“People need to watch their speed through that
section particularly on winter days.”
— Janet Hruby, city of Bend transportation engineer
Turn

For the fourth time in about four years, a car crashed through the fence of Mike
Condino’s property in Bend Jan. 30.
Killing
City transportation officials are
aware of the issue at the Murphy Road
turn. They installed a small warning
sign and plan to add reflectors to the
area.
Still, Condino, a cannabis farmer
who moved to Grants Pass in 2018,
said he is worried about the tenants in
his home on Dovewood Place, where
Condino had lived since 2011. The
family has children and a dog that
could be in danger from another ac-
cident.
Condino suspects most of the driv-
ers are speeding in the 30 mph zone
on Murphy Road and don’t realize
they are driving through a neighbor-
hood in southwest Bend.
“It’s a long, dark, straight road, so
it makes it feel like the speed is much
faster than it is,” Condino said. “Then
you get to a turn and people just slide
through. It’s extremely dangerous.”
The problem started after Murphy
Road was extended to Brookswood
Boulevard in 2015, and the new road
passed behind Condino’s house. The
first major crash occurred in October
2017: A Volkswagen Jetta was totaled

Holland was psychologically
evaluated, and his alcohol and
drug use disorders and persistent
depressive disorders were identi-
fied as factors in his mindset.
In late August, he told two
new cellmates in the Deschutes
County jail he’d murdered his
ex-girlfriend after they’d asked
why he was in jail. He made
similar admissions in letters
to two women, which were
turned over to prosecutors. He
wrote he was “out of his mind”
when he killed Jakubek.
“He said he didn’t remember
much about that night, that he
was messed up on drugs and
alcohol,” said Brandi Shroyer,
Deschutes County deputy dis-
trict attorney. “He made state-
ments that he couldn’t believe
what he did and commented
that she didn’t deserve what
happened to her.”
Jakubek, 54, was born in
Sand Point, Idaho, and hailed
from Prescott, Arizona. She
relocated to Redmond in the
mid-1990s with a husband
who died shortly afterward.
Vaccines
Health System had distributed
32,507 COVID-19 vaccina-
tions in coordination with
Deschutes County Health Ser-
vices and the Oregon National
Guard.

There was an attestation
form on the St. Charles web-
site, but if people registered
directly through MyChart,
they were able to bypass this
step in the process. St. Charles
closed that loophole after be-
coming aware of the problem,
St. Charles spokeswoman Lisa
Goodman said..
Bryant told several other
friends, who also logged on to
the MyChart site. He said sev-
eral were able to get the first
shots. Some got appointments
for Saturday, Jan. 16, but within
48 hours the appointment page
had closed down and the Sat-
urday appointments were can-
celed.
A couple of other people
told The Bulletin that they,
their spouses and close rela-
tives, also received the shots in
mid-January, though they were
not medical workers. If they
showed up with an elderly par-
ent, they, too received a shot.
They declined to have their
names used for this article.
Most had said it was uninten-
tional on their part, but since
they were present, they agreed
to get the shot.
Goodman said that it’s
highly likely some people
skirted the protocols early on
in the vaccination clinics.
“Initially, the state left a lot
of it to us to figure out. We ac-
knowledge that it is likely that
a number of people who were
not eligible were able to get
vaccinated,” Goodman said.
“The thinking was we need
to get vaccines into arms and
we are going to do our best to
screen for eligibility, but ul-
timately, it was an imperfect
process.”
Goodman noted that when-
ever there was leftover vac-
cines from the clinic at the
Deschutes County Fair and
Expo Center due to someone
missing an appointment, those
shots were given to patients
staying at the hospital who had
underlying conditions and to
volunteers at the fairgrounds
clinic.
“The shelf life of the vaccine
is so short, we felt it is best to
get it into people who need it,”
she said.
Goodman said she had
heard anecdotally that caregiv-
ers were reaching out to people
to notify them there were extra
doses.
“We very quickly reacted
with internal communications
to stop that. We communicated
to our workforce that family
members were not eligible un-
less they are employed by St.
Charles or are a health care
worker with another organi-
zation.”
“I can’t speak to those inci-
dents or verify that. What I do
know is in January, some em-
ployees were mistakenly under
the impression that there were
‘extra’ vaccines. We prepared
the exact number of doses for
the people who were sched-
uled. If there were no shows,
we would take the vaccines
to the hospital and vaccinate
our inpatients. If we had extra
doses, they were given to our
high-risk inpatients.”
Since then, St. Charles has
instituted checkpoints to en-
sure people are eligible to re-
ceive the vaccine. They are
asked to fill out an online form
and then are contacted for fur-
ther verification and schedul-
ing.
“Throughout this process,
we have done our best to en-
sure those who are receiving
vaccines are eligible,” Good-
man said. “What matters most
is tens of thousands of people
have now been vaccinated and
we are starting to see a light at
the end of the tunnel.”
As of Tuesday, St. Charles

