SUMMARY:WaterWise Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Resource Stewardship Through Landscape Water Efficiency\nThe majority of all residential water use within the City of Bend’s service area is used for landscape irrigation. That translates to roughly 60% of the average water use on a monthly bill! How much of that water actually benefits the landscape? How do we know we’re irrigating efficiently? What can we do to reduce the amount of water we use in the landscape? Join us as three Central Oregon horticulture experts present their views on water resource stewardship through proper soil management\, irrigation and design. \nLearn more on the Water Wise Series flyer. Registration is required. \nEvent will be held at COCC – Health Careers Center Room 330.

SUMMARY:Bend Transportation Forum
DESCRIPTION:With an estimated 30\,000 more people—and their cars—moving to Bend in the next 10 years\, we have to find better ways to get around. Already traffic is jamming up busy intersections for blocks and with little funding for roads\, experts expect back-ups that could stretch for miles in sections of the city during peak traffic times. \nWe know we don’t want congestion\, pollution\, or to spend our time stuck in traffic\, but these concerns may become our reality if we don’t plan well. So what is our collective transportation vision? Better public transit? More bike paths and sidewalks? Wider roads? And most importantly: How will we pay for it? \nBend 2030 wants your help as we tackle the transportation issue at a free public forum from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday\, April 11\, at Ponderosa Elementary School. This interactive event is part of the Bend 2030 Livability Series\, which brings our community together to find solutions to our most important issues. Seniors\, students\, bike riders\, daily commuters\, families and everyone else is invited to join us as we shape Bend’s future together. \nAttendees of the April 11 forum will get a firsthand look at just how much our city is poised to grow in the coming years. They’ll hear about possible solutions to alleviating traffic concerns and the options for funding those solutions such as a gas tax\, utility fee and transit-funding district. Most importantly\, attendees will have a say in Bend 2030’s recommendations to decision-makers on the right way to move ahead on our transportation issues.

SUMMARY:Bend Salmon Run
DESCRIPTION:Kick off the 2015 race season with a true Bend tradition. One of the first half marathons of the year in the Northwest\, it has long been central to the local racing scene.

The Salmon juxtapose the infinite space of their ocean homes against the micro-streams of their birth in one monumental run. Their achievement is awesome in the true sense of the word. \nChoose your own migratory distance –5K\, 10K or Half Marathon \nBegin and end your adventure at Riverbend Park and imagine what a river journey could be like for the mighty salmon. The backdrop couldn’t be more beautiful than the Deschutes River corridor in beautiful Bend\, Oregon.
