A4 THE BULLETIN • WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2021
TODAY
Today is Wednesday, Feb. 24, the 55th
day of 2021. There are 310 days left in
the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
In 1868, the U.S. House of Represen-
tatives impeached President Andrew
Johnson by a vote of 126-47 following
his attempted dismissal of Secretary
of War Edwin M. Stanton; Johnson
was later acquitted by the Senate.
In 1803, in its Marbury v. Madison de-
cision, the Supreme Court established
judicial review of the constitutionality
of statutes.
In 1938, the first nylon bristle tooth-
brush, manufactured by DuPont
under the name “Dr. West’s Miracle
Toothbrush,” went on sale.
In 1942, the SS Struma, a charter
ship attempting to carry nearly 800
Jewish refugees from Romania to
British-mandated Palestine, was tor-
pedoed by a Soviet submarine in the
Black Sea; all but one of the refugees
perished.
In 1961, the Federal Communications
Commission authorized the nation’s
first full-scale trial of pay television in
Hartford, Connecticut.
In 1981, a jury in White Plains, New
York, found Jean Harris guilty of
second-degree murder in the fatal
shooting of “Scarsdale Diet” author
Dr. Herman Tarnower.
In 1988, in a ruling that expanded
legal protections for parody and sat-
ire, the Supreme Court unanimously
overturned a $150,000 award that
the Rev. Jerry Falwell had won against
Hustler magazine and its publisher,
Larry Flynt.
In 1993, Canadian Prime Minister
Brian Mulroney resigned after more
than eight years in office.
In 2008, Cuba’s parliament named
Raul Castro president, ending nearly
50 years of rule by his brother Fidel.
In 2015, the Justice Department
announced that George Zimmerman,
the former neighborhood watch
volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon
Martin in a 2012 confrontation, would
not face federal charges.
Ten years ago: Discovery, the world’s
most traveled spaceship, thundered
into orbit for the final time, heading
toward the International Space Sta-
tion on a journey marking the begin-
ning of the end of the shuttle era.
Five years ago: President Barack
Obama nominated Carla Hayden,
longtime head of Baltimore’s library
system, to be the 14th Librarian of
Congress; Hayden became the first
woman and the first African-Ameri-
can to hold the position. Surgeons at
the Cleveland Clinic performed the
nation’s first uterus transplant on a
26-year-old woman, using an organ
from a deceased donor. (However,
the transplant failed.)
One year ago: The White House
sent lawmakers a $2.5 billion plan to
respond to the coronavirus; it was
immediately slammed by Demo-
crats as insufficient. Police manned
checkpoints around sealed-off towns
in northern Italy. Former Hollywood
producer Harvey Weinstein was
convicted in New York on charges
of rape and sexual assault against
two women. Friends and family of
Kobe Bryant joined 20,000 fans in
mourning the NBA superstar at the
Los Angeles arena where he played
for 17 seasons. Katherine Johnson, a
mathematician who calculated rocket
trajectories and earth orbits for NA-
SA’s early space missions, died at 101;
she’d been portrayed in the 2016 film

Black female aerospace workers. Ad-
venture novelist Clive Cussler died at
the age of 88.

Murder
Continued from A1
This image and illustrated
overlaw show the parachute
deployed during the descent
of the Mars Perseverance
rover as it approaches the sur-
face of the planet on Thurs-
day. Systems engineer Ian
Clark used a binary code to
spell out “Dare Mighty Things”
in the orange and white strips
of the 70-foot parachute. He
also included the GPS coordi-
nates for the mission’s head-
quarters at the Jet Propul-
sion Laboratory in Pasadena,
California.

Shelter
Continued from A1
But in order for the Project
Turnkey shelter to become
a reality, the rule requiring
1,000 feet of separation needs
to be removed. Currently,
Old Mill & Suites Motel is
less than 1,000 feet from St.
Vincent de Paul, a home-
less nonprofit that also offers
transitional housing.
The purpose of the code
when it was originally created
in 2003 was to keep home-
less shelters from being in the
same section of town, Eagan
said. But having homeless
shelters closer to things like
transit and services is now
more of a priority.
“It was absolutely envi-
sioned as a way to make
sure we wouldn’t concen-
trate homeless shelters all in
one spot,” Eagan said. “But
as we’re learning … we have
more dense development in
Bend than ever before, and
now we know more about
how to site temporary hous-
ing.”
Allowing shelters in com-
mercial zones and west of
Third Street in the Bend Cen-
tral District as an outright use
is also necessary because if
the city does receive the grant
money to move forward with
the hotel purchase, it will
need to work quickly.
The state grant program
requires applicants to spend
the money by June 30, ac-
cording to Eagan. The Old
Mill & Suites Motel is in a
commercial zone, which
means currently, the city
would have to go through
a conditional use process,
which can take much longer
and cost more in permits.
Planning Commissioner
Suzanne Johannsen and a
representative of the Bend
Economic Development Ad-
visory Board questioned why
the city needed to change the
whole code if the changes
were meant for one project.
“It seems like we are re-
sponding to a single need
with maybe a sweeping
change,” Johannsen said.
Eagan said changing the
code will make it easier for
future transitional housing
projects to take hold in the
core of town. The city as a
rule has been phasing out
conditional use permits, Ea-
gan added, because they are
subjective in nature, which
can make developments be-
come more expensive and
take more time.
Other members of the
planning commission
shared interest in wanting
to revamp other parts of the
city code that dictate how
and where homeless shel-
ters are allowed, including
language that restricts what
homeless people can do in
the outdoor area around the
shelter. Other than desig-
nated “outdoor recreation
areas” on the shelter prop-
erty, the code states all activ-
ity “must take place within
the building.”
Scott Winters, the chair of
the planning commission,
called specific restrictions like
this “dehumanizing” and that
homeless guests should get to
use their home, even if tem-
porary, the same way some-
one else can.
“I could sit in front of my
house all day, and I’m not vi-
olating a development code,”
Winters said.
Jon Skidmore, the city’s
chief operating officer, said
there will be a larger conver-
sation about city code and
homeless shelters, but that for
now these code changes are
to help ensure the success of
the Project Turnkey motel.
“(The code) needs a
shakeup,” he said. “But that
shakeup is going to be a more
involved community conver-
sation.”

