Deschutes County sees sharp rise in property tax appeals Declines in real estate market weren’t factored in, landowners say

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Developers, real estate investors, homeowners, banks and resorts in Deschutes County are asking to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars less in taxes this year.

Property owners who disagree with the county assessor’s valuation of their property can appeal to the county to lower it, which can save them money on their tax bills.

The loss in tax money was less than 1 percent each year, because the county’s total tax rolls were $214.4 million to $254 million during that period.

This year, property owners filed about 2,360 property tax appeals, up from 1,010 last year.

Historic health care overhaul approved

Looking to paint green?

Look for zero VOC

Oregon Democrats join House colleagues to pass bill, 219-212

Volatile organic compounds make some paints smelly — and could make you ill VOCs Volatile organic compounds, called VOCs, are a group of chemicals that can give paints their odor.

Some VOCs can cause eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches and other health hazards, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

VOCs also can combine with other pollutants and sunlight to form smog.

WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives on Sunday passed by a 219 to 212 vote the biggest overhaul of the nation’s health care system in more than four decades, sweeping changes expected to make coverage easier and cheaper to obtain.

The largely party-line vote — 219 Democrats voted “yea” while all 178 Republicans and 34 Democrats voted no — meant President Barack Obama’s biggest domestic initiative neared the end of its yearlong political and legislative odyssey. “We proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things,” Obama said late Sunday from the White House.

The House first approved the legislation the Senate approved on Dec. 24. The chamber then approved changes to the bill, called reconciliation, on a vote of 220 to 211, again with no Republican votes.

The Senate will consider the revisions this week.

Cost, color and durability — that’s what many shoppers browsing the paint aisle of The Home Depot were looking for on a recent afternoon.

But shoppers looking for paints and stains have another consideration as well.

“I’d rather have things be environmentally friendly if I can,” said Sheryl Wood, of Bend, who painted bedrooms, bathrooms and other spaces in her house about a year ago.

And she was happy to find a relatively cheap, good-quality paint free of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. “You didn’t have to open the windows and air everything out,” Wood said.

Low-VOC and zeroVOC paints, which reduce the harsh, smelly chemicals associated with traditional paint, have taken off in the last five or six years, said Bruce Sullivan with Earth Advantage in Bend. Now, practically every major paint manufacturer has a low-VOC line, he said, and other more environmentally friendly products are coming on the market.

“The emphasis so far has really been on reducing the volatile organic compounds in paint, and we’ve made quite a lot of progress there,” Sullivan said.

The movement away from VOCs started in California, he said, after the paint industry was identified as a source of the chemicals that react with other pollutants and sunlight to cause smog.

Many paint manufacturers offer low-VOC paints, which contain less than 50 grams per liter of VOC, or zero-VOC products, which have less than 5 g/L. Other low-VOC products for staining are available as well.

WASHINGTON — Democrats in Congress raised their arms in celebration on Sunday night, after a sweeping health care bill passed the U.S. House with only a handful of votes to spare.

Oregon Democrats, local seniors and the region’s largest hospital company hailed the passage of a $940 billion health care bill that would expand coverage to 32 million people. But Oregon’s lone Republican congressman and a handful of local doctors said they’re skeptical that the bill will deliver everything it’s promising.

PORTLAND, Maine — Census workers are using snowmobiles, airplanes, all-terrain vehicles — even lobster boats — to visit the most far-flung, hidden-away dwellings when counting the nation’s populace.

Hand-delivering 2010 census questionnaires in the bush of Alaska, Maine’s North Woods and other isolated regions isn’t as simple as strolling up a front walk to a suburban home.

To get to the more remote homes, census workers might fly over mountains or onto far-removed islands, four-wheel it through forests and contend with deep snow, bone-chilling temperatures and wildlife on the move.

No cell phone, no Facebook?

