Work began in September, but most evidence still underground

In obesity epidemic, one cookie makes little difference

By Tara Parker-Pope

Classro o Two stori m wings e four clas s each, with srooms, staff offices a n study are d an open group a on each floor.

The basic formula for gaining and losing weight is well known: a pound of fat equals 3,500 calories.

That simple equation has fueled the widely accepted notion that weight loss does not require daunting lifestyle changes but “small changes that add up,” as the first lady, Michelle Obama, put it last month in announcing a national plan to counter childhood obesity.

In this view, cutting out or burning just 100 extra calories a day — by replacing soda with water, say, or walking to school — can lead to significant weight loss over time: a pound every 35 days, or more than 10 pounds a year.

While it’s certainly a hopeful message, it’s also misleading. Numerous scientific studies show that small caloric changes have almost no long-term effect on weight. When we skip a cookie or exercise a little more, the body’s biological and behavioral adaptations kick in, significantly reducing the caloric benefits of our effort.

But can small changes in diet and exercise at least keep children from gaining weight? While some obesity experts think so, mathematical models suggest otherwise.

As a big cut in Medicare payments to doctors goes into effect, local seniors shouldn’t worry about losing access to care, according to local health care officials.

Congress is working on a bill this week to reverse that cut — which has now ballooned to 21 percent — and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is delaying processing payments for 10 days, so doctors won’t have their reimbursements cut between now and then.

The American Medical Association sounded the alarm last month about the cuts and warned of potentially dire consequences, including the possibility that some doctors would no longer accept Medicare. But officials at two of the area’s largest health care providers said they weren’t planning on turning anyone away. AMA Presidentelect Cecil Wilson said even if Congress reverses the cut temporarily, Medicare is becoming unprofitable for many doctors.

“There’s no increase in payments to account for increases in cost of providing care,” Wilson said.

Bend Memorial Clinic Chief Financial Officer Barbara Derebery said the cuts won’t change the clinic’s policy of accepting new Medicare patients.

TARGET: CANCER

Cycle of a drug trial: recovery and relapse, then rebuilding Editor’s note: This is the third in a three-part series that chronicles the initial human trial of an experimental cancer drug. Part I appeared Sunday in The Bulletin, and Part II Monday.

By Amy Harmon New York Times News Service

ORLANDO, Fla. — On a sunny afternoon last June, Dr. Keith Flaherty stood before a large room packed with oncologists from around the world and described the extraor-

dinary recovery of the melanoma patients in the experimental drug trial he was leading.

It was a moment he had looked forward to for months. The results were a promising sign for an approach he and others had championed as more effective and less toxic

than standard chemotherapy.

But even as he flashed the slide of his favorite graph, showing tumors shrinking in nearly every patient, his mind was on what had happened to them since.

You don’t have to go coupon crazy to save Just take advice from those who are a bit obsessed

By John Ewoldt (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS — Karen Gunter and Jennifer Weber both consider couponing a part-time job and actually make a small profit from their Web sites. Carrie Rocha started couponing as a way to lift her family out of a $50,000 debt.

Each of the three Minnesota women offers ways to save on her own couponing blog or Web site, teaches classes on couponing (it’s a lot more than clip and save) and gets together regularly with others to share strategies and trade coupons. What starts out as a necessity to save the family budget often turns into a race to greater savings.

“I spent $300 to get $2,000 in groceries for my family of four last month,” Gunter said. “People hear that and they think I must have OCD: obsessive coupon disorder.”

Gunter, Rocha and Weber are among the 11 percent of shoppers who always use coupons.

Sixty-six percent of Americans use coupons either very often or sometimes and 23 percent rarely or never use coupons, according to a 2009 survey by Illinoisbased NCH Marketing Services.

Those of us who clip or print coupons are using them in record numbers. More than 311 billion coupons were distributed nationwide last year and consumers redeemed 3.2 billion of them, a 23 percent increase from 2008.

‘Are you shoplifting?’

Gunter, whose husband is unemployed, said her family would have lost their house if not for her couponing. Rocha’s family recently bought a new car and paid cash, thanks to the income she gets from her couponing Web site. Weber said that when her husband first looked at the bags of groceries and the small amount she paid, he asked, “Are you shoplifting?”

All three get so many products free with coupons that they donate surpluses to food shelves, relatives and friends.

Ever wonder how they do it?

Casual couponing tips • Go to local sites that pick the best weekly deals at supermarkets in your area and link to printable coupons.

• Start a price list with five of your most commonly purchased items at the supermarket. Keep track of sale prices, wait for the item to go on sale and/or use a coupon with it, too. Add more items if time allows.

Many items in supermarket ads are featured but not on sale. This tip helps you know if it’s a truly good price.

• Go directly to the Web site of your favorite products and register for coupons. Examples: Pillsbury.com, BettyCrocker.com, Target.com and GeneralMills.com.

• Buy an item on sale with a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon for maximum savings.

• Shop double coupon days at your local supermarket. Some grocers accept manufacturers’ coupons up to 90 days past the expiration date.

Here’s one example from Weber.

Target recently had Gillette Fusion razors on sale for $7 each.

She had a $2 off Fusion razor store coupon on her cell phone from Target’s new text coupons sent every Sunday (www.target .com/mobile), two $4 manufacturer’s coupons from the newspaper inserts and a $5 gift card from Target with the purchase of two Fusions. With the sale price and her three coupons, she got two razors for $4. With the $5 gift card, she profited a buck.

If you want to learn to save as much as the pros, check out their Web sites or attend one of the classes. Before long you’ll be buying 10 or more Sunday papers a week just for the coupons, going online for additional coupons and tips, devoting an entire room to food storage, and slashing grocery costs by 75 percent.

But not everyone is a coupon hoarder, even in hard times.

Most coupons are an advertisement for a product we will never buy. Coupon critics complain that most grocery coupons are for highly processed and snack foods. Shoppers looking for healthier options have to dig deeper, said Gunter, but they’re there.

Weber estimates that spend-

“I spent $300 to get $2,000 in groceries for my family of four last month. People hear that and they think I must have OCD: obsessive coupon disorder.”

— Karen Gunter, coupon user

• Avoid spam-filled, time-wasting sites such as Coolsavings.com.

• Print up to two of each coupon per coupon site per computer.

• Save the entire coupon insert from Sunday’s papers. Coupon Web sites like Pocket Your Dollars refer to the date that a coupon appeared in the Smartsource, Red Plum or Procter & Gamble inserts. The sites tell you when an item is on sale and which insert has a coupon. Write the date of the Sunday that the insert appeared on the cover.

• Buy items that rarely go on sale at discount grocers like Aldi, including produce and meat.

• Search for coupons online using the name of the item and “printables.” Example: Tide printables. You might have to register or become a Facebook fan first.

• Know your sale and coupon cycles. Most are about three months apart. Buy accordingly. An exception to the rule is a seasonal item. Canned soup coupons are rare in the summer.

ing 30 minutes a week can save the average person up to 25 percent on grocery and household items. She wants to pay it forward with the ideas that she learned from a woman in line with her at Cub. “She spent an hour with a stranger explaining how she got $130 worth of groceries for $30,” Weber said. “Now I offer the same tips free on my Web site.”

Firefighters try to extinguish a fire caused by looters Monday in a supermarket in Concepcion, Chile.

An magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck central Chile early Saturday, causing widespread damage.

Chile seeks aid as devastation sinks in

By Alexei Barrionuevo and Marc Lacey New York Times News Service

ANGOL, Chile — Chile’s government, after initially waving off outside aid, changed course Monday as the devastation from the powerful earthquake sunk in and the nation’s pressing needs became clear.

With the desperation of many Chileans mounting, the United Nations said that the government had asked for generators, water filtration equipment and field hospitals, as well as experts to assess just how much dam-

age was caused by Saturday’s earthquake.

Chile has always been considered Latin America’s most earthquake-ready country. Its children learn to run for cover during quake drills before learning to read. Its building codes are robust. Its disaster manual is thick, laying out all the scenarios for the temblors that are a regular part of life.

But despite all that, the powerful quake that jolted Chileans awake has left the country reeling.

Collapsed bridges and damaged roadways have made it difficult to

even get to some areas. Downed phone lines and cellular towers have made it impossible to communicate. And many residents in the most damaged areas have not only taken food from supermarkets, but also robbed banks, set fires and engaged in other forms of lawlessness.

The quake has also exposed the fact, experts say, that although Chile is one of the most developed countries in the region, it is also one of the most unequal, with huge pockets of urban and rural poor, who suffered most in the quake.

On Chilean coast, harrowing stories of tsunami destruction

By Michael Warren and Roberto Candia The Associated Press

TALCAHUANO, Chile — When the shaking stopped, Marioli Gatica and her extended family huddled in a circle on the floor of their seaside wooden home in this gritty port town, listening to the radio by a lantern’s light.

They heard firefighters urging Talcahuano’s citizens to stay calm and stay inside. They heard nothing of a tsunami — until it slammed into their house with an unearthly roar about an hour after Saturday’s magnitude 8.8 quake.

Gatica’s house exploded with water. She and her family were swept below the surface, swirling amid loose ship containers and other massive debris that smashed buildings into oblivion all around them.

“We were sitting there one moment and the next I looked up into the water and saw cables and furniture floating,” Gatica said.

She clung to her 11-year-old daughter, Ninoska Elgueta, but the rush of water ripped the girl from her hands. Then the wave retreated as suddenly as it came.

Michael Robinson Chavez / Los Angeles Times

Residents in Constitucion, Chile, pass a sign Monday pointing to an evacuation route in the event of a tsunami. Most of the casualties from Saturday’s magnitude 8.8 quake were on the coast.

Such horrors abound along the devastated beach communities of Chile’s south-central coast, which suffered the double tragedy Saturday of the earthquake and the tsunami it caused.

Of the quake’s 723 victims, most were in the wine-growing Maule region that includes Talcahuano, now a mud-caked, ravaged

town of 180,000 just north of Concepcion.

Close to 80 percent of Talcahuano’s residents are homeless, with 10,000 homes uninhabitable and hundreds more destroyed, said Mayor Gaston Saavedra.

“The port is destroyed. The streets, collapsed. City buildings, destroyed,” Saavedra said.

Fed has taken extraordinary actions to contain a financial crisis and prop up the economy. Now the institution must decide how and when to wind down some of those emergency measures.

The Fed’s governors will also be involved in reshaping the central bank’s regulatory approach to try to prevent future crises.

And they will work to fend off congressional attempts to enact greater oversight of monetary policy and yank away the Fed’s power to supervise banks.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court said on Monday that it would not decide a case involving Chinese Muslims detained for eight years at Guantanamo Bay that had been set for argument this month.

The prisoners, captured in Afghanistan in 2001, have been determined to pose no threat to the United States, but the government has opposed their request to be released here.

In October, the court agreed to decide whether a federal judge in Washington had the power to order the men released into the United States. But other countries have recently said they would accept the detainees, and on Monday the justices said that factual developments since it agreed to hear the case “may affect the legal issues presented.” In an unsigned threeparagraph decision, the court erased the appeals court decision in the case and sent it back to the lower courts for re-examination.

The case involves prisoners at Guantanamo from the largely Muslim Uighur region of western China. The prisoners do not want to be returned to China, where they are considered terrorists and where they fear torture or execution.

Skilling gets sympathetic hearing WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court justices, hearing an appeal from former Enron Chief Executive Jeffrey Skilling, strongly hinted Monday they are likely to overturn his conviction, at least in part, because it rested on the notion that he cheated its shareholders of his “honest services.”

Such a ruling would not set Skilling free, but it would lower his 24-year prison term.

It could also cast doubt on the convictions of scores of public officials and corporate executives who were sent to prison for dishonest dealings.

Enron collapsed in the fall of 2001, shortly after it became acknowledged that the case involves a difficult separationof-powers question. But he said indefinite imprisonment in the circumstances was not constitutionally permissible.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that Urbina did not have the power to override immigration laws and force the executive branch to release foreigners into the United States.

clear that the supposedly highly successful energy trading company’s profits were a mirage.

Skilling had resigned a few months before the collapse and quickly sold 500,000 shares of his stock before it became worthless.

Five years later, Skilling was tried in Houston on a series of charges, including securities fraud, conspiracy and insider trading. The jury convicted him on 19 counts and acquitted him on several others. His motion to move the trial elsewhere because Houstonians were outraged and angered by the collapse of Enron had been rejected by the judge.

Drug trial Continued from A1 In the weeks leading up to the annual oncologists’ conference here, several of the patients on the trial of the drug known as PLX4032 had relapsed. One had died. Another, Christopher Nelson, who had made what seemed like a miraculous recovery in March, had lost his appetite again.

Flaherty feared what he might see on Nelson’s scan when he returned to his office at the University of Pennsylvania.

The drug’s ability to stop the melanoma, on average, he told the crowd, “appears to be approximately six months.”

“I was hoping we’d get more time,” said Dr. Grant McArthur, one of the six oncologists on the trial team, voicing the thought on everybody’s mind when the group met at the conference. None of them had a financial stake in the drug.

Flaherty, whose perpetual optimism about this kind of treatment, known as targeted therapy, raised eyebrows among some colleagues, declined to dwell on the drug’s limitations. However briefly, PLX4032 had held off the cancer by blocking a particular protein in its cells that was spurring them to multiply. If such targeted drugs were ever to provide a lasting benefit, many oncologists believed they would need to be combined with others, much as cocktails of protease inhibitors have worked against HIV. “We just need,” Flaherty said, “to find the right combination.”

Testing and trials If they acted quickly enough, they might even be able to help the trial’s participants. Many were still in remission. Those who had relapsed were searching for another treatment, acutely aware that their time was running out: Most melanoma patients die within a year after the cancer spreads.

The problem, which had bedeviled targeted therapies for other cancers, was that while PLX4032 blocked the protein made by one mutated gene, a second mutation now seemed to be driving the cancer’s growth. If that mutation could be identified, they believed, its protein could also be blocked, in a game of biological Whac-a-Mole that just might be possible to win.

