Searchers rescue lost mountain biker A search-and-rescue team from the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office found a 42-year-old mountain biker in good condition Monday evening, after the Bend man crashed and damaged his bike on the Mrazek trail near Tumalo Falls and then became lost. Jeffrey Evans, of Bend, called 911 after he became lost, and law enforcement personnel were able to retrieve the coordinates of his location from his cell phone, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office. Searchers went to the area in vehicles and on ATVs, and an ATV team located Evans at about 5:30 p.m., on U.S. Forest Service Road 4609 near Tumalo Creek. Evans had traveled about three miles from the spot where he crashed his bike, but he was uninjured and was returned to a family member in the area, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Crook County schools to cut calendar days In light of the state’s announcement of further funding cuts, the Crook County School District decided to cut two school days from the end of this year. On May 25, Gov. Ted Kulongoski announced state agencies supported by taxes, including K-12 schools, would have to cut about 9 percent for the final 12 months of the 2009-11 biennium because of a projected half-billion-dollar shortfall. The last day for kindergartners will be today, and the final day for all other students will be Wednesday. “We are sorry for this last-
minute inconvenience, but this allows the district to recapture $154,000 of the $1.2 million reduction in operating revenue for next year,� said a statement written by Superintendent Ivan Hernandez.
St. Charles Bend gets new cancer imager A machine that will allow doctors to identify and treat tumors with more precision will be installed at St. Charles Bend in the next six weeks, according to a news release from the medical center. The linear accelerator, which will be installed in the Cancer Center of the hospital, provides improved imagery that will allow doctors to treat tumors with more precise radiation therapy while causing less damage to tissue surrounding the cancer cells. The machine is the first of its kind to use three-dimensional images to help locate and identify tumors. St. Charles Bend plans to begin treating patients with the linear accelerator once installation is complete in late July.
Mailings to educate on wildfire protection About 33,000 Deschutes County property owners this week will receive mailings that will provide information that will help them protect their homes from wildfire this season. The Landowner Certification Packets, which are being sent to homeowners by the Oregon Department of Forestry in cooperation with Deschutes County, will ask homeowners to take steps such as clearing hazardous brush from the immediate
vicinity of their homes to reduce the risk of fire. Removing pine needles from roofs, pruning trees, reducing shrubs near the house and making sure there is easy access for a firetruck are all steps homeowners can take to prevent the spread of wildfire to their homes. Once residents complete these steps, they can fill out the selfcertification card and return it to ODF to ensure that they are certified under the Oregon Forestland-Urban Interface Fire Protection Act. This is the seventh year that ODF has sent out packets in an effort to help prepare Deschutes County residents for fire season.
and could impact Forest Roads 25, 2510 and 18, according to a news release from the Ochoco National Forest. Trails in the area might also be closed during the operation and for up to a week afterward due to residual smoke. The burn area is in the East Fort Rock OHV trail system. The Forest Service is using the prescribed burn to remove needles and woody debris that has built up at the bases of mature ponderosa pine trees. The Forest Service expected to light the fires around noon, and the project will take one day to complete, according to the news release. The agency will post signs with information for visitors.
Sisters district to close office, cut school days
John Day River reopens to rafters
The Sisters School District will close its administrative office on Friday and June 18, according to a district news release. The move is an attempt to save money as the district works to overcome a $534,000 deficit in its $12 million budget. The shortfall is a result of a recent statewide 9 percent budget cut. The district also will cut two school days from this school year and is considering other costsaving moves, including giving up salary raises.
The John Day River reopens to rafters at 6 a.m. today, after the Wheeler County Sheriff’s Office and Prineville Bureau of Land Management closed public boat launches between Kimberly and the Lower Burnt Ranch because the river was above flood stage. As of Monday, the river’s flow had lowered to 13,000 cubic feet per second, according to a news release from the Oregon State Police.
Prescribed burn will continue The U.S. Forest Service plans to continue work during the middle of this week on a 1,000acre prescribed burn project southeast of Bend and southwest of Pine Mountain, as weather permits. Smoke from the project will be “moderately visible� from Bend,
