It’s the Redmond issue – and this week’s cover is an adventure all in itself. With so many food cart lots now in operation in Redmond, we aimed to map them out as a fun cover feature that could stand on its own. How many of the Hub City’s food cart lots have you tried so far? Take a look at this week’s cover and count the ones you’ve visited. In addition, our Redmond Issue coverage inside this issue includes guest contributions from Redmond’s mayor, library operations manager and the executive director of parks. We also chat with the new owner/steward of Petersen Rock Gardens, and the owner of Risse Racing, who’s dedicated to keeping bikes out of landfills by helping them stay maintained. Armando Borrego chats with the director of the relatively new Redmond Community Choir, and, outside Redmond, Jared Rasic outlines some of his picks for what to see at this week’s Bend Film Festival.

t’s not uncommon for people to balk at the notion of siting services for the unhoused near their homes. If anything is going to bring out the NIMBYs in a community, it’s the prospect of having shelters, RV sites or other services for a city’s most vulnerable placed in the vicinity of someone’s dwelling, office, school or other facility. Still, the only thing that seems to draw out more ire from the public than a managed camp is the sight of a tent city nearby. When you’re a government leader aiming to avoid tent encampments or other unsafe and unsanitary forms of housing, it’s bound to feel like a no-win situation. Yet, in Central Oregon, we have an example of how two different approaches can lead to very different results. In Redmond, a service provider is getting ready to open not only a low-barrier facility offering tiny home structures for the unhoused, but is also well on its way toward building a place for people who live in their RVs, trailers and cars to park safely, off the streets, with the use of sanitary facilities. While the funding for the RV parking facility has yet to materialize, Redmond, a town far smaller and with fewer unhoused people on its streets, is making strides that Bend doesn’t yet seem to be able to muster. Where Redmond has a service provider, a location and a plan in place to see fewer people occupying the streets, Bend appears to be stuck in an endless cycle of meetings that appear more aimless and unproductive. The same can be said for Sisters, where an effort to site a cold-weather shelter in the town was shut down by a massive public outcry, where many residents were afraid of “more drugs and crime.” The result: the drugs and crime simply moved to the woods on the edge of town. Redmond’s approach to siting these new facilities is somewhat unique, in that the facilities, including Oasis Village, are located on public land adjacent

to the airport, where no permanent housing currently exists. Bend has its own fair share of public land, too – but thus far, it’s seen massive outcry when even whispering about siting a camp or shelter on Juniper Ridge, or (with perhaps the biggest outcry) on 8th Street near two schools. While Redmond has moved forward on its two new facilities (on top of two new shelters in the last several years), any real movement on a public RV park or public managed camp in Bend has stalled. The irony of the fact that there’s a new luxury RV park now under construction on the south side of Bend, but no real action on a managed houseless camp, is not lost on us. To be fair, Bend has taken a lot of action on homelessness over the last several years, including purchasing the old Rainbow Motel and opening The Lighthouse Navigation Center. But that progress is also tempered by the recent camp removal of Hunnell Road, where, after the removal, it was announced that a new Pahlisch development would get underway. Bend has the ability to build things, and to get things done – though the message Bend seems to be sharing on the whole is that it only caters to those with means. This week, the Coordinated Houseless Response Office – that office created in the legislature and aimed at bringing local governments and service providers together to work on the issue – is meeting yet again to discuss the siting and best practices for a managed camp in Bend. That office has been fraught with controversy and internal squabbles since before its first director left abruptly earlier this year. Let’s hope that soon, the group can move beyond just meetings, can overcome the apparent hurdles of NIMBYism and take real action on providing the type of facilities that Bend so badly needs. Redmond is getting it done; let’s hope Bend can, too.

