Today in History
U.S. Navy Lt. Everett Alvarez Jr. spends his 2,000th day in
captivity in Vietnam. First taken prisoner when his plane
was shot down in 1964, he became the longest-held POW
in U.S. history. Alvarez was downed over Hon Gai during
the fi rst bombing raids against North Vietnam. He was
released in 1973 after spending over eight years in captivity.

Keeping costs under control
was the focus of a work ses-
sion the Salem-Keizer School
Board held Tuesday.
The board heard Michael
Wolfe, district chief operat-
ing offi cer, recommend the
construction manager/general
contractor method of running
the school construction project
that will be on the May ballot.
The usual method, Wolfe
noted, has been contracting
with a design professional that
designs the project and adver-
tises for bids from contractors,
with the lowest bidders deter-
mining the actual cost of the
project. This is known as the
design-bid-build method.
Under Oregon law, howev-
er, alternative methods includ-
