A14 OREGON East Oregonian IN BRIEF Fire destroys Tumalo-area home BEND — A home and several outbuildings were destroyed on Sunday, Dec. 27, in a fi re in the Tumalo area. Bend Fire & Rescue responded to the report of the fi re just before noon on Dec. 27. Several other fi re agen- cies were also dispatched to assist. The fi re had spread from a metal recreational fi re pit, according to a release from Bend Fire & Rescue. The fi re pit was located near a hot tub and other combustible mate- rials, and was being used without a lid. The occupants of the home had left the prop- erty for 20 minutes and when they returned, they discov- ered an outbuilding engulfed in fl ames and the fi re rapidly spreading. The 1968 manufactured home was a complete loss, along with several outbuild- ings, according to Bend Fire & Rescue. A fi fth-wheel trailer, a parked vehicle and three other outbuildings were saved with minimal dam- age. Damage is estimated at $100,000 for structures, and $50,000 for contents. The occupants are being assisted by the Red Cross. Barry Lopez, author who tied people to place, dies at 75 Associated Press EUGENE — Barry Lopez, an award-win- ning writer who tried to tighten the bonds between people and Lopez place by descr ibing the landscapes he saw in 50 years of travel, has died. He was 75. Lopez died in Eugene on Friday, Dec. 25, after a yearslong struggle with pros- tate cancer, his family said. Longtime friend Kim Stafford, former Oregon poet laureate, said Lopez’s books “are landmarks that defi ne a region, a time, a cause. He also exemplifi es a life of devotion to craft and learn- ing, to being humble in the face of wisdom of all kinds.” An author of nearly 20 books on natural history studies, along with essay and short story collections, Lopez was awarded the National Book Award in 1986 for “Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape.” It was the result of almost fi ve years of traveling the Arctic. His fi nal work was “Hori- zon,” an autobiography that recalls a lifetime of travel in more than 70 countries. Born in 1945 in Port Chester, New York, Lopez grew up in California’s San Fernando Valley and, after his mother remarried, New York City. In “Horizon,” he wrote that in those forma- tive years, he developed “a desire simply to go away. To fi nd what the skyline has cor- doned off.” His later years were spent with his wife, Debra Gwart- ney, in a wooded area along the McKenzie River east of Eugene. After years of writ- ing about the natural world and humans’ effect on cli- mate change, he mourned the loss of acres of timber, not to mention personal papers, in the September 2020 Holiday Farm fi re. The wildfi re damaged Lopez’s home so badly that Man wanted after rowdy Capitol protest turns self in SALEM — A man authorities say attacked two reporters and tried to get into the closed Oregon Cap- itol during last week’s special legislative session has turned himself in. KOIN reported 40-year- old Jeremy Roberts turned himself in to the Oregon State Police on Sunday, Dec. 27. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney. Roberts tried to get into the building on Monday, Dec. 21, and also attacked two reporters covering the protests, authorities said. He is in the Marion County Jail on charges, including crimi- nal mischief, disorderly con- duct, assault, harassment and a probation violation warrant. Four other men were arrested during last week’s protests. State lawmakers met for one day on Dec. 21 and passed $800 million in relief to people struggling from the pandemic and wildfi res, extending an eviction mor- atorium through June and allocating funds for renter and landlord relief. — EO Media Group and Associated Press he was 7 years old. Lopez said the essay was an attempt at catharsis. Woodruff said the essay possibly helped lead to “Horizon,” a book more than two decades in the making. In a 2019 review, The Asso- ciated Press said the book felt like the crowning achieve- ment of Lopez’s illustrious career, describing it as part travel journal, part history, part science lecture, part autobiography, and com- pletely unique. “I do think that (the essay) released something in him to really ground and round out and complete ‘Horizon,’” Woodruff said. “Everything he wrote was personal, of course.” he couldn’t live in it. The blaze also destroyed a build- ing that stored his origi- nal manuscripts, personal letters, photos and a type- writer he used to write his books. The IBM Selectric III was quickly replaced with an identical model by his friends. “Just an incredible body of work and memories,” said his stepdaughter, Stepha- nie Woodruff. “Very metic- ulously kept and organized. That (loss) was devastating, certainly. He wrote every single book on a typewriter.” In 2013, Lopez wrote the essay “Sliver of Sky,” reveal- ing he had been sexually abused by a family friend for several years starting when Card not required in Albertsons Police investigate 4 shootings in Portland PORTLAND — Police are investigating four shoot- ings that left two people wounded within about three hours in Portland on Satur- day, Dec. 26. Two people, a 15-year- old girl and a man, were wounded in two of the shoot- ings in different locations, but were able to walk into hospitals seeking treatment on their own, police said. In the third shooting, a home was struck by at least nine bullets, which went through the living room and into the bedrooms, but no one was injured. The fi nal shooting hap- pened at a convenience store after three teens stole items and an employee confronted them, police said. One of the teens spit on the worker before leaving and, moments later, shots were fi red into the store, police said. The employee was not injured. The string of shootings follows a fatal shooting at an apartment in Portland on Christmas morning. When Portland police arrived at the apartment on Dec. 25 they found that two people had been shot — one victim was dead and the other was taken to the hospital.