It’s a tough test for students

City officials get a little wacky in efforts to lure Google

More instructors around the country are challenging ‘wired’ students to go without modern media and gadgets for a time

Offer to build a free broadband network inspires stunts from swimming with sharks to renaming town

By Jenna Ross Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

MINNEAPOLIS — Heather LaMarre calls her students “the wired generation.” The University of Minnesota professor sees that they don’t listen to an iPod, talk on a cell phone or surf on a laptop — they do all three at once. She reads articles about their numbness to technology and knows that if one e-mails her at 10:30 p.m. on a Saturday and she doesn’t write back by 11:30, he’ll freak out.

So she did something about it.

A recent class assignment: Five days without media or gadgets that didn’t exist before 1984.

Sophomore Lucy Knopff lasted half an hour before she accidentally flicked on her iPod. “You don’t even think about it,” she moaned. “It’s just a habit for me.”

By Miguel Helft New York Times News Service

The mayor of Duluth, Minn., threw himself into the iceringed waters of Lake Superior. The mayor of Sarasota, Fla., immersed himself in a tank filled with bonnethead sharks, simply to one-up him.

The mayor of Wilmington, N.C., said that he would even jump out of an airplane — with a parachute, of course.

They are vying not so much for voters’ attention as Google’s attention. Google has said it plans to build — at no charge — an ultra-high-speed broadband network for 50,000 to 500,000 customers in one or more American cities.

And that offer has become catnip for city leaders, civic boosters and economic development types. America lags most other industrialized countries in high-speed Internet access. Even though the Obama administration last week unveiled a plan that would move the country forward, it will probably be snared in congressional infighting for some time.

Meantime, Google’s offer of a network with speeds of 1 gigabit per second, or 100 times faster than many of today’s high-speed connections, could be a great selling point for a recession-plagued town. With hundreds of cities expected to apply before the deadline on Friday, city officials are using stunts in the hope their bids will stand out. And for those who put together a winning proposal, success may well be a swift path to re-election.

So maybe it is not so surprising that Bill Bunten, the mayor of Topeka, Kan., issued a proclamation renaming his city Google for the month of March. Duluth videotaped a mock news conference in which it said that every male born in the town would be named Google Fiber. And a dairy in Madison, Wis., aided that city’s efforts by creating a “Google Fiber” ice cream flavor — vanilla ice cream with granola and M&Ms to match Google’s multicolored logo.

Some students whose teachers assign them to go on a “media fast” find the experience freeing. To others, it can seem like an impossible task. They “don’t know a world without Google, YouTube or text messaging,” said David Parry, a professor at the University of Texas at Dallas.

A growing trend LaMarre didn’t realize she’s part of a trend: A growing group of instructors around the country are prescribing their highly wired students a kind of shock treatment. Go without media for 48 hours. Turn off your phone for a day. Block Facebook for a week.

“Honestly, most of my students are oblivious to the huge role mass communication and the Internet play in their lives,” said Amy Kristin Sanders, a media law professor at the University of Minnesota who has forced students into 24-hour media fasts.

“They really think about access to the Internet as one of life’s necessities.”

Students are finding the fasts anywhere from impossible to freeing — and sometimes, over time, both.

David Parry, a professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, is in his 30s and began teaching digital literacy less than a decade ago. But even he has seen a dramatic change.

“These 18-year-olds don’t know a world without Google, YouTube or text messaging,” he said. “I’ve found that my job is to make it unfamiliar to them.”

This semester — to a chorus of gasps and groans — he assigned the students in his introduction to electronic and digital communications class to quit Facebook for a week.

Olivia Myles quickly found that to stay off Facebook, she’d have to abandon Twitter and LinkedIn as well. They were too intertwined. To stay in touch with her family and friends — most of whom live in California,

“Even though I talked to my cousin every day, I hadn’t heard her voice forever. It was weird. We were like, ‘We should do this more often.’”

— Olivia Myles, 26, who called her cousin after being assigned to quit Facebook for a week where she’s from — she couldn’t poke them, post on their walls or comment on their photos.

She had to call them.

“Even though I talked to my cousin every day, I hadn’t heard her voice forever,” said the 26year-old junior. “It was weird.

We were like, ‘We should do this more often.’”

Still, Myles signed onto Facebook when the assignment ended. “Who has time to call all these people?” she joked and, on her blog, confessed: “I miss being nosy.”

