LIFESTYLE LETTER

Celebrating 10 Years!

It’s hard to believe, but this issue marks the 10th anniversary of Bend Lifestyle magazine.

Reflecting back to November 2015, we secured the final advertising partnership needed to launch Bend Lifestyle, and the adventure began.

The dream of launching this magazine filled me with energy and excitement—but I soon realized it was the scariest and hardest thing I had ever done in my career.

In the publishing world, our deadlines are way ahead of the magazine’s arrival date, and I distinctly remember pushing very hard to make it through our first deadline on December 25—full of unexpected twists and turns—so I could celebrate Christmas with my family.

If someone had told me during that first year that we would reach this milestone, I would not have believed it. But the hard work has paid off—with the strong connection we've established with the community, the relationships we’ve cultivated with local businesses who are our advertising partners, and every month, the gratification of producing a magazine our readers can enjoy and our team can all be proud of.

This month, as we reflect back on the highlights over the past 120 issues, we want to share some of our favorite covers and the stories that went on behind the scenes to make them happen. Take a look on the following pages for some of our favorites.

Our thanks go out to all of the amazing photographers we’ve worked with over the years who capture the images for the stories in our community so beautifully.

With heartfelt gratitude, I have many to thank for helping us reach this 10 year mark. I especially want to thank our editor Lynette, whose unwavering dedication, resourcefulness and talented writing skillfully navigates us through each issue.

I’m so grateful to all of the amazing writers and photographers—both past and present—for contributing their time and talent to tell the stories so eloquently.

We could not have reached this milestone without the support of our advertising partners, and you, our readers. Thank you for helping us get to where we are today.

Cheers to 10 Years!

LAYOR Art A Space for Community, Connection and Inspiration ARTICLE BY SUE BALDANI PHOTOGRAPHY BY MIGUEL EDWARDS

Even as a child, Lacey Jade Champagne was drawn to art and creativity. “Around age 3 or 4, my parents said I was always coloring,” she says. She also loved doing puzzles and studying butterflies and butterfly wings. “Art has been with me my whole life.”

While in the fourth grade, she was admitted to a program called Talented Artists in her then-home state of Louisiana. “The curriculum was pretty advanced for that age, and that’s when I really started painting.”

Champagne sold her first painting to a neighbor at the age of 16, and after that, she knew she had found her passion. She wanted to share and inspire this passion in others, too, so at the age of 20, after studying at the University of New Orleans, she opened her own gallery just outside the city.

Later, she and her husband, Paul, decided to relocate, and after a road trip to Bend about 12 years ago, they fell in love with the town. They have been here ever since.

While enjoying her new hometown, Champagne noticed a real need for an art supply store, and in 2016, she opened Layor Art. “We started as a dedicated art supply store, and it was amazing,” she reflects. “We used to have many shows for the high schools and did so much community work. It brought me so much joy to give back in this way.”

Unfortunately, when COVID hit, obtaining art supplies became difficult. She had been thinking about transitioning the supply space to a full-on gallery, and this situation spurred that dream.

“It was tough for me, though, because the supply part of the business was my pride and joy.”

But, Champagne was also excited to provide a platform for artists.

“We have such beautiful artists here, and we don’t have that many galleries, so artists started coming to me to show their work.”

It was important to her to showcase only local and regional artists in this new gallery. “We have enough talent here to really have a dedicated gallery to showcase their art,” emphasizes Champagne. “Every day I’m meeting more and more people, and they’re bringing in their work. It just blows me away, and I really enjoy having the community share their art.”

There are various types of art on display. “We really focus on contemporary art and are also very dedicated to having everything be non-digital in terms of AI. I believe it’s important to have that human touch in terms of art.”

Kaden Israel, curator at Layor Art.

In February, Layor Art is exhibiting Kurt Olson’s creations.

“He recently moved from Hawaii, and I absolutely love his work,” Champagne shares. “He has a very interesting technique that he incorporates into his work. Right now, he’s working on a floral piece, a modern acrylic, and we recently sold a koi fish he did. Kurt is such a cool artist, and we’re so happy to have him.”

Lacey Champagne is an artist as well as co-owner of Layor Art.

While many people come in to purchase art, many others come in to gain inspiration for their own artistic endeavors. “We might not have the supplies anymore, but we still have people coming in who enjoy soaking up what other people are doing. That really makes me happy.”

Champagne, who delves into both landscape photography and painting, showcases her artistic works in the gallery as well. She also finds inspiration from the artists she represents.

“I would love Layor to be a place where people can have lively conversations about how they feel about art, and that right there is really bringing in that sense of community and connection, which is what it’s all about.”

Layor Art also offers affordable and fun classes to foster talent in others, whether beginners or more seasoned artists. These classes range from block printing and watercolor to various acrylic painting styles.

In February, Sondra Holtzman, an amazing watercolor teacher based in Bend (and who also teaches at the Sitka Center for Art), will be leading some classes. “I believe she’s going to be teaching predominantly classes in watercolor.”

Champagne has watched students become accomplished artists after completing these classes, and she often presents their work in the gallery. “That’s been really special,” she says.

