The husband of a Bend woman reported missing last week was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of murder, assault and tampering with evidence. Police are still searching for the body of Lori “Woody” Blaylock, 48, but said they have enough evidence to tie Steven Paul Blaylock, 46, to her death. He was arrested about 1 p.m. Wednesday, a day after Bend police detectives, assisted by a forensics team, served a search warrant on the Blaylocks’ home, three vehicles and a trailer. Lori Blaylock was reported Lori Blaylock missing by her co-workers at St. Charles Bend on Nov. 2 when she didn’t show up for a meeting. When interviewed by police, her husband said his wife had wandered off from their home on Northeast Genet Court on the evening of Oct. 28, but he did not notify officials because he believed she’d come back. Steven The news release from police Blaylock on Wednesday indicates that Blaylock may have been killed Oct. 27. Sgt. Brian Kindel of the Bend Police Department said investigators got information Tuesday that led them to an area where they believe they’ll find Lori Blaylock’s body. He said the area of the search is within the state, but declined to provide a more specific location. See Blaylock / A4

New York Times News Service
WASHINGTON — Federal drug regulators Wednesday unveiled 36 proposed warning labels for cigarette packages, including one showing a toe tag on a corpse and another in which a mother blows smoke on her baby. Designed to cover half the surface area of a pack or carton of cigarettes, and a fifth of any advertisements for them, the labels are intended to spur smokers to quit by providing graphic reminders of tobacco’s dangers. The labels are required under a law passed last year that gave the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate, but not ban, tobacco products for the first time. Public health officials hope that the new labels will re-energize the nation’s anti-smoking efforts, which have stalled in recent years. Some cigarette manufacturers vowed to fight the labels in federal court, saying they infringe on the companies’ property and free-speech rights. See Warnings / A3

World War II veteran Mike Dolan waves while participating in a Veterans Day parade in Bend. Dolan, who died in 2008, helped get the city’s parade started after several years’ absence in 1999. That year, he walked down Wall Street, dressed in his Veterans of Foreign Wars uniform, carrying an American flag. Since 2000, Bend has had an official Veterans Day parade.
10 a.m. Parade begins at the Warm Springs Courthouse. At 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., there will be balloon release events at the Agency Longhouse. Balloons can be purchased in honor of a veteran.

MEXICO CITY — Pablo Szmulewicz, a Mexico City artist, remembers the pitch from the newspaper hawker who held a front page with choppedup human bodies. “He told me: ‘Buy it — it’s a good story,’ ” Szmulewicz said, recalling the encounter that took place three months ago in the central state of Morelos. “I’m saying, ‘But ... these are people.’ ” Szmulewicz knew he had found a terrible inspiration. When he got home, he downloaded death-scene images from the Internet and went to work. The result is a series of paintings depicting discarded bodies, bound and blindfolded and lying in heaps; rows of severed heads — arrayed on shelves and eerily lifelike — are based on photos of real victims, bruises and all.

the holiday. But the city hadn’t had a Veterans Day Parade in years. That didn’t sit well with Mike Dolan, a veteran who served in the Pacific in World War II and had moved to Bend a few years earlier. See Dolan / A4

JINDO ISLAND, South Korea — The puppies jostled for position, gnawing on each other’s tails and rolling in the grass of the outdoor pen. The two Los Angeles policemen watched them with the cool calculation they might give suspects in a crime lineup. Officer Jeff Miller dangled a ball on a string to see if one of the seven dogs would bite — chase a wouldbe prey and pass the test. “The white female,” he said to his partner, Sgt. Doug Roller, without taking his gaze from the animal. “That one likes the ball.” NORTH KOREA The K-9 officers had Seoul come to Asia in search of a new East Yellow breed of partSOUTH Sea Sea ner.

Iraq veterans return to challenges By Erin Golden The Bulletin
Many are looking for work. Others are going back to school, putting the skills they learned in the military to use on the road to a new career. Some are gearing up for another overseas deployment — their second, third, fourth or even fifth in less than a decade. In Central Oregon and around the country, this Veterans Day will be marked by people who served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War and other conflicts. But it is also a day for an increasing number of younger veterans who have participated in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. April marked the end of the Oregon National Guard’s largest deployment in six decades, in which nearly 3,000 soldiers with the 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team spent almost
