Lawmakers reworking emissions bill decried by local officials

Why the low flow in the Deschutes?

Irrigation is partly to blame, but thin snowpack is a longer-term concern

Accused of embezzling from Cascade Healthcare, Shelly Brooks faces similar charges in Michigan case

By Cindy Powers The Bulletin

Legislators are scrambling this week to scale back a greenhouse gas emissions bill criticized by local officials — including at least two Bend city councilors — representing the cities it affects.

Councilor Jeff Eager sent an e-mail to area legislators Tuesday saying Senate Bill 1059’s emission-reduction goals are “completely unrealistic” and “would require draconian land use and transaction measures which would cripple Bend’s already suffering economy.”

The bill requires, among other things, that Bend and five other cities roll back greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2035.

Eager said that goal may be impossible for Bend, which has quadrupled in size since 1990.

And he said the Legislature’s focus, while well-intentioned, has strayed from the main reason lawmakers are holding a February special session in the first place: Oregon’s struggling economy.

“I mean, the state’s number one problem, and certainly Bend’s number one problem, is employment and the economy, and I think, if anything, this bill will not help those issues and may actually harm employment and the economy,” Eager said Wednesday.

Low water flows in the Deschutes River reveal the channel and sediments at the bottom of Bend’s Mirror Pond, seen from the Drake Park footbridge. The low water flows are due to an irrigation diversion and a leaky dam.

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

Low flows in the Deschutes River have exposed mud in Mirror Pond and boulders across from McKay Park, but water officials say the river level should be back up by the weekend. Still, the relatively dry winter and thin snowpack could lead to a difficult summer for fish, farmers and others dependent on water flows.

This week, the Central Oregon Irrigation District is conducting a regular stock run to provide water for livestock, diverting about 220 cubic feet per second of water from the Deschutes River upstream of Bend, said Steve Johnson, manager with the irrigation district.

That’s about 40 percent of the water that was flowing into Bend last weekend. Once the stock run ends on Friday, and the water is no longer diverted into a canal, the exposed rocks and mud should be

underwater again.

“Over the weekend, people will see (the Deschutes) bounce back up,” Johnson said.

Mirror Pond is also shallow and muddy this week because of leaks in the dam at its base, said Kyle Gorman, region manager with the Oregon Water Resources Department.

“It leaks more water than is flowing in the river, that’s why the pond level drops,” Gorman said.

In addition, the water level in the Deschutes River has generally been low this year due to a lack of precipitation and cold temperatures that prevent much runoff into the area’s rivers, he said.

“This has been a dry year, and so the Little Deschutes, which plays a large role in the types of flows in Bend, has been extremely low this winter,” Gorman said. “We just have not seen any kind of runoff.”

Snowpack The snowpack in the Upper Deschutes and Crooked River basins is lower than normal so far this year, at 63 percent of average.

Theft charges pile up for Bend woman

Attitude shift may bode well for ending ‘don’t ask’

By Ernesto Londono The Washington Post

BAGHDAD — Days before a deployment to Iraq last year, the 26-year-old soldier’s sergeant told his troops that they would get to know one another pretty well over the next few months.

“I’m in trouble,” the specialist remembered thinking. He feared comrades would find out he is gay. Worse, he said, they could figure out that he has been dating another soldier in the combat arms battalion for more than five years.

The reaction during the soldier’s yearlong deployment

A woman awaiting trial in Bend for allegedly stealing from her employer is now facing similar charges for workplace embezzlement in another state.

Shelly Brooks, the former com munications director for Cascade Healthcare C o m m u n i t y, the parent company of St. Charles hospitals in Bend and Redmond, Shelly Brooks was arrested in August 2008 on suspicion of using hospital credit cards and checks to make nearly $20,000 in fraudulent payments.

Brooks, now 37, pleaded not guilty to one count each of firstdegree aggravated theft and first-degree theft, both felonies, and one count of negotiating a bad check, a misdemeanor.

While her case was pending in Deschutes County Circuit Court, Brooks moved to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and took a job with Northstar Health System, a company that operates a small hospital and a handful of medical clinics.

Between March and August 2009, according to officials in Iron County, Mich., Brooks allegedly embezzled between $20,000 and $50,000 from her new employer. She has been charged with 16 counts of forgery-related crimes and one count of embezzlement, said Sara Starr, a legal secretary for Iron County Prosecuting Attorney Melissa Powell Weston.

Brooks also has been charged in Michigan with one count of using a computer to commit a crime, a misdemeanor.

Powell Weston was not available for comment Wednesday, and Brooks’ Michigan attorney, Geoffrey Lawrence, could not be reached for comment.

WASHINGTON — As millions of people along the East Coast hole up in their snowbound homes, the two sides in the climate-change debate are seizing on the mounting drifts to bolster their arguments.

Global warming skeptics are using the record-setting snows to mock those who warn of dangerous human-driven climate change — this looks more like global cooling, they taunt. Most climate scientists respond that the ferocious storms are consistent with forecasts that a heating planet will produce more frequent, more intense weather events.

but my mother made me do it.

“The first year, I didn’t like it, because my friends at the regular high school were having pep rallies and actual fun, while I had all this homework. But when I look back at my middle school friends, I see how many of them got pregnant or do drugs or dropped out.

And now I’m excited, because I’m a year ahead.”

IRVINE, Calif. — When the shooter burst through the door, the students were ready.

They jumped over and around tables. They rushed the gunman. They screamed and tossed anything within reach; backpacks, books, pens. In less than five seconds, the would-be killer was on the floor, powerless to carry out his planned — and staged — massacre.

“How many shots did you get off?” the guest instructor asked after the simulated attack in a University of California, Irvine, classroom.

“Two,” the shooter said.

“How many people did you hit?”

“Maybe one. A head shot. I got off one good shot.”

Alon Stivi, the guest instructor, will take that any day. One death; only one.

Looking ahead

An expert in his field

Because most of the nation’s early college high schools are still new, it is too soon to say whether strapped states will be impressed enough to justify the extra costs of college tuition, college textbooks and academic support, A recent report from the nonprofit Jobs for the Future found that in 2008, early-college schools that had been open for more than four years had a high school graduation rate of 92 percent — and four out of 10 grads had earned at least a year of college credit.

With a careful sequence of courses, including ninth-grade algebra, and attention to skills like note-taking, the early-college high schools accelerate students so that they arrive in college needing less of the remedial work that stalls so many low-income and first-generation students.

“When we put kids on a college campus, we see them change totally, because they’re integrated with college students, and they don’t want to look immature,” said Michael Webb, associate vice president of Jobs for the Future.

And their aspirations are running high. Precious, for example, is aiming for medical school. She was disappointed last semester to get three B’s and two A’s. “That’s not what I was hoping for,” she said, “and I’m going to work harder this semester.”

Stivi knows about death.

The married father of four has about him the air of mysterious tough guy — a vibe underscored by an accent that is difficult to pin down.

Stivi was born in France and raised in Israel. Before coming to the States more than 20 years ago, he spent 4½ years in Israel’s Special Forces unit, including nearly a year in Lebanon during the 1982 Arab-Israel War. “I have personally witnessed soldiers, innocent civilians and children injured, maimed and killed at war, and in several terrorist attacks in the region, including a suicide bombing.”

Now, at 48, he’s a recognized expert on counterterrorism, violence prevention, security, and hand-to-hand combat.

Stivi also has protected billionaires like Warren Buffett and politicians including Arnold Schwarzenegger.

So what’s he doing with all this expertise on violence and death and security?

Going to school.

He’s launching a special training program to make students and office workers safer even from the most extreme forms of violence. “Schools are in denial and disorganized (about coping with violence),” Stivi says.

Precious Holt, center, studies at SandHoke Early College High School in Pinehurst, N.C. Programs in which high school students take some college classes used to be aimed at affluent, overachieving students, but at places like SandHoke, which enrolls only students whose parents don’t have college degrees, the goal is to keep at-risk students in school by blurring the line between high school and college.

North Carolina model is spreading across the country

By Tamar Lewin New York Times News Service

RAEFORD, N.C. — Precious Holt, a 12th-grader with dangly earrings and a SpongeBob pillow, climbs on the yellow school bus and promptly falls asleep for the hour-plus ride to Sandhills Community College.

When the bus arrives, she checks in with a guidance counselor and heads off to a day of college classes, blending with older classmates until 4 p.m., when she and the other seniors from SandHoke Early College High School gather for the ride home.

There is a payoff for the long bus rides: The 48 SandHoke seniors are in a fast-track program that allows them to earn their high-school diploma and up to two years of college credit in five years — completely free.

A change in focus Until recently, most programs like this were aimed at affluent, overachieving students — a way to keep them challenged and give them a head start on college work. But the goal is quite different at SandHoke, which enrolls only students whose parents do not have college degrees.

Here, and at North Carolina’s other 70 early college schools, the goal is to keep at-risk students in school by eliminating the divide between high school and college.

“We don’t want the kids who will do well if you drop them in Timbuktu,” said Lakisha Rice, the principal. “We want the ones who need our kind of small setting.”

Results have been impressive.

Not all students at North Carolina’s early college high schools earn two full years of college credit before they graduate — but few drop out.

“Last year, half our early-col-

lege high schools had zero dropouts, and that’s just unprecedented for North Carolina, where only 62 percent of our high school students graduate after four years,” said Tony Habit, the president of the nonprofit North Carolina New Schools Project.

Different approaches to a common goal While North Carolina leads the way in early-college high schools, the model is spreading in California, New York, Texas and elsewhere, where such schools are seen as a promising approach to reducing the high school dropout rate and increasing the share of degree holders — two major goals of the Obama administration.

More than 200 of the schools are part of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s Early College High School Initiative, and dozens of others, scattered throughout the nation, have sprung up as projects of individual school districts.

Most of the early college high schools are on college campuses, but some stand alone. Some are four years, some five. Most serve a low-income student body that is largely black or Latino. But all are small, and all offer free college credits as part of the high school program.

“In 27 years as a college president, this is just about the most exciting thing I’ve been involved in,” said Rick Dempsey, the president of Sandhills. “(The students’) performance has been so startling that you see what high expectations can do.”

Initially, the prospect of two years of college at no cost was less appealing to Precious than to her mother, Simone Dean. “I didn’t want to do it, because my middle school friends weren’t applying,” Precious said. “I cried,

A sobering message for school officials Stivi doesn’t want to sound alarmist, but he’s got a message that isn’t reassuring. “No matter how quickly first responders arrive, they simply won’t be there within the first 10 minutes — when most casualties occur.”

He is saying this to a crowd of about 300 in a UC-Irvine class called Violence and Society, taught by Ray Novaco, a professor of psychology and social behavior. The class teaches school officials what to do before, during and after a violent incident.

Called ACT Cert, for Attack Countermeasures Training Certification, the 25-hour course is tailored to faculty, staff and school security. It launches nationwide next month, and typically will cost $2,500 per person.

Stivi has consulted with schools for years on safety issues, but believes a standardized online training program is long overdue.

Survival skills Cowering under tables, the students are sitting ducks.

When the gunman bursts through the doors, he methodically walks around the room — picking off victims one at a time. It’s a massacre.

In a demonstration following a recent lecture, Stivi shows what not to do — sit and cower.

He also shows how to survive — to act as a group and apply the tactics he terms “collective resistance.”

“There’s strength in numbers,” he says. “You have the element of surprise.”

The Irvine classroom has two doors. Stivi shows students to crouch low while running out the back door after making sure the coast is clear. He shows them to stand against a wall, body low, to knock the shooter over when he enters the room.

He shows them how to use a table to disrupt a shooter’s line of sight, and he teaches other ways to distract a would-be killer — even for a few seconds.

“Sometimes,” Stivi says, “a few seconds is all you need.”

For many families, the burden of rising college costs is eased by aid

By Daniel de Vise The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — If the $50,000-per-year price of a prestigious private college looks unreal to most families, well, it’s not real. At least, not for most students.

The sticker price of private college has soared in the past five years, feeding a common perception that the most expensive schools are beyond the reach of most families. But net price — the amount the average student

actually pays — has declined.

The higher education marketplace increasingly resembles a mall on the day after Thanksgiving. The published price of a college education has spiraled far above what the average student pays after subtracting grants, tuition discounts and tax benefits.

Published tuition, fees and living expenses at private nonprofit colleges average $35,640 in the 2009-10 academic year, according to the definitive annual report Trends in College Pricing by

the nonprofit College Board. But net price averages $21,200. Adjusted for inflation, one has gone up. The other has gone down.

“The price, on the surface, is more than a middle-income family can pay,” said Alison Rabil, assistant vice provost and director of financial aid at Duke University. “But we’re not asking families to pay that amount.”

College finance has grown increasingly complex. The phenomenon of rising sticker price is partly a marketing trick, partly a

tool to redistribute the costs of college across income levels.

Tuition and fees have risen by nearly one-third at private nonprofit colleges since fall 2004, or 15 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars. But aid has risen faster.

The difference between sticker price and net price “may be the single most misunderstood fact” in higher education, said David Warren, the president of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities.

“Net tuition is only 45 percent of

the advertised tuition. That’s a pretty significant difference.”

Net price has declined by a few hundred dollars among private nonprofit colleges in the past five years, in inflation-adjusted dollars, according to the College Board analysis. Net price rose slightly in the 2009-10 academic year because of the economic downturn, as grant aid trailed tuition increases for the first time in several years, according to Sandy Baum, a College Board researcher.

T S Officials release conflicting figures on death toll

By Michelle Faul The Associated Press

TITANYEN, Haiti — Haiti issued wildly conflicting death tolls for the Jan. 12 earthquake on Wednesday, adding to confusion about how many people died — and to suspicion that nobody really knows.

A day after Communications Minister Marie-Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue raised the official death toll to 230,000, her office put out a statement quoting President Rene Preval as saying 270,000 bodies had been hastily buried by the government following the earthquake.

A press officer withdrew the statement, saying there was an error, but re-issued it within minutes. Later Wednesday, the ministry said that due to a typo, the number should have read 170,000.

Even that didn’t clear things up. In the late afternoon, Preval and Lassegue appeared together at the government’s temporary headquarters.

Preval, speaking English, told journalists that the number was 170,000, apparently referring to the number of bodies contained in mass graves.

Lassegue interrupted him in French, giving a number lower than she had given the previous day: “No, no, the official number is 210,000.” Preval dismissed her. “Oh, she doesn’t know what she’s talking about,” he said, in English.

Whatever the death toll, there is no doubt it is one of the highest in a modern disaster.

A third of Haiti’s 9 million people were crowded into the chaotic capital when the quake struck. Many were preparing to leave their offices or schools. Some 250,000 houses and 30,000 commercial buildings collapsed, according to government estimates, many crushing people inside.

Iran disrupts Internet service in effort to thwart protest New York Times News Service In an effort to disrupt communications and head off huge opposition demonstrations planned for today, Iranian authorities on Wednesday drastically slowed Internet service in Iran and shut down text messaging services, and an official said that Gmail, the Google e-mail service, would be blocked.

It was not immediately clear if Gmail would be blocked permanently, but users inside Iran said that because of the extremely slow speed of Internet service, they had been unable to open Gmail or the Yahoo e-mail service for the past week.

The opposition movement has relied heavily on the Internet, using text messaging, e-mail and videos to spread information about the demonstrations and the crackdown by the government.

Google confirmed “a sharp drop in traffic” that could not be attributed to equipment failure on its end. “Whenever we encounter blocks in our services, we try to resolve them as quickly as possible,” a spokeswoman, Jill Hazelbaker, said, “because we strongly believe that people everywhere should have the ability to communicate freely online. Sadly, sometimes it is not within our control.”

Study links child obesity, early death extent to which body mass index, glucose tolerance, blood pressure and total cholesterol levels predicted premature death.

By 2003, 559 participants had died, including 166 who died of causes other than accidents and homicides, like cardiovascular disease, infections, cancer, diabetes, alcohol poisoning or drug overdose and a large number who died of alcoholic liver disease, which the study’s authors suggested might be exacerbated by diabetes.

Adults who had the highest body mass index scores as children were 2.3 times as likely to have died early as those with the lowest scores, and those with the highest glucose levels were

73 percent as likely to have died prematurely.

“This really points a finger at impaired glucose tolerance, or pre-diabetes, in ways we have not seen before,” said Edward Gregg, who is with the diabetes branch of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and wrote an editorial accompanying the article.

“The message here is that if you take your kid to the doctor and the doctor says, ‘Well, their blood pressure is OK, their cholesterol is OK and their sugar’s OK,’ the kid who’s obese still warrants our attention,” said Dr. Peter Belamarich, chief of specialty medicine at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore in New York.

“I’ve seen a remarkable shift. People now see that it’s necessary to have a strong food stamp program.”

Heaviest youngsters more than twice as likely to die before 55

By Roni Caryn Rabin New York Times News Service

A rare study that tracked thousands of children through adulthood found the heaviest youngsters were more than twice as likely as the thinnest to die prematurely, before age 55, of illness or a self-inflicted injury.

Youngsters with a condition called pre-diabetes were at almost double the risk of dying before 55, and those with high blood pressure were at some increased risk. But obesity was the factor most closely associated with an early death, researchers said.

The study, published today

in The New England Journal of Medicine, analyzed data gathered from Pima and Tohono O’odham Indians, whose rates of obesity and Type 2 diabetes soared decades before weight problems became widespread among other Americans. It is one of the largest studies to have tracked children for several decades after detailed information on weight and risk factors like high cholesterol were gathered.

“This suggests,” said Helen Looker, senior author of the paper, “that obesity in children, even prepubescent children, may have very serious long-term

health effects through midlife — that there is something serious being set in motion by obesity at early ages.” Looker added, “We all expect to get beyond 55 these days.”

Nearly 1 in 3 American children is now considered to be either overweight or obese, and this week, the first lady, Michelle Obama, kicked off a campaign intended to end childhood obesity.

The new study analyzed data gathered about 4,857 non-diabetic American Indian children born between 1945 and 1984, when the children were 11 years old on average, and assessed the

Once stigmatized, food stamps find new acceptance, new users Policy changes, recession’s effects lead to resurgence of aid program

By John F. Burns New York Times News Service

By Jason Deparle and Robert Gebeloff New York Times News Service

A decade ago, New York City officials were so reluctant to give out food stamps, they made people register one day and return the next just to get an application. The welfare commissioner said the program caused dependency and the poor were “better off” without it.

Now, the city urges the needy to seek aid (in languages from Albanian to Yiddish). Neighborhood groups recruit clients at churches and grocery stores, with materials that all but proclaim a civic duty to apply — to “help New York farmers, grocers and businesses.” There is even a program on Rikers Island to enroll inmates leaving the jail.

“Applying for food stamps is easier than ever,” city posters say.

A turnaround The same is true nationwide.

After a U-turn in the politics of poverty, food stamps, a program once scorned as “welfare,” enjoys broad new support. Following deep cuts in the 1990s, Congress reversed course to expand eligibility, cut red tape and burnish the program’s image, with a special effort to enroll the working poor. These changes, combined with soaring unemployment, have pushed enrollment to record highs, with 1 in 8 Americans now getting aid.

“I’ve seen a remarkable shift,” said U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, RInd., and a prominent food stamp supporter. “People now see that

Stephen Crowley / New York Times News Service

Workers in New York City apply to receive food stamps in November. Since Mayor Michael Bloomberg took office, city food stamp rolls have doubled. it’s necessary to have a strong food stamp program.”

The revival began a decade ago, after tough welfare laws chased millions of people from the cash rolls, many into lowwage jobs as fast-food workers, maids and nursing aides. Newly sympathetic officials saw food stamps as a way to help them.

For states, the program had another appeal: the benefits are federally paid.

But support also turned on chance developments, including natural disasters (which showed the program’s value in emergencies) and the rise of plastic benefit cards (which eased stigma and fraud). The program has commercial allies, in farmers and grocery stores, and it got an unexpected boost from President George W. Bush, whose food stamp administrator, Eric Bost,

proved an ardent supporter.

“I assure you, food stamps is not welfare,” Bost said in a recent interview.

Is it a good thing?

Still, some critics see it as welfare in disguise and advocate more restraints. So far their voices have been muted, unlike in the 1990s when members of Congress likened permissive welfare laws to feeding alligators and wolves. But last month, a Republican candidate for governor in South Carolina, Andre Bauer, criticized food stamps by saying his grandmother “told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why?

Because they breed.”

Bauer, the lieutenant governor, apologized for his phrasing but said, “somebody has to have the

gumption to talk about the cycle of dependency.”

The drive to enroll the needy can be seen in the case of Monica Bostick-Thomas, 45, a Harlem widow who works part-time as a school crossing guard. Since her husband died three years ago, she has scraped by on an annual income of about $15,000.

But she did not seek help until she got a call from the Food Bank of New York City, one of the city’s outreach partners. Last year, she balked, doubting she qualified.

This year, when the group called again, she agreed to apply.

“I’m not saying I go hungry,” Bostick-Thomas said at the group’s office. “But I can’t always eat what I want.”

A worker projected a benefit of $147 a month. “That’s going to help!” she said. “I wouldn’t have gone and applied on my own.”

Blagojevich asks for ‘full airing’ of tapes

By Jeff Coen Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been known to joke that he’s not exactly a constitutional scholar, teasing himself for attending Pepperdine University in California and spending more time on the beach than at the law library.

But on Wednesday, he cited his more than 20 years as a lawyer in saying he understood what he was doing after his attorneys asked a federal judge to allow a jury at trial to hear any and all of the 500 hours of undercover recordings made by the FBI. Blagojevich’s lawyers wrote that he is “desirous that the recordings be heard in open court by the jury, believing as he does that a full airing of the recordings

will establish his innocence of every count in the indictment.”

Most public-corruption defendants try their best to block undercover tapes from trial, but Blagojevich has embraced the recordings.

Only snippets of the tapes are laid out in the indictment chargingBlago- Former Illinois jevich with try- Gov.

Some of his taped comments would appear to be damning, including his notorious reference to the Senate seat

as “(expletive) golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for (expletive) nothing.”

But following his not-guilty plea Wednesday to a revised indictment, Blagojevich told reporters that hearing all of his statements in context will show a jury that he’s done nothing wrong. He challenged prosecutors to join in the motion if they are on the side of truth and justice.

“And if this was a crime spree like you claim it was, then don’t hide behind technicalities, play all

the tapes,” he said in reference to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald announcing Blagojevich’s arrest in December 2008 by alleging the then-governor had been on a “political corruption crime spree.”

Prosecutors declined to comment.

LONDON — The British government lost a protracted court battle on Wednesday to protect secret U.S. intelligence information about the treatment of a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, and immediately published details of what it called the “cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment” administered to the prisoner by U.S. officials.

