A woman drowns in the Deschutes River after rafting over Pringle Falls at about 5:30 p.m. yesterday. The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office says 48-year-old Lisa Braughton of Silver Lake had been camping at Pringle Falls Campground. Her body was recovered about three-quarters of a mile downstream from the falls following an air and ground search. Her rafting companion, who managed to swim to safety, says they did not notice the warning signs that are posted along the approach to the falls.

 

 

No Gas
Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2008

Gas stations are dry for more than a hundred miles east of Central Oregon.
- by Julia Gray

The high price of gas is affecting the gas stations between Bend and Burns. So much so, that none are selling gas at this point. ODOT warns that you should fill up before heading east on Highway 20. Also, make sure you have emergency supplies in your car in case you do run out of gas, as ODOT will only be able to rescue a limited amount of motorists over the holiday weekend.

Getting a handle on area fires
Posted on Wednesday, July 02, 2008

Firefighters have contained most of the recent fires at an acre or less.
- by Steve Coffee

Fire fighters are doing "really well" in the Central Oregon District with most of the recent lightning-sparked fires now contained at an acre or less. The exceptions are the Jack Knife Fire, some 10 miles southeast of Grass Valley at aproximately 8,000 acres, The Murderer's Creek Fire, about 10 miles south of Dayville, at aproximately 1500 acres and Incident 234 two miles southwest of Maupin at around 600 acres. With the Fourth of July Holiday Weekend coming up Lisa Clark of Central Oregon Dispatch reminds those recreating in the area forests to be extremely cautious with fire and stresses that fireworks of any kind are prohibited anywhere federal forest lands.

 

Cottage Home Ordinance
Posted on Wednesday, July 02, 2008

The Bend City Council passes an ordinance designed to create affordable housing in park-like settings.
- by Julia Gray

The Bend City Council unanimously adopts language for a Cottage Home Ordinance to be added to the City Code. The code allows for smaller, affordable housing communities that would have a more “park-like” setting. Councilors say that the new ordinance will stimulate building in the City, and make homes more affordable to many. The council is supplying staff to help the ordinance get though the proper channels, so it can be implemented sooner rather than later.
