Timothy Arguijo provides Rebecca Hall with water at a homeless community on Hunnell Road in Bend where a variety of amenities are
available, including a mobile shower truck, portable toilets, a hand-washing station, a dumpster, clothes, food and water.
Homeless
Continued from A1
When asked whether ODOT is
considering adding amenities like
dumpsters or portable toilets, Peter
Murphy, a spokesman for the de-
partment of transportation, said the
organization did not have the tools
to manage homeless camps. He said
the organization is not chartered to
take care of homeless camps — it is to
maintain the highway system.
“The greater degree we become
responsible for camps, the farther
away we get from that core responsi-
bility,” Murphy said. “It doesn’t mean
we can’t … the question becomes
whether it should be.”
The city of Bend decided to put
a dumpster at Hunnell Road a few
months ago to address the amount of
trash accumulating in the area, but
even that has brought new problems,
said Shelly Smith, a senior analyst
with the city.
People from outside the area are il-
legally dumping things in the dump-
ster, Smith said.
“We have people dropping off ta-
bles and chairs, and all these items we
are having removed,” Smith said.
Without a plan for intentional
monitoring, other risks, like someone
illegally dumping something toxic
into the dumpster, could also threaten
the camp, she said.
Vandalism is also a concern, Smith
said. Near the beginning of the pan-
demic, the city put in hand-washing
stations to give homeless residents ac-
cess to hygiene while many businesses
and other publicly accessible build-
ings were closed. Several were van-
dalized and one was stolen. Each one
cost $700, she said.
But advocates with the Street
Kitchen Collective, an organization
that brings food and other services to
homeless camps around the region, as
well as some of the homeless residents
themselves, say management has not
been much of an issue.
That’s because the homeless resi-
dents have been cleaning and main-
Legislature
Continued from A1
Brakes vs. no breaks
Monday was “National Nap-
ping Day,” which felt appropri-
ate for many lawmakers and
observers. House Republicans
again required that each bill
be read out loud in its entirety,
as a way of tapping the brakes
on the Democratic superma-
jority’s pace of approving its
agenda.
Normally, bills are read by
title only unless there is an ob-
jection. The GOP has objected
each floor session.
House Speaker Tina Kotek,
D-Portland, has countered by
cutting into scheduled breaks
and extending evening floor
sessions.
Bill for Oregon MIA advances
The first bill of the day that
was read out loud had com-
plete bipartisan support. The
House unanimously approved
House Bill 2700, which would
include Oregonians who were
listed as missing in action in
wars, but whose remains were
later found and returned to
Oregon, among those eligible
for roadside memorial signs.
The bill is being championed
by veterans activist Dick Tobi-
ason of the Bend Heroes Foun-
dation. Rep. Jack Zika, R-Red-
mond, thanked Tobiason on
behalf of the Legislature for
taining the portable toilets them-
selves, said Wenciker, who lives in an
RV off Hunnell Road.
“We’re not slobs,” she said. “Just be-
cause we’re homeless, doesn’t mean
we’re bad people.”
Kalie Mott, who also lives along
Hunnell Road, said there used to be
much more trash littering the area be-
fore the dumpster arrived, and that
the portable toilets have reduced her
own need of needing to go into town
to find a bathroom.
“It definitely makes (life) a lot eas-
ier, especially easier at night when
stores are closed,” Mott said. “Since
we’ve had the port-a-potty, we try to
keep it clean … to make sure it doesn’t
get taken away from us.”
It costs $290 a month to empty the
portable toilets and clean them once
a week, said Tom Stutheit, who pro-
vided the toilets from his nonprofit
the Community Shower Truck.
Jon Riggs, a volunteer with the
Street Kitchen Collective, said having
these amenities has reduced the stress
of people living in the area, and shows
what is possible when it comes to
managing homeless camps.
“With more services, I truly believe
this could become a managed situa-
tion,” Riggs said.
Smith said she is not saying the
city wouldn’t step in to add resources
like portable toilets at camps, but said
more conversations between property
owners near campsites and social ser-
vice providers need to happen. Fund-
ing also needs to be discussed for
these solutions, Smith said. Currently
the city is paying roughly $1,000 a
month to operate the dumpster at
Hunnell Road.
For comparison, the cost to remove
one abandoned campsite in a cleanup
can cost between $750 to $2,500,
Smith said in an email.
With a new City Council heading
into budget planning, Smith said she
and her team will be recommending
how the council should allocate funds
to address high-density camps.
“This isn’t a typical role the city has
played in addressing this important
bringing the issue to them.