CRANES, PLANES AND AUTOBIKES

GUEST OPINION: MADD WALKS IN HONOR OF IMPAIRED DRIVING VICTIMS

Impaired driving has been an ongoing devastating problem in our state and across the nation for generations. For decades the number of fatalities attributed to impaired driving hovered between 30-35% of all fatal crashes. In 2021 Oregon saw a catastrophic leap in impaired fatalities with over 64% of all fatal crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs! We are experiencing a crisis around our state that is taking lives, destroying families and shattering communities. In 2021, 387 lives were taken and 2,675 people suffered injuries, many left with life altering results – 34 of those fatalities and 157 injured people were from Central Oregon. In 2022, in Deschutes County alone, there were 1,019 DUII cases filed. Central Oregon saw a total of 1,642 cases filed. These are just the people who were caught, but we know statistically this reflects less than 20% of those who are driving impaired at any given time. These numbers are terrifying and unacceptable! These aren’t just numbers. They’re people - mothers, fathers, children, grandparents, friends, neighbors and coworkers. These numbers include lives lost such as the life of 17-year-old AJ Clough. AJ had his whole life ahead of him. He was looking forward to his

senior year in high school, had just passed his driver's license test four days before being killed in an impaired driving crash. He left behind a devastated mother, two sisters, friends and his community. We can and must do better! MADD believes in a world where everyone is safe to live, work and play. We are a movement of caring individuals with a shared purpose to end the dangers of impaired driving, a health and safety issue that affects every community. We work diligently to educate our youth and communities, support law enforcement efforts, promote safer laws through legislation, serve victims and their families, and honor the lives of those who have been injured or killed by this 100% preventable tragic crime. At MADD, our voices and experiences are our strength, and our compassion is our fuel. We invite everyone to join our movement of advocates and changemakers. Together, we will not stop until we create a safer future for all and a world in which impairment puts no lives at risk. On Oct. 14, 2023, MADD Oregon will be hosting a community event called Walk Like MADD at Alpenglow Park in Bend. This event helps raise community awareness, provides education about the dangers and consequences of driving impaired, honors those whose lives have been taken or were seriously injured. The money raised from this event helps to fund our programs and services in Oregon. How can you get involved? Sign up to participate in the Walk, donate, become a sponsor, or join us as a volunteer for the event. Here is the link to our event website: walklikemadd.org/event/oregon. Together, we can make a difference. We can save lives! Join us today.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CONVERSATION AND A FILIBUSTER

The holidays are approaching, along with opportunities for more social gathering. Relevant to this, a friend recently noted, “In my growing experience, the proportion of people who do not know the difference between a conversation and a filibuster is growing.” Unfortunately, the people who most need to hear this probably won’t recognize themselves. Because (seemingly) they can’t. Recently I’ve been observing people in a variety of social settings — restaurants, parties, common affiliation groups. I’m struck with how often there’s at least one person who just can’t help themselves from dominating a conversation, who can’t resist interrupting to make their perceived superior point or to tell their perceived superior story. Neither gender has a monopoly. It’s as if they see social interaction as a competitive sport, showing astoundingly little curiosity about the people with whom (they believe) they’re socializing. Just turn on the TV, and examples of people talking over one another, like verbal tanks, are yawningly commonplace. Are such habits of communication getting absorbed into our culture? A friend says she and her husband have a secret game when they socialize: As a way to also monitor their own

behavior, they mentally tally points for whenever anyone asks a thoughtful question to others, giving extra credit for follow-up questions. The art of dialogue, of asking great questions, listening carefully and drawing others out to genuinely understand someone else’s experience seems to be getting lost in our increasingly fast-paced culture. Why might that be so? Could be worth a conversation. —Ginny Contento

