Bend Community Connects: Support, Safety, and Spring Updates
Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Wednesday, April 8.
Rise and shine, Bend! Todays the perfect day to dive into whats shaping our community, starting with some timely events that hit right at home. Tonight at 6 pm, head over to Cottage 33 on NW Louisiana Avenue for Be and Belong, a free suicide prevention and loss support gathering. Its a welcoming space to connect, share stories, and build resilience together, reminding us that support is just a conversation away in our tight-knit town.[7]
Over in politics and policy, mark your calendars for next weeks City Club of Central Oregon forum on Thursday, April 16 at Wille Hall on the COCC Coats Campus Center. From 8 to 9:30 am, hear straight from our state legislators like Senators Anthony Broadman and Mike McLane, and Reps Emerson Levy and Jason Kropf as they break down the 2026 Oregon legislative session. This nonpartisan review will unpack how new laws impact your wallet, business, and neighborhood, with tickets at 15 bucks for members or complimentary via code CivicCO if needed. Its your chance to stay ahead of changes that could reshape local life.[1]
Health news thats a win for our kids: the Bend High School-Based Health Center just relocated to a bigger spot at 606 SE Glenwood Drive, right next to campus. Nearly doubling in size with extra exam and behavioral health rooms, it tackles rising demand for youth care without changing those handy hours like Mondays through Fridays from 8 am to 5 pm. Swing by their open house on May 21 from 4:30 to 6 pm for refreshments, prizes, and a first look, plus easy parking off 6th Street. Call 541-383-3005 to book, because accessible health means healthier futures for our students.[2]
Wildfire prep is heating up with the Central Oregon Fire Prevention Cooperatives third annual fair series, all free and packed with tips to harden your home, handle smoke, and pack evacuation go-kits. Todays kicking off in Sisters at 5 pm with food and talks at Sisters High School, then Prineville and La Pine on April 11, Sunriver on the 16th, and right here in Bend on May 9 from 10 am to 1 pm at COCC Wille Hallbring your go-kit for ice cream. These events turn scary stats into simple steps, keeping our forests and families safer year-round.[3]
A quick community alert: ODHS is asking for eyes on 12-year-old Marcus Taylor Carmicle, missing from Milwaukie since April 6 with brown eyes; they fear hes in danger. If you spot him near Trimet or that area, dial 911 immediately.[4]
And hey, that mild winter saved ODOT a bit on plowing, but budget pressures linger, so watch for road updates that keep our drives smooth.[5]
This has been Bend Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