“They may be gone, but are
not forgotten,” Zika said.
The bill next goes to the Sen-
ate, where passage is expected.
About 1,000 servicemem-
bers from Oregon remain
MIA, mostly from World War
II.
Power trio appears at
subcommittee meeting
The three most powerful
politicians in Salem appeared
together — virtually — on
Monday for a Joint Ways &
Means Subcommittee on Edu-
cation hearing.
Gov. Kate Brown, Senate
President Peter Courtney,
D-Salem, and Kotek spoke in
support of their joint proposal
for a $250 million summer
learning and child care pack-
age.
Supporters say the program
will help thousands of Oregon
children catch up on learning
and socializing after a year of
mostly virtual schooling.
The legislation “will set our
kids up for success by letting
them be kids again, in envi-
ronments that foster creativity,
learning, and joy,” Brown said.
Hearings on the program
and other education spending
will continue Wednesday.

Other issues
The solution is not as simple as just
putting dumpsters and portable toi-
lets at homeless camps, said Colleen
Thomas, the homeless services coor-
dinator with Deschutes County.
Thomas agrees that providing these
kinds of services are important, as
they are basic human rights. But pro-
viding resources doesn’t mean they
will be used properly. She referenced
the vandalism of the hand-washing
stations earlier last year.
“How do we continue to provide a
resource but make sure it’s being uti-
lized to its full intent?” Thomas said.
Also, just providing a resource is
often not enough. Factors outside of
just access, such as mental illness or
hoarding, also contribute to trash is-
sues and require social service provid-
ers and volunteers to have a relation-
ship with the campers.
“When we look at homelessness as
a general issue, we can’t come up with
a blanket solution on how it should
be addressed, because each individual
has different experiences,” Thomas
said.
The reaction of neighbors of estab-
lished homeless camps also needs to
be considered, she said.
“Even though there is a bigger push
to provide better access to needs, the
other side will say that will encour-
age people to come to this location,”
Thomas said.
The situation at Hunnell Road has
the potential to be replicated, Thomas
said, but also emphasized the need to
keep focused on long-term solutions
to get people out of their unhoused
situations.
Overall, Thomas said more efforts
over time to help keep areas clean is
better than public agencies coming in
to do massive cleanups.
“If there’s more concerted, ongoing
outreach on a more consistent basis to
make sure those experiencing home-
lessness have access to basic needs, this
is the best in the short term,” she said.

March 2 shows 3,189 cases of
the disease linked to Oregon
colleges since February 2020.
The University of Oregon
had the highest reported posi-
tive test count at 1,479. Oregon
State is second at 787 cases and
Eastern Oregon University was
third at 111 cases.
The Times put an asterisk
next toOregon Health & Sci-
ence University in Portland,
which reported 335 cases early
in the pandemic. The campus
includes a medical center and
other facilities that serve the
community.
The review compiled
535,000 cases at more than
1,900 colleges and universities.
The Times estimated this as
an undercount because of no
standardized reporting, con-
tact tracing or infection data-
base for all colleges.
The Times said it had iden-
tified more than 100 cam-
pus-related COVID-19 deaths
nationwide, primarily among
school employees in 2020. It
did not break out the deaths by
state or institution.
Pendleton affordable housing
vote Tuesday
Legislation that would al-
low Pendleton to join Bend
and Redmond in an afford-
able housing pilot program is
scheduled for a House vote on
Tuesday.
House Bill 2160, sponsored
by Rep. Bobby Levy, R-Echo,
would greenlight Land Con-
servation and Development
Commission approval for an
eventual plan to build on up to
50 acres outside of Pendleton’s
current urban growth bound-
ary.
The bill passed the House
Housing Committee unani-
mously. Due to the GOP slow-
down, approval could come in
the evening session planned
for tomorrow.
Republicans push for Capitol
reopening
Senate Republicans who
staged a one-day walkout last
month, and their counterparts
in the House requiring the
reading of bills in full, both say
one of the central issues is their
demand to reopen the Capitol
to the public.
“What the people of Ore-
gon want is for this Capitol to
be open and to have access to
in-person hearings,” said Sen.
Tim Knopp, R-Bend, during
comments on the Senate floor
Thursday. “Many other states
are already doing this with
greater COVID problems than
exist in Oregon today.”
The Capitol has been closed
for a year because of the
COVID-19 pandemic. The
ZIP code around the Capitol
has had the highest number
of positive cases of any in the
state. Control of the Capitol
falls to the Legislature.
