Sit back, sniff the flowers, feel the warm breezes and enjoy these final May days of “Locals' Bend,” because before you know it, we’ll be feeling the onslaught of tourist season once again. Before that happens, we’re rolling out another edition of our Locals’ Bingo, which you can play by perusing this week’s Feature. Jack Harvel and Chris Williams add to the fun with a little levity of their own—including the “Stuff Tourists Say” matrix and the “Find Rental Housing” decision tree. If you live here, then try to laugh. It’s not likely to lower our crippling rental prices, but it might bring some catharsis. (Ok, landlords, you could laugh and *also* lower the overpriced rents that don’t mirror your mortgages…)

“It doesn’t matter what you say you believe—it only matters what you do.” — Robert Fulghum, “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” The past couple years have been tumultuous and divisive in Central Oregon. The causes are many: a pandemic and the policies that came with it, protests and counter-protests, unaffordable housing, and now, high prices for almost everything else. We’ve been through a lot together, and I’ve often reflected on Robert Fulghum’s book, “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things.” That book’s simple, but valuable life lessons are more relevant now than ever. Here’s a handful: Share Everything. Central Oregonians have been remarkably generous during this difficult time. Our generosity as a region is one of our greatest strengths. We’ll need more of it, lots more in the challenging economic times ahead. Play Fair. Playing fair is essential, but often subjective. Listening to others and honoring their perspectives is a great start. It doesn’t mean we’ll always agree on what is fair, equitable or even right. But when we expect the best, give people the benefit of the doubt and carefully listen, we grow in our understanding and strengthen our relationships. Don’t Hit People. Violence solves nothing. It seems Central Oregon has become more abusive in recent years— not just physically, but also verbally. Not just in person, but online. Taking mean swings at our neighbors would have been

unacceptable 10 years ago. Let’s bring back civility and a sense of mutual respect. Clean up your own mess, and when you hurt someone say you’re sorry. We’ve all been part of some relational messes over the last couple years. We need to begin cleaning up those messes by acknowledging the mess and then doing what we can to repair it. Often this requires apologizing. It also means being willing to forgive… letting go of offenses and not holding onto grudges. Showing up to the “playground” perpetually aggrieved is tiresome for all. Wash your hands before you eat. Thanks to COVID, we’ve all gotten good at washing our hands, haven’t we? It doesn’t matter what you say you believe – it only matters what you do. It’s easy to get wrapped up in what we believe, what others believe or what we think others believe because of their political party, their church, the way they look, the car they drive or the clothes they wear. But if you look at what people actually do on a daily basis, we’re not all that different. We have more in common than not. We work a little, play a little, raise our families and seek to live a good life. We all love Central Oregon. Let’s take a lesson from kindergarten, re-build friendships, play nice and make our region better. Together. —Michael Sipe is a Central Oregon business and community leader.

EDUCATIONAL CRISIS LOOMING

An educational crisis is looming. Recent polls and studies have shown that our educators, teachers and school staff are at the breaking point. Much has been asked for before, during and after the pandemic, and the teachers have given, over and over as they always do. Substitute teachers are difficult to find, often that means if a teacher has to take time off, another teacher is now encumbered with making up the difference. What do teachers want? Time and money. Many parents are now familiar with Canvas, that is the online teaching tool that the district chose and implemented for educators to teach remotely. Now not only does a teacher have to teach in class, but they have to sign up and develop curriculum for online development at the same time. This is basically double the workload. With the same pay. Why aren’t we paying our teachers more? They are professionals! They are the ones seeing/coaching/mentoring our children throughout the day more than parents do. I was shocked to receive a phone call from a polling company asking about how I would feel if my property taxes went up again to pay for school buildings, maintenance etc. My only response which would not be logged in their form was that I

New data on fire risk and a study on fuel reductions in high desert ecosystems comes as Central Oregon approaches fire season By Jack Harvel About 92% of properties in Bend are at risk of being affected by wildfire over the next 30 years, according to data released by the nonprofit First Street Foundation on May 16. The data is the first nationwide property-specific model for the United States, finding that over 30 million properties have at least 1% or greater chance of experiencing wildfire in the next 30 years. Fire risk in Bend is higher the closer a property is to the forests surrounding it on the west and south sides of town. The Awbrey Hall Fire in 1990 and the Skeleton Fire in 1996 collectively burned over 20,000 acres in and around Bend and destroyed over 50 structures. “The lack of a property-specific, climate-adjusted wildfire risk for individual properties has severely hindered everyone from the federal government to your average American,” said Matthew Eby, founder and executive director of First Street Foundation, in a press release. First Street Foundation’s model predicts Central Oregon will get at least 4% hotter over the next 30 years, paired with decreasing humidity. The tool gives property owners more information to protect themselves. “There are things that people can do at the individual, community and landscape level,” said Emily Jane Davis, associate professor at Oregon State University and interim fire program director. “We’re doing a lot of emphasis on defensible space. So, what can you do to prepare the area immediately around your home so that it doesn’t have flammable material?”

To make a defensible space, tall grasses, shrubs and debris should be cleared within 10 feet of a property line. The Deschutes Forest Service does this on a larger scale, thinning hazardous fuels near adjacent communities. Late snowstorms and cool temperatures pushed Central Oregon’s fire season back a bit, but the area is still at an increased risk for fire as the region’s ongoing drought won’t end without at least two years of above average rainfall. “For areas like Klamath, Lake, Deschutes and Crook counties, we are looking at above normal conditions starting in June. And obviously, as you move through the move through the fire season, and you get to August, larger parts of the states are incorporated in that,” Davis said. “The only areas that don’t look to be above normal by August would be northwestern Oregon and northeastern Oregon.” Wildfires have become larger and more frequent in more recent years. Last year’s Bootleg Fire burned over 400,000 acres of southern Oregon, becoming the largest wildfire in the U.S. at the time. In 2020, thousands of people lost their homes during multiple fires on Labor Day Weekend. In Central Oregon and other sagebrush steppe ecosystems, fires are driven by climate change and invasive grass species that are more resilient to fire, increasing the likelihood of fires spreading. OSU released a study on May 16 that recommended ways to reduce fire risk in these specific ecosystems. “It’s a pretty spectacular ecosystem, but it’s incredibly fragile,” said Lisa