Her husband, who is also a creative (all the candles in Layor Art were made by him), and her brother, Bo Morris, are a huge support system for her. Morris has helped her tremendously with the gallery layout, and he taught her staff how to hang paintings. He’s contemplating moving back to Oregon, so he might start working at Layor this spring.

“It’s just really fun to be able to have such a passion and share it with my family and the community,” states Champagne. “Art for me is just one of the most connecting things. Plus, being able to have roots here in Bend and for people to feel this is community-based when they walk in, that’s really the goal.”

The blizzard that arrived just in time.

This shoot was done in November 2019 for the February cover and there had been very little snow to date. On this day, a big snowstorm hit. According to Suzette, “I met Sage by the signs on the road up to Mt. Bachelor and due to the storm, we decided to pull off on the left side of Century near a trailhead. There was a dusting of snow on the ground, and a deep, thick fog, which completed our look. Sage and I had a great time exploring, being creative and got some great shots of him casually posing with his ski gear. He was a big-hearted guy, and this shoot is a memory I always carry with me.”

That level of commitment.

According to HUE Co-Founder and Executive Director, Nicola Carpinelli, “Our experience with the Bend Lifestyle team was absolutely fantastic and deeply engaging. We truly appreciate their commitment to capturing the spirit and energy of our mission. Miguel inspired us to fully commit to the art—I literally had to get hernia surgery after jumping off the steps with my guitar high in the air for one shot! That level of commitment shows how much fun we were having. Miguel’s energy was contagious and he made Dr. Asher and I both incredibly comfortable. This photoshoot felt like a celebration of HUE and a step forward to where we are today, serving hundreds of young people in Central Oregon.”

A rescued cat gains fame.

“There was a wonderful feeling in the air from the moment I arrived at Harmony Farm Sanctuary,” reflects photographer Maile Mason. “I typically do not bring my kids to a shoot, but this time I dressed them in little farm outfits and they came along. As we were wrapping up, my daughter started playing with one of the farm cats and that spontaneous moment ended up as the cover.

Some of the best shots really are the ones you never plan.” After this issue came out, a reader emailed Bend Lifestyle when she recognized the cat, Ronald, on the cover. She had rescued Ronald years before and Harmony Farm Sanctuary was able to take him in, where he became the unofficial mascot of the farm. The reader later wrote a book about Ronald’s story.

When you’re the model and the photographer…

“This was a challenging shoot with a lot of moving parts,” shares photographer Miguel Edwards. “It was extremely cold, which made shooting outdoors difficult. And, normally when I do a photo shoot I am not both the model and the photographer! I had several friends helping out, but it still took hours to do the shoot.

We had to use a forklift to move the cauldron, called Hope Rising, to the location we wanted as a backdrop. Hope Rising was a commissioned piece I created that served as the Olympic flame for the 50th Special Olympics held at the University of Washington Husky Stadium. It was an honor to create this piece, and an honor to be on the cover of Bend Lifestyle magazine!”

Timing it just right for capturing the perfect night sky.

“Working with Miguel was genuinely a great experience,” states Grant Tandy, Astronomer and Astrophotographer. “The standout was how smooth and fast this shoot was, in the best way. We were both prepared, scoped the location quickly, and then it was just a focused, fun session. Miguel has a way of keeping things moving while still paying attention to the small details, so it felt professional but not stressful.” Tandy shares that being on the cover of Bend Lifestyle was a meaningful milestone for him. “I’m proud of the work I do and of being part of Bend’s creative community, so it felt like a nice moment of recognition and a cool ‘pause and appreciate it’ type of thing.”

Humility—with a hint of humor.

“Marcus was so easy to work with,” reflects photographer Natalie Stephenson. “He trusted the process and simply showed up as himself, which made all the difference. This session felt collaborative and unforced, and we were able to create images that truly reflect who he is. Marcus didn’t overthink the process and leaned into the experience with a sense of humility and humor. By the end of the session, he was even suggesting posing with a UPS truck, which we both had a good laugh about. Sessions like that are always the most fun.

Marcus is inspiring in so many ways, particularly in how he gives back to our community. That authenticity comes through in the chosen cover image. I am grateful I had the opportunity to photograph him.”

SAFETY ON THE SLOPES Sasha, a Mt. Bachelor Avalanche Dog

Mt. Bachelor Teams Share How Preparation, Patrol and Avalanche Dogs Help Keep Guests Safe ARTICLE BY JULIE E. FURNAS PHOTOGRAPHY BY MT. BACHELOR

O UT D OOR A DV E N T U R E | F IT N E SS

Long before the first ski lifts start running and guests start making their turns down our beloved local mountain resort, Mt. Bachelor’s operation teams are already at work to ensure guests have the best possible experience on the mountain— from keeping lift operations running smoothly to offering delicious food and beverages—and of course, making sure all

"Mt. Bachelor Pro Ski Patrol tasks include hill setup, guest service, snow safety work and emergency response."

—Dave Thomas, Mt. Bachelor Ski Patrol Director visitors stay safe. Every great day on the mountain starts with preparation. At Mt. Bachelor, that preparation is a full-time, year-round job, one that focuses on safety, incident response and preparedness.

