Oct. 8, 1945 - Dec. 3, 2010 Jeannine Harrelson of Sunriver, passed from this life on December 3, 2010. A peaceful celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, December 11, at the home of Guy and Ronnie Harrelson, 61125 Ladera Drive, Bend, from 1pm to 5pm. Jeannine was survived by her mother, Doreen Jeannine Shurtleff of Harrelson Ogden, UT; her two sons, Michael Harrelson of Ogden, UT and Guy Harrelson of Bend, as well as her eight grandchildren, Steven Harrelson, Ryan Harrelson, Megan Harrelson, Scott Harrelson, Sebastion Harrelson, Carter Quigley, Annie Quigley and Adaline Harrelson; and one great-grandchild, Ryan Harrelson. Jeannine lived the way she loved, whole heartedly. Her family, friends and anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting her will truly miss the joy she brought to our lives. To Jeannine the world revolved around being a grandma, which she excelled at, always at the ready with candy, ready to read a story, up for a trip to the bowling alley or just handing out hugs. Jeannine loved to be outside "in the dirt" either yard work, flowers or just pulling weeds she loved the dirt. When not gardening Jeannine enjoyed playing with and just simply being with her other "Babies", Bennett, Bailey and Buddy her dogs. In lieu of flowers, Jeannine would prefer a donation be made to Partners In Care, 2075 NE Wyatt Court, Bend OR 97701.

Heda Kovaly wrote about life under totalitarianism By William Grimes New York Times News Service
Heda Margolius Kovaly, a Czech writer and translator whose memoir, “Under a Cruel Star,” described her imprisonment by the Nazis during World War II and her persecution by the Communists in the 1950s and became a classic account of life under totalitarianism, died Sunday at her home in Prague. She was 91. Her death was confirmed by Helen Epstein, who edited and helped translate the revised edition of her memoir. Kovaly (pronounced KO-vahlee), the daughter of prosperous Jews, found her world turned inside out with the German annexation of Czechoslovakia. With her family and her husband, Rudolf Margolius, she was deported to the Lodz ghetto in Poland in 1941 and then, in 1944, to Auschwitz, where her parents were sent to the gas chambers on their arrival. After being moved to the

Patty Byers, a former resident of Bend for 30 years, passed away on Friday, November 26. She returned to Illinois in 2005. Patty was born in Granite City, IL, to William & Elizabeth (Ulanski) Ashby on October 22, 1944. After returning home to Illinois, Patty worked in marketing at the Bunkerhill Gazette newspaper. While living in Bend, Patty was active at St. Francis Catholic Church and worked at their thrift shop until it closed. She worked at the Pill Box for a few years and was active at the Red Cross blood services in Central Oregon. A celebration of Patty’s life was held on Wednesday, December 1, at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church, with a mass officiated by Father Tom Liebler. Patty and Mike Byers lived at 2985 Foots St., Bunkerhill, IL 62014. Memorials: In Patty’s name to Hospice of Southern Illinois, 305 S. Illinois St., Belleville, IL 62220.
Sergiu Luca, a Romanianborn American violinist who founded several important chamber music festivals and ensembles and who was renowned for the breadth of his repertory and the elegance and warmth of his tone, died Monday at his home in Houston. He was 67. The cause was bile-duct cancer, John Gingrich, Luca’s man-
Continued from C1 White said the affiliations of the individual bringing an appeal shouldn’t matter. “The issue is not who they are, but does the project meet the criteria?” he said. “And I think we’ve presented testimony that addresses those issues.” Citizens will have another seven days to submit written testimony on the project to La Pine City Hall, after which Williams will have seven days to provide a written rebuttal, and Biogreen another seven days to counter any claims in Williams’ rebuttal. No public testimony will be taken at the City Council’s meeting on Dec. 29.
Continued from C1 In October, the board awarded Mikalson a three-year contract, the details of which the board approved Wednesday. Mikalson’s new salary also brings him closer to the 2009-10 salaries of superintendents at Oregon school districts with more than 4,000 students, according to data from the Confederation of Oregon School Administrators. Superintendents at those districts averaged $139,310 in annual salary, while the lowest earner in that group made $112,461, ac-
cording to the group. Redmond has more than 7,000 students. The district also will pay Mikalson $1,200 a month to cover his expenses, including travel and cell phone use. That amount is about what Fleming expensed each month, according to Erickson. Judy Newman, the Redmond Education Association president, congratulated Mikalson on his new contract during the meeting. The association is a union representing the district’s licensed staff, including teachers. “We support this decision,” Newman said. “And we’re very happy that you’re our leader.” The board also voted unani-
ager since 1970, said. Luca founded the Chamber Music Northwest summer festival in Portland and Context, a period-instrument group based in Houston, among other ensembles, but it was in New York that he established his own career, playing the virtuoso Romantic repertory in the late 1960s and early ’70s. By the mid-’70s he began experimenting with period instruments
for performances of Baroque music. At the time, performing on 17th-century violins was the province of specialists, and to this day relatively few violinists move easily between Baroque and modern violins, which differ in string tension, timbres and bowing styles. In his early performances he tried to find common ground between Baroque and modern approaches.
CPR Continued from C1 He placed the dummy on the floor, then demonstrated each of the steps: checking the scene, tapping and shouting to see if the victim would wake up, asking a passer-by to call 911. Then the chin lift and head tilt, looking, listening and feeling for breathing, and rescue breaths and chest compressions. He told the class about the time he performed CPR on an elderly man in a football stadium. Schwarz doesn’t know whether the man lived, but said he had a pulse when the ambulance came. “It’s real, it happens,” Schwarz told his class. “So knowing this skill is a really good thing.” Once Schwarz completed his demonstration, it was the students’ turn. Six at a time, the seventhand eighth-graders kneeled on the floor before their dummies, struggling to hold their arms straight and counting aloud as they completed chest compressions. Brad Sellers, 14, said he likes knowing he has the skill if the need arises. “I wanted to do this so I can help people,” he said. And he thinks it makes sense to learn the skills in school. “We’re learning about evolving and being able to do things on our own,” he said. For Tom Farley, the executive director of the local Oregon Mountain River Chapter of the

