TWO WINTER DRAMAS

Bend High grad saves boy, 10, who broke through ice over pond

Prineville man rescued after 3-day, 4-night ordeal in Ochoco forest

The Bulletin

A Bend High graduate rescued a 10-year-old Saturday, after the boy fell through the thin ice covering a Colorado pond. When Dan Haley, who graduated in 2003, saw kids goofing off around a seemingly icedover pond, he started thinking “What if...?” he said. Haley, 25, was off-duty from his job as a Colorado State Patrol trooper. He and his Former Bend wife, Kirstin, resident Dan had taken Haley, 25, is their 2-yearnow a Coloold daughter, rado State Emmersyn, Patrol trooper. to a park in Greeley, Colo. They saw three boys playing and throwing rocks on the pond. “I kept watching them,” he said. “They went out a little bit farther, a little bit farther.” He remembers telling his wife and another person at the park that he was worried one of the boys would break through the surface. “A couple seconds later, I heard a big crack, and one of the kids went all the way in,” Haley said. Although he had thought about what he would do, he still acted on instinct, Haley said. He ran to the pond and started crawling on his stomach across the ice toward the boy, about 20 yards away. Although the ice at the edge held his weight, he knew it would get thinner. “About 10 feet from him, it broke under me as well,” Haley said. See Trooper / A4

A Prineville man spent three nights and four days in the Ochoco National Forest miles away from his camp until another hunter rescued him Sunday afternoon. Alan Hewitt, 48, of Prineville, set out to elk hunt for more than a week. He broke camp on Monday, Nov. 22. On Thanksgiving Day, the horse he was riding slipped and fell. The horse was injured, and so was Hewitt. The retired Marine slipped his dislocated shoulder back into place and set out to find the main road. His goal, according to his wife, was to get there before hunting season ended and all the other hunters left the forest. “He knew he only had three days,” said Brook Hewitt, his wife. Temperatures dropped to about 20 degrees overnight while Hewitt was in the forest, according to information from the National Weather Service in Pendleton. Brook Hewitt said she was starting to worry about her husband Sunday; she thought he would have tried to check in with her. But he wasn’t expected home yet, and he was an experienced hunter trained in survival techniques. So, she was going to give it one more day before calling the Crook County Sheriff’s Office. About a half an hour before dusk on Sunday afternoon, Darrell Hover, of Bend, and his father were finishing up their day of elk hunting and heading back to Prineville. Hover’s father wanted to take the main highway home. But Darrell Hover convinced him they should take the forest service road and continue to look for elk. See Hunter / A4

Local hospitals alone in not using checklist ORs across nation have adopted surgical safety protocol By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

The Oregon Patient Safety Commission announced Monday that all but two hospitals in the state are using a safety checklist shown to reduce complications and deaths during surgery. Those two hospitals are in Bend and Redmond. “There was so much coming at everybody that we had to take it slow,” said Pam Steinke, chief nursing executive at St. Charles Health System, the parent company of both hospitals. “And I

needed surgeons to champion this. This shouldn’t be an administrative mandate coming down.” In explaining why St. Charles appeared behind the rest of the state, Steinke also questioned the data showing that all other Oregon hospitals had fully implemented the checklist. The surgical safety checklist, published by the World Health Organization, was developed just a couple of years ago but has quickly become a staple in operating rooms around the country.

Army seeks recruits who talk the talk War in Afghanistan fueling the need for translators, interpreters By Raja Abdulrahim Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — The day after President Barack Obama declared an end to the combat mission in Iraq, Aman Zamani walked the main thoroughfare of Los Angeles’ Little Persia to recruit soldiers for the country’s other war. He strolled down Westwood Boulevard and walked into Saffron & Rose Ice Cream. He chatted with the owner in Farsi and ordered white rose ice cream, fulfilling a cultural obligation to

make a purchase from a shopkeeper before talking business. Zamani knew the shop was popular with young Afghans and Iranians, so he’d brought along a thick stack of business cards. But today, the shop was empty. He finished his ice cream and left. “It is a hard job to find the right person to recruit for the Army,” he said. As the United States continues its military shift from Iraq to Afghanistan, the recruitment of Army translators and interpreters has followed, and Zamani, a contractor who recruits for the Army, is among those who have fanned out to Afghan and Persian communities and shopping districts looking for potential linguists to help fight the war.

For the last decade, cancer drug developers have tried to jam the accelerators that cause tumors to grow. Now they want to block the fuel line. Cancer cells, because of their rapid growth, have a voracious appetite for glucose, the main nutrient used to generate energy. And tumors often use glucose differently from healthy cells, an observation first made by a German biochemist in the 1920s. That observation is already used to detect tumors in the body using PET scans. A radioactive form of glucose is injected into the bloodstream and accumulates in tumors, lighting up the scans. Now, efforts are turning from diagnosis to treating the disease by disrupting the special metabolism of cancer cells to deprive them of energy. The main research strategy of the last decade has involved socalled targeted therapies, which interfere with genetic signals that act like accelerators, causing tumors to grow. But there tend to be redundant accelerators, so blocking only one with a drug is usually not enough. In theory, however, depriving tumors of energy should render all the accelerators ineffective. “The accelerators still need the fuel source,” said Dr. Chi Dang, a professor of medicine and oncology at Johns Hopkins University. Indeed, he said, recent discoveries show that the genetic growth signals often work by influencing cancer cells’ metabolism. See Cancer / A5

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Holiday shopping’s in full swing, building perhaps toward a merry climax at retail outlets. For many shoppers, that will mean paying the final few installments on their layaway plans. Laying away, the practice of purchasing merchandise over time rather than paying for it all at once, without interest charges, has made a comeback over the past few years, industry experts said. It helps to meet the needs both of credit-starved shoppers and customer-starved retailers, and it’s a throwback to an allbut-gone business era that was marked by much scarcer dollars for families to live on. But the Great Recession and a dearth of jobs have combined to give the practice of laying away a new lease on life. “It’s extremely profitable for us,” said Jennifer Weld, a Kmart store manager in Columbia. “Customers can even put our clearance items on layaway, and right now we have a huge amount of toys and electronics (in storage).”

Now, Kmart touts the program in its advertisements and even makes the service available online. Layaways aren’t for everybody, though. “There is an increase in the popularity of layaways, but it depends on the type of retailer,” said Marianne Bickle, director of University of South Carolina’s Center for Retailing. “I don’t think

Feds bust websites selling bootleg goods Department of Justice seizes domain names of dozens of ‘rogue’ sites By Richard Verrier Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Just in time for the holiday shopping season, the feds are once again cracking down on websites dealing in bootleg goods. The Department of Justice said Monday that it moved to seize 82 domain names of websites “engaged in the illegal sale and distribution of counterfeit goods and copyright works.” The illegal goods include sports equipment, shoes, handbags and sunglasses, as well as the usual merchandise: illegal copies of copyrighted DVD boxed sets, music and software. Federal law enforcement agents made undercover purchases from online retailers suspected of selling counterfeit goods, which in many cases were shipped to the U.S. directly from suppliers in other countries using international express mail.

“Intellectual property crimes are not victimless,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement. “The theft of ideas and sale of counterfeit goods threaten economic opportunities and financial stability, suppress innovation and destroy jobs.” The operation, which involved several federal agencies, comes six months after authorities seized domain names of eight websites offering pirated copies of first-run movies. One of those sites, TVShack.net, shut down only to pop up under a similar name, TVShack.cc. That U.K. domain site was among those seized Monday, said John Morton, director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “We are not going to go away,” Morton said. The film industry’s leading trade group was happy with the crackdown. Bob Pisano, chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America, called the Internet sites “ ‘the worst of the worst’ rogue websites, which cloak themselves in respectability and yet traffic in counterfeit and stolen goods.”

Credit card overuse, late bill payment or identity theft can contribute to serious credit history problems. How can individuals reverse a credit predicament and re-establish a good credit standing? The answer may lie at a local bookstore or an online book vendor. A number of books offer insights and tips on how to address credit difficulties and a credit report problem. Here are a few titles: • “Credit Repair, 9th Ed.,” by Robin Leonard and John Lamb; Nolo, 268 pages ($24.99).

layaways will become popular again (across the board).” Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, abandoned its layaway program in November 2006, but other national retail giants such as Sears, Marshalls, T.J. Maxx and Burlington Coat Factory have kept layaway service in place. Most recently, Toys R Us, the national children’s toy store giant, opened up its store stock to layaways last year. The company said the program has been successful and is continuing it this holiday season.

Catering to consumers Particularly big at Kmart in the 1960s, layaway now is proving to be a “differentiating factor” for the retailer. The service brings more people through the doors in a tough economy, Bickle said, as more consumers are looking to pay for holiday presents without using credit. More than four in 10 holiday shoppers say they will rely on debit cards as their primary form of payment this year, a 20 percent increase from 2005, when just

34.3 percent said they would, according to a new report by the National Retail Federation. Using cash this year will be 25.7 percent of consumers versus 24.9 percent last year, according to the survey. And 27.6 percent of shoppers in the survey say they will charge their gifts, the lowest since 2002. Kmart’s layaway program features two plans: an eight-week payoff plan for online shoppers and an eight- or 12-week plan for in-store customers. Kmart layaway customers pay a $5 initiation fee for the eight-week plan and $10 for the 12-week plan. The customer must also make a down payment on the merchandise at the time he or she makes the layaway, equaling either $15 for the eight-week plan or $30 for the 12-week plan, or a straight 10 percent down payment, whichever is greater. A customer who decides to cancel the layaway must pay a $10 or $20 cancellation fee. The customer will be refunded the payments he or she has made on the merchandise, which is then returned to shelves. Born in the Great Depression, layaways fell on hard times in the 1980s with the advent of instant credit and the widespread availability of credit cards. The shopping public swiftly transitioned from a pay-as-yougo consumer base to a buy-now, pay-later base, which still figures heavily into a debt-ridden U.S. society, financial analysts have concluded. More are taking advantage of layaway to pay for even everyday needs as credit availability tightens.

T S High court to assess campaign financing law

VIOLENCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Iranian nuclear scientist killed in bomb blast

By Adam Liptak New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a First Amendment challenge to an Arizona law that provides matching funds to candidates who accept public financing. The law, enacted in 1998, gives an initial sum to candidates for state office who accept public financing. Then it provides additional matching funds based on the amounts spent by privately financed opponents and by independent groups. There is reason to think the Supreme Court will find that second part of the law problematic. In June, the court issued an order barring its enforcement while appeals were prepared. In January, Judge Roslyn Silver, of the U.S. District Court in Phoenix, said the matching-funds program placed an unconstitutional burden on the First Amendment rights of candidates relying on private funds. A “strange aspect” of the case, she said, was that “a single lump-sum award, instead of incremental awards” to publicly financed candidates would be constitutional. The distinction, Silver said, was required by the Supreme Court’s “millionaire’s amendment” case, Davis v. Federal Election Commission, which struck down a part of the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. The federal law allowed candidates to raise amounts over the usual contribution limits when rich opponents spent more than a given amount of their own money. Defenders of the Arizona law said it differs from the millionaire’s amendment in that it involves public subsidies rather than limits on private contributions. “We believe this provision is constitutionally sound and advances First Amendment values rather than burdening them,” Michael Waldman, executive director of the Brennan Center for Justice.

U.S. and S. Korea reject talks By Helene Cooper and Sharon Lafraniere New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The United States, South Korea and Japan are all balking at China’s request for emergency talks with North Korea over the crisis on the Korean Peninsula, as high-profile military exercises between South Korea and the United States in the Yellow Sea continued in a show of force. Obama administration officials said that a return to the table with North Korea, as China sought this weekend, would be rewarding Pyongyang for provocative behavior over the past week, including the North’s deadly artillery attack on a South Korean island and its disclosure of a uranium enrichment plant. Beijing called for emergency talks with North Korea, the United States, Japan, South Korea and Russia, participants in the six-party nuclear talks, which have been suspended indefinitely. “The United States and a host of others, I don’t think, are not interested in stabilizing the region through a series of PR activities,” Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman, said. He said that the talks “without

“The United States and a host of others, I don’t think, are not interested in stabilizing the region through a series of PR activities.” — Robert Gibbs, White House spokesman an understanding and agreement from the North Koreans to both end their behavior as they exhibited last week, but also to come to the table with a seriousness of purpose on the denuclearization issue — without that seriousness of purpose, they’re just a PR activity.”

A pointed rebuke aimed at China Rejecting the emergency talks amounts to a pointed rebuke to China. The United States wanted China to signal clearly that North Korea’s aggressive behavior would not be tolerated. Instead, Beijing remained neutral about who was responsible for the recent flare-up.

Yet turning down China’s offer may also reveal the limited options available to the Obama administration and the South Korean leadership. Aside from a show of military solidarity, the two countries have based their response largely on hopes that China, as North Korea’s main economic and diplomatic supporter, might punish the reclusive government for its series of provocations.

U.S. wants a clear sign from North Both President Lee Myungbak of South Korea and Prime Minister Naoto Kan of Japan strongly suggested Monday that they were not prepared to engage in consultations, as suggested by the Chinese, either. It remains unclear just what the United States would actually accept from North Korea to return to talks. One Obama administration official said that the United States wanted a clear sign that the North “will stop provocative behavior.” “We’re trying to get out of this cycle where they act up and we talk,” the official said. He spoke on grounds of anonymity under diplomatic rules.

Senate expected to vote on food safety bill By Lyndsey Layton The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The Senate is expected to vote today on legislation that would revamp food safety, give significant new authority to the Food and Drug Administration and place new responsibilities on farmers and processors to keep food free from contamination. The Senate began debate on the measure Monday. A version of the bill easily passed in the House more than a year ago but has languished in the Senate. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is pushing to get the bill passed before the lameduck session ends in December. House leaders have indicated that the House would accept the Senate version, avoiding the need to reconcile the bills. The legislation follows a spate

of national outbreaks of food poisoning involving products as varied as eggs, peanuts and spinach, in which thousands of people were sickened and more than a dozen died.

IN CONGRESS

Agricultural divide The bill has revealed a divide between the burgeoning local food movement and major agriculture businesses. Small farmers concerned about the cost of new federal regulation were initially opposed to the bill and argued that since most cases of national foodborne illness are caused by large companies, small

producers should not be required to meet the same standards. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., a farmer, added an amendment before Thanksgiving that would exempt small farmers and those who sell directly to consumers at farmers markets and farm stands. But the Tester amendment has angered large agriculture groups, which argue no one should be exempted from producing safe food. The Produce Marketing Association and the United Fresh Produce Association have withdrawn their support for the bill in light of the Tester amendment. The bill would place greater responsibility on manufacturers and farmers to prevent contamination — a departure from the current system, which relies on government inspectors to catch

contamination after the fact. The measure also would give the FDA authority to recall food; now, it must rely on food companies to voluntarily pull products off the shelves. And it would give the FDA access to internal records at farms and food production facilities. The bill would set safety standards for imported foods, requiring importers to verify that products grown and processed overseas meet safety standards. Public health experts say this is urgently needed, given the increase in imported foods. The FDA has been inspecting only about 1 percent of imported food products. The bill would also require the FDA to regularly inspect farms and food processing facilities, something it does not currently do.

Obama announces 2-year pay freeze for federal employees By Lisa Rein and Perry Bacon Jr. The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Monday announced a two-year pay freeze for most of the 1.9 million civilians who work for the federal government, as he tried to address concerns over a mushrooming deficit and placate Republicans who have targeted the workforce for big cuts. “Getting this deficit under control is going to require some broad sacrifices, and that sacrifice must be shared by the employees of the federal government,” Obama said in a White House speech. He

called federal workers “patriots who love their country” and said the cut is not just “a line item on a federal ledger.” But he said he is asking federal workers to sacrifice for the country as “they’ve always done.”

Fiscal commission The president’s proposal comes just before a fiscal commission he appointed is scheduled to issue a final report Wednesday on how to staunch deficit spending. The panel’s leadership has recommended a three-year pay freeze for most federal workers.

The freeze, which must be approved by Congress, would be the first two-year halt to federal raises in modern history.

Amounts to a pay cut With health insurance premiums for civil servants set to jump 7.2 percent on average next year and a federal transit subsidy to be cut by half Dec. 31, the plan will amount to a pay cut for many workers. But the freeze is a largely symbolic move to address a federal deficit that will top $1 trillion next year. It is estimated to save

just $2 billion over the next year. “You could always count on your increase,” said Danielle Swain of Manassas, Va., an analyst for the foreign export service of the Agriculture Department who is nervous about the cut to her commuter-rail subsidy. “If you don’t get a bonus this is all you get. They’re picking on the government because they assume we sit around and don’t do anything. Well, it’s not true.” The last freeze to federal pay came in 1986, and it was for one year. President Bill Clinton proposed skipping the 1994 raise but was rebuffed by Congress.

BEIRUT, Lebanon — For the second time in less than a year, an Iranian physicist connected to an international project that includes Israel and the Islamic Republic as member states died in a bomb blast in Tehran, adding to the mystery of what appears to be attacks against Iran’s nuclear brain trust. Majid Shahriari, a nuclear scientist at the capital’s prestigious Shahid Beheshti University, died in a bomb blast Monday morning that injured his wife and driver, Iranian authorities told local news outlets. Another Shahid Beheshti nuclear scientist, Fereydoun Abbasi, and his

wife were injured in a separate attack about the same time. No one claimed responsibility and no arrests had been made, Iranian officials said Monday. But authorities quickly blamed Israel and the West for the attacks. A powerful and still mysterious Jan. 12 explosion killed Iranian physicist Massoud Ali Mohammadi near his home. Both Mohammadi and Shahriari were delegates to Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East, or SESAME, a United Nations-backed particle physics project based in Jordan that is one of the few projects in which Iran and Israel officially cooperate.

6 NATO troops killed by Afghan police officer trainee By Alissa J. Rubin New York Times News Service

KABUL — Six NATO service members who were training Afghan border police officers were killed Monday when one of the trainees turned his gun on them, according to a NATO statement and Gen. Aminullah Amarkhail, the Afghan Border Police commander for Nangarhar province. The shooting occurred in the Pachir-Wa-Agam district of Nangarhar, which borders Pakistan and includes the Tora Bora mountains and the cave complex that was one of the last hideouts of al-Qaida in Afghanistan after the invasion by U.S. and allied forces in 2001.

An Afghan border officer who recently completed training and who asked not to be named because he was not supposed to talk to reporters said that most of the NATO trainers were Americans, but he said he did not know the nationalities of those who had been killed. A NATO spokeswoman, Lt. Col. Regina Winchester, said that an investigation was under way and that the nationalities and other details would not be released until it was completed.

Linguists Continued from A1 The recruitment trail can be challenging. The pool of candidates who speak Dari, Pashto or Farsi is far thinner than the Arabic speakers the military sought out during the Iraq war. And many in the communities have reservations about the war. The Army has been able to sign up only nine Los Angelesarea recruits for the language program in the last year, far short of the goal of 48 local enlistees and just a fraction of the 250 signed nationwide. “It’s a much smaller population. ... We’re involved in a lot of community liaison activities and I expect this year to do more than in years past,” said Lt. Col. Frank Demith, assistant deputy for foreign language and culture for the Army. “It’s much harder to recruit.” The Army’s projected shortage of translators comes at a time when the need is most crucial — as the U.S. ramps up preparing an Afghan police, army and justice system and meeting with local councils in preparation for an eventual U.S. withdrawal. Earlier this month, NATO leaders set a goal of 2014 to transfer security responsibilities to the Afghan government — a longer timeline than initially thought — as alliance forces increasingly focus on training, advising and logistics, areas in which specialized linguists are critical. “You’re not simply looking for language, you’re looking for expertise, you’re looking for people who can operate in combat zones, you’re looking for people who can work with local officials,” said Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Once enlisted, recruits go through basic training, though when deployed their names are not stitched onto their uniforms for security reasons. Some are quickly shipped to Afghanistan; others — especially women — remain stateside to train soldiers preparing to deploy. On the front lines, translators often accompany commanders and high-level officials to meetings with Afghan governors and leaders. Sometimes their value goes beyond simple translations. One soldier, who asked not to be identified because of security risks, recounted interceding when he saw U.S. soldiers shooting toward a mountain pass in Afghanistan during target practice. The soldier, who had grown up in the area, knew there was a village on the other side of the mountains and believes he probably prevented casualties. Former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz authorized the recruitment of soldiers with special language and cultural skills in 2003 after the U.S. invaded Iraq. At the time, the main focus was on Arabic, Turkish and Kurdish. “Our mission mirrored our presence overseas,” Demith said.

Trooper Continued from A1 Haley reached the boy, who was swimming and keeping his head above water, and started breaking the ice so the two could swim back to shore. He pushed himself up on the ice a bit and broke it with his elbows, repeatedly, moving toward shore. “He was staying quite calm, for a 10-year-old (who was) obviously scared,” Haley said. Then Haley turned around and saw the child completely under water, weighed down by his soaked coat. So Haley grabbed the coat’s collar, and somehow — he can’t remember how — pushed the boy up onto the ice, then thick enough to hold him. Haley, who at 6 feet tall couldn’t touch the bottom of the pond, had to keep breaking the ice and swimming. Finally, when he tried to break it and

Hunter Continued from A1 On the way back, Hover saw something he thought was a red backpack. “There was so much white. And all we could see is brown and white, trees and snow,” Hover said. “And there’s this red thing 40 yards off the road.” Hover stopped the car and walked toward the object. There, he saw Hewitt, who was sitting on a log, hunched over with a bit of red on his headgear. “I walked toward him and he put his head up and motioned me to go ahead and go,” Hover said.

U.S. reassures countries as leaks rattle relations By Mark Landler and J. David Goodman New York Times News Service

Army Sgt. Nycole Burns, left, talks to Yalda Saheem, 22, who had just enlisted at the Army Recruitment Center, in Canoga Park, Calif., in October. Saheem, an Afghan national who speaks Dari, Pashtu and Farsi, is going to be part of the 09 Lima program, which puts native speakers of Arabic, Dari, Pashtu, Farsi or Kurdish in uniform to serve alongside troops in combat.

More Afghans pursue asylum The number of Afghans who are fleeing their country and seeking political asylum abroad has spiked dramatically during the past two years, a sign that people here are giving up the dream of a peaceful homeland to seek security and employment elsewhere. The increase has coincided with a sharp escalation in U.S. troop levels and has made Afghanistan the world’s top country of origin for asylum seekers worldwide, according to statistics compiled by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. Last year, 27,057 Afghans sought official protection in foreign nations, and although Although military action began first in Afghanistan, Iraq was viewed as the longer commitment and Arabic remained the military’s main focus until troop deployment to Afghanistan began to spike. Afghans and Persians make up less than a third of the Arab populations in the U.S., and winning recruits in those communities is complicated because military contractors compete for the same pool of applicants, offering better pay and less long-term commitment. Zamani, born in Kabul and a U.S. resident since 1981, began with the Los Angeles Army battalion in April but recently quit the assignment because of the long drive from his home in south Orange County. He now works for private firms that recruit for the Army. During his six-month stint with the Army, Zamani met with potential recruits to explain the

the pace is down this year, the overall trend line could be a troubling indicator as the United States seeks to return Afghanistan to stability. The majority of the refugees are young men in their teens, 20s and 30s, often well educated and with the means to pay $20,000 or more to smugglers for passports and visas to Pakistan or Iran, then to Europe, Australia, Canada or the U.S., immigration officials said. Some are fleeing war-ravaged villages or ethnic tribal violence. But more appear to be pursuing education and higher-paying jobs, sending money home to their families or arranging for relatives to join them abroad. — The Washington Post program and test their native language skills. It was a lessthan-exhaustive examination. “Can you tell me in Pashto, ‘I want to go to Afghanistan to work for the people?’ “ he asked a man who had been brought by a recruiter to the battalion in Encino. The man, whose long black hair fell to his chin, repeated the sentence in Pashto. “I want to join with the U.S. Army,” Zamani said, giving the man another line, which he repeated successfully. “OK, he speaks Pashto, English is good, whatever the process is you can start it.” “That’s it?” the man asked, surprised. Zamani gave him handouts in both English and Pashto and told him about the signing bonus, education money and citizenship. Even though the man was going on two years of unemployment with mounting debt, he still

it didn’t give, he scurried up onto the ice and did a log roll to shore. He estimates he was in the water for eight minutes. “I stood up off the ice, walked up onto the bank and just collapsed,” Haley said. He and the boy, Brenndan Daviet, were both taken to a hospital, treated for hypothermia, and released, according to a news release from Colorado State Patrol. Haley said some of his fingers were still a little numb, and he was cut and bruised from the

ice. But otherwise, he has recovered. And Sunday he was able to see Brenndan and his family. “It was nice to see him doing OK,” he said. “He was a brave little kid.” Going in to rescue someone who has fallen through the ice is not something he would recommend doing — that person usually becomes the second victim, Haley said. But he couldn’t just stand by, he added. “I was just real happy that I was there and able to help out,” he said.

