Strike
Continued from A1
St. Charles says it turned to
the court because the labor
board cannot meet prior to the
Thursday strike. The last con-
tract talks were in December.
“It is our fundamental mis-
sion and responsibility as a
health care organization to
take care of our community,”
Aaron Adams, St. Charles
Bend president, said in a pre-
pared statement. “Although
we believe the strike notice is
unlawful, we will proceed with
preparation to ensure contin-
ued care for our patients.”
Frank DeWolf, a St. Charles
Bend cardiac catheterization
lab technologist, said that
while nurses and technology
workers at the hospital of-
ten work side by side, the two
groups of workers are not re-
ceiving the same benefits.
“We used to get the same
benefits they (nurses) did,”
DeWolf said. “People are
frustrated with the hospi-
tal and want parity between
the nurses and the techs who
work side by side. We have
different jobs, but we all share
the same goal of taking care of
patients.”
At the current salary and
benefits of St. Charles techni-
cians, the group makes 20%
less than their counterparts in
Portland, Potter said.
“Our members are avail-
able to bargain, but the hos-
pital hasn’t been able to meet
us for three months or more,”
Potter said. “It’s been really
frustrating. Our members
don’t trust this employer to
get a contract.”

The ring had fallen off Pernich’s finger
before she went sledding that day.
“I had tears in my eyes,” Pernich said. “I
was so happy.”
Williver, 54, who works as a 4-H Pro-
gram Coordinator for Oregon State Uni-
versity, was just as excited as the bride-
to-be. His work was able to rule out the
sledding hill, and the result was his first
successful ring recovery in Central Oregon
as a member of The Ring Finders, which
he joined last year.
“This probably was her most prized
possession,” Williver said. “To actually see
the reaction when she gets it back was just
monumental.”
Williver has enjoyed metal detecting as
a hobby for the past three decades, but he
got serious about helping people two years
ago. He has helped several people in Cen-
tral Oregon and on the Oregon Coast near
Newport, where he lives part-time for his
job at Oregon State University.
“When I’m lucky enough to find one
and return it, the emotions are pretty over-
whelming,” Williver said.
Beyond recovering lost jewelry, he is
drawn to finding historic items that may
not have value but are a connection to the
past, Williver said.
Williver regularly visits Florida’s Trea-
sure Coast, where Spanish treasures were
lost in a 1715 hurricane and spread across
the beaches. Williver hasn’t found any
treasure in Florida, but he has recovered
old musket balls from that era and debris
from the Columbia space shuttle that was
destroyed during re entry into the atmo-
sphere in February 2003.
In Oregon, Williver’s most prized find is
an 1860s padlock he discovered in the old
railroad town of Yaquina, outside New-
port.
“It’s just things that tie us to history, tie
us to our relatives and our ancestors from
long ago,” Williver said.
Williver said the best places to use a
metal detector are where people have con-
gregated, such as fairgrounds, beaches,
churches and granges.
Sometimes he asks private property
owners if he can search on their property.
The searching is just for fun, and he shares
whatever he finds with the property owner.
“We are not hunting it to make money
or collect the stuff,” Williver said. “We are
Investigation
Continued from A1
The Redmond Police De-
partment began looking into
DeMars in early 2020 af-
ter a woman alleged sexual
abuse and domestic violence
at his hands. The case was
forwarded to the Deschutes
County District Attorney’s
Office with a police recom-
mendation to charge DeMars
with a sex crime. First-, sec-
ond- and third-degree sod-
omy are all felonies. Due to a
conflict of interest, the case
was transferred to the Oregon
Department of Justice, which
has yet to make a charging
decision, according to spokes-
woman Kristina Edmundson.
Edmundson declined to
discuss DeMars’ case.
“We’re not in a position to
confirm anything, or share
additional details,” she wrote
to The Bulletin.
DeMars, 37, has earned
$131,807 since being placed
on leave in February 2020. He
remains the subject of an in-
ternal conduct investigation,
in addition to the criminal
investigation. The sheriff ’s
office has so far paid a third-
party investigator $44,397 for
that investigation, a spokes-
man said Monday.
In early 2020, a woman in
a romantic relationship with
DeMars told Redmond Po-
lice his behavior was becom-
ing increasingly frightening
to her. She described various

