Bend Local Frequency: Spring Safety Alert and Weekend Entertainment Guide
Published 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Saturday, March 21.
Kicking off with a serious reminder on our roads, folks. The Deschutes County Sheriffs Office is ramping up traffic enforcement after a string of heart-stopping incidents, including a 23-year-old Redmond man busted going 120 miles per hour near milepost 128 between Bend and Redmond last week. His blood alcohol was three times the legal limit at 0.25 percent, leading to arrests for DUII, reckless driving, and more. Just Thursday, deputies clocked two drivers at 102 and 109 on Highway 97 south of town. Sheriff Ty Rupert says these speeds leave no room for error, turning a split-second mistake into tragedy. With 114 DUII complaints and 288 traffic stops since late February, expect more patrols as spring hits, especially with everyone itching to hit the highways. Slow down, stay sober, and plan that ride-share, Bend. Wed rather see you late than not at all.[1][5]
Shifting to yesterday's close call in Tumalo, a detached shop at 65425 76th Street went up in flames Friday afternoon, spreading to nearby vegetation and lighting up Highway 97. Bend Fire and Rescue, with help from Cloverdale and Redmond crews, kept it from torching the main house or other buildings. They mopped up hot spots into the evening, so if youre near Tumalo Road today, give the pros space while they wrap up. Cause is still under investigation, but its a stark reminder to check those smoke detectors and outbuildings as we dry out.[3]
On a brighter note, get out and enjoy this crisp March Saturday packed with Bend vibes. Catch Chloe Gendrow live at McMenamins Old St. Francis School Father Lukes Room tonight starting at 6:30, an all-ages show blending soulful tunes perfect for unwinding. Over at Faith Hope and Charity Vineyards, Jeff Miller and The Congregation bring their NW rock from 5 to 8 PM, pairing great with local wines under the stars. Music lovers, head to Volcanic Theatre Pub for West 22nd, the Austin rockers hitting the stage at 7. Families, Wanderlust Tours offers a Sunset Hike and Stargazing at Fort Rock, immersing you in the Oregon Outback magic. And dont miss Shakespeares Much Ado About Nothing wrapping its Central Oregon run through tomorrow, witty romance thatll have you laughing all weekend.[4][6][10][11]
Looking ahead, Bend Police launch automated traffic cameras at three intersections April 15 to curb red-light runners, and City Council mulls a climate pollution fee on new gas hookups to push greener builds. Stay tuned for impacts on traffic and new homes.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
