A local effort to buy Mt. Bachelor
A group of community members are looking to create a local effort to purchase Mt. Bachelor. On Aug. 22, POWDR Corporation, the current owners of Mt. Bachelor and several other ski resorts across the county, announced it will sell the resort.
Central Oregon Daily reported Aug. 28 that locals are looking at ways to buy and operate Mt. Bachelor. Residents Dan Cochrane and Chris Porter organized a meeting with interested parties last week to talk about next steps. The first step, they told CO Daily, is a feasibility study to look at the numbers. After CO Daily reported the story, the group stated it received over 1,000 emails from people about their efforts.

Free Breast Cancer Screening
The St. Charles Cancer Center in Bend is hosting a free high-risk breast cancer screening event on Sept. 12. The new event, which will go from 4 to 6:30pm, aims to help up to 150 women identify whether they have an elevated risk of developing breast cancer. The drop-in event is open to women age 25 to 55.
“Our hope with this clinic is to bring awareness and understanding to women about their breast cancer risk,” said Jessica Keegan, cancer screening coordinator for the High-Risk Breast Clinic. “It’s important for women to know their risk and the resources available to increase surveillance and reduce that risk. Knowing your risk empowers women to make the right health care choices for themselves.”
