No charges in
Catlin Gabel sex
abuse scandal
BY NOELLE CROMBIE
The Oregonian
The Washington County
District Attorney’s Office will
not pursue charges against any-
one involved in the sex abuse
scandal that rocked Catlin Ga-
bel School, though prosecutors
did conclude that some former
administrators at the elite pri-
vate school “failed in their du-
ties” to protect students.
A two-page memo provided
Thursday to The Oregonian
in response to a public records
request spells out the decision,
citing the statute of limitations
and the deaths of two key al-
leged perpetrators of abuse.
Senior Deputy District At-
torney Andrew Pulver con-
ducted the review of the Wash-
ington County Sheriff’s Office
investigation into the allega-
tions that former teachers and
other staff members sexually

abused, groped or had sex with
students in the past four de-
cades.
The school’s own explosive
2019 report found that the
allegations involved at least
nine former teachers and staff
members at the school. It also
listed complaints or allegations
of abuse against another dozen
former faculty members and
coaches that could not be cor-
roborated. The exact number
of victims, many now in their
50s and 60s, may never be
known.
Gilion Dumas, who rep-
resents more than 20 former
Catlin Gabel students who
allege abuse by former fac-
ulty, said her clients are disap-
pointed that no one will face
prosecution largely due to the
statute of limitations. So far,
18 of her clients have sued the
school.
At Mio Sushi, even though
some tables will have to re-
main empty, Roach said offer-
ing more seats allows a little
more wiggle room when try-
ing to reduce the wait time.
“I will take anything hon-
estly,” Roach said. “After go-
ing so many months without
being able to serve any tables,
any extra seating helps.”
Some restaurants in Bend
are still holding off on let-
ting customers dine in. An
employee at Cafe Yumm in
the Old Mill District said the
fast-casual restaurant has no
immediate plans to reopen for
indoor seating.
Breweries in Bend are also
welcoming the move but some
add they have been manag-
ing the high and extreme risk
categories by offering outdoor
seating.
“Most people still choose to
be outside,” said James Watts,
owner of Silver Moon Brew-
ery. “We’ve done a great job of
creating an inviting and warm
space on the patio.”
Other restaurants are look-
ing forward to the changes.
Elayne Hodge, general man-
ager of the Original Pancake
House in Redmond, said the
switch to moderate makes her
“hopeful and optimistic” that
Deschutes County is on pace
to a return toward normality.
“Just getting into the mod-
erate range shows that we are
hopefully turning a corner,”
said Hodge. “As more people
get vaccinated in our commu-
nity, that just helps that pro-
cess along.”
Ryan

The Bulletin
For the past five weeks, the
Pancake House was open but
only permitted to seat 35 peo-
ple at a time. On weekends the
wait to get inside was an hour
and a half. Now that 65 people
can sit inside, Hodge thinks
the weekend wait time will
drop to 20 or 30 minutes.
“The wait will be reduced
immensely on the weekends,”
said Hodge.
Despite the long waits,
Hodge said the community
has been supportive.
“We have seen a really big
outpouring from the com-
munity. They have really sup-
ported us very well,” she said.
The lowering of restrictions
is certain to help gyms, ath-
letic clubs and fitness centers.
The Bend Athletic Club
in the southwest part of the
city was closed for nearly six
months over the past year
to comply with Gov. Kate
Brown’s COVID-19 orders.
The sporadic closures “signifi-
cantly impacted membership

Specifically, the superinten-
dents are asking the governor
for three changes: Reduce so-
cial distancing from 6 feet to 3
feet, eliminate the 35-square-
foot per person requirement
for classroom capacity and use
a 3 feet rule instead and ex-
pand the 100-person limit for
student contact to 200.
“We feel we can make those
changes and still keep our stu-
dents safe,” Nordquist said.
In Bend-La Pine Schools,
third grade students and
younger are back to full-time,
in-person learning, but fourth
through 12th grade students
are in a hybrid of remote and
in-person learning.
Under the current guide-
lines, the older students are
stuck in the hybrid model be-
cause most schools do not have
the space to keep students 6
feet apart, Nordquist said.
Reducing the requirement
to 3 feet would make in-person
learning possible, she said.
Nordquist points to a study
in Massachusetts that shows
no difference in COVID-19
transmission between 3 or 6
feet of distance. In addition,
the World Health Organization
updated its recommendation
to allow for a 3-foot distance,
Nordquist said.
“I think it’s important that
we look at the science beyond
our own country’s conclu-
sions,” Nordquist said.
Dr. Dean Sidelinger, the
state’s top infectious-disease
expert, said Friday that offi-
cials were looking at studies

from around the country about
school reopenings. Some indi-
cate Oregon’s mandate for stu-
dents to be spaced 6 feet apart
when they return to the class-
room could be cut to 3 feet.
No policy change is currently
in the pipeline, despite the re-
quests to Brown from school
districts.
The mix of classroom and
remote learning has been diffi-
cult for teachers, students and
families, Nordquist said.
Data from the region’s
school districts show remote
learning last year led to a neg-
ative impact on student grades
and their mental and emo-
tional health.
“We have a significant num-
ber of students who were
struggling,” Nordquist said.
Sara Johnson, Crook County
School District superintendent,
said all her district’s schools are
back to in-person learning, but
she still wanted to sign the let-
ter to the governor and show
support to the other districts.
“School districts need to
work together in order to get
all kids back in schools,” John-
son said. “There are places in
Central Oregon where it’s just
nearly impossible to bring stu-
dents back with the current
guidelines.”
Since students have returned
to school in Crook County, they
have reported feeling much bet-
ter. They also expressed how
much they were struggling with
remote learning.
“That is what motivates me
to collaborate with others to
get all kids back,” Johnson said.

Third graders at Ponderosa Elementary School in northeast Bend eat
their lunch outdoors on a snowy January day.
DeRosa is still glad the num-
bers are going higher.
“This is really exciting for
us because we have had wait-
lists for our classes,” said DeR-
osa. “The demand is high,
so we are looking forward to
accommodating more mem-
bers.”
DeRosa said even 13 peo-
ple per class won’t allow her
business to turn a profit. The
multiple lockdowns have sent
her finances into a deficit and
turning a profit could take an-
other year of stable business
operations at full capacity, she
said.
Until that time she is happy
just to give Bendites an outlet
to work out with others.
“People are excited to get
back in the gym. It has im-
proved their mood and overall
well-being to work out with a
community,” said DeRosa. “It
has improved both physical
and mental health.”

level,” said Kip Heilman, the
club’s manager.
At the moderate risk level,
the club can now have 400
members working out in the
135,000-square-foot facility.
But Heilman said the loss of
so many members means that
he doesn’t expect to have more
than 40 or 50 people in the
building at a time.
Still, Heilman is pleased
that the county risk level
dropped and expects upward
progress.
“I remain hopeful that we as
a community continue to do
what we can to moderate our
exposure and subsequently
allow more businesses to ex-
pand reopening for all cus-
tomers,” said Heilman.
Tread Tabata, which has
spin, treadmill, and workout
