HAPPENING IN CENTRAL OREGON DURING A YEAR'S TIME, CREATIVE FUNDRAISING CAN BE FASHIONABLE, MAKING GIVING BACK THE NEW BLACK. This month, local nonprofit Bend Gives Back hosts Giving in Style, its second annual “fashionthropic” event that encourages guests to dress to the nines for a fundraiser that includes a silent auction and a runway show, featuring models wearing Central Oregon fashions from both national and local clothing stores. Proceeds from the evening benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Oregon (BGCCO). “Giving in Style was designed to be a fun-filled, community-focused event that uses fashion for philanthropy,” says Andra von Behren, executive director of Bend Gives Back and Giving in Style’s co-chair. “We recognized that a unique audience could be attracted, giving people an opportunity to dress up and support a great cause. The event is designed to be an exciting annual event in Bend, attracting an active, socially conscious and philanthropic audience to learn more about an important local charity.”

How Dizziness Stole One Man’s Life and How Vestibular Rehabilitation Restored It Blackouts, dizziness, nausea, headaches, and significant neck pain were his reality.

And for more than forty years, Veteran and Sisters resident, Randell (Randy) Drake didn’t think anything could help.

His time serving in the military during the Vietnam War resulted in several head injuries that caused his debilitating symptoms. Then in 1978, a severe car accident left Randy with an open skull fracture.

He spent years visiting doctor after doctor only to receive pain medication and a couple of physical therapy appointments.

Nothing seemed to make a difference. As a last resort, his doctor gave him nerveblocking injections that should have helped ease the debilitating symptoms he experienced throughout the day.

They didn’t.

Over the years, Randy began to accept that this was his new normal. Then after visiting Step & Spine Physical Therapy’s Sisters location for an unrelated issue, his physical therapist picked up on some central vestibular dysfunction. After further evaluation, the cause for Randy’s symptoms was not clear-cut. His dizziness could be attributed to arthritis in his neck, also known as Cervicogenic Dizziness, as well as vestibular dysfunction.

He was treated using vestibular habituation. The results were good but then he plateaued. His therapist began addressing general neck stiffness as well as incorporating exercises to strengthen and minimize joint hypomobility (reduced movement in the joint). With this addition, Randy’s progress moved into hyperspeed.

For the first time in 40 years, Randy felt significant relief in his neck which resolved his headaches and reduced his dizziness.

Vestibular disorders can be debilitating, dramatically impacting quality of life. They occur frequently and can affect people of any age. They can come on suddenly and without an accompanying diagnosis.

Physical therapy can be a highly beneficial treatment. Physical therapists who treat vestibular disorders have an arsenal of tests and tools to properly identify and treat the cause of the problem.

Treatments will often focus on retraining motor control strategies, reactive balance strategies to reduce the risk of a fall, postural awareness, and the vestibuloocular reflex, which is the ability to stabilize images visually with quick head movements. With the right physical therapist, improvement can happen in just a few weeks.

What You Can Do Now Prevention is the best medicine. Modify your environment to minimize hazards.

Remove rugs or other household items from the floor and install night lights to make your home more safe. Sign up for a wellness, balance or fall prevention class at Bend Parks and Recreation or your local Senior Center. In Sisters, Step & Spine Physical Therapy offers a balance class to residents of The Lodge.

If a problem already exists, physical therapy can help improve your strength and mobility. Don’t wait. Schedule an evaluation with a physical therapist to address your vestibular concerns today.

Schedule a 10 Minute Consultation with Any of Our Expert Physical Therapists for Only $10 on Any Tuesday.

FOR ONE LOCAL BOUTIQUE, FASHION IS AN EQUATION COMBINING CURATED DESIGN WITH COMMUNITY SPIRIT

ARTICLE CHERYL PARTON | PHOTOGRAPHY MARGO DUCHARME

[ fall fashion ]

Designer Raquel Allegra combines tie dye with jewel and earth tones for Fall 2019.

WHEN THEY MOVED HERE IN 1997, THE HEINZ-GARCIA’S HAD A YOUNG FAMILY AND THEIR DREAMS. Brian Garcia, with a creative and entrepreneurial streak, opened Marz A Planetary Bistro—an early forerunner of the downtown Bend food scene.

