The Sisters City Council plans to wait until July to start looking for a new, permanent city manager. Andrew Gorayeb, interim city manager, said he knew of no plans by the council to start the hiring process earlier. Mayor Brad Boyd said the council May 2 voted 5-0 to delay a search until after the budget season. "We are not going to try to do a search for qualified candidates in-house," Boyd said. "We'll either go to theLeague of Oregon Cities or an outside firm and have them help us find qualified candidates." Boyd said the council does not have a deadline for having a new manager in place. "We want to find the most qualified person who fits well with Sisters

But where's the snow?

Treasury knew about IRS probe during 2012

Greenwood Playhouse to be sold? By Rachael Rees The Bulletin

By Jonathan Weisman New Yorlz Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department's inspector general told senior Treasury officials in June 2012 he was investigating allegations that the Internal Revenue Service had targeted conservative groups, disclosing for the first time on Friday that Obama administration officials were aware of the matter during the presiden-

tial campaign year. At the first congressional hearing into the IRS scandal, Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, told members of the House Ways and Means Committee that he informed the Treasury's general counsel of his investigation on June 4, and Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin "shortly thereafter." The new information came as part of a routine briefing of the investigations that the inspector general would be conducting in the coming year, and he did not tell the officials of his conclusions that the targeting had been improper, he said. Still, George's testimony will most likely fuel efforts by congressional Republicans to show that Obama administration officials knew of the targeting, but did not reveal that knowledge during President Barack Obama's re-elec-

tion campaign. SeeIRS/A5

The snowpack on the Mount Bachelor PPP course is, as the race director says, "not great." It's not supposed to ruin the race, but it could make for a slog. And it might even snow today, which wouldn't help.Story oo C1

The board of the Cascades Theatrical Company has arranged a tentative deal to sell the Greenwood Playhouse, which has housed the company since the 1980s. Several board members believe selling the building, located on Northwest Greenwood Avenue, is the only way to help the nonprofit escape financial debts and survive. But one board member and several other members of the theatrical company are objecting. They fearthe sale could be the beginning of the end for the company, and are desperate to find another option before the sale goes through. SeeTheater /A5

New guide for diagnosing mental illness isfraught By Lena H. Sun The Washington Post

For ADHD, the definition is being broadened,meaning the disorder could be diagnosed in more children. In the case of autism, the opposite is true. The new criteria are among the changes that will be released with the publi-

cation this weekend of the long-awaited guidebook that psychiatrists and other mental health clinicians use to diagnose mental disorders. It's the first major update in nearly 20 years. The 947-page tome by the American Psychiatric Association adds some new disorders, broadens criteria

for existing ones and tightens them for other illnesses. The highly controversial decisions involved in producing the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5, have a potentially broad impact: They can affect which services children

receive in schools, what treatments patients receive from doctors and even how people are viewed by society. Experts involved in the

guidebook say the changes will give clinicians greater precision in diagnoses and treatments. Critics counter that the new language will
