Mixed reaction on school week in Redmond

MURDER-SUICIDE NEAR SUNRIVER

REDMOND — Karen Gray teaches an eighth-grade class in a modular classroom at Obsidian Middle School and can’t imagine more students in her room.

But that could be her reality if the Redmond School District moves back to a five-day school week, or inserts teacher preparation time into the four-day schedule. Gray spoke during a Redmond School Board meeting Wednesday night and argued for keeping the four-day schedule in place. The board must now decide whether to build next year’s budget using a four-day or five-day schedule.

The district adopted the four-day week as it faced a budget gap as a result of state school funding cuts.

As part of the cuts, the district eliminated 59 teaching positions, and it now projects that the schools can operate with the reduced work force on a fiveday schedule.

After police found the bodies of Steffan, 40, his wife, Dagmar, 49, and son Pascal, 7, they recovered three letters, two of them written in German

and printed from a computer.

A third letter, written in English, was on the headboard of the bed in which the mother and son were found. That note, written in what police believe is Joachim Steffan’s handwriting, blamed the economy and immigration problems for his actions.

“He said he didn’t want to start over,” Deschutes County Chief Deputy District Attorney Darryl Nakahira said.

On Wednesday, nearly a week after Jehovah’s Witnesses passing by the house on Hermosa Road called 911 to report that a person was hanging from a rope outside the garage, investigators released new details about the deaths — and for the first time, called the incident a murder-suicide.

Officials are still waiting on test results from the victim’s blood to see if they were drugged.

Firing Madras principal seems to be only road to extra federal funds

The bald eagle: An amazing Spring break comeback story in Oregon’s backyard — in Kenya?

Alternative getaways to needy areas are connecting with college students

By Aric Crabb McClatchy-Tribune News Service

KLAMATH BASIN — On a clear, cool morning, a bald eagle swoops in from its perch on a cliff overlooking Trinity Lake in Northern California.

With grace and speed, the eagle flies low over the water and snatches a bass any fisherman would be happy to catch. Chased by three crows, the eagle settles atop a tree, high on the cliff overlooking the water below.

The American bald eagle is an amazing comeback story; 40 years ago, the species was nearly extinct. Today, bald eagles have experienced a turnaround.

Each winter near the California-Oregon border, the largest gathering of bald eagles in the continental United States takes place. The Klamath basin comes alive when hundreds of thousands of migrating waterfowl and hundreds of bald eagles settle in the area to hunt and feed. The eagles are a sight:

A bald eagle in California’s Klamath basin. Each winter near the California-Oregon border, the largest gathering of bald eagles in the continental United States takes place.

Full-grown adults can weigh 14 pounds, with wingspans reaching 8 feet.

In 1963, only 417 nesting eagle pairs were counted in the United States, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

By comparison, as many as 100,000 nesting eagles thrived

Hunting and loss of habitat were blamed for initial population declines, and the federal government reacted by creating the Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940.

WASHINGTON — Some of Jonathan Sitko’s classmates at Catholic University spent spring break on cruises or on the beach. He spent his in Maryville, Tenn., building houses for the poor.

“Alternative spring breaks” are diverting a growing number of college students from a week of sloth and excess in Mexico or Florida to study post-election violence in Kenya, help public defenders in New Orleans or teach English in the Dominican Republic.

“You can always just go on a beach and drink beer and whatnot,” said Sitko, 21, a junior from Bethlehem, Pa. “I wanted to experience a different sort of living than what I’m accustomed to.”

Sitko had seldom traveled farther south than the Virginia suburbs. His trip to Tennessee with Habitat for Humanity last week as part of a 14-person Catholic University group exposed him to “a different kind of atmosphere,” he said: slower-paced, yet parallel in some ways to that of his childhood home.

He spoke by cell phone at the end of a day spent installing siding.

For most public schools, the perceived heavy hand of the federal government would become a lighter touch under the president’s plan to rewrite No Child Left Behind. But for others, the consequences of academic failure would stiffen.

The proposal to update what is formally known as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act divides nearly 100,000 schools into three broad categories: those rewarded for high performance; those challenged and shaken up because they are struggling; and the huge number in the middle that are pushed to improve but given freedom to innovate.

“For the vast majority of schools, we’re going to get rid of prescriptive interventions,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan told reporters Monday. Wednesday on Capitol Hill, Duncan laid out what the Obama administration is asking for: “We’re calling for over $1 billion to fund a complete education, because a whole child will be a successful adult. We want schools invested in the arts, history, sciences, languages, physical education, and all the learning experiences that contribute to a well-rounded education.”

Under No Child Left Behind, public schools are rated every year on their progress toward a goal of 100 percent proficiency in reading and math by 2014 for students tested in grades 3 through 8 and once in high school.

The two mandates would become options under Obama’s proposal. And the label of “failing to make adequate yearly progress” would vanish. In the 200809 school year, about onethird of schools fell short of what is known as “AYP.” Even if Congress revises the law, changing school accountability systems in 50 states and the district would take years. Separately, there is a state-led move to shift academic standards toward a new goal for all students to graduate ready for college and the work force. That would mean, in turn, new curriculum and new tests.

Because the Texas market is so large, books assigned to the state’s 4.7 million students often rocket to the top of the national market, leading other school districts to buy the same materials. One publisher, however, has said that changes in technology, including the introduction of online components, make it easier and cheaper to tailor textbooks to specific states and requirements.

Discussions in Texas ranged from whether Ronald Reagan should get more attention (yes), whether hip-hop should be included as part of lessons on American culture (no), and whether Confederate President Jefferson Davis’ inaugural address should be studied alongside Abraham Lincoln’s (yes).

Of particular contention was the requirement that lessons on McCarthyism note that “the later release of the Venona Papers confirmed suspicions of communist infiltration in U.S. government.” The papers document communication between the Soviet Union and its spies; historians dispute the extent to which transcripts show Soviet involvement in American government.

Array of hurdles awaits new education agenda

Historians have criticized proposed revisions to the Texas social studies curriculum, saying that many of the changes are historically inaccurate and that they would affect textbooks and classrooms far beyond the state’s borders.

The changes, expected to be given final approval in May, will reach deeply into Texas history classrooms, defining what books must include and teachers must cover. The curriculum downplays Thomas Jefferson’s role among the founding fathers and questions the separation of church and state.

“It’s not a partisan issue, it’s a good history issue,” said Fritz Fischer, chairman of the National Council for History Education, a group devoted to pre-college history teaching.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan at a Virginia elementary school in January. Duncan was on Capitol Hill on Wednesday selling the administration’s 41-page blueprint to overhaul federal education policy.

The 2002 No Child Left Behind law, a signature initiative of President George W. Bush’s, is overdue for reauthorization. Democratic and Republican lawmakers have launched hearings and bipartisan talks on a new education bill, but there is no certainty that Congress will act before fall elections.

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans raised questions Wednesday about whether President Barack Obama’s plan to turn around struggling schools would fly in rural America.

Sens. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, pressed Education Secretary Arne Duncan on a proposal for interventions such as replacing at least half the teachers in a struggling school, or converting it to a charter school. The options, Enzi said, “seem to be urban-centered (and) may not work in many areas of Wyoming.”

Duncan replied that the plan would allow rural schools to be transformed in ways that would work in sparsely populated regions.

Sen. Patty Murray, DWash., said she had “serious concerns” about a proposal to shift emphasis toward competitive grants for teacher quality programs. She said formulas were the best way to ensure money is spread evenly, and she criticized the notion that there would winners and losers for important federal aid programs. Duncan replied: “Honestly, what we don’t want to do is fund the status quo.”

But for the most part, Duncan drew a positive reception from key lawmakers as he began pitching the administration’s blueprint to rewrite the No Child Left Behind law.

Sen. Lamar Alexander, RTenn., himself a former education secretary, held up the 41-page proposal to revise the 2002 law. “This is a helpful blueprint,” he said. “We asked you for it, and we’ll now take it from here. It’s a good beginning for a complex area.”

Teachers unions disagree.

The American Federation of Teachers, with 1.4 million members, and the National Education Association, with 3.2 million, have both criticized the plan. The Obama administration has begun trying to persuade union leaders, teachers and the public that its proposals are good for teachers and for public schools.

In remarks prepared before Congress, Duncan argued that the proposed policies would elevate the teaching profession by encouraging better tests, by ending the demoralizing practice of mislabeling thousands of schools as failures and by offering teachers opportunities for career growth. “We believe there’s a lot in the proposal teachers will like,” he said.

T S Terrorism charges for 5 from U.S. in Pakistan

N

B Inmate numbers fall, first time in 38 years State prison populations, which have grown for nearly four decades, have begun to dip, according to a new report, largely because of recent efforts to keep parolees out of prison and reduce prison time for nonviolent offenders.

State prisons held 1,403,091 as of Jan. 1, nearly 6 percent fewer than a year before. Prison populations have fallen in 27 states in that period, while they have risen in 23.

“It’s too early to tell whether this is a tap of the brakes or a shift into reverse,” said Adam Gelb, with the Pew Center on the States, which produced the report. Still, Gelb said, the dip, the first since 1972, “took us a little bit by surprise.”

In the same period, the population in federal prisons increased nearly 7 percent.

The Associated Press

ISLAMABAD — A Pakistani court charged five young Americans on Wednesday with planning terrorist attacks here and conspiring to wage war against nations allied with Pakistan, their defense lawyer said.

The men — all Muslims from the Washington suburb of Alexandria, Va. — pleaded not guilty to a total of five charges, the most severe of which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, defense lawyer Hasan Dastagir said.

The men, all in their late teens or early 20s, were charged by an anti-terrorism court inside a prison in Sargodha, the city in Punjab province where they were arrested in December. They were reported missing by their families in November after one left behind a farewell video showing scenes of war and casualties and saying Muslims must be defended.

Their lawyer has said they were heading to Afghanistan and had no plans to stage attacks inside Pakistan.

The court also charged the men with planning attacks on Afghan and U.S. territory, Dastagir said.

The charges did not specify what was meant by U.S. territory but could be a reference to American bases or diplomatic outposts in Afghanistan.

The men also were charged with contributing cash to banned organizations to be used for terrorism and with directing each other to commit terrorist acts.

Their trial will begin March 31.

The U.S. has pressed an oftenreluctant Pakistan to crack down on militants in its territory, many of whom are believed involved in attacks on American and NATO forces across the border in Afghanistan. At the same time, several recent cases have highlighted incidences of foreigners signing up to join the insurgents on both sides of the border.

With 11 GOP votes, Senate sends jobs bill to president New York Times News Service In a bipartisan vote rare in today’s Washington, the Senate approved and sent to President Barack Obama on Wednesday a bill intended to spur employment by providing businesses with incentives to hire new workers.

Obama thanked the 11 Republicans who backed the measure and said he would like to see that trend continue on emerging economic initiatives. In a sign of the significance Democrats place on the bill, the House leadership held a ceremony sending the legislation to the White House, where Obama is scheduled to sign it today.

The legislation’s goals The legislation, approved 68-29, would give employers an exemption from payroll taxes through the end of 2010 on workers they hire who have been unemployed for at least 60 days. It also extends the federal highway construction program, shifts $20 billion to road and bridge building and takes other steps to bolster public works projects. Democrats hope to follow up with legislation extending more than $30 billion in corporate tax breaks and aid to small business.

The law provides an exemption from the 6.2 percent Social Security payroll tax for every worker who has been unemployed at least 60 days and is hired after Feb. 3 through the end of 2010. Employers will get an additional $1,000 income tax credit for new employees retained for at least a year.

While lawmakers have said this will result in significant hiring, several economists said its impact on unemployment is modest.

President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi leave Wednesday’s annual St. Patrick’s Day congressional luncheon at the Capitol. Pelosi locked in two more votes Wednesday as the House inched toward the majority needed to pass health care legislation, giving congressional Democrats and the president added confidence as they worked out the last details of the bill and girded for a historic showdown as soon as this weekend.

Health bill 2 votes closer to law Democrats swayed as White House lobbying intensifies Bulletin wire reports WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s sweeping health care legislation won precious support from a longtime liberal holdout in the House on Wednesday and from Catholic nuns representing dozens of religious orders, gaining fresh traction in the run-up to a climactic weekend vote.

“That’s a good sign,” said Obama, two weeks after taking personal command of a campaign to enact legislation in what has become a virtual vote of confidence on his stillyoung presidency.

But Democrats delayed the planned release of formal legislation at least until today as they sought to make sure it would reduce federal deficits annually over the next decade.

At the White House, Obama met with Richard Trumka, the head of the AFL-CIO. Officials said the labor leader raised concerns over the details of a planned excise tax on highcost insurance plans as well as other elements of the as-yetunreleased legislation.

The long-anticipated measure is actually the second of two bills that Obama hopes lawmakers will send him in coming days, more than a year after he urged Congress to remake the nation’s health care system. The first cleared the Senate late last year but went no further because House Democrats demanded significant changes, the very types of revisions now being packaged into the second bill.

Together, the measures are designed to extend coverage to more than 30 million who now lack it and ban the insurance industry from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions. Obama also has asked lawmakers to slow the growth of medical spending generally, a far more difficult goal to achieve.

HEALTH CARE REFORM

Leader of Irish Catholics apologizes for abuse cover-up Los Angeles Times The head of the Catholic Church in Ireland apologized Wednesday for failing to tell police 35 years ago about an abusive priest who went on to molest more children before being imprisoned.

Amid calls for his resignation, Cardinal Sean Brady expressed regret for his part in a 1975 case in which the church asked two boys to sign oaths of secrecy after they complained of being sexually abused. The offending priest was transferred from parish to parish.

Brady told worshippers at a St. Patrick’s Day Mass in Northern Ireland that he was ashamed for not upholding

“the values that I profess and believe in.” But he gave no indication that he would step down.

Brady’s apology came as the Vatican sought to contain a swelling crisis across Europe. Public

anger with the church has grown over allegations of child molestation and beatings in the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Germany, Pope Benedict XVI’s homeland.

Idaho first with law against health bill Idaho took the lead in a growing, nationwide fight against health care overhaul Wednesday when its governor became the first to sign a measure requiring the state attorney general to sue the federal government if residents are forced to buy health insurance.

Similar legislation is pending in 37 other states.

Constitutional law experts say the movement is mostly symbolic because federal laws supersede those of the states.

— The Associated Press nouncement, a letter was released from 60 leaders of religious orders urging lawmakers to vote for the legislation. “Despite false claims to the contrary, the Senate bill will not provide taxpayer funding for elective abortions. It will uphold long-standing conscience protections and it will make historic new investments — $250 million — in support of pregnant women,” wrote the nuns, in a letter released by Network, A National Catholic Social Justice Lobby.

The endorsement reflected a division within the church. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops opposes the Senate-passed legislation, contending it would, in fact, permit the use of federal funds for elective abortions.

GOP gaining in polls A year of partisan wrangling, tea parties and a new administration suffering the usual fading bloom have taken a toll on Democrats, according to two new polls.

Not since the 1994 Republican revival have the major parties been as competitive in congressional races, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday. A NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, meanwhile, found the nation evenly split on health care, Barack Obama’s presidency and which party would do better on the economy.

Toyota, feds inspect wrecked Prius in N.Y. Investigators from Toyota and the U.S. government examined a crashed 2005 Prius in a suburb of New York City on Wednesday to see if its wreckage could point to problems with the brakes or accelerator.

The “black box” known as an event data recorder yielded information on engine speed and pedal position, a Toyota Motor Corp. spokesman said.

Toyota has recalled more than 8 million cars since fall; the government is investigating complaints from at least 60 drivers who say their cars got fixed but still had problems.

Madras High Continued from A1 District officials said the most likely option is the “transformational model.” That requires the district to come up with a plan to restructure the high school, which it will do by hiring an outside agency to evaluate it. The plan also includes extending time kids spend in class and teaching planning time.

The other options are more drastic — including replacing at least 50 percent of the high school’s staff and closing the school to reopen it as a charter school.

One school district in Rhode Island that chose the more drastic “ t u r n a r ou nd Gary Carlton, model” recently principal at made national Madras High news after the school board voted to fire the entire faculty and staff of the area’s only public high school.

Jefferson County Superintendent Rick Molitor said blaming Gary Carlton, the Madras principal, for the school’s performance is misguided.

“It’s a great ethical dilemma. … How can we blame this on one person, just the high school principal, when it’s a K-12 issue?”

Molitor said. “The performance of the high school is linked to all of our schools’ success.”

Carlton did not return several calls for comment.

Tenure at Madras High Carlton has been at the high school for six years and was named the 2009 Administrator of the Year by the Oregon Business Education Association. The award went to Carlton because he got the school current technology and encouraged professional training for his staff.

Madras High School Vice Principal Simon White said $6 million could do a lot to help students, but the cost is high.

“It’s the biggest hang-up that it does specify the principal has to go,” White said. “Gary is a great guy, a fantastic leader and I have the utmost respect for him. It makes the whole effort important, it’s not something you take lightly and just do.”

Biology teacher Chris Scranton said the district will have to make a Faustian bargain.

“There is always a scapegoat and someone has to take the fall,” he said. “That seems how the Department of Education works.”

Scranton said sometimes students enter the school with a third-grade reading level. Replacing Carlton and hoping all the problems are fixed is “laughable,” Scranton said.

Where money could go Other than having to replace a “passionate and involved” educator, Molitor said, this is an opportunity for the school to help close the achievement gap. Madras High School consistently ranks low on the state’s annual report card.

Since the 2001-02 school year, the school has been graded either low, satisfactory or in need of improvement on the state’s report card. On the 2008-09 report card, only 27 percent of students met or exceeded the state’s standards in mathematics. In the same school year, only 36 percent of students met the standards in writing.

Molitor said the money could go toward before or after-school programs. It could go toward hiring more staff and offering advanced classes for kids.

“We think this grant, on the positive side, this money could enhance the work we’re doing and enhance the programs we have in place to make them even more effective,” he said.

Tryna Luton, with the Oregon Department of Education, said the grant money a school receives will range from $50,000 to $2 million a year for a three-year period.

When the district hands in its formal application this spring, it will have an outlined model and include a budget it will need to implement the changes. The Jefferson County School District is working with an outside agency, Education Northwest, to help with the school improvement application.

“Some districts are looking at this as an opportunity for changes and improvement, which is good,” she said. “One of our main goals, my team here is to collaborate with these schools and help support them in whatever they do implement. We will have workshops and webinars along the way to make sure we inform and work with them.”

“They’re a charismatic species. They have a long and storied history in this country, from being named the national symbol, to the DDT era, (when) they were almost wiped out, to a very successful recovery. The bald eagle attracts people.”

— Fran McDermott, of San Leandro, Calif., who has watched eagles gather in the Klamath basin for the past 24 years

Eagles Continued from A1 The possession, selling and killing of the species were prohibited, yet the population continued to dwindle into the 1960s. The use of the pesticide DDT was a major factor.

Chemical runoff contaminated the fish eaten by the eagles.

The eagles’ eggshells were weakened to the point that the shells broke during incubation, or the young failed to hatch.

The Environmental Protection Agency banned DDT in 1972, yet in 1978 the Fish and Wildlife Service listed the bald eagle as endangered in 43 states and threatened in five.

That was the beginning of an American success story.

The Fish and Wildlife Service created partnerships with organizations such as the San Francisco Zoo and the Institute for Wildlife Studies.

A plan was launched to reintroduce the species to areas of California where the bird had disappeared. Over 22 years, 103 eagle chicks were hatched and released through a captive breeding program.

Now, 200 pairs of nesting bald eagles reside in California, with about 9,789 pairs in the Lower 48 states. In 2007, the raptors were removed from the threatened and endangered species lists, though bald eagles in Arizona’s Sonoran desert — considered a distinct population — are listed as threatened.

Fish and Wildlife officials list two main factors in the recovery of the bald eagle: the DDT ban and the protection of roosting, feeding and nesting sites under the Endangered Species Act. Wildlife officials will monitor the eagles’ numbers for up to 20 years to see if at any point the bird needs to be put back on the list.

In the Klamath basin, the eagles start arriving in November and stay in large numbers until March, but the population peaks in January

Redmond Continued from A1 The district says it could return to a five-day week for about $400,000. That move is possible because the district saved about $4 million through the staff cuts, officials said.

About 50 people attended the meeting, with roughly a dozen speaking. Some speakers backed the four-day week, while a handful urged a return to the five-day routine. Teachers, parents and business leaders spoke.

Many urged the school board to not rush to a decision after just one year of a four-day week and to shy away from going to a fiveday week and increasing class sizes.

District staff formally recommended that the district move back to a five-day week.

Possible drawbacks There are drawbacks to a fiveday week with the reduced work force. Classes could increase by as much as four students per room and the high school will lose most of its electives.

The district, Gray said, adopted a four-day week in part, to keep class sizes down.

“If it was unacceptable last year, it’s unacceptable this year,” Gray said.

When the district first discussed possibly moving back to a five-day week, staff estimated the move would cost $545,000.

But after recalculating how much more substitute time would be needed, staff reduced that number by about $140,000.