The most expedient approach would be to test PLX4032 in combination with other experimental drugs that targeted other mutations, including those seen in Flaherty’s relapsing patients.

But a drug that gave a patient even a few months of life could generate billions in revenue. And the standard practice among pharmaceutical companies, which say they typically invest nearly a billion dollars developing and testing a single drug, is to get each drug approved individually before testing it with others, especially those of competitors that are still experimental. Even small Phase 1 trials can cost more than a million dollars. And one drug that was safe and effective, they worried, might be tainted by association with another that proved to have toxic side effects.

As Roche, the pharmaceutical giant that had licensed PLX4032, made plans to test the drug in larger trials in hopes of quick Food and Drug Administration approval, Flaherty’s colleagues in the laboratory would search for the new mutation in the tumor samples of patients who had relapsed, trying to understand why the drug had stopped working.

Obesity Continued from A1 As a recent commentary in The Journal of the American Medical Association noted, the “small changes” theory fails to take the body’s adaptive mechanisms into account. The rise in children’s obesity over the past few decades can’t be explained by an extra 100-calorie soda each day, or fewer physical education classes.

Skipping a cookie or walking to school would barely make a dent in a calorie imbalance that goes “far beyond the ability of most individuals to address on a personal level,” the authors wrote — on the order of walking five to 10 miles a day for 10 years.

This doesn’t mean small improvements are futile — far from it.

But people need to take a realistic view of what they can accomplish.

“As clinicians, we celebrate small changes because they often lead to big changes,” said Dr. David Ludwig, a co-author of the JAMA commentary. “An obese adolescent who cuts back TV viewing from six to five hours each day may then go on to decrease viewing much more. However, it would be entirely unrealistic to think that these changes alone would pro-

Dr. Keith Flaherty, the lead investigator in a melanoma drug trial, discusses results at a June conference in Orlando, Fla. In the weeks leading up to the conference, several patients on the drug had relapsed. The drug’s ability to stop the melanoma, on average, Flaherty told the crowd, “appears to be approximately six months.”

For his part, the doctor would try to keep his patients alive. And he would work to convince the pharmaceutical industry that the fastest path to finding a combination that really worked would require changing their standard operating procedure.

Even if some combination of targeted drugs could put melanoma into a long hibernation — and that was still not clear, he knew — it might take a cocktail of five or more such drugs to treat any given case. And it can take 10 years for even one drug to reach the market.

“If they do it the way they’ve always done it,” Flaherty complained in e-mail messages and calls to colleagues, “it will delay by years how quickly we can figure this out.”

Such frustration, he knew, went beyond melanoma specialists, especially as it grew clear that there were so many new targeted drugs to be tested and that no single one was likely to hold off any given cancer for more than a limited time.

Unable to obtain drugs from the companies themselves, some researchers were paying to have the equivalent of designer knockoffs made so they could test the most logical combinations in laboratory animals. One such experiment had arrested the growth of lung cancer in mice, and clinical researchers were “climbing the walls,” a colleague told him, because the companies who owned the two drugs had no plans yet to combine them in a human trial.

gether and do it in one shot?”

Christopher Nelson’s wife, Sharlene, wanted to know when she and her husband arrived at Penn in early October to start the Glaxo trial. “Wouldn’t that give him a better chance?”

Christopher Nelson’s latest CT scan showed the cancer throughout his body. Twelve tumors, though inactive, remained in his brain. Another protruded from his neck.

‘That was a waste’ Angel Franco / New York Times News Service

Dr. Keith Flaherty examines patient Christopher Nelson last May in Philadelphia. Nelson could barely walk when the trial started but felt healthy enough to visit the Jersey Shore in the summer. He died in January. “It’s a year I would never trade in,” Nelson’s wife said of the extra time with her husband, who had lived longer than expected.

Over the summer, Flaherty urged the leading melanoma researchers to form an alliance to make it easier and cheaper for drug companies to conduct several trials at one time, advising them which were the most promising.

Years earlier, he had secured the backing of a patient advocacy group, the Melanoma Research Foundation, for the idea. Forging cooperation among academic researchers had been more difficult, given that they compete for jobs and grant money. And many still believed that a different approach, which boosted patients’ immune systems, was more likely to produce a cure.

But the results of the PLX4032 trial offered the most substantial support to date for the targeted approach in an aggressive and common cancer. For many oncologists, it seemed to add a moral imperative to the demand

for swift testing of the drugs in combination. And on a steamy morning in August, leading melanoma researchers from across the country gathered at a meeting in Boston to discuss it.

“This is the most important meeting for melanoma patients that’s happened in years,” said Dr. Lynn Schuchter, chief of oncology at the University of Pennsylvania.

The stories of those who had recovered and relapsed on the Roche drug gave the meeting its momentum. An avid golfer in New Jersey had played three rounds in the rain when the tumor under his arm receded enough to let him swing a club. One woman, 30, who had been told before joining the trial that she should “focus on the quality, not the quantity” of her days, was informed that her scans were cancer-free.

The average time the drug halted tumor growth had stretched to almost nine months. Yet Mark Bunting, the airline pilot who had once declared himself the trial’s “leader of the pack,” had been rushed into emergency surgery when a new tumor had pierced his bowel. And Christopher Nelson’s initiation to the Glaxo trial had been delayed while he received radiation for tumors that had appeared in his brain.

The doctors agreed to hammer out the legalities of pooling resources among institutions, and Flaherty agreed to approach the companies on behalf of the alliance.

Their first choice would be to test Roche’s B-RAF drug with another one the company owned.

Glaxo had two drugs designed to block the same proteins. Novartis,

duce substantial weight loss.”

Why wouldn’t they? The answer lies in biology. A person’s weight remains stable as long as the number of calories consumed doesn’t exceed the amount of calories the body spends, both on exercise and to maintain basic body functions.

As the balance between calories in and calories out changes, we gain or lose weight.

But bodies don’t gain or lose weight indefinitely. Eventually, a cascade of biological changes kicks in to help the body maintain a new weight. As the JAMA article explains, a person who eats an extra cookie a day will gain some weight, but over time, an increasing proportion of the cookie’s calories also goes to taking care of the extra body weight. Eventually, the body adjusts and stops gaining weight, even if the person continues to eat the cookie.

Similar factors come into play when we skip the extra cookie.

We may lose a little weight at first, but soon the body adjusts and requires fewer calories.

Regrettably, however, the body is more resistant to weight loss than weight gain. Hormones and brain chemicals that regulate your unconscious drive to eat and how your body responds to exercise can make it even more diffi-

cult to lose the weight. You may skip the cookie but unknowingly compensate by eating a bagel later on or an extra serving of pasta at dinner.

This is not to say that the push for small daily changes in eating and exercise is misguided. James Hill, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Denver, says that while weight loss requires significant lifestyle changes, taking away calories through small steps can help slow and prevent weight gain.

In a study of 200 families, half were asked to replace 100 calories of sugar with a noncaloric sweetener and walk an extra 2,000 steps a day. The other families were asked to use pedometers to record their exercise but were not asked to make diet changes.

During the six-month study, both groups of children showed small but statistically significant drops in body mass index; the group that also cut 100 calories had more children who maintained or reduced body mass and fewer who gained weight.

The study, published in 2007 in Pediatrics, didn’t look at long-term benefits. But Hill says it suggests that small changes can keep overweight kids from gaining even more excess weight.

Strength in numbers

Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb also had drugs that might work best with a competitor’s. If they had needed any more incentive, the doctors were increasingly urged on by the frustrations of their patients.

“Why can’t they put them to-

Flaherty could tell by whom Roche sent to his first meeting with the company that he would make little headway. Any strategic decisions, he knew, would be made at a higher level.

Over sandwiches in a midtown Manhattan office, a Roche official told him that the best interest of patients would be served by getting its B-RAF drug approved for sale as quickly as possible. “That has to be our focus right now,” she insisted.

The request by Dr. Meenhard Herlyn, a prominent melanoma research scientist, to conduct preliminary tests of the drugs in

the laboratory met with the same response.

“You know,” Flaherty said finally, “other companies will be ready to do this.”

But his habitual breakneck pace was slower as he walked toward Pennsylvania Station with Herlyn, who had traveled from Philadelphia.

“That was a waste,” Herlyn said flatly. As they parted ways, Flaherty, for once, was at a loss for a more positive spin.

A few weeks later, when Flaherty again made the pitch for a combination trial, this time at a meeting with Glaxo, an executive hinted that the company would sponsor such a trial soon. The company had a pragmatic reason: Roche was likely to get its B-RAF drug approved first, but Glaxo might take the lead if it had a combination that could do a better job. It was becoming clearer that some targeted drugs might find a market only if combined.

“The culture is changing,” the Glaxo executive agreed.

It would be too late, however, for Christopher Nelson. On Jan. 5, Sharlene Nelson wheeled him on a stretcher to his appointment at Penn. Three days later, an ambulance took him to hospice at a local hospital.

At his wake, Sharlene Nelson told relatives she felt blessed that he had lived longer than expected. They had celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary. With the children, he had ridden every water ride at Six Flags Great Adventure.

“It’s a year I would never trade in,” she said.

One year, Flaherty thought, when he heard the news. Certainly no triumph. But it was something. Something to be built on.

Novartis and Bristol-Myers had agreed to schedule teleconferences for later in the month to talk about combination trials. He checked the dates on his electronic calendar. A meeting with Pfizer was also pending.

Toyota Camrys not recalled shown to have problems, too

By Bill Vlasic New York Times News Service

Toyota has recalled 6 million cars in the United States over concerns about sudden acceleration.

But an analysis of government documents shows that many Toyota Camrys built before 2007, which were not subject to recalls, have been linked to a comparable number of speed-control problems as recalled Camrys.

While owners of all makes of vehicles have filed complaints with the government about speed control problems, the Related analysis — • Criticism based on a reof Toyota view of 12,700 raises delicate c o m p l a i n t questions records in the Page A6 United States over the last decade by The New York Times — reveals that Toyota had more complaints involving crashes than any other carmaker.

Many of the complaints were about vehicles not covered by recalls. The 2002 Camry, for example, had about 175 speed-control complaints. Roughly half of those involved crashes.

By comparison, the 2007 Camry, which was recalled, was the subject of about 200 speed-control complaints, with fewer than a quarter of those resulting in accidents.

In his congressional testimony last week, James Lentz III, the president of Toyota Motor Sales USA, noted that other auto manufacturers had had complaints of sudden acceleration.

Of the 12,700 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration consumer complaints analyzed

by The Times, the Ford Motor Co. had the most, about 3,500.

Toyota ranked second, with about 3,000 complaints, but those were linked to far more accidents — 1,000 — compared to 450 crashes for Ford.

All told, from 2000 through 2009, Toyota had one speed-control crash complaint per 20,454 vehicles sold in the United States.

Ford had one complaint per 64,679 vehicles. Honda had one per 70,112 and GM one per 179,821.

Asked about The Times’ findings, a Toyota spokesman said on Monday that pre-2007 Camrys had been investigated and cleared of defects in three previous inquiries by the safety agency. “At the conclusion of these investigations, no specific evidence of a trend regarding safety issues was found,” said Brian Lyons, the spokesman.

Lyons said that the 2002 and

WASHINGTON — Two thousand federal transportation workers were sent home Monday and jobless benefits suddenly ended for some laid-off workers in a spending dispute tinged with election-year politics.

Democrats seized on the impasse to portray Republicans as obstructionists willing to block popular programs that create jobs and provide relief to the unemployed. Adding its voice to the flap, the White House said it was trying to “shame” Republican Sen. Jim Bunning of Kentucky

Medicare Continued from A1 “That doesn’t make any difference in the strategic plans or (operations) objectives here,” Derebery said.

Physicians at The Center: Orthopedic & Neurosurgical Care & Research were watching developments carefully but did not expect to reduce or eliminate the number of Medicare patients they see.

“If it does go through, our policy will be to continue to see Medicare patients, for the time being,” said Dr. Knute Buehler, an orthopedic surgeon at the Center. “We’ve been though this so many times before. The problem is you’re not dealing with the underlying problem. They just kick the can down the street a few more times. At some point, they’re going to kick the can and it’s going to fall off the cliff.”

Continued from A1 Monthly prices for all four of the company’s basic television packages will rise: the Limited package will increase from $17.95 to $17.99; the Family package from $29.50 to $29.99; the Essentials package from $43.75 to $45.29; and the Preferred package from $49.75 to $52.99.

The increases are 0.22 percent, 1.66 percent, 3.52 percent and 6.51 percent, respectively.

The company said it has added some channels in the last year, including the NFL Network, NFL RedZone and the MLB Network, as well as a number of high-definition channels to its lineup.

From a programming perspective, the high-definition channels don’t cost more, but they do require more capital expenditure because they use more bandwidth, said John Farwell, the company’s vice president of business operations.

BendBroadband last raised its television rates May 1, 2009, but only for the Essentials and Preferred packages, by 1.86 percent and 3.75 percent, respectively, according to The Bulletin’s archives.

Set-top box rental prices will remain unchanged, but the monthly service fee for digital video recorders will rise from $2 to $3.

Monthly prices for the company’s add-on television packages, including for premium channels such as HBO and Showtime, also will increase by roughly 2 to 3 percent, according to the company.

2003 Camrys with six-cylinder engines had also been subject to two corporate service actions aimed at addressing momentary surges in acceleration. He said the changes were “not issued to resolve any computer software or electronic throttle control concerns.”

New York Times News Service

A separate examination by The Times of Transport Ministry records in Japan revealed a similar finding. In reports since 2001, Toyota vehicles have been cited with a greater frequency in complaints of sudden acceleration than those of other major carmakers.

for single-handedly blocking the $10 billion extension.

In fact, it appeared the spat would have little impact because lawmakers expect to resolve the dispute this week.

