Although the Cornet fire leftscars on Stices Gulch, properlyowners may see a better-lookingproperty tax bill this fall.

On Tuesday Troy Lepley, adata analyst and appraiser forthe Baker CountyAssessor's0$ce, was busy surveying thedamage to properties in SticesGulch about 12 miles south ofBaker City.

Rather than waiting untilthe regular six-year cycle toappraise the properties, CountyAssessor Kerry Savage decidedto perform fire assessments onproperties affected by the light­ning-sparked blazes that burnedacross more than 115,000 acresin Baker County in August.

"iSavagel wants to do what'sright and what's fair," Lepleysaid.'We're just trying to dowhat should be done."

The county can't reverse thedamage caused by wildfires,but it can help with properlytax bills by reducing properlyvalues to account for the loss ofstructures.

Lepley said the Assessor's

Troy Lepley visits a home and grounds apparently untouchedby fire because property was made defensible.

0$ce hopes to spare properlyowners fiom having to appealtheir tax bills. Owners naturallyw ould object to being taxed forthe value of a home or outbuild­ing that was destroyed.

Even if a structure wasn'tburned to the ground, its valuemight be reduced.

'The house may not haveburned, but it may have smokedamage," Lepley said.

Other fire damage such asblistered paint might also lowerthe value of a structure, andthus the tax bill.

Lepley said that when hearrives at a properly to assessthe damage and reappraise thevalue, he hopes to talk to theowner, who can point out dam­age that might not be obvious.

Durkee mankilled in crashon freeway

By Chris Collinsccollins©bakercityherald.com

Lisa BrittonFor the Baker Clty Herald

Eloise Dielman once said sheliked to do her work"quietlyand sneakily," but her influence Dielmanon a generation of Baker HighSchool English students and on aspiring writ­ers of all ages wa s far too great to be hidden.

Dielman died Monday in Baker City aftera six-year battle with ovarian cancer.

She was 75.Eloise spent her life teaching others.Even in death, she couldn't pass up the op­

portunity to offer one last lesson.In closing her own obituary, which her

husband of 55 years, Gary, said she wrote justlast week, Eloise directed other women to aCenters for Disease Control and Preventionwebsite detailing symptoms of ovarian cancer.Go to www.cdc.gov/cancer/ovarian/basic info/symptoms.htm for more information. Earlydetection is key to a successful outcome in

That last lesson caps a lifetime of teachingand inspiring others. Dielman was honored asBaker County's Legacy Woman of the Year in2003 in recognition ofher efforts as an educa­tor, a writer and a community leader.

Eloise's prowess with words has touchedmany lives — from teaching students to edit­ing manuscripts to writing descriptions forthe Baker County Library catalog to ensurepeople can find the book they want.

A Durkee man died in a motorcycle crashon Interstate 84 Tuesday night.

Dwight W. Rosin, 66, was killed in thesingle-vehicle accident just before 10 p.m.near Milepost 321, about 15 m iles southeastof Baker City, according to Oregon StatePolice.

Rosin was riding a 2013 Harley-Davidsoneastbound when it drifted off the shoulder foran unknown reason, according to police. Themotorcycle hit a concrete barrier, throwingRosin onto the freeway. Police believe Rosinwas hit by at least one vehicle traveling onthe freeway.

The motorcycle remained upright, crossedthe center median and into the westboundlanes where it was hit by a 1993 Ford F-150pickup truck driven by Wayne R. Bonderer,52, of Winnemucca, Nevada. Bonderer andhis passenger, April Bonderer, were not hurt.

"She catalogued themedia for years," said AlethaBonebrake, retired librarianof the Baker County LibraryDistrict.

Those media includedbooks, movies, DVDs andCDs. Eloise input the descrip­tions for each in a specificformat that captured variouskeywords used in a search.

To do this, Eloise first hadto learn the proper proce­dure, including commonheadings assigned by theLibrary of Congress.

"She studied the books andlearned the complex rules,"Bonebrake said."It's a hugejob, very technical."

And Eloise did it all as avolunteer.

"She was amazing," Bone­brake said.

Eloise also filled in aslibrarian for a tim e at BakerHigh School, where shetaught English from 1973 to1995.

"Her library skills weretop-notch," Bonebrake said."She was so committed todoing things right."