Hover figured the man had other hunters on his way to pick him up. He started to walk away. Then he stopped and turned around. “I looked into his eyes and thought, there is no doubt (this guy needs help),” Hover said. “This guy is almost catatonic.” Then Hewitt told him he needed help. “He said, ‘I’ve been out here for four days,’ ” Hover said. “I couldn’t believe it.” He helped Hewitt back to his truck, stripped him of his wet clothing, turned up the heat and gave him some coffee. Hover said Hewitt started to warm up but was having a hard

time talking. Hover said Hewitt started to share information about himself. It was hard to hear and at times it didn’t make sense, but he found out Hewitt spent 16 years in the military. He heard he has two fake hips, a fake knee, titanium around his spine, that he’s been shot at and blown up in war zones. Hover said Hewitt was about eight miles from his camp. As Hewitt trekked through the forest, he kept his injured horse with him until the final day. The animal could no longer make it. Hewitt had another horse back at camp. On Monday, Crook County

wasn’t eager to enlist. The pitch to potential enlistees mainly focuses on the benefits, long-term stability and expedited citizenship rather than a patriotic appeal. Occasionally, Zamani was confronted by people who felt his recruitment on behalf of the Army was a betrayal. But recruiters could find a more receptive audience within these new communities because inside forces that predate the U.S. invasion are also blamed for the turmoil in Afghanistan, said Saeed Khan, a history professor at Wayne State University who specializes in Muslim identity in the West. The Iraq war and resulting sectarian violence, on the other hand, was viewed as a consequence of America’s actions. On the day Zamani walked up and down a mostly empty Westwood Boulevard, he returned to his 1992 Jaguar with 30 minutes still on the parking meter and a thick stack of cards left in his pocket. Patsy Rubio, a public information officer with the battalion who accompanied him, brought back a stack of ethnic newspapers in which she wanted to place ads. They drove to a Persian restaurant for lunch. Zamani had previously tried leaving some of his cards at the restaurant but was turned down by the owner. Zamani didn’t ask why. On the drive, he pointed out a hookah bar where young Afghans and Iranians hang out and smoke. “So you think a hookah bar would be a good place to advertise?” Rubio asked. “No, it might be a good place to go and talk to people,” he said, but then added after a slight pause, “but they will be drinking, so maybe not a good place to talk to them.”

Haley moved to Bend with his parents about 15 years ago, said his mom, Carlanne Haley. He played football at Bend High and in college. “He’s always been a really neat kid, and giving, and always thought of other people,” Carlanne Haley said. “He obviously did that day.” Craig Walker, Bend High football coach and athletic director, said Haley was an unselfish person and a good teammate, who cared about others — even keeping in touch with a player on an opposing team who got hurt. “In the world of sports, if you’re a great teammate you always think about the greater good of others, and that’s the kind of person he was,” Walker said.

WASHINGTON — Some world leaders expressed anger Monday over the disclosures in confidential U.S. diplomatic cables, even as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she was confident that the administration’s diplomatic relationships would withstand the upheaval. The cables, obtained by WikiLeaks, an organization devoted to revealing government secrets, and published in The New York Times and European publications, included frank and unflattering characterizations of world leaders by U.S. diplomats. For example, the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, was characterized in the cables as “risk averse and rarely creative,” and Clinton’s counterpart in Germany, Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, was dismissed as having little power. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy was described as “feckless” and “vain,” while President Nicolas Sarkozy of France was called thin-skinned.

Countries respond Israel said it found some measure of vindication in the revelations of regional dismay with Iran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the documents supported Israel’s assessments of Iran. “There is not a huge gap between what we say behind closed doors and what we say openly,” Netanyahu said, adding such was not the case in other countries in the region. Some Arab leaders were quoted in the documents criticizing Iran and pushing the United States to take action against its suspected nuclear program, positions they would never take in public against a powerful neighbor. Netanyahu refused to discuss a cable from the spring of 2009

that quoted Israel’s defense minister, Ehud Barak, telling visiting U.S. officials a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities was viable until the end of 2010, but after that “any military solution would result in unacceptable collateral damage.” Netanyahu said only there was no doubt that the Iranian program was “progressing all the time.” Iraq also responded to the release of the cables, some of which quoted King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia speaking scathingly about the Iraqi prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki. Iraq’s foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, called the leaks “unhelpful and untimely.” He said the revelations could damage al-Maliki’s efforts to bring together a government in Iraq. “We are going through a critical time, trying to form the longawaited government,” he said. “We hope it will not poison the overall atmosphere among Iraqi politicians and Iraqi leaders.” Iran, whose leadership and nuclear program were the subject of some of the most sensitive cables, issued the angriest response, accusing the United States of purposefully allowing the confidential diplomatic correspondence to become public.

Many cables still unpublished The New York Times and the other news organizations that have been reporting on the diplomatic exchanges have so far published only a few hundred of the cables, out of about 250,000 obtained by WikiLeaks, and some of those The Times has posted have been redacted to address security concerns. WikiLeaks has so far posted on its website only the cables that have been reviewed by and in some case redacted by The Times and the other news organizations; so far, the rest of the trove of cables remains unpublished.

Clinton calls release of cables ‘an attack on the international community’ By Mary Beth Sheridan The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held a regular meeting Monday with her Turkish counterpart, there was little sign of the crisis atmosphere that has enveloped the State Department since the huge leak of confidential diplomatic cables. Standing before reporters, Clinton pronounced herself “delighted” to welcome “a colleague and friend here to the State Department.” Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu responded with his own diplomatic niceties. But thousands of State Department cables, just released by WikiLeaks, were providing a glimpse into what U.S. diplomats really thought of some of their counterparts — including Davutoglu. The correspondence, at one point, described Davutoglu as being among Turkish officials who are “lost in neo-Ottoman Islamist fantasies” and who “pull conspiracy theories off the Web.” For Clinton, the meeting became one more challenge in a massive damage-control operation she is leading on behalf of the Obama administration. In the days before the disclosure, Clinton called leaders in Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Britain, France, Afghanistan, Canada

and China to warn them of the leaks, officials said. On Monday, in her first public comments on the cables, Clinton blasted WikiLeaks and expressed confidence that the release wouldn’t permanently damage U.S. relations abroad. “Let’s be clear: This disclosure is not just an attack on America’s foreign policy interests,” Clinton told journalists in the Treaty Room. “It is an attack on the international community — the alliances and partnerships, the conversations and negotiations that safeguard global security and advance economic prosperity.” Clinton sought to bolster morale, sending a note Sunday night to State Department personnel — “a message to the troops, if you will,” said her spokesman, P.J. Crowley. “We’ll be making clear that, you know, we value the diplomatic work that is done at posts all over the world,” Crowley said Monday. One senior official said Clinton was stoic about dealing with the damage. “As the nation’s diplomat-inchief, this is really unpleasant, and difficult and uncomfortable,” said the official, who was not authorized to comment on the record. “But if you ask her, is it harder than trying to negotiate Middle East peace, or maintaining good relationships in Asia, or dealing with North Korea — no.”

Cancer Continued from A1 with few drugs in clinical trials. But interest is growing among pharmaceutical companies and academic researchers. One factor spurring interest in cancer metabolism is the intriguing interplay between cancer and diabetes, a metabolic disease marked by high levels of blood glucose. The possible link between the two great scourges has garnered so much attention that the American Cancer Society and the American Diabetes Association jointly published a consensus statement this summer summarizing the evidence. People with Type 2 diabetes tend to have a higher risk of getting certain cancers. And preliminary evidence suggests that metformin, the most widely used diabetes pill, might be effective in treating or preventing cancer. It is still not clear if high blood glucose is the reason diabetics have a higher cancer risk. A more likely explanation is that people with Type 2 diabetes have high levels of insulin, a hormone that is known to promote growth of certain tumors, according to the consensus statement. Similarly, metformin might fight cancer by lowering insulin levels, not blood sugar levels. But there is some evidence that the drug works in part by inhibiting glucose metabolism in cancer cells. Even if blood sugar levels fuel tumor growth, however, experts say that trying to lower the body’s overall level of blood sugar — like by starving oneself — would probably not be effective. That is because, at least for people without diabetes, the body is very good at maintaining a certain blood glucose level despite fluctuations in diet. “When a patient with cancer is calorically restricted, the amount of glucose in the blood until they are almost dead is close to normal,” said Dr. Michael Pollak, professor of medicine and oncology at McGill University in Montreal. Also, Pollak said, tumors are adept at extracting glucose from the blood. So even if glucose is scarce, he said, “the last surviving cell in the body would be the tumor cell.” So efforts are focusing not on reducing the body’s overall glucose level but on interfering specifically with how tumors use

glucose. This gets to the Warburg effect, named after Otto Warburg, the German biochemist and Nobel Prize winner who first noticed the particular metabolism of tumors in the 1920s. Most healthy cells primarily burn glucose in the presence of oxygen to generate ATP, a chemical that serves as a cell’s energy source. But when oxygen is low, glucose can be turned into energy by another process, called glycolysis, which produces lactic acid as a byproduct. Muscles undergoing strenuous exercise use glycolysis, with the resultant buildup of lactic acid. What Warburg noticed was that tumors tended to use glycolysis even when oxygen was present. This is puzzling because glycolysis is far less efficient at creating ATP. One theory is that cancer cells need raw materials to build new cells as much as they need ATP. And glycolysis can help provide those building blocks. “You can have energy that turns on the lights in your house, but that energy can’t build anything,” said Matthew G. Vander Heiden, assistant professor of biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Still, as with everything else about cancer, metabolism is complex. Not all tumor cells use glycolysis, and some normal cells do. So it could be challenging to

develop drugs that can hurt tumors but not normal cells. Two early efforts by a company called Threshold Pharmaceuticals to interfere with glucose metabolism did not work well in clinical trials. One of Threshold’s drugs, called 2DG, is the same form of glucose used in PET imaging, but without the radioactivity. Because of a slight chemical modification, this form of glucose cannot be metabolized by cells, so it accumulates. But much less 2DG buildup is needed to spot a tumor on a scan than to destroy it by gumming up its works. Large amounts of the drug were needed because 2DG lasted only a short time in the body and because it had to compete with the natural glucose that is abundant in the bloodstream. Efforts have not ended, however. Waldemar Priebe, a professor of medicinal chemistry at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, said he had developed a way to deliver up to 10 times as much 2DG to a tumor. It has been licensed to a startup called Intertech Bio. The other Threshold drug, glufosfamide, consisted of glucose linked to a standard chemotherapy agent. The idea was that, as with the Trojan horse, the tumors would eagerly ingest the glucose only to then be poisoned. In a late-stage clinical trial involving more than 300 patients with advanced pancreatic can-

Checklist Continued from A1 The checklist gives physicians and medical teams a short list of items to check at crucial points during surgery. Steinke said St. Charles has been testing the list in pilot projects for most of the past year. She expects to implement it in all of the operating rooms at the beginning of 2011. Currently, the safety checklist is used in three or four of St. Charles Bend’s 19 operating rooms. Steinke cited several issues that held up quicker implementation of the surgical safety checklist. In the last year, St. Charles has been involved in a number of safety initiatives in its operating rooms, said Steinke. In particular, it had a difficult time reconciling safety steps required to keep its accreditation with The Joint Commission, which is tied to Medicare payment, with the new surgical checklist. The commission has its own requirements for safety steps during surgery.

Surgeons weigh in Another issue was the attitude of physicians involved. That, experts said, is often an issue in hospitals. “Surgeon buy-in was slow,” Steinke said, which was part of the reason the effort as a whole has been slowed. She said surgeons wanted to make sure the list did not include extraneous items and did not want to be the managers of checklist items, as they are

THE BULLETIN • Tuesday, November 30, 2010 A5 on the original version of the checklist. St. Charles, like many hospitals, has modified its checklist from the version created by the WHO. The St. Charles checklist has fewer items and is entirely led by the circulating nurse. The WHO checklist has multiple members of the medical team who ask about certain items on the list. Dr. Darren Kowalski, a general surgeon at Bend Memorial Clinic and chief of surgery at St. Charles, acknowledged some reluctance on the part of physicians. “The surgeons (at St. Charles) have felt we’re doing a good job already,” he said. “Do we really want to take on a new way?” Still, Steinke said, physicians are warming to the idea. “I had a brand-new surgeon who stood up (at a medical staff meeting in October) and said, ‘This is the right thing to do.’ ” Kowalski said most physicians involved in surgery were now on board.

Saving lives The surgical safety checklist incorporates conversations between surgeons and the rest of the medical team at three stages of surgery: before a patient is anesthetized, before an incision is made, and before the patient goes from the operating room to the recovery room. The idea is that everyone checks in about basic and crucial aspects of surgery, such as whether the patient has any known allergies, whether equipment to prevent blood clots is needed and ready, and whether the surgical site is

marked. Though the routine sounds simple, double-checking these aspects of a surgery has saved lives. In a 2009 study, done in hospitals all over the world, use of the checklist reduced the proportion of patients who died during surgery from 1.5 percent to 0.8 percent. The number of patients with complications fell from 11 percent to 7 percent. After the study was published, national organizations called on every hospital to implement the checklist. A number of states, including Oregon and Washington, undertook to use the checklist in every hospital.

‘Communication and teamwork’ “An important aspect of the checklist is an improvement in communication and teamwork it engenders,” said Dr. Patchen Dellinger, a professor of medicine at the University of Washington and a co-author on the 2009 study. Traditionally, surgeons did most of the talking in an operating room, sometimes even forbidding anyone else to speak. The checklist gives nurses or other people in the operating room a forum to air questions or concerns about the procedure, Dellinger said. “Pilots crashed planes in the old days because the co-pilot was afraid to speak up. The same thing can happen in the operating room.” Betsy Q. Cliff can be reached at 541-383-0375 or bcliff@bendbulletin.com.

Extent of Haitian election fraud disputed By Randal C. Archibold and Damien Cave New York Times News Service

Israel taps veteran spy to lead Mossad JERUSALEM — Israel on Monday named a veteran spy to head Mossad, a sign that the country’s main espionage agency will continue to be active and aggressive and that Iran will remain at the top of the Israeli foreign policy agenda. Tamir Pardo, who will succeed current director Meir Dagan at the end of the year pending approval by a panel of judges, “is the right man to usher the organization through the coming years,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. In his eight years in office, Dagan is said to have revolutionized the Mossad, put top priority on Iran and pressed for expanded operations overseas. His name appears in several of the cables divulged by the WikiLeaks website Sunday, in which he warns U.S. officials of Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

Court blocks pardon in blasphemy case ISLAMABAD — A surprise court intervention Monday in Pakistan could delay for years, or even scuttle, the chances of a presidential pardon for a Christian woman who has been condemned to death for blasphemy, lawyers and activists said. The case of Asia Bibi has raised an international outcry, including a plea for mercy from Pope Benedict. The blasphemy law in majority-Muslim Pakistan is controversial. Its targets are mostly Christians and members of an Islamic minority sect known as Ahmedis. The Lahore High Court issued an order Monday barring a presidential pardon for Bibi because an appeal was pending before it. Pakistani officials previously had strongly indicated that she would be pardoned shortly and then freed.

Expectations modest at climate conference WASHINGTON — Global talks on climate change opened in Cancun, Mexico, on Monday with the toughest issues unresolved and little expectation of a breakthrough on shaping an international treaty to curb emissions of the heat-trapping gases linked to global warming. But some who attended the meetings, sponsored by the United Nations, expressed muted hope that small steps could be made on a decades-long journey to reduce the planetary threat of rising global temperatures. This year’s talks come at a low point for global climate diplomacy. Last year, more than 100 heads of state gathered with hopes of fashioning a binding treaty to address global warming. A year later, midlevel envoys are trickling into a Mexican resort with hopes, at best, of averting disaster.

Election ballots lie in the street near a burning tire in Grande Riu Du Nord village, Haiti, on Monday.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — With Haiti on edge after widespread reports of voting irregularities in its presidential election Sunday, the chief of a team of international election observers acknowledged the problems Monday, but said they did not appear serious enough to invalidate the election. Colin Granderson, who led a team of more than 100 observers from the Organization of American States and the Caribbean, also rebuked 12 of the 18 candidates for

their denouncement Sunday of the election because of what they said was “massive fraud” by President Rene Preval’s governing party. Haiti’s national election council has called the voting problems minimal and is proceeding with tabulating ballots, with preliminary results expected Dec. 7. But it seemed clear that popular perception that the election was tainted was growing in a country with a long, sometimes violent history of political turmoil. One radio skit said the entire episode was “like a Hollywood movie, and the title is ‘Ocean’s Eleven.’”

The streets of the capital were quiet Monday but for sporadic reports of protests and roadblocks. But two popular musicians, one on the ballot (Michel Martelly) and another who wished he had been (Wyclef Jean, the Haitian-American singer) raised the specter of civil unrest if their aims, which they said reflected the electorate’s, were not met. Jean called a news conference at which he predicted civil unrest unless there were an independent, international tabulation of the results and an investigation of what went wrong.

Fresh powder at Bachelor Comcast fee makes for strong opening ignites fight over By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

Peggy Falcaro is closing her Italian restaurant, Giuseppe’s, after tonight’s dinner service and 25 years of operation. “I feel like 25 years has been a good run,” Falcaro said Monday, citing the economy and competition from chain restaurants among the reasons for closing the dinner house at 932 N.W. Bond St. “The ma and pa places are getting harder and harder to keep going,” she said, adding that she has good, loyal customers, “but unfortunately, just not enough to keep it going.” Falcaro said she’s selling the business to a trio that plans to reopen the restaurant as Bond Street Bar & Grill on Dec. 7. A member of the group could not be reached for comment Monday evening. “They’re local,” Falcaro said, adding that “it’s nice when it’s locals taking over from locals.” Falcaro said she plans to help the new owners in the transition through December. She said members of her staff also are expected to assist. “It’s just been a great experience,” Falcaro said of Giuseppe’s. “A good portion of my life has been spent here. I raised my son here. It’s going to be hard to leave it, but on the other hand, I’m ready.”

Bend restaurant Giuseppe’s closing

The first weekend of the 2010-11 ski and snowboard season has come and gone at Mt. Bachelor ski area and Hoodoo Mountain Resort, with varying results. Crowd turnout and snowfall are important measurements for moun-

tains, but at the outset of a ski season, those gauges do not necessarily provide reliable forecasts for the coming months. Still, after months of inactivity, skiers and mountain operators cannot help but be excited about the beginning. Mt. Bachelor’s winter season began Wednesday with a rare 3

feet of powder on top of manmade snow, said Andy Goggins, director of the mountain’s marketing and communications. “We had a patroller up here who said it was the best opening day he’s seen in 32 years,” Goggins said. With all that snow, the first weekend also was a hit, with visitors and season-pass holders alike expressing excitement, he said. See Ski / B5

Level 3 Communications, a central partner in the Netflix online movie service, accused Comcast on Monday of charging a new fee that puts Internet video companies at a competitive disadvantage. Level 3, which delivers the Netflix streams of movies, said Comcast had erected a tollbooth that “threatens the open Internet,” and indicated that it would seek government action on the issue. Comcast struck back Monday night, saying that Level 3 had “misportrayed” its “commercial negotiations.” The clash highlighted the growing importance of Internet video delivery — an area that some people say needs to be monitored more closely by government regulators. Net neutrality, which posits that Internet traffic should be free of any interference from network operators like Comcast, is thought to be on the December agenda of the Federal Communications Commission.

Cyber Monday sales strong; could top $1B By Mae Anderson The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Cyber Monday started as a gimmick to get people to shop at their desks on the first workday after Thanksgiving. But if you promote something enough, it can take on a life of its own. This year, stores swamped customers with online ads and e-mail deals, and sales could top $1 billion, making it bigger than any single shopping day last year. Online sales were running 15 percent ahead of last year’s by 3 p.m. Eastern Time Monday, with the day’s biggest shopping hours still to come, according to IBM’s Coremetrics tracking service. “The numbers are really strong,” said the service’s chief strategy officer, John Squire, who added that he expects Cyber Monday to be the biggest online shopping day of the season.

nuses, Carlson said. During the most recent boom times in Central Oregon, between 2005 and 2007, employment at Carlson Sign topped out at 33 before dropping to 18 in 2009, after the housing market crash sent the economy into a tailspin.

Since then, Carlson said, the company has raised its staff to 21 by aggressively pursuing sign contracts across the Northwest and into California. “We are pretty reluctant to hire until we get a consistent backlog of work,” Carlson said. “Right now, we’re busy trying to find work so the crew will have a project to start when they finish the one they’re working on.” The company makes myriad signs — from large metal ones to neon and other signs identifying businesses or their products. The business was founded in 1948 by Carlson’s grandfather, Ted Carlson. See Signs / B5

When does market ‘research’ become inside information? By Andrew Ross Sorkin New York Times News Service

On Wall Street, it is called the “mosaic theory.” Every day, professional investors and research analysts work the phones to ferret out information about companies that can’t be found by simply reading news releases. Some will walk through shopping malls interviewing Gap store managers, for example, to gauge how sales are going. Others might monitor sales of certain component parts in Asia to determine how many iPads Apple might sell this quarter. Investors use multiple tidbits of nonpublic information from various sources to build a “mosaic” to try to get an edge on other investors. For better or worse, that is what passes as “research” in the finance world. Amid a wide-ranging investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and federal prosecutors into hedge funds and the “expert networks” that supplied them information, some investors may be asking themselves if their “mosaics” may soon be considered “insider trading.” See Information / B2

More utilities ditching coal, Economic splits building gas-fired plants in euro zone EUROPEAN DEBT CRISIS

seen as threat By Stephen Castle New York Times News Service

BRUSSELS — In the wake of Europe’s latest debt crisis, the euro zone could be diverging into two or even three different economic parts, a move that threatens to compound the problems even further. Significant economic differences have always existed between the euro zone’s northern and southern countries. But some economists now believe that, intensified by the shocks of the financial crisis, multiple differences threaten the future of the euro itself. “I don’t think it’s sustainable in the absence of a much greater degree of political and economic integration,” said Simon Tilford, chief economist at the Center for European Reform, a research institute based in London. After publication of new figures on Monday, a senior European Union official acknowledged for the first time that a two-speed euro zone might be developing, with Germany racing ahead while debt-laden countries on the Continent’s periphery battle stagnation. “It has to be admitted, there is a certain dualism in Europe,” Olli Rehn, the European commissioner for economic and monetary affairs, said Monday while announcing the commission’s autumn economic forecasts. Germany has “rebounded very forcefully from the finan-

Information Continued from B1 “The SEC’s recent enforcement docket reflects a belief that certain buy-side investors’ investment activities were rife with insider trading violations, and that there are more to be found,” the law firm Fried Frank wrote in a note to its clients last week titled “Avoiding Insider Trading Risks in Fundamental Investment Research.” Indeed, the mosaic theory itself is one of the central defenses in the insider trading investigation of Raj Rajaratnam, founder of the Galleon Group. “Throughout his career, Mr. Rajaratnam has worked tirelessly as permitted by the securities laws to build a mosaic of public information about the companies he follows,” his lawyer said. In other words, Rajaratnam, like many who subscribe to the mosaic theory, contend that none of the individual bits of scuttlebutt they pick up constitute material insider information; the edge they get, they say, comes from putting it all together. That’s the “value add,” in Wall Street parlance. (In the Galleon case, it must be noted, there is evidence that the information being passed was more than just various assembled data points; it included tips on pending mergers and earnings announcements, which fall in the traditional definition of insider trading.) When young analysts are trained on Wall Street, they often read the CFA Institute’s standards and practices handbook, which declares: “The idea behind the mosaic theory is that each individual piece of information is nonmaterial by itself: An individual piece of information would not move the price of the security if disseminated in a public press release. Taken together, however, the bits of information can form a meaningful mosaic. This practice is perfectly legitimate.” But is it? While it has long been considered standard practice to ask the local Gap store manager how sales are going, the store manager’s answer may actually fall into a gray area. According to most white-collar lawyers, the ultimate test is whether the information is “material.” (There’s also a question of whether the manager is breaching his or her fiduciary duty to the company by providing such information.) In truth, knowing the sales at one Gap store isn’t material because the company has some 3,100 stores around the globe. However, if you went store to

cial crisis and economic recession with a strong growth of exports — increasingly spilling over to the domestic demand,” Rehn said. Ireland and some countries in the south of Europe, in contrast, “have faced significant difficulties,” he said. Adding to the complexity, other European officials say, is a third group of economies that includes France and Italy, which did not suffer as much during the recession because they were less reliant on global trade yet have not recovered as well even as trade has rebounded. Financial markets gave a largely negative reaction Monday to the 85 billion euro, or $111.2 billion, bailout package for Ireland announced Sunday night and to the announcement of new rules for dealing with debt crises in the euro zone after 2013. EU officials had hoped the Irish rescue, and greater clarity on future rescues, would quell market fears of crisis spreading to other heavily indebted euro countries, like Spain and Portugal. After initial gains, European stocks retreated, and investors continued to sell the bonds of Spain, Italy, Belgium and Portugal. The spread, or interestrate differential, between Spanish and German 10-year bonds rose to the highest level since the creation of the euro in 1999. Wider spreads indicate that investors are seeking a higher yield to compensate for greater perceived risk.

store and managed to find out sales figures for 1,000 of them, you might have something closer to “material” information. Materiality, according to Fried Frank, is “information that a reasonable investor would consider significant in deciding whether to purchase or sell a company’s securities.” It is the breadth of that definition that has some people worried that it will be stretched even further. John Kinnucan, a principal at Broadband Research in Portland, Ore., who was interviewed by the FBI and refused to wear a wire, wrote on DealBook’s website on Monday: “If major banks, whose compliance departments are presumably staffed with former Securities and Exchange Commission lawyers, regularly publish industry data like iPhone build and Dell motherboard production changes, the rest of us can reasonably conclude that this must have regulators’ blessing. Otherwise, why would it have been allowed to proceed unchecked for years?” Many of the “expert networks” that may be a target of the government’s investigation help investors ferret out such behindthe scenes information. “The intrinsic purpose of these firms, which is to help uncover nonpublic information, does not violate insider trading regulation,” Integrity Research Associates wrote on its website last week after a series of FBI raids of hedge funds. Whatever suits are brought, many of them may be compared to a 1973 insider trading case against Raymond Dirks, a research analyst. According to Fried Frank’s memo, the court in that case determined that insider trading could be established only if prosecutors proved three separate points: that the tipper has breached his fiduciary duty to the shareholders by disclosing the information to the tippee; the tippee “knows or should know that there has been a breach” and that some benefit inured to the tipper as a result of providing the information. But there may be an even more important and larger lesson in the Dirks case. All this “research” is actually quite important, even if it gets close to the line. Otherwise, investors would be left making decisions simply based on what they are fed by companies. The Supreme Court, which ended up ruling against the SEC in the Dirks case, wrote that if he been found guilty, it “could have an inhibiting influence on the role of market analysts, which the SEC itself recognizes is necessary to the preservation of a healthy market.”