But in the meantime, 41 highway projects were to be shut down because federal inspectors were off the job. Most laid-off workers receiving unemployment benefits won’t be affected — unless the impasse drags on — but those seeking payment extensions won’t be able to obtain them.

“Six times last week, Democrats asked to extend their unemployment benefits for a short

time while they work on a longer extension. Six times, Republicans said no,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. “The Republicans in the Senate are standing between these families and the help they need while these benefits expire.”

Bunning, who is not seeking re-election, has single-handedly held up a bill since Thursday that would extend the programs for 30 days. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs called out Bunning on Friday and Monday, saying, “Sometimes even using their names doesn’t create the shame that you would think it would.”

Buehler said if the cuts remain in place, physicians would work within the structure of the Physician Hospital Alignment, a group of area physicians aligned with Cascade Healthcare Community to ensure patients could still get the care they needed.

A bill to extend unemployment and temporary COBRA health benefits would have delayed the Medicare cut for a month, to give lawmakers time to craft a long-term solution. Last week, though, an objection by U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., prevented a vote on the measure. He objected to the cost of the bill, estimated at $10 billion, arguing it should be paid for with unspent stimulus money, rather than new funds.

U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., was one of several Democratic senators who urged Bunning to allow a vote on the measure, in a Senate floor speech late Thursday and in several press conferences.

“This unfair filibuster could jeopardize seniors’ access to doctors and needs to end right now,” said Merkley spokeswoman Julie Edwards.

Depending on the procedural hurdles thrown up by Bunning or other Republicans, a vote on preventing the cuts could come later this week or early next week.

As long as that happens, the cuts shouldn’t affect BMC’s operations at all, Derebery said.

“Since 2002 there’s always been pretty dramatic cuts to physicians on the professional side and fortunately they usually do come back and adjust it somehow,” she said. “We are kind of used to it.”

The company said the usage allowances have been successful, but costs such as labor, fuel and equipment replacement can no longer be absorbed.

“After 12 years without a single price increase, it has become necessary to pass on a portion of our increased costs,” the company says on its Web site.

BendBroadband is not raising prices for mobile broadband service or its home phone service.

In her letter, Tykeson said she’s aware the timing of the price increases is unfortunate given the economy. She adds that the company has “absorbed a good deal” of the programming costs from past years, “but we simply can’t absorb it all.”

Asked if she is worried the new increases might drive customers to alternative sources of television programming, such as satellite, the Internet or over-the-air broadcasting, Tykeson said she understands customers have choices.

W B Karadzic: Islamic militants to blame THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Wartime Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, defending himself against charges of Europe’s worst genocide since the Holocaust, told judges Monday he was not the barbarian depicted by U.N. prosecutors but was protecting his people against a fundamentalist Muslim plot.

During a four-hour opening defense statement at the U.N. war crimes tribunal, Karadzic barely referred to specific allegations of mass murder at Srebrenica, indiscriminate shelling of Sarajevo, the destruction of Bosnian Muslim and Croat villages or the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people during the 1992-95 war in Bosnia.

But he took personal responsibility for Serb actions, as Yugoslavia dissolved and the region descended into a war in which some 100,000 people were killed, saying he was standing up for ethnic Serbs against Muslim Bosnians.

Sale of U.S. arms to Taiwan to proceed The proposed U.S. sale to Taiwan of missiles, helicopters and ships valued at about $6.4 billion will go forward.

The House and Senate foreign affairs committees took no action on the proposal during the 30-day window for objection that ended Sunday, thereby allowing it to go forward in the face of protests from China.

The Defense Department wants to sell Taiwan the most advanced Patriot anti-missile system, which is built by Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. The system, valued at $2.8 billion, would add to Taiwan’s network of 22 missile sites around the country to defend against a Chinese attack.

CIA bomber’s video says he lured targets The suicide bomber behind the Dec. 30 attack on a CIA base in eastern Afghanistan claims in a posthumously released recording that he lured U.S. and Jordanian intelligence officers into a trap by sending them misleading information about terrorist targets as well as videotapes he made of senior al-Qaida leaders.

The bomber, a Jordanian physician named Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, also claims that he intended to kidnap only a single Jordanian intelligence officer, but then stumbled on an unexpected opportunity to attack a large group of Americans and their Jordanian allies at once.

“It wasn’t planned this way,” Balawi says in an undated, 44minute videotape released Sunday by as-Sahab, the media arm of al-Qaida. He attributes the change to “the stupidity of Jordanian intelligence and the stupidity of American intelligence” services that invited him to Afghanistan to help set up a strike against al-Qaida targets.

The video, if authentic, would be the second recorded statement to surface in which Balawi talks of his plan to penetrate Forward Operating Base Chapman, a highly secure CIA base in eastern Afghanistan’s Khost province.

Iran closes publications critical of government TEHRAN — Iran closed a leading newspaper and magazine critical of the government on Monday, further silencing dissenting voices in the Islamic Republic after months of anti-government protests.

The high-profile closures came a day after six journalists and opposition activists held for suspected involvement in the country’s postelection turmoil were released on bail, Iranian news media reported. Dozens of others remain in jail, opposition sources said.

The daily newspaper Etemaad, or Trust, and the weekly magazine IranDokht were banned until further notice by the Press Supervisory Board, a media watchdog council led by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. The board closed Etemaad for going beyond “the limits of the press,” the semiofficial Iranian Students News Agency reported. Although the board said the paper was “temporarily banned,” previous such closures in practice have dragged on indefinitely.

Toyota president repeats apologies on China trip BEIJING — Apologizing several times and bowing twice, Toyota President Akio Toyoda arrived in the world’s largest automotive market to assuage fears about the safety of his company’s vehicles.

“The global recall has caused a lot of worries and confusion among Chinese consumers. We want to apologize sincerely,” Toyoda said in a Monday news conference before bowing in front of hundreds of Chinese journalists.

Flanked by seated Toyota executives, Toyoda stood and read a prepared statement explaining that he rushed to Beijing as quickly as possible after testifying at a congressional hearing in the U.S. last week.

Growing criticism of Toyota feeds fears of antagonism toward Japan New York Times News Service WASHINGTON — Ever since the Transportation Department stepped up pressure on Toyota over its recalls several months ago, two delicate questions have hung over regulators: Is the Obama administration trying to help the Detroit carmakers it bailed out last year by attacking Toyota? And, will those attacks lead to new trade tensions with Japan?

Those issues, which have been debated on talk radio and in blogs and opinion columns, were front and center last week at House hearings into

sudden acceleration of Toyota cars.

They are bound to come up again today, when the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation conducts its inquiry into Toyota’s problems.

Last year, the Treasury Department provided $65 billion to assist reorganizations at General Motors and Chrysler, which both spent brief stints in bankruptcy.

The Treasury holds 61 percent of General Motors and 8 percent of Chrysler and appointed directors to each company’s board. Edward Whitacre Jr. was re-

cruited by the Treasury to become GM’s chairman and was subsequently made chief executive by the company.

Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., a longtime advocate for Detroit’s carmakers, placed the subject squarely in front of Toyota last Tuesday during a series of rapid-fire questions to James Lentz III, president of Toyota Motor Sales USA. Asked whether he believed the stakes held by the Treasury Department in GM and Chrysler were influencing the Transportation Department’s actions, Lentz replied: “I don’t believe that. The government is acting fairly.”

AT&T announced Monday that its long-awaited 3G network and its first Central Oregon retail store are both launching April 1.

The store, located at 63455 N. U.S. Highway 97 in Bend, will be a 2,100-square-foot space in Cascade Village Shopping Center, across from Taco Del Mar and next to Regis Salons.

The 3G network will provide iPhone and other AT&T smart-phone users with the fastest Internet and voice coverage the company offers, AT&T said.

AT&T first announced in March 2009 it planned to introduce 3G coverage to Central Oregon and open a retail store. Since then, the company has applied for and built multiple wireless antennas and towers throughout the region.

The company’s smart phone users in Central Oregon currently can surf the Internet on a mix of 3G and the slower EDGE networks, company spokeswoman Colleen Smith told The Bulletin in January.

There were 326 notices of default filed in Deschutes County in February, according to data from the Deschutes County Clerk’s Office.

That’s an increase of 33 percent from the 246 notices filed in February 2009 but a 19 percent decrease from the 402 notices filed in January 2010.

A notice of default is a legal document initiating foreclosure proceedings, though not all default notices end up in foreclosure.

There were 3,507 default notices filed in all of 2009 in the county, an increase of 82 percent from the 1,925 filed in 2008, and 495 percent more than the 589 filed in 2007.

Government extends refinancing program The federal government announced Monday that it is extending its home loan refinancing program through June 30, 2011.

The program, which allows a homeowner to refinance his or her mortgage if the mortgage is underwater by up to 125 percent of the home’s value, had been set to expire June 30, 2010.

The program also is known as the Home Affordable Refinance Program. It’s the sister program to the Home Affordable Modification Program.

According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees both programs, a total of 190,180 loans have been refinanced nationally since the refinance program’s inception in April 2009.

Cascade Bancorp planning reverse stock split, pending approval from shareholders

Chris Justema, 37, partner and president of Cascade Lakes Brewing Co., stands next to a tank brewing Blonde Bombshell, one of the brewery’s most popular beers.

By Kimberly Bowker The Bulletin

A blond woman wearing a pink, flowing dress graces the label of Blonde Bombshell, one of Cascade Lakes Brewing Co.’s most popular beers.

Blonde Bombshell, which was originally brewed in 2001, is one of 20 beers Cascade Lakes Brewery produces.

When walking into the Redmond brewing facility across from Redmond Airport, one of the first things to notice is a large decal of the Blonde Bombshell icon on a silver fermentation tank.

Inside, 50 barrels of Blonde Bombshell are fermenting to just the right taste.

“It started as a name for our beer and over the course of 10 years she’s been improved upon and she’s eye-catching,” Chris Justema, 37, partner and president of the brewery,

said of the label. “The beer in the bottle is pretty outrageous as well.”

Cascades Lakes opened in 1994 and was the second microbrewery established in Central Oregon, after Deschutes Brewery. Cascade Lakes is the 10th largest brew-

ery in Oregon, brewing 4,500 barrels per year, according to Justema.

The brewery started with four main beers, Rooster Tail Ale, Monkey Face Porter, an IPA and Angus MacDougal’s Dirk and Dagger Scotch Ale, now Angus MacDougal’s Amber. All are still brewed today.

Many other things have changed for the brewery in the past 16 years. Justema, Rick Orazetti, and Ron and Doug Kutella, in different combinations, own five restaurants and the brewery: Cascade West and Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. Lodge, both in Bend; Tumalo Tavern in Tumalo; and Red Dog Depot and Seventh Street Brewhouse, both in Redmond, the latter of which also contains equipment to brew if needed. Not every partner is involved in each location.

SAN FRANCISCO — Google Chief Financial Officer Patrick Pichette said Monday that increased antitrust scrutiny of the Internet search giant is a natural and expected result of the company’s success.

Pichette also reiterated his view that a recovering economy has helped Google get back on track in terms of financial growth.

“Google is big,” Pichette said during an appearance at the Mor-

TECH FOCUS gan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in San Francisco. “We shouldn’t pretend we’re not a big company.”

In recent months, Google has been confronted with an antitrust inquiry in the European Union and has faced criticism of its proposed settlement with book authors and publishers

from antitrust regulators at the U.S. Justice Department.

Rival Microsoft Corp. issued a public statement Friday warning that Google was locking rivals out of the search and advertising markets, while acknowledging that it has played a role in drawing regulators’ attentions to the Mountain View, Calif.-based company.

“With success and being large you attract scrutiny,” Pichette said. “It’s part of growing up, and you need to participate in it” by being “proactive,” he said.

The Bulletin

Bend-based Cascade Bancorp, the parent company of Bank of the Cascades, will seek shareholder approval for a reverse stock split at its annual shareholder meeting, to be held April 26 at the Bend Golf and Country Club, according to a company filing made public Monday.

The proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission says the company will ask shareholders to approve up to three different reverse stock split scenarios: 1-for-3, 1-for-5 and 1-for-7.

In a 1-for-3 reverse stock

split, for example, a shareholder would exchange three shares for one. It’s a common practice that can boost a stock’s price.

Should all three be approved, the company’s board of directors will choose which scenario is most appropriate, according to the filing. It also states the board may choose not to implement a reverse stock split, even though shareholders have approved one or more of the scenarios.

The company was notified in December by Nasdaq that its stock would be delisted if it did not close at or above $1 for at least 10 days by June 15.

Continued from B1 “We are all-inclusive — we brew here, we bottle here, we live here,” Justema said about living and working in Redmond.

Each restaurant offers different specials, menus and decor.

Cascade Lakes Lodge, for example, has been decorated as a lodge because it’s one of the first stops coming down from Mount Bachelor. The restaurant also can be a jumping-off point for other activities on the Cascade Lakes Highway.

Each pub also offers different specials, such as $2 taco nights on Tuesdays at the Seventh Street Pub, and a Mug club at the two pubs in Redmond and Bend.

The Mug club allows customers to buy a mug, which stays at the pub, for an annual fee of $35.

Customers then receive a free Tshirt, mug and $1 off every beer.

“We pride ourselves in making a clean, approachable beer that is easy to drink and can make you feel like you can have more than one,” Justema said.

Business models have not changed since the day Cascades Lakes opened — a focus on hospitality and keeping prices reasonable, according to Justema.

While business operations have not changed, the image has.

The brewery rebranded its labels and marketing materials in 2008,

Continuum Continued from B1 Saling said while each year’s winners will directly benefit from the program, organizers’ larger goal is to raise awareness in the local business community of the many support organizations available to help.

“It’s amazing how many small businesses don’t know what’s going on in this town and what’s available to them,” Saling said.

“There are a lot of us out there that can help.”