Bonebrake also asked Elo­ise to proofread the library'sfliers and brochures.

"Whenever I wrote some­

thing that was criticallyimportant, I'd have her proofand review it," she said."Imade sure she looked it overfor me, and gave me advice."

But theirs wasn't justan acquaintance based onproofreading.

"She was a great friend,"Bonebrake said."She wasamazing, really amazing."

During her teaching careerat BHS, Eloise served aschair of the English De­partment for many years.Students voted her teacher ofthe year several times.

When Eloise retired in1995, members of the 1994­95 BHS news stafFhonoredher with a tribute publishedin the 1995 edition of"TheNugget," the high school an­nual and thanked her for thelessons she had taught them.

''We, the students of thePaw Print Staff, will missher very much next year aswe continue scraping anddigging up articles to reportupon. We appreciate thegreat reporting qualitiesshe has instilled in us," the

students wrote in an articlepublished under a photo ofEloise helping to produceone of the last editions of thestudent newspaper underher supervision.

Eloise also served as co­director of the Oregon Writ­ing Project at EOU, includingone year as the program'sdirector.

She continued her careeras an educator by turningher attention to the collegelevel, teaching full timeand part time in the EOUdistance education programand for Blue Mountain Com­munity College.

She also took her dedica­tion from the classroom tothe boardroom with serviceon both the BMCC Boardand the Baker School Board.

Eloise was a member ofthe BMCC Board from 2000to 2003. Her service on theBaker School Board spannedfrom 1999 to 2003. Sheserved as chairwoman ofboth boards during the 2002­2003 fiscal year.

Sandra Emery, who hasworked as an office specialistat BMCC's Baker Countycenter for the past 14 years,remembers the positive wayEloise approached her cancer

"She was so positive­

even when she was so sick,"Emery said."She was astrong woman."

Emery also admired Eloisefor the support and encour­agement she provided herstudents.

"I know she loved teach­ing," Emery said."She lovedthe people and she was realkind-hearted."

Even after she discontin­ued her teaching efforts atBMCC, Eloise would drop bythe office occasionally whileout walking her dog.

Emery said she and Eloisealso shared an interest incars, and it was the Diel­mans' love for their ToyotaPrius that convinced Emeryand her husband to get oneof their own.

"They just couldn't sayenough good about the

Prius," Emery said.Eloise even promoted the

car as a good vehicle to takecamping. By folding the backseat down, the car providedsuitable sleeping space, shetold the Emerys.

Emery recalls visiting withEloise after she lost her hairduring cancer treatments.

"She wore her cute littlestocking caps," Emery said."And when her hair grewback, it was so pretty."

In addition to her own waywith words, Eloise fostereda love of writing for manyother local writers, includinga small group that meetsonce a week.

When Jessie Ritch joinedthe group, she asked Eloiseabout her expectations — didshe require proper grammarand other fine points of the

English language?"She said,'I just want you

to write.' She always encour­aged you," Ritch said."Thatwriting group was really im­portant to her, to keep peoplewriting their stories."

Their regular meetingplace was the library, but inthe past month the groupmet at Eloise's home.

"She made us promise tokeep it going. We're going totry," Ritch said."She'll neverbe replaced — she left atremendous big hole. She be­came a very, very dear friendof mine."

Denny Grosse joined thewriting group four years ago,and also worked with Eloisein the Baker County Histori­cal Society.

Thank you so much for your article onthe great firefighters who took time andcaring for the burnt rabbit and two babykittens. I was so touched they took time tohelp. I don't know the outcome, but I was soimpressed by the firefighters taking a few

minutes later to help the little animals.Then a few days later I was so saddened

by the death of the three brave firefighters.It showed how brave they all are. Thankyou, fellows, and thank you Baker CityHerald.

The saddest part of the following question is thatwe even need to ask it.

Does Oregon's state government care more aboutempowering federal bureaucrats than it does aboutthe ranchers and farmers whose operations contrib­ute billions of dollars annually to the state economy?

We don't blame the Oregon Cattlemen's Associa­tion for posing that query.

The issue revolves around which waterways thefederal government has the authority to regulateunder the 1972 Clean Water Act.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)in late June opined that its authority under theClean Water Act extends to "waters of the UnitedStates" rather than only to major rivers and lakesdefined as "navigable."

