Why do some students sit and do “nothing” when we give them plenty of time to work, and why does “just get to work” rarely change anything? In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper talks with executive function coach Carrie Bonnett about task initiation as a teachable brain based skill rather than a character flaw. Drawing on her years as a middle and high school teacher and her current coaching practice with students, families, and schools, Carrie explains how to reframe “procrastination,” “laziness,” and “defiance” as executive function challenges that show up when tasks feel boring, overwhelming, or too big.​ Carrie shares practical strategies from her free Task Initiation Toolkit, including chunking work by task and by time, using timers as “dopamine tools,” and making the invisible visible with clear routines and visual cues so the environment does more of the prompting than the adult. She also offers concrete language shifts educators can use, such as moving from “You are lazy” to “Your brain struggles with getting started,” and shows how small changes in how we talk about brains, motivation, and “stuckness” can transform classroom culture, family dynamics, and student confidence. About Carrie Bonnett Carrie Bonnett is a veteran teacher, lifelong list-maker, and Executive Function coach based in Bend, Oregon. She works with students and families around the country using a practical, no-shame, brain-first approach that empowers students to thrive, helps parents and teachers better support them, and gives adults tools to stay on top of all that life requires.

First Grizzly Bear of 2026 Spotted in Yellowstone National Park On March 9, Yellowstone biologists working in the northern part of the park reported seeing the first grizzly bear of the spring season. The bear was observed in the backcountry scavenging on a bull bison carcass. The first reported grizzly bear sighting of 2025 occurred on March 14. In 2024, it occurred on March 3, and in 2022 and 2023, March 7. When bears emerge from hibernation, they look for food and often feed on elk and bison that died over the winter. Bears may react aggressively to encounters with people when feeding on carcasses. Male grizzlies come out of hibernation in early March. Females with cubs emerge in April and early May. All of Yellowstone is grizzly and black bear country: from the deepest backcountry to the boardwalks and parking lots around Old Faithful. Protect yourself and bears by following our safety guidelines: Prepare for a bear encounter by carrying bear spray, knowing how to use it and making sure it's accessible. Stay alert. Hike or ski in groups of three or more, stay on maintained trails and make noise. Avoid hiking at dusk, dawn or at night. Do not run if you encounter a bear. Stay 100 yards (91 m) away from black and grizzly bears. Approaching bears within 100 yards is prohibited. Use binoculars, a telescope or telephoto lens to get a closer look. Store food, garbage, barbecue grills and other attractants in hard-sided vehicles or bear-proof food storage boxes. Report bear sightings and encounters to a park ranger immediately.

Officials with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department say Curtis Lee Daniels entered a Largemouth Bass in a tournament at Lake Fork that was later found to contain three three-quarter-ounce fishing weights inside its stomach. According to an affidavit obtained by KLTV, investigators also reported finding the same type of weights in Daniels' boat. The fishing tournament offered an overall prize of 11-thousand, five-hundred dollars. Daniels was arrested Sunday and booked into the Wood County Jail. He is being held on a 20-thousand-dollar bond on a charge of violating a fishing tournament law, which is considered a third-degree felony in Texas. If convicted, Daniels could face up to ten years in prison and fines of up to ten thousand dollars. Officials say other possible penalties include losing his fishing license and paying civil restitution.

The disqualifications happened during the 2026 Camel Beauty Show Festival in Oman. Veterinary inspectors found evidence that some camels had been given cosmetic injections and other enhancements. According to reports from Vice Media and Forbes, the procedures included hyaluronic acid injections in the lips, dermal fillers, silicone around the nose, Botox to soften facial features, and silicone wax used to inflate the animals' humps. Those treatments violate competition rules, which require that camels be judged only on their natural physical traits. Camel beauty contests are popular across the Gulf region, where prized animals compete for prestige and sometimes large prize money. Judges typically evaluate features like the camel's  coat, neck, head, and hump—traits meant to reflect selective breeding rather than cosmetic enhancement. Organizers, including the Camel Club and the Oman Camel Racing Federation, say they're committed to preventing manipulation in the competitions and plan to enforce strict penalties for breeders who break the rules. The incident has also renewed debate about how far some competitors are willing to go in pursuit of victory—especially when a camel looks, as officials put it, “too good to be true.” Reference: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2026/03/06/camels-disqualified-beauty-pageant-cosmetic-injections-oman/89023631007/ OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