to Condino’s fence.
Since his tenants arrived in Aug.
1, 2018, three more vehicles broke
through the fence. The most recent
was Jan. 30, when a Nissan Armada
SUV just missed Condino’s shed.
To help drivers coming from the
parkway, the city of Bend installed a
warning sign before the turn on Mur-
phy Road last year. Condino appre-
ciates the sign but believes the area
needs a larger speed-reduction sign
and other warning signals, especially
since the recent crash. “It’s a tiny, lit-
tle warning sign that doesn’t give you
any information about how severe the
curve actually is,” Condino said. “It
would be so easy to miss that or as-
sume it’s telling you a curve is coming.
Not a 90-degree turn with a very tight
radius.”
Janet Hruby, a transportation en-
gineer in the city of Bend’s transpor-
tation and mobility department, said
the city regularly responds to safety
concerns from residents through a cit-
izen service request process online or
over the phone.
“Even if there is one crash that is off
the road like that, we will take a look
and see if there is something that we
can do,” Hruby said.
In this case, city staff visited the
She had two brothers and
one child, Beaudoin, whom
she was especially close with.
She had multiple sclerosis,
and Beaudoin described her
as frail.
She and Holland dated for
about half a year, though she
had ended the relationship by
the time of her death. Police
were called to her property
several times due to Holland’s
aggressive behavior, once when
a neighbor was concerned.
Holland has numerous con-
victions and several prison sen-
tences on his record. Beaudoin
theorized the murder was a
subconscious means of re-en-
tering the prison system.
“You’re institutionalized;
you wanted to go home,” Beau-
Murphy Road site several times. Due
to the recent crash, staff ordered re-
flectors that should be installed in two
to three weeks, Hruby said.
“This will help narrow the field of
vision of the drivers and give them
another indicator to slow down,”
Hruby said.
Hruby said this particular location
gets slippery and icy because it does
not get much sunlight during the
day. Slick road conditions may have
caused some of the crashes, she said.
“People need to watch their speed
through that section particularly on
winter days,” Hruby said.
Condino hopes the city’s measures
and more awareness will prevent fu-
ture crashes. In the meantime, the
fence has a large hole from the last
crash that is temporarily covered with
metal mesh.
Condino plans to put out three
concrete barriers to protect his fence
and the family living in his house.
“My short-term solution is I’m go-
ing to place Jersey barriers in the dan-
ger zone so the kids and dogs that live
at my house are not killed by a reck-
less driver,” Condino said. “And they
are not even that reckless. People just
go through that fence.”

doin told him in court. “That’s
the only reason I can think of.
Now you get what you wanted,
and I get to live every day with-
out my best friend.”
During a brief statement to
the court, Holland contended
he wasn’t in his “right mind” at
the time he killed Jakubek.
“I loved her. I didn’t want to
hurt her. I know I did that and
I just apologize for it,” he said.
Deschutes County Circuit
Court Judge Raymond Crutch-
ley told Beaudoin the case un-
derscores how little power the
court system sometimes has.
“I can only wish you the best
going forward and dealing
with this loss,” he said.
Crutchley then told Holland
the facts of his case were hard
to listen to, and he disagreed
with Holland’s explanation that
his actions July 5 were due to
intoxication.
“I often tell people who come
before me who have commit-
ted acts of violence and atroci-
ties, that you are what you do,”
Crutchley said. “You have taken
the life of someone without just
cause — you brutally took her
life. You are a murderer, be-
cause that’s what you did.
“Unfortunately, there’s no
undoing this. What’s left is
the wreck and the havoc that
you’ve wrought on this com-
munity and in the life of her
son. I hope you take this time
to reflect on that.”
