Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Tuesday, February 11, 2025. We're starting off the day with some updates from around the region. First off, let's talk about the recent incident in Redmond where a dump truck crashed into a building. On February 2, 2025, the Redmond Police Department and Redmond Fire and Rescue responded to a 9-1-1 call after a dump truck crashed through the Redmond Family Dental building at 668 SW Rimrock Way. The building sustained significant damage but was unoccupied at the time of the crash, and no known injuries were reported. The driver of the dump truck fled the scene, and officers are still searching for the suspect. If you have any information, please contact the non-emergency dispatch at 541-693-6911.In other news, if you're looking for something fun to do this week, Bend has plenty of events lined up. This Friday, February 14, is Valentine's Day, and there are several activities planned around town. You can join the Valentine's Night Out at Impulse Elite, where kids can enjoy games and pizza while you have a romantic evening. There's also a 'Lady and the Tramp' Valentine's Dinner and a Galentine's Day event at SCP Redmond, where you can enjoy hands-on lessons in watercolor, heat embossing, and hand lettering.For those who love the outdoors, Wanderlust Tours is offering a Crater Lake National Park Snowshoe Adventure on February 15 and a Forage to Table: Guided Foraging & 4-Course Dinner on May 17. If you're interested in wildlife photography, there's a Wildlife Photography Walk along the Deschutes River Trail where you can learn about composition, lighting, and capturing elusive wildlife moments.In local arts, BEAT Children's Theatre is presenting their Winter musical, Finding Nemo JR, with performances on February 7 and 8.

They'll be hiding special tags around Bend during the first two weeks of February, and you can bring these tags in to receive a free limited edition glass heart.On a more serious note, the Oregon Health Authority is recognizing National Radon Action Month by encouraging people to test their homes for radon and, if necessary, hire a professional to reduce the radon levels. This is especially important after Clare Lewis, a 67-year-old resident of The Dalles, shared her story of how radon caused her lung cancer.Finally, if you're planning to travel, be aware that I-84 eastbound remains closed between Exit 304 in Baker City and Exit 374 in Ontario due to a crash. Crews are working to remove the truck from the guardrail and clean up diesel, so expect delays and winter travel conditions.This has been Bend Local Frequency.