The Road Is Made By Walking, with Rev. Dr. Ken Hood. Series: Life as Pilgrimage, Lent 2026 A Spacious Christianity, First Presbyterian Church of Bend, Oregon. Scripture: Matthew 3.They didn't have a roadmap, an itinerary. There is no such thing.As much as we'd like to think there's a certain way life should be…there just isn't. As painful as it is to lose a child, it's even more painful when we tell ourselves a story like: “This shouldn't happen. A parent should never have to bury their child. It's not fair.” Well… It's not something we choose. It's not something welcome. But it also happens. All the time. There is no “this isn't the way the world should be”…for there's no such thing. This is frightening but liberating as well.Equanimity is the practice of allowing what is…simply because it's what's here. We are almost always subtly resisting what's happening around us. We wish we felt different or that the world was different, and we push against it inwardly or are pulling towards the world being some other way. But what's here is what's here. This isn't a giving up. This is an acceptance such that, facing what is, we can finally decide how to be and how to act.Machado's personal story is really challenging. He and his brother had it all in Spain until the revolution came, and they lost everything. So not fair. But it's what was. They struck out, penniless, and having to find their own way. There is no way, the road is made by walking…About the Series, Life as Pilgrimage, Lent 2026: Our sacred stories are filled with journeys from the familiar into the unknown. This season invites us to become pilgrims, open to being changed along the way. Through shared workshops, contemplative practices, creative expression, and time on the trail, we will make space to listen deeply and be gently transformed by the spacious love of God.Join us each Sunday, 10AM at bendfp.org, or 11AM KTVZ-CW Channel 612/12 in Bend.  Subscribe/Follow, and click the bell for alerts.At First Presbyterian, you will meet people at many different places theologically and spiritually.

Assembling the "Engine" in Canine Structure Veteran breeder and judge Stephanie Seabrook Hedgepath joins host Laura Reeves to break down the dog's "engine" -- rear construction from croup anatomy and tail set to hock length and bend of stifle — helping breeders and judges understand how structure drives movement and longevity. The entire rear assembly in a dog is the engine that propels it forward. Stephanie and Laura unpack the anatomy and biomechanics behind a correct rear assembly, why balance matters more than any single piece, and how faults in the rear (or the front) can break a working dog down over time. The Rear as the Engine Stephanie describes the rear as a pole vault mechanism, driving the dog over its front assembly. The pelvis, sacral vertebrae (three fused bones), and hip joints form a solid, interconnected unit — and understanding how they work together is key to evaluating any breed. Croup Angle and Tail Set The croup's angle determines tail set and follow-through. A steep croup lets a dog reach far under itself but limits follow-through — the dog picks its foot back up instead of pushing off completely. A high tail set (Stephanie's memorable test: can you see the dog's anus from behind?) produces a tail that curls over the back and signals a structural problem, not just a cosmetic one. Hock Length: Short Isn't Always Better Not every breed needs a short hock. Whippets need length to generate speed. Corgis need enough leg to cover ground. The right hock length always comes back to the question: can this dog do the job it was bred to do? Bend of Stifle and Sickle Hock Too much bend in the stifle often produces an overly long rear pastern and a sickle hock — the dog can't stand square and loses its ability to push off effectively. Handlers may be able to mask it on the stack, but the dog's movement tells the truth. Why Balance Is Everything A dog that is straight both front and rear tires quickly but stays sound. A dog with a strong rear and a straight front is the most problematic combination — the front, held together only by muscle and ligament, will break down under the stress the rear generates. Movement is the proof of structure, and slowing a dog down in the ring often reveals problems that a fast gait conceals. Breadth, Loin and Feet Stephanie and Laura also cover the importance of croup width (muscling and power), loin strength and length, and breed-appropriate feet — reminding listeners that every element of the standard exists because it helped a dog perform its original function.

Hi Mamas, In today's episode, I'm breaking down what this quote means for busy working moms who are juggling careers, families, responsibilities, and the constant pressure to do it all. “The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.” — Robert Jordan Because somewhere along the way, many of us learned that being strong meant never bending. But real life doesn't work that way. Life brings storms. Sometimes those storms look like stress at work. Sometimes they look like unexpected life events. Sometimes they look like seasons where everything just feels heavier than usual. And when that happens, the strongest thing we can do isn't always pushing harder. Sometimes the strongest thing we can do is bend… adapt… and protect our energy so we don't break. Because bending doesn't mean you're failing. Sometimes bending is exactly what allows you to keep going.   ✨This Week's Monday Mindset Challenge✨ Take a moment this week and ask yourself: Where am I trying to be the oak… when I might need to be the willow? Is there an area of your life where you're pushing too hard? Where slowing down, adjusting expectations, or setting a boundary might actually help you protect your energy? You don't have to power through every storm. Sometimes bending is exactly what allows you to survive it.

