IN BRIEF
Man faces felony charges
for 'clandestine' videotapes
MEDFORD — A Rogue River man
faces multiple felony charges after he
allegedly videotaped visitors to his
home, police said.
Stephen Gayle Calhoun, 52, was ar
raigned this week on 15 counts of en
couraging child sexual abuse.
Calhoun was originally arrested
April 8 on misdemeanor charges of in
vasion of personal privacy after at least
one visitor to his home discovered hid
den video cameras there, Jackson
County Sheriffs Lt. Dewey Patten said.
Investigators served a search war
rant at the home last weekend and are
now reviewing seized tapes that were
allegedly used to secretly record sever
al people, including children, as they
dressed or disrobed. Patten said the
images could be considered “offen
sive” to those taped, but he did not
provide further details.
“This is kind of unusual,” Patten
said. “We don’t usually see this sort of
clandestine videotaping in a home.”
Inventor to receive
Lemelson-MIT prize
PORTLAND — California inventor
Elwood “Woody” Norris has been
named to receive the $500,000 Lemel
son-MIT prize this year to honor tech
nology he developed to focus sound
over long distances.
Norris, founder and chairman of
American Technology Corp. in San
Diego, holds 47 patents, including
the invention of hypersonic sound
technology.
The largest cash award for U.S. in
ventors will be presented for the first
time in Portland in a ceremony Friday
evening at the Oregon Museum of Sci
ence and Industry.
The Lemelson-MTT Prize Program at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technol
ogy administers the award, which be
gan after Jerome H. Lemelson, the
holder of more than 550 patents, and
his wife, Dorothy, established the
Lemelson Foundation in the 1990s to
fund programs that promote invention
and entrepreneurship.
Medical license revocation
rare despite mistakes
PORTLAND — The case of a Portland
doctor under investigation for patient
deaths in Australia after his medical
practice was limited by Oregon regula
tors has raised questions about the lev
el of disciplinary action for physician
negligence and surgical mistakes.
Dr. Jayant M. Patel, 55, who
worked for 12 years at Kaiser Perma
nente in Portland, is under investiga
tion in Australia after problems at the
Bundaberg Base Hospital in Queens
land, where he was chief of surgery
for the past two years.
The Oregon Board of Medical Exam
iners restricted his practice in 2000 fol
lowing a review of 79 problem cases,
including a man whose colostomy was
performed backward, blocking his gas
trointestinal system.
The board cited Patel for “gross or
repeated acts of negligence” but based
the restrictions mainly on four cases
out of the 79 referred by Kaiser for re
view. Kaiser also alerted the National
Practitioners Data Bank, a federal data
base that tracks disciplinary actions
against doctors.