HOUSTON — Progress Energy Carolinas, one of the South’s larger utilities, faced a quandary last winter. Several of its coal-fired power plants were aging and needed scrubbers to reduce emissions and meet North Carolina pollution laws. Executives figured that even tougher regulations were coming from Washington, and overhauling 11 generators at four plants would have cost nearly $2 billion, which would have been passed on to the company’s 1.5 million electric customers. Plunging natural gas prices, however, offered Progress Energy an alternative that would save money and help it achieve pollution goals at the same time: scrapping the coal plants and replacing them with two gas plants over the next four years. “It’s a turning point,” said Bill Johnson, chairman and chief executive of Progress Energy, the parent company. “We’ve been a coal-based generator for decades, and until a few years ago, we thought we would remain largely coalbased and nuclear until people started talking about carbon regulation. We decided we had to do something about it.” A lot of utilities are coming to a similar conclusion. Over the last year and a half, at least 10 power companies have announced plans to close more than three dozen of their oldest, least efficient coal-burning generators by 2019. A few are being replaced by new, more efficient coal plants, but many more are being replaced by gas-fired plants. Coal still accounts for about half of the country’s electrical power generation, compared with about a quarter for natural gas, but that ratio has been shifting gradually toward gas over the last decade or so. Gas burns cleaner than coal, helping utilities meet state and corporate goals for reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. Older coal plants, on the other hand, require expensive upgrades, including scrubbers and other controls, to meet coming compliance rules to reduce mercury, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions. Energy specialists estimate that compliance with new federal regulations alone could require $70 billion of investments over the next decade for replacing or retrofitting the coal power fleet. Just as significant, gas prices have remained at depressed levels over the last two years after a two-thirds collapse from the 2008 economic tu-

Sales Continued from B1 The Monday after Thanksgiving was dubbed Cyber Monday by the National Retail Federation trade group in 2005 to describe the unofficial kickoff to the online shopping season. The idea was that people returning to work after the long weekend would shop at their desks. It never really was the busiest online shopping day of the year. But like any good marketing angle, it spawned imitation. Nearly 90 percent of U.S. retailers offered some kind of Cyber Monday promotion this year, targeting shoppers who didn’t want to venture out at 4 a.m. for those in-store deals. In 2007, 72 percent offered a Cyber Monday promotion. “Retailers are doing everything they can to build up and extend the event aspect of it — tweeting deals every hour, running Cyber Monday ads — like it’s such a big thing you can’t miss out on,” said Stacy Landreth Grau, associate professor of marketing at Texas Christian University’s Neeley School of Business. Rachel Bergman, general manager of e-mail marketing service Experian CheetahMail, said this year the company sent out

Steam rises from cooling towers at Xcel Energy’s Cherokee Station in Denver earlier this month. The utility plans to replace some of its coal-fired units with gas-based units within the next decade. mult, while coal prices have increased by more than a third this year because of higher production costs linked to tougher regulations and increased demand from China. Many people in the industry believe that gas prices will stay relatively low because of the proliferation of gas drilling in shale fields across the country over the last five years. “Coal is losing its advantage incrementally to gas,” said Michael Zenker, a gas analyst at Barclays Capital, “and as long as gas prices stay as low as they have been, it’s going to continue indefinitely.” New gas generation capacity will outstrip new coal generation capacity by more than 30 percent through 2020, according to projections from the Energy Department. And Credit Suisse predicts that the replacement of coal plants by gas plants over the next seven years could lower annual demand for steam coal, which is burned for electricity, by 15 percent to 31 percent and increase demand for gas by 8 percent to 16 percent. “It has the potential to reshape energy consumption in the United States significantly and permanently,” said Dan Eggers, a Credit

several hundred million Cyber Monday promotional e-mails, 40 percent more than last year — on behalf of clients like Borders, J. Jill and Bass Pro Shops. It has rarely been the biggest online shopping day of the holiday season, however — last year it was No. 2 — and this year, online deals have been stretched by retailers throughout the weekend. Historically the biggest online shopping day of the year comes sometime in mid-December, when shoppers face deadlines for ordering to ensure delivery by Christmas Eve. Last year, it was Dec. 15, according to online research firm ComScore. But this year, shoppers seem to be in the mood to spend more. On Thanksgiving Day, usually quiet for online shopping, Americans spent $407 million online, 28 percent more than last year. They spent nearly $650 million online the following day, up 9 percent. Last year, Cyber Monday sales totaled $887 million. This year, $1 billion wouldn’t be a surprise, analysts say.

Suisse energy analyst. Although coal is also being replaced by nuclear and renewable energy sources in some places, energy specialists say that gas will be the main benefactor because of availability and cost. Since burning gas emits a fraction of the greenhouse gas emissions of coal, environmentalists tend to favor the switch, although some worry that more gas drilling could pollute groundwater because of the chemicals used in breaking up shale rock. Pollution laws generally make gas more appealing than coal. Even as many states like Colorado and Michigan enacted stricter pollution laws, the Environmental Protection Agency last summer imposed new limits on sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions in 31 Eastern states and Washington by 2014. Under court order, the EPA is due to set a national standard for mercury emissions next year that will be phased in over the next three years or so. The EPA is also pressing for efficiency improvements at existing coal plants to lower carbon emissions linked to climate change.

and separately a pair of headphones slashed to $45.69 from $130 from Amazon.com. “I get the feeling of deals being better, having watched Amazon all last week and today,” Gallo said. Many shoppers don’t actually buy at work. They compare prices from their desks, then buy when they get home, said Graham Jones, vice president of merchant accounts for deal aggregator Pricegrabber.com. Peak activity on that site is usually 7 or 8 p.m. Retailers like Best Buy, Target and others have extended their online deals through much of the weekend and through the week, but they were offering specific deals Monday. Target offered a Kodak Waterproof mini video camera, regularly $99.99, for $49.99, and it will offer more deals Tuesday and throughout the week. Walmart.com, which is pushing the event as “Cyber Week,” promoted bikes for $39 and a 6.5quart Dutch oven for $33.

An important event

Google is prepared to pay $5 billion to $6 billion for Groupon, the daily deals site, people familiar with the deal said Monday. A deal could be struck as soon as this week, these people said, cautioning that the talks still could fall apart. At that price, Groupon would be the largest acquisition ever for Google. The deal would make Google the market leader in the fast-growing arena of locally tailored discounts. The acquisition would also be Google’s biggest foray into local business advertising online, a large and untapped market it has been trying to get into, most recently by promoting Marissa Mayer, an executive, to oversee the local business and trying to buy Yelp, the local review site, last year. Over the last decade, Google has acquired dozens of companies, spending billions for the online advertiser DoubleClick and the videosharing site YouTube. Since it was founded in 2008 by its chief executive, Andrew Mason, Groupon has become the fastest-growing Internet company ever. Groupon, whose name is a combination of the words coupon and group, is a group-buying site with a local focus. Subscribers receive a deal each day, tailored to the users’ location and profile. Although Groupon will offer smaller side deals, the objective is to highlight one discount for each user. A typical deal is 50 percent to 90 percent off retail goods and services, like restaurant certificates, sky diving lessons and spa services. It’s a formula that has taken off, turning Groupon into a cash machine with more than 12 million registered users and estimated annual revenue above $350 million. Google declined to comment on the report, and Groupon could not be reached. During recent weeks, Groupon has been the subject of scores of takeover rumors. Both Google and Yahoo were among the company’s top suitors, according to the people briefed on the matter, with the latter prepared to pay about $2 billion. But Groupon’s founders rejected the approach as too low.

of $59.50. By Monday morning, the price was $35, and an extra savings came by way of free shipping. Christy McClung, a student and quality control worker in Central Oregon, said she bought a TV at BestBuy.com after she was out of town and missed Black Friday sales. While she didn’t find exactly the TV she wanted, she bought one because it was a good value, she said. “With the free shipping, it was a great deal.” Cyber Monday’s share of online holiday spending has grown slightly over the past five years, from 2.5 percent in 2005 to 3 percent last year. That’s partly because of shifts in the calendar that make the holiday shopping season longer or shorter, but also because “as consumers become more attuned to deals and discounts, Cyber Monday has become a more important event,” said Andrew Lipsman, an analyst for ComScore. Online spending is still a relatively small piece of the holiday pie, between 8 and 10 percent of total holiday sales.

Some shoppers who bypassed discounts over the weekend were rewarded Monday. At Landsend.com, a girl’s jacket was on sale for $39.99 on Sunday, a third off the retail price

T F Finding the best apps for grocery shopping By Carrie Kirby Chicago Tribune

Before we talk about using smart phone apps to save money at the grocery store, let’s get something out of the way: No application is going to save you enough money to pay for a fancy new phone, not to mention the data plan. Now, if you already own a smart phone, lots of apps aim to make grocery shopping easier and save you money. I tried some grocery apps while shopping for my daughter’s Daisy Girl Scouts troop. The troop needed to buy supplies to make sack lunches for a homeless shelter. I turned to my phone to get the job done under budget. Here are some grocery tasks that your smart phone can do for you. The apps are free unless a price is listed, and they are available for both iPhone and Android unless a platform is listed. Photos by Noah Berger / New York Times News Service

Scott Thompson, president of PayPal, sees plenty of room for growth. With technology evolving so rapidly, he predicts that the next generation of consumers will be unfamiliar with something as basic as a check. “We are literally just scratching the surface,” he said.

By Verne G. Kopytoff SAN JOSE, Calif. — When Scott Thompson, the president of PayPal, chats with executives at its parent, eBay, he is diplomatic about the size of his business compared with eBay’s marketplace. “I hope — honestly, genuinely — that we never get bigger than you,” he tells them. But in fact, PayPal, the online payment service, is quickly narrowing the gap. By adding legions of new users and online retailers, PayPal is threatening to overtake eBay’s struggling marketplace as the biggest breadwinner within a few years. PayPal accounted for 37 percent of eBay’s overall revenue in the third quarter compared with 23 percent just five years ago. EBay’s payments unit, which consists mostly of PayPal, had $838 million in revenue in the three months that ended Sept. 30, up 22 percent from the period a year earlier. The auction and retail operations, which eBay calls marketplace, took in $1.41 billion in revenue during the same period, an increase of just 3 percent. If the current growth patterns continue, PayPal will surpass its parent in revenue around 2014 — and even sooner if the unit is able to insinuate itself into mobile payments as successfully as it has with Web transactions. Thompson says he hopes eBay’s marketplace remains the bigger of the two because it would underscore a renewed strength in that business. But John Donahoe, eBay’s chief executive, considers PayPal’s eventual ascendancy to be almost a foregone conclusion. “PayPal’s target market is all of e-commerce,” he said this month. “EBay is just one merchant.” If PayPal becomes larger than the auction business, it will be in part because the growth in eBay’s marketplace has slowed significantly in the last decade. Users became so dissatisfied with the site’s clutter, its clunky technology and problems with fraud that Donahoe declared an emergency soon after he took the job and began a turnaround effort. The results have been slow in coming.

Task: Make a list Apps: Grocery iQ, Grocery King ($4.99, Android), Shopper (99 cents, iPhone), WychList ($1.99, iPhone) There were tools for making shopping lists before smart phones came along: pens and paper. But a modern phone has the advantage of scanning bar codes using its onboard camera. Not only is it fun to point a phone at bar codes and listen to it beep, but it’s also easier than writing.

Using Grocery iQ, I scanned items I already had in the fridge that matched what I wanted to buy for the Daisy troop and saved them to a list. I could then e-mail that list to my husband if I want him to stop at the store on his way home.

Thompson said there remained much to do at PayPal. Since payment systems are evolving so rapidly, he predicted that the next generation of consumers would be unfamiliar with something as basic as a check. “We are literally just scratching the surface,” he said. Credit card companies that have partnered with PayPal may be its biggest rivals in the new mobile payments space. Already, they have mixed feelings about PayPal’s success. On one hand, PayPal is an important customer because every day it facilitates millions of credit card transactions. On the other hand, PayPal also threatens credit card companies by giving users the option to pay for their online purchases directly from their bank accounts. Jim McCarthy, head of global products for Visa, said PayPal had deliberately encouraged users to shift away from credit cards to reduce its costs. Thompson acknowledged as much, but he said PayPal and the credit card companies were now “complementary.” He added, though, that credit card companies would likely never “stand on the sidelines and cheer for us to succeed.” Credit card companies chafe when PayPal marketing describes the service as a safer alternative than credit cards and reel at PayPal’s suggestion that fraud victims have to jump through hoops to be reimbursed. “They’ve done an effective job of co-opting the customer benefits we provide and claiming it as their own,” McCarthy said. Analysts note that a number of companies have tried to challenge PayPal but none of them have made much progress. Google’s rival service, Checkout, was perhaps the most serious threat when it was introduced four years ago, but it never took off. “A lot of people failed to understand and appreciate what a significant lead PayPal has and how difficult it is to overcome,” said Scott Kessler, an analyst with Standard & Poor’s.

Netflix, which announced a new pricing structure last week, is gradually weaning its customers from DVDs by mail in favor of online streaming, making any new fees a serious concern. Comcast on Monday seemed to rebuff the notion that the requested fees were related to Netflix by saying that it was essentially blind to the type of traffic that Level 3 was distributing, “We are happy to maintain a balanced, no-cost traffic exchange with Level 3. However, when one provider exploits this

cast’s Internet network open to competitors, according to public filings this month. In theory, without government action, Comcast could speed up streams of NBC programs and slow down streams of its competitors’ programs. “This may be one of those teaching moments for consumers to understand what’s at stake,” said Michael McGuire, a media analyst for Gartner Research. There is no known case, however, of Comcast ever slowing down the traffic to one of its direct competitors. Comcast says it supports an open Internet. Level 3 in essence operates a highway on the Internet that handles traffic to and from in-

dividual websites. Comcast customers rely on the company’s onand off-ramps from that highway. With 17 million broadband Internet customers, Comcast is the nation’s largest such service provider. The scuffle between the two started Nov. 19, when Level 3 says Comcast demanded a recurring fee to “transmit Internet online movies and other content to Comcast’s customers who request such content.” Three days later, under pressure from Comcast, “Level 3 agreed to the terms, under protest, in order to ensure customers did not experience any disruptions,” Stortz said. Stortz did not cite Netflix in

his statement. But just a week before Comcast’s demand, Level 3 announced a multiyear deal to support Netflix’s rapidly growing streaming service. A recent study found that at peak times, Netflix represented 20 percent of Internet download traffic in the United States. That makes it a de facto competitor for incumbent distributors like Comcast and Time Warner Cable, which are eager to protect both the subscription television business and the emerging video-on-demand business. Stortz implied that Comcast was taking the action to impair companies that compete with its own cable and Internet services. Comcast has been promoting

Foundation. It is very unusual for one family or business to win both awards,” said Jim Weaver, executive director of the foundation. “The President’s Scholarship Award honors businesses, individuals or families for their strong support of COCC scholarships.” He said the scholarship awards supported by Carlson Sign are awarded based on financial need and students’ potential. “These scholarships change lives,” Weaver said. He said the Meal of the Year Award honors communitywide charitable contributions, as well as support given to the COCC Foundation. “Peter, as the head of Carlson Sign, and his wife, Patti, who is a member of the COCC Foundation’s trustees, are very generous,” Weaver said. “What I really like about Peter and Patti is, they are like the saying, ‘Still waters run deep,’ ” Weaver said. He said the Carlsons have what he called the Bend spirit of community where people get involved with helping others but don’t talk much about it. Carlson Sign was recognized as the Business of the Year in 2004 by the Bend Chamber of Commerce. Peter Carlson served several terms on the chamber’s board of directors; he was president-elect in 2004, president in 2005 and past-president in 2006. He was just elected to serve another term on the chamber board, starting in January. Tim Casey, the chamber’s executive director, said the Carlson

family has been active in volunteering on the chamber board for more than a generation, and that Peter’s continued involvement will help strengthen the community. “Peter provides a wealth of leadership and experience that will enhance our efforts to improve the economic vitality of Bend,” Casey said.

Ski

Q: A:

Continued from B1 He thought it possible for La Niña — the lowering of sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, which can spark more precipitation in areas nearby — to have played a part in the positive outcome in the first few days of the season. The mountain had 41 inches of base-depth snow on Monday afternoon and 46 inches at midmountain. At Hoodoo, weekend crowds didn’t materialize with the snow, according to Chuck Shepard, Hoodoo’s president and CEO. Turnout was “just a little bit disappointing,” he said. It could’ve been the down economy, he said. Or maybe it was the Arizona-Oregon football game going on in Eugene on Friday, which was opening day at Hoodoo. Or maybe some other games were keeping potential skiers from the ski area, he said. It wasn’t the snow, which already measures 31 inches, according to Hoodoo’s website. Friday and Saturday were

Why has contributing to the COCC Foundation been a priority for you and your family? The scholarships give people a chance to succeed if they are willing to help themselves and put in the effort.

Q: A:

Why have you been involved in the Bend Chamber of Commerce? It is the largest, most organized advocate for businesses in Bend.

Q: A:

What’s involved in making signs? Sign-making is a specialty trade that requires a high level of skill and knowledge. It takes years to learn the art of sign-making.

Q: A:

Describe how longtime employees benefit the company. We know we can count on them to do a job right, and to do it safely.

Why did you volunteer to serve on the chamber board again in 2011? I think small business, in particular, needs to have a group that is working to help them succeed, and I think that’s what the chamber does.

Q: A:

How does having longtime employees benefit your customers? Our customers have come to count on them. Having employees with experience means things get done right the first time, with fewer mistakes or accidents.

What are the biggest obstacles to businesses succeeding in Oregon? Regulations and taxes take a bigger bite out of the bottom line of businesses in Oregon than most other states.

Q: A:

What is the biggest local government obstacle to your business? It’s a sad day when the cost of getting permits exceeds the cost of putting up a sign, but that’s what it’s come to.

Q: A:

What is your accident rating? We haven’t had any accidents. We are in the top 90 percent in terms of our safety rating for workers’ compensation insurance. That is an exceptional safety rating, when you consider we work with boom trucks, lad-

type of relationship by pushing the burden of massive traffic growth onto the other provider and its customers, we believe this is not fair,” Comcast said. Nonetheless, on Monday night, public interest groups that have steadfastly opposed the combination of Comcast and NBC Universal said the Level 3 case proved that Comcast would discriminate against competitors if it could. “On its face, this is the sort of toll booth between residential subscribers and the content of their choice that a net neutrality rule is supposed to prohibit,” said Harold Feld, legal director of one such group, Public Knowledge, in a statement.

slower than last year, Shepard said, while Sunday was a little bit better. But he said he expects more snow this season than last, when La Niña became El Niño, which brings reverse effects, namely less precipitation. This winter, he said, might compare to the winter carrying over from 1998 into 1999, when Hoodoo enjoyed a 25-foot base — “huge,” Shepard said. “We are gearing up for that (again),” Shepard said. The resort was closed Monday and will reopen Thursday, as demand is traditionally slow at Hoodoo right after Thanksgiving, he said. A report on the weekend turnout and snowfall at Willamette Pass, the ski resort east of Oakridge, was not available at press time. The website for the ski area, which opened Friday, stated there were 28 inches of snow at the lodge as of Sunday night. Jordan Novet can be reached at 541-633-2117 or at jnovet@ bendbulletin.com.

Analysts expect Boeing to delay Dreamliner another 6 months Company working on design changes after fire during recent test flight Bulletin wire reports Market analysts on Monday projected a six-month delay in the first delivery of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and cut estimates of how quickly the company would increase production of the plane. The current delivery target is the first quarter of 2011. The latest forecasts came in response to Boeing’s announcement last week that it expected to come up with a new delivery schedule over the next few weeks for the much-delayed plane. Boeing said it was working on design changes for power distribution panels after a recent fire forced a test plane to land in Texas. The fire, which lasted less than 30 seconds, was probably caused by debris left in a panel, the company said. The company, based in Chicago, said it would update the software that managed power distribution so the planes would not have to switch to backup power if a similar incident occurred. Boeing has been counting heavily on the Dreamliner, the first jetliner made primarily with lightweight carbon composites to slash fuel costs. It has attracted more advance orders — nearly 850 — than any plane in history. And as air travel rebounds from the recession, it should enable Boeing to overtake Airbus as the top jet maker. But Boeing has had to rebuild crucial parts from foreign suppliers. And analysts said that

With its expected six-month delay, Boeing’s total delay of the 787 Dreamliner could exceed three years. Even after the jets are flying again, and without a major redesign, they still need to complete more than 700 hours of an expected 3,100 hours of testing. Boeing originally targeted May 2008 for entry into service. the problems, along with the changes prompted by the fire, were likely to add to the delays in the plane’s first delivery, which had been scheduled for February. “The status of the 787 is still in limbo, but a six-month delay seems like a reasonable first stab at how far the schedule might slide,” Joseph Nadol III, an analyst at J.P. Morgan, wrote in a note to clients. Robert Stallard, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets, also expected a six-month delay. Nadol reduced his estimate of the number of Dreamliners that Boeing would deliver in 2011 to 20, from 45. Stallard cut his to 10 planes, from 22. Stallard said the delays could have a cascading effect over the next several years, making it difficult for Boeing to reach its planned production rate of 10 Dreamliners a month by the end of 2013. Boeing executives have acknowledged that they out-

sourced too much of the design work, and production of the first 20 to 30 planes has been slowed by the need to rework many parts. David Strauss, an analyst at UBS, wrote Monday that November was the seventh consecutive month in which deliveries of structural components to Boeing’s 787 plant were below previous levels. The delays prompted Nadol and Stallard to make modest cuts in their estimates of Boeing’s earnings in 2011. Given all the problems, Boeing has projected that the Dreamliner would produce profit margins in the low single digits for perhaps the first 1,000 planes it sells, Nadol wrote. He said the jet was still likely to be profitable over that period, though the added costs were eating into that buffer. Other analysts said that if the Dreamliner lived up to its promise, Boeing could eventually sell several thousand planes.

