$15 million in bond savings to be spent on school improvements

A special delivery

The Bulletin

Officially, Bank of the Cascades may not be out of the woods, but the announcement of a capital infusion that will allow the bank and its parent company to meet regulatory requirements brought joy Wednesday to the community.

“For Central Oregon, Christmas came early,” said Bill Smith, of William Smith Properties and developer of the Old Mill District in Bend. “If we didn’t have Bank of the Cascades, Regal (cinemas) wouldn’t be here and the Old Mill District would not look the way it does.”

Nobody else would finance the project except for Bank of the Cascades, Smith said.

Cascade Bancorp, the bank’s parent company, reached agreements with investors on a stock sale anticipated to raise $177 million, the company announced Tuesday afternoon.

It also will be implementing a 1-for-10 reverse stock split starting Monday that technically will not change the overall value of investors’ holdings. However, like stock market investments in general, it brings risks, and one financial adviser urged Cascade Bancorp shareholders to have patience.

The company’s announcement came 15 months after it agreed to operate under rules outlined in a consent order from federal and state regulators.

$177M deal still requires approval from shareholders, the Fed, but the mood is that ‘Christmas came early’

By Tim Doran

By Patrick Cliff REDMOND — The Redmond School District will spend roughly $15 million in project bond savings on repairing schools and constructing bleachers at the new high school, a move that comes after a unanimous Redmond School Board vote Wednesday night.

About a half-dozen people attended the board meeting, most of them speaking in support of spending the bond savings. That group included some Redmond High School staff.

One Redmond resident pushed the board to return the savings to taxpayers, a move that would have resulted in either a onetime tax break of about $700 or annual discounts of roughly $33 for about 20 years on a property assessed at $150,000.

Even though the vote was unanimous, there were emotional moments leading to the decision. A high school teacher described how students were struggling to pay athletic fees. Board member Cathy Miller described how a family member is about to lose his home.

Still, she voted for the spending because she believed the money would best be used on district improvements.

Sylvia Aker, 74, left, chats with Teresa Ria Simpson, 27, while visiting Simpson’s newborn, Prescott, at the St. Charles Bend neonatal intensive care unit Wednesday afternoon. Aker, a nurse and Simpson’s co-worker at Shasta Administrative Services in Redmond, helped to deliver the premature baby at work.

Quick-thinking co-workers help with baby’s birth in Redmond office

eresa Ria Simpson was nearly seven months pregnant when she started feeling like something was a little off.

She thought she had indigestion or was hungry. Or, perhaps the baby was just kicking a lot.

But an hour later, she gave birth to a boy — not at a hospital in February, as expected, but on the floor of her Redmond workplace’s bathroom. It happened with the help of quick-thinking co-workers who performed CPR to get the tiny baby breathing.

“You made a good team,” Simpson said Wednesday afternoon to one of the co-workers, Sylvia Aker.

The two were standing by Prescott Roger Simpson’s incubator at the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Charles Bend.

Born Nov. 11, Prescott is now breathing on his own. The doctors say he is doing extremely well, Simpson said, and Wednesday he was healthy enough that his mom was able to hold him for the first time.

His arrival was a big surprise.

Experimental drug increases levels of ‘good’ cholesterol

By John Fauber Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Prescott Simpson, born Nov. 11, is doing well in the neonatal intensive care unit. A neoprene headband, decorated with a sunglasses design, protects his eyes, while a bluish light provides warmth.

Shasta Administrative Services, a Redmond-based medical insurance administrator, Thursday when her stomach started aching, she said.

“This is my first delivery, my first baby, so I don’t know what contractions are,” she said. “It kind of felt like it would feel if my baby’s just kicking ... I really didn’t think any-

thing about it.”

Simpson ate some lunch and went back to work. But after taking a call, she had to run to the bathroom.

“It felt like something popped out,” she said. “My first thought was, what the heck was that? Then I looked down and saw a foot.”

CHICAGO — An experimental drug dramatically raised good HDL cholesterol, but before it gets on the market, researchers must be sure that doing so saves lives rather than taking them, as a similar drug did several years ago.

The long-awaited clinical trial results presented Wednesday are a crucial advance in what doctors say may be the next big breakthrough in treating and preventing heart disease, one that eventually could resolve a long-standing theory about HDL cholesterol and artery health.

Years of observational research have showed that people with naturally high levels of HDL have fewer heart attacks and strokes. But will drug-induced increases in HDL do the same thing?

Doctors warn that the physiology of HDL cholesterol, which actually is a family of particles, is complicated and far from fully understood.

“There are so many functions (of HDL cholesterol),” said Eliot Brinton, a researcher at the University of Utah School of Medicine, Merck consultant and co-author of the study of the drug, anacetrapib.

IS AIRPORT SECURITY TOO INTRUSIVE?

As holiday travel picks up, so does debate about scanners

By Jeffrey Leib The Denver Post

DENVER — The debate over whether airport security screening is too intrusive continued Wednesday in advance of the Thanksgiving rush, with some travelers invoking their constitutional right against unreasonable

search and others more forgiving of efforts to keep travel safe.

At Denver International Airport Jeffrey “Gator” Henry, of Charlotte, N.C., moved through security in gym shorts and a tank top, part of his plan to reject screening by an imaging device and request a pat-down instead.

Some travelers object to the imaging machines, which either use millimeter-wave or backscatter X-ray technology to electronically strip down travelers and allow security screeners to search for concealed weapons or explosives.

“It’s an invasion of privacy,”

said Henry, a television and film producer.

He said he has joined the nascent movement that is asking travelers to voluntarily opt out of screening by the full-body scanners in favor of more timeconsuming pat-downs. Some have designated the day before

Thanksgiving as “national optout day.”

“I dressed this way so there is nothing to pat down,” he said of more intensive hand searches by Transportation Security Administration screeners that began in recent weeks.

In shaky economic times, going back to school needs to be treated like any other investment: You need to weigh the potential returns while closely managing the costs.

So before you enroll in a program, you should ask the same sorts of questions that a portfolio manager might ask when analyzing conventional investments, like stocks: Am I buying a reputable credential? What is demand like in the field I’m interested in? What is the earnings potential? What are the longterm prospects? And how can I minimize my expenses?

“The larger the expense, the more sure you need to be of the investment,” said Paula Hogan, a financial planner in Milwaukee who focuses on her clients’ earnings potential.

Besides trying to work out the upside of an educational investment, see what you can do to hold down costs — or, even better — find someone else to pay them. Financial planners, tax experts and career counselors offer these tips:

Seek employer aid If you have a job, ask your employer if a tuition-assistance program is available; employers can provide up to $5,250 in tax-free tuition reimbursement. A 2010 survey conducted by the School of Continuing and Professional Studies at New York University found, for instance, that 78 percent of New York City employers who offered tuition reimbursement would pay for noncredit courses and certificates.

Government help Normally, people collecting unemployment insurance need to be looking for work full time.

But most states have made exceptions, making it possible to collect benefits while in degree or certificate programs, said Andrew Stettner, deputy director for the National Employment Law Project, a worker advocacy group. Check your employment benefit handbook or your state unemployment insurance program’s website for details on how to get a waiver.

You can find more information about retraining and other types of education-related aid and programs through the CareerOneStop centers and website (CareerOneStop.org) financed by the Labor Department, said Kermit Kaleba, senior policy analyst at the National Skills Coalition, an advocacy group that aims to help workers improve their skills. You can also visit Opportunity.gov, a site about educational and training initiatives for the unemployed.

Loans and grants Before you borrow, do a thorough search for grants and scholarships. FinAid.org, a comprehensive college planning site, has a page dedicated to scholarship databases, including its own, FastWeb.com. CareerOneStop also lists scholarship search engines.

If you need to borrow, first look at federal financial aid or loans. To be eligible for these, you must enroll at least half time in a program that culminates in a degree or an eligible certificate.

“Continuing education that is not degree-seeking or certificate-seeking is usually not eligible,” said Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid.org.

If your program qualifies, submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as a FAFSA, to fafsa.gov, to see if you are eligible for subsidized loans or other aid. If you recently lost your job or are earning less this year, ask the financial aid administrators at your target college for a “professional judgment adjustment,” because aid is based on income from the previous year.

Start by calling the college’s financial aid office to ask about the procedure — some colleges will require that you fill out a form. Then, send a brief letter politely requesting the review.

Be sure to describe your situation and the effect it has had on your finances, and include

The administrators can adjust the figures that will determine whether you qualify for aid.

Private student loans are another option, though they are more expensive and usually carry a variable interest rate. Make sure, too, to ask about fees, rates and terms before signing up.

Also see how those terms compare with tapping a home equity line of credit, if available, or using personal loans from your bank or credit union.

Tax breaks The Lifetime Learning Credit, specifically geared for continuing education, can be used for an unlimited number of years and for a wide range of schooling, including undergraduate and graduate studies, vocational programs and courses to learn or improve job skills, said Mark Luscombe, principal analyst at CCH, a tax and accounting information service.

It provides a maximum credit of $2,000 — that’s 20 percent of the first $10,000 of tuition and qualifying expenses at a postsecondary institution. It phases out, however, for single taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income of $50,000 to $60,000, and for married joint filers with income of $100,000 to $120,000.

A couple of other tax breaks for education-related expenses are available, though their futures are unclear. The American Opportunity Credit, which replaced the less generous Hope Scholarship Credit, is available only for people pursuing an undergraduate degree.

The maximum credit is $2,500, which can be used for the first four years of postsecondary education and covers qualifying tuition and related expenses. It phases out for married people filing joint returns who earn $160,000 to $180,000 and for singles earning $80,000 to $90,000.

Forty percent of the credit is refundable, which means you will receive money back even if you have no federal tax liability.

But the credit runs only through 2010; in 2011, it will revert to the less flexible Hope Credit, for up to $1,800, which can be used for only the first two years of undergraduate study.

“The American Opportunity tax credit is likely to get extended again, but technically it is still not available for 2011,” said Luscombe, the CCH analyst.

Remember that many of these tax breaks are mutually exclusive: You cannot take a credit and a deduction for the same expenses.

Cash your bonds If you have Series I or EE bonds (issued after 1989) and redeem them in the same year in which you have qualified education expenses, you do not have to pay taxes on the interest income that you collect at redemption. But the bond’s owner must be at least 24 years old on the bond issue date. In 2010, the benefits phase out for joint filers with adjusted gross income of $105,100 to $135,100, and for single taxpayers with income of $70,100 to $85,100.

Retirement money It is generally not a good idea to raid retirement accounts. But you are permitted to withdraw money from a traditional or Roth individual retirement account for qualified higher-education expenses — tuition, books, fees, supplies and equipment — and avoid the 10 percent penalty levied on people under the age of 591⁄2 . If you are enrolled at least half time in a degree program, the money withdrawn can also be used to pay for room and board, said Kantrowitz of FinAid.org.

You are still required to pay any income taxes normally owed on a withdrawal. With a traditional IRA, that means

you will owe income taxes on all distributions (unless you made some nondeductible contributions, which are not taxable). With a Roth, if you are under the age of 59 1⁄2, you need to pay income tax on the portion of your distribution that comes from earnings, but not the portion that comes from your contributions.

“It might be easier to pull it out of a Roth, but because of what you are forgoing in terms of loss of tax-free earnings in the future,” Luscombe said, it might not be the best decision.

Remember that if you have a child in college, withdrawing money from a plan will artificially increase your income, which could affect the child’s eligibility for financial aid.

WARREN, Mich. — A Michigan family is suing its school district for discrimination over a classroom reading of a racial epithet in a book depicting slavery.

According to the lawsuit, filed Nov. 3 in Macomb County Circuit Court in January, a fifth-grade teacher at Margaret Black Elementary in the Warren Consolidated School District read to her class from “From Slave Ship to Freedom Road,” by Julius Lester.

The selections included one of a slave auction, with derogatory but historical references to Africans, and one with the same epithet from a slave’s viewpoint.

The family’s lawyer Scott Combs of Novi, Mich., said the family approached him last winter. They are seeking damages in excess of $25,000 for violations of the Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act. It protects individuals from race-based discrimination. The girl left the district and has to repeat fifth grade.

Officials said fifth-grade teachers and the principal discussed the book before the reading as part of their Black History Month curriculum. It is recommended for children ages 10-15.

District spokesman Robert Freehan said the book was substituted for a pre-approved one by the publisher without the district’s knowledge and steps have been taken to address that.

“It’s not historically misleading,” he said of the material.

The book is used in school curricula nationwide.

German forces mobilize to respond to terrorism Fractured Dems

By Michael Slackman and Eric Schmitt

New York Times News Service

Germany dispatched heavily armed police officers and bombsniffing dogs to train stations, airports and key landmarks on Wednesday as a new picture emerged of the terrorist threat that had already raised security levels in Britain and France.

In a hastily called news conference in Berlin, the country’s interior minister, Thomas de Maiziere, said the government had “concrete indications of a series of attacks planned for the end of

November,” and German, Pakistani and U.S. officials offered similar accounts of intelligence that pointed to imminent attacks by terrorists trained in Pakistan or Afghanistan.

Some plotters at large The officials said that American military drone strikes in those countries had killed some of the plotters and disrupted the plans, but that others were at large and might still strike.

A German intelligence official said reports had been streaming

in that teams might be heading to Germany for a Mumbai-style attack or other terrorism strikes.

Commando attacks “The situation has developed over the past weeks and months,” the official said, also speaking anonymously. “There were new messages almost every day. The number of messages increased and concentrated on Germany.”

A U.S. counterterrorism official detailed the intelligence behind a warning issued in October to Americans traveling in Europe.

He said that about 25 fighters affiliated with al-Qaida, organized into cells of three to five members, had been planning commando attacks in Britain, France and Germany. He spoke on condition of anonymity.

One European intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said some attackers might be in place. That official said that “within the last six weeks there had been some Germans arrested in Pakistan” who said as much, though they did not know where or when a strike was planned.

DEEPWATER HORIZON

Report cites supervision, training flaws for oil spill

By John M. Broder New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Inadequate training and supervision of key personnel aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and a lack of focus on safety were among the factors that contributed to the explosion that killed 11 workers and sent millions of barrels of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, according to a preliminary report by a team of scientific experts released Wednesday.

BP, which owned the well, and its chief subcontractors, Halliburton and Transocean, made critical decisions in the hours before the April 20 accident that increased the chances of a catastrophic blowout, the experts, from the National Academy of Engineering, found. The steps were taken despite numerous signs of trouble in the well, according to the report.

The report, commissioned

by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, was harsh in its criticism of BP, citing the company for a lack of “management discipline” and problems with “delegation of decision-making” on board the Deepwater Horizon.

No single cause But the report found no single cause of the disaster, assigning blame not only to BP and its contractors but also the Minerals Management Service, the federal agency that oversaw offshore drilling at the time of the spill.

Responding to the report, BP noted that it did not draw final conclusions about the causes of the accident and had not considered some recent evidence, including independent tests conducted for the presidential commission investigating the spill.

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Federal officials are planning to crack down on potent caffeinated alcoholic beverages, a leading Democratic senator said Tuesday — a response to alarm raised by public health authorities, law enforcement and state officials about the popular drinks.

The Food and Drug Administration will rule that caffeine is an unsafe substance to add to alcoholic beverages, “effectively making products such as Four Loko, Joose, and others like them, prohibited for sale in the United States,” Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement.

In addition, the Federal Trade Commission plans to notify companies making the product that “they are engaged in the potential illegal marketing of unsafe alcoholic drinks,” he said.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Nancy Pelosi was returned as the House Democratic leader on Wednesday on a vote that exposed clear unease among some colleagues about her remaining the party’s most visible figure in the House after deep losses in the November elections.

Pelosi, who will hand over the speaker’s gavel at the beginning of the new Congress when Republicans assume control in January, defeated Rep. Heath Shuler, a conservative from North Carolina, by a vote of 150-43.

After the vote, Pelosi spelled out why she thought her colleagues were willing to keep her at the top even after Republicans won at least 61 Democratic seats on Nov. 2 “Because I’m an effective leader, because we got the job done on health care and Wall Street reform and consumer protection — the list goes on,”

she said. “Because they know that I’m the person that can attract the resources, both intellectual and otherwise, to take us to victory because I have done it before.”

On the Republican side, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio was, as expected, picked as the new m a j o r i t y ’s candidate for speaker, virtually assuring him of the highest office in the House when the 112th Nancy Pelosi Congress D-Calif. convenes on Jan. 5. He won the right to be the nation’s 61st speaker on his 61st birthday and, adding to the numerological coincidence, the day House Republicans picked up their 61st seat in the election. Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia will serve as majority leader for the Republican Party.

An Israeli soldier sits behind protective cement blocks in the village of Ghajar on the border with Lebanon, northern Israel, on Wednesday. Israel on Wednesday approved the withdrawal of troops from the northern half of a village that straddles the border with Lebanon — a step that would end its four-year presence in the volatile area.

Israel pullout stirs fear in Lebanese border hamlet

By Diaa Hadid The Associated Press

GHAJAR, Golan Heights — Israel agreed Wednesday to pull its troops from the northern half of a village that straddles the border with Lebanon, defusing a longstanding political dispute but frightening villagers who don’t want their community divided.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said senior government ministers had approved the withdrawal from northern Ghajar “in principle.” Within the next few weeks, Israeli diplomats are to work out a detailed agreement with the U.N. peacekeeping force that patrols the border zone in southern Lebanon.

The centerpiece of that deal would be a plan to keep Lebanese Hezbollah militants, who warred with Israel in 2006, out of the village. Israel took control of northern Ghajar during that war.

Israeli officials said the village would not be divided after the withdrawal, but that did

not allay residents’ fears of being left stranded in Lebanon, if not by Israel then by the U.N. peacekeepers.

“People are scared it will separate children from their families and brothers from brothers and from our land,” said Najib Khatib, a village spokesman. “How can they come today and divide a small village like this? We hope that this decision won’t be carried out.”

Home to 2,200 The village of Ghajar, flanked by rolling green plains, is virtually inaccessible to all but its residents. Only military roads lead to the village of concrete, boxy homes. Israeli soldiers man a checkpoint at the village entrance and search all vehicles.

The village is home to 2,200 people and lies in a strategic corner where the boundaries of Syria, Israel and Lebanon are in dispute. More than 1,500 resi-

“Parents should be able to rest a little easier knowing that soon their children won’t have access to this deadly brew.”

dents live in the northern half.

Israel captured all of Ghajar from Syria in 1967 when it took the Golan Heights. After the Israeli military ended an 18-year occupation of southern Lebanon in 2000, U.N. surveyors split Ghajar between Lebanon and the Israeli-controlled Golan, but Israel reoccupied the northern half four years ago.

Under the truce that ended the fighting, Israel agreed to withdraw, but it wanted to clinch an arrangement that would keep the Iranian-backed Hezbollah from entering the village.

Villagers are members of Islam’s Alawite sect, whose followers include many members of Syria’s ruling elite. Virtually all residents have taken Israeli citizenship, further complicating the village’s future.

Residents said they were upset that they had not been consulted by the government and learned of the decision through the media.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Sen. Lisa Murkowski won a historic victory late Wednesday in her long-shot run for re-election as a write-in candidate.

By Wednesday afternoon, 15 days after the midterm elections, it was clear from state workers who were manually counting write-in ballots in Juneau, the state capital, that Murkowski had a sufficient lead over her opponent, Joe Miller, that Miller would not be able to catch up. The Democrat, Scott McAdams, trailed far behind.

Murkowski was preparing to declare victory Wednesday at a rally for supporters here.

Miller, a tea party favorite, did not immediately concede.

Late Tuesday, his campaign

suggested that it would pursue a recount of all the ballots cast.

Such a recount cannot formally be requested until after the state certifies a final tally.

Murkowski is the first write-in candidate elected to the U.S. Senate since Strom Thurmond of South CaroSen. Lisa lina in 1954.

Murkowski, Election R-Alaska workers counted more than 100,000 write-in votes in Juneau over the past week. More than 97 percent of the votes were for Murkowski, state election officials said.

Continued from A1 The hand searches also have stirred criticism from some travelers.

“People are showing up and they’re stressed, they’re paying more for their seats,” said travel writer Joe Brancatelli. “I could see where this really gets ugly.”

Ed Hummel, for instance, fumed all the way from Philadelphia to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on Monday.

The Philadelphia resident, who travels 40 weeks a year as a baking instructor, had been patted down by TSA officials like never before, in a procedure he called “very intrusive” and “humiliating.”

“They were up and down my leg, my groin, my crotch,” he said after landing in Chicago. “In front of everyone. No closed doors.”

“I’m very angry,” said Hummel, 59, who planned to file a complaint against the TSA. “I thought we lived in the U.S. It’s a police state now.”

In Denver on Wednesday, Anthony Giovingo, of New Orleans, who was flying home after visiting his daughter, said he’d prefer to face a full-body scan. “It doesn’t

TSA’s new pat-down procedure is “more up close and personal” than earlier hand-search techniques, but it is “not just Keystone Kops making up as they go along,” said Richard Bloom, director of terrorism, intelligence and security studies at EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Ariz.

New TSA techniques are developed out of collaboration between security and intelligence personnel that are constantly evaluating ever-changing threats, said Bloom, who spent 20 years in U.S. intelligence work.

TSA operates 768 security checkpoints, with 2,225 screening lanes, at 458 airports across the country. Currently, the agency has deployed 385 of the advanced imaging scanners at 68 U.S. airports.

TSA administrator John Pistole told a Senate committee Wednesday that the agency’s goal is to have 1,000 of the advanced imaging machines deployed at airports

ments and had their consent orders terminated. The state ended the order for Lake Oswego-based West Coast Bank, which has two branches in Bend, on July 15.

A shot in the arm Capital requirements help banks maintain a cushion against potential losses, which Cascade Bancorp and many other banks recorded when the economy crashed and took the real estate market with it. The company posted losses in 2008, 2009 and for the first nine months of this year.

However, community leaders and fellow bankers said the stock sale is great news.

“They’re not out of the woods,” said Oran Teater, Bend city councilor and financial adviser. But “they can tread water for a long time with this new money.”

Under the stock split, each 10 shares of outstanding common stock will be automatically reclassified as one share. For example, 10 shares worth $7 — trading at 70 cents a share — would become one share worth $7. Investors will receive cash for any remaining, or fractional, shares.

On Wednesday, Cascade Bancorp stock closed at 71 cents a share, a 58 percent increase over Tuesday’s close, according to the Nasdaq. More than 1.8 million shares were traded, well above the 143,000 shares traded daily

That money won’t be available until the projects are completed in 2012.

According to the bond resolution, the board was allowed to spend any savings on other capital projects. The board, however, is not allowed to spend the money on other costs, such as teacher salaries.

The district assembled a 30member task force to recommend how to spend the savings. The task force, comprising district employees and residents, was not asked to consider a tax refund.

After meeting three times, the task force recommended the district spend about $10 million on renovating Redmond High School, under $1 million

Legal questions Currently, there is no legal “bright line” to determine whether advanced imaging scans or intensive pat-downs amount to unreasonable searches of passengers, said Sam Kamin, an associate professor of constitutional law and criminal procedure at the University of Denver law school.

As lawsuits develop, courts undoubtedly will be looking at the privacy question, but they likely will be “loathe to second-guess”

on average over the last year.

Shareholders approved the stock split in December.

The stock split will reduce the number of shares outstanding and raise the stock price above the $1 per-share minimum price required for trading on Nasdaq, according to Moss and company documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2009.

Community affected Cascade Bancorp’s board believed the number of shares outstanding would be too high for a financial services company of its size.

A low share price also could give institutional and other investors a negative impression of the bank, according to the SEC filing.

Many consider low-price stocks to be more speculative in nature.

Also, investment firms, generally, will not research a company that trades below $1 or $2 per share, said Teater, who is also a bank customer. That reduces information available to investors about a company.