The seven paragraphs published on the Foreign Office Web site summarized secret information provided by U.S. intelligence officials to Britain’s security service, MI5, on the treatment of Binyam Mohamed, a 31-year-old Ethiopian. Mohamed moved to Britain as a teenager and left in 2000 for Pakistan, where he was arrested in 2002 on suspicion of terrorist links.

Under U.S. pressure, Foreign Office lawyers had sought for more than a year to prevent publication of the information. Citing warnings from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, among others, they argued that the summary’s publication could cause irrevocable damage to intelligence-sharing between the United States and Britain.

The newly released document said that while Mohamed had been in U.S. custody before reaching Guantanamo he had been subjected to “continuous sleep deprivation,” was shackled during interrogations and was exposed to “threats and inducements.”

It also said that he had been kept on a suicide watch and cited that as evidence that the treatment was causing him “significant mental stress and suffering.”

Water

Brooks

Continued from A1 Water managers are still hoping for a wet February and March, he said, but the current forecast for the summer calls for river flows in the basin that are between 55 and 75 percent of normal.

“We still have time, but statistically, it’s getting harder and harder to make up that difference,” he said.

Because the Deschutes River is fed by reservoirs that the water managers can tap into through the summer, making up for the lack of natural flows, Bend residents shouldn’t notice that much of a difference in the flow of the river through the city this summer, he said.

But for other waterways like Whychus Creek and Tumalo Creek, which don’t have stored water available behind a dam, there could be low flows this summer, he said.

That’s not good news for fish in those creeks, said Ryan Houston with the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council, since lower water flows mean poorer water quality and higher temperatures — colder water is best for the fish.

And irrigators that depend on creeks like Tumalo and Whychus could get less water this summer, Gorman said. With less water, they might only be able to get one cutting of hay instead of two, irrigate fewer acres or have to make other cutbacks.

Even irrigators drawing from the Deschutes River will coordinate schedules and timing to use as little water as possible from the reservoirs, Johnson said.

“You just want to manage a little bit tighter, as best you can, with the demand that your patrons have,” he said.

Wickiup Reservoir should fill this year, he said. But if a dry summer leads to irrigation districts drawing down the reservoir significantly, it will take a much snowier winter to fill it up again to get sufficient water for summer 2011.

“It has this ripple effect into next winter,” Johnson said.

Some sections of the Deschutes River could see a boost in water flows this summer compared with previous ones, he said. Because of projects to increase efficiency by replacing leaky open canals with pipes, Central Oregon Irrigation District and Swalley Irrigation District will have to divert less — and leave an additional 25 cfs or so in the river downstream of Bend, Johnson said.

And not everyone is worried about the relatively dry winter.

Dennis Oliphant, the owner of Sun Country Raft Tours, said because of the release of water from the reservoirs, the Deschutes River always has good rafting opportunities.

“We’re not concerned in the slightest,” Oliphant said. “We’ve been doing this for 32 years, and we’ve never had a year when we didn’t have sufficient water to provide a good product.”

Still, dry conditions across the Northwest are causing problems for others.

The Bonneville Power Administration had to reduce its estimate for how much revenue it will produce at its hydropower facilities this year, according to a news release from the agency, since less water flowing down rivers in the Columbia basin means fewer turns of the turbines that generate electricity. The amount of runoff at The Dalles this year is expected to be the lowest level since 2001.

The BPA now expects to lose about $6 million, instead of making $232 million, as officials had predicted in October.

Continued from A1 Bruce Rampage, the CEO of Northstar Health System, confirmed Brooks had worked for his company in a development-related position, but he would not say if she was still an employee.

Rampage declined to comment on whether his company had run a background check on Brooks before hiring her.

Brooks worked for Cascade Healthcare Community from January to June 2008.

Brooks has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges in Michigan, and the case is scheduled for trial May 25 in Iron County Trial Court.

Brooks cannot leave the state except for court appearances on other matters, Starr said.

Court records from Deschutes County indicate Brooks returned to Bend for court appearances, including one in May, when she entered not guilty pleas on the charges.

In September, Brooks’ Bend attorney, Brendon Alexander, filed court papers indicating Brooks was ready to settle the case.

In the documents, Alexander notes Brooks was living in Michigan, with the permission of the Deschutes County Circuit Court. He writes that the state alleges Brooks engaged in “30 to 40 fraudulent financial transactions, including various credit card charges and check payments,” but argues some charges were mistakes.

“Defendant maintains that some of the transactions involved innocent mistakes on her behalf and that she was authorized to enter into other transactions in the scope of her employment,” he wrote.

Deputy District Attorney Jason Kropf, who is prosecuting the case, could not be reached for comment.

A settlement conference on the matter is scheduled for Friday in Deschutes County Circuit Court.

Alexander said Wednesday in a voice mail message that he could not comment on details of the case.

“We would certainly like to achieve some kind of settlement so we don’t have to go through a fairly complex trial,” he said.

Susan Craig walks her dogs through Forest Park in the Queens borough of New York on Wednesday. The second snowstorm to sweep across the Northeast in less than a week played havoc with the routines of everyone who did not simply stay home.

After a slow start, a storm that exceeds expectations

By James Barron New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — For all the warnings and the ominouslooking colors on the television weather maps, for all the jokes about a “snowpocalypse,” only light snow was falling when most New Yorkers turned out the lights and went to bed on Tuesday.

By the time they woke up on Wednesday, the second blustery snowstorm to sweep across the Northeast in less than a week had made its way into the New York area, and officials had closed schools, courts and the U.N. headquarters. The wind was swirling, and already slushy streets were flirting with turning slippery and treacherous. Still, in many places, it did not look all that bad.

Climate Continued from A1 But some independent climate experts say the blizzards in the Northeast no more prove that the planet is cooling than the lack of snow in Vancouver or the downpours in Southern California prove that it is warming.

As an illustration of their point of view, the family of Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., a leading climate skeptic in Congress, built a 6-foot-tall igloo on Capitol Hill and put a cardboard sign on top that read “Al Gore’s New Home.”

The extreme weather, Inhofe said by e-mail, reinforced doubts about scientists’ conclusion that global warming was “unequivocal” and most likely caused by human activity.

Nonsense, responded Joseph Romm, a climate-change expert and former Energy Department official who writes about climate issues at the liberal Center for American Progress. “Ideologues in the Senate keep pushing the anti-scientific disinformation that big snowstorms are evidence against human-caused global warming,” Romm wrote on Wednesday.

It is perhaps not coincidental that the snowstorm scuffle

But the storm, described by the National Weather Service as a northeaster that built up tremendous power while churning off the mid-Atlantic coast, saved its worst for a late-day punch. It delivered a messy mix — enchanting heavy snow in some places; menacing, invisible ice in others — driven by relentless wind.

“It’s the dynamics of the atmosphere,” said John Cristantello, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “That’s just the way it’s playing out.”

By day’s end, the storm was a midwinter diversion in Manhattan, a headache in some suburban areas and a matter of serious concern farther south. States of emergency remained in effect from Virginia to New Jersey, where Gov. Christopher Christie added seven counties in south-

ern New Jersey to the list.

In the heavily traveled territory between New York and Washington, no one was going anywhere fast. Several major airlines, including Southwest and Continental, said they had canceled many if not all of their Wednesday flights from East Coast airports. The online service Flightstats counted more than 5,900 canceled flights nationwide on Wednesday and said 518 flights scheduled for today had already been canceled.

At the three major airports in the New York area, flights were “very minimal,” said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airports.

On the ground, New Jersey Transit cut back on its service, combining some train runs and

suspending all bus service by 7 p.m. The DeCamp line, which runs buses to towns in Essex County including Nutley, Bloomfield and Kearny, canceled departures from Manhattan at 6 p.m.

In Pennsylvania, Gov. Edward Rendell closed some highways to all but essential traffic, and the speed limit on the Pennsylvania Turnpike was cut to 45 mph. In the nation’s capital — still struggling to get going again after a brutal storm over the weekend — side streets remained unplowed and federal offices remained closed.

As if Wednesday’s storm were not enough, forecasters warned that more misery was on the way: Another storm with heavy snow could rumble into the New York area on Monday.

is playing out against a background of recent climate controversies: In recent months, globalwarming critics have assailed a 2007 report by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and have claimed that e-mail messages and documents plucked from a server at a climate research center in Britain raise doubts about the academic integrity of some climate scientists.

ries more moisture.

“Of course,” he wrote on his blog Wednesday as new snows produced white-out conditions in much of the Eastern half of the country, “both climate-change contrarians and climate-change scientists agree that no single weather event can be blamed on climate change.

“However,” he continued, “one can ‘load the dice’ in favor of events that used to be rare — or unheard of — if the climate is changing to a new state.”

Fodder for critics Earlier this week, Rush Limbaugh and other conservative commentators made light of the fact that the announcement of the creation of a new federal climate service on Monday had to be conducted by conference call, rather than news conference, because the federal government was shuttered by the snowstorm.

Matt Drudge, who delights in tweaking climate-change enthusiasts, noted on his Web site that a Senate hearing on global warming this week was canceled because of the weather.

As the first blizzard howled last weekend, the Virginia Republican Party put up an advertisement on the Web — titled “12 Inches of Global Warming” — criticizing two Virginia Democrats, Reps. Rick Boucher and

Hurricane expert sues LSU over firing

By John Schwartz New York Times News Service

Last April, Ivor van Heerden, an internationally known hurricane expert, was told he was losing his job at Louisiana State University.

He and other experts said it was because of his outspoken criticism of the federal government’s flood protection of New Orleans; the university would not comment.

Now van Heerden, former deputy director of the LSU Hurricane Center, is suing to get his job back.

His lawyers filed a lawsuit in Louisiana state court on Wednesday, charging harassment and wrongful termination.

Van Heerden joined LSU in 1992 and rose to prominence as an expert on storms and the region, becoming a research professor and director of the Center for the

Study of Public Health Impacts of Hurricanes.

In 2005, he sounded alarms about the potentially devastating impact of a major storm on New Orleans despite 40 years of hurricane protection efforts.

After Hurricane Katrina, he criticized the Army Corps of Engineers on TV and in print, arguing that engineering mistakes had caused breaches in the hurricane protection system that led to most of the death and destruction in New Orleans.

State officials named him to lead Team Louisiana, an investigation into the causes of the damage from the storm. At the university, however, van Heerden’s growing profile as an anti-government gadfly was seen as a problem. One university official sent him an e-

mail message, obtained by The New York Times, saying that he needed to help the state’s recovery, not point blame.

He said he was told by administrators that his verbal barbs against the government would lead to cuts in aid for LSU, and the university criticized him for speaking about levees without having engineering training. Last April, he was told that his contract, ending in May 2010, would not be renewed.

In his court filing, he described “a multi-year campaign of retaliation,” and said LSU had “placed the bureaucratic interests of university officials above the health and safety of the millions of people who live in the path of the hurricanes that threaten the Gulf Coast every year.”

Scientists fire back Speculating on the meaning of severe weather events is not new.

Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and a deadly heat wave in Europe in the summer of 2003 incited similar arguments about what such extremes might — or might not — say about the planet’s climate.

But climate scientists say that no single episode of severe weather can be blamed for global climate trends while noting evidence that such events will probably become more frequent as global temperatures rise.

Jeff Masters, a meteorologist who writes on the Weather Underground blog, said that the recent snows do not, by themselves, demonstrate anything about the long-term trajectory of the planet. Climate is, by definition, a measure of decades and centuries, not months or years.

But Masters also said that government and academic studies have consistently predicted an increasing frequency of just these kinds of record-setting storms because warmer air car-

Chinese literary editor appeals 5-year sentence New York Times News Service A literary editor sentenced by a Chinese court to five years in prison gave a defiant handwritten appeal to the court on Wednesday.

The editor, Tan Zuoren, was sentenced by the court on Tuesday for subversion.

His trial in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, was adjourned without a verdict in August.

The court said Tan had faced the charges because of recent writings and a rally criticizing the government’s deadly suppression of the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. But his supporters contended that the government wanted to stop his investigation of fatal school collapses in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.

The big chill A federal government report issued last year, intended to be the authoritative statement of known climate trends in the United States, pointed to the likelihood of more frequent snowstorms in the Northeast and less frequent snow in the South and Southeast as a result of longterm temperature and precipitation patterns.

The Climate Impacts report, from the multi-agency U.S. Global Change Research Program, also projected more intense drought in the Southwest and more powerful Gulf Coast hurricanes because of warming.

In other words, if the government scientists are correct, look for more snow.

Gay couples hoping to be part of immigration reform Legislation is in the works to extend residency benefits to same-sex couples

By Bonnie Miller Rubin Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Six members of the U.S. House sent a letter last week to President Barack Obama and other leaders, expressing strong support for a little-known piece of legislation that would grant gay and lesbian couples the same residency benefits as their opposite-sex peers.

The measure — called the Uniting American Families Act — could affect 36,000 gay and lesbian binational couples, who would earn a path to citizenship not by getting entangled in matrimony, but by creating a new immigration category for “permanent partners.”

Under current federal law, gay and lesbian Americans are barred from sponsoring their foreign partners, even if their union is recognized by a state where gay marriage is legal.

For Chicago residents Karla Thomas, a native of Trinidad, and Stacy Beardsley, a U.S. citizen, the legislation is intensely

Emissions Continued from A1 As originally written, the bill did not identify funding sources for the cities’ emission-reduction efforts, which promise to be costly, said Bend Councilor Mark Capell.

Capell represented Bend on a state task force that studied the emissions problem and made recommendations to the Legislature. He says those weren’t followed. Capell also is chairman of Bend’s Metropolitan Planning Organization, which would be involved in reducing greenhouse gas emissions if the bill passes.

One of the big costs associated with emissions reduction is city planning that increases “density,” called scenario planning.

“If you increase density, you decrease greenhouse gases because you don’t have to drive as far” to get to stores and services, Capell said. “So a prime example of that kind of planning is NorthWest Crossing.”

He said scenario planning carries a high price tag, and local officials anticipated spending between $500,000 and $1 million on the process in the “first couple of years” after the bill took effect.

Along with increasing density, locals could build more bike and pedestrian trails to reduce vehicle emissions, but the cost of those projects would rest with the cities as well, Capell said.

Funding issues A proposed revision to the bill made after hearings in Salem on Tuesday requires the Department of Land Conservation and Development, along with the Oregon Department of Transportation, to identify potential sources of funding, said state Sen. Jackie Dingfelder, D-Portland.

Dingfelder heads the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee and said the proposed amendments also say money for reduction efforts must be “new” money, meaning it cannot be shifted from other city programs.

That language came at the suggestion of the League of Oregon Cities, which opposed the bill as originally written, said the organization’s legislative director, Craig Honeyman.

“No robbing from other pots of money that are already supporting local governments in the area of land use and transportation planning,” he said.

Bill draws fire Critics of the bill, like state Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, also question why it requires emissions reductions to 1990 levels.

“Where does that come from?”

Telfer said Wednesday.

She said that, in addition to rapid growth, Bend faces an-

Karla Thomas, left, and Stacy Beardsley have been in a committed relationship for years, but they can’t marry, which would allow Karla, a Trinidad native, to stay in the U.S. personal.

The two women share a North Side Victorian cottage, two black Labs and some investment properties. Thomas’ citizenship was never much of an issue until her job as an engineering project manager at an international cosmetics company was eliminated last summer.

“It’s not a question of whether we need to do things differently, but how much. In terms of how dramatic are the things we need to do, are they possible, I think we’re exploring what would be needed.”

— Robert Cortright, Department of Land Conservation and Development

other challenge when it comes to reducing emissions: As a tourist destination and a hub for commerce, many drivers from out the area travel Bend roads.

“So why should we be responsible for the emissions for everybody from Portland who comes over to go skiing?” Telfer said. “Now, we love having them come visit and bringing their tourist dollars, but the cost of that should not rest on our shoulders.”

Telfer and others say the bill also gives too much power to the Department of Land Conservation and Development and ODOT, which are granted rulemaking authority under the proposed legislation.

Supporters defend the bill’s goals But Robert Cortright, transportation planning coordinator for DLCD, said his agency is setting emissions standards based on recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an international scientific body that studies climate change.

“In terms of reaching that carbon target, what the international scientific community says is (1990 levels) are what we have to do to avoid even worse climate effects than we are already seeing,” Cortright said.

He said DLCD realizes the rollback to 1990 levels might not be realistic for a city like Bend, but changes must be made.

“It’s not a question of whether we need to do things differently, but how much,” Cortright said.

“In terms of how dramatic are the things we need to do, are they possible, I think we’re exploring what would be needed.”

Legislators are scheduled to hold a work session on SB 1059 and proposed amendments today.

The layoff threatened not only her paycheck but also her employment-based green card, which means her time in the U.S. could be running out.

“No one should have to decide between the person she loves and the country she loves,” Thomas said.

The Uniting American Families Act needs to be folded into any immigration overhaul that Congress is expected to tackle in the next few months, say advocates.

“It saddens me to think that the struggle for immigration reform, a movement based on the fundamental principles of equality … could push on without including LGBT families,” said Illinois Democrat Mike Quigley, who signed the letter along with Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.; Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.; Barney Frank, D-Mass.; Jared Polis, D-Colo.; and Mike Honda, D-Calif.

Opponents of the bill say any such provisions could be a dealbreaker for immigration reform.

“It’s like pouring gasoline on a roaring fire,” said Kevin Appleby, director of migration policy and public affairs for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which sees such unions as violating church teachings. “Immigration is already controversial enough.

Adding this issue could kill it altogether.”

Gays Continued from A1 “I don’t know if I won any hearts and minds among the Iraqis,” said the specialist, who returned home from Iraq recently. “But I did among my brothers in arms because I did my job well and went above and beyond. I was respected.”

Changing dynamics A younger and more liberal corps of commanders and soldiers has given rise to bubbles of tolerance in today’s military, which soldiers describe as still largely unwelcoming and wary of gays, according to interviews with more than a dozen enlisted troops and officers.

Underground gay communities have emerged at bases across the United States and even in war zones. In Iraq, one e-mail group maintained by gay troops includes a database where soldiers post their instant-messaging screen names and the base where they’re stationed. Dozens have profiles on gay dating sites.

In recent years, service members and researchers say, a growing number of gay troops have disclosed their sexual orientation to supervisors and comrades.

They say they are buoyed by a sense that wartime commanders are increasingly reluctant to lose skilled troops to a ban many now view as archaic.

But even if the current law and policy known as “don’t ask, don’t tell” is repealed in coming

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, February 11, 2010 A5 months, gay soldiers are unlikely to come out of the closet in large numbers, service members said.

“An openly gay soldier would have a lot to overcome,” said Matthew Gallagher, a former Army captain and popular blogger who left the Army last year.

“It is a culture fueled entirely by machismo, and it definitely has a bit of locker-room homophobia.”

Gallagher, 26, who is straight, said he thinks openly gay service members should be allowed to serve. “If an openly gay soldier went into a unit and proved himself competent and skillful, I believe most units and soldiers would accept him as one of their own — especially during combat,” he said.

‘We discriminate’ Other officers disagree.

They argue that lifting the ban could demoralize an institution strained by two ongoing wars and the toll of nearly a decade of combat. Openly gay soldiers could weaken unit cohesion and present logistical and moral dilemmas for commanders, supporters of the ban said.

“Due to the nature of what soldiers do, we discriminate against the too young, the too old, the infirm, the overweight, the physically unfit and women,” said a senior commander who has served in Iraq, speaking on the condition of anonymity to argue against the administration’s position. “Discrimination against homosexuals is no different.”

Adjusting to new policies to accommodate openly gay sol-

diers could become a distraction for commanders, he said, adding, “are we all going to have to submit to annual gay sensitivity training?”

Officers often notice that their soldiers may be gay. There was something different about the 26-year-old specialist, his commander said in an interview.

“My gaydar went off the screen,” said the captain, who, like the specialist, spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of violating the policy. “He didn’t discuss his orientation with anyone, but after his peers got to know him, it was apparent.”

The specialist’s rudimentary command of Arabic and broad range of skills made him an asset. His outgoing personality and sense of humor made him popular. “I don’t think his orientation became an issue, because he maintained a professional appearance and performed like any other soldier,” said the captain.

Losing soldiers In the eight years before the United States went to war in Afghanistan, at least 7,989 service members were discharged because of the ban. That number dropped noticeably after the U.S.-led intervention in 2002; since then, 5,400 service members have been discharged for being gay.

Recent polls show that a majority of Americans think openly gay soldiers should be allowed to serve, a significant shift in public opinion from 1993, when “don’t ask, don’t tell” was adopted.

Chilling aerial photos released ‘Exceptional images’ captured by New York City police detective were obtained by ABC under the Freedom of Information Act

By Ula Ilnytzky and Colleen Long The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A trove of aerial photographs of the collapsing World Trade Center was widely released this week, offering a rare and chilling view from the heavens of the burning twin towers and the apocalyptic shroud of smoke and dust that settled over the city.

The images were taken from a police helicopter — the only photographers allowed in the airspace near the skyscrapers on Sept. 11, 2001. They were obtained by ABC after it filed a Freedom of Information Act request last year with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the federal agency that investigated the collapse.

The chief curator of the planned Sept. 11 museum pronounced the pictures “a phenomenal body of work.”

The photos are “absolutely core to understanding the visual phenomena of what was happening,” said Jan Ramirez of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. They are “some of the most exceptional images in the world, I think, of this event.”

In some of the pictures, the tops of the nearby Woolworth Building and other skyscrapers can just be seen above the enormous cloud of debris, gray against a clear blue sky. Gray clouds billow through the streets of the financial district and shroud the 16 acres where the towers had stood just moments before.

“I almost didn’t realize what I was seeing that day,” Greg Semendinger, the former New York Police Department detective who took the 12 pictures posted on ABC’s site, told The Associated Press. “Looking at it now, it’s amazing I took those pictures.

Iraq tells Blackwater employees to leave

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A suicide bomber attacked a vehicle carrying tribal police near Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing 17 people, officials and witnesses said. The bomber was able to get inside the vehicle before detonating his explosives, said local tribesman Izzakhana Afridi. Rasheed Khan, a local government official, said the blast killed 10 policemen, six civilians and one paramilitary officer.

Also Wednesday, a Pakistani army Cobra helicopter gunship crashed in the Tirah Valley near the Afghan border, army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said. Another army official said the pilot and gunner are missing and feared dead.

BAGHDAD — Iraq has ordered more than 200 current and former employees of the private security company Xe, formerly known as Blackwater to leave the country within the next four days. Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani said the order is directed at security contractors who worked for Blackwater in the fall of 2007, when a security detail protecting an American convoy opened fire on a crowded square, killing 17 civilians.

The images are … stunning.”

