Bundy: ‘We will continue to stand’
PORTLAND (AP) — The
leader of a federal wildlife
refuge takeover in Oregon
said his group will “continue
to stand” after he and six
others were acquitted last
week of charges in the case.
Ammon Bundy told The
Oregonian/OregonLive
in
a phone call from the Mult-
nomah County Detention
Center on Monday that it was
their duty to stand.
“We did it peacefully,”
Bundy said. “We did it
legally, and the jury’s verdicts
confirmed that.”
Bundy said the trial ended
in “another example of the
government not following
the law” when U.S. marshals
arrested his attorney for chal-
lenging the judge’s order to
keep him in custody.
B u n d y
remains in jail
because he still
faces charges
in the 2014
standoff at his
father’s Nevada
ranch. Bundy
said he expects
he and brother
Ryan Bundy will be moved to
Nevada on Tuesday.
U.S. marshals in Las Vegas
wouldn’t comment about
plans for the move.
Ammon Bundy’s attorney
in Las Vegas, Daniel Hill, said
he had no information about
when the Bundy brothers
would arrive.
But Hill said that once
they do, he’ll ask the court
to release Ammon Bundy
pending trial in February.

Oregon snowpack
Idaho, testified that he
proposed the armed takeover
to draw attention to the case of
two Oregon ranchers that he
believes were unjustly impris-
oned for setting fire to public
land and to protest federal
mismanagement of vast tracts
of lands in the West.
He called for prosecutors
to drop charges against other
occupiers set for February
trial on the same conspiracy
charge.
Prosecutors have not
said whether they will drop
charges against the remaining
defendants. Eleven people
previously pleaded guilty to
the conspiracy charge.
“There was no conspiracy,”
Bundy said. “It would be
a waste of court time and
resources.”
“We did it
peacefully. We
did it legally, and
the jury’s verdicts
confirmed that.”

Ryan Bundy is serving
as his own lawyer. Angela
Dows, an attorney appointed
by the court to advise him,
declined to comment without
his authorization.
Ammon Bundy said in
Oregon that he wasn’t allowed
any contact with his brother
on Halloween, Ryan Bundy’s
44th birthday.
“It’s par for the course,” he
said.

ASHLAND (AP) —
Forecasters are predicting
a cooler, wetter weather
pattern for the Pacific
Northwest this winter.
The Mail Tribune
reports that the National
Weather Service says there
is a 70 percent chance that
there'll be winter conditions
not seen in the Siskiyou
Mountain range for five
years. That would be good
news for the Mt. Ashland
Ski Area.
La Nina weather patterns
typically bring a good
snowpack to the region,
and Mt. Ashland ski area
manager Hiram Towle says
he hopes that will hold true
this year.
The ski area plans to
open Dec. 10, but it might
open early if conditions
allow.
The weather service says
the long-range forecast,
however, calls for warmer-
than-average temperatures
for the next three months.
Feds targeted adoptee because of crimes
Richeson said Crapser
was arrested by ICE on Feb.
8 after serving a 60-day
sentence for menacing and
attempted coercion. Walls
said those crimes resulted
from Crapser “spending 25
months incarcerated with
untreated PTSD.”
His immigration woes
mirror those of thousands
of others. The National
Korean American Service &
Education Consortium says
an estimated 35,000 inter-
country adoptees lack U.
S. citizenship. It is backing
legislation in Congress to
address that issue.
Seven years after Crapser
and his older sister were
adopted, their parents aban-
doned them. The foster care
system separated Crapser
when he was 10 from his
sister. He was housed at
several foster and group
homes. When Crapser
was 12, he moved in with
Thomas and Dolly Crapser,
their biological son, two
other adoptees and several
foster children.
There, he was physically
abused, Crapser has said.
In 1991, the couple was
arrested on charges including
physical child abuse.
Federal
immigration
officials say they became
aware of Crapser after he
applied for a green card for
permanent residency.
By ANDREW SELSKY

