He said the cost in the past has been about $40,000 a year and this year it has jumped to $120,000. Besides cost, Watson said, is reluctance of companies to insure the buildings.

It was the charge of possessing marijuana that turned him away from teaching. "My destruction as a teacher was complete," he said.

"It was planted there," said Gatti. A Clackamas County Circuit Court jury acquitted him last Friday as the dimax to a three-day trial in which he was supported by 13 students, 7 parents and 3 teachers from Lake Oswego High School. He said he regarded the attempt to frame him on the marijuana charge as a reaction to his criticism of both students and faculty at the school.