Other program sponsors include Opportunity Knocks, Central Oregon Community

Bank Continued from B1 Cascade Bancorp shares rose 1 cent, or 1.96 percent, to close Monday at 52 cents in Nasdaq trading. Its shares have closed below $1 since Nov. 9, 2009.

but outdoor recreation is still emphasized.

“For us, it’s a matter of emulating our own personalities, so as we grew, the company grew with us,” he said.

Justema joined the Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. business partners in 2003, as owner of Tumalo Tavern. Before that, he worked as a bartender at Rogue Brewery in Ashland, as a bartender in Lake Tahoe and in sales at E.&J. Gallo Winery in Seattle. He opened Tumalo Tavern in 2002.

Since its arrival, Cascade Lakes has seen five other microbreweries join the area’s beermaking ranks in Central Oregon and more than 50 in Oregon, according to Justema.

“We are proud to be Redmond’s first and only brewery,” he said.

Through its history, Cascade Lakes has adapted its beer as consumers’ tastes became more sophisticated, Justema said.

The brewing process can take two weeks for some beers, such as Blonde Bombshell, or up to six weeks for beers such as the pilsner. Bottles are distributed throughout Oregon and southwest Washington.

“We make handcrafted ales,” Justema said. “We make beer.

We’re not pushing buttons, but we make it with our own hands.”

Q:

Q:

What is your favorite beer and why?

Pine Marten Pale Ale. It is just a perfect flavor profile and it slides down easy anytime.

Q: A:

What are some challenges of owning a brewery?

Honestly, there are several ongoing challenges. First, consistently higher prices for our cost of goods. Hops, malt, grain and glass make the profitability side difficult. It’s always a struggle to figure out how to absorb these costs, to raise or not raise prices, and stay competitive in order to retain our loyal customers and … grow our business.

Secondly, managing your brew schedule to assure that you do not run out of stock in some flavors and not overbrew others so that your beer doesn’t age past its prime is always challenging.

And last but not least, there are difficulties in owning a brewery since you are a manufacturer of alcohol and there are many agencies and governing bodies that require your attention.

Q: A:

What is the main focus of the business?

Twofold — to produce world-class beers (for) our customers throughout Oregon and to provide a fantastic restaurant/bar experience for our local friends and customers in Central Oregon.

How does the Central Oregon landscape and

community influence Cascade Lakes?

As the local economy has struggled, Cascade Lakes has remained an affordable dining experience, very family-friendly and a great pub experience. It might be difficult for people to dine as they used to during the peak a few years ago, but they can still have a drink with friends or a dinner out with family without breaking the bank. We are also dedicated to outdoor recreation and have tried to make our establishments a great pre or post pit stop for all of these activities.

Our staff supports this, as I’ve noticed they like to talk shop with the locals.

A:

Q: A:

What might the future hold for Cascade Lakes?

We will be upgrading and improving the brew house this fall with new equipment to improve our efficiency and produce even better-tasting ales.

We are constantly bird-dogging for new pub opportunities in the area and are considering a couple locations for expansion.

Whether or not expansion is in our future, it’s our local customer that makes or breaks us and we’re really thankful for their business.

College and the Small Business Development Center.

Tim Casey, the chamber’s executive director and who helped form the continuum, said many business owners are stretched myriad ways in the current economy. There’s also confusion in the community about which organizations do what and what services are available. And it’s not always easy reaching out for help, he said.

“There are so many businesses struggling right now,” he said. “Entrepreneurs know their products or services well, but they have to wear so many hats, sometimes they don’t know how to wear all those hats.”

The business services, such as legal and accounting help, would be offered by the sponsors. No sponsors have yet been named, but the continuum is expecting to provide at least $2,500 in sponsor services to the first winner. The amount is expected to grow, Saling said.

The Adopt-a-Business program came out of meetings begun two years ago by the current leaders of the group, including Jason Moyer, a management consultant and the group’s de facto leader.

They initially met to talk about coordinating the many classes and seminars each provides to the community in or-

der to avoid duplication, Saling said.

From there, the talks took a turn toward economic development, including using an adoption program to attract outof-town businesses to Central Oregon. But when the economy began to deteriorate, Saling said the group shifted to helping local and established businesses.

The group is soliciting sponsors and hopes to launch in midApril. Applications are due May 31, and a winner is expected to be announced in late June.

approved in early December a 1-for-10 reverse stock split in conjunction with a planned public offering of at least $85 million. The offering was pulled later in the month, however, due to unfavorable market conditions, according to the company.

A planned private offering

of $65 million to two prominent East Coast investors remains on the table, pending the company’s ability to raise the $85 million from institutional investors.

At the upcoming meeting, shareholders will also be asked, among other things, to elect seven new members to

the company’s board of directors and vote on an amendment to remove limits on the granting of incentive awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights.

PRINEVILLE — Crook County Sheriff Rodd Clark and his former second-in-command Jim Hensley no longer work next to each other, but they will be facing off — for the sheriff’s job.

For eight years, Hensley, 54, served as Clark’s undersheriff.

Now, he feels it’s his turn to run the department.

In 2007, a former Crook County sheriff’s deputy claimed during a staff meeting that Clark, 66, threatened to fire any employee who ran against him in an upcoming election.

Clark stood trial for official misconduct and undue influence. He was found not guilty on all of the charges.

About a year after the trial, Hensley lost his position as undersheriff. He doesn’t believe it had anything to do with the trial, where some employees did testify against Clark. Hensley was never called to the witness stand.

Hensley said losing his job gave him an opportunity to run for sheriff. He still works for the department but is now in parole and probation.

“I want the Crook County Sheriff’s Office to be the best it can be,” Hensley said. “There are a lot of good people working there. I’m a firm believer we’re all accountable to the citizens.

I believe there are some things that need to be addressed, such as financial spending. I’ve seen it and I know there are areas where money can be saved.”

School’s new angle on parking draws some criticism

Architectural photography can be as simple as a walk downtown or it can require huge resources.

You’re looking for perfect image clarity, good light and perspective. And the size of the structure and its surroundings can pose additional challenges.

The pros tackle those issues using such tools as accessory lighting, tilt-shift lenses, scaffolding or even helicopter rentals. Some get access to a structure year-round to wait for the best light or use editing software to perfect the final image.

Many of us have struggled to get an entire building into the camera frame. Either the

I made this photograph as my wife stopped to check a map as we wandered the streets of Orvieto, Italy, on vacation in 2003. Shadow lines and details help make this an interesting study in architecture. Many different window types, exterior wiring, a large door and different building materials reflect different remodels and time periods in a single image. This photo was made with a Nikon D1X and an 18 mm lens with an exposure of 1/160 f/8 at 200 ISO.

An employee of Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Resort & Spa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, crosses an elaborately decorated courtyard. I made this photo while at a friend’s wedding in 2006. The architecture reflects the holistic approach of the resort, celebrating the unity of mind, body and spirit. This photo was made with a Canon 20D and a 50 mm lens with a manual exposure of 1/100 f/9 at 100 ISO. Showing a person in the courtyard helps to show the scale and purpose of the decorated space.

Equipment corner Use the setting that gives the most depth-of-field, often marked with a landscape symbol on a point-and-shoot camera.

Stabalize a camera with a tripod and use a remote shutter release. If you’re simply holding the camera, remember to stabilize it with two hands. Then exhale and squeeze the shutter-release. Poking at the button and holding the camera at arm’s length is poor technique because it increases camera shake.

A $10 million federal earmark that could put the city of Bend on its way to paying for a $71 million surface water project tops the city’s list of appropriations requests sent to federal Inside lawmakers.

• A look at Bend is asklocal earmark ing for about requests, $16.2 million Page C5 in federal help to pay for projects that range from water treatment and a new pipeline to a Bend research center, according to a news release.

Deschutes County is asking for approximately $6.9 million to pay for road construction and children’s services, staff said.

If agencies that recently submitted earmark requests are successful, they will receive the money in the federal fiscal year that begins in October.

The $10 million for the surface water project is the largest single request on Bend’s and Deschutes County’s wish lists, and it would pay for the design of a surface water project that includes a water treatment system the city needs to meet new federal regulations.

The project would also likely include the replacement of an aging water pipeline, and the city could build a hydropower plant into the project to help offset costs.

FOR BEGINNERS AND INTERMEDIATES

Use the close-up setting on your camera to photograph intricate designs, etchings or details in building materials.

FOR EXPERTS Learn about perspective control. A large-format camera with tilt and shift capabilities or tilt and shift lenses made for 35 mm DSLR cameras are ways to handle distortion problems. A more affordable and common technique applied today is the use of software to correct distortion. Use strong highlight and shadow in the picture to

Here’s the lineup

accentuate particular areas of a structure, like a long curve or window placement.

Make sure your exposure is correct; a white building or shimmering window reflection will trick your camera meter into underexposing. The opposite can be true for a dark bridge, which can cause the camera to overexpose. Understand the technique for low-light photography for dark interior spaces, like an old church. Use composition techniques like framing, one-point perspective and the rule of thirds to make the photograph aesthetically dynamic.

Each installment will feature tips from The Bulletin’s photographers, followed the next week by the best of readers’ submitted photos.

The long entrance road to the Drumlanrig Castle near Dumfries, Scotland, has a clear purpose of setting the tone to this country estate. Sometimes photographing structures from afar and with a sense of place is necessary to show some of the architect’s plan. The composition uses the line of the road to help the viewer’s eye experience what a visitor sees: magnificence. The cloudy weather common in this part of Scotland helps by making even lighting conditions. I made this photo while seeing the sights in 2004.

depth-of-field and brighter exposure. Use a tripod and slow the shutter speed. Direct front lighting or cloudy weather helps minimize shadows. Be cautious of lens distortion from tilting the camera too much. Keep the back of the camera as parallel to the building’s plane as possible.

Seek a perch from a neighboring building or hillside that helps you to fit the entire building in the frame without tilting the camera too much.

Finally, photograph with history in mind. You never know when places such as Pilot Butte Inn or the Crane Shed might be destroyed or undergo a significant overhaul like Redmond Airport.

A proposal to increase parking at a local elementary school has met with resistance from several parents and neighbors who worry it’s not safe for students.

Bend-La Pine Schools officials and the city of Bend have worked over the past two years to determine how best to add parking spots around Highland Magnet School on Newport Avenue.

After months of planning and discussion with the school’s site council, the plan has evolved to include a new way of parking in Bend: back-in angle stalls on Harmon Boulevard. But some worry that people backing into spots so close to a school is unsafe.

Deputy Superintendent John Rexford said that adding parking spaces to the existing facility was part of the $119 million bond voters passed for school improvements in 2006. The entire project is slated to cost about $100,000.

viewpoint of the lens is too restrictive to show it all, or, as in a city, other buildings get in the way.

For ideas about how to solve these problems, I recommend research: Use the books and online tutorials available to you.

I try to show what the structure is and convey the feeling an architect was trying to share. I often include people, vehicles or trees — the structure’s surroundings — in the photograph.

They add scale and are design elements perhaps intended by the architect.

Michelle Babbel took a break from work for some “retail therapy” in the Old Mill District on Monday afternoon.

The 59-degree weather made it ideal for Babbel and her friend Terri Harper to go shopping.

The two visitors from Corvallis came out from REI carrying two brown paper bags filled with backpacking gear.

“We come here three or four times a year,” said Harper, who was visiting her daughter in Redmond. “Around 60 degrees is unusual for February. It’s just a beautiful time of the year here in Central Oregon.”

In February, temperatures averaged 37.2 degrees, 2.2 degrees above normal, according to a recent report by the National Weather Service in Pendleton.

Some local business owners say the warm weather is attracting more customers to their shops, helping to make up for lagging sales in the down economy.

Anne Powell, assistant store manager at REI, said business has been busier than anticipated.

Town halls this week with Whisnant, Telfer State Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, and state Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, will hold three town halls in Central Oregon this week to discuss the Legislature’s February session. All three meetings are scheduled to run from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Today, the town hall will be held at the La Pine Library, 16425 First St. On Wednesday, Whisnant and Telfer will hold a meeting at the Redmond Fire Station, 341 N.W. Dogwood Ave., in the west side room.

Thursday’s meeting will be take place at the Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire Station, 301 S. Elm St.

High court ruling focus of discussion Sunday David Cobb and Riki Ott of the Campaign to Legalize Democracy will lead a discussion Sunday on the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission.

The event, which is free, will be held at The Environmental Center, 16 N.W. Kansas Ave., in Bend, from 7 to 9 p.m.

In its decision, the Supreme Court ruled that governments cannot prohibit corporations from giving money to political campaigns, including those that advocate for a particular candidate.

Critics of the court’s decision have argued that it will allow corporations to have an outsized influence on local and federal elections.

Cobb, a former Green Party presidential candidate, and Ott, a scientist, author and activist from Alaska, will argue in favor of abolishing “corporate personhood,� which “gives corporations constitutional rights intended solely for human beings,� according to a news release from the Campaign to Legalize Democracy.

Former Gov. John Kitzhaber has a whopping lead over rival Bill Bradbury. “There’s no reason for me to be doing this at my age unless I can be a part of big change,” Kitzhaber said.

Former Secretary of State Bill Bradbury is campaigning to the left of Kitzhaber, calling himself a progressive Democrat.

DEMOCRATIC GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARY

Kitzhaber in the lead, but not a sure thing

By Ab b y Haight The Associated Press

PORTLAND — John Kitzhaber seems to have it all in his race to become Oregon’s governor — again.

Seven years out of office, his name remains familiar to many Oregonians. His campaign contributions and endorsements grow daily. He’s got Facebook fans and Twitter followers.

And a poll — paid for by Kitzhaber’s campaign — gives him a whopping lead over old friend, and new rival, Bill Bradbury.

But more than two months before the May 18 primary election, Kitzhaber is missing one expected element: Confidence that he’ll win the Democratic nomination.

He’s not alone.

Political analysts say that while the former governor is the favorite, politics have a way of upending the sure bet.