A labor contract recently approved by Deschutes County deputy district attorneys is scheduled for a public hearing and vote before the County Commission on Dec. 8. For deputy district attorneys, the contract contains a soughtafter just cause provision. If approved by the commission, it would require incoming District Attorney Patrick Flaherty and future district attorneys to provide a reason for disciplining or dismissing union members, according to a copy of the contract obtained by The Bulletin. The contract provides for predisciplinary hearings, where members can respond to the district attorney’s allegations before any disciplinary action is taken. It also sets out a grievance procedure employees can follow if they believe other employees in the District Attorney’s Office have violated the contract. Pay increases are not guaranteed in the contract. Rather, deputy district attorneys would remain at their current pay grade under the agreement and receive pay increases and paid leave “in equal measure” to those received by nonunion county management employees.

E-mail correspondence between Central Oregon Community College administrators show school officials were concerned about the Associated Students of COCC — and even weighed the option of disbanding the group — in the month before the student government retained a lawyer to clarify its role at the college and its ability to administer student fees. ASCOCC faces a recall effort, an ongoing battle with the student newspaper over public records and allegations that student government misused student fees, and is currently in discussions with college administrators about its role at the college. The e-mails between Sept. 1 and Oct. 16 and obtained by The Bulletin through a public records request indicate college administrators had been working behind the scenes to figure out the issues since at least the start of the 2010-11 school year. Some of the problems student government has faced this year come from COCC’s lack of a formal policy detailing ASCOCC’s roles and responsibilities. While the college has had a student government since at least the 1950s and a student fee that ASCOCC oversees since 1993, no formal policy was ever put in place. See ASCOCC / C5

Bend, Sisters plan to spend ODOT grants on bicyclists, pedestrians

The Bulletin

Central Oregon is in the thick of a new snowstorm, with a winter weather advisory in effect along the U.S. Highway 97 corridor and a winter storm warning for much of Crook County and eastern Deschutes and Jefferson counties. The storm that is affecting much of the Pacific Northwest will bring 4 inches to 8 inches of snow to higher elevations in western Deschutes and Jefferson counties and 2 inches to 5 inches to lower elevations, from today through Wednesday afternoon, said Ann Adams, an assistant forecaster for the National Weather Service in Pendleton. This forecast also includes Prineville. The weather advisory for this area took effect Monday. This morning, the snow level for the area is approximately 3,500 feet above sea level, Adams said.

Bend and Sisters have both won grants of about $650,000 from the state and will use the money to improve bicyclist and pedestrian safety. The news was released Monday by the Oregon Department of Transportation. The money will be available beginning July 1, 2011. The Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, which approved the grants totalling $5.3 million, received about 90 applications from across the state. Eleven cities in Oregon won grants. Sisters expects to begin work on its project in early summer or late fall of 2011. Bend remains about two years away from putting shovel to dirt. Sisters Community Development Director Pauline Hardie said the money would help create a new bike corridor through the city. The work will include new bike lanes on Main Avenue, between Pine Street and Larch Street, and back-in parking. Sidewalks along that stretch will also expand from 6 feet to 8 feet. “It will be a huge improvement,” Hardie said. The total project in Sisters will cost about $1.4 million and will eventually include wider sidewalks and new crosswalks along Cascade Avenue, the main east/ west route through town. This grant will pay just for the Main Avenue work. The city also has an outstanding grant application for the work along Cascade. The work along Cascade is focused primarily on improving pedestrian safety, while the work on Main is mostly concerned with bike safety, according to Hardie. See ODOT / C5

East counties Farther east in Deschutes and Jefferson counties, and in most of Crook County, the winter storm warning began early this morning, and 4 inches to 8 inches of snow are expected at higher elevations within 24 hours, Adams said. Elevations of 4,500 feet or more above sea level can expect the most snow, while lower elevations in the area are forecast to receive 2 inches to 5 inches of snow. “We also are going to throw into the mix some gusty winds,” Adams said. “There will probably be some blowing snow and drifts.” Wind gusts could reach 30 mph.

The Oregon Court of Appeals reversed a state land use decision that blocked the Athletic Club of Bend, Inc. from constructing a second driveway on its property along Century Drive and adding a center median that would allow people to enter from the northbound or southbound lanes. City of Bend officials initially denied the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for the driveway in 2009, saying it violated a section of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development code. The state Land Use Board of Appeals upheld that decision after the Athletic Club requested to have it overturned. The basic argument of the Athletic Club was that when the property next to the driveway was first approved, the section of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development

code that was in affect at that time should be applied to the situation and not a portion of the code that had subsequently been updated. The State Court of Appeals agreed with the Athletic Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretation of state law in its ruling, which was filed Nov. 24.

Redmond clinic joins St. Charles system The Cascade Medical Clinic, a primary care clinic in Redmond, will become part of St. Charles Health System this week. It will change its name to St. Charles Family Care - Redmond. The change has been months in the making. Though many of the staff at the clinic were previously employed by the health system, the physicians will now become full-time employees of St. Charles.

The integration of the clinic into the health system represents a shift in the way St. Charles delivers health care. Its aim is to offer patients a full range of services, from primary care to inpatient stays, rather than concentrating on primarily inpatient and emergency care. Patients may see few changes, at least in the beginning. Prices will not change immediately though may go either up or down, said St. Charles CFO Karen Shepard, as they are aligned with the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pricing structure.

O Community college opens longhouse Terror suspect’s PORTLAND BOMBING ATTEMPT

Project took almost 20 years to complete

lawyers suggest FBI entrapment

By Greg Bolt The (Eugene) Register-Guard

By Bob Drogin and April Choi

EUGENE — A journey that took almost 20 years will reach its end on Friday, when Lane Community College officially opens the doors to its new longhouse. For those who have made the full trip, and even those who only have been along for the 4½ years since construction began, the $1.6 million building may prove that good things do indeed come to those who wait. “The whole thing is just absolutely beyond anybody’s imagination,” said Wilma Crowe, a Lakota elder who perhaps has waited longest for the new building. “It’s absolutely beautiful.” People will be able to make their own judgment Friday. The program begins with an open house at 10 a.m. and a grand opening ceremony at 11 a.m., followed by refreshments and tours. The longhouse is on LCC’s main campus on East 30th Avenue, just west of the new Health and Wellness Center.

“It feels like a sacred space. When you walk in the door, it just feels like a welcoming, safe, hospitable place.” — Mary Spilde, president, Lane Community College

Among the best The building’s long gestation period cost LCC the chance to have the first Native American longhouse at a community college in the nation, giving Peninsula College in Port Angeles, Wash., time to finish first. But with its open fir and cedar log beams, hand-hewn cedar planking and generous skylights, the 6,200-square-foot building stands among the best college longhouses in the country, school and tribal officials say. “It feels like a sacred space. When you walk in the door, it just feels like a welcoming, safe, hospitable place,” LCC President Mary Spilde said. The building’s centerpiece is its great room, a large open space framed by rough-hewn logs. Off that is the Hall of Honor, a small rotunda with a display case for each of the nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon. It also has a large kitchen for potlucks, ceremonies and other events, as well as two deep fryers outdoors for making fry bread. Outside is a water feature, a bricklined story circle and a long fire pit for traditional salmon smoking. Local elder Frank Merrill suggested the project in the early 1990s, and the college formally committed to it in 1995. But it wasn’t until 2002 that the LCC Board pledged $250,000 to get the project started, and groundbreaking didn’t happen until 2006. Raising money was a slow process, Spilde said, but another reason it took so long to build the longhouse was the traditional methods used in its construction.

Cedar planks were cut by hand using wood wedges and treebranch hammers; cedar logs used in roof beams were hand-peeled. The logs were cut from tribal lands in Oregon and donated by area tribes, and seven tribes made other gifts to the project as well. Overall, the college raised $470,000 in donations and in-kind gifts for the project. In addition to the $250,000 pledged by the college, LCC students have donated almost $600,000 through a $3-per-term fee approved in 2006 and renewed in 2009.

Ethnic studies That still leaves the college about $300,000 short. It will use money from its capital improvement budget to cover the gap, with the money being repaid from additional fundraising and the student fee. “I’m so proud of our students that they thought this was something they want to contribute to,” Spilde said. “Honestly, without the students doing that, it would have been very, very tough to get it done.”

The building will be used for LCC’s ethnic studies, Native American studies and American Indian language classes. It has modern teleconferencing and audio-visual equipment so it can share programs with tribal centers around the state. The longhouse also will be used for community events and native ceremonies. It will be on display this weekend when LCC hosts its annual powwow, which is one of the largest in the Northwest. LCC has 621 students who list themselves as American Indian. That’s almost three times as many as at the University of Oregon and one of the largest Native American enrollments at a community college in the country.

major factor. “The longhouse will provide that kind of connection to culture and learning,” Spilde said. “For all the others that will use the space, it introduces them or connects them to a culture that may be different than their own, and that understanding of different cultures is really key to being successful as part of a team, as part of a workplace, as part of a community.” Aside from that, Spilde said the building simply is a warm and attractive addition to campus. She said its wood tones and open design give it a different feeling from other buildings and make worth the wait. “It’s been a long road, but it was one worth walking,” she said. “When you walk in the door, it just feels like a welcome, safe, hospitable place.”

PORTLAND — Terrorism suspect Mohamed Osman Mohamud pleaded not guilty Monday to a federal charge of trying to explode a car bomb at a crowded holiday celebration last week in Portland, and his lawyers suggested that he was improperly entrapped by the FBI. The 19-year-old SomaliAmerican at the center of the latest case of alleged homegrown terrorism said, “Yes, your honor” in a soft tone when U.S. Magistrate Judge John Acosta asked if he understood his rights. Mohamud, who was shackled at the ankles, otherwise was silent during his first appearance in U.S. District Court in Portland. He sat slumped for part of the 15-minute hearing, and did not acknowledge his mother, Mariam Barre, his sister Mona, several former classmates, or other supporters who packed the courtroom. Stephen Sady, chief deputy federal public defender, complained to the judge that federal officials had given media interviews and a 36-page FBI affidavit “as a press release” to detail the alleged plot. The arrest, he said, was “obviously timed for maximum impact and maximum publicity.”

Sady also charged that undercover FBI agents were “basically grooming” Mohamud for months to commit a terrorist act. He said the FBI failed to record its first meeting with Mohamud, although all subsequent meetings were bugged. “In cases involving potential entrapment, it’s the first meeting that matters,” Sady said. “The first meeting was not recorded.” According to the FBI affidavit, the undercover FBI agent who had the first face-to-face meeting with Mohamud in a Portland hotel room last July 30 carried a concealed recording device, but the equipment failed “due to technical problems.” Under the law, a judge may rule that improper entrapment has occurred if law enforcement agents induce a suspect to commit a crime that he otherwise would be unlikely to commit. A defendant may be found not guilty if the government goes too far to orchestrate a crime. In this case, Sady said, the FBI “may have exceeded these limits.” Sady tendered the plea of not guilty to a charge of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. If convicted, Mohamud could face up to life in prison. Acosta set a tentative date of Feb. 1 for a 15-day jury trial.

Connect to culture Spilde said the longhouse is important because it offers Native American students a way to connect to their culture and provides a window to that culture for non-Indians. College enrollment among American Indians is one of the lowest of any ethnic group, and the difficulty of adjusting to college life is cited as a

ADA squabble is public’s business

n Nov. 24, two days before the traditional start of the holiday buying season, the Oregon Department of Transportation confirmed the wisdom of value shopping.

In response to a public records request, ODOT sent us a large number of communications — mostly emails — between its employees and those of the Bend Park & Recreation District. Before hitting up ODOT, we asked the park district to provide the same material. The district demanded more than $220 to comply. ODOT, a large and often-criticized state bureaucracy, charged us nothing. Zip. While we’re happy to have the documents we requested at the appropriate price, this episode highlights one of the biggest flaws in Oregon’s public records law. Government bodies may charge for the time their employees devote to records requests, effectively giving secretive bureaucracies the ability to hide what they’re up to. Before releasing the records we’d requested, the park district demanded compensation for a combined 4.5 hours of work by two employees, whose services cost the district $42.57 and $53.76 per hour. Worse, the Bend-La Pine School District has demanded nearly $2,000, most of it for staff time, before it will comply with a fundamentally similar request. Allowing government entities to control the flow of public information by charging exorbitant fees is a mistake, at least if you believe that state law should compel public bodies to operate transparently. Fortunately, the solution is as simple as it is necessary. In 2011, the Legislature should bar public agencies from charging for staff time devoted to public records requests. The public shouldn’t have to value shop for government openness. But what, you may wonder, was in the messages the park district didn’t want to release without a big pile of cash? They detail an occasionally snarky fight over a $79,000 grant, which the state approved, then shelved, before apparently relenting in early November. Much of the snarkiness stems from a dispute over the Americans with Disabilities Act. The district wants the money to help pay for a pedestrian bridge and improved trail access near the First Street rapids. The Oregon Transportation Commission approved the grant in April, but in July the head of ODOT’s public transit division told the district that the grant had been suspended, in part because the project “appears to be an extension of a recreation walkway, not compatible with ODOT design criteria for federally funded shared-use path projects.” To clarify that vague criticism, Sheila Lyons, the manager of ODOT’s pedestrian and bicycle program, wrote that she “raised the red flag” on the project. Why? Because, she argued in an e-mail, “I cannot believe Bend Parks is using pavers, especially in light of the issues the City and County have had over ADA (the Americans with Disabilities Act). We are increasingly nervous at ODOT about being sued.” Pavers, she said, provide “a lousy ride in a wheel-

We have no opinion on the relative merits of pavers and asphalt on park trails, but we believe very strongly that governmental debates about potential ADA lawsuits are a matter of significant public interest. chair and I have near zero confidence that they will be maintained to the smoothness required by ADA.” Meanwhile, the trail and bridge proposed by the district were too narrow to handle cyclists and pedestrians comfortably, according to Pat Fisher, ODOT’s transportation enhancement program manager. Both ought to be at least 10 feet wide, she said Monday, and the bridge initially was 8. Bruce Ronning, the park district’s director of planning and development, argued this summer in an e-mail that ODOT’s fear of an ADA lawsuit tied to pavers “is fatuous at best.” He emphasized the district’s “very strong working relationship with the local accessibility community” while acknowledging that “not all are wholly supportive of our extensive use of pavers for trails surfaces in our parks or on the river trail.” Still, “they have been accepting of them as a valid alternative” to asphalt and concrete. Since then, the district has made some changes to the project and to its grant proposal, according to district Planning Manager Steve Jorgensen. The bridge and trail sections eligible for the funds will be at least 10 feet wide. Meanwhile, those sections of trail that would have featured pavers will now be paved, though Jorgensen, too, dismisses the ADA implications. “Surface type is really not an issue,” he said Monday. “ODOT staff made that an issue.” Even ODOT’s Lyons acknowledges pavers occupy something of a gray area. They are “technically allowed under the ADA,” she says, but “it’s not universal design, in my opinion.” We have no opinion on the relative merits of pavers and asphalt on park trails, but we believe very strongly that governmental debates about potential ADA lawsuits are a matter of significant public interest. That’s especially true in Bend, where the city is struggling to honor an ADA settlement requiring the reconstruction of hundreds of curb ramps. Should the park district run into legal problems arising from its extensive use of pavers — however unlikely that might be — local taxpayers will have to pick up the tab. So why in the world would the park district charge an exorbitant fee for access to the debate? More importantly, why in the world would lawmakers continue to allow governments to charge for staff time?

GOP must be prepared to compromise WASHINGTON — n American revolutions, power generally flows to moderate revolutionaries. Sam Adams may get things started, but it is John who gets things done. With more than 80 freshmen House Republicans ready to demolish the Capitol but unable to find its washrooms, influence will shift to leaders (think Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and Tom Price) who possess both tea party credibility and governing experience. Their mix of boldness and discretion will determine much about the outcome of the conservative uprising of 2010. They have a serious, intricate plan — in which much can go wrong. First, House Republicans will produce a shock-and-awe budget, rolling back federal spending to 2008 levels — undoing a 24 percent increase in discretionary spending. Ryan will set the overall targets. Appropriators will abandon scalpels for cleavers. The goal is reset the political clock — to produce a preObama budget. Given the tightness of the budget squeeze, many interest groups will squeal, and some of the squealing will be justified. But the stakes of this Republican exercise are relatively low. There is no chance a House Republican budget would be approved by the Senate or signed by President Obama. The purpose is to indicate Republican seriousness to tea party voters and to dramatize the large expansion of government during the short Obama era. The likely outcome of a budget conflict with Democrats is a continuing resolution freezing federal spending at 2010 levels, perhaps with a small, across-the-board reduction. Second, House Republicans will pursue a broad offensive against Obama’s

MICHAEL GERSON health care reform. Given the election outcome and public polling on the issue, Republicans are feeling no fear or hesitance. The House will vote for repeal — which, once again, will go nowhere with the Senate or the president. So Republicans will try to block funding for the implementation of health care reform. And they are planning a series of highprofile oversight hearings to highlight the current and likely effects of Obamacare: premium increases, new burdens on state budgets and a higher-than-expected “dumping rate” as employers push their workers into the public health system. The objective here is to make the case for eventual repeal before most of the public subsidies go into effect in 2014, which would entrench the system. Third, some House leaders want to begin laying the foundation for entitlement reform, since large, unfunded entitlement commitments are the main cause of the American fiscal crisis. But this approach splits the Republican conference, with some members asserting it is premature and politically damaging. Even supporters of raising the issue think in incremental terms. While America may have the Greek economic disease, the worst symptoms are not immediate. “We are not at the austerity stage yet,” one House member told me. “We still have time to change on our own terms.” The hope of entitlementreform advocates is to spend two years preparing the public — demonstrating that scaling back benefits is possible

without removing the safety net, building alliances with centrist Democrats and ensuring that the 2012 Republican presidential candidate is supportive. To some Americans, this agenda will seem ambitious. To others, it may seem frightening. But House leaders believe their main risk is appearing too timid to their own members. Even if this threepart strategy proceeds with efficiency and success, in two years it will result in a budget freeze, an unsuccessful guerrilla campaign against health reform, and the bare beginnings of the entitlement debate. Will tea party revolutionaries view this as victory? Will they be tempted by the Ross Perot option — a third-party movement that would increase the odds of Obama’s re-election? One test of Republican strategy will come early. At some point from March to May, the federal government will require the authority to borrow more money. House Republican leaders will try to use a vote on increasing the debt limit to secure concessions from the Obama administration. But some newly elected Republicans may oppose increasing the limit under any circumstances. What tea party candidate was elected to add to the debt? The problem is, as one House Republican told me, “If we don’t raise the limit, we are Argentina.” So would John Boehner, the likely new speaker, be forced to go to House Democrats for support? How would that play among the Sam Adamses of the revolution, already suspicious of Boehner as an “establishment” figure? There are always compromises in governing. But they are harder to make when one element of a political coalition views compromise itself as the problem. Michael Gerson is a member of The Washington Post Writers Group.

Developers should not have final say in city planning By James Hallman Bulletin guest columnist

hat are our city planners doing? For five years and a reported $4 million the planners are trying to expand the urban growth boundary. To which, and rightly so, the Oregon Land Conservation Development Commission keeps telling them “no.” Some aspects of the plan make sense; much doesn’t. The portion that grabs my attention is nothing new to Bend. The LCDC would love to see evidence why the city needs to develop into areas which now are zoned for rural and lowdensity uses. I find that very interesting. The planners also have the DMV-RiverRim fiasco ongoing. The area where RiverRim and Brookswood Meadow Plaza (C.E. Lovejoy’s Market) was at one time also zoned rural; low-density less than a decade ago. I owned property in the area. My children went to school at Elk Meadow Elementary. I hunted birds in what used to be Elk Meadow, now the

RiverRim developed area. The developers went to the city and requested a zoning change so they could make a larger profit by jamming in as many houses as imaginable! Houses are now so close together if you needed to borrow some toothpaste you could just reach into your neighbor’s bathroom window and grab it yourself! The city, through our land-use laws, informed developers they needed to leave a percentage of natural area and OK’d a commercial zone. Five acres or so of commercial area and another five acres or so natural area. Keep in mind, Brookswood at the time ended at the irrigation canal. Powers Road ended at Brookswood. There were very few houses west of Brookswood. I and a few other property owners attended a couple of the city meetings regarding the zoning change request. We were told at the time city planners performed an extensive study including traffic increase, added burden on

IN MY VIEW emergency services, etc., everything you’d think they’d look into before a zoning change. We were told that there would be absolutely no increase in traffic! Then the speaker got all excited and told us the added revenue would allow the city to connect Brookswood to Bond Street! Our commute time to downtown would be cut in half! Oh, joy! And … the Old Mill District was booming! We too would now be able to share in this wonderful experience, not just the westsiders and downtowners! I didn’t share in the speaker’s excitement. I knew that night the deal was done. We were just being “tucked in.” The reason I bought rural property was just that. I wanted to be in a rural area and still close to town. I never had trouble finding downtown before, and I still don’t shop much in the Old Mill District. But I do know where it is and how

to get there! This entire DMV/RiverRim boondoggle is just plain silly. City planners have “proven” once already there is no additional traffic on Brookswood. With the canal bridge the entire west side is just a short jaunt away. I read people are perplexed as to why the DMV would move to the farthest most southern edge of Bend. The DMV isn’t here just for the citizens of Bend. Quite a few, thousands perhaps, fine Oregonians live in Deschutes River Woods and the surrounding southern part of Deschutes County that commute to Bend on a daily basis. I know there’s a DMV in La Pine, but why drive there if you don’t have to? Nothing against La Pine, but fuel is expensive. I trust in the DMV’s decision to move to where it will (Brookswood Meadow Plaza). I understand it looked into several other locations in Bend. I like the idea it thought it through enough to understand many of the folks using the DMV will be taking a driving test. Many

of those will be youngsters driving for the first time, with a government official watching their every move, added pressure. It’s just common sense it should start the test on a less-traveled road. OK, I’ll wrap this up. Times are tough, we need to keep a count of our pennies a little better. Bend planners have spent millions of dollars and years of work on the UGB expansion. I understand this is required by the state. I believe our planners need to do the right thing. Take the state’s advice; let’s finish this. Developers shouldn’t run this town. The DMV is moving into the best office suite it could find. It checked into it. City planners OK’d the use years ago with many of us not very happy about it. We got over it. RiverRim folks, you knew what you were buying when you bought it. Nobody came around this goround looking for a zoning change. You already played that card! James Hallman lives in Bend.

LOS ANGELES — Irvin Kershner, a versatile movie director best known for “The Empire Strikes Back,” the acclaimed 1980 sequel to George Lucas’ blockbuster “Star Wars,” has died. He was 87. Kershner, who taught screenwriting at the University of Southern California in more recent years, died Saturday at his home in Los Angeles after a 3½-year battle with lung cancer, his family said. A former documentarian whose more than 40-year career included work in television, Kershner earned his first credit as a feature film director for the low-budget 1958 crime drama “Stakeout on Dope Street.” He went on to direct 14 other feature films, including “The Hoodlum Priest,” “The Luck of Ginger Coffey,” “A Fine Madness,” “The Flim-Flam Man,” “Loving,” “Up the Sandbox,” “The Return of a Man Called Horse,” “Eyes of Laura Mars,” the James Bond film “Never Say Never Again” and “RoboCop 2.” Kershner considered it “a freak of fate” that he is best known for “The Empire Strikes Back,” which many consider to be the best installment of the popular “Star Wars” film series.

