“I always avoided the dentist until I met Dr. Arredondo. I had an actual fear and would only go in when I had tooth pain. I had heard about Dr. Arredondo through a co-worker and thought I’d give him a try. I scheduled a comprehensive exam and found I needed quite a bit of work. I was nervous at first, but with each appointment I started to look forward to the next, knowing I was ensuring the health and longevity of my teeth. Dr. Arredondo helped me get over my fear of dentists and has helped give me confidence through an amazing smile. Thank you Dr. Arredondo and your amazing staff!!”

RECENTLY I DECIDED TO TRY TO TAKE TIME OUT EVERY DAY TO REFLECT ON THE THINGS THAT I’M GRATEFUL FOR, PARTICULARLY THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED ON THAT GIVEN DAY. When I remember to take a moment for reflection, I’m overwhelmed with all the blessings in my life and it makes it easier for me to accept the things I’m not so grateful for!

Now that it’s full-tilt Fall, we can all be thankful that summer’s forest fire season is behind us. This issue spotlights the hard-working volunteers and staff of the USDA Fire Service who work to protect the Deschutes National Forest and most importantly, to keep us safe when forest fires ensue. Read more in our “(Fire) Safe with Gratitude” story.

This issue also shines a light on Saving Grace, the local nonprofit that provides refuge for victims of violence. When we recognize how domestic violence and intimate partner violence affects women, children and families, we can all learn to be a saving grace and create safer communities.

Be sure to see this issue’s Open House feature, a story of how a craftsman set out to revive a nearly 100-year-old farmhouse on land that tells the story of Bend’s early history.

The following pages also offer you delicious recipes for autumn food and fun refreshments. Here’s to Fall and giving thanks!

(FIRE)SAFE WITH GRATITUDE FOREST SERVICE PROTECTS RESOURCES YEAR ROUND

GRATITUDE ABOUNDS FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE DESCHUTES NATIONAL FOREST. After another dramatic fire season in the Pacific Northwest, and with the Deschutes National Forest encompassing nearly 1.6 million acres, we are thankful for the Forest Service that keeps our environment safe year round. The role of the Deschutes National Forest’s USDA Fire Service is multi-faceted in the fireadapted ecosystem of Central Oregon: it landscapes and preps forest land, fights wildfire, and recovers the land after fire season while also managing recreation and education. For this mission, the agency relies on a multitude of workers, many of them volunteers.

“We are grateful to have the largest volunteer program in the country of any forest program,” says Public Affairs Officer for the Deschutes National Forest, Jean Nelson-Dean. For the Forest Service—both staff and volunteers, we are grateful too.

Acting Fire Management Officer, Cascade Division of the Sisters Ranger Station

With a grandfather, mother, father, two uncles and a cousin who worked in the Forest Service, Larae Guillory grew up in Wallowa, Oregon where she learned to be a steward of the land. It was natural to join what she calls the “family business.” By nine years old, she had already written a letter that proclaimed her plan for the future, which included working on fire engines and being a crew boss.

“So far,” she says, “I have done all that and more.” Guillory has been a Hotshot, senior firefighter, rappeller and squad leader. “I was always taught to respect land, respect wildlife, and to give back even in small ways,” Guillory says. She was taught the land is for the public and for generations to come. We can all be stewards of the land she adds, by leaving the land better than you found it—"It’s

Asa Fields grew up in the small town of Withee, Wisconsin and became interested in the Forest Service to pursue an active, intense outdoor job where he would get to travel, be challenged mentally and physically and learn new skills. He has learned that fighting wildfire relies on layers of tasks.

BEAUTIFUL NEW ARRIVALS!

While Fields worked crews fighting the Milli and Nash Fires of 2017, and the Boxcar and Umpqua complex fires of 2018, he is fascinated at the science behind fire. “It's very interesting to learn more about the science behind what a fire is doing and how the decisions on fighting it are made,” he says.

assignment fighting a wildfire might be collecting detailed intelligence on the fire such as: live fuel moisture samples to estimate fire spread potential, recon on a fire to find ideal lookout locations, escape routes, safety zones and sizing up roads/trails as possible fire lines. “It’s humbling to be a cog in the machine of fighting a fire,” Fields says. “Even small tasks get things done for the greater good.”

The care of a vital natural resource like the Deschutes National Forest consists of yearround maintenance: from landscaping to controlled burns. An Assistant Fire Engine Operator, John Bitzberger is also a peer leader where he enjoys working with the workforce that puts in attention and care to learn about forest management. Originally from Riverside, California and now based in Crescent, Oregon, Bitzberger says, “I felt a calling to help people, teach, and have a larger role in society.” He pursued work for the Forest Service where he says: “What I enjoy most about my job is being able to serve my country, help people in need and being a great leader to the younger firefighters that I work with day to day.” Kassidy Kern, public affairs specialist for the Deschutes National Forest adds, “This work means something to the community and there’s real pride in that.”

Bend Lifestyle | November 2018

Ross grew up spending summers cleaning home construction sites with his father and grandfather, who owned Clyde Purcell General Contracting. He found ways to insert himself on the jobs, learning the art of building a stairwell or how to properly cut and stack a roof, or about lighting and furniture with his mother, Brenda Grigsby, who was an interior designer. Ross continues the family legacy today as a custom homebuilder, craftsman and owner of Bend-based Ross Built Homes.

Probably the most difficult job would be renovating the home to be his own.

The farmhouse project began in 2016 after historic levels of snow fell on Bend and will be completed by late 2018. Much of the heavy work is done.

Ross first lifted the entire home to pour a new foundation, and then added a vaulted kitchen ceiling using leftover wood from the house’s siding. He expanded the second level’s rooms to include a kid’s play area, built traditional double-hung farmhouse windows throughout the home, and opened up a grand front porch with twelvefoot-tall beams. Many of the farmhouse’s original doors, cedar siding, dormers, and the main living area remain.

Giant, ancient cottonwoods line the quarter-mile gravel drive, and apple and pear trees branch out across the side yard. Old barns, fences, and outbuildings dot the land. On a regular day, you’ll find Kristen Ross speeding across the place on her four-wheeler to change

irrigation lines for the cattle leased to the land. “I want people to come here and think that I didn’t touch a thing,” says Ross. “It should feel and look almost the same as when it was built.”

It’s taken years of work, risk, and outof-pocket expense to save this Bend farmhouse, and Ross and his contractors have worked on the property between his other home-building jobs. By winter, Kristen and their three kids will be enjoying the coveted coziness of country living near town.

“I’m never leaving,” Ross chuckles, “I’ll be buried out back in a box by the trees.”
