Editor’s note: The first few freezing nights this past week brought the point home: Ski and snowboard season is right around the corner. After a summer of smoke and fires, I’ll go out on a limb and say even the most Scroogy winter-hater is a little less miffed about the cooler weather this year. This […]
Editor’s note: Many have posited that one of the benefits to seeing increased access and interest in public lands is that it translates into more care and concern for those lands. If that’s true, then wouldn’t it follow that the care and concern should be manifested in reducing the activities that negatively impact those lands? […]
Editor’s note: The first few days of October are bringing plenty of fall cheer to the streets of both Bend and Sisters, with both Bend’s Fall Festival and the Sisters Folk Festival back on the docket this year. Seeing live music in the streets is one way to spark the joy that so many of […]
Editor’s note: This week’s cover image is what is commonly referred to as a “ghost bike.” Drawn by our graphic designer Erica Durtschi, it was the image that came to mind most readily when we were discussing our coverage of the Safe Streets Summit happening this coming week. Too many cyclists and pedestrians are hit […]
Editor’s note: When times are tough and the days are long, our precious pets are always there for us. Twice a year, our pet-loving team at the Source Weekly dedicates our issue to all things pets—and that time is now! Check out the stories starting after page 16, including a look at the fate of […]
Editor’s note: This week’s feature story highlighting the story of a Sept. 11 survivor was a collaborative effort on the part of a number of people from the Source Weekly team. Occasional contributor in the Outside section, Linda English (aka Gravel Girl) introduced us to Chuck Allen, her friend and a somewhat recent transplant who […]
Editor’s note: Long, long ago, before my time as editor of this fine publication, some smart minds saw the writing on the wall and knew that Bend was fast becoming a micro-brew darling. Boom, our beer column was born. Where we once called the column “Micro,” the proliferation of the term “craft” to signify everything […]
Editor’s note: Masks are back, indoors and out. Vaccinations are becoming required in a number of settings. The National Guard arrived at our local hospital this week. Local vets are weighing in about their time in Afghanistan as they see refugees clamor to get out. Anything else big happen this week? Some of those topics […]
Editor’s note: When we conceived the theme for this year’s Best of Central Oregon issue—crafted by the ever-talented graphic designer Euiijin Gray—we were hoping to be in a moment of triumph, in a time when society had beaten this virus and we could give one big thank-you to the heroes who helped us through it. […]
Editor’s note: I feel like I’ve said, “just before this issue went to press” a lot recently—probably due to the fact that the governor and state agencies have seemed to enjoy issuing statements late in the afternoon all throughout the pandemic, and also due to the fact that we’re a weekly paper with just one […]