“When you have a 30-point lead, you’re clearly the strong favorite,” said Portland pollster Tim Hibbitts, referring to the poll released last month by Kitzhaber that showed the former governor leading the former secretary of state 55 percent to 21 percent.

“It’s dangerous in these times to anoint somebody or assume somebody can’t lose or say someone is likely to win with three months to go,” Hibbitts said. “Likely is not a sure thing.”

The poll, conducted for Kit-

zhaber by Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz and Assc., questioned 554 people likely to vote in the Democratic primary election.

The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percent.

A host of reasons — from the thousands who have moved into the state since Kitzhaber served as governor in 1995-2003 to a population demanding economic action to endorsements by the big public employee unions — will influence the primary election.

The Democratic Party picked up almost 100,000 new voters in 2008, many of them young adults who are unfamiliar with Kitzhaber.

And the powerful public employee unions haven’t weighed in yet. Winning endorsements from those groups could ignite Bradbury’s campaign — or turn the race overwhelmingly to Kitzhaber.

The Oregon Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers, Oregon School Employees Association and the Service Employees International Union will decide who they’ll back early this month.

On May 18, voters will choose Kitzhaber or Bradbury to be the Democratic candidate for governor. The Republican field lacks a front-runner among former NBA player Chris Dudley, businessman Allen Alley, former state senator John Lim, and tax activ-

ist Bill Sizemore. The deadline for filing to run is March 9.

Kitzhaber, 62, has kept a low public profile while working on proposals to overhaul education and public finance, the centerpiece of his campaign. Kitzhaber wants a new state budget system that allows longer range planning, and some kind of a consumption tax to provide steady funds for schools.

Kitzhaber also is reintroducing himself to Oregonians. More than 60 percent of the people who will vote in the primary may not have been Oregon voters when he was in office, he said in an interview.

“It’s fair for people to see why my view of Oregon and Oregon politics has really changed,” said Kitzhaber, whose famous line on leaving office was that Oregon was “ungovernable.” “There’s no reason for me to be doing this at my age unless I can be a part of big change.”

Meanwhile, the gregarious Bradbury, 61, is on a more public stump, drawing battle lines with Kitzhaber.

Bradbury campaigns to the left of Kitzhaber, calling himself a progressive Democrat and vocally supporting measures that raised taxes for corporations and higher-income individuals.

Public education needs an infusion of money now, Bradbury said. He also is pushing to revamp Oregon’s kicker tax rebate to protect public services during tough

economic times.

“I feel like I’m the challenger, the underdog,” Bradbury said.

“But I feel like it’s a pretty competitive race.”

O B Woman acquitted of phone harassment PORTLAND — A Gresham woman who estimates she has made 75,000 phone calls to public officials and journalists over the past 20 years has been found not guilty of harassing the federal government by telephone.

Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Adrienne Nelson ruled last week that there wasn’t enough evidence to convict Mary Jo Pullen-Hughes on the misde-

meanor count.

The 57-year-old Pullen-Hughes meticulously follows current events. The government had told her to stop calling, then sought to prosecute her after she phoned a receptionist at the Pentagon last fall.

Dog kills daughter of reality show star ASTORIA — Oregon authorities say the 4-year-old daughter of a reality TV show star was

mauled to death in Astoria by the family’s Rottweiler.

The girl, Ashlynn Anderson, is the daughter of Jesse Browning, who stars with his father on The History Channel’s show about the logging industry called “Ax Men.” Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin says the girl’s mother found Ashlynn badly injured on their lawn in Astoria on Sunday.

She was flown to a Portland hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.

5-day week is the way to go

R

e-establishing a five-day school week in Redmond would have some drawbacks, but can anyone make an even halfway compelling case that they outweigh the

benefits? We sure can’t.

The first drawback is the cost.

The district wouldn’t have to hire any full-time teachers, but the bill for transportation, utilities and substitute teachers could add up to $545,000. Half a million bucks is half a million bucks, of course. But it seems like a fairly small price to pay for a 25 percent increase in the school week, which slipped to four days this year. The district would get such a bang for those 545,000 bucks that you have to question last year’s decision to abandon the five-day week.

The cost of resuming the five-day week shrinks, meanwhile, if you assume that the district’s teacher and classified-employee unions have a chance of getting the additional sick time they’ve demanded. And who would assume otherwise? The district estimates that the teachers’ demands alone could cost schools more than $470,000 over five years.

The classified employees’ demands would add hundreds of thousands of dollars more. Because the grievances are based on the newly lengthened workday, adopting a standard workday once again would render them moot, at least in coming years.

The biggest drawback of moving to a five-day school week is class size, which could increase on average by up to four students. This certainly isn’t desirable, if for no other reason than the sanity of the teach-

ers who have to maintain order in the classroom. On the other hand, many teachers have found the current schedule, with its four long school days, exhausting. There’s something to be said for spreading out the workload over five days.

But all of the drawbacks associated with a five-day week pale in comparison to two problems district leaders created this year. First, turning kids loose on Fridays is a challenge, to say the least, for many working parents. Second, a four-day week is a scarlet letter of sorts for the entire city. Pretend that you’re looking for a place to move your business or simply your family. You have a lot of options. Do you choose a city where kids go to school four days a week or one where they enjoy a normal school week? That’s a no-brainer, and the incentive applies just as powerfully to Redmond businesses and residents considering a move.

Redmond’s current school week is at once a powerful symbol of educational failure and an economic poison pill. Extending it by a day could be the best $545,000 the school board ever spent. District officials and employees claim that they have the best interests of schoolchildren at heart. Now would be the perfect time to prove it by restoring a fiveday week without compromising educational quality any more than absolutely necessary.

Skyliners rules need work

D

eschutes County commissioners are set this week to hold public hearings on a couple of ordinances regulating bicycle usage on Skyliners Road. While one makes good sense, the other should be rewritten before going any further.

Skyliners Road on Bend’s west side is one of the region’s most popular cycling routes — and with good reason. It is relatively lightly used by motorists, and the scenery along it is attractive. Yet the road does lead to homes, and the people who live in those homes should be able to get to and from them without endangering themselves or others. Cyclists who double up on Skyliners make that a questionable proposition, forcing motorists to swing wide to avoid them.

On Wednesday, commissioners will hold a first reading on a change to the county’s traffic laws that will require cyclists to ride single file on Skyliners except in limited circumstances. They can double up to pass, to make left- or U-turns or when taking part in a competition. Violating the ordinance would be a Class D violation, subject to a $90 maximum fine.

The change makes sense, help-

ing to ensure as it does the safety of both motorists and bicyclists. While cyclists might prefer to ride abreast to talk, they’re less likely to be hit accidently if they are moving in single file.

The other change would limit the number and duration of special cycling events on Skyliners Road, and commissioners should loosen it before it is adopted. Particularly objectionable is a provision that would force those who hope to hold events on Skyliners to consider at least three other locations first. This is the sort of jumping-though-hoops exercise that gives bureaucracies a bad name, and it’s an insult to those who organize the kinds of events the local economy needs. Do commissioners really think event organizers pick locations completely at random?

The ordinance also would limit individual events to two days. Such a limitation may not cause problems.

But is the county really willing to say “no” to, say, a four-day event that would further Bend’s reputation as a cycling mecca? At the very least, commissioners should give themselves plenty of room to grant exceptions.

My Nickel’s Worth Cut taxes I’m not sure if letter writer Tom Hall (“Coming tax increases,” Feb. 20) is serious or is pulling my leg. If he is serious, he needs to move to California, where they tax you from the cradle to the grave. What is the result? California is in debt to the tune of $24 billion.

Government is not going to balance the budget by more taxes. The state of Oregon needs to set priorities and live within a budget just as the public does.

You stimulate the economy by cutting taxes, not by increasing them. Presidents Kennedy and Reagan did this and brought us out of a recession.

Students are individuals In a Feb. 9 editorial titled “Don’t go soft on NCLB law,” The Bulletin perpetuates the popular myth that a common set of educational standards for all students is a good idea. The federal No Child Left Behind legislation was based on this faulty premise as is the upcoming set of new Oregon graduation requirements. The facts are these: (1) Students vary greatly in their abilities to benefit from instruction.

Some learn faster and more easily the lessons taught in school than do others. The range of these differences is significant and grounded in biology.

(2) In general, students all receive about the same opportunity to learn, six hours a day for around 180 school days a year.

When the innate diversity in learning rates is combined with standardized resources, student achievements are guaranteed to vary and the differences can be expected to grow wider as students get older. These realities explain why the

current fashion of common standardsbased expectations will not succeed.

Learning standards have an important place in education as points of reference and as a means to keep our priorities clearly in mind. However, they fail completely as hurdles that all students must jump together at the same time. Instead, we should focus on the individual needs of students and promote learning based on high, but personal, expectations. NCLB needs to be revised in this fundamental way or it will soon join the increasingly large junk heap of poorly conceived educational “reforms.”

Sour grapes Reading Andrew Bay’s Feb. 16 In My View (“Obama administration is pushing U.S. in wrong direction”), I wondered at his misunderstanding of our government. Mr. Bay is worried that the Constitution and federal laws will be changed by fiat, claiming that the Bill of Rights and term limits for the president (22nd Amendment) will be eliminated.

Did Mr. Bay forget Article V of the U.S. Constitution, describing the difficult method of amending the Constitution?

Has he ignored the current difficulty of passing any law through Congress? The Constitution is under attack, he warns — Christianity is being challenged. No religion is established in the Constitution; read the First Amendment! Contrary to what he says, religious symbols are visible everywhere. There are large crosses on churches and private lawns; students wear cross necklaces and Tshirts to school.

As a WWII veteran, Mr. Bay receives 100 percent medical coverage but complains about possible “nationalization” of health care and coming socialism. He

complains that senior citizens did not receive a cost-of-living increase in Social Security. But this adjustment is based on inflation. Contrary to his statement that inflation “is beginning to show its ugly head,” interest rates are at historic lows and economists are concerned about possible deflation.

Like Mr. Bay, I too am concerned about the economy. But I don’t use hysterical hyperbole and I don’t invent facts.

Mr. Bay claims our nation began dying with the election of President Obama.

Sounds like sour grapes.

Neighborhood groups The Bulletin recently criticized the city of Bend for sponsoring neighborhood associations (NAs). They implied that NAs cost too much money, are redundant and often ineffective. I wish to address the redundant argument. I believe NAs are different than most selfstarting groups in that they: 1. Stand for government rather than against it.

2. Counter apathy through accountability rather than agitation.

3. Encourage a citizen to express herself free of ridicule by the newspaper.

4. Help a citizen gain clarity and support of neighbors before approaching city hall.

I believe that government is an extension of myself to serve my neighbors and myself but that it gets distracted or corrupted at a certain level of power. It needs citizen involvement to avoid that trap and expand its human resources. The city of Bend recognized that need and sponsored the neighborhood associations.

Political correctness is putting Americans in danger

By Don Anderson Bulletin guest columnist

P

olitical correctness, or PC, denotes language, ideas, policies, and behavior seen as seeking to minimize social offense. Put another way, it’s a method of controlling public speech and thought. It’s a movement founded on well-meaning intentions to promote equality in language and representation of diverse groups. But it has been oversimplified and misused by politicians in their attempt to win the favor of as many minority and interest groups as possible.

And when it’s applied incorrectly, it can kill you.

The struggle to be “politically correct” has made us oversensitive to the words of others. It has created a society that walks on eggshells. Co-workers and potential friends can’t joke around for fear of offending. But more importantly, it has interfered with the precautions that our government needs to take in order to keep us safe.

IN MY VIEW The purpose of PC is to minimize social offense, regardless of the implications. Thus, our fear of offending any individual or group has taken precedence over protecting our entire nation from the terrorists who want to kill us. In the name of PC, our government refuses to perform the only security check likely to be really effective at airports: profiling anyone who appears to be Muslim and screening them more closely.

Ann Coulter raised an interesting question on this subject in a recent article about the Nigerian Muslim trying to blow up a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day. She asked (paraphrased): Why does the government refuse to consider requiring extra screening for passengers who look like the last three-dozen terrorists to attack airplanes?

Coulter went on to point out that since

1988, when Muslims downed Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, every attack on a commercial airliner has been committed by foreign-born Muslim men with the same hair color, eye color and skin color. And half of them have been named Mohammed. She concluded that it doesn’t take a genius to realize the one thing about these terrorists that every TSA screener could easily recognize is that they all look alike. Then she added, “It’s also the one thing the security people can’t base their actions on.”

Why? Because that would be racial profiling. Some call racial profiling bigotry based upon national origin. But what happens when the interest in preserving the safety and security of the nation comes in direct conflict with the American democratic ideal of racial equality?

The Supreme Court’s decision in Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944), held that racial discrimination on the part of the government in time of war was justified in the name of national se-

curity. And that is still the law of the land today. So if racial profiling in the name of national defense during wartime is legal and constitutional, why don’t we allow it?

You already know the answer: political correctness.

Or perhaps you don’t think we are at war. Are we? Or is that an embarrassing question to ask these days? Soldiers are killed and injured in Iraq and Afghanistan on a regular basis and that has been going on for longer than WWII. Some here are even beginning to say that we’re entering what could be called a period of endless war.

Regardless of your feelings as to whether a state of war exists regarding terrorism, the fact remains that we are not using some of the most effective resources against it because to do so would make this country appear to be insensitive to the feelings of one or more groups.

It is not a rhetorical question. Those on the left might answer: “What good are we as a nation if we don’t stand by our

principles and protect the innocent from unwarranted intrusion just because they might look like some terrorist? It would undermine our stated commitment to democratic values and civil liberties, and be a propaganda victory for the terrorists while doing nothing to add to our national security.”

To which the right might reply, “Are you out of your mind? If your kid was on that airplane, would you feel the same way?”

Comparing our current Middle East situation with what happened during WWII may be a bit of a stretch for some, but the principle still applies. Emergency powers are a compromise that allows the government to ensure the security of the state while limiting the damage to liberty and democracy.

