IN BRIEF

Man, 22, drowns in Juntura Hot Springs this weekend JUNTURA, Ore. — An Idaho man drowned in the Juntura Hot Springs over the weekend and alcohol may have been a factor, authorities said. Aaron Carney, 22, of Nampa was found by his father, Gregory Carney, and pronounced dead at the scene Sunday, said Jim Widmer, senior deputy for the Malheur County Sheriff’s Office. The Carneys had driven to the area, about two miles east of Juntu- ra along the Malheur River, to sit in the hot springs. They had been in the water for a few hours before de- ciding to leave. “They got up to leave, and the dad went and got dressed,” Widmer said. “He came back to the hot springs and found his son floating in the water.” Paramedics attempted to revive Carney for more than an hour with- out success. The spot is a popular place for hunters and campers; however, the Carneys were the only people occu- pying the hot springs at the time, Widmer said. “We can’t say for sure yet,” Widmer said. “We really suspect alcohol was involved in this incident.” Stars shoot scenes from ‘Seraphim Falls’ in Oregon SAHALIE FALLS, Ore. — That might very well have been Bond, James Bond, seen ordering a marti- ni in Lane County in recent days. Or more specifically, Brosnan, Pierce Brosnan, the British actor who portrayed Bond and has been shooting a Western in and around Sahalie and Koosah falls, along with costar Liam Neeson. The movie, titled “Seraphim Falls,” is a Civil War-era tale being produced by Mel Gibson’s compa- ny, Icon Films. Neeson plays a man bent on killing the character portrayed by Brosnan because of something that happened during the war. Most of the film has already been shot in New Mexico, near Taos, said location manager Rowan Stanland, whose job it is to track down suit- able places for filming. But the movie’s opening sequences require a stunning waterfall, not only as backdrop but plot device as well. Stanland found Sahalie Falls in a Find out more about Army ROTC’s Summer Leader’s Training Course. guide book to waterfalls.