While the reverse stock split does not change the total value of an investor’s holdings, it does have risks, such as if the share price starts dropping after the split, which can happen, Cascade Bancorp advises in the 2009 filing.

on bleachers at the new high school and the remaining money on repairs at the district’s oldest buildings.

District resident Jim Boese was the lone voice at the meeting asking for the board to return the money. Voters had approved several projects and the new spending went beyond that scope, he said.

The bleachers, in particular, upset Boese.

“With the economic situation being what it is, I think it is incorrect to assume people automatically want these things,” he said.

“It should go back to the people for a vote.”

Several others pushed the board to spend the money on cap-

the TSA’s balancing of security and privacy, Kamin said.

TSA officials face congressional scrutiny as well, Kamin added, but undoubtedly they would rather be on Capitol Hill answering questions about screening intrusiveness than “explaining why an airliner was brought down.”

But Rutherford Institute president John Whitehead said the procedures violate the Fourth Amendment, which guards against strip-searching or frisking people unless there is a reasonable suspicion that they are engaged in criminal activity.

Legal scholars say there are two questions that likely must be answered: Do people have a constitutional right to fly, and when they do, is there a reasonable expectation of privacy? The answer to both, they said, is no.

“Most courts would say you consent to the conditions of flying, and if you don’t want to go through security, don’t fly,” said Ronald Allen, a professor at Northwestern University Law School. “In this context, the risks are quite real and serious. There are people who still would like to blow up airplanes.”

This story includes reports from the Chicago Tribune.

Over the last five years, Cascade Bancorp stock reached a high of $31.49 per share on Dec. 28, 2006, according to Nasdaq figures.

“It’s going to take awhile for it to recover anywhere close to where it was in the past,” said Teater, who was not predicting shares would return to boom-year highs.

“The alternative is they don’t survive. This is the best alternative there is.”

But the stock sale, he said, is “the very best news for the community and Central Oregon.”

Like Smith, Teater pointed to the Bank of the Cascades’ involvement in the community, not only through its banking, where it has about one-third of the market, but through community events.

As one example, he said, Bank of the Cascades has sponsored the Great Rotary Duck Race fundraiser. It’s the kind of local business with longtime employees who know the customers.

If regulators had shut down the bank and sold it, officials with the new bank might not make community involvement such a high priority.

“It’s kind of like going into “Cheers,” in Boston,” he said, referring to the TV show, “where everybody knows your name.”

Australia to deport American convicted in his wife’s death The Associated Press ADELAIDE, Australia — Australian officials said today that they would deport an American convicted in the death of his wife on a scubadiving honeymoon after U.S. officials pledged not to seek the death penalty if he is convicted again at home.

Gabe Watson was released from prison last week after serving an 18-month sentence for the manslaughter of his wife, Tina, in 2003 during a trip on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.

Scott Brown, a Redmond High math teacher and track coach, said voters had given the district approval to spend $110 million.

If the district could afford more projects with that money, the board should spend the money, Brown said.

The possible tax refund of $33 a year, he said, did not trump putting more money into school buildings.

“As a community member, you know what this means? It’s one less date night with my wife,” Brown said. “I can live with that.”

— a staunch opponent of the death penalty — received assurances that he would not face capital charges in his home state of Alabama.

Prosecutors in Alabama, a pro-death penalty state, want to try Watson again over his wife’s death, and are expected to seek murder charges.

An immigration spokeswoman, speaking on condition of anonymity because of department policy, said the Australian government had received assurances from U.S. officials that “the death penalty would not be sought, imposed or carried out.”

In 2008, voters passed a $110 million bond to build two schools — a second high school and an elementary school — and upgrade several schools in the district.

Since then, though, construction costs have fallen with the recession and the district now projects it will save $15 million on the work.

Threat assessment

by the end of 2011.

Increased use of the machines will likely allow TSA to phase out use of some of the traditional metal detectors.

In his testimony, Pistole said advanced imaging technology “safely and effectively screens passengers for both metallic and non-metallic threats, including weapons and explosives, without physical contact.”

He said it is “the most effective technology for detecting small threat items concealed on passengers,” such as those used by Umar Farouk Abdulmuttallab, the Nigerian who “tried and failed to detonate concealed explosives” on a Dec. 25, 2009, Northwest Airlines flight to Detroit.

Continued from A1 The order called for Cascade Bancorp to maintain certain levels of capital.

The $177 million from the stock sale will exceed the requirements set for what regulators call “wellcapitalized banks,” Patricia Moss, CEO of Cascade Bancorp, said Tuesday. The deal and investors must be approved by bank shareholders and the Federal Reserve Bank.

While the sale is a significant step, it is one of several required by the consent order, said Lisa Morawski, spokeswoman for the state Department of Consumer and Business Services, which includes the bank-regulating Division of Finance and Corporate Securities.

“It’s really good news,” she said. “We’re really pleased to see the bank get the capital.”

State and federal regulators will continue to monitor the bank, which includes examinations every six months, tracking its asset quality, earnings and other categories.

“It’s kind of a slow process,” Morawski said, referring to the continued monitoring. “We want to make sure that they’re really stabilized and on solid financial footing.”

Continued from A1 “There is a lot of confusion, and no consensus in the field,” Brinton said.

The pharmaceutical industry is betting that raising HDL will save lives.

Merck, whose 18-month clinical trial results with 1,623 people were presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association, is planning to start a 30,000-patient, four-year trial of anacetrapib next year.

Two other drug companies, Hoffman-LaRoche and Eli Lilly, also are testing drugs from the same class of HDL-raising agents.

Continued from A1 She didn’t know what to do, and started yelling for help.

Her co-worker Tina Countryman, of Redmond, ran into the bathroom.

“I just went into action mode,” Countryman recalled.

Someone called 911, someone else started gathering blankets and jackets from others in the building and Countryman helped Simpson lie down.

And one co-worker rushed to get Aker, 74, a nurse who works at Shasta doing medical review. When Aker got to the bathroom, the baby was in a breech position and coming out feet first instead of head first, like most babies.

“I had to assist, get his little shoulders and head out,” Aker said.

Aker had never delivered a baby before — her nursing training just kicked in, she said.

She had been a neonatal intensive care nurse before, as well as a pediatrics and cardiac care nurse. But she only looked after babies once they were born, she noted.

With Aker helping deliver the baby and Countryman on the phone with 911, Prescott was born quickly.

“They had me do three big pushes, then — whoosh, the baby was out,” Simpson said.

But initially, Prescott wasn’t breathing.

“Being so little, he wasn’t breathing spontaneously,”

Cause for caution All of them, however, are proceeding with caution, and it could be several years before any of them reach the marketplace.

In 2006, Pfizer had to halt a large clinical trial of a similar drug, torcetrapib, because it was believed the drug caused some deaths by raising blood pressure.

The new research will test the Food and Drug Administration’s resolve in demanding that drug companies show true benefits as measured by fewer heart attacks, strokes and deaths rather than just impressive improvements in cholesterol numbers.

Anacetrapib increased HDL cholesterol by an unprecedented 138 percent, while also reducing LDL cholesterol by 40 percent — and that was in people already on cholesterol medication.

The study was published online in the New England Journal of Medicine.

“We need to know more,” said Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist with Yale School of Medicine.

“They are not going to get approval based on the lab results.

It could also cause harm.”

Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs generally reduce heart attacks and strokes by about 30 percent. Anacetrapib has the potential to reduce risk even more, he said, but Merck must do a much larger study to prove that.

There were four deaths from cardiovascular causes in the 808 people in the anacetrapib group and one death in the placebo group. Also, there were 11 deaths from any cause in the anacetrapib group and eight in the placebo group. But the trial was not large enough to show the drug’s effect on deaths or heart attacks.

The trial was defined to test the safety of the drug. An analysis done by the researchers, who are consultants to Merck, found that there was a 94 percent likelihood that the drug would not cause a significant increase in cardiovascular events as the Pfizer drug did.

Merck’s research The anacetrapib trial was funded by Merck, and eight of the 12 authors of the study were Merck employees.

Yale Mitchel, Merck’s vice president for cardiovascular disease research, said the company is on record as saying it would not seek FDA approval for anacetrapib before 2015.

But he would not directly answer whether there were circumstances in which it would seek to get the drug on the market before then.

Merck came close to abandoning research on the drug after the Pfizer drug trial was halted. Both drugs are from the class of agents known as CETP inhibitors.

But, Mitchel said, Merck had its own research suggesting that its drug did not work in the same detrimental way as the Pfizer drug.

The prevailing theory is that HDL removes cholesterol from arteries, taking it back to the liver, where it is excreted.

Michael Cinquegrani, a cardiologist at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa, Wis., said he often sees patients with high LDL and low HDL levels.

While he can get substantial reductions in LDL, raising HDL is a problem.

The drug that has the biggest effect is niacin, but many patients can’t tolerate it because it causes a flushing sensation in the skin, he said.

Kooroush Saeian, a cardiologist with Waukesha Memorial Hospital, said a new drug that raises HDL and reduces heart attacks would be revolutionary.

But, he added, “As physicians, so many times we’ve been sold a drug and then have gotten burned.”

Sylvia Aker hugs new dad Shelby Simpson, left, as his wife, Teresa Ria Simpson, right, looks on. Aker, who works with Teresa at Shasta Administrative Services in Redmond, helped deliver the Simpsons’ baby last week.

Aker said. So she rubbed his back, then gave him mouth-tomouth resuscitation and chest compressions — pushing with just one finger.

He started breathing just as the ambulance arrived.

Emergency medical techni-

cians rushed him to St. Charles Redmond, and from there he was flown to St. Charles Bend.

Sara Mosher, a nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit who helps transport patients, said she was surprised at how well Prescott was doing when she

saw him. She credits Simpson’s co-workers and the crew who stabilized Prescott on the way to the hospital.

“The right people were where they needed to be,” Mosher said.

Meanwhile, Simpson’s husband, Shelby, was hurrying from the couple’s home in Prineville.

His wife’s co-workers had called him, Shelby Simpson said, but he didn’t recognize the number and thought it was telemarketers calling — until a family member called to give him the news.

“I jumped in the car,” he said.

After it was over, everyone asked Aker if she had been nervous, she said.

“You just don’t get nervous until afterward,” she said. “I was just really happy that I could assist in any way, and that he seems to be doing really well.”

Wednesday, she looked in on the newborn, who was born 2½ pounds and 14 inches long.

“Awww, such a sweetheart,” she said, volunteering to be his surrogate grandmother.

She told the Simpsons how she gave such a small infant CPR, rubbing his back before turning him face-up.

“All I needed to hold him was one hand,” Aker said.

Aker and Countryman were “awesome,” Teresa Simpson said, adding that if she won $1 million, she’d give it to them.

“I know it’s not the ideal place to deliver a baby, but I had a nurse on hand, I had really wonderful people,” Simpson said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better place.”

Amid violence, Guinea’s leader declares state of emergency Bloomberg News CONAKRY, Guinea — Guinea’s interim president, General Sekouba Konate, declared a state of emergency Wednesday after two days of post-election violence.

The declaration was read on state-owned radio by Konate’s spokesman, Mohamed Kasse.

It will last until the Supreme Court confirms the final results from the Nov. 7 runoff election, won by opposition leader Alpha Conde.

Three people were reported killed in clashes Wednesday in Conakry, a stronghold of losing candidate and former Prime Minister Cellou Dalein Diallo, Agence-France Presse said, citing a doctor who wasn’t identified.

Guinea has never had a democratic transition of government since independence from France in 1958. It ranks 156th out of 169 nations on the United Nations’ 2010 Human Development Index, a measure of social well-being.

The clashes are certain to deepen ethnic tension between the pro-Conde Malinke and the Peul, the nation’s biggest ethnic group, which mainly backed Diallo, said Mohamed Jalloh, a West Africa analyst at the Brussels-based International Crisis Group.

W B 19 hostages freed in Nigerian military raid LAGOS, Nigeria — A military raid freed 19 hostages held in Nigeria’s oil-rich southern delta Wednesday night, a negotiator said, striking a stunning blow to a resurgent militancy in a region vital to U.S. oil supplies.

The negotiator, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said the operation freed seven expatriate workers kidnapped Nov. 8 from an oil rig working an offshore field for London-based Afren PLC. Another seven Nigerian hostages came from an attack carried out Sunday on an Exxon Mobil Corp. rig operating nearby. The origin of the remaining hostages remained unclear Wednesday night. Others kidnapped included workers for construction company Julius Berger Nigeria PLC.

Reports are mixed on Madagascar coup JOHANNESBURG — Military officers in Madagascar on Wednesday proclaimed that they had seized the government. The mutinous group included some of the same men who had taken over the country last year and handed power to the president they now seek to topple.

Speaking at a barracks near the capital’s airport, Col. Charles Andrianasoavina declared that a military council was assuming power for the “welfare of the people.” But the current government has its own set of loyalist army officers, and President Andry Rajoelina claimed to be nonplused. He told reporters he was “not bothered by declarations from a handful of people,” even though some had “threatened me with death if I don’t step down.”

An Afghan man carries a child over a hillock on the second day of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, or Feast of the Sacrifice, in Kabul on Wednesday. At a summit in Lisbon, Portugal, later this week, NATO is expected to work on a plan for the departure of international troops from Afghanistan.

U.S. could be in Afghanistan beyond 2015, official warns NATO representative voices caution on transition timetable

By Warren P. Strobel McClatchy-Tribune News Service

KABUL, Afghanistan — A top NATO official said Wednesday that a complete handover of security to Afghan forces by 2014 was “realistic, but not guaranteed,” and that the transition could last into 2015 “or beyond.”

Mark Sedwill, NATO’s senior civilian representative in Afghanistan, cautioned that there could be “levels of violence that are, by Western standards, pretty eye-watering” even after 2014.

Sedwill spoke on the eve of a NATO summit in Lisbon, Portugal, at which the alliance is expected to agree on a framework for the eventual departure of international troops from Afghanistan, where they’ve been fighting for nine years.

His remarks appeared aimed at conditioning weary American

and European publics to the likelihood that the transition won’t be clear-cut or inexpensive. They threw the end date for U.S. and other foreign combat forces further into question.

Aides to President Barack Obama now are playing down the deadline of July 2011, when the first U.S. troops are supposed to withdraw — at least according to Obama’s speech last December.

That date has long been a point of contention between the White House, which is trying to allay concerns at home, and the Pentagon, where officials say more time is needed to conduct a counterinsurgency strategy.

Sedwill said there had been a “refocus of attention on 2014” as the transition date.

Under a classified campaign plan that Sedwill and military commander U.S. Gen. David Petraeus submitted in advance of the summit, the Afghan army and police assume control of security in most Afghan provinces four years from now. The process is supposed to begin in the first half of 2011.

It’s a cultural treasure, but how well do you know Mexican food?

Fans hope its new listing by the U.N. will help promote a rich tradition that goes beyond tacos, nachos

By Tim Johnson McClatchy-Tribune News Service

MEXICO CITY — Maligned as unhealthy and misunderstood in its complexity, Mexican cuisine is finally getting its due.

It’s now considered an intangible cultural heritage of humanity, elevated along with French cuisine this week at a meeting of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO. The designation elated culinary experts, who say that diners sometimes fail to appreciate the richness of a cuisine with vast regional variation and use of aromatic herbs and plants, nothing like the cheesy nachos and brittle tacos many Americans eat at restaurants.

Mexico’s Secretariat of Foreign Affairs said on its website Wednesday that the designation provides “global recognition to our cuisine as one of the most important in the world.”

An American who offers culinary tours of Mexico City, Lesley Tellez, said she hopes the recognition will change ideas about Mexican food. “There’s a misconception that it is food covered in cheese and that it’s totally unhealthy. It’s not true,” said Tellez, adding that the U.N. designation “is an affirmation that Mexican cuisine has richness and complexity, and it deserves to be known.”

Last year, several Mexican chefs appealed to UNESCO to honor a culinary tradition based on corn, beans and chili peppers that has roots in the distant past, has maintained continuity over centuries and uses original

Posole is a traditional Mexican soup usually made with corn, pork, chili pepper and other seasonings. “There’s a misconception that (Mexican food) is … covered in cheese and that it’s totally unhealthy.

The designation was made Tuesday at a meeting of the intangible cultural heritage committee of UNESCO in Nairobi, Kenya.

Outside a three-story cooking school in Mexico City, apprentice chef Jose Zelonka Vela said foreigners have a lot to learn about Mexican cooking. “They think Mexican food is just burritos and tacos, and the tacos are made of fried tortillas. This has nothing to do with a Mexican taco,” he said.

Many Mexican signature dishes use a variety of aromatic herbs and are labor intensive, requiring peeling, grinding, boiling and roasting. One national dish, chiles en nogada, little known outside of Mexico, is prepared with a creamy nut sauce, red pomegranate seeds and green cilantro — giving it the bright colors of the national flag.

Oversight hearing focuses on head of recovery agency The mission to uncover waste and fraud in the billions of dollars spent rebuilding Afghanistan has become entangled in a campaign to fire the top U.S. official tracking the money.

A bipartisan group of senators has asked the president to remove Arnold Fields as the special inspector general for Afghanistan Reconstruction, after a negative review this summer put his agency’s law enforcement status at risk. “(Mr. Fields) would best serve his country by stepping aside from this particular job,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., chair of the subcommittee on contracting oversight, at which Fields will testify today.

One way to reduce deficit: Cultivate growth

Calen Jessee, grocery manager at Nature’s General Store, bags groceries in a reusable bag for a customer Wednesday.

The store sells organic cotton bags labeled with soy ink.

FDA expected to respond to news reports; most retailers believe their bags are safe

By Jordan Novet

The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune reported Sunday that laboratory tests the newspaper had funded showed that some reusable grocery bags contained trace amounts or more of lead.

One Target reusable grocery bag, red with white pinstripes, contained 5.5 parts per million of lead. One from Walmart had 3 ppm. The bag states, “Paper or Plastic? Neither.” Bags sold at other stores in Florida had as much as 194 ppm, the Tribune found..

There is no federal standard for lead quantity in grocery bags. However, the

amounts found in the tested bags are less than federal standards for soil in play areas (400 ppm) and paint (600 ppm).

Lead can affect the nervous system, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

Exposure to high levels of the substance could lead to fertility problems for adults and a wide range of health problems for children.

Further, if bag fibers and paint are worn down, they could allow any lead they contain to contact the food, the newspaper reported.

And if people dispose of the bags in landfills without liners, the metal could make its way into bodies of water.

The number and scope of reports on the issue have multiplied this week.

We look back on the late 1990s as a rare time when the federal government ran budget surpluses. We tend to forget that those surpluses came as a surprise to almost everybody.

As late as 1998, the Congressional Budget Office was predicting a deficit for 1999. In fact, Washington ran its biggest surplus in five decades.

What happened? Above all, economic growth. And that may be a big part of the answer to our current problems.

Yes, the government became more fiscally conservative in the 1990s. Both President George H.W. Bush (who doesn’t get enough credit) and President Bill Clinton, working with Congress, raised taxes to attack the 1980s deficits.

But those tax increases were the second most important reason for the surpluses that followed. The most important was that the economy grew more rapidly than expected. The faster growth pushed up incomes and caused more tax revenue to flow into the Treasury.

HONG KONG — China took steps Wednesday to control rising prices at the most basic consumer level. But Beijing faces a severe challenge in preventing higher global commodity prices from igniting broader inflation that could threaten China’s streak of powerful economic growth.

With prices rising this autumn for many commodities like sugar and cotton, the country’s Cabinet announced Wednesday evening that it would impose price controls on food, introduce subsidies for the needy and increase the availability of fuel supplies.

Inside • U.S. businesses divided on currency fight with China, Page B2 So far, the inflation in consumer goods in China has been largely confined to food and energy, and government policymakers want to keep it that way. But avoiding more general inflation could prove difficult.

And in terms of economic diplomacy, the measures announced Wednesday were almost precisely the opposite of the steps the

Obama administration and many Western economists have been urging Beijing to take.

China’s broadly measured money supply has surged in the last two years, soaring 54 percent as its central bank has supported the export economy by intervening in currency markets to keep the renminbi artificially low.

Considerable cash is also sloshing around the Chinese economy because of two years of extremely heavy lending by state-owned banks to finance a highly successful economic stimulus program that has returned the country to double-digit growth.

The number of Americans who pay for TV service has dropped for the second quarter in a row, the media research firm SNL Kagan said Wednesday.

The decline in customers reflected the weak economy, but it also heightened concerns about cord-cutting — concerns that SNL Kagan said were becoming “increasingly difficult to dismiss.”

In the second quarter of 2010, 216,000 people canceled their cable, satellite or telecommunications subscriptions, according to the firm’s research. Distributors as a whole had never endured a decline.

Then it happened again in the third quarter, when 119,000 people canceled subscriptions.

The numbers sent a chill through the TV industry, which depends in large part on the fees collected by TV distributors.

GM Continued from B1 The offering, President Barack Obama said on Wednesday, continues “our disciplined commitment to exit this investment while protecting the American taxpayer.”

The administration had argued that saving GM was not just about one company, but about an entire web of businesses and jobs connected to its fortunes. On Wednesday, the Center for Automotive Research also released a study that said that government assistance to GM and Chrysler saved more than 1.1 million jobs in 2009 and 314,000 jobs this year — the highest figure yet reported.

Indeed, 17 months after the government’s rescue, there has been a broader revival in the American car industry. People involved in the offering process credited recent gains in Ford Motor’s share price as a boon to their own efforts. Largely seen as bloated and incapable of competing with nimbler foreign competitors as recently as last year, automakers like GM and Ford have turned around their operations by wringing greater efficiency and lower costs out of their work forces and finances.

On the upswing Investor demand during the company’s two-week global road show to promote the offering had proved so strong that both administration officials and another major stakeholder, the United Automobile Workers union, elected to sell significantly more shares than planned.

There are reasons for both company and government officials to be confident. GM, freed from much of its debt and overhead costs, became profitable this year and has earned $4.2 billion through the first three quarters. And although it jettisoned four of its eight brands in bankruptcy, the company managed to stabilize its U.S. market share at 19 percent and continue to invest in new vehicles.

“Many of the critics believed it would never come out at all or it would come out wounded,” one senior administration official said on a conference call on Wednesday evening.

Last summer, Ed Whitacre, General Motors’ chief executive at the time, said that he would prefer that the government sell off its stake in one shot. But the sheer size of the Treasury’s holdings made that impossible, according to people involved in the process. Still, the administration’s viewpoint on how much to sell evolved, as it began to see an opportunity to exit its GM investment quickly while maximizing the profits from its stock sales.

“The government began thinking more like a private equity firm,” said one banker involved in the process. (The current chief executive of GM, Daniel Akerson, is a former executive of the private equity firm Carlyle Group.)

Businesses divided over currency fight with China

By David Barboza New York Times News Service

ZHUJI, China — For U.S. business, the ongoing currency dispute with China is a two-sided coin.

On the tails-we-lose side are companies like New York-based PS Brands, one of the biggest U.S. importers of socks. With the Obama administration pressing China to raise the value of its currency, the cost of Chinesemade socks is likely to rise. So PS Brands’ main supplier here is demanding shorter contracts at higher prices.

“Before, I could price six months out,” Elie Levy, chief executive of PS Brands, said during a recent factory visit here.

“Now they only want to price 30 or 40 days out because the dollar could lose value.”

For the heads-we-win side, look to a U.S. company 9,000 miles away, in Irvine, Calif., where the prospect of a weaker dollar is actually good news.

There, Staco Systems, a maker of aerospace electronics, has a growth business selling parts to state-owned aviation companies in China. If anything, a stronger Chinese renminbi would make Staco’s products even more attractive to buyers in China.

PS Brands’ problems, contrasted with Staco’s opportunities, make clear why U.S. businesses are far from unified on whether Washington should be waging a currency fight with China.

