9-minute response time to fire questioned

By Andrew Moore The Bulletin

The four principals of Summit 1031 Exchange have agreed to pay a total of $16.8 million in damages as part of a settlement agreement to a lawsuit filed against them by Kevin Padrick, the company’s bankruptcy trustee, according to U.S. Bankruptcy Court documents filed Tuesday.

The settlement, which will benefit creditors in Summit’s bankruptcy, also could have ramifications for a separate lawsuit Padrick has filed against Umpqua Bank.

The suit accused Summit’s principals — Mark Neuman, Brian Stevens, Lane Lyons and Timothy Larkin — of breach of fiduciary duty, civil conspiracy and professional negligence, among other allegations, in their roles managing Summit.

Padrick filed the suit, an adversary proceeding, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in March 2009. Summit conducted 1031 exchanges, a real estate transaction that allows investors to avoid capital gains taxes on the sale of property.

Summit filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Portland in December 2008 when it could not repay clients’ exchange funds that the principals, through another company, had invested in real estate that could not be sold in time to repay clients because of the deteriorating real estate market.

The case was later converted to a Chapter 11 liquidation to sell the properties on behalf of creditors.

As smoke poured from a northwest Bend house Wednesday morning, neighbors watched from across the street and wondered why it took so long for the fire engines to show up.

The fire, which broke out at about 7:45 a.m. in a single-story house near the corner of Northwest Broadway Street and Florida Avenue, quickly swept through the house, spread to nearby trees and fences, and had begun to singe the paint on neighboring houses when firefighters arrived, about nine minutes after the first 911 call.

The six people in the house were able to escape before the blaze engulfed the house, and firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading next door. But fire officials said Wednesday afternoon that they should have been on the scene sooner — and that their response was an illustration of what happens when resources are stretched thin.

When the call came in, the crew on duty at the Bend Fire Department’s South Station, on Country Club Drive, was responding to a medical call.

When the great orchestras of Europe glide through the United States on tour, they stay at elegant hotels like Le Parker Meridien near Carnegie Hall, play in grand spaces like Symphony Hall in Boston and can receive more than $100 a day in meal money.

Then there is the Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra.

On their nine-week tour, these Muscovites are slogging to Ashland, Ky.; Quincy, Ill.; and Zanesville, Ohio, often riding buses for up to seven hours, moving from highway to budget hotel to concert hall, and then all over again the next morning. They have a day off every two weeks, on average.

The pay? About $40 a concert in most cases, the musicians said. Per diems? Zero. The bus drivers often stop at malls to let them shop for food

“Musicians are human beings too, and they should be treated like humans,” one disgusted musician wrote in an e-mail message. Like most of the orchestra members who were contacted, this one spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing being blacklisted

from future jobs.

The conditions are tough — akin to the grinding travel of low-level minor league baseball teams or striving rock bands or the barnstorming jazz orchestras of yore — and a little unexpected for a group of highly trained classical musicians.

Woolly mammoths resurface in Siberia and an industry grows

By Megan K. Stack Los Angeles Times

MOSCOW — The beasts had long lain extinct and forgotten, embedded deep in the frozen turf, bodies swaddled in Earth’s layers for thousands of years before Christ.

Now, the Russian permafrost is offering up the bones and tusks of the woolly mammoths that once lumbered over the tundra. They are shaped into picture frames, chess sets, pendants. They are gathered and piled, carved and whittled, bought and sold on the Internet.

And the once-obscure scientists who specialize in the wastelands of Siberia have opened lucrative sidelines as bone hunters.

Skype gives students window on the world

By Shanthi Venkataraman Columbia News Service

NEW YORK — When Silvia Tolisano, an elementary school teacher in Jacksonville, Fla., traveled on a global studies trip to Peru a few years ago, she took her students with her. Virtually.

She carried a laptop and connected with her class through Skype, the free software that allows individuals and businesses to make video and voice calls over the computer. Through her webcam, her students got a glimpse of the view from her hotel room window the mountains in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

The field trip was one of Tolisano’s early experiments with Skype in the classroom. Now a 21st-century learning specialist at the Martin J. Gottlieb Day School, she is actively promoting the software as a learning tool.

In January 2009, Tolisano embarked on an ambitious project called “Around the World With 80 Schools” through which she sought to connect her students with schools around the globe.

“It started off as a way of showing kids that there is a world out there,” says Tolisano. “There is a wow factor when you actually see someone from another country.”

Within weeks, 80 schools from New Zealand and Thailand to Israel and Canada signed up to Skype with her class. More than 300 schools have signed up to connect with the Jewish day school over the past year, as more and more teachers are beginning to discover the interactive learning experience that Skype’s free videoconferencing enables.

Teaching in the modern world The adoption of Skype in the classroom is emblematic of the shift toward 21st-century teaching methods that use technology to encourage interactive and collaborative learning. This differs from the traditional methods of teaching that involved one-sided instruction and a focus on the textbook.

An analysis of controlled studies by the U.S. Department of Education in June 2009 found that “blended” instruction that combined online and face-to-face instruction had a larger advantage than pure online or face-to-face communication.

Teachers using Skype’s videoconferencing argue that students are learning not just digital and communication skills, which are essential in the work force, but are also developing a better understanding of different cultures and practices, which is equally important in a globalized world.

Chrissy Hellyer, a fifth-grade teacher from New Zealand who now teaches at an international

What is Skype?

Skype is a free software application that allows users to make video and voice calls over the Internet. Calls to other Skype users are free, while calls to landline and mobile phones can be made for a nominal fee.

Skype has also become popular for its additional features, which include instant messaging, file transfer and videoconferencing.

school in Thailand, was among the first to connect with Tolisano’s class.

Hellyer’s class in New Zealand also connected with students in California to help explain the differences between the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

“We filmed how the toilet flushes differently here. It took all of 15 minutes and the kids felt empowered because they were teaching other students,” says Hellyer.

“Students need to realize that we are all responsible for each other’s learning.”

Tolisano believes that Skype conference calls can be used as a teaching tool across grades and subjects. “We had a teacher talking about killer whales in class.

In minutes, we were able to track down someone in Canada who was able to explain what killer whales were,” she says. “Another time, we were discussing the Albuquerque balloon festival and called a student’s aunt over Skype who attended the festival to ask her about it.”

Some parents are skeptical; they say their children spend too much time online as it is. But Tolisano insists that these video calls are not about learning technology alone, because during the calls, students are expected to do different jobs.

Some prepare to present or ask questions of their online guests, such as what the time difference is or what the weather is like. Other students film and photograph the conversation, while still others listen and write about the call.

“It is not about using the webcam alone,” says Tolisano. “It is about communication and presentation skills.”

Saving schools money Programs such as “Skype an Author” have also grown out of the Skype movement. Schools normally invite authors to visit students and discuss their books.

But it can be expensive, as the schools generally have to pay for the transportation costs and accommodation of the guest. Most schools can afford to arrange such visits only once or twice a year.

Sarah Chauncey, library media specialist at the Grand View

Elementary School in Rockland County, N.Y., and children’s book author Mona Kerby launched “Skype an Author” two years ago as a way of connecting students to authors at virtually no cost.

They created a template where authors could sign up to visit schools over Skype and answer questions about their books. The author videoconferences with the class over Skype for about 10 minutes, free of charge. For longer sessions, they could choose to charge a fee.

These virtual visits are no strain on a school’s budget and Chauncey believes that students benefit from the more frequent interactions.

“To see an author even for 10 minutes before beginning to read a book is a real incentive for the kids to kick off their reading,” she says.

Integrating technology into the classroom usually involves a significant investment, but all that is really required for a class to Skype is an Internet connection, a computer, a webcam, which can cost as little as $20, and an overhead projector.

Concerns about Skype Yet Skype is blocked in several schools because of fears that it hogs bandwidth and can breach security.

Most schools districts have Internet connections that can handle a Skype videoconference.

However, a system with a highspeed Internet connection that runs Skype all day could become a “supernode,” which means it could end up handling voice calls other than those originating from and to the local user. So tech departments tend to be wary of Skype’s bandwidth usage.

Another concern that is universal to all peer-to-peer applications is security breaches that could happen through file transfers.

Then there are fears that strangers could contact students over Skype and other such applications.

Wesley Fryer, a digital learning consultant and a former director of education advocacy for AT&T, says that these issues can be managed and that undue fear is preventing students from accessing the experience of collaborative learning.

Fryer points to school systems like Deer Creek in Edmond, Okla., that have learned to use Skype effectively by working around these issues. Toni Jones, in charge of instructional technology at the school, says her classes Skype with partner schools at arranged times and know that they are speaking to legitimate schools.

According to Jones, schools that block such sites are “just not in the 21st-century learning environment.”

Supportive leadership is ‘absolutely essential’ to teachers, survey finds Public school teachers are ambivalent about new academic standards, nationwide poll also reveals

541-633-2157

ADMINISTRATION

MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

A national survey of more than 40,000 public school teachers suggests that while higher salaries are far more likely than performance pay to help keep top talent in the classroom, supportive leadership trumps financial incentives.

The survey, funded by a philanthropy active in education reform, also shows that teachers have mixed feelings about proposals for new academic standards: Slightly more than half think that establishing common standards across all states would have a strong or very strong impact on student achievement, but two-thirds believe the rigor of standards in their own state is “about right.”

The survey was sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in collaboration with the publisher Scholastic Inc. Harris Interactive canvassed the teachers via telephone and online questionnaires from March 2009 to June 2009, as the Obama administration was developing strategies to promote higher standards and more sophisticated use of test data to improve achievement and reward effective teachers.

The Gates-funded survey, capturing a sample of the estimated 3.3 million public school teachers nationwide, shed some light on teacher opinion at a moment of ferment in public education. It also reflected, in part, the reform goals of the foundation itself.

“No doubt we wanted to put some of the big agenda items out there that are under discussion, some of which we care deeply about,” said Vicki Phillips, a foundation official who oversees grants in elementary and secondary education.

Among the foundation’s priorities, she said, are common standards, stronger data systems and compensation linked to performance.

Last year the foundation

What do teachers want?

Among the findings of a national survey of more than 40,000 teachers in public schools: • To retain good teachers, 68 percent called supportive leadership “absolutely essential,” 45 percent said the same of higher salaries and 8 percent listed performance pay. Many of those surveyed also described “relevant” professional development as essential, along with “clean and safe” working conditions, time for teachers to collaborate and access to high-quality curriculum.

In addition, 71 percent said monetary rewards for teacher performance would have moderate or no impact on student achievement.

• Fifty-nine percent said establishing common standards across states would have a strong or very strong impact on achievement, and 73 percent said clearer academic standards would produce such benefits. But 69 percent said the rigor of their own state’s standards was “about right,” and teachers were nearly evenly split on whether their own state has “too many standards” or “the right amount.”

• Just over half of those responding called state and district tests somewhat important for measuring academic achievement, and more than one-quarter called them very important or essential.

The survey’s margin of error was described as less than 1 percentage point. announced it is investing $290 million on experiments in tenure, evaluation, compensation, training and mentoring — all meant to promote effective teaching in Pittsburgh, Memphis, Los Angeles and Tampa.

Teachers’ unions have collaborated with local administrators and the foundation on the initiative.

Critics have said the foundation is driving a misguided, business-oriented agenda in public schools.

No Child law a highlight of hearing on education

By Sam Dillon New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is presiding over the rollout of the largest competitive grant program in his department’s history, a vast expansion of the government’s direct loan program for college students and sweeping new expenditures on failing schools, teacher quality and other big initiatives.

Everyone agrees it is a hugely ambitious agenda.

So it was not surprising that the first question Duncan faced from lawmakers on Wednesday in an appearance before Congress was whether the Obama administration would also try this year to rewrite, or reauthorize, the main law on federal policy on public schools, No Child Left Behind.

“Every Monday or Tuesday when we come back to Congress, my colleagues come up

and ask when we’re going to reauthorize, and between us, I don’t know if we have a complete answer yet,” said Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee. “Our position is we would really like to get this done this session of Congress.”

Is that your position? Miller then asked Duncan. The secretary replied: “That is absolutely the goal. There is so much we can do to fix the current law.”

But questions remain. Neither the administration nor anyone in Congress has made public any new draft bill, and the ranking Republican member on the committee, Rep. John Kline of Minnesota, congratulated Duncan for working with Republicans and listening to their ideas before writing one.

“Starting with a blank piece of paper is absolutely the right process,” he said.

The American Cancer Society has revised its guidelines for men considering routine screening for prostate cancer to reflect evidence of the risks of overtreatment.

President avoids using ‘reconciliation,’ but it’s clear he expects Dems to put tactic into play

By Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Robert Pear New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama, beginning his final push for a health care overhaul, called Wednesday for Congress to allow an “up or down vote” on the measure, and sketched out an ambitious — and, some Democrats said, unrealistic — timetable for his party to pass a bill on its own within weeks.

“I believe the United States Congress owes the American people a final vote on health care reform,” Obama said during a 20-minute speech in the East Room of the White House.

He said there was no point in starting over, as Republ ic a n s are demandHEALTH ing, and called CARE on nervous REFORM D e m o c r a t s to stick with him, declaring there is no reason “for those of us who were sent here to lead to just walk away.”

The speech, less than a week after Obama held a high-profile televised health care forum, will usher in what White House officials say will be their last campaign to bring Washington’s long and contentious health care debate to a close — with a billsigning ceremony at the end.

Today, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will meet at the White House with insurance industry executives to spotlight unpopular rate increases; next week, Obama will travel to Missouri and Pennsylvania to stump for the health care bill.

Obama refrained from using the word “reconciliation,” the parliamentary tactic that Democrats must employ to avoid a Republican filibuster and win final passage with a simple majority vote. But he made clear that was his intent, and used his platform to remind Americans that, despite Republican objections, other major bills had passed in much the same fashion.

On Capitol Hill, the strategy could prove a heavy lift for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, who are under pressure from the White House to translate Obama’s wishes for a final bill into legislative language.

Both leaders issued statements Wednesday praising Obama and vowing to press ahead. But, noticeably, neither publicly committed to Obama’s timetable.

Privately, Senate leadership aides said Obama’s deadline could be difficult to meet. The tentative plan is for the House to adopt a version of the bill passed by the Senate, and for both chambers to use reconciliation to pass a package of changes that would bridge gaps between the initial House and Senate versions.

Many aspects of the legislation remain unresolved, and rank-and-file Democrats in the House remain uneasy over both the substance of the bill and the process by which it would be adopted.

“I believe the United States Congress owes the American people a final vote on health care reform.”

lines are the first to detail what patients need to know to make informed decisions before having their blood tested for prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer was the second-most common malignancy among American men last year with 192,280 new cases, and the second-highest killer with 27,360 deaths, according to the cancer society. About half of men who are 50 or older undergo an annual blood test, even after some studies found routine tests don’t

increase survival.

“Treatment of early prostate cancer leads to some very clear risks, and all of this is tempered by the fact that we don’t know whether we’re doing anybody any good,” said Andrew Wolf, a doctor at the University of Virginia and lead author of the guidelines. “It was very clear that informed decision-making needed to be the centerpiece of the guidelines.”

Screening for prostate cancer is done by blood tests that mea-

sure levels of prostate specific antigen, a protein that can increase because of benign prostate conditions or cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute. The cancer society doesn’t advise routine screening for any age group and leaves the decision to the patient and his doctor.

If patients choose to be screened with PSA tests, those with low levels can be screened every other year instead of every year as suggested previously, under the new recommendations.

Residents hold a sign that reads, in Spanish, “We need help. There are children — Please,” as a military helicopter (not pictured) flies past in the costal town of Iloca, Chile, on Wednesday.

In Chile, aid begins to reach quake-devastated areas

By Patrick J. McDonnell Los Angeles Times

CONSTITUCION, Chile — Shipments of food, water, clothing and other basics finally began pouring in Wednesday to this earthquake-devastated town, where increasingly hungry and frustrated residents have harshly criticized what they term a tardy response by the national government.

Still, fear and anger continued to stalk the community, and other hard-hit coastal cities such as Concepcion where false reports of a tsunami alert, after a particularly strong aftershock, sent panicked residents rushing uphill toward the mountains.

Here, in this working-class town some 200 miles south of Santiago, the capital, many residents Wednesday donned surgi-

Military aid reaches military families first CONCEPCION, Chile — Four days after the deadly quake, Chile’s military rolled out a massive humanitarian aid effort Wednesday. After days of looting, troops occupied nearly every block of hard-hit Concepcion, enforcing a curfew that expired at noon with checkpoints throughout the city.

With the streets more secure, they focused on aid. And the trucks soldiers spent all night helping fill with bags of food made their first deliveries — to a neighborhood of military families who already had enough to eat.

— The Associated Press cal masks against the odor of decomposing bodies and other organic material inside collapsed buildings. Bulldozers and other machinery finally arrived to pick through the debris. A refrigerator truck was parked alongside a temporary morgue that began handling unclaimed corpses.

Of 800 deaths nationwide from Saturday’s magnitude 8.8 quake, some 500 occurred in this forestry center of 55,000. Many still are missing, and bodies continue to wash up in the surf.

Officials say 90 percent of the central area of town was

damaged or flattened by the earthquake and ensuing series of tsunami waves, which they said reached almost 100 feet in height nearly two miles inland, washing away thousands of residences. The Chilean military has acknowledged it erred in failing to alert local authorities and residents to the likelihood of a tsunami.

Defensive about having responded slowly, the Chilean government has stepped up efforts to deliver trucks of food and other essential supplies.

“Finally, we know there is

food available,” said Margarita Arabela, 38, a mother of two who, armed with pots and pans, arrived at the Chacarillas school here Wednesday to collect a donated lunch. “It took so long, we were really worried. But this is a great relief.”

The food came from both the government and from private donors. The Chacarillas school was gearing up to serve about 700 meals a day. Residents who lost everything could also choose from stacks of donated clothing and shoes.

However, Arabela and others continued to criticize what they called a slow and confusing response for a city where all of the shops were sacked and, until Tuesday, there was virtually no food to be purchased.

Several hungry residents said they only heard about the shelters through word of mouth, and were disappointed there was no broader distribution from central points through outlying neighborhoods.

L AWMAKERS UNDER FIRE OVER ETHICS

Rangel gives up key congressional post

By Carl Hulse and David M. Herszenhorn New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Rep. Charles Rangel stepped down on Wednesday as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee after losing support within his party due to ethics violations, shaking up the Democratic power structure in the House and costing New York a powerful seat of influence in Congress.

Rangel, for decades an institution both on Capitol Hill and in New York politics, said he was leaving the post to prevent Republicans from forcing his fellow Democrats to vote on ousting him from the position after he was admonished by the House ethics committee last week for accepting corporate-sponsored trips to the Caribbean.

BAGHDAD — Early voting began this morning in Iraq’s parliamentary election, which will elect a government that will guide the country as U.S. forces go home and help determine whether Iraq can overcome the deep sectarian problems that have divided it.

Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are expected to take part in early voting, a one-day session designed for those who might not be able to get to the polls Sunday, when the rest of the country votes. Early voters include detainees, hospital patients and military and security personnel who will be working election day.

Around the country, hundreds of thousands of police and military have been flooding the streets to prevent attacks by insurgents who have warned they would try to disrupt the vote. In the city of Baqouba, suicide bombers killed at least 32 people Wednesday in a series of three bomb attacks that officials there said were intended to dissuade people from voting.

He will remain a member of Congress and a member of the Ways and Means Committee.

But in giving up the chairman’s gavel little more than three years after attaining it, he is leaving one of the most prominent positions in Congress, a post with great influence over tax, health care and other legislation and with the ability to command the attention — and campaign donations — of American business leaders.

UNITED NATIONS — Humanitarian efforts by the United Nations in Haiti have lacked sufficient coordination with local organizations in delivering aid and establishing security, according to an independent assessment by Refugees International, a nonprofit that advocates on behalf of refugees.

One consequence was a surge in the sexual abuse of women and girls living in camps for the displaced, with some girls trading sex for shelter, said Emilie Parry, an aid consultant who helped write the evaluation of the U.N. effort. The report suggests a number of ways to improve the delivery of aid, including allowing more participation by Haitian organizations whose leaders are now living among as many as several million displaced earthquake victims.

Ukraine’s parliament ousts government KIEV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian parliament ousted the government of Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko in a no-confidence vote on Wednesday, dealing a final blow to the leadership of the pro-Western Orange Revolution. The vote followed weeks of shifting alliances after the pro-Western Tymoshenko lost her bid for the presidency to Kremlinfriendly Viktor Yanukovych.

Yanukovych secured a major victory as the no-confidence resolution passed with 243 votes in the 450-seat chamber. The parliament now has 30 days to form a new governing coalition. It is expected to coalesce around Yanukovych’s Party of Regions, and would then be able to put forward a new prime minister. If no new coalition is formed, he will be able to disband parliament and call early elections.

Mammoths

Summit

Continued from A1 They spend the summer months trawling the northern river banks and working networks of locals to gather stockpiles of bones. They speak of their work proudly, and a little mystically.

“You need to have luck to find bones,” said Fyodor Romanenko, a geologist at Moscow State University. “I don’t look for bones. I find them. They find me.

“Every find gives you a huge joy,” he said. “It’s a gift from nature, from the Arctic, from fate.”

The mammoth finds have been growing steadily over the last three decades as Russia’s vast sea of permafrost slowly thaws.

Russian scientists disagree over whether global warming is responsible. Some say yes, others are skeptical. But nobody argues that the permafrost is dwindling — and they’re glad to have the bones and tusks, especially when the increased yields coincide with bans on elephant ivory.

Continued from A1 The settlement dismissed seven of the nine claims without prejudice, meaning Padrick reserves the right to seek damages for the dismissed claims at some future time.

According to the settlement, Stevens and Neuman will each pay $7.5 million in damages, while Lyons and Larkin will each pay $900,000, to resolve a claim of breach of implied-inlaw contract.

The final claim included in the settlement was resolved per a court order in May 2009. The order required the principals to turn over assets to Padrick, but certain personal assets, such as the principals’ homes, were excluded.

Attempts to reach Stevens and Larkin were unsuccessful.

Neuman declined to comment.

Lyons referred to a statement issued in December by his attorney, Shawn Ryan of Portland: “My client would have preferred, and could have obtained, a judgment closer to zero, if the matter had progressed to trial. However, due to his limited resources to continue fighting, I’m satisfied to have the matter settled in a manner that rightfully allocates the vast majority of responsibility for Summit’s failure away from my client.”

As Summit’s bankruptcy trustee, Padrick has authority to file suit against other parties for the benefit of Summit’s creditors.

The settlement may affect Padrick’s suit against Umpqua, which was filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court last year.

In the suit, Padrick, acting as Summit’s trustee, alleges Umpqua aided and abetted Summit in operating what Padrick has characterized in bankruptcy documents as a Ponzi scheme.

Umpqua has strenuously denied the claim and further argues that the settlement proves Padrick’s suit is frivolous.

‘There’s a big demand’ Hand-to-mouth reindeer herders on Russia’s desolate tundra have coexisted with the traces of mammoths for generations. Romanenko claims that there are cases of long-frozen mammoth meat being thawed and cooked, or fed to the dogs.