The academic results have been mixed so far, and school officials cautioned that teachers are still adjusting to the fourday week.

Not all schools have completed state testing, but most of the available scores have declined slightly from 2008-09 to 200910. Two reading results — third and fifth grade — increased by 3 percent and 6 percent, respectively.

All but the third-grade math scores declined by between 3 and 5 percent, according to district data.

Board member Jim Erickson, though, praised teachers for keeping the numbers fairly stable.

“To see data like this, I am blown away by all the good things that continue to happen,”

Two bald eagles hide in a tree at the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge near Tulelake, Calif.

Once endangered in 43 states, the bald eagle now counts about 9,789 nesting pairs throughout the Lower 48 states.

The bald eagle The bird was named the national bird in 1782. Other facts: • Diet: Fish is a staple but bald eagles will feed on waterfowl, turtles, rabbits, snakes, mice and carrion.

• Life span: Up to 30 years. Bald eagles mate for life.

• Size: Bald eagles stand at least 3 feet tall, with wingspans between 6 and 8 feet. Females can weigh up to 14 pounds; males weigh seven to 10 pounds.

Klamath • Flight: They can fly to an altitude of 10,000 feet, River Basin reach speeds up to 35 mph, and lift up to 4 pounds.

• Habitat: Alaska and Canada south to Florida and Southern California. Concentrations of eagles occur in Florida, the Chesapeake Bay, the Mississippi River Valley, and the Pacific Northwest.

Each winter near the California-Oregon border in the Klamath basin, the largest gathering of bald eagles in the continental United States takes place.

• Status: Removed from the federal endangered and threatened wildlife list in 2007, but still listed as threatened in the Sonoran desert of Arizona and in recovery for the Lower 48 states.

and February, when from 300 to 1,000 gather, said Dave Menke of the Fish and Wildlife Service. The eagles come from California, the West and as far as the Northwest Territories of Canada.

Erickson said.

In describing the reasons for returning to a five-day week, Assistant Superintendent Heather Cordie described the pressure on families and the responsibility of the district to provide a stable place for children to study, eat and socialize.

“We believe it’s in the best interest of students and the community (to return to a fiveday schedule),” Cordie said. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be one size fits all. We can look creatively at what that means.”

Several teachers spoke in support of the shortened week.

Cindy Murphy, a teacher at Obsidian, said she began the year opposed to the four-day week.

But after spending the year adjusting curriculum and teaching, Murphy has become a fan of the shortened week.

“I was the one, not the grumpiest, but I was certainly one who didn’t like this,” Murphy said.

“It’s become very successful at our school.”

Other speakers were unsure of what they wanted the district to do for next year. A mother of a second- and a third-grader at John Tuck Elementary School, Jennifer Smith, said she was torn between the two schedules.

Presented with test scores and scheduling challenges, Smith said she was moving toward favoring the four-day week.

But regardless of a four- or five-day week, Smith said the younger students must finish school earlier. Currently, elementary school days end at 4:15 p.m.

“My only big concern is school, I believe, is ending too late,” Smith said. “They get home, they maybe have homework to do. They’re exhausted, and its time to go to bed.”

But just as some students are adjusting to the four-day week — the district is considering moving back to a five-day week, said Traci Hartley, a parent of a fifth- and sixth-grader.

The four-day week has worked in other districts and at some schools in Redmond, Hartley said, urging school leaders to give the schedule more time.

“Can we explore what’s making their four-day work right?”

Hartley said. “Quit bouncing the kids (around). That’s the bottom line for us.”

The number of tourists to the refuges and the Klamath basin swells during the Presidents Day weekend and the annual Winter Wings Festival, sponsored in February each year by the Klamath

Basin Audubon Society.

For the past 24 years, Fran McDermott has been leading trips to the Klamath basin to watch the eagles.

“They’re a charismatic species,” said McDermott, of San Leandro, Calif. “They have a long and storied history in this country, from being named the national symbol, to the DDT era, (when) they were almost wiped out, to a very successful recovery. The bald eagle attracts people.”

During Presidents Day weekend last month, dozens of cars lined the dirt road leading to the Bear Valley National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. Bird-watchers poured out of a school bus. More than 50 people stood in the early morning darkness bundled up from the cold, binoculars in hand.

They came to watch the bald eagles leave their nighttime roosting homes among old-growth ponderosa pines and Douglas firs.

As the sun crept over the horizon, making eagles’ silhouettes

visible in the sky. Bird-watchers shouted the location of more than 100 eagles leaving the Bear Valley refuge. They soared over the snow-capped hills and down to the flooded farm fields and refuge marshes in the basin.

Fields used for growing hay and cattle grazing in the summer months are flooded in winter, attracting large groups of geese and other migrating birds. Bald eagles settle into the fields to feed. Across the road from the Lower Klamath refuge, more than 30 bald eagles sit in a newly flooded field with thousands of waterfowl.

Their prey is not geese or ducks, but mice and other rodents. A dark-colored juvenile eagle grabs a mouse and sits on a dry plot of ground to pull apart its catch. A raven runs up and pulls on the eagle’s tail feathers, trying to distract it long enough to steal a bite to eat.

Menke, of the Fish and Wildlife Service, said bald eagles are opportunistic feeders by nature, and rodents in flooded fields have been prevalent this year. When there is a waterfowl die off, eagles will dine on dead geese or ducks.

Just over the Oregon border, McDermott’s group of 18 birdwatchers lines the side of Township Road, looking at a field full of bald eagles.

“Pretty cool,” said Phil Henry, of Orinda, Calif. “You can see six or eight together of different ages.”

That’s what McDermott enjoys about leading the groups.

“They were saying they could stay here all day and just watch the field for hours and hours,” McDermott said. “The people were just listening to the geese, watching the bald eagles. It’s just magical.”

Discovery puts dog origins in Middle East Also, links between first domesticated animal, advances in human society are strengthened

From ancestral wolf to modern dog A genetic study of 85 breeds suggests that dogs are most closely related to Near Eastern wolves, and were probably first domesticated in the Middle East. A simplified family tree of the past 20,000 years is shown below.

Near and Middle Eastern wolves

By Nicholas Wade New York Times News Service

Researchers have concluded that dogs were probably first domesticated from wolves somewhere in the Middle East, in contrast to an earlier survey suggesting dogs originated in East Asia.

This finding puts the first known domestication — that of dogs — in the same place as the domestication of plants and other animals, and strengthens the link between the first animal to enter human society and the subsequent invention of agriculture about 10,000 years ago.

A Middle Eastern origin for the dog also fits in better with the archaeological evidence, and has enabled geneticists to reconstruct the entire history of the dog, from the first association between wolves and hunter gatherers some 20,000 years ago to the creation by Victorian dog fanciers of many of today’s breeds.

A research team led by Bridgett vonHoldt and Robert Wayne of the University of California, Los Angeles, has analyzed a large collection of wolf and dog genomes from around the world. Scanning for similar runs of DNA, the researchers found that the Middle East was where wolf and dog genomes were most similar, although there was another area of overlap between East Asian wolves and dogs. Wolves were

probably first domesticated in the Middle East, but after dogs had spread to East Asia there was a crossbreeding that injected more wolf genes into the dog genome, the researchers conclude in today’s issue of the journal Nature.

The archaeological evidence supports this idea, since some of the earliest dog remains have been found in the Middle East, dating from 12,000 years ago.

The only earlier doglike remains occur in Belgium, at a site 31,000 years old, and in western Russia from 15,000 years ago.

Humans lived as roaming hunters and gatherers for most of their existence. Wayne believes that

wolves began following huntergatherer bands to feed on the wounded prey, carcasses or other refuse. At some stage a group of wolves, who happened to be smaller and less threatening than most, developed a dependency on human groups, and may in return have provided a warning system.

Several thousand years later, in the first settled communities that began to appear in the Middle East 15,000 years ago, people began intervening in the breeding patterns of their camp followers, turning them into the first protodogs. One of the features they selected was small size, continuing the downsizing of the wolf

body plan. “I think a long history such as that would explain how a large carnivore, which can eat you, eventually became stably incorporated in human society,” Wayne said.

Dog domestication and human settlement occurred at the same time, some 15,000 years ago, raising the possibility that dogs may have had a complex impact on the structure of human society. Dogs could have been the sentries that let hunter gatherers settle without fear of surprise attack. They may also have been the first major item of inherited wealth, preceding cattle, and so could have laid the foundations for the gradations of wealth and social hierarchy that differentiated settled groups from the egalitarianism of their hunter-gatherer predecessors. Notions of inheritance and ownership, said Carlos Driscoll, an expert on dog genetics with the National Cancer Institute, may have been prompted by the first dogs to permeate human society, laying an unexpected track from wolf to wealth.

Missile strike kills militant with role in CIA blast

By Jonathan S. Landay McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

A view inside the garage on the Steffans’ property south of Sunriver on the evening of March 11, the day the bodies of three family members were discovered. On Wednesday, investigators for the first time called the incident a murder-suicide.

Deaths Continued from A1 Nakahira said police believed early on that the case didn’t involve any outside suspects but needed time to piece together what had happened before calling it anything other than homicide. He said the investigation was complicated by what police found at the crime scene, including letters that required them to find a translator.

“We wanted to make sure it was what it seemed to be,” he said. “You can’t be too careful.

They could go in and just make a guess based on what they saw, but that’s not how this Sheriff’s Office works. They need to take down leads and talk to associates.”

A search warrant filed by detectives from the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office on March 11, the day the bodies were found, shows that police recovered more than 80 pieces of evidence, ranging from blood samples from the driveway and the bathroom, to cell phones, a laptop computer and pancakes tossed in a kitchen trash can.

The bodies of the mother and son were found in a bed, covered by a blanket. The family’s dog and two cats were also in the bedroom, their throats cut.

Friends and neighbors of the Steffans, who had lived in the house south of Sunriver for about five years, said they were a close family that spent time outdoors for fun and ran a handful of businesses, including a construction company and a dry-cleaning and coin laundry in La Pine.

But in recent weeks, they said Joachim and Dagmar had been under stress related to money and their immigration status.

Originally from Germany, the couple were reportedly having trouble renewing their visas and were about to be forced to leave the United States. The Steffans had begun to sell furniture and other belongings and had recently put their home on the market.

Nakahira said investigators are still not sure exactly when the three died. They were last seen on the afternoon of March 10, and the bodies were found the following morning.

A medical examiner looked at the bodies Friday and determined that the mother and son had been strangled and Joachim Steffan had died by a self-inflicted hanging.

Blood samples were sent to a lab for testing, but those results won’t be available for several weeks. Nakahira said investigators have reason to believe the victims had been drugged but said he could not comment further on the issue.

He said the case has been challenging to piece together — and tough on the police officers who responded to the grisly crime scene.

The toxicology results are among the last pieces of the puzzle.

“The Sheriff’s Office is very confident that this is what it is, and we agree with them, but we still want to see if anything was found in their blood,” he said.

WASHINGTON — An al-Qaida militant suspected of playing a key role in a suicide bombing at a CIA base in eastern Afghanistan died last week in Pakistan, apparently in a retaliatory missile strike by a CIA drone, a U.S. counterterrorism official said Wednesday.

The death of Hussein al-Yemeni was the latest blow to al-Qaida’s leadership from stepped-up U.S. drone attacks inside Pakistan’s tribal area following the Dec. 30 suicide bombing.

Four CIA officers, three agency security guards and a senior Jordanian intelligence officer died in the suicide bombing at a top-secret CIA facility in Khost.

The bombing was carried out by a Jordanian double agent recruited to spy on al-Qaida and was a huge embarrassment to the CIA. The U.S. counterterrorism official, who requested anonymity to discuss the case, said al-Yemeni was killed on March 8 in Miram Shah, in North Waziristan, one of seven regions bordering Afghanistan that constitute Pakistan’s semi-autonomous Federally Administered Tribal Area.

According to Pakistani news reports, at least six militants died March 8 in a missile strike in Miram Shah by a CIA-controlled drone aircraft. The CIA refuses to acknowledge it’s using drones.

Al-Yemeni “was a conduit in Pakistan for funds, messages, and recruits, but his real specialty was bombs and suicide operations,” the U.S. counterterrorism official said. “He’s thought to have played a key role in the attack on December 30 at Khost.”

Al-Yemeni, described as being in his late 20s or early 30s, had contacts with al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, the network’s affiliate based in Yemen, the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban and the Haqqani network, an Islamist insurgent organization based in Miram Shah.

The strike that killed him was “a clean, precise action that shows that these killers cannot hide even in relatively built-up places,” the U.S. counterterrorism official continued, adding his death was “the latest victory in a systematic campaign that has pounded al-Qaida and its allies, depriving them of leaders, plotters, and fighters.”

Spring break Continued from A1 “We met the future owner,” Sitko said. The owner and students worked together.

Some college officials say alternative spring breaks originated at Vanderbilt University in 1987, as a student-led initiative to invest meaning into the week. The name might have started there, but the concept appears to be older. Georgetown University began sending groups of students on spring community-service missions to Appalachia in 1973.

Hurricane Katrina, five years ago, breathed new life and fresh urgency into the programs; many colleges now send buses to Mississippi and Louisiana every March.

The Center for Social Justice at Georgetown sent 194 students on 13 alternative spring break trips last week, “and that’s just my department,” said Ray Shiu, program director for student leadership and special programs.

One group journeyed to New Orleans to help in the continuing effort to rebuild. Another headed to El Paso to explore the border community. A third went to Immokalee, Fla., to study migrant labor.

U.S. rethinks Mideast talks after tense exchanges with Israel

By David E. Sanger and Isabel Kershner New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The angry exchanges between the United States and the Israeli government have rekindled a White House debate over whether — and when — President Barack Obama should propose a U.S. plan to form the basis of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, senior administration officials said Wednesday.

The move would be a risky one for Obama at a time that the coalition government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is fragile and the Palestinians are deeply divided. Until now Obama has deflected calls to put his own plan, with territorial maps, on the table.

But in discussions in recent days, some senior officials have amplified their argument that the American approach needs to change. They said that Israel’s announcement that it would build 1,600 new houses in a disputed area of Israeli-annexed East Jerusalem further called into question the Netanyahu government’s commitment to seriously engaging in the peace talks.

After Washington condemned the housing announcement, Netanyahu apologized for its timing, but has so far not responded to American demands to rescind the building plan. The series of tense, back-channel interchanges between the two governments, in the words of one administration official, demonstrated to White House officials that “the current status quo won’t work, and won’t get us anywhere.”

If Obama decided to advance his own proposal, it would likely not be until his special envoy, former Sen. George Mitchell, had engaged in several months of “proximity talks,” the indirect, U.S.brokered peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. There have been no Israeli-Palestinian negotiations in more than a year.

The new round of indirect talks, which were supposed to begin this week, were delayed after the Israeli announcement.

Netanyahu and Biden talked by phone Tuesday, but officials in both countries said little about the tone or details of their discussion.

A senior administration official said the U.S. was “still awaiting an Israeli response to our request that they take steps to build confidence for the proximity talks.”

He appeared to be referring to demands made by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last Friday.

In a tense conversation, she told Netanyahu that it would not be enough to rescind the announcement of the new housing project; she insisted that he freeze any prominent building projects in East Jerusalem and agree that the proximity talks convened by Mitchell must deal with substantive issues about boundaries, the status of Jerusalem, security and refugees. Israel has so far insisted that the talks focus only on procedural questions.

$200 toward travel and lodging.

Costs are subsidized through tuition and activity fees. The program is so popular that, this year, 60 students were turned away.

“We’ve had some students say this is the best part of their Georgetown experience,” Shiu said. “Hopefully, it’s a starting point for students to take what they’ve learned and incorporate it into their lives.”

Although students in many alternative break programs pay a modest sum, Washington’s How-

C OV ER S T ORY ard University students pay nothing. They travel on funds raised in a 12-hour radiothon called A Helping Hand, and they pinch pennies.

“Students take sleeping bags and pillows,” said Paula WhetselRibeau, a Howard volunteer and wife of the university president, and sleep in churches and gymnasiums. “There’s nothing glamorous about this trip. It’s really life-changing, though, what they see, what they learn.”

The College of William and

Mary sent 160 students on alternative breaks last week, to 11 domestic and four international destinations: Cuje, Nicaragua, El Progreso, Honduras, Ho, Ghana, and Zacatecoluca, El Salvador.

“This is really a great unifier,” said Mallory Johnson, 22, a senior from Burke, Va., who helped plan and run the trips. “We have kids that have never gone on break before. We have athletes. We have kids involved in Greek life.”

In her sophomore year, Johnson removed mold from houses

and cleared trails in post-hurricane Biloxi, Miss. Last year, she led a group to Petersburg, Va., to tutor schoolchildren and volunteer in an HIV clinic. This year, one group is distributing medication in Ghana.

“They say that college is the time of narcissism,” she said. But students who spend a few days helping the disadvantaged “see something that really transcends the individual.”

American University’s expeditions this year had titles that show

the scale of the program’s ambitions: “Bangladesh: Rural Development & Women’s Economic Empowerment” and “Colombia: Grassroots Peace-Building Amidst Conflict.”

Shoshanna Sumka, coordinator for global and community-based learning, said she is in touch with alumni who have made their spring break trips into careers with aid organizations.

“We call it post-trip activism,” she said. “That’s really the way that things get changed.”

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF Mexican restaurant to open downtown A new Mexican restaurant, Amalia’s, is set to open in the former Ciao Mambo spot in downtown Bend on March 26.

Amalia’s will serve various traditional entrees and a few unique ones, such as lobster enchiladas, said owner James Orsillo, a retired engineer.

Roberto Cardenas, the former chef of La Rosa Mexican restaurant in Bend, will head up the kitchen at Amalia’s, Orsillo said, adding that Cardenas is the mastermind behind the menu.

Amalia’s also will distill its own tequila, Orsillo said. More than 100 types of margaritas will be served at the restaurant, which will be open from noon to 11 p.m. on weekdays and noon to close on weekends. It also will feature a late-night happy hour, and salsa classes on Fridays and Saturdays.

The restaurant, at 915 N.W. Wall St., will employ about 20 people, said Orsillo, who is still accepting applications. The location, which Ciao Mambo occupied from June 2008 through January, housed Hans Restaurant for 27 years before it closed in 2007.

Bernanke argues for Fed to keep its regulatory powers Agency’s chief fights back against lawmaker’s proposal to reduce its role in oversight of banks

By Jim Puzzanghera Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers Wednesday that regulatory failures by the central bank helped trigger the financial crisis, but that doesn’t mean they should strip the agency of much or all of its oversight of individual banks.

The Fed has been under intense fire for not heading off the meltdown of the housing and financial markets, particularly in Congress where lawmakers are considering a sweeping

overhaul of financial regulations that would curtail the central bank’s role in bank supervision.

Senate Banking Chairman Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., who has called the Fed’s regulation of banks an “abysmal failure,” proposed Monday taking away its oversight of all but about three dozen of the nation’s largest banks. Bernanke fought back Wednesday in his first public comments about Dodd’s proposal.

The Fed is working to improve its oversight of the 6,000 small and large banks that it regulates, Bernanke

said. Stripping the Fed of a major part of that regulatory role, he said, would deprive it of important information about the state of the financial system and the economy that is necessary to set monetary policy.

“We are quite concerned by proposals to make the Fed a regulator only of the biggest banks,” Bernanke told the House Financial Services Committee.

“It makes us essentially the too-bigto-fail regulator. We don’t want that responsibility. We want to have a connection to Main Street as well as to Wall Street.”

Bernanke said the Fed has made “substantial changes” to how it supervises banks to improve its ability to identify potential risks in the financial system and the broader economy.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said his agency has made “substantial changes” in its bank oversight and can now better identify potential risks to the economy.

“I’m just one of many people who are facing these obstacles. The credit (problem) freezes me from any hope. It has the effect of just clamping down your options.”

Blockbuster may file for bankruptcy Blockbuster Inc. shares plunged further into pennystock territory Wednesday after the struggling home video rental company said in a regulatory filing that it will likely file for bankruptcy if it’s unable to address its debt load.

Shares of Blockbuster fell 12 cents, or 29 percent, to 28 cents a share. The company’s market capitalization now totals about $34 million, or just a fraction of its fourth-quarter revenue of $1 billion.

Since 2007, Blockbuster has racked up losses totaling more than $1 billion amid fiercer competition from other video rental services, such as Internet rental service Netflix and kiosk operator Redbox.

MIAMI — Wachovia Bank, one of the nation’s largest financial institutions, agreed Wednesday to pay $160 million to the U.S. government for failing to block Mexican currency exchange houses from laundering billions of dollars — including drug-trafficking proceeds — through the bank.

The agreement, struck with federal prosecutors in Miami, is the largest penalty ever paid by a U.S. financial institution for violating the Bank Secrecy Act. Wachovia will avoid prosecution if it implements a series of anti-money laundering policies over the next year.

acing unemployment in a dismal economy, Vernita Humphries, of Randallstown, Md., was elated when she landed a job last year. But just days before her start date, the chief financial officer phoned her to rescind the offer.

