A methamphetamine lab was discovered in the bedroom of a northeast Canby home by Canby Police Department officers responding to a domestic disturbance call Friday morning.

The father of a 14-year-old girl was reportedly arguing with a man whom his daughter was "shacking up" with when officers were called, according to a police incident report.

Upon arriving at the house near the Willamette Valley Country Club at about 11:55 a.m., police made contact with John Eric Fisher, 27, a resident of the house where the disturbance was reported by neighbors.

Officers reported Fisher had a valid parole warrant issued for his arrest by the state Parole Board stemming from a previous drug possession.

While at the home in the 700 block of Northeast 34th Place, officers discovered items used for illegal drug ingestion, and Canby Police Detective Steve Floyd sought to obtain a search warrant, which was granted and was served on the home at 5:30 p.m.

Upon re-entering the house, officers located several chemicals, glassware, precursors, and other items which gave officers further belief that a working meth lab was present in Fisher's basement bedroom.

Local police had kept the home under surveillance in recent months after receiving reports of unusual or suspicious activities.

Due to safety concerns, the investigating officers retreated, and put the residence under quarantine until Oregon State Police Crime Lab technicians could dismantle the lab Saturday morning.

In addition, to the parole violation charge, Fisher faces new charges of the possession, distribution and manufacture of a controlled substance.

He also faces one count of endangering the welfare of a minor because the 14-year-old female was on the premises at the time the meth lab was discovered, police reported.

Fisher was lodged at the Clackamas County Jail, and his case will be submitted to the Clackamas County District Attorney's Office for review.

Canby detectives continue to investigate, and report additional suspects may be arrested in connection with the illicit meth-making operation.

For more than three months, the Canby School District's Boundary Review Committee has been mulling over enrollment figures and boundary maps in its quest to address overcrowding throughout the district.

At Thursday's school board meeting, members of the committee will further the possibility of boundary realignment by presenting their recommendations to the school board.

"We tried to do what was best for the entire community. " said committee member Andrea Weber. "I think it was a very well-run process."

The committee - composed of parent representatives, administrators and community members - was appointed by the board to consider boundary realignment as a way to relieve overcrowding at several of the district's schools, namely Trost and Knight elementary schools. According to the district's enrollment figures, Trost is currently over capacity and needs relief.

As part of its recommendations, the committee will suggest that the district move students from Trost and Knight to schools with more room, such as Eccles, Ninety-One and Carus elementary schools.

"Essentially, (the committee's recommendations) are to reduce enrollment at Trost and Knight, and increase enrollment at Eccles, Carus and Ninety-One," said Superintendent Deborah Sommer, who served as a resource to the committee. She stressed that the committee worked hard to follow their guiding principals which included minimizing impact on families and keeping neighborhoods intact.

Eccles principal Marilyn Wood, who served on the committee, said members divided up into three smaller groups and compiled different strategies and boundary changes.

"There was a really strong consensus among the three groups," she said. "The (potential) boundaries we came up with were all very similar, and pretty obvious actually."

Wood added that although the committee felt good about the choices they made for their recommendations, their decisions were not easy.

"We really tried to minimize disruption, but it's going to be hard," she said.

Also included in the committee's considerations was the issue of grandfathering students, which would allow fourth-graders to choose whether to stay in their current school or move to a different one. Under the proposed recommendations, some fourth-grade students and their siblings will have the grandfathering option, but the siblings will have to be considered on a year to year basis as space allows.

Another concern was the kindergarten currently housed at the Lee Campus of Ackerman Middle School, which was moved from Trost due to overcrowding.

According to Don Staehely, the district's director of operations, the kindergarten will be returned to Trost for next the school year as promised by the board.

As a sidenote to the district-appointed committee, a group of seventh-graders from Tony Crawford's geography class at Ackerman shadowed the boundary committee and made its own recommendations at a presentation Monday morning.

"It was excellent," said Webber. "They deserve a lot of applause for their work. It was really high caliber."

Webber added that the students' perspective shed some light on how the committee could make any transitions easier on students and families.

"They suggested open houses, school visitations and ways to make students feel like they belong," she said. "We really appreciated their point of view."

The students also stressed the importance of communication, a concern raised by the boundary committee as well.

Sommer said in addition to the public school board meeting Thursday, there will be two public hearings and she will send letters to every family in the district March 2. Maps of the proposed changes will be on display at the meeting and the hearings, and the full text of the committee's recommendations will be available after Thursday night.

The boundary committee will make it's recommendations to the school board at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 1 in the library at Canby High School. The two public hearings will be held at Knight Elementary: one from 4 to 6 p.m.

Thursday, March 8, and one from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 14.

The board will take action on the recommendations and public comments at their regular monthly meeting 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 15.
