A14 THE BULLETIN • TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 2021
Board
Continued from A1
Although the school board
planned to appoint someone
to serve the remaining two
years of Carpenter’s term, De-
schutes County Clerk Nancy
Blankenship ruled that the seat
must be filled by election, as
Carpenter left the board with
enough time between then
and the May 18 special elec-
tion.
After a slightly extended
candidate filing period, the
dust has settled, and voters in
Redmond, Terrebonne and
Tumalo will have four school
board candidates to choose
from for Carpenter’s seat.
Gonzalez
Lawson
Redmond resident Oscar
Gonzalez is the family empow-
erment programs manager at
Bend-based nonprofit Latino
Community Association, ac-
cording to county filings. He
has held other education-fo-
cused positions in the past, in-
cluding academic advising at
community colleges in Salem,
Eugene and Houston.
Carmen Lawson, also a
Lopez
Perry
Redmond resident, is a kin-
dergarten teacher at Madras
Elementary School, she told
The Bulletin. Before teaching
in Madras, Lawson was an ed-
ucational assistant at Redmond
Early Learning Center — now
Hugh Hartman Elementary
— and John Tuck Elementary
School.
Keri Lopez, who lives in ru-
ral Deschutes County, is an
administrator specializing in
human resources and payroll
for Bend-based construction
contractor Rogue Builders, ac-
cording to county filings. She
is also a board member of the
Redmond Sports Federation
nonprofit.
The fourth candidate is Ea-
gle Crest resident Bob Perry, a
retired marketing director for
Gillette, according to county
filings. He served one term on
the Redmond School Board,
from 2011-15, and did not file
for reelection afterwards. Perry
was also the chair of the De-
schutes County Republican
Party from 2015-16.

People have stopped Harding in the gro-
cery store to take pictures with her and one
boy visited the Bend Blockbuster and was
in awe of seeing Harding, she said.
“It’s good for the store. It’s good for the
community,” Harding said. “And I can
learn to live with my newfound fame as
long as it doesn’t mess with what we are
doing every day.”
The two Bend filmmakers behind the
documentary, Taylor Morden and Zeke
Kamm, had no idea if the store would
stay open when they started filming in
2017. The movie focuses on Harding’s
day-to-day effort to run the store, which
became the last in the world when the
Blockbuster in Perth, Australia, closed in
March 2019.
Morden said he’s heard from people
who call Harding a national treasure and
say the store must remain open at all costs.
He’s pleased to know the film’s attention on
Netflix may be what keeps the store open.
“For us to have some small part in help-
ing the store stay open is amazing,” Mor-
den said. “Not a lot of documentaries actu-
ally accomplish the goal of their story.”
The Bend Blockbuster has no plans to
close. It has a steady lease agreement with
the building’s property owner. The own-
ers of the local Blockbuster, Ken and Deb-
bie Tisher, have leased the property since
1992, when it was a Pacific Video store.
The store was franchised in 2000 and be-
came a Blockbuster.
In its heyday, Blockbuster had 9,000
stores. The documentary reminds people
about those years when Blockbuster was
the leader in home entertainment.
Morden said many viewers enjoy the
irony of watching the documentary on
Netflix, the streaming service credited with
changing the way people watch movies at
home and leading to the demise of Block-
buster.
The film has also brought viewers to
Kilby
Continued from A1
He’s suspected of killing Jeffery Taylor,
66, and Benny Taylor, 69, the day earlier,
according to the Deschutes County Dis-
trict Attorney’s Office. At least one of the
men bore wounds from a hatchet, District
Attorney John Hummel said.
Three months earlier, Kilby was ar-
rested for assault but not
charged following an al-
leged attack on Banks on
Christmas Day. Banks,
43, was admitted to St.
Charles Bend with severe
head injuries and even-
tually placed on life sup-
port before her death.
Kilby
After he was arrested
for the deaths of Jeffery Taylor and Benny
Taylor, Kilby allegedly provided police
enough evidence to arrest him for Banks’
death, as well.
On Monday, Kilby appeared by video
from the Deschutes County jail wearing a
protective smock, a sturdy garment meant
to prevent self-harm. Deschutes County
Circuit Judge Beth Bagley assigned him
an April court date to enter a plea and or-
dered him held without bail.

Sandi Harding, the Bend Blockbuster man-
ager, has been busy filling online orders for
merchandise since the documentary “The Last
Blockbuster” started trending on Netflix.
tears, especially those who have fond
memories of working at a Blockbuster in
their childhood, Morden said.
“The best part is the people who mes-
sage us and say they worked at Blockbuster
and were crying watching the movie,”
Morden said. “It brought back so many
great memories.”
Morden and Kamm are still amazed
their movie has gone viral on Netflix, stay-
ing in the top 10 for two weeks. Kamm
said he’s heard from old high school class-
mates and a childhood crush, who all en-
joyed the film.
“It’s affected people emotionally,”
Kamm said. “I think it reminded people
that we had this thing that was such an
important part of our lives. Hopefully it
reminds people to appreciate the things
they have now.”
Both filmmakers feel connected with
the Bend Blockbuster, even though they
are done filming their movie. They contact
Harding regularly to find out if she needs
more DVDs of their movies or movie
posters to sell at the store.
“I’m sure I’ll be involved with the folks
at the last Blockbuster until they ever
close,” Morden said. “There is no way we
are not going to be connected.”
The video of George Floyd gasping for
breath was essentially Exhibit A as the
former Minneapolis police officer who
pressed his knee on the Black man’s neck
went on trial Monday on charges of mur-
der and manslaughter.
Prosecutor Jerry Blackwell showed the
jurors the footage at the earliest opportu-
nity, during opening statements, after tell-
ing them that the number to remember
was 9 minutes, 29 seconds — the amount
of time officer Derek Chauvin had Floyd
pinned to the pavement last May.
Chauvin attorney Eric Nelson coun-
tered by arguing: “Derek Chauvin did ex-
actly what he had been trained to do over
his 19-year career.”
Minneapolis police dispatcher Jena
Scurry testified that she saw part of
Floyd’s arrest unfolding via a city surveil-
lance camera and was so disturbed that
she called a duty sergeant. Scurry said
she grew concerned because the officers
hadn’t moved after several minutes.
“You can call me a snitch if you want
to,” Scurry said in her call to the sergeant,

Fourteen jurors or alternates are hear-
ing the case — eight of them white, six
of them Black or multiracial, according
to the court. Only 12 will deliberate; the
judge has not said which two will be alter-
nates. Three other former officers go on
trial in August .
WHO report: Coronavirus likely first
jumped into humans from animals
A joint World Health Organiza-
tion-China study on the origins of
COVID-19 says that transmission of the
virus from bats to humans through an-
other animal is the most likely scenario
and that a lab leak is “extremely unlikely,”
according to a draft copy.
The findings offer little new insight
into how the virus first emerged and
leave many questions unanswered. Dr.
Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious
diseases expert, said he would like to see
the report’s raw information first before
deciding about its credibility.
China rejected criticism of its involve-
ment Monday.
