Jason Evers had firm friends, now in shock By Cindy Powers and Nick Budnick The Bulletin

REDMOND — Helen Wohlen loves Jason Evers so much that she’s willed him her Redmond home. The two aren’t related, but Wohlen, 73, said Evers has been like a grandson to

her. He brought her along on vacations to Mexico and Hawaii. He’s redone her yard, tinted her windows and fixed her computer problems. And whenever she checks her e-mail, there is inevitably a new note from Evers. So when she heard Friday that the for-

mer Bend-based regional manager for the Oregon Liquor Control Commission was locked up in Idaho and heard later he was suspected of stealing the identity of a child killed 28 years ago, Wohlen was incredulous. See Evers / A6

SCHOOL SHORTFALL

Jason Evers was quiet about his past, friends say.

A principal goal: Make learning fun for the kids R.E. Jewell Elementary School Principal Bruce Reynolds works last week with students Hallie Beaver, left, and Lindsey Petrie. Reynolds, who has been the principal at Jewell Elementary since 2003, didn’t originally want to get into administration because he worried he’d lose touch with students.

Redmond academy may affect the budget Expansion could keep union from making concessions to the district By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

If the Redmond School District allows Redmond Proficiency Academy, a charter school in the city, to expand beyond its expected enrollment, the local union may refuse to make concessions during the upcoming budget negotiations. What’s at issue is whether the district should limit how many of its students enroll at RPA, whose staff members are not union members. How that question is answered will have a direct effect on the district’s budget. Next year, the district already faces at least a $1.2 million budget shortfall, and potential cuts could include pay freezes or staff reductions. RPA classes meet Monday through Saturday, at the school building and online. The school is also proficiency-based, meaning that its curriculum focuses on specific state standards. Students can prove proficiency in any number of ways, including internships, presentations and tests. See Charter / A4

“With all this focus on standards and testing and achievement, here school is still fun.” — Bruce Reynolds, Oregon’s elementary school principal of the year By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

W

hen an administrator first approached Bruce Reynolds a decade ago to ask him if he’d consider becoming a principal, he

said no. Reynolds, 53, worried he’d miss the dayto-day joys of working with children, or

lose touch with the reason he’d become an educator. But colleagues and friends say that what makes him a top administrator is his connection to children and continued interest in improving education for students. Those qualities, they say, are part of the reason the R.E. Jewell Elementary School principal was named Oregon’s elementary principal of the year.

“He has this great vision, and he can see the big picture, but he’s not afraid to wipe tables after breakfast,” said Office Manager Kristen McGee. Reynolds started in 1978 as a fifth-grade teacher at Kenwood School in Bend. He spent 15 years there, then moved to Elk Meadow Elementary, where he worked as a teacher and behavior specialist and then as an assistant principal for more than 10 years. He’s been principal at Jewell Elementary since 2003. Under his watch, Jewell has undergone myriad schedule and systems changes, and students have steadily improved their test scores.

The two former Mexican seminarians had gone to the Vatican in 1998 to personally deliver a case recounting decades of sexual abuse by one of the most powerful priests in the

Roman Catholic Church, the Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado. As they left, they ran into the man who would hold Maciel’s fate in his hands, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, and kissed his ring. The encounter was no accident. Ratzinger wanted to meet them, witnesses later said,

and their case was soon accepted. But in little more than a year, Ratzinger — the future Pope Benedict XVI — halted the inquiry. “It isn’t prudent,” he told a Mexican bishop, according to two people who later talked to the bishop. See Vatican / A5
