One morning last month, Bar- tholomew had to get to Oakland for a dog chasing goats; then to Riddle, where senior services was concerned about the welfare of an elderly couple’s dog; then toYon- calla for a pit bull that bit a 15-year- old girl; then Myrtle Creek for a report of dogs terrorizing humans on Chickering Street. By the time Bartholomew got to Myrtle Creek, the dogs were gone and another call from elsewhere in Douglas County (5,134 square miles) had come in. The Animal Control division has to prioritize because one man can’t be everywhere at once. Bartholomew, who in his career has seen his divi- sion shrink from five deputies, says calls, particularly those involving canines, are increasing. GARRETTANDREWS The News-Review Turn to DOGS, page A7 MICHAEL SULLIVAN/The News-Review Douglas County Sheriff Deputy Lee Bartholomew in Roseburg Thursday. Russia caught suspect on wiretap W ASHINGTON — Russian authorities secretly recorded a telephone conversation in 2011 in which one of the Boston bombing suspects vaguely discussed jihad with his mother, officials said Saturday, days after the U.S. government finally received details about the call. In another conversation, the mother of now-dead bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was recorded talking to someone in southern Russia who is under FBI investigation in an unrelated case, officials said. The conversations are significant because, had they been revealed earlier, they might have been enough evidence for the FBI to initiate a more thorough investigation of the Tsarnaev family. As it was, Russian authorities told the FBI only that they had concerns that Tamerlan and his mother were religious extremists. With no additional information, the FBI conducted a limited inquiry and closed the case in June 2011. BOSTON BOMBING Tsarnaev’s vaguely discussed jihad in phone calls, though didn’t talk of U.S. bomb plot North Korea charges Wash. man in overthrow plot PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea announced Saturday that an American detained for nearly six months is being tried in the Supreme Court on charges of plotting to overthrow the government, a crime that could draw the death penalty if he is convicted. The case involving Kenneth Bae, who has been in North Korean custody since early November, further complicates already fraught relations between Pyongyang and Washington following weeks of heightened rhetoric and tensions. The trial mirrors a similar situation in 2009, when the U.S. and North Korea were locked in a standoff over Pyongyang’s decision to launch a long-range rocket and conduct an un- derground nuclear test. At the time, North Ko- rea had custody of two American journalists, whose eventual release after being sentenced to 12 years of hard labor paved the way for diplomacy following months of tensions. Bae, a Washington state resident, was ar- rested in early November in Rason, a special economic zone in North Korea’s far northeast- ern region bordering China and Russia, accord- ing to official state media.

I used to like to get out and hunt but I couldn’t see to do that anymore. I was apprehensive and nervous before I went in but Dr. Weston’s staff did a good job of explaining everything to me and made me feel very comfortable. The first day after the surgery I remember looking up at the sky and I noticed that it was about the most beautiful blue I had ever seen. All of the colors were so much brighter and I can see deer now. It was a huge difference. If I had it to do over again I would have never put the surgery off as long as I did. I am very happy with the results.” -Wallace Garland
