A wave of frauds perpetrated on Craigslist are targeting Bend residents looking for rental properties,
— Like video rental stores and handwritten letters, they're becomingobsolete.A6
according to local property managers. Annie Packman, leasing specialist for Morris Hayden Property Management, said her office has been flooded seniors,CS by calls from would-be renters seeing ads on Craigslist with two different prices and two different contacts. They're trying to figure out who actually manages the properties they're seeing for rent online. According to property management companies and Bend PoliceSgt. Nick Parker, the scam works like this: Scammers identify rental properties, sometimes copyingproperty management website listings and changing just the contact information and the price, usually much lower than the real monthly rent. Then the scammers email would-be renters, eventually convincing some to wire them a deposit. Often it's a waste of time for renters who need places to live. But sometimes, Packman said, it's even worse. When Packman was showing a home in Northwest Bend recently, people showed up who had been communicating by email with a scammer about the house.

Raiders to make a final toast By Barrie Barber Cox Newspapers
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio — The historic, final toast of the Doolittle Raiders is expected to attract thousands of people and the Air Force's top brass today to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Three of the four surviving Raiders will gather from acrossthe country at the museum to toast the memory of their fallen airmen on the April 18, 1942, mission that bombed Japan and that historians credit with turning the tide of the Pacific war in World War II. "We know there's going to be a huge crowd and I am absolutely certain that we're going to see thousands and thousands of people here," said Jack Hudson, museum director and a retired Air Force lieutenant general. "This is the final event that they are going to do in any kind of public setting and they had always envisioned their final event to be that toast." Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh, the service branch's top uniform leader, and Acting Secretary of the Air Force Eric Fanning, the top civilian leader, are scheduled to attend, Hudson said. SeeDoolittle /A4

You might not notice him, but he's there, standing on a limb in the ponderosa pine that grows through the roof of the Pine Tavern, Bend's oldest than 150 years. And someone has to take care of the old tree. That's Russell Abt, owner of Arbor Tree Care, and he's been maintaining the tree for more than 20 years.For a photo story, see Page B2.

CHICAGO — Rising from the ashes of 9/11, the new World Trade Center tower has punched above the New York skyline to reach its powerfully symbolic height of 1,776 feet and become the tallest building in the country. Or has it'? A committee of architects recognized as the arbiters on world building heights met Friday to decide whether a design change affecting the skyscraper's 408-foot needle disqualifies it from being counted. Disqualification would deny the tower the title as the nation's tallest. But there is more