Ellsworth, lead author of the study and a range ecologist in OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences, in a press release. “It was named as one of the most endangered ecosystems in North America because it is so fragile and is so impacted by climate change and by invasive species and by changing fire regimes.” Fires naturally occur in these areas every 50-100 years, and native plants tend to grow slowly and spread out. As invasive grass species move in, more land can be ignited and fires can spread, resulting in double the natural fire frequency. “If you get a lightning strike and it hits cheatgrass, those fires can rip—I mean, at some times when you see fires across the northward part of the inner Mountain West, when you see 200,000 acres lighting up in a couple of days, that’s often fires that are in fairly dry areas where cheatgrass is playing a role,” said Erica Fleischman, director of

the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute. A silver lining to this year’s drought is it offers less than favorable conditions for those types of grasses. OSU’s study on reducing sagebrush steppe fires found prescribed burns are most effective at removing fuel loads, but left areas vulnerable to invasive grasses to establishing themselves in burn sites. Mechanical thinning of fuels reduced flame length, intensity and rate of spread but became less effective reducing spread and intensity after three years. Herbicide treatments tend to be the least effective management, that at best led to a shortterm reduction of fuels. “I feel the pressure of time in these systems,” Ellsworth said. “We need to be implementing strategies that preserve our good-condition sagebrush steppe areas and get ahead of this invasive grass and fire feedback cycle that we’re in.”

South Canyon Survey

A group of neighborhood associations is seeking information in its effort to block the sale of a large parcel of undeveloped land the near the Deschutes Courtesy of Save Bend Green Space

A map of Central Oregon Irrigation District’s 140-acre parcel south of the Old Mill District.

ave Bend Green Space, a group of four Bend neighborhood associations, released a survey on May 11 that asks how people use the area and gauges interest in converting a portion of Deschutes South Canyon into a park. Pahlisch Homes is seeking to purchase the property from Central Oregon Irrigation District to eventually develop. The survey lays out two paths to maintain the area as a park: a ballot measure from Bend Park and Recreation Department that would raise the $10 million asking price or raising the money themselves and ceding the property to BPRD. “I was pleasantly surprised to see how many people had taken this survey. So far, I would say maybe 90% of the people are enthusiastic about trying to save it as a natural open space park,” said Judy Clinton, a member of the Save Bend Green Space steering committee. “At some point, we will probably present this to the City Council and to the Bend Parks and Rec board.” COID and Pahlisch have negotiated the terms of the sale of the 80-acre parcel for years. COID will keep about 60 adjacent acres where it operates a power

station and piped canal. SBGS’ concern is that development would diminish the town’s largest remaining piece of undeveloped land. “We’ve got to preserve some of our best open spaces, and that’s why we want to try to save this,” Clinton said. “We were thinking of it as another Shevlin Park, in the center of town with access for all of Bend.” Most of the 80 acres can’t be developed as housing until 2034, or if COID stops operating its hydro facility, under a view easement held by the Mount Bachelor Village Homeowners Association. Just a 9-acre parcel, dubbed “the tongue,” in the northern edge of the property bordering Brookswood Boulevard, can be developed before then. “If they want to put dense housing up on the tongue, that’s perfectly acceptable, but there are constraints there. There are lots of other places in Bend that I think are more suitable for affordable housing. This area is so unique. It is one of the last largest open spaces available in Bend along the river,” Clinton said. COID started negotiations to sell the property five years ago, saying it became

too expensive to manage the area after encampments started popping up. It’s in the process of drawing property lines to create a sellable parcel. “We need to have a lot line adjustment that has a parcel that equals 80 acres that is encompassed by these new lot lines,” said Craig Horrell, managing director of COID. “We don’t have a sellable lot, per se, for our agreement with Pahlisch, so we are moving the lot line to accommodate the sale.” BPRD Executive Director Don Horton said a bond measure could only happen if talks between COID and Pahlisch fall through. The park district operates three trails on the property, and Horton doubts that those trails will go away if a sale is finalized. “There are other smaller trails that are scattered throughout the site that we don’t have legal rights to, but those three primary trials that are in there, we already have the legal right to use those, and we don’t see that going away,” Horton said. “Regardless of what happens here it’s going to end up with long-term use of that property very much similar to how it’s being used today.” COID is a quasi-municipal

organization and can pursue the sale of private land, Horrell said. The land itself has restrictions that could deter overdevelopment.

“We’ve got to preserve some of our best open spaces, and that’s why we want to try to save this.” —JUDY CLINTON “There’s lots of restrictions. You have the water overlay zone, you have significant rock outcroppings that the City protects. All of the land from the top of the bluff down to the river will remain open down to the trails; the trails will all remain, the easements that COID has with the parks district will remain,” Horrell said. “When we interviewed Pahlisch Homes we made it very clear that that needed to be a component of their master plan.” The survey closes on May 31. Horrell said lot lines need to be finalized before the sale can be finalized.

Schenkelberg Resigns

Bend will lose two elected officials at its City Council meeting on May 18

on your favorite loca l businesses Purchase discount gift certiﬁcates online at perks.bendsource.com

end City Councilor Rita Schenkelberg (they/them) announced they’re resigning from the Bend City Council at its next regular meeting on May 18, just a week after Bend Mayor Sally Russell announced she’ll resign on the same date.

Voters elected Schenkelberg to office in 2020 to a term that expires in December 2024. Schenkelberg told The Bulletin they’re leaving because it’s become too difficult to balance the responsibilities of the council with work as a mental health counselor, and the intense harassment they’re subject to. Schenkelberg is the first openly nonbinary member of the City Council and said they’ve been misgendered by members of the public since coming out as nonbinary months ago. City Council will have 30 days to fill Schenkelberg’s seat, and likely another after it appoints a new mayor. All of Bend’s City Councilors must decline the mayorship before a member of the public is eligible, while any resident of Bend can apply to fill vacant City Council seats.

