I think these children are missing out on the senior high school experience. They should be able to make memories.

Highschool kids need to at least have something to feel normal, we have been stripped of half the school year and all events last summer. Just one thing. Just one thing is all we want. One night where we can feel normal and have a highschool experience. Just one at least

Let student live there lives

Alyssa

if football players can hug each other on the ground without a mask and dog pile each other, and contact sports are allowed, our senior kids deserve this. make thsi happen

Celsi Gebhard

Teens need to be allowed to live thier life's, we have shut down and taken away so many valuable high school expirences, we need to allow are children to have memories with friends and High School experiences that are a huge part of growing up! Support Prom 100% will be there to help anyway I

Kevin Crabtree

If they need a little sponsorship I will donate

Seniors were deprived of a graduation last year which I think was foolish. We have gatherings that result in high case counts. So what? Every time you get in an automobile you risk the chance of death or being maimed for life. We still do it don't we?

Karen Dulley

Its one of the rights of passage for high school. We need to get our kids back to normal

We are in a pandemic right now, this is a big risk. We don't need a superspreader event.

If it's private, by its very nature, it wouldn't be "policed," meaning there would likely be no distancing or mark-wearing. It's just too risky. It's a shame students cannot enjoy such HS highlights, but it's better to be alive and be able to reflect on it later.

Lynnea Fredrickson

It would be a different story if it was a prom event that was limited and masks were required. Then it would be a safer event. I understand that prom is a major event but so is graduation and we have already lost too many individuals that are no longer alive to experience it.

Alyssa

it is a limited event, and masks required, you cannot see that because that is on the flyer that is cut out at the bottom!!

Julie Coulter

The guide lines are for a purpose. Central Oregon is close to being under locked down again because of people think theier pleasures are more important than other people's heath or even their lives. I heard them say they would wear mask and social distance. Who do you think they are kidding.

P Robbins

They need to be in school longer...attire is spelled with two, "t's." Their invitation spells it, "atire." Good grief. These are seniors. To have a large gathering is irresponsible. There are 99 new infections in Deschutes County *today.* St. Charles Hospital has 4 ppl on respirators.

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

Richard Williams

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Joanna Lee

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

Shane Murray

The homeless have trashed the forest out there. It makes me sick

Greg Deadbolt Leach

Time to move these people to the Attorneys and Judges front lawns!!!

Karen Thrower

The China Hat area has been badly damaged and disrespected by campers.

Jeannie H.

How is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!

Nancy

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

Lynn Marie Leehmann

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

Brad Aimone

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

Nancy Roquero

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

Lisa York

the USFS has been planning this burn since Oct 2019... more than enough time for the homeless/advocacy groups to come up with a plan to move...

Debbie Boyd

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

pamcuny

I worry every year WHO is in the woods starting fires, whether deliberate or unintentional consequences…

Tammy Salka

The homeless are not residents, they are squatters!

Jeff Sanders

I live near China Hat and used to love going out the with my dog. Once weapons started be pulled on people that stopped. I want my forest back. Good riddance to the whole lot. Don't ever come back.

Latterdaysaint

There needs to be more homeless shelters in the city!

Kim Kahl

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.

He should be FIRED immediately as he is the individual in charge of the entire department. He must set the standard of honesty and integrity for both staff and the Public. What type of leader is this? Why is this even being questioned? He faced charges in La Mesa, California as well!

steven

I just heard the recording. He lied about lying. Gotta go.

David Kline

Sad to see this happen.

Susan Kate Mayer

Good job DA! Glad someone is doing their job

Ceiling Cat9001

Recall him.

Michael Hickey

Why is he still in this position, come on Deschutes Co. This is pathetic.

Laura Wattenbarger

How can he be trusted to be truthful in anything if he lied about even just this one thing? A man in his position shouldn't be lying about anything at all and the fact that he did makes him untrustworthy 100%.

Anne King

If he can't be honest about such a basic thing as his education, he can't be trusted with Deschutes County's safety! What else has he lied about? He should resign!

SunnySunshinestein

He needs to resign.

Just more Liberal attacks on Conservative. This is what they do because they lost the elections. Poor losers!