Adapting to life without media A break from social networking sites can help people ask important questions about their purpose, said Sherry Turkle, director of the Initiative on Technology and Self at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“Do you see your friends more often? Do you have telephone calls where you really can reach better understandings of what the other person is thinking and feeling?

“Breaking the circuit, for me, is not about breaking an ‘addiction,’” said Turkle, whose coming book, “Alone Together,” looks at young people who voluntarily sign off Facebook and other

sites. “We have to learn to live with these technologies. But a break can help us use technology to open a conversation.”

The media fasts vary in how long, how serious and what’s banned. Most require the undergrads to journal or blog along the way.

LaMarre’s five-day assignment within the University of Minnesota public relations course allowed students to use computers for work and homework, while freshmen taking a fall course at Augsburg College in Minneapolis could not use a long list of electronic media — including cell phones, computers, televisions, video games and radio — for 12 hours.

“Make a plan for what you’ll do INSTEAD of using media,” the description of that assignment advised. “You could hang out with your friends at a coffee shop and just talk. ... You could play board games like chess or Scrabble.”

A daylong or even weeklong fast isn’t enough for John Kim, a new media professor at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn. For a class he’s planning, called “Immedia,” he hopes to take students out of the city and off the grid for two weeks.

He expects that without cords and wireless, the students would

realize just how much they rely on both and, upon returning, would experience “a kind of bewilderment,” he said. “I imagine a lot of them have never done something like that, never gone on an extended hiking trip. It would be eye-opening.”

Lessons learned?

By Day 5 of LaMarre’s assignment, her University of Minnesota classroom was filled with evidence of failure. In the students’ bags? Laptops. In their hands? iPhones. In their ears? Earbuds.

Of the 43 students in the public relations course, just a handful made it even three days without new technology. Those who didn’t had their reasons: “I had 225 missed e-mails,” said Emma Casey, a public relations and Spanish major who lasted longer than many of her classmates. “It made me very, very anxious.”

“I don’t have very good selfcontrol,” a student admitted.

Then, from the middle of the room: “My mother thought I died.”

LaMarre, an assistant professor of strategic communication, pointed out that many of the people they hope to work for don’t use technology as they do, and “it’s not because we’re not capable,” she said.

“But the more and more we are linked in, the less and less freedom we have, in a way.”

Several students, who seemed to have forgotten about the cell phones and laptops sitting beside them, nodded their heads at that one.

From Tehran, a video game that may score in the West

By Thomas Erdbrink The Washington Post

TEHRAN, Iran — It might not seem that remarkable for a ragtag group of friends to come up with a computer game in a dusty back office.

But the Iranian engineering students, programmers and fantasy animators who created “Garshasp, the Monster Slayer” have not only impressed foreign companies with their product.

They have also proved that young Iranians can carve out opportunities for themselves against a backdrop of international sanctions, domestic deterrents and anti-government demonstrations.

The Tehran office run by business developer Arash Jafari and Chief Executive Amir Hossein Fassihi is no flashy Silicon Valley incubator, but it’s no standard Iranian workplace, either.

In the entrance, a life-size cut-

out of Akouman, a devilish character sporting large white horns, awaits visitors. The walls of the tiny “arts department” are lined with drawings of mythological beasts and warriors.

The game, created by a 20member team, is expected to be released abroad to coincide with the Iranian new year, which began Saturday.

There have been other Iranian-produced computer games, but “Garshasp,” an action-adventure game set in ancient Persia, is the first that can compete internationally.

A foundation funded by Iran’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance provided the team with seed money to promote its game in Europe, where a German distributor now intends to sell it.

“The only way we can fail now is if we screw things up ourselves,” Fassihi said. “We are in control of our own future.”

Iraq’s leaders call for a recount

By Timothy Williams and Zaid Thaker

13 Afghan civilians killed in bombings KABUL, Afghanistan — Bombings killed at least 13 civilians who had gathered to celebrate spring picnics in southern and eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, provincial authorities reported, and a joint NATO-Afghan force shot an elderly man in a house raid on a rural village in Wardak province.