Is this a serious enough situation to warrant that kind of action?

I know what I think. What about you?

Earmarks Continued from C1 “We’re really hopeful about the surface water project because it meets a lot of the criteria that the senators and representatives have asked for, creating jobs and alternative energy,” said Courtney Snead, assistant to the city manager.

City officials realize appropriations are not a reliable source of funding, and the city did not receive any last year, Snead said.

Deschutes County was more successful last year, when it received money for early-childhood services and roads, county staff said.

The county received $570,000 for the 19th Street project last year, on top of $490,000 it received in 2008 for the project, said Road Department Director Tom Blust.

vious earmarks will pay for the design, environmental review and preliminary work on the 19th Street project.

This year, the county asked for $5.64 million for construction of the road. The total cost of the project is estimated at $8.7 million, Blust said, and county commissioners have said they want to contribute $2 million.

The county also received $238,000 last year for the Family Access Network, said Hillary Saraceno, the executive director of the Deschutes County Commission on Children and Families. The program helps struggling families get connected to support services.

However, the county did not receive the $22 million it requested last year to pay for an expansion of the county jail, said County Administrator Dave Kanner.

Local earmark requests BEND • Surface water project: The city asked for $10 million, which would pay for the design of a water treatment project to meet federal regulations and replace an aging water pipeline.

• Mirror Pond restoration: The city wants $500,000 to finish a federally required analysis of alternatives to dredging Mirror Pond, which the city must complete before it can move ahead with any plans to deal with sediment buildup in the pond.

• Community access improvements: The city requested $750,000 to build sidewalks and curb ramps to meet its obligations under settlements related to the

to settle and move on.”

A focus on research Gilgore was particularly proud of a 1988 program offering free heart drugs to people who could not afford them, and he challenged other companies to follow suit.

At the same time, he fought against price control efforts in Congress. Gilgore was chairman of the trade group Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America in 1994 and 1995.

He told The Chicago Tribune that he had met with Sen. Edward Kennedy to say price controls would end most drug research in America — and was promptly escorted out of the office by the senator.

In an interview at the time, Gilgore said: “The fact of the matter is, prices in the United States are higher than in the United Kingdom or France or Germany or Italy or Spain. We cannot deny that they are higher.

But you cannot fuel the research engine that discovers and develops new drugs on the profits that you make in countries outside the U.S.” Five years after Gilgore retired in 1995, Searle merged with Pharmacia & Upjohn, and three years later Pfizer bought Pharmacia for $60 billion.

A love of the arts In later years, he maintained his interest in opera and art.

The Gilgores’ son Laurence is conductor of the Connecticut Grand Opera. Another son, Lance, is a lawyer in Washington for the Japanese drug company Daiichi Sankyo. The third, Lloyd, is a psychologist in Doylestown, Pa. Gilgore is also survived by his wife, five grandchildren and a brother, Dr. Gary Gilgore, of Naples, Fla. In Florida, the Gilgores established a private museum of 19thcentury Italian paintings and sculptures that have been exhibited at museums in Philadelphia, Chicago and Italy.

“Our art collection grew out of our love of opera,” Irma Gilgore said. “We realized those painters and sculptors lived at the same time as our favorite composers, when Puccini was conducting, Toscanini was conducting and the great opera singer Caruso was singing.”

Americans With Disabilities Act. • Bend Applied Research Center: The city also wants $4.9 million to build a research center to provide a space to operate and links to universities and investors for small, high-tech businesses.

DESCHUTES COUNTY • 19th Street: The county asked for $5.64 million to pay for construction of 19th Street from Redmond to Deschutes Market Road.

• Early Head Start: The county wants $800,000 to establish an Early Head Start program to serve low-income pregnant women and children up to 3 years old.

• Family Access Network: The county requested $425,000 for the network, which has advocates in schools who connect needy families to support services.

School Continued from C1 Currently, a small parking lot behind the school is reserved for faculty and staff, and Rexford said early in the process the district discovered that to line that lot to city code would actually reduce the number of spaces available. Other people park on side streets when bringing children or visiting the school.

“We’ve had a tough time figuring out how to do it,” Rexford said.

Currently, between 13 and 17 cars can parallel park on Harmon Boulevard, at the eastern boundary of the school. With the back-in angle parking, there would be about 32 parking spots available. The plan also includes creating a bus pullout on Newport Avenue directly in front of the school and augmenting crosswalks.

Supporters ...

Highland Principal Paul Dean said increasing parking spots around the school is vital.

“Because of a lack of parking and particularly a lack of parking along curbs that are adjacent to the property … it forces students to cross and the streets are of such a length that people end up crossing in the middle of streets,” he said. “Parents end up doing a variety of things that are illegal or unsafe.”

Robin Lewis, a transportation engineer for the city of Bend, said the city worked with the district on the project and honed in on Harmon Boulevard because of the block length.

Concerned about the safety of front-end angle parking, Lewis looked for another option. After learning that back-in angle parking was being implemented for a project in Sisters, Lewis said she started to feel good about the idea.

“Now you’re getting angle parking, which doubles the amount of parking on the block,” she said. “You’re backing into a known commodity, you’re heading out so you can see conflicts in front of you.”

Lewis said while concerns have been raised that drivers might back over pedestrians, she pointed to research showing that most of those accidents occur in driveways and with children younger than 4.

“They’re not really in the public sphere,” Lewis said. “It’s

a fear, but it’s not a realized fear just because of how this school operates.”

Site Council Chairman Todd Asevedo said the vast majority of parents support increased parking.

“I actually think this would be a net positive for the local community,” he said, with more parking for events that take place in Drake Park and other nearby areas.

... and critics But not everyone is convinced. Some parents and neighbors have attended meetings to voice their concerns.

Mike Marshall, who lives on Harmon Boulevard and has a child who attends Highland, was one of two neighbors to speak at a school board meeting. He supports the school and said he trusts the district will make the right decision. But he wants the school district to take a closer look at the proposal.

“There’s data showing if you put more cars in a location it’s less safe and there’s no data showing that back-in parking is safer,” he said. “I think they did a good job of putting more cars in the location, but I’m just concerned that safety is observed.”

Marshall doesn’t believe the project will result in as many parking spots as Lewis has presented and doesn’t think it’s worth spending so many taxpayer dollars on the project.

“I see they’re trying to add spaces, which is great, but is it really a solution? Is it really safe? Is it really cost-effective?”

Marshall asked. “I think they’ve looked fairly in-depth at how to expand parking, but not so much whether or not it’s really prudent or safe.”

Parents have suggested that if the parking project goes forward, Lewis should put up a sign giving an example of how to park in the stalls, or provide training sessions or brochures, or park vehicles in a couple of spots to show examples.

The district hopes to get the details settled soon so it can complete the project over the summer. If not, Rexford said, the district will simply construct the bus pullout and do other safety improvements, leaving the parking situation as is.

Gene Chenault, ‘Boss Radio’ pioneer Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Gene Chenault, half of a pioneering team that helped revolutionize rock radio programming in the 1960s with the “Boss Radio” format, first at KHJ in Los Angeles and then coast to coast, has died. He was 90.

Chenault died of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma Feb. 23 at Providence Tarzana Medical Center in Los Angeles, said his wife, Susan.

In the 1960s, Chenault partnered with Bill Drake to launch a phenomenally successful radio format that turned poorly performing stations into ratings winners and made household names of ra-

dio personalities including Robert W. Morgan and “the Real” Don Steele.

The game-changing success of KHJ Boss Radio was noted in a 1968 Time magazine story.

Weather Continued from C1 “It’s nice to see people in the store,” Powell said. “The warm weather has definitely got people thinking of their summer plans.

The warm weather makes people think about cycling and camping and paddling and getting ready for the summer.”

Powell said she has seen an increase of 8 percent in traffic to the store, a warm welcome compared to last year’s slow sales.

The hottest items in the store are clearance bicycles and related accessories.

“Our bike shop has been really busy, getting people’s bikes tuned,” she said.

Sales of backpacking and camping equipment is picking up too, Powell said. In about two weeks, the store’s winter gear will go out of season. It will be replaced with spring gear.

“As of March 14, we will be in full bike mode and no longer have skis in the store,” Powell said. “No more skis, all bikes.

Bikes and boats, so we’re looking forward to spring.”

Weighing in Across the street, Greg’s Grill has seen a 30 percent jump in business from spring last year, managers said.

Jade Brown-Godfrey, bar manager at Greg’s Grill, said she thinks the economy is on the up-

Sheriff Continued from C1 Clark said he’s running again because he loves the job.

He said much of his expertise is in budgeting and overseeing the financial aspects of the office. He said he’s used grants to improve the communications systems for the Sheriff’s Office and has been able to keep the department afloat without taxing the community.

“I’ve been able to accomplish so much without really putting the burden on the taxpayer,” he said.

He pointed to the examples of a state-of-the-art operation center used by search and rescue teams and new mobile data terminals in patrol vehicles.

Joe Solomon, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pendleton, said there will be “some fluctuations between nice springtime days and winter days, so people can expect there will be varying changes during this time of year.”

It is a typical transition from winter to spring, when there is a mix between colder and warmer days, he said.

“Bring a guy from Alaska down here, he’s going to be running around in a Speedo. You bring someone up here from California or Arizona, they’re going to be bundled up in a parka,” Solomon said.

“For the locals, I’m sure this beats the winter weather, so to most people this time of the year, you start to peel off the layers as the temperature warms up and you head into spring.”

The Bulletin

Perhaps they see themselves in an old Western movie, starring as outlaw Billy the Kid or sharpshooter Annie Oakley.

Perhaps they wish to pay homage to a time period, to the history of the American West. Perhaps they just like to shoot guns — fast.

Whatever the reason, Horse Ridge Pistoleros gather religiously in the desert twice a month for matches, year-round. The club members shoot single-action revolvers, pistol-caliber, lever-action rifles, and old-time shotguns — all while dressed in late-19thcentury garb. The get-ups are fictional. But the guns and ammunition are quite real.

“It’s basically a re-enactment of pre1900s, and the whole idea is you get to shoot period weapons … and you are required to dress the part,” said Don Emerson (alias Big Casino), clad in an old-time sheriff’s outfit. Emerson, 56 and of Bend, is the club marshal (aka president), which is fitting to his occupation as a Bend Police officer. “You can dress like a cowboy, you can dress like a towny, marshal, a saloon girl — anything you want, as long as it’s (from) that period.”

On a recent frigid Sunday morning, the bright sun was beginning to warm the air

COMMUNITY SPORTS at the Central Oregon Shooting Sports Association shooting grounds, located in the brown, sagebrush hills some 25 miles southeast of Bend near the tiny town of Millican. About 15 COSSA members were

on hand to do their Old West thing.

The shooting event may seem like a childhood backyard game. But Cowboy Action Shooting is not make-believe playtime. Rather, it is a sport with national and world competitions hosted by the parent organization Single Action Shooting Society (SASS). More than 750 SASS clubs exist worldwide, from Australia to Hungary to Hawaii.

Counters, and the timer gather around Vicki Koch, just left of center in red top, who goes as Leggs Balou on the range, as she fires her rifle at a target during a timed contest at a Cowboy Action Shooting Club gathering near Millican last week. The group gathers twice a month.

“The best,” Cox said. “I think that helped me a lot, just being around him for two years.

He had the respect of the players, the way he treated them. Lowest guy on the totem pole. No. 25. He treated you the same as he treated Mickey.”

Mickey Mantle was finishing up in 1968, on his own rickety knees. The whole team was rickety.

“Didn’t make the team in ’70,” Cox said the other day. “I told them I would go to AAA and finish up and that would be it.”

In the last week of 1970 at Syracuse, Cox was told that Lee MacPhail, the Yankees’ general manager, wanted to have lunch with him. Clearly, MacPhail had not come to town to recall Cox to the big club.

One of the most solid and imaginative executives ever, MacPhail, now 91, wanted Cox to manage the Fort Lauderdale Class A farm team in 1971.

Over the years, Cox thanked MacPhail but never asked him what he saw.

ud-caked bikes and dirt-splattered backsides are not badges of honor around here. A muddy rider could very well mean a trail somewhere has been damaged, perhaps irreparably.

Even with a milder-thanaverage winter and a week or two of mostly dry weather, the singletrack at the popular Phil’s Trail area west of Bend has yet to firm up. That’s not to say that portions of the trails are not tacky and dry. They are. But it’s the smattering of soggy spots — created not by rain or snow, but by our daily freeze/thaw cycle that collects moisture in the ground — that call for patience and flexibility.

“If you find one patch of mud, no big deal. Keep going,” says Chris Kratsch, trail maintenance coordinator for the Central Oregon Trail Alliance. “If you find a second and a third, at the next two-track (dirt road), turn off and explore the two tracks.”

Riding over muddy trails causes ruts — ruts that freeze into tire-jarring divots that reduce everyone’s enjoyment of the trail. What’s more, many riders, in their attempt to avoid a mud puddle or soggy spot in the trail, do something far worse than leaving ruts in the trail: They ride around the wet area. This ultimately widens the trail and — poof! — there goes our fun and challenging SINGLEtrack.

Kratsch goes on to explain that deep crevasses caused by riding on muddy trails ultimately erodes the surface of an otherwise nicely buffed trail.

“That rut creates a hard edge,” he says, “and in summer when it dries out, the edge crumbles and creates a soft trough.”

Luckily, we have plenty of excellent wintertime riding options in Central Oregon, including places where milder temperatures, open terrain touched by the sun, less precipitation and sandier soil types make for a refreshing change of pace over the regular three-season standbys.

“Most of (the winter mountain bike) areas have much better scenic vistas than the stuff we ride in the summertime, which is typically treed in,” notes Kratsch.

S B Basketball • Spurs waive Finley after nearly 5 seasons: The San Antonio Spurs waived swingman Michael Finley after nearly five seasons Monday, giving the 15-year veteran a chance to finish the season with more playing time elsewhere. The Spurs said they honored Finley’s request to be released from his contract, which was in its final year after he exercised a $2.5 million option this season. Finley, who turns 37 this week, will be eligible to sign with a playoff contender.