Her bad credit, stemming in part from a divorce and the cost to care for her mother after a stroke, had come back to haunt her. “It was like a real bad feeling in the pit of my stomach,” said Humphries, who worked in payroll for 35 years. When the company indicated that her bankruptcy seven years ago prevented the hiring, she said she “was really taken for a loop.”

SAN FRANCISCO — After reviewing objections, a San Jose federal judge has approved a $9.5 million settlement of a classaction lawsuit over social networking site Facebook’s program Beacon that published what users were buying.

Facebook denied any wrongdoing but agreed to end the Beacon program last November.

As part of the settlement, Facebook will fund a “digital trust fund” that will issue more than $6 million in grants to organizations that study online privacy.

Over the objections of privacy advocates, Facebook will have a seat on the fund’s three-member board. The board consists of Chris Jay Hoofnagle, who heads the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology; Tim Sparapani, Facebook’s public policy director; and writer Larry Magid.

Bend-based geothermal company’s shareholders are at odds

By Tim Doran The Bulletin

A rift has surfaced recently between shareholder groups of Bend-based Vulcan Power Co. over actions by two East Coast investment firms that included firing the company’s founder.

The struggle, which also has been playing out in courts in Oregon and Colorado, pits a group of shareholders allied with the geothermal company’s founder, Steve Munson, against those who support institutional investors Denham Capital, a private equity firm based in Boston, and Merrill Lynch, which is now owned by Bank of America.

The fight is taking place at a time when interest in geothermal and other forms of renewable energy has been soaring, fueled by looming state mandates to increase the use of renewable energy and investment by the federal government in technology to deliver it.

Founded by Munson in 1991, privately held Vulcan holds geothermal leases on about 170,000 acres of federal and private land in five Western states.

But to get drilling rigs and continue steam exploration, the company needed money, according to a lawsuit filed in Lane County Circuit Court by Munson and a handful of shareholders, who sought damages of at least $50 million in one claim and “many hundreds of millions of dollars” in other claims.

A branch of Merrill Lynch and, separately, Denham Capital showed interest.

Merrill Lynch Commodity Partners invested $35 million in Vulcan in 2007.

struggle to pay bills, credit cards and household expenses. Critics of the practice say it perpetuates a cycle of joblessness and hinders economic recovery.

That has stirred a movement to clamp down on credit checks by employers. In 16 states, lawmakers are proposing legislation to limit use of credit checks to hire or fire, while legislation is pending in Congress that would ban employers from hiring and firing based on creditworthiness.

Marie Payzant, a 52-year-old single mother and entrepreneur who’s run several small businesses in Baltimore over the years, said she has experience from both sides of the employment line.

“We’re pleased that Judge Seeborg has approved the settlement after carefully considering all opinions,” Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt said.

One privacy advocate said he’s exploring whether he can appeal the decision.

Some people receiving an unemployment check could be in for an unpleasant discovery April 15.

They may owe taxes on the money.

While anyone who receives unemployment benefits can choose whether to have state and federal taxes withdrawn from their weekly checks, which most people do, some don’t, possibly hoping for the largest check possible, said Craig Spivey, a spokesman for the Oregon Employment Department.

“In all likelihood, they would owe taxes on that,” Spivey said.

“That’s why, obviously, we recommend that it’s withheld.”

Spivey said people are asked to make a decision about taxes when filing for unemployment benefits online or through the Employment Department’s hot line, the two ways people can apply. For both methods, the department recommends people have taxes withheld to avoid having to make a large payment during tax season, he said.

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, March 18, 2010 B3

On March 3, the committee issued its own statements, declaring a lack of confidence in the company’s current management.

Vulcan’s acting CEO, Bob Warburton, is an operating partner at Denham Capital, according to Denham’s Web site, and four board members hold positions with Denham or Merrill Lynch, according to company news releases and Web sites. A fifth, listed as the independent director, is credited in Vulcan’s news release with the closing of Vulcan’s $108 million investment in January. Vulcan received a $108 million investment from an affiliate of Denham, according to a Feb. 2 announcement from Vulcan.

Members of the shareholder rights committee planned to protest at the meeting in Denver, but according to a Vulcan spokeswoman, the meeting took place with no disruption.

Denham Capital expressed support for Vulcan’s current management, according to a statement issued on March 4, and its “ability to operate and grow the company.”

Denham also pointed out a Lane County judge’s dismissal of many of the claims made by Munson, Fraser and several other shareholders in the Lane County Circuit Court lawsuit.

In a Dec. 21 ruling, Judge Karsten Rasmussen threw out six claims and ordered Munson and the shareholders to pay Vulcan’s attorney fees. However, Munson, Fraser and the other shareholders have filed an appeal in the Oregon Court of Appeals.

Continued from B1 Denham Capital, meanwhile, made two investments totaling more than $253 million, one in 2008 and the second in February.

But the two institutional investors gained control of the company and, in November 2008 fired Munson, who lives in Eugene, according to the lawsuit.

On March 4, Vulcan held its annual shareholders meeting in Denver, where shareholders elected several new board members, and on Tuesday, the company announced their election and named all nine directors in a news release.

Board Chairman Scott Mackin, who is a partner at Denham Capital, touted the energy-sector experience of the new members and the key roles they would play as Vulcan begins development.

In late February, the company began drilling production wells in Nevada for its first geothermal power plant.

But Bill Fraser, a board member who lost his seat on March 4, said several board members have ties to Denham Capital, and together, Denham and Merrill Lynch also own half of Vulcan’s common shares. “Denham now has complete, absolute control of the board,” he said.

Fraser, of Florida, also is chairman of the Vulcan Shareholder Rights Protection Committee, which supports Munson and represents 150 investors who hold stock and proxies representing 14 million common shares, according to its new releases and Web site.

Taxes

from an unemployment check withheld should put the amount withheld on line 61 of the 1040 along with withholdings listed on any W2 forms. For people receiving unemployment insurance, withholding amounts are listed on 1099 forms beneficiaries receive from the Employment Department.

Withholdings are listed on Oregon tax form 40, line 42.

All people receiving unemployment benefits during 2009 received a boost from both Oregon and the federal government. Neither federal nor Oregon taxes are due on the first $2,400 of benefits

Continued from B1 With many Oregonians spending record lengths of time on unemployment insurance — the only source of income for some people — a substantial tax payment has the potential of becoming a burden on the unemployed.

“It’s obviously not a fun thing when you’ve already been stretched,” Spivey said.

Last week, there were 210,670 Oregonians receiving unemployment benefits, according to the state.

For people who might itemize their deductions or might claim multiple tax credits, there’s the potential that they could still be due a refund, even without having the taxes withheld, Spivey said.

Richard Panick, a spokesman for the Internal Revenue Service, said people who do have taxes

CREATIVE LIGHTING

Credit Continued from B1 Payzant owned the A Bit of Zen boutique in Hampden, where she sold apparel from around the world until closing last March. She said she discovered one or possibly two former employees stealing from her, though she never was able to bring a case against them.

She’s not sure whether running a credit check would have stopped her from hiring those employees. But she blames losses in the business, in which she had invested all her savings, for ruining her own credit.

Since then, she said, the lending climate and her debt have made it impossible to tap into the equity on her condo to pay off business debt. Banks will no longer give her loans to start a new venture, though she’s run many in the past.

And now, Payzant has found herself unable to get a job; she’s been turned down for positions in stores and restaurants. To make car and condo payments, she has resorted to selling her furniture and other possessions online. She put her truck and condo up for sale and doesn’t know where she will move.

“I feel like a metaphor as so many of us are for what’s happening,” she said. “I’m just one of many people who are facing these obstacles. The credit (problem) freezes me from any hope. It has the effect of just clamping down your options.”

Sixty percent of employers surveyed by the Society for Human Resource Management

anyone receives.

If people received more than $2,400, that money is taxed at the same rate as any other income.

While it’s too late for 2009 tax purposes, a person can change his or her withholding, but changes must be made in writing. Form 1040WH must be filled out and mailed to the Oregon Employment Department, P.O. Box 14135, Salem, OR 97309-5068, or faxed to 866-345-1878, according to the Employment Department.

said they conduct credit background checks for job candidates, with most employers running checks only on selected applicants, rather than all. About half the employers in the January survey said they typically review six or seven years of history. The top reasons given by respondents for turning down candidates: outstanding judgments, accounts in debt collection and bankruptcies.

With people unemployed for longer periods than in past economic downturns, “unprecedented numbers of people are seeing their credit suffer because of job loss,” said Melissa Broome, a senior policy advocate with the Job Opportunities Task Force.

“People these days are doing everything they can to scrape by and figure out what bills they’re going to pay,” Broome said. “Just because you have bad credit doesn’t mean you will be a bad worker or an untrustworthy person.”

But employers and business groups have come out against efforts to limit credit checks, saying they need to know the financial backgrounds of people working not only in banks and other financial institutions but in stores, restaurants, hospitals and customers’ homes.

Opponents have testified in legislative hearings that such limits would deprive companies of a valuable screening tool. And some argued that employees and applicants are already protected under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires an employee’s consent before credit can be checked.

DOWNTOWN BEND

‘Confusion’ over parking rule changes delays vote

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

A series of proposed changes to the city code were abandoned at the last minute Wednesday night by the Bend City Council, after it was told approval would inadvertently undercut parking enforcement efforts downtown.

Councilors were due to vote the second and final time to approve a slate of amendments to the city code dealing with vehicles, traffic and parking, all of which had received preliminary approval at the March 3 council meeting. At that meeting, councilors opted to eliminate two proposed changes dealing with downtown parking prior to the vote. One change, if approved, would have created higher fines for repeat parking violators, while the second would have required those parking downtown to move their vehicle at least 1,000 feet when moving from one free two-hour parking spot to another — the current code sets the limit at 500 feet.

However, city attorney Mary Winters told councilors Wednesday that their previous vote to strip the 1,000-foot rule from the code would have also eliminated the existing 500-foot rule.

If approved, motorists would have been free to move from one space to another downtown indefinitely, provided they stayed no more than two hours in any one space.

Councilors declined to vote to approve the code changes and now plan to return to discussions of downtown parking issues at an April 21 work session.

Mayor Kathie Eckman described the mix-up as “the council’s error.”

“There was just a lot of confusion about the motions that were made at that last meeting,” she said.

Eckman said the mistake was only a minor setback and that there should be no harm in waiting to approve the code amendments until the council decides what to do about downtown parking.

The council has considered a variety of possible changes to downtown parking policies in recent months, and several councilors have expressed an interest in tackling all of them in a single ordinance. Jeff Datwyler, the city’s downtown manager, has said that some owners and employees of downtown businesses have been taking up spaces intended for customers, racking up tickets and repeatedly moving from one parking space to another to avoid detection by parking enforcement.

See Parking / C6

Downtown Bend parking citations While most vehicles cited for parking violations in downtown Bend received only one citation in a year’s time, several vehicles — many of which are owned by downtown employees and business owners, the city says — racked up multiple citations in the period between Feb. 21, 2009, and Feb. 21, 2010.

Redmond school workers’ contract OK’d

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

REDMOND — The Redmond School Board unanimously approved Wednesday both a grievance settlement and new labor contract with the district’s classified employees, a group that includes custodians, bus drivers and secretaries.

The Oregon School Employees Association filed the grievance last month, arguing that the district was incorrectly calculating what a day of leave meant under the four-day week, which was adopted this

year in an attempt to make up a severe budget shortfall. Was it equal to eight hours or to the number of hours an employee now worked a day during the four-day school week?

Until the board’s Wednesday meeting, the grievance had blocked progress on approval of the contract. Under the settlement, the union agreed to give up its grievance on sick leave. But employees will receive a few more hours of personal leave and be reimbursed for the hours equivalent to a full work day. In some cases,

which could be nine or more hours.

The district estimates the settlement will cost between $8,000 and $15,000. The district had said if it lost the grievance fight, the cost would have climbed to about $100,000.

“We came up with a very reasonable solution,” said John Witty, the district’s lawyer.

Classified employees agreed to defer a raise for this year, but a 1 percent salary increase will take effect on June 30, the year’s final day. Salary will again be up for negotiation for

the 2011-12 year.

Under the new contract, some employees will gain expanded health insurance benefits. Employees who work 30 hours or more will see an increase in the district’s contribution to their health insurance premium. For the current year, the district will pay up to $1,038 a month, up from $900. In 2010-11, the contribution limit increases to $1,095 a month.

Employees who work 18 hours to 29 hours a week will continue to receive $900 a month contribution. Those who

work less than 18 are not eligible for insurance.

Before voting, board member Jim Erickson praised the settlement’s balance between increasing some insurance payments and keeping salaries flat for the current year.

“Though there were no great salary increases, I think there are a significant number of people who will benefit from (the insurance),” Erickson said.

Bend UGB topic of tour for state officials

By Cindy Powers The Bulletin

T

he message from the Oregon Department of Justice lawyer to a crowd standing outside Bend City Hall on Wednesday afternoon was clear: Do not talk to the people in green hats.

Oregon Land Conservation and Development commissioners, wearing baseball caps that suited the St. Patrick’s Day holiday, took a bus tour of the city in preparation for two days of hearings on a proposal to expand Bend’s urban growth boundary.

Bend staffers have appealed

to those commissioners an Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development decision that the city did not make its case for expansion under Oregon’s land use planning rules. Those rules require cities with a population greater than 25,000 to plan for a 20-year need for housing, employment lands, infrastructure and public utilities, and show the need for additional land before urban growth boundaries can be expanded.

Wednesday’s tour will be considered evidence in the appeal hearings, said Assistant Attorney General Steve

Shipsey, general counsel to DLCD. So conversation with the commissioners about the proposed UGB expansion was a no-no.

It was a bit like the wizard telling Dorothy to ignore the man behind the curtain.

“Because of the way this is structured, as a public meeting with limited interaction with the commission, it’s challenging to have a good dialogue,” Bend City Manager Eric King said, riding on a Bend Area Transit bus along the city’s east side.

State land use planners at DLCD have criticized Bend’s

expansion proposal, saying local officials did not consider increasing housing density and the availability of employment lands within the existing urban growth boundary.

But King and city planners say Bend is not a metro area like Eugene or Portland and their proposal to add about 8,500 acres in various locations around the city is designed to preserve the city’s face.

King said the city organized the tour to “give a little reality to a very intense process that can get lost in statutes and procedures.”

The hearing of Bend’s appeal is likely to continue Friday.

Black Butte Ranch residents will be asked to pay more for security services in a levy on the May ballot.

Residents of the community northwest of Sisters will vote on a levy that could add 15 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value to their tax bills to pay for an increase in 24-hour patrol officer salaries.

Many Black Butte Ranch residents live only part of the year at the ranch and pay extra for the security patrols.

The Deschutes County Commission on Wednesday approved a proposed local fiveyear levy of 55 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. If approved, homeowners will pay $75 more per year in property taxes for a home assessed at $500,000.

Residents currently pay a permanent levy and local option levy. The permanent tax rate for residents is $1.05 per $1,000 in assessed property value. The current levy costs residents an additional 40 cents per $1,000 in assessed property value. It was approved November 2005, and will expire November 2011.

Homeowners now pay $725 per year in property taxes for

a home assessed at $500,000.

If the proposed 3 percent local tax levy increase is approved by voters in May, homeowners at the ranch will have to pay $800 per year on the same house starting in November this year.

In the first year of 2010-11, the proposed rate is estimated to generate the district approximately $282,100, and approximately $319,100 in the last year of 2014-15.

The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office also patrols at Black

Butte Ranch. There are currently six patrol officers on the ranch’s force and one administrator on staff at the ranch. The money will help fund patrol officer salaries, which is estimated to increase between 8 and 9 percent in the first year of the levy, according to Bill Carson, a union contract negotiator for Black Butte Ranch Special Services District.

The district’s five-year contract with the patrol officers’ union expires in June.

Files logging Scout abuse are a focus in civil trial

By William Yardley New York Times News Service

PORTLAND — Files kept secret for decades that detail hundreds of claims of child sexual abuse by troop leaders of the Boy Scouts of America are at the center of a civil court case that began here Wednesday.

Lawyers for a victim say the files show a centralized national effort to conceal abuse while lawyers for the Boy Scouts say the files demonstrate proactive efforts to stop it. The group has acknowledged that abuse occurred.

The lawsuit, brought by a man who was abused by a Scout leader in Oregon in the early 1980s, seeks $4 million in damages for the victim, who was about 12 at the time. Timur Dykes, a former Scout leader and convicted pedophile, has admitted to abusing the man, Kerry Lewis, 37, when he was a boy.

Scout leaders have been found guilty of sexual-abuse crimes in various cases across the country for more than two decades.

On Wednesday, lawyers for Lewis said in court that they would make a broader case, bolstered by the recent re-

lease of about 1,000 individual files kept by the Boy Scouts of America from 1965 to 1984.

The lawyers said they would argue that the national group was aware of abusive leaders across the country, including Dykes, and frequently took no action to prevent more abuse. “The Boy Scouts of America actually set back the child abuse prevention movement in this country, held it back, because of their secrecy,� Kelly Clark, a lawyer for Lewis, said in opening arguments here.

Parts of the files have emerged in other lawsuits, and officials with the Boy Scouts, based in Irving, Texas, have previously acknowledged concealing some abuse. But in court on Wednesday, Chuck Smith, a lawyer for the Boy Scouts, said the files — sometimes called “the red-flag file� or the “confidential files� — showed that the group had been ahead of national trends in tracking abuse, and he said the files had been kept confidential only to protect victims. “We do not produce them willingly or voluntarily for a very good reason until by a court order,� Smith said in opening arguments.

Clark and Paul Mones, the

other lead lawyer for Lewis, have led several high-profile child abuse cases, including against the Boy Scouts, the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Clark said the files, which were not made public on Wednesday, showed that national and regional Scout leaders had allowed troop leaders and volunteers to work with Scouts for years after complaints arose that they had abused children, sometimes even after they had been convicted of sexual abuse. He said evidence would show claims of abuse as early as the 1920s.

In a statement, Deron Smith, the group’s national spokesman, said the Boy Scouts of America had aggressively addressed the issue of abuse. “Unfortunately, child abuse is a societal problem, and there is no fail-safe method for screening out abusers,� the statement said. “However, the BSA has some of the oldest and most respected youth protection measures of any youth-serving organization.�

The jury trial, in Multnomah County Circuit Court, is expected to last more than a week.

O Klamath drought declaration opens way for assistance

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

Winston Ross / The Register-Guard

Crews with Hamilton Construction work to free a gable of the Chambers Railroad Bridge in Cottage Grove on Tuesday.

Crews dismantle rare covered railroad bridge

By Winston Ross The Register-Guard

COTTAGE GROVE — The gable was stuck, “no trespassing” signs and all.

Much as the Hamilton Construction crane tugging at it tugged, the gateway to the only covered railroad bridge this side of the Mississippi refused to budge.

The gable couldn’t just be ripped off or bulldozed down, because the city of Cottage Grove is planning to rebuild the old structure once it’s carefully dismantled, piece by piece. Plus, anything too dramatic could send the whole bridge tumbling into the Row River, which would send giant beams tumbling to the next bridge downstream, a mere 200 feet away.

Precise work This job required surgical care, Hamilton superintendent Bob Fletcher said.

“It’s a salvage job,” Fletcher said. “Not a demolition.”

The crew was prepared for hang-ups such as this, having already chain sawed key points at the east-facing gable just enough to free it, while still keeping it intact.

Jason Stone, operating a man lift, and Don Fradd, wielding the chain saw, coasted up to the stuck spot and sawed it loose. Then, as the gable swung gently south, Fradd reached out and guided it free from a protruding beam, until it was dangling over the river.

“It’s quite a show they’re putting on,” said Lee Kohen, a Cottage Grove resident who has walked over to watch each of the two days this week that Hamilton has been

removing pieces of the bridge.

On Monday, the crew took the siding and then the roof off, in five parts, flying it above the structure.

“What’s really amazing,” Kohen said, “is how they’re able to take this down without demolishing it.”

Precarious lean It’s also remarkable that the bridge is still standing. The 94year-old structure had been leaning precariously to one side, lifted clear off of its pier at the north end. Were it not for the six steel cables anchored to a platform that Hamilton built and slid beneath it, the bridge could have fallen into the water at any moment, city engineers say.

That’s why the City Council last month declared an emergency to help jump through the state and federal agency hoops necessary to remove the bridge during a June-October window when in-water work is permitted. The city already had the cash to do the job, from a $1.3 million grant from the National Historic Covered Bridge Preservation Program.

The plan was to take the bridge down this summer and rebuild it the next. But nature made the task a bit more urgent, as engineers discovered that a Jan. 12 windstorm had knocked the bridge farther out of plumb than it was the last time it had been measured.

“The project is a puzzle,” said Stewart McCornack, a consulting engineer with the Eugene firm OBEC, which is overseeing the project for the city. “It’s like taking apart a hand-built car.”

GRANTS PASS — Gov. Ted Kulongoski issued a state drought declaration for Klamath and surrounding counties on Wednesday, and asked the Obama administration to follow suit with a federal disaster declaration so farmers can get loans and other assistance.