J. Emilio Flores / New York Times News Service

Workers assemble products at the Staco Systems factory, a company in Irvine, Calif., that manufactures equipment for military machines. Staco is among the businesses that would benefit from an increase in the value of China’s currency. ries that price their goods in dollars and that already operate on thin profit margins, destroying tens of millions of jobs.

As a result, Beijing has allowed the renminbi to rise against the dollar only moderately, by about 3 percent this year. China’s critics say it needs to rise by as much as 20 percent more.

Balanced trade

Shifting economics

U.S. monetary policy has already caused the dollar to drop in value this year against most other major currencies. But the dollar’s value has fallen only modestly against the renminbi.

That is because Beijing has kept the renminbi artificially low by pegging it to the dollar — instead of letting it float to its market level, as most other global currencies do.

Beijing’s critics say the artificially low renminbi, by making Chinese exports cheaper than they otherwise might be, has helped China run up its huge trade surplus with the United States and much of the rest of the world.

What often gets lost in the heated rhetoric, though, is that U.S. and Chinese officials actually agree in principle that more balanced trade is healthier for the global economy. Where they diverge is on how fast to get there.

The Obama administration wants fast action because it worries that the growing U.S. trade deficit will continue to threaten jobs and economic growth. But Chinese officials worry that letting the renminbi rise too quickly would bankrupt coastal facto-

The challenges to both sides are evident here in Zhuji, two hours south of Shanghai, where Levy arrived recently to negotiate the purchase of about $1 million worth of socks.

PS Brand, which had $58 million in revenue last year, is a private company with 35 employees. Its Chinese supplier is Shuangjin Knitting and Textile, which operates a 300,000square-foot factory here that will produce about 43 million pairs of socks this year. Dealers like PS Brands distribute those socks to customers like WalMart, Adidas and Disney.

On the crisp, autumn day of Levy’s visit, about 75 workers were busy stitching, sorting and packaging thousands of socks headed for America, including labels featuring the cartoon character “Dora the Explorer.”

The factory’s boss, a friendly, 41-year-old entrepreneur named Yang Tiefeng, boasts that he has sock manufacturing down to a science. His facility can churn out 5,000 pairs of socks every hour at a cost of about 25 cents a pair, he says, which at current exchange rates still leaves him a tiny profit.

Analysts say those socks re-

tail in the United States for about $2.99, with the difference divided among shippers, middlemen, marketers and the retailer.

But even without the currency fight, the economics of sockmaking here are shifting. This year, labor shortages in China’s booming coastal factory towns have pushed up factory wages.

And skyrocketing cotton prices, propelled by bad weather in cotton-producing regions, have been an even sharper blow.

During a tour of his factory last week, Yang said the prospect of a strengthening renminbi and a weakening dollar would create more hardship. Most Chinese factories sign long-term contracts in dollars, and if the dollar slides, factories here lose.

“It’s unfair,” Yang says.

Not surprisingly, Shuangjin’s recent negotiation with PS Brands, its biggest U.S. customer, was tense. Levy warned that big retailers back home were pressing him to hold down costs in China because of weak spending by U.S. consumers. Yang countered that he was strained by the soaring cotton prices.

After the talks ended, Yang walked into a conference room and exhaled. He declined to divulge details, saying only that a deal had been struck.

One thing Levy and Yang agree about: it is only a matter of time before pricing pressures in factories like Shuangjin’s result in higher consumer prices for Americans.

On the export side The mood is distinctly different at Staco Systems’ factory in Irvine, where Staco is build-

ing airplane cockpit gear for a state-owned Chinese company named Avic.

The United States long ago surrendered most low-skill manufacturing and assembly to China. But many higher-technology components, like microchips and specialized tools, are still made in the United States.

At Staco’s factory, workers blend precious metals, like gold and silver, with complex plastics to create buttons and switches for plane makers like Boeing and Airbus.

In the past two years Staco has expanded its payroll, to about 100 employees now, and it is selling to China’s fast-growing aviation industry. And with the dollar’s value declining against other currencies, Chinese buyers can afford more of Staco’s gear, as its prices are increasingly competitive with European companies’ products. “China will be our fastest-growing market over the next few years,” said Jason Childs, vice president for sales and marketing at Staco Systems, which is privately held and had revenue of about $20 million last year.

That, in a microcosm, is what U.S. officials want from a stronger renminbi relative to the dollar: more exports and job creation.

But Levy at PS Brands says the rise of the renminbi is going to have cruel side effects: job losses in America’s retail sector and higher prices for consumers.

“This is hurting the U.S. consumer who can afford it the least,” Levy said. “If people are struggling, how are they going to pay more for socks?”

LOS ANGELES — The company that pioneered online book sales wants to go Hollywood.

Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, is launching a website that lets users upload scripts and movie samples and then use community tools to evaluate and edit one another’s work.

Submissions judged the most promising by a panel of experts and company executives will be brought to Warner Bros., where Amazon has signed a deal in hopes of producing feature films under the Amazon Studios name.

Amazon Studios Director Roy Price said his company put the venture together to apply digital technology to the still-arcane process of submitting and developing movie projects for studios.

“It’s much easier now to make movies, but it’s still as hard as ever to break into Hollywood,” said Price, who is also Amazon’s director of digital product development. “We think we can play an interesting role in changing that.”

Users can submit full-length scripts and additional material, including storyboards or fully produced films, to the Amazon Studios site. Other users will then be able to comment or rate the content and even revise it without the permission of the original creator.

In exchange for putting their material in play, users give Amazon an 18-month period of exclusive rights — an “option” in industry parlance — to their work. That type of restriction without payment is likely to deter established filmmakers and screenwriters and make Amazon Studios a home for rookies only.

But a panel of judges, including “Top Gun” screenwriter Jack Epps Jr. and “Bottle Rocket” producer Michael Taylor, will look at the highest-rated material and award monthly and yearly prizes to screenplays and films, Amazon said. Through the end of 2011, the prizes will total $2.7 million.

Amazon can then take projects to Warner Bros. If Warner passes, Amazon can pitch the projects to other studios. A writer or director whose submission is turned into a theatrically released film by a studio would receive $200,000 from Amazon.

Unlike first-look deals with established producers who work on the studio’s Burbank lot, Warner Bros. is not committing any money to Amazon, only agreeing to look at ideas that it submits.

Back in the market When the new GM begins trading today — under its old “GM” ticker on the New York Stock Exchange and “GMM” on the Toronto Stock Exchange — its shares will initially be held by a wide array of investors, from big mutual funds to hedge funds to sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East and Asia. (Shares of the old GM — the bad assets that were split off in bankruptcy as the Motors Liquidation Co. — still trade for pennies but are essentially worthless.)

GM has also agreed to sell a 1 percent stake to SAIC Motor, a major partner of the company in China, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.

Fulfilling an implicit mandate from Treasury, the largest allocation of GM shares have been made to institutions representing American retail investors, these people said. The move was meant in part to blunt criticism that taxpayers would be cut off from participating in what company and government officials insist was a potentially big rise in GM shares. (Several people involved in the offering said they expect to see a potential 10 to 20 percent jump in the share price on Thursday, typical for an initial offering.)

Fed policies leave low-risk savers few good options for investing With CD and bond rates below 2%, inflation could outpace gains

By Gail MarksJarvis Chicago Tribune

Randi Lynn Beach / New York Times News Service

Bob Goldman, a financial planner in Sausalito, Calif., bought long-term care insurance for his mother, Sylvia Goldman, after seeing $100,000 annual bills. But he’s having doubts about whether it will be worth it now that the provider, John Hancock, is seeking to increase prices 40 percent.

Long-term care plans looking less attractive

By Ron Lieber New York Times News Service

November is long-term care awareness month, and to celebrate, a big player in the longterm care insurance industry announced last week that it wanted to get as far away from the business as possible.

Citing well-known challenges to the long-term care insurance industry (but without really saying what they were), MetLife said it would stop underwriting new long-term care policies for individuals after Dec. 30. The company will also cease new enrollments to group and other plans, say, through an employer.

The company added that it would continue paying claims on existing policies as long as customers continued paying premiums. Many of them may not, however, since MetLife recently asked state insurance regulators for permission to raise premiums on many policies by as much as 44 percent.

It wasn’t the only company not charging enough for its policies.

The two leading players in the industry are trying to raise prices, too. Genworth Financial is seeking an 18 percent increase on older policies held by about 25 percent of its customers. And John Hancock has filed for permission to raise premiums for about 80 percent of its customers by an average of 40 percent. It has also temporarily stopped offering new long-term care insurance plans through employers while it tries to figure out what to charge.

State regulators may not bless these requests. But it suggests how far off the companies were in pricing their products.

A doomed industry?

So now that you’re aware of the situation, a question presents itself: Is long-term care insurance doomed?

Let me start by saying that this is a separate question from whether you should plan ahead for the possibility of many hundreds of thousands of dollars in long-term care costs. You should.

One big risk here is facing down a $100,000 annual care bill for years on end and having no savings or insurance. Even if you have a decent amount of savings, you could spend everything and leave your spouse (more often than not a woman) with nothing to live on.

Wealthy people can pay for their own care. And Medicaid covers long-term care for people with no assets, although they may not be able to get the care they want where they want it.

Everyone else either has to save for the possibility that they’ll need care for years or buy insurance to cover the cost. If you’re wondering how likely you may be to make a claim, well, the insurance industry has had some trouble figuring that out, too.

Want some evidence? In the past decade, 11 companies that were once in the top 10 in market share in this area have bailed out, according to Limra, an industry research group.

A MetLife spokeswoman, Karen Eldred, didn’t want to add to the company’s statement from last

New York Times News Service illustration

week. She was more communicative earlier this month when I was finishing a column about longterm care planning.

Here’s what she said then: “Assumptions used to initially price many long-term care insurance products have changed. Evolving assumptions and their impact on pricing is a challenge the industry is facing overall. The primary assumptions that have changed since the initial pricing of these products include: interest rates, persistency, morbidity and mortality experience, which have not materialized as expected.”

Let’s translate that a bit, shall we? Interest rates are low, so the premiums that MetLife invests aren’t earning what they once were. But the costs of care are still rising, so the insurer needs more money to pay for claims.

Payer persistence Morbidity is about figuring out the number of claims and how long they will last. In the old days, long-term care insurance mostly covered nursing homes. People tend to move there as a last resort, when they’re fairly frail. So they don’t usually live long, and thus the claims don’t last that long either.

But when the insurance policies started covering assisted living residences and in-home care, the companies were in new territory.

Those claims turned out to last longer and some people still ended up in nursing homes at the end of their lives, increasing the costs to the insurer.

For Genworth, persistence has been the biggest problem. It expected 5 percent of its policyholders to stop paying premiums and give up the policy each year. Instead, about 1 percent did.

In the Bizarro World of longterm care insurance, it’s a bad thing when too many people keep paying you money. After all, if a customer quits after 10 years of premium payments and never made a claim, that’s pure profit.

But if you’re a customer, you’d be crazy to do that, since in most instances you’d be leaving all of those dollars behind.

Quitting on principle when a company raises your rates 40 percent may feel good, but if you’re 74 years old with osteoporosis, you may not be able to get insurance elsewhere at any price. So people stick around.

MetLife (which provides longterm care insurance coverage to New York Times employees, none of which I buy) also suggests that it wasn’t the only one who messed up, noting that this is an industrywide challenge.

Well, not exactly. The Hartford Insurance Co. has twice looked at entering the long-term care insurance market and was scared off.

“The experience studies were just not long enough and fulsome

enough for us to have credible pricing,” said Brian Murphy, executive vice president of life insurance at Hartford.

It does offer something called a LifeAccess Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, which allows people with certain life insurance policies to use the benefit early to pay for care and other costs under certain circumstances.

Shaken confidence Representatives of Genworth, John Hancock, MassMutual and New York Life all say they are committed to the long-term care insurance business. And now that many of the things that could go wrong already have, they want you to believe that they’ve worked out the kinks.

“How do you have confidence that the product we are selling today will have relative rate stability?” asked Buck Stinson, president of U.S. life insurance products for Genworth. “We took that persistence assumption down to 1.5 percent in the early 2000s and it was 1 percent by 2005.”

That is cold comfort to Bob Goldman, a financial planner in Sausalito, Calif. He and his wife bought long-term care insurance from John Hancock, after seeing $100,000 annual bills for assisted living and other costs for his mother.

But now he fears that the price increases John Hancock is seeking have ruined the product.

“Would you buy insurance that you may not use for 20 years and will cost you three or four thousand dollars a year, and by the way, at any time, we’re going to increase it 40 percent?” he said.

Then, there’s the ever-present concern that insurers will fight every claim tooth and nail.

The doctor’s advice So talk to your doctor. Or talk to your financial planner. Or talk to a doctor who is a financial planner, like Steve Podnos, a pulmonary and intensive care physician in Merritt Island, Fla. When he first started practicing a few decades back, there wasn’t a lot he could do for heart attack victims other than watch them carefully in the hospital.

“We’d sit on them for two or three weeks and hope they did OK,” he said.

Nine years ago, Podnos switched careers to become a financial planner, opening a business called Wealth Care. Having seen how much medicine has advanced, he now advises couples to plan on at least one of them living until 95 or 100.

And if he were working for a long-term care insurance company? He’d abandon any policies that offer unlimited lifetime benefits.

“There will be long-term care insurance,” he said. “But more of the risk is going to be shifted to the consumer.”

Which is really too bad. Insurance is supposed to be for unexpected things that would cause catastrophic losses. But if Podnos is right, you may end up paying more than you expected for decades on end for a policy that only covers part of your bills.

Dominick Tallarico is 63 and so close to retirement that he’s in no mood to take chances with his money.

“I don’t think these problems in the economy are over yet,” he said. But when he scoured the market for a CD or U.S. Treasury bond that would be “safe and pay me some interest,” he came up short. He found interest rates below 2 percent, hardly the type of income he thinks he could live on if inflation clicks in during the years ahead.

“I guess there’s no place safe,” he concluded.

By taking measures to keep interest rates on U.S. Treasury bonds at almost nothing, the Federal Reserve is trying to induce people to take more chances with their money.

Economists say the nudging could drive up the stock market and maybe give corporate decision-makers the confidence to buy equipment and hire people. But that leaves retirees, who tend to try to protect savings from losses, in a rough spot.

“If you want to be a lowrisk saver, there is nothing for you,” said Gregory Seals, director of fixed income and behavioral finance for the CFA Institute. But for those driven to try to increase their income, while assuming more risk, bond experts such as Seals suggests combining riskier bonds with safer bonds so they buffer the risk somewhat and position their money to earn more interest.

It’s not a flawless strategy, said Charles Farrell, a Den-

ver financial planner, who faults the Federal Reserve for trying to push people into high-yield bonds and stocks that could turn into losers.

If the economy goes into a double-dip recession and the stock market plunges, investors could incur sharp losses on higher-risk bonds. It’s a risk Seals acknowledges. But, he said, investors need to realize the risks they are taking in U.S. Treasury bonds or mutual funds that invest in the safe bonds.

Although the Federal Reserve seems intent on keeping interest rates low for at least six months to a year, the assumption is that eventually those rates will go up.

And when interest rates go up, it will force the price on bonds people purchased recently to fall.

So, said Seals, if a person buys a five-year Treasury bond and interest rates go up 1 percent, the price of the bond will go down about 4.5 percent. That won’t hurt an individual who is holding the bond until it matures.

But if the person worries that the interest rate won’t cover the rising cost of living and wants to sell the bond, he will lose money when he sells it.

If the investor buys a 10-year Treasury bond now, and interest rates go up 1 percent, the pain would be worse. Seals notes the bond price would fall about 8 percent to 9 percent. Bond prices act according to a mathematical script and depend on interest rates.

So Seals and other bond experts are telling individuals to be wary about trying to get a little more yield by buying bonds that mature over a long period.

A 10-year Treasury was recently yielding about 2.5 percent compared with a 5-year Treasury at 1.1 percent. But since the price falls more sharply on longerterm bonds than short-term bonds, investors need to realize the extra yield might not compensate for the loss they will take if interest rates jump sharply and bond prices plunge, Seals said.

He suggests another solution for people willing to take on more risk: Hold a combination of various bonds, everything from corporate bonds to foreign bonds, he said. A diversified bond fund will often create these mixtures for investors. For example, Mark Kiesel, managing director and portfolio manager for Pimco mutual funds, said he is blending bonds from many countries. He prefers those from some Asian and Latin American countries over those from the U.S. and Western Europe because some emerging markets are stronger financially than developed markets.

Although Pimco invested heavily in U.S. Treasury bonds a few months ago, Kiesel said, “Treasury gains are over.”

Still, Kiesel acknowledges risks. If the U.S. and Europe go back into a recession, emerging markets will hurt, too, he said.

Lead Continued from B1 Eco-conscious shoppers have flocked to reusable grocery bags in recent years, leaving paper and plastic bags behind to minimize tree-cutting and slowly decomposing landfill waste. This year, some cities, counties and states have considered bans on plastic bags. Just this week, some regions in Los Angeles County banned them.

And so the news about lead in reusable grocery bags arrives with irony — people thought they were using a product that is environmentally friendly, but it turns out they might not be, after all.

Tampa Tribune reporter Richard Mullins wrote in the Sunday article, “The answer for shoppers appears to be: Not all bags are created equal, the lab tests showed. The more elaborate the illustrations on the bags, the more likely they contained toxins. Yellow and green paint on bags is a common carrier of lead.”

Some local grocery stores and supermarkets carry reusable grocery bags.

Deficit Continued from B1 Today’s looming deficits are almost surely too large to be closed exclusively with growth. The baby boom generation is too big, and the rise in Medicare costs continues to be too steep. Yet growth could still make an enormous difference.

If the economy grew one half of a percentage point faster than forecast each year over the next two decades — no easy feat, to be fair — the country would have to do roughly 40 percent to 50 percent less deficit-cutting than it now appears, based on my reading of budget data from economists Alan Auerbach and William Gale.

To get a concrete sense for what this would mean, you can play around with The New York Times’ online deficit puzzle. It asks you to find almost $1.4 trillion in annual spending cuts and tax increases by the year 2030. If growth were a half point faster than expected, the needed savings would instead

Walmart, Trader Joe’s and Target will refund customers for reusable grocery bags they no longer wish to keep, according to spokespeople with those companies.

“At Trader Joe’s, we conduct third-party testing and also require our suppliers to perform regular tests to ensure our reusable bags (sold nationwide)” comply with regulations set by California’s Toxics in Packaging Prevention Act, the California-based company said in a statement.

Target said in a statement, “We have a testing process in place to validate that our Target-brand products comply with all state and federal product safety laws.”

Walmart’s statement said, “Walmart’s reusable bags far exceed industry standards for lead levels in products, including the widely accepted U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s guidelines for children’s toys.

The Tampa Tribune test underscores our own independent (test) results.”

The offerings of Nature’s grocery store in Bend include organic cotton bags with soy ink, said grocery manager Calen Jessee.

The store also sells woven-fabric bags made by the Arizona company GreenSak. Debi Berndt, GreenSak’s owner, wrote in an e-mail that the company’s bags are above standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. Melanie Mesaros, a spokeswoman for the state’s Occupational Safety and Health Division, said the organization had not yet received a complaint about lead in reusable grocery bags from any worker in the state.

“I’m not saying we wouldn’t get one in the future, but … we’re not aware of any yet,” Mesaros said.

Barbara Zeal, program coordinator at the state’s Lead Poisoning Prevention Program, said her organization is looking to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for possible next steps on the regulation front.

drop to less than $700 billion. That would mean many fewer painful choices, be they tax increases or Medicare cuts.

So arguably the single best way to cut the deficit is to make sure that any deficit-cutting plan does not also cut economic growth.

Ideally, it will lift growth.

There are two main ways to do so. First, we shouldn’t plunge ourselves back into another economic slump by raising taxes and cutting spending too quickly. President Franklin D. Roosevelt made that mistake in 1937, and this time (one hopes) the country won’t be able to rely on war mobilization spending to undo the error.

In the short term, we should actually spend more.

“Some politicians and economists present a false choice: reduce unemployment or stabilize the debt,” argues a new bipartisan deficit plan that will be released Wednesday, the second such plan to come out in the past week. As Alice Rivlin, a Democrat who oversaw the writing of the plan with Pete Domenici, a Republican, put it: “We can do both. We

can put money in people’s pockets in the short run and trim government spending in the long run.”

The plan calls for a one-year payroll tax holiday for employers and workers, costing $650 billion.

But remember that’s a one-time sum, while the needed deficit cuts will be hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Relative to those cuts, a payroll tax holiday — or more spending on roads and bridges, as President Barack Obama favors — is a rounding error. And, of course, putting people back to work has its own benefits.

Even more important than the next couple of years is the second part of a pro-growth strategy: the long term. A good deficit plan doesn’t simply make across-theboard cuts for years on end. It cuts funding for programs that do not spur economic growth and increases funding for those relatively few that do. Likewise, it raises tax rates that do not have a clear record of promoting growth and cuts those that do.

This task is not an easy one because advocates and lobbyists inevitably claim that their idea,

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, November 18, 2010 B5

China Continued from B1 But China’s leaders are now clearly worried about the inflationary side effects of those financial policies. The premier, Wen Jiabao, has toured southern China over the past week and was shown on national television late Tuesday expressing concern about rising food prices and promising that the government would take action.

Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor of the central bank, had said earlier Tuesday that the amount of money racing through the global economy was putting pressure on emerging economies that want to control inflation. And Yao Jian, a Commerce Ministry spokesman, said at a news conference Tuesday that the government would tighten scrutiny of foreign investment to prevent too much money from pouring into China as foreign investors seek higher returns than are currently available in the West.

Imposing price controls and other administrative controls on the Chinese economy runs

whatever it is, will help the larger economy. Just look at farm subsidies, a form of welfare for agribusiness that is supposedly crucial to the U.S. economy. Or look at President George W. Bush’s tax cuts, which, after being sold as an economic elixir, were followed by the slowest decade of growth since before World War II. The two bipartisan deficit proposals that have come out over the last week each do a pretty good job, but not quite good enough, of focusing on economic growth.

The most pro-growth part of both proposals — the Domenici-Rivlin plan and the one from Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson — is their emphasis on tax reform.

Today’s tax code is a thicket of deductions, credits and loopholes that force people to change their behavior and waste time trying to avoid too large of a tax bill. A tax code with fewer deductions and lower rates — which, to be clear, is not the same thing as a tax cut — would instead let businesses and households focus on being as productive as possible. The potential to make good money would drive

Continued from B1 When the second-quarter numbers were released in August, some wondered if they were an anomaly in the steady upward march of pay TV, which has been supported by population growth and the popularity of TV. But with the third-quarter numbers also showing a decline, cord-cutting — which is a reference to people who cancel cable and cobble together a low-cost diet of TV via the Internet — is getting a closer look.

Ian Olgeirson, a senior analyst at SNL Kagan, said in a statement Wednesday that cable and satellite companies were “pointing to a continuation of the forces that pushed subscriber gains into negative territory in the second quarter, including the weak economy, high unemployment and elevated churn of former over-the-air households.” However, he added, it is “becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss the impact of over-the-top substitution on video subscriber performance.”

more decisions, and the ability to qualify for a tax break would drive fewer.

Beyond tax reform, both deficit plans mention the importance of making investments that will lead to future growth. In particular, the Bowles-Simpson plan calls for a gradual 15-cents-a-gallon increase in the federal gasoline tax to pay for highways, mass transit and other projects. The plans also urge the government to prioritize education and science.

These are clearly among the best ways to promote growth. The United States created the world’s most prosperous economy last century in large measure because it was the world’s most educated country. It no longer is. Federal science dollars, meanwhile, led to the creation of the intercontinental railroad, the airline industry, the microchip, the personal com-

puter, the Internet and numerous medical breakthroughs. Yet science funding is scheduled to decline as stimulus money runs out.