• Mountain West reprimands New Mexico coach: The Mountain West Conference has reprimanded New Mexico coach Steve Alford over his heated exchange of words with BYU forward Jonathan Tavernari, despite the coach’s insistence it was a byproduct of a hard-fought game.

The Mountain West issued a statement late Monday, reprimanding Alford “for his unduly provocative language toward an opposing student athlete.”

• Bucks’ Redd scheduled for knee surgery: Milwaukee Bucks guard Michael Redd is scheduled to have surgery on his injured left knee today. The veteran is out for the season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Jan. 10. It’s the second major injury to his left knee in less than a year. Redd tore the same two ligaments last January.

• O’Neal has surgery to repair injured thumb: Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O’Neal had surgery on his injured right thumb Monday and seems likely to miss the rest of the regular season. If he gets back for the playoffs, though, O’Neal is promising to make up for his time out.

O’Neal will miss about eight weeks, the team said. He was examined Sunday by specialist Dr. Thomas Graham at the National Hand Center in Baltimore, who performed the surgery Monday morning. The recovery timeline means O’Neal, who turns 38 on Saturday, may not be ready for the start of the playoffs April 17. The Cavaliers acquired him last summer with an eye toward the postseason, after Dwight Howard and Orlando eliminated them in the Eastern Conference finals.

Auto racing • NASCAR suspends crewman for substance violation: NASCAR has suspended a crewman from the Truck Series for violating the substance abuse policy. William Hileman is suspended indefinitely. He is a crewman for Ray Hackett Racing. He is the third person suspended this season by NASCAR for violating its drug policy.

• Earnhardt donates $1 million to Victory Junction: Dale Earnhardt Jr. has donated $1 million to the Victory Junction camp for children with serious illnesses in Randleman, N.C. The donation will be used to build The Dale Jr. Corral and Amphitheater at the camp that honors the late Adam Petty. Earnhardt made it to kick off Victory Junction’s “Keeping the Dream Alive” campaign.

Football • Jets to release RB Thomas Jones this week: The New York Jets will release running back Thomas Jones this week, allowing the leader of the NFL’s top-ranked rushing offense to become a free agent. General manager Mike Tannenbaum says Monday that the team told Jones it will cut ties with him when the league’s free agency period begins Friday. The 31-year-old Jones is coming off a season in which he set career highs with 1,402 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns while helping the Jets reach the AFC championship game.

Baseball • A-Rod to be questioned in Canadian doctor probe: Yankees star Alex Rodriguez has been contacted by federal investigators regarding a Canadian doctor accused of selling an unapproved drug. Rodriguez said Monday he was “aware” of the investigation and plans on cooperating with government officials who are looking into Dr. Anthony Galea. Rodriguez said a date for an interview has not been set.

Soccer • U.S. tops Sweden 2-0, reaches Algarve Cup final: Second-half substitute Lauren Cheney scored twice to lead the United States over Sweden 2-0 Monday and advance the Americans to an Algarve Cup final against Germany in Ferreiras, Portugal. Germany, the defending world champion, routed China 5-0 to finish first in its group.

NHL ROUNDUP

No. 10 West Virginia gets Red Wings take 3-2 past No. 19 Georgetown win over Avalanche The Associated Press

The Associated Press MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Da’Sean Butler kept the emotions of his final home game in check on the court, then let the tears flow afterward.

Butler scored 22 points and No. 10 West Virginia beat No. 19 Georgetown 81-68 on Monday night, clinching a double bye into the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament.

West Virginia (23-6, 12-5) led by as many as 27 points early in the second half and Georgetown, playing without ill leading scorer Austin Freeman, couldn’t catch up.

The free fall continues for the Hoyas (19-9, 9-8), who were ranked No. 7 three weeks ago and have lost four of five.

Before the game, Butler posed for photos with fans while trying to keep his mind

on the task at hand.

He was introduced last among West Virginia’s three seniors before the game and received the loudest ovation.

He has 1,936 points and will end up in third place on the school’s career scoring list behind Jerry West (2,309) and Hot Rod Hundley (2,180).

Devin Ebanks added 15 points, Kevin Jones scored 14 and Darryl Bryant had 11 for West Virginia.

The Mountaineers shot 43 percent (24 of 56) from the field, their 18th straight game under 50 percent. The difference came at the free-throw line, where the Mountaineers outscored Georgetown 27-14.

West Virginia got 24 points off 20 turnovers and picked apart the Hoyas with a tenacious defense and up-tempo

transition offense.

“It was their pressure,” said Greg Monroe, who led Georgetown with 22 points and nine rebounds. “That turned into turnovers and we weren’t doing the things that we could control.”

Butler grabbed a deflected pass and made a layin with 3:37 left and West Virginia’s lead never fell below double digits again.

West Virginia evened its record against ranked opponents to 4-4 this season.

Also on Monday: No. 25 Texas . . . . . . . . . . . . 87 Oklahoma . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 76 AUSTIN, Texas — Senior Damion James scored 24 points in his final home game for struggling Texas, and the Longhorns rallied for a win over Oklahoma.

DENVER — Nicklas Lidstrom scored a powerplay goal with 9:03 left in the third period and lifted the Detroit Red Wings past the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 on Monday night.

Tomas Holmstrom had a goal and two assists, Pavel Datsyuk had two assists and Jimmy Howard made 22 saves for Detroit.

It was the first NHL game since Feb. 14 when the NHL took a two-week break for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Chris Stewart had a goal and assist, T.J. Galiardi also scored and Craig Anderson had 27 saves for the Avalanche.

The game was tied when Colorado defenseman Kyle Quincey drew a minor penalty for tripping with 10:01 remaining. Lidstrom’s low shot 58 seconds later beat goalie Craig Anderson for the game-winner.

The Red Wings took a 2-0 lead in the first period, but Colorado came back to tie it in the second.

Galiardi knocked a rebound through Howard’s legs to make it 2-1 with his 10th goal of the season.

The Avalanche got even when Stewart’s slapshot from the left circle beat Howard at 11:14 of the period, his 20th goal of the year.

NBA ROUNDUP

Big second half lifts Blazers over Grizzlies The Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Nate McMillan let his team know at halftime they were not playing as if they were fighting to hold on to a playoff spot.

The Portland Trail Blazers responded by scoring 41 points in the third quarter, equaling their points in all of the first half.

Brandon Roy scored 25 points and Nicolas Batum added 21 as Portland erased a 14-point firsthalf deficit with the strong third quarter and defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 103-93 on Monday night.

“We didn’t play defense,” Batum said of McMillan’s halftime talk, adding the coach was angry. “Got too many turnovers. He just said for us to wake up.”

LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 13 points, and Andre Miller scored 12 points and handed out 11 assists as the Trail Blazers ended their five-game road trip with four victories. They also solidified their hold on the Western Conference’s eighth playoff spot.

Roy said that while the Memphis game was the last on the road trip, he knew when they left Portland it would be important since the Grizzlies were one of the teams fighting to make the playoffs. Everyone in the locker room knew it, too.

“That was the message before the game,” Roy said of the playoff talk. “We didn’t come out and play like it. At halftime, we said we have to play this team tougher.”

The win was the seventh straight road win for Portland over the Grizzlies. Meanwhile, Memphis extended its current home losing streak to seven.

“Home should be the easiest place to play,” said forward Zach Randolph, who led Memphis with 22 points.

Rudy Gay finished with 19 points, Marc Gasol added 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Mike Conley scored 13.

It also was the most surrendered by Memphis in a period this season.

“We didn’t come out with the same energy in the second half or defensive intensity,” Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said.

The Trail Blazers held a 13point lead early in the fourth, and still led by 11 with 6:43 remaining. But Memphis went on an 11-2 run to pull within 91-89 on Randolph’s two free throws with 3:25 left. Later, Randolph’s three-point play cut the lead to 93-92.

Continued from D1 “The Maston and Horse Butte areas specifically are really good for riding in winter because they are easy — you don’t need to be in great physical condition. They’re good for getting in base mileage.”

So give ol’ Phil’s a little reprieve — the trails will thank you later. In the meantime, check out some of the best winter mountain biking Central Oregon has to offer.

Maston Located north of Tumalo off Cline Falls Highway, the Maston trails across the highway from Cline Buttes are a short 20-minute drive from both Redmond and Bend.

The 30 miles of twisting, Juniper-lined singletrack at Maston is technically and aerobically easy — great for beginners, families, or any mountain biker looking for a mellow effort. At Maston, riders can keep the pace moderate and consistent, which is ideal for riding in cool temperatures (steep inclines cause sweat, which in turns makes for a FREEZING descent back to the car).

Cyclocross, singlespeed and hard-tail mountain bikes are nice options here.

Keep in mind that the funfactor window at Maston closes quickly when winter turns to spring. Trails can turn to dust and sand as early as the end of April.

Trails and intersections at Maston are not yet signed, so a GPS (global positioning system) and a map are recommended.

Maps can be downloaded at www.ormtb.com.

Kratsch is leading a trail work party at Maston on March 20. Volunteers are asked to meet at Trinity Bikes in Redmond at 9 a.m. Work will include installing trail signage, cleaning up litter and maintaining the

Shoot Continued from D1 “You shoot for competition, it’s not fast-draw in any way,” noted Emerson, as the spurred boots of impersonated generals and cowboys clinked around him. Then, suddenly, the loud clang of bullets hitting metal targets cut through the quiet.

“It’s time and accuracy,” Emerson continued. “You start the clock and you start shooting your targets and if you hit, you’re clean, and if you miss, you add five seconds to your total time. The person at the end of the day that has the fastest time is the overall winner.”

The electronic timer is sanctioned by SASS. It pauses automatically between shots and records a total time — from the start to the last shot — and records intervals between shots.

More than 20 categories of shooting exist within the scope of SASS competition.

Categories are based on age of participant and style of shooting. The three most common styles are traditional, which is shooting one gun with two hands; duelist, which is shooting one-handed; and gunfighter, which is shooting two guns simultaneously.

“You can come out here and you can compete as hard as you want,” said Emerson. “You can come out and have nothing but fun and nobody cares. … A lot of people just enjoy dressing up and having the old weapons. …

Others are really into the competition part of it.”

Horse Ridge Pistoleros, the Central Oregon affiliate of SASS, was founded in 1995 by Emerson, Mike Walsh and Jerry Koch.

Cox Continued from D1 Going into this year, Cox has managed the Braves for 24 years and 2,058 victories and Toronto for four interim years with 355 victories. He won the 1995 World Series and, of course, the fans would have liked him to win the other four World Series and maybe a few more pennants while he was at it, but his calmness worked for the players.

“Bobby always had my back,” Chipper Jones said the other day. “If you have a rotten game, he doesn’t rip you in the press.

He says, get ‘em tomorrow.”

Cox said of his managing style: “We all think we’re smart.

You pay close attention to guys

trails. A barbecue for volunteers will be held at Trinity Bikes following the work party.

Participating in the work party would be a great way for area riders to learn their way around this gem of a wintertime trail system.

Peterson Ridge The 30 miles of trail that make up the Peterson Ridge Trail system on Sisters’ west end is not a winter mountain bike destination, but the relatively low elevation of these trails (the highest point of the Peterson Ridge Trail is nearly on par with Phil’s Trailhead), combined with a mild winter, keeps them in good riding shape about 10 months out of the year.

Riders who have not ridden Peterson Ridge recently are in for a real treat. Twenty of the 30 miles of trail has been built within the last two years.

The system is now 100 percent singletrack with lots of interesting — but not death-defying — technical sections, and both the climbing and descending are moderate.

Peterson Ridge is a series of stacked loops. Think of it as a ladder. The lower sides and rungs of the ladder are aerobically and technically easy — ideal for beginners and families. The higher riders ascend up the sides of the ladder, the more elevation they gain and a bit more technical the riding becomes.

The Peterson Ridge Trail offers something that is often elusive at other favorite trail destinations in Central Oregon: views. Amazing views.

And this time of year, those white-shrouded Cascade peaks against a blue sky are just stunning.

While the Peterson Ridge Trail is well-signed on its lower routes, directional markers for the higher-elevation sections are not slated to be installed until later this month. Download a

Horse Ridge Like Maston, Horse Ridge is ideal for mountain bike riding this time of year but loses its luster in late spring, when the hard-packed dirt turns into a sandy bog.

Right now Horse Ridge, which includes several 10- to 15mile loops, is in mint condition.

Located about 15 miles southeast of Bend off U.S. Highway 20, the desert riding at Horse Ridge offers open, expansive views of the northern and western skylines.

Unfortunately, none of the trails or intersections at Horse Ridge are signed, but a good trail map can be found at www. ormtb.com.

Horse Ridge is the most aerobically and technically challenging of the three trails featured here. But do not be deterred. The portions of the rock-littered trail that throw tires around like pinballs are relatively condensed, and there is no shame in walking. Intermediate and expert riders will find this rocky section both challenging and entertaining.

Suffice it to say, full-suspension mountain bikes are a nice option at Horse Ridge.

Other good local winter mountain biking choices include Smith Rock State Park near Terrebonne, with its legburning climbs and panoramic views of Central Oregon, and Horse Butte, a nice ride in southeast Bend. Get information on both at www.cotamtb. com.

Keep in mind that trail conditions at any of these winter mountain bike hot spots can change in an instant with a dumping of snow or rain. Local bike shops are reliable resources for the latest trail conditions.

“When you are out here, you are out here to be a cowboy.”

Most of the club members travel twice a month, from March to September, for tournaments around the United States.

Regionally they compete in Idaho, Washington, Montana and Alaska. Six of the Horse Ridge Pistoleros are state-champion cowboy action shooters, five are regional champions, and one is a world champion.