Now entire villages are surviving on the trade in mammoth bones. And a new verb has entered the vernacular: mamontit, or “to mammoth” — meaning, to go out in search of bones.

“People used to just come across bones and throw them aside or take them to the garbage, because they were not interested in them,” said Gennady Tatarinov, who oversees a reindeer farm in Anyuisk, a frigid village 4,000 miles northeast of Moscow.

“But now there’s a big demand,” Tatarinov said. “And of course there’s a lot of competition, and people who make it their main trade.”

Many of the populated areas have been picked clean, driving scavengers deeper and deeper into the wilderness in the hunt for bones.

The smoothest bones go to collectors and museums around the world; the less perfect samples are shipped to carving factories, especially in China, where they are refashioned into high-end household items and keepsakes.

The price has dropped sharply in recent months. The global financial crisis coincided with

“You need to have luck to find bones.

I don’t look for bones. I find them.

— Fyodor Romanenko, geologist at Moscow State University

a massive sell-off of elephant ivory in Africa to gut the price of mammoth bones: The cost for a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of highquality bone plunged from $700 to $220.

Still, 50 tons of mammoth bone are turned up every year in Russia — and the number keeps growing.

“It’s the highest it’s ever been,” said Fyodor Shidlovsky, head of the National Alliance, a network of search groups, coastal exploration bases, restoration workrooms and carving shops.

Shidlovsky recently asked the government to recognize him as a small-business owner. “They refused,” he says, smirking.

“They said, ‘Your business is not small.’”

An adventurer with a knack for the Ice Age Shidlovsky has long been infected with a passion for Russia’s great white north. Every year since 1979, he has ventured to Siberia from June until deep into

the fall, gathering bones and wading through the paperwork needed to ship them to Moscow.

He spends the rest of the year in Moscow, presiding over a kitschy Ice Age museum and peddling his finds in hopes of financing the next year’s expedition.

He lounged behind his desk in the museum office on a recent morning. Outside his door, schoolchildren climbed onto a platform and gawked down into a hole at the “mammoth in a pit,” the re-creation of a woolly mammoth snared in a trap by ancient man.

The wild-haired creature’s head rears below them, tusks high, plastic eyes panicked. The creature’s trunk is wired to flail sorrowfully.

At the other end of a showroom of elaborately carved chess sets, Shidlovsky pointed to a massive, wall-mounted television screen and pressed “play” on a remote control.

Suddenly there were images of Shidlovsky trawling the summer-thawed rivers of Siberia in

a motorboat to pry bones from the exposed banks. Workers wrapped the relics in plastic bags, loaded them onto pickups and sent them off to the airport.

“Once or twice a year I buy material from the local population, and indulge in enlightening them on how to preserve and what to look for and what not,” Shidlovsky said. “I give some lectures at schools. And it brought results.”

Tradition of trade has a long history In truth, this trade is not entirely novel. Man has been hunting mammoths in Russia’s icy north as far as memory reaches.

The permafrost holds bones that bear workmanship from the Stone Age — which scientists in Siberia sometimes call the “bone age” in homage to the many weapons and tools hacked from mammoth bones.

Wealthy Chinese imported the bones in the 1st century, and when the first Russians arrived in the far reaches of Siberia in the 17th century, they traded bones along with furs.

“It used to be when we found bones we’d donate them to museums for displays and samples,” Romanenko said.

“Now we register them, get the carbon date and either give them as gifts or ... .” He paused.

“They make good souvenirs,” he said finally, shrugged, and smiled sheepishly. “Mammoths are considered a national treasure of Russia.”

Mullen readjusts use of force principles Joint Chiefs chairman outlines new policies

By Thom Shanker New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, laid out new principles Wednesday for how to use the military in meeting contemporary threats, saying that overwhelming force can be counterproductive if used recklessly.

In a careful recalibration of

well-known principles set forth years ago by a predecessor, Gen. Colin Powell, Mullen said the military “must not try to use force only in an overwhelming capacity, but in the proper capacity, and in a precise and principled manner.”

Speaking at Kansas State University, he pointed to new rules restricting the use of combat

force in Afghanistan, where civilian deaths caused by American troops and American bombs have outraged the local population and made the case for the insurgency.

That kind of restraint, at the insistence of the field commander there, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has been criticized in some quarters as reneging on the so-called Powell Doctrine, which favored overwhelming force to achieve unambiguous victories.

Even when the forces brought

into combat are clearly superior, as in the huge assault on the Taliban stronghold of Marjah in southern Afghanistan that began Feb. 13, there can be a difference from assaults of the past, Mullen suggested.

Mullen steered clear of declaring an official new “Mullen Doctrine.” Even so, the organization and content of the speech meant that it would be read as an update to the principles of modern American warfare.

counsel for Umpqua, said Wednesday, “If you are going to dismiss the claims against the people who you say are the principal wrongdoers, if you are going to dismiss their claims for bad acts, why are you pursuing claims against Umpqua for aiding and abetting those bad acts.”

“Umpqua Bank misstates the settlement and its effect,” said Padrick in a statement e-mailed to The Bulletin. “As part of the settlement, the shareholders agreed to a court judgment against them on two of the nine claims in the case. In the court judgment, the shareholders turned over substantially all their assets and agreed to judgments against them that aggregate $16 million.

“The settlement and the judgment also preserve my right to pursue any or all of the remaining seven claims against the creditors at any time in the next three years.

Umpqua Bank’s statement has no basis in fact or law.”

Bert Manual, a California man who was an exchange client of Summit’s and a creditor in the case, said the settlement was “good news.”

“My question is, where … are they going to get it?” Manual said.

Per the settlement, Padrick agrees not to enforce the judgment for damages before March 2, 2013. The settlement also requires Padrick to release liens on the principals’ personal assets that were excluded from the order to turn over assets.

The agreement also stipulates that the principals’ settlement does not constitute any admission of criminal wrongdoing.

Summit’s principals have not been charged with any crime, though state and federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service, were investigating Summit’s activities, according to earlier court documents.

2 suspended after boy radios pilots at JFK

By David B. Caruso The Associated Press

NEW YORK — As planes waited to take off from Kennedy Airport, the jargon-packed radio chatter between controllers and pilots was interrupted by a young boy’s voice: “JetBlue 171, cleared for takeoff.”

An air traffic controller who brought his son to work let the youngster read a few routine messages to pilots — and then brought in another child the next day — in an incident that amused pilots but not the Federal Aviation Administration.

Authorities suspended the controller and a supervisor Wednesday after a recording of the radio calls was posted on the Internet, then reported by a Boston television station.

“This lapse in judgment not only violated FAA’s own poli-

cies, but common-sense standards for professional conduct.

These kinds of distractions are totally unacceptable,” FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt said in a statement. “This kind of behavior does not reflect the true caliber of our work force.”

During his visit, the boy got to squeak out a few more instructions to pilots before signing off, including telling the crew aboard a departing Aero Mexico flight, “Adios, amigos.”

On the recording, which lasts about a minute, the elementary-school-age boy appears to repeat instructions fed to him by his father. At no time does the child tell aircraft how to maneuver in flight.

At the time, pilots appeared delighted.

“I wish I could bring my kid to work,” one said.

Moore Information, conducted the survey from Feb. 9 through 10, when pollsters interviewed 400 residents. The city paid $13,000 for the poll.

A majority of people polled — 62 percent — said they would support a “tax neutral” plan under consideration by the city.

That involves city officials terminating a 27-cent tax that now is collected to pay for downtown infrastructure projects. The city would then ask voters to replace it with an equivalent tax for public safety services.

City Councilor Jeff Eager said at a Wednesday night meeting

that fewer residents might have supported extending the 27-cent tax if pollsters had told them the tax might go away anyway, and property owners would receive a tax cut.

“I think that the poll probably overstates support for the tax neutral option,” Eager said.

In other questions on the poll, 55 percent said the city of Bend is headed in the right direction, and 29 percent said it is not headed in the right direction.

A large majority of people — 88 percent — said they were satisfied with the city’s fire and emergency medical services. A

Mistreated musicians?

A few days before the Lehman concert, a Russian mechanical engineer living in Manhattan, Sergei Levitan, contacted The New York Times to denounce what he said was mistreatment of the players. He said he knew several through mutual friends.

“It’s demeaning,” he said of the conditions. “I got upset.”

After the Lehman concert, a player said he grew dizzy and tumbled over a railing into a stairwell, cracking his skull. The player was interviewed by telephone at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, where he was admitted with a head injury.

The conditions are “very bad,” said another member. “I wouldn’t do this trip again. They should pay us at least twice as much,” the player said. Others lamented that they had come to see the United States but had little opportunity. Several said that a kindly bus driver had taken them into New York on a day off while they were staying in New Jersey.

Rehearsals are relentless even though they are not paid for, some musicians said, but pride in their craft pushed them to attend anyway.

Others welcomed the chance to gain concert experience, and said that the money was not bad

by Russian standards. Prikhodko, 31, the double bass player, called the tour a “difficult experience, but a very useful one.” Besides, he added, “I like traveling.”

The e-mailing orchestra member, in a separate interview at Lehman, acknowledged that the performance level was not the highest. “There’s a direct relationship between how we play and how much we get paid,” he said. As for the rigors of the tour, he shrugged them off.

“I am strong man, and I am Russian,” he said. “So I can do this.”

The orchestra began its latest American tour on Jan. 13, when it arrived in Atlanta, and is due in St. Louis on Wednesday. After an original itinerary of 53 concerts in 67 days, it leaves from

Los Angeles on March 22. The trip began in the deep South, worked its way north, swung through southern New England, is now in the Midwest and heads out to Arizona, Nevada and California.

On Feb. 17 the tour brought the group to Worcester, Mass. This season’s schedule of the presenter there, Music Worcester, also includes the Odessa Philharmonic, the Orquestra de Sao Paulo, the Shanghai Symphony and I Musici de Montreal.

“It was an all-Tchaikovsky program, which is a win-win to begin with,” Stasia Hovenesian, the executive director of Worcester Music, said of the Moscow group’s appearance. “No one, but no one, plays Tchaikovsky as well as the Russians do.”

And Russians they are, including conductor and soloists (except for several last-minute American substitutes). Whether they were actually members of the Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra is another question.

A half-dozen players interviewed said they were students or freelancers hired for the tour.

One musician who did allow his name to be used, Vladimir Prikhodko, a double bassist, estimated that only about 20 to 30 players in the 90-piece group were full-time members.

Nemudrov, the artistic director, said that only about a halfdozen were not regulars.

On Feb. 21 the orchestra played a concert at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in the Bronx. Eva Bornstein, the center’s executive director, intro-

The poll asked residents whether they would support four options city officials are considering to generate tax revenue to pay for public safety services.

The annexation of the city Fire Department into a rural fire protection district would raise property taxes by 41 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, or about $82 per year for a home assessed at $200,000.

The Bend Fire Department already serves the rural fire protection district, and the district simply raises money to pay the department. Annexation would mean the same personnel could continue to provide services, but they would operate as a district instead of a city department.

Another option that did not garner much support in the survey would be for the city to ask voters for a five-year levy that would also raise property taxes by 41 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. In December, councilors rejected the idea of a five-year levy.

Another idea that failed to get much support in the poll was a bond measure to pay for water, sewer and street infrastructure that would free up more city money for police and fire operations.

founded in 1978 to give broadcast performances. It toured the United States once before, in 2004, and has made recent trips to China and Italy. It has made several dozen recordings, including a number for the Naxos label.

Anatoli Nemudrov, the orchestra’s artistic director, declined to discuss financial arrangements, saying they were confidential.

But, he noted, touring “is hard work for all musicians, Russians and Americans.” He said the tour had been going well, adding, “We have good concerts.”

The producer of the tour, Andrew Grossman of Columbia Artists Management, did not respond to phone messages left at his office, on his cell phone and with his assistant, and did not respond to an e-mail query.

The Columbia Artists chairman, Ronald Wilford, said he was not familiar with the details of the contract. But he said that typically Columbia Artists, as a producer, receives fees from the presenters, who keep the box office receipts. Columbia Artists arranges travel inside the country and lodging, and guarantees the orchestra a set fee.

“We have no idea what they’re paying their orchestra,” Wilford said of Moscow State Radio Symphony’s management.

The State Theater played host to the Muscovites on Feb. 14, a day after they performed at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., where the musicians plowed through a preconcert buffet.

but it has left four positions unfilled and hasn’t hired more firefighters to keep up with growth in Bend.

He said the kind of situation that happened on Wednesday is becoming more common.

“Unfortunately, the potential is there virtually every day,” Huhn said.

A total of 18 firefighters were called to the fire, including some who were off duty.

Bend fire officials called in the Redmond Fire Department to man the North Station.

Investigators were still on the scene late Wednesday afternoon and had not yet determined the cause of the fire.

The house, valued at about $100,000, was considered a total loss, along with about $40,000 worth of contents inside.

When the fire broke out, neighbors said the scene was chaotic, as the two adults in the house searched for their young children in the street, which was quickly filling with thick black smoke.

Some onlookers ducked back inside to gather blankets and warm drinks for the family who had lost their home.

Watching from across the street, neighbors Deana Bates and Elizabeth King said they couldn’t understand why it took firefighters so long to arrive.

“This could have easily been prevented,” Bates said.

Madden said he agrees that crews should have been on the scene more quickly. But on Wednesday, he said firefighters wouldn’t have been able to save more of the house if they’d arrived a couple minutes earlier.

“The house was heavily involved in the fire right off the bat,” he said.

SEEDS

Continued from A1 Yet they are not uncommon.

Performing arts centers and concert halls in smaller cities and towns around the country are hungry for classical music programming. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra or Berlin Symphony is well beyond their means. So lesser known, and lower priced, foreign orchestras provide a solution.

Presenters on the Moscow orchestra’s tour said it cost from $50,000 to $75,000 to engage it, compared to $100,000 and up for a well-known orchestra, or twice that for one of the elite, like the Berlin or Vienna Philharmonic.

Foreign orchestras, no matter the level, provide a lure of the exotic.

“There’s a cachet there,” said Wesley Brustad, the president and chief executive of the State Theater in New Brunswick, N.J. “American orchestras are tough to sell,” he said. They are also more expensive because of union rules.

As a bonus, presenters of foreign groups benefit from a built-in audience: ethnic groups that live in the area. Russians are especially enthusiastic concertgoers.

Bend officials are moving away from a proposal to shift fire services to a rural fire district and ask voters to raise taxes, after poll results showed many residents oppose a tax increase.

Officials are searching for a way to prevent cuts to public safety and fill a $21 million shortfall they expect in the city’s general fund in the next six years.

The city uses about 80 percent of its general fund money to pay for public safety, and officials say they will have to cut police and fire services unless the city raises property taxes by 41 cents per $1,000 in assessed property value.

The city’s permanent tax rate is $2.80 per $1,000 of assessed property value, which the city says is lower than some other similarly sized Oregon cities.

But 51 percent of residents polled did not want to pay more taxes to prevent cuts in public safety services, according to a poll released by the city Wednesday morning. The poll also found that city residents are satisfied with their police and fire services.

At a meeting Wednesday night, City Manager Eric King said the poll shows there is not enough support from residents to raise taxes by 41 cents per $1,000 in assessed property value, although voters might support extending an existing tax.

This means the idea of annexing the city Fire Department into the rural fire district will not work, King said, because city property owners would need to pay the 41-cent tax to be included in the district.

Mayor Kathie Eckman said she wants to keep the idea of annexation on the table for now.

King suggested the city should form a citizen committee to research options to raise money, but city councilors said they want to continue discussing this idea at their next meeting.

similar amount were satisfied with the city’s police services.

Residents’ satisfaction with public safety services is a mixture of good news and bad news for city officials, said Kelly Middendorff, vice president of project management for Moore Information. “When you’re looking for funding for your agency, it makes it more difficult because basically, folks don’t see anything wrong. (People think), ‘They don’t need any money, they’re doing fine the way things are.’”

Middendorff noted that people who strongly opposed tax increases outnumbered people who strongly supported tax increases by a factor of about 2 to 1.

“Especially in Oregon, there’s a significant amount of anti-tax sentiment, and we’ll see this throughout this presentation,” Middendorff said.

Continued from A1 The crew from the station on Southwest Simpson Avenue — the facility closest to Broadway — had just responded to a call about an illegal open burn near Romaine Village Way on the city’s south side.

Bend police were on the scene in a few minutes, but the closest available engine crew was at the city’s North Station, located about four miles north of Broadway, on Jamison Street.

Bend Fire Battalion Chief Bob Madden said he arrived on the scene about six minutes after the call came in and worked with police to make sure the residents and neighbors were safely out of the area. Three minutes later, the fire engine from the North Station arrived and two other engines followed and began pouring water on the fire.

Fire Chief Larry Huhn said his department’s average response time is 6 minutes and 20 seconds, though responses can vary by several minutes based on the location of the incident and the availability of responders.

The city has five fire stations that house a variety of equipment, from engines to ambulances, but stations are not staffed with enough firefighters to fill all of the vehicles.

When the firefighters from the Country Club and Simpson stations were out on the other calls, no one else was available to go to the Broadway fire.

Huhn said officials want to add another fire station in the future, but in the meantime, being short-staffed is the big problem.

The department hasn’t had to lay off any firefighters in recent rounds of city budget cuts,

Fed survey finds plodding recovery A report by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday portrayed an economy that was making hesitant progress but still wrestling with familiar woes: high unemployment, tepid spending by businesses and consumers, and deterioration in the commercial real estate market.

In its anecdotal survey of economic conditions across the country, the central bank said most regions “continued to expand” at a “modest” pace in late January and most of February. But a series of winter storms along the East Coast constrained activity in several areas, the Fed said.

In total, nine of the central bank’s 12 districts reported improvement, mostly in areas like consumer spending and residential real estate. That provided some reassurance that the recovery was on track, despite a recent batch of weak economic data. The halting pace of renewal suggested that the Fed would probably keep interest rates near zero when it meets on March 16 to set monetary policy.

James O’Sullivan, chief economist for MF Global, said the report indicated that the economy was not on the verge of falling into another downturn, as some have suggested in recent weeks.

Charles Clark travels through rural Southern Oregon and Northern California, talking to small-business owners, farmers and ranchers and showing them how they might make use of renewable energy.

Last month the renewable energy specialist stopped near Alfalfa to conduct an energy assessment at Windflower Farm, where Gigi Meyer grows vegetables, herbs and fruit for community members and chefs without using chemical herbicides or pesticides. Meyer could

not be reached for comment.

Clark combines on-site assessments and reviews of applicants’ energy bills to come up with some options and costs for renewable energy projects.

The program seeks to help small businesses and ag operations by identifying smallscale projects, those that cost $50,000 or less, and making them feasible. “(The programs) are concerned with helping people figure out green technologies and energy savings and in the process take a step toward rural self-sufficiency,” Clark, who

works for the Oregon Renewable Energy Center, said in a news release.

For those who qualify, the U.S. Agriculture Department has grants and loans to help pay some of the cost.

Financial bubbles are a way of life now. They can upend your industry, send your portfolio into spasms and leave you with whiplash. And then, once you’ve recovered, the next one will hit.

Or so you might think, as a veteran of two gut-wrenching market declines and a housing bubble over the last decade.

There’s plenty of reason to expect more surprises, given the number of hedge funds moving large amounts of money quickly around the world and the big banks making their own trades.

Individuals, as always, may be PERSONAL tempted to make their own finanFINANCE cial bets, too. Last time, they bought overpriced homes with too much borrowed money. Next time, who knows what the bubble will be? And that’s the problem, as it always is. How do you identify the next thing that will pop? Is it China? Or Greece? Or Treasury bonds? It is difficult to predict and make the right defensive (or offensive) moves at the correct moment to save or make money.

Still, if you want to better insulate yourself from bubbles — however often they may inflate — there are plenty of things you can do. Your debt levels matter, and you may want to consider a more flexible investment strategy. But perhaps most important, this is a mental exercise that begins and ends with an honest assessment of your long-term goals and how you handle the emotional jolts that come from the bubbles that burst along the way.

Facebook, the world’s biggest social network, is selling more ad spots to big companies like Wal-Mart Stores, Procter & Gamble and PepsiCo. But the site’s pages are also home to countless ads from smaller companies that can be funny, weird or just plain creepy — those suggesting you are, say, eligible to get a free iPad because you are exactly 26 years old, or entreaties to see what your offspring would look like if you had a child with a celebrity.

Free, federally funded energy audits aim to identify and help fund small-scale projects The Bulletin

S4 Energy Solutions LLC, a joint venture between Bend’s InEnTec LLC and Houstonbased garbage giant Waste Management Inc., announced Wednesday the construction of a plasma gasification facility at a Waste Management landfill in Arlington, Ore. Construction is slated to begin early this summer and provide up to 28 temporary jobs, with another 16 permanent jobs to be created when the project becomes operational, according to the company.

The project is based on InEnTec’s plasma technology, which uses super-heated gas to destroy a variety of waste streams, giving off synthetic gas as a byproduct that is collected and either sold as is or further refined into other industrial gases.

S4 is based in Houston.

The so-called self-service ads on the site, from the likes of video game startups, sweepstakes companies and wedding photographers, are shown on the right side of most pages. Many advertisers who use the self-service system are tempted to go as far as possible in making ads that attract attention and appear relevant, aided by the information that people give to Facebook.

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration put forward legislation on Wednesday to rein in the size and scope of the nation’s largest banks. But the proposal faces strong resistance in Congress, where lawmakers have shown little appetite for adding to the prolonged debate on overhauling financial regulations.

The legislation would ban banks that take federally insured deposits from investing in hedge funds or private equity funds and from making trades that are for the benefit of the banks, not their customers, a practice known as proprietary trading.

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley would probably be the Wall Street firms most affected by the ban, known informally as the Volcker Rule, but they might be able to shed their status as bank holding companies, to avoid some of the restrictions.

Traders try to determine who will be next Greece

By Nelson D. Schwartz and Graham Bowley New York Times News Service

Is Spain the next Greece? Or Italy? Or Portugal?

Even as Greece pledged anew on Wednesday to rein in its runaway budget deficit, briefly easing the anxiety over its perilous finances, traders on both sides of the Atlantic weighed the risks — and potential rewards — posed by the groaning debts of other European governments.

While investors welcomed news that Athens would raise taxes and cut spending by $6.5 billion this year, analysts warned the moves might not be enough to avert a bailout for Greece or to contain the crisis shaking Europe and its common currency, the euro.

Indeed, some banks and hedge funds have already begun to turn their attention to other indebted nations, particularly Portugal, Spain, Italy and, to a lesser degree, Ireland.

The role of such traders has become increasingly controversial in Europe and the United States. The Justice Department’s antitrust division is now examining whether at least four hedge funds colluded on a bet against the euro last month.

Energy assessments

Continued from B1 Small businesses, farms, ranches and other agricultural operations in rural areas of Deschutes County, along with those in Klamath and Lake counties and Modoc and Siskiyou counties in California, are eligible for the free assessments.

Dan Rose, vice president for business development at Facebook, compared the company’s self-service ad platform to the early versions of Google’s highly profitable AdWords system. He predicted that the quality of the promotional messages on the site would improve as more companies began to use it.

