Rising costs challenge local restaurants as new owners navigate tough stretch

KESQ on October 20, 2025

Luis Avila

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) – The restaurant scene in Palm Springs is experiencing both promising new beginnings and sobering realities, as rising costs and recent closures continue to challenge the industry.

Hunny’s Restaurant and Bar, located in the heart of downtown Palm Springs, has officially opened its doors. For owner Precious Dykstra, the moment is filled with excitement and anticipation. But opening a new restaurant isn’t without its hurdles. For Dykstra, one of the biggest early challenges is visibility.

“I just think opening a new restaurant is always challenging. Getting the word out there, letting people know that we’re here is probably the first challenge.”

Precious Dykstra, Hunny’s Restaurant & Bar

Hunny’s now occupies the former space of Grand Central — a visible reminder of how tough the restaurant business can be. Council member Jeffrey Bernstein noted that rising costs are straining restaurant owners throughout the city.

“Restaurants are having a pretty tough time in general just with the cost of everything rising so fast and its food, staffing and rents. But the costs of good has gone up significantly so it’s a tough business.”

Jeffrey Bernstein, Palm Springs City Council Member

Another recent closure includes Sonny’s, an establishment in the Arenas District. Still, Bernstein says the city overall is seeing strong business activity and emphasizes that local support remains a critical factor in a restaurant’s success.

“From a business point of view, we really do understand the struggles local businesses are going through… From the city council point of view, we see a lot of growth and economic opportunity. There’s lots of places that are opening up and other restaurants looking for space.”

Jeffrey Bernstein, Palm Springs City Council Member

While the road ahead may be uncertain, new owners like Dykstra are holding onto optimism — bolstered by a community that believes in their potential.

Downtown Bend intersection to fully close through Wednesday for final sewer work

KTVZ on October 20, 2025

KTVZ

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — The intersection of Olney Avenue and Wall Street is scheduled for a final three-day closure through Wednesday to complete the final phase of sewer line tie-in work for the Olney Avenue Improvements Project, city officials said Monday.

The newly installed sewer line improvements on Olney Avenue increase the capacity of the city’s sewer system, reduce risk across the system, and replace two aging sewer lines from the 1970s that ran underneath the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway crossing, the city said in a news release that continues below:

Olney closure map

This secondary intersection closure was anticipated before construction began and allowed us (the city) to open the intersection back in May, prior to the sewer line improvements being complete. To connect the new sewer line, the existing line at the intersection will need to be worked on for three days.

The three-day closure is limited to the Wall Street and Olney Avenue intersection. Access to all driveways and businesses will remain open. The intersection of Olney Avenue and Wall Street is anticipated to re-open to vehicle traffic on Wednesday, Oct. 29.  

Detours will be posted. Business access will remain open during construction and signage will direct alternate routes.

Following Oct. 29, construction on Olney Avenue from Wall Street to Second Street will continue through early 2026 to complete water line improvements replacing aging lines from the 1950s and increasing the water system’s durability and flexibility for emergency response.

Ongoing coordination between the City and BNSF Railway continues for completing the project work and temporarily reopening the road in late December.

Kansas City-area man accused of exposing himself to child at Columbia hotel

KMIZ on October 20, 2025

Ryan Shiner

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man from the Kansas City area was charged with a felony after authorities say he exposed himself to a child at a hotel in Columbia on Sunday.

Kyle Baranowski, 39, of Independence, was charged on Monday with sexual misconduct involving a child younger than 15 years old and misdemeanor trespassing. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. An arraignment was held on Monday.

Court documents do not name the hotel or location of the building. The probable cause statement says a manager at the hotel told Baranowski to leave between 8-9 a.m. that day after Baranowski allegedly exposed himself to a youth.

Baranowski was not staying at the hotel, the statement says. He allegedly went back to the building, was told to leave again and he allegedly told the manager “No,” the statement says. Police saw Baranowski at a stairwell of the hotel and detained him.

The child victim allegedly told police that they saw Baranowski urinate on a bush outside the hotel. The victim then claimed that they were later with adults who told Baranowski to leave and Baranowski allegedly responded by putting up his middle fingers and pulling down his pants, the statement says.

Court records show Baranowski has pleaded guilty in several cases for first-degree trespassing in Boone County since December 2024.