Jamie Martin performs CPR on a dummy as his classmates in Karl Schwarz’s advanced science class watch Wednesday at Pilot Butte Middle School. American Red Cross, Schwarz’s work is important. “To find a colleague with students who are helping with that societal need, that’s a great partnership,” he said. “It’s effective, too. These kids aren’t asleep in class.” Schwarz reminded the class how long they must continue chest compressions: until the ambulance comes, or the person is revived, or you simply cannot continue. “Can you imagine if you had to do this for a half hour?” Schwarz asked the students. They murmured in agreement; the hardest part is the chest compressions. “It gets really tiring,” Dalton said.
Olivia Carlile, 12, was sitting to the side as she watched her classmates work on their dummies. She said although it can be funny to watch her classmates do CPR on the dummies, it’s also nice to know there are people out there who can help out. “We can feel good if we actually have to save a life,” she said. “We won’t be confused.” But, Olivia said, the process is a little nerve-racking. “If you do it the wrong way, you could make a big mistake,” she said. “And it’s funny because when we do it we look funny. But at least we know what to do.”
is required by law to negotiate with new bargaining groups that are approved by the state. Bend resident Ron Boozell told the commission that limiting Flaherty’s staff choices could hurt his ability to prosecute cases. “I support District Attorneyelect Patrick Flaherty’s need to hire the staff of his choice,” he said. “I believe and trust his campaign promise of justice, not politics, but only if he is allowed to fulfill that promise by choosing those that will represent those in office.” Becky Gallagher, a Eugene attorney representing the deputy district attorneys, said in a phone interview Wednesday that she was pleased with the
contract. She said the just-cause provision does not mean Flaherty will be unable to fire any employees. “(The provision) does not guarantee employees a job for life,” she said. “It’s very clearly spelled out in the contract what that means.” Flaherty, who could not be reached for comment Wednesday, has said he doesn’t believe the proposed contract will limit him from making staff changes — but also doesn’t agree with the county’s decision to approve a contract before he takes office next month.

apartment, she eked out a living doing translations under assumed names. In 1968, after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, she fled to Britain and then emigrated to the United States. Margolius was officially, although secretly, rehabilitated in 1963. When filling out a form for the Ministry of Justice that asked her to report any losses inflicted by her husband’s arrest and execution, Kovaly drew up a list that included “loss of honor,” “loss of health” and “loss of faith in the Party and in justice.” Only at the end of her 10-item list did she write “loss of property.” “I carry the past inside me like an accordion, like a book of picture postcards that people bring home as souvenirs from foreign cities, small and neat,” she wrote in her memoir. “But all it takes is to lift one corner of the top card for an endless snake to escape, zigzag joined to zigzag, the sign of the viper, and instantly all the pictures line up before my eyes.”

Christianstadt forced labor camp and toiling in a secret munitions factory and a brickyard, she escaped from a column of prisoners being marched to Bergen-Belsen in early 1945. She made her way back to Prague, where she reunited with her husband, who had survived both Auschwitz and Dachau and, under the Communist government of Klement Gottwald, rose to become a deputy minister of foreign trade. In 1952, Margolius and 13 other government officials, including the former general secretary of the Czechoslovak Communist Party, Rudolf Slansky, were arrested and charged with conspiring against the state. All but two were Jewish, and all were found guilty in one of the era’s most notorious show trials. On Dec. 3, 1952, Margolius was hanged. His wife and their 4-year-old son, Ivan, were hounded by the state and shunned by society. Denied employment and thrown out of her

Losoya has lived in the district for more than eight years, according to his board application. A graduate of Western Oregon University, Losoya sat on the district’s bond savings task force and is a vice president and branch manager for Home Federal Bank in Redmond. The board expects him to be sworn in later this month. Patrick Cliff can be reached at 541-382-1811 or at pcliff@bendbulletin.com.
Continued from C1 The contract does not provide for wage increases or boosted benefits beyond normal county procedures. “The fiscal impacts on the county are, for all intents and purposes, nil,” Kanner said. The pending contract is the result of a process that began this summer, when a group of Deschutes County deputy district attorneys petitioned the state to form a union. After the group was approved, its representatives began negotiating with county officials and approved a contract last month. Kanner noted that the county