“A year ago, we had lowerquality ads, and a year from now we will have higher-quality ads,” Rose said. “It’s early, but we have made a lot of progress.”

The self-service ad system offers any person or company the opportunity to quickly design an ad and aim it toward finely segmented groups of Facebook’s 400 million members, based on gender, age, location and preferences like favorite movies and activities.

From the perspective of many users, the tailored ads can often seem, at best, presumptuous.

Women who change their status to “engaged” on Facebook to share the news with their friends, for example, report seeing a flood of advertisements for services and products like wedding photographers, skin treatments and weight-loss regimens.

Continued from B1 “When it works, it’s amazingly impactful, but when it doesn’t work, it’s not only creepy but off-putting,” said Tim Hanlon, a principal at the consulting firm Riverview Lane Associates of Chicago. “What a marketer might think is endearing, by knowing a little bit about you, actually crosses the line pretty easily.”

One campaign that flooded the site in recent weeks, before Facebook cracked down on it, tries to take advantage of consumer interest in Apple’s iPad. “Are you a fan of Eddie Izzard? We need 100 music and movie lovers to test and KEEP the new Apple iPad,” one version of the ad says.

Louis Allred Jr., 29, a Facebook user in Los Angeles who saw the ad, said he figured it was shown to him because he or a friend had expressed enthusiasm for Izzard, a British comedian, on their profiles. “It doesn’t seem like they are using the information in sensible ways,” Allred said.

Allred was also skeptical about the test-an-iPad offer. The ad sends people to Prize-Rewards .net, a site that appears to be based in Vancouver, Bristish Columbia, and tries to get people

Fixed expenses Start with the basics. The less you have to pay toward monthly obligations, the better off you are, and that’s especially true at a time of economic disruption. You certainly wouldn’t want any bills increasing, so now’s a good time to refinance to a fixedrate mortgage.

Whittle down student loan and credit card debt, too, and pay cash for your car if possible. “Flexibility is priceless in a time of panic,” said Lucas Hail, a financial planner with Foster & Motley in Cincinnati.

Then there are the nonsensical ads, which highlight the fact that Facebook does not have employees to review each ad, but relies largely on member feedback to flag inappropriate messages.

That allows ads to slip through that run afoul of the company’s policies. “Laws now allow U.S. residents to reduce their credit card debt by more than 50 percent,” reads one ad for a debt-relief Web site, which is accompanied by a surreal image of four tiny babies lying in the palm of a hand.

“It caught my eye, but it sure didn’t win my trust,” said Paige Kobert, 32, an advertising employee from San Francisco who saw the ad recently. “It just seemed like a scam.”

A Facebook spokesman, Brandon McCormick, said ads like that one and the Eddie Izzard iPad ad violated a Facebook policy that requires the text and photo in the ad to be related to what is being advertised.

Rose from Facebook said the ads on the site were becoming more professional and straightforward as the company updated its policies and enforced them.

“When you have got the platform that we have, you are naturally going to attract people who are going to game it,” Rose said.

Self-reliance Then take a hard look at how much you should rely on promises from the government. Social Security and Medicare may not fit the traditional definition of bubbles, but that hasn’t stopped Rick Brooks from advising his financial planning clients to expect less from both programs.

“Something that is not sustainable will not continue. It just can’t,” he said of Medicare.

Brooks, the vice president for investment management with Blankinship & Foster in Solana Beach, Calif., said anyone under 50 should assume that Medicare will look nothing like it does now and examine private health insurance premiums for guidance as to what may need to be spent on health care in retirement.

Meanwhile, the firm advises current retirees to assume a 20 percent cut in Social Security benefits at some point.

Portfolio tactics Perhaps you did what you thought you were supposed to during the last decade. You got religion and stopped trading stocks. Then, you split your assets among various low-cost mutual funds and added money regularly. And the results weren’t quite what you hoped.

Tempted to make big bets on emerging markets or short Treasury bills? You’ve

landed in the middle of the debate between those who favor a more passive asset allocation and those who prefer something called tactical allocation.

The first camp sets up a practical mix of investments, according to a target level of risk, and then readjusts back to that mix every year or so.

They frown on the hubris of the tactical practitioners. To make a tactical approach work, they note, you need to know what the right signals will be to buy and sell everything from stocks to gold, during every future market cycle. Then, these tacticians need to have the discipline to act each and every time. This is extraordinarily hard.

The tacticians, however, believe they have no choice. “What consumers need to know is that no matter how comforting it is to believe a formulaic approach or prepackaged investment product will allow them to put their financial future on autopilot, our current and future financial environment will require advice, diligence, education and responsiveness, which takes into account strategic consideration of geopolitical and economic relationships,” as Ryan Darwish, a financial planner in Eugene, put it to me this week.

Darwish scoffed at the notion of mere bubbles and said he thought that more fundamental and far-reaching shifts were under way, like the transfer of economic power from the United States to China and other nations.

A growing number of financial planners are embracing a middle, more measured approach: If diversification across stocks, bonds and other asset classes has proved to be a good thing in most investing environments, why not diversification around investment approaches?

“I am not a financial genius, but the geniuses are even worse off because they’re anchored on one philosophy,” said David O’Brien, a financial planner in Midlothian, Va. So he and a growing number of his peers have added some strategies to their baseline portfolios aimed at

losing less during bubbles while still gaining in better times.

“We’re not trying to shoot for the moon,” he added.

These tactics can include managed futures, absolute return funds, merger arbitrage and other approaches that will get their own column someday.

The embrace of all this even led one investment professional I spoke with this week to express the ultimate sacrilege: It really is different this time.

Matter of the mind But can you live with less volatility — and the permanent end of occasional portfolio-wide returns in the teens or higher?

Markets run on greed and fear; bubbles expand and deflate thanks to outsize versions of each. One of the few things you can predict about bubbles is that they will test your conviction on where you sit along the feargreed continuum.

And once they pop, you’ll know a bit more about how your mind works than you did before.

So rather than trying to predict the number and type of bubbles, it may make more sense to look inward when trying to predict the future. Bob Goldman, a financial planner in Sausalito, Calif., said that clients often looked at him blankly when he asked them what it was they imagined for themselves in the future.

Sometimes, they need to go home and figure out what sort of life it is that they’re saving for — and how much (or little) it might cost.

“People come in and talk about how we all know that inflation is going to explode next year,” Goldman said. “Well, we don’t all know that. We don’t know anything. But we can know something about our own lives, and there is a person we can talk to about that. A person in the mirror.”

When President Barack Obama presented the Volcker Rule, named for its champion, Paul Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman, on Jan. 21, he argued that banks that benefit from the government safety net should not take undue risks.

The Volcker Rule counts among its supporters five former Treasury secretaries, elder statesmen like William Donaldson and John Reed and prominent investors like George Soros. But when Volcker and the deputy Treasury secretary, Neal Wolin, presented the plan to the Senate last month, they were met with a frosty reception.

Senators said the rule would not have prevented the financial crisis or saved companies like Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and American International Group. They said the idea, as outlined by Obama, was vague and difficult to enforce.

Staff not Bend park district proposes new rules at fault in jail suicide, report says scheduled for April 6 and May 4.

Executive Director Don Horton said the park district last updated its policies in 2006, and that many of the proposed changes — such as a ban on littering — are simply intended to bring park policy in line with existing city code. Others are new and come in response to changing circumstances — including a ban on the use of cell

A ban on the use of tobacco and on feeding wildlife are among the changes proposed in an overhaul of rules and regulations for patrons of the Bend Park & Recreation District introduced Tuesday.

The park district board will debate the proposed changes and accept public testimony at two upcoming public hearings

phones in restrooms and changing rooms brought on by the popularity of cell phone cameras, and standards of conduct in off-leash dog parks, which did not exist in Bend four years ago.

Horton said the proposed ban on tobacco use was recommended to the park district by the Tobacco Free Alliance, a program of the Deschutes County Health Department, and Bend 2030, a nonprofit that has developed a

list of goals for the city to pursue over the next 20 years.

The proposal would prohibit not only smoking, but also the use of smokeless tobacco products. Horton acknowledged that smokeless tobacco is less intrusive on other people than smoking but said its use was a potential problem at large gatherings.

Paul Stell, the district’s natural resources manager, said a

ban on feeding wildlife is overdue, particularly in light of the district’s efforts to drive down the population of Canada geese in the city’s parks.

Stell, who has been overseeing the district’s efforts to harass the geese over the last six weeks, said people he’s seen feeding geese have been receptive to his requests that they stop.

The Bulletin

An investigation into last month’s suicide of an inmate at the Deschutes County jail has found that jail staff members did not violate any state standards and that officials had not considered the inmate a suicide risk.

The report on the death of Donovan Joel Haskin, 40, was released Wednesday by Deschutes County District Attorney Mike Dugan and Sheriff Larry Blanton. It provides details of Haskin’s short stay in jail and the day corrections deputies found Haskin in his cell, kneeling with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck.

Haskin was arrested Jan. 29 on suspicion of first- and second-degree theft, second-degree robbery, first-degree theft by receiving, menacing, coercion, unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and possession of methamphetamine in connection with a robbery at Sterling Savings Bank in Redmond. He died Feb. 7 in the intensive care unit at St. Charles Bend, four days after he attempted suicide in jail.

State medical examiners determined that Haskin’s cause of death was asphyxia by hanging.

The Bend Police Department led the investigation into Haskin’s death, with detectives interviewing more than a dozen people to piece together what happened in the days and hours before Haskin was found in his cell.

City officials have received feedback from Bend residents about where curb ramp improvements — which the city must do to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act — are most urgently needed.

Barbeau, owner of Pisano’s Pizza in NorthWest Crossing, was competing at the International Pizza Challenge in Las Vegas when contacted Wednesday and said he was too busy to comment on his candidacy.

Baney was Ed Barbeau elected to a four-year term on the commission in 2006, defeating Democrat Mara Stein in a race for an open seat created by Bev Clarno’s decision not to run for re-election.

ment of Justice to modify a settlement requiring the city to upgrade its curb ramps and sidewalks, city staffers still don’t have

a handle on exactly how much work needs to be done.

Bend is just past the mid-point of a 10year window to bring its public facilities into compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. City staffers say the work on public buildings and facilities is “99 percent” complete.

But a portion of the 2004 legal settlement agreement — made with the federal government after four residents sued the city — includes upgrades to curb ramps and sidewalks.

Past estimates have put the number of curb ramps that need improvement at between 1,000 and 8,000, based on partial surveys city officials now say are not reliable. So workers are literally walking the streets in “priority zones,” taking measurements and counting how many curb ramps need upgrading.

Meanwhile, staffers say construction work needs to move forward because $3.2 million set aside for the project must be accounted for by the end of the biennium in June 2011.

Disability advocates say the city should have had an accurate count of the number of ramps and sidewalks that needed work years ago and that trying to modify a legal agreement without knowing the scope of a

Commission limits Skyliners Road events The Deschutes County Commission voted Wednesday morning to adopt an ordinance to limit sporting events on narrow, deteriorating Skyliners Road and charge a special $100 fee for those events, Commissioner Tammy Baney said.

The resolution limits events on Skyliners Road to ones that took place in 2009, and new events would need approval from the County Commission. It also limits events to two days.

The only event affected by the two-day limit is the FreshAirSports time trial and duathlon series, which took place on six evenings from June through Au-

gust last year.

The new $100 Skyliners Road event fee will be charged on top of the normal $35 county event fee. Baney said the county will also require event organizers to submit a written list of three other locations they considered and why they are not practical.

At the same meeting Wednesday, the County Commission decided to continue discussion of an ordinance that would require bicyclists to ride single file on Skyliners Road to a 10 a.m. meeting on April 14, Baney said.

The commission also approved a $135,420 a year lease with the company Telecare Mental Health Services, Baney said.

O Psychologists may get OK to prescribe medications

By Andy Dworkin The Oregonian

PORTLAND — Oregon could become the third state where psychologists can prescribe drugs, if the governor signs a controversial bill the state Legislature passed last week.

The bill would let licensed Ph.D. psychologists who get extra training and pass a test to prescribe from a set list of drugs to treat psychological conditions. Only Louisiana and New Mexico have similar laws.

Proponents hope that letting some psychologists prescribe drugs will increase the number of people who can get integrated mental health care, including drugs and therapy, especially in rural areas of Oregon.

“We need to expand access,” said Sen. Laurie Monnes Anderson, D-Gresham, the bill’s main Senate proponent. “And there are many different ways, I feel, to deliver health care. This is just one more tool.”

A similar law has been proposed every legislative session since 2007, but none passed amid worry psychologists wouldn’t have enough education or oversight. So last year, a work group of three psychologists, three physicians and an expert on drugs and the brain drafted the new bill with a mediator’s help. Even that work group was controversial, with opponents of the law upset that one member runs a California-based distance-learning program for psychologists.

The group drafted a law that gives doctors checks over the psychologists: Psychologists who prescribe must work with a patient’s primary doctor to ensure a drug’s safety. And the Oregon Medical Board, which regulates physicians, would oversee the prescribing program instead of the state Board of Psychologist Examiners.

Even so, some doctors and even some psychologists worry about the safety of giving the power of prescription to a profession that studies basic science less than others who prescribe drugs. Groups including the Oregon Medical Association and Oregon Psychiatric Association opposed the law.

“We’re talking about behavioral professionals whose undergraduate training and graduate school training, for the most part, avoid the sciences,” said John McCully, the psychiatric association’s lobbyist.

Psychiatrists, like others with an M.D. degree, get extensive training in biology, organic chemistry, physiology and other sciences that help explain how chemicals affect the body. Other Oregon professionals who can prescribe drugs, including nurse practitioners and naturopaths, also get some training in those areas. While psychologists get doctoral degrees, they focus on social science.

The new law would require licensed psychologists to spend at least two years studying how drugs affect the brain and body, said Robin Henderson, an Oregon Psychological Association board member who helped negotiate the bill’s text. After that, psychologists probably will have to work under close supervision for a while before they are able to prescribe drugs on their own. Those educational requirements are steep enough that no one thinks many Oregon psychologists will seek a prescribing certificate.

Police lacked reasonable cause for stop, court rules

By William McCall The Associated Press

PORTLAND — The Oregon Court of Appeals on Wednesday overturned the firearms conviction of a man who turned out to be a felon with a handgun when a police officer stopped him after emerging from a Portland convenience store.

But the court noted it was also “one of the rare cases” when evidence did not support a trial court’s conclusions.

The officer became suspicious when Sarbaz Khoshnaw paused in front of the store after midnight in July 2007 and “did something with the front of his pants for approximately 10 seconds.”

The officer waited until the man emerged from the convenience store with soda and potato chips before pulling his patrol car across the street and

approaching the man. After asking the man for his identification and birth date, the officer then asked to search the man.

The body search turned up a handgun.

At a hearing to suppress the gun as evidence, Khoshnaw argued he did not feel free to leave during his conversation with the officer and that he was stopped without reasonable suspicion.

In an opinion by Chief Judge David Brewer, the Court of Appeals agreed with Khoshnaw and rejected a trial court ruling that the questioning and radio call did not amount to a stop.

Brewer noted it was difficult to conclude “that a reasonable person would think that he or she was free to leave at a time when that person is the investigatory subject of a pending warrant check.”

The court also ruled there was no reasonable suspicion to stop Khoshnaw after he emerged from the store.

Brewer said it could have been reasonable to suspect Khoshnaw was about to rob the store when he “fiddled with his pants” but that “any such reasonable suspicion dissipated” when he entered the store empty-handed and came out with purchases that were not unusual to make from such a store.

The officer had testified at trial that it was his experience that potential robbers sometimes enter a store and make minor purchases to see how much money is in the register.

The officer also testified that had Khoshnaw tried to leave during their conversation, he would have detained him, a statement the court said supported Khoshnaw’s argument that he was not free to leave.

3 Eastern Oregon residents honored for helping disabled

By Kathy Aney The East Oregonian

PENDLETON — This year’s Developmentally Disabled Champion Awards, a statewide honor, went to two Umatilla County moms and the director of the now-defunct Eastern Oregon Training Center.

Katherine Palmer and Jan Schroth, mothers of sons born with developmental disabilities, split an award given by the Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities for advocacy. Bob Clabby was recognized for using wisdom and sensitivity as he guided the training center to closure.

The birth of Palmer’s third son 20 years ago plunged her into a world she had never known. Brian had a trio of physical and cognitive challenges — autism, mental retardation and mild cerebral palsy.

Her son needs help with basic skills such as eating and dressing. His speech is garbled and Palmer has never heard the words “I love you” from her boy. A smile from him, however, warms her to the core.

She has learned to focus on what he can do, not what he can’t. She credits her middle son, Eric, with the latter. When he started playing baseball, he asked if Brian could play too.

Palmer shook her head.

“Why not?” Eric asked.

The question got her thinking. She bought a whiffle ball set and pitched to him. Brian loved it. From then on, she stopped assuming he couldn’t do something.

Schroth, of Hermiston, also found herself in a different world when her son, Eric, didn’t develop on schedule. At first, doctors thought hearing impairment might be causing his cognitive difficulties and placed tubes in his frequently infected ears. As time went on, however, it was apparent Eric’s intellectual abilities were severely lagging.

Both women adjusted to their new realities, learning

“They represent the power of parents.

They are parents out front, giving their perspectives and telling their stories to influence people in power.”

— Bill Lynch, executive director, Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities

as they went along. They read voraciously and studied options for their sons.

“I became involved in everything I could to learn how to support my son and make it through a life I never anticipated,” Palmer said.

When Schroth’s son, now 33, was about to enter school, she realized Eric would have to be bused to Hermiston, instead of attending in Stanfield where they lived at the time.

Schroth pushed Stanfield school officials to educate her son. To their credit, she said, it didn’t take much arm-twisting to persuade the district to accept

a student with developmental disabilities.

“It was kind of coming down the pike anyway — people knew it was coming,” she said. “Stanfield was pretty open to it.”

Eric was the first student with developmental disabilities to graduate from Stanfield. He now lives in his own apartment and works as a janitor. He recently earned a black belt in karate.

Both women serve on numerous state boards and act as local liaisons. Schroth is active with The ARC (formerly The Association for Retarded Citizens) at the local, state and national levels.

“They represent the power of parents,” said Bill Lynch, executive director of the Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities.

“They are parents out front, giving their perspectives and telling their stories to influence people in power.”

Both Brian Palmer and Eric Schroth attended the award ceremony at the state Capitol, along with other family members.

Also honored was Bob Clabby, who, as director of the Eastern Oregon Training Center, had the unenviable job of captaining a ship that slowly sank out of sight as he worked to transfer passengers onto smaller boats. Last year, Oregon legislators said EOTC’s 40 residents must move to smaller neighborhood group homes by the end of October. Clabby, as director, guided the shutdown.

O B Man sentenced for threats to UO official

Artist selected for Kulongoski portrait

EUGENE — A judge has sentenced a brain-injured man to five years of probation for making anti-Semitic phone threats to burn down the home of former University of Oregon President David Frohnmayer.

The Register-Guard in Eugene reports that the U.S. attorney’s office and the defense lawyer for Gregory Paul Freeman agreed that Freeman should get the relatively light sentence because he has had diminished mental capacity after being struck by a train in 2005.

U.S. District Judge Michael Hogan on Tuesday agreed with their recommendation.

The 56-year-old Freeman was convicted in December of using a telephone to threaten arson. Frohnmayer, who is not Jewish, has said he took the threats seriously.

PORTLAND — A Portland artist has been chosen to paint the official portrait of Gov. Ted Kulongoski.

Eduardo Fernandez tells The Oregonian that this is the first time he’s painted the portrait of a public figure or someone in government. He says he’s excited about doing the painting, which will hang in the state Capitol in Salem.

Kulongoski is in his final year of his term. It’s a tradition that Oregon governors have a portrait done once they leave office. The 49-year-old Fernandez says he and the governor chose an office in the Supreme Court Building as the setting for the painting. Kulongoski served four years as a justice.

Group finds homes for hedgehogs

PORTLAND — An Oregon man has been indicted on charges of illegally using shell corporations to move $172 million to 50 countries.

Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that Victor Kaganov of Tigard was indicted on a charge of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business that made more than 4,200 wire transactions.

Kaganov, a Russian immigrant, is accused of establishing multiple shell corporations in Oregon on behalf of Russian clients, most of them outside the United States.

U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton said transactions like the ones alleged in the indictment can hide millions of dollars overseas and threaten the integrity of the U.S. financial system.

— From wire reports

SALEM — A Salem-based group is finding homes for hundreds of hedgehogs seized from a Texas wholesaler.

The Hedgehog Welfare Society says it has helped place more than 500 African hedgehogs throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Vicki McLean, chief organizing officer of the nonprofit group, tells The Oregonian that at one time she had 44 of the critters in her Salem home. She says the small, tiny animals are nocturnal and enjoy eating bugs, but are smart and make good pets.

The hedgehogs came from an Arlington, Texas, company that was raided in December.

Officials seized thousands of exotic animals they say were being kept in poor conditions.

How you pay for untouchable fee

D

eschutes County officials hope to cut health care costs by creating a walk-in clinic and giving employees various incentives to use it.

Employees might pay nothing out of pocket for clinic visits, for in-

stance, or for any drugs prescribed at the clinic. Such visits also might happen on the clock, sparing employees the use of personal leave.

Officials know perfectly well how the creation of a “freebie clinic” for employees might look to county residents, many of whom don’t have jobs much less sterling health plans. But they’re counting on taxpayers to focus on the bottom line, which is really what matters. The purpose of the clinic — which is still in the exploration phase — is to save money, in part by reducing expensive trips to the emergency room and urgent care centers.

If such savings are real, it would be irresponsible for the county not to open the clinic and counterproductive for anyone to oppose it.

Besides, focusing outrage on the proposed clinic would be a distraction.

A much better target of scrutiny is the premium county employees pay for their health insurance, which is $35 per month even for families. The cost to the county, meanwhile, is about $6,500 per year for individuals and $15,000 for families, according to county Administrator Dave Kanner. This is not a “Cadillac” plan, county officials insist, and by public sector standards it may not be. But that’s not really the point.

The point, rather, is the unjustifiable persistence of the $35 premium co-pay, which the county’s own budget committee suggested increasing to $50 more than two years ago. The proposal didn’t catch anyone off-guard, as the county’s union contracts at the time allowed for even greater increases. They still do. The new contract with the sheriff’s deputies, in fact, allows premium co-pays of up to $65 per month.

So why is the monthly premium still $35 despite the budget committee’s nudging and the steady climb of actual health care costs? The premium freeze is an unintended consequence of the county’s fiscal prudence, combined with the reluctance of county commissioners to make a responsible, but tough, decision.

The county has been self-insured for about eight years, which in itself is not a problem. When done right, self-insurance can cut costs, in part because employers, unlike insurance companies, don’t have to make a profit on their health plans. More importantly, they get to keep the savings in years with few claims.

To backstop their health plan, Deschutes County officials created a reserve. And because they wanted to play it safe, they created a big reserve.

A very big reserve, as internal auditor David Givans noted during a September 2008 meeting of the county’s Employee Benefits Advisory Committee (EBAC). While other self-funded insurance plans might have up to 16 weeks’ worth of reserves, according to the minutes of that meeting, Givans pointed out that “Deschutes County … has a policy for a full year of claims, but we have far exceeded even that.”

