WARM SPRINGS

Tribes mull possible locations for travel center By Joel Aschbrenner The Bulletin

Drivers crossing the Cascades on Highway 26 could have a new pit stop option in the next year. The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs are considering two locations to build a travel center along the highway. A feasibility study expected to be complete in about a month will help tribal leaders decide if a travel center is economically viable and in which location, said Kahseuss Jackson, economic development director for the tribes. Both locations are in the Miller Flat area, about 12 miles northwest of Warm Springs. At its core, the travel center would have a gas station and convenience store, Jackson said. It’s yet to be determined if other amenities, like a rest area for truckers, would also be included. See Center / A5

• Deborah Klecker of Sunriver was killed by an IED in Iraq while training police By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Deborah Klecker had a long career in law enforcement behind her when she decided to come out of retirement and travel to Iraq to train police officers in 2005. Her brother Greg Klecker thought it would make sense for Debi, who lived near Sunriver, to take one of the less dangerous jobs with the Irving, Texas-based contractor Dyn-

Deborah Klecker, who lived near Sunriver, was a civilian contractor who went to Iraq in 2005 to train police. Klecker was killed a couple of months after she arrived when an improvised explosive device detonated near the convoy in which she was traveling.

Corp International, training detectives in a fortified area of Baghdad where the U.S. Embassy is located. “She was a detective, she did detective work (at the Marion County Sheriff’s Office) for awhile,” Greg Klecker, 48, of Bend, said Wednesday. “They wanted her to do that, when she went over there with DynCorp. She didn’t want to do that. She wanted to be out. See Medal / A5

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. — As the sun climbed over the Manokin River, the wake from Daniel Dawson and K.C. Kerr’s skiff sent a great blue heron aloft. Swallows darted over the cordgrass and bulrushes, and an osprey circled overhead. The eyes of the two men were trained not on the sky but on the muddy riverbank. Their quarry was the nutria, a terrestrial — and highly unwelcome — denizen of the vast network of rivers, estuaries and marshland that drain into the Chesapeake Bay. “I’m pretty sure there was one up there in the last day or two,” said Dawson, combing through the grass in mud-encrusted waders on a recent expedition. “We’ve got one that comes up here and just grazes.” A web-footed rodent akin to muskrats and beavers, the nutria has a voracious appetite that wreaks havoc on the bay’s ecosystem. Nutria colonies once riddled the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, an ecologically fragile reserve on the Delmarva Peninsula, an isthmus between the bay and the Atlantic Ocean. See Nutria / A4

LE BOURGET, France — French investigators’ final report on the 2009 crash of an Air France jet that killed 228 people portrays a cockpit rapidly consumed by confusion and unable to decode a welter of alarms to determine which flight readings could be trusted, with one pilot’s apparent reliance on a faulty display cementing the plane into its fatal stall. The report, released Thursday by the Bureau of Investigation and Analysis, concluded that the errors were the outcome of a confluence of factors beyond the competence of any individual pilot. The investigators stood by earlier findings that the pilots had not been adequately trained to fly the aircraft manually in the event of equipment failure or a stall at high altitude. There was a “profound loss of understanding” among all three pilots of Air France Flight 447, an Airbus A330 en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, about what was happening after ice crystals threw off the plane’s airspeed sensors and the autopilot disconnected, the report said. The pilots then struggled to control the plane manually amid a barrage of alarms. “The crew never understood they were in a stall situation,” the report said, “and therefore never undertook any recovery maneuvers.” It said further that “the combination of the ergonomics of the warning design, the conditions in which airline pilots are trained and exposed to stalls during their professional training and the process of recurrent training does not generate the expected behavior in any acceptable reliable way.” See Crash / A5