He followed his dream, then asked his wife Kirsten Heinz, “What’s yours?” Fortunately for Bend, her eye was on fashion. While foregoing fashion school for a degree at University of New Hampshire, that true nature was expressed by opening her store Hot Box Betty on Sept. 12, 2001. In that moment, she saw how the power of fashion was expressed. Opening their doors just one day after 9/11, “Wasn’t very auspicious,” says Kirsten. But an interesting phenomenon occurred: people came in for the camaraderie, the uplifting colors in the original location and for more. “People are in need of ‘armor,’” she says. Even if they aren’t feeling strong on the inside, she says she is keenly aware how clothes can help a stance and provide strength. “I love it when people go into a fitting room and come out standing a little taller,” she observes.

EAST COAST MEETS PACIFIC NORTHWEST Hot Box Betty is an expression of a unique blend of Kirsten’s original East Coast classicism melding into a Pacific Northwest expression. And fortunately for current fashion, the PNW look is trending from fashion showrooms to runways. The country has had a love affair with Bend for the last four years, according to Kirsten.

Making frequent trips to New York and Europe, along with having bi-coastal daughters (Raven, 22, is a data strategist in Brooklyn and Sage, 20, lives in Los Angeles and works in entertainment influence marketing), Kirsten is constantly curating and adapting trends for the store and herself. With the help of manager Molly Smith, and a team of stylists called The Bettys (Natalie Allard, Kristen Cochran, Tricia Huggin, Meredith Leyerzaph, Liz Rushton Mueller, Caroline Stuermer and Marley Weedman) locals and visitors alike are guided to adapt fashion to their own unique expression of themselves.

FALL: A FASHION PHILOSOPHY “People are beautiful every day, but fashion is like an equation,” says Kirsten. The key is how to take pieces and make them yours.

This is true for daily style as well as seasonal trends. According to trend forecasters watching the runways at fashion weeks from New York to Paris, for Fall 2019 we may see capes, long coats, feathers, satin, more purple, and some prep school tailoring.

Allegra is inspired by “Strong women of all ages and walks of life,” she says. Her line of clothing is available locally at Hot Box Betty, downtown Bend.

In what is referred to as “The Patagonia Effect” by Elle Magazine, fleece, a longtime staple in the Bend wardrobe, is trending in 2019 after the puffer jacket emerged in 2018 for wear as easily on a mountain as on an urban street. But as locals know, we’re not outside all the time. The Bend look is more about an earthbound elegance. Boots, denim, cashmere and jackets are more authentic staples in our wardrobe, says Kirsten. “I can’t get behind it, if it’s not authentic,” she says.

AUTHENTICITY OF RAQUEL ALLEGRA When selecting lines for her store, Kirsten gravitates toward some of her favorite designers, including Nili Lotan, Rag & Bone, Feathered Soul, Freda Salvador and Raquel Allegra. Clothing by featured designer Raquel Allegra is inspired by “Strong women of all ages and walks of life,” according to the company philosophy. With the exception of some knitwear, the line is manufactured in Los Angeles and they support a campaign to protect ancient and endangered forests with their fabric choices. Each of their tie dye pieces is individually hand tied and dyed.

Their tradition of artistry and craftsmanship in the fashion industry combines beauty with the authenticity important to Kirsten and her buyers. Of her store and journey, she says, “This is my exchange of life energy.

My customers are my friends.” The equation of fashion is a constant adaptation of trends to a joyful expression of who we are. And of the shopping experience this fall, may we all walk a bit taller wearing clothes that prepare us to lead our best lives in the community we love. HotBoxBetty.com

ARTIST’S PALETTE

Designer and Artist: Nicole Fontana-Campbell Mural created in 2017 Location: 155 SE Greenwood Ave., Bend In a sea of asphalt surrounding Greenwood Avenue, a garden of color emerges in a large-scale painting

by Nicole Fontana-Campbell. A muralist for more than 12 years, Nicole jumped at the chance to create this first legal mural in the Makers District with the help of Douglas Robertson from the High Desert Mural Festival and Liz Rink, owner of the building.

The bright, colorful, and whimsical design complements the building’s business, The Open Book. “I love how a glimpse of color can catch your eye from the street and brighten your day,” says Nicole, “Color brings joy.” FontanaPainting.com

A Splash of Color OUTDOOR MURALS BEAUTIFY BEND’S CITYSCAPE ARTICLE CHERYL PARTON THE STREET VIEW THROUGHOUT BEND HAS GOTTEN A WHOLE LOT MORE COLORFUL OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, AND NOW THE SPECTRUM HAS EXPANDED. Thanks to the work of the High Desert Mural Festival, City of Bend staff and Council plus previous groundwork from community partners, a “mural zone” pilot program was approved for the Makers District in 2016. In May 2019, the mural zone was expanded to the entire city. As buildings become canvases for expression, we look forward to seeing the creativity of our city in full bloom.