In this week's Monday Market Data Report, Mark Lumpkin breaks down the short-term rental amenity data for Bend, a popular mountain destination known for skiing, outdoor recreation, breweries, and year-round tourism.Using data from STR Search, this episode looks at which amenities top-performing properties are using to outperform their competition—and how much additional revenue those features can generate.Here's what the data shows in Bend:• Hot Tubs (59%) → +$16,834/year • Fire Pits (34%) → +$2,276/year • Home Gyms (11%) → +$8,004/year • Saunas (6%) → +$8,839/yearThe biggest takeaway? Bend is still lightly amenitized compared to many other STR markets.Some amenities—like pickleball courts and game rooms—are so rare they barely show up in the data, meaning investors who add them could dramatically differentiate their properties.If you're investing in Bend or considering a mountain market, this episode breaks down the amenities that can give your property a competitive edge.Need help finding the right property?

Are you exhausted by your child's public meltdowns, your teenager's attitude, or your partner's sudden bad moods? What if I told you that their behavior has absolutely nothing to do with you?In this episode of the PAWsitive Choices Podcast, we're exploring the brain science and psychology behind why we get so triggered by other people's overflow. We are learning how to Q-TIP (Quit Taking It Personally) so we can stop reacting to the person and start responding to the underlying need.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15, Paul describes how the church should function as the family of God, calling us to admonish one another, encourage the discouraged, help the weak, practice patient endurance with each other, and refuse to retaliate when wronged. Instead, we are to pursue good toward everyone, reflecting the patience and mercy God has shown us in Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Do you own or enjoy ATVs, UTVs, and off-road motorcycles? Tune in for a discussion regarding how one US county is debating the ban of these Off-road Highway Vehicles from county road ditches, citing safety risks and property damage. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Why Is Ditch Riding So Controversial? The legality of driving ATVs, UTVs, and off-road motorcycles in county road ditches is a highly debated rural policy issue today. While these vehicles are generally prohibited from paved roads, ditch riding laws vary widely by township, county, and state. At the heart of the debate are concerns about safety, property rights, environmental impact, noise and economic effects. Safety Concerns OHVs such as ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes are designed for off-road terrain—not public right-of-ways. Critics argue that: Many OHVs lack standard roadway safety features. Their high center of gravity increases rollover risk. Riders may lose control on uneven ditch terrain. Proximity to vehicle traffic creates collision risks. Property and Environmental Damage Another major issue involves landowner responsibility and infrastructure damage. Ditch riding can: Create ruts and soil erosion Destroy landscaping Damage public right-of-way infrastructure Increase noise complaints Under North Dakota Century Code 63-05-01, adjoining landowners are responsible for cutting weeds and grasses along regularly traveled county and township highways—including vegetation within the public right-of-way. If OHVs damage those areas, landowners may still be legally obligated to maintain them, increasing frustration and cost among property owners. Economic and Community Impact Because laws vary significantly: Check Local Ordinances: Regulations differ by town, county, and state—and can change quickly. Use Designated Trails Only: Riding is typically restricted to clearly marked and approved areas. Understand Age Requirements: Youth operators must meet state licensing or certification requirements. A Decision That Impacts the Future of Rural Communities The debate over ditch riding isn't just about recreation—it's about balancing safety, property rights, environmental stewardship, and economic vitality. As county commissioners and townships consider whether to ban or strictly regulate OHVs in road ditches, the outcome could set a precedent for how rural communities manage off-road recreation in the years ahead.

Some people have begun to refer to Dr. Eric Nicols as “The Rural School Leader,” and no wonder. Dr. Nichols has dedicated his career to championing the students and communities of rural Eastern Oregon. Serving as both Principal and Head Boys’ Basketball Coach at Crane Union High School, one of the nation’s last public boarding schools, he has embraced the multifaceted leadership required in isolated educational environments. Driven by his own small-town upbringing, Dr. Nichols has not only led his basketball team to four consecutive state championships, forging deep community bonds, but has also significantly enhanced academic offerings through expanded Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. A passionate advocate who understands that rural schools are the “hubs” of their communities, he co-founded “Wide Open Spaces,” a professional network to combat the isolation of rural educators, embodying his mission to ensure these vital institutions receive the recognition and resources necessary to thrive. This episode of Principal Matters Podcast features Dr. Jen Schwanke in conversation with Dr. Eric Nichols, who is celebrated as a champion for students and educators in rural communities. Jen met when Dr. Nichols invited her to present at a 2-day rural conference in beautiful Bend, Oregon, an event he co-founded to connect educators across the state. Dr. Nichols currently serves as the principal and head boys basketball coach at Crane Union High School, where he advocates for the belief that the school is the primary hub of its small town community. During their discussion, Dr. Nichols recounts his path to rural leadership, the unique structure of his public boarding school, the origin of his networking initiative for isolated educators, and the importance of fostering deep community connections. He emphasizes that moving to rural life was a choice he made, noting that “rural isn’t something that happens to you. It’s something you get to be a part of.” You can find Dr. Nichols on X and Instagram at @iamericnichols. You can also find him on LinkedIn. Learn a bit more about Dr. Nichols in this feature article.