The bombing in southern Afghanistan took place in Gereshk, a market town in Helmand province. A cart driver, his cargo hiding explosives, detonated them in a crowded area near where families were enjoying a traditional Nawroz picnic, which celebrates the new year and the coming of spring. The target apparently was an Afghan army convoy, but none of the soldiers were killed, said Abdul Ahad, the district governor.

In Khost province, an improvised explosive device blew up near a picnic area that had just begun to fill up with local people celebrating Nawroz. Three men driving on the road were killed and three others in their car were injured, according to the provincial police chief, Mohammed Yacoub.

Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki’s State of Law coalition was trailing Ayad Allawi’s Iraqiya alliance by some 11,000 votes Sunday in Iraq’s parliamentary election.

BAGHDAD — Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki endorsed the mounting calls for a recount of Iraq’s parliamentary election, as the latest results on Sunday showed his main competitor with a slight lead.

President Jalal Talabani, using more direct language, also called for a recount on Sunday.

The appeals by Iraq’s two highest government officials added to a rash of complaints related to how the March 7 election was conducted and how the votes were tallied. Each of the four leading political coalitions in the election has either alleged

widespread fraud or called for a recount in what has materialized as an exceedingly close race between al-Maliki and Ayad Allawi, a former prime minister.

On Sunday, with 95 percent of the vote counted, Allawi’s Iraqiya alliance led al-Maliki’s State of Law coalition by about 11,000 votes out of some 12 million votes cast, according to figures released by the Independent High Electoral Commission, which oversees elections.

While the overall totals are important, mainly for symbolic reasons, the provincial totals will determine which coalition gets the chance to form the next government.

In that race, al-Maliki leads

Sarkozy’s party falls in regional voting PARIS — President Nicolas Sarkozy met with party leaders on Sunday night to discuss how to respond to a severe defeat in regional elections, in which his majority party was defeated in 21 of 22 mainland regions, retaining a majority only in Alsace.

The defeat was expected after a first round of voting a week ago, especially after the opposition Socialist Party and its allies made common cause with the Europe Ecology party, running on joint party lists, but it stung nonetheless.

Sarkozy is scheduled to meet this morning with Prime Minister Francois Fillon, who is expected to announce his government’s resignation, but be reappointed as prime minister with a shuffled cabinet as a response to voter unhappiness. Sarkozy has already said that he will slow down the pace of structural changes, concentrating on a needed pension overhaul.

Immigration reform advocates take to the streets in Washington Tens of thousands march, then attend rally on National Mall

By Sarah Karush The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Frustrated with the lack of action to overhaul the country’s immigration system, tens of thousands of demonstrators rallied on the National Mall and marched through the streets of the capital Sunday, waving American flags and holding homemade signs in English and Spanish.

Supporters traveled from around the country in hopes the rally would re-energize Congress to take up the volatile issue. Some lawmakers oppose any attempt to help an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants become citizens, while others insist on stronger border controls first.

President Barack Obama, who promised to make overhauling

the immigration system a top priority in his first year, sought to reassure those at the rally with a video message presented on giant screens at the National Mall. The president said he was committed to working with Congress this year on a comprehensive bill to fix a “broken immigration system.”

Obama said problems include families being torn apart, employers gaming the system and police officers struggling to keep communities safe. The president said he would do everything in his power to forge a bipartisan consensus on immigration reform.

Some demonstrators were disappointed there hasn’t been more action a year into Obama’s term.

“I understand it may not all be his (Obama’s) fault,” said Manuel Bettran, a 21-year-old college student from Chicago. “I am frustrated. I really wish not just him, but everybody, would take it more seriously.”

Bettran arrived in Washington on Sunday morning after a 13-hour bus ride. Like many, he had a personal connection to the issue. His parents were once illegal immigrants but were able to take advantage of an amnesty in the 1980s.

“Fortunately, they were able to become citizens during the last amnesty, but I know many people that weren’t that lucky,” said the American-born Bettran, adding that his brother was never able to gain legal status.

Lawmakers failed to agree in 2006 and 2007 when they last tried to overhaul the immigration system, and the political climate is even tougher now.

