The ups and downs of Puertollano, Spain, as a producer of solar power, could have implications for the U.S., where a similar solar push is under way.

A high-tech route to smarter kids?

After boom and bust, solar power finds a place in Spain

But joining another district ‘would be a last resort,’ schools chief says

By Sheila G. Miller and Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

By Elisabeth Rosenthal New York Times News Service

PUERTOLLANO, Spain — Two years ago, this gritty mining city underwent a brief, 21st-century gold rush. Long famous for coal, Puertollano discovered another energy source it had overlooked: the relentless, scorching sun.

With generous incentives from the Spanish government to jump-start a national solar energy industry, the city aggressively set out to replace its failing coal economy by attracting solar companies, with a campaign slogan: “The Sun Moves Us.” Soon, Puertollano, home to the Museum of the Mining Industry, became a hub of alternative energy, with two enormous solar power plants, factories making solar panels and silicon wafers, and clean energy research institutes. Half the solar power installed globally in 2008 was installed in Spain.

Farmers sold land for solar plants. Boutiques opened. And people from all over the world, seeing business opportunities, moved to the city, which had suffered 20 percent unemployment and a population exodus.

But as low-quality, poorly designed solar plants sprang up like weeds on Spain’s plateaus, Spanish officials came to realize that they would have to subsidize many of them indefinitely, and that the industry they had created might never produce efficient green energy on its own.

Buff Elementary teacher Elizabeth Bare helps students Cesar Aguirre, 9, and Kaegan Prevett, 9, with a class project last week. The students were using their laptops to gather information from the Internet about the Iditarod race in Alaska. Bare uses a wireless mouse that operates her SMART board — a display connected to a computer and projector that shows the computer’s desktop on the board in the background.

MADRAS — When Elizabeth Bare’s third-grade students study mapping and Alaska’s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, they reference the fraying paper map tacked up at the rear of the classroom.

The Buff Elementary students also spend quite a bit of time studying directions and map coordinates with the help of a software program called Kidspiration. Their fingers tap persistently on laptops and their eyes rest on the classroom’s SMART board, which Bare operates with a wireless mouse and slate from the With her wireless mouse, rear of the room.

Teachers and administrators hope students will become as proficient in technology as they do in reading, writing and arithmetic. It’s not cheap, and there’s no proof that having the latest gadgets available will increase student achievement or help them pass state tests. In fact, districts are beginning to conduct their own research on whether the millions of dollars being spent on technology will help students learn. But anecdotal evidence from area districts indicates the addition of computers, iPods and other technology does what sometimes no standard lesson plan can: get kids engaged and interested.

Student-to-computer ratio in Bend-La Pine Schools Bend-La Pine Schools has spent millions over the past several years to increase the number of computers in classrooms and labs in its district schools. Below, a look at the student-to-computer ratio in each Bend-La Pine school. Instructional Technology Coordinator Amy Lundstrom would like to see one computer for every two to three students in the district. For now, some schools have more computers because of private fundraising.

SISTERS — Sisters School District officials are facing such serious budget shortfalls for the next few years that they have begun talking about fundamental changes to the district’s operations, including possibly merging with another school district or reducing its three schools to two.

Administrators and board members say it’s unlikely such drastic changes will occur this year.

But, “We have some difficult times financially coming,” Superintendent Elaine Drakulich said Monday.

Drakulich estimates the district will have to fill a $667,000 gap for the 2010-11 school year. That shortfall will increase to about $1.2 million in 201112. The district has a roughly $12 million budget.

As it stands, Drakulich believes the district could try to make cuts in existing programs or in teachers and other staffing. But Sisters residents routinely stress their interest in a district with strong academics, after-school activities and learning opportunities like outdoor school.

That’s where Drakulich’s less-traditional costsaving measures come in. While it’s still early in the process, Drakulich said several options are under consideration.

For one, she said, Sisters schools could become a part of another school district or regionalize some of its services, like special education or human resources, with other districts or the High Desert Education Service District.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Neuroscientist Lori Marino and a team of researchers have explored the brain of a dead killer whale with an MRI and found an astounding potential for intelligence.

Killer whales, or orcas, have the second-biggest brains among all ocean mammals, weighing as much as 15 pounds. It’s not clear whether they are as well-endowed with memory cells as humans, but scientists have found they are amazingly well-wired.

Scientists are trying to better understand how killer whales are able to learn local dialects, teach one another specialized methods of hunting and pass on behaviors that can last generations — longer possibly than seen with any other species except humans.

Letters capture nation’s grief after Kennedy assassination

By Katie Zezima New York Times News Service

Vol. 107, No. 68, 38 pages, 7 sections

Budget may force Sisters schools into merger, cuts

BOSTON — Days after President John F. Kennedy was killed, Dr. Ira Seiler sat at his desk and wrote a letter of condolence to his widow, Jacqueline Kennedy.

“Today, on Thanksgiving,

I keenly sense his death for it was just three years ago today that I forced my breath into the lungs of his newly born son,” Seiler wrote. John F. Kennedy Jr., was born premature; Seiler, a pediatric resident, said he placed a tube in the baby’s tra-

chea and breathed air into his lungs.

“I met your husband only once after this but the part I played in saving his son’s life gave me a feeling of deep closeness to your husband,” Seiler wrote. He added: “I only wish I had been able

to give my life in place of that of your husband. He had so much to offer.”

Seiler was one of more than a million people who wrote to Jacqueline Kennedy in the months after her husband’s assassination in 1963. Many of the letters

were destroyed; thousands of others were stored in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, where they were rarely seen, and at the National Archives; even many of the writers forgot what they said.

2010 Ford Escapes sit at a dealership in February in Littleton, Colo. When buying a new car, there are several factors consumers should consider beyond purchase price, says Mark Ragsdale, author of “Car Wreck: How You Got Rear-Ended, Run Over & Crushed by the U.S. Auto Industry.” The type of loan and the trade-in value are two important ones, he says.

Avoid the alluring pitfalls when buying that new car

By Gregory Karp The Morning Call (Allentown, Pa.)

Car buyers often focus on haggling down a dealer’s offer toward invoice price. That’s OK, but often that’s not where the real money is, says a former car dealer in his new book.

Instead of the purchase price, consumers should focus on other components of the deal, especially loans, trade-ins and their desire to buy more car than they can afford, said Mark Ragsdale, author of “Car Wreck: How You Got Rear-Ended, Run Over & Crushed by the U.S. Auto Industry.”

“You’d be better off paying MSRP and paying attention to the big stuff,” Ragsdale said.

“But dealer profitability gets the lion’s share of consumer focus and attention.”

Here, Ragsdale said, are a few things to consider other

than price: • That upside-down feeling: Negative equity is when you owe more on your car than it’s worth. This is true of most who drive a financed new car off the lot. The vehicle can lose a quarter of its value as soon as the rear wheels hit the street.

But even many people who have owned their cars for years are upside-down. It’s typical to own a car three or four years before your car is worth what you owe on it. This depreciation snowballs as consumers get car fever before they have equity in their vehicle. Dealers and auto lenders can accommodate these people by essentially rolling that negative equity into their next car loan — often keeping the payments reasonable by extending the loan.

Customers trade in their cars every 39 months on average, but

finance them for an average of 64 months, Ragsdale said. That leaves many upside-down by an average of $4,700, Edmunds. com said. The lesson? Don’t buy a new vehicle until you pay off your current one.

• Trade-in value: Many factors affect trade-in value, including a massive recall such as the one Toyota is experiencing. Among the best resources for finding the value of your car are online car-buying sites, Ragsdale said.

Edmunds.com, KBB.com and your insurance agent can provide used-car prices, too, but they might not be as “real-time” as prices on cars for sale at this moment, he said.

• Rule of 78s: This method of calculating loans is essentially a prepayment penalty because it front-loads the interest. You will be on the hook for most of the interest, even if you pay the

loan off early or trade in the car.

The figure 78 comes from the sum of the digits one through 12 — the number of months in a year — and from a time when most loans were for 12 months.

You want a simple-interest auto loan.

• Simple math: When you see an advertised payment of less than $400, ask yourself how reasonable that is. Simple math tells you that a $25,000 car paid over 48 months costs $521 per month — before interest, taxes, fees and negative equity.

The ideal way for many people to buy a car is to pay cash for a slightly used car and drive it for a decade. If you have caviar taste on a fish sticks budget, buy used or lease a vehicle. Leasing is more expensive than buying and holding, but it doesn’t put you thousands of dollars upside-down.

Advances on checks to jobless touch off criticism

By Robert Faturechi Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — The payday loan industry has found a new and lucrative source of business: the unemployed.

Payday lenders, which typically provide workers with cash advances on their paychecks, are offering the same service to those covered by unemployment insurance.

No job? No problem. A typical unemployed Californian receiving $300 a week in benefits can walk into one of hundreds of storefront operations statewide and walk out with $255 well before that government check arrives — for a $45 fee. Annualized, that’s an interest rate of 459 percent.

Critics of the practice, which has grown as the jobless rate has increased, say these pricey loans are sending the unemployed into a cycle of debt from which it will be tough to emerge.

Many payday clients pay off their loans and immediately take out another, or borrow from a second lender to pay off the first, and sink ever deeper into debt. Typical customers take out such loans about 10 times a year, by some estimates.

Lenders “market the product to give the illusion of assistance,” said Ginna Green, a spokeswoman for the advocacy group Center for Responsible Lending. “But instead of throwing them a life jacket they’re throwing them a cinder block.”

“We’re seeing a lot of demand from formerly banked businesses that are now looking to us to meet their needs.”

— Mark Pinsky, chief executive of Opportunity Finance, a network of financial groups

With bank credit frozen, small U.S. businesses turn to microlenders

By Ylan Q. Mui The Washington Post

Ryan Fochler’s life changed six years ago when he left his job in the computer industry to buy an Arlington County, Va.based dog-walking business with $50,000 in personal savings and a home-equity line of credit.

The firm grew quickly, with revenue more than doubling each year. By 2008, Fochler was ready to expand the business into a full-fledged pet day-care service called Dog Paws ‘n Cat Claws.

The only problem was money.

Fochler wanted to convert an old drugstore into a 7,000-squarefoot paradise for pets, complete with retail products and dog training. But those plans collided with the most severe financial crisis in a generation, and credit froze up. At one point, Fochler said, his bank refused to release the money needed to complete the construction.

“We just kind of hit it at completely the wrong time,” he said.

But, he added, for entrepreneurs, “failing is not an option.”

To help plug the gap, Fochler turned to the Latino Economic Development Corp.’s nascent microlending program, part of a growing network of financial institutions that specialize in small loans to mom-and-pop operations that are often below banks’ radar. The average size of the LEDC’s loans is $10,000 at a 10 percent interest rate, said Lend-

ing Director Rob Vickers. Many banks will not consider loans less than $200,000, he said.

Microlending first became popular as a form of foreign investment in poor, emerging markets. Before joining the LEDC a few years ago, Vickers was a microlending specialist in Latin America for the World Bank, including financing projects in Nicaragua to help rural villagers connect to electrical grids. The trend has been slower to take off in the United States.

But tightened underwriting standards have pushed many consumers out of the traditional banking system and sent them hunting for alternatives. In a survey of 16 microlenders by Opportunity Finance, a network of financial groups, 81 percent reported that applications for those small-dollar loans increased during the fourth quarter compared with the previous year.

“We’re seeing a lot of demand from formerly banked businesses that are now looking to us to meet their needs,” said Mark Pinsky, chief executive of Opportunity Finance.

In addition, the Internet has created a niche of microlending that allows businesses to appeal to everyday consumers for capital through peer-to-peer lending.

Renaud Laplanche, chief executive of the Lending Club, said small businesses account for about 10 percent of loans made

on his peer-lending site, with the average amount about $18,000.

Laplanche said that demand has increased among small businesses but that individuals have also grown more cautious about whom they lend money to.

“It’s not like if you can’t get any loan from a bank, you can get it from Lending Club,” he said. “The individual lenders are also savvy investors.”

But Fochler said that even the staff members at the LEDC were surprised that he could not qualify for a bank loan when he approached them two years ago. He reported record sales each year, with growth rates averaging 170 percent. The pet day care is profitable. Fochler employs 25 people and recently added dog training to his services. But he said that after the financial crisis, banks not only wanted to see profitability, but also matching assets.

At the LEDC, Vickers said staff members consider not only standard criteria such as credit scores in approving loans but also the entrepreneur’s ability to pay. The LEDC requires all applications to go through credit counseling to be approved and scrutinizes companies’ balance sheets. And it helps borrowers separate personal expenses from business ones, typically a tangled web for small-business owners.

“We are obsessed with making good loans,” Vickers said.

Deborah Tewey unwillingly joined a large and fast-growing club: victims of identity fraud.

The Baltimore County elementary school teacher discovered this when checking her bank account online before heading out on a shopping trip this month. The $700 she had in the account had been cleaned out.

At that point, Tewey began a two-week odyssey of alerting her card issuer, merchants and the police that a stranger had used her debit card. And what she found is that even though identity theft is now a well-known problem, some companies seem to take it more seriously than others.

More than 11 million U.S. adults were victims of identity theft last year, a 12 percent rise from the year before, according to Javelin Strategy & Research. Identity thieves got away with $54 billion, or $6 billion more than the year before.

Javelin blames the surge on the weak economy.

“ID theft is being taken more seriously, but one problem is it’s not being taken seriously enough,” says James Van Dyke, Javelin’s president. “Some companies are much better than others, no question.”

Some banks and online retailers, for instance, use sophisticated analyzers to match callers’ voice prints with those known to engage in the fraud, says Scott Mitic, chief executive of TrustedID. But other businesses still mail statements revealing customers’ Social Security numbers or toss documents with personal information in trash bins for anyone to steal, says Linda Foley, founder of the Identity Theft Resource Center.

Counting beans Companies weigh the cost of new safety measures against the cost of fraud and the loss of customer trust, Foley says.

“Whichever is lower is the one they go with,” she says. “It’s a beancounter issue.”

That’s because businesses end up bearing the brunt of fraud costs.

The typical amount lost last year to ID fraud was $4,841 per victim, with consumers on average picking up $373, Javelin reported.

That doesn’t mean consumers aren’t put out by fraud. Tewey, for instance, was the victim of one of the most common forms of ID fraud, and there are lessons in her tale.

First, victims should call the card issuer if they suspect fraud.

Tewey couldn’t because her credit union delayed its opening because of the recent snowstorms. She called Visa, which put a freeze on her card and told her about recent account activity.

Tewey then contacted Netflix, where someone had tried to open an account with her card. Netflix said the application was rejected because the ZIP code given didn’t match the ZIP code for the billing address.

Her next call was to HewlettPackard, where Tewey says the thief ordered a $620 laptop. The computer hadn’t been shipped, but Tewey says Hewlett-Packard told her the order couldn’t be stopped.

The customized laptop was being assembled in China, and the company would have to wait until it arrived in this country before it could reimburse her, she says.

Adding to her frustration, Tewey says, Hewlett-Packard didn’t ask for the card’s security code when the order was made, a step that’s supposed to thwart fraud. HewlettPackard said it asked for other verifying information.

Tewey notified her credit union of the theft when it opened the next day, and upon its suggestion, filed a police report.

Reporting the theft to the police should be the next step after notifying the card issuer.

“That is the holy grail that says, ‘I am a victim,’” Foley says. Some consumers say they are victims of ID fraud, but the only way some companies trust those claims is if there is a police report, Foley says.

T S White House launches health push with Obama on offense

By Amy Goldstein and Scott Wilson The Washington Post

Doug Mills / New York Times News Service

In a letter to health insurance executives and a speech Monday at Arcadia University in Glenside, Pa., President Barack Obama took aim at insurance rate increases. “How much higher do premiums have to rise,” he said, “before we do something about it?”

WASHINGTON — The White House is mounting a stinging, sustained broadside against health insurance rate increases as President Barack Obama and his aides enter what they hope will be the final stretch of a year-long political war over health-care reform.

Obama and his health secretary staged a two-pronged attack Monday in a stern letter to health insurance chief executives and a speech in which the president castigated insurance companies 22 times. “How much higher do premiums have to rise,” he demanded, “before we do something about it?”

The messages are part of a new strategy by Obama and those around him to ratchet up the pace

HEALTH CARE REFORM and populist appeal of their rhetoric against the health insurance industry. The barbed tone moves far beyond that of the 2008 presidential campaign, when Obama began to say that medical coverage should be accessible and affordable for more Americans.

It remains unclear whether the strategy, coming this late in the debate, will mobilize support among the public and on Capitol Hill for the legislation that the White House and congressional Democrats favor. Obama has asked Congress to conduct final votes within 10 days, before lawmakers leave for a two-week break.

Senate panel to investigate long-term care deaths

By Adam Nossiter New York Times News Service

DAKAR, Senegal — Officials and human rights groups in Nigeria sharply increased the count of the dead after a weekend of vicious ethnic violence, saying Monday that as many as 500 people — many of them women and children — may have been killed near the central city of Jos, long a flashpoint for tensions between Christians and Muslims.

The dead were Christians and members of an ethnic group that has been feuding with the Hausa Fulani, Muslim herders who witnesses and police officials identified as the attackers.

Officials said the attack was a reprisal for violence in January, when dozens of Muslims were slaughtered in and around Jos, including more than 150 in a single village.

Early Sunday, the attackers set upon the villagers with machetes, killing women and children in their homes and ensnaring the men who tried to flee in fishnets and animal traps, then massacring them, according to a Nigerian rights group whose investigators went to the area.

Some homes were set on fire.

The latest attacks were “a sort of vengeance from the Hausa Fulani,” said the Rev. Emmanuel Joel, of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Jos.

Jon Gambrell / The Associated Press

An unidentified woman covers her face from the smell of dead bodies Monday in Dogo Nahwa, Nigeria. Ethnic violence claimed as many as 500 lives over the weekend.

After the January attacks, “the military watched over the city, and neglected the villages,” he said. The attackers, said Joel, “began to massacre as early as 4 a.m. They began to slaughter the people like animals.”

The police said Monday that they had made 95 arrests, including a number of Hausa Fulani.

Not more quakes, just more people living in quake zones

By Seth Borenstein The Associated Press

First the ground shook in Haiti, then Chile and now Turkey.

The earthquakes keep coming hard and fast this year, causing people to wonder if something sinister is happening underfoot.

It’s not.

While it may seem as if there are more earthquakes occurring, there really aren’t. The problem is what’s happening above ground, not underground, experts say.

More people are moving into megacities that happen to be built on fault lines, and they’re rapidly putting up substandard buildings that can’t withstand

earthquakes, scientists say.

And around-the-clock news coverage and better seismic monitoring make it seem as if earthquakes are ever-present.

A magnitude 7.0 quake last month killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti. Less than two weeks ago, a magnitude 8.8 quake — the fifth-strongest since 1900 — killed more than 900 people in Chile. And on Monday, a strong pre-dawn magnitude 6.0 quake struck rural eastern Turkey, killing at least 51 people.

On average, there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between a 6.0 and 6.9, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. This year is off

to a fast start with 40 so far — more than in most years for that time period.

But that’s because the 8.8 quake in Chile generated a large number of strong aftershocks, and so many occurring this early in the year skews the picture, said Paul Earle, a seismologist at the U.S. Geological Survey.

Also, it’s not the number of quakes, but their devastating impacts that gain attention with the death tolls largely due to construction standards and crowding, Earle said.

“The standard mantra is earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings do,” he said.

Military funeral protest to go before high court

By Mark Sherman The Associated Press

The Supreme Court is entering an emotionally charged dispute between the grieving father of a Marine who died in Iraq and the anti-gay protesters who picket military funerals with inflammatory messages like “Thank God for dead soldiers.”

The court agreed Monday to consider whether the protesters’ message, no matter how provocative or upsetting, is protected by the First Amendment or limited by the competing privacy and religious rights of the mourners.

The justices will hear an appeal from a Marine’s father to reinstate a $5 million verdict against the protesters after they picketed outside his son’s funeral in Maryland four years ago.

Members of a Kansas-based church have picketed military funerals to spread their belief

that U.S. deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq are punishment for the nation’s tolerance of homosexuality.

The funeral protest dispute was one of three cases the court said it would hear in the fall. The others involve whether parents can sue drugmakers when their children suffer serious side effects from vaccine and NASA’s background checks on contract employees. The government says the decision in the NASA case could throw into question the background checks routinely done on all federal workers.

The protest lawsuit stemmed from picketing by members of the fundamentalist Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., outside the funeral for Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder in Westminster, Md. Snyder died in March 2006 when his Humvee overturned.

BAGHDAD — The Iraqi prime minister’s coalition and its main secular rival both claimed to be ahead in the vote count Monday, a day after historic parliamentary elections that the top U.S. commander said would let all but 50,000 American troops come home by the end of summer.

Sunday’s election, which took place against a backdrop of violence in Baghdad, marked a turning point for the country’s nascent democracy.

The winner will help determine whether Iraq can resolve its sectarian divisions and preserve the nation’s fragile security as U.S. troops leave.

Initial results for some provinces, as well as for Baghdad — an area essential to determining any winner — were to be announced today.

The election was only the country’s second for a full parliamentary term, and it attracted 62 percent of about 19 million eligible voters, according to the nation’s election commission. The last such

election, in December 2005, attracted roughly 76 percent of eligible voters.

Officials attributed the lower turnout to a combination of voter intimidation, more stringent ID requirements at the polls and a drop in voter excitement. A spate of attacks on election day — some directly targeting voters and polling stations — killed 36 people.

Gen. Ray Odierno, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, called the election a milestone and said that every sign suggests Iraq will be able to peacefully form a new government in the coming months.

By Alex Berenson The Senate Finance Committee has opened an investigation into patient deaths and allegations of substandard treatment at long-term care hospitals, small specialty medical centers that treat chronically ill patients.

The investigation focuses on the Select Medical Corp., a forprofit corporation that runs 89 long-term care hospitals, more than any other company. In a letter sent on Monday to Select’s chief executive, Robert Ortenzio, the committee’s top two senators demanded that Select provide records about staffing levels and quality at its hospitals.

The committee has substantial power over long-term care hospitals because it oversees Medicare. The federal program spends almost $5 billion annually on the hospitals, providing about 60 percent of their total revenue.

An article in The New York Times last month detailed poor treatment and patient deaths at long-term care hospitals, which treat 200,000 seriously ill patients a year nationwide, but rarely have full-time physicians on staff. In one incident at a Select hospital in Kansas, a dying patient’s heart alarm sounded for 77 minutes before nurses responded. Select has said that it conducted an appropriate clinical review in the case and terminated a clinician involved in the patient’s care.

The article prompted the investigation, according to the letter, which was sent by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., the committee’s chairman, and Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the panel’s senior Republican. The letter is not a subpoena; companies usually respond voluntarily to such requests for information.

Select Medical said that it would cooperate fully with the inquiry. Through a spokeswoman, Carolyn Curnane, the company referred to the Times article as misleading and inaccurate and said it looked forward to providing the committee with accurate facts about the quality of care.

Baucus and Grassley asked Select to disclose its policies for patient monitoring, emergency situations and staffing, including physician involvement at its hospitals and staff turnover. Former employees of Select have said that the company’s hospitals are understaffed and rely heavily on temporary nurses.

The letter also requests that Select disclose information about its discharge policies. Former employees have also said that the company presses to keep patients for 25 days and then discharge them almost immediately, because patients are most profitable if they stay exactly 25 days under government reimbursement rules.