Meanwhile, federal authorities are expected to announce today whether irrigation water will have to be cut off to farmers like it was in 2001 to help protected fish survive a drought. A lack of rain and snow over the winter makes it likely farmers will not get what they need to stay in business.

NOAA Fisheries Service issued a new plan, known as a biological opinion, dictating how much water has to go down the Klamath River to sustain threatened coho salmon. It takes the place of a federal court order dictating flows the past four years.

The plan finds that operating the irrigation project without restraint will send coho to extinction, and lays out minimum flows for salmon in wet as well as dry years.

Minimum levels also have to be maintained in Upper Klamath Lake, the irrigation project’s main reservoir, to sustain two endangered species of sucker.

The governor’s drought declaration allows farmers to uncap emergency drought wells to sustain their fields.

“The water situation presents a real threat of economic loss to those who live and work in the Klamath Basin — and the state is going to do everything in its power to help,” Kulongoski said in a statement.

Kulongoski sent a letter to U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack saying rain has been 81 percent of normal, reservoirs were 51 percent of normal and snowpack 71 percent of normal in the region.

“A result of such conditions has led the Bureau of Reclamation to estimate that irrigation water will be in short supply this season and may not be available until late in the irrigation sea-

“ The water situation presents a real threat of economic loss to those who live and work in the Klamath Basin — and the state is going to do everything in its power to help.”

— Gov. Ted Kulongoski, in a statement son, which will be too late to be of significant value to agriculture in the county,” the governor wrote.

A federal disaster declaration would open access to aid, mostly low-interest loans. Kulongoski has acknowledged that state and federal assistance will not keep farmers from suffering losses.

Greg Addington, director of the Klamath Water Users Association, said all wells within the irrigation project provide enough water to keep 20 percent to 25 percent of the land producing crops, which range from potatoes to pasture. This year will be the first test for many of them, drilled since the 2001 irrigation shut-off.

Addington said he has been keeping in touch with the Klamath Tribes to avoid the bitterness that erupted during the 2001 irrigation shut-off, when federal agents were called in to guard headgates forced open to allow water to flow to the irrigation project.

The Klamath Basin Reclamation Agreement, signed last month to end years of fighting over water in the Klamath Basin, has yet to be put in force or funded by Congress.

“It is going to be hard,” Addington said. “It’s hard to have your whole life tied up in the ability to get surface water and you can’t get it.

“You can’t help but look for how come. Some of it is related to climate and precipitation.

Some of it is related to biological opinions, and that is just the way it is.”

O B Man says civil rights Massage therapist accused of sex abuse violated in gun seizure OREGON CITY — An Oregon City massage therapist has been arrested on an accusation he sexually abused a patient.

Oregon City police said Wednesday a woman in her 40s reported the abuse last week, and detectives later recorded a phone call between her and massage therapist Rick McDaniel.

Police say the 50-year-old McDaniel admitted the illegal contact during the recorded conversation and blamed his behavior on a sexual addiction.

McDaniel has been lodged at the Clackamas County Jail on charges of second-degree and third-degree sex abuse.

The woman told police she had been seeing McDaniel for treatment of a back problem and was not abused at earlier sessions.

MEDFORD — An Oregon Department of Transportation planner who had his guns seized after being placed on administrative leave wants Medford officials to address what he describes as a civil rights violation.

David Pyles bought two handguns and an AK-47 rifle shortly after he was placed on leave, and police across Southern Oregon feared he might retaliate against ODOT. Pyles surrendered to a SWAT team early March 8 and was taken to Rogue Valley Medical Center for a mental health evaluation. Police seized five firearms, but later returned them.

In an e-mail to Medford Mayor Gary Wheeler and City Council, Pyles asks what they will do to ensure a “similar militaristic police action” doesn’t happen to others.

The mayor told the Mail Tribune newspaper he has complete confidence in the police department.

Woman indicted after Street lights stay on baby’s body found in Myrtle Creek ENTERPRISE — The Wallowa County district attorney’s office says a woman has been indicted after two fishermen found her stillborn baby near a roadside in northeastern Oregon.

The fisherman found the baby March 8 along Oregon 82, the road that leads into Minam State Park.

The Oregonian reports that the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office in Clackamas determined that the girl had been stillborn.

A Wallowa County grand jury indicted 22-year-old Olivia Lorraine Soares on Tuesday on charges of felony second-degree abuse of a corpse and misdemeanor concealing the birth of an infant.

MYRTLE CREEK — The Myrtle Creek City Council rejected a proposal to turn off almost half the city’s 293 street lights.

Such a move would have cut about $20,000 from the annual lighting budget.

The council instead opted to impose a $3 monthly utility fee to help offset the cost of operating the lights. Most of the more than 50 residents who crowded into council chambers wanted the lights to stay on, saying well-lit streets are safer.

State’s exporters need consistent trade policies

O

regon exporters are hoping President Obama can help them tear down trade barriers. But it’s not going to help that Obama has been good at putting them up.

Oregon exporters racked up nearly $15 billion in foreign sales last year or about 9 percent of Oregon’s gross domestic product, according to The Oregonian. With some help, exporters could do much more.

The state’s seafood dealers, for instance, want the European Union to scrap a duty of 20 percent on imported cooked and peeled shrimp.

The Oregonian detailed many other issues for exporters on Tuesday — “border delays, inconsistent regulations, trade-promotion glitches and travel-visa problems.” There’s even a serious shortage of shipping containers to put exported goods in.

There are many ways Obama could help. Last week, he launched the National Export Initiative, designed to put the full resources of the federal government behind American businesses that export goods and services. One of the biggest things he could do, though, is consistently support open trade. Obama knows that.

“When we give other countries the privilege of that free and fair access, we can expect it in return,” he said last week. “That’s the spirit in which we’ll move forward.”

Oregon exporters racked up nearly $ 1 5 billion in foreign sales last year or about 9 percent of Oregon’s gross domestic product, according to The Oregonian. With some help, exporters could do much more.

He took a step backward last year.

He announced tariffs on Chinese tires in September. They start out at 35 percent, then decrease annually.

U.S. tire manufacturers didn’t ask for that. Unions called for it and Obama listened.

Tire distributors, such as Les Schwab, fought against the tariff, concerned that it would raise prices to consumers. Sure enough, tire prices did rise. And the U.S. reputation for dealing fairly on trade fell.

Oregon exporters can’t very well hope other countries will drop their protectionism and buy American if we’re putting up our own trade barriers.

Guarantee cleanup of solar cell farms R

esidents of northern Lake County are caught in what’s likely to become an increasingly common problem. As the national demand for green power rises, pressure will mount to site generating facilities in rural areas.

Like much of the rest of southeastern Oregon, Lake County is prime siting ground for solar power panels.

Energy companies, aided by tax credits and other financial assistance, are taking notice. Some of their neighbors are not happy.

Folks don’t choose to live in places like Christmas Valley because they love the urban life. Rather, they move to remote sites to get away from it all, sometimes including such things as pavement and land-line telephones.

The neat rows of solar panels that have been cropping up in their neighborhoods simply do not fit with that lifestyle. They may be better than the large wind turbines that grow along the Columbia River, but that’s about it in some folks’ minds.

We cannot always pick our neighbors, and with the demand for solar power growing, more solar neighbors are certain to move in. In reality, what those panels produce — electricity — may well be the most profitable crop that can be found for a region that is

high and dry and where the expansion of irrigation pumping is prohibited because of a falling water table.

Meanwhile, the Lake County Commission should do what it can to ease tensions between the north county’s residents and those who hope to farm the sun there. The residents worry that if solar generation sites are abandoned, a mess will remain, and that’s a legitimate concern.

Though county planners say they fear solar companies will not locate in the county if they must insure against abandonment, that fear may well be overblown.

County commissioners have yet to have a final say on the matter, though they’re likely to discuss it next week.

Ken Kestner, commission chairman, says he’s continuing to explore ways to assure cleanup if it’s needed. He worries, though, about putting a requirement on a single industry. Other industries, he notes, face no such requirement.

No matter what the commission decides, some neighbors will remain unhappy, we suspect. Yet solar power generation is clean and quiet, and while it may not look like a cow or an alfalfa field, it’s likely to be a relatively small intrusion of the modern world on the rural Western lifestyle.

My Nickel’s Worth Cost of unions Labor unions once were the organization to make fairness in the workplace.

Seniority. The unions now control who a contractor can employ or a grocery store. What happened to the constitution, freedom to work, freedom to hire? When you look to hire someone, you check their ability, personality to be a team worker.

The unions dictate who to hire. I was in a union for 40 years in a factory where there were people unable to do the work. As a result, I paid their salary with my work. It prevented my promotion.

Teachers unions. New people will not teach. The union dictates you cannot fire bad teachers. Result, poor education of our children, who will not be able to hold jobs.

The cost of unions’ rules will be paid by high taxes. Who pays them? You and me.

ments on their loans until they were repaid. Further they agreed that if they didn’t make those payments, they would forfeit their ownership. Banks are simply following through with the signed agreements. Nowhere was it stated that banks had to forgive the debt, renegotiate the contracts or otherwise allow the homeowners to keep homes that were not owned by them.

I can sympathize with someone being unemployed, I was unemployed for nine months. I can appreciate the pain and anguish of losing the place you live. But there is no justification for trashing the home in retaliation against the bank. Banks give people hundreds of thousands of dollars supported by a signature and a promise of repayment. If the new attitude is that every time homeowners get into trouble (whether of their own making or not), that they are entitled to a handout from the bank or the government, the system will collapse from lack of accountability.

Take responsibility

Never-ending taxes

Recent media coverage has highlighted the inexcusable trend of people trashing their homes prior to banks taking possession as a result of foreclosure. This behavior demonstrates a huge lack of responsibility and accountability, which are the very things that caused the housing crisis in the first place. When homeowners purchased property, they signed contracts stating they would make monthly pay-

As a taxpayer and property owner, I am always willing to support our community and state in efforts to make this a better place to live.

But, in reviewing our latest property tax statement I find we are still paying for our past bonds: the jail bond, the fairground bond, the library bond, the forestry patrol bond, and the four school bonds of 1992, 1998, 2002 and 2007. In addition we now will have the

new COCC bond on top of the new tax Measures 66 and 67. When is enough enough?

Vasa is great We’ve said it before and we say it again: Bishop Robert Vasa is the best thing that ever happened to the Diocese of Baker. He is a great moral and spiritual leader!

Fix sidewalks The city of Bend is to be commended for its upgrade and safety of neighborhood sidewalks, street corners and at intersections. Now I am wondering if there’s enough money in the city coffers to begin more improvement on stretches of sidewalks that have crumbled or cracked and are hazardous to walking.

An example: On Wilson Avenue from Third Street to the tracks, past Centennial (east from Third) and from Wilson Avenue north on Third to the railroad overpass. Could somebody in street maintenance from Bend take a walk in these areas and see what I mean? Besides the obvious repair needed, there are stretches of no sidewalks at all. Hopefully, this is not common throughout the city, but not where I live.

St. Charles Bend, Catholic Church split over tubal ligations

By Todd Taylor Bulletin guest columnist

N

inety-two years ago a group of nuns from Tipton, Ind., boarded a train and headed west to start a hospital on the banks of the Deschutes River in the then-tiny town of Bend, Ore. The Sisters of St. Joseph ran the St. Charles Hospital for several decades before giving the incredible gift of the hospital and its assets to the community in the 1970s. At that time St. Charles Bend became a community nonprofit hospital, but the sisters continued to have operational oversight and influence until Sister Catherine Hellmann retired and moved back to Indiana in 2001.

The hospital’s ties to the Catholic Church have remained strong through the years.

On Feb. 15, Bishop Robert Vasa of the Diocese of Baker announced the sad

news that the diocese had decided to end the formal sponsorship relationship between the church and St. Charles Bend.

This decision has been in the making for several years as Bishop Vasa and hospital leaders have respectfully disagreed on the interpretation of some of the ethical and religious directives that guide Catholic health care organizations. In particular, the two sides have been unable to agree on the practice of tubal ligations, a form of permanent female reproductive sterilization that is often conducted in the hospital setting after a woman has a C-section.

Bishop Vasa asked St. Charles Bend in 2007 for an audit of the hospital’s compliance with the ethical and religious directives. The hospital has been transparent about its practices and openly provided the bishop with the information he requested, including the

IN MY VIEW number of tubal ligations performed at St. Charles Bend annually — which is approximately 240.

We have had many thoughtful conversations at the Cascade Healthcare Community Board of Director’s meetings about if it would be possible for St. Charles Bend to stop offering tubal ligations — a practice that has been in place at the hospital for several decades — in order to come into compliance with the ethical and religious directives according to Vasa’s interpretation. In the end, we couldn’t escape our conviction that the hospital has a sacred trust with its patients to provide necessary health care services to the Central Oregon community. It is our sincere feeling that the decision to have a tubal ligation

lies with the patient, her physician and within her own spiritual beliefs.

The decision by Bishop Vasa is difficult for us as it symbolizes a break with our history. But, we feel it is important for the community to understand we have no plans to stray from the values that have always guided our decisions when it comes to patient care.

The hospital does not conduct elective abortions and intends to continue following its policies around this issue.

In addition, we have a robust end-of-life care program that evaluates a patient’s medical needs and provides comfort care measures including pain medications when necessary.

Ultimately, we respect the sanctity of human life and will continue to do so.

The hospital has a bioethics committee that reviews sensitive patient cases and helps us make decisions that are in

the best interest of patient care. In addition, the CHC board plans to develop its own set of ethical standards based largely on the ethical and religious directives we have followed for nearly a century. Ultimately, we expect little to change at St. Charles Bend. Our name will remain the same and the cross will remain on top of the building.

The Sisters of St. Joseph founded St. Charles Bend with a mission to serve all patients in need. Although Bishop Vasa has ended our formal relationship with the Catholic Church, the board is resolute in its dedication to protecting patients. That mission continues to guide hospital leaders and caregivers today and will continue into the future.

Todd Taylor is chairman of the Cascade Healthcare Community Board of Directors.

Jessie had one sister, Etta Fern Churchill Swanson, preceding her in death in 1997, and one brother, William (Bill) Jessie Darrin Harold Churchill, who passed in 2001. Jesse married John Herman Harder on April 24, 1926, in McCook, NE. Jessie had one child, a daughter, Ida Arlene Harder Harmon and two grandsons, John Michael Harmon and Ronald Jesse Harmon, and three greatgrandchildren along with two great-great grandchildren.

John Harder and Jessie moved to Bonners Ferry, Idaho during the Dust Bowl days and then moved to Portland, OR. Jessie lost John, her husband of 37 years in 1963. Jessie worked as a Teamster Warehouseman at Meier & Frank in the warehouse in NW Portland.

She remarried Claude Darrin and they moved to La Pine in 1973, after retiring in 1971.

Love’s life may have ended too soon at the young age of 34, but her memories and the love we share for her will live on forever. She was a spontaneous child and an adventurous adult. She learned to live every day, as she said, “as if it was her last”, when she knew it could end at any given moment. We love and miss her greatly and will remember all the wonderful things she brought into our lives. We all have a reason for being on this earth, and her family who has struggle through many hardships, now believe hers may have been to bring us closer, when we may have lost one another forever. The loss of her beautiful life will not be in vain.

Love is now protected in the arms of Our Heavenly Father, as is her memory within our Hearts. There will be a memorial service/wake to celebrate her life in June 2010.

Backgammon champion Tim Holland

WORLD’S SHORTEST MAN DIES

By Dennis Hevesi New York Times News Service

Tim Holland, who was widely considered the world’s greatest backgammon player during that ancient board game’s modern heyday, in the 1960s and ’70s, died on March 10 at his home in West Palm Beach, Fla. He was 79.

The cause was emphysema, his daughter, Vanessa Holland, said.

In winning tournament after tournament and three world championships, Holland brought a cool self-confidence to the rapid-fire clacking of the checker-like pieces (the “men”) around the 24 narrow triangles of the backgammon board.

“He did not speak; he did not smile; his eyes rarely left the table,” Jon Bradshaw wrote of Holland in his 1975 book, “Fast Company” (Harper’s). “There was a palpable arrogance in his play.

He rolled the dice and moved the men about the board with the poise of a man who knows that victory is only a matter of time.”

Holland won the World Backgammon Association championship in 1967, 1968 and 1971. (No championship tournaments were held in 1969 or 1970.) Besides retaining the title, he pocketed more than $30,000 in prize money for each of those championships. By the early 1970s he was averaging $60,000 a year in tournament money, and that did not include significant earnings from bets he had placed on himself or his percentage from the winnings of the highest bidders at tournaments where the best players were “auctioned off.”

“Holland is generally believed to be the best backgammon player in the world,” The New York Times said in a 1974 article describing the renaissance of a game played in the days of the pharaohs.

In the five years since 1969, it said, the number of Americans playing backgammon jumped from 200,000 to two million.

In that revival, Holland saw another path to profit — teaching. He wrote three books: “Beginning Backgammon” (1973); “Better Backgammon” (1974), for intermediate players; and “Backgammon for People Who Hate to Lose” (1977), about the psychological aspects of the game.

Velma Frances Hampel January 19, 1923 - March 11, 2010 Velma Frances Hampel passed away peacefully on March 11, 2010 at St. Charles Hospital surrounded by her loving family. Frances had been a strong and dignified woman all her life and died with the same grace that she had shown throughout her 87 years. Frances was born January 19, 1923, in Mountain Home, Idaho, of Velma Skelton and Robert Jackson. She grew up in Rocky Bar, Idaho, where her parents managed a small hotel. Frances enjoyed the outdoors especially mountain flowers and loved spending summers at her grandfather’s cattle ranch in Pine, Idaho. She graduated from Gem State Academy in Caldwell, Idaho. After graduating, she met Robert Stiegler working in a bakery in The Dalles and they married on November 4, 1943 in Ely, Nevada. Bob was a master baker requiring frequent moves for his job. Their children were born in various towns around the West. Becky Stiegler was born on July 10,1944 and was followed by Trish on June 26, 1946, David on January 22, 1948, and Judy on July 4, 1953. As the family grew, Frances took a job as a nurses’ aide to help support them. Her love for helping people flourished and she decided to go into nursing graduating in 1958 in Reno as an LPN in the first LPN class in the state of Nevada. Bob had died of lung cancer in 1957 and Frances was left to raise 4 children on her own. She met her second husband Ed Hampel while working in Reno and they were married in 1959 and a fifth child was born to Frances. Janet Hampel was born October 9, 1960. The family moved to Grants Pass, Oregon, as the older kids left home and went to college. Ed died in 1983 in Paradise, California, where they had moved some years later.

Frances moved to Bend in 1988 where two of her children, Judy and Janet, had settled and were raising their children. She retired from nursing when she moved and continued to help people, volunteering for a variety of organizations and programs over the years, including: working in the cafeteria at the old St. Francis School; Meals on Wheels; COBRA (now Saving Grace); for the First Presbyterian Church in various capacities and Grandma’s House. For the past dozen years, she volunteered with the Victim’s Assistance Program of the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office, working three to four days a week.

Her last day at work was the Friday before she passed. In her later years she also enjoyed working in her garden box growing vegetables and flowers, and traveling with her family to visit her kids and grandkids.

Her travels took her as far away as Mexico, Washington D.C., and various Civil War sites in the Eastern U.S.; always enjoying meeting people and carrying their stories with her. Frances always had a sense of adventure and loved to travel the country by train as she didn’t like to fly.

Frances is survived her older sister, Barbara Walters of Manson, Washington, her 5 children Becky (Paul) Smith of Clarksville, Tennessee, Pat (Bill) Kelley of Grand Junction, Colorado, David (Pamela Hewitt) Stiegler of Greeley, Colorado, Judy Stiegler (Mike Dugan), of Bend, and Janet Read (Randy Gonyer) of Bend, a step-son, Jay Hampel of Morongo Valley, California, 9 grandchildren and 9 great-grand children.

A celebration of Frances’ life was held on March 13 and according to her wishes her ashes will be spread over the hills in her beloved Idaho.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the Deschutes County Victims Assistance Program, C/O District Attorney’s Office, 1164 NW Bond, Bend, OR 97701, or a charity of your choice in Frances’ name.

Tour Continued from C1 Bend resident Paul Shonka took the tour as an “objector” to the city’s expansion proposal.

Shonka, 50, who has lived on Bend’s southwest side for 10 years, said he attended all of the city’s public meetings on the UGB expansion and would like his property included in the proposal.

Shonka said he and his neighbors, who live east of South U.S. Highway 97, will be left in a “no man’s land” if the expansion goes through. Areas surrounding Shonka are included in the proposed expansion so they will

Parking Continued from C1 In early February, Chuck Arnold, the executive director of the Downtown Bend Business Association approached the council with a proposal to eliminate the free two-hour parking in the Mirror Pond parking lots, an idea that was quickly abandoned after downtown business owners

oping or selling their 26 acres at Amazon Creek.