Ben Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and a speaker at the rally, said the activists no doubt got the attention of lawmakers by converging on the mall “on the one Sunday Congress was in session.”

“I think you’ll see a response in the following weeks,” he said.

The U.S. military was watching Iraq electoral centers where ballots were being stored, worried that Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki might use the Iraqi military to lock down the buildings and “check the vote,” said a U.S. military official who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the subject’s sensitivity. Maliki and his allies “have no intention of giving up their regime,” the official said.

— The Washington Post

JERUSALEM — During a visit here on Sunday, the Obama administration’s Middle East envoy, George Mitchell, extended an invitation for the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, to speak with President Barack Obama in Washington this week.

The offer for a face-to-face meeting on Tuesday, which was accepted, was widely seen as a sign of an alleviation of the recent discord over new Israeli plans for Jewish housing in disputed East Jerusalem that had soured Israel’s relations with the United States.

The U.N. secretary-general, Ban Ki-moon, also met Israeli leaders after touring Gaza on Sunday, and he expressed his strong support for the expected start of indirect Israeli-

Palestinian peace talks.

Signifying the change in tone between Jerusalem and Washington, Mitchell told the Israelis on Sunday that “the relationship between the United States and Israel is strong and enduring, that our commitment to Israel’s security is unshakeable and unbreakable.

“And that’s the way it’s going to remain,” he added.

Mitchell’s visit, put off from last week, followed Netanyahu’s response to American demands of Israel to help reconcile. Netanyahu conveyed Israel’s response in a telephone call to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton late Thursday and in a letter over the weekend.

Netanyahu is traveling to Washington today to address a meeting of a pro-Israel lobbying group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Iceland braces for 2nd volcanic eruption REYKJAVIK, Iceland — A volcano in southern Iceland has erupted for the first time in almost 200 years, raising concerns that it could trigger a larger and potentially more dangerous eruption at a volatile volcano nearby.

The eruption at the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, located near a glacier of the same name, shot ash and molten lava into the air but scientists called it mostly peaceful. It occurred just before midnight Saturday at a fissure on a slope — rather than at the volcano’s summit — so scientists said there was no imminent danger that the glacier would melt and flood the area.

Nonetheless, officials sent phone messages to 450 people between the farming village of Hvolsvollur and the fishing village of Vik, some 100 miles southeast of the capital, Reykjavik, urging them to evacuate. A state of emergency was declared, although there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

in seven of Iraq’s 18 provinces, compared with five provinces for Allawi. Seats in parliament are allotted based on vote totals in each province, rather than on the national total.

The commission said complete results would be released Friday, once the most serious fraud allegations had been investigated.

But it could still be weeks before the results are certified and parliamentary seats allocated.

Despite the calls for a recount, the election commission again rejected the idea on Sunday. A spokesman said the commission would conduct its own investigation, but that it would be impossible to recheck each ballot as some parties had demanded.

Tensions built in the West Bank on Sunday when Israeli soldiers shot dead two Palestinian men they say threatened them with a pitchfork and ax. This brought the Palestinian death toll to four during the last two days in the Nablus region. On Saturday, two Palestinian teens were fatally shot by soldiers after a clash with Jewish settlers over a water well.

FLOODING IN THE MIDWEST

Fargo spared as Red River crests

By Susan Saulny New York Times News Service

Philippe Wojazer / The Associated Press

President Nicolas Sarkozy leaves the polling booth after casting his vote in the second round of France’s regional elections in Paris on Sunday.

FARGO, N.D. — The Red River crested here on Sunday at a level slightly lower than predicted, sparing the metropolitan area from widespread flooding and easing fears that had built up during weeks of anxious anticipation.

The river hit a high-water mark of 36.9 feet, about a foot lower than what had been expected, and 4 feet lower than last year’s record crest.

There were no fatalities or serious injuries from the river’s swelling from melting ice and snow, authorities said.

The city’s temporary emergency defenses — a million sandbags and 20 miles of clay dikes — worked without complications.

“The real secret to this success is being 4 feet lower than last year,” said Mayor Dennis Walaker, referring to the height of the river’s crest. “Right now, if you travel the city of Fargo, things look wonderful.”