Orcas Continued from A1 These researchers have yet to find evidence that an orca in the wild has ever killed a person. But they aren’t surprised that the world’s biggest, most powerful and possibly smartest predator, captured and kept for years in a tank, cut off from the influences of an extended family, could have a fatal encounter with a human.

Human interaction with captive killer whales has come under scrutiny since Feb. 24, when a large male orca with a checkered past killed a trainer at SeaWorld Orlando by dragging her into a tank.

“I’m not trying to secondguess what was in this particular whale’s mind,” said Marino, part of the Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology Program at Emory University in Atlanta. “But, certainly, if we are talking about whether killer whales have the wherewithal and the cognitive capacity to intentionally strike out at someone, or to be angry, or to really know what they are doing, I would have to say the answer is yes.”

Much still a mystery Years of tediously difficult research has given scientists some understanding of killer whales — but also has made them aware of how little they know about the creatures.

For starters, there’s puzzlement over exactly how to categorize them.

They swim the world’s oceans — they are more widely distributed than any whale, dolphin or porpoise — in at least three distinct populations. There are

fish-eating orcas that stay in one area, flesh-eaters that wander more widely along coasts, and a third group that roams the deepblue waters.

The three groups have starkly different diets, languages, hunting techniques and manners of behaving around other marine life, and they don’t seem to interact much with one another.

“If they didn’t have the same paint jobs, you’d call them different species,” said Brad Hanson, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration biologist in Seattle.

Yet the orcas’ DNA tells a different story. Instead of the world’s varied populations having genetics that spread outward like a tree with several main branches, theirs is but a single, nearly straight trunk, except for a mismatched pair of genes here and there.

“It’s very, very strange,” said Hanson, who participated in research that led to the listing of resident whales in waters off the Northwestern U.S. as endangered.

If genetic variety isn’t what makes these killer-whale groups so different, scientists suspect, their enormous brains might be the telltale factor.

Bigger animals typically have bigger masses of brain cells. But scientists use brain-weight-tobody-weight ratios as a rough measure of intelligence. By that measure, human brains, by comparison, are seven times average. Orcas’ brains are 2½ times average — similar to those of chimpanzees.

But scientist think that looking just at the brain-body ratio seriously underestimates the thinking power of larger marine mammals. In other words, orcas might be even much smarter

C OV ER S T OR I ES than the size of their big brain suggests.

Hal Whitehead, a biology professor at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, awakened the world of cetacean research in 2001 when he co-authored a controversial paper that suggested no species other than humans are as “cultural” as orcas.

“Culture is about learning from others,” Whitehead said.

“A cultural species starts behaving differently than a species where everything is determined genetically.”

Talkative critters Equally remarkable to researchers is the orca’s ability to communicate with whistles and pulsed calls, and to “see” by making a clicking sound that works like sonar.

Many cetaceans — whales, dolphins and porpoises included — have these abilities to some degree. But orcas learn local and complex languages that are retained for many generations.

And their bio-sonar, or echolocation, abilities also amaze researchers.

Professor Whitlow Au, of the University of Hawaii’s Marine Mammal Research Program, finished a study recently adding to evidence that orcas can use their bio-sonar not just to find fish in murky water and not just to single out salmon, but to identify their favorite meal: chinook salmon.

“They can recognize chinook salmon from a long ways away,” said Au, who put the distance at roughly half a football field.

“They are able to use their biosonar to detect and track and eventually catch them.”

Solar Continued from A1 In September, the government abruptly changed course, cutting payments and capping solar construction. Puertollano’s brief boom went bust. Factories and stores shut, thousands of workers lost their jobs, foreign companies and banks abandoned contracts that had already been negotiated.

“We lost the opportunity to be at the vanguard of renewables — we were not only generating electricity, but also a strong economy,” said Joaquin Carlos Hermoso Murillo, Puertollano’s mayor since 2004. “Why are they limiting solar power, when the sun is unlimited?”

Puertollano’s wrenching fall points to the delicate policy calculations needed to stimulate nascent solar industries and create green jobs, and might serve as a cautionary tale for the United States, where a similar exercise is under way.

For now, electricity generation from the sun’s rays needs to be subsidized because it requires the purchase of new equipment and investment in evolving technologies. But costs are rapidly dropping. And regulators are still learning how to structure stimulus payments so that they yield a stable green industry that supports itself, rather than just costly energy and an economic flash in the pan like Spain’s.

“The industry as a whole learned a lot from what happened in Spain,” said Cassidy DeLine, who analyzes the Euro-

Sisters Continued from A1 Drakulich mentioned Black Butte School District as a possible merger partner, but it remains unclear which, if any, other districts could be part of the plan.

Another proposal is to split the middle school, sending fifth- and sixth-graders to the elementary school and seventhand eighth-graders to the high school. The district could then potentially sell or rent out one of its three school buildings.

Drakulich said the district could also save money by working with local public agencies or private businesses to provide some of the programs the district currently offers. Drakulich, for example, said perhaps the Sisters Park and Recreation District and the school district could work together to provide after-school activities and athletics.

Though selling land is difficult now, the district could also put some of its property on the market.

“I think it will be a very short discussion about consolidation,” Drakulich said. “That would be

The most robust Spanish solar companies survived the downturn, have restructured and are re-emerging as global players.

For example, when the government changed course, Siliken Renewable Energy, originally a producer of solar panels, shut its factories for five months and cut its staff to 600 from 1,200. But after shifting its focus to external markets like Italy, France and the United States, and diversify-

ing into solar support services, the company turned a profit.

Although Spain’s long-term goal had been to produce 400 megawatts of electricity from solar panels by 2010, it reached that milestone by the end of 2007.

In 2008 the nation connected 2.5 gigawatts of solar power into its national grid, more than quintupling its previous capacity and making it second only to Germany, the world leader.

But many of the hastily opened plants offered no hope of being cost-competitive with conventional power, having been poorly designed or located where there was inadequate sunshine, for example.

Designs for solar power plants vary. The most common type

a last resort in many minds.”

Much of the budget difficulty comes from falling district enrollment and state budget issues.

The district will also lose money by ending its contract with two charter schools after this year: the Sisters Charter Academy of Fine Arts and the Sisters AllPrep Academy.

In the 2010-11 school year, Drakulich estimates 11 fewer students will attend the district’s schools. Because Sisters is closing the two charter schools at the end of this school year, enrollment will likely fall another 119 students. Under the district’s current charter, it receives about 20 percent of all state funds for those students.

The district will continue to receive state money for charter school students in 2010-11, even though the schools will be closed. But after that, charter school funds — about $200,000 annually — will be gone.

“As we get two to three years out, the resources are not there,” Drakulich said.

The district expects to see declining enrollment in its others schools as well. That, combined with a $50,000 decrease in the district’s local service plan, the loss of $315,000 in stimulus

funds and the need to put aside more than $500,000 for PERS funding, spells fiscal trouble for the district.

Board member Glen Lasken said the major changes like merging two schools together will not happen by the next school year. The district staff is not yet certain how much each move could potentially save.

“Certainly we’re not going to be closing any of our schools this year,” Lasken said. “That’s clearly not going to happen on this kind of short notice this year.”

School Board Chairwoman Christine Jones said board members want to be cautious as they consider the list of drastic options. Last year, the district bridged a more than $1.5 million budget gap mainly through staff attrition.

The district also took one step, if small, toward regional consolidation when it shifted payroll from Sisters to the High Desert ESD. That move saved the district about $60,000.

The High Desert ESD is investigating what kind of savings area districts could see if they consolidated some services.

That study should be ready at the end of the year, Jones said.

pean solar market for Emerging Energy Research, a firm based in Cambridge, Mass. She noted that other countries had since set subsidies lower and issued stricter standards for solar plants.

Solar rebirth

at San Diego’s National Marine Mammal Foundation, which works for the Navy, said the orca brain has a relatively smaller amount of cerebral cortex — the gray matter involved in memory, attention and thought — than the human brain does. But it has large-diameter myelinated axons, which carry nerve impulses.

“It’s analogous to a computer that has maybe less memory but bigger wires,” said Ridgway, who puts a high value on being able to work with orcas in captivity. “The bigger the axon, the faster the nerve impulses travel.”

Patrick Hof, vice chairman of the Department of Neuroscience at New York’s Mount Sinai School of Medicine, summed up the orca noodle as a “big brain, a really big brain” with enormous capacity.

But whether that capacity creates the potential for intentionally killing a human is something for which there is “no scientific knowledge to prove,” he said.

“It’s a wild animal to begin with, and it has predatory behaviors that are well-known,” Hof said. “It is possible that, in a situation of stress or captivity or stress related to captivity, some of the natural behavior might be expressed.”

Marino, the Emory neuroscientist, wonders about the extent to which a captive orca could grow frustrated with being cut off from the cultural richness of living among an extended family — grandparents through calves — and the environmental richness of swimming the world’s oceans.

“Living in a tank and having to splash people with your tail every day for 27 years would make anyone go nuts,” Marino said.

uses photovoltaic panels to generate electricity. Others, called thermal solar plants, use mirrors to focus the sun’s energy on a liquid that, when heated, drives a steam turbine.

In its haste to create a solar industry, Spain made some miscalculations: solar plants can be set up so quickly and easily that the rush into the industry was much faster than anticipated. And the lavish subsidies inflated Spanish solar installation costs at a time when they were rapidly decreasing elsewhere — in part because of increasing competition from panel makers in China, but also because higher volumes produced economies of scale.

Even with the reduced incentives and local economic downturn, the solar industry gave Puertollano something of a face-lift and, potentially, a new economic future. Research institutes there are developing cutting-edge technologies. Unemployment, though around 10 percent, has not returned to the 20 percent figure. The city is home to a number of solar businesses: a new 50-megawatt thermal-solar plant owned by the Spanish energy giant Iberdrola creating hundreds of jobs.

Although coal mines still dot the landscape and a smokespewing petrochemical factory remains one of Puertollano’s largest employers, that new solar plant sits just next door, with more than 100,000 parabolic mirrors in neat rows on about 400 acres of former farmland.

Clean and white as a hospital ward, it silently turns sunshine into Spanish electricity.

“I think we need to take a look and see what things we can do for next year that are significant but not radical,” Jones said.

Board members said they want to avoid cutting programs or significantly increasing class size. Lasken said initiatives similar to last year’s could work.

“I think we’ll be able to make cuts through attrition, but nothing too drastic,” Lasken said.

The district will only know how much it can save through attrition sometime in spring.

At a March 17 meeting, board members are going to begin working on more specific ideas that could fill next year’s budget gap, Lasken said.

“The primary charge is to get a budget that is going to be balanced for next year and make whatever tweaks or adjustments to get through this upcoming (budget) cycle,” Lasken said.

“Secondary, we’ll give some ideas for broader changes if we had to go down that road in years to come.”

JFK Continued from A1 For a new book, “Letters to Jackie: Condolences From a Grieving Nation,” released by HarperCollins, Ellen Fitzpatrick, a historian, culled through the archives. Now she has published about 250 letters, most for the first time, from people around the country who felt compelled to write to Jacqueline Kennedy.

The letters, many of them eloquent expressions of grief — from a priest in an Eskimo village, schoolchildren in Texas, a middle-class family in California, a widow in Pittsburgh, a Louisiana woman with a fourthgrade education — provide a window into Americans struggling with poverty, fighting for civil rights and trying to comfort themselves and others in the face of the president’s death.

“The lights of the prison have gone out now,” wrote Stephen J. Hanrahan, Prisoner 85255, from a federal penitentiary in Atlanta.

“In this, the quiet time, I can’t help but feel, that my thoughts and the thoughts of my countrymen will ever reach out to that light on an Arlington hillside for sustenance. How far that little light throws his beam.”

“There is great wisdom in the hearts of these average folks back in this moment in 1963,” said Fitzpatrick, an American political and intellectual historian and a professor at the University of New Hampshire.

Finding a book The idea for the book came as Fitzpatrick was conducting research at the Kennedy library on another project and remembered how, when she was a young girl, she saw the former first lady on television thanking Americans for sending letters of condolence. Fitzpatrick found the letters and started culling through them.

Because of copyright law, she could not publish the letters — from taxicab drivers to the widow of Medgar Evers to Langston Hughes — without permission from the writers or their heirs.

So she enlisted the help of genealogists and others to find them.

Only one person asked that his letter remain private. Others were shocked to learn that theirs still existed.

“I had forgotten what I had written,” said Tom Smith, who skipped school at age 14 to see the Kennedys in his hometown, Dallas. About six blocks after the motorcade passed, he said, Kennedy was shot.

Days later, Smith bought a simple condolence card with his own money and mailed it to Jacqueline Kennedy.

“I know the grief you bear,” he wrote. “I bear that same grief. I am a Dallasite.” He added, “I’m very disturbed because I saw him a mere 2 minutes before that

Why pay retail?

fatal shot was fired.”

Smith, now 61 and living in San Antonio, said he had not realized how many people wrote to Jacqueline Kennedy. “I felt so bad about it, and so much a part of it,” he said. “I thought I was the only one doing it.”

Some correspondents did not realize letters they had written to family members about the assassination had been sent on to Jacqueline Kennedy.

‘Sense of loss’ Ann Owens, 72, of Seattle, was a Peace Corps volunteer in Ethiopia when she heard that the president had been killed.

Schoolchildren and villagers mourned, and the school where Owens taught was closed for days. “I feel now as if a member of my family had died,” she wrote to her mother. “In a very real sense he was our idol; he is the reason for us being here — his idealism, his courage.”

Owens’ mother included her daughter’s letter with her own condolence note to the former first lady, something Owens did not learn until she was contacted about the book. “It brought tears to my eyes to hear my mom’s words,” said Owens, whose mother died in 1990.

Many of the letters show how profoundly many felt Jacqueline Kennedy’s loss.

“Twenty-six years of escaping from Hitler — growing up in wartime China fleeing from communism — watching my father’s futile struggle against cancer — seeing my roommate killed in an automobile accident — all these I deemed adequate preparation for some of life’s bitter moments,” wrote Gabriele Gidion. “Yet NEVER, until last Friday, have I felt such a desperate sense of loss and loneliness.”

Some historians view Kennedy as having been slow on civil rights. But many of the letters reveal how deeply he touched many black Americans.

“We are a middle class Negro family and had of course felt after so long that President was like a beacon — a light in the darkness who would become a second emancipator,” wrote Cornelia M. Davis from Walnut Creek, Calif.

Seiler, who was only 29 when he assisted in John Jr.’s birth, said he had received a thank you note from the president-elect.

Seiler was invited to the Inauguration — an occasion so special his wife wore her wedding dress — and was seated next to Adlai Stevenson.

Seiler was “devastated” upon hearing news of the president’s death, and wrote his letter in longhand. He never kept a copy.

When it was read it back to him over the phone as the book was being prepared, “I got a little bit too emotional,” Seiler said.

“I felt very strongly about him,” he said. “I really thought he was a great man.”

Technology Continued from A1 “Technology doesn’t teach,” said Sue Taylor, the Jefferson County School District instructional technology coach. “It’s just another tool in a teacher’s bag of tricks. But it might help reach kids who weren’t being impacted.”

Teaching tactics in Jefferson County There are all kinds of equipment and software being used in classrooms these days. In addition to more common pieces like iPods and laptops, many schools are purchasing SMART boards, a display connected to a computer and projector that projects the computer’s desktop onto the board. Teachers and students can control the computer with a pen, a finger or other implements, like a tennis ball on a stick. Boards can cost at least $2,000.

Jefferson County School District started its influx of classroom technology in 2007 with a $250,000 federal grant. That grant, designed to enhance education through technology for students in third through fifth grades, was followed by two similar ones in 2009, the most recent for $275,000, and local business Central Oregon Seeds Inc. provided some matching funds to purchase more laptop carts.

Some of the money has gone to professional development to help teachers learn to use the software and hardware; the federal grants require that 25 percent of the funds go to professional development. The rest has gone to new equipment and programs that officials hope will help improve student learning, with a focus in third through seventh grades. As part of the new focus on technology, several teachers in each building have been named technology mentors.

“It’s been a real groundswell,” Taylor said. “If it had come from the top down it wouldn’t have been as successful. But people were wanting to get involved.”

Now there are 80 SMART boards in schools around the district; there could be as many as 120 by the start of the 2010-11 school year. Nearly all K-8 classrooms have projection equipment, and more than a dozen laptop carts moving through classrooms in the district’s six schools.

The latest grant will also pay for an after-school program for 20 seventh-graders who will learn higher-level technology skills. They will then become a student help desk that provides computer assistance to teachers and students around the school, and run a family night to teach parents some tech skills.

With the resources the district has put into technology, it now wants to know whether any of it will make a difference. So officials are doing research on their own.

“We’re looking critically at our practices, ‘How is what we’re doing impacting student achievement?’” Taylor said.

Taylor is using state assessment data and creating other ongoing in-class assessments that will seek to show a connection between the technology and the increases students might make in the classroom.

Some teachers have been conducting research projects in which they teach lessons with the technology and give preand post-tests to see whether the technology improves the lesson or student understanding.

“It’s hard to isolate,” Taylor said. “There’s a lot of things we’re doing to try to improve student achievement.”

Not much research Jefferson County isn’t the only school district struggling to determine just what effect technology can have on student achievement.

Many of the grants provided to fund classroom computers and other equipment comes with a requirement that teachers go through training and professional development; therefore, whether the gains in achievement are linked to the technology or the teacher’s increased abilities is hard to track.

And there’s not much completed research on the subject.

For example, the Center for Applied Research in Educational Technology is part of the International Society for Technology in Education, which has offices in both Eugene and Washington, D.C. It offers research evidence showing technology can influence academic performance, but many of the studies are at least 10 years old.

A researcher in Colorado studied teaching and student outcomes in about 180 classes, with teachers running a lesson plan with and without SMART

Technology comparison for Bend-La Pine Schools Bend-La Pine Schools Technology Director Steve Carlson hopes that in time every classroom will have a presentation station — which includes a projector, document camera and speakers, all of which can be connected to teachers’ laptops. Below, a look at the number of presentation stations in each school in the district.

boards. The research generally indicated that students who learned with the boards had a higher achievement level, although in 23 percent of the cases teachers produced better results without the boards.

With so little research to show whether money is being spent on the right tools, more studies are underway.

This year, the state of Oregon awarded Bend-La Pine Schools a nearly $275,000 grant to help R.E. Jewell Elementary School fourth-graders improve their writing skills with an infusion of computers and other tech gadgets. The goal of the grant: provide evidence that technology can increase student learning in core subjects.

To measure what effect, if any, the influx of technology has on students, teachers have collected writing samples. In the spring they’ll take another set of samples to see what progress students have made. The district will also use the state writing assessment and will have the fourth-graders take a technology literacy assessment the state has developed.

Several weeks ago, the school received five carts, each with 16 laptops, for each fourth-grade classroom. The classrooms will also have SMART boards and other gadgets.

Amy Lundstrom, Bend-La Pine Schools’ instructional technology coordinator, based that grant on information from the Stanford Study of Writing, which looked at college students’ writing and determined that nearly 40 percent of student writing took place outside of the classroom online, in social networking and other forums.

According to the study, students write more now than in the past but in different ways, and are much less enthusiastic about class writing than personal writing. Using technology, Lundstrom believes, will increase Jewell student interest in developing writing skills.

Fourth- and fifth-grade teacher Jaime Speed has certainly seen that phenomenon at Juniper Elementary, which became a technology magnet school five years ago.

Speed said she can’t prove a definite correlation between her students’ use of technology and their scores on state assessments. But she has seen an improvement in student writing and research ability and a clear increase in interest.

“It’s tricky to know because we’re constantly trying to improve, so is it the new reading program or is it the technology?

It’s difficult to pinpoint,” Speed said. “One thing I do know is that it’s improved student interest in school and student interest in learning both reading and writing.”

Many of the projects her students complete using laptops and other technology are placed online on Speed’s Web site for parents and friends to see.

“They take such a great pride in their work that they are constantly reading and practicing and improving because they know it’s not just for me,” she said. “They know it’s a big deal,

and I see them taking a much more involved interest in what they’re learning.”

She’s also seen jumps in reading and on early literacy skills tests after starting a program three years ago in which she recorded herself reading and commenting on books, then put the recordings on iPods that she sent home with students so they could practice reading at home.

Equipment isn’t cheap It’s innovations like Speed’s that Bend-La Pine Schools officials believe make the outlay of funding for technology worthwhile. According to Finance Director Brad Henry, the district has spent about $5.25 million since the 2006-07 school year on instructional technology. For the 2009-10 school year the district budgeted $500,000, not counting grants. The district operates annually on a roughly $120 million budget.

Lundstrom said the first step for Bend-La Pine was simply getting every school operating on the same software and hardware.

It’s taken a long time, but Lundstrom feels like the district is finally getting where it needs to be with the right tools in classrooms.

“I think we’re a good halfway,” Lundstrom said.

The district almost exclusively uses Apple computers, and Carlson said the plan is to provide a laptop to each district teacher and to place a presentation station, complete with projector, document camera and speakers, in each classroom in the district’s 27 schools.

“The greatest financial expenditure we have made is to upgrade the school wiring, the Internet connections, the supporting electronic equipment,” Carlson wrote in an e-mail.

One of the challenges of funding instructional technology is the constant need for upgrades; Lundstrom hopes that won’t prevent continued funds from coming into her department.

Next year, eighth-graders around Oregon will take a test on their tech literacy; Lundstrom believes some students in the district are unprepared.

“Some will do very very well, others will be completely lost,” she said.

That’s because for many schools in the district, computer access is limited to state testing.

“We can’t get them into the labs to teach them skills,” Lundstrom said.

She’d like to see a ratio in the district of two or three students to each classroom computer.

And she wants the use of technology to become an expectation of teachers, rather than a choice.

“For many teachers, it’s still a choice whether they want to use technology or not,” Lundstrom said. “Teachers need to see the impact that technology learning tools can have on students.”

They seem to be catching on; a survey Lundstrom presented to the school board in February showed 67 percent of teachers in the district considered themselves proficient or advanced

in using technology, more than double from a previous survey in 2009; the survey also indicated 94 percent of teachers said their laptops were important or necessary to do their jobs and 74 percent said their presentation stations were important or necessary to do their jobs.

That’s how Buff Elementary’s Bare sees technology in her Madras classroom.

Bare’s class uses laptops for at least an hour three or four days each week. The class uses the SMART board daily.

“It’s just part of the daily routine,” Bare said. “They know the functions. They can do any type of basic research. … They’re pretty fluent in using this stuff.”

Bare sees students retaining more information because they are both seeing the lesson and using their hands to reinforce it.

“I have 100 percent of my students participating and they’re not afraid to make mistakes because we’re all doing something new,” she said. “I don’t know what I did before.”

And Juniper Elementary’s Speed said she doesn’t know what her students would do without the knowledge they’re gaining.

Her students write on blogs, e-mail one another and pen pals in Costa Rica, create documentaries and movies and podcasts.

Currently students are using a software program called Garage Band to create raps about the Bill of Rights. Her students just completed a project they worked on with a school in New Jersey.

“Our world is different,” Speed said. “We are actually preparing kids for jobs that don’t exist yet, while 50 years ago we were preparing them for jobs that existed. We need to teach our kids to think collaboratively, to think globally, to see the world beyond the classroom, or not just our kids but the U.S. will be left behind.”