The attack and the collapse of the World Trade Center were well documented on live TV and amateur video. But more than eight years after the nation’s deadliest

terrorist attack, the images still had the power to shock and disturb. They were an instant sensation on the Internet.

at,” said Richard Zimbler, president of the WTC Survivors Network. “But they are an important part of the historical record.”

ABC said NIST gave the network 2,779 pictures on nine CDs. The network posted 12 pictures on its Web site. ABC initially said some of the photographs posted had never been seen before, but later backed off that assertion Semendinger said Wednesday that he had previously e-mailed some of the pictures to friends who later posted them on the Internet.

Also, nine of the images were published in a book called “Above Hallowed Ground: A Photographic Record of Sept. 11” without his consent. The book was a tribute to the officers who were killed that day.

LONDON — Ukraine’s prospects of a smooth power transfer that could help free up its bailout loan are fading as backers of Yulia Timoshenko, the loser in the Feb. 7 presidential election, said they were gathering evidence of electoral fraud and called for street protests.

Timoshenko, the prime minister, has refused to concede defeat to opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych, 59. Timoshenko, 49, retains a majority in Parliament and can leverage her support there to hold onto the premiership. The resulting political stalemate is likely to jeopardize legislative steps needed to unlock the next payment of a $16.4 billion International Monetary Fund loan that has been suspended since November.

Myanmar sentences American to 3 years BANGKOK — A Myanmar court Wednesday sentenced an American activist to three years of hard labor, drawing an angry response from U.S. officials who called the charges “politically motivated.” Nyi Nyi Aung, 40, was arrested in September when he returned to visit his mother, an imprisoned democracy activist. He was eventually convicted of carrying a forged identity card and undeclared U.S. currency.

Israeli soldier killed in West Bank attack An Israeli soldier was killed Wednesday in the West Bank by a Palestinian police officer, the Israeli military said. It was a rare instance of violence that occurred at a delicate time, with Israeli and Palestinian security forces trying to build mutual trust. Sgt. 1st Class Ihab Khatib, 28, was stabbed while sitting in his parked military jeep at a junction south of Nablus.

U.S. military strategy focuses on people, flow of commerce

By Joshua Partlow The Washington Post

ZARI, Afghanistan — Four of the U.S. Army’s hulking mine-resistant armored vehicles had just been bombed into submission.

They stood immobilized off of Highway 1, southern Afghanistan’s most important thoroughfare, at the point where an earlier bomb had blown out the asphalt.

At the same time, Taliban fighters were reeling a wire used to detonate bombs into a mud-walled compound.

But right at the top of Lt. Col. Jeffrey French’s list of concerns that perilous day, when 14 bombs either exploded or were found in the same area, was the row of Afghan cargo trucks waiting to get past this complicated mess.

“I don’t want to be piling up massive amounts of coalition force vehicles,” French radioed to his soldiers before leading his convoy out of the congestion.

For the 5th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, deployed around the southern city of Kandahar, the mission is to preserve freedom of movement on the highways through southern Afghanistan.

By doing so, the military hopes to fan to life the economic and political embers smoldering in roadside villages around Kandahar and restore credibility to the local government.

Facing problems ....

The Strykers’ mission is a key part of the new strategy for southern Afghanistan, where most of President Barack Obama’s 30,000 reinforcements are to deploy.

By establishing a cordon of coalition forces around Kandahar, commanders hope to protect the people and the flow of commerce, while pulling troops away from less populated areas in the south.

Since the Strykers’ 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment began its work in mid-September, there have been encouraging signs of

Deadly avalanches rivet the nation KABUL — While the eyes of the West are on Helmand province, where one of the war’s biggest military offensives looms, Afghans’ attention this week has been riveted by a lethal drama in the heart of the country.

Authorities said Wednesday that the death toll had risen to at least 166 in a series of avalanches that thundered down the Salang Pass, the historic route through the rugged mountains of the Hindu Kush.

When the troops arrived in the district, the highway was littered with burned and abandoned vehicles.

Schools stood empty. Beyond the district leader, Obadallah Bawari, and a representative of the Afghan intelligence agency, no one else from the Afghan government came around much.

“We are lacking every critical part of any functioning government,” said Lt. Joseph Cooper, the battalion’s officer leading development and governance projects.

The Taliban, meanwhile, was a regular presence in the district, and summoned residents to its courts to resolve disputes or punish those linked to the Americans.

... and seeing progress Amid these problems, the soldiers used regular patrols, meetings with local leaders and persistent surveillance to declare their presence.

They have taken heart in incremental changes: Bawari shows up to work most days, they said, and has emerged as a more confident leader. As the roadside bombs have tapered off around Hutal, more residents have come to them with information. School attendance has grown quickly.

Bend’s Vulcan Power expects to begin construction on its first plant soon; other projects are in the works The Bulletin

Single-family home prices in Bend and Redmond started 2010 in decline, with January median sales prices in each city sinking to new post-housing bubble lows, according to a report from Bratton Appraisal Group of Bend.

Bend’s median sales price dropped to $189,000 in January, which was 7.8 percent lower than December and 18.8 percent lower than January 2009. Last month’s price was 52.2 percent below the market’s high of $396,000, set in May 2007. The median sales price per square foot, considered by most in the industry to be a better measure of value, dropped below $100 for the first time since at least April 2005, hitting $99. That was down from $106 in December and $125 a year ago.

In Redmond, the median sales price was $120,000, down 12.4 percent from December and 24.5 percent from January 2009. Last month’s price was 58.4 percent below the city’s November 2006 high of $289,000. Median sales price per square foot was $75, down from $85 in December and $90 in January 2009.

La Pine golf partners complete buyout Quail Run Golf Course in La Pine is under new management after a Gresham man purchased the remaining 50 percent interest in the golf course from his partner.

Bill Martin, who has owned 50 percent of the golf course since 1998 and managed the course’s day-to-day operations, sold his share of the course to his longtime business partner, Les Howatt. Terms were not disclosed.

As part of the deal, Quail Run head golf professional Todd Sickles will become general manager of the 18-hole course.

Martin, who was instrumental in building the course’s final nine holes in 2006, will no longer be affiliated with the club, Sickles said.

Geothermal company ready to drill

By Tim Doran

Area home prices fall

Vulcan Power Co., a Bend-based geothermal energy company, expects to start construction on its first power plant within the year in Nevada.

The company was scheduled to start new drilling near Patua Hot Springs, east of Fernley, Nev., this week, with construction of a 60megawatt power plant projected to begin in January, said Bob Warburton, Vulcan’s acting CEO. Founded in 1991, Vulcan holds leases on about 170,000 acres of federal and private land in five states, giving it one of the largest portfolios of geothermal properties in the nation, according to the Geothermal Energy Association, an industry group.

A recent infusion of $108 million from Denham Capital, a private investment firm, will get the drilling started, Warburton said.

While it’s headquartered in Bend, Vulcan houses engineering and other operations in Reno and Fallon, Nev.

The company employs 49 people, but will be adding about 50 to 60 more to drilling crews over the next several months, Warburton said.

The company does not expect to add staff at the headquarters, located near Colorado and Columbia avenues.

Vulcan has several other projects in development, and in October, the company received a $3.8 million grant, which it must match, from the U.S. Energy Department to research methods for finding hidden geothermal reservoirs with potential to generate commercial power.

Fueled by government policies, geothermal energy development has soared in recent years.

After reporting no increase in geothermal electricity capacity from 2001 to 2004, the U.S. reported 3.5 percent growth in both 2007 and 2008, according to the Energy Department.

Last year, it grew 6 percent, with six geothermal plants coming online.

BERLIN — As Europe edges toward emergency guarantees to stem market panic over one of the most profligate members of the euro bloc, the country that the region turns to for leadership, Germany, is suffering from growing doubts about the European experiment it long championed.

Reluctant German leaders now find themselves forced to help Greece remain solvent, or risk watching markets attack one weak member after the next, from Portugal to Spain to Italy, threatening the stability of the euro, the European currency Germany fought so hard to create.

In a conference call with the finance ministers from the 16 countries that use the euro and the president of the European Central Bank, Jean-Claude Trichet, officials said that some action had to be taken to calm markets and take pressure off Greece. But what form that rescue would take — be it loans, loan guarantees or a promise to buy Greek government bonds — still had not been decided Wednesday night, ahead of a summit meeting involving all 27 European Union governments today.

A bailout will be politically awkward for Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government.

Visitors to Bend last summer were much like those who came in summer 2008, according to the latest research released this week by Visit Bend, the city’s tourism-promotion agency.

“It’s exactly what we were hoping to see and it validates the accuracy of the research project and significantly increases the level of confidence that we can have in the data,” Visit Bend President and CEO Doug La Placa said of the research done

SAN FRANCISCO — Google said on Wednesday that it would offer ultra-high-speed Internet access in some communities in a test that could showcase the kinds of things that would be possible if the United States had faster broadband networks.

In Google’s vision of the future of the Internet, the live streaming of 3-D medical images from a rural health clinic to a specialized medical center or the downloading of a full-length movie in a matter of minutes would become commonplace.

But Google’s promise to build the demonstration network is also the latest example of the Internet search company using its money and industry clout to help shape the future of the Internet to its liking.

Google has long been unhappy with the state of broadband in America, where speeds lag far behind those of other developed countries. It announced the plan for its high speed network, which would be open to other companies wanting to offer Internet service, just as federal regulators are debating new rules for the Internet and preparing a national broadband plan commissioned by Congress that could call for higher speed networks to be available nationwide.

Export and import statistics released Wednesday for the United States and China offered the latest signs that world trade was starting to recover from the global financial crisis.

China said its exports climbed 21 percent in January from a year earlier, while imports surged 85.5 percent.

In the United States, foreign demand for American goods increased in December. Exports rose 3.3 percent, to $142.7 billion. That was not enough, however, to offset the 4.8 percent increase in imports, which totaled $182.9 billion. The increase in imports suggested that American businesses and consumers were growing more confident about spending.

which also conducted Bend’s 2008 summer visitor survey.

The RRC reports give Visit Bend a broad picture of who visits Bend, why, where from, what they do while visiting, what they think of the area and much more — data that the agency can use to direct its marketing and economic development programs. Visit Bend also commissions smaller studies, like two studies last year on two USA Cycling events in Bend, to gather data on event-specific visitors — data that also helps guide Visit Bend marketing decisions.

While changes from 2008 were few in RRC’s data, the 2009 RRC research found a higher percentage of people visiting for a special event and more people saying they participated in cycling while here, due to last year’s cycling events and the area’s growing cycling reputation, La Placa said. The research also found fewer visitors from international markets, not surprising considering the struggling global economy, he said.

The two-year RRC research project cost $23,000. The full report was expected to be posted on Visit Bend’s Web site by today.

Disability

a disability before age 65 that will keep you out of work for 90 days or more.

Silver Lake Publishing now owns Merritt and still sells the book, and its publisher, Jim Walsh, was one of the original contributors. He said that he and the others generated the estimate themselves using data that industry associations had provided and that they were the best numbers available at the time.

Continued from B1 But many people in the insurance industry have responded by trying to scare people half to death.

So what are the actual odds?

They’re not clear-cut, as you may have guessed. But let’s start with what they aren’t.

Take that injury statistic. The figure comes from the Web site of the Council for Disability Awareness, which is made up of disability insurance companies, and it appears on a page called, “You, disabled? What are your chances?” It continues, “You can ignore the problem, but it’s hard to ignore the facts: Every :01 second another disabling injury occurs.”

Extend the math on that, and it adds up to more than 31 million injuries a year. It turns out, however, that the statistic comes from the National Safety Council, which describes “disabling” pretty loosely. “It interferes with normal daily activity one day beyond the day of injury,” said Amy Williams, a spokeswoman for the National Safety Council. “It doesn’t mean they weren’t able to go to work. It may mean that they twisted their ankle and couldn’t go to Pilates that night.”

So what if you want a consumer-friendly book on the topic?

There aren’t many, so you’ll probably run into “How To Insure Your Income,” which a group of Merritt Publishing editors published in 1997. It states, on Page 4, that if you’re 25 years old, you have an 80 percent chance of experiencing

Policy shopping If you believe the odds are that bad, your next step is probably to go shopping for a policy. Google “disability insurance agent,” and three of the first four nonpaid results are sites that lead you to Steve Crawford, an insurance agent and broker in Rockville, Md. His site posts odds that are slightly less grim — 52 percent for that same 25-year-old. Crawford said his numbers come from Guardian, a big player in disability insurance, and he said he will be updating them this weekend. A spokeswoman for Guardian’s Berkshire Life unit, which sells policies to individuals, did not respond to requests for comment.

Ask actuaries who have spent years studying the disability insurance industry, however, and you get an estimate of roughly 30 percent. At least one actuary I spoke to this week laughed at the 50 percent and higher figures.

And even that is not your final answer. Numbers for white-collar workers are usually lower than for assembly line workers. If you have no chronic conditions, eat decent

Continued from B1 In 2009, geothermal accounted for about 2,800 construction-related jobs and 750 new full-time jobs, according to the Geothermal Energy Association.

“We feel very good about being in this market right now,” Warburton said.

Vulcan’s plans call for a second 60-megawatt geothermal plant at Patua, with additional 60-megawatt plants at three other sites in Nevada, the location for 85 percent of the company’s holdings.

Nevada, which has 21 operating geothermal power plants, has more projects in development than any other state, according to the association.

“It has become … a focal point for geothermal energy in the Western United States,” Warburton said.

Nevada and California increased their future requirements

for renewable energy in 2009. The federal government started a loan program to fund innovative technology in geothermal and opened up other renewable energy financing, and the Bureau of Land Management has been selling geothermal leasing rights on federal land for several years.

Between June 2007 and November 2009, the agency sold leases on more than 723,000 acres in six Western states, reaping more than $73 million.

food and avoid cigarettes, your odds may drop to 10 percent, according to the “Personal Disability Quotient” quiz on the Web site of the Council for Disability Awareness. (This part of the site appears to use data more appropriately.)

Here are a few other things to keep in mind if you’re running your own numbers. Some people lie about being disabled, and their fake claims skew the actuarial data, though no one knows by how much. Lower your odds a bit to account for the cheaters. Lower them some more in recognition of the fact that people who buy their own policies also tend to actually use them.

Doctors, who buy more than their fair share of disability coverage, have historically made more claims than other white-collar professionals. In fact, doctors claim so much more that the odds for all other white-collar workers improve a few percentage points when physicians aren’t included.

Think your odds are in the single digits? You may be happy with the disability coverage that your employer provides. About one-third of workers have at least some coverage, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Keep in mind, however, that it may not replace all of your income, it may not last forever and it’s likely to be taxable income if your employer is paying the premium.

More confusion Once you start shopping for coverage, you’re likely to be met with more confusion. You can find insurance agents through the Web

statement on a 127-acre site east of Fallon, where Vulcan proposes to build up to six 30-60 megawatt geothermal power plants. The review will also cover proposals by two other companies, one seeking to build a geothermal plant and the other requesting right of way for transmission lines.

“We think there’s a lot more there,” Warburton said. “We’ll find out as we continue drilling.”

Vulcan also has made sure it has customers for the power it expects to produce. It has contracts to supply power to two major utilities in California and Nevada and is presently negotiating a third contract, Warburton said. He could not name the company involved, but he expects negotiations to conclude in six to eight weeks.

Along with its lease holdings, Vulcan has branched into other aspects of geothermal exploration. It has a proprietary interest in software, started its own drilling company and has built its own crew to cement the wells, work

sites of companies like Guardian, MassMutual and others that underwrite policies. But there is no comprehensive directory that I’ve been able to find of independent agents who can compare four or five insurance companies on your behalf.

Crawford, the insurance agent, does offer a search function on his Disability Insurance Forums Web site. It lists agents who have posted comments there; you can search for ones licensed in your state and read their writings to get a feel for them.

Then, you’ll need an education about all the ways in which the companies may limit your ability to make a claim. One of the biggest restrictions comes when insurers try to force you back to work in any job you can perform, even if you can no longer do the work you did before you were disabled. If you can afford it, you want what’s known as “own occupation” coverage instead, which should pay claims if you can’t do your old job.

All of this may sound as if I’m trying to scare you away from disability insurance, in the same way that many people in the industry seem to want to scare you into buying a policy. But that’s not my intent. If you can afford a policy but lack the savings to stave off ruin during an extended disability, paying a few hundred dollars a month for coverage may be a fine idea.

But the disability insurance industry can do better here. Exaggerating for effect doesn’t really help the cause when its product is confusing to begin with.

previously done by a company out of Bakersfield, Calif.

Vulcan also has an application before the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada to erect a nearly 350-mile transmission line, which would start east of Reno and extend to Las Vegas, although Warburton said the proposal is on hold.

Right now, he said, Vulcan wants to concentrate on producing electricity.

“We prefer to utilize our capabilities to get our power plants built,” Warburton said.

Google Continued from B1 Google is showing the government “that we can have super-fast open broadband networks that break the duopoly of cable and telephone companies that we have today,” said Ben Scott, policy director for Free Press, a public interest group that advocates for open Internet rules.

Critics say that Google’s move is little more than a public relations effort aimed at promoting its policy goals. They say that by spending relatively small sums, Google would be, in essence, pressuring the telecommunications companies that provide broadband access to millions of American homes to abide by Google’s rules.

“This is mainly a PR stunt,” said Scott Cleland, chairman of Netcompetition.org, an organization that represents many telecommunications companies and their industry associations and opposes new regulations on the Internet. “With one hand, Google is urging regulations that stifle broadband deployment, and with the other hand, they are saying that telecom

Europe Continued from B1 It is precisely the financial millstone that opponents warned about when Germany gave up its treasured mark, a move that a majority of people here, in contrast to their political leaders, opposed at the time.

“If the German government would just transfer money to Greece, people in Germany would feel their worst fears had come true,” said Thomas Mayer, chief economist at Deutsche Bank.

The role of savior has been thrust upon Germany by default. The euro bloc has myriad rules and regulations intended to avoid the need for prosperous members to rush to the aid of those with weak economies.

But the markets have ignored the rules, spiking up or down with unconfirmed

companies should spend hundreds of billions” to give ultrafast service to all Americans, Cleland said.

Google has challenged the business models of established telecommunications companies before. In 2008, it bid more than $4 billion in a government auction of wireless spectrum merely to loosen the control that carriers would have over the use of the airwaves.

“Google, indeed, appears to be playing a chess game,” said David Yoffie, a professor at the Harvard Business School. “If they can create an even mildly credible commitment to offer super-fast broadband to the home, it could strike fear in the hearts of cable and telcos, stimulating an arms race of investment — just as they did in the auction for spectrum a few years ago.”

In a post on its corporate blog, Google said it planned to build and test a high-speed fiber optic broadband network capable of allowing people to surf the Web at a gigabit a second, or about 100 times the speed of many broadband connections. The trial could be offered in several communities and extend to as many as 500,000 people.

reports that the Germans have agreed to rescue the Greeks, which often carry the implicit warning that everyone will suffer if they do not.

As the largest European economy with the most fiscal flexibility, Germany is crucial to any euro zone effort to save Greece.

The apprehension in Germany runs much deeper than a single crisis. It comes in the same week that Germany gave up its most cherished title, world export champion, to China, heightening fears of a declining stature and importance globally. Germany also faces a demographic challenge, managing a population that is not only graying but shrinking.

Bernanke outlines how the Fed might scale back growth efforts

By Neil Irwin The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve has the tools it needs to remove its expansive interventions in the economy, Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday in congressional testimony that gave a detailed account of how the Fed will go about draining cash and taking other steps to wind down its efforts to prop up growth.

Bernanke indicated that the economy remains sufficiently weak that no interest rate hike or other steps to reduce the money supply are imminent. But he is betting that by being more clear about how the Fed will one day undo its unprecedented steps to prop up growth, the Fed will maintain credibility as an infla-

tion-fighter in the long run. The Fed’s actions, including nearly tripling the size of its balance sheet to $2.2 trillion, pushing its short-term interest rate target to zero and undertaking a range of unconventional lending programs, have prompted some worries in the financial markets that a nasty burst of inflation could lurk around the corner.

In effect, Bernanke is spelling out the “how� of the Fed’s plans to pull away extensive supports for the economy put in place during the economic and financial near-collapse that ended last year, though he remained vague about the “when.�

One key step: Bernanke suggested that the federal funds rate, which for decades has been the Fed’s main lever through

which to manipulate the economy, will not be in the near future.

Instead, when it comes time to raise interest rates, the Fed will likely focus on increasing the rate that the Fed pays banks for extra money they deposit with the Fed. In other words, if the money supply were rising too fast, the Fed would give banks extra incentive to deposit money with the Fed instead of loaning it out, constraining the growth of the money supply.

There are other tools the Fed can use to withdraw liquidity from the financial system, known as “reverse repurchase agreements� and “term deposits,� which Bernanke characterized as supplementary tools to suck money out of the system.

Concern aired over commercial loans WASHINGTON — A huge wave of mortgage failures on commercial real estate could hit next year, causing banks to lose as much as $300 billion, imperiling lending for small businesses and hindering the economic recovery, a congressional panel is warning.

In a report to be released today, the Congressional Oversight Panel, which is responsible for reviewing the Treasury’s $700 billion bailout program, states that it is “deeply concerned that commercial loan losses could jeopardize the stability of many banks, particularly the nation’s midsize and smaller banks, and that as the damage spreads beyond individual banks that it will contribute to prolonged weakness throughout the economy.�

The panel’s chairwoman, Eliz-

abeth Warren, has been pressing the Treasury to compel thousands of banks to undergo stress tests like the ones that the Federal Reserve required of 19 of the country’s biggest financial institutions early last year. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has called that idea impractical.

Company buys, will reopen Oregon mill EUGENE — Murphy Co. of Eugene has bought a closed plywood mill in Rogue River for $3.6 million and plans to open it as soon as possible.

Company President John Murphy tells The RegisterGuard that because of the weak economy, he can’t be specific about when the former Panel Products mill might reopen.

But he says that when it does go back in production, it probably will employ 135 people.

That’s good news for Rogue River. The Southern Oregon town of 1,900 lost its largest private-sector employer when the Panel Products mill shut down over a year ago, putting 125 employees out of work.

Wine prices might drop after bountiful harvest LOS ANGELES — Wine lovers in California have something to toast.

The state’s grape growers and wineries saw a bigger-than-expected harvest in 2009, according to a report released Wednesday, amounting to the second-biggest crop in California history.

For consumers, the year’s bounty is expected to spell more availability and cheaper costs for all types of California wine, particularly premium and ultrapremium wines. — From wire reports

“Kids come in and they’re more relaxed about eating (after recess).

It helps their digestion. They don’t tend to throw as much food out.”

Leaders, residents discuss growth strategy

— Principal Kathy Saterdahl, Bear Creek Elementary

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

LA PINE — Oregon’s newest city took a key first step toward deciding how the city will grow Wednesday, hosting a public hearing on its first comprehensive plan and initial urban growth boundary.

