come with kettle or plantain chips as well—a nice ly curated assortment of bites and bits which are delicious and quite satisfying.

pening another bar is like decid ing to have another child. All you remember is how much fun you had with the first one and how cute it was (at least in the beginning), forgetting all about the long, sleepless nights and dirty diapers. That’s how Brian Trot tier explains how he and his wife Ash ley came about opening a second bar in Bend. Trottier says their first one, San Simón, downtown in Tin Pan Alley, was way more fun to open than he had antic ipated, so when he got another bar con cept/idea in his head he felt compelled to do it again. It probably didn’t hurt that bar number one has been a raging success, extremely popular and voted Best Bar by Source Weekly readers two years in a row now (2021 & 2022).

CHOW

While nibbling and sipping, one may also notice the music. Trottier himself makes the playlists and they’re very spe cific, handpicked tunes. His mission is to play familiar songs mixed with unfa miliar selections. His aim is huge diver sity, playing everything from African music to Japanese garage rock to Cuban music to 1960s French pop along with Prince and Dr. Dre. That mix creates a “worldly” atmosphere, according to Trottier, and he says it works because of the way he weaves in the unfamiliar with theSofamiliar.iftasty

bites, interesting drinks, captivating décor and amazing music mixes weren’t enough, Trottier says the thing he’s most proud of, the thing that gets overlooked too often, is the excep tional staff. As he puts it, “They’re just the nicest, most generous and gracious people and that’s really the big thing that makes it all work – the dynamite staff!”

And then there’s the food at The Flamingo Room. Similar to San Simón, guests get a small clipboard with a checklist menu attached in order to choose what they want. Dips & Nosh items include things such as Watermel on & Feta salad, Onion Cashew Dip and Fig & Olive Tapenade. Nibbles are things like pickled carrots, spicy pickled aspar agus, seasoned pistachios, fresh snap

fruit, Cocchi Americano and fresh lime juice and it’s already a Flamingo favorite. Trottier is proud of the curated liquor selection, explaining that they’re not trying to have the biggest selection of any one thing but rather a well-rounded selection with some weirder gins, mez cals and Japanese liquors, etc.

Hedwig not only broke ground by having a trans character front and cen ter of a rock opera, but John Cameron Mitchell’s masterwork also balanced the tragedy of loss, the warmth of love and the pitch-black comedy of failure in a way that hadn’t been done before or since.The show stays with everyone who sees it, not just for a day or two, but for ever. “I hope people walk away feeling moved,” says Kish. “Some may not know why, others may be jazzed from the rock music and some may see life a little dif ferently than before. Hedwig’s story is that of us all; a universal pain shared, no matter the circumstances. Acceptance of self is making love; having compas sion for yourself and others.”

’ve been a part of the Bend theater scene on and off for a long time, and there aren’t very many predictable aspects of that world. I’ve acted in a few dozen plays, stage managed a handful and directed two of them, so I tend to feel like I have skin in the game when it comes to Central Oregon having a strong theater community. Converse ly, the quality of the productions always vary across the theater companies, the backstage drama fluctuates between deeply uncomfortable and non-existent and it’s usually pretty impossible to tell how opening night is going to be until you’re in the middle of it.

Nov. 5 The Greenhouse Cabaret 1017

So, in a perfect confluence of events, Kish is opening The Greenhouse Caba ret, a theater space inside his plant shop, Somewhere That’s Green.

The Greenhouse is planning on help ing change that. “My hope is to host diverse theatrical companies from sur rounding Oregon areas to bring more art to Bend,” says Kish. “Then, in time, open up that conversation about creat ing local opportunities here. Many say there are no LGBTQIA2S+ or BIPOC artistic opportunities and I agree. So, I built a theater to do so. The Greenhouse will also be a host to local drag troupes, RuPaul viewing parties and more queer community-building opportunities that are not offered in this town.”

“When I conceived my plant shop idea back in 2013, the theater was also a part,” Kish told the Source Week ly. “When I launched the plant shop in 2018 I never dreamed that in four years I would already have the theater launch ing within it! The main inspiration was ‘Little Shop of Horrors,’ AKA plants and theater combined, my two loves and passions. Also, I left NYC wanting more nature and grounding, so performing in a planty space is a unique experience I’ve never seen, for both the performer and audience member.”