The sights and sounds of another Bend summer By Chris Williams

"Woos" from the cyclepub audible from miles away

his will be my 23rd summer living in Bend, and it is safe to say I’ve seen the full spectrum of visitors who pass through Central Oregon. I hate to shock people, but the secret about this place has spread across the world with no signs of word slowing down. Sitting at my desk, I can already see summer approaching. I “woo” in my head every time the Cycle Pub goes by, get jealous of people walking in swimsuits clearly ready to go soak up some sun in the park, and wish that I was in their shoes having a care-free weekday in Bend. To cope, I decided to poke a little bit of fun at the goofiness brought on by tourist season, knowing I’ve also been one of these people multiple times in my life off visiting other places. So, to prep for the influx of beer drinkers, golfers, families, outdoor lovers and folks just wanting to see some sights and have a good time I present to you my Touritisms.

Croce Plays Croce AJ Croce, son of the late Jim Croce, brings the music of his father to the Tower By Isaac Biehl

hen AJ Croce was just eight days away from turning two, his father, Jim, passed away in a plane crash. Since his father happened to be a beloved singer/songwriter, music has been at the heart of Croce’s life for as long as he can remember. Many are familiar with Jim’s songs; whether it be “I Got A Name,” “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” or “Time In A Bottle,” a song Jim actually wrote for his son. AJ himself has 30-plus years of a career in music that has culminated into eight albums and a terrific streak of playing blues, soul and rock, even collaborating with some of the alltime-greats along the way. Now 50 years old, AJ Croce is currently on tour performing some of his father’s most memorable tunes, his own music and other covers of musicians in a show called “Croce Plays Croce” that will be at the Tower Theatre this weekend. While Croce was enjoying a salmon scramble in Seattle, we spoke over the phone about this tour, musical connections with his dad and the art of covering other artists. Source Weekly: Getting that close to someone’s art can be pretty powerful, I’d imagine. Have you found your relationship with your father’s music evolving at all as you prepped for the tour? AC: I think the first time I felt that connection was in my early 30s. I was archiving a bunch of his home recordings, which were mostly covers. It was in the late ‘60s, he recorded this particular tape and everything on the tape, like 90% of it, were all songs I had covered since I was a teenager. I found this connection and these were really obscure songs by relatively obscure artists. That was like the first connection I had of there being something there I wasn’t aware of. And the idea of doing this show was partially based on the idea that we have this connection that was so much deeper with the stuff that influenced us. SW: You’re doing some renditions of other artists who inspire you. Who else can people expect to hear at the show? AC: That changes every night! It might be Billy Preston, it might be

Brownie McGhee, it could be Allen Toussaint, Professor Longhair, James Booker, it could be anybody. Woody Guthrie. It could be anything. I like the set to be really improvisational. I know there’s a certain amount of time I have on stage and that there’s a certain number of songs of my father’s that people want to hear, so I keep that in mind but otherwise I have a lot of freedom to have fun. SW: With this tour and last year’s “By Request” covers album that you put out, can you speak a little on the art and challenge of covering someone else’s music? AC: I grew up playing jazz and blues and rock and roll, and that was covering people’s stuff. Playing in jazz clubs, you know, that was pretty normal. You just find some way to make it your own. In a way, “By Request” was more about the event of the evening with friends, playing requests from friends. SW: Are you working on any of your own music right now, too? AC: Oh, yeah! Since I’m on tour, as I’m writing I’m demo-ing stuff and recording singles here and there. I was in Minneapolis recording, and now I’m in Seattle, and I’m going to be mixing some of the stuff I recorded a weekand-a-half ago in Minneapolis [laughs]. I’m pretty used to it, but I’m better at home, honestly. SW: What kinds of things inspire your writing these days? AC: Man, inspiration is so unpredictable that I don’t think there’s one particular topic. Even—you might set out to write a story or something. You’ve got to keep it simple. The more complex a story is, the less it makes sense in a song. Keeping it simple is really important, it’s an art. Sometimes I’ll set out to express a thought or an idea and halfway through I go, “oh, gotta start over,” and take this from a new angle. Writing in general is such a different kind of expression every time you do it. Croce Plays Croce Sun., May 22, 7:30pm Tower Theatre 835 NW Wall St., Bend $22-$42

A metronome may cue a transition to the past, a light change may indicate a reflective passage – and the piano anchors the story line, as an object of creative expression. “It’s about choices,” O’Kelley-Leigh says. “What do you do when you meet somebody, what are you cultivating?” While stroke was a pivotal point in both women’s lives, the play celebrates the positive paths that those events brought to light. “We wanted to make something that feels uplifting,” Boyd says. “How do we challenge ourselves to move forward?” Director Michelle Mejaski says the play presented her with a unique challenge. “This is not a typical

production where we start with a vision, then hold auditions and cast the roles. It’s the opposite: the cast (being the playwrights) had the vision already. My job has been to honor that.” “Life is what you make it,” says O’Kelley-Leigh. “I think that’s what this piece is about.” Freedom Off the Page

end area playwrights Kim O’Kelley-Leigh and Ann Boyd bring their shared experience and mutual passion to “Freedom Off the Page,” a new play showing one night only at the Tower Theatre Friday, to benefit Stroke Awareness Oregon. “It’s a collage, a tapestry,” O’Kelley-Leigh says of the one-act play. “It’s not about stroke. It’s about life, friendships and opportunities.” It does chronicle both women’s journeys through stroke recovery, but more than that, it’s about finding purpose in life and developing meaningful relationships. The two playwrights perform the show using dramatization, storytelling, music and dance. The title derives from something O’Kelley-Leigh once said during a piano lesson about playing by ear: “When you’re not looking at the notes, you have freedom off the page,” she says. “And it’s a metaphor for life—just being free and going after what’s in front of you.” O’Kelley-Leigh and Boyd each came to Bend for a change of career, O’Kelley-Leigh from Los Angeles and Boyd from Chicago. “We both lost both our parents. We were both recovering from stroke. We both wanted to find a way to spend more time with our kids,” – and all of these things independently, O’Kelley-Leigh says. The two met at St. Charles Bend when Stroke Awareness Oregon co-founder Lawnae Hunter approached them about starting a stroke group. “We started the group because we wanted to give back to the stroke community.” The process of developing the play mirrored the way the two women’s lives had interwoven. “I wrote my part, she wrote her part, and we wrote the piano lessons – the backbone of the play – together,” O’Kelley-Leigh says. The story of “Freedom” is a blending of perspectives, Boyd explains. “We were writing about three worlds – the world of the piano lesson in real time, the world of our pasts and what we call the theatrical world, whether that’s an inner monologue, a story, or conversation with God.” Themes developed through