La Pine Library is hosting a free event this Saturday, “Not Your Mama’s Cheddar,” as part of Deschutes Public Library's monthlong exploration of fermentation, decay and rot. Teri Tith is leading Saturday’s event, drawing on her extensive knowledge about cheese and years of experience working as a cheesemonger at Market of Choice in Bend to help educate the public about this delicacy, including cheddar, her personal favorite.    But to say Tith is a cheese expert is an understatement. She’s a Certified Cheese Professional, which she was awarded in 2023 by the American Cheese Society. Tith earned that distinction by working more than 4,000 hours in the cheese industry, and she also had to pass an exam testing her knowledge on the production, distribution and science of cheese.    Tith also holds a Level 3 certification in wine from the Wine and Spirits Educational Trust, which she says has helped inform the kinds of wines she selects for wine and cheese pairing events at tasting rooms in Bend. While most people know about the natural pairing of cheese and wine, most don’t know about the pairing possibilities of cheese and sake, an alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. Last autumn, Tith offered cheese and sake pairing classes and is now pursuing a Level 2 certification to boost her knowledge of this traditional Japanese beverage.    Tith joins us to share more details and insights into artisanal cheeses made in Oregon and beyond.  

The world keeps redefining truth; but that struggle isn't new. Since the garden of Eden, humanity is continually tempted to question God's Word and follow self instead. While this path promises fulfillment, it always brings coldness and chaos. Yet God's truth will always remain steady, rooted, and unshakable, offering strength and clarity for all who cling to His Word.   Have Any Questions for Our Upcoming Q & A?

Why do most routines fail? It's not because you lack discipline. It's not because you're lazy. And it's definitely not because you “can't stick with anything.” Most routines fail because they were built for ideal conditions — not real life. In this episode, we talk about why so many home routines, fitness routines, and productivity systems collapse the moment life shifts — and how to build rhythms that bend instead of break. If you've ever searched: “How to stay consistent with workouts” “Why can't I stick to a routine?” “How to create a morning routine as a busy mom” “Christian productivity tips” “How to reduce mental load in motherhood” “Family systems that actually work” “How to stop falling off the wagon” “Sustainable fitness routine for moms” This conversation will hit home. You'll learn: Why routines built for full energy and zero interruptions are fragile The difference between rigid systems and flexible rhythms How decision fatigue quietly sabotages consistency Practical ways to reduce mental overload in motherhood Why small, boring faithfulness builds long-term strength How to stop copying Instagram systems and ask, “Lord, what do we need?” We also talk about real-life examples from our home: Morning routine cards for kids Shared household ownership Assigned laundry days Rotating responsibilities during homeschool Adjusting rhythms when life shifts This episode reframes consistency as quiet repetition — not dramatic motivation. Consistency isn't trained in loud, exciting moments. It's built in small, repetitive, everyday faithfulness. You'll also hear why bending doesn't mean abandoning the rhythm — it means adjusting without spiraling. That's maturity. That's wisdom. That's how routines survive real life. If your routines only work when you're at full capacity, they're not rhythms — they're liabilities. And if consistency has felt impossible, it's not because you're failing. It's because you need structure that adapts to your life. Inside this episode, we also connect this principle to fitness — how strength training, scalable workouts, and flexible programming allow you to keep going without “starting over” every time life changes. If you want routines that support: Weight loss without obsession Strength training that adapts to energy Sustainable health habits Faith-based fitness Mental clarity and reduced overwhelm Rhythms that align with your family mission This episode is for you.

Logan Paul winning just to spite us Pat McAfee possibly becoming the next Stallone (yes, really) Mayweather, Pacquiao, and the battle of “why?” Jennifer Coolidge ascending to MILF immortality Plus Rod Stewart, Wayne's World beef, and America's Next Top Meltdown And then—BOOM— New spinoff alert: Stallone Cold Debates.

