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. NASA/JPL-Caltech via AP 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.” e e Reporter: 541-633-2160, bvisser@bendbulletin.com 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. e e Reporter: 541-383-0325, gandrews@bendbulletin.com OBITUARY LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI " 1919-2021 Influential Beat poet ran bookstore some old fool sound- ing off and trying to escape the dominant Lawrence Fer- materialist avaricious linghetti, the poet, consciousness of publisher, book- America?” he asked in seller and activist “Little Boy,” a stream who helped launch Ferlinghetti of consciousness novel the Beat movement published around the in the 1950s and embodied time of his 100th birthday its curious and rebellious He made history.

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
