    Smithsonian Director Faces Capitol Hill | Bend News

    Smithsonian’s top historian faces Capitol Hill scrutiny as she prepares to testify before two House committees amid a White House backlash over the museum’s historical exhibits. Accused of promoting “extreme political activism” and a “radical view of American history,” the museum defends its mission to tell the full, complex story of America — a stance the White House dismisses as ideologically biased. This marks the first time a Smithsonian official publicly appears before Congress since Trump’s 2023 executive order targeting “improper ideology” in federal cultural institutions. The clash underscores a growing national debate over how history should be taught and who gets to define it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    D4vd Faces Murder Trial in LA | Bend News

    D4vd, the rising artist David Burke, faces a harrowing preliminary hearing in LA where prosecutors allege he murdered 13-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez in a chilling act of revenge after she threatened to expose their underage relationship. Charged with first-degree murder, child sexual abuse, and mutilation, the case centers on a gruesome scene: D4vd allegedly stabbed Celeste, ordered chainsaws online, and severed her fingers—including one with his name tattooed—before hiding her remains in the trunk of his Tesla. Found four months later, the evidence could seal his fate, though his defense vows to prove his innocence as the trial looms.

    Legionnaires' Outbreak in NYC | Bend News

    Legionnaires’ disease is spreading in NYC’s Upper East Side, with 76 confirmed cases, 4 deaths, and 7 still hospitalized — but 53 have recovered. Symptoms can appear up to 14 days after exposure, so if you’ve been in zip codes 10028, 10075, or 10128 and feel sick, get checked. Caused by inhaling Legionella bacteria from water systems like cooling towers (not person-to-person), officials say the source is likely contained and home plumbing is safe. While most recover with antibiotics, it’s especially dangerous for those with compromised immune systems or lung conditions — and cases have been rising nationally over the past decade.

    Heat and Smoke Safety Rules | Bend News

    Oregon OSHA is sounding the alarm for employers: when heat index hits 80°F, it’s time to act—water, shade, acclimatization, and emergency plans are mandatory. Over 90°F? Expect even stricter protections that apply to all workplaces, including housing. Wildfire smoke? High PM2.5 levels demand air quality checks, worker training, and protective gear. Oregon OSHA isn’t just enforcing rules—they’re offering free, confidential consultation and expert support to help businesses comply. The bottom line: employers must provide safe conditions, and workers deserve to expect them—whether it’s heat or haze.