Springtime Rhubarb Hummus

LITTLE BITES

Now’s a great time to plant rhubarb, and maybe even enjoy its early bounty

early-riser—was also a popular spring tonic ingredient. You might think that dandelions are too bitter for your tender sensibilities, but my rhubarb hummus will change that. Creamy, nutty and tangy, it smothers the dandelions to the point where their flavor is not overwhelming. Indeed, dandelion never tasted so mild-mannered. And some tart, juicy slices of rhubarb sprinkled on top play the role of early-season tomatoes. Dandelion and Rhubarb salad with Rhubarb Hummus This feral salad contains many strong flavors, highlighted by bitter dandelions and the floral acidity of the rhubarb. In addition to making dandelions edible to those who might otherwise find them too strong, this hummus also does a lovely job saucing up meat, pasta and vegetable dishes. Rhubarb Hummus 1 16-ounce can of garbanzo beans, or about a cup and a half of soaked garbanzos 3 tablespoons tahini 1 teaspoon salt 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ cup olive oil 4 ounces of rhubarb – a good sized stalk – chopped 2 tablespoons lemon juice For serving: fresh dandelion greens – flowers, stalks and roots too, if you wish – and more chopped rhubarb. Add the hummus ingredients to the blender and blend until they are smooth. If the blender won’t make a proper vortex, add liquid from the garbanzo can or cooking pot. Adding all of the liquid in a can, about a cup, will make a thinner hummus fit to dress a salad. For a hummus to use as a dip, add less water, which will make a thicker hummus. To make the salad, toss the chopped dandelion greens with the hummus and scatter with chopped rhubarb. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

McMinnville’s loss is Bend’s gain, as a food truck serving up mini donuts moves into the area. Crave Mini Donuts, owned by Heather Thayer, was once a cart located on the west side of the mountains, around McMinnville, but Thayer has recently moved to the sunny side of Oregon, setting up shop at the Bend Factory Stores on S. Highway 97. Rotating flavors make things interesting, but regular donut flavors include Boston Crème, Lemon, Maple Bacon, Cinnamon Roll, Raspberry Cheesecake and Funfetti. Crave Mini Donuts is open Thursday through Saturday from 9am to 2pm, at 61334 S. Hwy 97 in Bend.

If you know any rhubarb recipes that call for less than a cup of sugar, you are a statistical anomaly. It’s understandable, given the culinary perfection made possible by the combination of rhubarb and strawberries—with or without pie crust. The tart, juicy stalk of the rhubarb plant creates such an indisputably glorious flavor in concert with berries, fruit and sugar, what could possibly be gained by doing anything else? A lot, it turns out, as there are savory ways to use rhubarb, too. Its acidity can replace lemon or vinegar in soup, can act like a tomato in salad, or something exotic in curry. Just remember to stick to the stalks and avoid the leaves, which have toxic levels of oxalic acid and are considered inedible. The rhubarb in my neighborhood began growing about a month ago. I ushered in the season with a sour stew of lamb, potatoes, onions, carrots, celery and garlic. The tang of the rhubarb took the place of a glass of wine that I might otherwise have poured into the soup pot. Then I made a rhubarb-based sauce, in which I sautéed sliced rhubarb with onions and garlic, and then pureed it. The flavor of that savory rhubarb sauce was similar to that of an applesauce one might enjoy on a pork chop. But of all of the savory ways I’ve prepared rhubarb, hummus is the best. Rhubarb comes from Tibet, whence it spread north and east. Marco Polo brought some plants back to Europe from northern China, and the descendents of these plants eventually made their way across the pond to the New World. Before it was everyone’s favorite substrate for vanilla ice cream, rhubarb was used medicinally in treating a variety of ailments. During the heyday of the Silk Road, dried rhubarb root was so prized that it could be more expensive than cinnamon, saffron or even opium. Today, modern science is vindicating many of the old medicinal uses for rhubarb. Compounds extracted from rhubarb are being used in chemotherapy and to treat Alzheimer’s. It’s also a powerful antimicrobial and antioxidant. When rhubarb arrived from Europe, it’s thought to have first taken hold in Maine, an appropriately cantankerous place for this sour plant. It spread across the northern half of the country, establishing itself wherever there was a winter cold snap. Rhubarb has a way of finding neglected corners of gardens and alleyways, where it can live in peaceful obscurity. Thanks to this hearty, independent streak, people discover, adopt or otherwise inherit rhubarb more often than they plant it. I make my rhubarb hummus thin enough to use as a dressing for a strong-flavored salad, such as with dandelion leaves or other wild greens. It’s a bitter, earthy way to usher in the new season in the spirit of a “spring tonic.” Back in the pioneering homesteader times, families would prepare a spring tonic at the end of a long winter. It was made of fresh plants and whatever else they could scrounge from the springtime landscape, to get a dose of nutrients and stimulate the digestive system. Rhubarb, rich in vitamins and minerals, was a popular ingredient in many spring tonics. Dandelion—another nutritious