A development in Redmond will offer subsidized sites for houseless individuals living in vehicles By Julianna LaFollette

edmond plans to welcome a new RV park aimed at providing a transitional community for unhoused individuals or those at risk of homelessness. Mountain View Community RV Park is a planned development that will provide paid parking spots, offering full utility hookups, access to showers and laundry, and case management intended to help move people into more permanent housing. The development plans to charge a subsidized rent of about $300 to $600 a month, though the final amount is still under discussion. The RV park will serve unhoused individuals living out of their RVs, cars or moveable trailers, giving them a safe and stable place to live while transitioning them into alternate housing options. While Redmond and Bend both have low-barrier shelter options, Rick Russell, the executive director of Mountain View Community Development, noted there isn’t much beyond that. “We were trying to create something that really filled a gap there, that begins to kinda reorient people back into a little bit of self-sufficiency, creating a move of opportunity,” Russell said. The site is not meant for permanent placement. The managers of the development, Mountain View Community Development, are considering a maximum of 12-month stays on the property. Mountain View currently runs the Redmond Safe Parking Program, which

provides parking spaces around Redmond and case management for families and individuals living in their vehicles. The safe parking program has seven locations that allow 24/7 parking while monitoring and working with guests to transition them into more permanent housing. Last winter, the City of Redmond provided funds for Mountain View to decide which housing model could be successful for future development. The team visited several projects, searching for managed camps or parks that coincided with their goals. They found a development in Austin, Texas, that closely resembled what they hoped to accomplish, providing subsidized living structures and sites. According to Russell, most individuals he’s seen in the safe parking program can afford some amount of rent, just not the high prices typical to Central Oregon. The development, according to Russell, has almost everything it needs to get started, except for building and operating costs. The project received about 70 to 80% of the operating income it needed from PacificSource, a local health care provider that’s willing to help fund case management services. Mountain View needs about $4 million in building costs. Once the funding is established, Russell said the construction should take six to eight months. “At the end of the day, we have got to get funding,” said Russell. He expressed enthusiasm for the City and County’s Eleanor Bessonette

Planned RV Park Will Serve Redmond’s Houseless Population

efforts to increase shelters, but thinks more could be done. “If I have one critique about the region, it’s that we are not taking funding seriously,” he said. “If we look at other regions in the state, there are some places where they understand the real cost of serving a very vulnerable community, and I just feel like we’re not getting yet, but we are moving in the right direction.” The property will sit on 10 acres of land within the Urban Growth Boundary in east Redmond. While Mountain View plans to start with a community of parking spots, the land allows for eventual expansion, which Russell thinks could be useful down the road. According to Russell, once the infrastructure is built, it’s possible to convert some sites into living structures, becoming a potential permanent housing solution. The site is adjacent to Oasis, a new housing project that broke ground on Oct. 3. Oasis Village is a low-barrier shelter that will supply between 15-20 sleeping units and hopes to add an additional 15 units within the next two years, housing about 30 to 40 people. The site will have a community center with restrooms, showers, laundry and kitchen facilities, a computer area and gathering rooms.

According to Eleanor Bessonette, the executive director of Oasis Village, individuals living on site will be offered case management and wraparound services to help with a variety of needs, from substance abuse help to job training. The village, which will allow individuals to stay anywhere from six months to two years, is intended to be a stepping stone to more traditional housing. “It’s a stop between being out in the dirt in the junipers, to getting into someplace more independent, safe and secure,” said Bessonette. The plan for Oasis has been developing for years, said Bessonette, but only really started to come together when it received just under $1 million of the governor’s emergency funds. Other grants and fundraising gave them the opportunity to finally start construction. Bessonette said the village will start taking applicants in November and December, and will be open before the end of the year. “We hope to have folks in beds by the end of December so they don’t have to spend the winter outside and we’ll be up and going by the first of the year, for sure.”

a town hall. Subsequently, another attempt requesting a meeting in July was refused, according to the press release. “Despite repeated requests for in-person, unscripted town halls at which people could submit questions, she has hosted Zoom calls in which she controls the conversation. This is not satisfactory,” Stamler wrote in an email. Aaron Britt, Chavez-DeRemer’s communications director, responded to claims regarding her absence. “The congresswoman has already hosted several town halls over the phone, allowing thousands of Oregonians to participate from across the district in the live and unscripted question-and-answer sessions,” Britt told the Source Weekly. “As always, the The empty-chair town hall on Oct. 11 will take place at Deschutes Public Library.

