The Bend City Council hammered through a relatively full docket at its last meeting. Of interest was the narrow passage of a new ordinance that bans all outdoor yard waste burning – and not so much for its policy implications, but for the fact that it showed the council could, at least on one occasion, swing against its conservative majority. In this case Mayor Kathie Eckman, former mayor and councilor Oran Teater and freshman councilor Jeff Eager, all of whom have solid conservative credentials, opposed the burn ban.

Back From Phishin’
The Blender, along with several other Bendites, have safely returned from the Gorge Amphitheater where we took in not one but two glorious days of music from Phish.
We may not be Phish experts, per say, but we think this pair of weekend shows were right up there with the best the band has played — especially Saturday night’s show.

We Should Watch the “Breakfast Club” or something, right?
As you probably know by now, legendary comedy writer and director John Hughes passed away today in New York City. If you're not sure if you've ever seen a Hughes film before, well, stop thinking because you almost certainly have.