If you’re not familiar with “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” it’s heartbreaking, hilarious and an enduring artistic work that only gets more relevant with time. Directed by the great Rick Johnson, “Hedwig” has a thematic importance that Kish instinctively knows is an ideal launch to the Greenhouse.

Theater in Bend is in good hands with John Kish. Just look at how beautifully he curates Somewhere That’s Green and imagine how that skill would carry over to The Greenhouse Cabaret. He has the patience to build something with strong roots; something that will grow larger and more beautiful over time. He wouldn’t oversaturate the scene, instead making sure each and every blossom, each leaf, each artistic endeavor is given the attention and love it deserves. Live theater came very close to dying during COVID. The art form deserves to be regrown with a stronger foundation and I can’t think of anyone better than John Kish to plant the seed.

And what better way to launch Th Greenhouse Cabaret than with one of the finest rock musicals of all time, “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” with Kish in the starring role. “It has often been said that Hedwig is a career-ending role as there’s nothing quite like it again,” says Kish. “I’ve never been in the right place or time to get cast, and what bet ter way than to launch my own theater with it. It truly will be a great represen tation of what this new stage will rep resent.”Inthe category of painfully obvious information, the Bend theater scene has a massive lack of opportunities for LGBTQIA2S+ artists and artists of color on stage and in the director’s chair. The movement forward has been happening so slowly as to almost be unnoticeable.

In fact, I’m pretty sure there’s only one actually predictable aspect of the ater in Bend: If John Kish is involved, it’s going to be worth watching. From founding the Cocktail Cabaret at the Capitol, giving a powerful dramatic per formance in “The Glass Menagerie” and a classic slapstick performance in “Young Frankenstein” and directing one of the finest musicals Central Oregon has ever seen with “Spring Awakening,” John Kish is one of our best storytellers.

Here’s the thing, though: Your mileage may vary, whether that bothers you or not. I don’t usually go to movies for historical accuracy (that’s what I like books and docs for), so I usually take everything presented in “historical” films with a boulder of salt. If movies play ing fast and loose with the facts make you angry, then I might avoid the new historical action/drama, “The Woman King,” but if you use the film as a jumping off

It’s Viola Davis’ World The Woman King entertains, as long as historical accuracy isn’t expected

At the end of the day, it’s extremely satisfying to watch African warrior women systematically slaughter colonizers and slavers, so all of my complaints of his torical accuracy fall by the wayside when 57-year-old Viola Davis fights men twice her size and half her age and pulls it off more believably than most other actors. I mean, I buy Viola Davis as an action star now more than Chris Pratt or Vin Diesel.

complicated history for crowd-pleasing adventure. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the film immensely as I was watching it, but once I went home and researched Dahomey and its history with slavery and human sacri fice, it made me wonder if something more historical ly accurate would have ultimately carried more power.

know this is incredibly obvious, but most movies are full of crap. If it’s not a documentary, it’s definite ly full of crap, and if it says, “Based on a true sto ry,” it’s usually just as full of crap as the rest. Look at “The Conjuring” franchise. There’s more evidence that the Warrens were snake oil salespeople than that they were investigating real hauntings. Hollywood likes to take a kernel of a true story like a historical event or figure and then fabricate a (sometimes) compelling narrative to transform into box-office dollars.

“The Woman King” is an extremely entertaining bit of popcorn historical action. It could have been much more, but this is what we have, and since it’s kind of amazing we even have this, it’s good enough for now. But Hollywood can still do better. They owe it to the underrepresented and marginalized voices they’ve silenced for over 100 years. Movies like this and “Black Panther” are a good place to start, but this is just the beginning.

The real life Agojie, an all-female warrior military group, could have conquered the world if they wanted to.

“The Woman King” tells the story of the Agojie, the all-female warrior military group that protected the West African Kingdom of Dahomey. Set in the 1820s, the film follows the leader of the Agojie, General Nan isca (a seismic Viola Davis), her second-in-command, Izogie (a scene-stealing Lashana Lynch) and a new recruit to the unit, Nawi (a star-making performance from Thuso Mbedu). These three performances are so compelling that even when the film veers into melo drama, it never ceases to be immanently watchable.

point for doing your own reading on the subject, then it’s a very entertaining epic bolstered by three astound ing lead performances.