W B Al-Qaida suspect isn’t Myanmar junta group’s spokesman is selling state assets ISLAMABAD — Pakistani officials reversed course Monday on a recently captured American suspected of being a member of al-Qaida, saying the man is not the terror network’s U.S.-born spokesman, as they initially believed.

The man arrested in the southern city of Karachi was first identified as al-Qaida spokesman Adam Gadahn, the most wanted American in the terrorist network. But authorities later said it was a case of mistaken identity and that they have a different American in custody.

Biden visits Mideast to push peace talks JERUSALEM — Vice President Joe Biden began a fiveday visit to the Middle East on Monday, part of a concerted American effort to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and keep Israel focused on imposing sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program rather than pursuing unilateral military action.

Biden is due to meet Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian leaders and give a speech at Tel Aviv University expressing American solidarity with Israel.

George Mitchell, the Obama administration’s Middle East envoy, announced Monday in Jerusalem that Israel and the Palestinians had agreed to start indirect negotiations and that he would be back next week to continue structuring those talks.

YANGON, Myanmar — Myanmar’s military government has quietly begun the largest sell-off of state assets in the country’s history, including more than 100 government buildings, port facilities and a large stake in the national airline, diplomats and businessmen here say.

The sell-off, analysts say, appears to be part of a political transition as the government introduces elections for the first time in 20 years and a new constitution under which the military seems likely to perpetuate its rule, though more from behind the scenes.

Diplomats and businessmen say that the sales may allow ruling generals to build up cash for election campaigns to the new parliament, where they will hold 25 percent of seats.

Gates, Karzai plan Kandahar offensive KABUL — Defense Secretary Robert Gates met here on Monday with President Hamid Karzai and Gen. Stanley McChrystal to review plans for a major U.S.-led offensive in the city of Kandahar, the spiritual heart and birthplace of the Taliban.

McChrystal, the top NATO and U.S. commander in Afghanistan, declined to give a specific time, but told reporters at a briefing in Kabul that it would be several more months before U.S., coalition and Afghan forces were at full strength.

Northrop Grumman withdraws, saying process isn’t fair McClatchy-Tribune News Service

A “phishing” scam targeting Bank of the Cascades customers is under way, and state officials are urging customers to never divulge their bank account numbers online or over the phone.

The Oregon Attorney General’s Office said Monday it has lodged a surge of complaints from individuals who have received fraudulent phone calls from an entity claiming to be the Bank of the Cascades. State officials said the scammers are calling bank customers and telling them their bank accounts have been compromised and that they should verify their account numbers over the phone.

State officials said a bank will never call and ask for an account number.

Customers who have received such calls can report them to the Oregon Department of Justice Consumer Hotline, at 877-877-9392, or online at www.oregonattorney general.gov.

Phone scam targets Bend bank customers

t

WASHINGTON — Boeing now has the inside track on a $35 billion contract to start replacing the Air Force’s aging fleet of aerial refueling tanks after Northrop Grumman announced Monday that it wouldn’t bid.

Northrop’s partner, the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co., left open the possibility that it could bid on its own, though lawmakers and military analysts

said that might be difficult. EADS is the parent company of Airbus, Boeing’s fierce rival in the commercial airplane market.

“This is now Boeing’s contract to lose,” said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst with the Lexington Institute, a national security research center based in northern Virginia.

Defense Department officials didn’t indicate Monday whether they’d follow through with the bidding process even though there probably will be only one bid or negotiate a

sole-source contract with Boeing. Bids are due in May, and the Air Force was expected to award the contract this fall.

In a statement, Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn said the Pentagon was disappointed that Northrop had decided not to bid and said that the competition was structured fairly so that both companies could compete effectively.

Boeing supporters on Capitol Hill said Defense Secretary Robert Gates had told them the Air Force would move ahead with awarding the contract even if only one firm bid.

Keeping it local

Bob Thomas: No word from GM Bend General Motors dealer Bob Thomas said Monday that he was not among the dealers whose franchises the automaker offered to reinstate. GM announced Friday it would offer reinstatement to 661 of the more than 1,100 terminated dealers to request arbitration. GM had notified all those dealers as of Monday afternoon, The Detroit News reported.

Thomas, who still services GM vehicles under a winddown agreement, is preparing for arbitration. Chrysler, which eliminated 789 dealers, made no reinstatement offer to its nearly 400 former dealers seeking arbitration.

Oil, gas prices creeping upward

By Clifford Krauss New York Times News Service

HOUSTON — Crude oil and gasoline prices are inching up again.

Optimism about the economy, new tensions in oil-producing Nigeria and reports that China intends to build up its strategic reserves lifted crude prices to around $82 on Monday, about a $10 increase in the last month.

Prices at the pump are rising, too, with the average national price for a gallon of gasoline jumping 5 cents in the last week, to just above $2.75.

“That’s a drag on the economy,” said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service, who estimated that consumers were paying just over $1 billion a day at the pump, about $250 million more than this time a year ago.

Kloza predicted that gasoline prices would top $3 a gallon between April and June as warm weather encouraged more driving, before dropping to as low as $2.50 after the summer driving season. “We’re in the fourth or fifth inning of the typical end-ofwinter, early spring rise in gasoline prices,” he added.

The energy markets have been relatively stable since early October, with crude prices moving within a narrow range of $70 to $83. That followed years of erratic prices, with oil trading above $147 a barrel in July 2008 and falling below $33 only five months later.

COLUMBIA RIVER BANK ACQUISITION

Andy Tullis / The Bulletin

The Newberry Habitat for Humanity held a grand opening for a new ReStore in La Pine on Friday. The store will be open Thursday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The new ReStore, managed by Rolando Alonzo Jr., will sell items similar to those that can be found at the Bend ReStore, including used furniture, appliances, mirrors and other items. With the exception of Alonzo, the store will be staffed entirely by volunteers. Applications for new volunteers are being accepted. Money generated at the ReStore will help fund houses that Habitat for Humanity will build in the local community. Alonzo said plans call for building three new homes in the La Pine area during 2010. “We’ve had a tremendous response from the La Pine and Sunriver communities,” Alonzo said.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — In a meeting at Google in 2004, the discussion turned to an e-mail message the company had received from a fan in South Korea. Sergey Brin, a Google founder, ran the message through an automatic translation service that the company had licensed.

The result read: “The sliced raw fish shoes it wishes. Google green onion thing!”

Brin said Google ought to be able to do better. Six years later, its free

It sells beef raised on ranches in Tumalo, Alfalfa and elsewhere in the region.

The beef from Borlen Cattle Co., in Alfalfa, feeds on spent grain and hops from local breweries.

Nature’s also works to keep prices low and products fresh by picking up its products from growers or outlets in the Willamette Valley, rather than having them age on trucks as they travel to distribution centers before heading to Central Oregon.

“We pride ourselves in not listening to distributors, not listening to suppliers,” Jessee said. “That’s really where our niche is, looking forward.”

Similar corporate cultures, an attractive branch footprint and government assistance all made Columbia State Bank’s acquisition of Columbia River Bank in January “an attractive financial opportunity,” said Melanie J. Dressel, president and CEO of the bank’s parent company, TaMelanie Dres- coma, Wash.sel, president based Columbia Banking and CEO of System Inc. Columbia Columbia Banking River Bank, System Inc. based in The Dalles and with 21 branches in Washington and Oregon, including six in Central Oregon, was ordered closed in January by the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services. The state named the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. as receiver, which immediately sold the bank to Columbia State Bank.

Columbia State Bank is known as Columbia Bank in Washington but uses the name Columbia State Bank in Oregon. It already had a presence in Oregon, primarily in Portland and on the coast, before it acquired Columbia River Bank.

Dressel said the bank plans to be active in the community and “wants to be the community bank” in each of the communities it serves.

Q: A:

You’ve been in business for 27 years. To what do you attribute the longevity?

It’s really just being strong on fiscal responsibility and providing good customer service. This store is a niche market.

We’ve been able to bring local (goods to our customers). We go to the (Willamette) Valley twice a week, to the Eugene-Springfield area, (for example), and we’re seen by our customers as a reliable source. We keep it fresh.

Continued from B1 One example is providing gluten-free products, which are becoming more popular with consumers with food allergies.

Nature’s also stresses customer service, said Jessee, 29.

Employees seek out customers’ questions. If they can’t answer them immediately based on their knowledge, employees have plenty of reference materials at hand.

The store has available a computerized health reference, and a copy of “Prescription for Nutritional Healing, The A-Z Guide to Supplements,” sits on a book stand near one of the two aisles devoted to vitamins, health products, freeze-dried herbs, organic herbs and herbal tinctures, such as Good Mood Tonic, Nervous System Tonic or Healthy Veins Tonic.

Gordon Smith died in 2007, but the store remains a family business. His former wife, now Debbie Sloan, owns the store, and Jessee, a Bend High School graduate who began working at Nature’s 12 years ago while attending Central Oregon Community College, married their daughter, Andee.

Calen Jessee agreed to discuss Nature’s General Store with The Bulletin.

Q:

You mentioned your trips to the Valley reducing your carbon footprint. Can you explain that?

There’s nothing from Springfield that comes (directly) to Bend. It goes to Portland or to a distribution center in Seattle. We take out the middleman.

We’re able to bring it straight over the mountains. We’re way ahead of (the freshness date).

Google’s strategic vision,” said Tim O’Reilly, founder and chief executive of the technology publisher O’Reilly Media. “It is not something that anyone else is taking very seriously. But Google understands something about data that nobody else understands, and it is willing to make the investments necessary to tackle these kinds of complex problems ahead of the market.”

Creating a translation machine has long been seen as one of the toughest challenges in artificial intelligence. For decades, computer scientists tried using a rulesbased approach — teaching the computer the linguistic rules of two languages and giving it the necessary dictionaries.

But in the mid-1990s, researchers began favoring a so-called statistical approach. They found that if they fed the computer thousands or millions of passages and

Continued from B1 Its digital books project has been hung up in court, and the introduction of its social network, Buzz, raised privacy fears. The pattern suggests that it can sometimes misstep when it tries to challenge business traditions and cultural conventions.

But Google’s quick rise to the top echelons of the translation business is a reminder of what can happen when Google unleashes its brute-force computing power on complex problems.

The network of data centers that it built for Web searches may now be, when lashed together, the world’s largest computer. Google is using that machine to push the limits on translation technology.

“Machine translation is one of the best examples that shows

drives back and forth.

Q:

Nature’s also sells some fruits, vegetables, beef and other products grown, raised or made locally?

That’s the labor-intensive part. You have to be fairly understanding that sometimes it’s going to take some work to get it ready (for display and sale).

You just do it because you know customers want it. Even if we break even on it, we feel good about it. We’ve kept the dollars local.

Q: A:

Continued from B1 “I don’t foresee a lot of changes,” Dressel said of the bank’s acquisition. “I do think you’ll see us very active in business lending. We have money to lend and want to lend.”

As of Dec. 31, 2009, the bank had roughly $3.2 billion in assets and a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.17 percent, according to the FDIC. According to FDIC market share data as of June 30, 2009, the bank was the 11th largest FDIC-insured deposit institution in Washington and 27th largest in Oregon.

Dressel wouldn’t say whether the bank plans to close any of the newly acquired Central Oregon branches, saying the matter is still under review.

The bank has 85 branches companywide, primarily in the Puget Sound region.

Columbia Banking Systems is on a growth spurt. The week after it acquired Columbia River Bank, the company acquired American Marine Bank, on

Have you faced more competition since Whole Foods Market moved to town?

They’re probably our top serious competitor. We share a lot of customers. We provide a lot of things that they can’t, (and vice versa). We call them a lot. They call us. We do the right thing when it comes to the customers. I think now it’s becoming more synergistic. … (Same thing with) Trader Joe’s. It’s helped us in the long run. They’re teaching people to eat naturally. It brought a new customer to us, the informed consumer.

Q: A:

The help you give local producers sometimes goes beyond simply selling the product?

We’ve really been a place where local producers (can find some help) to get their product to market. We help coach them through to get into other markets. We ask them where they’re at with the product. (If they want their company to get bigger.) You just have to help them so they don’t get off course.

I really enjoy being that steward for other startups. I don’t do it for everybody. If it’s not natural or organic, it doesn’t exactly work for me.

Q:

With some people losing jobs or facing pay cuts because of the economic crisis, have you seen shoppers spend less? Has it had an effect here?

We’re dealing with local customers, the ones that have shopped here 20 years. The way that we stretch our pricing, we’re competitive. It’s a fair price. We sell some high-dollar items, but at the same time, we have bread and oranges and eggs, (selling for about the same prices as other grocery stores).

their human-generated translations, it could learn to make accurate guesses about how to translate new texts.

It turns out that this technique, which requires huge amounts of data and lots of computing horsepower, is right up Google’s alley.

“Our infrastructure is very well-suited to this,” Vic Gundotra, a vice president for engineering at Google, said. “We can take approaches that others can’t even dream of.”

Automated translation systems are far from perfect, and even Google’s will not put human translators out of a job anytime soon. Experts say it is exceedingly difficult for a computer to break a sentence into parts, then translate and reassemble them. But Google’s service is good enough to convey the essence of a newspaper article, and it has become a quick source for translations for

millions of people.

“If you need a rough-and-ready translation, it’s the place to go,” said Philip Resnik, a machine translation expert and associate professor of linguistics at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Because Google’s ads are ubiquitous online, anything that makes it easier for people to use the Web benefits the company.

And the system could lead to interesting new applications. Last week, the company said it would use speech recognition to generate captions for English-language YouTube videos, which could then be translated into 50 other languages.

“This technology can make the language barrier go away,” said Franz Och, a principal scientist at Google who leads the company’s machine translation team. “It would allow anyone to communicate with anyone else.”

Tanker Continued from B1 However, Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., who’s about to become the chairman of the powerful House of Representatives Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, said the bidding should be scrapped and the Air Force should negotiate a contract with Boeing.

“I am confident they can now utilize their authority to proceed with the procurement of KC-767 tankers as quickly as possible, negotiating a contract that will allow the Air Force to begin replacing its tanker fleet rapidly,” Dicks said.

Dicks also suggested that once the tanker is in production, he’d push to increase production levels from 15 a year to 20 to 25 a year in an effort to replace the current Cold War-era tankers as rapidly as possible.

Northrop’s decision was the latest development in the nearly nine-year effort to replace the tankers. Northrop-EADS won an earlier competition, but government auditors overturned

But Dressel said the bank is not a “serial acquirer” and has long-term interests in Central Oregon.

“We look for partners, and we knew we could build upon what Columbia River Bank had built,” Dressel said.

Of the four Oregon banks regulators have closed since February 2009, Columbia River Bank was the largest. It had total assets of $1.1 billion and total deposits of $1 billion in the reporting period before its closure.

Prineville-based Community First Bank was the first Central Oregon bank shut by regulators, in August. It had total assets of $210 million and total deposits of $178 million. It was acquired by Nampa, Idahobased Home Federal Bank.

Shares of Columbia Banking Systems closed Monday at $21.04, down 27 cents, or 1.27 percent, in Nasdaq trading.

the award after Boeing protested.

The initial contract is for 179 tankers, but the deal eventually could be worth $100 billion as the Air Force replaces about 600 tankers in what could be one of the largest Pentagon purchases ever.

In announcing that it wouldn’t bid, Northrop said the competition “clearly favors” Boeing’s tanker and denied the larger NorthropEADS tanker any “competitive opportunity.”

Wes Bush, Northrop’s chief executive, said in a statement that the company had a “fiduciary responsibility” to its shareholders. “Investing further resources to submit a bid would not be acting responsibly,” Bush said, adding that the company wouldn’t protest the latest request for bids.

Boeing said in a statement that it remains “100 percent” focused on the competition and plans to submit a “fully responsive, transparent and competitive” proposal.

AIG sells unit in effort to pay down its debt American International Group announced Monday the sale of one of its major global insurance units to MetLife for $15.5 billion, the latest step in the insurance giant’s quest to pay down its massive debt to U.S. taxpayers.

Under the complex agreement, MetLife will pay $6.8 billion in cash and the remainder in a mix of common and preferred stock to buy American Life Insurance Co., or Alico, which operates in more than 50 countries. The cash immediately will go toward paying down loans from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and AIG plans to sell the equity stakes over time to further reduce its debt.

Toyota defends its electronics WASHINGTON — Toyota, dogged by millions of recalls and claims that it still has not fixed its safety problems, took its strongest step yet Monday to silence critics who blame faulty electronics for runaway cars and trucks.

Toyota assembled a group of experts to refute studies by an Illinois professor who revved Toyota engines simply by shortcircuiting the wiring. Toyota’s experts say the experiments were done under conditions that would never happen on the road.

Prices Continued from B1 Global crude oil inventories have been slowly declining. But domestic inventories have been climbing and remain well above the five-year average for this time of year.

Gasoline supplies also remain ample, but prices at the pump have been rising along with oil prices. The average gallon of regular gas rose nearly a penny to $2.75 on Monday, up from just over $2.70 a week ago and $2.66 a month ago, according to a report compiled by AAA, the motorists’ group.

Gasoline prices typically go up in the spring as refiners retool and switch to more expensive summer blends of gasoline.

Demand and prices were particularly low this winter because of cold and stormy weather, and experts say they believe many drivers will be keen to take to the highway as spring blooms.

Still, high unemployment is keeping many commuters off the road, and putting a cap on discretionary driving.

In early morning trading on Monday, oil prices surged above $82 a barrel, but retreated later to settle at $81.87 a barrel, the highest closing

EU may create IMF-style lender BERLIN — European leaders are in talks to establish a lender of last resort and limits on credit-default swaps to bolster the euro area and prevent a repeat of the Greek financial crisis.

Plans for what may become the European Monetary Fund and a German-French push to curb the use of derivatives to bet against sovereign debt are to be ready by June, officials in Berlin and Brussels said Monday. In Greece, tax and trash collectors walked out as a week of strikes to protest austerity measures began. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her European counterparts are shifting from rhetoric to regulation as they seek to defend the euro and rally behind coordinated measures.

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said his country’s fiscal crisis could spread unless “unprincipled speculators� and “ill- regulated� financial markets are reined in. — From wire reports

price since Jan. 11. “It remains to be seen whether we can hold $80, since we’ve failed to hold it five times in the past five months,� said Addison A. Armstrong, senior director for market research at Tradition Energy, an energy broker in Stamford, Conn. “Given the low level of demand, gasoline inventories certainly aren’t tightening.�

Several international factors, however, are pushing oil prices higher. A Nigerian rebel group recently called off a three-month cease-fire, and attacks on oil production operations have resumed. In recent weeks, oil production in Nigeria has fallen by 85,000 barrels a day, more than 4 percent of normal output.

Meanwhile, China is building storage plants to amass emergency reserves while prices remain relatively low, raising expectations that China may import as much as 15 percent more oil this year.

There is little expectation that OPEC, the producers’ cartel, will alter supplies at its meeting later this month. The oil minister for Ecuador, Germanico A. Pinto, who is the current president of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, has said there is no need for members to cut shipments.

Arguments heard ahead of 4th death penalty trial

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

A Redmond man sentenced to death three times in a case that has gone to the U.S. Supreme Court was back in Deschutes County Circuit Court on Monday, as a judge heard arguments in advance of his upcoming fourth death penalty trial.

After more than two decades on death row, Randy Lee Guzek, 40, Randy Lee is scheduled Guzek to again stand before a Deschutes County jury in May. That jury will decide whether he should be sentenced to death, spend his life in prison without parole, or get a life sentence with a chance of parole in 10 years.

Guzek was sentenced to death, but the Oregon Supreme Court overturned the sentence the same year.

On Monday, Lane County Circuit Court Judge Jack Billings, who is presiding over the case, listened to the first of what is scheduled to be three days of arguments on a variety of motions filed in the case over the last several months.

Guzek was 18 years old when he was convicted in the murders of Rod and Lois Houser, of Terrebonne, in 1988. Guzek, who had dated the Housers’ niece, came to the couple’s home in the earlymorning hours of June 29, 1987, along with two other men. They pounded on the door until Rod Houser, 51, answered, and one of the men shot him at least 20 times, according to evidence presented at Guzek’s trial.

SALEM — State Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, says she will file today to run for the seat vacated by the death of state Treasurer Ben Westlund on Sunday.

Telfer, 60, who spoke with Westlund a week before his death, said her decision is Chris Telfer spurred by dozens of phone calls from friends and fellow lawmakers urging her to run. Because the filing deadline falls today, the certified public accountant said she decided to go for it.

“If I had a month, I might be sitting around thinking a little more,” she said. “But there’s no time.”

The death of Westlund, a longtime Tumalo lawmaker, came after months battling a recurrence of the lung cancer he’d beaten once in 2003.

As the district grapples with a more than $5 million budget gap for the 2010-11 school year, three Bend-La Pine Schools officials will travel to China this month to finalize a long-term teacher exchange agreement.

Superintendent Ron Wilkinson, Chief Academic Officer Vicki Van Buren and Summit High School Principal Lynn Baker will fly to China on March 19 and remain there throughout the district’s spring break, March 22-26.

While there, they will meet with education officials to formalize a 10-year agreement that will exchange local teachers with those in Yangzhou, a city 185 miles northwest of Shanghai, with approximately 4.6 million people.

Wilkinson said sending the three-person delegation indicates to the government that the district is taking the teacher exchange seriously.

“We are trying to form an ongoing teacher exchange, and it will be the final formal negotiations with Yangzhou’s vice-mayor to set up the program for the long term,” he said. “And we’ve got to do this face-to-face or it’s considered disrespectful.”

Spokeswoman Julianne Repman said the round-trip airline tickets are $1,654 each, and that $4,962 is the only anticipated cost to the district.

“We may be buying dinner for the hosts, one dinner,” Repman said. “The three people going are paying for their own meals and are not taking a per diem.”

In Bend, the service will be at 2 p.m. Friday at The Riverhouse Convention Center, on Mt. Washington Drive, west of the intersection of U.S. Highway 97.

The Salem service will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Capital House Chambers, at 900 Court St. N.E. Contributions in memoriam may be made to the Opportunity Foundation of Central Oregon, P.O. Box 430, Redmond, OR 97756.

A former Deschutes County deputy district attorney has announced that he will challenge District Attorney Mike Dugan in the May election — making it the first contested race for the position in more than 15 years.

Patrick Flaherty, an attorney with the Patrick Bend law firm Flaherty of Wright, Van Handel & Flaherty, said Monday he’s running for the job because he believes it’s time to have someone new running the DA’s Office.

He said he’d been considering the move for a while but was pushed to file for office when he saw Dugan campaigning for Measures 66 and 67 in the leadup to the January election.

Crews search for hiker near Bonneville Dam STEVENSON, Wash. — Two helicopters from the Coast Guard and Washington National Guard helped in Monday’s search for a 24-year-old Portland woman missing near Bonneville Dam in Washington’s Skamania County.

Undersheriff Dave Cox says no fresh clues were found Monday. He says search efforts will resume this morning.

Kathrine Huether texted a friend Thursday afternoon that she was at a trailhead and going for a hike. The search began Friday, after she was reported overdue.

Cox says searchers found their first clue Sunday when a searcher found a credit card receipt with Huether’s name on it about four miles north of Bonneville Dam in the Table Mountain area.

