Ridgeview edged Redmond on penalty kicks
on the road to the IMC championship match
BY BRIAN RATHBONE
The Bulletin
REDMOND — Two
40-minute halves, two
10-minute overtime peri-
ods and one round of penalty
kicks were not enough to de-
cide who would advance to
the Intermountain Confer-
ence tournament champion-
ship last week.
Then, in the second round
of PKs, Ridgeview sophomore
midfielder Hope Williams-Or-
lando’s attempt got past Red-
mond goalkeeper Alyssa Mc-
Connell to give the Ravens the
victory over the Panthers in
girls soccer.
“Myself and our other
coaches, we saw everything
that we have been working to-
wards at this moment,” Rid-
geview coach Nic Sedor said
last week. “The determina-
tion and perseverance they’ve
shown, I’m so glad the girls
were rewarded with this win. It
feels good to come out on top.
Redmond is a quality team and
they really pushed us.”
The April 6 win was the Ra-
vens’ fourth in a row and first
over Redmond this season.
Ridgeview finally started to
see positive results after start-
ing the season with five losses
and two ties. Four of those five
losses were decided by one goal
— including matches against
Summit and Bend High.

April 14, 1921 — High
School Students Lost In Tethe-
row Bridge Country Wander All
Night in Rain
Miss Beryl Brown, John Han-
son, Sweney Westesen, Red-
mond high school students,
became lost Sunday night in
the rough country adjacent to
the Deschutes river about six
miles northwest of Redmond
and spent the night tramping
through sagebrush and junipers
in a cold rain.
Leaving a picnic truck which
ran out of gas on the way home
from Opal Springs where they
and several other students had
spent the day, the three students
attempted to reach the Helm-
holtz farm house to get gasoline.
Other members of the party
were left at the road shortly be-
fore nightfall, and although they
had little more than half a mile
to go by a “short cut,” they lost
their way and were unable to get
their bearings until daybreak.
They arrived at the Helm-
holtz home at 7 o’clock just as a
searching party of parents who
had been out nearly all night,
and breakfasted and were pre-
paring to again take up the
search.
After several hours wander-
ing, Hanson had climbed several
juniper trees along their path in
an effort to learn their where-
abouts but was unsuccessful.
Later on in the night they tired
completely and built a fire.
Once Hanson slipped in the
dark and fell several feet off a
cliff. After that the three walked
arm in arm.
Endeavoring to find the lost
students, the searchers them-
selves had difficulty in keep-
ing their direction and were
twice temporarily lost in the
intense darkness brought on by
the rain, according to Edward
Brown manager of the Red-
mond creamery, father of Miss
Brown.
Remaining at the auto truck
were Miss Dorothy Royal and
Miss Hazel Caughey and Harry
Hansen, George Johnson and
John Bates. They obtained gas-
oline after waiting several hours
and arrived in Redmond at 11
o’clock to tell of the disappear-
ance of the other members of
their party.
Miss Brown returned to
Redmond and attended her
classes Monday. The boys were
absent.
April 18, 1946 — Use City
Dump, Police Request
“It’s clean — up time, true
enough,” says Chief of Police
Jess Edgar, “but that isn’t the sig-
nal for hauling trash into the ju-
nipers east of Redmond.”
Redmond has a city dump,
just as close to town as the area
to the east, and the dump is the
place to put garbage.
Last year, city officials were
much concerned because the
area east of town became an
eyesore and health menace
when vast amounts of gar-
bage, carcasses and trash were
dumped there.
All residents are urged to use
the city dump, not the junipers
to the east.

April 14, 1971 — Roberts
Field gains air traffic control
trainees
Two students from Mt. Hood
Community College are getting
their first taste of air traffic con-
trol at Roberts Field.
For the young men, both
sophomores majoring in air
traffic control and professional
pilot, it is an opportunity to put
into practice some of the book
learning from campus, and a
chance to find out if working
for the Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration is really their “bag.”
For the federal govern-
ment, hiring Virgil Dahrens
of Gresham and Bill Meyer of
Portland as GS-3’s for three
months on-the-job status in
cooperation with MHCC is far
less expensive than giving them
2 1/2 years of government fi-
nanced training, only to learn
that air traffic control wasn’t
what they wanted and have
them quit.