As of Feb. 28, the fund contained over $16.9 million.

Healthy reserves are a good thing,

It’s simply unrealistic to expect premiums to remain $35 per month for year after year while actual costs escalate. to be sure. But somebody has to fund them, and in this case that somebody — or those somebodies — are county departments, which are assessed a health insurance charge every year.

Kanner discussed this funding trend at a January 2008 EBAC meeting and concluded, according to the meeting’s minutes, that it “has culminated in departments having to take away money that they need to fund operations for the community.” In other words, you and your families paid for that enormous reserve fund through reduced services.

Kanner also noted during that meeting that “employee premium copays nationally average more than $200 per month.”

Though county officials porked up the health benefits fund in order to be conservative, the very size of the reserve has had precisely the opposite effect. Medical care doesn’t care how big your reserve happens to be. It just keeps getting more expensive every year. But when confronted with potential increases in their $35 monthly premiums, county employees consistently have pointed to the size of the reserve and asked, “why? Look at all that money.”

During a January 2009 meeting, in fact, a representative of one employee union “asked whether we would consider lowering the co-pay since it appears that our reserve is so much higher than it needs to be,” according to minutes from the meeting.

Human nature being what it is, the county’s employees are bound to pursue their interests. Ideally, the people taxpayers elect to represent their interests, county commissioners, would make a case for sharing the burden of medical inflation. Why should employee premiums remain at $35 per month, despite the budget committee’s proposal, while taxpayers absorb rising costs in the form of eroded services? But county commissioners haven’t made that case. And now, says Commissioner Dennis Luke, “it’s a tough time to raise costs on county employees.”

Deschutes County’s employees deserve good health care. But it’s simply unrealistic to expect premiums to remain $35 per month for year after year while actual costs escalate. The employees’ own union contracts recognize this, yet county commissioners have refused to push the issue. They need to do better or find new jobs.

My Nickel’s Worth Bankrupting Oregon Now we find ourselves another $2 billion in the hole? Did Judy Stiegler anticipate this?

Where is the money coming from, Judy?

Oregon is now doing everything possible to drive out business and restrict private capital formation. My recent investigation of a business opportunity in Bend is now being tabled. The company I planned to revive will now fold with the loss of eight jobs and indirect losses to the supplier of the target company.

It’s time for a nonviolent revolution before these spendthrifts bankrupt our children and grandchildren.

How do we separate ourselves from the fools in Salem? If it cannot be done, then I plan to vote with my feet and move to Washington or Texas.

Think I will be alone?

Senators deliver I want to thank Sens. Wyden and Merkley for introducing the Cathedral Rock and Horse Heaven Wilderness proposal, which would preserve more than 16,000 acres of key Oregon wildlife habitat. The proposed areas include land alongside the Wild and Scenic John Day River, which is ideal for river-trips for families with kids.

I’ve traveled this stretch of river many times, and not only is it incredibly beautiful, it’s also an easy float and a great spot for fathers to teach their kids how to fly-fish, as I’m doing now with my own son. I’d like to know that he too will have the capac-

ity to pass this tradition down to his kids someday, and protecting this area as wilderness will make that more likely.

Sens. Wyden and Merkley are helping preserve this essential part of our heritage as Oregonians. I look forward to the passage of their bill, and the designation of these areas as a permanent wild sanctuary.

Letters I like

I’m truly confused. While reading Tom Hall’s Feb. 20 letter, “Coming tax increases,” I honestly couldn’t decide if it was the most masterful use of sarcasm in the history of editorials or if he really believes this, errr, garbage.

He started off by calling the approval of Measures 66 and 67 “resounding.”

They passed by 8.5 percent and 7.2 percent respectively. Then he argues for a 5 percent sales tax to “get the rich visitors” to our state. Personally, I’m in favor of a sales tax with a reduction in other areas of tax collection. But Mr. Hall calls for it in addition to our income tax, which already has the highest top rate in the nation and ranks fifth in per capita tax collections. And he wants to get around the 3 percent limit on property tax increases so we don’t have to stand in line at the DMV. The more I read over his paragraphs, the more I’m convinced he’s engaging in sarcasm. I would warn him, however, to make that fact clear at the end.

Some progressive is likely to read it and think it’s all a wonderful idea. And then Judy Stiegler will introduce it in the Legislature.

Jeff Kennedy Bend

Recently, I was pleased to see three “My Nickel’s Worth” letters. The first pointed out the many services provided by our “evil” big government, services that we all depend upon. The writer asked why many of those who benefit from these services complain loudest about having to help pay the taxes necessary to pay for them.

The second letter questioned why The Bulletin would print letters without questioning the facts and opinions presented in those letters. I have submitted letters to the Bulletin which have not been printed because I did not supply the “relevant reference” supporting my data. This occurred in spite of continuing to see many other letters printed that continued to present opinion stated as “fact.”

The third letter pointed out how incredibly naive it is to believe that “big business” cares about what is truthful and democratic in our current political system. In a recent editorial, The Bulletin claimed that “the American public” is not so easily fooled that we could not see the motives behind huge corporate advertising in support of a candidate or a party. This statement is an in-

Politicians betray constituents with long list of fee, tax hikes

By Adrian Anthony Bulletin guest columnist

D

id you know that while the citizens of this state were focused on Measures 66 and 67, our state administration stealthfully slipped through the side doors dozens of new taxes and tax increases? Didn’t see that covered in the news much. I would think that would have been something to draw attention to. News reporting used to be the people’s voice and conscience. What happened?

In addition to many being stealthful sales taxes, most of these taxes are large increases that affect virtually every aspect of our lives. Wait until you next go to the DMV. Surprise! You think you are not affected? Check it out on the state Web site, www.oregon.gov! Or wait until you get your next registration bill in the mail.

But it’s not just the Department of Motor Vehicles. These cost increases to us range across the spectrum of our lives to where now we even have to pay $9 a year to paddle a kayak in this state.

Kayaks? What? Inner-tubes and water wings next? Well, probably on the river now, lakes later. They upped the fees for so many things that you are not aware of yet, but you will be if you stick around a little while.

I was impressed noodling through that Web site. Who authorized these increased taxes? How do we get the names of the authors? I think that should be made easily accessible to all of us and if it is already, where? I suppose it’s important to remember we call these taxes user fees here in Oregon. But whether taxes or fees, they have the same deteriorating effect on the quality of the lives of us who are trying to feed children,

IN MY VIEW pay for our rent, find a job, or go for a walk. Maybe the elite will put user fees on our shoes next. We use sidewalks after all, and they cost money. Hey, there you go guys! Missed one! Better get on it quick before we change our political underwear.

Are our state and local politicians out of touch, self-serving, or just arrogant?

They seem to neither realize or care the level of burden they place on anybody trying to do anything. They claim they care for the children. Right! Well if you did, you wouldn’t be enslaving them like you are. All these taxes were slid in with little notice. Perhaps if there was a printed breakdown on the sales receipts we get when we pay for goods and services today, the realization of the truth

would sink in even in the valley. How much cost of a loaf of bread is direct and indirectly attributed to taxes? Transportation taxes, business taxes, employment taxes, income taxes, sales taxes, and on and on. The farmer who grows it still gets what he got 50 years ago in some cases. And I haven’t even touched on what I found when I went to file my state taxes for 2009. But that won’t be necessary. That’s coming to your door whether I say anything or not.

Something needs to change if we are to survive and hand anything to our young.

The young people would be outraged if they knew what our politicians were doing to their futures and their freedoms.

Oregon is one of the top 10 states on the verge of bankruptcy thanks to the progressive bureaucrats. We are nationally listed up there with California and New York. Does that make you proud?

Again I ask: How do we get the names of the authors of this mess and make their track records public? Lame, selfcentered leadership is affecting each of us personally. I think we need to make it personal back and hold the authors personally responsible. Maybe unemployment would be a wake up call!

As a fifth generation native Oregonian. I grew up when this was a wonderful place to live. We were free to enjoy the bounties of this land and make our futures meet our needs without some bureaucrat standing on our throat. Back then, we prospered and actually felt free. You really should go look at the www.oregon.gov state Web site and find out for yourself how less free you are today from just a short time ago. You sleep, you weep.

May 29, 1933 - February 28, 2010 Donald C. Smith took his final journey Sunday, February 28, this time home to be with the Lord.

Don was born May 29, 1933, the son of Lance and Alice (Walsh) Smith.

He graduated from Crook County High School in 1951 and on October 10, 1953 in Prineville, he Donald Smith married his life-long partner and love of his life, Ethel I. (York) Smith.

With the exception of a few months, Don lived his entire life in Prineville. He loved Central Oregon, always referring to it as "God's Country." Don lived a full life, working hard and playing harder. His passions were his family, work, hunting and fishing. Special events always found the Smith home filled with family, friends and some of Don's great cooking.

Don loved the Lord and was a member of the Powell Butte Christian Church.

Working more than 24 years at Ochoco Lumber Company, his vast experience there set the stage for what became a very successful venture for the Smiths with the founding of D&E Wood Products in 1979. Referring to himself as the "Junkman of the Timber Industry," Don discovered ways to utilize the unused lumber and trim-ends from local mills. His employees were like family and his clients often became dear friends. In 1996, Don retired and set out on new adventures, traveling the world, fishing and hunting various species of animals.

His family often refers to his collection of mounted animals as "The Dead Zoo." Don's family includes his wife, Ethel and children, Audrey and Rick Barnes of Roseburg, and Nancy and Greg Lambert of Prineville.

He was known as Pop-Pop to his grandchildren, Sam Lambert and Sam's fiance, Sulema Danner, Sarah and Dave Schultz, Jennifer and Sam Haines as well as his five great-grandchildren, Billy Schultz, Zachary Schultz, Nora Haines, Allison Danner and Brianna Danner. He is also survived by his sister, June Stover, two nieces, a nephew, numerous cousins and countless friends. Don was preceded in death by his parents, Lance and Alice Smith.

Visitation will be held Thursday, March 4, from 4-8 p.m. at Prineville Funeral Home. Services will be held at the Powell Butte Christian Church at 2:00 p.m., Friday, March 5. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made through the Prineville Funeral Home and directed to either Doernbecher Children's Hospital or the Alzheimer's Association.

Funeral arrangements are held by Prineville Funeral Home, 541-447-6459.

Barbeau Continued from C1 Barbeau has not held elected office, but previously served as a delegate with the Deschutes County Republican Party.

In 2003, he was one of eight candidates considered by Deschutes County Republicans to fill a vacancy in the state Senate — curiously, created by Clarno’s decision to step down to take a job with the U.S. Department of Human Services.

The party opted to appoint Ben Westlund, who eventually left the Republicans, and was elected state treasurer as a Democrat in 2008.

With Barbeau’s entry into the race, both Baney and fellow commissioner Dennis Luke will face a challenger in the Republican primary. With the deadline to file for the election coming up on Tuesday, no Democrats have announced plans to run for the County Commission.

Parks Continued from C1 “They understand if you reason with them what the problem is — if you feed them, they will come, and keep coming, and keep coming,” Stell said. “We’re trying to encourage people to keep them wild, let them forage where they’re supposed to, not have them depending on handouts in town.”

Also included in the list of proposed new rules is a ban on art or performances depicting sexually explicit materials in locations where it could be viewed by minors. Horton said the proposal is the result of a conflict the park district had with a photographer who had sought to display prints featuring “explicit nudity” at a public event.

Vince Genna Stadium and the adjoining Bend Fieldhouse would not be affected by the proposed rule changes, Horton said — both facilities are leased to the Bend Elks, and the baseball club sets its own policies.

All violations of park policy are subject to a fine of up to $100.

Gray revived Italian cooking in Britain

By William Grimes New York Times News Service

Rose Gray, a founder and chef of the River Cafe in London, a restaurant that transformed the image of Italian cooking in Britain by emphasizing fresh ingredients and authentic country dishes, died Sunday at her home in London. She was 71.

The cause was cancer, her business partner and fellow chef, Ruth Rogers, said.

Gray and Rogers opened the River Cafe in 1987 in a converted warehouse on the Thames in Hammersmith.

Instead of cliche trattoria staples like spaghetti Bolognese, they offered northern Italian cucina rustica — peasant dishes like grilled polenta and Tuscan bread soup, made with seasonal ingredients often flown in from Italian markets. The wine list was all Italian. The desserts, led by the signature “chocolate nemesis” cake, were killers.

“North Italian is what the River Cafe does with greater brio than has ever been done before in London,” wrote Jonathan Meades, the restaurant critic for The Times of London in 1988, when he conferred his annual Good Taste awards. “Indeed, it does north Italian home cooking with a greater brio than any north Italian restaurant in Italy seems capable of.”

Self-taught

Espinosa played the keyboard for band El Chicano Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Bobby Espinosa, a keyboard player who helped create the confluence of jazz, R&B and rock sounds for El Chicano, the East Los Angeles band that had top-40 hits in the 1970s with “Viva Tirado” and “Tell Her She’s Lovely,” has died.

He was 60.

Espinosa died Saturday night at White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles after a long illness, said the band’s manager, Freddie Sanchez.

Along with other local Latino bands, El Chicano played a funky, jazzy mix of R&B and pop music tinged with salsa.

An offshoot of an East L.A. cover band called the VIPs, El Chicano quickly gained a following in 1970 with “Viva Tirado, Part I,” a riff on a jazz recording by Gerald Wilson.

And while the band’s name suggested the players were plugged into the rising social and political activism of Latinos in L.A., the members backed away from any leadership role.

“We were just a bunch of musicians playing bars and trying to make a living,” Espinosa, one of the founding members of El Chicano, said in a 1998 Times interview.

Like her partner, Gray was self-taught as a chef. She had developed a passion for Italian home cooking while living in Lucca, Italy, and a liking for New York-style restaurants when she ran the kitchen at Nell’s, a Manhattan club, in 1986.

Impeccably sourced ingredients served in stylishly casual surroundings made the River Cafe a critical sensation and, in no time, a magnet for a flashy international cast of actors, rock stars, writers and politicians.

Clemency Anne Rose Swann was born on Jan. 28, 1939, in Bedford. Her father, a Royal Air Force pilot, died before her birth in an unsuccessful attempt to save his baby daughter and her nanny from a fire at the family’s timbered manor house.

Gray grew up believing her father had died during the war and did not discover the truth until she was in her 60s.

After earning a degree at the Guildford School of Art in Surrey, she taught art at a state-run school in East London. In 1961 she married Michael Gray. The marriage ended in divorce. She is survived by her second husband, David MacIlwaine.

In the early 1980s, the family moved to Lucca. When MacIlwaine, a sculptor, showed his work in New York in 1985, Gray was invited to run the kitchen at Nell’s, whose owner, Nell Campbell, was a friend of her first husband’s.

She found the work to her liking. On returning to London, she put in a stint cooking at Carluccio’s and then struck up a partnership with Rogers, a longtime friend, whose husband wanted a place to eat lunch when he opened his new architectural offices in Thames Wharf.

FRONTS

Suicide Continued from C1 After Haskin was arrested, he was transported to St. Charles Bend because he had taken a large amount of methamphetamine, according to the report.

On Feb. 3, Haskin was released from the hospital and taken to the jail, where he was seen by mental health staff who recommended that he be housed with a cell mate. Deputies interviewed later said Haskin seemed to be in good spirits and didn’t make any comments about harming himself, though the report does note a Feb. 2 report from a mental health staff member who found Haskin to be “depressed” and “somewhat tearful.”

Haskin was placed in a cell with another inmate, but later

Curb ramps Continued from C1 In October, city officials asked the DOJ if fixing about 700 curb ramps by 2011 would be enough to fulfill the terms of the settlement agreement, citing severe budget constraints and saying the city simply could not afford to do all the necessary work. Under the proposal, other curb ramps that are not technically in compliance with the ADA but that the city deems “safe and usable” would get a pass.

Winters said Wednesday that the 700 ramps would be in addition to about 500 that already have been upgraded and about 1,300 the city has identified as “safe and usable.”

The city has not gotten a response and the Washington, D.C.-based investigator assigned to the case did not return calls for comment Tuesday or Wednesday.

Winters said the proposal also stated that the city would continue to upgrade about 150 to 200 curb ramps every year while doing overlays and other projects.

But in an effort to get moving forward, the city recently awarded an $881,600 contract to a local engineering firm for improvements to about 200 ramps in the downtown area this summer.

Officials say they identified priority areas like downtown by seeking feedback from the community through a public forum held in January and an online survey asking residents to vote on where the city should focus its

that day, that inmate was released from custody.

At about 3:20 p.m., a deputy passed by Haskin’s cell for a regular check and didn’t see anything unusual. The cell wasn’t checked again until about 4 p.m., when a different deputy walked by and found Haskin with a bed sheet twisted around his neck and secured to the top bunk bed.

The deputy called for help and other jail staff members helped cut the sheet. Haskin was breathing but didn’t have a pulse, so a deputy began chest compressions. Medics arrived at the jail a few minutes later and put Haskin in an ambulance.

Dugan said jail staff members followed protocol before and after Haskin was found in his cell.

He said Haskin was never placed on suicide watch because deputies saw no indication that he

was likely to harm himself.

“They had recovered letters from him that he had written, just that day, expressing to the people he wrote the letters to that he was going to put them on the visitation list, and making future plans,” Dugan said.

Haskin, who had moved to Redmond days before his arrest, had no prior criminal record in Deschutes County, but he had a smattering of charges on his record from other counties, including convictions for drunken driving and forgery in Clatsop County in the mid-1990s and a criminal mischief conviction in Washington County in 1998.

Haskin’s suicide was the first at the jail since 1996.

efforts.

Bend’s accessibility manager, Susan Duncan, said the responses consistently urged officials to prioritize work in areas with medical facilities as well as downtown.

The majority of the work in areas surrounding medical buildings has been done, Duncan said, so now the city is shifting its focus to downtown.

Bend resident and disability advocate Carol Fulkerson said she’s glad to hear the city is moving forward with work but is disappointed that those most affected by the work weren’t consulted much about where that work would take place.

Fulkerson, a member of the Central Oregon Coalition for Access steering team and a member of the Committee on Accessible Transit, said she and a group of advocates met with city officials a year ago to talk about how the financially strapped city could best use its dollars.

“We said at that time that we recognize, given the times, it was highly unlikely they would fulfill the terms of (the settlement) and we offered to work with them to identify problem areas,” Fulkerson said. “And advocates have not been called to the table since then. Instead they’ve focused on efforts to reduce their obligation.”

Romeo agreed, calling the public forum the city held on curb ramps a “dog and pony show.”

“It is absolutely fair to say the advocates felt excluded,” Romeo said. “One public meeting held on

a weekday afternoon for a couple of hours certainly is not the way to get the big swath of feedback they wanted to get. This kind of thing happens through a lengthy public process.”

Romeo and Fulkerson both said they believe the city could fully fund the upgrades called for by the settlement if the will was there.

“If the City Council was strongly behind satisfying the existing settlement agreement they could identify a stream of funding, whether they go for a gas tax or employment tax, they could knock this out,” Fulkerson said. “But it is going to take the commitment of all City Council to get that done.”

Fulkerson said asking voters to pass a bond to get the work done would not be appropriate because “this is a civil rights issue, it is an obligation the city has to meet.”

Bend City Councilor Jodie Barram said she and her colleagues are committed to making the city accessible to everyone but they are also responsible for the financial health of the city overall.

“So could the city find a stream of revenue? The short answer is ‘Yes, we could,’” Barram said.

“The real-world answer is ‘No, we won’t right now.’ Because we would have to leverage city funds, and I think that would put us in a precarious position as a city. You don’t want to bankrupt your city if you don’t have to.”

Couch-potato rainbows in the shadow of Grand Coulee

B

ob Loomis was intent, watching the tip of his spinning rod as the plastic bounced a rocky bottom.

“Do you think these fish are following the bait for a long time?” I asked.

“Regular trout would, but these are …”

“Couch potatoes?”

“Exactly.”

Rufus Woods Lake is the pool backed up by Chief Joseph Dam in the shadow of Grand Coulee on the Columbia River in northeast Washington. The upper Columbia is legendary for big trout, but it is only in the last few years that this 53-mile-long reservoir has come into its own.

GARY LEWIS

Washington’s state record rainbow was pulled from Rufus Woods, a triploid rainbow that tipped the scales at 29 pounds, 13 ounces. Rainbows have been in the river all along, but the triploids are newcomers.

Created in a laboratory, the fish are engineered for eating.

They are sterile so they don’t waste any energy toward procreation. Fins and tails are clipped so they don’t burn calories racing around their net pens.

Most triploids are sold to restaurants and grocery stores, but a percentage end up as sport fish.

Storm win first playoff game in school history Bulletin staff report HILLSBORO — Mitch Wettig scored a game-high 23 points and Matt Meagher added 12 as Summit High overcame a firstquarter deficit on Wednesday to defeat Hillsboro 67-60 in the first round of the Class 5A state boys basketball playoffs.

The Storm, the Intermountain Conference’s fourth and final seed in the 5A postseason, trailed 19-12 after the opening quarter but outscored the Spartans 55-41 the rest of the game.

“Mitch Wettig was huge,” said Summit coach Dan Munson, whose team will play at North Eugene on Saturday in the second round of the playoffs for a

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Tiger Woods’ caddie said he knew nothing about the golfer’s extramarital affairs and was angry with him over the scandal.

Steve Williams told TV3’s “60 Minutes” program Wednesday that he is also bitter at the reaction toward him from the media and members of the public.

“It’s been the most difficult time of my life, no two ways about it, because every single person believed that I should know or did know or had something to do with it,” Williams said. “I knew nothing, that’s my answer. I don’t have to clarify or extend that answer, I knew nothing.”

The New Zealander, who has been Woods’ caddie for 11 years, said he would have “blown the whistle” if he had known about the player’s behavior.

Williams said he was angry when revelations about Woods’ private life emerged, but had not berated the player because he felt he needed a friend.

“Of course I’m mad at him, why would you not be?” Williams said. “I’m close with his wife and he’s got two lovely children and he’s let them down.

“When a guy’s having a tough time, it’s not up to me to beat him with a stick right now. He’s getting enough grilling from everybody else.”

“Twice he hit back-to-back three-pointers for us.”

Brandon Norby added 11 points, Cody Absalon contributed 10 points and Justin Huckins recorded nine points in what was the first postseason victory in Storm boys basketball history.

Down 37-27 toward the end of the second quarter, Summit (1313 overall) went on an 8-2 run to close out the half, putting the Storm just four points back, 3935, from the No. 3 team from the Northwest Oregon Conference.

The second half was all Summit, as the Storm held the Spartans to just 21 points after halftime.

Haystack Reservoir near Madras can offer decent fishing in late winter and early spring.

More than a mudhole Haystack Reservoir offers a variety of species for Central Oregon anglers throughout the spring

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

CULVER — When out-of-town anglers plan their trips to Central Oregon, few ever make Haystack Reservoir a high priority.

The high-desert reservoir just south of Madras off U.S. Highway 97 does not bring to mind scenes of pulling trout out of the sparkling highmountain lakes for which our region is famous.