Cox says there’s nothing to indicate Huether might be a vic-

tim of a crime; she’s just lost.

Monday’s searchers included nine dog teams and five additional ground search teams involving about 50 people.

Rail line reopens after derailment WILSON CREEK, Wash. — A rail line that closed in eastern Washington after a 24-car derailment has reopened.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe spokesman Gus Melonas says the line reopened at 5 p.m.

Sunday.

No one was hurt when the 110-car train traveling from Florence, Minn., to Seattle derailed Saturday morning near Wilson Creek, about 18 miles north of Moses Lake. However, it blocked the single track, used by about 20 freight and Amtrak trains daily.

The train was carrying corn, which was taken to a nearby grain elevator. — From wire reports

O Faith healers sentenced to 16 months for son’s death

By Abby Haight The Associated Press

Rick Bowmer / The Associated Press

A sea lion swims in the Columbia River near Bonneville Dam on Monday in North Bonneville, Wash.

After trying other methods to keep sea lions from eating endangered salmon, wildlife officials began last year issuing death sentences to the most chronic offenders.

Sea lions being euthanized for eating too many salmon

By Abby Haight The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Wildlife officials have tried everything to keep sea lions from eating endangered salmon, dropping bombs that explode under water and firing rubber bullets and bean bags from shotguns and boats. Now they are resorting to issuing death sentences to the most chronic offenders.

A California sea lion last week became the first salmon predator to be euthanized this year under a program that has been denounced by those who say there are far greater dangers to salmon — including the series of hydroelectric dams on the Columbia.

This is the second year of the program, which is administered by wildlife officials in Oregon and Washington and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Last year, 11 sea lions were euthanized.

Another four were transferred to zoos or aquariums.

The sea lions represent a massive headache each year as chinook salmon begin arriving at the Bonneville Dam east of Portland, congregating in large numbers as they return from the ocean. Sea lions have become keenly aware that the dam is a great spot to feast on salmon, easy pickings as they wait to go up the dam’s fish ladders.

“They learn. They come up here and know it’s a good place to eat, and sooner or later the salmon are going to arrive,” said Robert Stansell, a fisheries biologist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Repeat offenders Officials are tracking 63 additional sea lions listed as repeat offenders. They are identified by scars or by numbers that were branded on them by researchers.

“To get on that list, we have to have observed them as distinct individuals,” said Jessica Sall, spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“They are not responding to hazing, and they’re eating chinook salmon.”

Sea lions have gobbled salmon

“They are not responding to hazing, and they’re eating chinook salmon.”

— Jessica Sall, spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife forever. But their numbers have soared in recent years, as has the number of those cruising upriver to dine on salmon at Bonneville Dam. Frustrations peaked, especially among fishermen who have watched sea lions snatch salmon right out of their gill nets.

The Bonneville crowd of hefty mammals — they can reach more than 600 pounds and 8 feet in length — have become the enemy of commercial and sport fisherman, who are allowed to catch and keep hatchery-raised fish, and a concern for conservationists trying to restore migratory runs, since sea lions don’t distinguish between hatchery and wild fish.

At least three of the upper Columbia River spring salmon runs that pass through the dam are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, most significantly the spring chinook salmon run.

The sea lions’ growing numbers forced state, federal and tribal agencies to intensify efforts to protect the region’s multibilliondollar salmon recovery program.

The sea lions are protected by a 1972 federal law, but an amendment leaves open the possibility that some can be captured or killed if the states request it.

Oregon and Washington did in 2006 with the support of Indian tribes and sport and commercial fishing groups.

Two years ago, the National Marine Fisheries Service authorized Oregon and Washington officials to first attempt to catch the sea lions that arrive at the base of Bonneville Dam and hold them 48 hours to see whether an

aquarium, zoo or similar facility will take them.

Otherwise, they could be euthanized, along with those that avoid trapping. Only California sea lions can be destroyed. Stellar sea lions cannot be killed because they are protected under the Endangered Species Act. Supporters say the program works. The numbers of sea lions at the dam have dropped, although the 4,489 salmon they ate last year was the highest since tracking began in 2002.

Critics, led by the Humane Society of the United States, say that a far greater danger to salmon are hydroelectric dams on the Columbia, which are an obstacle to salmon both as they head out to sea and when they return from the ocean to spawn.

The Humane Society also says fishermen catch three times as many salmon as sea lions eat.

Collecting data The Columbia River InterTribal Fish Commission this year has begun tracking the sea lions’ movements with acoustic transmitters and cameras placed along the river. Instead of just reacting to the sea lions, the data might help authorities plan a more successful campaign, a fisheries scientist says.

“All of the counts that you hear, all of the impact on salmon, is based on what they can see from the dam,” said Doug Hatch, of the inter-tribal commission.

“That doesn’t account for the whole 150 river miles below the dam.”

The frustration comes as experts predict the largest spring chinook run since 1938. Thanks to good ocean conditions for young salmon, an expected 470,000 fish will head up the Columbia River, compared to 169,300 in 2009.

The primary weapon against the sea lions still remains hazing, but even that has limitations.

“The problem is, as soon as the boats go around the corner, they’re right back,” Stansell said.

“Some of the animals that have been there a long time don’t even move when they get hit in the back with a rubber bullet. They just keep eating their fish.”

O B Deputy slightly hurt in traffic accident BEAVERTON — A Washington County sheriff’s deputy received minor injuries in a traffic accident Monday morning in Beaverton.

Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. David Thompson says Deputy Dan Muehlek was responding to an alarm at a business overnight when his patrol car was struck by a minivan. He tells The Oregonian that Muehlek received bumps and bruises and was released after being treated at a hospital.

Thompson says the driver of the minivan was not injured and was not cited.

AG hires domestic violence prosecutor SALEM — Oregon Attorney General John Kroger has hired a domestic violence prosecutor.

Kroger says in a news release Monday that Erin Greenawald will fill a new position at the state’s Department of Justice.

She has worked since 1999 as a domestic violence prosecutor, first in Marion County and then in Yamhill County.

Kroger says there is an overwhelming need to combat domestic violence in the state. He says there were at least 22 domestic violence homicides in Oregon last year and nine so far in 2010.

Phony officer stopped car, Aurora police say AURORA — Aurora police are looking for a man who posed as a police officer and pulled over a car.

Officers say the impersonator was driving a dark-colored car and used a flashing blue light to signal the driver to stop Saturday night. Officer Scott Reilly says the phony officer asked to see the man’s drivers license, registration and insurance information, but returned the documents and left after the driver questioned his credentials.

The Oregonian says the impostor was not wearing any patches or badge, and his car had no markings or license plate.

Aurora police say they don’t know his motive for stopping the car. Reilly says officers have no reason to suspect he’s the same man who posed as a police employee and abducted two women

in Portland on Thursday. Both women escaped.

Woodburn police: man cut at wedding party WOODBURN — Woodburn police say a man is in critical condition after an altercation at a wedding party.

Police were called to a residence early Sunday on a report of an armed man. They found no one had been shot, but that 26-year-old Jose Orozco had been cut in the lower torso.

He was airlifted to a Portland hospital.

Officers from six agencies surrounded the home after learning 10 people were still inside. Woodburn police say they were able to persuade some to come outside, but others remained. A tactical unit then entered the home and removed five people.

Police say several people arrived at the residence during a wedding party and at least two allegedly forced their way in. Two men were arrested for investigation of burglary, but not for injuring Orozco. Officers continue to investigate the incident.

OREGON CITY — The judge who sentenced an Oregon couple to prison Monday for the death of their son says members of their church must quit relying on faith healing when their children’s lives are at stake.

“The fact is, too many children have died unnecessarily — a graveyard full,” Judge Steven Maurer said. “This has to stop.”

Maurer spoke in a quiet, unemotional voice as he led up to his conclusion: Jeffrey and Marci Beagley each should serve 16 months in prison. Members of the Followers of Christ church who packed the courtroom sobbed.

The Beagleys were earlier convicted of criminally negligent homicide in the June 2008 death of their 16-year-old son, Neil, of complications from a congenital urinary tract blockage. The condition normally is easily treated.

Members of their church avoid most medical care and instead rely on rituals such as anointing sick people with oil and laying hands on them.

In ordering prison terms, Maurer reflected changes made in Oregon law a decade ago stipulating that freedom of religious practices is not an excuse to shun medical treatment for a dangerously ill child. The changes were a result of the deaths of children in Followers of Christ families.

The church’s small cemetery near the end of the Oregon Trail includes row after row of headstones marking the graves of children.

Doug Beghtel / The Oregonian

Jeffrey and Marci Beagley are taken into custody and led out of the courtroom Monday in the Clackamas County Courthouse in Oregon City after they were sentenced to 16 months in prison for criminally negligent homicide in the death of their 16-year-old son.

Maurer said the community is tolerant of the church, and he emphasized the sentences were not an indictment of it.

“We must keep in mind that this crime was one in which a child died,” Maurer said. “This was a situation where the community was counting on his parents to understand the boundaries of their faith.”

The Beagleys’ attorneys said they would appeal.

“This case is not a referendum on religion,” defense attorney Wayne Mackeson said. “To me, it’s a battle in a larger war — seeing that justice is done.”

Neil Beagley was described as a bright, confident boy who loved his church and fixing cars.

He became ill as the blockage trapped toxic waste in his body.

His parents testified they thought he had a cold or the flu.

Medical experts say the boy’s kidneys were destroyed and his organs shut down.

Just months earlier, the Beagleys’ granddaughter, 15-month-old Ava Worthington, died from pneumonia and a blood infection that also could have been treated. Her parents, Raylene and Carl Brent Worthington, were acquitted of manslaughter. Carl Brent Worthington served two months in jail for criminal mistreatment.

They were in the courtroom Monday. Before the sentencing, Marci Beagley dabbed at her eyes as she huddled with Raylene Worthington and several other women.

Westlund was an Oregon original

B

en Westlund was one of Oregon’s most engaging public figures, a man whose stamp on Central Oregon will long outlive him. Westlund died Sunday morning after a long

fight against lung cancer.

If there is a monument to Westlund, it is surely OSU-Cascades Campus in Bend. Though it took the efforts of dozens, if not hundreds, of people to bring the capstone campus here, it survived its first few years thanks in large part to Westlund and his tireless work in the state Legislature. Every student at OSU-Cascades owes him a debt.

Westlund’s career in politics was unusual. He was a political peripatetic, a Republican-turned-independentturned-Democrat who served in the House, the Senate, ran for the governor’s office and, in 2008, was elected state treasurer. In this last capacity, he served admirably, even while battling the recurrence of cancer that ultimately claimed his life.

Westlund’s temporary successor will be appointed by Gov. Ted Kulongoski in the coming days, and voters will elect a permanent replacement in November. We hope the governor chooses someone who will agree in advance not to run this fall so that Oregonians may choose Westlund’s successor from candidates who enter the race on equal terms.

Meanwhile, although his political shifts made for good news stories, we’ll remember Ben Westlund most for who he was.

It’s hard to imagine a more gregarious individual, a trait that was as natural to him as the color of his eyes.

Westlund never met a stranger he didn’t like. He had a hail-fellow-wellmet air about him, and he was almost never at a loss for words, no matter how complex the subject. Just ask anyone who discussed health care reform with him in recent years.

That gregariousness and a strong

Although his political shifts made for good news stories, we’ll remember Ben Westlund most for who he was. It’s hard to imagine a more gregarious individual, a trait that was as natural to him as the color of his eyes. Westlund never met a stranger he didn’t like. sense of humor made him the perfect keynote speaker at a small high school graduation in 2001, where, he clearly understood, the usual platitudes simply would not do. Instead, Westlund sat down among the handful of graduates and read them a book by Dr. Seuss, “Oh, The Places You’ll Go.” It was funny, it was fitting and it was memorable in the most pleasant of ways. And it was vintage Westlund.

If there’s such a thing as a political personality, Westlund had it in spades.

There was that gregariousness. There was also an ability to associate names and seldom-seen faces that’s the hallmark of others in his field. And there was one of the most important features of many really good politicians, a thick skin that allowed him to take criticism and still smile at his critics.

He will be missed.

Be honest with voters about Bend tax choice

L

ast Wednesday, the city of Bend stared right in the face of public skepticism about new taxes.

The city did a poll of Bend voters to measure support for different options for funding public safety. Most surveyed voters said they were unwilling to pay more taxes to avoid cuts.

That’s not what city staff wanted to hear. Bend faces a financial cliff.

Even by cutting its work force by 18 percent, it anticipates a shortfall of $21 million in the general fund over the next six years. Without a change, it’s going to be hard to keep up levels for police and fire protection.

Majorities of surveyed voters were not inclined to support any option to increase taxes. They didn’t like a proposal to increase taxes by 41 cents per thousand of assessed property value and annex the city fire department to the rural fire district. Voters didn’t like a similar five-year local option levy for police and fire. Trying another approach, the city had pollsters

ask voters about a general obligation bond for sewer, water and street improvements. Opposition was strong for that, too.

There was majority support, though, for a tax neutral proposal to take the 27 cents per thousand of assessed value that voters are paying now for downtown urban renewal and reauthorize it in two years — when it expires — for public safety.

Councilor Jeff Eager made an important point about the voter response to that option. If it had been more clear to voters they were facing the choice between continuing the tax and a tax cut, the polled voters would have been less likely to support it.

Councilors and city staff wouldn’t be much good at their jobs if they didn’t know how to make what they’re selling palatable to the public. But when the city does decide what it wants to do about funding for public safety, it should be nothing less than honest with voters about the choice they face.

My Nickel’s Worth Union demands A recent issue of The Bulletin stated teachers have filed a grievance protesting sick leave policy. This is a shining example of state workers and their unions making ridiculous demands on the taxpayer.

The recent passage of tax measures that failed in all Eastern Oregon counties, but passed with the support of counties with the most state employees, is another sign of out-of-control public employees and their unions.

They already have an excessively liberal retirement system. After 30 years of employment, many are entitled to retirement at full pay. By comparison, a member of the armed forces who serves 30 years is only entitled to 75 percent of his base pay. Other pay benefits he/she has during service time are not included in retirement pay.

It is past time for government to tighten its belt, reform PERS, eliminate many liberal programs and stop threatening to throw our kids under the bus every time a tax increase measure arises.

ODOT bullies Bullies win. Despite concerns voiced by the numerous emergency response groups, Jefferson County community, Crooked River Ranch association officials and concerned CRR residents, ODOT announced the closure of the Wimp Way access to Highway 97 effective Feb. 2. They mention the fact that the newly installed gates could be opened in an emergency. But how much valuable time could be lost at someone’s expense? It will be just a short matter of time before a seri-

ous accident or fatality occur due to the increased traffic flow placed on the intersection of Lower Bridge and Highway 97, as people try to squeeze out onto Highway 97 in order to travel north, dodging oncoming traffic from the north as well as traffic turning onto Lower Bridge from the south.

The officials who have made these decisions should play this game of Russian roulette a few times in order to feel the excitement! I would guess that it may take a major lawsuit following a traffic accident or fatality to reopen this issue, and hopefully hold the person accountable for this ill fated move. Imagine the increased congestion when the new development proceeds at the Old Lower Bridge mine site. I hope ODOT is proud of itself, as it has won this round. I just hope it is not at the cost of human life. This is not a personal attack on anyone or group of individuals, but rather a statement regarding the system’s lack of ability to look at the total picture!

Bad analogy On Feb. 11, The Bulletin stated that allowing a child the opportunity to walk to a school as part of the magnet school lottery process is like giving somebody a better shot at winning the Oregon Lottery. This is far from a just analysis. Let’s look at the facts associated with the magnet school lottery.

The facts are that three older schools that used to serve their neighborhood children were turned into magnet schools. The children in magnet school neighborhoods were then, most often, either put on a bus or taken by their parents to elementary schools miles away. This raised questions that Bend-

La Pine Schools made a value-based decision on. Here are some of the questions that were evaluated. Should we really punish a child just because they live by a magnet school zone? Should we make a child that could walk to school take a bus while similar children in a different neighborhood can walk to school with their friends? Do the citizens of Bend want our children sitting in buses and cars or having more time to learn and play? Is promoting a healthy neighborhood something this town supports? Is it really the position of The Bulletin that none of these issues should be taken into account?

Is the state Lottery really a good analogy for something that affects our children?

Teacher perks If I am reincarnated, I want to come back as a teacher, for two reasons. The first is that it is a noble and important profession. It probably has the biggest influence on the success or failure of our young people, next to parenting.

The second reason is that there is a lot of time off. According to what I read, our teachers work only 1,520 hours a year.

Using a 40 hour workweek, that is only 38 weeks a year. In addition they can take 80 hours of paid sick time, which accumulates, and 24 hours in paid personal time. Sounds great doesn’t it?

We taxpayers foot the bill, but the biggest impact is on the students. Our students have a minimal length school year anyway, and then might have substitute teachers up to 104 hours during that already shortened year. What am I missing here?

Would-be Christmas bomber tests our civil liberties B y Dick Phay Bulletin guest columnist

I

n 1776, Thomas Jefferson listed in his writing of the Declaration of Independence the following grievances against Britain, and specifically King George III: Grievance 12: “He (King George III) has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.”

Grievance 18: “For depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.”

Grievance 19: “For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

One of the major grievances our Founding Fathers had against the British, grievances that eventually led to the American Revolution, was the practice

of arresting American colonists, transporting them to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, to be tried in an Admiralty Court, a military rather than a civil court, denying them a trial by jury. As a result of the British abuse of the right to a fair, jury trial, the U.S. Constitution contains a number of items safeguarding fair, jury trials in this country: Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2: “The privilege of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.”

Article 3, Section 2, Clause 3: “The trial of all crimes shall be by jury and such trials shall be held in the state where the said crime shall have been committed.”

Amendment 6: “In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the

IN MY VIEW right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.”

Amendment 14: “Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protections of the laws.”

During the Civil War (1864) Lamdin P. Milligan, a northern Confederate sympathizer, was arrested by Union troops in Huntington, Ind., then tried and convicted of treason by a military court and sentenced to be hanged.

In 1866, following the end of the war, the Supreme Court heard arguments in the Milligan case. The court was con-

fronted with a basic concept of American liberty, whether or not a military court had the legal, constitutional right and power to try a civilian during war time.

The court decided that, since martial law had not been declared in Indiana and the civil courts were open and operating in that state, a military tribunal did not have the legal authority to try a civilian even in times of war or rebellion. Milligan had been denied his habeas corpus rights as well as his right to a trial by an impartial jury.

Trial by jury is so essential to our concept of a free and democratic society that it is not only mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, but is guaranteed in the original Constitution as well as in the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment. Any American who

sincerely believes in the Constitution should not be hasty in succumbing to the hysteria presently demanding that the Christmas airline bomber be tried by a military court, an act that would be illegal and unconstitutional. In essence, we would be turning our personal right to a fair trial over to the military, the second step on a very slippery slope, the first step being the existence of a standing army, which, at present, is highly privatized and profit oriented.

Those who cherish their liberties, their individual rights, guaranteed by the Constitution, should seriously consider the possible future loss of those rights if we as a nation turn the responsibility of our civilian courts over to military tribunals.

Lois P. Bloom

August 9, 1912 - March 3, 2010

Lois P. Bloom, born December 18, 1933, died Sunday, January 17, 2010, just after celebrating her 76th birthday. Lois was preceded in death by her husband, Leroy V. Bloom; both parents, Alex and Henrietta Breitgham; a brother and sister as infants; and two older brothers, Leroy Breitgham Lois P. Bloom in World War II and Harold Breitgham.

She is survived by three sisters: Carolyn Doucette of Yakima, Washington; Dorothy Connell of Portland, OR; and Sharon Schonewell of Yakima, WA; and one brother, Virgil Breitgham, also of Yakima, WA; her two children, Lowell Bloom of Yakima, WA, and Laurie (Sunny) Hisel of Bend, OR; six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Lois was born and raised in Yakima, WA, where she graduated from Davis High School in 1951. After moving to Portland, OR, she met Leroy Bloom and married him on December 22, 1963.

She devoted her life to others, working at home to provide the best for her husband and children.

She enjoyed gardening, bowling, card and other games.

Mom, you loved us so much and will be remembered for how you taught us to think of the little things, how to get the bacon just right, how to decorate a home, bake a cake, hug real big. Your family and friends will miss your smile, your jokes, and how you could reach out to those who needed to be accepted for who they were at the moment.

A private memorial will be held at a later date.

Evelyn (Evie) Courlette Allen, 97, passed from this life on the evening of Wednesday, Evelyn (Evie) Courlette Allen, at Gibson Creek Retirement Residence in Salem, Oregon surrounded by loving members of her family.

Evelyn was born in Fargo, North Evelyn Allen Dakota on August 9, 1912, and was the youngest of six children born to Henry and Ingeborg Hanson. Evelyn moved with her family to Bend, Oregon when she was eleven years old, when the population there was only 500, and she saw many changes as Bend grew in size. Her parents passed away within a year of each other when she was only in her mid-teens.

She married the love of her life, Doran Allen, when she was 20, and they had six children.

Evelyn dedicated her early years to providing a warm and loving home for her husband and children. Doran died suddenly in 1969, when Evelyn was 57. Several years later, Evelyn met a wonderful man, Leonard Langliers, who shared her life until his death in 1996, the same year both of her beloved sons passed away. With Leonard, Evelyn began a second life filled with fun that included joining many social clubs and activities, bowling, dancing, traveling, and learning to drive at the age of 61. She loved life, and lived with joy and enthusiasm. In 2002, Evelyn moved to Salem to be closer to her surviving family living in the Valley. She had a life-long deep faith, and was a member of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Bend.

Evelyn dearly loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, having a special relationship with each one, and was in turn deeply loved by them. All who knew her, even if briefly, sensed her loving, caring, and accepting nature. In recent years, she counted among her many friends the kind staff and residents at Gibson Creek, where she spent the final 6 ½ years of her life. She was greatly loved, and her presence in this world will be missed by many people.

Evelyn was preceded in death by her husband, Doran L. Allen; her five brothers, Oscar, Harold, Stan, Walt, and Alph Hanson and all of their wives; and her two sons, Ron (survived by daughter in-law Carolyn), and Dick Allen. She is survived by her four daughters, Jeanne Molina and husband, Lino of Vancouver, WA; Courlette Swensen and husband, Dick, and Sandra Tarter and husband, Hank, both families of Keizer, OR; Ann Memory of Portland, OR; and 14 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren.

There will be a celebration of Evelyn's life at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 20, 2010 at Keizer Funeral Chapel.

Interment will be at Pilot Butte Cemetery in Bend.

Where Buyers And Sellers Meet

H HEALTH

Dec. 18, 1933 - Jan. 17, 2010

Flaherty Continued from C1 Flaherty said he’s concerned about the office getting too political.

“I think we need a district attorney who’s got the knowledge, skill and experience to lead from inside the courtroom, prosecuting cases, and outside the courtroom, working with law enforcement,” he said.

“I’m willing and able to get the job done with the resources available.”

Flaherty, 53, grew up in the Portland area and received his undergraduate and law degrees at the University of Oregon. He worked as a judicial clerk in Clackamas County and as a prosecutor in Lincoln County before moving to Bend to work at the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office in 1992.

In 1995, Flaherty was promoted to chief deputy district attorney and remained in that position until he left the office in 2001 to join his wife in a private law firm.

