Two young men are being held on almost $1.4 million bail each, Bend.com reported Oct. 31. Cook, a retired teacher, is the executive administrator for Red Lion Hotels & Inns in Fiend. He also serves as chairman o f the Human Dignity C oalition’s board of directors. According to Deschutes County Sheriff’s Sgt. Michael Johnston, Cook called 911 about 7 p.m., saying the men abducted him at work, forced him to withdraw money from his bank account, took him home, tied him up, slashed his throat and took off with stolen goods and his Jeep Grand Cherokee. Within a half-hour, a deputy was in pursuit of the vehicle, and the suspects were taken into custody after a high-speed chase. “These are murder suspects, so we are going to do whatever we can do to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion,” Undersheriff Larry Blanton said. Transient Michael John Ivester, 20, and Jay Lloyd M cCracken, 19, of Aberdeen, Wash., face charges of attempted aggravated murder, first-degree kidnapping, first-degree assault, first-degree robbery, sec ond-degree theft, first-degree burglary, unau thorized use of a motor vehicle, reckless driv ing, attempting to elude and driving with a suspended license. Cook, 61, was released Oct. 31 from St. Charles Medical Center. Coalition board mem ber Renee Menius was relieved to learn he is feeling all right. “We’re so fortunate that it wasn’t worse than this,” she said. “Frankly, I don’t know how he survived.” Cook’s cousin, Rosemary Hite, said he has scalp cuts, bad bruises and some equilibrium problems but should recover completely. “He has lots of moral support, a marvelous network of friends and family.” Kelley Weigel, Rural Organizing Project co director, alerted allies about the assault Oct. 30. “The potential of this crime to be a hate crime is being considered by friends around Cliff in the community," she said.

Columbia County Judge Ted Grove ruled in May that the boundary should be extended from 425 feet to 1,400 feet in a case brought by a couple who complained about sexual acts in their yard and trespassing by sunbathers. Homeowners Glen Mark and his wife, Teri Powers, said the Division of State Lands creat ed a nuisance by not enforcing the zone, the Oregonian reported Oct. 22. According to attorney Robert A. Petersen, the state has filed an appeal. He said the situ ation is akin to a couple buying a house next door to a loud gravel company during the off season, then later complaining about the noise. “They moved to the nuisance,” Petersen said. “They should have been aware of the situation.” The commission did qualify its stance, how ever. The agency stated explicitly it doesn’t want to be held responsible for sunbathers’ potentially offensive behavior. Financial Services * Investing. Worried About Your Rights?
