Criminals who obtain a person's credit card numbers can easily use them to buy goods and services, Kelly said. In fact, with the permission of the customer and prosecutors, KPTV used a credit card number found in the trash to charge a compact disc player at a department store. Kelly said police would like to see such documents shredded or news magazine was the safe deposit box number of Nike Inc. chairman Phil Knight. The search, aired this week, also turned up credit applications, customers' tax returns, and papers listing credit card numbers and balances.
KPTV, along with a private investigator, found private financial documents in unlocked trash bins at First Interstate Bank, Washington Mutual Bank, Key Bank, U.S. Bank and West One Bank. Portland police Detective Pat was jailed on manslaughter charges Friday in connection with an accident that killed a Si-letz couple in November. Belinda Rae Lacy was arrested in Seneca, on Wednesday on charges of manslaughter, assault, reckless endangering and drunken driving. She was extradited to Oregon on Friday where she was held in the Lincoln County jail.
The charges stem from a Nov. 4 accident. Lacy was driving north on Highway 229 when her car crossed the center line and collided with a pickup driven by Charles J. Wood, 65, of Siletz. Wood and his wife, Shirley, 63, were killed.
Timothy S. Lacy of Siletz, who was 32 at the time, was following Belinda Lacy. His pickup was hit by debris. Belinda Lacy and her daughter, Holly, who was 8 at the time, suffered minor injuries.

The Associated Press PORTLAND At least five major Northwest banks throw away documents containing sensitive financial information about their customers, television station KPTV reported after searching through the banks' trash. Among the items uncovered by the station's Northwest Reports Election 94 Democrat John Kitzhaber has collected a slate of endorsem*nts from law-enforcement officials in his campaign for governor. Kitzhaber last week added an endorsem*nt from the National Association of Police Organizations to earlier pledges of support from groups representing Oregon police, state troopers, sheriffs and district attorneys. "He understands the complexity of the crime problem in Oregon, and the help local law enforcement needs from the state," said Roger Morse, the association's vice president for Oregon and the Northwest. Kitzhaber's Republican opponent, Denny Smith, has made crime a central issue in his campaign.
He sponsored an initiative in 1988 that required convicted felons to serve their full prison sentences for certain violent crimes. Smith said Kitzhaber's support from the law-enforcement groups was based more on his views on public employee pensions than on crime. Kitzhaber opposes Measure 8, which would shift some public-employee pension costs from government employers to the employees. Smith backs the measure.

Police had searched late into the night Thursday after a man in a stolen pickup led officers on a 10-mile chase that ended near Macleay.
Early Friday, neighbors called police after seeing a man matching the description of the suspect in the area of 75th and Jordan streets SE. Joshua Sullivan, 21, was arrested on charges of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and driving with a suspended license. He was being held in the Marion County jail in lieu of $25,000 bail. Lt. Jon Costelow of Salem police said Sullivan is suspected of leading officers on at least three chases involving stolen vehicles in the past several weeks.
Oregon gets praise for financial reports For the second year in a row, Oregon has received national recognition for taking good care of taxpayers' money. The Government Finance Officers Association gave the state the certificate of achievement for excellence in financial reporting. The association is a nonprofit organization of government finance professionals. Judges give the award based on a high standard of clarity and a "spirit of full disclosure" in communicating financial matters to the public. Search-rescue post recruits teen-agers Salem's Search and Rescue Post 18 is seeking teen-agers for its training program this month.
Youth ages 14 to 19 learn first aid, survival and outdoor skills through the intensive training program. Teens who are interested in emergency medicine, law enforcement and forestry have a hard time gaining experience at their age, said leader Rick Ries. This program offers hands-on experience as students participate in actual search-and-rescue missions. From September until April, students take more than 250 hours of classroom and field training. No previous experience is necessary.

Keizer Salem man arrested in shooting death A 19-year-old Salem man was arrested Friday night in connection with the killing of a Keizer man Wednesday. Ernest Cleveland III was arrested after a short chase with detectives in South Salem about 8 p.m., Deputy District Attorney Tom Hart said. Cleveland was booked without bail on one count of murder at the Marion County jail.
Cleveland is suspected of shooting Raul Fernandez, 27, of 3389 Cherry Ave. NE, about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday. Fernandez died about an hour later at Salem Hospital. Fernandez was shot once in the chest in his home.
Hart said Fernandez was not a gang member. Detectives were investigating whether Cleveland was affiliated with a gang. Fernandez' fiance, Joyce Rodriguez, said Fernandez worked at a leather factory in Aurora and liked to play the keyboard. Cleveland will be arraigned Wednesday in Marion County Circuit Court.

