Current facility functionally and technologically obsolete ; councilors also discuss possible fixed-route transit
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) During Tuesday evening s Redmond city council workshop, the Redmond Police Department presented future expansion plans for a new facility.
Captain Devin Lewis says they want the community to view the new space as more than just a police station, but a public safety building that can address issues outside of crime, such as mental health crises.
Lewis says there are a wide variety of infrastructural issues that include limited parking, HVAC problems, plumbing backups, little room for evidence storage and an inability to separate victims and suspects in their current lobby.
Saving Grace: COVID-19, domestic violence a dangerous combination
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) During the early days of COVID-19, families found themselves under a “stay at home” order. This meant parents and children who before had lived like ships passing in the night were suddenly all together in a very tight port.
For some families, it was an opportunity to connect and identify healthy activities to share together; for others, it became a nightmare of violence and distress that would go on to cause trauma, injury, and death.
“Isolation and desperation are key contributors to the increase in domestic violence we have seen in Central Oregon. Not only have we seen an increase in the number of calls, but in the severity of violence,” says Cassi MacQueen, executive director of Saving Grace.
We always knew this event would be ambitious. It s the culmination of a lot of things writer Donny Cates and artist Ryan Stegman have been building in the pages of
Venom, and it s the book that promises to bring the struggle against Knull the Godking of Symbiotes, right to the front door of planet Earth. The event s first issue definitely didn t disappoint in that regard, delivering a massive opening volley that featured Knull wrapping the
entire planet in symbiote material to blot out the sun, and if not killing various Avengers and X-Men, then at least converting their bodies to his cause for the time being.