Walaker and others noted, however, that the rural areas outside the city did not fare as well, as many farm fields were flooded, and roads had to be closed because of high water.

Four to 6 inches of water col-

lected on Interstate 29 about 10 miles north of Fargo, forcing the state Highway Patrol to close one lane of southbound traffic.

The flooded area was about three-fourths of a mile long, said Lt. Bryan Niewind of the North Dakota Highway Patrol.

If the water were to get deeper, Niewind said, traffic would be diverted to state highways.

The problem in the rural areas mainly stemmed from the inability of the Red River to absorb overflow from smaller tributaries, which are backing up and spilling over.

Taxes Continued from A1 The Board of Property Tax Appeals, whose volunteer members are appointed by the County Commission, meet each weekday from Feb. 17 through April in a small room at the main county building in downtown Bend. Three of the board’s eight members at a time listen to testimony and work through stacks of appeals documents.

It’s too early to know how much appeals could lower tax revenue this year, since the tax appeals board is scheduled to hear cases through April 15, and property owners who are still unsatisfied at that point can appeal to the state. As of Thursday, a preliminary county estimate was that the board had so far lowered taxes by at least $139,667.

The development company with the most appeals this year, Long Term Bend Investors LLC, just formed last summer. It appealed values on 193 properties.

Bank of the Cascades had the second largest number of appeals: 178.

Other entities with large number of appeals were Columbia River Bank, taken over by Columbia State Bank in January, property owner Patrick Gisler and the Gisler Family Trust, Liberty Bank and Plaza Bend LLC, which owns luxury condominiums in the Old Mill District.

While the number of tax appeals increased in recent years, some businesses and individuals have appealed almost every year, even during the height of the real estate boom.

Among the 10 largest taxpayers in Deschutes County, Pronghorn Investors LLC appears to have been the most successful at lowering its tax bills by appealing them at the county’s Board of Property Tax Appeals in recent years. In the 2006-07 tax year, Pronghorn Investors LLC successfully lowered its tax bill by about $93,040 by appealing to the county board. It has filed fewer county appeals since then and did not file any appeals this year.

Lowering tax bills Although thousands of appeals were filed this winter, property taxes can be lowered before they ever reach the county appeals board, if the property owner and county Assessor’s Office agree on values through what is known as a stipulation.

The appeals process begins at the county Board of Property Tax Appeals, where owners or their attorneys present appraisal reports or sale information from comparable properties in the area and argue for lower assessed property values. Appeals must be filed by Dec. 31, according to the state Department of Revenue.

If the property owner or the county assessor disagrees with the board’s decision, he or she can appeal to the Magistrate Division of the Oregon Tax Court.

The magistrate’s decision can also be appealed, at the Regular Division of the Oregon Tax Court.

Declining values, rising tax bills County Assessor Scot Langton said one reason for the large increase in property tax appeals this year is probably the 10month period between when the Assessor’s Office takes a snapshot of property values on Jan. 1 and when the office sends out tax bills in October. Last year, the drop in property values during that time was especially steep, Langton said, so many people were surprised to see their tax bills still increased.

Attorney General warns of taxreduction scams Government agencies reassess taxes for free, so people should beware of mailings that offer to reduce their property taxes for a fee, Attorney General John Kroger’s office warned.

One recent mailing reported to the Oregon Department of Justice was misleadingly titled, “2010 Property Tax Reduction Form,” according to Kroger’s office. Some mailers threaten to charge property owners a late fee if they do not send them money by a certain date.

If people want their taxes to be reassessed, they should contact their local county assessor’s offices.

To report a suspected scam, call the Oregon Department of Justice Consumer Hotline at 877-877-9392 or go to the department’s Web site, www .oregonattorney general.gov.

passed in 1997, amended the state constitution to set the assessed value of properties at the 1995 market value, minus 10 percent. Under the measure, assessed value can only grow by 3 percent annually, and property taxes are based on whichever value is lower, assessed value or real market value.

This fall, some property owners could see their tax bills drop for the first time since Measure 50 passed, because the market values for some properties in Deschutes County are expected to dip below the assessed values.