THE BAD GUYS: Sam Rockwell as an anti-hero wolf who, along with his team of thieves, starts pretending to be a good guy in order to eventually get away with bad guy stuff. With a voice cast featuring Marc Maron, Zazie Beetz, Craig Robinson, Richard Ayoade, Awkwafina and more, this is the most irrationally excited I’ve been for an animated film in a long time. Regal Old Mill DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS: Sam Raimi returns to the superhero genre in what I hope is at least as good as the other big multiverse movie this year, “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” Here’s also hoping that this brings some of the missing MCU characters back to the fore like The Fantastic Four and X-Men. My nerd glee is bursting. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, Mcmenamins DOWNTON ABBEY: A NEW ERA: It’s time to check in again with America’s second favorite group of British aristocrats as they allow a Hollywood crew to film a movie at their beloved Downton. I hope they keep making these movies forever because Maggie Smith is a treasure. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub THE DUKE: Jim Broadbent plus Helen Mirren should equal all butts in seats, and this quirky truelife tale deserves all the butts. Charming across the board. Tin Pan Theater, Sisters Movie House EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE: Martial arts, sci-fi and mind-f*ck combine for this jaw-dropping showcase of the brilliant Michelle Yeoh and the unsung comedic chops of Jamie Lee Curtis. From the Daniels, this is a breathtaking work of imagination that uses cinematic techniques we haven’t seen since the heyday of Spike Jonze and Michele Gondry. Regal Old Mill, Tin Pan Theater, Odem Theater Pub FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE: I’m not sure if anyone is still invested in this franchise, but Jude Law has been giving a pretty wonderful performance as Dumbledore, so I’m definitely along for the ride. There are a lot of cool thematic ideas happening in this series, so here’s hoping this continues the trend. It’s also just nice to be back in the Wizarding World. Regal Old Mill FIRESTARTER: The last five years have been another renaissance in terms of Stephen King adaptations, so here’s hoping this keeps up the trend of them mostly being surprisingly watchable. Director Keith Thomas is responsible for the great horror flick “The Vigil,” so I’m really looking forward to seeing his take on this King classic. Regal Old Mill

HAPPENING: The best movie about reproductive rights made in a very long time. This should be required viewing in high schools and college. Sisters Movie House THE LOST CITY: The combination of Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and Brad Pitt in a romantic adventure along the lines of Romancing the Stone means I’m there for it. When Tatum leans into big, dumb and goofy he’s a damn riot, and Pitt’s flowing hair and swarthy heroics make this look like a blast. Regal Old Mill

THE NORTHMAN: From Robert Eggers, the director of “The Lighthouse,” comes this epic Viking revenge saga filled with some of the most insane visuals we’ve seen in years. As excited as I am for the movie itself, I’m mostly just elated to see Bjork acting again since her 2000 breakthrough “Dancer in the Dark.” Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2: I have it on trusted authority that this one is better than the first and has an all-time great comedic performance from the now (possibly?) retired Jim Carrey. Full disclosure, I used to work with one of the writers on this film and consider him a friend but would be excited for another great Jim Carrey role either way.

By Jared Rasic

ostalgia is a tricky lens through which to view the past, especially pop culture. A movie or a show that we grew up with carries much more emotional cache than something we just stumbled across on Hulu at 4pm on a Thursday. “Star Wars” is a perfect example: For some people (me included), the original trilogy is so deeply connected with childhood and the formation of how we viewed movies and used our imaginations that they’re a part of our DNA. When I was a tyke, Stephen King was my “Star Wars.” The first book I can ever remember reading was “Pet Semetary” and not a year of my life has gone by where I haven’t read or re-read at least one of his books. I love that new generations keep discovering his books and modern filmmakers keep taking a stab at adapting the books or remaking the movies from the ‘70s and ‘80s. The 1984 film version of “Firestarter” is one of the first horror flicks I had ever seen and I remember it scaring the living hell out of me. As a seven-year-old I was terrified of little girls giving me dirty looks and then telekinetically bursting into flames. When I saw that Blumhouse (the production company responsible for “Paranormal Activity” and hundreds of other modern horror films) was filming a remake, I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to go back and rewatch the original and see if it still scared the crap out of me. I’m sad to say that not only is the original not very SOURCE_THC_BathBodyCareSale.pdf 1 scary, but aside from a wonderful performance by a nine-year-old Drew Barrymore, there’s not much to

recommend. Martin Sheen is barely in the movie as the main villain, George C. Scott is (ughhhhhhhh) horribly playing a Native man named Rainbird, and David Keith just doesn’t have the chops to carry the movie as Barrymore’s dad, Andy, a psychic on the run with his little girl from an off-the-books government agency, It’s a fast-paced thriller more than a horror movie, as right from the jump Andy and his daughter Charlie are on the run. Amazingly enough, I think the remake might actually do a better job adapting King’s book into something more emotional and intense. First of all, Zac Efron is fantastic as Andy, balancing the psychic pain of his swelling brain with a genuinely great chemistry with Ryan Kiera Armstrong as his daughter Charlie. They have a lived-in connection that feels honest, giving the movie an emotional center that the original doesn’t have. On top of that, Michael Greyeyes is a much better choice as Rainbird, the pacing and filmmaking is much slicker and the 94-minute runtime keeps everything moving. Sadly, the movie still isn’t scary. It’s better than the original, yes, but ultimately what we have here is an origin story for what could either be a superhero or a villain. We’ve seen this type of story about a youngster discovering their powers so many times in the decades since the original that filmmaker Keith Thomas needed to come at the idea from a different angle. But 2022’s “Firestarter” is just another version of “X-Men,” but 5/16/22 8:13 AM with horrific burnings. Maybe “Firestarter” isn’t supposed to be scary.

You won’t like her when she’s angry.

Instead, it can just exist as a cautionary tale for preteen girls not to suppress their feelings and to be themselves. King’s novel is arguably not one of his best and certainly not one of his scariest, but there should be a way to give people the fear of spontaneously bursting into flames because a little girl looks at you funny. As it stands, this is just a slightly bloodier version of “Turning Red.” I guess that’s pretty scary. Firestarter