I have heard Haystack Reservoir — a re-regulation facilfor the North Unit IrrigaHUNTING ity tion District in Madras — re& FISHING ferred to as a “mudhole.”

“It’s kind of true in the summer months,” admitted Brett Hodgson, a Bend-based fish biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. “It gets too warm in the summer. The fish basically go down to the cooler water and hunker down.”

But from now through spring, Haystack can offer decent chances for a variety of species, including rainbow trout, brown trout, kokanee, bluegill, black crappie and largemouth bass.

“It’s actually one of the better opportunities in the area in the early spring,” Hodgson said this week, “simply because of its lower elevation and its accessibility weatherwise. Now’s a good time.”

The ODFW released more than 100 brood fish (5- to 10-pound rainbow trout used for the production of hatchery eggs) into the reservoir about a month ago, according to Hodgson.

Many anglers target those fish, but many more come to Haystack simply to get away and fish — the reservoir is just a 15-minute drive from Redmond and a 10-minute drive from Madras.

Anglers at Haystack realize the fishing can be slow, and some seem OK with that.

“Most people are just out here to fish,” said Tom Garner, of Redmond, who was fishing from the west shore of Haystack on Monday.

Redmond loses in first round Bulletin staff report PORTLAND — Despite a fast start and an early lead, Redmond struggled in the second half of its first-round Class 6A boys basketball state playoff game on Wednesday and fell to host Wilson, 71-48.

Tanner Manselle posted a team-high 18 points for the Panthers and Christian Welsh added nine for the Panthers.

But Redmond, which led 14-8 after the first quarter, never found its offensive rhythm once the Trojans (17-8 overall) switched from a man-to-man defense to a 2-3 zone.

“When they were playing man we were patient and executed offensively,” said Panther coach Dusty Porter. “We got some good shots and made

them. But then they went to a 2-3 zone and they came back.”

Trevor Richie scored 27 points and post Bob Lazenby added 16, all of which came in the second half, for Wilson, the runners-up in the Portland Interscholastic League this season.

“He was just 6-1, but he had soft hands and a good first move,” Porter said about Lazenby, who helped the Trojans turn a 24-22 halftime advantage into a 47-36 lead by the end of the third quarter.

The Panthers ended their season with a 10-15 overall record. Redmond overcame an eight-game losing streak during the nonconference portion of its schedule to finish fourth in the Central Valley Conference.

Tom Garner, of Redmond, makes a cast from the west shore of Haystack Reservoir earlier this week.

“They know the fishing’s slow. But it gets a lot of use. I think it’s just because of the location and convenience.”

That is not exactly a ringing endorsement.

But Hodgson said that the variety of species and ease of access make Haystack a popular fishing spot.

Bass can grow up to 7 pounds in the reservoir, but the population cannot thrive because water is drawn out of the reservoir during the day, reducing the shallow waters near shore in which bass spawn, Hodgson explained.

Water diverted out of the Deschutes River fills the reservoir overnight, then is released during the day to provide irrigation to nearby farms.

How is Bracketville shaping up as we near March Madness?

By Bud Withers McClatchy-Tribune News Service

S

lants and rants as Bracketville looms on the horizon: • The worst at-large pool of teams since the advent of the 64-team tournament bracket in 1985 — that’s what ESPN.com analyst Jay Bilas is calling this year’s candidates. That’s a lot of bubbles, Jay. • I think Washington might squeeze into the NCAA without winning the Pac-10 tournament. It could come down to a potential Pac-10-tournament semifinal game with Arizona State, loser out of the big dance.

• Still, bracketologist Joe Lunardi is skeptical. On a national conference call Wednesday, he said, “I don’t think there’s any longer a scenario for three Pac-10 teams. I don’t know that there’s really an at-large team in the Pac-10 other than Cal.” • Ironically, the recent fade of Gonzaga victims Illinois and Cincinnati as NCAA hopefuls helps Washington and hurts the Zags. If Illinois, Cincy and Saint Mary’s don’t make it, Gonzaga figures to have only one victory over an NCAA-tournament team (Wisconsin).

Last year, it had four on its way to a No. 4 seed.

• Evan Turner of Ohio State, the likely national player of the year, has won seven Big Ten player-of-the-week awards this year, despite missing a month.

• Memo to Larry Scott, the new Pac-10 commissioner: While you’re dealing with FSN, how about suggesting they spruce up their Saturday halftime shows, the ones that consist of Thursday night’s Pac-10 highlights, complete with a crawl breathlessly revealing Thursdaynight scores across the country?

• Wouldn’t you know it? North Carolina, which has rarely been more vulnerable, has an NCAA-record streak of 54 home wins against Clemson. But with the ACC’s unbalanced schedule, the Tar Heels didn’t host the Tigers (21-8) this year.

• USC might accomplish the strange feat of not scoring in the 70s for an entire 18-game conference season. The Trojans put up 87 on Washington Jan. 23 but in their other 15 games, haven’t scored more than 68.

“Basically,” says coach Kevin O’Neill, “we’re a little bit fried as a team.”

• For those of you with no life, there’s www.bloggingthebracket.com, which projects not only the NIT field, but the CBI and CollegeInsider.com.

• Not a great year in the SEC for a couple of hands on Lynn Nance’s old staff at Washington in the early ’90s.

Trent Johnson’s LSU team is last in the SEC West at 113, and Mark Fox’s Georgia club is tied for the SEC East cellar at 5-9.

• New Mexico (27-3) deserves a long look on your NCAA bracket. It has seven top-50 RPI victories, and at 6-0 against ranked opposition, is the only team other than Syracuse to have gone unbeaten versus the top 25.

• Even by UCLA coach Ben Howland’s standards, he was burning timeouts as madly as a texting teenager last week against Oregon, calling three in the first half in a span of a minute, 54 seconds. He was fresh out with 12 minutes left in the game.

• Cal coach Mike Montgomery, stumping for a 96team NCAA field: “There are legitimate potential national-championship winners being left out of the tournament.” Really? Name one, Montie.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

No. 2 Kansas handles No. 5 Kansas State The Associated Press LAWRENCE, Kan. — Wearing another Big 12 championship Tshirt, his teammates’ arms around his shoulders, hands patting him on the head, Sherron Collins looked toward the video scoreboard as tears streamed down his face.

His career in Allen Fieldhouse, one of the greatest ever played out inside the storied gym, had come to a close.

And what a finish.

Shaking off his emotions and a tough shooting night, Collins scored 17 points in his final home game to help No. 2 Kansas beat No. 5 Kansas State 82-65 Wednesday and clinch its sixth straight Big 12 title outright.

“This is it, it’s the last one,” said Collins, one of seven from threepoint range and five for 15 overall in his Phog finale. “I didn’t want to get off the court. I wanted it to go on all night, but it couldn’t.”

Xavier Henry scored 15 of his 19 points in a tight first half and Kansas (28-2, 14-1) wore down Kansas State in a foul-filled game to extend the nation’s longest home winning streak to 59 games.

The Jayhawks are 32-2 against Kansas State in the Big 12 era and are in position to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Denis Clemente had 21 points to lead Kansas State (24-5, 11-4).

Also on Wednesday: No. 3 Kentucky . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .80 Georgia. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .68 ATHENS, Ga. — John Wall had 24 points and Kentucky (28-2, 13-2 SEC) clinched at least a share of the Southeastern Conference regularseason championship by beating Georgia.

No. 22 Maryland . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .79 No. 4 Duke . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .72 COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Greivis Vasquez scored 20 points, including a clutch basket with 37 seconds left, and Maryland beat Duke to move into a tie with the Blue Devils atop the Atlantic Coast Conference standings.

No. 7 Purdue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 74 Indiana . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .55 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — E’Twaun Moore scored 21 points and Chris Kramer added a seasonhigh 18 in his final home game to help Purdue (25-4, 13-4 Big Ten) beat Indiana.

Storm Continued from D1 “In the third quarter we got stops,” Munson said. “We shut down (Hillsboro’s leading scorers in the first half) Tyson Fernstrom and Dominique Mims.”

In the first half, Mims scored 13 points and Fernstrom posted 10. But Summit held the two Spartans to three points apiece after the break.

Meagher, playing the role of defensive enforcer, also limited Hillsboro’s explosive Colt Lyerla to

No. 8 New Mexico . . . . . . . . . . . . . .73 TCU . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .66 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Darington Hobson had 20 points and 14 rebounds while Roman Martinez added 19 points in his final game at The Pit, leading New Mexico (283, 14-2 Mountain West) over TCU to secure the Lobos’ first outright conference title in 16 years.

No. 14 BYU . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .71 Utah . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 51 SALT LAKE CITY — Brandon Davies scored a career-high 21 points and Michael Loyd Jr. added 18 as BYU beat Utah, giving the Cougars their third sweep of the state rivalry in the last four seasons.

No. 15 Wisconsin . . . . . . . . . . . . . .67 Iowa. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .40 MADISON, Wis. — Jon Leuer scored 18 points, Trevon Hughes and Jason Bohannon celebrated Senior Night in style and Iowa didn’t offer much resistance against Wisconsin (22-7, 12-5 Big Ten).

No. 16 Tennessee . . . . . . . . . . . . . .80 Arkansas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .73 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Scotty Hopson scored 15 points to lead Tennessee (22-7, 10-5 SEC) over

just eight points. Lyerla, a junior running back and linebacker on the Spartans football team this past fall, is widely considered the top football prospect in all of Oregon.

“Matt did an outstanding job on Lyerla,” Munson said about his senior post. “(Lyerla) had a couple of huge dunks and blocked shots, but we didn’t quit.”

Clinging to a three-point lead with less than two minutes left in the game, Summit hit all six of its final free throws to seal the playoff victory. Seniors Huckins, Norby and Meagher all went two for two from the line in the closing minutes of the game.

For the entire playoff contest, the Storm hit 11 of its

Arkansas. The Volunteers shot 54.5 percent and had five players score in double figures, but it was a technical foul called on coach Bruce Pearl that sparked Tennessee (22-7, 10-5 SEC) as it finally pulled away from the Razorbacks (14-16, 7-8).

No. 20 Temple . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .57 Saint Louis . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 51 ST. LOUIS — Lavoy Allen had 18 points and 14 rebounds, and Temple Owls (25-5, 13-2) beat Saint Louis to remain tied for first place in the Atlantic 10. The Owls (25-5, 13-2) have won six in a row and 14 of 16.

No. 23 Texas A&M . . . . . . . . . . . . .76 Oklahoma State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 61 COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Donald Sloan scored 19 points and Texas A&M led from start to finish in a win over Oklahoma State.

The Aggies (21-8, 10-5 Big 12) used three-point shooting to take an early lead and a 14-0 run in the opening minutes of the second half.

No. 25 Xavier . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .82 Fordham . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .56 NEW YORK — Jamel McLean scored 13 of his 16 points in the first half and Xavier (22-7, 13-2 Atlantic 10) handed Fordham its 20th consecutive loss.

12 foul shots.

“It’s what you expect out of seniors,” Munson said.

Summit’s third-year coach also sang the praise of Absalon, his senior point guard. In addition to chipping in 10 points, Munson said Absalon did not turn the ball over in the fourth quarter.

The Storm, who are now on a three-game winning streak, will play at North Eugene on Saturday. The Highlanders (15-7 overall), who received a bye in the first round of the playoffs, finished second in the Midwestern League this season behind Marshfield.

NBA ROUNDUP

S B

NBA SCOREBOARD SUMMARIES

Basketball • Cavs reach out to Ilgauskas: The Cleveland Cavaliers are applying full-court pressure to Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Several of the center’s former Cleveland teammates visited him in New York on Tuesday, hoping to persuade him to re-sign with the Cavs and help them make a run at an NBA title. Ilgauskas, who has a place in SoHo, was traded last month to Washington in the deal for forward Antawn Jamison. Ilgauskas recently bought out his contract with the Wizards, freeing him to re-sign with any team after 30 days.

Golf • Nicklaus thinks Woods will play Masters: Jack Nicklaus is going to appear at next month’s Masters. He thinks Tiger Woods will as well. Nicklaus said Wednesday that “it would surprise me” if Woods did not return to competitive golf in time for the Masters, a tournament the embattled world No. 1 has won four times in his career. “I suspect he’ll play something before Augusta,” Nicklaus said behind the 18th green at PGA National, where the Honda Classic opens today. “Your guess is as good as mine. I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t play something before Augusta.”

• Daly turns heads with tweets: John Daly was so irritated that a Florida newspaper wrote about his PGA Tour disciplinary file that he referred to the writer as a “jerk” on Twitter and posted the writer’s cell phone number for his followers to call. The Florida Times-Union reported Tuesday that the file is now public record through Daly’s unsuccessful libel lawsuit against the newspaper. The file is 456 pages and notes that Daly has been suspended five times and cited 21 times for not giving his best effort.

Soccer • Netherlands beats U.S.: The United States fell flat in Europe once again, losing to the Netherlands 2-1 Wednesday night in Amsterdam in the Americans’ last match before coach Bob Bradley picks his World Cup roster. U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra scored in the 88th minute, beating Maarten Stekelenburg to the 6-yard box to head in DaMarcus Beasley’s 35-yard free kick with his team down 2-0.

Football • Manning recovering from neck surgery: Peyton Manning has spent 12 seasons being a pain in the neck of NFL opponents. Now the four-time league MVP is trying to alleviate the pain in his own neck. The Indianapolis Colts announced Wednesday that Manning had surgery in Chicago to fix a pinched nerve, a procedure that is not expected to interrupt Manning’s offseason workouts or his availability for next season.

• Redskins tender QB Campbell: A person familiar with the decision says the Washington Redskins have put a first-round tender on restricted free agent quarterback Jason Campbell. The tender is worth about $3.1 million, the person told The Associated Press, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the move hasn’t been announced by the team. The move means other teams would have to give up a first-round pick to sign Campbell.

• Redskins’ Samuels to retire: Washington Redskins six-time Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels will announce his retirement Thursday.

The announcement has been expected. Samuels hasn’t played since banging heads with a defensive player Oct. 11 in a game against the Carolina Panthers. The collision left him with a neck injury, and doctors advised him the risk was too great to try to play again.

Baseball • Ducks lose: Oregon matched Washington hit-for-hit on Wednesday afternoon in Eugene, but the Ducks stranded 12 runners on base in a 5-3 loss to the Huskies. Sophomore righthander Madison Boer (0-1) took the loss for the Ducks (5-5), tossing four innings and allowing four runs on eight hits. Danny Pulfer led the Ducks with a three-for-four day, while Marcus Piazzisi had a two-run home run. The Ducks return to the road on Friday when they begin a four-game series at Fresno State.

Cycling • Armstrong 46th at Tour of Murcia: Robert Hunter of Garmin-Transitions won the first stage of the Tour of Murcia in Spain on Wednesday, while Lance Armstrong finished 46th. Hunter won the 103-mile ride around the coastal town of San Pedro del Pinatar in 4 hours, 15 minutes, 40 seconds. Armstrong is using the five-day race along the southeastern Mediterranean coast of Spain as training for the Tour de France. The Texan, who rides for his new Team RadioShack, is looking to improve his time trial performance on Saturday.

Hockey • Many NHL deals done, but no blockbusters: So much for another big hockey boost. The NHL trade deadline came and went with a thud instead of a bang. Not that anyone expected Wednesday’s deadline to come anywhere close to the excitement of Canada’s Olympic gold medal win over the United States three days earlier, but it didn’t even generate the buzz of previous trading days that created the wow factor. It did, however, produce a couple of records.

There were a deadline-high 31 deals, mostly of the smaller variety, involving a record 55 players and 25 draft picks completed before the cutoff Wednesday. But big-name players such as Toronto’s Tomas Kaberle, Carolina forward Ray Whitney, and New York Islanders goalies Dwayne Roloson and Martin Biron stayed with their clubs that are on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff race. The day wasn’t a total bust on the excitement scale as key players such as forward Raffi Torres, who went from Columbus to Buffalo, and defenseman Steve Staios, part of a rare trade between bitter Alberta rivals Edmonton and Calgary, found new homes in deals that could prove significant in time.

Indiana’s Roy Hibbert (55) and Dahntay Jones, center, defend a shot by Portland’s Brandon Roy, left, during the first half Wednesday in Portland.

Roy and Aldridge help Blazers rout Pacers, 102-79 The Associated Press PORTLAND — The Portland Trail Blazers brought their highscoring ways home with them.

Brandon Roy scored 22 points, LaMarcus Aldridge added 19 points and seven rebounds, and the Trail Blazers continued the offensive push that carried them through a tough road swing, cruising to a 10279 win over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.

Rudy Fernandez had 16 points, including five three-pointers for Portland. Andre Miller added 12 and Jerryd Bayless had 10. The Blazers, coming off a 4-1 road trip, have scored more than 100 points in six straight games for the first time since Feb. 4-17, 1998.

“It’s a good sign,” Portland coach Nate McMillan said. “To move the ball, set good screens ... We’ve got guys who can put the ball in the basket.”

Danny Granger led the Pacers with 30 points. He got very little help on the offensive end. T.J. Ford added nine and Dahntay Jones had eight. Indiana’s second-leading scorer, Troy Murphy, was just two of seven from the field and Brandon Rush made two of nine. The Pacers had 18 turnovers.

“We turned the ball over way too many times,” Murphy said. “Portland did a good job defensively, but we have got to give a better effort than we did tonight.”

The Pacers were even worse on the defensive end, particularly inside, where Aldridge made eight of 11 shots. Indiana has given up 100 or more points in 41 games this season and entered the game 24th in the league in scoring defense.

Granger scored 12 in the first quarter and the Pacers led by as many as seven, but Aldridge hit his first four shots for the Blazers, and Bayless put Portland up 41-29 with a drive to the hoop. The Blazers led by as many as 15 in the second quarter, but Granger scored twice and Ford converted a runner to get the Pacers to 50-41 just before the half.

The Blazers opened up a 57-43 lead before Indiana scored a point in the third. Fernandez hit a threepointer to put Portland up 79-59.

“We didn’t play as a team is the only thing I can say,” Indiana center Roy Hibbert said. “We’ve been trying to figure it out all year.”

Jason Chimera also scored, and Boyd Gordon added an empty-net goal for Washington. Hours after acquiring four players at the trade deadline, the NHL-leading Capitals (42-13-8) ended a three-game losing streak in their first game following the Olympic break.

Miller made 37 saves in his first

NHL ROUNDUP start since leading the United States to a silver medal and being selected the tournament MVP three days ago.

He received a 45-second pregame standing ovation from the hometown fans.

Jochen Hecht scored for Buffalo.

Mudhole Continued from D1 But this process does not affect the trout population, Hodgson said. “It’s perfect water temperatures now,� Hodgson said, referring to trout fishing. “And they’re coming out of dormancy in the wintertime and they’re wanting to feed.�

Fishing prospects for bass and crappie typically pick up in early May. Each spring, the ODFW stocks Haystack Reservoir with 40,000 small kokanee, 6,400 legal rainbows, and 2,000 brown trout in late April and early May. Most of the kokanee leave

the reservoir through its irrigation canals, said Hodgson. But of those kokanee that remain, he added, some reportedly have grown to as long as 17 inches.

A sizable population of suck-

ers and brown bullhead (catfish) enter Haystack Reservoir from farm ponds via the canals, according to Hodgson. “If you’re bait-fishing from shore with a worm, you’ll catch more bullhead than anything else,� the biologist noted. He likened the bait-fishing experience at Haystack to that at Prineville and Ochoco reservoirs, two waters similarly situated on Central Oregon’s high desert.

Hodgson said that some of the biggest bullhead he has ever seen in Central Oregon have come out of Haystack Reservoir — 15 to 16 inches long and “just as fat as can be.�

But because most anglers are not targeting the bullhead, Hodgson recommends using Rooster

Tail or Blue Fox lures instead of worms.

While bank-fishing opportunity is ample at Haystack — including casting from a fishing platform on the north end of the reservoir — anglers will catch more fish from a boat, Hodgson said.

Trolling with bait or lures is the most popular technique on Haystack, but Hodgson said that at least one of the giant brood rainbows was landed on a fly last season.

Mudhole or not, anglers can often find what they’re looking for at Haystack Reservoir.

Krappie Killer, tied by David Miller.

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

Rainbows Continued from D1 The Colville Tribes raise trout in net pens on Rufus Woods Lake, and over the years have lost thousands into the reservoir. Those football-shaped, couch-potato rainbows roam the reservoir putting on pounds. Any angler with a nightcrawler could end up battling the next state-record rainbow.

A certain smugness crept into our conversation as we headed to the lake from our base at the Lake Pateros Inn. We had timed the trip well. The weather was gorgeous for midFebruary. Three weeks before, the state had stocked the lake with 30,000 fish. “How big?� I asked. “Three to eight,� Loomis said. “Three to eight inches?� “Pounds.�

We met Ray Bailey, of R/C Guide Service (www.rcguideservice.com), at the launch.

Loomis, Brian Smith, from Birmingham, Ala., and I stepped aboard Bailey’s 19-foot Hewes Sea Runner, while he fired the 125horse Merc.

Our spinning rods were rigged with a white plastic tube bait of Bailey’s creation topped with a Smile Blade and a lure called the Squidder, by Mack’s Lure. To get down we would use slinky weights. Our main lines

were 10-pound test, and our leaders were 20-pound — 20-pound test for hatchery rainbows! That’s when I knew we were after serious fish.

Loomis, sales manager for Mack’s Lure, had fished the reservoir the week before on a “slow� day and caught a 13-pounder and six in the 3- to 8-pound class.

We motored downstream from the launch and set up in a run next to one of the net pens where the big triploids are raised. The bottom was smooth stones and varied in depth from 13 to 40 feet.

Our baits looked like bass or walleye tackle, but our technique was like steelhead fishing. Orient the boat with the bow pointed upstream then cast out to the side and let the bait drag and bounce into the kitchen.

Everything seemed to line up: the weather, solunar tables, stocking schedule. Someone forgot to tell the fish. Bailey’s jaw was set.

Loomis chewed his ever-present unlit cigar.

We had a couple grabs and head shakes to raise the heart rates.

Perhaps we wanted it too bad. Perhaps it was the front expected that evening, with its attendant loss of pressure. But there is usually a moment before the weather arrives, when fish go on the feed. If we kept our baits in the water ...

A big trout smacked a crankbait, but

Spring is around the corner and that means fish are going to be biting. Some of those fish are minnow-eaters like black crappie. They set up along structure and at transition points between shallow water and deep water to ambush their prey.

Some of the best crappie baits come in chartreuse, yellow and red or orange.

The Krappie Killer employs bead chain for flash and weight. A marabou tail allows for constant action.

Use a slow-sink or a sink-tip

came unstuck. We motored a mile or two upstream. Here, the current broke around a rocky point creating a seam that stretched for 300 yards. We set up at the top, a short cast from shore. Bailey kept the bow pointed up while we probed the run with our plastics.

Birmingham Brian had come all the way from Alabama. So far he had been blanked.

Finally, he said, “Fish on.� The trout was a triploid — 13 inches, not 13 pounds, but it was a fish. Our moment had come, an hour before dark. “Fish on.� Brian’s second trout was a 2-pounder.