The proposals look to create the conditions for development that would allow residents to work, shop and play within a short distance of their homes, a significant change from the development patterns that now make La Pine one of the most car-dependent communities in Central Oregon.

The decision by voters to incorporate in 2006 set in motion the process leading to the comp plan and the UGB, both of which are required under state law for all incorporated cities.

The comp plan and the UGB define where and how a city will grow over the next 20 years, decisions that are made at the county level for unincorporated communities.

The state of Oregon will buy 43,000 acres of ponderosa pine forests just east of Gilchrist to create the first new state forest in more than 60 years.

The Board of Forestry approved the $14.7 million purchase from Fidelity National Timber Resources at its meeting Wednesday.

“They were interested in getting out of those lands, and we were interested in keeping them as forests,” said Doug Decker, state forest project leader with the Oregon Department of Forestry. “Under today’s existing land use program, those lands, the lands we’re acquiring, could be subdivided into dozens, if not hundreds, of individual parcels.”

One of the Department of Forestry’s priorities is prevent-

ing the development of forestlands, he said, to help protect things such as fish and wildlife habitat, water quality and public access for recreation.

The money for the purchase comes from a $15 million bond approved by the 2009 Legislature, and will be repaid by lottery funds over the next 20 years, he said.

Oregon is working with the Conservation Fund, a Virginiabased nonprofit, which plans to buy an adjacent parcel and possibly sell it to the state in the future.

The land the state is buying was owned by the Gilchrist Timber Co. starting in the early 1900s, Decker said, and was considered a model of ponderosa pine forest management until the early 1990s, when it was bought by Crown Pacific. That company heavily logged much

of the forest, he said. Crown Pacific went out of business in 2003, and Fidelity bought the property in 2006.

“The vast majority of these lands, you’re not going to find trees older than about 20 years,” Decker said.

The state plans to manage the Gilchrist forest as a working forest, cutting timber, but it could take decades for the forest to get to that point.

Recreation opportunities also will be developed in the coming years, he said, noting that people already use the forest for hunting, driving off-highway vehicles and picking mushrooms.

“It’s going to be a neat resource for Central Oregon,” Decker said.

chools around Central Oregon are testing out a small schedule change that they hope will make a big difference in improving student health and reducing the amount of food students waste each day.

Of the 34 elementary schools in the region, 10 have placed recess directly before lunch for at least some students. Now, more schools are considering making the change, hoping it will decrease the amount of food students throw away, provide more time for classroom instruction and limit behavior problems on the playground.

Some schools were well ahead of the trend: Bear Creek Elementary moved recess to before lunch seven years ago, and Principal Kathy Saterdahl said she’s thrilled with the results.

The move was the result of three key factors: • Teachers and administrators worried students were in such a hurry to go to recess that they threw away a lot of their food.

• Teachers are required to have a 30-minute lunch break, and under the lunch-then-recess plan, that wasn’t happening because of different processes in the cafeteria that required some supervision.

Broker pleads guilty to bank fraud A West Linn mortgage broker who pleaded guilty Wednesday to bank fraud in federal court has admitted to two loan schemes for Bend properties he purchased in 2006.

Joel D. Surprenant, 43, entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Portland on charges related to actions he took while working as a mortgage broker for Morgan Financial, according

to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Portland.

Surprenant admitted to providing false information to get a loan for a Hood River property.

As a part of his plea agreement, Surprenant accepted financial responsibility for two Bend-related loan schemes, in which he obtained three mortgage loans by identifying his brother as the borrower — without his brother’s knowledge. He later defaulted on the loans, and Bank of America lost approximately $145,000, the release said.

Surprenant agreed to pay restitution for the losses caused to financial institutions. The maxi-

mum penalty for bank fraud is 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

Art exhibit to go up Friday at COCC Art teachers from around Central Oregon will display their students’ work, as well as their own, at the Pinckney Gallery in Pence Hall at Central Oregon Community College beginning Friday.

The exhibit will run Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., through Feb. 26, and will feature art from students in elementary through high school.

Plan: Northwest energy efficiency

By William McCall

Power lines from Bonneville Dam cross the Columbia River in North Bonneville, Wash. The Northwest Power and Conservation Council adopted a regional energy plan Wednesday.

The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Regional energy planners say improved efficiency, conservation, wind power and gas will help the Pacific Northwest meet electricity demand over the next 20 years without adding an extra lump of coal.

The Northwest Power and Conservation Council unanimously adopted a regional energy plan Wednesday that avoids any new coal-fired plants for Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana through 2030.

Instead, the council says the region can save 5,900 average megawatts of electricity over the next two decades — enough power for about five cities the size of Seattle — by investing in energyefficient equipment, buildings and products. “It sets a clear path for the region,� said Melinda Eden, one of the Oregon members of the fourstate council and chairman of its power committee.

The council revises its 20-year plan every five years to guide the Bonneville Power Administration on managing and developing the energy supply for the region while balancing fish and wildlife conservation programs.

Utilities also use the plan as a reference for deciding how to manage their services and resources while meeting regional goals.

Don Ryan The Associated Press

The plan said that 85 percent of the new demand for electricity over the next 20 years can be met through efficiency and conservation, while additional wind power development and natural gas plants can make up the rest.

In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by about 17 million tons per year by 2030, the council estimates that energy efficiency investments outlined in the plan could create as many as 47,000 new jobs in the Northwest. “Whether it’s to reduce carbon dioxide or create more jobs and reduce costs, the greatest source of opportunities is conservation,� said Michael Carrier, natural resources policy director for Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski.

Tom Karier, a Washington state council member, said that conservation, combined with the existing hydropower system and new wind power, will help the Northwest maintain “one of the cleanest power systems in the country.�

The plan was welcomed by a number of environmental and industry groups. “It’s a significant step toward a coal-free region,� said Cesia Kearns, an Oregon spokeswoman for the Sierra Club.

Coal provides more than a fifth of the energy in a region dominated by clean hydropower from a system made up of 31 federal dams that produce electricity marketed by Bonneville, based in Portland.

But Kearns noted the small scattering of coal plants in the region produces more than four-fifths of the power system’s greenhouse gas pollution.

She said the council’s latest plan shows “that a future without coal is not prohibitively expensive, it is not difficult for utilities to achieve and it will not jeopardize power reliability in the Northwest.�

Dick Adams, executive director of the PNUCC, an association of private and public utilities, praised the council plan but said there are many separate players who must work together in the conservation effort — including consumers, builders, utilities and government agencies. “That’s a big challenge,� Adams said. “But I think it’s doable.�

La Pine Continued from C1 Under the plan presented Wednesday by consultants James Lewis and Deborah McMahon, La Pine’s future growth would take place within the current boundaries of the city. The draft comp plan suggests La Pine has more than enough land within the current city limits to accommodate 20 years of growth, when the population is projected to grow from 1,600 to around 2,600.

Lewis and McMahon have been working with the city and community residents for more than a year to develop the plan.

Lewis said the zoning designations currently in place would remain after the adoption of the comp plan and the UGB. Maps displayed Wednesday showed what Lewis called “the 50,000foot view� — what types of development will go where. But the initial plan has no guidelines on density or other matters typically detailed in a zoning code. Once the comp plan is in place, the city

could elect to draft a new zoning code, he said.

Lewis and McMahon’s plan splits the city into three roughly equal-sized neighborhoods from north to south. McMahon said the three neighborhoods each contain a combination of land suitable for residential uses, commercial uses, employment uses and open space, but that none of the three can currently be considered complete neighborhoods. As the city develops, the three neighborhoods should come to resemble three distinct parts of La Pine. “When those visions are realized, you will have a complete community,� she said. “We look out 20 years because that’s what state law says, but this sets the stage for a much longer view.�

McMahon said creating three distinct neighborhoods could help to minimize reliance on vehicles for La Pine residents traveling to work, recreation or services.

The draft comp plan recommends the city not rush to take over services like sewer, water, parks and public safety, but

should instead continue to work closely with the agencies currently providing those services.

Slightly higher density is recommended for residential development, but only a 153-acre area north of Burgess Road is identified for apartments or other multifamily residential uses.

A handful of La Pine residents attended the meeting to offer their input. The city will be accepting additional written testimony on the comp plan and the UGB for one week.

Dan Varco expressed concerns that the 508 acres targeted for industrial development could be insufficient. “I think it’s a possibility we could run out of industrial land quickly,� Varco said. “The Facebook company up in Prineville bought 120 acres, and we couldn’t even offer them 120 acres here.�

McMahon said the state looks at total acreage within the UGB — not the size of individual parcels — when determining whether a city’s plan aligns with state law, and that the city could expand into areas outside the UGB

Recess Continued from C1 • Administrators were looking to reduce behavior problems at recess.

Students now have a 20minute recess before lunch, reduced from 30 minutes after student lunch, when teachers would take their lunch breaks. “Kids come in and they’re more relaxed about eating (after recess),� Saterdahl said. “It helps their digestion. They don’t tend to throw as much food out.

And then they are calmer when teachers pick them up after eating to go back to the class and get going on the rest of their day. We’ve found lots of benefits in it.�

In addition, Saterdahl said students are less likely to act out on the playground and the shortened recess means more time in the classroom.

Studies support what Saterdahl has found in her school over the past few years. According to studies, students take their time eating, thereby eating more nutritious foods, including more fruits and vegetables. Other studies show students are calmer when they return to class after lunch. When students go back to the classroom directly from recess, they often need cool-down periods.

Lori Brizee, a registered dietitian certified in pediatric nutrition, believes kids will eat better if they go to recess first.

She remembers throwing away half-eaten apples as a child because she didn’t want to take the time to eat them, instead excited to abandon the cafeteria for recess. “Those things take longer to chew up and swallow, those carrots and celery and apples,� she said. “It does take time to eat vegetables and salad.�

And Brizee believes moving lunch after recess will increase students’ appetites. “When kids aren’t hungry, they tend to eat the easy, tasty stuff,� she said.

This year, Madras Elementary is testing out the theory. Half the school’s classes are having recess before lunch, while the other half continue to have lunch before recess.

The study is part of a program to examine childhood obesity that was launched this school year by Mountain View Hospital in Madras with help from the Oregon Office of Rural Health and Oregon Health & Science University.

Beth Ann Beamer is heading up the work. Currently she’s

found no criminal wrongdoing by Officer Ronald Frashour in the Jan. 29 death of Aaron Campbell. But District Attorney Michael Schrunk said jurors had concerns about the incident and plan to write a letter to the Portland Police Bureau. He wouldn’t divulge those concerns.

overseeing plate-waste studies to determine how much food is offered to kids compared with the amount of food thrown away. In the coming weeks, staff and teachers will discuss how students are responding to the new schedule. “Anecdotally, I have heard from people whose kids are in the (recess then lunch) group that they’re pleased with their kids’ participation in it,� she said.

But not all schools are ready to make the change.

Carol Hammett, the principal at Bend’s Amity Creek Magnet School, said her school hasn’t moved recess because it would stretch the time between students’ breakfast and lunch.

That’s a concern for Brizee.

She said schools would likely have to alter their schedules to accommodate the change, but it could be worth it. Some schools don’t have lunch until after noon, meaning students have been at school for three hours.

And some students eat breakfast before school and ride the bus, making it even longer between meals. “Kids need to eat every two to four hours,� Brizee said. “During the school day, three hours is about the longest you want to go. More than three hours is a long time for kids.�

Michelle Herron, the principal at Tumalo Community School, said her staff will consider making the recess change for the 2010-11 school year.

Some of the reasons for a possible change are logistical.

For example, students now must remember to bring their coats to lunch, which they often fail to do. She also cited students sometimes getting sick during recess after eating too much during lunch. “It might help the lunchroom environment if they get the wiggles out before they come in for lunch,� she said. “It’s encouraging them to eat more slowly.�

Administrators are pleased schools are willing to consider making the change. “(With recess first), their body is ready to eat after being sedentary for so long in the morning,� said Katrina Wiest, a wellness specialist with BendLa Pine Schools. “And their metabolism is much higher because they’ve been out running around, so they’re able to come in and have a good meal and have it processed, versus have it sitting in their little tummies.�

O House votes to allow teacher religious garb

By Tim Fought The Associated Press

Damian Dovarganes / The Associated Press

California brown pelicans were released into the wild Wednesday by members and volunteers with the International Bird Rescue Research Center at the beach in San Pedro, Calif. California brown pelicans have been dying in large numbers for reasons wildlife officials don’t yet fully understand.

The center is releasing as many healthy birds as possible to make room for new sick pelicans.

Brown pelicans struggling to survive winter on coast

By Kim Murphy Los Angeles Times

ASTORIA — All along the Oregon Coast over the past month, hundreds of brown pelicans have turned up dead, starving or begging for food.

As many as 1,000 of the gangly seabirds failed to make their annual fall migration to California, many instead winding up at Oregon’s rehabilitation centers.

Those that did head south, leaving the Pacific Northwest winter behind, were battered by California’s recent storms. Shelters in San Pedro and the San Francisco Bay Area too are full of emaciated pelicans.

Researchers, at a loss to explain the casualties, are looking at unusual ocean currents and the depletion of fish stocks — as well as warmer temperatures, toxic runoff and algae booms — as possible causes.

Meanwhile, pelicans are sitting listlessly on beaches and scavenging outside restaurants and canneries.

“In one parking lot, there were people in cars surrounded by pelicans asking for food. We have never seen that before,” said Roy Lowe, project leader for the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex. “These birds literally have lost all fear of humans.”

‘Unprecedented’ In San Pedro, the International Bird Rescue Research Center has taken in about 130 pelicans; a similar number are at the center’s Northern California facility.

“We’ve had unprecedented numbers coming in. Is it some kind of natural die-off? Is it related to some kind of changes in the fish supply? All we know is, we are reaching capacity,” said Paul

Kelway of the San Pedro facility.

This is the second straight year that a large number of pelicans have remained in Oregon rather than trek to the warmer, quieter waters of California and Baja. Between 1918 and 2002, the Audubon Society tallied fewer than 100 pelicans in Oregon every winter. Then the number shot up to 554 birds. In 2008, 3,647 stayed.

This year’s count isn’t in, but experts believe that about 3,100 birds remained along the Oregon Coast.

“That’s pretty convincing to me that something unusual is going on,” said Deborah Jaques, a wildlife biologist in Astoria who specializes in seabirds.

Not endangered Decades ago, the seabird population was devastated by DDT, which thinned pelicans’ eggshells. They were listed as endangered in 1970, but rebounded after the United States banned the pesticide in 1972.

Gradually, the pelicans’ summer range crept as far north as British Columbia. With their numbers reaching 650,000 throughout North and Central America, the birds were removed from the endangered species list in November.

At this point, few scientists are ready to attribute the recent dieoff to global warming.

“This is the kind of thing you might expect to see with climate change, but we will need to do a better job of monitoring … to understand how they move in relation to their prey resources if we ever want to figure it out,” Jaques said.

Some researchers suggest that pelicans may have been taking advantage of an extended

upwelling of deep, nutrient-rich waters to the surface — normally limited to the spring and summer — that provided a good winter food source along the Oregon Coast. But the late stayers were hit in January by a sudden reversal in the upwelling, which sent food down toward the sea floor.

Grounded “And then we started getting windy days, and wind just grounds these birds,” said Dawn Grafe of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “They cannot get out and hunt for fish, and once they’re grounded for three or four days, they don’t have the strength to get out and do the fishing when the weather does improve.”

High, stormy surf sent a number of pelicans with broken wings into the Wildlife Center of the North Coast in Astoria, which has about 40 of the birds in rehabilitation.

“We probably had another 20 that died either before we could get them, or soon after they were captured,” said center director Sharnelle Fee. An examination of the birds revealed that nearly all had starved to death.

Wildlife officials have warned against feeding the birds, which could further injure them — especially since, some researchers say, there may simply be too many pelicans.

“We have lots more birds. So … resources get kind of scarce,” said Julia Parrish, head of a regional seabird survey team. “If there’s a downturn in production in the system for whatever reason, we absolutely know that lots of organisms are going to starve,” she said. “That’s how the ecosystem regulates itself. And it can be pretty ugly.”

Federal cleanup plan for Hanford raises concerns The Associated Press PORTLAND — A federal proposal for cleaning up the nation’s most contaminated nuclear site says radioactive contaminants from the sprawling Hanford nuclear reservation could threaten the Columbia River for thousands of years.

That prospect ought to force the U.S. Department of Energy, which manages cleanup at the south-central Washington site, to review its long-term clean up plans, said Ken Niles, assistant director of the Oregon Department of Energy.

The federal government is taking public comments through March 19 on its plan for cleaning up storage tanks and managing waste at Hanford, which was created in the 1940s as part of the top-secret Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb. Cleanup is expected to cost billions of dollars.

The plan to import low-level and midlevel radioactive waste from other sites to Hanford after 2022 poses completely unac-

ceptable risks, Niles said. Washington state officials have also raised concerns about bringing in more waste.

The Columbia River forms the northern and eastern borders of the Hanford site. Downriver, it flows through southern Washington and marks much of the state’s border with Oregon.

The federal government’s environmental impact statement for cleaning up tank waste shows that the risks from some highly radioactive elements have already peaked and should diminish relatively quickly. For all locations at Hanford, the peak radiological risk has already occurred, the report said.

But exposure to contaminants with longer radioactive half lives — such as plutonium, iodine and technetium — is projected to get

worse over time in some parts of the site as contamination migrates in groundwater, the report said.

The federal Energy Department says in the statement that its preference is to remove and process 99 percent of the contamination in the tanks, excavate about 15 feet underneath them, then cap the site. It also favors covering contaminated ditches near the tanks instead of excavating them.

But Mary Beth Burandt, a U.S. Energy Department manager, said the agency will likely propose further steps to address public concerns. Such measures could include more treatment, barrier walls to block contaminant flows and limits on longlived radioactive elements in incoming waste.

SALEM — The House voted Wednesday to strike down a law dating to the days when the Ku Klux Klan was so powerful in Oregon it could elect a governor, install a man with the initials KKK at the head of a legislative chamber and get a law passed barring religious dress in public classrooms.

The state’s 1923 law is one of three in the nation, the other two in Pennsylvania and Nebraska.

A 51-8 vote sends the bill to the state Senate, which has until the end of February to vote on the measure.

An attempt to repeal the law in 2009 as part of legislation to forbid workplace discrimination on religious grounds fell just short.

In debate Wednesday, House Speaker Dave Hunt held aloft a photo of a predecessor from the 1920s, Kaspar K. Kubli, and said it was time for the state to get rid of an anachronism that, for example, bars teachers who wear head scarves or turbans as a matter of faith.

“They should be judged by their ability to teach, not by their religious faith,” Hunt said.

He said the measure gave school districts new power to

IN THE LEGISLATURE enforce religious neutrality in the behavior of teachers, so the state doesn’t have to sacrifice their religious freedom to ensure that they don’t proselytize or try to convert their students.

The Klan was instrumental in the election of Walter Pierce as governor in 1922 and dominated the Legislature, according to an account in the state historical society’s Oregon History Project. Among its measures were those requiring all students to attend public schools — struck down by the state Supreme Court — and legislation to restrict Japanese people from owning or leasing land.

Kubli, speaker when the legislation was passed, was a Klansman whose initials were a coincidence, according to the state’s almanac, the Blue Book.

In recent years, the issue tangled the usual political lines in the Capitol.

Opposition has come from the American Civil Liberties Union and from representatives such as Ron Maurer of Grants Pass, who described himself Wednes-

Where Buyers And Sellers Meet

day as coming from one of the most conservative and Christian parts of Oregon. He is a Republican running for state superintendent of public instruction.

Their argument was that allowing religious dress and accessories is either proselytizing in itself or could lead to that on the part of people who are often nearly as important in the lives of students as are families.

“I bet each one of us can think of a teacher who affected our life in a special way,” Maurer said.

Others disputed whether contemporary pupils look at the world as adults do.

Rep. Michael Dembrow described his middle school years in the 1960s in a small Connecticut town, where, as an Orthodox Jew wearing a skull cap, he was pointed to and picked on.

Then he described visiting a middle school in his northeast Portland district, conversing with a student who had classmates wearing religious scarves, and her response to the legislative debate.

“She looked at me as if I were from another planet,” he said.

“Surely I understood that she was going to be more influenced by her classmate than by her teachers.”

Playing favorites in magnet lottery

I

magine the howls of protest if the Oregon Lottery gave preference to ticket holders living near the lottery’s office in Salem.

Should the location of a person’s home increase his odds of

winning a million bucks? Of course not.

Yet that’s what happens in selecting students for Bend La-Pine’s magnet schools.

This is the time of year when parents are taking tours and filling out applications for the district’s four magnet schools. Three of the schools offer different, unique curricula. The Amity Creek magnet program (K5) has a child-initiated approach to learning. Highland (K-5) uses the Scottish Storyline method. And the Westside Village magnet program (K8) uses a thematic curriculum. There are typically many more applications for those three schools than there are openings.

The fourth is different. Juniper (K-5) emphasizes the use of technology, but the instructional program is not significantly different from the district’s other neighborhood schools, according to the district. There has not been competition to get into Juniper.

The district says slots in its magnets are filled by means of a lottery. The district also promises that the magnets “will provide equal opportunity for all nationalities, races, ethnic groups, abilities and genders.”

But for Amity, Highland and Westside Village, the district plays geographic favorites. Those schools, all on Bend’s west side, have “magnet zones” (see the map below). The district’s rules say preference will be provided to families within the zone. “Siblings of current students and incoming kindergartners living within the magnet” zones get first priority. Other students living within the magnet zones receive second priority.

The magnet zones do matter.

Amity had 60 applications last year for 30 kindergarten spots for the 200910 school year. Twenty went to siblings, six went to students who were not siblings who lived in the magnet zone, leaving only four spots left for students outside the zone.

Highland’s situation was similar.

There were 122 applications for 60 kin-

dergarten openings. Of those admitted, 39 were siblings, six were from the magnet zone, leaving 15 for students outside the zone.

There has typically been a lottery for spots at Westside Village, but last year, there were only 26 applications for 30 openings. Up to this point, there has never been a need to hold a lottery for Juniper. It doesn’t have a magnet zone.

John Rexford, the district’s deputy superintendent, said the magnet zones are a policy choice. They’re an attempt to balance the idea of magnet schools with neighborhood schools, he said.

Parents could object, for instance, that their child was being sent to a different school farther away than the magnet school right across the street.

Presumably, though, some people might also object that students shouldn’t be discriminated against because of where they live within the district. The district and its resources belong as much to one family as they do to another.

The district’s policy makes a mockery of the idea of a magnet school.

What the district has are special neighborhood schools for those who live in the right neighborhoods.