hunting it to reveal what sort of historic
stuff is there.”
Williver compares metal detecting to
other hobbies like skiing and fly fishing.
A person can’t just grab a pair of skis or
a fishing pole and automatically become
good at the hobby, he said.
“It takes thousands of hours of under-
standing the intricacies and knowing how
to use the equipment in order to get effi-
cient at it,” Williver said.
Recovering a lost item, like Pernich’s en-
gagement ring, also takes strategy. Williver
asks people where they think they lost the
ring, then draws a grid of the area to make
sure he doesn’t miss a spot.
“You have to put on your investigative
hat and talk to them about what hap-
pened,” Williver said.
For Pernich, she was grateful Willi-
ver was willing to meet her at Lake Billy
Chinook to find the ring she had worn
every day since getting engaged in No-
vember.
Pernich lost the ring Feb. 12 and had to
return home to Gresham for the week be-
fore trying to find the ring again the next
weekend. She met Williver Feb. 21, the day
the ring was found.
Williver told her how sometimes he
finds rings and tries to track down the
owner. She was impressed how Williver
wants to help and not just pawn off found
jewelry.
“He tries his hardest,” Pernich said. “He
really cares about getting important things
back to their owners.”

Richard “Deke” DeMars, 37, has earned $131,807 since
being placed on leave in February 2020. He remains the
subject of an internal conduct investigation, in addition to
the criminal investigation.
controlling behaviors and be-
ing awoken to rough sex in
the middle of the night. She’d
started recording conversa-
tions with him and sending
them to friends, scared some-
thing might happen to her,
according to the police report.
She told a detective she
feared for her and her chil-
dren’s safety if she ended up
costing DeMars his job. He’d
reportedly told her if she went
to police, “no one would be-
lieve her because he’s ‘Deke
DeMars’ and she is just a
drunk.”
Police next interviewed
several friends of the woman,
who confirmed she had
shared with them the same
details. One friend said that
once when she was out at bars
with the alleged victim, they
noticed DeMars following
them from a distance in his
truck. The alleged victim told
her friend he didn’t do it to
ensure they were safe but to
later try to catch the woman
in lies about where she had
been.
One day, DeMars’ accuser
called the friend to ask her to
delete the conversations with
DeMars she had sent her, the
friend told police. The alleged
victim later told the friend
that DeMars had made her
make the call and had been
listening in on the call at the
time.
In February 2020, a 911 call
led to the exposure of a re-
lationship between DeMars
and one of his female subor-
dinates. That woman, Allie
Lamb, had called emergency
services to report her live-in
boyfriend was acting suicidal.
Days later, the office would
announce that DeMars and
another sheriff ’s office ser-
geant, Kevin Dizney, had been
placed on paid leave.
Dizney was also one of
Lamb’s supervisors, and he
It’s unclear if the 911 call and
Dizney being placed on leave
are related.
Dizney was disciplined and
is now back at work. Dizney
collected $116,210 while on
paid leave. The investigator in
his case earned $11,122.
DeMars and Lamb are now
married. Lamb, who now goes
by her married name, remains
employed with the Deschutes
County Sheriff ’s Office.
DeMars was named the
state’s top deputy in 2007.
In recommending him for
the distinction, a supervi-
sor wrote of receiving a let-
ter from a woman who said
DeMars had helped her buy
groceries when she was out of
money and he was behind her
in the checkout line. The next
year, he was given the Award
of Valor by the Oregon State
Sheriff ’s Association for his
actions during a shooting in
La Pine.