Architect behind nation’s tallest building

By Blair Kamin Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Bruce Graham, the hard-driving architect of the Willis Tower, once the world’s tallest building, and the John Hancock Center, the Xbraced giant that became a symbol of C h i c a g o ’s Bruce i ndu s t r i a l Graham might, died Saturday at his home in Hobe Sound, Fla. He was 84 years old. The cause of death was complications from Alzheimer’s disease, said his son George.

At the peak of his influence, from the 1960s through the 1980s, Graham was the top man at Chicago’s biggest architectural firm, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.

Besides the Willis (originally Sears) Tower and the Hancock Center, which bracket Chicago’s skyline like enormous black parentheses, Graham played a major role in designing such landmark structures as the Inland Steel Building and the 1986 expansion of McCormick Place.

Reviewing Sears Tower in 1974, the late Chicago Tribune architecture critic Paul Gapp called the skyscraper “a building whose exterior profiles are a bold, vital and exciting departure from orthodox mediocrity.”

Flaherty said he takes issue with the way Dugan has handled some cases during his 23 years in office. As an example, he pointed to the case of David Black, who was convicted of manslaughter in 2004 in connection with a drag racing incident in which two teenage girls died.

“Cases like David Black show the district attorney believes his duty is to merely convict people, not seek justice,” Flaherty said. “It’s time for a district attorney that understands what prosecutorial discretion means.”

The district attorney is a nonpartisan office, and the filing deadline for the office is today at 5 p.m. If one candidate wins a majority of votes in the May primary election, he or she will win the seat. If there are multiple candidates on the May ballot, the top two vote-getters will move on to the November election.

China Continued from C1 Repman said traditionally the Chinese government pays for all travel within the country, as well as meals and lodging.

“In some situations they may pay up front and in other situations they may pay us back,” she said.

Wilkinson said he and Baker will also bring their wives on the trip, although they will pay their own way.

Government officials will pay for the delegation’s four-night stay in Yangzhou, and Repman said it’s likely the government will also pay for the group’s additional expenses in Beijing and Shanghai, where Wilkinson said the group will also spend time.

The delegation will meet with the mayor and the vice-mayor of Yangzhou, which Repman said is equivalent to meeting with the state governor and deputy governor. According to Sisters High School Mandarin teacher Dave Perkins, face-to-face communication is very important in Chinese culture.

“The Chinese are very big on relationships, they want to see you and touch hands with you and not just sign a paper with someone who is 10,000 miles away,” he said. “It definitely means a lot and shows a lot of earnestness if people got on an airplane and flew over.”

The trip comes as district officials are working to close a more than $5 million budget gap for the 2010-11 school year. District officials have said they’ll

Telfer Continued from C1 Had it occurred three days later, leadership of the major political parties would have selected nominees for the May 18 primary.

Instead, several candidates, including Democrats and Republicans, are expected to file for the primary election by today’s 5 p.m. deadline. Already, retiring Sen. Rick Metsger, DWelches, has filed on the Democratic side.

Until the seat is filled in the November general election, an interim treasurer, selected by Gov. Ted Kulongoski, will hold the position.

Telfer’s entry is notable because she successfully ran for Westlund’s old Senate seat when he left it to run for treasurer rather than for re-election. And like Westlund, a Democrat who was a former Republican, she has changed parties. The longtime Democrat changed her registration to Republican in 2007, while serving on the Bend City Council. Asked her greatest similarity to Westlund, she said, “I think the thing we have in common is we are friendly people, we listen to all different perspectives.”

However, she said she would try to be more active than Westlund on issues such as helping Oregon businesses and cutting the state’s level of bonded

ask teachers and staff to make concessions and likely reduce funding to textbooks, technology and other budget items.

Repman said the travel costs will come from the administrative travel fund. The fund includes about $600 for each fulltime administrator and provides funding for staff development, training and conferences, Repman said.

While Wilkinson said he is looking to cut costs around the district, he believes the relationship with Yangzhou is important to helping the district be globally competitive.

“I think our focus, in terms of offering a world-class education, this is an important piece,” Wilkinson said. “We’ve said through the entire budget process that we don’t want to lose focus on what’s important. … This will have a long-term impact.”

Summit High School began offering Mandarin language and culture classes in fall 2008, when Andrew Wang arrived at the high school. For the 2009-10 school year, MaryKatie Wang joined the Summit faculty to take over Andrew Wang’s position. And in February, High Desert Middle School teacher Katie Ford traveled to Yangzhou to teach conversational English.

“What I’ve been hearing from Katie is that there is tremendous value” in teaching internationally, Wilkinson said. “We’re taking one more step in understanding international education.”

indebtedness.

“I just think I’ve got a skill set that’s needed for that position,” she said. “I think as a CPA I have something to offer.”

She said that running for higher office just over a year after she took the job would be a natural progression and would allow her to help more people.

“I’m still going to serve my constituents and Oregonians,” she said. “I just think you hear a call and you answer the call, and if the state’s in need of something and I have something to offer, I’m going to jump in and offer it.”

The treasurer’s post has not been held by a Republican since 1993. However, many political analysts are predicting Republicans to fare well in the 2010 election cycle.

Kulongoski is expected to announce today his choice to serve as interim treasurer, which would give that person a leg up in the race to serve out Westlund’s term. On Monday night, two names batted about in Democratic circles included Sen. Richard Devlin, D-Tualatin, and former state Rep. Greg MacPherson, D-Lake Oswego. A past ally of Kulongoski, MacPherson lost to John Kroger in the 2008 Democratic primary for state attorney general.

ROCK SLIDE CLOSES COLORADO INTERSTATE

Joe Amon / The Denver Post

Colorado Department of Transportation crew members watch the mountain for more falling rocks Monday as others drill holes to set explosives in boulders on Interstate 70 near Glenwood Springs, Colo., after an overnight slide deposited large rocks and hit a bridge, closing a 17-mile stretch of the road. I-70 is the major route connecting Denver to the West Coast and carries 25,000 drivers daily.

Guzek Continued from C1 Guzek chased Lois Houser, 49, up a flight of stairs, shooting her twice as she ran and then a third time as she tried to hide in a closet. The men then attempted to make the deaths look like a ritual murder by stabbing Lois Houser and putting the knife and an open Bible in her husband’s hands.

In 1991 and 1997, two new juries both found that he should receive the death penalty, but both decisions were reversed because of issues about evidence presented or blocked from the trials.

The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which in 2005 overturned an Oregon Supreme Court ruling that evidence about Guzek not being present at the Housers’ home at the time of the murders should have been allowed in the third sentencing trial.

Recent motions filed in the case range from challenges to Oregon’s death penalty to a request to have the trial held outside Deschutes County to an attempt to get one of the defense

attorneys removed because prosecutors believe he suffers from a sleep disorder.

Guzek wore a Deschutes County Jail jumpsuit, handcuffs and a stun belt as he sat quietly in court on Monday. Three prison guards and two sheriff’s deputies watched over him during the court proceedings.

Billings threw out the motion about the attorney and then spent most of Monday listening to an expert witness called by the defense to testify about the behavior of death penalty jurors and the likelihood of those jurors to sentence a defendant to death in the “penalty phase” of a trial — the type of trial scheduled for Guzek.

Dr. Wanda Foglia, a professor at Rowan University in New Jersey, said her research has found that many jurors on capital cases decide whether a defendant should get the death penalty before the trial reaches the sentencing phase. She said she has not researched cases like Guzek’s, where a defendant has been convicted and sentenced to death several times, but said she believes jurors might be more inclined to opt for the death pen-

alty than life in prison because of the history of the case. “(Jurors are) going to see the judge as the authority in the room, and they’re going to assume, ‘OK, the judge is telling us he must be guilty,’” Foglia said. “They’re going to hear evidence of guilt and think, ‘OK, he must be deserving of the death penalty.’”

Billings said he might consider Foglia’s testimony as he makes decisions about jury questionnaires and other matters.

Guzek’s accomplices in the murders, James Michael Wilson and Donald Ross Cathey, pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and agreed to testify against Guzek to avoid the death penalty. Both men are serving life sentences in state prison.

If Guzek is sentenced to death for a fourth time and the punishment is carried out, he would be the first person executed in Oregon since 1997.

Hearings on the matter are scheduled to resume in court this morning.

Championship road racing for the rest of us D HEATHER

on’t get me wrong. I love watching the fast guys go fast. The elite road national championships present an exceptional opportunity to be wowed by some of the nation’s top-tier men and women as well as up-and-coming young riders as they go at it for U.S. cycling supremacy.

But for most riders, even the really good weekend-warrior types, participating in a championship race at that level is a bit out of our league. We have jobs, we have families, and our wattage numbers aren’t popping off the charts. And

maybe, we’re just old(er).

Which is why hosting the 2011 and 2012 USA Cycling Masters Road National Championships is such a catch for local riders — particularly for those competitive cyclists who race at a step or two,

or three, below the nation’s pro/elite level.

Although a verbal commitment had been announced months ago, USA Cycling late last month finally inked an official two-year deal with Bend to host the masters road national championships in 2011 and 2012. The weeklong event is scheduled for Aug. 30-Sept. 4 in its first year in Bend and for Aug. 27-Sept. 2 in the second year.

The agreement between USA Cycling, the sport’s national governing body, and Visit Bend, the city’s tourism arm, will bring to Central Oregon an event that is

expected to attract more than 800 competitors and 2,500 spectators to the area both years in the week leading up to Labor Day weekend. This year, the championships are scheduled to take place in Louisville, Ky. According to USA Cycling, it was Bend’s warm reception and smooth handling of the Junior, U23 and Elite Road Nationals and the Cyclocross National Championships, both held here in 2009, that earned our community yet another round of championship racing.

Let’s face it. Dodgeball is brutal.

Though many of us can recall visions of fifth-grade gym class, where the slam jam resulted in only a few casualties, adult dodgeball looks a lot different.

When 150 to 200 pounds of muscle launches a heavy 8.5inch-diameter rubber ball through the air COMMUNITY and that ball connects with a body part, it’s SPORTS going to hurt a little.

“It’s painful,” says Joseph Shinn, 36, of Bend, during the first night of the Spring 2010 Coed Dodgeball League at the Morning Star Christian School in southeast Bend.

“I got hit in the face and shot in the back by somebody,” says Shinn, who plays for the Smolich Snipers, a team

Wreck paints NASCAR into corner Cleveland’s Mo Williams brings the ball up against San Antonio’s George Hill during Monday’s game in Cleveland.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The boys sure backed NASCAR into a corner on this one.

Determined to give drivers more leeway this season when it came to policing each other on the track, NASCAR opened the year with a relaxed “boys, have at it” attitude. It was interpreted to mean NASCAR would look the other way at a nudge here, a spin there, and all the retaliatory bumping and banging that goes on over a very long season.

No one could have predicted, though, that NASCAR’s first true test would come a mere four races into the season following a frightening accident at Atlanta.

NASCAR on Monday found itself smack in the center of a dilemma over what to do with Carl Edwards, whose intentional wrecking of Brad Keselowski late in Sunday’s race ignited a heated debate about just what’s permitted under this new policy.

Emotions are high in almost every corner, and no decision NASCAR makes will satisfy everyone.

What first must be figured out, though, is what is everyone is so upset about?

Is it that Edwards returned to the track down 153 laps, intent on retaliating against Keselowski, and after trying for at least one full lap, finally succeeded with a deliberate nudge?

“All I gotta say is, ‘Ouch!’ ” exclaims Smolich teammate Michael Ivens, 34, of Bend. “I skinned my knee and took one in the jimmy. It’s definitely not a smoker’s sport,” he adds, admitting that he smokes.

“Guys are intense about everything,” says Kaila Brothers, 25, of Bend, who plays for the Subaru of Bend team. “You can take the easiest sport and they make it a conquest. They’re crazy.”

Dodgeball is typically played with six players on each team (eight in the Central Oregon league, two of whom have to be female).

S B Basketball • UConn wins NCAA record 71st straight game: Tina Charles, Maya Moore and the latest Connecticut Huskies dynasty now has its own place in the record books. Charles scored 16 points and Moore added 11 to help top-ranked Connecticut win an NCAA record 71st straight game — a 59-44 victory over No. 6 Notre Dame on Monday night in the semifinals of the Big East tournament. UConn surpassed its own mark set from Nov. 9, 2001, to March 11, 2003. Unlike that amazing run, which ended in a loss in the Big East conference tournament semifinals to Villanova, this Huskies team has thoroughly dominated its opponents in every game, winning all of them by double digits. Connecticut (320) will face West Virginia tonight with a chance to win its 16th Big East Conference Tournament Championship.

• Saint Mary’s upsets Gonzaga in WCC title game: Mickey McConnell scored 26 points, Ben Allen added 20 and Saint Mary’s upset No. 18 Gonzaga with an 81-62 victory Monday night in the West Coast Conference tournament title game. Omar Samhan had nine points and seven rebounds for the Gaels (26-5), who earned the sixth NCAA tournament berth in the small Bay Area school’s history with a remarkable shooting performance against the top-seeded Zags (26-6), the 10-time regular-season WCC champions. Saint Mary’s won the WCC tournament for just the second time since it began in 1987, beating Gonzaga for the first time in 10 tourney meetings.

Baseball • Selig: Too soon to determine if HGH test valid: Baseball commissioner Bud Selig says it’s too soon to determine whether a blood test for human growth hormone can be used for minor leaguers. Speaking Monday night before receiving a lifetime achievement award at the annual dinner of the Jackie Robinson Foundation, Selig said Dr. Gary Green, the sport’s outside expert, and other medical staff were examining the data. Selig said the scientific experts haven’t been able to give him a timeframe for their conclusions.

• Canadian doctor says HGH was for him: A sports doctor at the center of drug investigations in Canada and the United States said Monday he treated Alex Rodriguez after the Yankees slugger had hip surgery last year and prescribed anti-inflammatories but not human growth hormone.

Dr. Anthony Galea also told The Associated Press an assistant who was stopped at the U.S.-Canadian border in Buffalo, N.Y., last year was carrying only a minuscule amount of HGH — which Galea said was for his own use. The doctor reiterated that he has never given the drug to an athlete.

Football • Trial opens in Vikes’ challenge of NFL drug policy: The attorney for two Minnesota Vikings challenging the NFL’s anti-doping policy opened their closely watched trial Monday by accusing the league of failing to follow state law when it tested them for drugs two years ago and then decided to suspend them. The attorney, Peter Ginsberg, also said the NFL is at least a partial employer of defensive linemen Kevin Williams and Pat Williams.

Just who employs the two players when it comes to drug testing is considered a key issue in their lawsuit against the NFL.

Cycling • Henderson wins 1st stage of Paris-Nice: Greg Henderson of New Zealand won a sprint Monday to take the first stage of the Paris-Nice race in Contres, France, and Lars Boom of the Netherlands maintained the overall lead.

Henderson beat Slovenian rider Grega Bole and Jeremy Galland of France to complete the 125-mile flat stage in 4 hours, 22 minutes, 17 seconds.

Golf • Ping waives settlement on square grooves: The 20year-old Ping wedges with square-shaped grooves will no longer be allowed on the PGA Tour starting March 29 under an agreement reached Monday with Ping executives. John Solheim, the chairman and CEO of Ping, said the Phoenix-based company is waiving its right that had kept the PGA Tour from banning Ping Eye2 wedges made before April 1, 1990, that have deeper, wide grooves no longer allowed under new USGA regulations.

Racing Continued from D1 “In hosting the 2009 USA Cycling National Championships Bend showcased an entire community who passionately embraces the sport of cycling and its various disciplines as a lifestyle,” said Steve Johnson, CEO of USA Cycling, last month in a press release confirming the masters deal with Bend. “That type of support is critical to growing the sport across the country and is a large reason why Bend was awarded the Masters Road National Championships for 2011 and 2012.”

The masters road nationals are open to men and women ages 30 and older (and by older, we’re talking divisions for riders older than 80). Like the Junior, U23 and Elite version, participants at masters nationals have the option to contest three separate championships — time trial, criterium and road racing — all in age-graded divisions. Two-rider tandem racing divisions will also be offered in road racing and time trial.

Bend cyclist Brenna Lopez-Otero told me Monday that she was planning to buy a plane ticket to Kentucky to compete in her first-ever masters championship this coming August. But now that masters road nationals are heading to her hometown next year, the 39-yearold mother of 1- and 3-year-old boys said she is having second thoughts.

“Maybe I ought to just wait,” said Lopez-Otero, who works as a nurse anesthetist.

A bike racer since 1995, Lopez-Otero competed at the elite level in California and participated in the elite road and criterium national championships before relocating to Bend with her husband two years ago to raise their family. She first discovered Central Oregon while racing in the Cascade Cycling

Classic several years ago.

“I knew this town was hot for cycling,” Lopez-Otero said. “But I didn’t know it would be hosting national (championship) events.”

She noted that those national championships have motivated her to continue racing and training at a high level — she finished seventh in the women’s 35-39 age division at cyclocross nationals here back in December.

Still, as a working mom, she admits that racing against full-time and younger pros is no longer realistic.

“In years past when I was racing at the elite level, I used to pooh-pooh the masters racing, even though I was 35 at the time,” Lopez-Otero recalled. “Now, when I look around the (elite) field, I wonder how many of these women have a career and two kids.”

Masters nationals represent an opportunity at glory for the older set, which is not necessarily to say the slower set.

Anyone who rode or raced alongside Bend’s Steve Larsen knows that just because a rider has turned 30 or 35 or 40 does not mean he or she has slowed down much. (Larsen, a world-class cyclist and triathlete, was still dominating his competition when he died of a heart attack last spring at the age of 39.)

What’s special about masters nationals is the rare chance they offer for racers to compete against amateur riders of similar age from across the country — all the while aiming for a shot at a starsand-stripes jersey and a national title.

Lopez-Otero, who said she does not expect to be bike racing beyond her 40s, is taking a now-or-never approach to masters nationals when they come to Central Oregon in 2011 and 2012.

“If you’re going to have any glory,” she said, “that’s where it’s going to be.”

NHL ROUNDUP

Goalie leads Stars to win over Capitals The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Marty Turco and the rest of the Dallas Stars could have been forgiven for figuring this was a lost cause.

They trailed by two goals after two periods against Alex Ovechkin and the NHLleading Washington Capitals, a team seemingly en route to a 14th consecutive home victory and fourth straight win overall. Plus, the Stars have been fading: Entering Monday, they were 0-3 and had been outscored 17-5 since the end of the Olympic break.

So much for all that. With Turco in the net on this night, anything was possible. He made a career-high 49 saves, and Dallas scored three times in six shots early in the third period, leading to a 4-3 shootout victory over Washington, despite two goals from Ovechkin.

“It’s not going to be every night that your goalie’s going to wear a mask and steal a game for you,” Dallas coach Marc Crawford said. “We needed a great goaltending performance tonight, and Marty was absolutely terrific.

We love the fact that he fought and fought and fought and

fought — and got a payoff.”

Turco’s save total doesn’t even include the shootout, which Dallas took 2-1. He blocked four of five attempts

by Washington, including

by Ovechkin and Alexander Semin, who seemed to fake himself out and fell down head-first into Turco.

“I think he was trying too hard,” Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said.

Brad Richards had a goal and an assist in regulation, plus one of Dallas’ two scores in the shootout. The other came from Loui Eriksson.

Also on Monday: Kings. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 Blue Jackets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 LOS ANGELES — Michal Handzus and Alexander Frolov scored power-play goals 41 seconds apart during a four-goal first period, Fredrik Modin also scored with the man advantage against the team that traded him last week, and Los Angeles routed Columbus. Frolov also tied a career high with three assists, and the Kings also got goals from Wayne Simmonds, Drew Doughty and Brad Richardson to match their highest-scoring output of the season.

NBA ROUNDUP

NBA SCOREBOARD

Dodgeball

Cavs push past Spurs

EASTERN CONFERENCE

Continued from D1 The objective for both teams is to eliminate all players from the opposing team.

Picture a basketball court. Six balls are lined up at the center of the court and the two teams line up facing each other along the baselines at the opposite ends of the floor. When the first game starts, players from both teams run to the center of the court and grab balls and start chucking them at their opponents. Players who get hit by a ball thrown by an opposing player are out and must then step to the sidelines. If a player catches the ball, the opponent who threw the ball is out. Players who are out may resume play if a teammate catches the ball. No outs for hits in the head or below the knees. Several games are played within a 45-minute time frame (the time allotted for each match in the Central Oregon league). The team that has won the most games wins the match.

Five teams currently make up the 2010 Winter Dodgeball League, hosted by All-Stars Basketball Academy, a local youth basketball training organization offered at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Oregon and other locations around the area. Organizers Jared Webb and Danny Makepeace say the league has room to grow, and they welcome more teams to sign up. “It will catch on,� says Webb, who moved to Bend from Seattle a few months ago. “We used to play in downtown Seattle in the parks on

The Associated Press CLEVELAND — LeBron James was in street clothes.

Shaquille O’Neal was nowhere to be found, and Antawn Jamison was in the locker room icing his sore knee.

If they had lost, the Cleveland Cavaliers had plenty of excuses.

They didn’t have to use one.

Mo Williams made two free throws with 9 seconds left and Delonte West made the kind of plays down the stretch reserved for James as the Cavs won for the first time in three seasons without their superstar, beating the San Antonio Spurs 97-95 on Monday night.

Cleveland had been 0-9 since 2007-08 without James. “We had a great opportunity. Not many teams can come here and win,� said Spurs guard Manu Ginobili, who scored a season-high 38. “LeBron wasn’t playing, Jamison didn’t play the second half and Shaq wasn’t there. We blew a big one.�

Williams finished with 17 points for the Cavs, who were playing their second straight game without the injured James. The NBA’s reigning MVP is nursing a tender right ankle as well as other bumps and bruises and Cleveland coach Mike Brown is taking advantage of a lull in Cleveland’s schedule to get him rest.

West had 16 points and made a key steal in the final minute as Cleveland became the first team to reach 50 wins this season.

Also on Monday: Mavericks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .125 Timberwolves . . . . . . . . . . .112 MINNEAPOLIS — Shawn Marion had a season-high 29 points and 14 rebounds and Dallas stretched the league’s longest active winning streak to 12 straight games with a victory over Minnesota.

tennis courts, and there were leagues all over the place. And I got here and there was nothing.�

Webb and Makepeace, also of Bend, run All-Stars Basketball Academy. They decided to offer other sports for adults to raise money for the basketball academy, and part of the proceeds from the adult leagues go to partners Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Oregon. The organizers say they plan to host another dodgeball session in the summer. “How could you NOT want to come out on a weekday and play dodgeball?� Webb asks. “Everybody has played dodgeball at one point in their life, and everybody can associate dodgeball with when they were a kid.

It’s such a great opportunity to relive childhood memories.�

The 45-minute dodgeball sessions take a toll on the players. “Forty-five minutes felt like two hours,� says Redmond’s Jesse Grover, 30, of the Smolich team as sweat drips off his face.

Some of the players liken dodgeball to therapy. “It helps with aggression and stress.

It’s good stress relief,� says Greg Thiessen, 40, of Bend, shortly after his Smolich Snipers team steps off the court following a 10-9 win against the Old Dodgers.

In the background, a new match is starting between teams called Subaru of Bend and the Blacked-out Bank Robbers.

Webb shouts “Dodgeball!� and throws down his arms.

Bass-heavy music fills the well-lit school gym, and the game is on.