Unfortunately, the plans don’t get more specific than saying that education and science are important. The only dedicated money for specific investments in either plan is the infrastructure fund financed by the gas tax. And, realistically, exhorting a future Congress to avoid wasteful spending and prioritize growth has about as much chance of success as exhorting it to find the political will to revamp Medicare.

The two bipartisan deficit groups deserve a lot of credit for starting to move the debate beyond vagaries. There is one more step they can take, though: Making sure we remember that cutting the deficit is not only about making cuts.

counter to the steps recommended by many Western experts. They have suggested that China should further deregulate its economy, let the renminbi appreciate and otherwise rely on market forces to tame inflation.

The standard policy prescription from Washington has been that China should raise interest rates as a way to slow investment and prevent the economy from overheating.

And American policymakers from President Barack Obama down have argued that if China would let the renminbi rise against the dollar, oil and other commodities would be less expensive in China, helping to tame inflation. But Beijing has resisted, in large part because Washington’s prescribed medicine would reduce the price competitiveness of Chinese exports to the United States and elsewhere.

Still, even as China is zigging when Washington would rather it zag, some corporate economists are cautiously optimistic that China may be able to tame inflation with its approach — for now, at least.

New-home construction falls more than expected

By Alejandro Lazo Los Angeles Times

Construction on new residential buildings fell 11.7 percent in October, far worse than many analysts had expected and providing fresh evidence that the real estate market is struggling as it enters the traditionally slow winter season.

The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that housing starts fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 519,000 last month, a 1.9 percent decline from October 2009.

The weakness was concentrated in the market for buildings with multiple units: apartments and condominiums. That segment of the residential construction industry is volatile, and starts tend to vary from month to month.

Single-family home construction was also fairly anemic in October, with starts falling 1.1 percent from September to a rate of 436,000 units a month.

Michael Larson, an interest rate

and housing analyst with Weiss Research, said home builders were struggling.

“The construction industry remains mired in the muck,” Larson said. “This should not come as a surprise. We have so many existing, distressed homes for sale already, and

even more will hit the market once various foreclosure moratoriums expire. That means builders have little incentive to ramp up production, despite stabilization in sales rates.”

Regionally, starts dropped 30.5 percent in the West and 13.4 percent in the South. They rose 1 percent in the Midwest and 12.9 percent in the Northeast. The number of permits issued on residential buildings was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 550,000 in October, up 0.5 percent from the month before but down 4.5 percent from October 2009.

In another sign that the housing market is in a rut, applications for mortgages fell last week as interest rates jumped.

The Mortgage Bankers Association said Wednesday that its market composite index, which measures the volume of home loan applications, fell 14.4 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis last week compared with the week before.

Google reaches deal with French publisher

By Eric Pfanner and David Jolly New York Times News Service

PARIS — Google said Wednesday that it had reached a deal with the publisher Hachette Livre, which has broken ranks with its French rivals and agreed to allow Google to scan thousands of out-of-print books for its digital library project.

Under the agreement, which follows a landmark settlement with U.S. publishers last year, Google will be allowed to sell the books it scans as e-books or in other electronic formats.

But there is one important

difference between the U.S. settlement and the deal with Hachette, the largest publisher in France and the No. 2 trade publisher by sales worldwide, after Pearson. Hachette, not Google, will determine which of the books covered by the deal — those that remain under copyright but are no longer commercially available — can be scanned.

Google and Hachette will share revenue from sales but declined to say how they will divide it. Under the provisional U.S. deal, Google is to receive

37 percent and the rights holders the rest. The deal reached Wednesday is nonexclusive, so Hachette will be able to make the same books available for other electronic selling platforms.

Arnaud Nourry, chief executive of Hachette Livre, said Hachette will control pricing, which should be in line with prices for new books.

The agreement could “serve as a framework for other French publishers and maybe other publishers around the world,” said Daniel Clancy, engineering director of Google Books.

Dugan names his successor to prosecute case of missing Bend woman Lori Blaylock

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

Deschutes County District Attorney Mike Dugan said Wednesday that he has appointed his successor to serve as a special prosecutor on a high-profile murder case.

And beginning next week, he said DA-elect Patrick Flaherty

C

will be in his office, meeting with deputy district attorneys and other staff members about major cases, the office’s budget and other issues.

Flaherty’s short-term appointment is to assist with the case of Lori “Woody” Blaylock, a 48-yearold Bend woman who disappeared late last month and is presumed

dead. Her husband, Steven Paul Blaylock, was arrested last week and is scheduled to be arraigned Friday if a grand jury indicts him.

“He’s going to be the prosecutor when that case is going to trial or when it comes up for any motions, so it would be best if he was on top of it,” Dugan said.

The announcements appear to be a significant step forward in a transition that has become controversial in recent months, though Dugan said “quite of bit of stress” remains in his office

about the start of Flaherty’s term in January.

After Flaherty defeated Dugan in the May election, there was little communication between the two — or between Flaherty and current deputy prosecutors — until Flaherty notified one chief deputy that he would no longer be employed once Dugan leaves office.

In the following weeks, deputy district attorneys voted to form a union in order to push for job security.

BEND COUNCIL

Citing abuse, city will end parking validation

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

Time to clear the path

Bend city councilors decided Wednesday to get rid of a downtown parking validation program that has been fraught with abuse since it was implemented in May 2009.

Under the program, a person who gets a ticket for parking over the time limit can have it overturned by attaching a receipt showing that he or she had spent at least $10 while in downtown Bend.

However, city officials have found that this incentive has not been sustainable for the parking fund, and has cost the city an estimated $73,455 in unrealized revenue from overturning tickets as well as enforcement and administration expenses.

There has also been a significant amount of abuse in the program because downtown business owners and employees attempt to validate their own parking tickets.

According to city figures, of the 2,187 citations submitted for validation, over 21 percent have been rejected. Most of this is attributed by the city to downtown business owners and employees trying to get out of their tickets.

“I think it’s been full of abuse and that’s not acceptable,” Mayor Kathie Eckman said shortly before the council voted unanimously to kill the validation program.

Ends on Dec. 31

Snow expected on Mt. Bachelor; lower elevations mostly clear

C

entral Oregon should see the coldest temperatures of the fall over the next few days, but significant snow at lower elevations is unlikely, according to the National Weather Service.

General forecaster George Perry with the NWS office in Pendleton said Bend could wake up to a couple inches of snow

this morning, but should expect no more than a half an inch Thursday and Friday nights. Areas near the crest of the Cascades and on the west side of the crest should see more snow, Perry said, but little moisture is expected to make it to Central Oregon.

Little snow is forecast north of Bend, however Sunriver and La Pine could see 3 inches to 8 inches by this morning and another 2 inches to 5 inches during the

day today before dryer air moves in to the region.

As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, the NWS was projecting 9 inches to 13 inches of snow to fall at Mt. Bachelor overnight, with another 6 to 10 inches during the day today.

The resort is currently hoping to open Nov. 24.

Avion files request to increase water rates by 17 percent

CENTRAL OREGON COMMUNITY COLLEGE

The Bulletin

Customers of the Avion Water Co. could be in line for a rate increase of nearly 17 percent under a rate request filed with the state Public Utility Commission.

Avion and the PUC hosted a lightly attended open house Wednesday night to explain the reasoning behind the rate request and take testimony from utility customers. Michael Grant, chief administrative law judge for the PUC, said the commission will be reviewing the utility’s request for a 16.9 percent rate increase until late January, and a rate increase could go into effect by next spring.

The utility provides water to roughly 10,820 residential customers in southeast Bend, and 1,316 commercial, irrigation and fire protection customers.

Jeff Wick, vice president of Avion Water Co., said the request for a rate increase is largely driven by rising electricity and personnel costs. Since he began working at the company in 2003, the monthly cost of Avion’s health insurance premiums has gone from $18,000 to $30,000, Wick said, even with the elimination of optical coverage and the scaling back of dental coverage.

Central Oregon Community College will build berms on the northeast end of its campus to give students an outdoor instructional space and neighbors a natural protection from the campus.

Vice President for Administration Matt McCoy told the board last week about the college’s plans, which include building several 4-foot berms at the edge of a parking lot and planting evergreens, native shrubs, ground cover and flowers on the northeastern edge of campus.

“This has been an area of campus we’ve been looking at for the last couple of years,” he said. “If you look at the campus in general, this particular corner of campus isn’t being utilized to the

Campus leaders hope planned berms will improve outdoor area le Circ

fullest extent possible.”

McCoy said when the college completed a zone change last year that allowed it to create a mixed-use development on another part of campus, administra-

tors were forced to examine how well all the open land on campus was being used.

The area also came to administrators’ attention after neighbors complained about light from the parking lots at night.

“Neighbors were asking questions about what we would do with that area, if anything at all,” McCoy said. “We want to be cognizant of the impact that the campus has on neighbors, and this will help create a green buffer as we have more and more activity on campus.”

After discussing ideas with COCC’s forestry and biology teachers, as well as Oregon State University-Cascades Campus sustainability professors, the group decided on the berm project.

See Berms / C6

The program will officially end on Dec. 31, after the holiday shopping season comes to an end. City staff will also explore new parking options designed to not penalize downtown shoppers who spend a little too much time away from their vehicle while spending their money.

Two options that were discussed Wednesday include giving someone who gets a parking ticket a voucher to park for free in the parking garage in the future or creating a program that allows business owners to give a coupon to individuals whose time is about to expire.

Councilors seemed keen on the second option, and Bend Downtown Manager Jeff Datwyler said that system could work by simply having business owners call or text message parking enforcement officials to extend an individual’s time in a parking space.

In other news, councilors decided not to pursue an ordinance that would make sitting or lying on a downtown sidewalk a violation of city code.

The city explored the possibility of creating such a law after a number of complaints from downtown business owners who were concerned about loiterers around their storefronts.

In particular, there have been concerns about Riverfront Park and the nearby breezeway that leads into the heart of downtown’s business district.

But while some councilors acknowledged that there is a problem with loitering downtown that needs to be solved, others felt the sitting and lying ordinance wasn’t a viable solution.

Bend man arrested in alleged kidnapping A 19-year-old Bend man who allegedly kidnapped and threatened a woman he is suspected of sexually assaulting earlier this fall was arrested Monday.

Nicholas Earl Waldbillig, 21, was arrested Sept. 30 after he allegedly forced a 19year-old Bend woman to engage in sodomy while in his car in Juniper Park. Police said Waldbillig threatened the woman with what was later found to be a replica of a gun and took her to an industrial area in southeast Bend, where he continued to assault her.

He was lodged in the Deschutes County jail on suspicion of sodomy, sexual abuse, kidnapping and menacing, but he was released Oct. 4 after he posted $25,000 bail.

Now, Waldbillig is accused of kidnapping the same young woman.

At about 6 p.m. Sunday,

Waldbillig allegedly contacted the woman at her workplace, showed her a handgun and forced her into his vehicle, according to a news release from the Bend Police Department.

He took her cell phone and drove her to his home on Walker Road, where he held her until Monday. The woman who was allowed to leave only after she agreed not to testify against Waldbillig in the sexual assault case, reported the incident to police.

On Tuesday, detectives served a search warrant at Waldbillig’s home and seized evidence including an air soft pistol and a pellet pistol, the release said. Officials are not sure if the pistols were used in the alleged kidnapping.

Waldbillig is being held at the Deschutes County jail on suspicion of first-degree kidnapping, first-degree robbery, menacing, coercion, tampering with a witness and violating a restraining order. His bail is set at $600,000.

Higher costs, lagging revenues may raise rates, BPA chief says The Associated Press EUGENE — Falling revenue and rising costs are pushing the Bonneville Power Administration toward rate increases it has so far avoided by tapping into hefty financial reserves.

Stephen Wright, the chief of the federal power marketing agency, told utilities at a meeting in Eugene that plenty of snow and an economic recovery could ease some of the financial pressure.

But Wright said BPA system maintenance and improvement costs are up, and surplus energy sales revenue is dropping, so the agency plans to raise rates in 2011, The Register-Guard reported.

Bonneville was scheduled to file its rate request with the federal government Thursday and was expected to ask for an increase of between 6 percent and 10 percent.

Underscoring the level of uncertainty, the agency also wants permission to impose a second rate increase in 2012 if the economy stays flat, rain doesn’t fall or unexpected expenses crop up.

Those rate increases will hit Lane County utilities that get much of their power from the BPA. The impacts for residential, commercial and industrial rate payers depend on the individual utilities.

Cyd and Gary Ropp told the Daily Tidings they were walking their two dogs near Ashland’s downtown Post Office last weekend when a deer reared up on its hind legs and attacked the dogs.

The attack lasted for more than three minutes and left the couple bloody and bruised from falling on the pavement to avoid the doe, as they tried to protect their dogs.

The dogs were not injured.

State cracks down on unlicensed electricians

Crashes all too common in I-5’s ‘Bermuda Triangle’

By Nathalie Weinstein

GRANTS PASS — One day last week, 43-year-old Bill Costa of Fortuna, Calif., was tooling along in his Dodge pickup, northbound on Interstate 5.

He crested 1,730-foot Smith Hill Summit, and started down the hill toward Wolf Creek. It had been raining.

On a sweeping right-hand turn, he started fishtailing and rolled his truck. Luckily, he and his father were not injured.

“He told me he was doing the speed limit,” said Oregon State Police Senior Trooper Kirk Melahn. “Most people I talk to tell me they were doing the speed limit, and it’s the freeway’s fault.

“People seem to think they’ll have the same traction on wet pavement as dry pavement,” he added.

259 crashes between mileposts 66 and 81, roughly the Hugo to Glendale exits, according to ODOT. The six years 1999 through 2004 had 393, and the six years 2004 through 2009 had 373.

Of all those crashes, 20 involved fatalities.

The vast majority are caused by people driving too fast and either rolling or skidding off the road. Most of the crashes involve only one car. The age group 20 to 29 has the highest frequency, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the three heaviest crash days.

“It’s a major problem,” said Melahn, who said he cites a lot of drivers up there. “They keep wrecking up there, racking them up.”

“I’ve heard a lot of people say they had their cruise control on,” Leonard said.

Former ODOT District Manager John Vial said nowhere else in Oregon else does I-5 have that many curves and steep grades.

In 1994 ODOT repaved the freeway from Hugo to Azalea with a more porous mix of asphalt, called F-mix, which would reduce spray and standing water.

Repaved in 1997 But a fatal wreck in December 1994 was blamed on the new mix, and ODOT cut grooves into the pavement to increase traction. Finally, the whole section was repaved starting in 1997.

ODOT and a construction company settled for $110,000 in the wreck, which killed Illinois Valley High School graduate Kevin DeMersseman, who was 20 years old at the time of the

crash.

ODOT said there are no longer any effects from the F-mix used at the time, and statistics indicate that crashes have increased since the F-mix was removed.

Others have blamed banking of the roads, but Vial said extensive tests done on the banks of the curves all show they are within specifications. Melahn added that increased banking on the section just north of Mount Sexton reduced the number of crashes a few years ago.

The number of crashes are spread fairly evenly between Sexton, Smith Hill and Stage Road. From 2004 through 2009, the two-mile stretch either side of the summits showed 86 for Stage Road, 74 for Smith Hill and 65 for Sexton.

More warnings In the past 20 years, ODOT has tried to warn drivers. There are electronic reader boards at the Glendale and Hugo interchanges, which actually say the road is slick when wet.

Both southbound and northbound lanes at Smith Hill have amber-colored warning signs for 45 mph, along with large arrows on the especially sharp southbound curve. Southbound Smith Hill also has a 55-mph real speed limit, compared with 65 everywhere else.

ODOT plans to add a third truck climbing lane on Sexton beginning in 2013, and will repave the whole section between Glendale and Hugo. It also wants to add truck-climbing lanes for Smith Hill and Stage Road passes, but funding hasn’t been approved yet.

The hilly, curving section of I-5 that includes Mount Sexton, Smith Hill and Stage Road passes north of Grants Pass is the Bermuda Triangle of Interstate 5 in Oregon, despite warning signs. The No. 1 reason is, simply, drivers going too fast.

Melahn said prior to Costa’s crash there were 10 crashes in two weeks on Smith Hill alone. In the past 16 years, the worst months are October and November, when the first heavy rains fall, according to Oregon Department of Transportation figures.

November 2001 (23 crashes), November 1999 (21), November 2005 (20), October 2005 (20), and November 2003 (17) are the worst crash months.

Crash numbers are lower in midwinter, when conditions are worse, because drivers are more cautious.

“If it’s a rainy weekend, we’ll get six or eight crashes,” said Lonnie Leonard, who founded Caveman Towing in 1972. “It’s been that way since I started the business.”

Actually, the last decade it’s been worse. The six-year block 1994 through 1999 had

PORTLAND — When Brian Myers, owner of Traditional Electric LLC, decided to perform electrical work without a license, the worst punishment he thought he could receive was a fine.

Then the Oregon Building Codes Division slapped him with a court injunction, which could mean bigger fines and even jail time if he were to continue to perform electrical work.

BCD enforcement officer Brent Griffiths said Myers and another chronic offender recently were hit with court injunctions because they repeatedly violated Oregon law by performing unlicensed electrical work.

Most people pay $260 for a license after being fined for working without one, Griffiths said; however, others continue to work illegally. The only remedy, he added, is an injunction.

“The law only allows (the BCD) to assess penalties and often, people just don’t pay attention to those,” Griffiths said.

“When we see persons with those patterns, we get an injunction, which forces them to look at probation and possibly jail time for continuing to do unlicensed work.”

Myers was first fined in 2007 when he worked for a contractor in Salem. He was fined twice this year for working without a license. In September, the BCD permanently revoked his ability to get a license and issued Traditional Electric LLC a $39,000 fine. The last activity Myers performed, he said, was a favor for a friend.

“I had no clue I could be charged with a crime,” Myers said. “If I would have known that, I would have never touched anything. It was a stupid decision.”

In 2008, Myers replaced an electrical meter main along Northwest Cornell Road in Portland and neglected to restore the locked protective devices, exposing the public to potential injury or death by electric shock.

Griffith said he pursued an injunction because Myers’ installations were reckless.

So why do people continue to work under the radar after multiple fines and threats of legal action? Griffith thinks they often are desperate or believe they won’t be caught. Myers said he won’t touch a piece of electric equipment again.

He is interviewing for jobs, and hopes that employers will overlook the blemish on his record.

HILLSBORO — Four students who overdosed on OxyContin pills at R.A. Brown Middle School in Hillsboro are expected to recover.

Police said the two boys and two girls took about 15 of the pills that were brought to school Monday by one of the boys, who had taken them from his mother.

The students were treated at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center. One girl had her stomach pumped and was kept overnight for observation.

School district spokeswoman Beth Graser told The Oregonian that some students reported that the four students were sick because of the pills.

Population up nearly 21,000 since 2009 PORTLAND — There are nearly 21,000 more people in Oregon this year than in 2009.

Preliminary population estimates by Portland State University shows that Oregon had 3,844,195 people in 2010, up from 3,823,465 last year.

The increase is only 0.5 percent, marking the fourth straight year of slowing population growth for Oregon, and the slowest growth since the 1980s.

Growth is the difference between the number of births and deaths, and the number of people moving in or out of the state, called net migration.

The Herald and News in Klamath Falls reported that Nevada Geothermal Power Inc. and Ormat Nevada Inc. are expected to begin drilling the first of three geothermal wells near the community of Adel later this month.

The plant should generate up to 30 megawatts of power and is scheduled to be in service before the end of 2013.

Crump Geyser lies about 34 miles east of Lakeview near the Nevada border.

UO to ban smoking, tobacco by 2012 EUGENE — The University of Oregon plans to ban smoking and tobacco on campus by 2012.

The school is also going to offer students, faculty and staff some help kicking the habit during the transition.

The university says it’s the first in the Pac-10 to announce plans to ban smoking and tobacco.

The announcement came Wednesday, the same day that a coalition of public health organizations released a report showing Oregon ranks 25th nationally in funding programs to prevent children from smoking and helping smokers quit.

The report said Oregon spends $7.1 million a year on tobacco prevention and cessation programs, well short of the $43 million recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Disaster test shows financial data safe SALEM — A disaster recovery test by the Oregon State Treasury shows that financial data is secure and now can be accessed even faster remotely if a major earthquake or other disaster strikes.

State Treasurer Ted Wheeler said the simulation is run each year on the computer network which protects public funds.

The treasury handles millions of banking transactions annually for state agencies and local governments, including cities, counties and school districts.

The treasury network protects and monitors $70 billion in investments managed on behalf of public retirees, local governments, schoolchildren and other beneficiaries.

Groundwater option deserves serious study

B

end’s councilors were in a great hurry several years ago when they launched the city’s public transit system. Taxpayers had said on multiple occasions that they didn’t

want it, but councilors knew what was best and, besides, had tired of public debate. So they took the plunge.

We all know how that worked out. The bus fleet the city snapped up in its haste turned out to be junk, and the operational cost of the transit system has been a consistent burden.

Nowadays, City Council is in a great hurry to rebuild its surfacewater system. The project’s been in the works for quite some time, to be sure. But a noteworthy group of local professionals, including Old Mill District developer Bill Smith and local attorney Bill Buchanan, have begun to question the wisdom of the city’s course. Wouldn’t it be better, both environmentally and financially, to scrap the hugely expensive surface water project and drill more wells instead, they ask?

City Council, with the exception of Jim Clinton, responded to this eruption of skepticism by pulling its old bus system stunt. On Nov. 3, councilors voted to move ahead with the surface water project, presumably hoping to end debate. It hasn’t worked, and it shouldn’t. Bend paid only six figures for its junk bus fleet.

The surface water project is expected to cost between $54 million and $74 million.

We’re not arguing that the city should throw up its hands and give up on its project. Rather, it ought to pause long enough to commission a thorough comparison of the costs and benefits of both options.

That comparison, by the way, should be prepared by an organization whose involvement won’t raise eyebrows, which automatically rules out HDR Engineering Inc. The city, having already hired HDR to work on its surface water project, asked the company recently to figure out how much it would cost to ditch the surface-water option and drill wells instead.

The result — surprise! — heavily favors the surface-water project and — surprise! — has failed to convince groundwater-only proponents who have faulted HDR’s conflict and its assumptions. They argue, for instance, that the company has exaggerated the future price of electricity, which inflates the estimated cost of pumping. They also argue that HDR fails to account for the value of the additional water that would flow through Tumalo Creek if the city scrapped its surface water diversion and relied instead entirely upon wells.

We don’t know which side’s right, but the city’s proposal is highly inconsistent with the regional trend in water management, which seeks opportunities to increase surface water flows, especially in water bodies (like Tumalo Creek) that feed and cool the Middle Deschutes. That’s why taxpayers have spent millions

We’re not arguing that the city should throw up its hands and give up on its project. Rather, it ought to pause long enough to commission a thorough comparison of the costs and benefits of both options.

That comparison, by the way, should be prepared by an organization whose involvement won’t raise eyebrows. of dollars lining and piping irrigation canals. And that’s why it’s entirely reasonable to consider the streamflow opportunities presented by the groundwater-only option.

Of course, the city’s case for surface water is also reasonable. Delivering piped surface water to Bend residents requires very little energy, and pumping water requires quite a bit. And last we checked, electricity wasn’t free.

But City Council did itself no favors by commissioning HDR to crunch the groundwater-only numbers, and then, on the strength of HDR’s report, voting to sweep the groundwater-option off the table entirely. The council’s rush job has met the suspicion it deserves. If the council didn’t believe the groundwater-only option deserved further consideration, why did it order up a comparative analysis? And if the council did truly want a closer look at the costs and benefits, why did it hire its surface water engineering firm to do the job?