SALEM — A man who
was adopted as a 3-year-old
from South Korea almost
four decades ago and flown
to America is in detention
awaiting
deportation
because of “the severity of
his criminal history,” U.S.
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement said.
Adam
Crapser
was
ordered deported last week
back to a country that is
completely alien to him. No
one sought U.S. citizenship
for him as he grew up in
America, abandoned by one
adoptive family, thrown into
the foster care system and
winding up with abusive
parents. The lack of citi-
zenship made him liable for
deportation, especially after
he built a criminal record.
ICE prioritizes immigra-
tion enforcement resources
“on individuals who pose a
threat to national security,
public safety, and border
security,” Rose M. Richeson,
spokeswoman for ICE’s
Seattle field office, said in a
statement.
Richeson cited Adam
Crapser’s criminal history,
including convictions for
assault and being a felon
in possession of a weapon.
Crapser’s
immigration
attorney said Monday that

In this March 2015, file photo, Korean adoptee Adam
Crapser, left, poses with daughters, Christal and Chris-
tina and his wife, Anh Nguyen, in the family’s living
room in Vancouver, Wash. Crapser, who was adopted as
a 3-year-old from South Korea almost four decades ago
and flown to America, is in detention awaiting depor-
tation because of “the severity of his criminal history,”
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has said.
her client’s 1994 burglary
offense — which served as
a predicate for the “felon in
possession” conviction —
was for breaking back into
the home of his criminally
abusive second set of parents
to retrieve two things that
had come with him from the
Korean orphanage.
Crapser has untreated
post-traumatic
stress
disorder “from the trauma
and abuse he suffered as a
child,” said attorney Lori
Walls.
“Mr. Crapser served his
time for his offenses,” Walls
said in an email to The Asso-
ciated Press. “Mr. Crapser
was eligible for and deserved
another chance.”
The decision by a federal
immigration judge last
week not to give Crapser a
reprieve for deportation was
a big blow to his supporters,
including some Korean
Americans, several of whom
were also adopted as babies
or children.
Crapser decided not to
appeal because the condi-
tions in the immigration
detention center in Tacoma,
Washington, where he has
been held since February, are
so bad, his supporters say.

PORTLAND (AP) —
The family of a 77-year-old
man who died after falling
while trying to step onto a
deck has agreed to settle its
lawsuit against a Seaside
vacation condominium.
The Oregonian/
OregonLive reports that
the family of David Lloyd
Roach dropped its $4.3
million lawsuit in exchange
for $37,500. The civil trial
had been set to start last
week in Multnomah County
Circuit Court.
Roach was renting
several units in the
oceanfront vacation condo
complex in August 2013
when he tried to step from
the grass onto the deck
of one of the units. The
deck was 14 inches off the
ground. Roach stubbed
his toe on the deck, fell
backward and struck his
head. He died as a result of
his injuries.

BEND (AP) — Wildlife
officials in Oregon are
looking for ways to prevent
pneumonia in bighorn sheep.
The Oregon Department
of Fish and Wildlife has
placed monitoring collars
on dozens of wild sheep
and will collar more
in the coming months,
reported The Bulletin. The
department is keeping
track of the animals’ deaths
and completing blood and
genetic testing.
Bacteria picked up from
domestic sheep and goats
can lead to pneumonia in
bighorn sheep, a disease that
has killed a large number
of the animals in the West
in the past few years. The
respiratory pathogen doesn't
cause the domestic animals
to get sick.

— Founded Oct. 16, 1875 —
Oregon biologists
research bighorn
sheep illness
it's pretty devastating,” said
Autumn Larkins, assistant
district wildlife biologist
and sheep capture boss for
ODFW.
Larkins said researching
the bacterial species is
a priority because it has
the potential to wipe out
the entire state's bighorn
population. Just last year,
it caused a herd of 150 in
Malheur County’s Leslie
Gulch to drop to only 30.
Nevada officials killed
about two dozen wild sheep
earlier this year as a way
to keep the disease from
spreading. Similar kills have
taken place in Washington,
Utah and Canada in the past
to protect healthy herds.
Bighorn sheep didn't
evolve with the bacteria,
which can cause pneumonia
with infected lungs,
coughing and runny eyes
and noses. Female sheep that
survive the illness can also
pass it on to babies that can't
survive it, said state wildlife
veterinarian Colin Gillin.