ASCOCC Continued from C1 College Relations Director Ron Paradis said the issue came to the college’s attention when student government members approached college officials, curious about the board’s ratification of its student fee policy. “In doing research, we discovered we hadn’t ratified those things, and then in doing our research we realized those were things that should have been taken care of and hadn’t been,” Paradis said. “The relationship has always been very broad as far as what decisions those in student government have been allowed to make.” College officials believed that relationship should be better defined. The student government on Oct. 13 hired Miller Nash LLP attorney Greg Lynch as an advocate, and has also employed India Simmons, a local public relations specialist. ASCOCC member Brenda Pierce said Lynch is paid $295 per hour out of student fee funds, and that Simmons will also be paid with student fee money. ASCOCC members declined to comment without seeing the emails, and Lynch did not return calls for comment. But nearly a month before Lynch was hired by ASCOCC, the e-mails were already flying about how to handle a potential conflict with the student government. On Sept. 14, COCC President Jim Middleton e-mailed with board president Charley Miller about ASCOCC’s interactions with Simmons. Simmons had contacted Miller about ASCOCC’s desire to define

“I knew one thing for sure: I didn’t want to direct the second movie myself. I needed someone I could trust, someone I really admired and whose work had maturity and humor. That was Kersh all over.” — George Lucas, director “When George approached me, at first I wouldn’t agree,” Kershner told the Commercial Appeal, a Memphis newspaper, in 1997. “I didn’t want to follow a picture like ‘Star Wars,’ because what could I do that was different? But George said, ‘I want to make a picture that is better than the first one. Because if the second one is not successful, that kills the whole series.’ ” It took him nearly three years to make “The Empire Strikes Back,” Kershner said. “I really knocked myself out,” he said. “I was able to go deeper into the characterization. I was doing the second act of a three-

the boundaries of its relationship with the college; Miller forwarded the e-mail to Middleton, who told Miller to be careful about getting involved. “As a PR person, India is certainly aware how things could blow up in (the students’) faces if they head down a path where there is reality or appearance of legal, ethical or stewardship problems,” Middleton wrote.

2 recommendations On Sept. 24, Dean of Student and Enrollment Services Alicia Moore sent a draft recommendation of possible next steps the college could take in dealing with ASCOCC, based on conversations with an attorney. The recommendation included two options: bring ASCOCC into compliance with the college’s expectations or stop recognizing ASCOCC as a college organization. “The intent is to offer student government an opportunity to clean up their current situation and begin a more productive, less combative relationship with the college,” Moore wrote. “If they do not want to comply with these minimum requirements, we will then move to Option B.” Under the first option, Moore said ASCOCC and COCC would have to rewrite the constitution, begin operating under current bylaws, update all job descriptions, write a fiscal policy, comply with open records law, and work with Moore to develop a resolution where the board ratified student fees and the ASCOCC constitution. “In addition to the above, ASCOCC will no longer have a college credit card, their checking accounts will be reduced to $1,000, and petty cash will be

act play, or the second movement of a symphony. That’s always the slower movement. I could not have a grand climax, I had to leave things ambiguous. My big climax came at the beginning of the film, with the battle in the snow, then I told the story of the people.” Lucas, who attended Kershner’s lectures at USC when he was a film student in the 1960s, said he “considered him a mentor.” After “Star Wars,” Lucas said, “I knew one thing for sure: I didn’t want to direct the second movie myself. I needed someone I could trust, someone I really admired and whose work had maturity and humor. That was Kersh all over. I didn’t want ‘Empire’ to turn into just another sequel, another episode in a series of space adventures. I was trying to build something, and I knew Kersh was the guy to help me do it.” In 1970, film critic Pauline Kael described Kershner as a director “who has been on the verge of broad recognition for over a decade.” Born in Philadelphia on April 29, 1923, Kershner studied at the Settlement Music School in Philadelphia before serving in the Army Air Forces as a flight engineer on B-24 bombers during World War II.

maintained under current College policies and practices,” she wrote. The other option, Moore wrote, would include putting together a campuswide task force to create a new student government and constitution while still running the programs ASCOCC operates; ASCOCC students would be encouraged to apply. A temporary student fee committee would review requests for funds and a severance for current ASCOCC members would be considered. “That’s not something we are considering at this point,” Paradis said. “The purpose of these meetings is to get to a point that both ASCOCC and the college is comfortable with their relationship. And we believe we’re both going to get there.” Some of the e-mails concern how to deal with the student newspaper The Broadside, which had requested a series of financial documents from ASCOCC and felt the public records requests were being ignored.

‘ASCOCC is not happy’ On Oct. 8, as administrators and student government members grappled with who should release those records, Student Activities Coordinator Taran Underdal told college officials ASCOCC was not likely to comply with the requests. “ASCOCC is not happy about (the) possibility of COCC releasing their financial information. They have scheduled a meeting with an attorney and plan to file an injunction preventing this,” Underdal wrote to Moore. That never happened; ASCOCC turned over records to both The Broadside and The Bulletin. But college officials now knew the student government

ODOT Continued from C1 The city will match the state grant with a 10 percent local contribution from the street or general funds, or with urban renewal money. In Bend, the project is a section of an envisioned bike corridor reaching from Mt. Washington Drive east to Third Street. The nearly $650,000 award will cover much of the nearly $1 million cost of work along Northwest Riverside Boulevard, as it curves along Drake Park, between Tumalo Avenue and Broadway Street. Bend will pay its match with money from system development charges. The city will improve crosswalks at Riverside’s intersections with Tumalo, Kansas Avenue and Broadway. At each intersection, the sidewalk will bulge into what is now the roadway, which is designed to

was working with a lawyer, and that seems to have ramped up their concerns. The day after ASCOCC hired Lynch, the college put a stop payment on three outstanding ASCOCC checks pre-signed by their previous adviser so that any checks would have to be approved by Underdal, ASCOCC’s current adviser.

Executive session According to an e-mail exchange between Middleton and Moore, the board then met in an executive session to discuss the ASCOCC issue. Executive sessions are not open to the public; members of the media can attend but cannot report on what happens in them unless the information is brought up outside of the session. In those e-mails, Moore asked Middleton whether it would make sense to limit ASCOCC’s access to funds because of “recent poor/ inappropriate fiscal decisions.” She also noted the board had discussed in executive session whether attorney expenses could be paid for with student fees.

make pedestrians more visible to drivers in the busy area, according to Nick Arnis, manager of Bend’s transportation department. “The idea is to make these crossings more rational so everyone knows where everybody is,” Arnis said. On both sides of the street there will also be new bike lanes, Arnis said. The city has already met with property owners along that stretch and Arnis expects to hold more meetings over the next year or so as the city finalizes designs. Arnis estimated the project will not begin for a couple years. Still, he’s optimistic the work will make the area safer for both pedestrians and bicyclists. “It’s going to be a really good project,” he said.

Moore wrote that University of Oregon students had tried to use student fee money to pay for attorney fees, and the attorney general had ruled they could not. Middleton, who at the time was on vacation, told Moore to wait on taking action. “These events have helped define where clearer policy frameworks are needed. We should focus attention on creating that policy framework,” he wrote. “There should be a clear separation between actions which are ‘clamping down’ and those that are putting action in line with law or policy. I am willing to have some flexibility until policy is clarified and ensure (that) our actions are in no way a response to what feels like bad behavior on their part.” For now, the negotiations between ASCOCC and COCC are in limbo as students prepare for finals. But Paradis said the college is hopeful the issue will be wrapped up by the middle of winter term. Sheila G. Miller can be reached at 541-617-7831 or at smiller@bendbulletin.com.

Contract Continued from C1 The term of the contract extends to June 30, 2015. Flaherty said Monday evening that he had reviewed the contract and does not believe it will prevent him from making decisions about whether to reappoint deputy district attorneys when he takes office. Yet he said it seems that county officials are rushing to vote on the contract before he takes office, and he questioned why they are doing that. “I don’t think it’s fair to the people of Deschutes County, the voters, to try to bind a newly elected official on such critical matters as who his or her professional staff will be,” Flaherty said. County commissioners decided Monday to schedule the hearing for 10 a.m. on Dec. 8, after the newly formed Deschutes County District Attorneys Association voted to approve the contract Nov. 24, association President Jody Vaughan said

there is a blizzard warning on Interstate 84 in the La Grande area. “We’re expecting high winds (there),” Adams said. “It’s going to make it almost a white-out in some areas.”

during bargaining meetings that they are concerned Flaherty will make decisions about his staff before working with them and assessing their job performance. Flaherty, who will take office in January, defeated longtime District Attorney Mike Dugan in the May election. In August, Flaherty notified one chief deputy district attorney, who is not a union member, that he will not be employed once Dugan leaves office. Then in October, Flaherty sent an email to 15 current deputy district attorneys, informing them that they need to reapply for their jobs if they want to keep them. Deschutes County commissioners said during a Monday afternoon meeting that they want to meet with Flaherty to discuss the contract before they vote, either on Dec. 6 or Dec. 8. So far, they have been unable to agree upon a date.

The union’s Eugene-based attorney, Becky Gallagher, could not be reached for comment.

NYC no longer mecca of basketball New York City, the home of modern hoops, has suffered as the game has gone global By Jesse Washington The Associated Press

NEW YORK — This is the city where modern basketball was created. It’s where the game became art, where Bob Cousy put the ball on a string and Kareem AbdulJabbar took his first giant steps, where players from Allen Iverson to Kobe Bryant made a pilgrimage to Rucker Park. Yet when the nation’s best high school players gathered last summer for the Elite 24 game, no New Yorkers were on the court. When the votes were tallied for this year’s AP college preseason All-America team, only one of 27 players was from the city. In the NBA, the number of players from city high schools is at a modern low.

BASKETBALL New York City basketball just isn’t what it used to be — and that’s not even counting the Knicks. “Memphis, Atlanta, Baltimore, D.C., Chicago, they’re all producing better players than New York right now,” says Jerry Meyer, national recruiting analyst for Rivals.com. Custodians of New York’s hoop legacy have several explanations. New York’s revolutionary style of play went global, they say. The Internet illuminates the talents of youngsters everywhere. There are more opportunities for city kids to leave for better schools, more summer-league coaches looking to make their own mark, more hype before the kids even hit their teens. Which adds up to fewer stars from the place called by some “the mecca of basketball.” See NYC / D4

COLLEGE ATH LE TICS Big East Conference adding TCU sports for 2012 season FORT WORTH, Texas — TCU is getting out of future debates about whether the Horned Frogs deserve to be in a BCS game. They are joining a league with automatic access. The Frogs won’t have to be a BCS buster when they move to the Big East Conference, starting with the 2012 season. Win their new league and they will be guaranteed a spot in one of the big-money games. In the latest restructuring of the college football landscape, TCU’s board of trustees unanimously approved an invitation Monday to join the Big East in football and all other sports. The move from the Mountain West Conference becomes official July 1, 2012. TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte said gaining automatic-qualifying status “was a big factor” in the move and gives the Horned Frogs “the greatest opportunity to compete for the national championship.” The Big East, currently with eight football teams, has one of six automatic BCS slots. “Access got easier, not the road,” said Frogs coach Gary Patterson, whose thirdranked Frogs (12-0) wrapped up their second consecutive undefeated regular season and Mountain West title with a 66-17 win at New Mexico on Saturday. — The Associated Press

Have a ball with bowling Sport provides a viable recreation option during the long winter months By Amanda Miles The Bulletin

As the calendar flips to December, daylight is in short supply and the snowflakes are starting to fall. Perhaps all of that is enough for you to invoke personal pledges to never recreate outdoors unless the temperature rises above freezing. If so — and if you also tend not to be the yoga/treadmill/elliptical/weightlifting type — you could be in for a long La Niña winter. Which means you need something else to do.

Maybe it’s time to give bowling some consideration. After all, the sport is relatively inexpensive, it’s social in nature, and no matter where you live in Central Oregon, a bowling alley is a fairly short drive away. And many of the region’s bowling facilities offer a lot more than just rows of lanes and pins to knock down with brightly colored bowling balls. In fact, with so many entertainment options to be found in one place, the term “bowling alley” has fallen out of favor. “They’re actually not even called ‘bowling alleys’ anymore,” says Amy Mombert, owner and manager of Lava Lanes in east Bend. “They’re called ‘bowling centers,’ because they encompass so many other things now.”

same price as going to see a movie at the theater. “For your time versus how much it costs you, it actually is really cheap,” Mombert says. And if you are cost-conscious or just want a bargain, you can often find some good deals. For example, Sun Mountain recently offered a special for $2 games on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. And at Madras Bowl, shoe rentals and the first game are free with the purchase of a giant pizza, which costs about $20 to $25. Mombert says she continually tries to come up with new ideas for specials and coupons, which she changes every couple of months or so. She offers coupons on the bowling center’s website and on the backs of Fred Meyer store receipts. See Bowling / D5

Depending on where you go, you can play arcade and lottery games, and you can eat, drink and be merry year-round and not just during the holidays. Bend boasts two bowling centers — Sun Mountain Fun Center in north Bend being the other — and Prineville (Rimrock Lanes), Madras (Madras Bowl) and La Pine (La Pine Bowling Center) each is home to a bowling facility. For bowlers, prices for shoes and games vary depending on the location, but shoe rentals cost no more than $3 and games no more than $3.75 (per game) at any of the Central Oregon facilities. So at about $10 dollars per person, you can bowl a couple of games — which will take an hour or two — for about the

NEW YORK — All the close finishes and individual heroics in Week 12 of the NFL season were overshadowed by fighting, filming and fouling. Even on a holiday weekend featuring marquee matchups of playoff contenders and division leaders, the focus wound up on Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan slugging away in Houston, Spygate II involving the Denver Broncos, and Steelers linebacker James Harrison being flagged for yet another illegal hit. Sometimes it seems as if pinpoint passing by Tom Brady, dynamic defense by Brian Urlacher and powerful runs by Peyton Hillis — all stars in their teams’ latest wins — aren’t

NFL juicy enough to keep attention on the game. Not, at least, when there is mayhem and cheating on the menu. The NFL has had its share of salacious scandal (Brett Favre, Ben Roethlisberger), hefty fines for helmet hits (Harrison, Brandon Meriweather) and labor unrest this year. It’s also had a collection of edge-ofyour-seat endings that continued with the Saints’ rally past Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, the Falcons’ decisive march against Green Bay, and the Steelers’ nail-biting victory at Buffalo. Yet the airwaves get filled with the fisticuffs between Texans receiver Johnson and Titans cornerback

S B Soccer • Holder to lobby FIFA on behalf of U.S. World Cup bid: U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will join former President Bill Clinton and Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman on Wednesday at the final presentation to FIFA’s executive committee of the U.S. bid to host the 2022 World Cup. Holder also will meet with executive committee members, who will vote the following day. American bidders said Monday that U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati and American national team star Landon Donovan also will take part in the 30-minute presentation. • U.S. draws North Korea, Colombia, Sweden for World Cup: And the U.S. thought it was rough getting to the Women’s World Cup. The two-time world champions wound up with what could be the toughest group at next summer’s tournament, drawing North Korea, Colombia and Sweden in Group C on Monday. Sweden is No. 4 in the latest world rankings while North Korea is sixth.

Football • Bears fan’s death ruled accident, not suicide: The Cook County medical examiner’s office has ruled the death of a man who fell from a stadium concourse during halftime of Sunday’s Bears-Eagles game an accident, not a suicide. A Monday autopsy showed that 23-year-old Stewart Haverty of Woodstock died of multiple injuries. Police say Haverty fell more than 35 feet from a Soldier Field concourse onto the roof of a stadium storage building. • Injured former player sues NFL pension plan: A former running back for the Washington Redskins and Carolina Panthers is suing the NFL’s pension plan, saying he should receive the highest level of disability benefits because of injuries from a helmet-to-helmet hit that ended his career. The complaint filed on behalf of Eric Shelton in U.S. District Court in Baltimore on Monday asks that he receive nearly $225,000 a year in pension benefits instead of about $110,000 that he was awarded in August after going through an appeals process. The Redskins declined to comment. • Boise State kicker becomes target of threats, barbs: Dealing with missing two field goals in Boise State’s loss to Nevada is difficult enough. Now Boise State kicker Kyle Brotzman is having to endure threats and an endless dose of taunts and barbs on social networking sites. Brotzman missed a game-winner at the end of regulation then a short attempt in overtime in the Broncos’ 34-31 loss Friday night. Within hours of the loss, police got reports about angry fans leaving threatening telephone messages with a person thought to be with the Brotzman family.

Star scores twice as Dallas beats Carolina The Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. — Emboldened by their recent success, the Dallas Stars certainly look like a team that belongs in first place. James Neal scored twice and Kari Lehtonen made 27 saves to lift the surging Stars to a 4-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night. Jamie Benn had a goal and an assist while Steve Ott had the other goal for the Stars, who have won four in a row. They’ve earned points in seven of their last eight games to move into first place in the Pacific Division. “I think tonight we played with more confidence than we had all year,” Adam Burish said. It was Dallas’ second win ever in Raleigh. The Stars weren’t expected to contend for the Pacific Division crown, but Dallas players said back-to-back wins over St. Louis last weekend gave the team a new wealth of confidence. “The most satisfying thing was that it was a total team effort from us,” Dallas coach Marc

NHL ROUNDUP Crawford said. Eric Staal scored his third goal in his last four games and Cam Ward stopped 29 shots for Carolina, which was playing its fourth game in six nights. “We’ve done a pretty (darn) good job of staying in the fight, but at some point we have to get above that and get beyond treading water,” coach Paul Maurice said of his Hurricanes, who fell below .500. The Stars’ five previous wins were all by one goal, but a strong opening 25 minutes gave Dallas more of a cushion. The Stars opened the scoring in the first period courtesy of a clever wrist shot by Neal. After a turnover at the Hurricanes’ blue line, Loui Eriksson collected the puck behind the Carolina net and fed Neal, who was to Ward’s left. Neal quickly snapped the puck above Ward’s shoulder.

No. 2 Auburn thrives on living dangerously By John Zenor The Associated Press

By Howard Fendrich

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — It’s not so hard to put Auburn in a hole. Keeping the second-ranked Tigers there is much more troublesome. Unbeaten Auburn has had to climb back from sizable deficits, including once against No. 18 South Carolina, which couldn’t hang onto a 13point lead. The Tigers would like a better start against the Gamecocks Saturday and not live on the edge with the Southeastern Conference championship — and a shot at the national title — on the line. “We tell them every week, there’s storms that you’re going to have to weather every game,” Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. “We told them that going into the Alabama game there’s going to be a storm in this game that could be pretty violent and we’re going to have to weather that storm. They hear that and they understand that.” The causes of the early troubles are plentiful: A vulnerable secondary busts coverages. An explosive offense sputters for a bit. Or maybe, linebacker Josh Bynes said, the Tigers just don’t open in the right frame of mind. “The only thing different between the first half and second half (is) our feet are on the ground, our mind-set is ready,” Bynes said. The Tigers trailed South Carolina 20-7 late in the second quarter on Sept. 25, but forced four turnovers and scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. That 35-27 win was just one of eight come-from-behind victories for Auburn this season, half of them after trailing by double digits. They rallied from a schoolAuburn QB record 24 points against Cam Newton Alabama. Chizik and the Tigers say they need to avoid another slow start against the Gamecocks, who can score quickly with receiver Alshon Jeffery and tailback Marcus Lattimore. However, Auburn’s resilience is a big reason the Tigers are one win from playing for a national title, maybe the biggest besides quarterback Cam Newton. “I’ve never quite been around any group of guys that has that resolve and the ability to do that week in and week out,” Chizik said. “I’ve never really seen it done this many times.” He credits defensive coordinator Ted Roof for making the right halftime adjustments, but also said the players eliminate mental errors like busted coverages in the second half. Safety Zac Etheridge doesn’t think Auburn’s defense should be judged by the numbers. “We get tired of hearing about the secondary not playing as well but when you look at it, with the game on the line, we get the job done,” Etheridge said. “So we don’t really go into statistics. We just play the game until the last seconds tick off the clock.” Then again, Auburn would rather not have the Jekyll-and-Hyde performances at all. It would certainly have made life a little less stressful against teams like Clemson and Georgia, not to mention the Gamecocks and Crimson Tide. Or Mississippi State, Kentucky, LSU and Arkansas. Some may question whether they are the best team in the country, but they’re almost certainly the most accustomed to living on the edge. It has become a badge of honor for the Tigers, who have three-point wins over Mississippi State, Kentucky and Clemson. “That’s how we’ve been doing games all year, finishing and coming out and knowing in the second half, regardless of what the scoreboard says, we’ll come back and win,” Bynes said. “That’s always on our mind, winning.” South Carolina fullback/tight end Patrick DiMarco remembers a different Auburn defense coming out of the locker room after halftime. “They came out really intense in the second half, putting the pressure on us,” DiMarco said. “We tried to move the ball, tried to run the ball, and get the clock going and everything. But we couldn’t do it.” The Tigers have won their first 12 games in spite of lapses by their defense, which is mostly devoid of stars other than defensive tackle Nick Fairley. But they’ve managed to adjust when the game’s on the line. “I think their defense rises to the occasion when they need to,” Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier said. “They’ve obviously given up some yards and some points here and there, but their offense has been so good that they’re in the game.” It helps having a playmaking quarterback like Newton, who’s a threat to run or pass for a touchdown at any time. And a fast-paced, explosive offense that starts sluggish at times but has been hard to stop when they can get the tempo going. But give the maligned defense some credit, too. Sure, the secondary is vulnerable. The Tigers rank 58th nationally in total defense and 106th against the pass. Eight of the last 10 SEC champions have ranked in the top 20 nationally in yards allowed, with only LSU (75th in 2001) lower than Auburn’s current standing. However, they get better as the game wears on. After giving up 335 first-half passing yards to Alabama’s Greg McElroy, Auburn limited the Tide to 67 total yards after that (and 0 for 8 on third-down conversions) in the 28-27 victory. The Tigers have allowed a descending number of points in each quarter: From 110 in the first to 45 in the fourth. “If we play the first two quarters like we do the last two,” Bynes said, “we’d probably be one of the more dominant defenses in the nation.”

49ers send Cardinals to sixth straight loss By Bob Baum The Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Brian Westbrook’s big games weren’t all in his rearview mirror after all. The 31-year-old running back rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown in place of the injured Frank Gore and the San Francisco 49ers sent punchless Arizona to its sixth straight loss, 27-6 Monday night in a shower of boos from the Cardinals home crowd. Westbrook, who had 9 yards on five carries all season, ran 23 times in his 21st career 100-yard game, but first since Dec. 7, 2008, for Philadelphia against the New York Giants. San Francisco (4-7), beaten at home by Tampa Bay 21-0 last week, improved to 3-1 since Troy Smith became starting quarterback and pulled within a game of co-leaders St. Louis and Seattle in the anemic NFC West. Arizona (3-8), two-time defending division champion, has not lost this many in a row since dropping eight straight in 2006, Dennis Green’s final season as coach. The 49ers rushed for 261 yards, by far their season high and the most allowed by the Cardinals this season. Westbrook, who led the league in rushing in 2007, was

released a year ago after eight, often-spectacular seasons with Philadelphia, a move caused by a combination of his age and injury history as well as the $7.5 million he would have been due this season. He signed with San Francisco on Aug. 16, but had hardly played at all until Gore went down on Monday. “I just kind of bided my time, tried to stay fresh, tried to stay focused,” Westbrook said, “and when I got my opportunity, make the most of it.” He was able to show what he still can do. “I think we have a lot of young guys, some of them have seen some of the things I’ve been able to do over the course of my career, some of them just don’t know,” Westbrook said. “They just see a guy running around the practice field. For me it meant a lot to have an opportunity to go out there and play and have an opportunity to have success.” The Arizona defense did not provide much resistance as San Francisco pushed around the home team at the line of scrimmage from the start. Gore injured a hip in the first quarter and briefly tried to come back before going out for good in the second period. He had 25 and 15 yards in his first two carries, a sign of things

to come against an Arizona defense that entered the game last in the league in points allowed. Smith didn’t need to pass much, completing 11 of 23 for 129 yards with one touchdown and an interception. San Francisco, a team that has not scored more than 24 points in a game all season, led 21-6 at the half. The 49ers hadn’t scored that many by halftime in two years. The Cardinals committed their 27th turnover of the season on their first play from scrimmage when Derek Anderson and Beanie Wells botched a handoff and Aubrayo Franklin recovered for San Francisco. On the next play, Smith threw 38 yards to Michael Crabtree for the touchdown, the receiver making a diving catch in the end zone. Wells gained a measure of redemption on the next possession. Playing as a wideout to the right, he caught a 43-yard pass from Anderson but a season-long red zone problem continued and Jay Feely’s 31-yard field goal made it 7-3. Ted Ginn Jr. had a kickoff return of 41 yards and a punt return for 42, both leading to San Francisco touchdowns. The 49ers went 55 yards in 10 plays after the kickoff, Anthony Dixon leaping over from the 1yard line to make it 14-3 with 29 seconds to go in the first.