Commissioning a new comparison will cost money and time, complicating the city’s desire to synchronize the surface water project with the reconstruction of Skyliners Road. But the exercise is worth the cost. Bend residents will have to live with (and pay for) the surface water project for decades to come. They’ll also have to sacrifice healthier flows in Tumalo Creek and the Deschutes River. Before moving forward, the city owes taxpayers a fully credible comparison of costs and benefits.

What Bend residents don’t deserve is a city council committed unswervingly to one course of action regardless of the public’s legitimate reservations. We’ve been there already with Bend’s problem-plagued bus system. We don’t need to do it again with a $74 million surface water project.

Chatty media Those of us old enough will remember the slogan, “loose lips sink ships.”

It was used during World War II as a reminder that every verbal and written communication may have dire consequences to national security. The enemy listens to everything we say.

In the 1940s, Oregon Gov. Earl Snell, my wife’s grandfather, went to great lengths to make sure that the Japanese were not informed that the balloon bombs being sent by air currents over his state were successfully causing damage and loss of life. He made sure there were no loose lips in Oregon.

Fast forward to 2010.

We have given very useful information to the terrorists in Yemen. I am sure they are delighted to know that their explosive devices were not detected on planes coming into the United States. Our loose-lipped media told the whole world that the system does not work and planes can still be blasted out of the sky.

In the interest of national security, the media should be made to restrain themselves and not aid the enemy. The enemy is listening, and we are telling them everything they need to know.

A few weeks back, The Bulletin editorial page said “no” to the DMV in Brookswood Meadow Plaza.

A recent Bulletin editorial (“City should resist DMV backlash”) says “no” to the planning commission’s zoning change. If the zoning code is not changed, the DMV issue could happen again in Brookswood Meadow Plaza or any other neighborhood in Bend.

I think the Bend planning commission’s recent decision to change the convenience commercial zoning code strikes a “fair balance” between what the CCZ/plaza owners would want, which is unlimited traffic, with its host of problems, for the purpose of more customers, and what the neighborhood would want, which is limited traffic, but neighborhood services. The zoning changes would allow government services — a branch library (not the main library), a branch post office (not the main post office), etc. — would be acceptable in a “neighborhood center.”

This code change then would follow with the city’s general plan of providing for the needs of the surrounding neighborhood. A city-wide government point-of-service was not the intent of the current zoning code for neighborhoods.

This change would then tighten up the zoning code, so it wouldn’t happen again. I urge the Bend City Council to approve the planning commission’s zoning code changes.

Review DMV site I’ve recently had two reasons to visit the present DMV location. On my first visit, I could not find a parking space and had to wait until someone pulled out. During the second visit, I found only a few open spaces.

In my estimation, there are more parking spaces at the present DMV location than there are at Brookswood Meadow Plaza, the proposed location.

There are people who do not drive to the DMV, but use surface (bus) transportation. Is it DMV’s intent to have Bend Area Transit extend or develop new routes to accommodate them?

I firmly believe it is incumbent on the City of Bend to totally review this situation and make the DVM file a parking comparison, transportation, neighborhood and full usage impact report by an independent expert agency. It is my

Deschutes County shouldn’t tie new DA’s hands

By Chris Cappuccio Bulletin guest columnist

As a concerned citizen and taxpaying member of Deschutes County, I feel the need to voice my opinion regarding the negotiation of a new contract with the Deschutes County Deputy District Attorneys Association. My specific attention is given to the “just cause” termination clause.

The Bulletin published an article recently titled “Agreement nears on attorney union; Deschutes deputy district attorneys may be close to deal with the county.” As the county is apparently near completion, I would urge it to reconsider providing a “just cause” clause in this negotiation. Given the recent news regarding Patrick Flaherty’s notification provided to the deputy attorneys, establishment of this clause is likely the only true motivation for the formation of the union.

The DCDDAA is asking for protection

that is not given to the vast majority of workers, deputy district attorneys or otherwise, throughout the state. Of course, as an “at-will” employment state, “just cause” protection is not a default option here.

It is standard practice when an elected official takes a public office that he or she is able to choose his chief officers.

To hamstring the incoming district attorney in his choice of deputies is clearly a move against the will of the voters who removed District Attorney Mike Dugan after 23 years of service.

In a previous Bulletin article, County Administrator Dave Kanner is quoted as saying that Patrick Flaherty should be able to choose deputies “based on their prosecutorial philosophy.” This is in accordance with Oregon law, which provides for a district attorney’s ability to appoint his deputies.

The public has voted for a change. By giving the DCDDAA such a significant last-minute concession, the county is put-

IN MY VIEW ting the county itself at risk for ongoing financial consequences. It ensures the county will be embroiled in high-cost lawsuits from former deputies if they are terminated. It ensures that taxpayer money will be diverted to these lawsuits instead of being used for the services that we need on a daily basis.

Violating the spirit and the will of the decision of the voters and taxpayers in this county is not a decision to be taken lightly. We have asked for a change from the overreaching prosecutions well-known from Mike Dugan’s decades of service. We have asked for a new face, a new prosecutor to take the reins. We have asked for fair treatment, for all members of the public to be treated equally. We have asked for justice, not politics, to become the slogan of our prosecutor’s office.

Through statements made to The Bulletin, Deputy District Attorney Jody Vaughan would have the public believe that changes to the staffing at the DA’s office would stop the job of prosecutors.

While it is likely that some cases may be delayed for a short period of time, the work of the county prosecutor simply will not stop. To claim otherwise is an exercise in absurdity.

Dugan has started a carnival show by asking the Oregon Judicial Department to begin prosecuting cases on behalf of the Deschutes County district attorney where the defense attorney is Flaherty’s wife. He is assuming that Flaherty is corrupt and biased towards clients of his wife. This is an extraordinary claim to make. I can only assume that it represents Dugan’s own reflection, subconscious or otherwise, on his own behavior and biases.

The next Bulletin story regarding Jody Vaughan tells that she is worried

about termination by Flaherty for prosecuting cases represented by his wife, a defense attorney.

I find this claim very hard to believe.

Many attorneys on opposing sides are cordial, friendly, and work together on cases, even while representing opposite opinions. If this is truly a conflict of interest, then the deputies who are married to non-county attorneys should also step aside. Yet they won’t, because this is a patently ridiculous position to take.

The public is better served by its officials following through on their pledges.

The county should let Patrick Flaherty follow through on his pledges. I am not the only person who feels that the county’s negotiation with the DCDDAA is unnecessary and counterproductive.

The county should not tie the hands of the new district attorney before he starts his job.

Thomas (Tom) Legore Coles died peacefully at his home in Bend, Oregon, on November 13, after a brief period of declining health. Tom was the owner for more than 30 years of the California Sportsman ski shops in Southern Thomas Legore California.

Tom was Coles born to Reginald and Ethel Coles (Legore) on March 1, 1925, in Glendale, California. He attended high school at Herbert Hover High in Glendale.

During World War II he worked at Baxter Laboratories producing medical supplies for the war effort. Although he did not attend college, he would become a student of many sports activities over the rest of his life.

He married Elizabeth (Bette) Allen in October 1961. Bette and he were together as partners in life for more than 48 years. Tom lived and worked in Southern California till 1987 when he moved to Santa Maria, California. He moved to Bend in 1997, and lived there till his passing.

At the age of 17, during some of the earliest days of skiing in the United States, Tom took up an interest in skiing that would influence his life’s path profoundly. He got his ski instructors certification at Alta, Utah, in 1944.

Tom, along with one Austrian instructor, comprised the entire ski school staff at Mt. Waterman ski area near Los Angeles. He worked at and ultimately became owner of the ski shop, California Sportsman. He and Bette built the business to five locations and sold it in 1986. Tom was a true pioneer in the ski business in Southern California.

Throughout his life, Tom took up new sports interests.

Whatever he took on, he became a true student of that sport and would go to great efforts to be the best he could.

Like skiing, his interests in golf would also influence his life journey. He was a member at Riviera Country Club, Santa Maria Country Club and was on of the earliest members of the Broken Top Club, in Bend. He was a member of the Southern California Golf Association and a rules official for them. The third sport that he would take up was sailing and sailboat racing. He was quite successful at it, winning many trophies over 20 years. He was an active member at California Yacht Club in Los Angeles. Tome remained active and skied and golfed into his eighties. Through all these activities, Tom would meet and become friends with many people. All would think of him as one of the most fair and honest people they knew and truly a really “nice guy”.

Tom is survived by his wife, Bette: his son, Tim (Mary) Coles; and his sister, Regina Cobb. Tom was preceded in death by his daughter, Jill. He is also survived by his and Bette’s eight grandchildren, Monica, Andrew, and Alayne Coles, and Alden, Anna, Austin, Paul-Andrew, and Zachary Allen.

After that move, one prosecutor raised questions about an ethical conflict in working on a rape case in which Flaherty’s wife was serving as defense counsel.

“I sent an e-mail to my staff on the day after the election that said I want to work with Mr. Flaherty make sure there’s a smooth transition into my office,” Dugan said. “But the transition time wasn’t in May or June or July or August. The transition time is November and December.”

Meanwhile, county officials and the Deschutes County Deputy District Attorney’s Association appear to be close to an agreement on a contract.

The document, which includes a provision requiring the district attorney to provide cause before dismissing an employee, will likely be sent to the Deschutes County Commission for approval in December.

Dugan said he and Flaherty did not discuss the issue in a meeting Wednesday. Flaherty could not be reached for comment.

But Dugan said he’s glad to see things moving forward, with less than two months remaining before the leadership change in the office.

The only Avion customer to testify at Wednesday’s meeting was Jack Bloom, who took issue with the utility’s past capital improvement projects and asked why the promised increases in efficiency had not resulted in lower water rates.

Wick said the projects had improved efficiency, and that Bloom and other customers pay lower rates than they would have had the projects not been completed. Avion would require nearly twice as many maintenance personnel had the utility not invested in replacing 78 aging wells with 11 modern highcapacity wells. He said its water rates are competitive.

Erin Golden can be reached at 541-617-7837 or at egolden@bendbulletin.com.

Grant said the PUC’s review of the rate request will involve an examination of the figures submitted by Avion to determine if their costs match up with those of other utilities. The PUC may choose to approve a smaller rate increase, Grant said.

The PUC’s rulings on rate levels are designed to include a pre-determined profit margin for the utility’s owners — if Avion’s full rate increase is granted, Avion investors would see a rate of return of 7.5 percent.

Peggy Ann House Colllinsworth January 3, 1941 - November 8, 2010 Peggy Ann Collinsworth, my beloved bride and cherished soul mate for a magical 52 years, passed away unexpectedly in Bend, OR on Monday, November 8, around 6:30 p.m. at St. Charles Hospital to join her Lord and Master. Peggy was a cancer survivor and bravely endured many years of medical conditions.

She was born in Tyler, TX to L.C. and Elizabeth House. She moved with her family to Dallas, TX where she and I met, fell in love, and married. We later transferred to San Ramon, CA with our two daughters, and then moved to Bend, OR after we retired.

Peggy’s total joy was to make family and friends smile. She was so very beautiful inside and out, witty, funny, and dearly loved by her family, sisters, friends, and her little dogs, Ginger and Reggie. She delighted in helping struggling young families and their children. She loved cooking, baking, the ocean, classic cars, music, flowers, reading, babies, and so much more.

Survivors are her devoted husband, James Paul Collinsworth; two daughters, Kelly LaRue Collinsworth of San Jose, CA, and Kerry Lynn McCarty of Livermore, CA and four grandchildren, Jason Lee Collinsworth, a special needs young man who resides in a support center in Palm Springs, CA and Russell James Collinsworth of Bend, OR, a student at COCC, Peggy and I raised these two grandsons from birth. Peggy also is survived by grandson, Kyle McCarty, a marine in our country’s service, recently returned from Afghanistan, and is now at Camp Pendleton, San Diego, CA; granddaughter, Megan McCarty, a student at California State University San Diego; her two sisters, Marion Smalley Evans and husband, Gene of Richardson, TX, and Charlotte Draeger and husband, Walt of Hot Springs Village, AR; her brother-in-law, David Ray Collinsworth of Garland, TX; her uncle, John and aunt, Claude Palmer of Del Rio, TX; her cousins, Billie and Jack Cozby of Dallas, TX; and relatives, godchildren, and many friends all over the country.

In accordance with her wishes, Peggy was cremated at Autumn Funerals of Bend, OR and no service will be held in Bend. Peggy’s sisters are planning a special memorial service to celebrate and honor her life at 1 p.m., November 20, 2010, at Lakeside Baptist Church in Dallas, where many friends and family live. In lieu of flowers, etc. it was her wish that only good things happen, so please make donations to your favorite charity.

My Prayer.

Dear Lord, Peggy will be greatly missed by all and especially me. I only lived to take care of her and I’m lost without her. I thank you for the honor of having Peggy as my beloved wife before you called her into your arms for eternity. I ask to be with her again, in God’s beautiful Heaven, when it is my time to come home.

In Jesus’ name,

by James Paul Collinsworth, Jr. Amen HER JOURNEY’S JUST BEGUN Don’t think of her as gone away her journey’s just begun, life holds so many facets this earth is only one.

Think how she must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.

Just think of her as resting from the sorrows, pain and tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.

And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched ... for nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much.

Berms Continued from C1 “If we utilize the rock face and the dirt berm in the back, we can create different micro-climate zones with different plant life,” McCoy said.

“That would give the biology and forestry students a learning opportunity on campus instead of having to go off-campus.”

The college has worked with Rick Martinson, the president of WinterCreek Restoration, as well as a landscape architect from W&H Pacific, and is now ready to move forward with the project in two phases.

Using boulders and dirt from other construction under way on campus, college officials plan to put the berms and some of the plants in during the coming weeks.

The college also hopes students and employees will volunteer to help build the berms and plant the vegetation, cutting down on costs.

The berms will stand 3 to 4 feet high, with native plants and 6-foot evergreen trees planted on top of them.

That will create a growing barrier between the campus and the neighbors.

“It shouldn’t take too long (to grow higher) with the increased elevation from the berm,” McCoy said. “It could create a pretty substantial green buffer.”

That could help ease some of the issues the college has had over the past two years, as some neighbors have attended board meetings to complain about light and noise pollution.

McCoy said that was only one reason to add the berms.

“It was a consideration, but it was not a driving force behind it,” he said

of the neighbors. “When we’ve had conversations about how best to utilize the campus, that’s an added benefit of creating this learning environment.”

Joe Viola, the director of campus services, will manage the project. He said he’s been gathering input from various departments around campus, determining what they would like to see growing in the area.

“We’re kind of getting specifics now,” he said. “We’re working with the Forest Service to possibly get some trees and plant some native trees there. And we’re working with some of the local nurseries to get some local plants.”

The berms are the first phase of the project, and are slated to cost up to $9,178.

the soil and boulders.

That would bring the initial phase cost down to $5,378.

The second phase of the project, which will likely not get underway until next year, would include a community garden with 44 raised beds, compost bins, a deer fence and orchard trees. That phase could cost as much as $27,751, although the college expects to save another $5,150; McCoy said depending on the beds’ popularity, the college might open them to the broader community.

In total, the college expects the project to cost about $28,000 and McCoy said the money will come from the campus services construction and landscaping fund.

Council Continued from C1 “I just don’t see it as a significant issue,” Councilor Jodie Barram said.

Portland recently passed a similar ordinance to prevent people from sitting and lying on downtown streets. It was the third attempt after two previous tries were challenged, because they were either unconstitutional or in conflict with existing state law.

The new Portland ordinance, which hasn’t been challenged yet, relies on providing a walkway for people with disabilities. If Bend was going to pursue a similar ordinance, the city’s legal department suggested it follow Portland’s model.

“We’re going to end up spending legal fees trying to defend something that’s going to have a limited impact,” Councilor Mark Capell said.

Blazers’ Oden out for season, will have surgery on left knee

Linebacker makes mark for Cougs

PORTLAND — Trail Blazers center Greg Oden, the former No. 1 draft pick whose short career has been marred by injuries, will have microfracture surgery on his left knee and will not play this season.

Oden hasn’t played since last December because he needed surgery to repair a fractured left patella.

The Blazers say this Greg Oden operation, announced Wednesday night and scheduled for Friday in Vail, Colo., will repair damaged cartilage and is unrelated to the patella injury.

Oden, the first name announced in the 2007 NBA draft, missed his rookie season because of microfracture surgery on his right knee. The procedure stimulates cartilage growth.

Blazers trainer Jay Jensen said the latest problem with Oden’s left knee became apparent about two weeks ago when he experienced some pain and fluid in the joint. Soon thereafter, an MRI revealed the damage.

“We sat there and it was like we’d been kicked in the stomach,” Jensen said, choking up.

“It felt like hearing someone close to us had died.”

The Blazers picked Oden instead of Kevin Durant, who went to Oklahoma City and has blossomed into one of the NBA’s best players.

For much of the 2010 football season, Mountain View’s dynamic offense has snagged the majority of the headlines, and rightfully so.

The Cougars (10-0 overall), who host Corvallis on Friday in a Class 5A state quarterfinal matchup, have scored 420 points this season, the third-highest total in all of 5A. With senior tailback Austin Sears (1,946 yards, 26 touchdowns) and junior quarterback Jacob Hollister (1,638 yards passing, 23 touchdowns) powering one of the most balanced Mountain View offense in years, the Cougars are 5A’s top-ranked team according to the Oregon School Activities Association’s power rankings, and are one win away from advancing to the state semifinals for just the third time in school history.

But for all the eye-popping num-

bers Mountain View’s offense has put up this season, junior linebacker Joel Skotte has arguably been the Cougars’ most valuable player in 2010.

“He’s one of the most gifted linebackers I’ve ever seen,” says Mountain View assistant coach Mike Huff. “Sometimes you just sit back and watch him and say, ‘Wow.’ ” A starter last season as a sophomore, the 6-foot-3-inch, 221-pound Skotte has anchored the Cougars’ 4-3 defense this year at middle linebacker, leading the team with 131 total tackles in 10 games. Skotte, whose father Daniel played football at the U.S. Air Force Academy in the early 1970s, showed so much promise last season that Mountain View scrapped the 4-4 defense it had ran the last couple of years to take advantage of Skotte’s athleticism.

Rifle elk hunting season is coming to a close in Central Oregon, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said bull elk season was typically slow for most of Eastern Oregon. Deer-hunting season is already over, and hunter success was down in the Deschutes District.

Wildlife biologists reflect on the deer and elk seasons, in which hunter success was down in some respects

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

It is no secret that when they go afield each fall, most big-game hunters return home empty-handed.

In the Deschutes District each year, an average of 10 to 12 percent of deer hunters kill a buck, according to Steve George, wildlife biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in Bend.

But, he added, that number was down to 8 to 10 percent this season.

“It was a little slower than we typically see,” George noted this week. “After our second round of hunter checks, our success rate came closer to normal — much better than the first week.”

As rifle elk hunting comes to a close in Central

Oregon (some antlerless elk seasons run through Nov. 28), local wildlife biologists this week reflected on the 2010 deer and elk seasons.

George said he checked between 600 and 700 hunters in early October during buck season in the Deschutes District, which includes the Metolius, Upper Deschutes and Paulina units.

According to George, deer were in good condition, with a fairly even mix of younger and older animals.

“The biggest thing was finding bucks,” George said. “A lot of people saw does and fawns, but not a lot of bucks were being seen. Hunting conditions did have a lot to do with that. It stayed pretty noisy (dry) throughout the season.”

George said that within the Deschutes District

hunters found the most success in the Metolius Unit, though it offered the fewest tags.

The poorest hunting was in the Fort Rock Unit south of La Pine, he added.

Deer poaching continues to be a major concern among hunters, wildlife biologists and the Oregon State Police.

According to the ODFW’s recent mule deer study, the No. 1 cause of death for Oregon deer is poaching. George said most of the poaching occurs outside of the deer- and elk-hunting seasons.

During the Cascade bull elk season (Oct. 16-22) in the Deschutes District, large herds of elk combined with long-range shots by hunters became an issue, George explained.

“We had a few areas, especially out in the desert, where we get large herds of elk, and the biggest problem we have is hunters shooting into those groups,” George said. “Some (elk) get wounded and not followed up on (because the hunter cannot find the wounded animal).”

Ducks’ fans irate over perceived fake injuries

Coaches across the country spent the offseason trying to figure out a way to stop top-ranked Oregon’s bullettrain offense. No matter what they’ve tried, no one’s been able to do it.

A new tactic may be emerging: faking injuries.

Outlandish as it may seem, speculation over fake injuries has been rising over the past few weeks as seemingly healthy players fall to the ground, howling in pain, their season apparently over, only to be back on the field the next play.

Ducks fans have been screaming about this unusual human-speedbumping method almost since the season started, often booing opposing players they believe to be Meryl Streep-ing it up.

Opposing coaches deny it’s happening.

Pac-10 officials say not much can be done about it.

This is a gray area hovering out there between the lines of ethics and the rules.

“Obviously, you don’t know when a player is really injured and not injured,” Oregon coach Chip Kelly said. “I don’t know really what can be done about it.”

He’s right.

The NCAA rulebook frowns upon faking injuries, call-

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ing the practice unethical. There are no specific rules to prevent it, though. Officials can’t call delay of game or unsportsmanlike conduct if a player claims to be injured.

The only recourse is that an injured player has to sit out the next play.

Whether injury faking is actually happening is up for debate.

Oregon fans first raised the issue the second week of the season, when a few Tennessee players suffered what they saw as questionable injuries.

Kelly broached the was-he-really-injured topic Sept.

25 at Arizona State, saying it reminded him of a World Cup game with the atmosphere and the injuries, an apparent intimation that some Sun Devils players were flopping.

The most glaring instance of the fall-down, slowdown — at least to injury faking theorists — came last Saturday against Cal. A few times during the game, Cal players went down with injuries, only to return shortly after, if not the next play.

Baseball • Blue Jays acquire OF Davis from A’s for pair: Speedy outfielder Rajai Davis has been acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays from the Oakland Athletics for a pair of minor leaguers in the second trade of the general managers’ meetings. Oakland last week acquired outfielder David DeJesus from Kansas, making Davis superfluous. The A’s obtained right-handers Trystan Magnuson and Daniel Farquhar in Wednesday’s deal. The 30-year-old Davis hit .284 this year with five homers, 52 RBIs and 50 stolen bases, down from a .305 average in 2009.

Football • Idaho’s Keo suspended for half a game: Idaho defensive back Shiloh Keo has been suspended for half a game for a blow to the head of Boise State’s quarterback in last Friday’s game in Moscow. Western Athletic Conference commissioner Karl Benson issued the suspension on Wednesday. Benson originally suspended Keo for one game, but the decision was appealed by Idaho and reduced to a half-game by the WAC Sportsmanship Committee.

Boxing • Margarito out of hospital after loss to Pacquiao: Antonio Margarito has been released from Methodist Hospital, where he had surgery to repair the orbital bone of his right eye that was fractured during his loss to Manny Pacquiao. Margarito had surgery on Tuesday and was released from the hospital early Wednesday. He planned to fly home to Los Angeles with his wife Michelle, trainer Robert Garcia and managers Francisco Espinoza and Sergio Diaz.

Wild score in OT for 2-1 win over Ducks The Associated Press ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Wild acknowledged they were fortunate. The Anaheim Ducks felt they deserved two points instead of one.

While Anaheim dominated much of the second period and all the third on Wednesday night, Minnesota secured a 2-1 victory behind the strong goaltending of Niklas Backstrom and a game-winning goal that bounced off of Antti Miettinen’s shoulder at 3:36 of overtime.

As a result, a Ducks team that outshot Minnesota 16-2 in the third period secured only one point. Minnesota coach Todd Richards said that his team didn’t play well in the final period of regulation.

“We’re staying in games, but we can’t be too fooled by ourselves either,” Richards said. “We’re finding ways to win, you’ve got to give the guys credit for that. But we have to be better. We have to be more consistent in our play.”

