Con Juan Lately, women’s magazines keep mentioning “sociopaths.” What is a sociopath? From what I’ve read, it seems like both my exes were sociopaths. How do I avoid attracting others? —Wary Woman When a guy asks you on a date, it would be great if you could check him out on LinkedIn and be all, […]
The pandemic made working from home while caring for small children all too real for many parents. Growing a career alongside the kids is at times impossibly difficult, positively hilarious and just rewarding enough to keep anyone from walking out on the job. Are you a parent immersed in the double-duty of working alongside your […]
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.

An air quality alert from the National Weather Service expired at noon on Monday, bringing an end to a hazy weekend of unhealthy air quality in Central Oregon.

While the boot and slipper are only occasional visitors on this page nowadays, it seemed fitting to dust them off as […]
Drop Dud, Gorgeous I typically avoid conflict to keep from having ugly conversations. I’m in an unhappy relationship, and it’s clearly not fixable. I always rely on the other person to end a relationship, even when it’s making me really miserable. Why do I do this, and how do I change? —Stuck Girl Note that […]
Plastered to a sheer rock face, hundreds of feet above the ground, gripping tiny holds with her fingers and standing on dime-width edges, Jules Jimreivat surveys the current landscape, her only safety being a 9-millimeter-thick climbing rope connected to her waist harness, and her skill and mental toughness developed through years of climbing. Like a […]
Editor’s note: At the start of the pandemic, the over-arching message shared by everyone from neighbors to government agencies was, “We’re all in this together.” Keep Calm and Carry On, a popular British slogan during WWII, was trotted out once again, in hopes of staving off panic. Those messages of solidarity and unity slowly went […]
Pioneer nurseryman John Chapman (1774-1845) might be buried in the duff of history if he wasn’t better known as Johnny Appleseed. Best remembered for his planting of wild apple trees wherever he traveled, Worthy Garden Club, the philanthropic arm of Worthy Brewing, has invoked Johnny’s folklore to seed Operation Appleseed by pledging $1 million toward […]