I

The story of the Agojie and of the long-ended King dom of Dahomey is a fascinating one and definitely worthy of making a big-budget historical epic about, but, because Hollywood, what we have in “The Wom an King” is a sanitized and bloodless drama that trades

“The Woman King” Dir. Gina Prince-BythewoodGrade:B Playing at Regal Old Mill

But ignoring all that and just viewing the movie for what it is and not what it could have been, “The Woman King” is a strong look at Black sisterhood, the majesty of Africa and the destitution of slavery. This is “Braveheart” and “Gladiator” writ even larger with an almost exclusively BIPOC cast which is something we’ve needed for a long time. It’s hard to nitpick the details of this movie when it’s ultimately so refreshing that Hollywood is finally making movies like this after so many years of almost zero representation.

SEE HOW THEY RUN: An old-fashioned comedy/ mystery that plays like a madcap Agatha Christie whodunnit featuring Sam Rockwell, Saoirse Ronan, Adrien Brody and Ruth Wilson? Yeah, that sounds like it was made just for me. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub

THE INVITATION: This period horror film is a reinterpretation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” but set at a destination wedding in the English countryside. Starring the luminous Nathalie Emmanuel, this looks like a classy creeper designed to engage the brain while being spooky as all get out. Regal Old Mill

GOD’S COUNTRY: Thandiwe Newton vs trespassers in a modern inversion of the American Western? Yeah, sign me up. The trailer for this is chilling. Sisters Movie House

JAWS: This is legit one of the best movies of all time, now available to see in either IMAX or in 3D. I hope I have nightmares about a shark swimming at my face in a crowded movie theater from now on. That sounds like fun, for sure. Regal Old Mill

BARBARIAN: A woman arrives to her rental home but the dude that played Pennywise is already there. Most people would flee into the night, but then we wouldn’t have a movie, so she stays and deeply creepy horror ensues. This is a new horror classic from top to bottom. Regal Old Mill

BULLET TRAIN: Why yes, I would like to see Brad Pitt fight a train full of assassins as it speeds across Japan. When you’ve got one of the co-creators of the “John Wick” franchise behind the camera, that means there will be just as many jokes as punches and “Bullet Train” is just as goofy as it is exciting. Regal Old Mill

WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING: I really liked this book and actress Daisy Edgar-Jones is a fantastic new talent, so hopefully this Rural Noir murder mystery catches the imaginations of people unfa miliar with the story. If the reviews are accurate, the film doesn’t quite capture the same magic as the book does, but not many movies adapt novels very well in the first place. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub

DON’T WORRY DARLING: The media loves to talk about all the drama involved with the making of this one, but completely forgets that 1) Olivia Wilde directed the charming and lovely “Booksmart,” 2) Florence Pugh is one of the best actresses of her generation and 3) that this movie is actually an orig inal idea instead of a remake or comic book movie. I think it looks fantastic. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins

as Zizka and co-starring Michael Caine, this should be a bloody good time for fans of historical fiction. Regal Old Mill

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER: Writer/director Taika Waititi is one our most innovative filmmakers and “Love and Thunder” is packed with mind-blowing visuals and some of his most irreverent humor yet. Don’t believe the negativity, this is an absolute blast. I hope we get Thor movies forever. Regal Old Mill

MOONAGE DAYDREAM: David Bowie. In IMAX. Glorious. Regal Old Mill

THE TERRITORY: A captivating look at the struggle between indigenous tribes and developers as the lo cals try to save as much as they can of the Amazon. This really shows you the power of documentaries and their ability to effect change. Tin Pan Theater

PEARL: A darkly funny and disturbing melodrama that acts as a prequel to last year’s modern horror classic “X,” Ti West and Mia Goth’s “Pearl” is a perverted and bloody "Wizard of Oz.” Truly one of the most original experiences of the year. Regal Old Mill, Tin Pan Theater

MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON: Did you fall in love with the hilarious and touching YouTube vid eos of Marcel (voiced by the luminous Jenny Slate) when they came out a few years ago? Of course you did. Well, this feature length story about the little shell searching for his people is one of the sweetest and kindest movies of the last few years. A joy. Tin Pan Theater