Blacked-out Bank Robbers, a team of employees from Bend’s Powder House ski shop, is dressed in various denim attire for a 1950s street-gang effect. And Subaru of Bend team members are all wearing white and black T-shirts with the letters SOB printed on them. The teams ease into play and at first all the throwing seems random. But after several games, the team members are attacking together.

They wait for the right moment, then all fling balls at the same time. “It’s a lot of work,� says SOB’s Bob Tippet, 50, of Bend, moments after getting slammed in the face with a ball. “It’s physical: running, jumping — and making sure the ball doesn’t hit you in the face like it did me. I was out by myself and three balls came at one time; it’s hard to watch all three of them. It kind of upset me for a second, but it’s all in good fun.�

After the game is over, players come off the court a bit battered and bruised, some limping. But every one of them is smiling. After all, it is just dodgeball. “It’s one of those old school-ground sports you played when you were 8, 9, 10 years old,â€? says Ray Chapa, 54, of Bend, who plays for the Subaru team. “And at that time you had no worries at all. ‌ And your future was bright and rosy. It kind of brings that feeling back when you are out here. You just forget everything. “All you do is take your opponent’s head off.â€?

NASCAR Continued from D1 Is it that the high-speed contact sent Keselowski airborne in a spectacular flip that could have caused serious harm to Keselowski or any number of fans in the grandstands?

Or, maybe, the issue is that NASCAR wasn’t properly prepared to deal with the ramifications of allowing drivers free rein on the race track.

All three are valid arguments.

First up is Edwards, who is on a long list of drivers who have been on the losing end of Keselowski’s aggressive charge into NASCAR’s top level.

Edwards’ most obvious run-in with Keselowski was on the final lap of last April’s race at Talladega, where Keselowski’s nudge sent Edwards flying into the fence in a wreck that some may argue was more frightening than Atlanta. But the two race against each other weekly in two series, and Edwards’ hinted at a far deeper history with the unapologetic Keselowski.

So when early contact between the two knocked Edwards out Sunday, at a track where he’s won four times in two series, he

was ready for revenge.

Edwards, who was immediately parked for his actions, had little to say after a postrace meeting with NASCAR. But he minced no words in a Facebook posting late Sunday night. “My options,� he wrote, “Considering that Brad wrecks me with no regard for anyones safety or hard work, should I: A-Keep letting him wreck me? B-Confront him after the race? C-Wait til bristol and collect other cars? or D-Take care of it now? “I want to be clear that I was surprised at his flight and very relieved when he walked away.

Every person has to decide what code they want to live by and hopefully this explains mine.�

Opinions were split, though, perhaps fueled by the severity of Keselowski’s crash.

There was no similar outrage when Hamlin fulfilled his promise of payback on Keselowski in last year’s Nationwide Series finale at Homestead. And it sure seemed that the cheers far outweighed the jeers when Juan Pablo Montoya and Tony Stewart played retaliatory bumper-cars a day later.

But because Keselowski went airborne, bounced hood-first off the retaining wall, and had to

climb from a cockpit so crumpled it looked more like an accordion than a car, there’s been a cry for NASCAR to issue serious sanctions against Edwards.

Fans want him suspended, and many analysts have agreed.

Even Keselowski seemed to taunt NASCAR into cracking down on Edwards. “It’ll be interesting to see how NASCAR reacts to it,� he said after the wreck. “They have the ball. If they’re going to allow people to intentionally wreck each other at tracks this fast, we will hurt someone either in the cars or the grandstands. It’s not cool to intentionally wreck someone at 195 mph.�

It’s left NASCAR to sift through the evidence. On one hand, this is no different than a traffic infraction: run a red light and nothing happens, you maybe get a ticket. Run a red light and kill someone, now you’re looking at vehicular homicide.

So now NASCAR plays judge, jury and executioner, and its decision will reverberate through the rest of the season.

A severe punishment against Edwards is akin to a death sentence on the “have at it� attitude.

If the first driver who actually “had at it� is hit with a stiff pen-

alty, then other drivers won’t ever dare test the limits.

A significant fine, points deduction or probation will likely back Edwards into a conservative mode that could alter the way he races the rest of the year.

And no action at all, well, that could promote repeat behavior from Edwards or others.

Whatever NASCAR decides won’t satisfy everyone, but there are some guarantees going forward.

Keselowski, for one, got the message loud and clear that some rival drivers have been trying to deliver for a while now, and he’s likely going to think twice before bulldozing his way through a pack of traffic.

Edwards probably wishes he’d done things a little differently and will likely give deeper thought to how he exacts his revenge.

And NASCAR? Well, NASCAR knows for sure it needs a quick handbook on how to deal with these issues.

Nobody wants to see the Wild West re-enacted on the track every weekend, but “boys, have at it� was a well-intentioned idea that doesn’t deserve to be scrapped because one incident took everyone — including Edwards — by surprise.

Rhymes get real during local teen poetry class

By Alandra Johnson • The Bulletin

O

n Friday, Summit High School senior Naomi Wright stood in front of a packed audience at PoetHouse Art and shared a poem about her daddy

issues, as she put it. The piece chronicled the three years she’s spent with no contact from her father, breaking it down into number of soccer games missed and cookies eaten. When she finished, the crowd of mostly adults cheered loudly as Naomi grinned. She had just shared something utterly personal in a very public forum.

“It’s a really good way to vent and get that off your chest,” said Naomi.

Just a few weeks ago, Naomi had no idea she would fall in love with spoken word poetry. But now she is hooked. She is one of 10 students in a brand new class dedicated to slam poetry and the art of hip-hop. The class is one of a handful of art classes offered through the local nonprofit CADA | CASA (which is Spanish and English for Community Academics Sports Arts). Tymon Emch organized the class and Jason Graham, known as Mosley Wotta, teaches.

At Pappy’s Pizzeria on Wednesday in Bend, you can help raise money for a local boy who’s receiving a kidney from his mom.

Brady Hardin, a 16-year-old Mountain View High School student, was diagnosed with chronic renal failure at birth, said his mom, Kim VanAntwerp. For 16 years, the family cared for Brady’s kidneys so they’d last as long as possible. Currently, his left kidney doesn’t work and his right one is working at about 12 percent of normal, VanAntwerp said.

So Brady needs a transplant, and his mother is a match.

They’re heading to Portland next week for the surgery.

Brady’s grandmother, Linda Kereen, is putting together fundraising opportunities to help with the family’s medical bills.

On Wednesday, Pappy’s Pizzeria will donate half of the proceeds of any food order made by someone who presents a flier about Brady. Fliers have been placed around Bend or are available by contacting Kereen at 541-389-7166 or gkereen@hotmail.com.

Then at 6 p.m., several baskets and boxes filled with merchandise and gift certificates from local businesses will be raffled off, Kereen said. Certificates range from restaurants to hairstylists to car washes. A quilt crafted

by Carol Houser will also be raffled.

To buy a raffle ticket, call or e-mail Kereen. Raffle tickets are $1 each or $5 for six tickets. You don’t have to be present to win.

Contact: Melissa at 541-6781840, help4bradyh@gmail.com or www.cotaforbradyh.com.

Was it Dogen’s final act on ‘Lost’?

Man has wife’s OK to look, but not touch, other women Dear Abby: Regarding your answer to “Yoo-Hoo, I’m Over Here!” (Jan. 10), who was bothered by her husband’s constant leering at women, you’ve got to be kidding. Men have been looking at young women since the beginning of time. My husband and his friends hold “office hours” every morning at our neighborhood coffeehouse. I’ve told him as long as he “touches” only with his eyes, there won’t be a problem.

My husband and his pals are not “creepy old men.” They are leaders in our community — doing what they can to make the world a better place, while enjoying the scenery. There must be something terribly wrong with “Yoo-Hoo’s” marriage if she’s contemplating divorce because of this.

— Keeping It Real in Tampa Dear Keeping It Real: I told “Yoo-Hoo” that from her description, her husband’s behavior seemed obsessive, that it showed a lack of sensitivity to her feelings and I recommended marriage counseling. Responses from my readers were varied.

Read on: Dear Abby: In marriage we promise to love and cherish our wives. That is not what “YooHoo’s” husband is doing. It is disrespectful to her, his supposed one and only, and to the women he is ogling. When a man stares at another woman, it is not just looking. He is fantasizing about her. And sometimes it doesn’t stop there.

— Tom in Half Moon Bay, Calif.

Dear Abby: I have been happily married for 18 years, we have four children, and I can attest that all men do NOT do that. My husband isn’t blind to a beautiful woman, but he is respectful of my feelings and has enough selfrespect to not openly drool over any women in my presence.

Unfortunately, we do know “Yoo-Hoo’s” husband’s type. We have seen “men” like him gawking open-mouthed at the teenALWAYS STIRRING UP SOMETHING GOOD Serving Central Oregon Since 1975

DEAR ABBY age girls wearing tight jeans at school. We have also made careful note of who they are and who their children are. If an invitation comes for one of our girls to visit their kids at their house, the answer is always NO. “Yoo-Hoo’s” husband has a problem. The sooner she realizes it, the better.

— Watchful Mom in Butler, Pa. Dear Abby: The way she describes her husband’s behavior with women sounds like he may have a sexual addiction. If so, he is powerless over his behavior and will do anything to justify his addiction. It’s a waste of time asking him to change unless he goes into recovery for it. Other signs of this addiction are affairs, frequenting bars, using Internet chat rooms and looking at porn.

— Knows From Experience Dear Abby: I wonder how that man would feel if he caught someone his age leering at HIS daughter? Maybe then he would think twice about what he is doing.

— Divorced in Kansas City Dear Abby: Women look, too.

I look! I think it’s healthy to be aware of the people around you.

But that doesn’t mean we have to be obvious about it — certainly not so obvious that we are inconsiderate of the people we are with.

That said, the other side of the coin is: Did he act like this when they were dating? Did she know what she was getting when she married him? As they say, a leopard doesn’t change its spots.

Martha Stewart hopes to surprise people in their homes in “Help Me, Martha.”

Stewart pitches new show: ‘Help Me, Martha’ The Associated Press NEW YORK — Ever wonder how Martha Stewart might tackle your decorating disaster or party planning nightmare? Some folks will soon get the chance to find out.

Stewart announced Thursday that she and producer Mark Burnett are teaming up for a new television series, “Help Me, Martha.” It’s being made by Stewart’s company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

In the reality series, someone petitions Stewart to help a friend who’s having trouble planning a wedding or a special meal or is facing some other lifestyle issue. The doorbell rings and — surprise!

— Stewart and her team are there to take over.

Burnett says it’s been fun to see “the joy on people’s faces that Martha Stewart is in their home.”

Stewart’s company has yet to sell the series to a television network.

Let’s get it out of the way quickly. The answer to the question we all want to ask is: “I can’t. I’m sorry about that.

This is ‘Lost.’ I would tell you, but I can’t.”

Is Dogen really dead? Of course, we did not get to the bottom of that mystery during a phone interview with Hiroyuki Sanada, the actor who plays him, or an e-mail exchange with executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. “Lost” fans saw Temple Master Dogen drown at the hands of the infected Sayid (Naveen Andrews) in last Tuesday’s episode, but whether viewers will see Dogen again, well, that’s a question for the birds at this point.

What Sanada did share is what was going through his mind during his awesome action sequence in the temple with Sayid. “Lost” fans couldn’t get enough of it, according to the Internet chatter after the episode aired.

“I heard the voices of Sayid’s fans screaming, ‘Don’t do that to my Sayid!’” Sanada said. “I heard that in my head when I was fighting with him.”

With plenty of experience under his belt as an on-screen warrior, Sanada (“The Last Samurai,” “Twilight Samurai” and “Rush Hour 3”) said neither he nor Andrews was injured in the filming of the big temple scene. In case anyone was worried.

“The choreographer is a good friend of mine and we had a great relationship,” Sanada said. “We had one or two hours of rehearsals one or two days before shooting and then just, ‘Go! Go! Go!’ It was so smooth. We shot a lot more, but it was edited very well.”

When “Lost” producers cast the role of Dogen last year, the Japanese actor was

‘Lost’ When: 9 p.m. Tuesdays Where: ABC

their first choice.

“We were big fans of his work from the movies ‘Twilight Samurai’ and ‘The Last Samurai,’” Cuse and Lindelof wrote in an e-mail. “We needed someone as the Temple Master who conveyed real strength and presence but also had an underlying vulnerability.”

Dogen, as he explained in the show, made a pact with Jacob in Osaka, Japan, after he got drunk and got into a car accident that critically injured his son. Jacob offered to heal the boy if Dogen agreed to go to the island to work for him and never see his son again.

“He has dignity, and also weakness, and a lot of love,” Sanada said. “That’s why I love that character.”

With no script to read when producers first called him, Sanada agreed to meet with Lindelof and Cuse to learn more about the character. They explained that Dogen was the guardian of the temple and was said to be the only person capable of keeping the Man in Black/Smocke out.

“But I needed to know, why does a Japanese man come to the island? Is it about Japanese culture? Is it political? Is it religious?

It’s a very delicate thing for us,” Sanada said. “They answered very clearly and were very understanding about my cultural concerns and were very respectful. So I felt I could believe them without a script and I decided then.”

What came next was a monthlong marathon of watching

the first five seasons of “Lost.”

The actor, who incidentally had worked with Matthew Fox on “Speed Racer,” took in five or six episodes a day until he caught up.

Of course, Sanada and the producers wouldn’t address whether Dogen’s drowning is final, whether that pool of water heals him, or if we will, at least, see him in more sideways flashes.

Dogen appeared in Jack’s (Fox) parallel story line in last week’s episode.

“From the beginning, I heard that he would be a sacrifice to the island,” Sanada said. “A good death is what they said. But I didn’t know I would be in the sideways flashes. That was a big surprise for me. That’s all I can say about that.”

In case it turns out that magic water can’t resurrect Dogen and Sanada is gone from the show, fans can find him in James Ivory’s “The City of Your Final Destination,” a movie that will have a limited theatrical release next month. Based on the Peter Cameron novel of the same title, the cast includes Anthony Hopkins and Laura Linney.

Sanada said working in Argentina on the film was “like a dream.”

“I was so nervous, but Anthony Hopkins, he’s like a gent, and he made me relax,” Sanada said. “It’s good timing and good contrast between the movie and ‘Lost,’ so I hope that the audience enjoys the contrast.” where fitness gets personal

Lil Wayne begins yearlong jail term

D’Angelo accused of soliciting prostitute

NEW YORK — After saying goodbye on concert stages and online video streams, Lil Wayne had nothing to add as he was sentenced Monday to a year in jail for having a loaded gun on his tour bus.

The Grammy Aw a r d - w i n - Lil Wayne ning rapper delivered only a brief bow to fans and supporters as he was led out of a courtroom in handcuffs to start serving his sentence.

With that, Lil Wayne headed off to face his punishment in a case that had shadowed him as he became one of music’s most prolific and profitable figures in recent years. Arrested in July 2007, he pleaded guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon. He admitted he had the loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his bus.

His lawyer, Stacey Richman, said the rapper was resolute as he was taken away.

“He knew what he had to do, and he’s doing it,” she said.

Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Carter, will serve his sentence in the Rikers Island jail complex. The 27-year-old rap star could be released in about eight months with good behavior.

NEW YORK — Authorities say D’Angelo was caught in New York City trying to pay $40 for sex with an undercover cop posing as a prostitute.

Police said Monday that the 36-year-old R&B singer was arrested D’Angelo early Saturday while behind the wheel of his Range Rover.

D’Angelo’s real name is Michael Archer. He says in a statement that he pleaded not guilty and plans to fight the charge.

The statement says the singer hopes the public will “allow the American justice system to resolve the matter before jumping to any conclusions.”

Beyoncé named an official Brooklynite NEW YORK — The president of Brooklyn has declared Beyoncé an official Brooklynite.

Borough President Marty Markowitz said Beyoncé is a Brooklynite by marriage and by moxie.

Beyoncé’s hus- Beyoncé band, Jay-Z, is from Brooklyn.

The superstar visited the New York City borough Friday for the opening of the Beyoncé Cosmetology Center at a residential substance abuse treatment center.

The Phoenix House offers programs for residents in carpentry, building maintenance, computer technology and culinary arts.

Beyoncé said she thought it also should have more programs geared toward women. She said her mother’s Houston salon helped so many people feel good about themselves and better their lives.

Beyoncé first spent time at Phoenix House when preparing for the role of Etta James in the 2008 film, “Cadillac Records.”

Alleged stalker of Dr. Pinsky is arrested LOS ANGELES — A man was being held in a Pasadena, Calif., jail Thursday on suspicion of stalking reality show star Dr. Drew Pinsky.

Charles William Pearson, 33, was deta i ned Dr. Drew Wednesday by Pinsky L.A. County sheriff’s deputies, who spotted him at a computer terminal in the school library at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, said Deputy Ronald Nohles.

Pearson was arrested by Pasadena police at about 5:30 p.m. on suspicion of stalking the television and radio personality, according to public records.

Pearson posted violent threats to Pinsky and his family over the Internet for the last several weeks before Pinsky contacted police March 1, said Janet Pope Givens, a spokeswoman for the Pasadena Police Department.

At some point during that time, Pearson showed up at the radio station where Pinsky works and made accusations about the doctor, she said.

Pinsky stars on “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” and hosts the nationally syndicated radio show “Loveline.” On Thursday, he sent this message on Twitter: “’Be generous with kindly words’- Goethe / Something I am trying to cultivate in light of recent events.”

Pearson’s bail was set at $150,000, according to L.A. County Sheriff’s Department records.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, March 9, 2010: You discover that if you have the support of others, your abilities are enhanced. This year, you can manifest many more of your desires. Your birthday heralds a new life cycle. Remain positive, and manifesting could become second nature to you. If you are single, you will have to work to maintain that status with so many suitors. If you are attached, your sweetie benefits from your positive, happy attitude. CAPRICORN helps make what you want happen. This person is a friend.

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 What you are sure of this morning could be up for grabs by the afternoon. Your instincts could be telling you that another course would be better. Don’t fight city hall until you know exactly which path suits you. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Listen to another’s opinion, but understand that this might not be the gospel truth, only what he or she is thinking. A meeting proves to be most enlightening and provides direction. Check in with an expert or two before you say that this is it. Tonight: Take in new vistas.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Others could be forward, in your opinion, but what you think might not be

all that important. Be willing to break through and find another path that suits you. Investigate options with care. Tonight: A long-overdue conversation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Dive into work. You will want to network later and handle an issue. Your ability to change gears is a testimony to your strengths.

You are able to do this with ease. Work with a loved one who presents a different point of view.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Be aware of what is happening with a child or loved one. This person might feel a little down. Your conversation could be difficult. Discussions remain animated, especially at work. Accomplishment is your middle name. Tonight: Quit pushing so hard.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Your creativity marks your decisions, forcing your hand with a child or loved one. You simply know when something is off. Honor a change, remaining more upbeat than many. Others happily allow you to take the lead.

Tonight: Kick up your heels.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Don’t question what is happening so intensely.

Sometimes you are the source of your negativity. Pleasure surrounds a domestic matter.

Make your best effort to get past a problem. Tonight: Settle in early.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Avoid going to extremes.

You could be a lot more vulnerable

than you realize. Communication keeps others in touch with what needs to happen. Just pick up the phone if you need to have something happen.

Tonight: Visit with friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by what is going on around you.

You might feel as if you have pushed way beyond your limits.

Others simply won’t work with you.

Honor what is happening with a family member. Tonight: Your treat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might feel as if the pressure is way too heavy and overwhelming. You might wonder exactly what to do with a family member who can be charming yet demanding.

Communication flourishes in the afternoon. Tonight: As you like.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Knowing when to back off could be significant if ultimately you want to work through a problem. Observe what isn’t being said rather than intercede in a situation. In the long run, the more facts you have the better. Tonight: Do your thing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Zero in on what you want. Your finances could be restricting you. Honor that which you cannot change. Not everything is as you think it is.

Your words have an impact, especially in a meeting. You might wonder why this doesn’t occur more often. Tonight: You are the center of the action. © 2009 by King Features Syndicate

E6 Tuesday, March 9, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Poetry Continued from E1 Naomi was one of two students from the new class to perform at the Art Fusion event after Friday’s Gallery Walk.

All of the students are slated to perform at a special open house March 17, and many will also showcase their efforts at the allages poetry slam at Townshend’s Bend Teahouse on March 18 (see “If you go” on Page E1).

The class Emch came up with the idea for this class as a way for young voices to be heard. He contacted Graham, who is a well-known and respected spoken word artist, visual artist and musician, about teaching.

Emch says the students have produced a lot of good writing about some interesting subjects, from parent issues, stress about college, politics and war, to the cliches of Bend. He thinks the experience has helped students gain a little bit of introspection and helped them “analyze themselves and analyze society around them.”

The class includes information about the history of these art forms as well as practical tips and techniques. Graham talks about the importance of character and one’s ability to take on a persona on stage. He explains that’s why he uses his stage name Mosley Wotta. He calls it a protective coating — that way “Jason Graham doesn’t get affected.” Graham has also worked with students about how to use a microphone, being aware of their breath, learning to see cliches and discovering that really simple things can by dynamic.

He doesn’t expect students to wind up perfectly polished. In fact, Graham says some of his fa-

Naomi Wright, center, and her instructor, Jason Graham, right, react to the crowd’s cheers after Naomi read her poem at a PoetHouse Art event Friday. vorite moments are the awkward ones because those are the truth.

Emch and Graham also teach the class at J Bar J Boys Ranch, a residential program for adjudicated youth. Graham says the students at J Bar J are not as loquacious or academic, but they have “raw guts and bones” and talk about heavy subjects. That class involves less critique and more encouragement. “The last thing we want them to do is clam up,” said Graham.

The PoetHouse class culminates next week with an open house and performance. The event will showcase work from all of the classes offered by CADA | CASA — including graffiti, silk screening, puppet and 3D design, and more. It will also include a presentation about the next round of classes slated to start later this spring. Classes all cost $60 for the six-week session, but scholarships are available.

Graham and Emch both have

long-term vision for these classes and hope to see them continue indefinitely.

Students Naomi first heard about the class when Graham stopped by her Advanced Placement English class this year. She didn’t think of herself as a poet, but liked the sound of the class and decided to give it a go. She loved meeting all of the students and has found the

medium inspiring.

“The whole world of slam poetry was new to me.” She watched every episode of the Def Poetry Jam on HBO. And she competed in the all-ages slam at Townshend’s Bend Teahouse last month (she earned third place).

Naomi says she likes the beat and rhythm that comes with this style of poetry. It also tends to have vivid imagery and metaphors and deals with real-life issues.

She compares it to an object in

the Harry Potter world called a “pensieve,” which characters use to examine memories. Slam poetry allows her to take issues out of her head and share them.

Naomi also credits the class with keeping up her enthusiasm.

As a senior in her second semester, Namoi says she had started to feel burned out on school. But this art form has “revamped my passion for everything.” Sitting in a history lesson about courts, Naomi starts thinking about how “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury” would make an excellent start to a new poem.

Summit senior Caitlin Young didn’t perform at Friday’s event, but she was there to support her classmates. She didn’t feel quite ready to take the stage, but feels she’s getting closer. “My confidence level is not quite there yet.”