This is a significant change.Waters of the United States, based on the EPA's

proposed definition, could include tributaries to navi­

gable waterways.The definition is suKciently murky, moreover, that

it's not implausible to believe the EPA could claim

jurisdiction over seasonal waters such as irrigationditches.

Ranchers and farmers, naturally, worry that theEPA's potentially expanded authority could threaten

their access to water, a commodity every bit as vitalto a ranch or farm as it is to a person.

Thirteen states, most in the West, are challengingthe EPA's definition in court. In late August a federalcourt in North Dakota (one of the 13 plaintif states)

granted an injunction preventing the EPA fromusing its definition of waters of the United States toenforce the Clean Water Act in those states.

We're disappointed that Oregon is not among

those 13 states.But that's hardly the worst of it.Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum didn't

merely decline to join those states in defending avital industry against an overzealous executivebranch, which insists on redefining its jurisdictioneven though the U.S. House of Representatives boththis year and last passed a resolution calling for theEPA to withdraw such a proposal.

Instead, Rosenblum went along with six otherstates and the District of Columbia in filing a legalmotion supporting the EPA's definition and its ex­

panded authority to regulate water.Rosenblum did so with the support of Gov. Kate

Brown and oKcials from the Oregon Department ofEnvironmental Quality and Division of State Lands,said Ellen Klem, a spokeswoman in the AttorneyGeneral's oKce.

We're not suggesting that Rosenblum is obligated

to side with the agriculture industry on every legal

Editorial komThe Oregonian:

At this time last year, Or­egonians were talking aboutthe possibility oflegalizingrecreational pot. These days,they're looking at marijuanamilestones.

In less than a month,adults will be able to buysmall amounts of recreationalweed at medical dispensa­ries, a stopgap measure thatwill help meet demand untilthe retail system is fully upand running. In November,legalization supporters willcelebrate the one-year an­niversary of the passage ofMeasure 91. And while theimplementation of the mea­sure has had its rough patch­es, a third milestone validatesthe 847,865 Oregonians whovoted "yes" last year.

That milestone actuallybelongs to Washington, wherevoters backed legalizationin 2012. Still, it's a usefulreminder of what Oregonianswould be doing in comingyears if Measure 91 hadn'tpassed: They'd be buying a lotof recreational marijuana atretailers on the Washingtonside of the Columbia Riverand driving it home. Thisphenomenon is no surpriseand was, in fact, a compel­

bolster the EPA's case.By doing so Rosenblum, whether intentionally

or not, implies either that ranchers' and farmers'concerns about the EPA's broadened authority areexaggerated, or worse, that such fears are legitimatebut that giving the EPA more regulatory power isworthwhile even if one of Oregon's most importantindustries sufers as a result.

million.

Highway 97. Klickitat Countyis conveniently located on thenorthern bank of the Colum­bia River.

Location, surely, is alsoresponsible for the gaudynumbers posted by retailersin Clark County, where per­capita sales, at $56.93, weresecond only those in KlickitatCounty. Clark County's sevenretailers also serve the Port­land market, which seems tobe quite healthy. The averageClark County retailer postedsales of $3.5 million duringthis period, which is 24 per­cent higher than the averageretailer tally in runner-upBenton County. Only KingCounty, dominated by Seattle,generated total sales in ex­cess of Clark County's $24.6

Washington's sales statis­tics point to strong demandfor recreational marijuana inOregon and underscore howeasy it is for Oregonians tobuy it at legally sanctionedretailers ... in Washington.In retrospect, legalization inOregon was inevitable. Thealternative merely createdhassles for Oregonians andprohibited them fiom spend­ing their marijuana moneyin Oregon — at least withoutregistering for a medical

marijuana card or buying&om a dealer. Arguments formaintaining a ban in Oregonwould have weakened as thestate of Washington failed,year after year, to slip into adrug-induced stupor.

For similar reasons, themini-rebellion staged bya number of Oregon citiesand counties, mostly rural,is likely to be relativelyshort-lived. In order to passlegislation implementingMeasure 91, lawmakers thisyear approved a compromisethat grants officials in certaincounties greater leeway toban marijuana businesses,though all such bans can beoverturned by local voters. Arelative handful of cities andcounties have exercised theirban prerogative. Eventually,however, residents of no-potareas are bound to recognizethat local prohibitions createhassles and displace spend­ing without preventing ac­cess. When this happens, localbans imposed in a panic willend, one milestone at a time.

