B end airport awarded FAA grant Bulletin staff report The Federal Aviation Administration recently awarded the city of Bend a $3,425,000 grant to move and widen a taxiway at the municipal airport. According to the city, the
project will bring the taxiway up to current FAA design standards. The total project cost is $3.6 million, and local funds will be used to cover the remaining balance. The work is expected to be completed in the summer
of 2012. It’s one of several upgrades at Bend’s municipal airport over the past few years, which include the construction of a new runaway completed in 2008 and a parallel taxiway finished in 2011.

of about five full-time teachers just before the 2011-12 began, according to Jim Widsteen, the district’s human resources executive director. Finding qualified employees is not a problem, he said. When the district posted the equivalent of about three full-time jobs at elementary schools, roughly 150 applicants responded. “We just went through the hiring process,� Widsteen said. “We try to hire as quickly as possible.�
Continued from C1 “We have a good idea of what to expect when doors open. To see even more enrollment growth than we expected, it’s a great thing,� said district spokeswoman Julianne Repman. Even with two years of increased enrollment, the district’s employee roster is smaller than it was before the recession hit. The district employs 1,477 full-time workers this year, a decline of 140 from two years ago. Similar

cuts have been made in districts across Oregon. This year’s enrollment jump mitigated those cuts just a bit. The higher-than-expected enrollment meant Bend-La Pine could hire the equivalent

Continued from C1 Gaddis, who has had four DUIIs, met Nelson-Dodson in Alcoholics Anonymous. Under the plea deal, Nelson-Dodson agreed to pay $39,684 in restitution to Gaddis, to complete 240 hours of community service and to attend gamblers anonymous, according to court documents. Nelson-Dodson could be taken off probation early if she successfully completes 16 months of probation. If Nelson-Dodson violates the conditions of her probation, she could receive a 16-month prison sentence. In Deschutes County Circuit Court on Monday morning, Deputy District Attorney Beth Bagley told Presiding Judge Michael Sullivan that Nelson-Dodson admitted to police that she took at least $50,000 of Gaddis’ money. “She essentially gambled all the stolen money away,� Bagley said. Nelson-Dodson did not have a prior criminal history, Bagley said.
Nelson-Dodson’s attorney, Jamie Gerlitz, told Sullivan that her client had already repaid Gaddis approximately $13,000. Gaddis said she just wanted to put the situation behind her. “I just want to get my money back and get out of here,� Gaddis said to Sullivan on Monday. Gerlitz said her client already paid the $39,684 restitution to the court before the Monday sentencing hearing. “I just think given the nature of the case, it was a fair resolution for everyone,� Gerlitz said. Nelson-Dodson resigned in March from the water district’s board. She and other water and sewer district commissioners faced allegations of conflict of interest and nepotism from city of La Pine officials, who wanted to annex the districts into the city government. In April, La Pine businessman Art Uecker filed a complaint with the Oregon Ethics Commission against Nelson-Dodson and two other district commissioners. The Oregon Ethics Commission is still reviewing the complaint. — Reporter: 541-617-7829, hborrud@bendbulletin.com.
