La Pine City Planning Commission Gloria Fleming – Vice Chair – La Pine City Planning Commission
What do you think La Pine should look like and what kind of ordinances do we need? Now is the time to speak up and submit your ideas. The Chamber of Commerce is made up of businesses and they have ideas and opinions. Developers and Investors also have their own opinions. What about you? An individual property owner that lives in or in the vicinity of the city. Time for your input is running out. When we incorporated, the idea was to have some local control and so our citizens could have a say in the decision making. The time has come to work on zoning ordinances. The City Planning Commission and City Council need your help so they will know your ideas and concerns. Whenever possible we want the new ordinances to reflect the wishes of the community as a whole. There is still an opportunity to attend meetings, give input and to review ordinances. You may also submit written ideas and testimony in writing to the City Hall until December 15th. There will be a public hearing on November 17th. Look for confirmation of time, location and possible additional meetings on Bulletin Boards and in local weekly Frontier and Wise Buys. You may also call City Hall. u

Music & Entainment
The lights dimmed, the band began to play, dancers hit the floor and as YOU began to play, the band hit that perfect groove… Hmmm, this is a feeling that you may have felt before if you have ever played live with a band. Or maybe you would like to have a chance to try to play with some other musicians in a band! That’s why I’ve created the first-ever “Be in a Band Workshop” here in La Pine. The workshop will need to consist of enough players to create a band – singer, guitarist, keyboard, bassist, drummer, horns, harmonica, etc. You’ll rehearse with a professional musician who coaches the band in group playing and arrangement. Previous band experience is not required but musicians must have basic skills. All types of music to be considered.
By PatRice, Radio Host
All groups will arrange and play songs by a variety of artists, most selected by the band members. Joining a workshop is a commitment to attend all the sessions on time and to do some practicing on your own. Outside rehearsals can be scheduled by band members.
At the end of the workshop, your new band will perform live at Jade’s Jazz Lounge in La Pine, record a CD and will be broadcast on KITCFM - 106.5! Interested? Come to a meeting on November 16, 6-8 pm at Jade’s Jazz Lounge to meet the instructor and find out if you would like to rock and roll. Cost will be very minimal.