As a member of the speech and debate team and the school newspaper, Caitlin is always looking at facts. This gives her an outlet to express her own perspective and feelings. She wants to stay involved with slam poetry and hiphop “as a way to enhance my life.”

On Friday, class member Kit Foreman, who attends Marshall and Bend high schools, performed a song she had written.

It was about a day in December when she got stuck in Reno and wanted to go east. She joined the class to improve her lyric writing ability. Kit says the class did that and helped give her a boost of confidence — enough that she felt comfortable playing her acoustic guitar and singing in front of a large crowd.

Her melodic song quieted the crowd and by the end, everyone was clapping and even singing along. A ton of cheers greeted the close of her song — and a few shouts of “That was awesome!”

Men savoring the – non-foamy – brew technology (eventually retiring as assistant vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia), he had to create a newventure business plan. Classmate Richard Miller, an avid tea drinker, suggested a tea business. James and another student, Duane Higginbotham, “looked at him like he was crazy.” But because it was only an academic exercise, they thought, why not?

When research showed tea was a growth industry, the trio decided to invest in Tea Country as an online vendor in 2001 before opening the East Oak Lane shop in 2004.

A few years later, James noticed that not only were more men buying tea at his shop — where shelves are stocked with black canisters that feature 100 varieties (Golden Assam, Monk’s Blend, Organic Wuyi Oolong) — but they were asking questions on the finer points of tea leaves.

By Lini S. Kadaba The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — The 10 men bantered about their wives’ cooking, boxing greats, and suits that fit too snugly.

This, however, was no sports bar meet-up or barbershop chat.

Two hours earlier, Howard James, a co-proprietor of Tea Country in Philadelphia, had called the group to order by taking requests for a beverage steeped in centuries of elegant tradition.

“Can I have yerba maté?” asked regular Weller Thomas, 54, a travel magazine publisher who lives nearby.

James, 61, wearing a maroon apron stamped with his shop’s name, looked pleased. “It has four times the antioxidants than green tea,” he told the men, the first of many tea tidbits he would pass along this afternoon. “It keeps you alert without the jitters.”

So began the third meeting of the budding Gentlemen’s Tea Club — one more indication of guys’ growing interest in the aromatic liquid.

No one keeps track of how many macho types find the leaves of the Camellia sinensis to be just their cup of tea, but it is known that tea itself is big business.

In the United States, the wholesale market has nearly quadrupled from $1.84 billion in 1990 to $7.13 billion in 2008, according to the New York-based Tea Association of the U.S.A. Also, Americans consume more than 55 billion servings of tea — 2.5 billion gallons.

One New Mexico venue even provides tea and cigar tasting for the manly.

Last year, Thistledown Shop in New Hampshire, which has long made teapot covers in flowery motifs, added a man cozy, called a hob (cozy being too feminine-sounding), “to appeal to the growing number of male tea drinkers,” as its Web site notes.

Hobs come in olive greens and grays with a buckle — no silk ribbons here.

“It’s not an Earl Grey, English breakfast tea scene anymore,” said tea blender and author Bruce Richardson, owner of Elmwood Inn Fine Teas in Perryville, Ky. Men, of course, have historically enjoyed the brew, including George Washington, but the rise of Victorian-era tea culture in the 19th century was a dealbreaker for many fellas. Now, America’s renewed interest in tea, particularly among men, has “gone into fifth gear,” Richardson said, taking off like a Maserati. When he began tea talks two decades ago, he attracted mainly women.

on for this time in our tea world,” said Pearl Dexter, editor and publisher of Tea A Magazine, who has noticed more male tea imbibers in her travels.

Even though the club makes sense, James himself seems an unlikely enthusiast of tea. “People are amazed I’m around,” he said. He grew up in the rough James W. Johnson Homes in North Philadelphia, where gangs ran rampant. “I’ve been stabbed and stomped, all that kind of crazy stuff.” But he also was a Boy Scout, and mentors kept him at his studies, he said.

His interest in tea began as a requirement. As a master’s of business administration student at Eastern University while working full time in information

“Some of them would sit down and chat,” said James, who replaced his addiction to two large cups of Starbucks a day with three cups of tea. Before long, he was introducing customers to one another. Why not create a club?

“This is really a relaxation spot,” he said, noting that membership comes with no obligations beyond a $40 annual fee that includes the gatherings on the third Saturday of the month (and plenty of tea). New members also get a free porcelain teapot.

Several of the men live in East Oak Lane, as James does, and joined the club because they knew the trim (he has taught karate) shopkeeper with the shaved head through Omega Psi Phi fraternity.

“He was someone I respected,” said Emerson Willis, 59, a sales rep who admits he wasn’t much of a tea drinker at first. But tastings turned to full cups, green

tea among his favorites. “I’ve grown to like it. Howard brought a whole new world to us.”

Thomas, who serves as the club’s vice president, agreed. “I was just fascinated,” he said. “I’m always learning something. At a bar, you have so many different distractions. Here, you don’t.”

As the day’s guest speaker, Donald Schuler, Sr., talked about “taking charge of your body” and the pluses of fruits and vegetables, the men poured the rich brown liquid from mustard-colored or white pots into patterned Chinese-style cups (no handles) and black mugs with a splash of color.

English teacups held with a raised pinky would be “too soft for the men,” James said with a chuckle.

Health was the topic of the day, prompting discussion of recipes for smoothies and how best to prepare greens. It’s the health benefits, and foodie allure, of tea that often attract the testosterone set. “It’s a very easy way to alter your lifestyle,” said Joe Simrany, the tea association president.

The jury is still out, but studies have shown an association between the antioxidant-rich tea leaf and improved cardiovascular function; reduced incidence of cancer, particularly colon; and increased bone density.

As recently as January, tea was touted as a way for men to trim a belly after researchers found that men who drink more than two cups of tea a day have trimmer waistlines than men who drink coffee or nothing at all. (Alas, women didn’t see the same advantage.)

“You’re not going to see specialty tea advertised on the Super Bowl,” said Frank Viola, 60, of Rydal, an adjunct who taught James at Eastern. But, he said, “men have a lot of issues. They want to take time to decompress.

It doesn’t have to be alcohol or physical sports contact.”

For this group of men, at least, a hot cup of tea will do.

A splash of style

By Alison Highberger For The Bulletin

Your kitchen’s backsplash has a simple job: to protect the walls from spills and splatters. But it can also add a big splash of style to your decor.

When interior designer and Cascade Design Center owner Ronda Fitton works on a kitchen project, she focuses special attention on this small but important area.

“I look for impact; something to catch the eye. Anything that’s on a vertical surface, as opposed to a horizontal surface, you’re going to see more quickly when you walk into a room,” she said.

Not much sugar, plenty of spice FOOD

Savory baking uses familiar techniques, but new flavors

By Alison Highberger For The Bulletin

I

f you only bake desserts and breakfast sweets, you’re missing out.

There’s a whole world of savory baking waiting for you that has nothing to do with sugar. It’s all about herbs and spices, mushrooms, cheeses, vegetables, nuts and meats.

“Savory baking is for people who like to cook, but would like to bake without the sweet component, so it’s more of a combination of baking and cooking,” said Mary Cech (pronounced “check”), author of “Savory Baking.”

Cech is an award-winning pastry chef and culinary instructor from Park City, Utah.

After years of teaching cooking classes all over the United States, often to home cooks with a sweet tooth, Cech shifted gears and started to explore the savory side of her profession.

Cech’s experimentation resulted in her cookbook, which includes 75 savory recipes with a variety of ethnic flavors that are designed to expand the repertoire of anyone who likes to bake.

It’s all the same techniques, but with a flavor switch.

Backsplash choices Ceramic and glass tile remain the No. 1 choices for backsplashes, according to Fitton. Jorden Swart agrees. He’s the owner of Brilliant Environmental Building Products in Bend, which specializes in environmentally friendly and recycled materials.

“Tile dominates because of its versatility,” Swart said.

But there are other options worth exploring, from recycled plastic and resin products to stainless steel and custom-designed acrylic paintings by local artists.

Stainless steel tiles and stainless steel panels are available, but not as popular in Central Oregon as they are in more urban areas.

“People here are outdoorsy, so they like the natural, casual look.

Not to say they don’t like a little bling of a little glass tile now and then,” Fitton said.

Beyond tile Backsplashes used to be 6-inch borders of tile, wood or other material that started at the countertop, with painted walls above.

Not anymore.

Spicy Tomato Crumble can be served as a side dish, or as a pasta topper. “It’s a little crunchy on top, it’s spicy like a puttanesca, and it’s just yummy,” says Mary Cech, an award-winning pastry chef and author of “Savory Baking.”

Wake up, procrastinators. As we get another day closer to planting season, more gardeners will feel the disappointment of not receiving some of the seeds they ordered. I started ordering seeds in January, and immediately received notice that one item was sold out and several others were back-ordered, to be shipped in late March. I have heard similar stories from friends.

Why do I order seeds? Firstly, because I want to make sure I am planting open-pollinated seeds for my vegetable selections. That is information that may or may not be printed on the

COVER STORY

Baking Continued from F1 If you love to bake cookies, for example, you’ll find 11 recipes for savory shortbreads, biscotti, madeleines and others that are meant for the start of a meal, not the end.

They make sensational appetizers when matched up with cheeses, dips and drinks.

Cech said in a phone interview that she finds savory baking a fun and creative way to cook.

“It’s not easy to come up with a cookie recipe without sugar. With sweet baking, you lean on sugar for flavor, and without the sugar, you have to be creative and come up with substitutes like cheeses and herbs, dried mushrooms and spices,” she said.

For people who love to cook, but shy away from baking, Cech said a good recipe to try is her Spicy Tomato Crumble (recipe at far right).

“A crumble topping is one of the easiest things to make for a nonbaker. You just mix the ingredients together. What I really like about this is it can be served in a casserole as a side dish, or I love to do a pasta, like fettuccine, and then serve the crumble on top. It’s a little crunchy on top, it’s spicy like a puttanesca, and it’s just yummy,” Cech said.

The good news about savory baking is that Central Oregon’s high altitude won’t deflate your efforts.

Cech is aware of the problem.

In Park City, she’s at about 7,000 feet. Bend’s elevation is 3,600 feet.

“For high-altitude baking, what you’re dealing with is the lack of structure in baked goods that comes from the air pressure being less. One of the culprits is sugar, which is a tenderizer and ‘weakener’ of that whole structure. In these savory items, there is little or no sugar, so you should be in good shape at your altitude. I haven’t had any problems with it,” she said.

If you love to bake, you’ll be intrigued with Cech’s more complicated recipes. She recommends her Chili-Cheese Gratin Sandwiches (far right) for people who enjoy making quick breads.

“The bread is great alone or served with chili, or you can transcend it and make it into openfaced sandwiches with a slice of really nice tomato on top and then that cheese herb butter broiled on top. Oh my gosh, it’s so good — garlicky and kind of like a Welsh rarebit type of thing,” she said.

Another dish that Cech said is not to be missed is her clafouti made with portobello mushrooms in a shallot cream sauce (at right).

A clafouti is traditionally a dessert made with cherries baked in a sweet batter, but Cech’s savory

SPICY TOMATO CRUMBLE Makes 4 to 6 servings.

This delicious puttanesca-style dish with a crunchy topping is great with grilled fish. For an interesting change, scoop a large spoonful on top of fresh-cooked pasta. — Mary Cech TOPPING 1 ⁄3 C dry bread crumbs ¼ C rolled oats 1 TBS all-purpose flour ¼ C finely grated Parmesan cheese 1 tsp dried oregano ½ tsp dried sage ¼ tsp salt 2 TBS unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes

FILLING 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 TBS capers, rinsed, drained and roughly chopped 2 TBS finely diced pepperoncini 2 tsp clover honey 1 tsp dried basil ½ C dry red wine One 28-oz can whole Italian tomatoes with juice, roughly chopped ½ C kalamata olives, roughly chopped

To prepare the topping, combine the bread crumbs, rolled oats, flour, Parmesan cheese, oregano, sage and salt in a medium bowl.

Add the butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside.

To prepare the filling, put the garlic, capers, pepperoncini, honey, basil, red wine, tomatoes and olives in a medium saucepan over high heat. Stir and bring to a rapid boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 25 minutes to reduce the filling slightly.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour the filling into a 6-cup (1½-quart) casserole dish, and sprinkle with the topping. Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet and center in the oven. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 15 minutes. Serve hot from the oven.

Mushroom Clafouti is a savory take on a classic French dessert. twist turns it into an earthy side dish.

“I’ve done this recipe so many times for guests and for myself and my husband. It’s sooooo good, and I serve it in little ramekins like you’d serve a creme brulee. It’s great as a side dish with beef,” she said.

Cech writes in her book that baking sweets will always be “a big part of my culinary pleasures,” but the fun of baking is no longer reserved for dessert.

“I’ve had very good success with teaching students savory baking who say, “Wow, now I like to bake more,” Cech said.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM, ROSEMARY AND SHALLOT CREAM CLAFOUTI Makes 4 servings.

A clafouti is a rustic dessert popular in Provence, France. It is usually made with black cherries blanketed with a thin, white sweet batter, baked and served hot. My earthy and aromatic savory rendition is decadent, rich and flavorful. It is delicious served with roasted meats or poultry. Mix and match mushrooms for fun. — Mary Cech CLAFOUTI BATTER ¼ C dried portobello mushrooms (or dried chanterelles or porcini)

¾ C boiling water ½ C all-purpose flour ¼ tsp salt 2 eggs

FILLING 4 TBS extra-virgin olive oil 2 TBS minced shallots 1¼ C heavy (whipping) cream 8 oz fresh portobello mushrooms, stemmed, thickly sliced and cut into 1-inch chunks

2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary (or use thyme if you don’t care for rosemary) ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

To prepare the batter, put the dried mushrooms in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over the top. Gently stir and then cover with plastic film. Let the mushrooms hydrate for 15 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ cup of the liquid. Chop the mushrooms into 1-inch pieces.

Put the flour in a medium bowl. Pour the reserved mushroom liquid over the flour and whisk until smooth. Add the salt, eggs and hydrated mushroom pieces. Continue mixing to a smooth batter.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Lightly butter four shallow, 6-ounce (¾-cup) ceramic dishes and arrange them on a baking sheet. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until lightly browned on one side. Turn them over and brown the other side. Add the shallots and rosemary, and continue to sauté until the shallots are translucent, about 1 minute. Stir in the heavy cream, salt and pepper. Bring to a rapid boil and cook until the cream is reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the mushroom cream among the prepared ceramic baking dishes.

Pour the batter evenly over the mushroom cream and place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake until the crust looks puffed and the mushrooms are bubbling, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately from the oven.

CHILE-CHEESE BREAD 2 C all-purpose flour 2 tsp granulated sugar 1 TBS baking powder 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 tsp salt 4 oz (1 C) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1 C whole milk 1 ⁄3 C vegetable oil 1 egg One 4-oz can peeled mild green chilies, drained 3 TBS finely chopped jalapeño chili, veined and seeded ½ C finely chopped red bell pepper

CHEDDAR TOPPING 4 oz (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature 4 oz (1 C) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1 oz (¼ C) Romano cheese, shredded ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce ¼ tsp garlic powder Pinch of salt 8 tomato slices, cut ¼-inch thick

To prepare the bread, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and butter or spray an 8x3-inch loaf pan. Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, pepper and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the cheese, and gently toss until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Whisk the milk, oil, egg, green chilies, chopped jalapeño and red bell pepper together in another bowl. Pour the milk mixture over the flour mixture and briefly blend with a spatula. The batter will look moist. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the oven. Bake until the top is golden brown and springs back when gently touched in the center, about 45 minutes. Put the loaf on a cooling rack for 10 minutes and then remove the bread from the pan to completely cool.

Meanwhile, prepare the topping. Put the butter, cheddar and Romano cheeses, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and a little salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whip attachment. Whip for 2 minutes on medium speed. Alternatively, the topping can be pulsed in a food processor for about 1 minute.

Set the oven to broil. Cut the loaf into 8 slices and lay the slices on a baking sheet. Place a tomato slice on each piece of bread.

Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of the cheese topping over each tomato slice. Put the baking sheet in the oven about 4 inches away from the flame, and broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Note: Wrap cooled bread in plastic film and store at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 month. Remove the loaf from the freezer and thaw at room temperature for a couple of hours. Warm in a 300-degree oven for 15 minutes before serving.

The cheddar topping can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

F Four favorite mac’n’cheeses, from classic to creative ‘MAC WITH MEAT’ WINNER: SPICY MAC & SAUSAGE

By Greg Morago Houston Chronicle

Trying to form consensus on the best macaroni and cheese is like getting Congress to agree on anything. There is precious little agreement where a dish of pasta baked in a cheese sauce is concerned.

Why? Because we’re all convinced we make the best. Or our taste buds are attuned to familiar flavors — our mom’s mac; that prized recipe from our favorite magazine or cooking show; the heart-attack-on-a-plate from a beloved restaurant.

Our mac ’n’ cheese allegiances are steeped in oven-baked tradition and formed by bonds far stronger than the elastic pull of molten cheese. Like recipes for homey favorites such as pot roast, lasagna, chili and apple pie, macaroni and cheese is a treasure; not something to be trifled with (or truffled with — more on that later).

We knew that going into our macaroni and cheese throwdown, a friendly competition among Houston Chronicle readers for the best recipe. We knew we’d get plenty of submissions (more than 100), but we weren’t prepared for the variety of interpretations of what was considered classic macaroni and cheese.

Some recipes called for unusual cheeses (ricotta, mascarpone, cottage cheese, Cheez Whiz and canned nacho cheese sauce) and exotic (gorgonzola and Roquefort) and even disarming (“rat” cheese).

Some recipes felt a need to soup up their sauce with canned chicken, celery or mushroom soups.

There were odd add-ins: chopped pecans and chopped pimento, mayonnaise, frozen spinach, a can of diced tomatoes, hot dogs and cubed tofu. There were shots at elegance with additions of vermouth, white wine and truffle oil (we can tell you now that truffle oil, much too overworked by chefs, does nothing to improve macaroni and cheese). And there was the alarming ingredient of a dash of “tobacco,” although we’re sure it was supposed to be “Tabasco.”

We sorted the recipes into four categories: traditional or “homestyle”; recipes with meat (bacon, pancetta, ham, etc.); luxury versions (an abundance of rich and artisanal cheeses); and creative recipes (those that combined ethnic flavors or unusual add-ins).

While there were many to admire among the groupings, some recipes immediately stood out for their ingredients, and for the sureness and clarity of their instructions. We baked so many dishes

CREATIVE FLAVORS WINNER: LOADED MACARONI & CHEESE 10 slices of bacon 16 oz elbow macaroni 1 stick of butter 1 C of whole milk 16 oz evaporated milk Dash of salt Dash of pepper 4 C of shredded cheddar 1 beaten egg 1 ⁄4 C of diced green onions 1 ⁄2 C of sour cream 1 ⁄4 C of ranch dressing Sprinkle of paprika Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Fry bacon until crisp; crumble.

Set aside.

On low heat, melt butter. Add all milks, salt and pepper. Once it starts to bubble, add 3 3⁄4 cups of cheese. Once all ingredients have melted, remove from heat. Mix egg into the sauce.

Add green onions, bacon, sour cream and ranch dressing. Set aside.

Cook macaroni as directed on package; drain. Add to cheese sauce.

Spread macaroni and cheese in a rectangular baking dish; sprinkle top with remaining cheese and paprika.

Cover with foil and place in the oven until cheese on top is melted. Remove foil and turn off the oven; return the pan to the (off, but still hot) oven for 5 more minutes to brown the cheese on top a little.

— Recipe by Isiah Thomas, of The Woodlands, Texas

of macaroni and cheese, we were convinced our co-workers, who we looked to for feedback, would accuse us of shortening their lives with all the cheese and butter.

But the interesting thing about macaroni and cheese is that even middling versions have the ability to hit the spot and satisfy. Good versions immediately stood out.

What was learned Before we get to the good, though, a few observations about deficiencies in some of the recipes: • Almost across the board, there was a tendency to under-salt.

We found a bit more salt woke up cheese sauces that relied on American, Colby and Velveeta.

• Recipes that called for more than a couple of eggs were concerning. One recipe called for eight eggs and produced a mac ’n’ cheese that was more like a quiche. It also tasted overwhelmingly eggy — not the first flavor you want from this dish.

• Dryness can easily sink a mac ’n’ cheese recipe. Many recipes clearly needed more liquid.

If you’re concerned your cheese sauce is too loose or that there’s too much of it, that’s probably not the case. Pasta can drink up the sauce, and the oven can dry it out. If anything, err on the side of more liquid or more sauce.

What was liked Now for the good news. Here’s what we liked about each of the best recipes: • Mac with meat: James Gerstner’s recipe for Spicy Mac & Sausage shone for its abundance of flavors. It wasn’t just the smoked

Even the bread crumbs were kicked up a notch with the addition of chili powder. This was a lusty winner.

• Luxury mac: Martin Tomek’s recipe is not for everyday eating.

In fact, it is so rich, you would have to consider it a special-occasion dish. The cheese sauce is fit for a king, using Gruyere, fontina, sharp cheddar and Emmentaler (a cow’s milk Swiss cheese). But Tomek doesn’t stop there: There’s bacon larded through his cavatappi noodles as well as bacon drippings and parmesan cheese in his panko bread topping, which we found make a superior topping.

• Creative mac: We have to admit that we were skeptical about Isiah Thomas’ Loaded Macaroni & Cheese that called for ranch dressing. But we were believers after tasting this mac that combined the flavors of a loaded baked potato with bacon, sour cream and

HOMESTYLE WINNER: BAKED MACARONI & CHEESE 8 TBS unsalted butter 2 C fresh bread crumbs 1 lb elbow macaroni 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tsp dry mustard, dissolved in 1 tsp water 1 ⁄4 tsp cayenne pepper 6 TBS all-purpose flour 31⁄2 C whole milk

13⁄4 C low-sodium chicken broth 1 tsp nutmeg 1 lb Colby cheese, shredded (4 C) 8 oz extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (2 C) Salt Black pepper, to taste

With oven rack in the middle, heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and toss with bread crumbs; set aside.

Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Stir in 1 tablespoon salt and macaroni; cook until almost tender but still firm to the bite.

Drain and set aside. Wipe the pot dry, add the remaining six tablespoons butter and melt over medium heat. Stir in garlic, mustard and cayenne. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in flour and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk and broth. Add nutmeg. Bring to a simmer. Cook, whisking often, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat, whisk in cheeses until completely melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir macaroni until well combined.

Pour into a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with bread crumbs.

Bake until golden brown and bubbling around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes.

To make bread crumbs: Use good-quality white bread. Tear pieces of bread into quarters, and pulse in food processor 8 or 9 times for coarse crumbs. One slice yields about 1 cup.

— Recipe by Hilary Purcell, of Houston

LUXURY VERSION WINNER: TOMEK’S FOUR-CHEESE & BACON CAVATAPPI 5 slices bacon, cut into 1 ⁄4 -inch pieces 1 lb cavatappi (corkscrew) pasta Béchamel Sauce 1 TBS bacon drippings 1 ⁄3 C onion, chopped fine 3 TBS white wine or dry Vermouth 1 stick butter 1 ⁄4 C flour 11⁄2 C whole milk 1 C heavy cream 1 ⁄4 tsp ground nutmeg 1 tsp kosher salt 3 ⁄4 tsp black pepper

1 C Gruyere cheese, grated 1 C fontina cheese, grated 1 C Emmentaler cheese, grated 1 C New York sharp cheddar cheese, grated 1 TBS green onions, sliced TOPPING 11⁄4 C panko bread crumbs 1 ⁄4 C Parmesan cheese, grated 3 TBS chopped parsley 1 ⁄2 tsp paprika 3 ⁄4 tsp kosher salt 3 ⁄4 tsp black pepper 2 TBS bacon drippings 2 TBS butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook bacon, drain pieces and save drippings. Cook pasta according to directions on package.