Bend’s Mick Howard is a state champion. Jerry and Vicki Koch and their son, Chance, are all state and regional champions, as are Bill Stanley, of Bend, and Emerson, the club president. Chance Koch is also a world champion in the young gun (age 17 and younger) category.

“It’s a good family sport and it also prepares you for other shooting sports,” said Chance Koch, 16, who has been shooting since he was 12 years old and is interested in competing in U.S. Practical Shooting Association events in the future.

Several local shooters plan to travel to New Mexico in late June for the World Championship of Cowboy Action Shooting & Wild West Jubilee. The local club will host the Great Northwest SASS Wildbunch Championship June 4-6, and its annual Shootout at Horse Ridge and SASS Governor’s Cup will be held in July.

“Our club alone is doing 36 matches this year, so you are looking at an average of three a month,” noted Vicki Koch.

“The first time I shot a match I fell in love with it,” she added.

“It’s addictive.”

“We’ve all been involved in shooting sports,” said Walsh, 63, of Bend, referring to club members. “And a lot of us have an interest in our history, and this is a part of our history. So when we got a chance to come out and shoot some old guns the old way, we jumped at it. It’s been rather infectious all these (15) years, and we’ve met a lot of nice people along the way from all over the country at different shoots.”

The local club has nearly 100 members. Their ages range from 16 to 75, but most are in their 50s and 60s. About 20 diehard shooters show for competition throughout the winter months.

“The folks that we shoot with are so much fun,” said club member Vicki Koch, of Redmond and the wife of Jerry Koch. “You’ve got attorneys, policemen, doctors, waiters and waitresses. It’s just a whole spectrum of people from different backgrounds that are together, and everybody is just out to have a good time. You wouldn’t know who the doctor or attorney or waiter or waitress was.

like Sparky Anderson and Gene Mauch and Earl Weaver.

I couldn’t keep my eyes off them.”

Mauch had a rule-book chip planted in his head. Always thinking. When baseball went to artificial turf in the mid-’60s, players began wearing turf shoes instead of spikes. “He had his infielders practice pickoff plays, just get in front of the bag, block them off because you couldn’t get hurt,” Cox said with admiration.

“Sparky was full of tricks like that. Now it’s kind of generic. So much slugging going on now. Why put on something tricky — for one run?”

He said the players were bigger and better today — “with no steroids, OK?” His theory is, “You try to let the players play

the game themselves instead of you being responsible, like some guys have tried to do over the years.”

Cox had his knees replaced a few years ago so he could walk around New York and the other cities, and run out to set an umpire straight. When he announced this would be his final year, he said it was not fatigue or losing touch. It was just time.

Next year, he will be a consultant — “whatever that means, stay out of everybody’s hair,” he said. He will probably watch a lot of minor league games, but insists he will never wear a uniform again. “There’s no going back,” he said.

Never got to coach high school football. Never got to pick grapes.

Cross-country ski with your powder hound

the

By Anne Aurand For The Bulletin

It feels like cross-country skiing with superpowers.

Skijoring — cross-country skiing while being pulled by a dog — makes every glide a little longer, every effort a little easier. It’s fun if you already like to cross-country ski, and it’s a great way to commune with your four-legged Inside friend.

• Want to try It’s still kind of a niche skijoring? sport here in Central OrWhere to go egon, but it definitely has a and more presence. information, No one has any real numbers about how many Page E6 skijorers blaze through Central Oregon’s trails.

But the president of DogPAC, the group behind the first and only groomed, dogfriendly ski trail near Bend, guessed that fewer than 5 percent of the people out on the snow with their dogs are skijoring. There’s a regional club for sleddoggers and skijorers, and there’s at least one Bend company that manufactures skijoring gear.

Mountaineering pioneer for female climbers shares her summiting accomplishments

YOUR PET

Submitted photos

Arlene Blum treks on a reconnaissance trip of the Himalayan peak Annapurna in 1977. The following year she led the first all-women expedition to summit an 8,000-meter peak, dispelling the prevailing notion that women were not strong enough to climb the world’s tallest mountains.

By Markian Hawryluk • The Bulletin n the sport of mountaineering, breaking trail is an exhausting and thankless task. In the high mountains, the first member of the climbing team must often trudge through waist-deep snow, clearing a trail for those who follow. It’s akin to walking through a pool of water fighting against the resistance with every step. The job is so taxing, climbers generally take turns breaking trail. And those who follow literally in their footsteps benefit from the hard work of the leaders.

Women climbing mountains today can thank Arlene Blum, who broke trail for them in a series of impressive climbs in the 1970s. She is to mountaineering what Amelia Earhart is to flying: a woman who dreamed of soaring to new heights at a time when women weren’t expected to, or even thought capable of, performing such feats.

Blum will be in Bend on Friday for a presentation at Central Oregon Community College and to sign copies of her book, “Breaking Trail: A Climbing Life” (see “If you go”).

Blum grew up in the Midwest in Chicago and Davenport, Iowa. When her father left her mother alone with a small child, they moved in with her grandparents. In the book she describes how the stifling environment of her youth left her eager to explore what life had to offer.

“I was like a compressed spring where I was not allowed to do anything,” she said. “When I got to college, I wanted to do everything.”

Time to register for the Bachelor Butte Dog Derby

SPOTLIGHT

The Bachelor Butte Dog Derby brings dogsled racing back to Central Oregon. The event is a trophy race scheduled for Friday through Sunday, starting and finishing at Wanoga Sno-park.

The event will have three courses: a short course of five miles, middle course of 25 miles and long-distance course of 200 miles.

The three-course event is organized by Bino Fowler, a local musher whose dream is to someday participate in the Iditarod. The idea behind the Bachelor Butte Dog Derby is

Arlene Blum retired from climbing after having her daughter. She has a doctorate in biophysical chemistry and teaches at the University of California, Berkeley.

She attended Reed College in Portland, studying chemistry, another field where women were a distinct minority at the time. A lab partner, John Hall, invited her to go on a climb of Mount Adams. He later admitted he invited her to come along only because he figured she wouldn’t make it and would be good company for another climber who gets ill at high elevation. Despite not summiting and ripping through the bottom of her pants and the skin below by sliding down on the snow, Blum caught the bug.

ADOPT ME Meet Dez Dez is a 10-month-old shepherd mix. She is a special dog with special needs. She has a condition that causes fluid to form in her elbows. It doesn’t seem to bother her, but she will need a home where owners will take her to the vet once in awhile to have the fluid drained. If she is moving around a lot and not sleeping on a hard surface, the fluid won’t build as fast. She loves other dogs and loves to play. She has already been vaccinated, spayed and is free to the right home.

E2 Tuesday, March 2, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Going to the gym becomes exercise in embarrassment Dear Abby: I just joined a gym, and I love everything about it except for one thing — the ladies’ locker room.

I am modest so I use the private changing rooms when getting dressed. There are some women who feel very comfortable walking around in various stages of undress. Not only are they naked, they don’t think twice about bending over to get into their lockers, or standing topless while blow-drying their hair.

In a place full of mirrors, seeing all this is difficult to avoid.

I don’t want to stop using the locker room because it’s convenient. Is there anything I can do, or must I put up with the peep shows?

— Miss Modesty in Princeton, N.J. Dear Miss M.: Women in various stages of nudity are not a “peep show.” They are par for the course in women’s locker rooms everywhere. And yes, there is something you can do: As you pass through on your way in and out, keep your eyes modestly downcast. That way, at most, you will see only a few naked toes. Or visit the gym during hours when the place is not so busy.

Dear Abby: I am stationed in Iraq.

My husband is home taking care of our two teenagers — a 16-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl.

My daughter has had several sleepovers at her friends’. On two separate occasions, the mothers allowed the girls to dye their hair. They did this without first consulting my husband.

Am I old-fashioned, or isn’t this something a parent should decide for a 14-year-old? Did the other parents think that it was OK since I wasn’t home to disapprove?

My husband is doing an excellent job of parenting while I am deployed, and he would never have allowed her to dye her hair.

How should we handle this type of situation?

— Mom in Duty in Iraq

DEAR ABBY Dear Mom: Your husband should have told the adults plainly the first time it happened that he objected to the dye job. Since that didn’t happen, please remain calm and remember that it’s only hair — which will grow out. And now that you know the parents of your daughter’s friends lack judgment, any sleepovers she attends should be in your home until your return from overseas.

Dear Abby: My fiance and I are discussing being married at the courthouse before our actual wedding ceremony — months in advance. Our reason is he will finish graduate school and needs a place to stay — or else it’s back home.

The second reason is, if we live in separate households, it will create two sets of household bills.

Under one roof we can share the expenses and save ourselves an ample amount of money to put toward our actual ceremony and honeymoon.

This is our first marriage and, we hope, our last. We want to make it a memorable one. Does this make sense, and if so, how should we approach our potential guests about our plans to “tie the knot”?

— To Do or Not To Do in Alabama Dear T.D. or Not T.D.: The way to handle it is to be open and aboveboard. Let your friends — and extended family — know that you plan to be married quietly in a civil ceremony at the courthouse and have a formal renewal of vows, complete with gown, religious blessing, etc., to which they will be invited to share your joy several months later.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby .com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

New series personal for Ron Howard

By Gail Pennington In 1985, Ron Howard headed for Buenos Aires to make the movie “Gung Ho” and took his family along.

“My son, our youngest, wasn’t born yet, but the twins were infants,” he said.

His oldest daughter, Bryce — “the movie star one” — was about 4, and she was sitting next to her father.

“I proudly thought, as a forward-thinking, progressive kind of dad, that she might like to try this appetizer sushi,” Howard recalls, in a story he’s clearly enjoyed telling many times before. “She was game, took one bite and NBC via McClatchy-Tribune News Service projectile vomited all over my The cast of “Parenthood” is shown: top row; Peter Krause, Sarah shirt.”

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

When: 10 tonight Where: NBC

Braverman. Graham plays their daughter Sarah, newly arrived with her two children after a failed marriage. Peter Krause is Adam Braverman, whose young son Max (Max Burkholder) is struggling in school. The family also includes daughter Julia (Erika Christensen), son Crosby (Dax Shepard), in-laws and grandkids.

Graham wasn’t even supposed to be in the show, but Maura Tierney, the original Sarah, dropped out to undergo treatment for breast cancer.

It was the second upheaval on the set, after the sudden death of an NBC executive during shooting.

But “there’s no cloud” over “Parenthood,” Katims said. Tierney is doing well, and after she withdrew and Graham was cast, “It was like we could, all of us, move forward.”

Howard finds it “unbelievably gratifying” that the idea born on that airplane still proves relevant today.

“I’m incredibly proud of it already,” he said.

But he doesn’t expect to be hands-on with series.

“It’s Jason’s show, it’s this cast’s show, and I’m a big fan,” Howard said.

N N Ebert gets ‘voice’ grandkids recognize CHICAGO — Film critic Roger Ebert says computer programmers have captured his voice from movie c o m me nt a r y tracks so he can type what he wants to say and listeners hear a voice Roger Ebert that sounds like him.

Ebert lost his ability to speak after surgery for cancer. He writes in Sunday’s Chicago Sun-Times that a Scottish company has helped him regain a voice his grandchildren can recognize.

Ebert recorded commentaries for DVD movies before he lost his voice. A Scottish company called CereProc blended digital recordings of Ebert speaking to make his text-to-audio voice.

Ebert writes that the voice will be heard predicting Oscar winners on a segment of “The Oprah Winfrey Show� airing today.

He says he may be able to use the voice for radio and webcasts. — From wire reports Hospice Home Health Hospice House Transitions

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, March 2, 2010: This year, focus on what works both for you and for others.

You might notice that what was suggested in a meeting and/or among friends might not work.

Learn to look at problems directly and find the unusual solution.

Lady Luck is with you as you enter a new 11-year cycle. Count on yourself. You will be much happier as a result. Bone up on your listening and communication skills. If you are single, you will want a close relationship. You are also likely to meet several different suitors. Please have fun choosing “the one.” If you are attached, defer to your sweetie more often.

LIBRA helps you focus on basics.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You could be overly concerned about others. The problem lies in that key people might not be open or know what they want. Finding a resolution could be close to impossible. Don’t allow someone to exacerbate a problem. Tonight: Say “yes.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Weigh the pros and cons of changing courses. You cannot understand at this point why there is not another route.

Could you be blocking your own thinking? See where your bias comes in. Tonight: Relax, but squeeze in some exercise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Tap into your ingenuity.

Talk to people you see as creative, dynamic thinkers. A brainstorming session could help find solutions or lay the seeds of another course. Don’t sign off on an idea if you feel uncomfortable.

Tonight: Incorporate some fun.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might feel uncomfortable dealing with a personal matter.

No matter what you do, even at work, the issue keeps rising up.

You might wonder which is the best way to go. Be sensitive to your own needs. Tonight: Head home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Keep talks moving.

You might want to rethink a conversation with someone who could be touchy and difficult. Despite your seeming confidence, you could feel uncomfortable dealing with several people. Tonight: Hang out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Be aware of a need to be more possessive than normal.

You want to take a risk. Finding supporters or participants could be a lot harder than you anticipated.

Slow down. Maybe the obstacles are warning signs. Tonight: Your treat. Decide if you want to treat someone else, or if you want to go off and just treat yourself!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others find you to be unusually somber or difficult. No one can identify with the pressure you might be experiencing. You also could choose to lighten up and not worry so much.

Tonight: You make the call.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HH Take your time in a meeting, especially if someone is pushing for a response or an answer. Get into your work or a project. Do research; check out your options.

Know that you are best off closing the door and accomplishing a lot. Tonight: Vanish if you can.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Zero in on what you want.

You could be frustrated by a money matter. Try as you might, you could have difficulty getting the situation more to your liking. Perhaps letting go and worrying less would work.

Tonight: Where the action is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH More is weighing on your shoulders than you might be comfortable with. Could you be causing yourself a bigger problem because of a rigid attitude?

Think about another approach, especially if it works better.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be more frustrated than necessary. Are you creating your own obstacles?