AVATAR (RE-RELEASE): To get people hyped for the new “Avatar” movie that’s coming out in December, Disney is re-releasing the original to remind people that that was a thing back in 2009. I haven’t seen it in years, but I remember “Avatar” having cool 3D and a plot that reminded me how much I love “Fern Gully.” Regal Old Mill

MEDIEVAL: A Czech historical action drama about Jan Zizka, a Bohemian military commander who never lost a battle. With the always great Ben Foster

THE WOMAN KING: An historical drama/action movie about the Agojie, the all-female warrior unit that protected the African kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800’s. Featuring an absolutely fierce perfor mance by Viola Davis, this is a solid if flawed epic. See full review on page 30. Regal Old Mill

MY OLD SCHOOL: Go into this hybrid documentary knowing nothing except that it’s so much stranger than fiction. Will melt your brain and help redefine what humans will do to achieve their dreams. Tin Pan Theater

DC LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS: This animated adventure sees The Rock and Kevin Hart as the voice of Superman and Batman’s respective dogs that must team up to save their respective Super Partners. Regal Old Mill

THE SILENT TWINS: The true story of twin sisters living in a small town in Wales that would only communicate with each other. A deep dive into institutional racism, this is a remarkable story I had never heard of before now. Regal Old Mill

TOP GUN: MAVERICK: There’s a reason why Tom Cruise is the last true movie star and it’s mostly because he’s that perfect blend of creepy, weird and desperate to entertain us—and boy does he. Talk about a highway to the danger zone. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub

The tour consists of 10 films that ONDA selected for this year’s event, which include in-person viewing at the Tower Theatre or online streaming at

“I’mhome.glad to be bringing a handful of films that are specific to the northwest ern United States (“Finding Salmon” (2 min.), “Guardians of the River” (14 min.), “Land of the Yakamas” (9 min.), as it’s always fun to see gorgeous films from places we know well,” said Hart.

Internationally, “The Bat Woman and Bat Man of India” (7 min.) features two Indian chiropteran researchers at Osmania University whose passion for bats and each other wasn’t inspired by wine and roses, but rather by dead bats,

Another river-related film, “The Voice of a River” (11 min.) is the story of Mark Dubois, who protested the flood ing of the Stanislaus River by chaining himself to a rock upstream of the New Melones

which they exchanged as endearing gifts. Their unique relationship led them on a unique and at-times-dangerous journey

to protect bat species in India, in partic ular the Kolar leaf-nosed bat that hadn’t been observed in India since the 1980s.

“Ghost Ponds” (12 min.) tells the story of disappearing habitat in England and Wales as agriculture fills in ponds and wetlands at an accelerated rate. The buried ponds leave a “ghostly” mark on the landscape that researchers target to unearth seeds buried in the sediments to revive these dead habitats.

“The main thing I want the audi ence to take away from the festival is how impactful one person can be when it comes to conserving and stew arding our earth,” said Hart. “I want folks to feel inspired to get involved and to understand that however they choose to engage—donating, volunteer ing or advocating—it all matters. Our community of supporters makes our workGeneralpossible!”admission tickets are avail able online from the Tower Theatre. Doors open at 5 pm and all proceeds go to benefit ONDA’s work to protect, defend and restore Oregon’s high des ert wild lands, waters and wildlife.

Wild and Scenic Film Festival Rolls into Bend

“Guardians of the River” shares the vision of Klamath tribal leaders and their vision of removing four dams along the Klamath River to restore salmon runs, riparian habitat and tribal justice.

“The Wild & Scenic Film Festival was started by the South Yuba River Citi zens League,” said Hana Hart, ONDA membership and engagement coordi nator. “Each year they bring over 100 short films to their festival, and then they offer a selection of those films as ‘on tour’ films and allow other nonprof its to curate a lineup of films and bring a shorter, on-tour version of the festival to their hometown.”

nspiration happens through various formats. The Wild and Scenic Film Festival presented by Oregon Natu ral Desert Association and sponsored by E2Solar at the Tower Theatre brings inspiration through visual storytelling on Friday, Sept. 30. The short films high light activists working on environmental issues across the globe. And in the case of “National Parks ‘One Star Reviews’” they also poke a little fun at irreverent reviews of America’s crown jewels.

