5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2016 Ammon Bundy: Oregon refuge ‘belongs to the people’ By TERRENCE PETTY and STEVEN DUBOIS Associated Press PORTLAND — The leader of an armed group that took over an Oregon wildlife preserve to protest federal land policies is remaining de¿ant behind bars. While Ammon Bundy on Tuesday again urged four holdouts at the refuge to leave, he said local residents should control the federally owned property and 8.6. of¿cials do not belong there. Bundy said the FBI and Oregon State Police surrounding Malheur National Wildlife Refuge are leading an “armed occupation,” words typically reserved for the ranchers and others that launched the standoff on Jan. 2. He said the refuge “belongs to the people,” according to a statement read by his attorney. “I am requesting that the remaining protesters go home now so their lives are not taken,” Bundy’s statement said. He is among 11 people arrested in connection with the standoff, whose adherents have called federal land restrictions burdensome and demanded the government turn over public lands to local control. Many Molly Young/The Oregonian Nick K. Geranios/AP Photo Jennifer Williams, who owns a small ranch outside of Burns, said she arrived at the demonstrations to send a message that the standoff supporters don’t represent the voice of the community outside the Harney County Court- house in Burns, Monday. Hundreds gathered to protest and support the armed occupation of a national wildlife preserve. A makeshift roadside memorial for rancher LaVoy Fini- cum stands on a highway north of Burns on Sunday. Fin- icum was killed Tuesday night in a confrontation with the FBI and Oregon State Police on a remote road. Four peo- ple occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge held their position Sunday. They have demanded that they be allowed to leave without being arrested. were taken into custody during a traf¿c stop last week that left one occupier dead. All face a felony conspiracy charge of using intimidation to prevent federal employees from their work. Bundy will stay behind bars while his attorneys build their case that the standoff was intended as a “peaceful protest and civil disobedience.” A federal judge has allowed a couple of others to go free pending trial. Another court hearing in the case is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. Meanwhile, the handful of remaining occupiers offered no signs they are ready to leave. They gave an interview Monday on an online talk show on a YouTube channel called Revolution Radio. “We’re still here,” said David Fry, adding that the four hope sympathizers will come out to back them up. “We need the American people to get the courage to stand up.” Bundy pleaded for them to go home and aligned with his father, Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, on demanding federal and state authorities clear out of the area. The elder Bundy, who was involved in a high-pro¿le 2014 standoff with the govern- ment over grazing rights, sent a certi¿ed letter to the local sheriff Monday, saying the refuge should be placed under local control. Unlike his son, Cliven Bundy has not called for the last occupiers to leave. The Oregonian reported the Rev. Franklin Graham had spoken with the remaining occupiers. Graham spokesman Todd Shearer told the newspaper that the religious leader had communicated by phone with the four occupiers and federal of¿cials but Graham had “no comment” beyond that. The last four occupiers had asked Graham to help them negotiate their departure. They have said they want assurances they won’t be arrested. Federal prosecutors are building a case against Ammon Bundy and his followers to show that the occupation was a threat to residents and federal employees. Prosecutors say the group, once numbering a couple dozen, was ready to use violence to hold on to the refuge. The standoff also has created divisions among resi- dents that will take time to heal. Many locals want the occupation to end and are eager to get on with their lives. But others sympathize with Bundy’s complaints, which are part of a long-running dispute over federal management of public lands in the West. Some have rallied in support and opposition to the standoff, the latter often citing the death of an Arizona rancher by police. Robert “LaVoy” Finicum was killed Jan. 26 during a confrontation with FBI agents and Oregon State Police on a remote road. Federal authorities have released aerial video and said Finicum was going for a gun in his jacket pocket. Bundy’s relatives say the shooting was not justi¿ed.

She started playing pickleball about 12 years ago while visiting Palm Springs, California, and has been playing ever since. Lane said the sport is easy to learn, “so much easier than tennis.” Lauren and Paul Fisher, of Seaside, who play tennis recreationally, agreed after playing for the ¿rst time. “I thought it was great,” Lauren Fisher said. “I think anybody could come in and have fun.” Pickleball provides a faster learning curve. Unlike tennis, where a person must play a lot before it becomes enjoy- able, “you can have fun very quickly,” she said. Pickleball also is designed to be a social game, Lane said. With three courts, the Camp Rilea gymnasium is a good facility for a community THE DAILY ASTORIAN W EDNESDAY E VENING A L (2) (3) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) KATU KRCW KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (3) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) program, she added. She also was given storage space in the building for the duration of the program. What’s in a name Pickleball originated in the Seattle area in the 1960s. Joel Pritchard, a congressman at the time, and his friend Bill Bell wanted to play badminton with their two families, but they could not ¿nd enough equipment. They improvised, replacing the badminton rackets with wooden ping- pong paddles and using perfo- rated plastic balls. With the help of Barney McCallum, the trio of friends created rules for their game. There are two theories regarding the name’s origin, and it is possible both are true. McCallum claimed the Pritchard family chose to name their newly invented game pickleball, because their cocker spaniel, Pickles, often ran off with the ball. Pritchard’s wife, Joan, claimed she started “calling the game pickleball because ‘the combination of different sports reminded me of the pickle boat in crew, where oarsmen were chosen from the leftovers of other boats,” the website states. The sport caught on in the community, among neigh- bors and friends. The USA Pickleball Association, orga- nized in 194, is now the of¿- cial promoter and governing body for the game, which has experienced an increase in popularity over the past few years. In pickleball, the ball is served underhand, without bouncing it from the court, and diagonally to the oppo- nent’s service zone. Points are scored by the serving side only and occur when the opponent fails to return the ball or hits the ball out of bounds, also known as faults. The server continues to serve, alternating service courts, until the server faults. A game is won by the ¿rst side to reach 11 points but will continue until won by a two-point margin. Pickleball on the North Coast The Seaside recreation district covers liability insurance for the program and Lane pays rent for the facility. Last summer, the district offered a few sessions of pickleball on Wednesday mornings for about a month at Seaside Heights Elemen- tary School for people of all ages. The district is always looking for ways to “engage the community more,” espe- cially during the winter months when outdoor activ- ities are more dif¿cult to provide, Fitness and Special Events Manager Grace Smith said. They decided to hold it on Saturdays this time to make it more accessible to those who work during the week. The pickleball program was chosen because it is a good recreational activity for LISTINGS participants of many ages and something fairly new to the area, Smith said. Only one site in Seaside is listed on the national website as a place to play, and that is the Thousand Trails’ Seaside RV Resort. Lane said she believes offering pickleball programs and courts — which have the same dimensions as doubles badminton courts — will make this region even more of a destination area. “The Oregon Coast already is a destination point and this will be another attraction,” she said. In order to increase the sport’s presence in the area, “we would need people to come out and try it for the ¿rst time,” Smith said. After people try it once, they are likely to play again, she added. Balls and paddles are provided. The cost is $5 per person for three hours of play; only cash is accepted. Camp Rilea is located at 333168 Patriot Way in Warrenton.
