A High Desert Middle School student was left with multiple broken bones after her family said she was hit by someone riding an e-bike.

“I have a fractured collarbone and elbow,” sixth grader Sivan Malchy said. “The bike came out of nowhere, they were going really fast. I feel like I was in shock a lot, so I didn’t even really kind of cry.”

She’s now at the beginning of her road to recovery. For now, no playing the tuba and no soccer.

Jill Leonard, Sivan’s mother, was close by and rushed her daughter to the hospital.

“I was really proud of her because I would not have been able to handle it the way she did,” she said. “It was really scary, though, at one point that she had like eight different people around her, you know, working on her.”

Leonard says the e-bike rider, a 17-year-old, was fully cooperative and got their own injuries checked out. But when she called police, she didn’t get the reaction she was expecting.

“Honestly, that disappointed me. They’re like ‘nothing we can do,'” she said. “How are people going to be held accountable for hitting people? Now, if this is a car that hit my daughter, I think it might have been a little bit different.”

Nar Malchy, Sivan’s father,says he feels the same way.

“God forbid she would be more hit, would that trigger any other investigation?” he said.

Meanwhile, Sivan will start the healing process.

“I have trouble doing like really simple things,” she said. “Random things like getting up out of a chair, like I tried brushing my hair today and it just was not the best.”

Her parents feel they continue to lack the answers they’re looking for.

“It’s not black and white in the law,” Leonard said. “Maybe this is just the catalyst … ‘Let’s put some accountability in when next time there’s an accident. A, B and C are put in place.’ So then people feel like, ‘okay, my daughter got hurt? This is what’s going to happen now.’”

Bend Police said Friday the incident is under investigation.

Leonard said she contacted the city of Bend months ago to try and install a crosswalk at the intersection where Sivan was hit. That hasn’t happened.

Earlier this year, Israel native Aric Tsypkin set out to complete the Pacific Crest Trail that runs up and down the West Coast. 

Two days before completing the trail, his home country was invaded.

“On the 7th of October, I looked up in my phone and I saw the news. I had messages from friends saying like, ‘How? Where are you? Are you okay? Are you back home?’ Tsypkin said. “Then my mind was just racing for these two days that I had left to finish the trail.”

After completing the PCT, Tsypkin was forced to rethink his future plans. Going home was out of the picture, so he applied for a visa extension and landed back in Central Oregon.

During his stop in Bend, he says he got hooked with a taste of free beer and float on the river.

“Bend was the best stop on the trail along all the other towns,” he said. “For now, I’m happy to be here.”

After finding a place to stay, Tsypkin shared his story on several of Bend’s Facebook groups, hoping to connect with the community. What happened next he couldn’t believe. So many messages arrived in his inbox, he couldn’t respond to them all.

“Tons of people, sending messages privately and just offer their help,” Tsypkin said. “They invited me to climb and hike, run with them.”

He says he also received overwhelming support after his journey.

“I tell the story and they always smile at me and share their compassion and prayers for Israel,” he said. “It feels great, it’s a beautiful community here.”

Tsypkin says he going to make the most of his Central Oregon stay but hopes that a return home to see his family will become more possible in the coming months.

“I call my parents and my siblings every day,” he said. “Staying away for a few more months would be smarter and wiser. To let it cool down, and hopefully we’ll get a cease fire, and we can find like a solution for the conflict.”

Affordable housing is considered one of the greatest challenges for recruiting new employees to Central Oregon. Mt. Bachelor thinks it may have found a unique solution, announcing a new partnership Wednesday with the Campfire Hotel to open up 30 rooms to seasonal mountain employees.

Employees could move in as early as this month.

“We’re both benefiting from it in addition to the community,” Campfire Hotel General Manager Daniel Elder said. “It’s a win-win-win situation and we’re really excited about it.”

Campfire will set aside 30 of its 100 rooms to accommodate the workers.

“Bachelor is the owner of the room essentially for these five-and-a-half months and then their employees are then their tenants,” Elder said.

It’s the kind of partnership more businesses around Central Oregon may begin to embrace. According to a report from the Bend Chamber of Commerce, the median price of an area home has more than tripled since 2010 to more than $750,000.

“People who are excited to be a part of the mountain and being up there playing in the snow all day, and then you get to come back here and enjoy the firepit, enjoy our saltwater pool,” Elder said.

Mt. Bachelor did not tell Central Oregon Daily News how much each person would have to pay for a room, but they said the price was well below market average.
