Shane Darrell Kimball, 53, was arraigned Friday on 35 criminal counts related to the alleged sexual abuse of two girls from April 2006 to July 2017. He’s being held without bail at the Deschutes County jail. Kimball is charged with nine counts of first-degree Risk Continued from A1 sodomy, eight counts of first-de- gree rape, 13 counts of first-degree sexual abuse, Kimball four of sec- ond-degree sodomy and one of strangulation. He has a plea hearing sched- uled April 2. Kimball has worked in Red- mond as a handyman and in manufacturing, according to Bulletin archives. — Bulletin staff report 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 Instructor Megan Susnjara, left, leads a fitness class Fri- day at Tread Tabata in Bend. 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 Brennecke/ 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.

First Missionary Baptist Church 21129 Reed Market Rd. Bend, OR 97702 541-382-6081 Schools Continued from A1 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 e e Reporter: 541-617-7820, kspurr@bendbulletin.com Reporter: 541-617-7818, mkohn@bendbulletin.com Christian Science Baptist 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. e e Adventist 541-306-1323 60670 Brookswood Blvd. Bend, Oregon 97702 www.cascadeor.adventistchurch.org/ 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.” Central Oregon Worship Directory For more information, visit our website:  ChristianScienceChurchBend.org  or email our Church Clerk at fccsbend@gmail.com Submitted photo 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 classes at a new facility on Bend’s east side, is increasing its class size from eight partic- ipants to 13.