The Beverlys, who failed to win city approval to develop a housing subdivision, say maps, signs and kiosks direct people to public trails near their property, and those who cross their land represent a public tak-

City Attorney Glenn Klein declined comment on the suit filed last week in Lane County Circuit Court. But parks director Johnny Medlin says the city does not encourage people to trespass.

the patrol work,” Carson said. “It takes that many people to provide the 24/7, when you figure some people are off on vacation, some people are on sick leave, whatever it might be.”

If the levy doesn’t pass, then the current level of patrol service at the ranch won’t be maintained 24/7, Carson said. If that happens, at least one job will be eliminated or patrol hours will be cut to address the budget shortfall, Carson said. The total

budget for operating expenses at the ranch is estimated at $820,000, he said.

“You’ve got a set of fairly expensive homes that need protection more than what the sheriff is going to give and at best case, 24/7 service, and the only way we could do that is with this tax levy,” Carson said.

benefit from more uniform planning as well as city services, while he and his neighbors will not, he said.

The two BAT buses provided for the tour stopped at four locations around the city’s periphery where Bend’s Long Range Planning Manager Brian Shetterly gave an overview of surrounding parcels. Shetterly pointed out areas that would, and would not, be included in the expansion and explained how the zoning of those lands affected the city’s selection of some lands over others.

On the final leg of the tour, Shonka said he had a better understanding of those choices and

could see why planners chose to focus on including acreage on the city’s northeast side.

“I can see their point of view a lot more now, just getting out and seeing it,” Shonka said.

He added that he’ll try to attend the appeal hearings today and Friday. The city will present its case, as will the DLCD and nearly a dozen objectors to the city’s expansion plan.

“It’ll be interesting to see how they work all of this out,” Shonka said. “Because it seems like they are miles apart in some ways.”

A proposal to adopt escalating fines for habitual offenders — the proposal considered March 3 — would have kept the current $22 fine for a motorist’s first four tickets, but added a $44 fine for tickets five through nine, a $66 fine for tickets 10 through 14, and an $88 fine for every ticket beyond 15.

Business owners and downtown employees have advised

the council to consider offering them discounted parking in the public parking garage on Lava Road.

A monthly parking pass in the garage is $50, which some have said is too steep for part-time employees working for or near minimum wage.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Defending champ Oregon State bows out of CBI with loss CORVALLIS — John Holland had 26 points and five rebounds as Boston rolled to a 96-78 win against Oregon State in the first round of the College Basketball Invitational at Gill Coliseum.

Carlos Strong added 22 points and Tyler Morris 18 points for the Terriers (2013), who celebrated their first postseason victory since 1959 and their first 20-win season since 2004-05.

Jared Cunningham had 21 points for Oregon State (1418), the 2009 CBI champion.

“It was a disappointing effort,” said OSU coach Craig Robinson. “Our effort was not what it should have been and that is on me as a coach. I am optimistic about the future, I am excited about the future, and I think things can be really good here.”

Boston advances to play Morehead State in a quarterfinal next week. Morehead State won 74-60 at Colorado State on Wednesday.

Boston used a 17-2 first-half run to take a 37-19 lead. The Terriers led by as many as 21 in the first half and 46-27 at halftime. They went up by as many as 28 in the second half.

Boston shot 38 of 67 (56.7 percent) from the floor, including 12 of 32 from three-point range. The Terriers have 13 games this season with 10 or more three-pointers, including five of the last six contests.

Holland, a two-time America East Conference first-team selection, shot 11 of 16 and was four of nine on threepointers.

Oregon State shot 24 of 56 (42.9 percent), including nine of 25 in the first half.

“We just tried to be aggressive from the start,” Cunningham said. “Tried to knock some shots down, which happened, and we just tried to get a roll on it, but it just didn’t come together enough for us to win the game.”

The Terriers’ 96 points were a season-high for Boston and the second-most allowed by Oregon State this season.

SKIING Bend’s Ford wins season’s final NorAm Cup race WATERVILLE VALLEY, N.H. — 2010 U.S. Olympic Team member Tommy Ford, of Bend, on Tuesday won the final NorAm Cup giant slalom ski race of the season.

Warner Nickerson, of Gilford, N.H., finished second, and Canada’s Jan Hudec was third.

Ford’s final two-run time was 2 minutes, 22.5 seconds.

Nickerson finished in 2:22.64.

“First run, I skied all right, but I made some mistakes at the bottom,” Ford, 20, was quoted saying on www. usskiteam.com. “Second run I skied well and skied fast, I kept it going all the way down.”

The season’s overall NorAm Cup giant slalom title was awarded to Sweden’s Jon Olsson. Nolan Kasper, of Warren, Vt., tied Norway’s Petter Brenna for second overall.

HUNTING & FISHING

Eastern Oregon lake might see American kokanee record broken this summer

O

regon’s state fish might be the Chinook salmon, but east of the Cascades, it might as well be a silver-sided landlocked sockeye we call kokanee. Devotees of the diminutive salmon are a serious lot, single-minded in purpose, bent on bending their rods every chance they get to put a limit of kokes in the cooler.

Their quarry is a finicky creature known for wild feeding frenzies followed by days of apparent lockjaw. Kokanee are plankton feeders that follow their food up and down in the water column.

At times they find their feed close to the surface and other times they plunge to depths of 100 feet or more.

Sometimes jigging tempts them to dinner. Later in the year, trolling puts landlocked sockeye slabs in the box.

In most waters, kokanee are measured in inches rather than pounds. They run 15 to 16 inches and tip the scales at about a pound. A big kokanee might run to 19 or 20 inches and weigh two pounds by the time it turns its energy to spawning in September.

If you have ever plumbed the depths of Paulina, East, Lake Billy Chinook, Detroit Lake, Wickiup, Odell or Crescent Lake for kokes, you might have a hard time imagining a 7-pounder, the kind of fish that set the new state record last July at Wallowa Lake. It’s even harder to imagine the world-record fish, a 9-pound, 6-ounce kokanee landed on June 18, 1988, at Okanagan Lake in British Columbia.

That state record is in jeopardy. According to the buzz, Wallowa Lake just booted out another trophy kokanee, a fish that weighed in at more than 7½ pounds after it had been bled out.

Angler numbers and success are down, but bull trout population is still thriving

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

CULVER — The bull trout are there — but the anglers are not.

During a fishing outing Monday on Lake Billy Chinook, I saw nearly as many bald eagles as I saw boats.

Fish biologists have predicted a good year for bull trout fishing on the lake, but angler numbers have been down, as has angler success, since the season opened on March 1.

“We’re seeing 50-boat days as opposed to 100-boat days we saw four or five years ago,” Brett Hodgson, a Bend-based fisheries biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, said this week.

“I think (the bad economy) is certainly a factor. The economy has had an impact on being able to afford a boat.”

But even those who have launched their boats onto Lake Billy Chinook

This bull trout was landed with a Rapala lure on the Metolius arm of Lake Billy Chinook. this month in search of the aggressive-feeding bull trout have fared poorly, according to ODFW creel surveys.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NCAA TOURNAMENT

No. 16 beat a No. 1? It hasn’t happened yet in men’s tourney

Arkansas-Pine Bluff and guard Allen Smith will be one of four No. 1 seeds trying to knock off No. 16 seeds in the NCAA tournament.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The NCAA tournament is famous for the little guys shocking the marquee powerhouses and turning into the darlings of March.

Upsets happen.

In every region, every year.

With one lopsided exception: No. 1 vs. No. 16.

When brackets are e-mailed to the office staff after the 65team field is set, typing the “W” in that 1-16 matchup is about as automatic an annual occurrence as ringing in the New Year on Dec. 31. With good reason: The Washington Generals have better odds at victory over the Harlem Globetrotters than a No. 16 seed does over a No. 1.

100-0.

That’s the career record for No. 1 seeds against 16th seeds since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985.

Yet those unlucky 16s, sometimes schools you never heard of from small college towns across America, always think big even if they should pack light.

This year’s likely one-anddoners: Lehigh, East Tennessee State, Vermont and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Those four have a combined 17 tournament appearances. Top seeds Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse and Duke have a total of 14 — as in NCAA national championships. All but the Wildcats have won a title in the past 10 years.

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, March 18, 2010 D3

S B

Basketball • Blazers ditch VP: The Portland Trail Blazers have dismissed Tom Penn as vice president of basketball operations. The team issued a statement that said Penn was dismissed Tuesday for “philosophical differences.” No details were offered. Penn, who was regarded as a salary cap specialist, joined the Blazers as an assistant general manager in 2007. He was a candidate for the general manager’s job with the Minnesota Timberwolves last May. He removed himself from consideration when the Blazers promoted him.

• Seton Hall fires coach: Fed up by his antics on and off the court, Seton Hall fired basketball coach Bobby Gonzalez on Wednesday after a 19-win season. The dismissal came roughly 12 hours after the coach known as “Gonzo” endured an 87-69 loss in the opening round of the NIT, a game in which Seton Hall forward Herb Pope was ejected for punching a Texas Tech player and Gonzalez picked up his seventh technical foul of the season.

• Obama picks Jayhawks: The First Fan appears to be a big fan of basketball programs from Kansas. President Barack Obama predicted Kansas and Kansas State to join Kentucky and Villanova in the men’s basketball Final Four this season, with the Jayhawks defeating Kentucky for the title. Obama filled out a bracket for ESPN for the second straight year Wednesday.

• Jordan approved as NBA owner: The NBA’s Board of Governors on Wednesday unanimously approved Michael Jordan’s $275 million bid to buy the Charlotte Bobcats from Bob Johnson. Jordan will immediately take over the team after functioning as a minority investor with the final say on basketball decisions since 2006. “Purchasing the Bobcats is the culmination of my post-playing career goal of becoming the majority owner of an NBA franchise,” Jordan said in a statement. “I am especially pleased to have the opportunity to build a winning team in my home state of North Carolina.

• Pilots fall: Northern Colorado knocked off Portland 81-73 in an opening round CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament game Wednesday night in Greeley, Colo. Senior point guard T.J. Campbell led the Pilots (2111) with 19 points and 10 assists in his final game in a Portland uniform.

Baseball • Lee suspended for start of season: Seattle Mariners pitcher Cliff Lee has been suspended for the first five games of the regular season for throwing a pitch over the head of Arizona’s Chris Snyder in an exhibition game this week. Major League Baseball vice president Bob Watson issued the suspension and a fine on Wednesday. If the players’ association appeals, the penalty would be delayed until after a hearing and a decision.

• Texas manager tested positive for cocaine: Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington admitted he made a “huge mistake” when he used cocaine and failed a Major League Baseball drug test last season. In his first public acknowledgment, Washington apologized Wednesday for his behavior, eight months after he told Rangers president Nolan Ryan, who turned down the manager’s offer to resign.

“I made a huge mistake and it almost caused me to lose everything I have worked for all of my life,” Washington said at a news conference Wednesday. “I am not here to make excuses. There are none.”

• Nats release Dukes: Outfielder Elijah Dukes has been released by the Washington Nationals, a sudden move with about two weeks left in spring training. The 25-year-old Dukes had been expected to be Washington’s starting right fielder. He hit .242 with 31 homers and 123 RBIs in three seasons with Tampa Bay and Washington. He was limited to 188 games with the Nationals the past two seasons because of injuries.

Football • NFL to examine two possessions in playoffs OT: NFL owners will vote next week whether to allow each team a possession in overtime in the playoffs if the team winning the OT coin toss kicks a field goal on the first series. Previously, the game would end whenever either side scores, as happened in the NFC championship game in January, with New Orleans beating Minnesota on Garrett Hartley’s kick. But NFL

competition committee chairman Rich McKay says a trend has developed showing too strong an advantage for teams winning the coin toss to start overtime. If the team that falls behind by three points on the first series also kicks a field goal, then the game would continue under current sudden death rules. The proposal is only for the postseason.

• Ex-OSU QB to Cardinals: The Arizona Cardinals have come to terms on a two-year contract with free agent quarterback Derek Anderson. The one-time Pro Bowl quarterback comes to Arizona as the Cardinals look for someone to compete with Matt Leinart, the only quarterback the team has under contract after Kurt Warner’s retirement. Anderson was released by Cleveland on March 9, ending an uneven five-year stint with the team. The former Scappoose High and Oregon State star made the Pro Bowl in 2007 when he threw 29 touchdown passes and led the club to a 10-6 record. At the start of last season, Anderson lost his starting job to Brady Quinn, got it back, lost it again, returned to the starting lineup when Quinn got hurt, and won Cleveland’s last two games.

• Tebow debuts new throwing motion: Tim Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, was the star attraction at Florida’s pro day Wednesday, receiving rave reviews from NFL scouts, coaches and general managers after he unveiled his new, compact throwing motion. The bulky left-hander threw dozens of passes to former teammates Riley Cooper, Aaron Hernandez and David Nelson during a 30-minute workout.

Auto racing • NASCAR spoiler change nears: NASCAR will switch from a wing to a spoiler at next weekend’s race at Martinsville Speedway. NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton confirmed Wednesday that the transition from the rear wing to the spoiler will begin at Martinsville. The setup was tested Tuesday at Talladega Superspeedway, and there’s a two-day test scheduled for next week at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

• Drivers say F1’s new rules reduce overtaking: Fernando Alonso’s victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix exposed potential problems with Formula One’s rule changes, with some drivers saying they could lead to duller racing this season. F1 introduced a ban on refueling in order to reduce costs and encourage more passing and create more exciting racing, but Alonso’s win seems to have reinforced the belief that it might have the opposite effect as the sport goes into a highly anticipated championship fight.

“Overtaking was basically impossible unless somebody made a mistake,” Schumacher said after his first race back in F1 after a three-year retirement.

Tennis • Agassi drug inquiries dropped: Tennis officials have closed the book on Andre Agassi’s drug revelations. International Tennis Federation president Francesco Ricci Bitti told The Associated Press on Wednesday that despite appeals from the World Anti-Doping Agency, the statute of limitations in the case expired long ago and no retroactive punishment was possible.

In Agassi’s recently published autobiography, “Open,” he wrote that he took crystal meth in 1997 and lied to the ATP to avoid a suspension after failing a doping test.

• Nadal avoids upset at Indian Wells: Rafael Nadal advanced to the quarterfinals on a day of upsets with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 fourth-round victory over American John Isner at the BNP Paribas Open on Wednesday in Indian Wells, Calif., while No. 2 Novak Djokovic and No. 4 Elena Dementieva were ousted. No. 7 Andy Roddick defeated 22ndseeded Jurgen Melzer 7-6 (5), 6-4.

College • Iowa wrestling loaded for title run: Iowa’s strength is in its numbers as it enters the NCAA wrestling championships in Omaha, Neb. The two-time defending champion Hawkeyes don’t have a No. 1 seed at any weight entering the three-day tournament that starts Thursday at the Qwest Center in Omaha.

But they are represented in all 10 weight classes, and they’re favored to win the program’s 23rd title. Iowa State, Central Michigan and Oklahoma join Iowa as teams with full lineups in the championships.

After Cleveland’s 18-point lead was cut to one, James had six points, two blocks, two steals and an assist in the final 4 minutes, including a dunk behind his head after catching an alley-oop pass from Anderson Varejao.

NCAA Continued from D1 Yet, the rallying cry from these small schools is the same every season: Why Not Us? Why not indeed? Because if there was ever a bracket where the 1-16 matchup might merit a little more study, perhaps it’s this one: Syracuse vs. Vermont.

After all, this upset has happened before, only five tournaments ago.

In 2005, it was a 3-14 matchup.

Win on Friday, and the Catamounts would not only add to their lore as Orange squeezers, they’d pull off one of the monumental upsets in sports history.

“When I saw that name pop up, it fired me up a little bit,” said Andy Rautins, a fifth-year senior with the Orange who grew up in Syracuse. “I think everybody around Syracuse took that loss to heart. It’s definitely going to be a payback game.”

If the game is even tight at halftime — or especially in the waning minutes — that would be enough of a stunner. The No. 1s usually destroy and demoralize the 16s by halftime — and make CBS want to cut away to a more competitive game.

No No. 1 wants to become the answer to a trivia question.

“Yeah, it enters your mind.

You don’t want to be the first school to lose to a 16 seed,” Kentucky guard John Wall said on Wednesday. “They could come out and hit a lot of shots and they might get the lead and feel confident. We’ve just got to go out and play basketball like we’ve been doing this whole season, and don’t overlook no team.”

Last year, top-seeded UConn beat Chattanooga 103-47 in the third-largest margin of victory ever in the NCAA tournament.

But two other No. 1s — Louis-

ville and Pittsburgh — won their games by 10 points.

And remember, the 16 over 1 upset has happened once in the women’s tournament: Topseeded Stanford lost to Harvard in 1998.

Eastern Tennessee State was also a No. 16 last season when it threatened Pittsburgh.

Coach Murry Bartow said the near-miss helped his team gain confidence and makes them believe they can finish the job this season.

“I think the mental part of it is big, that, ‘Hey, we can win this game if we do these things well,’” he said. “I think our guys really believe that. Obviously, we’re smart enough to know we’ll have to play our best game of the year.”

Sometimes the underdog sneaks in some body blows and jabs that stumble the heavyweights.

An overwhelming underdog in its first NCAA tournament appearance in 2006, Albany led No. 1 Connecticut 50-38 about 8 1⁄2 minutes into the second half.

The 21 1⁄2 -point favorite Huskies were flustered in Philadelphia until, well, they remembered how top seeds are supposed to dominate and used a 20-4 run to snuff the Great Danes’ upset bid.

There have been other “can you believe this?” moments in the first two days of the tournament.

• 1989. East Regional. No. 1 Georgetown, 50, No. 16 Princeton 49: Ivy League champion Princeton was considered so little of a threat that ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale said before the game he would hitchhike to Providence, R.I., where the game was played, if the Tigers won.

“I’m going to be their ballboy on their next game, and then I’m going to change into a Princeton cheerleading uniform and I’m going to lead all the cheers. Let’s go Tigers! Let’s go Tigers! ... Never happen,” Vitale said.

Almost did.

The Tigers led Alonzo Mourning and Big East power Georgetown for most of the second half and were only three minutes away from the shocker.

Mourning put the Hoyas ahead 50-49 lead with 23 seconds left and blocked a pair of shots late — including a controversial non-foul call — to hold on for the win.

“I knew how they played and I didn’t want to play against that system,” former coach John Thompson said on Wednesday.

Thompson, back in Providence to support his son, the coach of the third-seeded Hoyas, is always reminded of one of the most famous close calls in tournament history.

“I always tell them their claim to fame was that they almost beat us,” he said.

• 1990. Southeast Regional.

No. 1 Michigan State 75, No. 16 Murray State 71, OT: The Ohio Valley champion Racers pushed the Spartans in regulation and became the only No. 16 seed to lose in overtime.

“It was one of those situations where you think you’re going to go out there and have an easy game because you hadn’t heard of the school,” former MSU star and current assistant coach Dwayne Stephens said by phone Wednesday. “The game got tight and the longer we let them stick around, we got tighter. Luckily, Steve (Smith) made some baskets to get us out of the jam.”

Murray State’s Greg Coble sank a three-pointer as time expired to send the game into OT. Murray State had future NBA player Popeye Jones — the kind of prospect most of the automatic losers don’t have on their roster. Jones had 37 points and 11 rebounds, one reason why they led 68-67 late in the game.

The Spartans were understandably nervous about being on the wrong end of history.

NHL ROUNDUP

Bourque, Flames beat Avalanche

By The Associated Press DENVER — The NHL playoffs don’t start until midApril, but the desperate Calgary Flames decided to move up their postseason a month.

It paid dividends against the Colorado Avalanche.

Rene Bourque scored two goals, Vesa Toskala made 32 saves and the Flames beat Colorado 3-2 on Wednesday night to keep pace in the Western Conference playoff race.

Eric Nystrom also scored for the Flames, who are in ninth place with 79 points, one point behind idle Detroit for the final postseason spot with 12 games left.

“We talked about the playoffs starting tonight,” Toskala said. “Every game is huge from here on in.”

Also on Wednesday: Devils . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 Penguins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2 NEWARK, N.J. — Patrik Elias scored a breakaway goal and set up another for New Jersey, who beat sloppy Pittsburgh and completed a six-game season sweep of their Atlantic Division rivals.

Lake Simtustus

Kokanee Pelton 26 Dam

Continued from D1 It is probable that this fish will be confirmed the next Oregon state record kokanee. If so, it will share the United States kokanee record with a fish caught on Montana’s Hauser Lake in 2003.

Consider that last year’s staterecord fish was close to its peak weight in July. Now think about this latest fish, landed in February, with a long growing season ahead.

This latest record-beater would have put on a lot more weight if it hadn’t made the fatal mistake of grabbing a jig on a cold February afternoon. If there was one big fish, there are others still putting on pounds. And we could see a new U.S. record by the end of summer, perhaps a new world record from Wallowa Lake.

If you haven’t opened the 2010 Oregon Fishing Regulations, you may not be aware of a new rule that is likely to empower kokanee trollers and still-fishermen around the state. For 2010,

Lures, seen here on the fishing line, can be used to cast for bull trout on Lake Billy Chinook.