Loomis hit the third one, a pig-like trout with a small head and a ponderous belly — 3 pounds plus. I felt a grab, a tremendous headshake, then slack. “Fish on.� It was Brian again, with his third rainbow and a big smile. I looked at the darkening sky and the big river with its potential to kick out another state-record couch potato.

This fishery peaks in late winter. There will be another day.

Storylines as PGA heads into Florida swing

By Jeff Shain The Orlando Sentinel

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Tiger casts his shadow from a distance. The winner’s circle comes with a revolving door. The Ping Eye-2 stirs controversy. The Europeans are rising — fast.

All of a sudden, it’s 1990 all over again.

Is that a good thing?

If you like fresh faces, variety on the leaderboard and a splash of neon fashion on the weekend, then maybe. If you believe Sundays were made for star power — well, the 2010 PGA Tour season could use a jump-start.

As the tour sets to begin its fourweek Florida swing, teeing off Thursday at the Honda Classic, even the major characters aren’t quite sure what to make of retro. “It’s hard to say,� said Phil Mickelson, the promising young hope 20 years ago and the hopeful elder statesman now. “When we come to Doral, I think that’s when the heart of the season is starting to occur.

Everybody’s now getting ready — we’re all playing against the best players in the world, and pretty soon comes Augusta.�

Greg Norman was fond of saying the PGA Tour doesn’t really begin until the Florida Swing.

With that in mind, here are a few things to keep in mind as the road show winds its way from South Florida to Tampa to Bay Hill.

A Tiger-free Swing?: Eight weeks now, and few sightings of Tiger Woods with a club in his hand and a steely gaze on his face. A script and pensive countenance, yes, but certainly not the TW who shifts into high gear when the calendar turns to March.

That could be changing, though. Woods returned home to Isleworth last weekend and has been seen hitting balls on the

range. Whether he’s simply unwinding from 7 ½ weeks of therapy/counseling or shifting into overdrive, only time will tell.

Woods never has sat out the entire Florida swing. In fact, he never has played fewer than two swing events since gaining full PGA Tour privileges in 1997. “He will be away longer than people think,� friend and fellow PGA Tour pro Notah Begay III told Golf World magazine.

Star turns: Woods never has had much of a rival since his rise to No. 1, displaced only by Vijay Singh for a few months in 2006.

Singh eventually was beaten back, just like David Duval, Ernie Els, Mickelson and Sergio Garcia.

Now with the headliner out of the picture, the spotlight is open.

Steve Stricker ascended to No. 2 by winning in Los Angeles — his fourth victory since last spring — but the unassuming Wisconsin native lacks flash. Mickelson ended 2009 with wins at the Tour Championship and in China but is slow out of the 2010 gate.

Former U.S. Open champ Geoff Ogilvy took the opener at Kapalua, but the rest of the winners’ list is fairly nondescript — Ryan Palmer, Bill Haas, Dustin Johnson, Ben Crane, Cameron Beckman. Maybe the name to emerge will come from among the . . .

Young guns: Last month’s WGC Match Play final, crowning Ian Poulter over fellow Englishman Paul Casey, may serve as the day when golf’s new blood finally began to stake out space.

Poulter’s win now has pushed him to No. 5 and Casey to No. 6.

Not far behind are Germany’s

Martin Kaymer (8th) and Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy (9th).

All have yet to turn 30.

It brings to mind a run from 1984-96 when such European stars as Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros and Bernhard Langer combined to claim eight Masters titles and six British Opens.

Tavistock Cup: The grandiose rivalry between Isleworth and Lake Nona isn’t an official Florida swing event, played on a Monday-Tuesday adjacent to the tour’s stop at Bay Hill. This year, though, the inclusion of one name could shove Arnold Palmer’s showcase to the background.

Reports have surfaced — which no one has denied — that Woods will ease into a competitive return by playing the Tavistock. Woods’ camp has stayed mum. Tavistock officials say only that rosters will be set in a week or so.

Testy grooves: New worldwide rules that ban box-shaped grooves haven’t had quite the impact pundits expected on the course. Off the course, though, have been fireworks.

With pre-1990 Ping Eye-2 wedges grandfathered in by a legal settlement, such players as Mickelson, Fred Couples and John Daly have fished those models out of their garages with varying success.

In Los Angeles, Mickelson’s use of a Ping Eye-2 prompted journeyman Scott McCarron to brand the move as cheating.

Mickelson hinted at a slander suit. If anyone wins with the thing, the low buzz could roar back to life.

What will Johnny say?: NBC has weekend coverage of all four events, offering plenty of air time for Johnny Miller’s unfiltered commentary.

It was at Doral in 2004 when Miller described eventual winner Craig Parry’s homemade swing as something that would “make Ben Hogan puke.� Last year, he described a mishit by eventual Honda champion Y.E. Yang as looking like “someone electrocuted him at impact.�

New look, old par: After three years as a par-70 layout, Bay Hill returns to its traditional par-72 for its 32nd visit from the PGA Tour’s top pros.

An extensive revamp by Arnold Palmer and his design team not only upgraded the greens but adjusted tee boxes and relocated bunkers to restore the challenge in an age of 300-yard drives and hard-spinning wedges. “It’s always been a great ballstriker’s course,� Davis Love III said. “I would expect Arnold has made it that much better.�

Sponsor go-round: The Doral stop faces uncertain times after the WGC CA Championship’s final putt.

Software maker CA won’t renew as sponsor and the event may lose World Golf Championships status.

There’s even buzz that the event may disappear.

Tournament chief Eddie Carbone rejects that last item — the Blue Monster has been a Tour mainstay since 1962 — but it’s no secret the South Florida staple has struggled to hold sponsors since Ryder departed in 2000.

For even more fun, add a second fly by tying a 15-inch section of tippet to the bend of the first hook.

Tie the Krappie Killer with red thread on a Mustad No. 10 9671 hook. For the tail, use fluorescent green marabou. Tie down three sets of bead chain eyes, with two mounted on top of the hook and one on the bottom. For the body, use orange or pink (top) and fluorescent-green (bottom) chenille.

In these late days of winter, take care on early springlike trail conditions Bulletin staff report Snow and rain are in the forecast, with area trails expected to receive anywhere from 1 to 6 inches of new snow, depending on elevation, says Chris Sabo, trails specialist for Deschutes National Forest.

Trail conditions also vary according to elevation, Sabo says. Generally speaking, trail users in Deschutes National Forest can expect springlike conditions, possibly icy in the morning and soft in the afternoon.

Lower elevation sno-parks such as Six Mile and Skyliner, are in unusable to marginal shape. However, there are reports of good conditions above Crescent Lake with good access from Crescent Lake Sno-park.

Finding my (nordic) center Bachelor’s trails good place to relearn cross-country skiing

By Alandra Johnson • The Bulletin

If you go What: Cross-country skiing at the groomed trails at Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center Getting there: Drive up Century Drive to Mount Bachelor, turn at signs for the West Village and park on the right-hand side of the lot. The Nordic Center is across the parking lot from the mountain.

Cost: Weekend trail passes cost $17 adults, $10 ages 6-12, $10 ages 6569, free ages 70 and older and ages 5 and younger; trail passes for PM hours are $14 adult, $7 ages 6-12 and 60-65.

Contact: www.mt bachelor.com or 541-693-0909.

The groomed trails at Mt. Bachelor made relearning to cross-country ski a lot easier. The area features more than 50 kilometers of trails.

y husband, Robin, and I learned how to cross-country

M

ski a little more than a year ago. Despite the numerous falls we experienced on our first outing, we loved the

experience and pledged to ski, ski, ski away the winter.

We sure talked a lot about skiing but managed to let an entire year pass without venturing back onto skis.

That changed last Saturday when we (finally!) hit the trails again.

Because we are still so new at this, we decided to hit up the groomed trails at Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center. And we also brought along an experienced friend — fellow Bulletin reporter Kate Ramsayer — to remind us of all the tricks and techniques we had managed to forget in the past year.

Skiers and snowshoers can use the common corridor that begins at the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center to reach trails on federal lands for free. But a pass allows users access to a series of groomed trails. We arrived at the Nordic Center around 1:30 p.m. and bought half-day passes from the office.

From the center, we walked a few paces to a relatively flat spot before putting on our rented skis. Almost immediately after clipping in our boots and standing up, we were both yelping, “Whoa!

Whoa!” and landing on our backs. Turns out, as an added bonus for us newbies, the snow was extra slippery that day.

Once we were finally righted, our party headed to the easy green trails off to the right of the main path. It took us awhile to adjust to skis again. The biggest lesson we had to relearn was a matter of trust. As soon as either of us started to pick up any speed, we freaked out and purposefully crashed to avoid going too fast.

Opening doors for women can open a can of worms Dear Abby: I sympathize with “Stumped for an Answer” (Dec. 22), the man who was speechless when a woman objected to his opening the door for her. Haven’t we all experienced “moments after,” wishing we’d found the right words at the right time?

My son — a high school sophomore — had a timely response in a similar circumstance. We had stopped at a grocery store for a couple of items and were walking toward the exit. Just ahead was a woman carrying three large bags. My son stepped up to open the door for her, and in a strident voice she said, “Listen, Sonny, I can handle the door myself!”

My boy answered with a polite smile and a pleasant tone of voice: “I’m sorry. I’ll excuse your rudeness if you’ll forgive my courtesy.”

— Proud Mom in Ruidoso, N.M. Dear Proud Mom: At times these days it can seem that manners are an endangered species.

My office was flooded with mail from readers eager to “politely” share their thoughts. Read on: Dear Abby: I am tired of people not using good manners or even recognizing what good manners are. Personally, it makes my day when someone holds the door for me. I usually offer thanks and a smile. (By the way, “please” and “thank you” also seem sadly lacking these days.)

I feel sorry for that unappreciative woman because she must lead a bitter life. Please let the guy know there are others out there who appreciate good manners and please don’t let one rotten apple spoil the barrel.

— Tired of the Mannerless Dear Abby: Here’s what he should have said: “I was taught that it is respectful to open a door for a lady. I apologize for having misjudged you.”

— Another Lady in Sedona, Ariz.

Dear Abby: My guess is the

DEAR ABBY woman was having a bad day and the man was a convenient target.

I also prefer that doors not be held open for me. I have fibromyalgia, which is usually only apparent if I have my cane. I usually open doors by leaning my back into them. That’s what works best for me. People’s attempts to “help” me have caused me to fall or the door to slam back on me.

I understand most folks are trying to be kind, but because some of them are clueless, my suggestion is to first ASK someone if you can hold the door for her or him. If the answer is no, please respect it.

— Not Ungrateful in Colorado Dear Abby: I am an independent woman and I don’t like men to open doors for me. It makes me feel inferior. When I run across a guy who insists on doing it, I allow him to. But then I rush to open the next one for him. Usually I get a chuckle when he reluctantly goes through.

— Do-it-myself, Fostoria, Ohio Dear Abby: My reply would have been, “Common courtesy knows no gender.”

— Ron in Washington, D.C. Dear Abby: To a woman who once yelled at him for opening a door for her, my husband responded: “It’s not because you’re a woman. It’s because of your AGE.” It left her speechless.

— Gretchen in Fairbanks Dear Abby: When it happened to me, I smiled at the woman and said: “I didn’t open the door for you because you’re a lady. I opened it for you because I’m a gentleman.”

It got my point across.

— Don in Alameda, Calif.

Ebert shares ‘voice’ with Oprah, fans

By Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune

Four years ago, one of the most famous voices in the entertainment industry was silenced. On Tuesday’s “Oprah Winfrey Show,” film critic Roger Ebert’s voice was finally heard again.

A high-tech program created by Scottish company CereProc used Ebert’s DVD commentaries to create a synthetic version of his voice, which Ebert used for the first time on “Oprah” to “talk” via his computer.

Ebert, 68, has been battling cancer for eight years, and for the last few years, he hasn’t been able to eat, drink or speak.

But he certainly hasn’t lost the ability to communicate — far from it. Via his blog, Twitter and his prodigious review output for the Chicago Sun-Times, he has once again proved himself to be one of the most productive critics around. He’s also one of the most beloved; when he walked out on Winfrey’s stage, he got a standing ovation.

For the Tuesday interview, Ebert and his wife, Chaz, joined Winfrey in her Chicago studio, but the part of the interview in which he unveiled his new voice was shot in the couple’s Chicago town house.

“It still needs improvement, but at least it sounds like me,” Ebert’s computer said when it “spoke.” “In first grade, they said I talked too much. And now I still can.”

As Ebert “talked” for the first time since July 1, 2006 (the date of the surgery that destroyed his ability to speak), Chaz wiped away tears.

“I actually think it’s incredible; it’s incredible that that’s

Film critic Roger Ebert debuted his new “voice” on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show Tuesday. Thanks to a hightech program, Ebert can “talk” via his computer. your voice,” Chaz said. “Roger, what do you think?”

“Uncanny. A good feeling,” he answered.

The new voice did sound a lot like the Ebert that TV audiences heard on his many movie review programs, including the various incarnations of the show he hosted with the late Chicago Tribune critic Gene Siskel. However, for much of the “Oprah” interview, Ebert used a more standard computer voice, which sounded a bit like Hal from “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

Ebert said he couldn’t recall his last words.

“I probably spoke them to Chaz as they wheeled me out to the operating room,” he said.

“They were probably, ‘I love you.’

At least I hope those were my last words. On the other hand, they may have been, ‘Good morning, doctor.’” He said he often dreamed of frosty root beers shared with his father.

“In my dreams, I’m talking all the time,” he said.

‘Housewives’ of NYC find home on Bravo

By Valerie Kellogg Newsday

Reason to watch: Cat fights!

What it’s about: This is the third and possibly most backbiting season of “The Real Housewives of New York City.” First, ever-popular Jill Zarin and pregnant and inlove Bethenny Frankel are no longer BFFs. Frankel is, in the meantime, so angry at newly divorced Countess LuAnn de Lesseps that she calls the statuesque former model “a dumb drag queen.”

Hot off the boyfriend-beating scandal of last summer, Kelly Killoren Bensimon now has to break the news to her offspring that she’s posing for Playboy. (In fact, all the gals have to explain the decision to undress to their young daughters.) And, speaking of kids, there’s Alex McCord, the parenting author who not only loses her job at Victoria’s Secret but has to endure insults about her sons’ behavior. At least no one called her “cheap,” like the others did of a kinder, sweeter Ramona Singer.

There are two new housewives — Sonja Morgan and Jennifer Gilbert. It’s unclear from the premiere how big a role they will play in all this drama, but chances are it will be significant. None of these women lets another woman leave their sight without a painful dig.

Bottom line: Their time in the limelight obviously has primed these “Real Housewives” to really let it loose on TV.

Court fire delays Lil Wayne’s sentencing NEW YORK — Lil Wayne was ready Tuesday to go to jail, but his court date went up in smoke.

While the rap star was heading to his sentencing after pleading guilty in a 2007 gun case, a fire shut down the courthouse and postponed the already-delayed proceeding.

Lil Wayne H a v i n g braced to start up to a year behind bars, he was unhappy about the postponement, said his lawyer, Stacey Richman.

“Once you make up your mind to do something, you want to do it,” she said.

The sentencing may be rescheduled for Wednesday, though court officials were still scrambling to determine Tuesday afternoon when Manhattan’s

main criminal courthouse could reopen after the smoky basement blaze. It left eight people with minor injuries and forced about 1,000 to flee the building.

The Grammy Award-winning rapper is expected to get a yearlong jail term after pleading guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon. He admitted having a loaded gun on his tour bus when it was stopped after a Manhattan show in July 2007.

Lil Wayne, 27, was initially due to be sentenced and start his term last month, but the date was pushed back so he could have surgery on his gemstone-encrusted teeth.

Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Carter, has been one of the genre’s most prolific, ubiquitous and profitable figures in recent years.

His “Tha Carter III” was the bestselling album of 2008.

His latest album, “Rebirth,” was released last month.

Simpson ‘little bit angry’ with Mayer

Phillips completes treatment for anxiety

CHICAGO — Jessica Simpson says she’s “a little bit angry” with ex-boy f r iend John Mayer for an interview he gave to Playboy magazine in which he called the singer “sexual napalm.”

In quotes provided

by Jessica Harpo Produc- Simpson tions, Simpson says on the We d n e s d ay episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” that she doesn’t want people “to know how I am in bed.” In John Mayer the interview, Mayer talked about Simpson’s sexual ability and said Simpson “is like crack cocaine to me.”

Simpson also told Winfrey that she is “absolutely” comfortable with her weight and that she loves her curves.

NEW YORK — A representative for Chynna Phillips says the singer has checked out of an undisclosed facility where she was treated for anxiety. Phillips entered the facility last month.

Her manager, Lizzie Grubman, says the 42-year-old Phillips successfully completed treatment and left the facility Friday.

Grubman says Phillips“happily returned home” to celebrate her daughter JamieChynna son’s 10th birthPhillips day with family and friends.

Phillips, of the pop group Wilson Phillips, is married to actor William Baldwin.

They have three children.

She is the half-sister of former child actress Mackenzie Phillips, who claimed in a memoir last year that she had a decadelong sexual relationship with their father, pop star John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas.

Trails

access for the first three miles, he reports.

“As always with spring conditions, we ask summer trail users to respect the fragility that freeze/thaw conditions create this time of year and avoid using trails that are very soft to muddy,” Sabo says.

Early-season use on trails with soft and muddy tread surfaces cause erosion and other resource damage that are very difficult to repair.

“Your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated and will be worth it with trails in better condition in the dryer months,” Sabo says.

Summer trail clearing has yet to begin and won’t hit its stride until late June or early July, he adds, and users can expect to encounter blowdown on any summer trails that are now snow-free.

Continued from E1 Sledding conditions at Wanoga Snoplay Area were “icy fast” last weekend, with a high potential for mishap or injury. Sabo urges extra caution when sledding conditions are fast. “Start your run lower on the slope or avoid the slope until speeds and conditions moderate and become safer with warmer temperatures or new snow,” Sabo says.

Summer trails such as the Deschutes River Trail between the Dillon Falls and Meadow trailheads are in fair to good condition, Sabo reports. Expect some muddy sections downstream of Benham West trailhead; upstream of Benham West is mostly icy and snow covered. Phil’s Trailhead has been very busy on recent weekends, with good trail

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, March 4, 2010: Use your strong intellect and high creativity, and this year could be quite special. Last January, you entered a new positive luck cycle marked by a willingness to grow and evolve. Your goals could change as situations change. Revisit your desires several times this year.

Don’t be surprised if they change, and even if your circle of friends changes. If you are single, someone quite enticing could mosey into your life. This person could be Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, plan a trip or perhaps take a special course together. The bond between you cements even more. SCORPIO helps you see another perspective.

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 Make adjustments, as others who rule the roost have very different ideas from you.

Don’t fight city hall. Your intuition comes through when dealing with financial and partnership matters.

Stay centered, despite crosswinds.

You will make an excellent decision. Tonight: Dinner for two.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Getting together with others seems like a natural pleasure.

Business does filter through in some cases. A meeting could be vital to deciding which fork in the road to take. Take in a different view. You might be surprised by how your perspective changes. Tonight: Defer to another’s suggestion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH How you see a situation and the choices you make could change during the day. New information comes forward. Many people look up to you; be aware that you are a role model. You might be uncomfortable with the admiration. Tonight: Clear your desk.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Where others are baffled, you seek solutions.

Others come to you with a lot of information, which you will digest. You seem to understand the headlines, as opposed to the story. Others appreciate your final judgments. Tonight: Why not start the weekend early?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH If you’re inclined to work from home, please do. You might need some time to anchor and rethink recent events. You’ll accomplish a lot more in a calm atmosphere. Do your best to create just that. Give thought to a homebased business. Tonight: Order in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Be open to communication that could come in from out of left field. You’ll gain a deeper understanding and move past a problem. Defer to a partner or several different people who seem energized over a key issue.

Tonight: Hang with a friend or two.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Make decisions directly, keeping your finances in mind.

Clear out as much work as possible. A personal matter or an issue involving property cannot be postponed much longer. Listen to what is shared. Tonight: Your treat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You are all smiles as a child or new friend piques your interest. Enjoy what is happening here. Opportunities come forward when sharing with others; you simply understand more. Let your ingenuity play out more often. Tonight: Still on a roll.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Close your door if you can get more done that way. Listen to your instincts when dealing with a personal goal. Good news on the domestic front could be quite distracting. Focus on what you must do, and only that. Tonight: Take some much-needed quiet time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You naturally hit a home run. Whether in a meeting, on the phone or networking, others respond as you would like. Communication flourishes, and success follows.

Carefully consider an image change, especially if it will work.

Tonight: Where the action is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You are on top of your game. You are processing a lot of information that you might not choose to share yet. Re-evaluate a financial investment or big purchase.

Be smart and make smart decisions.

Tonight: A must appearance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Keep reaching out for more information. Finding an expert or two could be helpful. Some of you might be toying with the idea of learning more in your chosen field. Check out the different available opportunities. Tonight: Go for some exotic cuisine. © 2009 by King Features Syndicate

Outing Continued from E1 In time we learned to trust ourselves more and let ourselves whiz a bit (well, not really, but it felt that way at first).

From the easy trails, we headed back to the main path and turned left onto a series of trails that branch off. We chose to stick to the outer loop E, known as Woody’s Way, which made a 7-kilometer path around the edge of the area. The trail system offered a number of winding and diverse paths, with a total of 56 kilometers of groomed trails.

Each path is quite wide and allows for two-way traffic. We quickly gravitated to two sideby-side grooves. Skiing on this kind of groomed trail helped our learning of curve tremendously.

Once my skis were “locked into” the groomed grooves, I felt more secure and sturdy, which was especially important given the slipand-slide conditions. I felt almost as if I were on a roller coaster and didn’t have to worry so much about remaining upright as I did about my technique. But just as I started to feel a bit sure of myself, I tipped over.

Maybe I was a bit over-confident, but the groomed trails definitely made our beginning ski outing much, much easier.

The trail itself was lovely and quiet. And despite our being out on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, we saw relatively few people out.

Our trail headed steadily

The groomed trail at Mt. Bachelor featured several charming benches created from old chairlifts.

We are narrowing the field to the Top Twelve Pet Pals in Central Oregon.

The top three pets will win fabulous prizes from these local businesses!

There were fun up and down slopes and plenty of easy curves. And the scenery was idyllic as the trail cut through a large forested area, with peek-a-boo glimpses of Broken Top and South Sister as well as Mount Bachelor.

Throughout the path, we found a few benches charmingly made from old converted chairlifts.

As the afternoon grew later, the snow melted a bit. I blame these conditions for my inability to stand still. Every time we stopped — to take a picture, drink water, snack on Girl Scout cookies or just catch our breath — I found myself unexpectedly looking up at the sky while floundering on my back. After the first 30 minutes, I felt fairly secure while skiing, but the ability to stand

still continued to evade me.

As our loop began to, well, loop back toward the beginning, the trail began to ascend. The path continued to weave and offered several flat spots in addition to the uphills. But in general, it was up, up, up. Going up was taxing, in part because my imperfect technique meant I was always fighting my skis to keep them from slipping back down the hill. I did remember to keep my ski poles behind me to give me a bit of leverage.