The Nile monitor, a six-foot-long lizard native to Africa, is gaining ground in parts of the state. Wildlife officials say the species poses a serious threat to native animals, and it can now be killed year-round without a permit. Known for tackling invasive reptiles, trapper Mike Kimmel — also called the Python Cowboy — describes the Nile monitor as “like a python mixed with an iguana.” They're powerful, intelligent predators, similar to a smaller Komodo dragon. On Florida's west coast, especially in Cape Coral, biologists have been battling the species for nearly 20 years. Hundreds have been trapped, but pockets remain. That's concerning because Cape Coral is also home to Florida's largest population of the threatened Burrowing owl, which nests in the ground — making it vulnerable to predators like the Nile monitor. These lizards are carnivores. They eat fish, frogs, birds, eggs, small mammals — even young crocodiles — and have been known to attack chickens and small pets. They can grow up to 6.5 feet long, weigh nearly 20 pounds, run up to 18 miles per hour, and swim underwater for nearly an hour. Their ability to travel along canals and waterways has helped them spread. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is actively removing Nile monitors and urges residents to report any sightings. Wildlife officials warn: this is one invasive species South Florida can't afford to ignore. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/florida-newest-invasive-nile-monitors/ What To Do To Minimize Stress About International Travel and “Shelter In Place” Warnings Last weekend Americans were told to shelter in place following a Mexican drug lord's death on Feb. 22, 2026. As a result, parts of Mexico have seen civil unrest in the wake of his death, including vehicles being torched and gunmen, believed to have supported the deceased, blocking highways in more than a dozen Mexico states.

It’s tough to be a craft brewer these days, whether that’s in Oregon or elsewhere in the nation. Shifting consumer demands, including for non-alcohol beer, along with rising costs and market saturation have contributed to declining craft beer sales in recent years. In Oregon, the abrupt closure of Rogue Ales last November after nearly 40 years was a stark reminder that even iconic brands aren’t immune to the industry’s struggles.    It’s against this backdrop that four Central Oregon breweries and a cidery recently announced the formation of the Oregon Beverage Collective. The new partnership includes Cascade Lakes Brewing Company, Silver Moon Brewing, Crux Fermentation Project, GoodLife Brewing Company and Tumalo Cider Company. The OBC aims to share resources and manage rising costs for supplies and ingredients. Crux’s production facility in Bend will now be responsible for brewing most of the OBC’s craft beverages. Crux Fermentation Project has also been acquired by the Rhine family, which owns Cascade Lakes Brewing.    Andy Rhine, co-owner of Cascade Lakes Brewing and President of OBC, says the collective will allow each of the brands to retain its own identity while fostering new collaborations between them. Rhine joins us, along with Steve Augustyne, CEO of OBC and owner of Silver Moon Brewing, to share what this collective model offers for both brewers and consumers.

The pack mentality isn't going away anytime soon in craft brewing.    The Oregon Beverage Collective (OBC) – the tie up of Crux Fermentation Project, Cascade Lakes Brewing, Silver Moon Brewing, Goodlife Brewing and Tumalo Cider – launched a couple of weeks ago as one of the latest additions to this crowd.   OBC president Andy Rhine joined the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast to share how those five brands are looking to build strength in numbers.   Rhine explained that OBC's formation wasn't out of necessity even in a Pacific Northwest market facing challenges through distributor consolidation. Instead, the collective's foundation was built via long-time relationships among brewery owners in Bend. And it was those relationships that led to Rhine acquiring Crux in a separate deal from founders Larry Sidor and Paul Evers.    Even with a portfolio of five brands and efforts to consolidate production, sales and marketing, Rhine said maintaining each brand's "unique identity" will be key to the future of the collective. The conversation also covered Rhine's view of OBC's future and whether more members will be added to its ranks.    Before the interview, Justin and Zoe break down the latest headlines, including the fallout from Dry January, the Brewers Association's 2025 financial results, Tilray's licensing deal with Carlsberg, the Left Hand Collective's newest member and the Supreme Court's ruling on reciprocal tariffs.

Next Friday, the 2026 Paralympic Games kick off in Milan Cortina, the same region in Northern Italy which hosted the recently concluded Winter Olympics. Anna Soens is an alpine skier from Bend with incomplete paralysis who earned a spot on the Team USA roster. She will now head to Italy to join more than 650 athletes from around the world vying for victory in nearly 80 medal events.    It is her first time competing in the Paralympics where she has qualified for five events:  downhill, super-G, alpine combined, giant slalom and slalom. The achievement is even more impressive considering that she has only been skiing with the use of adaptive equipment for less than a decade after an accident at a Portland rock climbing gym left her with incomplete paralysis below the hips. In 2018, Soens became the first woman with paraplegia to summit Mt. Hood, which she did with her father, and she is the first person to descend its summit using a sit-ski.    Soens joins us to share her remarkable athletic journey and hopes for her Paralympic races.