That poor third period, however, was erased with one strong rush up the ice.

Rookie defenseman Marco Scandel-

la and Miettinen insured that the Wild won for the fifth time in their past seven games. Scandella carried the puck up the right side of the ice and shot the puck on Anaheim’s Curtis McElhinney, who made an initial save.

The rebound bounced to Miettinen, who had his first shot knocked away

by McElhinney’s blocker. The puck then bounced off of Miettinen’s shoulder and into the back of the net. The play was reviewed, but Miettinen’s first career overtime goal stood because it was ruled that he didn’t attempt to knock the puck in the net with his body.

NBA ROUNDUP

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Hornets hold on to beat Mavericks The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — David West stomped toward Dirk Nowitzki with a message about the type of defense he intended to play against the Dallas star forward.

So forceful was West in his delivery that teammates stepped in to pull him away.

“I just thought he felt like he was able to do what he wanted to do, and I’m just not going to allow that kind of leeway,” West said of Nowitzki.

West scored 17 points and backed up his tough talk in the final seconds, stealing the ball from Nowitzki to preserve New Orleans’ 99-97 victory over the Mavericks on Wednesday night.

The victory kept the Hornets (91) unbeaten at home and avenged their first loss of the season in Dallas on Monday night.

“We knew this was a big game for us in terms of just being able to respond to what happened at their place and we want to keep the momentum that we built, especially here at home,” West said.

Trailing 98-97, Dallas was in position to shoot for the win after Jason Kidd forced a turnover on Trevor Ariza’s inbound pass by tipping the ball away form Peja Stojakovic. Coming out of a timeout, the Mavs inbounded the ball to Nowitzki, who had a game-high 29 points and had been shooting well all night.

West, however, forced Nowitzki to catch the ball well beyond the top of the key, then tipped the ball away when Nowitzki tried to dribble past him.

“I was just trying to crowd him and felt like I wasn’t going to give him any space,” West said. “If he was going to make a shot, he was going to have to shoot a tough turnaround jump shot.”

Nowitzki said he thought he was too far from the basket to spin away from him, “so I decided to go with a behind-the-back move, which was obviously the wrong move to make. So, just a bad move at the wrong time.”

West made one of two free throws with 1.9 seconds left for the final margin.

SEATTLE — Cervante Burrell scored 22 points, Sterling Carter added 20 and Seattle rallied to defeat Oregon State 83-80 Wednesday night.

The Redhawks (1-3) knocked away the ball from Oregon State’s Calvin Haynes as time ran out, preventing the Beavers (1-1) from attempting to tie the game with a last-second shot.

Alex Jones added 11 points, all in the second half for Seattle.

Jared Cunningham led Oregon State with 19 points, Haynes had 18 and Omari Johnson grabbed 13 rebounds.

The Redhawks trailed, 64-54 with 9:57 to play before going on a 20-5 run to take the lead.

The Beavers worked their way back, narrowing the deficit to 82-80 on a three-point play by Haynes with 17 second left.

Carter then made 1-of-2 free throws with 10 seconds left, and Seattle’s defense did the rest.

Oregon State advanced the ball past midcourt and called timeout with 5.5 seconds left.

Haynes caught the inbounds pass, but the ball was slapped away before he could square up.

Seattle’s sloppy ball-handling allowed Oregon State to take the lead after the score was tied at 43 at halftime. The Redhawks committed three turnovers in the first two minutes of the second half, and the Beavers scored after each giveaway. Seattle finished with 25 turnovers.

Oregon State led 66-62 before Chad Rasmussen’s four-point play tied the score with 5:44 remaining. Jones then scored seven points during a 10-3 run

by Seattle and the Redhawks led the rest of the way.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Report: Booster received a payment plan for Auburn QB The Associated Press Mississippi State booster Bill Bell told ESPN.com that he received a payment plan designed to get Cam Newton to sign with the Bulldogs from a man who said he represented the quarterback’s father.

Bell, a former Mississippi State player, said Kenny Rogers sent him a text message outlining a payment schedule that included $80,000 on the day Newton signed, $50,000 30 days later and $50,000 30 days after that. Rogers, who has worked for an agent, is also a former Mississippi State player.

“When he asked for it, it was like ‘Bam!’” Bell said in the report. “He told me this kid’s dad is going to want money and the next day he sent me a text message. He didn’t say anything other than ‘This is what I want and I want it in three installments.’”

Cam Newton, a leading Heisman Trophy candidate, eventually signed with Auburn. The secondranked Tigers (11-0) have clinched a berth in the Southeastern Conference championship game.

Calls from The Associated Press to Bell, Cecil Newton and Rogers’ attorney were not immediately returned.

Bell said in the report that the phone that contains Rogers’ text message was damaged by water, but he’s attempting to retrieve the text through his cell phone provider.

Bell, who lives in Florida, said he was on three-way calls with Rogers and Cam’s father, Cecil, when discussions about the payment plan took place. He said Cecil Newton never directly asked for money and he has shared some voice messages with the NCAA.

Injuries Continued from D1 The most notable of these injuries came early in the game, when Bears defensive lineman Aaron Tipoti got up from making a tackle, went up to the line, looked to the sideline, then fell to the ground holding his leg, just before Oregon could snap the ball.

Tipoti’s seemingly orchestrated collapse made the rounds on YouTube — with look-whathe-did graphics — further fueling the fake-injury speculation, though Cal coach Jeff Tedford said that wasn’t the case.

“People get hurt during games and in fast-tempo stuff, there’s cramps,” he said. “That’s not the deal. I know that anytime anybody goes down against Oregon, they always think that’s the case.

But it’s not the case.”

Whether it was a rhythmbreaking ploy or not, Cal was one of the few teams able to slow the speeding Ducks.

Oregon entered the game with the nation’s best offense, averaging 54.7 points and 567 yards per game. Using a variety of defensive fronts and man-to-man coverage in the secondary, the Bears held the Ducks to a season-low 317 yards and a single touchdown.

Oregon managed to pull out a 15-13 win to keep its nationaltitle hopes alive, but fans in Eugene were outraged by Cal’s perceived cry wolf tactics.

Kelly tried to stay out of the debate, saying he’s usually busy calling a play and often doesn’t know what the fans are booing about. Still, he couldn’t help taking a swipe.

“I know what our fans’ reaction is when someone’s carted off the field that looks like he’s going to surgery and is back immediately the next play,” Kelly said. “I think we’ve got pretty intelligent fans here at the University of Oregon, but there’s nothing that can really be done about it. Our fans are allowed to do whatever they want to do.”

In a way, it may actually work in Oregon’s favor.

If teams are faking injuries it’s essentially an admission that they can’t beat the Ducks straight up and have to resort to schemes to have a chance, kind of like a kid tripping the race leader because he can’t keep up.

“If teams are doing that — and I don’t know that they are — you have basically thrown up the white flag and said you can’t play at our pace,” Kelly said. “I don’t know if you really want to say that you can’t play the style of football that we’re playing.”

They might be better off trying a fake field goal or a fake punt.

Also, Sisters junior Conner Morgan was named the Sky-Em’s first-team punter.

Cougs Continued from D1 “He’s essentially doing the job that two players used to do,” Huff says about Skotte, now one of three linebackers in the Cougars’ base defense instead of four. “It allows us to do so many other things.”

Despite just turning 16 years old this August — he will only be 17 when he graduates in spring 2012 — Skotte has been a man among boys this season, especially as of late. In Mountain View’s last three games — victories against crosstown rival Bend High, state play-in opponent Woodburn and in the first round of the state playoffs against Franklin — Skotte recorded 45 tackles and one sack.

“He’s probably the best linebacker I’ve ever seen in high school,” says Cougar defensive coordinator Neil Elshire, who spent six seasons in the NFL after receiving all-Pacific 10 honors as a defensive end at the University of Oregon. “Can he play Division-I ball? Absolutely.”

“If Joel continues to improve on the field and in the classroom he won’t have to worry about paying for college,” Elshire adds. “He’ll be choosing schools.”

An all-Intermountain Conference selection in 2009, Skotte was selected as the Intermountain Hybrid’s defensive player of the year last week.

Cougar Joel Skotte celebrates a sack on Bend High quarterback J.C. Grim.

Skotte, Sears receive league awards Mountain View dominated the Intermountain Hybrid 2010 football postseason awards. Cougar junior linebacker Joel Skotte was named the league’s defensive player of the year and Mountain View senior tailback Austin Sears received the Intermountain Hybrid’s offensive player of the year award. Cougar coach Steve Turner was named the league’s coach of the year.

For a complete list of the Intermountain Hybrid all-league teams, see Prep Scoreboard, below.

“It’s all about reading (the play) and going,” says Skotte, who has emerged as one of the best defensive players in the state this season. “From the first game of the year I’ve been picking up my reads better.”

Weighing as much as many high school offensive linemen and as fast as most tailbacks, Skotte’s biggest improvement this season has come from hitting holes as soon as they develop.

“He goes full speed all the

time,” Elshire says. “There’s no hesitation.”

While he has also rushed for 295 yards and five touchdowns this season relieving Sears in the backfield, Skotte views offense almost as a hobby.

“Sometimes I like it when we punt,” he jokes. “That way we get to play defense again.”

With Skotte leading the way, Mountain View has allowed just 139 points this season (13.9 points per game), the fourthlowest total of any 5A team.

The Cougars’ defense has been impressive in past years, too — Mountain View allowed just 14 points per game in 2009 and 2008 — but struggled to stop the run in each of its last three playoff losses. West Albany in 2007, Jefferson in 2008 and West Albany again last year all knocked the Cougars out of the postseason by racking up more than 300 yards rushing in victories over Mountain View.

With Skotte roaming the middle of the field this year, though — and freeing up blitzes and stunts from other positions — the Cougars are just two wins away from their first-ever state final appearance.

“In a 4-3 defense,” Huff says, “he’s exactly what you want in a (middle linebacker).”

Black picked as AL, NL managers of the year

By Ben Walker The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Bud Black hung on to win this race. Ron Gardenhire became a first-time Manager of the Year, too, after so many near misses.

A month after his San Diego Padres were knocked out of the playoff chase on the final day, Black nudged Ci nc i n nat i’s Dusty Baker by one point for the NL award Wednesday.

“I guess this vote was sort of like our season, it came Bud Black down to the wire,” Black said on a conference call.

Gardenhire was the clear choice in the American League, earning the honor Ron after five times Gardenhire as the runner-up. He led Minnesota to its sixth AL Central title in nine seasons.

“Congrats to the best manager in bestball!” Twins center fielder Denard Span tweeted. “Way overdue!” Span tweeted an apology moments later for misspelling baseball.

Said Gardenhire: “It’s pretty neat to have your name mentioned up there.”

Black was selected after guiding San Diego to a 15-game turnaround despite the second-lowest payroll in the majors. The Padres finished 90-72 and led the NL West until a late, 10-game slump and then a loss to San Francisco on the last day eliminated them.

Black drew 16 first-place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America and got 104 points. Baker had 13 firstplace votes and 103 points.

Bruce Bochy of the World Series champion San Francisco Giants, Atlanta’s retiring Bobby Cox and Philadelphia’s Charlie Manuel got the other first-place votes.

“This was a great year in the NL,” said Black, who was on a golf course near San Diego when he got the word. “I guess this vote could’ve gone either way. I feel fortunate that I won. All these guys are so deserving.”

Baker, a three-time Manager of the Year, led the NL Central champion Reds to their first playoff spot since 1995. He was listed on 27 of the 32 ballots while Black was picked on 26.

“I’m not terribly disappointed because I didn’t expect it,” Baker told The Associated Press. “Buddy did a great job.”

Baker was in the mountains of California when he heard the vote totals. The announcement came on the one-year anniversary of his father’s death.

“When I woke up today, I was thinking about my dad, not the award,” Baker said. “He’d be proud of me.”

This marked the third time that the NL Manager of the Year was decided by a single point.

There was a tie for the AL honor in 1996 between Joe Torre and Johnny Oates.

Two BBWAA voters from every league city send in three top choices when the regular season ends. Votes were counted on a 53-1 basis.

Gardenhire drew 16 first-place votes and 108 points, and was the only AL manager listed on all 28 ballots.

Ron Washington, who started the year with a cocaine admission and ended it with Texas’ first trip to the World Series, was next in the AL with 10 first-place votes and 81 points. Tampa Bay’s Joe Maddon and Toronto’s retiring Cito Gaston drew the other first-place votes.

“It’s pretty cool,” Gardenhire said on a conference call from Florida.

The last time a manager won the award without making the playoffs was 2006, when Joe Girardi got it with Florida.

The pitching-rich Padres were a surprise all season, and led the division by 6½ games on Aug. 25.

But San Diego’s inability to hit proved to be its downfall.

FISHING

To Kodiak for the invasive and evasive Sitka blacktail GAR Y LEWIS

I

t is all real when we pull ourselves up into the De Haviland Beaver. Back on Kodiak, back for Sitka blacktail. We taxi, we get lift on the big runway then we are over the water, banking, climbing. The sterile, female computerized voice of the GPS warns, “Caution. Terrain.”

The last part of Kodiak City we see is the nine-hole golf course, where they have sand traps and water hazards, as well as brown bear hazards. Across snow-capped mountains, deep valleys and steel-blue fjords was our destination — Larsen Bay. We had arranged transport with Ninilchik Charters aboard the 53-foot Sundy. To explore Uyak Bay and Spiridon and their environs, we would use an inflatable skiff motivated by a small outboard.

We gathered at the stern for the safety brief delivered

by Captain Al Henderson and deckhand, Brandon Hart. Our team consisted of Steve Hendryx, lately moved from Central Oregon to Central Florida, Greg Collison, of Sandy, Daryl Sutton, of Soldotna, Alaska, and Jason Elam, 40 years old and one

year out of the NFL. This was his first fall without football in 27 years.

Sitka blacktail deer were released on Kodiak Island in 1924.

In 1930, two deer from Prince of Wales Island were set free. Their offspring have spread across the 6,560 square miles of the Kodiak archipelago.

With so many deer and so few hunters, hunters are allowed three a year.

The grass is shoulder high and the willows bristle, thick as the hair on the back of a brown bear.

We start at sea level, grab hold of a handful of grass or willows and pull ourselves up.

Always, there is the threat of bears — bears that grow to 10feet tall and beyond. The Kodiak bear is conditioned to the sound of gun shots and the partying of the crows that means an easy meal. On the second evening, we saw a bear. Out for a stroll on the waterline, he swung his head from side to side, master of all he surveyed.

Fourth day. Brandon dropped me on the beach and I started up and out of the rocks alone.

Away from the beach, I crossed a narrow trail with sharp prints in it, then a wider trail. Farther on, I pushed the willows apart and found a bed on the side of a knob. Still warm to the touch.

Deer, not bear.

Ears flickered in the grass and a head swiveled. Antlers. The

Game Continued from D1 Aside from that, elk season in the Deschutes District — which contains a relatively small number of elk — was typical, according to George.

“It was slow like most of Eastern Oregon was,” George said. “We didn’t get a lot of snow out there (to help hunters track the elk).

There was a little bit on the ground, but it didn’t stay very long. There’s not a lot of elk out there to begin with.”

In the Ochoco District — which includes the Ochoco, Maury and Grizzly units — bull elk hunters during the second period (Nov. 6-14) might have been helped by snow and a lack of success for hunters during the first period (Oct. 27-31).

buck crossed through a low spot.

For a moment all I could see was the line of his back. Ahead of him was a high spot. He stopped there.

At the shot, he spun and turned downhill. A doe ran on and vanished into the willows. Below me, a spike stood up out of his bed to watch as I climbed the hill to my prize.

At first glance, the Sitka blacktail is smaller than our deer in the lower 48. In most cases, however, it isn’t the deer that is smaller, it is the grass that is taller — so tall the deer has to stand up for the hunter to see its ears.

This buck’s ears were 15 inches from tip to tip; its front hooves measured almost three inches long, the same as the buck I had taken two weeks earlier in Wyoming. But Sitka antlers are small, primitive by comparison.

This one had a fork on one side and, on the other, a beam that grew down toward its chin. In another year, that left-side antler might have killed the buck by infection.

In the morning, we hunted again. We had climbed 366 feet above sea level, each foot earned the hard way through the salmonberry, elderberry, willows and alder. It was midday when Hendryx and I spotted his buck in a canyon. By late afternoon, his buck hung in the boat.

Elam and I headed out to hunt the rocky shoreline for ducks,

According to the ODFW’s hunting report, first-period hunters did not appear to experience their typical success, leaving more bulls out there for the second-period hunters.

Conditions were cold and wet, and hunters in the Ochoco Mountains saw snow accumulations of as much as five inches to help them track the elk. Opening weekend went well for those second-period hunters, as the ODFW reported above-average success. The majority of bulls checked were mature five-point animals or larger.

As for deer-hunting season in the Ochoco District (Oct. 2-13), hunters experienced average to above-average success despite mostly warm and dry conditions, according to the ODFW. Most bucks taken were yearlings in excellent shape.

Deer-hunter success for opening weekend in the Ochocos was 8 percent, an improve-

but we kept watch for deer. Elam had two more tags.

On the boat, jigging for halibut, Hendryx had his eye on the beach. We got the signal from the boat.

I called the play. If the defense was on the left, we’d go ashore to the right of the river inlet. A doe broke right and up into the brush.

Onto the spit we climbed.

Elam, who wears two Super Bowl rings and shares the NFL record for the longest field goal ever — 63 yards — saw the uprights, 14 inches wide with three points on one side and four on the other. Eighty-five yards, on the edge of the trees.

Elam put the Nosler 200-grain AccuBond down the field, a little right of center and scored the buck of a lifetime, a Sitka blacktail with double throat patches, as big in the body as any mule deer, wearing a coat of summer fat.

We celebrated with crab for dinner — tanners and Dungeness in melted butter — and crab for dessert.

Sleep came quick, the waters of Uyak Bay slapping against the hull.

ment over the 5 percent reported last year, according to the ODFW. “Deer numbers are still lower than what we would like to have, and that’s not unique to Central Oregon,” said Brian Ferry, a wildlife biologist for the ODFW in Prineville. “There are pretty decent fawn ratios. That allows for a stable to growing deer population.”

Hunters taking part in late antlerless elk hunts in the Ochoco District, which begin this Saturday and run through Nov. 28, could be aided by snow that is forecast to fall over the next several days.

Good numbers of elk are present, according to the ODFW, but the animals are scattered and skittish as a result of the previous buck and bull seasons.

FLY-TYING CORNER

Steelhead Brassie Purple, courtesy The Patient Angler.

With a glass bead, a soft hackle and a body built of copper wire, the Steelhead Brassie Purple is a small, sparse pattern perfect for the low waters of early fall. Its weight, its buggy-ness, its size and sparkle make it a good choice as a subtle swinging fly or the dropper in a tandem nymph rig.

To put the Steelhead Brassie to work, slide an indicator up the line and tie on a heavier point fly, like a

Steelhead Rock Worm. Run the Steelhead Brassie from a 15-inch dropper tied to the bend of the hook. Set the indicator about two times the depth of the water in fast current.

Tie this pattern on a No. 8 short-shanked straight eye or a scud hook. Slide an iridescent glass bead up against the eye. Build the body with purple Ultra Wire. Start the thorax with purple Ice Dub. Wrap a soft hackle partridge collar and finish the thorax behind the bead.

FISHING REPORT

Trout fishing going well on Metolius Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

CENTRAL ZONE ANTELOPE FLAT RESERVOIR: Angler reports indicate a high growth rate and excellent catch rates. The reservoir has been stocked twice with catchable rainbow trout and was stocked again in October.

CRESCENT LAKE: The water level is dropping a bit and some anglers are picking up 8 to 10 pound browns.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Anglers are reminded that angling methods are restricted to artificial flies and lures as of Oct. 31.

The fishing is excellent and flows should remain consistent around 75 cfs throughout the winter resulting in consistent fishing.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the Northern Boundary of the Warm Springs Reservation): Summer steelhead are spread out in good numbers from the Columbia upstream to Warm Springs, but the majority of fish are between Maupin and Warm Springs. Fishing from the mouth upstream to White River may be hampered by poor water visibility.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Lake Billy Chinook to Bend): Flows have increased significantly and anglers are reminded to exercise caution when wading.

No recent reports but there should be good fishing for rainbow and brown trout. Anglers will find bet-

ter access downstream of Lower Bridge.

FALL RIVER: Anglers are encouraged to note the special regulations in the 2010 Sport Fishing Regulations; the angling season downstream from the Fall River falls ended on Sept. 30.

KINGSLEY RESERVOIR: Kingsley was stocked with lots of trout and should continue to offer good fishing. Anglers have the opportunity to catch all size classes of trout including large trophy trout and steelhead.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Anglers are encouraged to note the special regulations for the Metolius Arm of Billy Chinook Reservoir; angling is closed in the Metolius arm from Oct. 31-Mar. 1.

METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Insect hatches should offer lots of opportunities for good dry-fly fishing. The river upstream of Allingham Bridge closed to fishing on Nov. 1.

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Anglers continue to report good fishing and have reported catching larger trout than in recent years. Anglers should consult the 2010 Sport Fishing Regulations (page 63) for maximum length requirements and bag limits for both largemouth and smallmouth bass.

PRINEVILLE YOUTH FISHING POND: Young anglers are catching rainbow trout and an occasional largemouth bass.

SHEVLIN YOUTH FISHING POND: The pond is open to children 17 years old and younger with a bag limit of two fish.

Trails about to take on their winter persona

Weather the shoulder season by exploring Sutton Mountain, north of Mitchell

By Alandra Johnson The Bulletin

Snow was slated for high elevations last night and today, leaving recreation conditions uncertain.

“This weekend is really up in the air,” said Chris Sabo, trails specialist for the Deschutes National Forest.

Dutchman Flat Sno-park is expected to have moderate snow depth for skiers and snowshoers.

Sabo says trail users should be cautious of low-snow hazards, like logs on trails.

Motorized use will be more questionable, as Sabo says it typically requires several feet of solid snow for safe operations.

Sabo also cautioned that temporary signs marking boundaries and trails are not yet in place due to low-snow levels. He asks that trail users be respectful of boundaries they recall from the past, even if signs are not in place.

Swampy Lakes Sno-park may or may not have enough snow to allow for recreational activities..

“I can’t really tell you it is looking like a good winter weekend,” said Sabo.

For up-to-date snow conditions, Sabo recommends people visit Mt. Bachelor’s website, www .mtbachelor.com.

People using sno-parks will be required to obtain a sno-park permit, which cost $25 for an annual pass or $4 per day. For more information, visit the Oregon DMV website (www .oregon.gov/ODOT/DMV).

Satisfying Sutton Sutton Mountain

By Markian Hawryluk The Bulletin

I

hate this time of year. It’s no longer fall, but not quite winter. Snow blocks access to most of the trails and climbs I really want to do, but there’s not quite enough of it to ski or snowshoe. And there seems to be a 30 percent chance of precipitation just about every day.

It’s an awkward pause in the changing of the seasons that usually just gets me depressed.

Eager to get out anyway, I flipped through my guidebooks looking for a suitable hike. It had to be something with a little bit of an elevation gain, that’s what moves the needle for me.

Yet I needed to find something lower than 5,000 feet, to minimize the chance of hitting snow.

I turned page after page, finally coming to Sutton Mountain. Just north of Mitchell, it’s a shade under 4,700 feet tall. The John Day River winds around the base of the large flat mountain. It seemed just the ticket.

The drive to Sutton is one of the prettiest highways in the region, cutting through the Ochoco National Forest east of Prineville. At Mitchell, I turned north onto state Road 207, keeping an eye on the highway markers. The trailhead is about eight miles in, right at milepost 15. That is, right where milepost 15 used to be. I had to backtrack from milepost 14 with a keen eye on the odometer to find the large turnout on the east side of the road. You can also turn onto a dirt road on the opposite side and park at a corral. But there were a couple of RVs and a large tent set up there, so I stayed on the turnout.

