The preferred option for creating new space to hold juvenile offenders in Deschutes County is to renovate a sheriff's work release facility, not build a new juvenile detention center, according to a recently delivered report to Deschutes County commissioners. The move would reduce the number of beds available for youthful offenders to 10 from as many as 56, based on a Juvenile Needs Assessment by Chinn Planning Inc. of Columbia, S.C. The move, as laid out in the report, increases operating costs, although the commissioners say they're considering options that reduce costs and increase
have solved the puzzle.A6

Last fall, when Democrats and Republicans seemed unable to agree on
anything, one bill glided through Congress with broad bipartisan support and won a quick signature from President Barack Obama: the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme Prohibition Act of 2011. This odd law essentially forbids U.S. airlines from participating in the Emissions Trading System, Europe's somewhat lonely attempt to rein in planetwarming emissions. Under that 8-year-old program, European power plants and manufacturers pay feesifthey produce excess carbon emissions. The aviation sector was slated to start paying this year, too, for emissions generated by flights into or out of EU airports. But after airlines and governments in the United States, India and China went ballistic — filing lawsuits, threatening trade actions and prompting legislation — the European Commission said it would delay full implementation for just one year to let the naysayers accede to an alternative global plan to reduce airlines' carbon footprint. Now, all eyes are on Americans. SeeCarbon/A5
longtime Bend residence. But make no mistake: Bend will always be her home. Evers-Williams, 79, the civil rights leader who recently delivered the invocation at President Barack Obama's inauguration, has quietly lived on the northern edge of Bend for nearly 25 years. It pains her to leave. "Quite honestly, I have an ongoing love affair with Bend," she said Friday. Evers-Williams was raised by her grandmother in Mississippi. She met husband Medgar Evers as a student at Alcorn A8 M College, and the couple married in 1951. Evers, who worked as the Mississippi field secretary for the NAACP, was gunned down in the family's driveway in 1963 by a white supremacist. Evers-Williams fought for three decadesto bring her husband's murderer to justice. The man went to trial three times and was finally convicted in 1994. A fterwitnessing her husband's murder, she said she
developed a sort of split personality. In public, she was the strong widow. In private, she said, she was overwhelmed by anger and hate. Evers-Williams had to learn to use that energy and turn it into something better. She said she remembered the advice of her grandmother and her late husband. "There should be no room in your heart for hatred," she said. "Eventually I reached a point where I wanted nothing to do with hatred." See Evers-Williams/A6
beds.
May vote Wednesday The proposed building shuffle started in September, when the three-member commission adopted a plan to renovate the county detention center for juveniles on Northwest Britta Street into a space for adult inmates to reduce overcrowding in the nearby county jail on Jamison Road. The commission rejected a plan to float a $10 million bond issue and add 144 beds to the existing jail, proposing to make do with existing facilities instead. The preferred option, which the commission may formally adopt Wednesday, could result in some young offenders released to the community or shipped to another detention center more than 100 miles away if trends in juvenile crime somehow spike or reverse.