ocal organizations will host an empty-chair town hall meeting on Oct. 11 for Rep. Lori ChavezDeRemer (R-OR-5). The upcoming meeting, taking place at 1pm in the Brooks Room of Deschutes Public Library, will be one of three hosted during the October Congressional Recess by the activist organizations Vocal Seniority and Indivisible Sisters. The empty-chair meeting, according to a press release, will demonstrate the need for in-person town halls with ChavezDeRemer, Oregon’s representative for Congressional District 5. The District, redrawn following the 2020 Census, includes parts of Central Oregon including Bend and Sisters, and stretches across the mountains and into the Portland suburbs. Chavez-DeRemer, who hails from Happy Valley in Clackamas County, has yet to hold an in-person town hall with her constituents, according to Gayle Stamler with Vocal Seniority. The dates for the upcoming meetings will occur when elected officials are in their home districts. The empty chair won’t be completely “empty,” as organizers plan to bring a cardboard cutout of the elected representative. Meeting organizers will answer questions by directly quoting published statements, in lieu of Chavez-DeRemer. Her votes on several issues will be discussed with a fact-checker present to provide clarity and context if needed. “Despite Rep. DeRemer’s claims to the contrary, she has demonstrated a lack of willingness to meet with CD-5 constituents in a public forum here in Central Oregon,” said Roger Sabbadini of the Vocal Seniority. “We have questions that she needs to address directly.” The release mentioned repeated requests for in-person meetings with Chavez-DeRemer since she took office in January. In May, 50 constituents and community members sent a letter demanding af aT

next one will be announced on her social media, website, and in the weekly newsletter at least one week in advance. Telephone town meetings are both incredibly transparent and accessible, and the congresswoman looks forward to hosting many more in the future.” The news release noted that two additional accountability events targeting Chavez-DeRemer will be held on Oct. 10 in Oregon City and Oct. 13 in Albany. Tuesday’s event, the first of the three, will kick off with a protest in front of ChavezDeRemer’s office in Oregon City, then a march to the town hall at the city’s Community Center. “We are holding this town hall because we believe that as our elected representative, Lori ChavezDeRemer needs to be accessible and responsive to her constituents,” Sid Snyder of Vocal Seniority told the Source. “It is our hope that she will recognize that she has been remiss in her responsibilities and that she will subsequently schedule such a town hall in the coming months.”

raxis Health, an independent medical group, announced the grand opening of its new urgent care location in Redmond. The urgent care will share the same facilities as High Lakes Redmond on Fourth Street. The location, which opened Oct. 4, will be the first Praxis Health urgent care in Redmond, making it easier for locals to receive care without having to travel to Bend. In addition to the High Lakes Urgent Care, the City of Redmond has two urgent care centers through BestMed and Summit Health. Praxis Health’s local health care practice, High Lakes Health Care, has locations in Redmond, Bend and Sisters. The medical group operates 42 clinics throughout Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The family-owned and operated organization highlighted the importance of offering community-oriented care, in a press release. “The addition of our Bend Urgent Care in 2018 has contributed to the positive experience of our primary care patients. We were able to increase access for our patients extending into the evenings and weekends; offer a lower cost option for care; and allow for seamless continuity of care and information between patients’ PCP and their immediate care services,” said Becca Mataya, Praxis Health regional administrator. “We are delighted to bring this same level of service to our Redmond community.”

