And while we're still contending with weather roulette, we have something worth getting excited about – fiddlehead ferns and asparagus.
We're just on the cusp of a very short-lived fiddlehead season, and if you want to take advantage of these tender lovelies you'll have to act fast. Named for their violin scroll shape, fiddleheads are a fern's new growth. In the Pacific Northwest, the fern of choice is the lady fern. On the East coast, the ostrich fern reigns.

Family Feud: Telfer-Knopp primary could tell us how far is too far for local GOP

The fight for the local and Oregon ballots.

Eric FlowersApril 18, 2012September 21, 2024

Signs of unrest within the Senate District 27 started to appear as early as mid-February, before the legislature had wrapped it's inaugural interim session.
Bend Republican Chris Telfer, a former city council member and one-time candidate for Oregon treasurer, got the first inkling of the coming political storm from a colleague who had just gotten off the phone with a representative from a polling firm. The pollster wanted to know how the legislator felt about the possibility of Tim Knopp challenging Telfer in the May primary.
It was disquieting news for Telfer, a fiscally conservative Republican who was coming off a successful legislative session that saw some of her high priority jobs and economic development bills passed.

Alison Krauss and Union Station

Alison Krauss, winner of 26 Grammy Awards is coming to Bend on July 9 and she is bringing Union Station

Saturday, July 9, 6:30pm – $62/reserved, $39/gemeral admission
You might have heard of Alison Krauss. After all, she has won 26 Grammy Awards. Yes, that's 2-6. That's approximately 1.8 Grammy's per album (she's released 14), making her the most-awarded female artist in Grammy history. In addition, she's been named “The most promising fiddler by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America” and has written music for movie soundtracks, most notably O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Cold Mountain. Not that bad for someone who isn't yet 40 years old.Krauss, originally from Decatur, Ill., began her career a bluegrass wunderkind, signing with Rounder Records at the age of 14. Krauss's silky smooth voice and effortless fiddle playing has garnered her millions of loyal followers and her fresh-faced, Claire Danes-esque looks don't hurt her substantial male fan base, either.