Let others think what they want. Roger Federer considers his 2010 “a very successful season,” one that began with an Australian Open championship and ended with a victory over rival Rafael Nadal for the title at the ATP World Tour Finals in London. “Every time people write me off — or try to write me off — I’m able to bounce back,” Federer said Monday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press while waiting to board a flight to leave England. The 16-time Grand Slam champion acknowledged that Nadal was “supreme” this year, winning three major titles and returning to the No. 1 ranking. But Federer also noted that he was pleased to overcome a midseason dip — quarterfinal exits at the French Open and Wimbledon — and finish strongly. Those losses to Robin Soderling at Roland Garros, then Tomas Berdych at the All England Club, came after Federer had reached at least the semifinals at a record 23 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments. Then again, Federer chuckled at the notion that he only played well at very beginning and very end of 2010. “It almost makes it feel or sound like I played horrible through the summer or I didn’t play at all. That’s not the way it was. I grinded it out. I played and I played and I played, and I tried, and I had some really good matches,” he said. “And then I did have some tough losses, and some guys played better than me, and the next thing you know, half the season is gone. But I really felt like I had some amazing weeks.” The setbacks at the French Open and Wimbledon also brought back the sort of whispers Federer has heard before when he went through brief periods of suddenly not winning everything in sight. He doesn’t let that bother him. He’s used to the way perceptions can change. “I’m not angry. As an athlete ... you should be open to criticism, and you’re allowed to be criticized, because not everybody has the same opinion, not everybody likes the same players,” said Federer, who dropped to No. 3 in the rankings after Wimbledon but will end the year at No. 2. “The rankings are quite volatile: Today you’re ‘great,’ tomorrow you’re ‘not,’ but then you’re ‘great’ again. It makes for great stories,” he continued. “Now, I always look at the long term and by doing that, obviously, I can stay calm through the storm. And I think that’s what I’ve been able to do so many times.” He went 5-0 and won 10 of the 11 sets he played at the season-ending tournament in London, capping it with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 win over Nadal on Sunday. “It’s special to have the last match of the season against Rafa, because maybe you can enjoy it more instead of just running to the next tournament and playing another match,” Federer said. “This one’s going to carry me all the way to next season, which is kind of nice.” The two best players in the world went 1-1 against each other in 2010; Nadal leads their career series 14-8. “When he’s playing well,” Nadal said, “(it’s) difficult to find solutions.” After Sunday’s match, Federer said he went through something of a crisis of confidence during the season. In Monday’s interview, he clarified that he thought that dip was a result of not playing enough matches, in part because he missed time with a lung infection. Federer credited Swiss Davis Cup captain Severin Luthi and new coach Paul Annacone with helping to get things going in the right direction late in the year. “Sure, I had some tough losses, and maybe I didn’t win two or three Slams, like I did in other seasons,” Federer said. “Rafa was supreme, and he deserves to be No. 1, but my season still was a good — or a very good — one, and I’m happy with the way I played.” Now comes a chance to rest and reflect for the 29-year-old Federer. He will take about a week’s vacation, then resume practicing in earnest for next year in mid-December. Federer and Nadal will play each other in exhibition matches Dec. 21-22, raising money for their charitable foundations. Federer will start off the 2011 Grand Slam season in January as the defending champion in Australia. But during his time off, Federer will not pick up a racket. “During vacation, I don’t hit,” Federer explained. Then he paused and added: “Except if Mirka, my wife, wants to go for a hit, then I’ll go. She’s the only person who can get me out on the tennis court.”

NYC Continued from D1 “The game has just become democratized,” said Rick Telander, a sportswriter from the Midwest who spent the summer of 1974 in New York for his classic book, “Heaven Is a Playground.” “New York was this bubbling cauldron that started all the things we see in the game today,” Telander says. “But there’s no way it could hang onto it, not when people are playing in Beijing and Sao Paulo and Berlin.” Some die-hards insist that New York hasn’t slipped. But that’s hard to argue when you examine ...

The numbers In the 1970s, 43 players from New York City high schools played in the NBA, according to statistics provided by basketball-reference.com. In the ’80s there were 37 players; in the ’90s there were 27. In the 2000s, only 24 players from city high schools played in the league, meaning New Yorkers’ court time has declined significantly over the decades. These figures don’t include players who left town to finish high school, such as Joakim Noah or Charlie Villanueva, or players from nearby suburbs, like Ben Gordon. Ron Artest and Lamar Odom, key members of the NBA champion Lakers, learned to play in the city — but not recently. They came up in the ’90s. The best New York bornand-bred pro under 30? Probably Sebastian Telfair, currently a backup in Minnesota. There’s not much on the immediate horizon. On the current Rivals.com list of the nation’s top 150 high school seniors, there are only four New York City kids, none ranked higher than No. 45. The player in that spot is Maurice Harkless, who left Queens to play his final season at South Kent School in Connecticut. He’s just the latest example of a trend that has drained major talent from the city. Call it ...

The Exodus “When I was growing up, the best players wanted to stay in New York,” says the Brooklynite Chris Mullin, who was the seventh pick in the 1985 NBA draft, played in five All-Star games, and was on the original Olympic Dream Team. “Now they look at other options.” Schools right across the river in New Jersey, such as St. Anthony’s and St. Patrick’s, have attracted many talented New Yorkers. More than a dozen New England prep schools and basketball factories such as Oak Hill in Virginia and Findlay Prep in Nevada have taken their share, too. Even traditional powers like Rice High School in Manhattan are struggling to keep pace. There also have been huge socio-economic changes since the ’70s, enabling the hardscrabble families that produce so many athletes to seek more comfortable lives outside city limits. “For the most part, New York only has players who are stuck in the city,” says Clark Francis, publisher of the HoopScoop recruiting newsletter. “If you can go to a good basketball school, play a national schedule, be close to the city but not in the city, that’s a good situation.” And the best players will get noticed no matter where they are, thanks to ...

The circuit Kenny Smith remembers when the best New York schoolboys played summer ball for either Riverside Church or the Gauchos. Now they play for any of dozens of teams on “the circuit,” the summer AAU season. On the circuit, teams from all over crisscross the country, often lavishly sponsored by sneaker companies. College coaches peruse the prospects at huge, catchall tournaments featuring hundreds of squads. “The circuit wasn’t mandatory then,” says Smith, who was picked sixth in the 1987 draft and won two NBA championships. “You would walk into a New York City park, and every college coach would be there.” “Kids from other places were always good,” he says. “We just see them now. We didn’t see them as much before.” Many say the circuit has created a glut of teams, diluting the quality of New York ball — particularly the coaching. “The guys who were in basketball back then were basketball guys,” says Smith, now an NBA analyst on TNT. “They didn’t look for anything for themselves. They were lifers. They just played and coached for life. Now it’s the neighborhood guy

who has a kid who’s good” and builds a team around him. Tom Konchalski, a New York native who has scouted high school players for nearly 50 years, says the circuit also emphasizes travel and games over practice. “Especially in New York, they never stop playing an endless series of games,” he says. “There’s more out-of-season ball then ever, and that’s when they used to work on skills.” That includes the city’s signature ability, known as ...

The hype In 2008, Dime magazine put Brooklyn’s Lance Stephenson on its cover with the proclamation: “This 17-year-old would be an NBA star right now.” In 2010, Stephenson was drafted in the second round. He’s now glued to the bench in Indiana. Felipe Lopez was on the cover of Sports Illustrated while still at Rice High School. He lasted all of four seasons in the NBA. Telfair also made the SI cover; he’s been traded five times in eight seasons, including to Minnesota twice. With so much mythology and so much media in New York, there’s a tendency to make good players seem great. Meyer remembers when ESPN had just started showing high school games, and Jay-Z was in the stands watching Telfair. “I remember thinking that he’s good, he will definitely play in the NBA, but if he wasn’t from New York, nobody would be saying he’d be an All-Star,” he said. Dwayne Morton, who coached Telfair and Stephenson at Lincoln High in Brooklyn, said the spotlight and the pressure have robbed players of something special. “The love is gone,” he says. “It was all business for Lance. He could never truly love the game.” But even without the love, without a bumper crop of top players, New York will always have ...

Thunder rally for win over Hornets NBA ROUNDUP

The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant doesn’t mind taking a back seat when Russell Westbrook is taking over a game in crunch time. Westbrook scored 12 of his 25 points during a decisive 14-0 run late in the fourth quarter and also had 11 assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied to beat the New Orleans Hornets 95-89 on Monday night. “This is the new Russell,” Durant said. “He’s just taking over games and controlling the games. That’s what we need for us to win.” Westbrook scored six in a row to tie the game, then kept going with a driving layup and a 3-pointer that put the Thunder up 88-81 with 1:38 to play. After the 3-pointer, he mocked slamming guns down into holsters at his side. “Sometimes when my teammates are down and not making shots, it’s an opportunity for me to be able to step up and help us win the game,” Westbrook said. Westbrook has been the go-to guy down the stretch for Oklahoma City recently with Durant and Jeff Green struggling to knock down shots consistently. Over the past three games, Durant and Green are a combined 37-for-109 (34 percent) from the field. Durant finished with 26 points, but 12 came from the free-throw line — including four in the final minute that helped clinch it. His biggest contribution in the decisive stretch was slowing down David West, who led New Orleans with 20 points but missed six straight shots as Oklahoma City pulled ahead. “This game is all about wins. As a leader, you’ve got to do whatever it takes to win. I think that I did that tonight,” Durant said. “That’s a part of my growth as a player.” Chris Paul added 17 points, 14 assists and five steals as the Hornets lost for the fourth time in five games after an 11-1 start. “I thought we competed our tails off tonight on the road in a tough back-toback,” New Orleans coach Monty Williams said. “The ball didn’t go down. It happens in this league. If you hold a team like that to 95 points, you give yourself a chance.”

Westbrook missed 10 of his first 15 shots and committed eight turnovers but did away with all those struggles in his final flurry. He made his final four attempts and didn’t turn the ball over in the final 6 minutes as Oklahoma City wiped away an 81-75 deficit. “He’s an All-Star. He probably won’t get the votes, unless somebody puts him in the game,” Williams said. “That guy is playing at a level that you scout for him for about 10 or 15 minutes of your practice because his pick-and-roll, he’s shooting the ball now, he gets to the freethrow line about 10 times a game. “If you said that and just left the (identity) blank, you’d say that’s an All-Star.” Jeff Green and Thabo Sefolosha added 13 points apiece for the Thunder, who bounced back from a one-point loss in Houston a night earlier. Emeka Okafor had 13 points and 11 rebounds, and Trevor Ariza and Marco Belinelli scored 10 each.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Virginia gets victory over No. 15 Minnesota The Associated Press

The future There are more than 700 outdoor courts in the city, and about 75 outdoor tournaments, according to Bobbito Garcia, a New York player and filmmaker. His forthcoming documentary, “Doin’ It in the Park: Pickup Basketball in NYC,” reveals a still-thriving basketball culture. “I don’t think the cupboard is bare, but there needs to be a reassessment,” Smith says. “We’re down, but we’re not out. We’re more like a redshirt freshman than a guy who can’t make the team.” Garcia has played in 45 countries on five continents, and ballers everywhere tell him they dream about competing on the playgrounds of New York. In that way, he says, New York will always be the mecca. “There are too many courts, too much history, too much culture,” Garcia says. “It always will be special. It can’t help but be special, whether it’s producing the No. 1 high school player or not.”

The handle Telander saw something unique on the playgrounds back in ’74: “When they had the ball in their hands, players were creating things that you didn’t see in organized basketball. There were a lot of personal statements being made above and beyond just the game. The basketball I had seen other places was sort of methodical.” The classic New York ability to dribble the ball — think Pearl Washington, who electrified college audiences at Syracuse; Mark Jackson, No. 3 on the all-time NBA assist list; or the 6-foot-10 Odom, who often runs the Lakers’ fast break — largely came from playing outdoors. “Some days you couldn’t shoot from outside,” Mullin remembers. “The rim might be 12 feet or 7 feet, it might be windy out. Everybody knew you were going to the basket, so you needed incredible skills to get into the paint and finish. That meant being creative, getting open, shooting runners, floaters.” Today a sharp handle is standard equipment for all players — “and it was the New York influence that did it,” Konchalski says. He is saddened by the downward trend in the number of elite city players. “The situation will probably go lower and get worse before it gets better, because people have to realize that it’s reached desperate stages and something has got to be done,” Konchalski says. “If you love New York City basketball, it is sad that it no longer is the mecca.” There’s one area New York hasn’t slipped, though ...

Virginia’s K.T. Harrell goes to the basket against Minnesota’s Ralph Sampson III during the first half of Monday’s game in Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota rolled into Williams Arena on Monday night with a No. 15 ranking, its highest ever under coach Tubby Smith. Mustapha Farrakhan and Virginia took care of that in a hurry. Farrakhan scored a career-high 23 points and Mike Scott had 17 points and 12 rebounds to lead Virginia to an 87-79 victory over the Golden Gophers on Monday night. Joe Harris scored 24 points and the Cavaliers (4-3) made 10 of 13 3-pointers to erase a 13-point first-half deficit and hand the Gophers (6-1) their first loss of the season. “I think everybody thought we’d come in here and get blown out of the gym,” Scott said. “I think the only ones who thought we could win was our coaches. They kept stressing that this was a tough place to play, whether they’re ranked or not, but they had confidence that we could win the game.” Trevor Mbakwe had 18 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks for Minnesota. But the Gophers scored just two points during a seven-minute span of the second half and couldn’t complete a furious rally in the final 5 minutes. Mbakwe’s putback cut Virginia’s 14-point lead to 73-67 with 2 minutes to play, but Scott responded with a three-point play to put the game out of reach. “That was probably as pathetic an effort defensively as we’ve had in a long time,” Smith

said. “But a lot of credit has to go to Virginia.” In other games on Monday: No. 5 Kansas State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 85 Emporia State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 61 MANHATTAN, Kan. — Jacob Pullen broke the school record for career 3-pointers, leading Kansas State to an easy victory over Division II Emporia State and giving the Wildcats their first six-win month of November.

That was part of a 17-2 run that gave TCU a 47-33 lead after the Trojans (4-4) had gone ahead before halftime.

Bowling

LA PINE

If you go

Continued from D1 Currently, Lava Lanes is promoting a Sunday morning special during which, from 9 to 11 a.m., the cost for a lane (with up to four bowlers) is $14.95 for unlimited games. And during the summer, the facility offers $1-per-game specials. Mombert’s goal, especially, is to bring in families. “We have the leagues,” she says, “but then we’re a family establishment, and we love when people come in and have fun with their families.” Sun Mountain is also a family-friendly establishment; the facility does not host bowling leagues and, thus, always has lanes available for open bowling. Even the smallest of tots can get in on the action there, with bowling ramps — which look a lot like small playground slides — that can be placed at the foul line and from which children can roll their bowling balls. And bumpers (or “gutter guards”) are pretty standard fare at most bowling centers these days: Lava Lanes even has high-tech, fancy bumpers that can be programmed on the lane’s computer to move into position, depending on who is bowling, allowing adults and children to bowl on the same lane with their individual bumper preference. “It’s very interactive when they are young like that,” Mombert says. “You get to help (younger bowlers) out more. I almost think of it as like a team, familybuilding type experience, because you get the positive reinforcement.” Not only is bowling accessible to almost all ages — bowlers as old as 95

Bowl, La Pine Bowling Center and Rimrock Lanes all offer leagues. You don’t need to be on the verge of entering the professional ranks to join a league, as leagues at these facilities run the gamut in terms of skill level — from beginners to advanced bowlers — and age — from junior and high school to senior leagues. Dustin Close, 23, has yet to join a bowling league, though he has wanted to for some time. On this Sunday evening of Thanksgiving weekend, he is at

Lava Lanes with a group to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Close’s extensive bowling experience becomes evident rather quickly, as he consistently rolls his ball in a beautiful arc down the lane. The Bend resident grew up going bowling for family outings — he used be one of those kids who came to bowl on Thanksgiving, he says. His obsession really began when he started participating on high school bowling teams as a teenager and be-

Get A Taste For Food, Home & Garden Every Tuesday In AT HOME

gan dating a girl who was dedicated to the sport. So he learned more from her, got some coaching and bought his own equipment. And he got hooked, bowling pretty much “every day” at one point. “Everyone’s going to have fun bowling,” Close says. “You can’t not have fun. You get cool-colored shoes — I mean, it’s fun.” When he was bowling regularly, Close says, he rolled a best game of 278 and averaged about 194. He has participated in some tournaments and will join a league, which he says is worth the money, if he can get some friends together to form a team. Despite having not bowled for a couple of months, he bowls a 164 this time out, just missing a turkey — three strikes in a row — in the 10th frame when a single pin eludes him on his final ball. “Once you know how to do it, you know how to do it,” he says of the sport. “You’re good.” Much like with golf, the nuances and intricacies of bowling continue to fascinate him. “There’s more to it than just takin’ a ball and throwin’ it down the lane,” Close says. “That’s what keeps me around.” That probably would not come as much of a surprise to someone like Mombert. “(Bowling) really is for all age groups, and it’s just one of those sports where you can do (it) pretty much your whole lifetime,” she says. No matter what the weather is like outside. Amanda Miles can be reached at 541383-0393 or at amiles@bendbulletin. com.

Continued from D1 Indeed, Texans owner Bob McNair said he awarded the fight to Johnson “on points,” and the team’s website played up the fight on its Twitter account. Coach Gary Kubiak gave Johnson a game ball, ostensibly for his nine receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown in the 20-0 win over Tennessee. Johnson wasn’t bragging about any of it; he and Finnegan were fined $25,000 each Monday for the fight. “I would like to apologize to the organization, our owner, and my teammates,” he said. “What happened out there today was not me. I just lost my cool and I wish that I could take back what happened, but I can’t. It’s over and done with now.” Finnegan has a history of goading receivers, but also is good enough in coverage and as a tackler to have made the 2008 All-Pro team. He and Johnson have a history — the Texans’ All-Pro wideout last season was fined $7,500 for taking Finnegan to the ground by the face mask during a scuffle after a play in a 34-31 Texans win. Earning just as much notice on the weekend was the London caper that led to Saturday’s $50,000 fine for the Broncos and another $50,000 for coach Josh McDaniels. Essentially, they were docked because an assistant spied on a San Francisco walkthrough the day be-

fore the Oct. 31 game at Wembley Stadium. The team and McDaniels insist that Steve Scarnecchia acted alone and no one watched the tape. Sarnecchia is no stranger to this territory, having had a hand in New England’s taping of opponents in the original Spygate. “I would say this: He knew full well what was expected from him in terms of the types of behavior we would expect out of him, what Josh stood for, what Mr. Bowlen stood for, what the Denver Broncos stood for, how we conducted ourselves,” said Broncos chief operating officer Joe Ellis, who speaks for team owner Pat Bowlen. “It’s disappointing that he chose the wrong path when he was in London. But he was fully aware of the standards here.” When standards are ignored and rules violated, particularly involving such a web of intrigue, and when teams and coaches are fined big-time, what chances do touchdown passes and sacks have? Well, when a tackle is made by the Steelers’ star linebacker and he gets flagged — and potentially fined or even suspended — yet again, that does raise eyebrows. And it further obscures what the NFL and most of its fans would prefer to concentrate on. So, on the Monday after a weekend of drama and shuffled standings, the talk tends to center on brawls, fines and firings, not division races and memorable games.

Bend woman copes with husband’s suicide with memorial trees By Penny Nakamura • For The Bulletin nissa Perkins hands her 2-year-old grandson,

Xayne McGuire, a shiny ornament to hang on the Christmas tree. The little boy, wearing a Santa hat, walks over to the lower branch and proudly

hangs the ornament up by himself. Perkins, of Bend, smiles and wipes a tear from her eye. While decorating for Christmas has always been a festive occasion for the family, this year it’s bittersweet, and she says, at times it hurts her soul. Perkins said her husband, Calvin Perkins, died by suicide in August, and she has toiled in grief along with her two grown children. “After that night, I tried and tried to find some support for survivors of suicide, but at that time, there was no group, no one who could help me through my grief,” said Perkins, 43, as her voice cracked and her eyes filled with tears. “I didn’t know what to do, or where to turn. Regular bereavement groups just aren’t the same for survivors of suicide.” With nowhere to turn, Perkins’ pregnant daughter, Alexandria Gerardo, 20, stepped in and suggested an idea that might help them get through the holidays, and in the process, help them heal. “After Papa died, we knew we had to do something, and since Christmas was his absolute favorite thing, I thought we would start in November and do Christmas bigger and better

than he could’ve even imagined,” said Gerardo, as she pointed to a lighted mechanical polar bear, with lights synchronized to music. “That’s a bear he put up last year. Papa just went all out for Christmas.” With Christmas music filling the cold air, Perkins said they decided to make a Christmas tree memorial and holiday display in front of their house, and to make it more than just about honoring her husband.

Parents try to counter kids’ claim of ‘all my friends can’ Dear Abby: My children think that “because their friends can” they should be able to get, buy or do something. I encounter this problem often, especially when it’s bedtime. My children are 10 and 13, and they need to learn to appreciate the good parents they have because we don’t give in to all of their requests. Abby, any suggestions that may help us with this situation would be appreciated. — Good Parents in Woodstock, Ill. Dear Good Parents: At 10 and 13, your children are old enough to understand the concept that not all families are alike. Because a friend of theirs enjoys a privilege or has something they don’t have does not mean that your children must. I wish you had been more specific about the problem that occurs at bedtime. If they are arguing about the hour, they need to understand that for them to perform well in school they need a solid night’s sleep. It is wellknown that sleep-deprived kids can’t learn. If your children are asking for “things,” then let me remind you that parents who grant a child’s every wish fail to teach that child one of life’s most important lessons: how to cope with disappointment. So please don’t feel guilty about drawing the line, or asking your children how they plan to earn whatever it is they’re asking for. Dear Abby: I am a 20-year-old college student who has found the man of my dreams. We have been dating for a year and a half and have been through a lot together. We both believe it is acceptable (and in our case, preferable) for a woman to be a stay-at-home mother and wife. I do not have a problem with having dinner on the table when he arrives home. However, the number of people who have deemed our views

“unacceptable” and “disgraceful” is astounding. I was actually spit on by a woman who accused me of being “the problem with women.” She called me “weak” and a disappointment to womanhood across the nation. I’m so offended by her attack. Am I wrong in thinking it is fine for a woman to be taken care of by her husband? Should I feel the need to be a working mom and wife? Am I too traditional for modern times? Please help me to see the whole picture. — Lucky Lady In Laramie Dear Lucky Lady: The personal attack on you was uncalled for, and the woman who spat on you was hardly a role model for liberated women across the nation. Whether you choose to try to juggle a marriage and a career is a personal decision. Not every woman is able to manage it successfully. That said, many households in the U.S. are headed by single women, and it usually wasn’t a matter of choice. That’s why it’s so important for women to complete their education before being married and to be qualified for a career should the need arise. And it’s also why having a prenuptial agreement in place before heading for the altar is advisable. While it isn’t wrong to think it is fine for a woman to be taken care of by her husband, the truth is it doesn’t always work out that way. And it couldn’t hurt you to have a few years of work experience before starting a family — just in case.

For Robin Kennedy, clothes mean character. Kennedy is the costume designer for Fox’s “Raising Hope,” which stars Lucas Neff as Jimmy Chance, a young man living with his parents while raising his infant daughter, who is the happy result of a one-night stand with a serial killer. Critics have praised the show for its heart and quirkiness, and the ratings have been solid enough that Fox recently ordered a full season of episodes. Count us among faithful viewers. And what has caught our eye about recent episodes (among many other things) are Jimmy’s T-shirts. Bigfoot fights Abraham Lincoln on one. R. Crumb’s Mr. Natural appears on another. Our favorite: a shirt with a picture of pancakes on it with the word “Pancakes.” “(Creator and executive producer) Greg Garcia loves T-shirts with logos on them, so we are always looking for something fun and out of the ordinary to use on Jimmy,” Kennedy said. Kennedy says the characters often re-wear their clothes “like normal people do,” but with an average of 10 costume changes per actor, per episode, she likes to keep it fresh. “We also provide all the duplicates for the many stunt people on our show,” she said, “and we work with two sets of twins and a stand-in doll.” Kennedy also worked on Garcia’s previous series, “My Name Is Earl.” She said it wasn’t her plan to become a TV series costume designer. Originally from New York, she took a job at a Hollywood costume shop after graduating from design school in Los Angeles “out of necessity.”