My Nickel’s Worth Who complains most The infrastructure in America provides an economic atmosphere in which the accumulation of great wealth is possible. Most countries do not have conditions conducive to fortunes previously unheard of.

When I say “infrastructure,” I do not mean only roads, airports and port facilities. I include much, much more.

We have a public education system that educates all our citizens.

We live under the rule of law. Our policing and detention agencies provide a relatively safe, stable environment.

Federal, local and state sanitization and health agencies strive to keep our air, water and soil safe and healthy.

Federally funded dams provide flood control, irrigation, electricity and recreation.

Emergency services, such as fire, ambulance and hospital emergency rooms, are available to every American. Our medical system, although unavailable to all, keeps the majority of American people relatively healthy.

A safety net of Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, etc., prevents rips in the fabric of our society.

The American military, along with the Department of Homeland Security and related agencies, provides an umbrella of protection over our nation.

All these and many more make up the infrastructure of America, a system conducive to free enterprise and financial success.

My question is this. Why do those who benefit the most from the infrastructure of this country complain the loudest when it comes to paying their fair share of the taxes that create and

maintain this infrastructure?

Inaccurate columnists Please be more selective about the authors you publish as guest columnists. The most recent example I am referring to is Bill Thompson’s “How ‘green power’ hurts taxpayers,” published on Jan. 17. His article was peppered with numbers and statistics, most of them wrong. Very wrong.

The most blatant example was his statement in the beginning of the fourth paragraph — “If we cover the whole country with these devices we’ll only acquire about 5 percent of the country’s power needs.” Actually, if we covered only 0.3 percent of the country, we could provide for 100 percent of our electricity needs.

Now, I’m not saying that’s feasible or even desirable. I’m only saying that Mr. Thompson’s math was off by a factor of 6,667. I know that, because I’ve calculated it myself based upon data from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Central Intelligence Agency, with a couple of justifiable and conservative assumptions.

Obviously, Mr. Thompson is entitled to his opinion, and The Bulletin is entitled to publish it. But if such opinion is based upon “hard numbers,” you should make some effort to ensure those numbers are correct. Obviously, he didn’t.

One other small observation. Mr. Thompson is very critical of taxpayer funding for even a fraction of current renewable energy projects, and finds it “ironic that our dams are not green power.” Setting aside the categorization of hydropower as green or not,

who does he believe funded the construction of these dams?

Tony Dickman Bend

Anti-taxers lost The passing of Measures 66 and 67 is a rebuke to the anti-tax, anti-government fanatics as well as a sign that Oregonians are becoming savvy to the slimeball campaign tactics sponsored by greedy big business. I am a Bend business owner registered as an S corporation that has the ability to locate anywhere in the country. As in any business, reducing costs is paramount, but not at the expense of the infrastructure and the services offered by local government. Businesses wanting to locate in Oregon not only look at the cost but at the quality of life. Quality education, public safety services and other social programs are an integral part of what makes a community good.

Measures 66 and 67 were a no-brainer for finding an annual consistent revenue stream that would be relatively painless for taxpayers. My total annual cost will go from $10 to $150, and if I were registering as a new corporation, there would be an increase in fees.

When I first registered, I couldn’t believe how cheap it was. And when the day comes that I profit over $250,000, I’ll be happy to give a percentage point more in taxes. The “job killing taxes” campaign and their fanatic followers was a really bad joke. We should be asking for better and more accountable government, not screaming the simplistic view that all taxes are bad and government should be reduced to fit the size of a bathtub.

The best health reform plan will be politically difficult

By Bob Rozendal, M.D. Bulletin guest columnist

F

or the past year, the administration and Congress have been cobbling together a health care reform act, strongly influenced by several powerful lobbies intent on protecting their own special interests. They have carefully avoided confronting the real problems in our present system. They have no definition of the basic goals of an effective system, which should include 1) care for all Americans, 2) good results from care, 3) patient satisfaction and 4) efficient use of resources, including money.

Real health care reform is presently impossible. Our excessive expectations and erroneous assumptions, the intense lobbying of special interests protecting their own profits or benefits, and the dysfunctional nature of the current Congress make effective solution of the “health care crisis” a distant dream.

We will be unable to reach any effective answers until we decide realistically what we want from health care and what

we are willing to pay for it. The ultimate mortality rate is 100 percent. We accept this in an abstract intellectual way, but emotionally we want to postpone our death to some indefinite future. We don’t want to change the way we live, however careless, sedentary or indulgent that may be. So we expect the health care system to keep us in good health without too much effort on our part.

The demand for up-to-date, technologically advanced care is unlimited, but the money to pay for it is not. We don’t want health care to be rationed, but we want the current cost to go down, not up.

We expect insurance to pay for most of it. But what we pay for health insurance over a lifetime will be, on the average, less than the cost of our care during that lifetime. A significant percentage of the premiums paid, whether to the government or to private insurance companies, will be absorbed by administrative costs and, in the case of private insurance, by costs of advertising and profit-taking.

Somehow, that difference has to be paid

IN MY VIEW for by somebody.

The fee-for-service mechanism of payment increases cost, since it pays for fragmented care and procedures, rather than for the most coordinated and efficient care. Too much testing and treatment has its own risk for adverse medical results. Presently high pharmaceutical costs, which include paying for prime-time media advertising and much profit, are much out of line compared with those in other countries.

Poverty contributes a significant amount to the excessive cost of medical care, but the solution to this component of cost is not achievable by health care reform, except by making access more available for early and preventive care.

Preventive care otherwise is not a major contributor to decreasing cost — in part it only delays the eventual cost for a given individual to a later age. Preventive care does achieve more years of produc-

tive and satisfying life.

The present malpractice tort system adds unnecessarily to health expenses by encouraging defensive medical practices of no health value and by its excessive legal costs. An improved medical records system would improve efficiency and prevent some unneeded care. Neither of these actions, however, which have gotten so much publicity as major components of health care reform, are primary causes of our rapid cost increases.

The only rational solution to our present dilemma would be a process at best difficult to carry out in the face of current political forces and public opinion.

The first step would be to cause the public to be better informed of the real reasons for our situation, the realities of the problem, followed by a careful objective analysis of possible solutions, including consideration of solution actions by other countries that have shown evidence of true positive results. A next step would be a development of a plan, carried out

by experts in medical practices, economics, administrators and experienced lay persons, carried out in open forum and inviting citizen input, and insulated from lobbyist and special interest pressures now so prevalent in the congressional process. This is probably an idealistic, impractical way to find a real solution under present political conditions, but it might be the only true solution.

Incidentally, we already have had a government health plan for years, the largest in the nation. It’s called Medicare. Where would the over 65-year-old population now be without it?

My opinions arise from 40 years experience as a private practice family physician, medical school associate professor, naval medical officer, community clinic physician, hospital insurance company medical executive, and husband of a patient who died of multiple sclerosis excluded from insurance coverage because it was “chronic.”

Nov. 23, 1917 - Feb. 7, 2010 On February 7, Central Oregon lost a long-time resident, William (Bill) Ebert of Prineville. Born in Weed, CA, on November 23, 1917, Bill was 92 years old.

He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Goldie L. Ebert and four of his six sons: William J. Ebert, David Ebert, Daniel Ebert, Douglas Bill Ebert Ebert, and their daughter, Teresa Ebert.

A graduate of Sherwood High, Bill and Goldie were the football player and cheer leader story come true. They married April 19, 1941 and moved to San Francisco where Bill worked in the ship yards through WWII, rearing their first two sons amid rationing and the war. When the war ended, they returned to the Portland area and the Willamette Valley where he was a logger and Carpenter/ Pilebuck/Millwright. He found his niche and spent the vast majority of his career as a millwright, distinguishing himself in the power generation and petrochemicals construction (oil refineries) specializing in close tolerance, precision alignment of industrial machinery.

Bill’s dedication to raising his large family, took him away from home a great deal while the family was raised in the country on small farms.

His first three sons (William, Robert and David) graduated from Redmond Union High School. In 1965, his worked took the family back to the San Francisco Bay area where Dan, Doug, and Teresa graduated from Richmond High School.

Bill and Goldie missed the peace and quiet of country life and returned to their 40 acre farm in Terrebonne in 1983. He hunted and fished, irrigated, fixed fences and assisted neighbors in fixing and modifying their farm equipment. He believed in the good neighbor policy. He shared his interests with his sons and daughter, visited his grandchildren and they celebrated with him.

Grandchildren were among his outward focuses. He attended family reunions, spent the 4th of July many years with sparklers lighting the long driveway and front yard. Bill was able to visit and vacation with his family in Russia, the mountains above Napa, San Francisco, Hollywood, Nevada and many other places too numerous to mention ... wherever the wind has spread his children and their families - nine grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, the youngest just 2 months old.

Bill was blessed with a large family, good friends and kind neighbors. We were blessed with him.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, February 13, 2010, at 1 p.m. at Prineville Funeral Home, Del Towell will be officiating. Prineville Funeral Home is in care of arrangements, 541-447-6459.

Comic actor Ian Carmichael dies at 89

By Bruce Weber New York Times News Service

Ian Carmichael, a debonair actor who made a specialty of playing the well-meaning buffoon in British films of the 1950s and who went on to star on television as Bertie Wooster, P.G. Wodehouse’s oblivious twit, and Lord Peter Wimsey, Dorothy Sayers’ aristocratic detective, died Friday at his home in Grosmont, in northern England.

He was 89. His family confirmed his death, The Associated Press said.

Carmichael’s career lasted more than 60 years, and he was appearing on the British television series “The Royal” as late as last year. He was probably most familiar to American audiences as Wimsey, appearing in the role in several BBC series that were shown on American television in the 1970s.

Nonetheless, it was as a lovable goofball that he became, for a time, a British movie star. After appearing in small or supporting roles in several dramatic films (including “Betrayed,” with Clark Gable and Lana Turner), Carmichael had roles in a number of lighthearted satires playing some version of a bumbling naif.

Ex-Texas Rep. Charlie Wilson armed Afghan rebels in ’80s

By Laurence Arnold Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — Charlie Wilson, the hard-partying congressman whose exploits on behalf of the mujahedeen resistance fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan formed the basis of the book and movie “Charlie Wilson’s War,” has died. He was 76.

He died Wednesday at a hospital in Lufkin, Texas, of cardiopulmonary arrest, according to statement from Memorial Health System of East Texas. He received a heart transplant in 2007.

A Democrat representing an impoverished area in rural Texas, Wilson held his House seat from 1973 to 1996.

He was “one of the most distinctive figures in the House,” the Almanac of American Politics put it in the 1990s — “tall, almost spectrally thin, flamboyant, pleasure-loving, always ready with a wisecrack or quip, yet also serious-minded when he wants to be and even idealistic.”

He homed in on what would become his signature cause in 1982, on a fact-finding trip to the Mideast. After visits to Israel and Lebanon, he tacked on a stop in Pakistan at the behest of a wealthy political backer, Joanne Herring.

Tom Hanks portrayed Wilson, and Julia Roberts played Herring, in the film version of “Charlie Wilson’s War” (2007). The movie showed how Wilson’s 1982 visit to Pakistan would become Herring’s great triumph.

A glamorous fixture of Houston society, Herring had years earlier swept Wilson “from the Bible Belt into her dazzling world of black-tie dinners, movie stars, countesses, Saudi princes and big-time Republican oil magnates,” George Crile wrote in the 2003 book that was turned into the movie.

Herring was a staunch conservative, part of a secret

elderly, newborns and those with underlying conditions are more susceptible to the infection, but anyone can be infected.

Becky Johnson is flying to Texas next week to be with her son. A surgery date has not been set.

She hopes her son will be able to return to Madras after the surgery.

“I don’t know when Alex is coming home,” she said. “He’s still a soldier. … He still has to do what they tell him.”

organization dedicated to fighting the possibility of a communist takeover of America, Crile wrote. She became passionate about Pakistan, which she considered a bulwark against Soviet expansionism, especially after Soviet troops invaded Afghanistan in December 1979. Wilson was among the powerful friends she tried to recruit to Pakistan’s defense.

On his 1982 visit, the congressman met with military leaders who detailed the Soviet occupation, the resulting refugee crisis and Pakistan’s need for state-ofthe-art radar for its U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets, according to Crile’s account. Before returning home, Wilson made the first of what would become 14 visits to Peshawar, center of the Afghan resistance and home to sprawling refugee camps.

“It began to dawn on me right then and there that I didn’t know what was going to happen, but with my rage and their courage I knew we were going to kill some Russians,” Wilson told Crile, who died in 2006.

Over the next several years, Wilson used his seat on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, and the secrecy of the U.S. covert-operations budget, to send billions of dollars in arms to the Afghan rebels. The arms ultimately included Stinger missiles, which the rebels used to

shoot down theretofore unchallenged Soviet helicopters.

Soviet troops left Afghanistan in 1989 after 10 years of fighting.

Pakistani President Zia ul-Haq, interviewed by “60 Minutes” about how the powerful Soviets had been defeated, answered: “All I can say is, Charlie did it.”

The story, of course, didn’t end there. Power struggles in Afghanistan were eventually won

by Islamic fundamentalists who would give safe harbor to Osama bin Laden and his followers, who would attack the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001.

Wilson said the power vacuum in Afghanistan that followed the Soviet retreat was an unforeseen result of a worthy fight against communism. He told Time magazine in 2007, “Who the hell had ever heard of the Taliban then?”

He became famous on Capitol Hill for, among other things, a team of young, female office staffers known as “Charlie’s Angels.” Wilson was part-owner of a Washington nightclub called Elan and was the subject of a 1978 Washington Post profile titled “Charles Wilson: Every Day’s a Party for Him.” He had arrived in Washington with a wife, but they soon divorced.

After 12 two-year terms, Wilson stepped down in October 1996. He became a lobbyist and represented the government of Pakistan, among other clients.

THE BULLETIN • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2010

BASEBALL Ellsbury named to college baseball all-decade team Central Oregon baseball standout Jacoby Ellsbury has been honored as one of the college baseball players of the decade by Baseball America.

Ellsbury, who starred at Oregon State University from 2003 to 2005, was named one of three outfielders on the baseball publication’s All-2000s team. The all-state player from Madras High School played for the summer collegiate Bend Elks in 2002 before leading OSU to the College World Series in 2005.

This year, Ellsbury enters his fourth big-league season with the Boston Red Sox. Ellsbury’s coach at Oregon State, Pat Casey, was named Baseball America’s college coach of the decade. And OSU, which won back-toback College World Series titles in 2006 and 2007, finished second only to Texas in voting for Baseball America’s college team of the decade.

The honors were determined by a vote of NCAA Division I baseball head coaches, and the all-decade team was announced last week.

New technology debuts at local shooting range

“G HUNTING & FISHING

ary, we need someone to shoot a couple of guns for a demo video we’re doing out at the COSSA Range.”

When Brad Douglas sprung that one on me, I was in the middle of deadlines and the last thing my schedule could afford was time away from the computer. Then he said the magic words.

“We need you to shoot a handgun and a rifle that are equipped with some new technology for the military and law enforcement. The demo tape is going to run at the SHOT

GARY LEWIS Show.”

COSSA President Bill Fockler arranged a shooting house for us. Brad Douglas and John McDevitt were there with cameras. Mike Middleton, a movie industry type from Southern California, provided the

vision and acted as producer for the forthcoming video.

TriggerPoint founder Terry Abst and his son Kyle, a U.S. Marine bound for Afghanistan, had the guns ready: a Smith & Wesson M&P and an AR-15 for my shooting pleasure. I acquainted myself with each in turn while Terry and Bill taped bad guy and bystander targets on the walls.

Mike and Kyle positioned plywood to block out the sun and Brad and John fussed with the cameras and angles.

The TriggerPoint system consists

of a sensor embedded into the frame and a magnet the size of a mustard seed embedded in the polymer component that moves with the trigger. When the two-stage trigger is touched, the first partial retraction of the drop safety is captured by the sensor and activates a laser. To actually discharge the pistol requires 100 times more trigger force and a half inch of trigger travel. The battery needed to run the sensor has a threeyear life and is also embedded into the frame.

WINTER O LY M P I C S Vonn questions whether she will race at Olympics VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Lindsey Vonn is worried a badly bruised right shin will keep her out of the Vancouver Olympics, a startling announcement so close to the start of an event shaping up as a showcase for the U.S. skiing star.

Vonn revealed Wednesday that she was injured in a slalom training run Feb. 2 during pre-Olympic practice in Austria. It was her first trip down the slopes of what was supposed to be three days of practice.

“I’m sitting here today questioning whether, you know, I’ll be even able to ski,” Vonn said at a news conference. “I have to play it by ear.”

As a two-time reigning overall World Cup champion, the 25-year-old who lives and trains in Vail, Colo., has been considered a contender to win multiple medals.

Asked whether she could be forced to sit out altogether, Vonn replied: “Yeah, that’s a possibility.”

She hasn’t skied since getting hurt and said it’s even been painful to simply put on a pair of ski boots in her hotel room to test the leg.

Vonn said the bruising covers about a 6-inch swath of her lower right leg — starting from where the top of a boot rests against her body — but she refused to get any X-rays to check whether she broke a bone because she didn’t want to know.

Connecting on their punches, 141-pounder Jenah Duea, left, practices with 114-pounder Spencer Perez during a sparring session at the Deschutes County Rocks boxing training facility in Bend on Tuesday night in advance of the state Golden Gloves tourney.

Landing a big one The Deschutes County Rocks Boxing Club is set to host the Oregon state Golden Gloves tournament

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

When Jenah Duea realized she needed a career change, she moved to Bend from New York City last year and, as she puts it, “went from working on Wall Street to building walls.”

She left behind the center of the financial world to live with her brother in Central Oregon and work on stone masonry.

One thing she did not want to leave behind was boxing. A fighter in New York for seven years, Duea worried she might not find a boxing gym in Bend — that is, until she hooked up with the Deschutes County Rocks Boxing Club.

“For me to move to a relatively small town and have a boxing community is really great,” Duea, 27, said last week at the club’s new training venue in northeast Bend. “I

thought when I moved here I might have to give up boxing.”

Not so. In fact, Duea is one of seven fighters from the Deschutes County Rocks scheduled to box this Friday and Saturday night in the Oregon State Golden Gloves tournament at Bend’s Midtown Ballroom.

The Golden Gloves is the most prestigious USA Boxing-sanctioned amateur event in the state, according to Richard Miller, coach of the Rocks, who are hosting the tournament for the first time in the team’s six years.

But this will not be the first time the Oregon State Golden Gloves competition has been staged in Central Oregon. Last year, the Madras-based Central Oregon Golden Gloves Academy hosted the tournament in Redmond.

MADRAS — Wrestling its second league dual in two days, Crook County showed no signs of fatigue on Wednesday, blowing past host Madras 54-27 for an Intermountain Conference win.

The Cowboys recorded eight pins against the White Buffaloes to improve to 4-2 in league duals.

“We got out and pinned people,” said Crook County coach Jake Huffman. “Once we had people on their backs, we did a good job of holding them.”

After opening the match with a forfeit win at 160 pounds, the Cowboys’ Bryson Martin won by fall over Madras junior Brandon O’Brien to give Crook County a 12-0 lead.

“That match could have gone either way,” Huffman said.

“But he took it to (O’Brien) and set the tone.”

Crook County led the rest of the night as Cody Roan (215 pounds), Erik Martin (103), McKennan Buckner (112), Dawson Barber (119), Cody Pfau (140), Trevor Wilson (145) and Jake Zeigler (152) all won with pins.

Madras, which is hosting the IMC district tournament on Feb. 19 and 20, claimed victory in five matches. Trevor Barrett (189 pounds), Adrian Phillips (285) and Ryan Brunner (135) all won by fall.

Phillips’ pin of Alex Pierce at heavyweight put Madras within six points of Crook County, 18-12, but the Cowboys won the next three matches by pin to build an insurmountable 3612 advantage.

The Cowboys finish the regular season today with a home league match against Bend High. Madras is off until next weekend’s district tournament.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — What if the Miracle on Ice players had Twitter accounts?

Or if the sprinters who raised their gloved fists on the medal stand could have shared their thoughts on Facebook?

Thanks to laptops, cell phones and other new technology, social networking could be the route the next transformative Olympian uses to get the word out.

Skaters, skiers, hockey players and the reporters who cover them now have almost instant access to their fans and readers at what has long been, for better and worse, one of the most grandiose stages for message-sending.

When the torch is lit Friday, it will mark the beginning of the Twitter Olympics era — the first games where social networking and sports col-

“I’m sure I’ll be flooding tons of photos and tons of stories and glimpses from behind the scenes,” said Shaun White, the defending Olympic halfpipe gold medalist. “Because, really, what an interesting and cool time to be sharing with everyone.”

S B Basketball • Nine Olympic gold medalists on U.S. roster: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant joined six others from the reigning Olympic champions who are among 27 players on the U.S. national team roster. The players chosen Wednesday will be candidates for this summer’s world championships and the 2012 Olympics in London.

Also returning from the team that ended the Americans’ eight-year gold medal drought in major competitions are: Chris Bosh, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer. James, Wade and Bosh are questionable to actually play this summer.

All three can become free agents and have said their contract situations are their first priority. The only players not returning from the team that won gold in Beijing are Jason Kidd, who previously said he was retiring from international competition with a perfect record, and Michael Redd and Tayshaun Prince, who have battled injuries this season. Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge is also on the roster.

Golf • Parnevik’s career not over?: Jesper Parnevik sounded optimistic about returning to golf Wednesday after speaking to a Michigan specialist who told him he could avoid surgery for a broken vertebrae. One day after telling a Swedish tabloid that it would take a “miracle” for him to play golf again, Parnevik said rest and physical therapy could put him back on the PGA Tour in a couple of months. He said he would go to Detroit next week to meet with Gary Gray, who specializes in applied functional science.

Baseball • Braves make offer to Damon: The Atlanta Braves appear interested in adding Johnny Damon to the top of their lineup. The Braves have made an offer to the freeagent outfielder, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. Atlanta’s offer is believed to be for one year and include deferred money. Damon’s agent, Scott Boras, has said he is seeking at least a two-year deal. The 36year-old Damon hit .286 with 24 homers for the New York Yankees last season and likely would bat leadoff for the Braves.

• M’s sign vet Colome: The Seattle Mariners have signed right-hander Jesus Colome to a minor league contract with an invitation to their spring training camp. The 32-year-old Colome appeared in 21 games last season with the Washington Nationals and Milwaukee Brewers.

He will compete to be a veteran setup reliever for closer David Aardsma. Colome has pitched in the major leagues each of the last nine seasons. He is 19-26 with a 4.66 ERA in 328 relief appearances.