In the meantime, potbusinesses near"dry" citiesand counties should prepareto enjoy their good fortune.Their ban is your boon.

U.S. OPEN TENNIS: WOMEN'S QUARTERFINALS BAICER VOLLEYBALL

NEW YORK — Forstretches of the 27th editionof Williams vs. Williams,Venus gave Serena all shecould handle.

And when Serena tookcontrol down the stretch toemerge with a 6-2, 1-6, 6-3victory in a well-played U.S.Open quarterfmal, allowingher to continue pursuing thefirst calendar-year GrandSlam in more than a quarter­century, a smiling Venuswrapped both arms aroundher little sister for a warmhug at the net and whis­pered, "So happy for you."

"Obviously we are very,very tough competitors onthe court," Serena said later,"but once the match is over,the second it's done, youknow, we're sisters, we'reroommates, and we're allthat."

Serena called their uniquesibling rivalry"the greateststory in tennis," and whowould argue? A couple ofkids taught by their dad oncement courts in Compton,California, making it all theway to the top.

With two more matchwins, the No. 1-ranked Ser­ena would become the firstplayer since Steffi Graf in1988 to collect all four GrandSlam titles in a single season.Plus, if she can win whatwould be her fourth U.S.Open in a row, and seventhoverall, she would equalGraf with 22 major cham­pionships, the most in theprofessional era and second­most ever behind MargaretCourt's 24.

"That would be huge, notjust for me, but for my fam­

sisters.— Serena Williams

ily, just for what it repre­sents and how hard we haveworked and where we comefrom. So it would be a mo­ment for our family," said the23rd-seeded Venus, who is15 months older. "But at thesame time, if it doesn't hap­pen it's not going to makeor break you. We don't haveanything to prove. She hasnothing to prove. She's reallythe best ever."

Serena is 16-11 in theirall-in-the-family matches,including 9-5 in majors and3-2 at the U.S. Open. And 14

Serena Williams, seen here in an earlier match at the U.S. Open, beat her sister, Venus,on Tuesday to advance to the semifinals.

"Obviously we are very,very tough competitorson the court, but once thematch is over, the secondit's done, you know, we're

years to the day after Venusbeat Serena in the 2001 finalat Flushing Meadows, theymet again with so much atstake.

Well-known folks such asDonald Trump — who wasbooed when shown on videoscreens — Oprah Winfreyand Kim Kardashian dot­ted the teeming stands inArthur Ashe Stadium, andthe sellout crowd of 23,771got its money's worth.

"They both played theirbest," said Serena's coach,Patrick Mouratoglou. "Ifthey were feeling uncomfort­able with playing each other,they could not play at thatlevel."

The sisters combinedfor 57 winners iSerenahad more, 35l and only 37unforced errors iVenus hadfewer, 15l. How close was it?Serena won 76 points, Venus75.

Both pounded serves fast,very fast, each topping 120mph. Both returned well,oh so well, each managingto put into play at least oneserve at more than 115 mphby the other.

Venus often attemptedto end baseline exchangesquickly. Serena showedtremendous touch by usingdrop shots, one paired witha backhand passing winner,another with a perfectlycurled lob.

When a reporter imphedhe wasn't sure whetherVenus really wanted tobeat Serena, the reply wasdrenched with incredulity.

"I tried," Venus replied.cWere you there?"

On Thursday, Serena facesunseeded Robert Vinci ofItaly, who reached her firstGrand Slam semifinal at age32 by outlasting KristinaMladenovic 6-3, 5-7, 6-4.

Emmett had defeated the Bulldogs in four games aweek ago on the Baker floor.

Coach Warren Wilson said the Bulldogs had too manyerrors — a recurring problem so far this season.

"In the first set we had too many errors for points,"Wilson said."Then in sets two and three we cleaned it upand had our chances."

Kaeli Flanagan and Jordan Rudolph each finishedwith five kills and Summer Phillips had three.

Makenna Bachman had seven assists and Dani Mc­Cauley six.

Madi Elms served 100 percent with two ace serves.Baker travels to Fruitland Thursday.

