SUMMARY:Essential Practices for Central and Ductless Heat Pump Installations
DESCRIPTION:Heat pumps have proven to be an effective comfort solution for homes in Bend and the Central Oregon region – from central systems serving the entire home to single-zone ductless units\, but only when designed and installed properly. This interactive class will focus on real-world installation practices that lead to satisfied customers\, efficient operation\, and long system life. Participants will also get hands-on experience using Bluetooth tools to assess system airflow and ductwork performance. This training is designed for contractors\, HVAC installers and technicians\, energy efficiency professionals\, and other residential construction trades professionals serving Bend and the surrounding communities. \nCome prepared with questions related to heat pump installation. Lunch will be provided at the end of the training. You can take it with you or stay and network. What you will learn: the right system size based on the home’s layout\, heating and cooling load\, and distribution system (ducted or ductless); site and install outdoor units properly to avoid noise complaints\, drainage issues\, and service challenges; prepare the installation to support system longevity and meet manufacturer requirements; ensure proper airflow and distribution\, including duct system for central systems and effective indoor unit placement for ductless systems; verify system performance\, including airflow\, refrigerant charge\, and system controls; provide practical tips for educating homeowners on system operation and maintenance to maximize comfort\, efficiency\, and equipment life.

SUMMARY:Oregon Origins Project
DESCRIPTION:Oregon Origins Project presents a bold and multifaceted exploration of Newberry Volcano in central Oregon\, the largest volcano in the Cascade Range. The June 25-26\, 2026 program includes a new work for contemporary dance inspired by the caldera\, an evening of Northern Paiute legends and stories\, an exhibition exploring geology and transformation\, and a special guided tour of the volcano for ticket holders. Tickets are flexible pricing with a minimum ticket price of $10.\n\nThursday\, June 25 at 7:30pm: Stories of the Northern Paiute\, a special gathering led by Wilson Wewa\, the tribe’s spiritual leader and an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Wewa’s presentation will range widely across the central Oregon landscape\, including Wayahoo Panoona\, as he shares oral histories\, legends\, accounts of war\, and recent events related to the Northern Paiute presence in the lands that have been their homeland since time immemorial. A Q&A will follow Wewa’s presentation.\n\nFriday\, June 26 at 7:30pm: Echoes of Eruption\, a new contemporary dance work commissioned by Oregon Origins Project from choreographer/composer Samuel Hobbs and performed by Hobbs’ innovative dance company push/FOLD. This substantial new work will take audiences into the molten heart of Newberry\, layering and folding bodies in a sculptural exploration of churning magma\, with a musical soundscape evocative of the glassy textures of the nearby Big Obsidian Flow.\n\nFollowing the performance\, University of Oregon geologist and Bend resident Daniele McKay will offer a multimedia guided tour of the caldera’s past\, present\, and future\, illuminating the remarkable variety of volcanic features at Newberry and how it has shaped and continues to shape central Oregon. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A with the creative team.\n\nAlso\, don’t miss Visual Echoes\, a companion exhibition of visual artworks at the Scalehouse Collaborative for the Arts Annex between May 1-June 26\, 2026.\n\nOregon Origins Project VIII: Echoes of Eruption is supported by the Ronni S. Lacroute Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation\, Clabough Foundation\, Tower Theatre Foundation\, Waypoint Hotel\, Reed College Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Program\, Brooks Resources\, Discover Your Northwest\, and the Central Oregon Geoscience Society.
