PET OF THE WEEK
TRUCK OF THE WEEK
Meet Betty!
This lovely little seal looking girl was found and brought to BrightSide.
Sadly, after not getting claimed by a previous owner, she is here and available
for adoption.
Betty is a super sweet and snuggly pup who loves to play run and explore.
Still being young, Betty has a general understanding of basic obedience, but
an owner to help her keep working on that would be beneficial.
With staff and volunteers she has been sweet, affectionate, and playful, and
we can’t wait to see her full personality shine. We don’t know much about Bet-
ty’s history so we require a meet and greet between her and other dogs in the
home to ensure the best fit. We are also not sure at this time how Betty does
with cats.
We will make updates about Betty as she spends time here, but we know
she will find her forever home soon.

About the cart: Redmond residents
Jaimie Edwards and Curtis Christian-
sen opened their cart just last month.
Christiansen has been in food service
much of his life, working his way up
from dishwasher to line cook. Edwards’
son has Celiac disease, and that pushed
her come up with gluten-free recipes
with lots of flavor. A few months ago,
the duo came up with a cuisine idea and
Tim Trainor/Spokesman
worked to meld their different styles,
Curtis Christiansen and Jaimie Edwards of Cascade Alchemy Bowls.
eventually coalescing around a food
truck now called Cascade Alchemy
Bowl.
Your first order should be: Christiansen recommends the Mt. Shasta, which includes barbacoa-style shredded beef
on your choice of base, topped with elote sauce, avocado, jalapeno, black beans, pickled onion and cotija cheese. Ed-
wards says the Mt. Hood is the way to go, with its Thai-inspired flavors infusing marinated chicken, carrot slaw and
sautéed bok choy.
Fun fact: Alchemy Bowls offers are numerous dairy-free options and diners can go vegan as well by substituting a
mix of chickpeas and sweet potatoes. Low FODMAP foods are gaining in popularity, especially for people who suffer
from irritable bowel syndrome. Most dishes avoid complicated starches, carbohydrates and fibers.
Debate for state House races overshadowed by rowdy crowd
BY ANNA KAMINSKI
CO Media Group
A forum Wednesday for
Oregon House candidates
representing Bend and Red-
mond was overshadowed
by partisan politics when a
rowdy crowd of supporters
of Republican candidate Mi-
chael Sipe heckled his Dem-
ocratic opponent, Emerson
Levy.
The forum, sponsored by
the Bend Chamber of Com-
merce, was meant to give
candidates for House dis-
tricts 53 and 54 a platform
to discuss their policy goals.
Instead, audience members
carrying Sipe-branded cam-
paign paraphernalia inter-
rupted and mocked Levy.
Immediately after the fo-
rum, Democrats went on so-
cial media to call out forum
organizers for allowing what
Levy’s supporters said was
an audience of mostly Sipe
supporters who came to boo
and heckle instead of listen.
Sipe and Levy are running
for House District 53, which
represents the north part
of Bend, south part of Red-
mond and Tumalo area.
“Tonight I was excited to
talk to the business commu-
nity at the Bend Chamber
event, instead my opponent
got all of the tickets, every
time I spoke grown women
heckled me when I stood to
speak and while I spoke. My
opponent mocked me, my

Trego
Almost an hour into the
event, as Levy was in the
midst of answering a ques-
tion about how to support
small businesses in Central
Oregon, a member of the
crowd shouted an indistin-
guishable comment at her.
She stopped her answer in
her tracks. “I just want to ac-
knowledge that our campaign
was not allowed to invite a
single person because all the
tickets were taken, and this
is a rather uncomfortable fo-

rum for us,” Levy said.
The crowd responded
with a chorus of “Aww,” and,
“That’s so sad.”
Levy said the crowd had
been making faces at her,
jeering and heckling as she
answered Chamber ques-
tions. Some audience mem-
bers held Sipe-branded fly-
ing discs in front of their
faces as she spoke.
Allen Martin, the mod-
erator of the event and an
anchor for Central Ore-
gon Daily news, didn’t say
anything to discourage the
crowd after Levy was inter-
rupted. Only at the begin-
ning of the forum during the
candidates’ opening state-
ments did Martin ask the
audience to refrain from
speaking or cheering while
candidates were answering
their questions.