Auto racing • Another Daytona wreck collects champ Johnson: Jimmie Johnson’s quest for a fifth straight NASCAR championship will begin in a backup car. Johnson was involved in the latest wreck at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Wednesday, doing enough damage that crew chief Chad Knaus decided to scrap the primary car for Sunday’s season-opening race.

Joey Logano and Kyle Busch also got caught up in the accident during the practice.

Pebble offers sneak preview of U.S. Open

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Just taking a scenic stroll around Pebble Beach makes it obvious the U.S. Open will be here this summer.

Not because of who’s here, but what’s not.

The rock is gone.

While not the most famous landmark in golf, the white, knee-high rock has been part of the eighth fairway at Pebble Beach for years. Because the tee shot is uphill to a blind fairway, it was positioned at the top of the hill to serve as a target.

But with the U.S. Open four months away, the target has changed.

“It’s not really in a good line anymore,” Adam Scott said Wednesday.

He hasn’t been to Pebble Beach since 1999 when he lost in the first round of the U.S. Amateur, and Scott noticed it was missing right away.

GOLF The fairway used to be plenty wide, stretching from inside the cart path on the left to the water hazard — also known as the Pacific Ocean — to the right. The USGA already is defining the fairway widths, so the rough now juts in some 25 yards from the left.

Tim Petrovic found that out the hard way. He hit what appeared to be a suitable drive on the eighth hole, only to climb the hill and see his ball in the rough.

“The fairway used to be all the way to that fence,” he said, pointing to an enclosed concession area.

“Yeah, this is different.”

That’s not the only change this week.

The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am gets under way today with a different rotation of courses and

some new faces.

Several players decided to sign up this year to get acquainted with a U.S. Open course, such as Scott, Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia, who last played Pebble in 2001 with his sister as his amateur partner.

More significant is the change in course rotation.

Poppy Hills, which players notso-affectionately referred to as “Sloppy Hills” because it drained so poorly, has been replaced by the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club.

Dustin Johnson is the defending champion, and this time he might get to play 54 holes. Johnson won last year when he took a four-shot lead into a final round that was never played because of heavy rains.

Rain arrived earlier in the week, leading to soft, spongy fairways at Pebble and Spyglass, and greens that are far more forgiving than they

will be for the U.S. Open in June.

It might look like the same course, but it isn’t.

So why bother?

Steve Marino decided to return for the first time in three years because of the U.S. Open, and he’s sure glad he did. Marino received a phone call Tuesday night that his amateur partner would be one of his favorite athletes, New England Patriots quarter Tom Brady. As for the golf course?

“It’s just getting used to looking at it, seeing the lines and the shots,” Marino said as he walked down the sixth fairway, where the rough has been extended closer to the right side toward the ocean.

The field has been reduced to 156 players (down from 180) along with their amateur partners. Also in the field are Phil Mickelson, Retief Goosen, Vijay Singh and Padraig Harrington, most of whom have a history at Pebble Beach.

Canadiens end Capitals’ 14-game win streak The Associated Press MONTREAL — Tomas Plekanec scored his second goal of the game in overtime and the Montreal Canadiens ended Washington’s teamrecord winning streak at 14 games with a 6-5 victory Wednesday night.

Washington, which hadn’t lost in nearly a month, fell three wins short of tying the 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins’ NHL-record streak of 17 games.

Brooks Laich tied it at 5 for Washington, scoring his third goal of the game with 18.4 seconds left and goalie Jose Theodore pulled for an extra attacker.

Trailing 5-2 after Plekanec scored Montreal’s fourth goal of the second with 1:04 left in the period, Washington battled back with three goals in the third — including

NHL ROUNDUP two by Laich — to send the game to overtime.

Scott Gomez, Glen Metropolit, Maxim Lapierre and Tom Pyatt added goals for the Canadiens.

Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Green also scored for Washington.

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, February 11, 2010 D3

Boxing Continued from D1 That event was marred by the serious head injury suffered by one of the fighters, Jovany Medina, of Madras. Medina is still recovering from his injury, but he can walk and talk and he is even back at work for a few hours a day at Central Oregon Seeds Inc. Read more about Medina’s recovery in Saturday’s Bulletin.

“We don’t even talk about it, it was such a freak thing,” Miller said last week of Medina’s injury.

Miller points to the use of protective headgear and gloves designed to absorb impact as examples that keep Olympicstyle amateur boxing — such as Golden Gloves — a relatively safe sport.

Elimination bouts will be held on Friday night and finals on Saturday night. Miller said he expects about 15 bouts each night, featuring fighters from Oregon, Washington, California and Idaho.

The highest-placing boxers from Oregon this weekend advance to the Golden Gloves Regional Tournament in Las Vegas, March 20-21. Winners in Las Vegas qualify for the Golden Gloves National Tournament of Champions, scheduled for Little Rock, Ark., in early May. USA Boxing men’s bouts are scheduled for three rounds of three minutes each. Women’s bouts consist of four two-minute rounds. Fights are scored on a point system administered by judges, and boxers earn points for punches landed.

“What always keeps me going (in boxing) is the mental and physical challenge,” Duea said.

David Robles, of Bend, is looking to return to the Golden Gloves Regional Tournament, this time in a much lighter weight class.

After shedding nearly 50 pounds through a change in diet and an increase in exercise, the 20-yearold is fighting in the 165-pound weight class.

“I have wind, and I feel good … stronger and faster,” said Robles, preparing for a workout

at the training venue last week. “(Boxing) has taught me work ethic and kept me on the straight and narrow. Everything I do is for boxing.

“It’s really important to have (state Golden Gloves) here in Bend. Having the crowd on your side is a huge advantage.”

Other boxers from Bend scheduled to fight this weekend include heavyweight Jerry Zapata, Spencer Perez (114 pounds), Beto Vila (115 pounds), Alda Vila (140 pounds) and Jeremy Cham (super heavyweight).

Zapata and Cham both won the Oregon State Golden Gloves titles last year.

Would-be boxers tend to come and go, discovering that the sport is just not for them. But Miller said his club of about 25 fighters has stayed pretty much intact this season, which started last September.

“This year,” Miller said, “has been so consistent.”

NBA ROUNDUP

NBA SCOREBOARD

Trail Blazers use balanced attack to take out Suns The Associated Press PHOENIX — The depleted Portland Trail Blazers straggled into Phoenix at 3 a.m. after an embarrassing home loss.

The Suns were waiting, with five days’ rest and a five-game winning streak, knowing the Blazers hadn’t won in Phoenix for a long, long time.

What followed was a 108-101 victory for Portland in one of the Blazers’ best offensive games of the season and a Suns performance that left Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry steaming.

The final score did not come close to reflecting the Blazers’ dominance.

Steve Blake had 20 points and 12 assists, both season highs for Portland, coming off an 89-77 home loss to Oklahoma City on Tuesday night. Blake didn’t start in that game and went scoreless, going zero for five in 23½ minutes.

Still, coach Nate McMillan decided to start Blake alongside Andre Miller, with Nicolas Batum going to the bench.

“Everyone knows last night was a little uncharacteristic of us, 24 turnovers and stuff,” Blake said, “so we wanted to come back and show how we really play. When you have a big break coming up you want to have confidence, feeling good going into that break. So this is huge for us.”

The Blazers, who led by as many as 22 in the third quarter and 17 in the fourth, shot 58 percent, the highest the Suns have allowed this season. Portland made 71 percent of its first-half shots while ending a 10-game losing streak in Phoenix.

“We were pretty sharp from the start,” McMillan said. “It’s nice to see the ball going through the hoop. I think all teams feed off that when their shots are falling.”

The Blazers, without All-Star Brandon Roy and three other injured important players, bolted to a 14-point lead in the opening minutes and were up by as many as 17 in the second quarter.

LaMarcus Aldridge led five Portland players in double figures with 22 points. Amare Stoudemire scored 24 for Phoenix. Steve Nash had 15 points and 11 assists, but shot just six of 16 with five turnovers.

The Trail Blazers last won in Phoenix on Feb. 4, 2004, but they have beaten the Suns four straight times — three in Portland — for the first time since Dec. 5, 1999.

“They outhustled us, they came up with big plays, they made good passes,” Gentry said.

“They did everything that we didn’t do. ... We weren’t ready to play and we didn’t play with a whole lot of energy and passion, and when we don’t do that, we’re not very good. We become a very, very, very average team.”

The closest the Suns got after the early minutes was 103-99 after Nash’s long threepointer with 18.8 seconds to go, then Blake and Miller made seven of eight free throws to finish it off.

The Suns, who hadn’t played since Friday, scored the last six points of the third quarter and first nine of the fourth. The 15-0 run that started and ended on three-pointers by Jared Dudley cut the lead to 83-76 with 10½ minutes to play. But Batum and Blake made three-pointers, and Dante Cunningham had a breakaway layup to ignite a 12-2 spurt by Portland.

“It was huge because they had a lot of confidence,” Blake said. “The crowd was starting to get loud, really get into the game and I think they feed off of that, so that was a good job to kind of take the crowd out of it at that point.”

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Wes Johnson and Kris Joseph combined to make six straight free throws in the final 33 seconds, and No. 2 Syracuse held off Connecticut 72-67 on Wednesday night after squandering a 16-point lead in the second half.

Jerome Dyson’s three-pointer for the Huskies tied it at 65 with 2:33 left, but Johnson put the Orange back in front by hitting two foul shots with 30.4 seconds to go.

It was the 11th straight victory for Syracuse (24-1, 12-1 Big East) and it snapped a six-game skid against the Huskies in the regular season.

Connecticut (14-10, 4-7) dropped to 0-6 on the road this season and 1-5 against ranked teams. George Blaney fell to 34 in place of coach Jim Calhoun, who took a medical leave of absence last month.

FLY-T YING CORNER

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Soft & Dry Emerger, tied by David Miller.

Olympics Continued from D1 White is among the hundreds of athletes who have Twitter and Facebook accounts — or spaces on similar sites — with plans to use them over the 17-day sports festival.

They will give friends, family, fans and, yes, reporters updates on their training and competition, random musings, pictures, links to their Web sites and other peeks behind the Olympic curtain that the public can’t usually see.

It will save them time on the phone, help them build their fan base and allow them to get their message out, unfiltered by the socalled traditional media. It might also serve up a bit of instant gratification when the grind of training and waiting takes its toll. “I’m not a full addict like some people are,� said American Nate Holland, one of the favorites in snowboardcross, a sport added to the Olympic program to appeal to the same, young demographic that inspired the social networking boom. “But I like to give updates and definitely get those out to people,�

Holland said. “I can just Facebook ‘Best course ever,’ and 20 minutes later there are a ton of replies and people cheering you on. It strokes the ego a little bit.�

Meanwhile, the traditional media is using social networking to try to build audiences that have been fragmenting of late.

Reporters from The Associated Press, for instance, will be tweeting from venues and using those posts to link readers to stories on hundreds of customers’ Web sites.

The AP also has a Winter Olympics Facebook page that includes a mix of stories from its traditional wire service and short blog entries from on-site reporters. “Like many media companies, we are trying new methods to disseminate and gather information — in this case from athletes and others attending the Olympics,� said Lou Ferrara, AP’s managing editor for sports, entertainment and interactive media. “We want to give the audience what it wants and where they want it.�

Of course, with technology comes confusion, and there’s already been some of that.

Knowing the social networking craze was coming, the International Olympic Committee put out a four-page blogging guide-

Sometimes we assign way too much intelligence to a creature with a brain the size of a pea.

And we put too much emphasis on mimicking the bug with exactness when a simple fly with the right profile, fished the right way can provoke an impulse take from a feeding fish. Here’s a pattern that, in different iterations, can imitate a mayfly, a snail or even a damselfly nymph.

An all-purpose fly, the Soft & Dry Emerger can be fished wet, dry or as an emerger to be suggestive of a number of trout foods. Tied tiny, it is a great choice as the primary fly or a dropper during a blue-winged olive hatch.

Build this pattern with olive thread on a No. 10-20 dry-fly hook. For the body, twist on an olive dubbing and rib with orange Krystal Flash.

Tie hackle one with partridge in the soft hackle manner. Wrap hackle two with grizzly tied in the dry style.

line that supplements Rule 49 of the Olympic charter, which essentially states that only journalists can act as journalists at the games, while athletes and coaches cannot.

The addendum says blogs are permitted, so long as they are diary-like in nature, don’t include live action or ceremonies and don’t give “newsy� updates, such as injury reports or information about rivaling countries.

Bob Condron, spokesman at the U.S. Olympic Committee, said Twitter posts — with their abbreviation-inducing 140-character limits — are considered allowable by the IOC, which didn’t specifically mention that site in its rules. “The IOC considers blogging, in accordance with these Guidelines, as a legitimate form of personal expression and not as a form of journalism,� the rule states.

Prohibited in that personal form of expression, however, are any attempts to promote nonOlympic sponsors — a sticking point between the Olympic powers and the athletes who often struggle to cash in on the success of their Olympic journeys.

Oh, and there is the ever-present reminder not to use the Olympics as a political stage — a rule that has long been the crux of a sticky debate about whether the Olympics are just a simple sports festival, or something much more. “It was pretty crazy to see what we are not allowed to do or supposed to say,� said short-track speedskater J.R Celski, a frequent tweeter. “No advertising and just making sure you are positive, but it’s understandable.�

Lindsey Vonn recently told her 35,000-plus followers that she would not be posting Twitter updates because of Olympic blackout rules — then came back a day later and said she would. “Contrary to what I was told it turns out that I am allowed to continue to tweet and facebook during the Olympics!!� she wrote on Facebook. “Yay!! I have to follow very specific rules though:( Did you guys really think you were going to get rid of me that easily?! I’m back baby!�

But when news of her injured shin broke — an update that could not only impact her, but the entire tenor of the Olympics — there was no mention of it on her Twitter feed. Instead, Vonn

revealed the news in an interview with NBC, which bankrolls the Olympic movement to the tune of $2 billion over four years.

While Vonn graces the cover of Sports Illustrated and has sponsors aplenty, athletes such as Jeret “Speedy� Peterson are always looking for ways to get the word out. Peterson, the aerials skier whose trademark “Hurricane� jump could give him his 15 minutes of fame come Feb. 22, is at 2,000 fans and climbing on Facebook — and knows the Olympics could be his last, best chance to augment the fan base. “It’s free, it’s instantaneous and it’s real,� he said. “It’s my message and it’s not filtered. That kind of convenience is a huge thing for people.�

Convenient as it can be, a surprising number of athletes said they wanted to enjoy the experience without laptops and cell phones getting in the way. “I want to give my country respect and be involved in the moment and soak it up as much as I can,� said snowboardcross rider Lindsey Jacobellis.

Many athletes insist that, once the games start, their actual performance — not updating people about their performance — must come first. But that doesn’t mean they won’t have anything to say. “It’s like an instantaneous thought of what you are doing on the move, usually from your cell phone, so it’s a very kind of short, pure, raw view of what people are up to,� said U.S. Nordic combined skier Billy Demong, who recently bought a helmet-cam so he could post video of his training.

By doing whatever they have time for, it’s almost a sure thing that more information will be available in more formats. Heck, even the IOC Web site has links to Twitter and Facebook.

What has yet to be seen is whether the information will spark something transformative — think sprinters John Carlos and Tommie Smith raising their fists on the podium in the precell-phone days of 1968 — or wind up only as more noise in the machine. “I guess they have the opportunity to express their feelings and emotions on the computer,� Carlos said. “That in itself would be a statement made. But my thing was very clear. I don’t know if they could express the statement we made in Mexico on the computer.�

Gary Lewis / For The Bulletin

At the Central Oregon Shooting Sports Association (COSSA) Range east of Bend last month, Bill Fockler, right, and Gary Lewis kept an eye on the targets while John McDevitt, left, and Mike Middleton discussed camera angles. The group was shooting a product demo video for a new laser activation system.

Technology Continued from D1 These guns were equipped with green lasers from a wellknown manufacturer. The point is to allow an operator to engage a perpetrator without activating a laser until the critical moment.

Most of the time, however, trigger protocol is maintained with the trigger finger held off, activating the laser for threat escalation with a primary switch on the laser itself. Two switches for two very different scenarios. It can be easily installed in systems that employ polymer frames and long-travel triggers such as the S&W M&P and Glocks. With certain modifications, AR-style guns can be enhanced with a TriggerPoint system.

TriggerPoint hopes to make an impact by selling the speed of their point-shoot system to military and law enforcement.

My first task was to use the handgun to engage five targets,

shooting from the hip or from a low-ready position. Target 1 kind of looked like my motherin-law, a purse held in her outstretched hands. Targets 2, 3, and 4 were bad guys. Target 5 was a suspicious-looking innocent. Bad guys were supposed to get double-tapped, while good guys got indexed, evaluated and spared.

Without any training, without using sights and in front of a studio audience, which included the proud inventor and his son, a Marine, I was supposed to demonstrate a system I had never even heard about until that morning.

Brad put his camera on my shoulder and I lit up the good gal target with the laser, lowered the muzzle and pulled up on the next target. BAD GUY, bam-bam, BAD GUY, bam-bam and so on. After several runs through the course, Terry handed me the AR-15.

This I would shoot from a low hold, trigger-activating the laser, moving not as fast as I could, but as smooth as I could.

Smooth is fast. Fast is smooth.

I was itching to get to work while camera angles and ejection ports were discussed. Finally, into action. Bap-bap. Bapbap. Bap-bap. Love this stuff.

Terry Abst plans to market his product to law enforcement and military. There are applications where the technology can make personnel more efficient at their tasks.

Will there be naysayers? Absolutely. The laser is activated by one ounce of trigger pressure or two millimeters of travel requiring less than half an inch more travel to fire a bullet at a ready, waiting, amoral. But there may be a place for it in certain law enforcement or military applications.

I can say I tried it first at the COSSA Range.

ing inspired to come up with a good idea for an outing. When my outing buddy suggested Fort Rock, I shrugged.

BELOW: Standing on the edge of the tuff ring, the photographer captured the shadow of the rock formation.

“I guess so.”

But I was wrong. I should have been excited. Fort Rock is a great spot to spend an afternoon. I’d even suggest visiting in winter, especially if you don’t mind wearing layers — it may be more fun than sweating it out on the hot rocks come summertime.

Under gray, wet skies, we drove south, through La Pine, and turned left onto state Highway 31. We stayed on that road for about 30 miles, then took another left at a sign for Fort Rock. Ahead of us, the 300-foot-tall, crescent-shaped ring of rock loomed, looking something like nature’s answer to the Roman Colosseum.

A few miles later, we slowed as we drove through the tiny town of Fort Rock and made another left on the other side of town.

Recipe for large crowds at sno-parks this weekend

By Ben Salmon The Bulletin

President’s Day weekend is usually a busy time for Central Oregon’s recreation areas, but this year could be even more crowded than usual, says Chris Sabo, trails specialist for the Deschutes National Forest.

Trail conditions are looking “pretty decent” across the forest and “really good” at higher elevations, Sabo said Wednesday, as light snow fell on his snowmobile group near Wanoga Butte south of Wanoga Sno-park.

“The ski trails, especially around Virginia Meissner Snopark, are going to be in pretty close to great shape,” he said.

“The non-groomed trails will

TRAIL UPDATE be anywhere from fair to good depending on the elevation.

The lowest-elevation trails on the forest are still marginal to not rideable, but that’s the very lowest.”

Sabo said the Six Mile and Lower Three Creek sno-parks do not have enough snow to ride or ski.

Elsewhere, though, trail groomers are “hitting it pretty hard, working on getting it in tiptop shape,” he said.

Combine all that good news

with the coming holiday weekend and lack of snow in other parts of the Northwest, and you have a recipe for potentially huge crowds on the trails, Sabo said.

Big crowds mean folks should watch out for each other, be considerate and take care on roads and trails, even more so than usual. Sabo predicted that the Meissner, Wanoga, Dutchman, Edison and Ten Mile areas are likely to be “hammered” with people unless rain moves in and slushes things up, thus keeping those people away.

Besides each other, snowplay enthusiasts should be aware of the potential for avalanche danger, Sabo said. Forest officials

have had reports of natural and human-caused slides in recent weeks.

“The word is that with this warmer snowpack, things aren’t maybe as set up as they would be with a normally cold winter, so we’ve got some warmer temperatures in the snowpack and some built-in, persistent instability, perhaps, on certain slopes in certain areas,” he said. “Folks need to keep an eye on things.

Use caution. Do your snowpack assessments and slope stability assessments.”

Man prefers to play host instead of being a guest Dear Abby: My husband, “Kent,” and I enjoy entertaining. We often throw birthday parties for friends, as well as holiday parties and dinners and barbecues during the summer. The problem is, whenever we receive an invitation to attend a gathering at someone else’s home, Kent responds with, “Ask them to come here.” I think this is rude because our friends are just reciprocating.

This issue came up twice last week. When I asked Kent why he doesn’t like to go to our friends’ homes, he says he prefers to entertain in his own house. I don’t think it is good manners to ask a host to move the party to our home.

Incidentally, when we do go, Kent always enjoys himself, so it’s not social anxiety, and he’s definitely not shy. Would you tell me if I’m making too much of this?

— Embarrassed in Alaska Dear Embarrassed: I don’t think so. While your husband’s impulse to host the party might seem generous the first few times the offer is extended — after a while the burden of gratitude can hang heavy and destroy friendships. That’s why it is important for people to be able to reciprocate — and for others to allow them to.

Dear Abby: I have been dating a man for four years. I told him I am ready to end our relationship if he isn’t ready to get married within the next year.

Two months ago, he gave me a beautiful 2½-carat diamond ring and announced to family and friends that we are engaged. He has not discussed any wedding plans, but he says the wedding will be within the time frame I am asking for.

I went to a jeweler today to have the band on my ring enlarged a bit and was told that my stone is not a real diamond. Abby, this man owns his own business and is wealthy! He spends thousands on golf trips every year and just spent a great deal of money on high-end house furnishings.

DEAR ABBY My head is spinning. I am embarrassed to tell anyone of this fraud. What is your take on this?

Do I confront him? Am I fooling myself thinking that this man truly wants to marry me?

— Dumbfounded Or Just Dumb? in Florida Dear Dumbfounded: My “take” on this is that your fiance was trying to pull a fast one. If he would behave this way about your engagement ring, what else would he be less than honest about in the future?

Whether you “confront” him or not depends upon how you define the word. If it were me, I’d remain calm, tell him what I’d learned and how, listen to what he had to say and take my cue from that.

Dear Abby: Please remind your readers that a nice thing to do on Valentine’s Day is to go to a veteran’s hospital to visit the veterans who are there — especially those from World War II, whose numbers are dwindling.

The wards generally have parties going on for them. Try to attend. You’ll find a group of very appreciative people there.