FLY-TYING CORNER

FISHING REPORT

Steelhead catch rates increasing on Hood River

bull trout longer than 24 inches per day. If they keep one they can continue fishing, but only for a different species. The trout bag limit is five. All bull trout not kept in the daily catch limit must be immediately released unharmed. Kokanee are included as part of the trout bag limit.

A Warm Springs tribal angling permit ($10 per day) is required to fish on the Metolius arm.

Bull trout are typically characterized by their aggressive feeding on kokanee and by their coloring: olive green to bronze backs, with pale yellow, orange or salmon-colored spots.

Federally listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1998, bull trout are continuing to thrive in Lake Billy Chinook.

As the kokanee population goes, so goes the bull trout, according to Hodgson. The two populations surged in the late 1990s and peaked in 2006, but they had been in decline since then — until last year.

“In 2009 we saw a significant rebound in kokanee numbers and bull trout,” Hodgson said.

“The two populations seem to be tracking quite closely together.”

Garrison and I finished the day with 10 fish between us — not a bad outing considering the slow start to the season.

I have a feeling that the fishing will pick up at Lake Billy Chinook. And that the anglers there will soon outnumber the eagles.

the best time to fish for 12- to 18-inch rainbow and brown trout in Haystack Reservoir. Trolling is the most effective method, however, bank anglers are often successful near the dam and fishing platform.

Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

HOOD RIVER: Flows are good on the Hood River with good numbers of winter steelhead being caught by anglers. Spring weather has been warming the Hood and increasing catch rates as the water warms. The peak of the winter steelhead run on the Hood will be the end of March and beginning of April.

CENTRAL ZONE

Copper Pupa, courtesy The Fly Fisher’s Place.

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

Trout fishermen are thinking big in April and May — big bugs, big water and big trout. The salmonfly hatch gets all the press, but tiny nymphs can provide a lot of action, especially when paired with a large, heavy stonefly nymph.

The Copper Pupa represents an emerging caddis fly.

The bead and wire help get it down, which makes this a good choice in big water. Fish this pattern as part of a twofly rig with another nymph beneath a strike indicator. In faster water, set the indicator at twice the depth of the fish.

Cast upstream and mend the line for a long, drag-free drift. Set the hook if the indicator does anything fishy.

Tie the Copper Pupa on a No. 14-16 nymph hook.

Slide a small brass or tungsten bead up to the eye of the hook. For the tails, use orange biots. Start the body with fine copper wire at the tail and wrap forward, securing a piece of orange vernille on top. At the thorax, tie in two pieces of green Flashabou. Build the thorax of peacock herl then pull down the wingcase. Add two pieces of mallard flank for wings. Epoxy the wingcase to finish.

CRESCENT LAKE: Boat launching access to the lake is available at the Crescent Lake Lodge. There is currently good opportunity for lake trout and brown trout.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Population estimates from 2009 show an increase in redband populations and a decrease in whitefish populations; fishing is good. Dry-fly action is increasing; however, nymphs are still providing the most success. Flows on the Crooked River are currently 77cfs.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: The Metolius arm is open. Angler effort has been light.

Several legal-sized bull trout (greater than 24 inches) have been caught, but most bull trout being reported are in the 16- to 20-inch range.

METOLIUS RIVER: Fishing has been up and down but is generally good.

There have been strong hatches of blue-wing olive and October caddis, with a few March Browns as well. The mainstem Metolius upstream from Allingham Bridge is currently closed to angling.

DESCHUTES RIVER (mouth to the northern boundary of the Warm Springs Reservation): Look for blue-winged olive and caddis hatches during mid-day.

Stonefly nymphs will also start getting more active in March and fish will certainly start keying in on them.

FALL RIVER: Fall River above the falls remains open to fly angling only. Probably the best fly fishing in the region right now with good hatches of bluewing olive, midges and tan caddis.

Continued from D1 Hodgson and other biologists were expecting a big year for bull trout based on last year’s creel surveys, the numbers of bull trout caught and released, and fall spawning surveys in the Metolius River, which feeds Lake Billy Chinook.

“The fish are out there,” Hodgson says. “Why they’re not being caught in big numbers is open to speculation. It might have to do with water temperature or conditions, or depth.”

On Monday, we set out on Lake Billy Chinook hoping to buck the trend and land some bull trout.

John Garrison, of Garrison’s Guide Service in Sunriver, launched his 24-foot pontoon from Cove Palisades State Park as the bright morning sun peered over the canyon wall to the east.

We shouted our “hellos” to the cove mascot, a once-domesticated goat that now roams the steep, rocky cliffs on the east shore of Lake Billy Chinook. In the distance, snow-covered Mount Jefferson jutted above the rimrock.

A bald eagle was perched atop a juniper tree close to shore as a few horses and cows foraged for food along the north bank of the Metolius arm of the lake on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation.

Chukar sounded their distinctive calls high up on the sagebrush- and rock-covered hillside.

A couple other fishing boats cozied up to the reservation side of the Metolius arm.

The plan was to cast Rapala lures close to shore, hoping to tempt hungry bull trout, which will feed on almost anything, including crayfish near the bank.

“The reason I like to cast is it’s more fun, and more exciting when you get to see (the bull trout) chase the lure,” Garrison said. “You don’t get that trolling.

I don’t usually catch them close to shore casting until April. But this year it’s ready.”

As water temperatures warm in March and April, the fish become more active, according to Hodgson.

The water temperature on Garrison’s Fishfinder read 48 degrees, just about right.

“About 46 to 52 (degrees) is good,” Garrison said.

We began casting — over and over again — usually coming close to the rock-lined bank. We reeled in quickly, aiming to get the bull trout to chase the sinking lure and latch on. Garrison moved the boat frequently to let us cover as much water near shore as possible.

After nearly two hours of casting, we had yet to land a fish.

Finally, I saw two fish follow my lure toward the boat, and I yelled. But so did Garrison — and he had a fish on. He reeled in a 14-inch bull trout, and then another one just five minutes later.

We moved to the south bank of the Metolius arm, and I soon had another bull at the boat. Its pinkdotted, dark-green back gleamed in the sun.

We changed tactics after Garrison detected a large school of kokanee on his Fishfinder. He anchored the boat and baited our lines with herring.

“We’ve got a lot of kokanee right below us, and if there’s kokanee, the bulls are underneath feeding on them,” Garrison noted.

Kokanee were splashing out of the water all around the boat, but the bull trout did not seem to go for the herring.

We switched back to casting lures, and I spotted another bald eagle as the kokanee continued breaking the water’s surface.

Garrison hauled in a 19-inch bull, and we admired it before releasing it back into the lake.

The guide brought in fish after fish as I sulked.

With yet another fish on, he yelled, “Oh, baby!”

I continued sulking but then felt a strong pull on my line.

“I got one too!”

It was a double hookup: two nice 16-inch bulls.

On Lake Billy Chinook, anglers are allowed to keep one

anglers can employ two rods if they buy a special Two-Rod Angling License.

Kokanee anglers, take note, you can troll with four baits and double or quadruple your offerings and your chances.

Once you locate fish, set the downrigger to run the first bait at the bottom limit of the school.

Clip a drop line at 20 feet above the downrigger ball. Set the next rod to run 10 feet above the downrigger and run a drop line 20 feet up. Now you have baits running deep and shallow, prospecting for feeders throughout the water column. On the other side of the boat your buddy is doing the same thing — eight baits in the water for two anglers.

You’re going to want to fish Wallowa Lake this year. You won’t be alone. If you need to fine-tune your fishing before you go, there are three kokanee derbies slated for this summer on local waters.

THE BULLETIN • THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2010

Most trails snow-free Bulletin staff report It’s spring break, and with the recent mild temperatures, spring seems imminent. Some lowerelevation trails are snow-free far before they normally would be, says Chris Sabo, trails specialist for Deschutes National Forest.

Spring break can mean heavy crowds on upper- and lower-elevation trails, says Sabo. He warns that the nearer you are to the existing snow line, the more likely you will encounter icy, wet, muddy or soft conditions. “Trail sections with these conditions are fragile and subject to tread damage and erosion when users hike, bike or horse ride on them,” he says. Trail users are asked to stay off of trails showing those conditions.

“Trashing soft/muddy trails means rough trail conditions during the main season and lots of extra work for volunteers to repair them,” Sabo says.

Deschutes River Trail, from Entrada Lodge to Slough Picnic Area, is reportedly snow-free and mostly in good condition, Sabo says. River access roads along Forest Road 41 to Benham Falls West are snowfree, drivable and in fair condition, but drivers can expect potholes and rutted sections.

Phil’s Trail is reportedly in good condition to Marvin’s Gardens and then on to the Deschutes River Trail. Trails west of Phil’s get into soft and muddy conditions with the increase in elevation and a likelihood of patchy to solid snow, Sabo says.

Metolius River Trail is snowfree and has mostly firm tread, but expect some soft to possibly muddy sections.

Peterson Ridge Trail is reportedly in good condition and is even seeing dusty conditions. Be aware of construction/heavy equipment traffic along the irrigation canal as crews are laying pipe.

Deschutes County Road Department has begun spring road plowing on Highway 46 south of Deschutes Bridge. Sabo says that plowed roads will remain closed during plowing operations, activity mainly affecting snowmobilers who may want to venture south of Deschutes Bridge toward Crescent Ranger District. However, snow levels on those trails is marginal at best in some areas.

Like you (I hope), I sprung forward Saturday night, setting my clock ahead and losing an hour of sleep.

It’s a small price to pay, I say, for more sunshine at the end of a work day.

More sunshine at the end of a work day is good for the soul. If your job is like mine, you sit in a cubicle next to a window, and that window has shown a drab scene for the past few months. But thanks to the Earth’s rotation, office windows across the area will taunt us with a bright and vibrant Central Oregon summer soon.

The daylight saving time shift last weekend means we now have plenty of post-5 p.m. time to get out and play. On Monday, as temperatures reached into the 60s, I took advantage of that extra time by heading to Shevlin Park for a short ride on my long-neglected bicycle.

Let’s clear up one thing right now: A hard-core cyclist could’ve gone and did what I did two weeks ago and been home before the sunset. But I am not a hard-core cyclist. I am not even a cyclist. I am a guy who has a bike in his garage.

My bike has been buried behind a pingpong table and a bucket of gardening supplies for a while now.

Loved ones’ final wishes honor unique individuals Dear Abby: I’m writing to encourage “Wants to Do Right by Mama” (Jan. 25) to honor her mother’s final wishes regarding her burial attire and the position of her body. Several years ago, I sat down with my parents and we talked about their wishes for when they die. We discussed everything from the distribution of their assets to the type of funerals they want. I learned that my father would like a large tombstone, which is something I never knew, so I asked him to draw up exactly what he had in mind.

Mom and Dad have already written their obituaries for the newspaper. Mom listed all the songs to be played at her service and the flowers she wants. We visited funeral homes, and discussed coffins and services, etc. Since then, they have changed their minds several times and have now decided they prefer cremation.

Everything is written down and I sent copies to my brother, who lives out of town. Both of us want to respect our parents’ wishes.

It wasn’t as difficult as we thought it would be, and when the time comes and everyone is emotionally spent, the arrangements will already be in place.

— Jim in Chesterfield, Mo. Dear Jim: I congratulate you for having that important discussion with your parents. A number of readers commented on that letter. Their remarks made me smile, so I’ll share. Read on: Dear Abby: My father wanted to be buried without any clothes on and without his dentures. His reasoning was he came into the world naked and toothless, and he wanted to go out the same way. To my brother’s dismay, Daddy got his wish. He was, however, covered discreetly by a lovely blue sheet.

— Missing Daddy Dear Abby: My children know for a fact that if I’m ever unable to care for myself, they’ll have to pluck out my chin hairs. Whether I’m in a nursing home or in a coffin, if there are any coarse

D E A R ABBY hairs sprouting from my chin, I’ll come back and haunt them.

— Martha in Green Bay Dear Abby: When we buried my mother, Dad realized his burial plot next to hers would be so close to the road that visitors might drive over it or park on his grave.

So he requested that when he was interred, a nail be placed in his fist so he could reach up and pop their tires. When he passed away last August, we gave him the largest nail we could find.

— Daddy’s Daughter Dear Abby: Our mother saved her favorite square dancing outfit for when the angels called her, and we honored her wishes when she passed away a few months ago at the age of 89. She was completely decked out in her dress, right down to the “full” slip, shoes and six-shooter earrings. We miss her terribly, but can’t help smiling when we think of her in her dress.

— Did Right By Mama, Othello, Wash.

Dear Abby: My great-grandma also requested that she be buried in her pajamas, but said she also wanted a fork placed in her hands.

We could understand the pajamas — given the “long sleep” — but the fork had us stumped. She explained that when dishes were cleared after family dinners when she was growing up and dessert was on its way, her father would say, “Hold onto your fork, the best is yet to come!”

We did as my great-grandmother asked, and it helped those of us who were grieving to remember that she’s now enjoying her “just desserts.”

‘FlashForward’ looks ahead, not behind

By Rick Bentley McClatchy-Tribune News Service

LOS ANGELES — ABC launched “FlashForward” in September to generally good reviews and ratings.

Then, after 10 episodes, it was pulled and has been off the air for more than three months. The series returns to the ABC schedule with a two-hour special tonight.

If you’ve forgotten (or never watched) “FlashForward,” it deals with an incident that caused everyone on the planet to black out for 137 seconds. They awoke with a glimpse of what their future would be on April 29.

This next batch of shows will delve into the mystery behind the blackout and there will be another flash forward.

Before “FlashForward,” Joseph Fiennes worked in the very structured worlds of movies and theater. Whether it was the period film “Shakespeare in Love” or the quirky modern day “Running With Scissors,” the British actor knew the beginning, middle and end of the character.

In most television series there’s only the present. But “FlashForward” offers a different challenge for actors because all of the characters have been given what they believe are glimpses into their futures. The actors must decide whether to use the glimpses to play their characters or just treat each episode as it blindly unfolds.

That acting dilemma has been a challenge to Fiennes in playing Mark Benford, the FBI agent who’s leading

the line even though I might not know what the outcome will be,” Fiennes said during an interview on the set of the show. “Sometimes it can be frustrating and sometimes you just have to let go.”

Fiennes has had adjust his acting style to fit the uniquely designed show. He’s learned to be more willing to improvise, accept contradictions in his character and adjust to last-second changes.

“FlashForward” operates on the principle that to a certain degree everyone is predestined.

Fiennes believes that everyone is predisposed genetically to a certain path and it’s just anomalies along the way that make people different.

Fiennes knows enough about future episodes to say many of the mysteries from the first flash forward will be addressed.

“Hopefully it will satisfy everyone. But, at the same time, there will be something else afoot,” Fiennes said.

Michael Jackson performs in Kansas City, Mo., in 1988. Jackson’s estate has landed the late King of Pop the biggest recording deal in history: a $200 million guaranteed contract with Sony Music Entertainment for 10 projects over seven years.

Sony bets MJ fans won’t stop ‘til they get enough

By Ryan Nakash im a and L ind a Deu tsch The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The record-breaking deal in which Michael Jackson’s estate will get up to $250 million in the next seven years probably isn’t a huge gamble for the company that will pay the money out, Sony Music Entertainment.

Before he died in June at age 50, Jackson, a prolific songwriter, left dozens of unreleased recordings that are sure to be in high demand. Those include studio sessions from some of his best albums and recently recorded songs made with the likes of Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am.

Under a deal officially announced Tuesday, Sony has guaranteed Jackson’s estate $200 million for 10 projects over the next seven years. One of them, a movie and album called “This Is It,” was already completed. If certain conditions are met, the payment could rise to $250 million.

Since Jackson’s death, estate co-administrator John McClain, a childhood friend and Jackson producer, has combed through boxes of tapes and recordings Jackson left behind. McClain and the other co-administrator, John Branca, who cut the Sony deal, each stand to make 5 percent on every new dollar of revenue brought into the estate.

McClain found about 60 songs in various forms that have never been released, according to people familiar with the songs, who spoke on condition of anonymity because what will be done with the material remains in flux.

Even if only half of them are commercially viable, that would be enough for two or three albums. And some songs could also be packaged with already-heard material. That likely wouldn’t detract from a new album’s value.

It might even add to it, because fans have been flocking to known commodities in music.

For example, 14 remastered albums from The Beatles catalog sold 13 million copies worldwide in the four months after they were released last September.

Bob Seger’s “Greatest Hits,” an album that came out in 1994, was the best-selling catalog album of the last decade, with 9 million albums sold to date.

Jackson’s own two-disc set that accompanied the concert rehearsal footage in “This Is It” has

sold 5 million copies, and it had only one new song. That was the title song, which Jackson wrote with Paul Anka around the time the “Thriller” album was becoming a smash hit.

With the album selling for $10 to $14, the revenue generated from sales is already well beyond the tens of millions of dollars needed to cover the per-project guarantees Sony is promising.

“He always said his children would never have anything to worry about because he had volumes of songs to release,” said Raymone Bain, who began representing Jackson during his child molestation trial in 2005, in an interview Tuesday.

Bain, who is also suing the estate for fees, said Jackson told her he had “thousands of recordings” that he wanted to aim at a youthful audience, and spent nights during the trial writing new tunes as therapy.

“He wanted to prove to a new demographic group that he was still a major player in the industry,” she said. “That’s why he added Akon and Fergie and will.i.am to the 25th anniversary recording of ‘Thriller.’”

What they crave Releases from well-established artists have other advantages.

An older fan base is more accustomed to buying whole albums than are younger fans familiar with free song-swapping online.

A long sales history also makes it easier to evaluate what catalogs are worth.

Speculation on exactly what unreleased songs exist (and how good they are) has been rampant since the King of Pop’s death.

Many who collaborated with Jackson in his later years have discussed their work with him, including will.i.am and Akon, who is a Senegalese R&B singer.

Several unreleased Jackson songs have leaked, though many of them are in dubious forms. A 24-second clip of the song “A Place With No Name” was on TMZ.com shortly after Jackson’s death. A track Jackson recorded with Lenny Kravitz, “Another Day,” also got out last year, though Kravitz said it wasn’t a proper, finished version of the song.

Whatever the unreleased material comprises, the Sony deal suggested that repurposing Jackson material across several formats — from DVDs to video games — will be of particular importance.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, March 18, 2010: This year, you break precedence and open up to new types of change. You are also likely to land on your feet more often. You are beginning a new life cycle and opening doors. You could be amazed by what life offers you if you are willing. If you are single, you feel much more connected than in the past. You could meet someone very special to your life’s history. If you are attached, the two of you connect on a deeper level. Communication will flourish for those born today.

TAURUS anchors you.

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 Know your limits and understand that you can help others feel inspired, too. If many people feel the way you do, there is a greater likelihood that what you want could happen. Pressure builds, and you handle a matter directly. Tonight: Gather your bills.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your ability to handle pressure and stay ahead of situations emerges. A boss might think he or she has a good idea, but you disagree. Be careful how you approach this matter, for all parties’ sake. Tonight: Think “weekend.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Use the morning, when clearly you are on top of your game.

Think positively about what must occur if you are going to try another approach. Sometimes it is wiser

to sit back and just think. New ideas come up naturally. Tonight: Take some needed downtime.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening. You might not want to assume control. On the other hand, you might consider trying another approach or doing something in a totally different manner. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Keep your mind open before taking action. You might want to review a situation with more intensity. Be careful with how you handle your temper. Focus and decide on the most effective manner of self-expression. Let creativity flourish. Tonight: Be yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Take an overview this afternoon, and your perspective could change radically. Investigate what is going on with a child or someone at a distance. Be aware of what is going on behind the scenes — even with you! Tonight: Get another perspective.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Let others do what they want — run with the ball.

There is nothing you can do to change directions. Investigate the alternatives presented to you.

Understand what is motivating someone. Discussions could be nothing less than disruptive.

Tonight: Togetherness works.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Defer to someone else.

You might want to understand what is happening with this person.

Listen more, and you’ll gain a sense of grounding. A boss could be most pushy and demanding.

Be diplomatic under pressure.

Tonight: Say “yes” to a loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your smile melts boundaries with ease. You are sensitive to difficult circumstances.

Your creativity peaks, and others love to hear your suggestions if you approach them appropriately.

Still, some details and work do need to be cleared out.

Tonight: Could be late.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Anchor in and know what you want. You are on top of your game.

Stay more in touch with your needs and with others’. Your instincts play a role with a financial situation.

Avoid a wild risk if possible. Be sure you know what to expect.

Tonight: Start your weekend early.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH If you have a suggestion or a sixth sense about what you need to happen, follow it.

You are on top of your game.

Understanding what others want might encourage you to back off and do your own thing. Be more forthright with a child or family member. Tonight: Make it relaxing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Use your sensibilities, especially in a serious conversation.

You’ll do much better in a situation than you thought possible. Listen to someone who has a lot to say. Be willing to express yourself openly if you want a meeting of the minds.

Tonight: Yapping up a storm. © 2009 by King Features Syndicate

Ben Salmon / The Bulletin

There are lots of places in Shevlin Park to sit, take a break and take in the sights and sounds of Tumalo Creek’s calming waters.