“Originally,Dam. the goal behind the film was to celebrate Earth Day and the Executive Producers (Monica Gonzalez and Jarvis Smith) and Citrix (sponsor of the film) were exploring different angles for a short piece on the topic, the story of Mark Dubois and his activism in the face of the New Melones Dam project in 1979,” said Carlos Gonzalez, owner of Illumirit Productions. “Mark’s connec tion to the Stanislaus was undeniable and I felt one of the more powerful ways to have a discussion about conservation of this planet.” Dubois’s actions show how one person can influence change.

RethinkingNorthwestCRAFTBrewersDrinking with Craft ‘Near Beer’

There are a bunch of ways to make nonalcoholic beer. One is to brew reg ular beer and then later remove the alcohol with pressure or heat. Anoth er option is to control the fermenta tion, so the batch produces minimal or no alcohol to begin with. Blonden takes that

“Whilebeer.the craft brewing industry is amazingly collaborative and most breweries will happily talk recipes and process with other breweries, the NA brewing world is the exact opposite,” Monroe wrote. “Most NA breweries spend an immense amount of time and resources on research and develop ment and therefore closely guard their processes as proprietary trade secrets. (The) blog is intended to be the anti dote to that.”

alf a dozen Pacific Northwest craft breweries are diversifying into making nonalcoholic beer. But instead of brewing bland and watery “near beer,” they’re injecting quality and variety into a space that used to be dominated by a few national brands. A swelling customer base is lapping it up.

nonalcoholic beer pour into the market.

“This is Self Care ‘Fresh Cut!’ It’s a pale ale,” Blonden announced as an assistant emptied the bags of fra grant hops into a stainless steel tank. Blonden’s team has plans to brew sever al different styles of fresh hopped beers during the harvest season. This brewery is one of the first in the nation to extend the distinctive, aromatic seasonal treat to the nonalcoholic segment.

Brewers are diversifying into nonalcoholic beers after 20% growth in sales

Broadly speaking, the technique is called manipulated or arrested fermen tation. Craft brewers prefer it because it preserves the flavor and body of the beverage without requiring addition al expensive technology. To be sold as nonalcoholic in most states, an adult beverage needs to have less than 0.5% alcohol content.

The next entrant from the region into the nonalcoholic segment could be Figurehead Brewing Company in Seat tle, where co-owner and head brewer Bob Monroe has been cutting against the grain by blogging about his exper iments to create a “great tasting” non alcoholic

Craft brewers said they are seeing the target audience spill well beyond designated drivers and people in recov ery minding their sobriety. Athletes are choosing the zero-proof lagers. Health-conscious millennials are driving growth. The quality improvement eased the possible stigma of being seen drink ing “near beer” at a bar or barbeque.

“A lot of our pilsners do really well,” Blonden said. “The Bohemian Brew that just came out is wonderful. That’s based on a Czech pilsner that I special ize Inin.” Oregon, Deschutes Brewery now makes a nonalcoholic version of its signature Black Butte Porter. Also from Bend, Crux Fermentation Proj ect competes with an IPA and a Hazy IPA. Crux’s marketing director, Jason Randles, said sales at retail in Oregon of nonalcoholic beer are up 20% in the year to date while most other beer seg ments are down.

“I’veapproach.toldeverybody it’s challeng ing,” he said. “And no, I won’t tell you exactly how we do it.”

“We see this trend continuing as craft beer drinkers look for healthier options and more occasions to enjoy locally made, high quality beer,” Ran dles said via email. “We’re also seeing strong support from retailers like Safe way, Fred Meyer, Whole Foods, and evenThisCostco.”month, Sawtooth in Idaho is coming out with a seasonal Oktober fest brew under its nonalcoholic Atmos Brewing label.