By the time we finished our loop, our bodies felt tired, but our spirits were still a little hungry for more. Maybe this time we won’t wait another year to get back out there.

Cochlear implants are used to provide hearing to those who do not benefit from hearing aids. The implants rely on an external processor to capture and convert sound into electrical signals.

on Nachtwey’s family began complaining about his hearing about 12 years ago. After accepting he had a hearing problem, Nachtwey steadily went through stronger and stronger hearing aids but his hearing kept getting worse and worse. Eventually his audiologist told him there was nothing more he could do for him; there weren’t any hearing aids powerful enough to help him hear.

Then at a hearing loss seminar in Salem, Nachtwey attended a presentation about cochlear implants, a surgically implanted device with an external processor that turns sounds into electrical signals. Dr. Sean McMenomy from Oregon Health & Science University urged the audience members who thought they might benefit from an implant to go through the free testing process. Nachtwey had been told numerous times his hearing wasn’t bad enough to qualify for a cochlear implant but went to get tested anyway.

“I flunked the test miserably,” the 76-year-old Bend resident said gleefully. “For the first time in my life, I was happy to flunk!”

He underwent surgery to have the device implanted and two weeks later, on Nov. 29, 2006, an audiologist at OHSU connected his implant to a processor and Nachtwey could hear again.

WORKING OUT CAN BE HARD TO DO

Add some fun diversions to your treadmill exercise

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

A few weeks ago, I told my colleagues here at The Bulletin that I thought we should do an article on making a treadmill workout more fun.

They looked at me with shocked faces, as if I had just said we should write about how to blow up buildings.

FITN “Fun?” someone asked. “How about making it tolerable?”

Sigh. In a way, it’s true. Running or walking in the same place for a half hour or more isn’t exactly thrilling. But that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Here are some tips to make your treadmill workout more fun, er, tolerable.

Use distractions wisely One of the most popular strategies is to put a magazine or book in front of you to read your way through a workout. Others watch televi-

sion or listen to music to keep their minds off the tenths-of-a-mile slowly ticking by.

Using these popular distractions is a good strategy, said Jenny Anderson, director of fitness operations at the Athletic Club of Bend. For those with especially strong motivational challenges, she suggestE S S ed buying a magazine you don’t often read or recording a show you’ve been excited to watch and letting that be your treat at the gym.

Music is a better distraction than reading or television, however, Anderson said. She said studies have shown that distractions with a visual component take your mind off your workout so much that it may make it less effective. “Reading or watching TV tends to make you not as aware,” she said. “Your body just works better when you are paying attention to what you are doing.”

Beans are a well-known source of protein and fiber.

Some studies show vitamin D may improve health of heart

By Nancy Churnin The Dallas Morning News

Is vitamin D the next big thing in heart health?

“I’m cautiously optimistic,” says Dr. Amit Khera, Director of the Preventive Cardiology Program at University of TexasSouthwestern Medical Center and chairman of the American Heart Association’s State Advocacy Committee. Some studies indicate that people with higher levels of vitamin D have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke, along with fewer risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

Now that could mean that vitamin D is just “keeping company” with other factors that lead to healthier hearts, Khera notes.

But it makes sense biologically to him because the liners to the arteries have vitamin D receptors.

“It may be interacting with the arteries to make them healthy. I do think it’s quite plausible that normalizing vitamin D may help lower heart disease risk. The evidence is not definitive, but it is pretty suggestive.”

Khera says he hesitates to jump to conclusions after feeling “burned” with previous promises of vitamin E and hormone replacement therapy.

About 25 to 50 percent of the population has some degree of vitamin D deficiency, he says. He

recommends speaking to your physician about whether you need to take vitamin D and the appropriate dose depending on your blood levels, age, and risks.

Although there are generally few side effects, he cautions that very large amounts can lead to excessive calcium levels, which could result in kidney stones, confusion, and lead to various aches and pains.

Vitamin D is produced through the skin by exposure to sunlight.

With people spending less time in the sun and using sunscreens when they are outside, they need to get more of their vitamin D through supplements or a diet of fatty fish, eggs and fortified milk, he says.

In addition, obesity can lower vitamin D levels, with fat tissue preventing the vitamin from circulating in the blood.

“I think we have to be a little cautious about overdoing it,” he says. “It’s not some miracle. But the cost is minimal and there’s not a lot of toxicity. And if the evidence continues to accumulate that vitamin D plays a role in heart health, we may become more aggressive about prescribing it to our patients.”

A chocolate pill for your ills?

By Sandi Doughton

Most beans have between 15 and 20 grams per cup of which nutrient? a) protein b) fat c) sugars

Next week

TH AL OOK N. E H E B UR T DA L R E T s e s , L as 6.

WI For cl age F

SEATTLE — If the healthful benefits of broccoli could be distilled into a pill, veggie haters worldwide would rejoice.

But who would choose to get their chocolate fix by gulping a tablet?

The rush to cash in on chocolate’s apparent ability to lower blood pressure, improve circulation and maybe even fight diabetes is threatening to take the fun out of indulgence. Products like purified cacao capsules are already on the market. A Texas company filed a patent last year on chocolate bars bulked up with fiber.

Not exactly the kind of thing to make a girl swoon on Valentine’s Day. Brace yourself for more of the same as manufacturers push to turn chocolate into what a recent trade article called “a suitable vehicle for functional confectionary.”

One small Seattle chocolate company hopes to subvert that trend.

In a former brewery in Fremont, Wash., Andy McShea of Theo Chocolate is trying to tease out the molecular basis of scrumptiousness. In the short term, the former pharmaceutical-industry biochemist is using scientific insight to optimize Theo’s artisan approach to chocolate making.

In the long term, he’s aiming for the same goal as the candy industry’s biggest players: a way to maximize chocolate’s health benefits while minimizing its baggage of fat and calories.

But if it isn’t delicious too, what’s the point?, asks McShea, Theo’s sole scientist and chief operating officer. “The hair-shirt approach doesn’t work.”

Consumers were not enamored of Cocoa Via, one of the first health-themed chocolate products. The granola-type bar from candy giant Mars, Inc., was fortified with flavonols, the antioxidants credited with many of chocolate’s health effects. Mars’ newest attempt is a dietary-supplement drink mix billed as a “concentrated source of cocoa flavonols,” and next up is a

fruit-flavored drink fortified with flavonols from cocoa.

The company is so convinced of chocolate’s biomedical potential it created a new division to develop and patent foods and possibly drugs based on cocoa and its components. Mars is even helping sequence the genome of Theobroma cacao, the species that is the source of so much delight — and Theo Chocolate’s namesake.

“We see a lot of potential,” said Mars spokesman Hugo Perez, who estimates the company has spent tens of millions of dollars on cocoa research.

If McShea is fazed by the competition’s scientific firepower, he doesn’t show it.

“We’re going to do things better,” said the cocky Brit, who studied at Harvard and also worked at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

The tough talk comes from a 4-year-old company, with about 50 employees. But Theo’s organic, fair-trade products, like dark chocolate with dried cherries and almonds, have earned raves in publications from Time Out New York to O Magazine.

Theo says it’s the only Northwest company that manufactures chocolates from beans to finished product.

An artisan operation has advantages over megacompanies when it comes to producing a healthful product, McShea says.

Industrial processing can destroy flavonols and other key compounds. McShea says his lab analyses of popular chocolate brands show mass-produced candy doesn’t have as complex a flavor profile as artisan chocolate.

The main stumbling block to a yummy chocolate health food is the fact that flavonols are bitter, McShea said. Chocolate stripped of sugar has a mouth-puckering quality. Chocolate that skimps on cocoa butter is chalky.

“We’re working hard to figure out a way to separate the health effects from the calories and retain the flavor,” McShea said.

“Nobody has been able to do that yet.”

His chemical analyses, which are helping to reveal what makes chocolate taste, feel and smell good, are a step in that direction. But the goal isn’t to engineer chocolate into something else, McShea said. It’s to find

If you must Adam Drewnowski, director of the UW Center for Obesity Research, endorses the value of whole, healthful foods, and considers good chocolate among them. While chocoholics await the supercharged confections of tomorrow, he says it’s possible to maximize health benefits today by eating only premium dark chocolate, in small quantities.

“Do not accept inferior imitations,” said Drewnowski, who nibbles from a fine French chocolate bar every day. “If you’re just grabbing bags of Hershey Kisses on the way to work, you’re not doing yourself any favors.”

Thinkstock

that magic mix of tree, bean and roasting method that will lead to the prize.

To get there, McShea will need to make the most of every advantage he has.

His Super Secret Chocolate Laboratory is the size of a bedroom. He turns to researchers at the University of Washington and their million-dollar machines to help him bore into chocolate at the nano-level.

McShea also acts as his own guinea pig. He says he logged a 20 percent drop in blood pressure after dosing himself with pure chocolate extract. He selfmedicated a back strain by eating cocoa nibs, and claims the anti-inflammatory effects sped his recovery.

Don’t try this at home — and don’t take McShea’s high jinks as proof. But reputable research does appear to validate many of the medicinal effects first noted by the Maya and Aztecs.

More than 200 clinical studies have shown eating small amounts of dark chocolate can lower blood pressure, improve circulation, reduce levels of bad cholesterol and

increase sensitivity to insulin, a marker of diabetes resistance.

Most of the studies are small, though, and most were paid for by candy makers.

“The evidence is not conclusive,” said Jeffrey Blumberg, director of the Antioxidants Research Laboratory at Tufts University. The research has largely focused on indicators of health like blood pressure, rather than actual heart disease, Blumberg pointed out.

“I think it’s critically important to remember, no matter how you cut it, chocolate is still not a health food.”

Winter blues are no laughing matter Traits are signs of depression, workers say, and deserve more consideration

PROCEDURE

Chicago Tribune

Gloomy feelings Most people experience gloominess in winter, but as many as 10 percent of Chicago-area residents have enough psychological and biological symptoms to be diagnosed with SAD, according to Michael Young, an associate professor at the Institute of Psychology at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago ruled in October that a teacher could move forward with a lawsuit against her former employer alleging that the school district failed to accommodate her SAD when it refused to give her a classroom with natural light, causing her mental health to deteriorate.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission had determined two years earlier that Simonsis’ previous employer, Advocate Medical Group, had discriminated against her when it failed to accommodate her depression and dismissed her, records show.

Study: Obese boys more likely to start puberty late

By Melissa Healy Brian Cassella / Chicago Tribune

Jennifer Simonsis, who suffers from seasonal affective disorder, keeps a light-therapy lamp on her desk at Alexian Brothers Medical Group in Palatine, Ill. “Some people brush you off, saying you’re just in a bad mood this time of year,” she said. “But it’s a real disability, and employers need to realize that.” disorder is rare, but it’s protected under disability law,” said Chicago attorney Gerald Maatman Jr., who represents employers in workplace disputes, including one involving Seasonal Affective Disorder. “The law protects a wide range of conditions, not just physical disabilities like heart attacks and carpal tunnel.”

When Employment Law Today, a publication put out by the Alexander Hamilton Institute, ran an article about the recent appeals court ruling, describing symptoms of seasonal affective disorder and explaining that accommodations may be necessary, editor Gloria Ju said she was dismayed to receive an e-mail from a manager brushing it off.

“She scoffed about seasonal affective disorder, saying that everyone feels down in the winter,” Ju said. “But it’s important to get out there that seasonal affective disorder and other forms of depression are not made up, and need to be taken seriously.”

The depression is often triggered around October and lifts in March. Fatigue, declining sexual interest and weight gain are other common symptoms. Treatment includes antidepressants, therapy and exposure to intense lamps that simulate natural light.

“Whenever we start closing up the pool at the end of the summer, I know everything is about to go downhill,” said Greg Giuliani, 48, of Chicago, who takes antidepressants to counter the despair that grips him this time of year.

Dr. Angelos Halaris, chairman of the psychiatry department at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Ill., tells patients with seasonal affective disorder to consider the conditions of their jobs.

“I tell them to try to find offices

that are well-lit, and to be near windows so that they are exposed to natural light,” Halaris said. “I make myself available to their employers, so they know this is not just someone making an excuse for a better office.”

No one tracks how many people seek workplace accommodations for SAD or any other types of disability. The number of discrimination complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission related to anxiety, depression and other psychiatric disorders nearly doubled between 2005 and 2009.

Last year, 3,837 such complaints were filed nationwide.

When on the job For employees to be entitled to workplace accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, they must prove their disability substantially impairs their life and that the accommodation does not cause an undue hardship on the employer.

It’s a case-by-case determination. Some Midwesterners who suffer from SAD say their treatment and the nature of their jobs allow them to work without problems. Giuiliani, for example, enjoys his night patrol duty in law enforcement and spends time off absorbing as much daylight as possible.

Others encounter greater difficulties. Renae Ekstrand, who brought the lawsuit against the Somerset School District in Wisconsin, said her teaching went smoothly for years until she was placed in a basement classroom with no windows in the fall of 2005.

She explained to the administration that she suffered from seasonal affective disorder, and that her depression would be

Prices at St. Charles Bend For common procedures at St. Charles Bend, the change in the average amount paid by insurance companies and their beneficiaries was uneven between 2007 and 2008. For some procedures, it has dropped, though other procedures have risen dramatically.

By Megan Twohey CHICAGO — Since she was hired two years ago as a suburban medical assistant, Jennifer Simonsis has come to an agreement with her employer: During the winter, she is given time off to see her doctor, frequent breaks, and help in setting up a light-therapy lamp at her desk.

Joining a controversial trend, Simonsis sought workplace accommodations for seasonal affective disorder, or SAD — depression triggered by limited daylight in winter.

Pointing to a federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against the disabled, some SAD sufferers say they are entitled to schedule changes, access to windows and other modifications. Recent legal rulings are prompting human resources experts to warn about the need to take the depression seriously.

“Some people brush you off, saying you’re just in a bad mood this time of year,” said Simonsis, 36, of Mount Prospect, Ill., who received her accommodations from Alexian Brothers Medical Group in Palatine, Ill. “But it’s a real disability, and employers need to realize that.”

VITAL STATS

idea on 500 adult patients at four primary-care clinics in Chicago and Shreveport, La. The team revised nine familiar pill-bottle warning labels, simplifying the language and typeface. To some of these labels they added icons.

Researchers then showed these bottles to the patients.

The result: 80.3 percent of participants correctly understood the standard warnings; 90.6 percent understood the simplified warnings; and 92.1 percent understood the simplified text when it was accompanied by an icon.

made worse in such conditions.

But the administration dismissed her pleas for a classroom with windows, even when presented with notes from her doctor, according to the appeals court ruling.

Within months, Ekstrand was suicidal. She quit rather than endure the basement classroom.

The Somerset School District, which had tried to get her lawsuit dismissed, declined to comment on the case, which is headed back to federal court in Madison.

Ekstrand, 49, who now teaches early childhood education at South Dakota State University, said she was heartened by the appeals court decision and is determined to see the lawsuit through.

“It’s been very stressful for me and my family,” she said. “But it’s important for people to see seasonal affective disorder for what it is. And for school districts and other employers to know that they have to take all types of disabilities seriously.”

Advocate Medical Group said in a statement that it complied with a settlement struck with Simonsis and the EEOC and that it was committed to maintaining a workplace that supports workers’ individual needs. It said that it was unaware her depression had a seasonal component.

Simonsis said her new employer was quick to accommodate her depression.

Her boss, Laura Jakubowski, a site manager for Alexian Brothers Medical Group, said doing so made sense.

“I can staff around her when she needs to leave for doctor’s appointments or to take short breaks on really difficult days,” Jakubowski said. “The better her mental health, the better it is for our business.”

While obesity has been shown to bring on puberty earlier in girls, a new study finds the opposite trend for overweight boys: Male children whose body-mass index (BMI) is consistently highest through early and mid-childhood are significantly more likely than thinner boys to have delayed puberty.

In a study published recently in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, researchers at 10 study sites across the country tracked the height and weight growth of 401 boys born in 1991, and gauged which boys had signs of genital growth indicative of puberty’s onset by the time they had

reached 11½. Among the roughly 28 percent of boys whose weight was consistently highest, 14 percent appeared not to have begun pubertal changes at 11½ — a rate nearly twice as high as that seen among the slimmest group of boys (only 7.7 percent of whom had failed to begin puberty at that age). Among the whole group, 12.2 percent were prepubertal at 11½. where fitness gets personal

Fallopian tubes contain a special lining to protect the embryo during the process.

Potential problems: Sometimes tubes become blocked, preventing eggs from making their way to the uterus and preventing fertilization.

In some cases, doctors can clear the tubes. About seven of every 1,000 pregnancies in the U.S. are ectopic pregnancies in which the embryo attaches itself somewhere other than the uterus. Most commonly, ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tubes.

As the egg grows, the tube can burst, requiring surgery. Fallopian tube cancer is the rarest of all gynecologic cancers. Some women undergo tubal ligation to block their fallopian tubes and prevent becoming pregnant.

Location: The fallopian tubes, also known as salpinges, are a pair of thin tubes leading from the ovaries to the uterus. The 3- to 4-inch long tubes are not directly attached to the ovaries but open up into the abdominal cavity, very close to the ovaries.

Function: Without fallopian tubes, an egg cannot become fertilized and an embryo cannot reach the uterus for implantation. When the egg is released from the ovary, the fallopian tube uses a set of finger-like projections to grab hold of the egg. The egg is pushed inside the tube where tiny hairs help to sweep the egg along until it reaches the uterus. Fertilization occurs inside the tube, and the egg becomes an embryo. The tube guides the egg toward the uterus, a process that can take anywhere

Cochlear implant performance

Across the country, thousands of Americans with cochlear implants are hearing for the first time in years or for the first time ever, sounds that most of us take for granted.

And as the technology continues to improve, it’s broadened the potential pool of people who stand to benefit from the devices. Yet many individuals and their doctors aren’t aware of the new guidelines for cochlear implants. And that means many people who could benefit continue to live their lives in silence.

Women in labor now allowed more than ice

By Courtney Perkes

Cochlear implants were approved for marketing in the U.S. in 1985. But early iterations of the device provided only limited benefit, making them useful only for those with complete hearing loss. When the Food and Drug Administration approved the devices, the agency also put in place standards for who stood to benefit from the implants. Patients are tested to see what percentage of a list of sentences they can understand while wearing a hearing aid but without the help of reading lips.

“Previously, the best a patient would expect was perhaps 12 percent sentence recognition performance with an implant. Therefore, the prerequisite was zero percent sentence recognition,” Steven Huart, an audiologist with implant manufacturer Cochlear Americas, explained in a physician education article for the Web site AudiologyOnline .com. “Now that the mean performance on clinical trials has improved to 90 percent openset sentence recognition scores in quiet, those who only get 60 percent or less with hearing aids can consider cochlear implants a viable option.”

Meanwhile, insurance companies have improved their coverage for implants, making them more affordable for the insured. According to OHSU materials, the cost of an im-

Cochlear implants can help individual with profound hearing loss recognize spoken words. Over the years, the implant technology has improved, resulting in better speech recognition scores. The scores are calculated using a sentence test developed by City University of New York. The tester reads a list of 12 sentences, containing a total of 102 words. It is scored for the total number of words correctly identified by the test subject.

WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT COCHLEAR IMPLANTS? Cochlear Americas, the manufacturer of the Nucleus 5 cochlear implant, is holding a free informational meeting about the devices from 9:30 a.m. to noon Tuesday at St. Charles Bend, conference room B. RSVP to 800-805-3532, option 2, ext. 848, or www.regonline.com/connect. plant, the surgery and follow-up in the first year totals $40,000.

Almost all private insurers cover the technology. In 2005, Medicare lowered its threshold for coverage to those individuals who could understand no more than 50 percent in sentence recognition tests in the ear to be implanted and no more than 60 percent in the other ear.

That opened the door for many seniors to qualify for the device.

Coverage still requires that patients try a hearing aid first. If a hearing aid works — and hearing aid technology also continues to improve — it’s not worth going through a surgery. And sound quality with an implant could be worse than with a hearing aid for some people. Since cochlear implants destroy any vestiges of normal hearing in the ear, doctors won’t operate if a person can get good results from a hearing aid. Once the device is implanted, hearing aids will no longer work.

Inner workings The implants work differently than hearing aids as well. A hearing aid simply amplifies sound, relying on the remnants of a person’s normal hearing to pick up vibrations in the air and convert them into electrical signals that the brain recognizes as sound. A cochlear implant relies on the external processor to convert sound waves into electrical signals. The electrical signals are then decod-

ed by the electrodes implanted inside the ear and passed on to the auditory nerve.

“Most often, people will lose their hearing in the higher frequencies. If those portions of the auditory nerve have not been stimulated for five, 10, 20 or more years, and we start stimulating that, that’s going to be pretty sensitive,” said Don Plapinger, chief audiologist at OHSU. “So what we have to do is regulate not only how much current is being sent to the auditory nerve but where that current is being sent.”

After implantation, the patient usually waits 2 to 6 weeks to heal completely and then the processor is connected and turned on. Over the next month, the audiologists work to refine the processor’s programming to improve hearing.

“It takes a while to build up a good program,” he said. “People will describe speech as sounding like the Munchkins from ‘The Wizard of Oz’ or Donald Duck, or ‘Why does everybody sound like a female?’”

Over time, however, as the program improves and the brain adapts, speech sounds more normal. Lois Johnson, president of the Bend chapter of the Hearing Loss Association, was first tested for an implant in 1990 but didn’t qualify. By 2002, as her hearing worsened and the technology improved, she met the threshold.

“I could hear immediately,” Johnson said. “The sound was like

Donald Duck talking underwater, but I could understand speech and could hear the letter S for the first time in 30 years.”

Over the next few weeks, she worked to train her brain to the new input. She had someone read to her facing away from her, and then she would repeat the words she heard.

“The best way for me was getting an audio book from the library and reading the printed book at the same time,” she said.

“That way, the brain associates the words with the sounds. I read three books this way. The sound normalizes over a few weeks and the Donald Duck sound goes away.”

Five weeks after receiving her implant, she scored 100 percent on the sentence recognition test in a quiet room, and missed only three words in a room with background noise. She has now upgraded her processor for the third time, further improving her hearing.

“I can listen to oldies and pick out what the actual words are in a large percentage of the songs,” she said.

Incomplete solution Plapinger said many people who have lost their hearing find that music just doesn’t sound the same with the implants.

“Music is one of the things that really suffers,” he said. “People with cochlear implants can’t tell the difference between the trumpet and the trombone.”

Plapinger explained that normal hearing relies on 25,000 to 30,000 hair cells in the cochlea while the implant has from 12 to 22 electrodes.

“You’re asking 22 electrodes to do the same thing as 25,000 hair cells,” he said. “So you don’t get the same specificity you get with normal hearing.”

But Plapinger said that young children who have been deaf all their lives and never heard music, don’t have a frame of reference for what they’re hearing.

“For them, music sounds the way they think it’s supposed to sound,” he said.

According to Plapinger, OHSU does more than 100 cochlear implants a year, about 60 percent in adults and 40 percent in children.

The implants have been controversial in the deaf community.

Some believe the implants to be a threat to the deaf culture. Many have complained that the implants have been promoted as a way to “fix a problem,” and many deaf individuals do not feel they need to be “fixed.”