Bend Lifestyle magazine was excited to catch up with key members of the Mt. Bachelor team to learn more about their carefully coordinated work behind the scenes to keep guests safe—from their safety awareness education resources to the dedicated ski patrol team to the famous avalanche dogs. A great day on the mountain does not happen by accident, but instead is a carefully coordinated collaboration based on a shared commitment to care for everyone who visits the mountain.

MT. BACHELOR SKI PATROL The Mt. Bachelor Pro Ski Patrol provides both first aid and rescue services for snow sports and provides outdoor safety training for local community organizations.

Each Pro Ski Patrol member maintains, at a minimum, Outdoor Emergency Care and professional level CPR/

AED certifications. They must also complete annual training to review updates to medical protocols and other patrol procedures like lift evacuation, hazard assessment, and end of day sweep. Mt. Bachelor’s Pro Ski Patrol is supported by a team of volunteer patrollers from the National Ski Patrol.

ANSWERS FROM DAVE THOMAS, MT. BACHELOR SKI PATROL DIRECTOR What does a typical day look like for the Ski Patrol team?

Patrol coordinates with other departments to prepare the mountain for operations. Their tasks include hill setup, guest service, snow safety work and emergency response.

What is the biggest challenge for Ski Patrol?

The weather presents a daily challenge to ski patrol and other operations teams.

How are they trained and what qualifications are required?

Each patroller is required to carry a valid medical certificate and participate in department specific training CONTINUED > FEB R UARY 2 0 2 6 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / BE N D

throughout the season. Over the course of their career, a patroller will complete training with outside organizations in various subjects, such as avalanche awareness, rope rescue, and medical response.

AVALANCHE DOGS The Mt. Bachelor Avalanche Dogs are specially trained and skilled in locating victims beneath the snow after an avalanche. They have tremendous advantages of being able to travel at higher speeds over uneven terrain and steep slopes. Using their heightened sense of smell and sense of urgency to support rescue efforts led by Mt. Bachelor’s Ski Patrol, the canines are a vital part of the team. The Mt. Bachelor dogs join their handlers, who are members of Mt. Bachelor’s Pro Patrol team, on the mountain every day for exercise, training and conditioning to promote safety on the mountain.

What role do avalanche dogs play in your safety program?

Avalanche dogs work alongside our patrollers and are valuable because of their keen sense of smell. We rely on their tracking abilities to supplement rescue efforts in the case of an emergency. Beyond their operational role, our avalanche dogs contribute to guest education and safety awareness by serving as beloved ambassadors of our Pro Patrol team through community demonstrations and interactions throughout the season.

How are the dogs selected and trained?

The best avalanche dogs are athletic, able to travel in snow across the mountain, have a strong sense of smell and are play/ fetch motivated. They also must be family-friendly dogs. Some

Preparation for each ski season is a full-time, year-round job, one that focuses on safety, incident response and preparedness.

Betsy Norsen, Sr. Mountain Operations Manager and Riggins, a retired Mt. Bachelor Avalanche dog who passed away in December at the age of 14.5.

common breeds found on the mountain working as avalanche dogs include Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and Border Collies. Once a breeder and litter have been selected, tests are performed to determine which dogs from a litter are most likely to be successful in the program.

How often do dogs and handlers train together and what skills do they work on throughout the season?

Most of the dogs come to work with their handlers 4-5 days per week. The first year of an avalanche dog’s career is focused on basic obedience and mountain travel skills. They learn to ride the chairlifts, snowmobiles, and travel alongside their handler while the handler is skiing or snowboarding. Search and rescue skills are developed through hide and seek games where the dog is given a high value reward for a successful search. It can take up to two years to fully train and certify an avalanche rescue dog.

What do you want guests to know about avalanche dogs and interacting with them?

Please remember that avalanche dogs are always on duty. If you approach a handler and dog, ask permission before petting or engaging with the dogs.

SAFE TURNS ALL SEASON LONG ANSWERS FROM PRESLEY QUON, COMMUNICATIONS & COMMUNITY RELATIONS MANAGER What are the core goals behind Mt. Bachelor’s Take Care, Be 360 Aware?

Take Care Be 360 Aware is all about practicing vigilance and careful consideration of yourself and others while recreating or working on the mountain.

What does Mt. Bachelor hope guests will take away from the program?

Outdoor recreation presents inherent risks that can be minimized by understanding potential dangers, following rules and policies, obeying signage, skiing or riding with a buddy or group, and knowing your limits.

What safety messages or behaviors are you most focused on this season?

There is no single safety message or behavior on which we are most focused. However, we often emphasize the importance of the National Ski Areas Association’s responsibility code, tree well and snow immersion safety and terrain park safety.

Are there any new safety initiatives, signage or technologies for this ski season?

Although not new, the Mt. Bachelor App has a tracking feature as well as emergency resources that are helpful should a skier or rider need to contact ski patrol and report their location. Mt. Bachelor also provides safety education resources on its website and in-person at guest service touch points across the resort.