Samuel Butler

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Poet Susan Howe describes poetry as an “amorous search under the sign of love for a remembered time at the pitchdark fringes of evening when we gathered togeth er to bless and believe.” I’d like to use that lyrical assessment to describe your life in the coming days—or at least what I hope will be your life. In my astrological opinion, it’s a favorable time to intensify your quest for interesting adventures in intimacy; to seek out new ways to imagine and create togetherness; to collaborate with allies in creating brave excursions into synergy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh was born under the sign of Libra. He said, “The root-word ‘Buddha’ means to wake up, to know, to understand; and he or she who wakes up and understands is called a Buddha.” So according to him, the spiritual teacher Siddhartha Gautama who lived in ancient India was just one of many Buddhas. And by my astrological reckoning, you will have a much higher chance than usual to be like one of these Buddhas yourself in the com ing weeks. Waking up will be your specialty. You will have an extraordinary capacity to burst free of dreamy illusions and murky misapprehensions. I hope you take full advantage. Deeper understand ings are nigh.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the coming weeks, you should refrain from wrestling with problems that resist your solutions. Be discern ing about how you use your superior analytical abilities. Devote yourself solely to manageable dilemmas that are truly responsive to your intelli gent probing. PS: I feel sorry for people who aren’t receptive to your input, but you can’t force them to give up their ignorance or suffering. Go where you’re wanted. Take power where it’s offered. Meditate on the wisdom of Anaïs Nin: “You cannot save people. You can only love them.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Colin Wil son describes sex as “a craving for the mingling of consciousness, whose symbol is the mingling of bodies. Every time partners slake their thirst in the strange waters of the other’s identity, they glimpse the immensity of their freedom.” I love this way of understanding the erotic urge, and rec ommend you try it out for a while. You’re entering a phase when you will have extra power to refine and expand the way you experience blending and merging. If you’re fuzzy about the meaning of the words “synergy” and “symbiosis,” I suggest you look them up in the dictionary. They should be fea tured themes for you in the coming weeks.

innate wisdom. 6. Open yourself more to receiving help and gifts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Conduct your blooming in the noise and whip of the whirlwind,” wrote Gemini poet Gwendolyn Brooks. I love that advice! The whirlwind is her metaphor for the chaos of everyday life. She was telling us that we shouldn’t wait to ripen ourselves until the daily rhythm is calm and smooth. Live wild and free right now! That’s always good advice, in my opin ion, but it will be especially apropos for you in the coming weeks. Now is your time to “endorse the splendor splashes” and “sway in wicked grace,” as Brooks would say.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Don’t look away,” advised novelist Henry Miller in a letter to his lov er. “Look straight at everything. Look it all in the eye, good and bad.” While that advice is appealing, I don’t endorse it unconditionally. I’m a Canceri an, and I sometimes find value in gazing at things sideways, or catching reflections in mirrors, or even turning my attention away for a while. In my view, we Crabs have a special need to be self-pro tective and self-nurturing. And to accomplish that, we may need to be evasive and elusive. In my as trological opinion, the next two weeks will be one of these times. I urge you to gaze directly and en gage point-blank only with what’s good for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): I invite you to be the sexiest, most intriguing, most mys terious Scorpio you can be in the coming weeks. Here are ideas to get you started. 1. Sprinkle the phrase “in accordance with prophecy” into your conversations. 2. Find an image that symbolizes rebirth and revitalization arising out of disruption. Meditate on it daily until you actually experience rebirth and revitalization arising out of disruption.

3. Be kind and merciful to the young souls you know who are living their first lifetimes. 4. Collect deep, dark secrets from the interesting people you know. Employ this infor mation to plan how you will avoid the trouble they endured. 5. Buy two deluxe squirt guns and two knives made of foam rubber. Use them to wage playful fights with those you love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To honor your entrance into the most expansive phase of your astrological cycle, I’m calling on the counsel of an intuitive guide named Nensi the Mercury Priest ess. She offers the following advice. 1. Cultivate a mindset where you expect something unexpected to happen. 2. Fantasize about the possibility of a surprising blessing or unplanned-for miracle. 3. Imagine that a beguiling breakthrough will erupt into your rhythm. 4. Shed a few preconceptions about how your life story will unfold in the next two years. 5. Boost your trust in your deep self’s