When: 9 p.m. Tuesdays Where: Fox

Lucas Neff, right, and Garret Dillahunt are shown in a scene from the new series, “Raising Hope.” “I wound up meeting and working with many costume designers that brought their movies, television shows and variety shows into the shop,” she said. “I just got hooked.” We contacted Kennedy to see if she’d tell us a little about how she goes about her job. She filled us in on the work that goes into Halloween episodes, flashbacks and Jimmy’s awesome T-shirts. “In the pilot, we established that Jimmy has some artistic talents and would be drawn to more quirky images. Greg initially found the Abraham Lincoln boxing with Bigfoot T-shirt on the website www.Glarkware. com, so I contacted the owner, and he gave us permission to use his design on our show. “The script said, ‘Maw Maw walks out the front door in a bra and pants.’ I thought, ‘What can I do to instantly make the audience see her as fun and eccentric?’ I had the idea to put her in an old-fashioned white bra, brightly colored vintage polyester pants and oversized vintage costume jewelry.

“From our first meeting, Cloris (Leachman) was on board in a big way — she laughed through the entire fitting. It’s so rewarding to collaborate with an actor and help them realize who their characters are in both subtle and not so subtle ways. “The pancake T-shirt has its own story. Liam Harty, our post-production assistant, is a bit like Jimmy — young, artistic, not wanting to spend too much money on clothes. During the making of the pilot, we were desperate to find some additional Tshirt designs. “Every day Liam would come to work with a different quirky T-shirt on. When I asked him where he got them, he said he makes them. He gets blank Tshirts, iron-on transfers, finds images on the Internet and cranks them out. “So I grabbed Liam in his

pancake shirt and brought him into Greg’s office. Greg liked it so much we used it in the pilot, and he wrote it into a scene that Jimmy should be ironing the pancake artwork onto the T-shirt while saying his dialogue.” (See more of Liam’s designs at www. zazzle.com/whaleegg.) “Our last few episodes have had a lot of custom-made, specialty costumes. Take the Halloween episode, where Jimmy and Sabrina were Batman and Robin. For legal and monetary reasons, you can’t portray the original characters as most people remember them, but at the same time, they need to look similar enough that the writer will be happy and the public will recognize them and think they look good. It took two weeks, numerous sketches and multiple e-mails for the designs to be approved by Fox for airing. Then comes the fabric shopping, accessorizing and multiple fittings for those sketches to come to life. Besides that, we had multiples of Jimmy’s Batman costume, multiples of Maw Maw’s kitty costume, multiple flashback costumes, and 50 background people in full costume. It was quite an extravaganza, but I love how it turned out.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2010: This year, you often feel as if your nerves are fried. How you handle a personal matter and the choices you make depend on your ability to detach and flex. Your network of friends and associates will support you in various ideas, though the cost might not be worth it. If you are single, you’ll meet someone out of the blue, when you least expect it. Spring 2011 attracts a special suitor. Romance is intense in 2011 for single and attached Sagittarians. If you are attached, develop a stronger friendship as well. LIBRA proves to be a friend through thick and thin. 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) HHHH A different energy greets you. A power play or someone in charge creates a situation where you feel you must respond. A discussion with this same person demonstrates the different options you might have. Tonight: Detach and relax more. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH Understanding the parameters of a situation, whether social or at work, allows you to make the best choice. Stop and talk to various people during the day. Sometimes people move too swiftly to be cordial. Tonight: Can you squeeze in some exercise? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Someone you have counted on vanishes way too

quickly. Allow greater give-andtake in the next few days. Don’t cut off someone just because you disagree. Evaluate this person’s position. Tonight: Go with a spontaneous idea. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Maintain a low profile no matter where you are or what you are up to. Your ability to relax and be more present depends on the ability to let go. Don’t try to change anyone. Have a dialogue and express your different views. Tonight: A quiet night at home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might be correct. You might be absolutely sure that you are right. Nevertheless, your words fall on deaf ears, as no one seems to get the gist of your message. Try a different mode of communication. Tonight: Meet a friend halfway. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HH Swing into action knowing full well your limits and another’s needs. A child or a loved one might be pushing the envelope. Recognize this person’s need to be in control, and help him or her find it within rather than outside. Tonight: Pay bills first. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH While others seem to be running around, you might feel as if you are in danger of being tripped up or distracted. Make it your business to stay focused on one issue at a time. Don’t overthink a domestic matter, for now. Tonight: As you wish. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Maintain a low profile, especially as you seem easily

drawn into an argument or sharp discussion. Your ability to relate might feel impaired. It might be that you are in the whirlwind of this person’s life. Tonight: Do your thing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH A take-charge attitude allows you to have a greater say in what appears to be a very chaotic situation. Remain relaxed, knowing what is needed. Others will eventually respond to the voice of clarity and sanity. Tonight: Where people are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your tone seems to draw a stronger reaction than you intended. Ask yourself if you have an issue involving what is going on. Could you be giving mixed signals? A discussion could evolve into a brainstorming situation. Tonight: The only answer is yes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Step up to the plate. A challenge might not be personal, but it will help you detach in order to understand the complete perspective, as full as your mind allows. A male or very strong-willed friend plays a role that pushes too hard for you. Tonight: Put on some music on the way home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH A partner gives you his or her share of advice. Will you listen? Do you want to listen? The discussions that revolve around this matter open up a lot of different feelings or ideas. Make it OK not to agree. Tonight: With a trusted adviser. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Dogs can be a treat at work

Tree C o n ti n ued from E1 “So I started posting on the Internet about what we were doing, and why, and I soon realized I wasn’t alone. You’d be surprised how many suicide survivors are out there,” said Perkins, as she looked at the eight artificial Christmas trees in varying sizes other survivors have dropped by to her Bend home to honor their loved ones. “I’ve been contacted by someone as far away as the United Kingdom and a woman in Illinois.” Perkins said she’s been talking to many people on the phone who plan to bring her more trees as the holidays draw near. According to the Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the largest nonprofit suicide prevention organization, every 15 minutes someone in this country will die by suicide, leaving behind at least six survivors. “It gives me some closure by doing this, and from talking to other suicide survivors, some of them have it a lot worse than I do,” said Perkins, who’s a student of criminal justice at Central Oregon Community College. “I think this idea is spreading, I heard from one woman in Madras who says she’s going to do the same thing to honor her loved one. I think there is a real need for support for suicide survivors.” Christina Lewis, a good friend of Perkins, stopped by to help decorate on a chilly weekend day. Lewis brought bags and bags of decorations and garlands as she sought to support her friend. “This is such an amazing idea. As the owner of two adult foster homes in Deschutes County, I can tell you there are so many people like Anissa who could fall through the cracks, because there’s such a severe lack of counseling services,” said Lewis, shaking her head. “There’s so much need. Look at Anissa, three months after her husband’s passing and she’s able to do this, pretty much on her own, and this is a family that doesn’t have a lot of money, but they’re still celebrating as a family.” Joseph Gerardo, 22, Perkins’ oldest son, takes special care in decorating a brown Christmas tree that had been last year’s tree. It appears to be a sentimental favorite for him. The irony of taking something

Joseph decorates last year’s Christmas tree. ugly and trying to make it beautiful again is not lost on Perkins. “Calvin loved Christmas. If it glittered or sparkled, he bought it. Just this idea and being able to share it with other people makes us feel so much better,” said Perkins. “I was so lonely and searching for help, and there was nothing, so I hope this can be my present to other people like me, other survivors.”

Anissa Perkins looks through a box of decorations with her 2-year-old grandson, Xayne McGuire, on Nov. 20.

Getting help The Bend hospice program Partners in Care has a program called Traumatic Loss, which provides support for those with losses from suicide, homicide, accident and other forms of trauma. A new session will be starting in January (541-3825882). Redmond-Sisters Hospice is planning to start a group for those with losses from suicide in January (541-548-7483). A recent website search, however, turned up no suicide survivor groups in Central Oregon. There were groups in Baker City

and Coos Bay, and several in Multnomah and Lane counties. Perkins hopes that will change, and she hopes people will see her Christmas tree memorial as a sign that more needs to be done to help suicide survivors, especially in the days and weeks immediately after a loss.

“I hope people will see our Christmas tree memorial and realize they’re not alone. I spoke to one woman who said she had a loved one commit suicide five years ago, and I’m the first person that made themself available to talk about it. Can you believe that? It happened five years ago,

and I’m the first person she’s talking to?” Perkins said. “Maybe this is a path to recovery, helping other people. By just listening, it feels like I’m healing, too.” Penny Nakamura can be reached at 541-382-1811 or at pnakamura@bendbulletin.com.

Boss got you on a short leash? Been working you like a dog? Here’s a solution: Bring yours to the office. Dogs can foster greater employee trust and collaboration in the workplace, researchers at Central Michigan University say. Their study included experiments such as giving groups the task of developing advertisements for fake products or “charging” members with fake crimes only to see who would snitch on whom. Some groups had dogs, others did not. Across the board, researchers said, trust and cohesion were higher among the groups with dogs. “It’s heartening when research confirms our instincts and our practices,” said Jennifer Fearing, co-author of “Dogs at Work: A Practical Guide to Creating DogFriendly Workplaces” and California senior state director for the Humane Society of the United States. “We heartily agree with the positive impact that dogs can have on workplace morale, collaboration and productivity.” So what makes man’s best friend so ideally equipped to help lick workers’ problems in the dog-eat-dog world of corporate America? “It proves a really good stress reliever if you can bend down and pet your own dog, or you can walk down to the cubicle next to you and pet an animal. It can even reduce your blood pressure,” said Betsy McFarland, senior director for companion animals at the Humane Society’s Gaithersburg, Md., office. Of course, there are practical concerns: Sneezing coworkers, sloshing water bowls and the fact that those walks will inevitably cut into your coffee breaks. But maybe it’s worth it.

Jerky is the original highenergy snack food, and maybe you’re thinking about making your own. It could be you had a successful hunting season and ended up with lots of meat to experiment on. Or maybe the idea is to learn another do-ityourself skill, so you can make a healthy snack for the kids’ lunches. But there appear to be a few roadblocks on the way. Making jerky can be expensive. First, there is the cost of the meat. (As a hunter, I can attest to this fact: There is no cheap meat!) Then, there is the investment in a smoker or food dehydrator, and the cost of commercial jerky seasonings. When the math is done, it may appear that it’s cheaper to just buy jerky. But you can produce top-quality jerky fairly inexpensively, according to one expert, using meat from the local grocery store. All you need for equipment is an oven with some sort of wire rack. See Jerky / F2

various communities. Once cut, each tree must have a permit tag, and it must be validated with the date

Then, think about what you want the tree to look like, says Robin Gyorgyfalvy, acting public affairs officer for the Deschutes National Forest. There are 11 varieties of conifers that can be cut for Christmas trees in the national forests, she said, and they vary in appearance. Various species grow in different areas of the forests, and some only grow above certain elevations. Have an idea of what kind of tree you want before heading for the woods. See Trees / F5

The holidays generate a lot of joy — and a lot of trash. “The volume of household waste in the United States generally increases 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day — about 1 million extra tons,” according to the Environmental Protection Agency. A lot of that garbage is giftwrap, and that has always bothered Brian Daly, of Bend. After unwrapping gifts on Christmas morning in 2007 with his wife, Mona, and their two children, Brena and Evan, Daly had an epiphany. “We were looking at all the wrapping paper we were going to chuck, and said, ‘This is a waste, this is stupid. Let’s make recycled wrapping paper,’” Daly said. Daly had a designer on board. His wife is a successful freelance illustrator, with credits that include Barbie and Dora the Explorer toy packaging, food packaging, and editorial and children’s book illustration (www .monadaly.com). Daly was changing careers after 11 years as a physician’s assistant. He was shifting to photography and had a line of cards in the works (www.brian dalyphoto.com). Gift-wrapping seemed like a good fit. Daly began researching the idea. “I did a huge Internet search and found out that most wrapping paper was only partially recycled. Our idea was to do 100 percent recycled wrapping paper for the people who really want to be green, and we wanted to make it look good, too,” Daly said. See Wrapping / F4

COVER STORY

Is that egg still OK to eat? Try a water test By Kathleen Purvis McClatchy-Tribune News Service

put a piece of foil or cookie sheet on the bottom rack to catch any drippings. • Prop open the oven door with a towel, so the moisture escapes. If you forget this step, Stechelin said, the batch of jerky will bake instead of drying, and the result won’t be good. • Cook the jerky for about two and a half hours, or until it tests done. “Take the meat out when you can still bend it. The meat will still dry a little more after it’s out of the oven,” Stechelin said. “Don’t leave it in the oven until it’s crisp, or it will end up being too hard and tough.” All that’s left to do then, is let the jerky cool completely and store it in plastic bags. Then hide some for outdoor excursions. Homemade jerky is a great after-school snack, but be careful if there are teenagers in your house. Snacking on jerky is addictive, and the kids and their friends may wipe out the entire supply before you know it.

I have always had trouble with the “best by” date on egg cartons. I have probably thrown away many good eggs because of the carton date. Eggs generally keep for much longer than you think. Although some sources suggest using them within a month, they’ll actually keep longer if they are refrigerated in their original carton. The carton keeps them from absorbing odors and will keep them from being jostled, and they keep longer if they’re chilled. Unless the egg smells bad when you crack it, it is fine to use. Still, sniffing for a bad egg is an unpleasant way to discover a bad one. An easier way to check the freshness is to place the egg in a bowl and cover it with water. If the egg stays at the bottom, it’s very fresh. If it stands on end, it’s getting old but is still OK. If the egg floats, it’s a bad egg and should be discarded. The reason: After the egg is laid, an air pocket forms at the widest end. The pocket gets larger as the egg gets older. If it’s large enough for the egg to float, the egg is too old.

Jerky Continued from F1 “Jerky is just dried meat, and you can make it out of any kind of meat and many kinds of fish,” says Clem Stechelin, 79, of La Pine. “People have been making jerky forever, and the process isn’t complicated.” Stechelin is a retired meatcutter, owner of Clem’s Oregon Trail Seasonings, and has been making jerky and sausage for decades. He says jerky can be simple to make, inexpensive and doesn’t require an elaborate smoker or dehydrator system. Originally, Stechelin said, primitive hunters who killed a large animal dried meat by solar power. “They probably hung strips of meat over a bush or on some sort of rack in the sun,” he said. “Some of the different flavorings, like sage, might have started out when they realized meat dried on a sage bush tasted better.” Later, these hunters figured out they could dry meat faster if they hung it over a smoky fire,

Remember, jerky can be made out of most cuts of meat, but higher-quality cuts will results in more tender, less gristly jerky.

Stechelin said, and people acquired a taste for smoked, seasoned meat. Today, great-tasting jerky starts with the cut of meat. “It’s like a computer analogy: Junk in, junk out. If you start with a piece of tough meat with gristle, it will end up as jerky that is tough and hard to chew.” Stechelin said. “You shouldn’t use an inexpensive piece of meat and expect the jerky to turn out well.” Some of the cheaper roasts

have lots of fat and gristle, he said, which needs to be trimmed off before baking. “By the time you’re done, there won’t be much usable meat,” he said. “You would have been better buying some London broil to start with.” Stechelin recommends watching store ads for meat sales. London broil and top round are on sale for about $1.98 per pound “at least once a month,” he said, and those cuts make excellent jerky. Other, more

expensive meat cuts that work well for jerky are top round, bottom round and sirloin tip. “Probably the best cut for jerky is flank steak, but it is usually pretty expensive,” he said. “When you cut it across the grain and make jerky, it ends up tender, is easy to chew and has great flavor.” Most of Stechelin’s seasoning customers buy beef to make jerky, and use the oven method. It is the quickest, simplest technique, he claims, and anyone can use it to produce healthy, tasty energy snacks. Here is what you do: • Cut the meat, across the grain, into uniform slices between one-quarter and onehalf inch thick. Rub whatever seasonings you choose into the meat. Commercial jerky seasonings are available in the spice aisle of most grocery stores, or experiment and make your own. • Put the meat on a wire pizza rack or cooling rack for bread. • Set the oven between 200 and 220 degrees. (Individual ovens vary, so some experimentation may have to be done.) Place the loaded racks in the oven, and

Make a hash of those leftovers

Updated!

By Carol Mighton Haddix Chicago Tribune

25 NW Minnesota Ave. #5 Downtown Bend

Though turkey soup and sandwiches are the go-to ways to use up leftovers after the holidays, we’ve always liked hash. Pure comfort food, it lends itself to endless variation, depending on whim and what’s in the refrigerator. Here, we jazz up a turkey hash with colorful bell peppers and a touch of French herbs. Serve it with a frisee salad with a mustardy dress-

ing and slices of hearty French bread. Tips: If you have time and inclination, serve this with a fried or poached egg on top; it creates a lovely sauce for the hash. Feel free to add other vegetables, perhaps leftover green beans or cubed, cooked squash. Beverage suggestion: If you have more white meat in your hash, try a sauvignon blanc. More dark meat? A soft merlot would work well.

541-388-0155 TURKEY AND PEPPERS HASH Makes 4 servings. Chop the turkey as finely or coarsely as you like. Look for cooked, diced potatoes and chopped bell peppers in the supermarket produce aisle. 2 TBS olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 each, chopped: red onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper 2 C diced cooked potatoes 1 ⁄2 tsp herbes de Provence or other herb mix

⁄2 tsp salt ⁄4 tsp red pepper flakes, optional 4 C chopped, cooked turkey, a mix of white and dark meat 1 C leftover turkey gravy or turkey broth

1 1

Heat oil in large, heavy skillet; add garlic and onion. Cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add peppers; cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes, herbs, salt and red pepper flakes. Stir in turkey and gravy. Cook, pressing down on the hash, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn with a spatula. Cook until browned on other side, about 5 minutes. Season to taste.

F Pork and beans take a trip to Italy By Stephanie Witt Sedgwick Special to The Washington Post

I love pork and I’m crazy about beans, but I’m not a fan of traditional American pork and beans. To me, the concoction seems overly sweet. There are so many other ways to combine the main ingredients and come up with something that works. Here’s an easy stew using Italian flavors. The cooking method is suited to cooler

weather, but the seasoning is on the lighter side. Fresh rosemary stalks are used here, but as much as I like the flavor of rosemary, I don’t like to eat the rosemary leaves. Wrapping the stalks in cheesecloth allows you extract the flavor from the herb and then remove the stalks after cooking. You can use already-cubed pork shoulder for this dish, but I like to start with boneless country-style pork chops.

ROSEMARY PORK WITH WHITE BEANS Makes 6 to 8 servings. Make ahead: The stew can be cooled and refrigerated for up to 3 days, or it can be frozen.

The Spanish small-plate dishes tapas, such as Anchovy and Blue Cheese Toasts, can be made using high quality canned goods and other prepared ingredients.

Throwing a party? Raid the pantry and call it tapas St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Throwing a tapas party can be much easier than you might expect. The core ingredients for a Spanish small-plates theme may already be in your pantry or fridge: olives, almonds, tuna, olive oil, anchovies and bread. Don’t cringe about the anchovies, by the way. If you’re using the classic flat-can version, you can greatly reduce the brininess by soaking them and patting them dry. Even better, seek out the refrigerated-pack white anchovies now available at better seafood counters. You can also up the authenticity quotient of your tapas by finding Spanish imports such as jarred tuna, Marcona almonds and Manzanilla olives. If you’re browsing the olive bar at your

supermarket, Peppadew peppers — while not Spanish — are perfect for recipes such as Peppers Stuffed With Tuna. A little plate of almonds and marinated olives is a tapas staple. If your almonds aren’t already prepared, fry them in a little olive oil and sprinkle them with salt. Serve the peppers and the almond-olive plate with some quick-to-prepare toasts and you’ve got a tapas party that takes less than an hour to put together. For another instant choice, cube Manchego cheese and the quince paste called membrillo and put one cube of each on a toothpick. And if you’re serving wine, extend the theme by offering outof-the-ordinary choices such as Albarino, Monastrell or a sparkling Cava.

ANCHOVY AND BLUE CHEESE TOASTS Makes 4 tapas servings. 4 anchovy filets, drained of oil 3½ oz good-quality blue cheese, at room temperature

4 thin slices French bread, toasted 2 sprigs mint, cut into ribbons Extra-virgin olive oil

If using canned anchovies, soak briefly in cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Mash cheese to a paste. Dividing evenly, spread over bread. Top each toast with an anchovy, sprinkle with mint and drizzle lightly with olive oil.

BREAD WITH TOMATOES AND GARLIC

Fresh rosemary flavors this recipe for pork and beans. Wrap the sprigs in cheesecloth to keep the leaves from the dish.

Makes 4 tapas servings. 1 clove garlic 8 thin slices French bread, toasted 1 whole canned plum tomato (see note)

About 1 TBS extra-virgin olive oil Salt Freshly ground black pepper

Cut clove of garlic in half. Rub garlic, cut side down, 4 to 6 times on one surface of each slice of bread. Cut tomato in half lengthwise and rub it into the bread over the garlic. The juice should penetrate the surface of the bread, and pieces of tomato should remain on the surface. Sprinkle each slice with olive oil; season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve almost immediately, so that the bread doesn’t get soggy.

You can give a tapas dish such as tuna-stuffed peppers a more Spanish feel by using jarred Spanish tuna packed in olive oil. Serve with almonds and marinated olives, a tapas staple. To prepare the almonds, fry them in a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

1 TBS sugar, or more to taste Freshly ground black pepper 3 ⁄4 C dry white wine 2 C cooked cannellini beans (if using canned, preferably a no-salt-added brand such as Eden) About 10 sprigs rosemary, wrapped and tied in cheesecloth to form a packet (1 oz)

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Coat the bottom of a large skillet with 1 tablespoon of the oil, then place over medium-high heat. Add enough of the pork cubes to fill the pan without crowding. Brown the pieces of meat in batches, turning each piece at least once; transfer to a bowl. Continue with the remaining pork, adding oil as needed, until all of the cubes have browned. Remove the skillet from the heat. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat in a large (5-quart or larger) Dutch oven or stew pot. Add the onion, celery and salt to taste; reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables soften. Add the tomato puree, broth, sugar (to taste), and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine; increase the heat to medium-high so the mixture is bubbling at the edges. Add the browned pork cubes. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the white wine, then use a wooden spoon to dislodge any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Transfer to the Dutch oven, add the beans and stir to incorporate. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. Submerge the rosemary packet in the liquid. Once the liquid starts to bubble at the edges, cover the Dutch oven and transfer to the oven. Slow-roast for about 11⁄2 hours or until the pork is tender. Remove from the oven.

Ceiling paint tips

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Things are finally looking up for ceilings. As we’re staying put in our homes, the fifth wall is getting attention. For decades, ceilings have been ignored blank canvases and missed opportunities. But that’s never been the case in Sally Hilkene’s Mission Hills, Kan., home. The interior designer’s music room already had ceiling details, but Hilkene darkened and distressed the corbels to really play them up. And then there’s her dining room, inspired by an Italian monastery’s version of the heavens, with hand-painted Latin terms for sunsets and her three sons’ birthdates. But the piece de resistance is the family room Hilkene added to the home. Wooden beams accentuate the cathedral ceiling. The focal point of the room is a salvaged 15th-century Italian ceiling as wall art with eyebrow windows to let in light. “Don’t we spend most of our lives sitting or lying down?” asks Hilkene, owner of Churchill clothing and home fashion stores in the Kansas City area. “So why shouldn’t ceilings be interesting? They can tell our personal stories, our family histories and even our fantasies, taking us away and bringing us peace.” Hilkene’s story is clearly about her love of Europe. With clients, she plays therapist to project their interests and dreams through design. And that isn’t limited to the walls, furniture and decor. Using overhead space, one client’s ceiling creates the feeling of sitting under a cherry blossom tree. “Maybe my need to make the ceilings pretty comes from growing up in a four-poster tester bed with draperies, and I’d stare at the fabrics and folds above me,” she said. “I use thick crown molding to play ceilings up. It doesn’t have to be super expensive; you can put together two trim pieces.” Interior designer Becky Mosby of Edgevale Interiors also appreciates ceilings with charm and character. Her store’s powder room ceiling is papered with a red Jaima Brown wallpaper, adding a rich layer to an already opulent room with gold-and-silver cabinetry and black draperies. “It’s comforting while still adding a pop of color,” Mosby said.