April 17, 1996 — Getting in
tune with physics
Physics. If the word conjures
up a bespectacled professor
with pants pulled up to his arm-
pits, a blackboard covered with
numbers and equations and
students furiously scribbling in
notebooks, think again.
In Redmond High School’s
physics class the teacher
doesn’t wear glasses, his pants
fit around his waist, the black-
board is a white board and it’s
more likely to contain drawings
that rows of math.
Although, instructor Ron
Caramella says, “We do have
days of working equations too.”
But Caramella’s students are
more likely to be working at
computers or cutting, drilling
and grinding scraps of metal
tubing. Then again, they might
be tuning and playing musical
instruments.
Wait a minute: Is this band or
physics?
It’s physics.
The instruments are all part
of what Caramella calls concep-
tual physics.
Traditional physics compares
relationships through the use of
formulas to solve problems, he
said. By contrast, in conceptual
physics, students spend more
time figuring out why some-
thing happened.
Caramella, a 13-year veteran
physics teacher at RHS, said the
new approach means students
are learning a lot more.
Five years ago, a similar class
would study similar principles
but wouldn’t have applied the
theories to “something we’re all
familiar with,” he said.
Caramella hopes that by
teaching the concepts of phys-
ics through fun projects, more
students will discover they can
master difficult material.
In the case of the current
physics-of-sound unit, teams
of students are building wind
chimes — a similar set sells on
the internet for $25 — using the
principles of physics to tune the
pipes to a pleasant sound and
exploring why some notes are
melodic and others are sour.
They begin their exploration
by striking random lengths of
conduit pipe. When the ex-
pected low note didn’t happen,
Caramella asked them to figure
out why.
Using a microphone plugged
into a computer, students be-
came immersed in graphing
sound waves, testing for fre-
quency and learning about har-
monics and resonance.
“A trumpet has a more er-
ratic timbre than the pure tone
of a flute,” senior Skye Mayo ex-
plained.
Mayo, who is taking as much
math and science as he can, said
the class seems more practical
than some others he has taken.
“It can explain what’s happen-
ing around me.”
The next step for the students
was to put their knowledge to
work.

OBITUARY
Phyllis Jean “Jeanie” Smith
November 9, 1951 - April 4, 2021
Former Redmond resident, Jeanie Smith, passed away
Sunday, April 4, 2021 following a bat le with cancer. She
passed in Salem, Oregon in the care of her son.
Jeanie, named Phyllis Jean av er her mother9s sister, was
born November 9, 1951 in Grants Pass, Oregon where,
even as a lit le girl, was hooked on riding and training
horses. Av er gradua} ng from high school in Grants
Pass, she loaded up her horse and moved to Redmond
so she could at end COCC in 1970-1971. She served as
school class treasurer, and as a sophomore, was queen
of the Central Oregon Community College Intercollegiate
Rodeo.
Through a marriage and the birth of her son William
<Billy= Beymer, she con} nued to pursue her horse
dreams. Several horses came through their barn, but
Cobra Chex seemed to have what it took. In 1981, she
made a clean sweep at the 3rd Annual Northern States
Reined Cow Horse Associa} on Snaÿ e Bit Futurity in Walla
Walla, Washington. News release: <Cobre Chex, ridden by
Jeanie Beymer of Eagle Point, Oregon, defeated a û eld of
52 to place û rst in the Open division. This win also placed
them û rst in the ladies division, û rst in the Amateur
division, earned Cobre Chex the High-Point AQHA award
and High-Point Northern States Horse.= They took home
2 trophy saddles, trophy buckles, bronzes, and a silver
snaÿ e bit, along with cash prize money. Jeanie was the
û rst woman to win the Snaÿ e Bit Futurity.
She trained reined cow horses for 9 years before
concentra} ng on cuý ng horses. In 1992, riding Lena, she
won the Paciû c Coast Cuý ng Horse Associa} on Cuý ng
Stakes Open Championship.
Along with training and showing cuý ng horses, Jeanie
was also a Na} onal Cuý ng Horse Associa} on Judge,
and an equine consultant. She loved music and always
looked forward to spending holidays with her family. She
liked binge-watching old TV shows, ea} ng popcorn at the
movies, and swimming when } me allowed.
Billy drove his mom to the Southern Oregon Cuý ng
Horse Associa} on cuý ng in Roseburg in March 2021.
Jeanie rode Smart Lit le Diva in two classes. This would
be her û nal cuý ng horse compe} } on.
Jeanie is survived by her beloved son, Billy Beymer, her
brother Vernon Smith and his wife Joie, of Portland,
Oregon, and many long } me friends throughout Oregon.
Jeanie was preceded in death by her parents Lewis
“Bud” Smith and Arliss June Swisher Smith, and brother
Ferrol Shane Smith. Ferrol, a Vietnam Army veteran, died
during his tour of duty Jan 13, 1969 to March 27, 1969,
evoking raw emo} ons for Jeanie her en} re life. Her ashes
will reside with family at Grants Pass Hillcrest Cemetery.
As a past feature writer, she once wrote, <Horses not only
touch us with their spirit, but they allow us to accomplish
amazing feats. The thrill of sliding forty feet on a reining
horse, or controlling a cow with cat-like moves on a
cuý ng horse, is a brief moment, experiencing freedom
on earth - when horse and rider become one.=