From the corral area, follow the dirt road to a sign prohibiting motorized vehicles and a large metal gate that marks the start of the hike. Just past the gate, turn left leaving the road and head directly up the slope. It’s a short 100 foot climb to the top of a broad flat ridge.

See Outing / E6

Getting there: From Prineville, drive east 47 miles to Mitchell, then turn left (north) on state Road 207. Note mile marker 16, and proceed one mile to a turnout on the right side of the road.

(Milepost 15 may be missing.) The trailhead is on the opposite side of the road.

Naming former spouses sets record straight in obituaries Dear Abby: “Surviving Son in California” (Sept. 20) sought your advice regarding proper protocol in mentioning all surviving relatives when parents had been divorced. You said, “After a couple divorces and one of them dies, the name of the former spouse is usually not mentioned in the obituary.” I think your response needs a little tweaking.

My siblings and I faced this same scenario after my father passed away. My parents divorced when I was in grade school, and each parent had remarried by my freshman year in high school. Although their divorce was painful, they remained on friendly terms throughout their lives. I was adamant that my biological mother be listed in my father’s obituary for two reasons: First, the obituary serves as a historical document. Second, I did not want people reading the obituary to think my siblings and I were children from my father’s second marriage.

An obituary should serve as a historical account of our loved one’s life — not a battlefield.

— Leslie In Port Angeles, Wash.

Dear Leslie: Thank you for pointing out your valid reasons for including former spouses in an obituary. Allow me to share a few more. Read on: Dear Abby: I’ve worked in newspapers on the East Coast for the past 11 years, and I can tell you that mentioning a divorced spouse’s name is totally a matter of individual and family preference. It is becoming more common to see “So- and-so” was the former wife and good friend of “the deceased,” which is a nice development. It is the right of the surviving family to decide the contents of the obituary. Because some people even include pets among survivors, you would think an ex-spouse would receive the same consideration.

— Name Withheld In Connecticut

BendSpineandPain.com

DEAR ABBY Dear Abby: Genealogy researchers often use obituaries to find the parents or children of families. Here in Iowa, it is common for the obituary to show that a couple married, had children and were divorced. I understand how some children might decide to omit a parent if the divorce wasn’t a friendly one. I was left out of my first husband’s obituary, but I got over it.

— Two Sides To A Story Dear Abby: There is a difference between an obituary and a death notice. A death notice is a paid announcement, usually in small type and generally placed by the funeral director. It can include, or exclude, anything the family wishes.

An obituary is an objective news story written by a bylined reporter, and it contains the good, the bad and the ugly — including the names of former spouses, whether separated by death or divorce.

— Former Copy Editor In Philadelphia Dear Abby: You can’t erase the years spent together as a family even though a divorce has occurred. I had been married for 30 years at the time of my divorce, and it is important for me to be listed when my ex passes away — and vice versa.

My ex and I discussed this and agreed that the obituary would be written this way: “Also survived by the mother/father of his/her children ... “ In my mind, divorced or not, you will always be family.

Woman’s touch improves aim of ‘Human Target’

By Rick Bentley McClatchy-Tribune News Service

LOS ANGELES — Fox’s action series “Human Target” is getting a feminine touch.

Indira Varma and Janet Montgomery have joined the second season cast.

Varma plays billionaire philanthropist Ilsa Pucci, who brings needed funds to the unorthodox security business operated by the three amigos of Chance (Mark Valley), Winston (Chi McBride) and Guerrero (Jackie Earle Haley). Montgomery plays a talented thief who joins the group.

“It’s going to be nice having other players, other relationships,” said Valley just before leaving for Vancouver to shoot the second season. “We get to see how Chance reacts to women on a continual basis. How the whole team reacts to someone in more of a position of authority. And how the guys act to women in authority.”

Valley says the addition of female characters isn’t a network ploy to broaden the show’s viewership but a means to a healthy conflict between the guys who are accustomed to handling cases in their own unique way and the women who will bring a different perspective.

Eventually both sides will realize this is a good fit.

“The most exciting part is that it’s going to change up our dynamic a little bit. For me, the first season was great, like a brotherhood with Winston, Guerrero and Chance.

This second season we’re going to flesh things out and have a broader spectrum of relationships,” Valley said.

Fox needs the changes to spark high ratings because it’s been a tough TV season for the network. The highly anticipated drama “Lone Star” died after a few weeks,

Ilsa Pucci (Indira Varma, from left) joins the team with Chance (Mark Valley) Guerrero (Jackie Earle Haley) and Winston (Chi McBride) in “Human Target.” It’s second season airs at 8 p.m. Wednesdays on Fox. plus the returning cop comedy “The Good Guys” and the new comedy “Running Wilde” have miserable ratings.

The second season of “Human Target” was scheduled to begin Oct. 1. The change was necessary because “Lone Star” died so quickly that “Lie To Me,” which was set for the Wednesday slot, was moved to Mondays to take over the open time period.

No matter the night, Valley just loves working on the series he calls a labor of love because the action scenes are invigorating.

The 45-year-old actor does as many of the stunts as he can. He determines which ones he’ll do by watching a stuntman do the scene first.

“It’s like having food tasters.

I want to see if they survive and

then see how they do it,” Valley said.

That system has worked so far.

He ended the first season with only a shin splint.

Authorities: Wis. man shoots television over Palin’s ‘Dance’ moves

By Todd Richmond The Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — A rural Wisconsin man blasted his television set with a shotgun after watching Bristol Palin’s “Dancing with the Stars” routine Monday night, saying he was fed up with politics and Palin wasn’t a very good dancer, according to court documents.

Steven Cowan, 67, of the town of Vermont, about 15 miles west of Madison, then pointed the gun at his wife, 66-year-old Janice Cowan, who escaped and called police, authorities said. A SWAT team surrounded the couple’s farmhouse, and officers were able to talk Cowan out Tuesday morning after an all-night standoff.

Cowan had been drinking before he sat down to watch “Dancing with the Stars” and suffers from bipolar disorder, his wife told officers. He was charged Tuesday with second-degree reckless endangerment, and could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Bail was set at $1,500 for Cowan at his initial court appearance Wednesday in Madison. State Public Defender Jonas Bednarek, who represented Cowan, declined to comment. Cowan’s preliminary hearing was set for Dec. 6.

Dane County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Elise Schaffer said Cowan works as a landlord, but that she didn’t know where he owned property.

He has a clean criminal record, she said.

“It’s kind of sad, actually,” Schaffer said.

Janice Cowan told police her husband came home around 6:30 p.m. Monday after drinking at a bar, but that she didn’t know if he was drunk, a sheriff’s detective wrote in a criminal complaint.

She said her husband drank a bottle of beer during dinner and they settled down to watch “Dancing with the Stars.”

When Palin, the daughter of former vice presidential candidate-turned-GOP celebrity Sarah Palin, began her routine, Cowan jumped up and began swearing, saying something like “The (expletive) politics.”

His wife said he was upset that

a political figure’s daughter was dancing on TV even though he felt she didn’t have talent.

She told officers her husband left the living room and reappeared 20 minutes later with his shotgun, “raging” with his face bright red, and blasted the TV. “He scared the bejebees out of me,” Janice Cowan told police.

She said her husband pointed the gun at her and told her to go get his pistols. She said he threatened to kill himself if she returned with anyone else.

She left the home and called police from a nearby lawyer’s office, according to the complaint.

The criminal complaint said Steven Cowan’s daughter recently took away his handguns for safekeeping. It did not elaborate.

Cowan was ordered Wednesday by Dane County Circuit Court Commissioner Todd Meurer not to have any firearms in his residence, consume alcohol or contact his wife in person should he post bail.

Janice Cowan told officers that about 15 years ago her husband had threatened her with a machete when he couldn’t find some ammunition and has threatened to shoot one of their cows.

She added he was under stress because of financial reasons, saying a doctor helping him with his mental health problems had suggested he temporarily turn over control of his rental properties to the family’s attorney. Calls Wednesday morning to a number listed as the Cowans’ could not be connected.

The Internet has been abuzz in recent days about how Bristol Palin, who has consistently landed at the bottom of the judges’ leaderboard, has been able to remain on the ABC show.

Some have suggested that voters — particularly supporters of her mother — have been voting in blocs and manipulating the system.

Both Palins have denied any organized vote-getting tactics.

Bristol Palin, 20, says voters support her despite lackluster performances because she started the show with no dancing experience.

Trails Continued from E1 Sabo says people operating motorized snow vehicles should also be aware that Forest Service roads do not officially close to regular traffic until Dec. 1.

He has received reports of several downed trees blocking roads and trails, which could make for difficult or hazardous travel.

As for summer trails, people should look for downed trees and possible snow, although it is likely to be a dusting. Trails

will be mostly snow-free, but the weather should be crisp. Sabo says people should be prepared for winter conditions at any elevation level.

In other recreation news, the Deschutes National Forest is inviting community members to discuss trail use by off-leash dogs and their owners. The meeting will take place tonight from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Bend Park & Recreation District office, located at 799 S.W. Columbia St. Alandra Johnson can be reached at 541-617-7860 or at ajohnson@bendbulletin.com.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Nov. 18, 2010: This year, you open up to many new ideas and opportunities.

Often, as you look around and see no answer, magically, solutions appear. Tap into your creativity.

No matter what your interests are, you will gain. If you are single, romance certainly becomes a strong possibility. Just be sure that you don’t connect with someone who is emotionally unavailable. It might take a while to determine that. If you are attached, the two of you love getting away together.

The more often you can do these “escape” weekends, the more your closeness evolves.

ARIES zeros in on the basics.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH You sense a change in pace. Optimism seems more prevalent. Though you might need to cover a lot of ground, you seem to breeze from one meeting to the next, one decision to another.

What had been immovable now can be pushed across the finish line. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might have been wondering which is the best decision, especially in a situation revolving around work. The smart Bull has put decisionmaking on the back burner. By evening, you might sense that the time has come. Tonight: Share with a trusted adviser.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might be right on time with a decision or advancing a project that could impact your standing in your immediate community. Only test your idea on trusted friends. You’ll get unusual and dynamic feedback.

Tonight: Where the action is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Expand and open up to new ideas. You might feel that you have pushed a situation past its limits.

Listen to news that is forthcoming.

You finally can grasp what has happened in a personal matter.

Tonight: Count on a late night.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a personal decision. Don’t push too hard to accomplish your to-do list. An opportunity heads your way. Be willing to push aside your normal plans. A partner suddenly becomes more freeing. Tonight: Reach out for new insight.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Your creativity allows greater give-and-take. Still, be cautious with your finances for a little longer. You might not have absorbed everything that is happening financially. You could feel unusually inspired by an associate, friend or loved one.

Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You like what is going on between you and others. A feeling of uptightness fades away, allowing great give-and-take. Note a change between you and a friend.

Together you inspire each other.

Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH A nice, easy pace marks your decisions. You will find that many people around you feel strongly about a project. You didn’t know you had so many supporters for a venture, did you? Tonight: Know when to switch gears.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your imagination will open up many doors if you just let it go. Of course, a certain amount of discipline might be necessary to realize a key goal or two. A meeting could be more instrumental than you realize. Tonight: Acting like it is the weekend already.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You cannot eliminate certain fundamental basics, but you can lighten up. You are more likely to relax with a boss and others in your daily environment. You wonder how all this is possible.

Just know that it is. Tonight: Catch up on a neighbor’s news.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might be wondering what to do to make a situation work. Note that suddenly you feel far more optimistic and upbeat. That attitude also creates more possibilities. News from a distance starts flowing.

Tonight: Be spontaneous.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You note a dramatic difference in how you feel and what goes on. You are more upbeat than you have been in a long time. Listen up about possibilities that surround a partnership, business or personal matter. Financial matters will clear up. Tonight: A close encounter. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Outing Continued from E1 You can also continue on the dirt road, which winds around the base of the ridge. But then again, there’s little appeal to hiking a dirt road.

There’s no clear trail on the top of the ridge. At times, you find signs of previous traffic — horse or hiker, hunter or prey — but the sporadic trails quickly fade into the overgrowth. Just keep heading southwest up the ridge.

As I continued up the gentle slope, I began to wonder why I came. So far, there were no picturesque views, no babbling brooks or old growth forests. The terrain was reminiscent of an abandoned fielded, with muddy knobs that made walking awkward. It was neither challenging nor interesting. Is this really how I was going to spend my leisure time? I felt hoodwinked, bamboozled, hornswoggled.

There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this hike.

And then I saw it. A rocky crown on the top of Sutton Mountain that held the promise of something much more fun and enjoyable. The bands of short cliffs at the top looked to offer the type of scrambling I really enjoy.

With a renewed bounce in my step, I completed the two miles to the saddle just south of the cliffs, and turned up the slopes of Sutton itself. The basalt columns are some 16 million years old and are so uniform they can look man-made in places.

The rock bands start about 100 feet below the summit itself, and most are easily skirted until you

reach the summit rim. At the final set of cliffs below the top, you can traverse to the left to a large tree that marks a cleft in the rock. I pulled myself up through the crack and onto a ledge just below the rim.

It’s the most difficult part of the route, but still relatively easy if you hold on to the branches of the tree on one side and the rocks on the other. You’ll have to pull yourself up about six feet to get up and over the rocks.

Traversing back to the right along the base of this final cliff, I followed the rock wall until it finally came down to the level of the ledge. I stepped onto the rim and completed a full Z maneuver by heading left again to a rock cairn marking the summit. I practically skipped up the final few feet to the top.

I suppose it’s one of those lessons that your father teaches you when you’re a kid: Keep your nose to the grindstone, and hard work will pay off in the end. Sutton certainly had a nice payoff to counter the drudgery of the approach.

The views from the top stretch in all directions, including a birds-eye view of the Painted Hills section of the John Day Fossil Beds. The northwestern side of Sutton has a gentler grade, which probably makes for an easier hike up, but maybe not as much fun.

Rather than returning the way I came, I worked my way back down the slope of Sutton’s long summit rim to the north, and eventually turned down the eastern side to get back to a dirt road that leads to the trailhead. It’s about 2.4 miles and 1,600 feet of

elevation gain either way.

According on the Oregon Natural Desert Association, Sutton Mountain was designated a Wilderness Study Area after a land exchange helped to consolidate public lands in the area.

In 1996, the Bureau of Land Management recommended the Sutton’s 29,536 acres for future wilderness designation. As a result, most of Sutton hasn’t been grazed in more than a decade.

That’s left the mountain covered in native bunchgrass, and in the springtime wildflowers abound.

There’s also plenty of pronghorn, deer and elk on its slopes.

The route back down was no more enjoyable than the hike up. Yet somehow, it didn’t seem nearly as depressing. Sutton had earned its crown.

Shana Coker gets a Brazilian Blowout last week from Debra Cyr at Curl Up & Dye Innovative Salon in Bend. The treatment may be effectively banned after the agency that licenses salon workers said they need to adopt strict safety standards to work with the solution.

But is there too much exposure to the chemical?

Oregon says yes — and takes action.

Hair troubles the Oregon Health Licensing Agency decided this week to prohibit its use in salons that do not adopt strict safety regulations. products often used during the treatment contained up to 12 percent formaldehyde.

Then, this week, the licensing agency decided to adopt OSHA’s strict standards for working with formaldehyde. That means that salons that use the most common Brazilian Blowout solution will need to have safety equipment such as shower stalls, ventilation, safety goggles and a water station for washing out eyes available in the salon.

Most, said Randall Everitt, director of the agency, likely will just stop doing the treatment. “I’ve never been in a salon that had all those things” that they will need, he said. “It’s going to cost (them) thousands of dollars to come into compliance. Probably more.”

What was allowed Prior to OSHA’s testing, an increasing number of salons had been using a hair treatment called Brazilian Blowout that, according to a state report, contained up to 12 percent formaldehyde.

What has changed As of this week, salons in Oregon that use Brazilian Blowout will need to adopt strict safety standards such as a shower stall and eye-washing station.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Amanda Rooker doesn’t pay for health insurance. Instead, she pays a monthly share to cover other people’s health bills.

It’s part of a medical bill-sharing program called Medi-Share, which claims an exemption from federal health reform’s individual mandate. Under the exemption, members of health care-sharing ministries — organizations where members share financial resources to pay one another’s medical costs —

are not required to carry insurance by 2014 or face penalties, according to Medi-Share.

Medi-Share is one of three similar, large Christian-based bill-sharing programs available in the U.S. Medi-Share covers about 13,000 households.

Combined, the three groups have about 100,000 individual participants, said Robert Baldwin, president of Florida-based Christian Care Ministry, which oversees Medi-Share.

“It’s a highly organized way of passing the hat,” he said.

The hair treatment, known as a Brazilian Blowout after a product commonly used during the process, has been widely popular in the past few years and has been featured in a number of women’s magazines.

A Brazilian Blowout straightens and smooths hair and, with results that last up to six months, many consumers have been willing to fork over several hundred dollars for each session.

The problem, according to the state, is many of the products used during the treatment contain levels of formaldehyde that could be dangerous for both consumers and salon workers.

BALTIMORE — Her Asics laced up and her water bottle at her side, Meredith Dobrosielski stepped onto the treadmill for a robust half-hour walk.

For the Towson, Md., runner, this wasn’t just any trip to the gym. The session took place in a lab at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore.

And each step offered information on the impact of exercise on her fetus. Dobrosielski is about 8 months pregnant.

Doctors expect the information collected to fill in some

gaps in the data on how much pounding is OK for a developing baby. Eventually, they hope to be able to develop personalized workout schedules for women in different states of fitness.

“We do know that not only can exercise be done, it should be done,” said Dr. Andrew Satin, professor and vice chairman of the department of gynecology and obstetrics for the Hopkins School of Medicine. “But the level of fitness should impact the individual’s prescription.”

N THE HOLIDAY WEIGHT-GAIN PROBLEM

GOOD FOR YOU

It happens every year, but there are solutions to weeks of feasting

Don’t beat a hasty retreat from nutrient-rich beets Beets have been called a superfood because they contain a heavy dose of folic acid and antioxidants. In fact, in one study of common vegetables, beets had among the highest concentration of antioxidants, nutrients that may have a variety of benefits from slowing aging to staving off cancer. Beets are also a good source of fiber, potassium and vitamin C. Watch out: Beets do have a high sugar content for a vegetable, though it’s still low relative to many other foods.

The beets that are processed and made into sugar are a different variety from the ones we eat.

How to eat: Many people may shy away from beets because they don’t know how to cook them. To roast, place beets in an oven-safe pan with a small amount of water. Roast for 30 minutes or more at 425 degrees or until beets can be easily poked with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil or a vinaigrette.

You’ll go nuts when you take this pop quiz

By Sam McManis McClatchy-Tribune News Service

November marks the culmination of the walnut harvest in California. It’s also prime season to consume the fibrous treat, preferably while sitting in front of your TV watching “The Nutcracker.” Take our quiz:

1.

Nutritionists say the proper serving size for chopped (or shelled) walnuts is 1 ounce, which is 183 calories. How many shelled walnut halves constitute an ounce? a) 7 b) 14 c) 21 d) 28

2.

Most people overindulge once they start eating walnuts. Be careful. Eating a cup of chopped walnuts is akin to eating what? a) 1 ¼ McDonald’s Big Macs b) 3 slices of cheesecake c) 2 KFC extra-crispy thighs d) any of the above

3.

A cup of walnuts, however, does contain 31 percent of the daily value for fiber.

That high fiber content leads to a feeling of fullness, researchers

say, and so helps with weight loss. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, nut eaters were how much more likely to lose weight and stick to a diet than non-nut eaters? a) three times b) twice c) four times d) not likely

4.

The Harvard study also found that women who ate five or more servings of walnuts per week were 30 percent less likely to develop what? a) gout b) Type 2 diabetes c) heart disease d) shingles

5.

One cup of chopped walnuts contains 200 percent of the daily value of manganese.

What benefits does manganese provide? a) normalizes blood sugar levels b) helps the thyroid gland function properly c) linked to better bone health d) all of the above ANSWERS: 1: b; 2: d (1 cup of walnuts: 765 calories); 3: a; 4: b; 5: d Sources: Harvard School of Public Health; University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension; nutritiondata.self.com

DAYTON, Ohio — During the holiday season, it’s common to experience weight gain. Reasons can vary, but increased availability of food, less focus on exercise and heightened stress levels are usually the biggest culprits.

Here are some easy-to-implement solutions for the most common problems: PROBLEM: Tempting treats seem to be everywhere. You finally allow yourself to have “just one” doughnut or piece of cake, which leaves you feeling like a failure. In an attempt to get back on track, you skip the next meal or worse, promise yourself you will never eat another “bad” food again.

SOLUTION: There is no need to deprive yourself of all of your favorite foods in order to lose weight. In fact, having a low-calorie treat every now and then as part of a well-balanced eating plan can help you from feeling deprived, while still allowing for weight loss.

PROBLEM: Environment and diet. Fad dieting crazes such as low-carb or low-fat encourage avoidance, which rarely works long term. Sooner or later most people return to a more realistic way of eating and old habits, re-gaining weight and feeling as if they have done something wrong.

Unfortunately fad diets miss the mark in that they do nothing to address lifestyle and why weight is gained in the first place. A look back to leaner generations shows no need for gyms; diets were few and far between; and no obesity epidemic. People managed weight naturally because they simply moved more and ate less.

Today, driving is our primary means of transportation; convenience gadgets do the work for us; meals can be obtained without leaving the car; and a greater number of occupations require sitting for hours on end. Add television, computer and tech-device use and the accompanying extra snacking, and it becomes apparent that environment plays a huge role in ongoing weight struggles.

SOLUTION: The body is meant for movement and requires regular doses of physical activity for proper

function. Without it, muscle and bone tissue is lost, slowing metabolism and making it harder to keep weight off.

Lack of exercise also changes body chemistry, making coping with stressful situations more difficult. A vicious cycle is created as increased stress in turn zaps energy and motivation. During such times, it is common to search for relief and a boost in energy, often mistaken for hunger, by reaching for comfort foods.

To break negative habits, look to find the root cause of your choices. Take things one day at a time, and do your best to seek out people and places that help support your goals instead of feeling powerless to achieve them.

Other tips POR TION CONTROL: A must is to pay attention to serving sizes and portions. Increased body fat levels result from either consuming too many calories in or burning too few. Portion sizes have increased dramatically over the years, but here, more is clearly not better for those looking to reduce the waistline.

DON’T SKIP MEALS: Skipping meals or consuming too few calories can have significant consequences. Proper amounts of carbs, protein and fats are needed for continuing energy and cell regeneration, which spills over into how productive you are with workouts and everyday tasks.

Eating too little compromises the body’s ability to build and main-

tain muscle and bone tissue, as well as its ability to recover and repair itself as it should.

BURN EXTRA CALORIES: If your caloric intake is where it should be but you are still frustrated with progress, opt for burning extra calories through increased activity rather than depriving your body of essential nutrients. The amount of calories

each person requires depends on body composition and other factors, but generally speaking, 1-2 pounds per week is a safe weight loss.

Experts recommend that adults achieve a minimum of 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week, 60 minutes for youth, and 60 to 90 minutes for those who need to lose weight or maintain weight loss.

If you aren’t used to being physically active, start with smaller exercise sessions and build on this as you become stronger.

No more sit-ups, said Cherie Touchette, a personal trainer at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center who teaches a functional core class there. Instead, Touchette emphasizes moves that teach people to keep their spines correctly aligned while strengthening the abdominal muscles. “It’s all about posture, posture, posture,” she said.

This exercise and all of those in this series work the muscles in

the abdomen and the back. It can be done individually or you can combine all nine; this is the fourth in a series that is running in The Bulletin every other week through January.

