Bend Local Frequency: Stolen Dump Truck, Governor's Prosperity Council, Winter Activities Abound
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Wednesday, February 18th.
We're starting today with a significant development in local law enforcement. Bend Police are investigating the theft of a dump truck worth more than half a million dollars that was stolen from a job site on Bachelor View Road on Monday morning. The owner used GPS tracking to follow the vehicle as it was driven for several hours before coming to a stop near Sisters. Deputies with the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office assisted in locating the truck on a U.S. Forest Service road, and it has since been recovered. Investigators say the suspect could face charges of aggravated theft and unlawful use of a motor vehicle once identified. The case remains open.
On the economic development front, Governor Tina Kotek's Prosperity Council held its second meeting in Redmond yesterday, focusing on how Oregon can attract and grow businesses. The Council toured BASX, a manufacturing leader in data center cooling solutions, and then held a business roundtable at Hayden Homes headquarters. Local business leaders shared insights about what's working and what needs to change to make Oregon more competitive. The Council has launched statewide engagement tools and an online survey to gather feedback from communities across Oregon about the state's economic future.
If you're looking for things to do today, there's plenty happening around Bend. The Community Nordic Program is running this morning at Mount Bachelor Nordic Center from nine-thirty to noon. All experience levels are welcome for nordic skiing and snowshoeing, and it's a no-cost program with rental equipment available. Oregon Adaptive Sports is offering transportation from their Bend office for those who need it.
For the evening, music lovers can head to the Commonwealth Pub at seven-thirty to catch Mys Jae, a performer with classical training in multiple instruments and a background in soul and funk music. If stargazing is more your speed, the Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory is hosting an in-depth winter nighttime visit starting at seven o'clock, featuring access to the nation's largest collection of publicly accessible telescopes.
There's also an introduction to stained glass class running through next week at DIY Cave if you're interested in learning the copper foil technique.
With a busy evening of events and great opportunities to get outside or explore the arts, there's something for everyone in Bend today.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