Who can say that rattlers are some of their closest friends? This guy. By Jim Anderson

rom the first day I set foot in Oregon—literally—rattlesnakes came into my life. It took place after I was leaving the old Hampton Station, out east of Bend on Highway 20, having stopped there for a cold Pepsi. It was the last week in September and a huge line of thunderstorms was ahead of me on and above that glorious snowcapped Cascade skyline, and I was wondering what Bend would be like. As my old 1947 Harley carried me past the Millican store I spotted a snake starting across the pavement. I’ve always had a curious nature about snakes, so I cut back on the throttle— and I can still hear that magnificent sound of that Harley engine purring down—applied brakes and went by the snake slowly. I could see it was a rattler, my first one for Oregon. How could I resist? I brought the old Harley to a stop, pushed out the kickstand and ran back to get a closeup view. Yep, it was a big one with a goodsized rattle, which went erect and started shaking as I came close to it. What a sight! What a sound! What a thrill! Oh, how I wished my camera wasn’t out of film. That snake was posing for me and I think I even saw a big grin on his face… From that day on, Oregon’s rattlesnakes were my close friends, and every opportunity I had to share that unconditional love for them was a gift from On High. Not everyone remembers that their main source of protein comes from the small—and destructive— rodents they prey on. Can’t beat that with a stick… They also possess a builtin warning system that most humans recognize and do all they can to avoid. And they do not go out of their way to inject venom in people like they do obnoxious rodents. Yes, a coiled rattler can generally strike the distance of about half its body length, and if you stand there and get bit…well… . So, if you’re near a nice body of water in the warm months with lots of brush, or a rocky hillside, keep a thought in your mind about buzztails, and if you hear one, stop and think—not about killing it, please—but about both of you going home peacefully. When I went to work for Oregon Museum of Science and Industry as science teacher, camp director, bus driver, photographer and staff naturalist, many wonderful opportunities came to me to share that love of snakes and do everything I could to impart a keen sense of curiosity and respect in young people, especially at Camp Hancock. The entire staff of that marvelous

camp was all for snakes, fossilized or living. I was sent over to Hancock to open it up and be the boss at times when the regular camp director couldn’t get there until after the last week of school. When that was over I’d take the old 26-passenger Ford bus the museum called “The Space Cruiser” full of kids of all ages on science trips all around Oregon and the West. And I got paid to do it! Well, one day in the mid-‘60s while headed for Bend on Highway 97 with my new wife, Harriet, and our brand new son, Dean (whose oldest married daughter, Mary-Catherine, just made me a Great Grandpa two days before my 94th birthday), a state policeman came up behind me with siren blaring and blue lights flashing. I had just come to a stop, and he was already at my side window asking, “Are you James Oscar Anderson Jr.?” When I replied that I was, he said, “Please follow me, you have to make an emergency phone call to Salem.” And away we went, him up front with siren wailing, blue lights flashing and me right behind him. The first pay phone we came to was at Deschutes Junction. He handed me a piece of paper with a number on it, “That’s the number for the Salem Hospital, ask for Dr. McCallum.” I did as instructed and within a few minutes I was talking to the doctor. I had never met him, but knew his wife, a nurse who was also the Camp Hancock camp nurse. He said, “Jim, my wife tells me you’ve just returned from a venomous animal symposium in Arizona; what’s the latest treatment for rattlesnake bite?” I thought about that for a minute. “I think it’s tourniquet, cut and suck and horse serum if available,” and then I

added, “What’s up?” “Oh,” he replied, “I have a 16-yearold kid from McMinnville who was bitten by a rattlesnake while reaching under a rock to capture it.” “Where on his hand was he bitten?” I asked. “On the end of his finger,” he replied. “If that’s Al St. John,” I said, “tell him to live with it and suffer; from what I’ve heard he’s been doing that since he was 6 years old!” Well, St. John survived that one and others like it over the years, and today he’s Oregon’s best-known, bestread, best-informed herpetologist. He’s authored a wonderful field guide, “Reptiles of the Northwest: California to Alaska, Rockies to the Coast," and numerous articles on the range and welfare of these fascinating creatures. And I probably wouldn’t get away with telling this story if he wasn’t one of my dearest old pals. Sue Anderson

Over a Pint: With Bridge 99’s Trever Hawman The brewer of an IPA called Intolerant is anything but By Brian Yaeger

Brian Yaeger

Hanging out at another brewery in the “buds and suds” district, Craft Kitchen and Brewery.

n a continuing effort to get to know brewers (or winemakers, distillers, bakers, chefs or anyone who makes our lives tastier) more holistically, I sit down with them and get to know them better. Over a pint. To do this, I invite someone out for beers—just not the ones he or she makes, because this isn’t about plugs. This time let’s meet Bridge 99 Brewery’s owner/brewer, Trever Hawman. I first met Hawman in the fall of 2013, fresh off the launch of Bridge 99— named for the angler’s paradise on the Metolius River (and not, at least overtly, for the number of bottles on the wall). Although he had no prior professional brewing experience, he and his wife of nearly 26 years, Angel, emulated the business model of a brewery that had opened two years earlier, Below Grade, referencing their nano brewing system literally tucked away in their basement. But unlike that brewing company (which closed two years later), Bridge 99 has emerged from Hawman’s basement and expanded from a two-barrel system to 15 barrels and is set to turn 10 next year. Bridge 99’s taproom is frequently crowded with fans drawn by an extensive tap list, popular food trucks and, occasionally, adorable puppies available to rescue at Paws and Pints. Another business Bridge 99 outlived is Wubba’s BBQ, which was the first spot to give the brewery tap handles, making it the de facto brewpub. I connected with Hawman down the road at Craft Kitchen and Brewery. Within minutes, Craft’s co-owner Courtney Stevens’ eyes well up talking about how Hawman is the most considerate, kind person she knows. There are certainly some brewers who don’t make it to other breweries very often (for one, hopefully they love the beer they brew and also, they can put everything on their own tab). But Hawman likes visiting other spots to see what they’re doing. He says that’s how he explored

hazy IPAs as they were emerging as the dominant style. Craft’s The Juice is Loose is a great example of the style and I’m not even a “Haze Bro.” For his part, Hawman ordered the pale ale, then ordered it again—a sign of a great beer. Making great beer was something Hawman did as a hobby when not working construction. That’s what brought Angel and him out from their hometown of Walla Walla, Washington. Like Craft’s Mosaic Pale Ale, Mosaic happens to be a primary aroma hop in Bridge 99’s own Intolerant IPA. The beer is a departure from Hawman’s early naming convention where his beers honored beloved landmarks around the Willamette National Forest. Wizard Falls IPA is one of the few OG beers that still graces his taps, and another, Rock Crawler Red Ale, remains a fan favorite. I didn’t ask Hawman why he named his IPA Intolerant. But, given how inescapable political events are, what I heard was someone who wholeheartedly espouses tolerance and pluralism. He understands everyone’s different. It’s something we, collectively, seem to have forgotten. It applies to all things. It’s not about politics, although that’s part of it. There’s no one way to do something just as there’s no one beer we all need to enjoy. If there were, we’d all be happy drinking Coors. And as Hawman pointed out, that beer is great and satisfies millions. But some of us need a little Intolerance. Ultimately, for a guy who started off expecting to sell a few kegs here and there, maybe fill some growlers for neighbors and such, Hawman is pleased with the path he’s chosen. There are challenges and hurdles galore along it, but he gets to help build community. And sling beer. “Some days I wake up and can’t believe what I do. Some days I wonder why I got myself into this mess. But there are more good days than bad days.”