Outing Continued from E1 When I rolled it backward out of its spot, I swear it recoiled like I was a stranger offering candy.

When I put on my helmet, it said, “Nice to meet you.” We’ve met before, but I was too embarrassed to remind it of that.

With both stuffed into the back of my car, I headed to Shevlin Park, where I planned a leisurely ride along the Tumalo Creek Loop, a 2.5ish-mile trail that leaves the park’s parking lot and runs, generally, along flat, wooded terrain between Tumalo Creek and the park’s paved road.

It’s an easy ride, no doubt about it. If you’re a serious cyclist who enjoys rock- and root-hopping through tight singletrack, you should probably try another trail. But if you’re a novice who just wants to work off some of the workday stress and soak in some sun without having to work too hard, this is the path for you.

It was the path for me. It was

also my first time on the Tumalo Creek Loop, which meant I often found myself on a spur trail that dead-ended, or ran into the creek or the road, or turned into something more technical than I wanted to try. But that was OK. At the creek, I’d stop and marvel that there’s a whole town just over the ridge on the other side of the water. At other dead-ends, I’d just back up and try another way.

It was a bit like being a mouse in a maze. Which is better than the rat race, right?

The trail meanders through ponderosa pines and into a larch grove, and the one time I started to wonder if I had traveled the wrong way for too long, a friendly sign popped up and pointed me back to the easy trail, just across a scenic covered bridge.

Even in the late afternoon on a Monday, the trail was relatively uncrowded; I passed some dogwalkers, a couple taking in the creek view from a bench, and two women traipsing and talking. One wore an Beavers shirt, the other a Ducks hat.

A warm spring afternoon on

this trail can cure even the most deep-seated ills, I thought to myself.

Before I knew it, I arrived at Fremont Meadow, near the south end of Shevlin Park. It took me right around 30 minutes, including several stops to take photos and find my way back to my trail.

Just beyond that point, Tumalo Creek Loop hooks up with Deschutes National Forest trails that lead to Tumalo Falls. Riders more adventurous than me could take that trip, or you could stop in the meadow, grab a brochure and hit the park’s interpretive trail, a one-mile loop with 21 stops on a self-guided tour of Shevlin Park’s natural history.

Or you could do what I did: Turn around and take the fun, easy way home, making big, sweeping turns down the paved road, like a skier doing the giant slalom, and letting the whipping, man-made wind take my troubles away.

The Bulletin

Culver resident Robert Miller was unable to move his neck or raise his arm after an injury last July. He was given an artificial disk replacement, one of the first in Central Oregon. The alternative, neck fusion surgery, would have limited his range of movement and caused damage to other disks. “I’ve got a 9-year-old and an 11-year-old that I want to spend time with,” Miller said.

FIGHTING IT OUT Injuries from a car accident have left Jennifer Gates, of Sisters, struggling to work through neck pain while reading to her 5-year-old daughter, Kathryn. Gates’ insurance company says artificial disk replacement is still experimental and won’t approve the procedure.

“There’s a possibility of not having more surgeries by doing the artificial disk,” she said.

ast July, Robert Miller thought he had just pulled a muscle. The 43-year-old railroad employee and weight-lifting enthusiast from Culver figured he’d take it easy at the gym for a while and everything would return to normal. But during the next six months, his biceps got weaker and weaker. Then on New Year’s Eve, he awoke to find he couldn’t move his neck or raise his arm.

An MRI confirmed he had an acute herniation of a disk in his neck. The jelly-like substance inside the disk, which provides cushioning between vertebra, had squirted out and was pressing against his spinal cord.

In most cases, doctors Inside would address Miller’s • What does condition by removing an artificial the disk and then fusdisk look ing the vertebra above like and and below the disk with how is the a series of metal screws and rods.

“I’ve got a 9-year-old and an 11-year-old that I want to spend time with,” Miller said. “They’re at that age where you do a lot of stuff outdoors.”

Because he was relatively young and had an otherwise healthy spine, Dr. Anthony Hadden, a neurosurgeon with Northwest Brain & Spine in Bend, opted for a different solution. Last month Miller became one of the first patients in Central Oregon to receive an artificial disk in his spine.

Artificial disks have been in use in Europe for 20 years, but in the U.S. the devices have had to plod their way through a slower regulatory system. Now that several artificial disks have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, however, doctors face an altogether different challenge.

Many U.S. insurance companies are unwilling to pay for artificial disk replacement until they see longer term data proving the devices are effective and safe.

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

The year 2010 is already shaping up to be a tough one for Central Oregon’s hospitals, with fewer patients coming through the doors in the first two months.

That decline has executives worried. In a message to staff this month, Jim Diegel, CEO of Cascade Healthcare MO Community — parent company of hospitals in Bend, Redmond and Prineville — called the decreasing number of patients a “disconcerting trend.”

“The lobbies are quieter, rooms are sitting empty and our staffing levels are down,” he wrote. “We’re doing fewer surgeries, imaging exams and we’re even delivering fewer babies.”

The overall number of patients is down 1.5 percent from 2009 at CHC. At Mountain View Hospital in Madras, volumes are down significantly across several

departments as well. Since October, inpatient admissions have declined 19 percent compared with the same time period a year earlier. Births have taken a big hit: The hospital delivered 32 percent fewer babies in January than it did in January 2009.

Fewer patients means fewer dollars coming into the hospital. Most hospitals, inN E Y cluding Mountain View and those that make up CHC, rely almost solely on patient revenue to fund operations. In 2008, more than $400 million of CHC’s total revenue of $427 million came from its patient services.

Central Oregon is not alone. Across the state, fewer patients are coming through hospital doors, said Andy Van Pelt, a spokesman for the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems. Overall, volumes are down 1 percent from 2009, he said.

High-energy cardio workout utilizes positive psychology

Instructor Lisa Van Ahn leaps in the air while teaching IntenSati in Minneapolis. Student Dawn Hudson is framed in the middle. hands above our heads, to the forehead, chest and up again.

That morphed into thrusting hands way up in the air, then down by our feet, up in the air, down by our feet. Cool Indian music blended with the simple rise and squat exercise as we chanted, “So as above. So is below.”

Wait a minute. I was breathing harder and cracked a sweat.

“I am becoming …” said Van Ahn while bolting us into a Vstep march with arms extended upward. “All I want to be!” we said while jogging and clawing for the sun.

“I feel my joy!” was belted to jumping jacks.

“I feel my power” (deep plie and rapid air punches).

“It feels so good” (pump arms toward ceiling, wall, floor and wall again).

The class had a really nice structure. The moves were simple at first and progressed with simple phrases that helped you remember which movement came next. The music’s tempo was just right, slow enough so the moves could be learned without struggle.

And the names of our movements proved really cool: “greatness,” “fearless” and “grace.”

They involved jester-like bows, forward lunges and elegant arabesques.

INTRODUCTION TO INTENSATI

MINNEAPOLIS — If anyone had asked me if there was such a thing as aerobics for yogis, I’d send them packing with a lecture about dippy oxymorons. But that was before last month, when I tried Lisa Van Ahn’s IntenSati class at the Calhoun Beach Club in Minneapolis.

The New York hit is spreading across the states; there are two instructors teaching it in Minnesota. So when my buddy Lynn Nelson invited me, I pounced.

Nelson’s been going since September and swore it was fun.

Then she warned me that there would be lots of yelling. Yelling?

Sure enough, Van Ahn belted out positive affirmations that we echoed throughout the class, which proved to be part aerobics, part yoga, part martial arts, balance work and crunchy-granola feel-good talk.

According to IntenSati creator Patricia Moreno, Sati is designed to be a high-energy cardio workout threaded with themes for mindfulness, positive psychology and the law of attraction.

Moreno invented this mind/ body/cardio blend after struggling to control her weight. Now she’s teaching other instructors nationwide. At full intensity, participants burn 600 to 800 calories per class. Want to know how?

Check out www.satilife.com.

In class, Van Ahn warmed us up while chanting, “This week, who are you becoming?” … “I take responsibility for my thoughts. I take responsibility for my actions,” and “Every day, in a very true way, I co-create my reality.”

My first reaction? This class is nuts! But then, I got it. Each movement had a name or phrase.

There really was a pose called “responsibility.” Who knew?

Van Ahn wasn’t nuts. She was using the rhythm of the words to cue a sequence of movements.

It proved brilliant and effective.

And because we moved at a decent, but not frantic, pace, the 60-year-old grandmother in the back of the room was able to keep up with the 20-year-old in front.

We started by moving prayer

ond part worked our lower bodies and tested our balance with one-legged poses that melted into lunges and kicks that worked our quads.

“I never heard of this type of class, but I like it,” said Stephanie Yue Hang, a new mother who had just moved to Minnesota from Beijing with her family in January. “This is a little bit more like yoga but you burn a lot of fat, which is really good.”

Maryann Evander has been taking Sati since September and she still isn’t sure how to describe it. Evander wasn’t looking for Sati and frankly never heard of it until she stumbled upon it last fall when it replaced her usual cardio class at Calhoun Beach Club.

“I was like, ‘Hey! Who moved my cheese?’” she said.

“It took me the longest time to get into (Sati) but I kept coming, and one day it was like someone switched on a light. I got it. The cardio sneaks up on you because it doesn’t seem that hard at first.

But then you sweat. I like the yoga and balance work, and I like the affirmations, but I was slow to warm to that. Calling out things in class is not really me.

So I lip-synched for a while, until it was working for me.”

IN MOTION Pollution in big cities may pose greater risk for female runners Training for a marathon in a big city? Don’t be surprised if you can’t match your best time.

According to a new study from the American College of Sports Medicine, poor air quality may hinder times for female marathon runners.

Researchers led by Virginia Tech civil and environmental engineer Lindsey Marr compared annual race times for the top three male and female finishers for seven marathons over 8 to 28 years, then cross-referenced those results with air pollution and temperature on race day.

After accounting for warmer temperatures, they found that higher levels of particles in the air were associated with slower times for women, but not for men.

Some of the nation’s most prestigious marathons are held in big cities, such as Boston and New York, but attract runners from across the country. Marr said the pollution levels were still acceptable under national standards for air quality and that people who weren’t running a marathon probably wouldn’t have been affected.

“Previous research has shown that during a race, marathon runners inhale and exhale about the same volume of air as a sedentary person would over the course of two full days,” she said. “Therefore, runners are exposed to much greater amounts of pollutants than under typical breathing conditions.”

N G OOD FOR YOU The best leafy choice for your salad? Depends on the vitamins Yes, you know that salad is good for you. All lettuce is low in fat and calories, making it a staple of any dieter’s daily regimen. But some types of lettuce have more vitamins than others. The general rule of thumb is that the darker the color, the more vitamins. Consider this: One cup of iceberg lettuce and one cup of spinach contain 10 calories or less. The spinach, however, has 56 percent of your daily recommended intake of vitamin A and 14 percent of vitamin C. The iceberg lettuce contains just 7 percent of the recommended intake of vitamin A and 3 percent of vitamin C. Another good choice?

Romaine lettuce, which also contains high amounts of both vitamins A and C. Watch out: Lettuce is good for

you. Drenching it with fattening salad dressings is not.

How to eat: Salads are the obvious way to eat lettuce. But if you can’t stomach those each night, try adding spinach to other dishes such as quiches, pasta or soups.

The mysterious calorie Few understand them, yet many are counting

By Julie Deardorff Chicago Tribune

Registered dietitian Jill Weisenberger once had a client who kept a puzzling food journal. The calorie counts were all out of whack. The woman’s tuna sandwich had 33 calories. An apple: 144.

Turns out the woman was mistaking a food-calorie book’s index for a calorie chart.

It’s not too far-fetched, seeing as few common health words are as baffling to us as “calorie.” Calories are invisible, yet we try to count them and cut them. Food supplies them, but they’re not nutrients.

“They’re abstract,” said Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University, who says calories are “a mess” to explain. “Ordinary mortals cannot count, see, taste, smell or feel a calorie.”

As a result, we’re bizarrely wedded to a concept we know very little about. Calories are the first thing people look for on the Nutrition Facts panel of food and beverages, according to a survey by the International Food Information Council and Foundation. But just 15 percent of Americans can accurately estimate the number of calories they should be consuming. And less than onethird of us correctly say that “calories in general are most likely to cause weight gain.”

“I frequently discourage calorie counting because it can be tedious and ruin the joy of eating,” said Weisenberger, a food and nutrition consultant based in Virginia.

“But I still want my patients to understand the concept so they can compare different food choices.”

And if they don’t understand? Focus instead on food choices and portions. “But weight loss won’t happen without calorie reduction,” she said.

Most of us simply want to know how many calories we need. But to truly grasp how calories can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight, it helps to know the basics.

Q&A

Q: A:

Are some calories more fattening than others?

Not any more than the dollar in your right pocket will buy you more than the dollar in your left pocket.

Some foods are more jampacked with calories than others. You can eat a cup of pasta for about 220 calories, or you can eat about 4 cups of broccoli or you can munch

on about one-quarter cup of nuts. They’re all about the same calories, but the 4 cups of broccoli will tame your hunger more.

For most people, a calorie is hard to define. Smaller food portions are often the best way to cut back on calorie intake while still staying healthy.

Kraft’s Nabisco unit led the way in small food portions with its 100-calorie snack packets.

Q: A:

How many calories do I need?

The best way is to look at your weight.

If you’re gaining weight (and don’t want to), you’re eating too many calories.

You can also get an estimate at mypyramid.gov.

Q: A:

How can I cut calories without starving or hating what I eat?

If you like vegetables, there’s no reason to be hungry. They’re relatively low in calories and pretty filling because of their fiber and water content. Eat a couple of cups of them at dinner. It’s a lot easier to decrease your potatoes and steak when you’ve got broccoli or zucchini or both to fill you up.

Also try cooking at home. If take-out is your norm, commit to cooking just once or twice each week. And allow indulgences.

There’s no reason to give up your favorite foods. Eat smaller portions or eat them less often.

By the numbers 2,000 to 3,000 — The range of calories per day that maintains body weight in most people. Bigger or more active people need more. Smaller, more sedentary people need fewer.

3,500 — Number of calories in 1 pound of body fat.

A calorie is ...

A unit of energy. First described in the 1800s, a calorie is technically the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. But in the health and nutrition world, a calorie is the potential energy in food and the amount of energy the body uses, according to the American Dietetic Association’s Complete Food and Nutrition Guide.

“We need this reference value in the same way we’d need to know how many pieces of wood to build a certain size house,” said San Diego registered dietitian Janice Baker, a certified diabetes educator. “Everyone’s body needs different amounts of energy based on height, weight, activity level, age and other factors. A calorie is not good or bad.

It just is.”

Naum Kazhdan New York Times News Service

food, the nutrients are released, absorbed into the bloodstream and converted to glucose, or blood sugar. This powers the body, allowing us to shiver, blink, remember, breathe or run marathons. The food energy we don’t need right away is stored as body fat, regardless of the nutrient it comes from. That means excess carbs are no more fattening than additional calories from any source, including fats and proteins.

Calories can help us lose weight if ...

We burn more calories than we take in. “It doesn’t matter when you eat them; your body uses the calories from ice cream in the same way, whether you eat at 10 p.m. or 10 a.m. But if you deliberately eat lightly during the day to have a good dinner, then hunger often gets out of control and you overeat,” said Susan Roberts, director of the Energy Metabolism Laboratory at Tufts University’s Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging.

“Pacing calories is an important

where fitness gets personal

component of successful dieting.”

Registered dietitian Weisenberger tells her clients that calories are money. “You have a certain amount in your budget, and if you spend too much, you go into debt. If you take more than your calorie allowance, you get fat.”

If you want extra money for something special, you might try to earn more or save. “Think of calories the same way: If you want some extra for a special dessert or other treat, earn them by doing extra exercise, or save them from another time,” said Weisenberger. “A 500-calorie slice of cheesecake will take an hour or more of really hard exercise. Or you could skip that second piece of buttered toast at breakfast, cut your juice in half and trade in your large sandwich for a smaller one. Or you could combine dietary and exercise changes.”

SKIN CARE

SPINE / CHIROPRACTIC Q UESTION: I experienced a whiplash injury in an automobile accident about 8 months ago and continue to experience some pain and problems from the injury.

My auto insurer sent me to their medical examiner who apparently thinks if I had been injured, I should have been better in 6 weeks, and now my auto insurance is refusing to pay for treatments. How can that be?

QUESTION: I have been using several different types of sunscreen. I would like to know what the best product is to protect my skin.

ANSWER: The most important thing to consider when purchasing a sunscreen is to choose a product that is broad-spectrum. This means it covers both UVB and UVA rays. UVB rays from the sun causes the skin to burn. UVA rays penetrate very deep into the skin and causes Carrie Baxter, aging. Both UVB and UVA exposure increases the MSPAS, PA-C risk of developing melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. Many sunscreens will claim to cover both UVB and UVA rays. This can be very misleading. The label on the sunscreen bottle can claim to be broad-spectrum even if the product covers a very small percent of UVA. Most sunscreens do a great job of protecting the skin from UVB rays. In order to insure that the product you are using provides good coverage of UVA rays, you must read the ingredients. It should contain one of the five following ingredients; zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, avobenzone, helioplex or mexoryl. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are considered the most broad-spectrum.

Many sunscreens will contain several ingredients. Choose a product that is SPF 30 or above and remember to re-apply every two hours if you are outdoors.

ANSWER:

Multiple studies over the last few years have shown that most chronic pain from auto injuries is a result of injury to the ligaments of the spine. These injuries most often occur to the facet capsular ligaments, but studies have also shown injury to the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligament and the alar ligament.

It’s a common misconception that whiplash injuries are self-limiting. Even though clinical experience and the medical literature make it clear that a significant group of whiplash patients have chronic pain, the conventional wisdom is that the patient should be completely recovered in a few months. This idea is based on the myth that ligament injuries heal in about six weeks.

A recent review in the American Journal of Medicine provides a better understanding. In this article, researchers looked at 24 high-quality studies that examined the natural course of recovery from ankle sprain. They found the following: There was a rapid decrease in pain levels in the patients during the first two weeks. There was a wide range of pain levels at one year.

Some patients reported problems three years after the injury. In one study, up to 15% of patients complained of problems at three years.

This study is important, because it demonstrates that ligament injuries can result in chronic issues for the patient. If 15% of patients with ankle sprains report symptoms three years later, it shouldn’t be surprising that some patients with whiplash injury could also have long-term symptoms after their injury.

If you have further questions, please contact our office.

FA M I LY M E D I C I N E Q UESTION : Several people in my family have been

diagnosed with gastric ulcers. I have occasional abdominal pain over my stomach. How do I go about finding out if I have an ulcer?

ANSWER: Gastric ulcer or Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is a common problem and can be diagnosed with several different tests. The most accurate study is an esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD. This is perfomed Kevin Reuter, under light anesthesia and a camera is passed into the M.D. stomach and first part of the small intestine to visualize the lining of the alimentary tract. Biopsies can be taken and bleeding controlled if an ulcer is visualized. The bacteria Helicobacter pylori can cause ulcers and treatment with a cocktail of medications including antibiotics can then be commenced if the bacteria is detected. Other ways to check for the bacteria are with a blood test, stool test, or a urea breath test. Risk factors for developing ulcers include smoking, alcohol abuse, illicit drug use, and use of NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or aleve. Complications such as stomach perforation or gastric outlet obstruction can occur if ulcers are left untreated.

In general, if you have had an ulcer, you should be on medication to help suppress gastric acid and your doctor can help you decide which medication to choose.

QUESTION: “I have been diagnosed with a chronic myofascial pain in my hips and thighs. How is this treated and can it be cured?”

ANSWER: Simply stated, myofascial pain is a form of chronic pain in the muscles and tissues known as the fascia. Unlike a typical muscle strain or injury, myofascial pain lingers long after physiological “healing” of the tissues has taken place. There can as many approaches to curing or managing this type of pain, as there are practitioners.

Many myofascial pain syndromes are exacerbated by a nervous system Allison Suran, that becomes “hypersensitive”. This begins a downward spiral of inacP.T., GCFP tivity which leads to increased pain, which leads to less activity, which leads to increased hypersensitivity, and so on.

What nerves need to decrease their hypersensitive state is movement. But for folks who have chronic painful conditions, finding the right amount and level of movement or exercise can be challenging.

A physical therapist can guide and support you in finding the right level and intensity of movement and exercise that gradually desensitizes the nerves in your muscles. By evaluating postural alignment and imbalances that may be contributing factors to pain, a physical therapist can provide in-depth education and retraining of movement patterns to support necessary changes and promote healing.

Simultaneously, a physical therapist can use a variety of techniques to treat and manage the painful symptoms in the muscles and tissues while an individualize exercise program is being developed and progressed.

See the entire article at http://healingbridge.com/newsletters-articles.htm. Allison Suran has been specializing in the treatment of chronic pain conditions for over 20 years. For more information and recent articles she has written about chronic pain, go to her website at www.healingbridge.com

PLASTIC SURGERY QUESTION: I’m a healthy woman in my mid 40’s who has had three children by natural means and has breast feed all of them. I exercise regularly but am unhappy with my loose skin over the stomach area and my breast as well. What can I do to revitalize these areas?