Restore Oregon to holdworkshop in Lake Oswego

LAKE OSWEGO — Lake Oswego'shistoric Shipley-Cook Barn i1862l, one ofonly 18 Pioneer-era barns still standingin the Willamette Valley, will be the site ofRestore Oregon's annual Heritage BarnWorkshop set for Sept. 26.

The day-long program will teachparticipants about barn styles and types,provide instruction on documenting andassessing barn conditions, introduce bestpractices for rehabilitating historic barns,and demonstrate the types of tools used tobuild and restore them.There are at least 11,000 barns in

Oregon that are over 50 years old — theminimum age for historic designation. Butunlike urban commercial buildings, theseicons of the rural landscape are rarely re­stored for reasons ranging from the sheercost to functional obsolescence. Membersof Restore Oregon's Heritage Barns Task­force are trying to inspire more preserva­tion through these hands-on experiences,whether you're a barn owner or just anadmirer of the agricultural landscape.

Tickets are $25 for Restore Oregonmembers; $35 for non-members. Registra­tion includes lunch, snacks, and all neces­sary materials. Tickets must be purchasedin advanced at www.RestoreOregon.org orby calling 503-243-1923.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 20)5YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella WilderBorn today, you are a champion for the

little guy, one of those individuals who repre­sent all that is grand and heroic in common,everyday people and their endeavors. This isnot to suggest, of course, that you are likely toenjoy only ordinary success in your lifetime;on the contrary, you may be destined forgreatness! But at the same time, you're notever likely to forget where you came from, orwho your family and friends really are. Youwill always value everyday people and down­to-earth endeavors over anything that your

own success might afford you. You know, too,that nothing lasts forever, so you'll be readytoreturn to the world of the normal when thetime comes.

be feeling quite stubborn — and you're likelyto meet the proverbial immovable objectbefore all is said and done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You're going to be allowed to do somethingthat you've long wanted to try. But don't thinkthis permission is open-ended!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Youcan give someone a gift he or she has beenwaiting for, but in a form that may not beimmediately recognizable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ­- You wereexpecting yesterday's efforts to pay off m ore

handsomely, but not everything goes accord­ing to plan. Make adjustments.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ­- It's cer­

tain)y not too late to change your mind. Afriend offers something that is more valuablethan anticipated.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER )0, 20)5YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella WilderBorn today, you have tremendous talent,

though it is not likely to shine brightly at first.You must be willing to work with it for aprolonged period, shaping and developing itwith great care, until the opportunity to put iton full display is granted you. In short, youmust not be in a hurry! Accept the fact thatgood things come to those who wait, and becontent in the knowledge that your time willcome. In the meantime, you will want tolearn from both your m istakes and your suc­

cesses, for each will provide indispensibleknowledge that you will carry with you anduse productively throughout your lifetime.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ­- You knowyour ideas are competitive — orwill be — but

right now, you're dealing with certain practi­calities that are slowing you down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — One thingleads to another, as always, and you're likelyto be surprised by someone else's unexpected

contributions.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

While tinkering with something that piquesyour curiosity, you're likely to discover someinformation that changes everything.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan. I9) ­- Yourreputation precedes you. Give someone elsethe opportunity to shine ­- or at least to fol­low in your footsteps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You'llhave the chance to step in and fix things in away that could very well prove permanent­or at least very long-lasting.

PISCES (Feb. I9-March 20) — You wantthings to move faster, but you may be misin­terpreting one or two specific circumstances.

ARIES (March 21-April i9) ­- The work­place can provide you with a great deal of

TAURUS (Apr!I 20-May 20) — You willhave a chance to reaffirm your commitmentto a certain group effort — and to demon­

strate that commitment in no uncertainterms.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ­- Focus onbackground activities. You won't be able toprogress unless everything you do is con­nected to everything else.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — What yousayto a friend or loved one maybe misunder­

stood for a time, but you can keep the tensionfrom rising too quickly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ­- You'll find your­

have to tell you in the moment.

DEAR CONFUSED WIFE: I vote for tell­ing your husband the truth.Better he should hear it fromyou now than hear about itlater from his uncle.

