It also estimates that 3.6 percent were physi- cally hurt by their husband or partner before they be- came pregnant. Findings are based on the results of the 2000 DHS Pregnancy Risk As- sessment Monitory Survey (PRAMS), a continuing survey of women who have recently given birth. A total of 2,100 new mothers participated, and the survey is designed to be representative of the entire population of Ore- gon women who recently gave birth. Findings in- clude: *When asked, “During your recent pregnancy did your husband push, hit, slap, kick, choke or physi- cally hurt you in any other way,” 2.6 percent of re- spondents answered “yes.” When extended to the entire population, this represents 1,126 new mothers. *The survey found that 0.8 percent of respondents, representing 346 new mothers, said someone else had physically hurt them 124 S.

Rosenberg said that domestic abuse often be- gins before pregnancy and may continue after birth. By MEDFORD ‘MAIL TRIBUNE’ Officials give them- selves passing grades for their response to a reported bomb threat against an America West flight from Medford last month. But future threats could be handled better, officials said. “I didn’t give a failing grade in any area, but there’s always room for improvement,” said Bern Case, airport director. Federal, state and local agencies descended on the airport June 2 after Amer- ica West’s reservation desk in Reno received a bomb threat against Flight 6262, departing Medford for Phoenix. Police arrested 29-year-old Richard Allen Harrison Jr., of Klamath Falls, who has since been indicted on federal charges in the case. If convicted, he faces 10 years in prison or a $250,000 fine No bomb was discov- ered, and no one was in- jured. “Everybody did what they were supposed to do,” said Medford Police Lt. Tim George. Approximately 20 offi- cers, crews from Medford Fire Dept. and Jackson County Fire District No. 3 and emergency medical personnel responded to the airport. There were some glitches. The flight’s 30 passengers initially were- n’t moved far enough away from the aircraft, Case said. Once they learned of the bomb threat, several passengers last week said they were con- cerned that they had been kept so close to the plane. Maria Martinez, of Orange County, Calif., said that she wondered if passengers had been ex- posed to a dangerous sub- stance because they were corralled on the airport’s field with yellow tape la- beled “hazardous materi- als.” “They wouldn’t tell us nothing,” said Martinez, who had traveled to Med- ford to attend a wedding. Passengers were held for about five minutes on the airport’s field, some 300 or 400 feet away from the plane, Case said. Pas- sengers then walked far- ther away on the field and waited for 15 or 20 min- utes until a bus arrived to take them to the terminal, Case said. The airport had to call for a Rogue Valley Transportation District vehicle because the air- port’s own bus -- pur- chased from the district several years ago -- was malfunctioning, Case added. “In reality, we were moving pretty quickly,” he said. “When this went down, there were three total America West em- ployees.” Case said that it was the airline’s responsibility to inform passengers of the situation and to rebook flights. Passengers were held for approximately two hours, and their luggage was rechecked. Police in- terviewed several passen- gers to determine if any were connected to Harri- son, George said. How- ever, investigators quickly ruled out that possibility, he added. “We didn’t have any- body get all upset in spite of the fact that it was an inconvenience to many people,” Case said. The FBI and Transpor- tation Security Administra- tion (TSA) also were part- ners in the operation. How- ever, the TSA, which has operated in Medford since late last year, didn’t yet have radios capable of communicating with other agencies in an emergency, Case said.
