• State could take over police duties in Curry, Josephinecounties By Lauren Dake The Bulletin
SALEM — This week, Curry County voters rejected a five-year law enforcement levy, leaving officials in the cash-strapped county to turn
to the state for help to put patrol officers on the roads and keep the jail operating. "I believe the state is in a position to step in and they have indicated they will do so, and I think they have an obligation
to do so," Curry County Commissioner David Itzen said. Curry County, which has one of the lowest property rates in the state, asked voters to help fill a gap in the county's budget from declining federal
timber subsidies. Voters chose not to approve the measure, which would have raised about $4.5 million in the first year. A similar measure went down in neighboring Josephine County. Now, Curry County is looking at how to fund the jail, parole programs, 911 dispatch,

On its website, the city of Culver boasts that it has great schools and is a wonderful place to raise a family. But Tuesday, for the second time in less than two years, voters rejected a bond to refurbish schools there. Unlike two other bonds that passed in Central Oregon on Tuesday$96 million for Bend-La Pine Schools and $33 million for the Crook County School District — Culver's $9.8 million bond would not have added schools. Instead, it would have funded the demolition of aging buildings, the addition of new classroom space and the replacement of heating, ventilation and cooling systems that are more than 40 years old. So why hasn't this farming community been able to rally support for these

"I don't know. I've really been thinking about it a lot," Culver School Board Chairman Dave Slaght said the morning after the election. "I didn't get much sleep last night." StefanieGarber,superintendent of the district and principal of Culver Elementary School, said that in her 12 years in the area, she has "definitely felt a change in the support for the schools."

Morethan a decade ago, at a vintage computer fair in Silicon Valley, Dag Spicer had an opportunity to buy an original Apple-1 for $2,000. He passed. Any regrets? Not really, he said. "Of course," Spicer added, "I could have paid off my mortgage now with what it would be worth." Perhaps so. Last November, an Apple-1 sold for$640,000 at an auction in Germany. That sale surpassed the previous record of $374,500 set only five months earlier at Sotheby's in New York. The astronomical run-up in the price of the original Apple-1 machines — made in 1976 and priced at $666.66 (about $2,700 in current dollars) — is a story of the economics of scarcityand technofetishism, magnified by the mystique surrounding Apple and its founders, as the company has become one of the largest, most profitable corporations in the world. The next test of the Apple-1 market comes Saturday, at the same auction house in Cologne, Germany, where the record sale took place last November. Even the auctioneer, Uwe Breker, expressed some surprise at the price reached last fall. SeeApple/A5

President seeks anarrower securi strategy By Peter Baker New York Times News Service
WASHINGTON — Nearly a dozen years afterthe hijackings that transformed America, President Barack Obama on Thursday said it was time to narrow the scope of the grinding battle against terrorists and begin the transition to a day when the country will no longer be on a war footing.

Declaring that "America is at acrossroads,"the president called for redefining what has been a global war into a more targeted assault on terrorist groups threatening the United States. As part of a realignment of counterterrorism policy, he said he would curtail the use of drones, recommit to closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and seek new limits on his own war power. In a much-anticipated speech at the National De-
fense University, Obama sought to turn the page on the era that began Sept. 11, 2001, when the imperative of preventing terrorist attacks became both the priority and the preoccupation. Instead, the president suggested that the United States had returned to the state of affairs that existed before al-Qaida toppled the World Trade Center, when terrorism was a persistent but not existential danger. SeeObama/A5