Place a tablespoon of bacon drippings in a 4-quart saucepan on medium; add onions. Sauté until soft. Add wine and reduce by 80 percent. Add butter and flour to make a roux; cook 6-7 minutes.

Add milk and cream; bring to a slight simmer, stirring frequently.

Add nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Reduce the heat to low and add cheeses; fold until all are melted. Add sliced green onion. In a large mixing bowl, combine cheese sauce, macaroni and bacon. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Put the bread crumbs in a mixing bowl, and add Parmesan cheese, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.

Mix the melted butter and bacon drippings together, and pour over top of dry mix; stir until mixture is well coated. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the top of the pasta mixture. Bake 30 minutes.

shredded cheese. Two other things Thomas’ recipe had going for it: the use of evaporated milk (in addition to whole milk) that made for a lusciously smooth sauce, and the use of ranch dressing, sour cream, bacon and green onion, which loaded the dish with flavor.

• In the end, however, one recipe stood out for its overall excellence. Hilary Purcell’s version of classic homestyle mac hit all the right notes: superior flavor, excellent moisture from a spoton cheese sauce; perfect, gooey mouth feel; handsome appearance. The standout attributes of Purcell’s recipe were the use of dried mustard, fresh garlic, cayenne pepper and freshly grated nutmeg. She also incorporated chicken broth in addition to whole milk in her cheese sauce.

Traveling Asia via its cuisine “The Flavors of Asia”

by Mai Pham (DK Publishing, 272 pgs., $35)

Chicago Tribune • What it is: Seven Asian countries — China, India, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam — star in this large, handsome cookbook assembled

by California restaurateur Mai Pham on behalf of the Culinary Institute of America.

• Praise and quibbles: This work is the second cookbook spawned by a “World of Flavors” conference sponsored by the institute in 2007. You’ll find 125 recipes from 40 top chefs and food figures from around the world. Essays offer the essentials about each cuisine and important food staples. Recipes are clear and well-written, but you have to know the basics of Asian cooking — how to toast spices, for example — to use this book most effectively.

• Why you’ll like it: Given its somewhat globe-girdling scope, this book cannot be considered the authoritative source for any one cuisine; rather, it offers a foretaste of what each culture and each cuisine is about. Pham does a good job pulling the book together into a coherent whole. It’s fun to compare and contrast the various cooking traditions.

Don’t try this at home Sometimes home improvement should be left to the experts

By Amy Hoak MarketWatch

CHICAGO — Eager to save money, homeowners are more willing to get their hands dirty with home-improvement projects these days. But the DIY route isn’t always the safest or cheapest.

“Especially with money being so tight, it’s totally understandable that people want to take on projects themselves that in other periods they would have hired someone to do,” said Meri-K Appy, president of the Home Safety Council, a Washington nonprofit dedicated to preventing home-related injuries.

But how do you determine if a project entails more than you can realistically handle?

If you’re unsure about your ability to finish a project correctly, get an expert opinion before proceeding. Sometimes, you may end up spending more money to repair a bungled DIY job than if you had hired someone to do it from the start.

Here are a few occasions when you may want to consider turning to a pro:

Safety is an issue Tinkering with a home’s electric system can be risky business, said Matt Knox, chief executive of DiggersList.com, a construction classifieds Web site. Not only could the do-it-yourselfer risk electrocution, but doing a job incorrectly could create a safety hazard within the home’s structure.

Some other jobs that involve safety risks: • Extending a gas line. “Do not mess around with gas. ... If you’re DIY, you probably don’t know how to check for gas leaks,” Knox said. A mistake there could lead to an explosion or carbonmonoxide poisoning.

• Projects that involve heights.

Carefully assess projects that require you to be up high, whether it’s roofing or pruning trees, Appy said. “Do the cost/benefit analysis up front and ask yourself, ‘How well trained am I to do this, do I have the proper tools, what is my physical well-being?’” she said.

Sewing & Vacuum Center

For all your vacuum & sewin needs g

• Projects that require power tools. Obviously, big power tools, such as a circular saw, can lead to serious injury or even death if used improperly.

Water is involved Leaks and water damage can lead to more costly and complicated repairs. If left unfixed, they can lead to mold — which affects air quality and, if found during an inspection, can be a deal breaker on a home sale.

Water-related projects don’t have to strictly involve your home’s pipes. Putting in a skylight might seem like a do-ityourself job you can handle.

Do it incorrectly, however, and you could end up with a leaky roof, water damage and mold.

“If you’re lucky and it leaks, you will see the leak,” said Knox. If you’re not lucky, leaking can start inside the ceiling and drip behind the walls, causing damage to drywall and wooden beams.

Costs are high Sometimes the costs of materials and the expense associated with making a mistake are enough to make hiring an expert a good idea.

A kitchen cabinet can cost a couple hundred dollars, and if you order incorrectly, there might be a restocking fee and special orders may be nonreturnable, said Mike Albrecht, division director for Home Depot’s installation business.

Being off on measurements for granite countertops also can be a costly flub.

Project is too big If you’re planning on replacing all the windows in your home or remodeling your kitchen, think twice about how much of the project you want to take on yourself, Albrecht said. Often, you can leave the heavy lifting to the experts, and work on the finishing touches, such as painting and tiling backsplashes, he said.

In a bathroom, for example, you might be comfortable changing lighting fixtures and medicine cabinets, painting and retiling, Knox said.

“If you mess up, there’s no injury or damage,” he said.

“If it can do damage you can’t see, have someone else do that part.”

While putting in hardwood or laminate flooring can be a good do-it-yourself project, its complexity will largely be determined by its scale.

Backsplash options

Backsplash tips and finishing touches

• Ceramic or glass tile • Recycled glass tile (varieties pictured) • Recycled resins and plastics • Corian • Stainless steel • Tin • Wood • Marble (warning: stains easily)

• If you like your existing counter, but not the backsplash, it’s easy to update only the backsplash.

• Under-cabinet lighting adds atmosphere and highlights the backsplash.

• Use silicone to seal the gap where backsplash meets countertop to liquid-proof the connection.

• Like carpet samples, you may borrow tile samples from design stores to live with at home for a bit.

Highway 20, 541-385-0808, www.cascadedesigncenter.com)

Backsplash Continued from F1 “For every 10 backsplashes that we install now, nine of them are full height, going all the way up to the bottom of the cabinets,” Fitton said.

Hundreds of different glass and ceramic tiles are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Browse in design and home stores and online to explore the possibilities.

Brilliant Environmental Building Products has been open for two years in Bend, offering recycled glass tiles from Oceanside Glasstile and Portland-based Stardust Glass, among others.

Brilliant also carries Lumicor and 3form recycled resin panels that make interesting backsplashes with solid translucent colors, patterns or embedded natural elements such as twigs and bamboo.

Recycled tiles are typically more expensive than conventional ones, starting at about $20 per square foot versus $10, said Swart.

A typical kitchen has about 30 square feet of backsplash area, Fitton said, and the price can range from $10 to $50 per square foot or more, depending on how many expensive decorative tiles are used.

Matching a backsplash to the kitchen decor and house colors can be tricky. “Some people want it to be more subtle; others want it to stand out,” Swart said.

Fitton said she aims for the backsplash to contrast with the cabinets so it doesn’t blend in.

But if a client prefers a similar color palette for both cabinets and backsplash, Fitton suggests colored canisters on the counter to add some visual interest.

Kitchen masterpiece The backsplash area behind the stove offers more space to get creative.

For people who want to make a bold artistic statement, and who have some money to spend,

Jorden Swart, of Brilliant Environmental Building Products in Bend, displays recycled backsplash materials.

Recycled tiles are typically more expensive than conventional ones, Swart said. “Tile dominates because of its versatility.”

the tile, the granite, the woodwork and the colors in the room.

In a new home, I meet with the builder, the electrician and the cabinetmaker because the painting has to fit in there properly,” she said.

A work of fine art near a hot, steamy stove didn’t make sense until Ferder explained why acrylic paint is perfect for a kitchen.

“It dries so hard you can use soap and water to wash it down.

Because I live in this town, I’m an ‘artist on call.’ If there’s a problem, I’ll come with my paint and fix it, like a doctor on call,” Ferder said.

She also said she can seal the painting.

Some of Ferder’s clients protect their paintings with non-glare glass or Plexiglas.

Tile or paint, ceramic or recycled resin — if you can decide what you like best, you’ll have a backsplash that not only does its job of helping keep your kitchen clean, but will make you proud of its stylish looks.

Baskets: My favorite solution for storing things

By Martha Phifer The Orlando Sentinel

It seems as if no matter the size of our homes, we always need (or want) more closet or storage space. But in the absence of that extra room, you can always use baskets, like I do.

It’s the mission of the Blessing Basket Project (blessingbasket .org) “to reduce poverty in devel-

oping countries by paying prosperity wages for artisan products.” Those products include woven baskets, bowls, fans and hats, among other things, from Bangladesh (made of date palm leaf and sea grass); Ghana (made of elephant grass); Madagascar (made of Mahampy, aka sedge); and Uganda (made of banana leaf and sisal). It takes weavers

between one and two days to weave these works of art, which are unique and affordable.

All of a sudden I came to the realization that I have one in almost every room. A basket, that is. I have a fruit basket on the kitchen counter. Another two baskets store my spices and condiments in the pantry. Instead of trash cans in the bathrooms, I prefer small

baskets. Tiny ones filled with potpourri double as decor and air freshener on my bathroom counter. My bath products in the linen closet also are in baskets. And proof of how far I’ve gone with these as a storage solution is that I even shopped for a manly basket to put a few of my husband’s personal products in. He resisted at first but ended up falling for it!

(Minneapolis) Star Tribune

Q: A:

So how do you design, post-Vegas?

We’re all spatially aware.

We know what it takes to feel comfortable in our living rooms. I’m just translating that to the garden. You have to create a space that’s so comfortable, so private, that people feel like they could go out and walk around naked in their garden.

Q: A:

By Norman Winter McClatchy-Tribune News Service

It seems today everyone is searching for those plants that perform from the minute they are planted until killing frost takes them out. If you find yourself in that group, then you’ll welcome Purple Knight and Brazilian Red Hot, both varieties of Alternanthera. You’ll also relish in the fact that these are only two of several new varieties reaching your local garden center in the last few years.

Botanically speaking, they are both Alternanthera dentata.

If you are not familiar with that name, then consider them to be like Joseph’s Coats on steroids.

The name Brazilian Red Hot indeed gives the clue they are native to South America and Mexico.

These plants will be riveting in your garden because of their eye-catching foliage. In the case of Purple Knight, the leaves are such a deep dark purple they would almost pass for black.

With this color, you’ll be able to

combine just about any other color of flower or foliage and have them literally dazzle. One striking partnership I had the opportunity to photograph had them growing behind a drift of Torch Red Ember gaillardia. The fiery red and yellow stood out against the sea of dark black purple.

The Brazilian Red Hot garnered awards in almost every trial in the country. The leaves are smaller than Purple Knight, but the iridescent shades of red hot pink and magenta make this plant look like it is on fire.

In the trials I worked with, the August sun and heat only made it ever more sizzling. I’ve seen great combinations with yellow lantanas, and a gaudy but dashing partnership with Blue Wave petunias. Almost any color will work with this plant other than orange. Also look for a selection called Summer Flame with the same intense colors.

I compared these to Joseph’s Coats, and some sell them under that name. Expect them to easily reach 24 to 36 inches,

which will make them great as a backdrop for your other flowers. Space your plants about 18 to 24 inches apart, and they will quickly fill in. They will fit in any style of garden from grandma’s cottage to the look of the islands.

Like the small Joseph’s Coats you may be most familiar with, they do need fertile, welldrained soil. They can take anything summer can dish out, but they do not want to sit in wet, soggy soil. They can still perform with a little midafternoon shade, but they reach their true potential in the full sun.

These are very low-maintenance plants. Feed your plants with light applications of a slow-release fertilizer, about three times during the summer and early fall. Though they are drought tolerant, supplemental water during prolonged dry periods will keep them looking their best. If at any time you don’t like their size or shape, feel free to cut back. New growth will quickly begin.

TOOLS

How did you get into gardening?

I grew up in the Australian outback. My dad was a miner, and my mom was a passionate gardener. She had the ability to grow roses in the desert soil. It wasn’t until after I dabbled in show business in Las Vegas that I began to take what I learned about lights, sets and staging, and apply it to the garden.

Another item that piqued my interest was the grow bags made from unbreakable, lightweight patented fabric, not plastic. Gar-

SEEDS

So you’re making plants exotic?

We’re all pretty much experts on what grows on our street, but to take the blinkers off and see what’s growing in the rest of the world, that’s exciting. Plants really give a sense of place, and a sense of escape.

Available through Johnny’s Seed are Herb Disks, 4-inch, preseeded rounds intended to be placed in a 6-inch-round pot. Given a window sill with sufficient light, you could grow them indoors, or the pots could be placed outdoors on a patio table.

I decided if I could make seed tapes, I could make “herb disks.”

So I will give it a try experimenting with a biodegradable paper towel and just an ordinary paper towel — to be blunt, the cheap kind. I also want to try using coffee filters, brown and white.

According to the catalog, depending on the herb, the seed count could vary. A parsley disk contains 45 seeds, the thyme disk 75 seeds and the chive disk 100 seeds.

I have heard good reports on the Topsy Turvy method of planting tomatoes, which uses a special planter to hang the plants upsidedown. I may add that to the list of new methods. I have grown cherry tomatoes in hanging baskets but never upside-down.

BIRDBATHS

You’ve been credited with making gardening sexy.

Have you?

Well, I’ve given it a bloody good bash.

Catalogs provide me with more than detailed variety and culture information. I page through, becoming familiar with new tools and supplies.

Each year, those sections become more extensive. Propagation heat mats, soil-heating cables, automatic vent and window openers for greenhouses and cold frames, copper plant tags and a variety of potting supplies are available with just the click of the mouse and a credit card. The satisfaction for me is to learn about some of the newest products available and then find them locally.

My friends and anyone else who will listen know I am not a fan of peat pots for starting seeds. I never have good luck with them decomposing in the soil, let alone the roots breaking through the pots into the soil. I am sure it is just me and my conservative nature with regard to irrigating.

That said, I am intrigued with the cow pots that were introduced to the market last year. If you are a fan of TV’s “Dirty Jobs,” you may have seen them featured in a segment. Two Connecticut dairy farmers created these 100 percent biodegradable starting/transplant pots made from fully composted cow manure.

When planted, the pots rapidly disintegrate, adding nutrients to the soil. Redmond Greenhouse will be one of the local suppliers.

I have made many feet of seed tapes over the years, especially to make growing carrots an easier process. A little Elmer’s Glue, stripes of biodegradable paper the length you want for a row, plus a chilly, windy day, and you have the perfect combination for an indoor session of producing seed tapes. Place the seeds according to the spacing on the packet, adhering to the paper with a tiny dab of glue, and you won’t have to perform seedling triage on your root crops.

Seed tapes have long since been dropped from the pages of the catalogs. They were expensive and, as in our household, I think many gardeners figured out how to make them at home.

This year, I spotted something new that would have more appeal to the way many garden these days in containers or with limited space.

Ask a cook: frozen melons

By Kathleen Purvis McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q:

Can I freeze fresh watermelon and cantaloupe for use later in fruit salad without it getting mushy?

Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do about the mushy-melon problem. Without getting too technical, there is liquid in the cells of all fruits and vegetables. When the liquid freezes, it forms ice crystals, which break the cell walls and allow what’s in the cells to come out. Some fruits contain more than 90 percent water. When that fruit is thawed, it’s going to slump and lose its shape.

For some uses, soft fruit isn’t terrible. If you freeze strawberries to purée in a blender for a smoothie or peaches to bake into a pie, it doesn’t matter that the fruit is soft.

But fruit you want to put in a fruit salad would be unpleasantly soft and mushy if you freeze it first. So the best choice for melon is to eat your fill in the summer or save it for smoothies in the winter.

Terra cotta without the wait Martha Stewart Living

Tips and tricks

Like many objects of value, terra-cotta pots take on character as they age. The clay darkens, assuming a whitish cast from fertilizers and the minerals in water. When kept in the shade and watered frequently, the pots gradually acquire a verdant sheen of algae or moss. But you don’t have to wait for that look.

These six easy techniques help pots undergo a transformation within weeks. Start now, and you’ll enjoy their vintage charm this summer and for many seasons to come.

Although each technique will yield unique results, a few common truths apply to the various methods.

• Ingredients: It’s fine to use dairy products that aren’t fresh or have expired. Low-fat products will work, but higher-fat versions tend to be thicker and therefore less likely to drip off.

• Application: To achieve an authentic appearance, vary the thickness of the materials and the direction of application. Look to true aged pots for inspiration.

• Storage sites: Shaded locations are ideal for most pots while they To induce algae growth, “age.” Do not stack the pots. Spray them occasionally with water, or place soak a pot in water while letting it sit in the sun. them where rain can reach them.

Pots coated with food products may smell strongly for a few days after the ingredients have been applied; keep them away from living areas.

• Waiting: The longer a pot sits, the more pronounced the effect will be.

It’s up to you to decide when you think it’s ready. Most pots will continue to “age” even as they are being used. Be creative. Try combining methods for different effects.

Fertilizer Accelerate the appearance of white deposits by filling the pot with a highly concentrated fertilizer solution for a few weeks.

Pots aged this way are safe for plants because the salts won’t wash from the pot to the soil.

• Tools and materials: wine cork, candle and water-soluble fertilizer.

• Directions: Plug pot’s drainage hole with a wine cork. (A standard cork will fit a 10-inch pot perfectly. For smaller pots, whittle the cork; for larger ones, slice additional corks to fit, and wedge in place.)

Light candle. Let wax drip over cork on outside of pot to seal. Let cool.

Fill pot with water. (Hard water accelerates the aging process.)

Add five times more fertilizer than package directions recommend. The longer the pots sit, the more dramatic the effect.

Remove water, wax and cork.

Yogurt One of the most natural-looking patinas can be achieved by simply slathering plain yogurt on a new pot. Yogurt applied to dry pots yields more dramatic results. For a subtler look, first soak pots in water for 15 minutes.

• Tools and materials: plain yogurt and a 2-inch foam brush.

• Directions: Stir yogurt.

Use brush to coat surface of pot with yogurt, covering it completely.

Set aside in a shaded place until pot achieves the desired look,

Whether applying lime, yogurt or buttermilk and moss, there’s more than one way to achieve the warm and appealing patina of aged terra cotta. at least one month.

Buttermilk and moss Combining buttermilk and moss to encourage moss growth is a common tactic. The moss serves to hold the runny buttermilk in place and vary the texture, as well as to promote growth.

• Tools and materials: moss (or sheet moss), buttermilk and 2-inch foam brush.

• Directions: If you’ve gathered your own moss, remove as much soil as possible. Tear moss into small pieces, removing materials such as bark and pine needles.

Pour buttermilk into a bowl, add moss and combine.

SHANGHAI CABBAGE WITH HOISIN SAUCE Serves 6. This recipe uses the petite Shanghai variety of bok choy. The cabbages can be sliced and used in stir-fries, cut into julienne and added to salads, or cooked whole. Here, the cabbages are steamed and served with a hoisin-infused sauce thickened with cornstarch. The steamed cabbages turn a beautiful bright green, and the sauce lends a wonderful Asian flavor.

Serve with grilled steaks, broiled salmon or chicken.

1 lb (16 to 18) petite Shanghai cabbages, rinsed 1 TBS olive oil 4 or 5 scallions, white and light-green parts, cut crosswise into thin slices (1⁄4 C) 1-inch piece peeled ginger root, finely chopped or minced (1 TBS) 2 TBS bourbon, whiskey or dry sherry

1 C low-sodium or homemade chicken broth 2 tsp toasted sesame oil, or more to taste 1 ⁄2 tsp sugar, or more to taste 2 TBS hoisin sauce 1 TBS cornstarch 2 TBS cold water 1 to 2 TBS toasted sesame seeds, for garnish (optional; see note below)

Position a steamer over several inches of water in a saucepan or wok and heat over medium-high heat. When the water comes to a boil, add the cabbages, cover and steam for 3 to 4 minutes, until they are brightly colored and just tender. You will probably need to do that in batches so the cabbages are not crowded in the steamer. As the cabbages are done, transfer them to a large platter, arranging them in a single layer.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and ginger; cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until the scallions start to soften. Add the bourbon, whiskey or sherry and cook for 30 seconds. Add the broth, toasted sesame oil, sugar and hoisin sauce. Stir to combine, and bring to a boil.

Whisk together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until well incorporated, then add the mixture to the skillet. Once it returns to a boil, cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until it has thickened. Remove from the heat. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as desired.

Pour the sauce over the steamed cabbages. Garnish with sesame seeds to taste, if using. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Note: Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring or shaking them frequently, just until fragrant and lightly browned.

ture over pot.

Set aside in a shaded place until pot achieves the desired look.

If necessary, use a metal-bristle brush to remove any heavy clumps of moss.

Clay soil It’s easy to make a pot appear as if it had been unearthed in an archaeological dig. Just apply soil found in your backyard. Moist soils with high clay content are ideal, since they adhere to terra cotta best.

• Tools and materials: clay soil and flexible wire brush.

• Directions: Rub soil over surface of pot, moistening the soil with a little water if it doesn’t stick.

Place pot in a shaded area for at

THE CHOICE IS YOURS, IT’S TIME TO

least one month while soil bonds.

Brush pot to create a varied, textured surface.

Sand pot in random directions, wiping dust frequently, until you have achieved the desired look.

Lime

Water and sunlight

This method provides instant gratification. The lime solution quickly tones down the harsh orange of many new pots.

• Tools and materials: hydrated lime (available at hardware stores), natural-bristle paintbrush, spray bottle and 150-grit sandpaper.

• Directions: Dissolve 1 cup hydrated lime in 2 cups water, stirring until no clumps remain.

(This amount will age several small pots or two large ones. You can make varying quantities of the solution, but always use 1 part lime to 2 parts water.)

Using random strokes, brush pot with lime solution, applying thickly in some areas, and thinly in others to simulate the subtle streaks of old pots.

Fill spray bottle with water, set it on the “stream” setting, and coat pot in various spots while lime is still wet. This thins the coating for a more natural look. Let dry.

Sometimes, the simplest methods bring the most satisfying results. Soak a pot in a tub of water until algae grows on its surface.

Algae grows best in the sun, so be sure that vessels sit in bright locations and that water is replenished as it evaporates.

LEGAL NOTICE Request for Proposal for Contracted Baker County Marketing Director Background Baker County and the incorporated cities in Baker County have entered into intergovernmental agreements for the collection of Transient Lodging Taxes (TLT) from overnight visitors to our County. These TLT fees are then utilized for the operation of a visitor center, tourism marketing and economic development.