— Service Officer, American Legion Post in Maine Dear Officer: Thank you for a terrific suggestion. Valentine’s Day — with all the marketing that goes with it — can be one of the most depressing days of the year for singles. A sure way to keep the blues away is to do something nice for someone else. What you’re proposing not only fits that category, but also provides a way to meet other generous-hearted people. What better way to spend this coming Sunday afternoon?

‘Facing Ali’

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

PASADENA, Calif. — Though he was heavyweight champion of the world three times, Muhammad Ali’s opponents were no wimps.

At last, 10 bruisers who fought Ali tell their side of the story in the documentary “Facing Ali,” airing at 9 p.m.

Monday on Spike TV. Charismatic, talkative and witty, Ali wasn’t always viewed as the “butterfly” he claimed to be. “We didn’t think it was funny at the time,” said Larry Holmes, who beat Ali by a TKO in 1980. “But he said a lot of things to me, said a lot of things to Joe (Frazier) about Joe. And, you know, we didn’t appreciate it. And we were there to fight and to win and we was trying not to get hurt while we was doing what we had to do.

“Ali played a very important part in our lives,” said Holmes, who’s sporting a close-cropped haircut and a beige suit with a dark dress shirt.

“Without him, boxing probably wouldn’t have been alive because he had the mouth.

He can talk, and he makes people like him. … So Ali had a lot going for himself. He had a lot of charisma. … A lot of people didn’t like Ali because of the service thing, not going in there, but everybody (it) seemed around the world learned to love him.”

Ali had refused to serve in the military during the Vietnam War, citing religious reasons, and was forbidden to fight for four years.

That marked a turning point in the boxer’s life, says Derik Murray, executive producer of the documentary, at a press gathering. “One of the things that our boxers have shared, is there was a real difference between when Ali took those four years off,

Heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali stands over Sonny Liston and taunts him to get up during their title fight in 1965. Ali knocked Liston out one minute into the first round of their bout at the Central Maine Youth Center in Lewiston, Maine. when he was banned from boxing,” Murray said.

“Prior to that, nobody touched him. From that moment on, when he came back after four years off, he started to take the beatings. He started to take the hits.

And I think to Larry’s points, he had to create a strategy so that he actually could change his way of fighting so that taking the hits was part of the process going forward for him in his battles.

But it’s a huge difference from that point forward.”

Joe Frazier, who fought Ali three times, beating him in 1971, recalls, “We had three of the greatest fights in history. He won two, let’s say on the recordwise, and I won one. But look at the whole situation now. Who is the real winner? … Whatever happened to him in his life, you and I not necessarily have to be responsible for. (There are) a lot of things that he has done in his life that you and I know nothing about. So you really can’t … blame me or anybody else what goes on in his life because it happened, you know …”

Holmes thinks that even though he captured the world

championship, he was always overshadowed by Ali. “Because from day one of my beginning of boxing, I heard that my legs was too small, I couldn’t punch, I was just trying to be a copy of Muhammad Ali. And I probably (was) because Muhammad Ali, at the time, done a lot of talking, got a lot of press, making a lot of money. Here I am from the projects, family very poor and not having the things that I wanted to have as a kid — growing up for myself and for my family. So, yeah, I understood all of that … I wanted one day to be me, doing the same thing that Ali was doing but in a quieter manner than Ali did.”

Holmes seized the chance when he became sparring partner for both Ali and Frazier. “I took being a sparring partner and I turned it into something that’s good for me. I wasn’t just a sparring partner. I was a stu-

dent and did learn. I was going to school, and they were teaching me what I could do to become champion, and I would act as if I were heavyweight champion of the world.

“When I left Muhammad Ali in 1975, I knew that I had a 99½ percent chance to be heavyweight champion of the world. I knew it. But I were just waiting for that time to come so that I can show the people that I can become that champion,” he said.

Holmes says Ali needed foes like him, Frazier and Ken Norton. “Because he talked up a good game, and we was all about fighting, but the talk he’d done was to get … people of the world believing in what he was doing because they had predicted that he’s going to knock someone out in four rounds and five rounds and six rounds or whatever.

“Sometimes, those rounds came through and people say, ‘Oh, he’s the greatest.’ Ali made himself the greatest by saying that.”

The ring is not for the fainthearted, says Holmes. “Boxing is no game. You don’t get into boxing to play a game. You get into boxing to fight, and you’re fighting for your life, because everybody out there say they love you. They do after the fight’s over and they’re the winner. But boxing is hard, and Ali knew it.

We all knew it, and we all took the chances that we take. So Ali, in my opinion, is still one of the great fighters of all time.”

Father of Palin grandson on the cover of Playgirl ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The teen father of Sarah Palin’s grandson is featured on the cover of the upcoming print version of Playgirl magazine — sporting nothing but a sultry gaze.

The nude photos of Levi Johnston — the 19-year-old former fiance of Palin’s daugh- Levi Johnston ter — were a huge hit last fall on the magazine’s Web site.

The publisher expects the same results with other photos from the same shoot running in the newly resurrected print version available Feb. 22 on newsstands.

Johnston fathered a son with ex-fiance Bristol, the 19-year-old daughter of the former Republican vice presidential candidate who resigned as Alaska’s governor last summer. The young couple broke up after the birth of their son, Tripp, in late 2008.

Beyoncé, Alicia Keys shoot video in Rio slum RIO DE JANEIRO — Grammy Award-winning singers Beyoncé and Alicia Keys are filming a music video in Rio de Janeiro.

Sheri Ladner is a publicist with RCA Music Group, which includes Keys’ label, J Records. She says the sing- Alicia Keys ers are shooting a video for their duet “Put It In a Love Song.”

The song is from Keys’ recently released album “The Element of Freedom.”

Brazilian television on Tuesday showed the singers performing together in front of cameras in the Morro da Conceicao shantytown.

Ladner says the video will have scenes recorded at several locations across Rio.

Jillian Michaels sued over diet supplement LOS ANGELES — Jillian Michaels has been sued for alleged false advertising by a woman who claims she was duped into buying a diet supplement endorsed by the celebrity trainer.

Christie Christensen, of Lake Elsinore, Jillian Calif., is seek- Michaels ing class-action status for the case she filed Tuesday in Los Angeles. Michaels is a hardcharging, no-nonsense trainer best-known as one of the stars of NBC’s hit reality show, “The Big-

gest Loser.”

Christensen’s lawsuit claims she bought a product called “Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Calorie Control” last month and that it has failed to lessen her appetite or cause her to lose weight as advertised.

The product and a Web site advertising include the claim, “Two Capsules Before Main Meals and You Lose Weight ... That’s It!” “Ms. Michaels knows better — taking two pills before eating does not miraculously cause weight loss,” the lawsuit states.

Christensen’s suit seeks unspecified damages that are not expected to total more than $5 million.

Mayer mouths off about Jessica, Jen NEW YORK — John Mayer is once again making news with his mouth, not his music.

The Grammy winner gave an interview to the March edition of Playboy, and in it, he calls former girlfriend Jessica Simpson “sexual napalm” and says John Mayer Jennifer Aniston is a technophobe who wishes she could go back to her successful prime — which he figures was 12 years ago.

“The brunt of her success came before TMZ and Twitter. I think she’s still hoping it goes back to 1998. She saw my involvement in technology as courting distraction. And I always said, ‘These are the new rules,’” he said.

Mayer spent a good part of the interview talking about how much he still loves Aniston, whom he dated off and on for about two years before they broke up for good last year.

“I’ll always be sorry that it didn’t last. In some ways I wish I could be with her. But I can’t change the fact that I need to be 32,” he said.

In the interview, he also tosses out the N-word and has a curious explanation for not dating black women — comparing his genitals to “a white supremacist.”

But he also says that black people love him, and tries to sum up what it means to be black: “It’s making the most of your life, not taking a single moment for granted. Taking something that’s seen as a struggle and making it work for you, or you’ll die inside. Not to say that my struggle is like the collective struggle of black America. But maybe my struggle is similar to one black dude’s.”

Mayer — known for his loose tongue — is starting to make a habit out of inflammatory comments. Last month, he gave an interview with Rolling Stone where he talked openly about his love life, including sex with other women — and himself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Feb. 11, 2010: This year, you make a difference, especially if you tune in to your instincts. Your finances could improve considerably as a result of your ability to really understand your hunches and at the same time grasp trends. You could be overwhelmed by all the different opportunities that head in your direction. Toward fall, you will feel much more empowered and capable of manifesting your desires. If you are single, a friendship could be involved in the beginnings of a new romance. If you are attached, focus on your partnership more than your personal life. You discover the power of nurturing.

AQUARIUS is a soul mate.

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 Take your time devising the right plan to create an important goal or scenario. You could be overly sensitive, and another’s comment could get the best of you. Do remember your priorities.

Tonight: Find your friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Make an effort to communicate on a deeper or more effective level. Friendship plays more and more of a role in your life. Someone demonstrates his or her caring. Check in with a key associate or friend.

Tonight: Could be a late night.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH A partner or associate demands more and more of your attention. You might wonder about your own limits right now, as someone could be infringing on your boundaries.

Be willing to go past your normal thought process. Find experts.

Tonight: Put on a favorite CD. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Others continue to dominate. You can understand a lot more if you kick back. Your understanding will evolve to a new level if you are willing to sit back. A family or domestic matter needs to take a higher priority.

Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Put forth your strongest effort, as it will make all the difference in the outcome. You can smile and let go of past concerns.

Open up to talks. Someone clearly wants to dominate. Let him. Tonight: So many different options — you choose.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Plunge into a problem with a new idea or approach.

Others back off in admiration when witnessing the depth of your ideas, focus and abilities in general. You can win over many friends and associates. Tonight: Put your feet up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Stay in touch with your needs but also the needs of those in your household or immediate family. You are far more resourceful than others think. Let go of having others react as you wish. Tonight: Make time for a child or loved one.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Keep communication flourishing and stay on top of your work. A child, loved one or creative project takes up a lot of your time. Don’t even question the viability of this focus. Sometimes you are too focused on work.

Tonight: Kick up your heels.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Be aware of your fiscal limits on your professional and/or personal budget. You might not have as much under control as you think. Take your time rethinking a situation. Ask questions and expect a more viable interaction.

Tonight: A long-overdue chat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Use the daylight hours to the max. You might not be as sure of yourself as you would like to be. How you express your thoughts can and will make all the difference in another person’s reaction. Tonight: Balance your checkbook and pay bills.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Take your time rethinking a situation. Use your sixth sense, especially if you are looking at a money matter. Your answers aren’t the only ones. Remain sure of yourself as you foster a new direction. Tonight: State your case.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Take a hint from Capricorn.

Your naturally agreeable and vulnerable personality often makes friends and draws supporters. You alone can get desired results. Others simply don’t have your personality.

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. © 2009 by King Features Syndicate

Outing Continued from E1 We noted a few spots we wanted to come back to on our way out, including the Fort Rock Historical Homestead Museum and the Fort Rock Cemetery, which we’d heard had graves dating back to the early settler days.

We quickly learned the area has nesting spots for birds of prey and pulled over to try to get photos of a golden eagle perched on a telephone pole and a bald eagle scavenging the carcass of a deer.

We parked in the day-use area of Fort Rock State Natural Area and loaded up on clothes. The sky was still gray, but at least the snow and rain had stopped.

Prominently placed signs made it clear that leashes were required for our dogs.

Other signs at the park explained how Fort Rock was formed more than 100,000 years ago. At that time, the entire valley floor held a large, shallow lake. When hot lava from within the Earth worked its way toward the surface, it came into contact with water-saturated rocks beneath the lake bed. The steam produced created a massive explosion, shooting debris into the air, then the debris fell into the shape of a ring around the volcanic vent.

Rock formed in this way is called tuff, and this particular formation is called a tuff ring. The open part of the ring, which faces roughly southwest, was formed by erosion from wind and waves, before changing temperatures in the region dried up the lake.

I also read about how early man inhabited the area around

but I declined to climb further.

My more adventurous outing buddy, Beckett Hills, left me and the dogs to poke around and explore crannies and shrubbery in the rock while he found a way to a higher peak. Most of the climbing was easy, but in a couple of places he ended up using his hands to get higher until he was perched on a peak with great views, and just in time for a break in the clouds and dramatic, golden-hour lighting.

While Beckett parked it, set up a tripod and waited for the colors to light up the rocks and sky, I meandered around the scraggly landscape. Up on top of the rocks, the melting snow and rain pooled

around growths of yellow and seafoam-green moss, reminding me of tidepools at the beach.

Once the last photos of pink clouds and fog pouring over the edges of the rocks into the ring had been snapped, we made our way back to the car.

On the way out of town, we stopped at the Fort Rock Restaurant & Pub for some refueling, and it’s there that we picked up the best tip of the day: Share the $9 pub burger if you’re there with someone else. It’s definitely big enough for two.

But the dogs had no interest in the history of the place, so we headed out on the trail that enters the ring from the open side and loops around and over about one and a half miles.

We walked up the trail along the base of the ring, but decided we could find some better views if we headed off-trail. We climbed up toward the walls of the ring and found places where the rise was gradual enough to walk fairly easily, with just a little scrambling here and there.

We got high enough to peer over the other side of some of the rocks. The views of the open fields spreading out toward white-crusted desert hills in the distance were worth the trek.

Can mouth guards really improve your performance?

By Markian Hawryluk The Bulletin

For most athletes, a mouth guard is simply a piece of protection, something to be tolerated to avoid a worst-case scenario.

But two new products are changing the way players view mouth guards and at the same time are broadening their appeal to competitors in other sports. Weekend warriors to elite athletes are putting down hundreds or even thousands of dollars to purchase mouthpieces that promise not only to protect but to improve their performance.

The products, the Makkar PPM and Under Armour Performance Mouthwear, work by shifting the jaw into a more comfortable position. The manufacturers claim that the shift helps to relax the entire body — improving posture, range of motion, flexibility, balance and strength.

The mouthpiece works by preventing the body’s natural stress response, according to Dr. William Balanoff, a dentist in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., employed by Bite Tech, the company that developed the Under Armour product. When we are under stress, he said, we clench our teeth, completing a circuit that leads to the release of stress hormones into the bloodstream as part of the fight or flight response. While those hormones can have shortterm benefits, such as increased strength or reaction time, over time the detriments exceed the gains. Performance mouthpieces aim to short-circuit the process by preventing the teeth from clenching.

“When people keep their teeth separated, they’re a little stronger,” said Dr. Vincent Quas at the Bend Orthodontic Center, one of the local dental practices that offers the Under Armour product. “But the problem is you can’t do that in the middle of competition.”

Dr. Laura Mavity at St. Charles Bend is part of the growing field of palliative care — and she’s making her mark

What does a palliative care doctor do?

Pay for performance

DR. LAURA MAVITY, a palliative care physician at St. Charles Bend, helps facilitate communication among people involved in medical care.

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

r. Laura Mavity sees the hospital’s sickest patients.

A few weeks ago she met with Ralph Garibay, a 91year-old man in dire condition. He had a gallstone that caused a gall bladder infection and near kidney failure. After M E D surgery, his prognosis was bad. At one point, hospital staff did not think he was going to make it through the night, and the family had a priest administer last rites.

Mavity, a palliative care specialist, was there to explain the situation to his family. “She told us he would be in the hospital for a while,” said Larry Garibay, Ralph’s son. As his father’s condition improved, the younger Garibay said Mavity checked in each day. “She made it a lot more understandable of what is taking place and the different avenues that we can take if something doesn’t go right.”

FITNESS

Two new mouth guards shift the lower jaw forward, allowing muscles to relax and opening the airway, which may improve performance.

Mavity explains the options available and helps

In the end, Ralph was transferred to a nursing home in Bend, where he is now. Throughout the ordeal, Larry said, Mavity’s presence made the hospital stay much less scary for all of them. “I really do love that lady. She’s wonderful.”

C I N E As hospital care becomes more complex, patients are increasingly subjected to a parade of specialists willing to try anything to extend life. Treatments are often tried, even if they have little chance of success. More care is the default practice.

Palliative care has grown on the premise that not everyone wants these heroic measures taken, particularly if they are suffering because of them. In contrast to the paradigm of more care being better care, palliative care specialists try to ask what will be best for a patient’s quality of life.

Clarification In a story headlined “Uninsured? Care is out there,” which appeared Thursday, Feb. 4, on Page F3, Dr. Mary Ellen Coulter’s discount policy was not fully explained, due to incomplete information provided to The Bulletin. She provides a discount of 30 to 50 percent for patients who are uninsured or otherwise cannot pay.

In addition, Central Oregon Family Medicine in Redmond was left out of the listing. The clinic provides a 25 percent discount to existing patients without insurance.

Obesity rates slow but still very high

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING?

Foods with extra vitamins may cost you in many ways

By Elena Conis Los Angeles Times

These days, it’s not difficult to consume 600 percent of your daily recommended value of B vitamins or 2,000 percent of the recommended amount of vitamin C — all before lunchtime.

Many energy bars, juices and other products are crammed with sky-high levels of vitamins. Gulp down an Odwalla Blueberry B Monster smoothie and get 360 percent of the daily value of four types of B vitamins. Swallow a shot of Emergen-C, and you could get more than 1,600 percent of the daily value of vitamin C. That’s not necessarily good. At some point, the upsides of added vitamins disappear — and may even about-face into downsides.

When it comes to vitamin consumption, “some is good, but more is not necessarily better,” said Joan Salge Blake, a clinical associate professor of nutrition at Boston University.

Vitamin C is a case in point.

Adults need between 75 and 90 milligrams a day, but many fortified juice drinks and self-proclaimed immune-boosting products, sometimes called “functional foods,” provide 10 times that amount in a single serving.

A little extra vitamin C may be helpful: Studies suggest that taking about twice the recommended amount could shorten the duration of colds. But consuming much more than that has little benefit, largely because vitamin C is water soluble, said Mary Ellen Camire, professor of food science and human nutrition at the University of Maine in Orono.

“Your body excretes the excess, and you get very expensive urine,” Camire said. Not to mention cramps, nausea and diarrhea — the other potential side effects of taking several grams of vitamin C or more in a single day.

The B vitamins are another good example. Overconsumption risks depend on the B vitamin in question: Consuming 500 milligrams a day or more of B6 (adults need 1.3 to 1.7 milligrams) can cause reversible nerve damage, whereas several hundred times the recommended amount of B12 (which is 2.4 micrograms) is harmless.

But it’s not clear why you would want more than the daily value anyway. Contrary to claims made by some supplement promoters, vitamin B6 hasn’t been found to alleviate the symptoms of depression or premenstrual syndrome, and vitamin B12 hasn’t been found to prevent heart disease, improve mental acuity or boost exercise performance.

Vitamin A, meanwhile, dissolves in fat, so any excess beyond what the body needs can get stored in tissue. For that reason, consuming mile-high levels of these vitamins poses its own risks.

As high levels of the vitamin build up, they can cause nausea and vomiting, blurry vision, lack of coordination and, eventually, liver damage.

In 2006, doctors at the Mayo Clinic Arizona, in Phoenix, reported in the journal Liver Transplantation the case of a 60year-old man with rashes, sore muscles, hair loss and chronic liver disease — the result of taking 20 to 100 times the recommended value of vitamin A daily

for 10 months. A similar case was reported in the journal Annals of Hepatology that same year by doctors in Buenos Aires who had treated a young man who had been taking high levels of vitamin A in order to build muscle.

Such cases are, admittedly, rare. But the trend toward vitamin supplementation combined with the popularity of so-called functional foods has led to some concern among nutritionists and public health experts, Camire says. In a survey of 1,200 teens and adults published in the Canadian Journal of Dietary Practice and Research last year, respondents reported that they would increase their consumption of certain foods — including snacks and juices — if they were fortified with extra vitamins. (The survey was conducted by the Dairy Farmers of Canada, an industry group.)

The fear of overconsumption may be there, but the evidence of harm is so far lacking, Camire added. To date, there’s no evidence that vitamin toxicity has become more common as a result of increased consumption of heavily fortified foods.

In a study published in the journal Food and Nutrition Research in October, researchers in nine

European countries pooled data on consumption of food, fortified foods and supplements to determine how frequently people were meeting or exceeding the tolerable upper limit of vitamins and minerals — the limit is the level at which toxic effects, such as vomiting or lack of coordination, can occur. Even among people who consumed high amounts of vitamins, consumption was well below the upper limit.

“With most vitamins, the upper limit is so high that it’s hard to hit,” said Roger Clemens, a professor at the USC School of Pharmacy whose research has focused on functional foods.

The risk is, at least theoretically, most pronounced in people who consume both supplements and fortified foods, he says.

Eating a variety of foods, functional or not, diminishes any overconsumption risk. “If you have diversity in your diet, it’s very remote that you would exceed the safe upper limit” for any vitamin, Clemens said.

Camire has another piece of advice: If you’re worried you might be getting too many vitamins, switch over to unfortified juices and snacks.

“In most cases, you’re not going to get too many vitamins from natural foods,” she said.

This qualifies as good news in the nation’s battle of the bulge: The obesity rate among adults appears to have leveled off over the past 10 years after skyrocketing during the previous couple decades, according to a new study.

A companion study on young people indicates much the same thing: The obesity rate has remained steady in recent years, though it’s still alarmingly high.

The studies “offer a glimmer of hope that in the United States at least, the steady, decades-long increases in overweight and obesity may have slowed or perhaps reached a plateau,” states an editorial accompanying the reports, quickly adding that 68 percent of Americans are overweight, and 33.8 percent of that group is considered obese.

“You’re talking about leveling something that’s already way the heck up the mountain,” said Dr. Michael Weiss, a pediatrician who practices in Santa Margarita, Calif., and president of the Orange County chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Weiss said he hopes policymakers and the general public don’t interpret the findings to mean that an aggressive effort isn’t needed to combat obesity.

“It certainly doesn’t change anything in my mind in terms of the opportunities we have and the funding that needs to be directed toward obesity awareness, as far as school lunches and fast foods,” he said. “I wouldn’t look at this and say, ‘We can divert funds away from that.’”

The studies were published in the Jan. 20 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.

Both studies examined population data compiled by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

V ITA MINS TAKE YOUR VITAMINS: A regular look at the sources and benefits of vitamins and minerals.

Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12 is an essential water-soluble vitamin found in a variety of foods, including meat, fish, shellfish and dairy products. It helps to maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells and is needed to produce DNA. The vitamin is bound to protein in food and is released from the bond by digestive acids. Once released, it combines with a substance called intrinsic factor (IF) before it is absorbed into the bloodstream.

The body can store several years worth of B12 in the body, so nutritional deficiency is rare. However, strict vegetarians or vegans may have difficulty getting enough B12. Breakfast cereals fortified with B12 might be an option, or they may have to take B12 supplements. Individuals who don’t produce IF, a condition known as pernicious anemia, cannot absorb B12 naturally but can take supplements that don’t require IF to be absorbed.