ASTROLOGY

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let’s imagine you are in your office or on the job or sitting at your kitchen table. With focused diligence, you’re working on solving a problem or improving a situ ation that involves a number of people. You think to yourself, “No one seems to be aware that I am quietly toiling here behind the scenes to make the magic happen.” A few days or a few weeks later, your efforts have been successful. The problem is resolved or the situation has improved. But then you hear the people involved say, “Wow, I wonder what happened? It’s like things got fixed all by themselves.” If a scenario like this happens, Cap ricorn, I urge you to speak up and tell everyone what actually transpired.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Social reformer Fred erick Douglass (1817-1895) had a growlery. It was a one-room stone cabin where he escaped to think deep thoughts, work on his books, and literally growl. As a ge nius who escaped enslave ment and spent the rest of his life fighting for the rights of his fellow Black people, he had lots of reasons to snarl, howl, and bellow as well as growl. The coming weeks would be an excellent time for you to find or create your own growlery, Tau rus. The anger you feel will be especially likely to lead to constructive changes. The same is true about the deep thoughts you summon in your growlery: They will be extra potent in helping you reach wise practical decisions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Tips to get the most out of the next three weeks: 1. Play at least as hard as you work. 2. Give yourself permission to do anything that has integrity and is fueled by com passion. 3. Assume there is no limit to how much generous joie de vivre you can summon and ex press. 4. Fondle and nuzzle with eager partners as much as possible. And tell them EXACTLY where and how it feels good. 5. Be magnanimous in every gesture, no matter how large or small. 6. Even if you don’t regard yourself as a skillful singer, use singing to transform yourself out of any mood you don’t want to stay in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There’s an ancient Greek saying, “I seek the truth, by which no one ever was truly harmed.” I regard that as a fine motto for you Sagittarians. When you are at your best and brightest, you are in quest of the truth. And while your quests may sometimes disturb the status quo, they often bring healthy transfor mations. The truths you discover may rattle rou tines and disturb habits, but they ultimately lead to greater clarity and authenticity. Now is an excel lent time to emphasize this aspect of your nature.

Those were the early Boomer days of Vietnam War protests, freewheel ing counter-culture movements, Wood stock and lots of experimentation with psychedelics. Alarmed by the social upheaval and what then-President Rich ard Nixon considered rampant LSD use by young Americans, he instigated the War on Drugs in the mid-‘60s. In 1970, Congress passed the Controlled Sub stance Act, effectively halting research on the health benefits of psychedelic mushrooms.But50years later psilocybin stud ies are back. In 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration proclaimed psilocybin a breakthrough therapy in treating severe depression, a designa tion the agency applies to drugs that demonstrate improvement over exist ing treatments. In 2021, the U.S. fed eral government finally re-entered the psilocybin research game, having left the funding during the hiatus to private institutions, including a 1990s Johns

According to a 2020 Pew Trust sur vey, “the Connecticut legislature has started the process toward legaliz ing centers in which veterans and first responders could be administered psi locybin…Texas, Utah and Washington state have set up task forces or funded research into the medical use of psilo cybin. Maryland has created a $1 million fund to study alternative treatments, including psychedelics, for PTSD or traumatic brain injury, and to pay for such treatments for veterans. Ballot ini tiatives that would legalize psilocybin are underway in Colorado and Califor nia. Ann Arbor, Michigan; Denver; Oak land, California; and Seattle, have passed measures that essentially decriminal ize psilocybin mushrooms …” We’re in what some refer to as the “Psychedelic Renaissance,” a bit ironic in that indige nous populations around the world have recognized the beneficial effects of psy chedelics for hundreds of years. It’s not the first time “modern” culture is late to the plant party.

In his book, “How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psy chedelics Teaches Us About Conscious ness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence,” author Michael Pollan examines LSD, psilocybin, Ayahuasca and other compounds for “their poten tial to relieve several kinds of mental distress, including depression, anxiety, and

But not so Oregon fast. Just as with the 2016 process of cannabis legisla tion, Oregon’s psylocibin measure gives counties the ability to opt out. Many that did in 2016 are asking voters to do so again…although it should be noted the 2016 naysayers have since relaxed their opposition to cannabis and, thank you very much, are profiting from their change of mind. So how about a change of mind on this issue as well? How about clearing the way for regulated and supervised psilocybin uniformly avail able to help all Oregonians, young and old, in health- and life-enhancing ways we only just begin to understand? As Michael Pollan says, “This book has tak en me places I’ve never been—indeed, places I didn’t know existed.”

