Good morning, Bend.
🏘️ Community
Central Oregonians are setting New Year resolutions aimed at balancing tighter budgets with better health as inflation pushes many to save more and spend wisely.
Bend locals say getting outdoors and returning to past favorites, like running on local trails, is key to moving forward.
🎭 Culture
A new short documentary explores Bend’s architecture by featuring local architects (John Brockway, Alex Collins, Thomas Fagan, and Al Tozer) as they discuss styles, history, and future urban design for more affordable living.
Released on Sunday, Jan. 4, the film is produced by Milan Anderson with Jody Lawrence-Turner as executive producer.
Residents saw the year's full moon (Wolf Moon) light the High Desert skies on Saturday night from Bend to La Pine to Prineville.
The supermoon appeared about 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter, peaking at 2 a.m.
📰 Lifestyle
Many Central Oregonians are setting realistic New Year’s goals — like walking 20 minutes a day or saving $50 per paycheck — to boost fitness, cut spending, and reduce stress.
KTVZ’s Claire Elmer will share local tips for success on tonight’s news at 6:00 p.m.
🏈 Sports
Mt. Bachelor saw 6 inches of snow last night, and forecasts call for over a foot by Thursday.
Skiers and snowboarders are urged to use open, groomed trails (weekend events including the Women of the Snow Camp were postponed) for safety.