Adam Angeles, M.D.

A NSWER : This is a common complaint among patients that have had children.

Although liposuction is a good technique for removing localized areas of fat over the torso, hips and thighs, it does not tighten the skin overlying those areas of fat removal.

Conversely, a tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) not only removes the fat from the abdomen and flanks, but tightens the skin and underlying muscles for a more cosmetically appealing figure. The skin around your breast may also be lax and is best treated by a breast lift with or without augmentation to give you a more youthful appearing breast.

These procedures can usually be performed in an outpatient surgical setting such as the Bend Plastic Surgery, Outpatient Surgical Center. Contact us for more information.

NAT U R AL WEIG HT LOSS QUESTION: I am trying to lose weight, hardly eating anything, and exercising like crazy. Why can’t I lose weight?

A NSWER : Weight management can be a tricky business, with problems due to many reasons. First would be to ensure that there is not any chronic disease or medical reasons such as thyroid, adrenal or sex hormone balance; or insulin resistance. Next Kerie Raymond, would be a liver detox or cleanse. We tend to store N.D. our toxins in fat tissue and it is difficult to lose the fat until we lose the toxins. Then there are a few myths we need to bust.

Metabolism is set and can be reset by a variety of mechanisms. If we “fast” by not eating, our metabolism slows deliberately to compensate for the lack of fuel. To lose weight we need to eat, especially a breakfast high in protein, low in sugars. Coffee is our enemy here also by stimulating insulin and cortisol. “The Weight Loss Cure” book re-popularized Dr Simeon’s HCG protocol which we utilize here in our clinic along with other medically supervised weight management programs. We can provide all hormone testing, programs and tools to get you started looking and feeling better.

QUESTION: I was in a car accident in 1990 and back then they wanted to surgically break my jaw and do braces to fix it. I am now having lots of problems and was wondering if there are any solutions other than surgery?

ANSWER: I am sorry that you are having problems right now. Chronic pain can have a seriously negative impact on the quality of daily life. I Kelley Mingus, have treated several people who have been in car D.M.D. accidents, both recent car accidents and distant accidents. The good news for you is that we have had some amazing advancements in both technology and treatment options since 1990.

It is difficult for me to give a definitive answer, but I can tell you that it is very rare that the kind of surgery your talking would be required to improve your situation. Major jaw surgery should only be considered as a last resort. I have been able to dramatically improve the condition of every chronic pain patient I have treated and have never had to resort to surgery. Your bite is made up of a system that includes your jaw bones, your TMJ joint, your teeth, and the muscles.

If any part of the systems loses its harmony then the whole system is compromised and results in chronic pain. The key to treatment is to put that system back into harmony in the most conservative way possible. So to answer your question, yes there are many treatment solutions that do not require surgery. I hope this helps. You can visit my web site to learn more about TMJ treatment solutions at www.bendcosmeticdentist.com.

WELLNESS QUESTION: Is there a difference between Home Health and Home Care?

ANSWER: There are key differences between these two in-home services. Home Health is prescribed by a physician and includes the skills of a registered nurse and physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Medicare pays for Home Health skilled nursing care and/or therapy. To Winona Phelps, qualify, a physician must prescribe the services, R.N. which have to be provided by a Medicarecertified home health agency.

Home Care does not require a physician’s order. It is available for assistance with daily activities, such as laundry, cooking, bathing, transportation to appointments, and light housekeeping. Many agencies provide these services, and it is important to know that you can choose your home health agency.

Home care can be a good solution for short-term needs. For longterm needs of a more complex nature, you may want to consider moving into a retirement community that offers a continuum of professional care.

If you think you could benefit from care in the home, Touchmark Home Services offers an assessment at no charge.

QUESTION: My mother was told that she has macular degeneration and that glasses were of limited help. Is there anything available to help her see clearer?

ANSWER: Macular degeneration is a disease of the retina causing gradual loss of central acuity. Those who have been diagnosed with macular degeneration need a complete, dilated eye exam to determine the level of severity and type of macular degeneration present. Progression of some forms of macular Winter Lewis, degeneration may be slowed with therapeutic O.D., F.A.A.O. intervention by a retinal specialist.

Those who have experienced significant central acuity loss may benefit from magnification devices or specialty glasses. It is important to realize that magnification devices do not restore original vision but work to enhance the visual acuity that remains intact. The use of magnifiers will allow for images to be enlarged and projected onto the retina such that peripheral viewing system can “understand” the image better. This takes time and practice to become comfortable with. Support and training is most effective with an Occupational Therapist and Low Vision specialist. Locally, St. Charles Outpatient Rehabilitation program has trained Occupational Therapists who can assist those with central acuity loss. Low Vision Specialists are available locally as well. Ask your eye care provider for more information.

C O L O N & R E C TA L C A R E QUESTION: Who is at risk for colon cancer?

ANSWER: More than 90 percent of patients are over 40, at which point the risk of contracting the disease doubles every ten years.

QUESTION: How does it start?

ANSWER: It is generally agreed that nearly all colon and rectal cancer begins in benign polyps. These premalignant growths occur on the bowel wall and may eventually increase in size and become cancer.

Mark Maddox, M.D., FACS QUESTION: What are the symptoms?

ANSWER: Rectal bleeding and changes in bowel habits (such as constipation or diarrhea) are the 2 most common symptoms. Abdominal pain and weight loss are usually late symptoms indicating possible extensive disease.

QUESTION: Can colon cancer be prevented?

ANSWER: Colon cancer is preventable. The most important step toward preventing colon cancer is to get a screening test. Any abnormal screening test should be followed by a colonoscopy which provides a detailed examination of the bowel. Polyps can be identified and can often be removed during colonoscopy. And though not definitely proven, there is some evidence that diet may play a significant role in preventing colorectal cancer. As far as we know, a high fiber, low fat diet is the only dietary measure that might help prevent colorectal cancer.

Permanent makeup helps give back what time has taken away and saves you precious time you normally spend “putting on your face”. You can save Susan Gruber, countless hours in a single year that were formerly spent struggling to draw eyebrows Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professional evenly or eyeliner half-way straight.

Plus, imagine the money you’ll save not buying expensive cosmetics that rub off, smear, smudge and disappear during the day. Permanent makeup is not necessarily intended to replace cosmetics completely. Because the color is placed “in” your skin and not “on” your skin, a more natural, softer look results.

M Artificial disk Continued from F1

Compared with fusion Hadden said artificial disks can offer significant advantages over fusion surgery in the right patients. They allow for the spine to move more naturally and have fewer complications, he said. Fusion surgeries, on the other hand, have a notoriously high rate of follow-up surgeries. Part of the problem is that a fused joint cannot flex and winds up putting more stress on the disks above and below it.

Normally, a disk will degenerate at a rate of 0.3 to 0.5 percent per year. But Hadden said after fusion, adjacent disks degenerate at 2.5 percent per year, or five times as fast. It means many fusion patients wind up needing another surgery to repair the adjacent disks three or four years down the road. And each fusion reduces the individual’s ability to bend at that joint.

“You’re stealing motion from them,” Hadden said.

Hadden said in some cases he can increase the mobility in fusions by using flexible rods that will bend with the spine.

But many believe that artificial disks will eventually replace fusion surgeries altogether. Years ago, surgeons fused knee or hip joints as well. But with the advent of good artificial joints, knee and hip fusion has now become unthinkable.

Analysts at Life Science Intelligence, which tracks the medical-device industry, estimate the U.S. market for artificial disk replacement will grow from $55 million in 2007 to $440 million in 2012. The number of patients with spine problems is expected to skyrocket in the coming decades, as the population ages and experiences the consequences of carrying too much weight for too long.

But for now, artificial disks are not for everyone with back pain.

Good candidates, Hadden said, are generally younger patients — between the ages of 20 and 50 — whose bones are strong enough to handle the implant.

Patients must also have at least 50 percent of their disk height still intact. That allows enough room for proper placement of the device. In patients who have more degeneration of the disk, the body has likely already tried to fix the problem, he said, creating arthritis to slow down the movement in that joint.

“If you put the artificial disk in and you regain motion, you’re going to have pain in those joints,” Hadden said. “And then you’ve done them a disservice.”

Spine specialists generally recommend starting with rest and physical therapy, which will alleviate the problem or lessen the pain for some patients. If that fails, they may turn to steroid injections that can relieve the pain and allow the body to repair itself.

If the patient still gets no relief, then surgery becomes an option.

Insurance battles Hadden said he must often call medical directors of insurance companies to convince them to approve a fusion or artificial disk surgery.

Mick AnDyck, a 43-year-old Home Depot employee from Bend, had dealt with the pain of a bulging disk for more than six years. He went through multiple sets of physical therapy appointments, none of which helped.

It took three months for him and Hadden to get approval for an artificial disk. At one point, Hadden told him he could probably get approval for a fusion the next day, but that the artificial disk might be worth the wait.

“There are seven or eight people I know who have had back fusions and have had multiple fusions. That scared me,” AnDyck said. “I went online to read the stories, and I didn’t read one good story.”

Both Miller and AnDyck had successful surgeries and both were up and walking the same day. Hadden said that’s standard procedure after artificial disk surgery because it helps to compress the spine to fully seat the disk in the bones. Both have returned to work within a month of their surgery. Hadden said fusion patients can get back to limited work within 6 to 9 weeks, but often can’t resume full work for three months post-surgery.

when new technology was freely adopted before it was adequately vetted. That’s been a problem with several orthopedic devices, including artificial hips that later had to be replaced.

“We’ve seen too many treatments launched because they seemed like they were a good idea, and early indicators were favorable,” Prowf said. “This artificial disk may be one of those, or it may turn out to be much better than existing treatments.”

With new studies on artificial disks emerging regularly and great interest in the devices from physicians and patients, Regence has reviewed its policy at least annually since 2003. And it allows several layers of appeals for patients who believe there are good reasons why they should get investigational devices.

“We hope there will be new studies that will shed light on things, one way or another,” Prowf said. “Spine disease, it maims many people, leading to disability and lost work time.

Treatments are really complicated and difficult. I wish we had a silver bullet for this problem.”

High cholesterol levels need to be fixed, even when you’re president President Barack Obama had a physical last month, and according to his physician, he has somewhat high cholesterol.

Obama’s total cholesterol rose from 173 mg/dL in July 2008 to 209 mg/dL. Most of that rise came from an increase in LDL, or bad cholesterol, from 96 mg/dL to 138 mg/dL. The president’s good cholesterol fell slightly from 68 mg/dL to 62 mg/dL. His doctor recommended lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, to get the cholesterol back down.

According to the American Heart Association, individuals should strive to keep total cholesterol levels under 200 mg/dL.

Total cholesterol over 240 mg/dL is considered high risk. But more importantly, LDL levels should be lower than 130.

High cholesterol levels are associated with a higher risk of heart problems, although plenty of people with high cholesterol will never develop heart disease, and many people with low cholesterol levels will die of heart attacks. Doctors will also use other factors, including family history, lifestyle and more tests, to determine how aggressively to treat high cholesterol.

Patients with multiple risk factors might be put on cholesterollowering medications, called statins.

“They’ve indicated they still consider that to be experimental, but there are BlueCross BlueShield insurance carriers in other states that approve it,” West said. “So at this point, we are considering filing a lawsuit.”

SEEING TRIPLE AT THE 3-D MOVIE?

Films can cause dizziness, nausea

By Evan S. Benn St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Thousands of people are packing movie theaters across the country to see the new “Alice in Wonderland” in 3-D, and dozens of them will likely leave with headaches.

That’s not a criticism of the film, but a fact: Doctors say those with less-than-perfect eyesight can suffer nausea, blurred vision and dizziness from 3-D movies.

“The 3-D technology taps into our depth perception,” said Dr. Lawrence Tychsen, ophthalmologist in chief at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. “To fully appreciate depth in a 3-D movie, you need equally clear vision in both eyes. Even a small misalignment could contribute to those symptoms of discomfort.”

Tychsen said relatively minor conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness or a lazy eye — if not treated with glasses or contacts — could trigger headaches and other side effects from 3-D visuals. He estimated that up to 20 percent of the population — kids and adults — could be affected.

“Many people are unaware that anything’s wrong until they experience a 3-D movie and have these symptoms,” Tychsen said.

The problem comes from socalled vision fatigue, caused when 3-D technology forces

the eyes to make constant adjustments to focus on images that are simultaneously near and far away.

Humans see in three dimensions, but the exaggerated imagery of 3-D movies can cause a strain in some, according to Jeffrey Anshel, a California optometrist who has researched vision fatigue in computer users.

Reports of vision fatigue popped up in recent months after the release of the 3-D blockbuster “Avatar,” which has shattered box office records. The popularity of these movies and the money they pull in keep them in favor with theater owners and studio executives.

Whether your eyesight is 20/20 or less than perfect, watching a 3-D movie isn’t going to cause any vision damage, according to experts like Anshel and Tychsen.

“Getting a headache at a movie isn’t harmful, but it is symptomatic of subnormal vision,” Tychsen said. “If it happens, that might be a good sign it’s time to visit an eye doctor.”

M Hospitals Continued from F1 “The trend we’ve been seeing in utilization has been going down as the economy is going down,” Van Pelt continued.

In addition, CHC executives said they are being stretched because those patients who are coming in are less able to pay.

The number of patients without insurance jumped from 6.7 percent in 2009 to 7.9 percent in the first part of 2010.

For hospital charges billed to patients without insurance, the hospital collects, on average, 10 cents on every dollar, said CHC Chief Financial Offier Karen Shepard.

The decline in people with insurance is a significant problem because of the way hospitals are paid. Not everyone pays the same for the same procedure.

For patients with governmentsponsored insurance, such as Medicaid or Medicare, the hospital is paid less than for people with commercial insurance. The hospital relies on commercial insurance patients to make up the difference between their costs and the low reimbursement from other types of insurance.

“Commercial is really where the profit margins are,” said Shepard.

The decline in commercial insurance patients combined with the decline in patients overall is a “double whammy,” said Diegel.

“We have a volume problem and a net revenue per unit of service component (problem). It’s a deeper amplification on the financial impact.”

Financial impact So far, the decline in volumes has hit the bottom line hard at CHC. In a letter to staff, Diegel said revenues were “already behind budget by several million dollars” in 2010.

In an interview, he said the hospital is operating in the red.

Last year, the hospital operated in the black, according to Shepard.

The hospital has responded to the budget crunch by eliminating a small number of positions and, to a much greater extent, reducing the hours worked by nursing staff.

Since the beginning of the year, the hospital has laid off five people. The majority of those positions were lost when the Heart Institute of the Cascades, a nonprofit foundation affiliated with CHC and Heart Center Cardiology, was absorbed into CHC earlier this year; radiology and pharmacy also lost one position each.

Many more nurses have been sent home for periods of time. The practice, known as “call-offs”, is common in hospitals; as the number of patients ebbs and flows, staffing is adjusted accordingly.

When nurses are sent home, they

Doctors, patients clash on priorities

By Roni Caryn Rabin New York Times News Service

High blood pressure is often a top priority for doctors. But pain and depression may be more pressing to their patients.

A new study that surveyed health care providers and their patients with both diabetes and high blood pressure found that most of the time they agreed on at least one or two of the three most important health problems affecting the patient.

But in almost one-third of the cases, the provider’s top three concerns did not include the top priority of the patient, the survey found, especially if that item was pain or depression, said Dr. Donna Zulman, a Veterans Affairs researcher who was lead author of the study.

The paper was published online Feb. 2 in The Journal of General Internal Medicine.

The findings may reflect a lack of awareness about how important it is for diabetics to control their blood pressure, Zulman said, adding that the message to patients is that they must communicate clearly.

Volume of patients at Cascade Healthcare Community The number of patients at CHC, parent company of hospitals in Bend, Redmond and Prineville, has gone down dramatically in the first two months of 2010. Many areas of the hospitals have seen drops.

can go without pay or use vacation time.

But call-offs are being used much more often this winter than in the past, said Alison Hamway, the labor relations representative for the Oregon Nurses Association, which represents nurses within CHC. “Some people are losing one-third of their paycheck.”

According to notes from a nurses association meeting last week, nurses were called off for more than half a day so many times in January that it totaled 5,300 hours, compared with an average of 2,000 hours each

month before the recent decline in patient volumes.

In the intensive care unit, nurses were called off so often they filed a formal grievance with the hospital. The grievance was resolved by moving three recently hired nurses to other positions, according to notes from the nurses association meeting.

“The hospital was very cooperative and very much worked to resolve the issue,” said Hamway.

Non-union staff members, who took a 5 percent pay cut in January 2009 that was reversed in November, will be given a 2 percent raise in 2010 if they are “consis-

tently meeting expectations,” according to a letter to staff from Katy Vitcovich, CHC’s senior vice president for human resources.

Diegel said executive salaries are still being evaluated. An earlier article in The Bulletin reported that the organization’s board of directors was considering giving Diegel a raise.

“There are no decisions on that yet,” Diegel said.

Morale problems With many staff members taking a hit in pay, staff morale is low, executives acknowledged. “If I were to tell you that morale was not affected, I’d be blowing smoke,” said Diegel.

“There is a lot of anxiety.”

Shepard said the state of the economy, particularly the high unemployment rates, puts stress on the person who is working to make up for income losses. “There’s no cushion any longer.”

Hamway said nurses were frustrated by the call-offs and the cuts in pay. “Those dollar amounts have a huge impact on people’s pay and morale.”

Diegel said the problems at the organization were a sign of the larger, troubled times.

“These are such disruptive times that it’s really hard to manage in a consistent way,” he said. “You just try to do the very best you can going forward.”

GARDNER, as Successor Trustee as recorded in the property records of the county in which the Property described above is situated.

Further, the undersigned certifies that no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the Trust Deed. Or, if such action has been instituted, it has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.735(4). The name and address of Successor Trustee are as follows: Jeffrey C. Gardner, Successor Trustee, c/o Ball Janik LLP, 101 SW Main Street, Suite 1100, Portland, Oregon 97204-3219. The Trust Deed is not a "Residential Trust Deed", as defined in ORS 86.705(3), thus the requirements of Chapter 19, Section 20, Oregon Laws 2008, and Chapter 864 [S.B. 628], Oregon Laws 2009, do not apply. DEFAULT BY GRANTOR AND ELECTION TO SELL: There are continuing and uncured defaults by the Grantor that, based on the provisions of the Trust Deed, authorize the foreclosure of the Trust Deed and the sale of the Property described above, which uncured and continuing defaults include but are not necessarily limited to the following: 1. Grantor's failure to pay to Beneficiary, the full aggregate amount of monthly payments on account of accruing interest due for the period commencing May 2009 and continuing through and including December 2009, a net amount that as of December 22, 2009 totals $105,808.54, and which past-due amount continues to increase from and after December 22, 2009 at the rate of $683.58 per diem, together with Beneficiary's unpaid fees, costs, and expenses (including Beneficiary's unpaid attorneys' fees and costs as allowed under the Trust Deed) as of December 22, 2009 of $12,372.99, resulting in an aggregate arrearage amount as of December 22, 2009 that totals $118,181.53.

The full arrearage amount, $118,181.53 is immediately due and payable to Beneficiary together with additional accruing interest from and after December 23, 2009, plus Beneficiary's additional costs and expenses (together with Beneficiary's additional attorneys' fees and costs and expenses arising on account of this foreclosure process). 2.

Grantor's failure to cure defaults (cross-defaults) under certain loans made by Beneficiary to Angus Acres Limited Partnership. Due to the cross-default provisions of the loan documents including, but not limited to, the Trust Deed, Grantor's uncured defaults related to the Angus Acres Limited Partnership loans constitute an event of default under the Trust Deed. 3. On account of Grantor's continuing and uncured defaults, on November 2, 2009, Beneficiary accelerated all amounts due under the loan secured by the Trust Deed and made demand on Grantor for immediate and unconditional payment to Beneficiary of all amounts due under the loan. Despite Beneficiary's demand, Grantor has failed to pay to Beneficiary the full amount of the indebtedness due under the loan secured by the Trust Deed.

Accordingly, the sum owed by Grantor to Beneficiary on the obligation secured by the Trust Deed is $3,105,161.98, as of December 22, 2009, together with interest accruing on the principal portion of that amount, plus additional costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary and/or the Successor Trustee (including their respective attorney's fees, costs, and expenses). Notice is hereby given that the Beneficiary, by reason of the uncured and continuing defaults described above, has elected and does hereby elect to foreclose said Trust Deed by advertisement and sale pursuant to ORS 86.735 et seq., and to cause to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, the Grantor's interest in the subject Property, which the Grantor had, or had the power to convey, at the time the Grantor executed the Trust Deed in favor of the Beneficiary, along with any interest the Grantor or the Grantor's successors in interest acquired after the execution of the Trust Deed, to satisfy the obligations secured by the Trust Deed as well as the expenses of the sale, including compensation of the Trustee as provided by law, and the reasonable fees of Trustee's attorneys.