TRAPPING • GASSING • RESULTS

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I like Joan Didion’s definitions of self-respect. As you enter a favorable phase for deepening and enhancing your self-respect, they may be helpful. Didion said self-respect is a “sense of one’s intrinsic worth,” and added, “People who respect themselves are willing to accept the risk that the venture will go bankrupt, that the liaison may not turn out to be one in which every day is a holiday. They are willing to invest something of themselves.” And maybe the most essential thing about self-respect, according to Didion, is that it is “a discipline, a habit of mind that can never be faked but can be developed, trained, coaxed forth.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Reality is not simply there; it does not simply exist,” claimed author Paul Celan. “It must be sought out and won.” I think that is excellent advice for you right now. But what does it mean in practical terms? How can you seek out and win reality? My first suggestion is to put your personal stamp on every situation you encounter. Do something subtle or strong to make each event serve your specific interests and goals. My second suggestion is to discern the illusions that other people are projecting and avoid buying into those misunderstandings. My third suggestion is to act as if it’s always possible to make life richer, more vivid, and more meaningful. And then figure out how to do that. CANCER 21-July 22):

(June

Wilma Mankiller was the first female Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. She said, “The cow runs away from the storm, while the buffalo charges directly toward it—and gets through it quicker.” Political analyst Donna Brazile expounded on Mankiller’s strategy: “Whenever I’m confronted with a tough challenge, I do not prolong the torment. I become the buffalo.” I recommend Mankiller’s and Brazile’s approach for you and me in the coming days, my fellow Cancerian. Now please excuse me as I race in the direction of the squall I see brewing in the distance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The New Yorker is an influential Pulitzer Prize-winning magazine that features witty writing and impeccable fact-checking. In 2017, its stories exposed the extensive sexual misconduct committed by movie mogul Harvey Weinstein—and helped lead to his prosecution. How did the magazine get its start? It was co-founded in 1925 by Harold Ross, who had dropped out of school at age 13. He edited every issue for the next 26 years. I’m sensing the possibility of a comparable development in your life, Leo. In the coming months, you may get involved in a project that seems to be beyond the reach of your official capacities or formal credentials. I urge you to proceed as if you can and will succeed. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo-born Jocko Willink is a retired naval officer and author. In his book Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual, he lays down his manifesto: “Become the discipline— embrace its cold and relentless power. And it will make you better and stronger and smarter and faster and healthier than anything else. And most important: It will make you free.” While I don’t expect you to embrace Willink’s rigorous ethic with the same fanatical grip, I think you will benefit from doing the best you can. The cosmic rhythms will support you if you make a fun and earnest effort to cultivate liberation through discipline.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Some nights you are the lighthouse, some nights the sea,” writes Libran author Ocean Vuong. According to my astrological analysis, you are better suited to be the lighthouse than the sea in the coming days. Lately, you have thoroughly embodied the sea, and that has prepared you well to provide illumination. You have learned new secrets about the tides and the waves. You are attuned to the rhythms of the undercurrents. So I hope you will now embrace your role as a beacon, Libra. I expect that people will

look to your radiance to guide and inspire them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Movie people are possessed by demons, but a very low form of demons,” observes author Edna O’Brien. She should know. She has hung out with many big film stars. Since you’re probably not in the movie business yourself, your demons may be much higher quality than those of celebrity actors and directors. And I’m guessing that in the coming weeks, your demons will become even finer and more interesting than ever before—even to the point that they could become helpers and advisors. For the best results, treat them with respect and be willing to listen to their ideas. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m all in favor of you getting what you yearn for. I have no inhibitions or caveats as I urge you to unleash all your ingenuity and hard work in quest of your beautiful goals. And in the hope of inspiring you to upgrade your ability to fulfill these sacred prospects, I offer you a tip from Sagittarian author Martha Beck. She wrote, “To attract something that you want, become as joyful as you think that thing would make you.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): According to author Caroline Myss, “You should see everything about your life as a lesson.” Whoa! Really? Each trip to the grocery store should be a learning opportunity? Myss says yes! For example, let’s say you’re in the snack foods aisle and you’re tempted to put Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips and Lay’s Barbecue Potato Chips in your cart. But your gut is screaming at you, “That stuff isn’t healthy for you!” And yet you decide to ignore your gut’s advice. You buy and eat both bags. Myss would say you have squandered a learning opportunity: “You’ve harmed yourself by blocking your intuitive voice,” she writes. Now, in accordance with astrological omens, Capricorn, here’s your homework assignment: Regard every upcoming event as a chance to learn how to trust your intuition better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An Aquarian poet was disturbed when a suitor told her, “I’m really very fond of you.” She responded, “I don’t like fond. It sounds like something you would tell a dog. Give me love, or nothing. Throw your fond in a pond.” I don’t advise you to adopt a similar attitude anytime soon, Aquarius. In my oracular opinion, you should wholeheartedly welcome fondness. You should honor it and celebrate it. In itself, it is a rich, complex attitude. And it may also lead, if you welcome it, to even more complex and profound interweavings.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I need a playlist of all the songs I used to love but forgot about,” wrote Tumblr blogger Yuyuuyuyuu. I think you could use such a playlist, too, Pisces. In fact, I would love to see you receive a host of memos that remind you of all the things you love and need and are interested in—but have forgotten about or neglected. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to recover what has been lost. I hope you will re-establish connections and restore past glories that deserve to accompany you into the future.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In defining the essential elements at play in a typical Aries person’s agenda, I’m not inclined to invoke the words “sometimes” or “maybe.” Nor do I make frequent use of the words “periodically,” “if,” or “ordinarily.” Instead, my primary identifying term for many Aries characters is “NOW!!!” with three exclamation points. In referring to your sign’s experiences, I also rely heavily on the following descriptors: pronto, presto, push, directly, why not?, engage, declare, activate, venture into, enterprising, seize, deliver, and wield. You are authorized to fully activate and deploy these qualities in the next three weeks.