On Monday, Holland
pleaded guilty in Deschutes
County Circuit Court to one
count of second-degree mur-
der. Earlier this month he
pleaded guilty to DUII, unau-
thorized use of a motor vehi-
cle, second-degree assault and
first-degree criminal mischief
in the Hood River case.
Jakubek’s body was found
July 6 in her northeast Red-
mond home by police on a
welfare check after her family
could not reach her. She and
Holland had dated for around
six months, and he was vio-
lent with her on at least one
occasion, her son, Marshall
Beaudoin, told The Bulle-
tin last summer. Police were
called to her house numerous
times with the result typi-
cally that officers would es-
cort Holland off the property,
Beaudoin said.
Jakubek had intended to go
to the courthouse to file for a
restraining order on the same
day her body was found.
Holland was arrested on the
night of July 6 with Jakubek’s
car in Hood River County. He
was drunk and had crashed
into two other vehicles.
For the Hood River crimes,
he received a 70-month
prison term that will likely
be superseded by his murder
sentence.
In addition to the prison
term, Holland will likely lose
his driver’s license and right to
possess a firearm.
Relatives of the victim will
also be permitted to speak at
his sentencing hearing March
16. The hearing is scheduled to
take 30 minutes.

Alan Edward Damon
November 5, 1948 - February 14, 2021
It is hard to write this
and not make Al appear
as a saint, however for
those who knew him,
you knew Al as a kind,
giving, and tough man,
as well as an all around
badass.
Alan Edward Damon,
born and raised in
Bend, Oregon lived
a full and fun-û lled
life from November
5, 1948 to February
14, 2021. As a father,
grandfather, friend, husband, business owner, coach,
mentor, and much more to many, Al spent his en} re life
ensuring a las} ng and posi} ve impact on the people and
community he loved in Central Oregon.
From a young age Al enjoyed what Oregon has to oû er,
from hun} ng with buddies, skipping class at COCC to
catch a bluebird day at Bachelor, to family boat trips and
camp-outs. Al9s dedica} on to hard work was exhibited
through his 50 years of hands-on opera} ons and
ownership of Cascade Hea} ng & Special} es. This drive
was rooted in his commitment to crea} ng sustainable
jobs for his employees and ensuring he and his team
could provide for their families.
In addi} on to helping the infrastructural growth of
the City of Bend, Al played an ac} ve role in the Bend
sports community, both as a compe} } ve sov ball player,
lit le league coach, and most notably his vision of
development of Big Sky Park - Luke Damon Youth Sports
Complex and Luke Damon Scholarship Fund. To honor
his son, Lucas Alan Damon, who preceded him in death,
Al envisioned a park and scholarship for kids to enjoy as
a way for Luke9s spirit to live on.
In his û nal days Al was peaceful and surrounded by
the love of his daughters, Lisa Johnson & Lara Damon,
the “cheerful” noises of his grandkids, and his long
} me friend, ex-wife and high school sweetheart, Janie
Damon. He felt the support of the many friends and
family who loved him, and when asked how he was
doing, the standard response was <excellent=.
The Damon Family kindly requests for you to share
stories in honor of Al, upload photos or videos,
and follow details related to the memorial event
and fund through an interac} ve memorial website:
www.mykeeper.com/proû le/AlDamon/
As a pillar of the community for more than 70
years, Al will be greatly missed. In lieu of û owers
and giv s a Memorial Fund has been established:
www.gofundme.com/f/al-damon-memorial-fund.
In
collabora} on with Bend Parks & Rec and the Damon
family all dona} ons will go towards Al9s vision for
crea} ng accessible sports experiences for Central
Oregon youth.
A private burial will take place on Wednesday, February
24, 2021. An in} mate memorial will be held on Saturday,
April 24, 2021, with opportuni} es to at end virtually.