DEARABBY: I started anewj ob four months cgo after being out ofwork because ofa large downsizing at my lastemployer's, an insurance company. My newj obis close to home, and I like the work involved.I'm single, in my early 40s and have a

wonderful relationship with a widowerI metin church. My problem involves my immedi­ate boss, who is a married man with afamily.H e hus asked me tojoin him for lunch severaltimes. He kas left flowersin my car with anote, and keeps askirg me to go to concerts outof town because he says his wife doesn't wantto go and he doesn't want to go alone.

I have tried to downplay his udvances, butIam afruidit mightcost me myjob, my boyfriendand the uhility to help my parents ftnancially. Iam aware my co-workers are probuhly wonder­irg whutisgoirg on. How do I handIe thisdelicate situation and do the right thing?

boss that you are involved in a committedrelationship, and so is he. The next time heinvites you to lunch, inform him that hisinvitations are making you uncomfortable.After that, ifhe persists in leaving flowerswith little notes, hang onto them becausethey would be evidence that you were beingharassed in case your refusal to have a per­sonal relationship affects your employment.

DEARABBY: For the past year I havebeen marrt'ed to a man I love with all myheart, but we have yet to reside in the samehouse. He lives in another city with hischild's mother and gives me excuse after ex­cuse as to why he won't leave. It's either thathe's scared to have to pay child support, orhe's afraid of my temper (which I'm seekinghelp for), or it'sj ust not the right time.

DEAR MARRIED: Keep working on youranger issues, but call it quits. Obviously, your

DEARABBY: Iam 44 and my husbandof20yearsis 48. On a recentsecond honey­moon trip to Sweden, I became pregnant. Wealreudy have two beautiful, intelligent daugh­ters, 17 and 14. One started university thisfall while the other's a high school sophomore.

My problem is not so much the high-riskpregnancy, but rather that both of my girlsstrongly oppose the idea of us keepirg thebaby. Not only were they not thrilled when Ibroke the news to them, but they also cried.

My younger daughter is now giving methe cold shoulder. She doesn't like chargeand thinks having a sibling will disrupt ourlife. My older girl said she is glad she will beat the university so she won't have to haveanythirg to do with the buhy.

Iam deeply hurt by their reuctions. I needhelp to talk to them. Pleasegive me some udvice.

than how your daughters feel aboutyourpregnancyis how you and your husband feelaboutit. Teenagers don't like to consider theirparents as sexual beings, which may be part ofthe reason for their reaction.

Not knowing your girls, I'm not sure whatthey need to hear other than you love themand hope at some point they will becomemature enough to accept the situation. Butdo not allow them to put you on the defen­sive. You don't owe them an apology. In fact,they owe you and their father one.

WASHINGTON — Almost12,000 students are askingthe federal government to dis­charge their college loan debt,asserting that their schooleither closed or lied to themabout job prospects, accordingto government data releasedThursday. Already, claimstotaling about $40 million inloans have been approved.

That's only a fraction of thepotential cost to taxpayers ifall the students affected bythe collapse of CorinthianColleges file claims. Educa­tion Department Undersec­retary Ted Mitchell said thepotential student loan reliefcould total $3.2 billion.

The claims already filedrepresent an unprecedentedspike in what's called a"bor­rower's defense" claim follow­ing the collapse of CorinthianColleges, a for-profit collegechain that had become a sym­bol of fraud in the world ofhigher education. Departmentregulations allow studentswho believe they were victimsof fraud to apply to have theirloans discharged.

Officials say they knew offive or so such cases in thepast 20 years; some 4,140 havebeen filed since the EducationDepartment's June announce­ment thatit would make thedebt-relief process easier. Of­ficials say an additional 7,815Corinthian students have filedclaims for debt-reliefbecausetheir school closed.Of those closed school

claims, the department said3,128 had been approved,totaling about $40 million in

Corinthian schools chargedexorbitant fees, lied about jobprospects for its graduatesand, in some cases, encour­aged students to lie abouttheir circumstances to getmore federal aid. After theEducation Department noti­fied Corinthian that it wouldfine its Heald College $30 mil­lion for misleading students,the college chain filed forbankruptcy, with some 13,500students still enrolled.

In a plan orchestrated bythe federal government, someof the Corinthian schoolsdosed while others were soldbefore the chain filed for bank­ruptcy this spring. The biggestquestion has been what shouldhappen to the debt incurred bystudents whose schools weresold. The law already provides