Hopkins study that identified the ben efits of psilocybin when used to treat depression, chronic pain, addiction and anxiety. In 2020, Oregon voters approved a ballot measure to initiate a regulatory and licensing framework that, beginning in 2023, allows patients to take psilocybin under supervision. Oregon is the first state to do so.

As a child, Lewis Carroll’s dream scape masterpiece, “Alice In Wonder land,” was my first encounter with the notion that a mushroom was more than sauteed garnish for red meat or a healthy addition to salad. With the hookah-smoking Caterpillar in the role of what would now be referred to as a “trip sitter” to monitor her experience, Alice nibbled opposite sides of a mush room, one making her taller, the oth er—smaller. (She ultimately settled on her original height, interpreted by some to be Lewis Carroll’s way of encourag ing young people to accept themselves just as they are.) Grace Slick and her band Jefferson Airplane co-opted Alice’s mushroom adventures in the 1967 song “White Rabbit” to extoll LSD use:

But sometimes, some special times, taken separately or together, compas sion, modern research and aboriginal wisdom prevail, resulting in change that is for the good of the whole.

The health benefits of standard, over-the-grocery-counter mushrooms are well known. They’re a rich, low-cal orie source of fiber, protein, antioxi dants, vitamin D and zinc, and are an anti-inflammatory. Mushroom clubs, including in Central Oregon, are show ing up everywhere, as mushroom hunt ers search for porcini, chanterelles and truffles. No special legislation required for these hunter gatherers. That’s not the case for psychedelic varieties.

“Severaladdiction.”ofthe scientists I profile,” he says, “are convinced psychedelics could revolutionize mental health care and our understanding of the mind.” All this sounds like a reason for anyone suf fering with chronic pain, stress, or men tal health challenges to celebrate!

Q: Is it worth replacing the bed room carpet in a home I am planning on listing this winter? -Steve W.

Central Mailbag Answering questions

Oregon Real Estate

Q: Should I buy my first house right now? -Leslie R

A: Well… assuming it is just old as opposed not stained or really dirty, probably not. A lot of buyers plan on making their own changes to the home, so your money is best spent elsewhere. Where is the best place to spend mon ey? I think the best bang for your buck will always be with cleaning, declut tering, organizing. Whether you do it yourself or hire someone for the job, a tidy, clean, home shows so much better and appears to have much more value, than a cluttered dirty home. If you are willing to spend a little more getting

a pre inspection done on your home and having the ability to get the items fixed before being under a contractu al deadline, can take away a lot of the stress that comes with selling a home. Landscaping can also be a pretty cost effective way to raise the curb appeal of your home; fresh bark dust, gravel or a few plants and flowers (less effective in winter) can go a long way to adding curb appeal and value to your home.

A: Lots of ways to tackle this ques tion. The answer is not the same for everyone as everyone’s circumstances can be different. Sure, rates are high er today than they were a few months ago. The consolation prize is that pric es are down and inventory is up, so it is less of a seller’s market today, too. Buyers can begin to offer below asking price, as well as ask for certain conces sions to be made. I am not going to give you a speech about how "historically speaking rates are still low," because prices increased dramatically over the last couple of years. We are now see ing prices stabilizing, down a bit from "the peak" of Spring 2022. The answer to this question really lies with the indi vidual or family making the decision: Weigh your options, run through vari ous scenarios, but ultimately you must make the right decision for you or your family.

Update on a question from a few weeksBackago:in early August we were asked about how many cash vs financed pur chases had been occurring in Bend. While we don’t have the full 3 ter numbers, the most recent Beacon Report indicates that the number of cash purchases increased from quar ter 1 (34, 37, 45 transactions) to quar ter 2 (50, 56, 43 transactions) and so far quarter 3 (52, 47, ? September transac tions). Not any real noticeable trends, especially if you are looking at the Bea con’s graph (check out Beacon Apprais al Group’s website). Looking back through 2020 and 2021 there were more cash transactions going on back then, when compared to right now. That could be explained by people pur chasing a property in cash due to the competitive nature of the real estate market the last couple of years, and lat er taking out a mortgage after the pur chase was complete. I will update this again in the 4