Wooden beams accentuate the cathedral ceiling at the home of interior designer Sally Hilkene in Mission Hills, Kan.

Ceiling styles COFFERED Sally Hilkene designed a stencil of her family crest and had it painted on the ceiling of the Churchill store in Fairway. “It personalizes the space,” Hilkene says.

PAINTED Talk about a conversation starter in the dining room: Sally Hilkene had her three sons’ birthdays painted on the ceiling in Latin. “Ceilings can be whatever you want them to be,” she says.

architectural detail for his dining room. He searched the Internet and found Lincrusta, a paintable embossed wall covering. Painted in Sealskin by Sherwin-Williams, a grayed brown hue, it resembles leather.

PLANKED The 1905 home of Jason Milford and Amy Bhesania contains a strange soffit in the bedroom. Using random widths of ship lap, the couple planked the ceiling, which not only added interest to the ceiling but camouflaged the odd detail.

WALLPAPERED A powder room is an opportunity to wallpaper walls and the ceiling. Becky Mosby of Edgevale Interiors chose a red wallpaper with chandeliers to play up the room in her Mission store.

TEXTURED Modern furniture maker Jason Milford wanted a ceiling with more Still, she concedes that when you wallpaper or paint the ceiling in a dark color, you’ll need more lighting. The tiny-but-tall bathroom contains four light fixtures. Mosby, an architectural history buff, has worked on homes that were among some of Kansas City’s first showpieces, including Janssen Place in Hyde Park. She loves the fish-scale plaster ceil-

STENCILED A trend in ceilings is paint stenciling, a modern spin on classic plaster medallions, says Sonu Mathew, senior interior designer for Benjamin Moore Paints. Mathew also used stenciling on the ceiling in her 2-year-old son’s room: 99 red balloons, inspired by the 1980s song. ings made by master craftsmen in the late 1800s. Artist Devon Himes of Kansas City, who works with paint and plaster, creates interesting ceilings using old and new methods. One coffered ceiling in a Colorado project featured rosettes made of barn wood accented with lichen, silvering and bakedoff paint. Another ceiling project featured a tortoiseshell pattern.

• Start with good tools: a strong ladder, the right tape and ergonomic brushes. • Popcorn ceilings? No problem. You don’t have to scrape and skim coat them if your time and budget won’t allow. A matte finish in a deep shade will minimize the textured effect. • Don’t use gloss paints unless your ceiling is in excellent condition. If it is, it’s an excellent look. • A lighter color than the walls makes them look taller. That includes tinted whites and cool blues and greens. Black and near black also create a more expansive effect. Warm colors make the room come down, like a hug. • A trick for making a tall room feel cozier: Paint the ceiling a different color than the walls, and bring that ceiling color down 3 feet or so into the walls. • Use a color that varies from the walls and trim. Martha Stewart Living for Home Depot takes away guesswork by suggesting ceiling and trim colors for its wall-color paint chips. • Timid about a ceiling color outside of white? Try a yellow-tinted white such as Niveous, which adds warmth to the room, or Sonnet, which contains a touch of pink, flattering to all skin tones. Both are Benjamin Moore. Sky Blue is a classic. • Color-confident? Benjamin Moore’s Caribbean Azure is deep turquoise. Benjamin Moore senior interior designer Sonu Mathew used Sesame, a greenish-yellow, for the ceiling in her recently repainted Gray Owl home office. “People have been coming around from the plain white ceiling because they do really complete the space,” Himes said. “But they’re tricky. They reflect everything around them.” Modern furniture maker Jason Milford of S(Lab) in Kansas City wanted the interior character of his Midtown brick over-under duplex, built in 1905, to live up to its interesting exterior, featuring a terra cotta roof. He started with the ceilings. In the dining room, Milford used Lincrusta, a British wall covering invented in 1877, heralded as the first washable wall covering. It appealed to Victorians who liked its durability and ornate effects. The name comes from Lin for linum (flax, from which linseed oil is made) and Crusta (relief). Before choosing Lincrusta, Milford also considered Anaglypta, invented in the 1880s as a flexible alternative to Lincrusta . Anaglypta is made of wood pulp and cotton, and like Lincrusta, the textured pattern can be painted. “The Anaglypta looked like dot-matrix printing compared to Lincrusta, which has a deeper pattern,” Milford said. Working with the deeply embossed Lincrusta was challenging. Each of the four rolls weighed 40 pounds. It also required more trimming and cutting than he expected. “Next time, I’d definitely hire a professional wallpaper hanger,” said Milford, who estimates he spent $800 in materials. “Still, people love it. When they see it, they say ‘Oh, my.’” Milfrord’s bedroom ceiling, which he installed with his wife, Amy Bhesania, uses wooden ship lap in random widths. The effect is modern and interesting. “I like the idea of living in a space,” Milford said. “Not a box.”

Mona Daly handles some of the EndoPrint wrapping paper she designed earlier this month at her family’s Bend home. The paper comes in 20-by-38-inch and 26-by-38-inch sheets that cost about $4 each.

Wrapping Continued from F1 The Dalys started EndoPrint in June 2008. Their 100 percent post-consumer waste recycled wrapping paper (and greeting cards), made with soy-based, nontoxic inks, are available online (www.endoprint.com) and in Bend at Serendipity Cards, Paper and Treasures in the Old Mill District. The EndoPrint wrapping paper comes in 20-by-38-inch and 26-by-38-inch sheets that cost about $4 each. There are currently eight contemporary and retro-style designs, with one candy cane pattern for Christmas, and several other designs that would suit holiday gift giving. Daly said that as sales continue to increase, they’ll come out with more patterns. They’re proud to be doing creative work that makes a meaningful difference for the environment. “Mona loves design, and we’re both excited about doing contemporary design that’s 100 percent post-consumer waste. You can have your cake and eat it, too,” Daly said. He pointed out that there’s a significant difference between paper products that are 100 percent recycled paper, and those that are 100 percent post-consumer waste recycled paper. “You can say you’re 100 percent recycled, but 50 percent may be from post-consumer and 50 percent may be from recycled wood sources like leftover wood pulp,” he said. One hundred percent postconsumer waste recycled paper is paper that has been used by consumers, kept out of a landfill through a recycling program, broken down and repulped (without chlorine, in EndoPrint’s case) into post-consumer waste paper. EndoPrint’s paper comes from Wisconsin — one of only two sources of 100 percent postconsumer waste recycled paper that Daly located (the other is in Connecticut). As a result of the process, Daly said it’s a little more expensive than other recycled paper, “but it’s a truly, fully recycled paper,” he said. EndoPrint gift wrap is printed at Dynagraphics in Portland, the closest place the Dalys could find that has presses big enough to print their large sheets of paper. Christmas morning is different for the Dalys now. They wrap gifts with their own paper, or choose other environmentally friendly options. “We reuse wrapping paper, we use the comics for kids’ gifts, we use whatever we can to avoid

Consider your options Here are some other ideas for greener gift-wrapping: First, try to give up the notion that holiday gifts must be wrapped in red and green, or that gift wrap has to have Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa designs and patterns. As you think about giftwrapping, remember the environmental movement’s three-R mantra: reduce (the amount of trash), reuse (containers and products) and recycle (as much as possible). • Fabric: Wrap gifts in reusable dish towels, scarves, pillowcases or pieces of fabric. Sew up simple gift bags from fabric remnants. Learn how to do Japanese fabric folding (furoshiki) from this website: www.env.go.jp/ en/focus/attach/0604035.html. If you don’t want to make your own gift bags, www .lyziwraps.com is one of many companies that makes reusable fabric bags for presents. • Tote bags from stores: The reusable tote bags for sale at stores are getting more attractive. Insert the gift into the bag, fold over the top, and secure the package with a ribbon. It’s two gifts in one. • Newspapers and magazines: The daily newspaper, the Sunday comics section, glossy magazine ads, and magazine fashion and home design articles make especially eye-catching wrapping paper. • Old maps, posters and children’s artwork — especially large paintings — can make colorful wrappings. • Recycled aluminum foil. • Leftover wallpaper. • Brown grocery bags (turned inside out) or brown mailing paper. • Cigar boxes (available for the asking or for purchase where cigars are sold). • Cereal boxes, cylindrical oatmeal boxes and other food boxes can make hip gift boxes.

Needles are yellow-green and the tree has twisted boughs.

Forest safety for kids On Dec. 5, 1998, 8-year-old Derrick Engebretson disappeared in the Rocky Point area of Klamath County when a heavy snowstorm caught him while he was looking for a Christmas tree with his father and grandfather. After an intensive hunt that lasted almost two weeks, the search for Derrick was called off, and he is still missing. A family outing means everybody gets to go, but some preparations prior to departure are needed to keep the kids safe. Here are some child safety tips from Mike Biondi, operations manager with Deschutes County Search and Rescue: • Stay together: Nobody goes anywhere alone. • Dress appropriately: “Make

sure everyone is wearing clothing that will keep them warm,” Biondi said. “Be particularly concerned about warm hats, boots and gloves, because the head, hands and feet get cold quickly.” • Wear bright-colored clothing so that everyone can be easily seen at all times. • Attach a whistle to each child, and make sure he or she knows how to use it to signal for help. The universal distress signal is three evenly spaced blasts. “A signaling device of some sort is important,” Biondi said. “After about five minutes of yelling, your voice will be gone.” • Teach children to stay put and not move around if they get separated, Biondi said, and use their whistles. “Above all, don’t panic,” he added. — Leon Pantenburg

Continued from F1 “If you want a fir, they start growing at about 5,000 feet,” Gyorgyfalvy said. “You have to watch the snow levels, to make sure you can get in and out.” Then, be prepared for the natural look. “Most people don’t realize what a natural tree will look like,” Gyorgyfalvy said. “A tree from the forest will most likely have its branches spaced further apart than a commercial tree, it probably won’t be as dense and you may have to look a long time to find one you want.” The right tools make it easier to cut a tree down. These could include a wood saw, some clippers to remove lower branches, some rope to bundle the tree for the ride home, and possibly a sled or toboggan to slide the tree back to the parking area. Another good item to have along is a tape measure. A common situation, Gyorgyfalvy said, is cutting a tree that is too large for the available space inside. Make sure to take along the necessary land navigation tools to find your way back to the parking area. These may include a map, compass, and GPS and the knowledge of how to use them. You can buy a map at Forest Service offices or ranger stations. In your vehicle, Gyorgyfalvy advises, have at least a flashlight, extra clothing, snow chains, a snow shovel, some sort of traction helper such as sand,

and emergency road flares. Taking care of the tree when you get home is important if it is not to become a fire hazard. Cut off the end of the trunk so it is level, Gyorgyfalvy said, put the tree in water and replenish the water daily. “Make sure the tree stays watered and don’t put it over a heating vent,” Gyorgyfalvy said. “Don’t let it dry out and become a fire danger.” The most popular tree species for decorating, according to the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forest “Guidelines for Collecting Your Christmas Tree” brochure, are the Douglas fir, white fir, incense cedar and lodgepole and ponderosa pines. Depending on your preference and how far you’re willing to travel, here are some of the characteristics of the five most popular trees: Douglas fir: The needles are pointed but not stiff. Douglas fir is found at higher elevations and on the western edge of the Deschutes National Forest. White fir: The needles are twisted at the base and form a flat spray, and the trees are usually found at higher elevations. Incense cedar: Needles are yellow-green and the tree has twisted boughs. The trees are found throughout the northwestern (Sisters) portion of the Deschutes National Forest. Lodgepole pine: Needles from 1 to 3 inches long, in bundles of two. The lodgepole is a very common conifer and is found throughout the forests. Ponderosa pine: Long needles, 5 to 11 inches long, in bun-

Hard to kill: indoor plants for the inept By Michael Tortorello New York Times News Service

For years now, my foyer has been a halfway house for indoor plants — that is, halfway between a cozy berth in someone else’s home and a pauper’s grave in my backyard. I killed some of these plants gladly. Before leaving Minneapolis for New York, my friend Julie bestowed on me a 12-foot-long asparagus fern with wicked spines and an anger management problem. Meanwhile, the spider plant she left seemed to drop another clone every time I slept. (Out-ofcontrol asexual reproduction is surely the stuff of nightmares.) By the time Julie moved back to Minneapolis seven years later, I’d terminated them both. Plants need water, you know. Other houseplants were beautiful — until I got my blundering hands on them. A jade plant dropped its emerald leaves, as round and smooth as river stones. A Dracaena marginata with a mop top rotted from the soil up. My mother-in-law, her rooms overflowing with verdure, passed along a parlor maple (Abutilon striatum). It had flowers like crepe paper, the color of a Cape Cod sunrise. This one I drowned. When I learned that I would be moving last August, for the first time in 11 years, I took stock of the survivors. What did I find on the radiator cover? A pair of umbrella plants that counted a dozen leaves between them. A ficus with something like psoriasis and another with a stoop. I felt pity, and I felt shame. It was time for a clean break. A month after moving into my new home, I phoned three experts to ask what new houseplants I should draw close to my bosom and adopt as my own. They suggested plants for shady windows and plants for dry winters. They shared their best tips and their favorite catalogs. They prophesied plants that cannot be killed. Their greatest hits are below — with a star next to the indestructible plant. As for the widows and orphans from the old duplex: When the moving truck pulled up, I sneaked a few in the back. The ficuses were an anniversary present from my girlfriend, and I’m too superstitious to let them go. It’s one thing to live without houseplants; it’s another to live alone.

The trick to raising Hoya carnosa variegata to adulthood, according to Uli Lorimer, the curator of native plants at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, is “to back off the water” in the winter, imitating the plant’s natural dry period. lyn Botanic Garden. After nurturing “all kinds of things in sort of sad shape” at home, Lorimer said, he “disseminated the collection to the public.” (Translation: he moved the plants to the curb.) Lorimer’s new motto: “If it’s not worth growing well, it’s not worth growing.” Digs: Perhaps only in Brooklyn — Williamsburg, to be precise — could Lorimer find a dwelling as strange as the crooked “rear house” he rents with his sister. To enter the late-19th-century residence, Lorimer must tromp through his landlord’s home, exit into a courtyard and then walk through his own front door. Wax plant (Hoya carnosa variegata): Can’t decide which window should host this sweet-flowered, thick-leafed vine? Lorimer’s specimen has sprawled some 15 feet along a bamboo pole, from one window to another. The wax plant takes its style cues from “Desperately Seeking Susan”: The new vines are hot pink; the flowers, patently fake. The secret to raising it to adulthood, Lorimer believes, is “to back off the water” in the winter, imitating the plant’s natural dry period. Croton (Codiaeum variegatum): Finally, a plant that matches everything: the whorls of brightly colored leaves can be “yellow, red, green and orange,” Lorimer said. When the shrub grows large and woody, it can practically steal your date at a party. At the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s conservatory, he said, “You can see it from 50 yards away, looking through the glass.” Try this at home: Lorimer is surely too busy to run a spa for houseplants. But he does recom-

Winter is “a hard time for plants in apartments,” he said. “It’s much dryer than people realize, especially if you have radiator heat.” From the greenhouse to your house: For ferns, he occasionally shops online at Logee’s Tropical Plants (logees.com), which can be visited in Danielson, Conn., in the northeast corner of the state. He also drops by the Black Jungle Terrarium Supply site (blackjungleterrariumsupply.com) to look at plants that are suited “to low light levels.” And for the poison dart frogs — “on sale!” Lorimer noted.

Mike Rimland The dirt: As director of business development for Costa Farms, an international wholesale nursery, Rimland, 54, racks up more than 100,000 frequent-flier miles a year finding hardy new plants to sell.

(Though he has helped to introduce dozens of commercial plant varieties, his recommendations below are widely grown cultivars.) Moth orchid (phalaenopsis): The colors and cultivars of these popular orchids may outnumber iPhone apps. The cultivar called Baldan’s Kaleidoscope is yellow with red stripes (“I’m horrible at naming colors,” Rimland said); amabilis resembles a clean white kimono. Though some consumers think of these gift-plants as disposable, with enough sunlight they will flower again and may ultimately span 2 or 3 feet. “You could keep it forever — 10, 20, 30 years,” Rimland said. Ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvata): Name aside, this native of arid Central America isn’t a true palm, Rimland said. And the burst of long, thin leaves on top looks less like Charo than Rod Stewart (in his “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” years). In any event, this plant is no diva, subsisting on weak light and occasional watering. “There’s not a lot you need to do to it,” Rimland said. Try this at home: Many gardeners will install a light-loving plant in an east- or west-facing window. But they may not place it close enough to the glass, Rimland said.

Digs: Hoover’s not-so-hot house is a “pretty boring ’60 ranch,” he said, in Lone Tree, a tiny rural town 15 miles southeast of Iowa City. (His backyard ends in a cornfield — “except this year they planted soybeans,” Hoover said.) To create a swinging plant pad, he and his spouse enclosed the three-season porch, traded the carpet for concrete and added a shower and a tub for watering. Pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius): Screw pines like this pandan used to be popular in ’70s houseplant books. “I don’t know whether they became uncool,” Hoover said. Pandans may grow as tall as their owners, and the oldest leaves will drop aerial roots. Popular in Southeast Asian cuisine, the toasted leaves give off a “popcorn-cake-caramel corn kind of smell.” (Star) Strawberry begonia (Saxifraga stolonifera): The botanical

name sounds like a Mary Poppins tongue-twister, and the “round, grayish, scalloped” leaves are nothing special, Hoover said. He came to appreciate the survival instinct of this tiny plant when he noticed it sending out runners at the nursery — on the cold floor, beneath a table, with no obvious water or light. Try this at home: Hoover likes to improve the drainage for plants like cactuses and succulents — “stuff that’s prone to rot if it gets too wet,” he said — by mixing one-eighth-inch-diameter clay pellets with the soil. He blends about one part clay pellets (sometimes called aquatic soil or soil conditioner) with 10 parts potting soil — or, say, a handful in a 6-inch pot. From the greenhouse to your house: Hoover accumulates most of his plants these days in swaps with his blog readers. But he window shops at Glasshouse Works (glasshouseworks.com), an Ohio-based grower.

Hearty and simple Cold enough for your dog salmon chowder to dress warmly? Depends By Julie Rothman The Baltimore Sun

Don Neuman, of Longview, Wash., was looking for a recipe he has lost for salmon chowder. He said that the recipe came from the label on a can of VegAll back in the 1950s. As he remembers, the chowder was made with canned salmon and also called for a can of VegAll and other ingredients he cannot recall. After some research, I learned that Veg-All is the brand name for canned mixed vegetables that has been around since the mid1920s. The product is still being made today. Unfortunately, a search of the Veg-All website did not turn up a recipe for salmon chowder. However, I was able to locate many simple salmon chowder recipes that sounded as if they might come close to what Mr. Neuman was looking for. I tested and modified a recipe I found on www.tastebook.com, submitted by Denise Pettiford-Bulluck. The major change I made to her recipe was to substitute

a high-quality canned salmon for fresh cooked salmon. The resulting soup was hearty and flavorful and, hopefully, comes close to what Mr. Neuman was wanting to make again.

RECIPE REQUEST: Alta Folkers, of Olin, Iowa, is looking for an “old plain recipe for corn relish.” The relish was something her mother used to make from scratch when she was growing up. If she remembers correctly, her mother’s recipe did not contain red or green peppers and probably was German in origin.

RECIPE FINDER

If you are looking for a recipe or can answer a request, write to Julie Rothman, Recipe Finder, The Baltimore Sun, 501 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21278. If you send more than one recipe, please put each on a separate piece of paper with your name, address and daytime phone number. Please list the ingredients in order of use and note the number of servings each recipe makes.

SALMON CHOWDER Makes 8 servings. 1 (14.75-oz) can salmon or 2 C cooked cubed salmon 2 C diced peeled potatoes 1½ C frozen mixed vegetables 1 lg onion, chopped ½ tsp celery seed (optional) 2 C water 1 C tomato juice or 6 plum

tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped 3 TBS butter 3 TBS flour ½ tsp salt ½ tsp freshly ground pepper 2 C milk Fresh chopped parsley or dill for garnish

Remove skin and bones from canned salmon. In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, combine the potatoes, vegetables, onion, celery seed, water and tomato juice or plum tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add to vegetable mixture. Stir in reserved salmon; heat through before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill.

MARTHA STEWART

Q: A:

When are winter clothes or shoes necessary for dogs? In the frigid days of winter, outdoor gear can be as practical and comforting to your dog as your parka is to you. Canines have been domesticated for thousands of years. Many breeds have little natural protection against the cold. How much cold your pet can tolerate depends on her size and the thickness of her coat, among other factors. Some breeds, such as huskies and malamutes, are in their element at low temperatures. At the other end of the spectrum, thin, small, shorthaired dogs, such as Chihuahuas and Italian greyhounds, cannot withstand chilly weather and should be dressed in either a coat or a sweater. Many common breeds — golden or Labrador retrievers, for instance — fall somewhere in between. Watch your dog for signs of discomfort. Is she shivering? Whining? She’s probably cold. Get her inside and have her fitted for a coat that covers her back and abdomen. Even if your pooch seems fine, use your level of comfort to gauge: If it’s cold enough for you to add a layer to your usual winter outdoor attire, your dog probably needs one, too. Keep an especially close watch on females that have recently had puppies, older or arthritic pets, and dogs without much hair on their underbellies. While dog booties also provide protection against the cold, their main purpose is guarding against injury; even dogs bred to pull sleds can benefit from them. Snow and sharp ice can cut the pads of dogs’ feet, and salt can cause painful stinging. Stepping on antifreeze is also a risk; the

When it’s cold enough outside to prompt you to suit up in your own winter coat for a walk, help your dog stay warm with a coat or sweater.

Q: A: Ruby Washington New York Times News Service

A single recipe can yield dramatically different results depending on the kind of flour you use. Try all-purpose flour or cake flour for a sturdy yet tender layer cake. substance is toxic, and licking it off can harm your pet. If you don’t outfit her with shoes, wipe her paw pads well when you get home. And don’t let that nice doggie parka give you a false sense of security. According to the American Animal Hospital Association, pets lose most of their body heat from the bottoms of their feet, their ears and their respiratory tract. So even a well-dressed pup will catch a chill if she stays outside too long.

What are the differences among the types of flour in the baking aisle? Most flours start out as kernels of wheat, but the finished products vary greatly, with each type best suited to a specific application. The one you use will affect the structure, texture, flavor and appearance of your baked goods. Protein content distinguishes different kinds of wheat flour. The more protein it contains, the tougher the baked good will be (and the more gluten it will contain — partial proteins form gluten when the flour is mixed with liquid). By making the right choice, you can create crisp cookies, tender cakes, crusty baguettes or hearty whole-wheat breads. All-purpose flour is the most common. It has enough protein to support a sturdy layer cake but not so much that the result is tough or heavy. As its name suggests, it is appropriate for cakes, cookies, piecrusts and more. Cake flour has less protein than all-purpose flour, so it produces exceptionally soft, vel-

vety cakes. In its place, do not use self-rising cake flour — it contains baking powder and will throw off your measurements. In a pinch, substitute 3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch for 1 cup cake flour. At the other end of the spectrum is bread flour. It contains the most protein, shoring up dough as it rises, resulting in lofty, chewy loaves. All-purpose, cake and bread flours are refined, meaning the wheat germ and bran have been removed. Keep them in airtight containers stored in a cool, dark place for up to a year. Wholewheat flour, on the other hand, contains every part of the wheat kernel. It lends a rich, nutty flavor to baked goods and provides a healthy dose of fiber, as well as nutrients such as selenium, potassium and magnesium. Because bran and wheat germ contain oil, flour made from whole wheat turns rancid fairly quickly. Refrigerate it in an airtight container for a few weeks or freeze it for up to a year. To make your favorite cookies, muffins or quick breads more healthful, substitute wholewheat flour for a portion of the all-purpose flour: Start with one part whole wheat to two parts all-purpose, and experiment until you find the right balance of taste and texture.
