Counting Life’s Flowering Treasures
Bill Kuhn, who lives among the sagebrush, juniper and mariposa lilies, is somewhat like me: a worrywart. Every time he and I sit by the fire we get to chinwaggin’ about what’s going to happen to the juniper, sagebrush and wildflowers—that are the love of our lives—after we go out among the stars. Kuhn’s also…

A stretch of the Deschutes River between Sunriver and La Pine State Park has long had shooting restrictions in place, closing hunting along the waterway that zig-zags through federal lands and housing communities.

I Second That Emoticon & Pretender Mercies
I Second That Emoticon I know some men refuse to use emojis because they think they’re silly or cheesy. But I have to say, when men use emojis, they make me feel good. Is it crazy that a heart or a rose emoji makes me feel like a man’s more interested? —Wondering It’s easy to…
Festivals Under Fire
Bend City Council members early this month shied away from limiting downtown events, a move that downtown business owners have sought in order to lessen impacts they say result from festivals and parades—including trash, noise and decreased sales. But at a Sept. 4 City Council meeting, councilors agreed to form a subcommittee to review the…
In Celebration of the Rural Artist
Walking into the storefront of Central Oregon’s newest arts co-working space, Rick Steber & Company-Makers, one is struck by its genuine, cowboy feel.

With an aesthetic dubbed, ‘industrial cowboy chic,’ work on display from 30-plus rural Oregon artists…
E-Bikes on Trails: Expect Confusion Ahead
The last time you hiked or biked on a trail you didn’t know so well, did you take note of the land management agency in charge of it? If you’re like a lot of people, you probably didn’t. Even if that trail required a day permit or some type of parking pass, you may have…

One Man’s Trash…
“I grabbed this baby head… not a real one!” says Kea Eubank as we stand at the edge of the water in Pioneer Park. Apparently that’s just how it goes when you dive under the Deschutes River; you never know what you’re going to get. Hell, the trio called @lootthedeschutes on Instagram found an actual gun…

IT Kinda Sucks
Don’t get me wrong; most filmmakers balance along the knife’s edge of borrowing and stealing. Stealing from the best has resulted in some of the most inspired movies ever made. We’d never have “Tree of Life” without “2001: A Space Odyssey” or “Joker” without “The King of Comedy.” But writer Gary Dauberman and director Andy…

Free Will Astrology—Week of September 12
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Novelist Wallace Stegner wrote, “Some are born in their place, some find it, some realize after long searching that the place they left is the one they have been searching for.” I hope that in the last nine months, Virgo, you have resolved which of those three options is true for…