LOOKING FOR A DENTAL HOME?

The Orange County Register

SANTA ANA, Calif. — James and Mary were the most popular baby names in the 1940s when hospitals began forbidding laboring mothers to eat or drink in case they needed an emergency Caesarean section.

But like trends in names, much has changed in anesthesia techniques since then, and more hospitals are loosening their restrictions.

A medical review of five studies of 3,130 pregnant women published last month recommended allowing low-risk patients to eat and drink as they wish. The review noted that most C-sections are no longer done with general anesthesia and “poor nutritional balance” may be associated with longer, more painful labors.

Debbie Ward of Tustin, Calif., remembers her parched mouth, along with the pain of labor, when she delivered her first two babies. Nurses offered her nothing more than ice chips, the standard practice for roughly the past 70 years because of concern of aspiration if the mother had to be put under.

“Ice chips can only do so much,” Ward recalled.

Ward, a history teacher, gave birth to her third child four months ago, again at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, Calif. This time, her nurse, Caroline Price, served her water and juices, holding the straw to her mouth when she couldn’t lift her head off the pillow.

The cool liquids refreshed her, boosted her energy and settled her nausea.

“It just kind of helps ease everything,” said Ward, 36. “It was a source of comfort. It made the whole situation not so medical.”

Some hospitals are allowing pregnant women to drink different types of fluids during labor. than a year ago in reversing a long-standing ban on drinking during labor. She presented research to the hospital’s anesthesia committee, which then changed the rules.

Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in Laguna Hills, Calif., gives patients drinks, plus Jell-O and Italian ice. Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, Calif., which offers women in labor a Popsicle once an hour, likely will begin allowing liquids this month.

“One of the things that had always bugged me is that we just relegate these women to ice chips and some of them are in labor for 24 or 36 hours,” Price said. “I still get complaints about them being hungry and wanting to eat food, but you can pacify them a lot if they can have liquids.”

In August, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists changed its recommendation that women only consume ice chips. The group advised that women with normal, uncomplicated labors be allowed to drink modest amounts of clear liquids, including juice and sports drinks.

Dr. Edward Clark, Dr. Andy Himsworth and their team would like to sincerely thank their patients, friends and the Central Oregon Community for the opportunity to serve their dental needs for the last 14 years.

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, March 4, 2010 F5

M From previous page In many ways, children are better candidates for the implants.

Studies show one of the factors influencing the quality of sound is how long an individual has gone without hearing.

“You have young kids who are getting this implant, their brain is growing and you’ve got these strong neural pathways,” said Cory Richards, an audiologist with Central Oregon Ear, Nose & Throat. “If you can get to them early, they’re going to do better than someone who is basically deaf for 30 to 40 years.”

Richards, who did a rotation with the OHSU cochlear implant clinic and worked with implant patients in Spokane, Wash., before coming to Bend, said he’s seen profound changes in kids who receive implants. Children who couldn’t hear unless the volume was up at 90 to 100 decibels — about as loud as a snowmobile — could hear at decibels of 25, slightly louder than a whisper, with the implants.

“It’s pretty phenomenal technology,” he said.

Patients interested in implants generally start with a hearing test at an ear, nose and throat practice. But Richards said patients need to be realistic in their expectations. It’s not a cure for deafness nor is it the best solution for every individual. Even people who meet the medical criteria for an implant wind up with a broad range of possible outcomes.

“It’s about as wide as it can be,” Plapinger said. “Unfortunately, we have some people who get an implant and barely have speech recognition, all the way up to people who can use the phone. It’s really difficult to predict who is going to do well with their implant and who is not.”

It’s one of the reasons why preimplantation testing is so rigorous. Doctors don’t want to eliminate adequate hearing without a virtual guarantee of improvement. But Plapinger said the current standards help ensure that patients will not wind up worse off after the implant.

While the implants have been around since the mid-’80s, nobody knows for sure how long they will last. Some patients find their implants stop working over time and must have the implant removed and replaced with a newer model.

Plapinger said the clinic is not replacing working implants simply because of improvements in technology. But like Johnson, patients can upgrade processors as long as they stay within the same brand.

There are three cochlear implant companies with products approved in the U.S. Plapinger said patients can choose among the three based on personal preference, but the choice will not affect the quality of their hearing.

“The companies would like you to think theirs is better,” he said.

“But we tell our patients that all the devices basically do the same thing, they just do it a little bit differently.”

A better life Many patients, especially children, are now getting an implant in each ear, which helps to refine hearing and has been shown to improve quality of life. Oregon is the only state that prohibits an insurance company from denying a second implant solely on the basis that a patient already has one. Patients can also make use of directional microphones that help them hear a one-on-one conversation in a noisy surrounding, or can plug processors directly into their phones.

It’s provided new hope for many individuals whose hearing loss has affected the way they live.

“People who lose their hearing tend to withdraw from social situations and become depressed because they cannot participate with other people,” Johnson said.

“The implant, or even just a hearing aid, can change that.”

Yet, a survey of cochlear implant recipients found that patients went an average of 12 years after the onset of profound hearing loss before getting an implant. But once patients learned of the implants, most were implanted within a year.

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association estimates there are up to 1 million potential implant candidates in the U.S., yet only about 60,000 have been implanted so far. And studies show that quality of life for both children and adults with cochlear implants is equal to normal-hearing peers.

But he’s also found that people notice the device and ask him about it. He’s explained how it works to people with normal hearing, and has mentored people considering an implant themselves about the potential benefits.

“I can work out in the yard and I can hear the birds again,” Nachtwey said. “ I can walk along the stream and I can hear water running. It’s just everything, my whole quality of life has improved.”

It’s a day-and-night difference from where his life was headed before the implant.

“It was terrible,” he said. “I

couldn’t understand what people were saying. In normal conversation I was answering questions that weren’t asked because I misunderstood what people were saying. At times it was rather hilarious.”

But it stopped being funny when his son wouldn’t let him take care of his three-year old grandson anymore.

“We spent a lot of time around the ocean and my son said, ‘If Dad can’t hear him, I can’t trust him,’” Nachtwey recalled. “It was very hard to take but at the same time, I’m glad it happened because it finally pushed me over the edge. I finally went out and did something.”

With a few more weeks of winter left, many fevers are still likely to hit. Here’s advice from doctors on handling them: Resist panic. A fever is a sign that your immune system is doing its job: fighting an infection.

Consider going without medicine unless your temperature climbs rapidly or you’re very uncomfortable. Many doctors recommend not using a feverreducing medicine until a fever is 102 or higher.

Drink lots of fluids. Dehydration is a greater risk with a fever, especially if you also have

vomiting or diarrhea. Water and herbal teas are good choices, as are ice chips, ginger ale, fruit juices or Popsicles.

Eat if you are hungry. Don’t try to force down food if you don’t feel like it. If you’re not sure, try some soup — you’ll be getting extra fluids to boot.

Follow dosing instructions.

This is especially important with young children. Note that babies younger than 3 months need to see a doctor before they get any medicine, and no children should take aspirin because of the risk of dangerous complications.

Stay as comfortable as pos-

sible. Wear light, loose-fitting clothes — or more layers if you feel chilled — and keep the room cool. Also try a lukewarm bath or sponge off with a cool cloth; avoid cold water because shivering may increase body temperature.

Know when to call a doctor.

General rules are fevers that are 104 degrees or higher, last longer than three days or go away and then return. Also call if you experience trouble breathing, convulsions, confusion, stiff neck or severe vomiting or diarrhea. And always err on the side of caution if you or a child looks or acts very ill.

Don’t follow the sheep to help you sleep

By Anahad O’Connor New York Times News Service

The claim Counting sheep helps you fall asleep.

The facts The reason people count sheep, as opposed to bluebirds or sailboats, is uncertain; some authorities think it may have to do with a tallying system de-

vised by shepherds in ancient Britain. And its meaning is clear enough — the sheer monotony of the task is meant to lull you to sleep.

But does it work? Scientists at Oxford University put it to the test. In their study, which appeared in the journal Behavior Research and Therapy, two sleep researchers recruited insomniacs and split them into groups.

Then they monitored them as they tried different techniques for falling asleep.

What they found was that subjects took slightly longer to fall asleep on nights they were instructed to distract themselves by counting sheep or were given no instructions at all. But when they were told to imagine a relaxing scene — a beach, for example — they fell asleep an average of 20 minutes sooner.

The bottom line Don’t count sheep; instead, try picturing relaxing images.

Children who ride their bikes to school are more physically active and more fit than those who use other means of transportation, according to a new study from England. Researchers timed 6,000 boys and girls in a 20-meter shuttle run and had the children fill out a questionnaire about how they came to school.

Boys who cycled to school were 30 percent more likely to be fit than those who arrived by car or bus. Girls who rode their bikes were 70 percent more likely to be fit than those driven to school.

Bike riders traveled an average

of 1.5 miles while those driven traveled an average of 2 miles.

The study found that walking was the next best at promoting fitness.

Boys who walked to school were 20 percent more likely to be fit than those who arrived by bus or car, and girls who walked were 30 percent more likely to be fit.

“Children need to be active and stay fit in order to stay healthy,” said Christine Voss, one of the lead researchers in the study.

“Encouraging them to walk or cycle to school is one great opportunity to help achieve this.”

Hiking is a cardiovascular exercise that helps raise your heart rate.

How to improve endurance

By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Want to be able to exercise for longer periods of time? Try these tips from trainers: Go gradually. Do a little more each time you exercise. Many trainers recommend increasing the time of your workout first — even if it’s just a minute a day — followed by the intensity. Aim to build to a minimum of 30 minutes of activity a day.

Choose the right activities.

Cardiovascular exercises, which raise heart rate and breathing for an extended period, are the best way to boost endurance (although weights are key to building muscle strength and guarding against injury). Some examples: swimming, biking, hiking, jogging and, at home, raking leaves and mopping floors.

Breathe right. A common rule: You should be too out of breath to sing the chorus of a song or have a lengthy conversation, but not panting so hard that you can’t talk or answer a question.

You also should never feel dizzy or have chest pain.

Embrace cross-training. Mix up your routines constantly; repeating the same workout will ruin plans to build endurance.

Warm up and cool down. Add stretching and a light activity such as slow walking before and after hard workouts to prevent muscle cramps.

Seek out hills. Go hiking or running on a trail that’s not all flat, climb stairs, work out on a stair-stepping machine or set treadmills on an incline.

Drink enough water. As people age, they may not feel thirsty even if they need fluids. Take sips of water throughout a workout, especially if you’re sweating heavily.

Live healthy — and be patient.

Eat nutritious foods, get enough sleep and realize that you may need weeks or even months to reach the endurance level you want.

Treadmill

workout, leading to lower gains with each workout.

Continued from F1 Dave Zimmerman, a personal trainer at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center, agreed. “Their posture just gets so bad when they are reading on the treadmill,” he said. For clients who like books, he suggests a book-on-tape approach, listening on an iPod or other MP3 player.

Still, Anderson said, reading on the treadmill is better than not going at all. So, if a gossip magazine gets you there, by all means bring the magazine.

Play games

Don’t do all your cardio at once Try doing 10 to 15 minutes on one machine, then getting off and doing a couple of strengthening moves. Then get back on, either the treadmill or another cardio machine, and go for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Breaking up your workout is not only less monotonous, it might actually lead to better fitness, said Anderson. “You can get even more benefit out of mixing your workouts up like that.”

When your body gets used to one set workout, with a set pace and a set time, she said, it becomes very efficient at that

One frequent treadmill runner at the Athletic Club of Bend, Anderson said, plays this little trick.

He looks around at the other runners when he first gets on the treadmill and makes it his goal to outlast them. Each one who gets off is another runner beat.

Another member of the club, Anderson said, walks backward for part of the workout because it takes more concentration.

Zimmerman also suggested doing a crossover step, particularly during warm-ups and cool downs. These can help add minutes to the workout without subjecting you to the same monotony.

Vary pace Rather than keeping the same pace for the bulk of the workout, regularly change how fast you go, even as much as every minute, said Ryan Hudson, owner of the Redmond Athletic Club. “The time goes by pretty quickly. You’re watching the clock and just trying to make it for another minute.”

Hudson suggests the following interval workout. Determine your maximum speed, then begin by warming up at half that. Every minute increase your pace a little

bit so that in five minutes you get up to 90 percent of your maximum speed, then come back down minute by minute.

As an example, if 10 mph is your maximum speed, warm up at 5 mph, then begin the workout by running at 6 mph for a minute, then 7, then 8, then 9. Go back down and repeat. At the end, Hudson likes to run at his absolute maximum speed for a minute.

Zimmerman suggested a routine where you walk for a minute, jog for a minute, run for a minute, then repeat for as long as you want. For those that don’t get up to a run, he recommended changing the incline of the treadmill in short intervals to vary the intensity.

Multi-task For people who regularly work out on the treadmill, Zimmerman recommended bringing hand weights with you on the machine. This one is better for those who walk; it’s more difficult for joggers, especially those who go at a good clip.

As you walk, you can work out your arms with overhead presses, bicep curls and tricep extensions, Zimmerman said. It not only helps pass the time, it gets you out of the gym a few minutes faster.

LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, is the Beneficiary (the "Trust Deed"). The aforementioned Trust Deed covers property (the "Property") described as: Tract AE, TETHEROW PHASE 1, filed September 24, 2007, Plat Cabinet H-470, Deschutes County, Oregon.

The tax parcel number is: 260623. The undersigned hereby certifies that she has no knowledge of any assignments of the Trust Deed by the Trustee or by the Beneficiary or any appointments of a Successor Trustee other than the appointment of DENISE J.

Further, the undersigned certifies that no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the Trust Deed. Or, if such action has been instituted, it has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.735(4). The name and address of Successor Trustee are as follows: Denise J. Lukins, Esq., Successor Trustee, Salmon Creek Law Offices, 1412 NE 134th Street, Suite 130, Vancouver, WA 98685. The Trust Deed is not a "Residential Trust Deed", as defined in ORS 86.705(3), thus the requirements of Chapter 19, Section 20, Oregon Laws 2008, and Chapter 864 [S.B. 628], Oregon Laws 2009, do not apply. DEFAULT BY GRANTOR AND ELECTION TO SELL: There are continuing and uncured defaults by the Grantor that, based on the provisions of the Trust Deed, authorize the foreclosure of the Trust Deed and the sale of the Property described above, which uncured and continuing defaults include but are not necessarily limited to the following: 1. Grantor's failure to pay to Beneficiary, when and in the full amounts due, payments as set forth on the Agreement for Letter of Credit dated and effective September 28, 2007, secured by said Deed of Trust. Grantor has failed to pay Beneficiary payments totaling $3,087,345.00 as of December 17, 2009. The full $3,087,345.00 is now due and payable along with all costs and fees associated with this foreclosure. 2. As to the defaults which do not involve payment of money to the Beneficiary of your Deed of Trust, you must cure each such default.

Listed below are the defaults which do not involve payment of money to the Beneficiary of your Deed of Trust. Opposite each such listed default is a brief description of the action necessary to cure the default and a description of the documentation necessary to show that the default has been cured. The list does not exhaust all possible other defaults; any and all defaults identified by Beneficiary or the Successor Trustee that are not listed below must also be cured. Other Default/ Description of Action Required to Cure and Documentation Necessary to Show Cure: Non-Payment of Taxes and/or Assessments/ Deliver to Successor Trustee written proof that all taxes and assessments against the Real Property are paid current; Permitting liens and encumbrances to attach to the Property, including a deed of trust by Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt, P.C.; a deed of trust by First American Title Insurance Company; and a judgment by Hotel Financial Strategies/ Deliver to Successor Trustee written proof that all liens and encumbrances against the Real Property have been satisfied and released from the public record. Notice is hereby given that the Beneficiary, by reason of the uncured and continuing defaults described above, has elected and does hereby elect to foreclose said Trust Deed by advertisement and sale pursuant to ORS 86.735 et seq., and to cause to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, the Grantor's interest in the subject Property, which the Grantor had, or had the power to convey, at the time the Grantor executed the Trust Deed in favor of the Beneficiary, along with any interest the Grantor or the Grantor's successors in interest acquired after the execution of the Trust Deed, to satisfy the obligations secured by the Trust Deed as well as the expenses of the sale, including compensation of the Trustee as provided by law, and the reasonable fees of Trustee's attorneys. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the sale will be held at the hour of 11:00 a.m., in accordance with the standard of time established by ORS 187.110, on Tuesday, May 18, 2010, on the front steps of the main entrance to the Deschutes County Courthouse, 1164 NW Bond Street, Bend, Oregon 97701.

RIGHT OF REINSTATEMENT: Notice is further given that any person named in ORS 86.753 has the right, at any time prior to five (5) days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the Trust Deed satisfied by (A) payment to the Beneficiary of the entire amount then due, other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred, together with the costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the terms of the obligation, as well as Successor Trustee and attorney fees as prescribed by ORS 86.753); and (B) by curing all such other continuing and uncured defaults as noted in this Notice.

More accurately described as: Lot Four (4), Block Four (4), Hunter's Circle, recorded June 30, 1977, in Cabinet B, Page 243, Deschutes County, Oregon.

PROPERTY ADDRESS: 20631 Colt Lane Bend, OR 97701 Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the real property to satisfy the obligations secured by the trust deed and a notice of default has been recorded pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes 86.735(3); the default for which the foreclosure is made is grantor's failure to pay when due the following sums: monthly payments of $1,700.13 beginning 06/01/09; plus late charges of $70.44 each month beginning 06/16/09; plus prior accrued late charges of $0.00; plus advances of $128.41; together with title expense, costs, trustee's fees and attorney's fees incurred herein by reason of said default; any further sums advanced by the beneficiary for the protection of the above described real property and its interest therein; and prepayment penalties/premiums, if applicable. By reason of said default the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, said sums being the following, to wit: $198,409.85 with interest thereon at the rate of 8 percent per annum beginning 05/01/09; plus late charges of $70.44 each month beginning 06/16/09 until paid; plus prior accrued late charges of $0.00; plus advances of $ 128.41; together with title expense, costs, trustee's fees and attorneys fees incurred herein by reason of said default; any further sums advanced by the beneficiary for the protection of the above described real property and its interest therein; and prepayment penalties/premiums, if applicable. WHEREFORE, notice hereby is given that the undersigned trustee will on June 3, 2010 at the hour of 10:00 o'clock, A.M. in accord with the standard of time established by ORS 187.110, at the following place: inside the main lobby of the Deschutes County Courthouse, 1164 NW Bond, in the City of Bend, County of Deschutes, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by grantor of the trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or grantor's successors in interest acquired after the execution of the trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that for reinstatement or payoff quotes requested pursuant to ORS 86.757 and 86.759 must be timely communicated in a written request that complies with that statute addressed to the trustee's "Urgent Request Desk" either by personal delivery to the trustee's physical offices (call for address) or by first class, certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the trustee's post office box address set forth in this notice. Due to potential conflicts with federal law, persons having no record legal or equitable interest in the subject property will only receive information concerning the lender's estimated or actual bid. Lender bid information is also available at the trustee's website, www.northwesttrustee.com. Notice is further given that any person named in ORS 86.753 has the right, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, and in addition to paying said sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default, by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the obligation and trust deed, together with trustee's and attorney's fees not exceeding the amounts provided by said ORS 86.753. Requests from persons named in ORS 86.753 for reinstatement quotes received less than six days prior to the date set for the trustee's sale will be honored only at the discretion of the beneficiary or if required by the terms of the loan documents. In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word "grantor" includes any successor in interest to the grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by said trust deed, and the words "trustee" and "beneficiary" include their respective successors in interest, if any.

GARDNER, as Successor Trustee as recorded in the property records of the county in which the Property described above is situated.

Further, the undersigned certifies that no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the Trust Deed. Or, if such action has been instituted, it has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.735(4). The name and address of Successor Trustee are as follows: Jeffrey C. Gardner, Successor Trustee, c/o Ball Janik LLP, 101 SW Main Street, Suite 1100, Portland, Oregon 97204-3219. The Trust Deed is not a "Residential Trust Deed", as defined in ORS 86.705(3), thus the requirements of Chapter 19, Section 20, Oregon Laws 2008, and Chapter 864 [S.B. 628], Oregon Laws 2009, do not apply. DEFAULT BY GRANTOR AND ELECTION TO SELL: There are continuing and uncured defaults by the Grantor that, based on the provisions of the Trust Deed, authorize the foreclosure of the Trust Deed and the sale of the Property described above, which uncured and continuing defaults include but are not necessarily limited to the following: 1. Grantor's failure to pay to Beneficiary, the full aggregate amount of monthly payments on account of accruing interest due for the period commencing May 2009 and continuing through and including December 2009, a net amount that as of December 22, 2009 totals $105,808.54, and which past-due amount continues to increase from and after December 22, 2009 at the rate of $683.58 per diem, together with Beneficiary's unpaid fees, costs, and expenses (including Beneficiary's unpaid attorneys' fees and costs as allowed under the Trust Deed) as of December 22, 2009 of $12,372.99, resulting in an aggregate arrearage amount as of December 22, 2009 that totals $118,181.53.

The full arrearage amount, $118,181.53 is immediately due and payable to Beneficiary together with additional accruing interest from and after December 23, 2009, plus Beneficiary's additional costs and expenses (together with Beneficiary's additional attorneys' fees and costs and expenses arising on account of this foreclosure process). 2.

Grantor's failure to cure defaults (cross-defaults) under certain loans made by Beneficiary to Angus Acres Limited Partnership. Due to the cross-default provisions of the loan documents including, but not limited to, the Trust Deed, Grantor's uncured defaults related to the Angus Acres Limited Partnership loans constitute an event of default under the Trust Deed. 3. On account of Grantor's continuing and uncured defaults, on November 2, 2009, Beneficiary accelerated all amounts due under the loan secured by the Trust Deed and made demand on Grantor for immediate and unconditional payment to Beneficiary of all amounts due under the loan. Despite Beneficiary's demand, Grantor has failed to pay to Beneficiary the full amount of the indebtedness due under the loan secured by the Trust Deed. TOTAL UNCURED MONETARY (PAYMENT) DEFAULT: By reason of said uncured and continuing defaults, the Beneficiary has accelerated and declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the Trust Deed and the Property immediately due and payable.

Accordingly, the sum owed by Grantor to Beneficiary on the obligation secured by the Trust Deed is $3,105,161.98, as of December 22, 2009, together with interest accruing on the principal portion of that amount, plus additional costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary and/or the Successor Trustee (including their respective attorney's fees, costs, and expenses). Notice is hereby given that the Beneficiary, by reason of the uncured and continuing defaults described above, has elected and does hereby elect to foreclose said Trust Deed by advertisement and sale pursuant to ORS 86.735 et seq., and to cause to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, the Grantor's interest in the subject Property, which the Grantor had, or had the power to convey, at the time the Grantor executed the Trust Deed in favor of the Beneficiary, along with any interest the Grantor or the Grantor's successors in interest acquired after the execution of the Trust Deed, to satisfy the obligations secured by the Trust Deed as well as the expenses of the sale, including compensation of the Trustee as provided by law, and the reasonable fees of Trustee's attorneys.