How to do it: Start by kneeling with an exercise ball in front of you (1).

Place your hands squarely on top of the ball, then slowly lean forward to your elbows so that elbows press into the ball (2). Your weight should

be balanced between your knees and elbows, with elbows at about 1 o’clock on the ball’s surface. Tighten your core so that your body makes a straight line from your head through your knees (3). From this position, rotate your elbows around in a circle.

Do 10 to 20 circles one way, then switch directions.

Dr. Andrew Satin monitors Meredith Dobrosielski’s vital signs, as well as her baby’s, during an exercise study at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. “We do know that not only can exercise be done, it should be done,” said Satin about exercising when pregnant. “But the level of fitness should impact the individual’s prescription.”

Pregnant Continued from F1 Not too long ago doctors used to tell all women not to exercise when they became pregnant, but that advice has changed, said Satin and Dr. Linda Szymanski, a fellow in maternal fetal medicine helping conduct the research. But there still is little data about what’s too much for the elite athlete verses the couch potato and those in between. Satin said much is based on “opinion and common sense.”

They believe research is limited because doctors fear testing pregnant women. But nine months into the study, there have been no adverse reactions. As a precaution, the hospital’s labor and delivery area is close by.

About 60 women in their third trimester of pregnancy take turns on the treadmill. Some are regular runners and others are sedentary. Everyone takes a moderate walk, and the regular runners also run until they hit their peak capacity but don’t linger there. Several measurements are taken over the sessions from fetal heart rate and blood flow to the womb to fetal movement and amniotic fluid levels. The fetuses are examined by ultrasound before and after treadmill work.

Over time, the doctors plan to measure the impact on fetuses; partner with biomedical engineers to develop new ways to monitor the fetus, perhaps wirelessly during exercise; and collect long-term data on the pregnancy outcomes. The treadmill tests are the first step, and some solid data should be available in a couple of months.

All-around advice Doctors and groups such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Pregnancy Association now give blanket advice to pregnant women to get 30 minutes of exercise a day.

Potential benefits include improvement in general health and a decreased chance of gestational diabetes and hypertension, among others. Also, these groups say, labor, delivery and recovery can be easier.

But the advice is based on recommendations from government and groups such as the American College of Sports Medicine that nonpregnant people get such exercise. And it’s filled with notes of caution for those who are just starting and those with certain

Exercising while pregnant Several medical organizations recommend 30 minutes of exercising a day for pregnant women.

• If you’re just beginning or have a condition, consult your doctor. Start slow and stop if you have pain or bleeding.

• Don’t get overheated, stay hydrated and take breaks.

• Your joints may be lax and your balance off, particularly in later months, so avoid unstable ground or consider a stationary bike or running in a pool.

• No contact sports, but some weight training is OK. Avoid lying on your back after the first trimester.

conditions. The college suggests seeing a doctor first, starting slow and stopping when there’s pain or bleeding — advice Satin doesn’t dispute.

He added that doctors do know driving up a heart rate and maintaining it there for too long can cut off blood flow to the fetus. Getting overheated and dehydrated are also problems.

Joints also can become lax and balance may be off, so some exercises should be avoided, such as street biking late in pregnancy. Contact sports, horseback riding and downhill skiing also may cause injury from blows or falls.

But he and others say not everyone has gotten the message that exercise is beneficial.

It was a big change in 2008 when physical guidelines were published for Americans, including pregnant women, said James Pivarnik, who works with the sports medicine college and is a professor of kinesiology and epidemiology and director of the Center for Physical Activity and Health at Michigan State University.

He said the guidelines do indicate “that the elite runner can continue doing what she is doing for a bit, provided her health care provider is in the loop, and that she has no warning signs or other issues.” But he said “boutique” recommendations are hard with so many possible circumstances.

“Pretty much the aerobic (recommendations) are the same as for anyone,” he said.

Pivarnik agreed more research is needed, such as Satin’s.

He’s now looking at how much weight lifting is good for pregnant women.

Szymanski said the incomplete data has only confused the message. “Pregnant women express frustration because a number of doctors give different advice.

Some still tell them not to exercise, especially if they haven’t been exercising.”

‘A special population’ Outdated information and myths perpetuated by the Internet still mean many women who had been exercising — up to a quarter by some accounts — stop because they fear they will harm their babies, the doctors said.

Satin said it’s actually a really good time to suggest starting an exercise program. Women are more apt to take care of themselves when they are pregnant.

They’ll quit smoking, eat better and exercise for the sake of the developing baby and then carry over the good habits, he said.

As long as jogging is comfortable, runners can keep at it.

Stationary bikes and running in a pool also are good exercises, Satin said. And walking is safe for nearly everyone. The fetuses are not “flipping and flopping,” he said. In fact, the entire uterus is moving with the exercise motion, buoying the fetus.

Satin said his interest in pregnant athletes grew out of his work with women in the military who wanted to stay physically fit. He was formerly a professor and chair of the Uniformed Services University F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine in the obstetrics and gynecology department. Szymanski also is an exercise physiologist and collegiate athlete.

Dobrosielski, who is about to have her second child, said she decided to participate in the study because she wanted to help other women. She’s been running “forever” and played field hockey in high school and college. An ankle injury stopped her from running after 4 months, but every day she runs in a pool, does yoga, lifts weights or rides a stationary bike.

She knows she won’t lose as much of her fitness and will be able to return to running, even racing, quickly. Others should be able to find out what’s good for them, she said.

“It’s a special population and there’s so little time for study,” she said of pregnant women. “I felt comfortable exercising and I knew when I needed to stop. I think it’s important for all women to exercise and maybe this research will convince them to do that.”

A daily dose of nature can help keep kids motivated

By Julie Deardorff Chicago Tribune

Want to nurture a healthy, motivated student? Send your child outside for a daily dose of nature, say advocates of the No Child Left Inside movement.

Once the school year starts, kids tend to hibernate indoors, but studies suggest that giving children access to green spaces, sunlight and fresh air can do everything from reduce symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder to improve mood and academic performance. Spending time in nature makes us feel more alive, according to research published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology; some say this vitality can translate into increased motivation and capacity for learning.

Each day, try giving kids one hour of unstructured play in the natural world, suggests the National Wildlife Federation, an advocacy group. For children who live in areas where unsupervised outdoor play isn’t safe or accessible, a “green” hour can take place in a park, backyard, even on a porch.

Here are some tips to encourage outdoor play: Go with them. If you’re excited about going outside, your kids will be, too, said Tanya Berry, a physical education researcher at the University of Alberta.

She suggests limiting media use to reduce the pull from the indoors.

Adopt something. My boys love picking up “treasures” (aka garbage) in the alleys, so we re-

cently signed up for an “adopt a beach” cleanup program. Parks, forests, highways and yards all need cleaning up.

Find an event. Children are enthusiastic detectives; check out local nature or ecology centers for scavenger hunts, which help develop problem-solving and visual-discrimination skills. Or try naturerocks.org to find activities close to home and tailored to your child’s age.

Get gadgets. Transform the yard by equipping your children with headlamps or flashlights and letting them explore at night. During the day, pitch a tent in the yard or give them a small magnifying glass to watch bugs and other creatures.

Try binoculars and compasses, too.

M Chemical Continued from F1 He said enforcement of the new safety standard will begin very soon with state investigators issuing warnings, and possibly citations, to salons that continue to use the products without the proper safety equipment.

Formaldehyde, the chemical used to preserve biological specimens and embalm dead bodies, can be dangerous when people are exposed at high levels. It can be a carcinogen, linked to nasal and possibly other cancers, and, even at low levels, may cause rashes, eye irritation, headaches and other acute problems.

When testing revealed high levels of formaldehyde, including in products labeled “formaldehyde free,” it hit the beauty world hard. The company reacted strongly, issuing multiple press releases that called into question both the testing methods used and validity of the state’s conclusions. It says its products do not contain the levels of formaldehyde that the state claims and that they are safe if used as directed.

On the other side, a number of government agencies responded with separate investigations into the product.

The federal Food and Drug Administration is looking into the safety of the products. Other states’ OSHA agencies are also investigating.

In Oregon, the Department of Justice has opened an investigation of the company to see if its bottles violated labeling standards.

Caught in the middle

Andy Tullis The Bulletin

OSHA came to his salon to test the product. “If I breathed in or it got in my eyes, it was pretty powerful,” he said. “If it’s going to affect my health down the road, I really don’t care to do it.”

At Plethora Salon in Bend, Summer Ramsey turned a separate room in her salon into a Brazilian Blowout room. She said she moved the treatments out of the main area out of concern about the chemicals.

“All of us have children, and we consider this a family-friendly salon,” she said. She wanted to make sure she is “providing all the precautions necessary.”

Debra Cyr, at Curl Up & Dye Innovative Salon in Bend, said she feels the treatment is safe, but talks to her clients about potential concerns before she starts. “I want to be honest with them,” she said. “I say the jury’s still out.”

maximum exposure levels were not exceeded, said Melanie Mesaos, a spokeswoman for Oregon OSHA. She noted that most of the samples exceeded safe limits set by the division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that monitors occupational health. That limit is more stringent than OSHA’s limit.

The OSHA report did not measure exposures after the heat treatment portion of the procedure. Chemists who reviewed the report, however, said that once the procedure was over the level of formaldehyde left on the hair was likely very low.

“The time I would be most concerned is when I have the procedure done, but after the procedure I wouldn’t worry too much about it,” said Michael Haley, a professor of organic chemistry and head of the chemistry department at the University of Oregon.

Haley said that the formaldehyde quickly reacts with the string of proteins that make up our hair to actually change the structure of the hair itself. Once that happens, he said, “the process is not going to reverse.”

Company challenges results Brazilian Blowout, the company, challenged Oregon OSHA’s results showing high levels of formaldehyde in its solution and took its own air quality measurements.

In two salons measured by an environmental safety firm hired

by Brazilian Blowout, the air quality beat OSHA’s standards in an eight-hour period during which multiple treatments were performed. These results, said Oregon OSHA, were not incompatible with what the agency had found.

OSHA and Brazilian Blowout, however, have sharp disagreements about the testing of solutions used in the treatment. The company challenged the agency’s measurement techniques that found concentrations of up to nearly 12 percent formaldehyde. Last week, the company said in a press release that it had “formally initiated legal proceedings” against Oregon OSHA in response to its tests.

The company did not respond to requests, through its press agency, for further comment.

High Lakes Health Care is a preferred provider for most major insurance plans. New patients are now being accepted at all locations. We are now open to new Medicare patients.

At issue is how formaldehyde in a solution is measured. If the test is done the way Brazilian Blowout says is proper, the concentration of formaldehyde is about 0.0011 percent.

Chemists who reviewed the report said Oregon OSHA had used proper measuring techniques.

The company’s argument is “ridiculous,” said Russell Dills, a research scientist in the University of Washington’s Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences. “The company is trying to finesse chemistry.”

Whether the treatments will continue to be offered in Oregon remains to be seen. Some salons may chose to come into compliance with the new regulations though many more will likely drop the treatments.

When told about the new safety regulations Wednesday by a reporter, Cyr, at Curl Up & Dye, marveled at the furor around Brazilian Blowouts. “That’s interesting,” she said. “There hasn’t been this much controversy on a product in a long, long time.”

CELEBRITY M EDICINE ITP blood disorder results in excessive bruising, bleeding Actress Lisa Blount, best known for her role as Debra Winger’s friend in the 1982 film “An Officer and a Gentleman,” died at age 53. Authorities did not provide a cause of death, but Blount’s mother indicated the actress had a blood disorder known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. According to the Mayo Clinic, the condition is a bloodclotting disorder characterized by low levels of platelets, the cells that help your blood clot. It can lead to excessive bruising and bleeding. Children can develop ITP after a viral infection and generally make a full recovery without treatment. The condition is often chronic in adults.

The condition often results in pinpoint-size reddish-purple spots on the

skin, usually on the lower leg.

Treatment for ITP focuses on ensuring an adequate supply of platelets. Adults with mild cases of ITP may not need any treatment other than monitoring. If platelet counts remain low, doctors may turn to medications and removal of the spleen. Patients may also be advised to stay off medications that thin the blood, such as aspirin, ibuprofen or warfarin.

Severe or widespread bleeding that is life-threatening and demands emergency care is rare.

Can you be scared to death?

By William Weir The Hartford Courant

We like a good fright, but can you actually be scared to death?

It turns out that, yes, a goodenough scare can be the cause your demise — but probably not if you’re of normal health.

“If it were to happen it would be someone with a precondition, a weak heart or an aneurysm in the brain,” said Brian Hurlbut, who teaches psychology at Southern Connecticut State University.

“When you’re scared, and scared badly, a part of the nervous system — the sympathetic nervous system — prepares your body for violent activity.”

It’s what’s commonly known as the fight-or-flight reflex.

There have been cases in which criminals have been charged with murder or manslaughter because their vicitims died from heart attacks. But death certificates aren’t likely to reflect that.

“I rather doubt that a physician would write out ‘scared to death’,” Hurlbut said.

“People do die of overexertion, but usually they have a preexisting condition that no one knew about,” he said. “There’s the force on their body, the extra effort and the pressures can cause some weakened part of the body to give out.”

Question: It would be better for my husband’s health if we could move to a retirement community, but we’re not sure if that’s advisable, given the economy. What would you suggest?

Question: I have low back pain that becomes worse the longer that I stand. I have pain that goes straight down the back of my legs. Someone said I have “sciatica”. What does this mean?

QUESTION: I get hives & itching with hair

Answer: Retirement communities have made adjustments to keep up with people’s changing financial realities. The good news is that today you have even more choices.

Tom Biel Executive Vice Renting, of course, remains an option.

President Another option is a “refundable deposit plan,” which is common in the industry. Plus, there are several customized alternatives available. It’s important to look beyond the first year. Ask the community to help project your costs for at least three to five years. It may be that a “refundable deposit plan” could save you tens of thousands of dollars over renting in just three to five years.

For active-adult retirees, these savings can frequently exceed $100,000.

Answer: “Sciatica” refers to the pain caused by the irritation of the sciatic nerve, resulting in pain that typically runs down the leg from the buttock around the outside of the leg, the front of the knee and to the inside of the ankle.

ANSWER: Your symptoms sound like

Zeyla Brandt, P.T.

If the pain runs straight down the back of your leg, there is the possibility that your pelvic joints may be part of the problem. If these joints are unstable, the pelvis can twist slightly, causing rotation of the low back as well as direct irritation in your buttock and pain down the back of the leg.

Some physical therapists have pursued further education in the treatment of the low back and pelvis, allowing for effective evaluation and treatment of these problems. At Healing Bridge we spend an hour every treatment, focusing on individual attention and treatments designed especially to facilitate your return to normal, pain free activity, allowing you to “get your life back”.

Q U E S T I O N : I get headaches weekly and occasionally I think I get migraines. A friend told me to ask my dentist about my headaches. I can’t figure out what my teeth have to do with my headaches.

Answer:

Statistically, nearly 50% of people suffering from a whiplash injury as a result of a motor vehicle crash will experience long term pain symptoms (for longer than 1 year). About 10% will experience some degree of residual disability.

A person’s neck can experience significant forces in a Brad Pfeiffer, rear end collision, even one considered to be minor.

DC Researchers from Yale University previously found that during simulated collisions, the force in the lower portion of the neck reached 60 pounds of force in about 1/20 of a second.

Numerous studies have found that these forces far exceed the normal physiological range of the ligaments that hold the spine together.

The same researchers from Yale recently confirmed severe stretching and weakening of the facet joint ligaments after exposure to simulated whiplash and associate increased laxity of the capsular ligaments in whiplash patients as a component perpetuating chronic pain and clinical instability.

The capsular ligaments contain both mechanoreceptive and nociceptive nerve endings. A whiplash injury causing increased laxity in these ligaments may also injure these nerve structures causing inflammation and pain, and may also lead to residual instability, altered load patterns, further nerve tissue impingement, altered muscle response patterns, muscle spasm, repositioning errors, and altered neck range of motion.

If you have further questions please feel free to contact our office.

ANSWER: Until a few years ago there would have been no reason to consider your dentist as a possible treatment option for your headaches.

Fortunately things have changed. Our profession has learned a lot about how ones bite relates to the airway, posture, and muscle harmony. If any part of that system is not in harmony you can be susceptible to many symptoms including headaches. It is a very complex system and requires a lengthy explanation to understand it well. In a nut shell, I use sophisticated computer instrumentation to determine your ideal bite based on relaxed muscles. I consider your airway as well as your posture and how they relate to your bite. I commonly work with other professionals to improve your entire head and neck relationship including physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage therapy. If these efforts are coordinated the benefits can be extremely effective. I hope this brief explanation helps. I also do a community education series where you can hear with much more detail how your headaches can be improved by improving your bite.

QUESTION: Most women are urged to ingest more calcium for strong bones. But, are hard calcium deposits caused by an excess intake?

ANSWER: Maintaining adequate calcium intake is recommended for all women over the age of 11 to help build strong bone matrix as you age. In general, physicians recommend calcium supplements on top of dietary calcium in all women of child bearing Kevin Reuter, age and older. The regulation of calcium levels in M.D. the body is complex and related to vitamin D levels, kidney function, and to a chemical produced by your parathyroid glands that regulates bony calcium absorption and release. If you are healthy, these factors all contribute to keep calcium levels constant in your blood. However, in certain groups of patients, such as those with kidney disease or intestinal malabsorption, calcium levels can rise or fall.

A variety of conditions can occur in these circumstances including calcium pyrophosphate deposition disorders (such as pseudogout, pseudoarthritis, and pseudoneuropathy), kidney stones, renal osteodystrophy, vascular calcification, and calciphylaxis. However, these conditions are very rare and generally preventable by following renal function and blood calcium levels. If you have concerns about calcium supplements, talk to your family physician or internist and have your blood calcium levels checked.

Answer: You find yourself in a very common dilemma. Depending upon your anatomy and what your specific goals are, you may only need liposuction if you have localized deposits of fat and good skin tone. Alternatively, you may need a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty which will remove fat, loose skin and tighten your abdominal wall all at the same time. A thorough personal consultation will address your dilemma and put you on the right track.

A NSWER :

“Normal” bowel movements should happen 1-3 times/day. If the bowel does not evacuate daily, stool and waste are sitting in the colon creating a build up of toxins which can have many detrimental effects. There can be many causes of constipation: Kerie Raymond, dehydration, lack of fiber, hypothyroidism, lack of N.D. exercise, etc. The quickest fix is to look at water intake.

One should consume half your body weight in ounces of water (i.e. 200 lb. person should drink 100 oz. water/day). Vitamin C is another deficiency, up to 6000 mg can be taken/day in divided doses. Work up slowly and back off if diarrhea occurs. Magnesium citrate can be a good natural stool softener, take 1-3 caps at bedtime. There are many herbs that can act as laxatives, however like any laxative, they can be habit forming, and some like Senna can discolor the intestinal lining. Another alternative that many patients have found very useful is colon hydrotherapy or colonics. Water is introduced to the large intestine to flush waste and toxins from the colon.

Another benefit is exercising the muscles surrounding the colon that may have become “atonic” over time. Many patients have experienced normal, regular bowel movements after a series of colonics at our office.

Colon hydrotherapy is now available at our office.

Joe Smith has replaced Eric Buckland as CEO of Mountain View Hospital in Madras. Buckland is leaving Friday to “pursue other opportunities,” Joe Smith according to a press release. Smith, a consultant who has worked as an executive with St. Charles Health System, will be interim CEO until a permanent replacement is found.

Kerie Raymond, a naturopathic physician at the Center for Integrated Medicine, recently attended a conference on autoimmune disorders in Portland. Speakers at the conference discussed skin conditions, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia and lupus.

Continued from F1 Rooker, a 35-year-old York County, Va., resident, enrolled in Medi-Share about five years ago, after the birth of her second son. Her husband had changed jobs, and the new insurance plan was expensive for a “woman of childbearing age,” she said.

So Rooker, who’s selfemployed, signed up her husband and two sons on her husband’s employersponsored health plan, and shopped around for health insurance for herself. That’s when she found Medi-Share.

“At first, it was just a costeffective option to health insurance,” she said.

She pays $133 a month to Medi-Share and $250 per incident per year for her medical bills. Anything over that, she can submit to the group to pay.

“That has really encouraged me to look into self care and natural remedies,” Rooker said. She sees a naturopath, a provider who emphasizes natural remedies, which would not be covered by insurance anyway, she said.

The only bill she has submitted to Medi-Share was for a hormonal imbalance, and they covered it, Rooker said.

Members can qualify for discounts if they’re healthy. If they’re not, they’re assigned a health coach. That helps keep monthly shares down, Baldwin said.

Rooker sees it as a kind of catastrophe insurance. If something terrible were to happen, she would have help covering the bills, she said.

“It’s less than what I would pay for health insurance,” she said. “It’s just a more customized, personalized health program that works for me.”

Medi-Share members are encouraged to seek treatment among the more than 600,000 physicians and tens of thousands of hospitals that are a part of the network to take advantage of prenegoti-

Amanda Rooker — with her husband, Ben, and two children, Sam, 7, right, and Elias, 5 — participates in a medical bill-sharing program called Medi-Share. She doesn’t have health insurance because her husband’s employer-sponsored plan was expensive for a “woman of child-bearing age.”

“It’s less than what I would pay for health insurance. It’s just a more customized, personalized health program that works for me.”

— Amanda Rooker ated discounts, Baldwin said.

All the local hospitals are on the network, Rooker said, so she hasn’t worried about out-of-network expenses.

Members must sign a statement of faith professing faith in Jesus Christ and agree not to engage in sex outside of traditional Christian marriage, use tobacco or illegal drugs or abuse legal drugs or alcohol.

Members are not permitted to submit bills for a list of things, including abortion of a live fetus, birth control procedures and/or supplies and breast implants or reductions.

For that reason, she understands it’s not for everybody.

New study shows mental illness stigma lingers

By Shari Roan Los Angeles Times

Public perception of mental illness and addiction has changed significantly — and for the good — in the last 15 years. That doesn’t mean, however, that people feel comfortable working or living near or being friends with someone with mental illness, according to a major new survey.

The study compared people’s responses to vignettes involving mental illness and addiction to gauge public understanding of the illness and feelings toward those

who are ill or addicted. The surveys took place in 1996 and 2006.

The idea, the researchers said, was to assess whether major efforts to improve the treatment of mental conditions and eliminate stigma in the United States is working. Several sweeping efforts have been made in the past two decades to educate Americans on mental illness.

A major theme of these campaigns is that mental illnesses and addiction are biological, brain-based, sometimes-genetic illnesses that are each “a disease like any other.”

The survey finds the public has

embraced that concept, but only to a point. The percentage of people who attributed depression to neurobiological causes increased from 54 percent of those surveyed in 1996 to 67 percent in 2006.

Those who endorsed psychiatrists to help treat alcoholism increased from 61 percent to 79 percent.

However, the willingness to associate with people with these disorders did not change much. For example, the percentage of people who said they are unwilling to work closely with someone with major depression was 46 percent

in 1996 and 47 percent in 2006.

The percentage of people who considered people with schizophrenia to be a danger to others was 54 percent in 1996 and 60 percent in 2006.

Though research and treatment options for people with mental illness or addiction have clearly improved, many could be held back by social stigma, said the authors of the study, led by Indiana University researchers.

The papers appear in the current issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.

well for people who have babies or small children who want to have their immunizations and well checks,” she added.

“I would really like to see more affinity-based cost-sharing groups pop up, which are not just evangelical Christian,

but anyone else who has a common health belief, so that it’s smaller and people can feel more connected to each other,” Rooker said. “I think the model is innovative, and I would really like to see it replicated.”

When people have a common understanding about health and beliefs, they can agree on what’s covered, she said.

“You can trust that other members will provide for your need when you need it because there’s a common bond there,” she said.
