Bend Community Updates: Immigration Enforcement, Surveillance Cameras, and Weekend Events
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Thursday, January 15th.
We're starting the day with some important community updates. Central Oregon continues to grapple with immigration enforcement issues that have deeply affected local families. Back in late January of last year, a local man was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a day of skiing at Mount Bachelor. His family spent seven months fighting to bring him home, a battle that highlights the human cost of federal enforcement actions in our region. That case has sparked important conversations at City Hall and in the statehouse about identification requirements for federal agents operating in Oregon.
Speaking of local governance, the City of Bend made a significant decision this week regarding surveillance cameras. The city council has committed to ending its contract with Flock Safety cameras come May, responding to community concerns about privacy. That decision came after considerable public input, and while city leaders asked for minimal applause during the announcement, the community members in attendance clearly felt it was worth celebrating.
If you're looking for things to do today, there's plenty happening around town. Paint and sip classes are popular this evening if you're interested in creativity and relaxation. The Snow-Capped Sunrise Paint and Sip starts at six o'clock, or you can head over to Paint Your Pet Paint and Sip at the Bend Wine Bar if you'd prefer to capture your furry friend on canvas. For the music lovers, there's live music at Stoller Wine Bar, and if comedy is your thing, Winter Mics are happening tonight at Worthy Brewing. Looking for something more active? The Tumalo Tunnel Road Ride leaves at one o'clock this afternoon for cyclists ready for a seventeen-mile adventure.
Over at the Tower Theatre, there's a documentary screening called Left Behind, which tells the inspiring story of mothers who created the first public dyslexic school in New York City. The film starts this evening and is being presented with the High Desert Education Service District.
For those thinking ahead, Cascades Theatrical Company is still running Bring It On the Musical through January eighteenth, and if you missed it earlier this week, Stop Making Sense, the legendary concert film from 1984, is still showing at the Tower Theatre, newly restored in four K.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