Because 10 to 30 percent of older people have trouble absorbing B12 from food naturally, individuals over age 50 should eat foods fortified with B12 or take a supplement.

Benefits: Apart from its normal functions and treating B12 deficiencies, the vitamin has no additional proven benefits. Researchers are testing its utility in treating Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer, cardiovascular disease and a number of rare conditions, but evidence of a benefit are still unclear.

Daily recommended amount: Men: 2.4 micrograms Women: 2.4 micrograms Pregnant women: 2.6 micrograms Lactating women: 2.8 micrograms Children (0-6 months): 0.4 micrograms Children (7-12 months): 0.5 micrograms Children (1-3): 0.9 micrograms Children (4-8): 1.2 micrograms Children (9-13): 1.8 micrograms Girls (14-18): 2.4 micrograms Boys (14-18): 2.4 micrograms

Good sources: Liver (beef, 1 slice, 2.5 oz.): 48 micrograms Clams (breaded and fried, 3 oz.): 34 micrograms Salmon (sockeye, 3 oz.): 5 micrograms Cheeseburger: 2 micrograms Yogurt (plain, 1 cup): 1.4 micrograms — Markian Hawryluk, The Bulletin Sources: National Institutes of Health

A 3-ounce serving of salmon contains 5 micrograms of vitamin B12, about twice the daily recommended amount for adults.

B12 is only found in meat, dairy and seafood.

EXER C ISE TIPS PROPER TECHNIQUE

The push-up

1

2

Morri Stewart, a trainer at the Athletic Club of Bend and Energize Fitness, demonstrates the correct way to perform some of the classic strengthening exercises.

Doing these with the proper form helps to provide the maximum benefit while avoiding injury. This exercise can be done individually or you can try all nine, running every other week in The Bulletin from Feb. 11 to June 3.

The push-up strengthens the chest and arms.

How to do it: Hands should be slightly wider than

shoulders. The key, said Stewart, is to elevate the pelvis slightly; a sagging pelvis can strain the lower back. Pull your belly button in toward your spine as if sucking in to zip up pants (1). Keep your head and neck in alignment with the rest of your body. Lower down, aiming for your chest, not your nose, to touch the mat (2). The exercise can be modified by putting knees on floor.

Cardio tennis is not for the faint of heart

By Cynthia Billhartz Gregorian

Tim Barnes, background, teaches a cardio tennis session, which combines an aerobic workout without the instruction.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — Tennis can be an intimidating sport for newbies and klutzes.

Mastering it requires speed and stamina, agility and handeye coordination, strength and finesse, smarts and prolonged mental focus.

Cardio tennis, a group exercise program that consists of fast-paced drills, also requires these skills and yet is not intimidating.

I’m a novice and a klutz, and after taking a cardio tennis class, I can only surmise that it’s because class members must move so fast and concentrate so hard on hitting the balls flying at them, that they don’t notice those who miss simple shots repeatedly.

At least I hope they don’t notice.

Tennis pros Tim Barnes and Mark McPhillips stood on sideby-side courts at Frontenac Racquet Club in St. Louis, pulling balls from a nearby cart and lobbing them to class participants recently during a drill called the “Three-Ball, TwoCourt Weave.”

Barnes stood on the east side of one court hitting air balls to the women, who stood in a row on the baseline on the west side

Erik M. Lunsford St. Louis PostDispatch

of the court. After each woman hit three balls, she ran diagonally to the east side of McPhillips’ court and lined up so he could hit three air balls to her from the west side of the net.

As I returned each of the serves to his side of the court, he lobbed a new ball at me. After I’d hit all three, I ran to the other side of Barnes’ court and got in line. We did this several times, hitting balls then running to the alternate side of the other court to do it again.

After several minutes, we moved on to an even faster drill called the “One-Ball, Drop-Shot Weave.” It required us to sprint from the baseline to the net on each court where Barnes and McPhillips were gently tossing balls over by hand. After hitting the ball — or not — we moved to the next court and so on, weav-

ing back and forth for several more minutes.

We occasionally stopped to collect balls and put them in the carts.

I was panting, sweating and as thirsty as the next women by the time we completed a dozen drills over the course of an hour.

After class, Barnes noted how cardio tennis offers a better workout than a lot of matches.

“In matches, plays end after a minute or two and you have to stop and pick up the balls and you can catch your breath,” he said. “With cardio tennis, there’s no stopping for several minutes.”

Barnes says the classes also help players improve hand-eye coordination, fitness levels, reflexes and footwork.

He’s been teaching cardio tennis for 10 years.

Continued from F1 In the heat of competition, athletes naturally clamp down.

Quas said researchers have been looking at the link between mouthpieces and performance for more than 30 years, but the devices have never gained widespread acceptance.

“It’s not new, but what they’ve done is a marvelous job of marketing,” he said. “And they’ve developed a material that is superior to anything we’ve had before.”

Dr. Kelley Mingus, at Distinctive Dentistry at Broken Top in Bend, has been selling the Makkar product for about 18 months.

“It’s more than just a shockabsorber or a cushion,” he said. “You’re encouraging your body to be in proper postural alignment, which will help you resist injury.”

Mingus said the mouthpiece also positions the jaw in more of an underbite position, which helps to open up the airway.

“From an endurance athlete perspective, you’re going to have an increased airflow, more oxygen in the lungs and less lactic acid buildup,” he said.

That could help runners and cyclists train harder and longer before tiring and, in theory, improve performance on race day.

Do the mouth guards work?

There’s plenty of anecdotal evidence. More than half of the New Orleans Saints football team that played in the Super Bowl on Sunday wear the PPM mouth guards. So do alpine skier Bode Miller and pro golfer Scott McCarron.

Meanwhile, Under Armour and Bite Tech have signed pro athletes, including football star Adrian Peterson and hockey great Brett Hull, as investors and pitch-men.

And there’s some research to suggest the performance claims are more than just

marketing.

With funding from Makkar, researchers at Rutgers University tested the effect of the PPM in 22 male professional and college athletes. They found the mouthpiece significantly improved their performance in vertical jumps and a strength test but did not impact the number of repetitions they could do on the bench press.

Bite Tech funded research at The Citadel in South Carolina that tested how the mouthpiece affected endurance activities. The researchers found that lactate levels in the blood were 18 percent lower with the mouthpiece than without. The higher the lactate levels, the quicker the muscle will tire.

CT scans also revealed that the athletes’ airways were open wider when they used the mouthpiece.

The mouthpieces are slowly starting to gain appeal among competitive athletes but are just now starting to filter into the mainstream market.

“The big barrier is cost,” Mingus said. “That’s where the benefit of Under Armour comes in.

Under Armour allows you to get mass exposure, so the cost is going to come down.”

Mingus sells three different PPM products — from an entrylevel product for about $500 to a high-end custom model that runs more than $2,000. The difference is mainly in the techniques used to determine the ideal jaw positioning. The most expensive model involves a two-hour process using computers and electrodes to find the sweet spot.

The Under Armour mouthpieces range in price from $300 to $500, and Quas said he doesn’t believe there’s additional value in paying for the more expensive Makkar product and the fitting process.

“I think it’s just craziness,” he said. “PPM is exactly the same; there’s no difference.”

Mingus has sold “about 8 to 10” of the PPM products, mostly to high school students playing football or baseball or participating in wrestling.

“I think the biggest sport that’s going to have a benefit is golfing,” he said. “Increased range of motion, flexibility and balance will give you a more consistent ballstriking ability and you have an increased power stroke. This is going to be really good for the aging golfer.”

Mouthpieces would be a new development in the golf world, although several professional golfers now use them. James Chrisman, an insurance agent from Bend and a former University of Oregon golfer, purchased the entry-level PPM product from Mingus late last year. He had a chance to use the mouth guard for the first time while golfing in Phoenix this winter and noticed an immediate impact.

“I hadn’t played for a month, and I hit it great,” he said. “So it was, ‘Gosh, maybe this thing does work.’”

Chrisman said he hasn’t played enough with the mouthpiece yet to give a firm pronouncement on the product’s effectiveness, but he’s definitely intrigued. He used it mainly during practice at the driving range, but he’s noticed that he’s hitting the ball farther with his driver and irons. Is that better range of motion and flexibility, or is it all in his mind?

“Golf is all in your skull,” he said. “If it makes you think you’re doing better, then use it.”

Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Most gray hairs are unavoidable, the result of aging and genetics. But doctors and hairdressers say there are steps you can try to fight premature loss of pigment: Stop smoking. Studies show cigarettes speed up the aging process throughout the body, including your hair.

Work to lower stress.

While evidence isn’t conclusive, many believe anxiety can help trigger graying.

Get enough sleep, exercise regularly, make time for enjoyable hobbies and try meditation or deep breathing exercises.

Eat the right foods. Deficiencies of certain nutrients, including copper and B-vitamins, may contribute to early graying. Load up on dark green leafy vegetables, fruit, lean meats, nuts and seeds; take a multivitamin; avoid fatty, greasy and salty foods; and don’t skip meals.

Don’t drink too much. Excess alcohol and caffeine may be bad news for your hair.

Massage your scalp. Extra rubbing during a shampoo should help stimulate blood circulation in your scalp, which nourishes hair follicles.

Be wary of products. The only item proven to “reverse” graying is hair dye. Numerous supplements and other products, often sold on the Internet, almost certainly are a waste of money and may pose health risks.

Avoid too much heat.

Shampooing with hot water and using a hairdryer on high heat may damage hair roots; the same goes for significant sun exposure (wear a hat).

Don’t pluck. Pulling out gray hairs won’t solve your problem, but it will damage your hair root and possibly cause an infection.

See a doctor. If you have significant graying before age 30 and no family history of that trait, you may have a health problem such as thyroid disease, anemia or a vitamin B-12 deficiency. However, the majority of people don’t.

IN BRIEF BMC provided $1M in assistance in 2009 Bend Memorial Clinic officials have calculated that in 2009, the clinic provided more than $1 million in care assistance to patients in Central Oregon. The assistance came in the form of discounted services, assistance with drug costs, financial assistance programs and support of charitable clinics. The clinic also employs financial services representatives.

“Last year was a challenging year

for our community, and a challenging year for many of our patients,” BMC CEO Marvin Lein said. “Although we’ve never felt it appropriate to trumpet our charitable efforts, we do want the community to know that TotalCare also means finding ways to help offset health care costs in times of need.

Next week Imaging centers take steps to reduce radiation exposure for patients.

Mavity Continued from F1 Mavity’s primary role at St. Charles Bend is to help patients step back and see the big picture so they can make educated decisions about their treatment. She is called in to discuss the options for people with serious, often terminal, illnesses.

Describing herself as a “quality-of-life doctor,” Mavity fills a unique niche in hospital care.

Palliative care specialists take on patients that other doctors often avoid, those near the end of life or who have exhausted all of their treatment options. Unlike most physicians, Mavity spends the bulk of her time talking with patients and families and very little time conducting tests or procedures. Her goal, she said, is to help patients come to terms with their illness, make them comfortable and guide them through treatment decisions.

“Your mortality is smacked in your face when you get a really bad diagnosis,” she said. “That’s what palliative care tries to do is pause and talk with patients and families about (physical, emotional and spiritual) issues to be sure that we’re not missing ways that we could help them feel better.”

Growing specialty Early in her career, Mavity, now 37, found herself drawn to complex situations. When doctors divided up hospital patients who needed to be seen, “they’d say, ‘There’s this one really bad case. They need a family conference to figure out what’s going to happen next,’” she recalled. “I found myself volunteering to do those, and most people don’t.”

Mavity also had personal experience dealing with death. Her mother died at age 48 of cancer.

“I felt like that was something I could bring some personal experience (in), to make me better at my work.”

After practicing for several years as an internal medicine physician, she received specialized training in palliative care through a fellowship sponsored

by Veterans Affairs and OHSU. “I’ve always enjoyed interacting with patients and families and really trying to focus their care on what they want,” she said.

Several years ago, she called Dr. Alan Ertle, senior vice president of medical affairs at Cascade Healthcare Community, St Charles Bend’s parent company, and talked to him about palliative care in Central Oregon.

“We were one of the last big hospitals in Oregon that didn’t have an inpatient palliative care program,” said Ertle. “It was one of those things where we thought we were doing good enough.”

Mavity started at the hospital in the spring of 2009 with the mission to head a formal program.

Today, in addition to Mavity, St. Charles Bend’s palliative care program includes nurses, social workers and case managers.

So far, CHC offers the palliative care program only in Bend; the hospitals in Redmond, Prineville and Madras do not yet have formal programs.

Before Mavity arrived, “there was always this piece missing,” said Colleen Greene, a case manager for the Comfort Care program at St. Charles Bend. “The patients were always kind of left on their own to decide what they wanted to do. I think palliative care can step in and help patients make some of those decisions. I think it’s just what we’ve needed.”

Many other hospitals have decided it’s what they need as well.

A decade ago there were few doctors who specialized in palliative care and few hospitals with palliative care programs. Today, most large hospitals have a formal program, according to Dr. Porter Storey, the executive vice president of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, a professional society.

Though Mavity is the only specialist doing formal inpatient palliative care in Central Oregon, there are at least three other doctors who are certified in the specialty. Dr. Lisa Lewis is the medical director at Partners in Care, a Bend hospice and home health agency. Dr. David Tretheway is medical director at Redmond-Sisters Hospice. Dr. Michael Knower is a primary care physician in Prineville.

Palliative care was recognized as a formal medical specialty in

W HAT ’ S GOI NG AR OU ND Stomach flu cases on the rise locally The nurses at Central Oregon Pediatric Associates have seen a lot of cases of acute gastroenteritis recently, according to Denise Del colle, an advice nurse at the clinic.

Gastroenteritis, often known as the stomach flu, can be triggered by a number of viruses; common

symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea. Typically, it lasts several days and is not serious enough to need a doctor’s care.

How to treat: Dehydration can be the biggest challenge, said Del colle. Try giving children small amounts of Pedialyte. If a child has a fever, you may use

medication, but do not give oral ibuprofen, which is a stomach irritant. Del colle said children should see a physician if they are lethargic, won’t take fluids, vomit everything for more than eight hours or if there is blood or mucous in their stool.

Ralph Garibay, left, pictured with his son Larry, was a patient of Dr. Laura Mavity’s after an infection nearly killed Ralph. Mavity helped them understand what was happening and the steps they could take, Larry said. “I really do love that lady.”

2008. Storey said that recognition was “huge” for the field because doctors now look at palliative care specialists as experts in a particular area of medicine. “For years hospice doctors knew that we knew things that other doctors didn’t know,” he said, “but other doctors didn’t know that. So we often were not brought in.”

Death panels or discussion?

The growth in palliative care has not been without controversy. While the availability of palliative care is lauded by many doctors and hospitals as an essential patient service, it has generated debate in other areas.

When Sarah Palin and other conservatives spoke of “death panels” created by proposed health reform legislation, the comments were largely taken as an indictment of the specialty.

Palliative and hospice care providers were left explaining that they encourage discussion about death, not death itself.

Even among physicians, there are misconceptions about what palliative care doctors do. “I get really defensive when I’m expected to go into a room and make sure the patient understands that we’re not going to do anything for you anymore and it’s time for you to die,” said Mavity. “That’s not what I do.”

Mavity said she spends a lot of time explaining herself and her specialty. “Just saying palliative care or hospice has connotations in our culture,” she said. “Some of us have a really hard time talking about death and planning for death.”

One of the biggest misunderstandings about palliative care is that people need to be near death to use it. Unlike hospice, Mavity consults with patients who are often still receiving active treatment. Patients can continue to receive active treatment for as long as they wish, though Mavity will try to explain what is and is not likely to help them.

In discussing health care options, Mavity said, “what makes complete natural sense to me makes absolutely no sense to somebody else. It’s really important to bring that focus back to the patient and the family and what they value.”

Meeting patient needs Mavity is brought into a case by another physician, typically the doctor responsible for the patient’s hospital care. Across the country, the culture of a hospital determines how often a palliative care specialist is used, Storey said. Sometimes there is resistance from doctors who think they already handle palliative care issues well, or who don’t want to talk to patients about the fact that treatment may no longer be helpful.

At OHSU, for example, Dr. R. Hugo Richardson said some specialties are more receptive to using a palliative care physician than others. “When I started in the field, many physicians had a great deal of difficulty understanding it. At OHSU now, we have more and more (departments) who do understand what we can add.”

Mavity said that she does sometimes encounter resistance from physicians who might see ordering palliative care services as giving up on a patient. “Some (physicians) have that in them that having someone die on their watch is a failure, and that’s a really hard thing as a physician because everybody does die at some point.”

Overall, she said, physicians in Bend seem very receptive to

using her expertise.

Dr. Stephen Kornfeld, an oncologist at Cancer Care of the Cascades, said that he uses Mavity frequently. “When I look at them, I’m focusing predominantly on their cancer,” he said.

“Sometimes the big issue for patients is how the cancer is affecting their life. That’s where you need a palliative care expert.”

Kornfeld said that many doctors, himself included, don’t always have the time to sit down with patients and help them best meet all their needs.

Research has shown that some doctors are not comfortable discussing end-of-life care. A study published last month surveyed physicians caring for cancer patients and found that, even if a patient had less than six months to live, most would not discuss end-of-life issues until the patient was feeling unwell (sometimes patients feel fine despite their prognosis) or had exhausted all treatments. The reasons they gave were often wanting to continue treatment on patients or not wanting to crush a patient’s hopes.

“Some doctors are better at having that talk than others,” Ertle said. “Dr. Mavity is the best.”

That, Ertle said, has been the biggest boon of the palliative care program. “Our job as a hospital and as physicians is to make sure we’re meeting the needs of the patient. We don’t always do the best job of determining what those needs are. The palliative care program is one way we can enhance our ability to meet those needs.”

Boomers aren’t losing their hearing as much as parents did, study finds

By John Fauber Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

MILWAUKEE — Although they were the first generation to endure rock concerts, boom boxes and iPods, the baby boomers have lost less of their hearing than their parents, according to a study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.

The findings suggest that hearing can be preserved even as people age.

“We didn’t know that,” said Wen Chen, a program director with the National Institute on Aging, which financed the study.

The study used data from the Beaver Dam Offspring Study, which involved 5,275 people from that community and their offspring born between 1902 and 1962.

While everyday life may be getting noisier, actual hearing loss from one generation to the next has declined, said Weihai Zhan, lead author of the study, which was published Friday in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

Overall, the baby boomers had 31 percent less hearing loss than their parents.

Among men who were born between 1944 and 1949, 36 percent had a hearing impairment. However, among men born between 1930 and 1935, 58 percent had a hearing loss at the same age.

Among women born between 1945 and 1949, 12 percent had hearing impairment, compared with 23 percent among women born between

1930 and 1939.

The authors cautioned that because the study was based in the mostly white Beaver Dam, Wis., area, its results do not necessarily apply to other regions or racial groups.

Still, the findings run contrary to the belief that large numbers of baby boomers are destined to lose their hearing because of exposure to loud music.

Indeed, hearing loss from onetime events such as concerts may be temporary, while daily exposure to excessive noise is a bigger concern, co-author Karen Cruickshanks said in a statement.

More stringent rules about workplace noise and fewer people working in noisy industries such as mining and manufacturing also may be contributing to less hearing loss in the younger generation.

Reduced smoking may also play an indirect role, said Uni-

versity of Wisconsin researcher Zhan. Smoking increases the risk of heart disease, which can lead to less blood flow to the inner ear, he said.

Another factor may be better health care and antibiotics resulting in less inflammation and infection, said Cruickshanks, a professor of population health sciences and ophthalmology and visual sciences.

A default has occurred under the terms of a trust deed made by Sandra L. Geary, as grantor to AmeriTitle, as Trustee, in favor of Washington Mutual Bank, as Beneficiary, dated June 9, 2005, recorded June 15, 2005, in the mortgage records of Deschutes County, Oregon, as Instrument No. 2005-37523, beneficial interest now held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, successor in interest to Washington Mutual Bank as covering the following described real property: Lot Fifteen (15), Guy's Acres, Deschutes County, Oregon.

COMMONLY KNOWN AS: 724-726 N.E. Larch Avenue, Redmond, OR 97756 Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and a notice of default has been recorded pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes 86.735(3); the default for which the foreclosure is made is grantor's failure to pay when due the following sums: Monthly payments in the sum of $1,296.23, from August 1, 2009, together with all costs, disbursements, and/or fees incurred or paid by the beneficiary and/or trustee, their employees, agents or assigns. By reason of said default the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation that the trust deed secures immediately due and payable, said sum being the following, to-wit: $222,210.53, together with interest thereon at the rate of 7% per annum from July 1, 2009, together with all costs, disbursements, and/or fees incurred or paid by the beneficiary and/or trustee, their employees, agents or assigns. WHEREFORE, notice hereby is given that the undersigned trustee will on April 8, 2010, at the hour of 11:00 AM PT, in accord with the standard time established by ORS 187.110, at the main entrance of the Deschutes County Courthouse, located at 1164 N.W. Bond Street, in the City of Bend, County of Deschutes, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor has or had power to convey at the time of the execution of said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given to any person named in ORS 86.753 that the right exists, at any time that is not later than five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by paying to the beneficiary of the entire amount due (other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by tendering the performance required under the obligations or trust deed, and in addition to paying said sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default, by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the obligation and trust deed, together with trustee's fees and attorney's fees not exceeding the amounts provided by said ORS 86.753. In construing this notice, the masculine gender includes the feminine and the neuter, the singular includes the plural, the word "grantor" includes any successor in interest to the grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by said trust deed, and the words "trustee" and "beneficiary" include their respective successors in interest, if any. Also, please be advised that pursuant to the terms stated on the Deed of Trust and Note, the beneficiary is allowed to conduct property inspections while property is in default. This shall serve as notice that the beneficiary shall be conducting property inspections on the said referenced property.

A purchaser who buys this property at a foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out after giving you notice of the requirement. If you do not have a fixed-term lease, the purchaser may require you to move out after giving you a 30-day notice on or after the date of the sale. If you have a fixed-term lease, you may be entitled to receive after the date of the sale a 60-day notice of the purchaser's requirement that you move out. To be entitled to either a 30-day or 60-day notice, you must give the trustee of the property written evidence of your rental agreement at least 30 days before the date first set for the sale. If you have a fixed-term lease, you must give the trustee a copy of the rental agreement. If you do not have a fixed-term lease and cannot provide a copy of the rental agreement, you may give the trustee other written evidence of the existence of the rental agreement. The date that is 30 days before the date of the sale is March 9, 2010. The name of the trustee and the trustee's mailing address are listed on this notice. Federal law may grant you additional rights, including a right to a longer notice period. Consult a lawyer for more information about your rights under federal law. You have the right to apply your security deposit and any rent you prepaid toward your current obligation under your rental agreement.
