"Central Oregon activist Clifford Cook was
^abducted, robbed and assaulted Oct. 29 in
Bend. 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.

A
buffer zone between the nude beach at
Sauvie Island and the nearest private
home will remain, the Oregon Fish and
W ildlife Com m ission voted unanimously
Oct. 19.
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.
