Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Thursday, April 9th.
Rise and shine, Bend! Todays the day our community levels up with the grand opening of the new Goodwill Superstore and job training facility on Hunnell Road right by Costco. Picture this: a massive 10,000-square-foot space bursting with treasures while creating over 50 new jobs and free career classes for anyone ready to boost their skills. Were talking resume workshops, Microsoft mastery, ESL lessons, and scam-spotting savvy, all led by pros like assistant manager Robert Reichert. The ribbon-cutting kicked off at 8am with Mayor Melanie Kebler, city council members, and Bend Chamber folks cheering it on. Swing by today to snag deals and maybe kickstart your next chapter, because in Bend, second chances come with first-rate training that sticks.
Heads up for our outdoor lovers: smoke might tint the skies from prescribed burns keeping wildfires at bay. On the Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District, firefighters are igniting up to 365 acres on Tiddlywinks units just a mile west of town off Forest Service Road 41, starting at 9:30am. Expect a pilot car escorting traffic, plus closures on Storm King Trail, Catch and Release, and a few side roads until mopup wraps up safely. Over on Sisters Ranger District, 40 acres near Flymon by Camp Sherman and Lake Billy Chinook light up at 10am, with firefighters on FSR 11. Smoke could drift into Bend, Sunriver, La Pine, and the Deschutes drainage, peaking overnight and early morning. Keep windows shut, fire up air filters or that central AC, and drive smart if youre out heads on, recirculate. Text COFIRE to 888-777 for alerts, and check centraloregonfire.org for tips, because these burns today mean safer adventures tomorrow.
Safety first on our streets too, as Bend Police just flipped the switch on automatic traffic cameras at three key intersections. These smart setups with video cams and license plate snappers catch speeders and red-light runners, tackling reckless driving where officers cant always be. Captain Brian Beekman says its a direct response to your concerns, making our roads less crash-prone so families get home hassle-free.
For fun, grab the latest Source Weekly its packed with Bend breweries crushing the 11th Oregon Beer Awards, fresh astrology from Rob Brezsny, and arcade vibes at another Castle spot. Whether youre job hunting, hiking trails, or sipping local brews, Bend buzzes with opportunity today.