regon Parks and Recreation has restored access to popular trails at Smith Rock. The state park opened a new pedestrian bridge, allowing entry to surrounding trails and climbing areas on the other side of the Crooked River. The replacement bridge was built to offer visitors more safety and space. The Smith Rock bridge is wider, measuring 8 feet wide, and can more easily accommodate equipment used in rescue operations. The previous bridge was almost 50 years old and, according to a press release, had experienced significant wear. “Smith Rock State Park is thrilled to have a beautiful footbridge that will increase safety and serve the public well into the future. The new bridge will accommodate the increased visitation by allowing for two-way traffic across the river, and it will continue to provide critical access to the park’s main climbing and hiking areas for many years to come,” Park Manager Matt Davey wrote in a press release. Tight working conditions and a regard for protected species in the surrounding habitat proved demanding for construction crews. Access to various hiking trails and climbing areas were halted while the nearly eight-week construction took place. Areas closed during construction at Smith Rock are once again accessible, including River Trail, Misery Ridge, Mesa Verde, Summit Trail, Wolftree Trail and Burma Road Trail. “Thanks for everyone’s patience during this complex project. The contractor did an excellent job under very challenging conditions,” Davey said. According to Davey, visitors can expect to see continued restoration work near the footbridge over the next couple of weeks.

El espacio, que abrió el 4 de octubre, será el primer centro de cuidado médico urgente de Praxis en Redmond, lo que facilitará que los habitantes locales reciban el cuidado médico sin tener que ir a Bend. Además del centro de cuidado urgente de High Lakes, la ciudad de Redmond tiene dos centros de cuidado urgente mediante BestMed y Summit Health.

Idaho. En un comunicado de prensa, la organización y los dueños señalaron la importancia de ofrecer atención médica orientada a la comunidad. “La ampliación de nuestro centro de Cuidado Médico Urgente Bend en 2018 ha contribuido a una experiencia positiva de nuestros pacientes de atención primaria. Pudimos ampliar el acceso a los pacientes por las noches y los fines de semana; ofrecer una opción de atención de menos costo y permitir la continuidad de atención médica y compartir información entre los doctores de cabecera de los pacientes y sus servicios de atención inmediata,” dijo Becca Mataya, administradora regional de Praxis Health. “Estamos encantados de ofrecer el mismo nivel de servicio a la comunidad de Redmond.”

regon Parks and Recreation ha restaurado el acceso a los senderos públicos de Smith Rock. El parque estatal abrió un nuevo puente peatonal, que permite la entrada a los senderos de su alrededor y a las zonas de escalada localizadas al otro lado del río Crooked. El reemplazo del puente se construyó para ofrecerle a los visitantes más espacio y seguridad. El puente Smith Rock es más ancho, mide 8 pies de ancho y es más práctico al utilizar más fácilmente el equipo utilizado en las operaciones de rescate. El puente anterior tenía casi 50 años y según un informe de prensa, ya estaba bastante desgastado. “El parque estatal Smith Rock está feliz de tener un hermoso puente peatonal que mejorará la seguridad y servirá al público a futuro. El nuevo puente

adaptará el aumento de las visitas al permitir que fluya el tráfico peatonal en ambos sentidos hacia el otro lado del río y continuará brindando acceso vital a las zonas de escalada y senderismo por muchos años más,” dijo en un informe de prensa el gerente del parque Matt Davey.

edmond has grown by leaps and bounds since I last served as mayor over 20 years ago. Some things, however, have not changed. Despite its growth, Redmond has retained its small-town charm and its focus as a family-oriented community. What has been particularly satisfying is the revitalization of our downtown that now has great restaurants, brew pubs, shops and music venues with a comfortable, friendly pace to it. Redmond, however, is no longer the small town it once was. It is now a regional center for Central Oregon. Redmond has one of the busiest commercial airports in the entire Northwest. Soon, we will have the second-largest fairgrounds in the United States. Redmond is also one of the few cities in Oregon to have been designed by the State for large-lot industrial d on properties. There are 700 acres purposed for that use, located just south of the fairgrounds and Juniper golf course. Redmond, together with its regional partners, will also develop a 300-acre site north of the airport for training police, fire and emergency medical personnel. This site, together with the airport and fairgrounds, will also be the focal point for emergency transport, relief and shelter for significant natural disasters such as wildfires and the anticipated Cascadia event. Like every community, Redmond has both its challenges and opportunities. The homeless in our community need help, coupled with our obligation to protect the integrity of our residential, commercial and manufacturing neighborhoods. The City, together with Deschutes County and our nonprofit partners, is