them with the original insult. If we can, however, restoring vitality to the affected area is child’s play. These restrictions are involved in many health challenges: developmental, digestive, biomechanical, cognitive, behavioral and cardiovascular issues; chronic pain; even allergies and other auto-immune challenges. The good news is that restrictions can be released, restoring normalcy to affected tissues, eliminating both the symptoms and their cause. Thirty years ago, the miraculous stories of healing and recovery coming out of the alternative health world seemed too good to be true, even though they’ve been commonplace among traditional cultures and Western medicine for centuries. Medical research has removed some of the mystery. For example, neurologists and psychologists have shown how our thinking programs our brain and, in turn, affects our health. Our environment and experiences and how we react to them activate certain genes and turn off others.

Without our awareness, our brain automatically parks in our tissues any physical, emotional or spiritual insult that exceeds our ability to process it in the moment. ical restrictions and afflictive emotions, beliefs and attitudes buried in my patients’ tissues. While these “treasures” have no intrinsic value, releasing them often lead my patients to health and vitality. The subsequent 35 years have taught me how and why physical and emotional trauma lands in our tissues, why it’s so problematic, and how to safely release it and restore normalcy to the affected tissues. To summarize, without our awareness, our brain automatically parks in our tissues any physical, emotional or spiritual insult that exceeds our ability to process it in the moment. There, like a pirate radio station, it continuously communicates dis-ease to our central nervous system and every cell in our body. From the outset, this parked content is doing damage by reducing fluid and energy exchange and increasing friction and drag. When symptoms arise often years or decades later, we rarely connect

Therefore, many conditions formerly assumed to be genetic are not. Often, they are projected, taught, learned, taken on, etc. Frequently, simply discovering a restriction or buried content effects a release. Failing that, gentle manual therapy or a few timely questions and the patient’s permission will do the trick. Since we can’t escape the BodyMind, working with it is one of the healthiest investments a person will ever make. Sit back, relax, and breathe. Our next column will focus on trauma, what it is, how it works and how we treat it. —For 35 years, Mike Macy, Licensed Massage Therapist, has helped patients experiencing pain and other health challenges.

Though often assumed to be separate, body and mind have always been indivisible. Traditional cultures have long understood this. Chinese medicine recognized it 5,000 years ago. Even Western medicine now recognizes acy that our abdominal organs act as a second brain; but we’re talking about more than gut instincts, intuition or even every cell’s 24/7/365 communication with every other cell. We’re talking about not just the brain or nervous system, but the mind and how it’s everywhere. I stumbled upon the BodyMind world in 1987 after being rear-ended at 50 miles per hour. Acupressure relaxed my muscles enough to let the massage therapist massage, the chiropractor adjust and me Nordic ski race through that first winter. While the acupressurist held my points and reminded me to breathe, I’d get insights about and solutions to issues I’d been wrestling with. All that launched me on this life of crime, namely using my hands to find and liberate treasures like mechan-

TAKE ME HOME

By James Keane Licensed broker

Doing Your Due Diligence Taking some simple steps

in the evenings when most folks return home from work. This is just one example; it only takes me a few minutes to do and can really aid me in getting a feel for an area. One thing you can do from the car is give yourself a “test commute.” Assuming you don’t work from home, after work, drive to your prospective house and see what the commute is like. Pull up a zoning map. I will write that again: PULL UP A ZONING MAP. Here is Bend’s: (bendoregon.gov/home/ showdocument?id=3296) Make sure you understand what your zoning allows and what it prohibits. Take notice of what types of zoning are near your home/neighborhood. Empty lots or fields may not always remain there. Taking a few minutes to further educate yourself about an area or neighborhood’s zoning is time well spent and can be done from your couch or kitchen table. Another easy thing one can do is to review any applicable HOA rules or CC&Rs. Western Title makes it super easy: westerntitle.com/ccr. Just select the county and subdivision name, and you can review them on the spot. That way you can quickly and efficiently determine if what you would like to do is allowed in the specific neighborhood, along with a host of other great information. I’m a big fan of keeping it simple, and that is the intention here: Invest some time inspecting an area or neighborhood; you will learn a lot, I promise! There is a wealth of information online about zoning, and CC&Rs, so take the time to review and understand these items. Most importantly, ask questions of your real estate agent, escrow officers and inspectors as well.

hen moving into a “new” home there are many uncertainties, many of which cannot be realized until paperwork has been signed and the move is complete. Nobody knows you and your preferences better than you do. It is imperative that each buyer takes the time to do their own due diligence. How does one do their own due diligence properly? No checklist would ever be comprehensive enough to cover all properties and situations, but I do have a few techniques that have really helped me over the years. Everyone has their own personal preferences in terms of neighborhoods, homes and features. These suggestions are simply meant to allow you to do your own research and come to your own conclusions. I will not be discussing title reports or professional inspections like home inspections, well tests, septic inspections, sewer scopes, etc. What I will be discussing is things anyone can do to help make sure that they are making the best decision for their own preferences. The first thing I like to do once I see a property online that I want to tour is load up my dogs and take them for a walk in the neighborhood around the property. If you are one of the dozens of people in Bend that does not have a K-9 companion, don’t panic, you can just go for a walk in the neighborhood all the same. Why not drive? Walking allows me to take my time and move slowly; I can notice things that I would have missed if I was driving. I like to walk my dogs at various times too, like once in the morning, once in the evening, maybe a weekend, if possible, too. If you only go by mid-day, you may not get to see that parking becomes an issue
