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.

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

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.

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

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.