establishing managed homeless facilities just north of the airport. By the end of this year, the first facility in that campus, Oasis Village, will open. Our goal is to have the remainder of the campus, an RV facility and a managed camp site, open within the next 12 months. This will enable those now on the streets or on unmanaged public property within our city to relocate to a more secure location. We are also pursuing strategies to provide more affordable housing. The City received $5 million to help with the Northpoint project. This development will provide around 250 affordable housing units. Other public lands in the northeast area can also provide more affordable housing Those residences will be close to our trade sector businesses, providing more options for commuting to work. Mayor Ed Fitch of the city of Redmond.

Finally, we are expanding and refining our infrastructure to accommodate future growth. This includes changing our sewer treatment system from a mechanical approach to a wetlands project, similar to the system in Prineville. Regarding water, the City has and will continue to implement state-of-the-art conservation measures. We will also, over time, implement a beltway via a connected arterial road system on the east and west sides to alleviate future congestion in the city’s core. This project has begun with an investment of $30 million for the eastside arterial to be completed by 2028. Please come visit. Redmond is also a great location to locate your business and to live in.

A conversation with Redmond Community Choir Director Ken Piarulli By Armando Borrego 15

Photos by Timothy Park

he Redmond Community Choir, a harmonious assembly of voices, has been enchanting audiences and fostering a sense of togetherness since its inception in 2019. With its spring performance this past May, this choir established itself as a choral group that delivers crowd-pleasing arrangements. The group began like many songs do: with one person’s idea. Founder and director Ken Piarulli, whose successful career in the world of finance both rewarded and restricted him, felt compelled to dive back into the world of music. “I really wanted to get into music in a larger way than when I was working,” he said. To be clear, Piarulli never cut ties with music, acting as his church’s musical director as a side project during his professional career. But after relocating to Central Oregon from New York and beginning to enjoy his retirement, Piarulli admits that he was never one to twiddle his thumbs. Instead, this music enthusiast saw the opportunity to create a space for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together and share their love for singing. “I didn’t want to be out at bars playing jazz piano ‘til 1 in the morning,” Piarulli confessed, “I’ve been there, done that. I just want to have fun singing, and I want to sing with an amazing group of people and incredible musicians.” To do so, Piarulli set to work forming a partnership with Central Oregon Community College before quickly becoming a highlighted COCC Community Education Program. Piarulli admits COCC’s support has been amazing. “The music department has been incredibly supportive from the beginning,” Piarulli said. It seems this welcoming, grounded approach has allowed the choir to become a true reflection of the community it serves, with members ranging from seasoned singers to those who have never sung in a group before. The result is a diverse and tight-knit group

The Redmond Community choir will perform Christmas classics on Dec.10. Founder of the choir, Ken Piarulli, also passionately serves as choir director.

where the power of music transcends differences and brings people together. “We have people out of high school from their early 20s to members in their 80s. It’s absolutely great. It’s great to have gotten the ball rolling last winter and this spring. We’ve got a full group of 65,” Piarulli gushed. The Redmond Community Choir's repertoire is a delightful blend of musical genres, ranging from classical masterpieces to the more avant-garde. “One of the biggest and most fun parts of what I do is find arrangements that meld well with the group, and it's an interesting proposition – because I always want our repertoire to be accessible to the people listening as well. We’ll be doing Latin but also other well-known pieces with varying arrangements,” Piarulli said. Throughout the year, the choir graces the Redmond community with its

melodious presence at various events and concerts. Its annual Christmas Concert, a cherished tradition set this year for Dec. 10, will undoubtedly fill hearts with the spirit of the season. “It's been wonderful. We’ve just had our third rehearsal,” said Piarulli. The choir’s dedication to inclusivity, musical excellence and community engagement provides a bright look at the choir’s future. “I hope in the future to do