Police: Man dead after being hit by dump truck at Business Loop and Range Line

KMIZ on October 20, 2025

Ryan Shiner

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Columbia police confirmed a man is dead after he was hit by a dump truck on Monday afternoon near the intersection of Business Loop 70 and Range Line Street.

Columbia Police Department Lt. Scott Alpers told ABC 17 News at the scene that it is still unclear how the crash occurred and officers are still working with witnesses.

Police later announced in a press release that the victim is Roger Bone, 56, of Jefferson City. The driver of the dump truck was not injured, police wrote.

The dump truck pulled over near a motel on Range Line Street. An ABC 17 News reporter saw police tape placed around the truck and the front of the motel. Police later wrote in a press release that the victim rode a bicycle and that he died at the scene.

Boone County Joint Communications sent a notification at 2:18 p.m. indicating a motor vehicle crash was reported at the intersection. A second notification was sent nine minutes later stating that first responders had closed the road.

A reporter saw first responders bring out a white tarp at 2:30 p.m. The victim’s body was transported from the scene at 3:28 p.m. The northbound lanes of Range Line Street reopened at 3:46 p.m. A tow truck arrived at the hotel around the same time.

An audit on the road is being conducted to eliminate traffic-related deaths and serious injuries. It prioritizes safer conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, seniors, motorcyclists and school-aged children. The City of Columbia and traffic experts conducted walk-throughs of the road last week and noted several improvements were needed.

Some of those included adjusting traffic signals in the area, filling in gaps on sidewalks and adding more crosswalks. The city also said last week that the audit should be completed by spring 2026.

Research from CBB Transportation Solution also found that more than 60% of fatal and serious injuries along the corridor involve people outside of vehicles, according to previous reporting.

McKenzie Ortiz, of the city’s Bike and Pedestrian Commission, said after hearing about Monday’s deadly crash that she’s hopeful both city and state leaders will make the changes to the road a priority.

“I’ve experienced near misses myself so many times,” Ortiz said. “I mean even today, I almost got hit at an intersection and that’s just the reality of being a vulnerable road user in Columbia; whether you’re on a motorcycle, a bicycle or you’re walking. People just either don’t pay attention or there’s just not enough separation between you and the cars.”

Governor Kotek highlights affordable housing collaborative efforts during Central Oregon tour

KTVZ on October 20, 2025

Claire Elmer

(Update: adding video, comments from Governor Kotek and Hayden Homes President)

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — State and local leaders gathered Monday in Bend and Sisters to spotlight Central Oregon’s progress toward building more affordable homes as part of an ongoing statewide housing push.

Governor Tina Kotek joined members of the Oregon Legislature, local builders, and community advocates at Parkside Place, the first stop on a regional tour of new housing developments. 

The tour was arranged to visit real-world examples of Central Oregon’s housing production efforts, public-private partnerships, infrastructure challenges and land use processes – all of which influence development, regionally and statewide.

Participants included leadership and membership from the state Senate and House housing committees and officials with the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), Housing Accountability and Production Office (HAPO), and Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS).

The visit aimed to show how recently passed legislation (HB 4079, HB 3318, and SB 1537) is helping increase the supply of homes for middle-income families — those who earn too much to qualify for assistance but are still priced out of the market.

“The largest economic challenge for our state is not having enough housing, and having housing at the different price points that people need,” Kotek said. “We know the cost of living here in our state is a challenge.”

The Parkside Place neighborhood, developed by Hayden Homes, is among the projects supported by new state measures designed to streamline permitting and strengthen partnerships between private builders and state housing programs.

“I’m really proud of all the folks here — the builders and community leaders — who are making this work,” Kotek said during the visit.

Hayden Homes President Steve Klingman praised the cooperation between public and private sectors, calling it an encouraging sign for long-term solutions.

“The influence of your (Gov. Kotek’s) leadership is opening doors and creating conversations that we have not seen in decades,” Klingman said, adding that Parkside Place “will be home for the hard-working families who are not able to live and work in Bend due to the high housing costs.”

The governor’s stop in Bend was part of her broader effort to meet Oregon’s target of building 36,000 new homes per year. The tour continued in Sisters, where the delegation learned about additional projects aimed at easing housing pressures across rural communities in Central Oregon.

Both state and local officials say these efforts show what’s possible when investment and zoning reforms align to meet Oregon’s growing housing needs.