Jerry Tack, who owns the logging company with his brother, Jim, said dead trees will be removed for 50 feet on either side of the highway, starting at the ditch line. The logging is being done under contract with the state Department of Transportation so the snags will be removed before they fall on the highway. Tack said he is hoping that some of the damaged trees will be in good enough condition to grind up for chip logs. "We might even be able to send some of the trees that died recently to the sawmill," Tack said. The work is expected to take six weeks, he said.
However, the effort to restore the insect-damaged forest is just starting, Oldham said. And although the drought conditions that fed the budworm and beetles persist, the worst of the infestation appears to be over. Andy Eglitis, an entomologist for the Sisters district, said the recent warm autumn weather of the past few years has been deadly to the worms. And in some areas, the bugs have exhausted the tree supply. Lightning fires persist in E.
Oregon The Associated Press IMNAHA Firefighters were facing dozens of new lighting-sparked wildfires in Eastern Oregon on Friday, but they reported progress against larger blazes. "We're making generally pretty good headway on all these fires," said Tommy Thompson at the Multi-Agency Coordination Center, a joint operation of state and federal fire agencies. About 30 new wildfires were reported by early Friday in Eastern Oregon. But rain in some areas kept new blazes small. The Oregon National Guard reported Friday that it had activated more than 350 Guard members to assist state and federal forestry agencies in battling the fires.
Thompson said more than 4,600 people were fighting fires in Oregon as of Friday. Officials urged Labor Day weekend travelers to be cautious, especially when in the woods. Dave Wells, a state Forestry Department spokesman who was at the scene of the Ironside fire near Prairie City, said overnight rain helped there. The fire had covered 10,210 acres and was 75 percent contained Friday, said Thompson, with full containment expected today. Containment also was expected today for the Jordan Springs fire that had covered 6,170 acres about 25 miles northeast of Burns.
In another case, Michael Daniel Robert Vega, 25, of 412 Chemawa Road Keizer, received a suspended 30-day jail term and two years probation provided he pay $1,629 restitution and do 1 60 hours of community service.

Although no timber sales are yet ready for bid on the Mckenzie district, two already have been designated on the Sisters district, said Gary Oldham, a reforestation forester on that district. The two demonstration projects will be about 100 acres each at the east end of the Sisters district in the Lost Lake area, he said.
The dead and dying firs will be cut down, and the density of the stands will be decreased.

Oregon Term Limits also has taken its proposal to Polk County, where the group has met some resistance. Polk County Commissioner Ralph Blanchard said he was not interested in putting the issue on the ballot. He said the idea amounts to an abdication of voters' responsibility to decide who to retain and who to toss out in elections.
Commissioner Mike Propes said he had not heard of people being concerned about the service length of the county's elected officials. "If a lot of people are really interested in term limits in Polk County," Propes said, "I would consider putting it on the ballot." Henderson said that, for the time being, her committee has dropped efforts at term limitations in Polk County. "If things are working there as they should, we don't need to go in and have term limits for them," she said. years probation by Judge West PROBATES Hobart A. Weddle: Final account approved.

Continued from Page 1 Overhulser said that private timber owners in the area, such as Willamette Industries, sprayed their trees with chemicals and kept most of their timber, but Hooper said that the Forest Service didn't have that option.
That is because the two chemicals most commonly effective on both spruce worms and bark beetles are carbaryl known as Sevin and bacillus thuringien-sis, known as BT. Both Sevin and BT would have killed other insects in the region that are beneficial, such as butterflies. They are the primary food of the Thompson's big-eared bat. Hooper said this bat was one of three in Oregon that is listed as threatened by both the state and federal departments of fish and wildlife. While the agency searched for ways to stop the infestation, a federal court injunction stopped all logging in the habitat of the threatened Northern spotted owl.

However, Commissioner Dennis Goecks is expected to join Owens in supporting a public vote on the matter. Lopuszynski, a Democrat, said: "We have term limits already.

From staff reports Continued from Page 1 Kristie Henderson, the committee's executive director, acknowledged that many local elected officials don't receive salaries and don't remain in office for long periods. But she said term limits are necessary anyway. "When you have career incumbency, the officials tend to get out of touch with the people," Henderson said. They can place regulations and fees on us, so it is important that they keep in touch with us." Yamhill County Commissioner Debi Owens, who is leaving office after a single four-year term, was instrumental in bringing the issue to the table in her county. "My intent was to tell people they need to get more involved in government, and having those open slots for people to run on encourages that," Owens said.
"In no way was the intent to say that anybody in office had abused any power." The Yamhill measure would limit elected county officials to two four-year terms.
