By GOSIA WOZNIACKA Associated Press Court backs defendants who want to travel while on probation PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon Court of Appeals has issued two opinions favorable to defendants who challenged geographic restrictions placed on them while on probation. One case involves Paula Bell, a former Oregon State Police employee who stole money from an evidence room to feed a gambling addiction. As part of her sentence, she was prohibited from leaving Lincoln &RXQW\ZLWKRXWSHUPLVVLRQZKLOHRQ¿YH\HDUVRI probation. The Appeals Court said Thursday the restriction was overly broad and not reasonably related to her crime. Also Thursday, the court struck down a requirement that a woman convicted of stalking be barred from Lincoln County north of Cape Foulweather.

Kate Brown. Power from the project, proposed by Seattle-based Principle Power, would be more than four times as expensive as electricity from onshore wind turbines in the Columbia River Gorge, according to the Jan. 15 report obtained by the EO Media Group/Pamplin Media Group Capital *RYHUQRU¶V 2I¿FH DOORZHG the public to attend the meetings but did not adver- tise their times or locations. Utility representatives said during the second meeting, in November, they did not want to purchase power from the project. Kevin Banister, Principle Power’s vice president of business development in the Americas and Asia, said the company was still considering how to proceed following the committee’s recommendation. “I think we need to take some time to digest what it all means,” Banister said. “But it certainly doesn’t make it easier for the project indicated that the North- west’s historically low-cost electricity would make it GLI¿FXOW IRU DQ\ XWLOLW\ WR engage in a (power purchase agreement) with an offshore wind resource, given that utilities are generally required to procure the lowest-cost and lowest-risk resources on behalf of their customers,” the governor’s staff wrote in the report, which they described as a summary of the committee recommendations.