Real estate investors Catherine Black and Michael Black appealed the assessor’s values on 24 of their properties this year, without success, Catherine Black said.

The board told Catherine Black the property values and the couple’s tax bills might drop in 2010.

“In the meantime, there is no relief, and you just have to pay taxes on the property that is assessed at a whole lot more than you can sell it at in today’s market,” Catherine Black said.

New property owners seek lower tax bills Many asking for taxes to be lowered this year are the posthousing-boom property owners.

Census Continued from A1 In Maine, census workers will begin delivering forms this week by whatever means it takes — ATV, snowmobile, cross-country skis or snowshoes — to get to those hard-to-get-to places.

“You don’t now what you’re going to find,” said Danielle Forino, who will use her ATV to get to hunting, fishing and logging camps in the wilds of far northern Maine. “And I definitely anticipate coming across a lot of wildlife; the bears are coming out so we have that to look forward to. And I’m not sure if the people will want to be bothered, but hopefully they’ll be cooperative.”

One woman rode horseback to get to homes for the 2000 census, said Rick Theriault, manager of the Census Bureau’s Bangor office for this year’s census. In Alaska,

“We do whatever it takes to get the job done,” Theriault said.

Census forms were mailed last week to 90 percent of the homes, about 120 million of them. Census workers are visiting the other 10

the housing market tanked.

Bank of the Cascades appealed the assessor’s valuations of properties that included two undeveloped subdivisions the bank took back from developers through deed in lieu of foreclosure in 2008, said Executive Vice President Frank Wheeler. One subdivision alone had 114 lots.

The bank has already sold the subdivisions, but still had to pay the 2009-10 tax bills.

“It’s basically dirt, and we know we’ve seen a pretty dramatic decrease in the value of lots in Deschutes County, based on the appraisals that are currently coming in,” Wheeler said of the bank’s reason for appealing.

Bank of the Cascades was successful in getting the board to lower assessed values on one subdivision, but Wheeler declined to say by how much. The bank is still deciding whether to appeal valuations of lots in the other subdivision at the state level.

The company with the most appeals is Long Term Bend Investors LLC, which is purchasing property around Bend with the intention of building homes. The company appealed the assessor’s values on 193 properties, according to the appeal schedule.

Real estate broker Darrin Kelleher and Vice President David Langmas represented the company before the board on March 15, and Kelleher told the board that Long Term Bend Investors purchased at least one subdivision from a developer in distress.

“We do represent a developer who is buying the majority of unfinished lots in Bend,” Kelleher said. The developer believes he should not pay taxes on assessor’s property valuations that are higher than the prices he paid for the properties, Kelleher said.

The Assessor’s Office had already offered to stipulate to a lower assessed value on at least some of the properties, but Kelleher and Langmas said it wasn’t enough.

Langmas said later in an interview that Long Term Bend Investors bought many of the lots for about $23,000 each, so even the value the Assessor’s Office stipulated to — $65,000 — was more than twice as much.

The current tax bills and assessor’s property values will not hurt Long Term Bend Investors’ business, Langmas said, but he is worried they will keep property values and tax bills too high for future homeowners.

“The people that are buying those houses, they should get those houses without really high taxes,” Langmas said.

percent in person to deliver the forms in areas that don’t have regular mail service or “city-style” addresses to receive mail.

Two places — much of Alaska and Maine’s North Woods — have been designated by the Census Bureau as requiring special travel arrangements to reach remote locations.

Those rural and sparsely populated areas, which contain less than 1 percent of all U.S. households, have irregular mail service and often cannot be reached by car.

Those people, like everybody else, still have to be counted.

Census officials in January kicked off the start of Census 2010 in one of those remote communities, the Inupiat Eskimo village of Noorvik, Alaska. To reach Noorvik, U.S. Census Bureau Director Robert Groves and other census officials flew to the village and then rode by dog sled to a local school for a launch ceremony.

Paint Continued from A1 Several of the VOCs also can cause eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches and other health hazards, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

And while the compounds evaporate pretty quickly — after a few weeks most of the solvent is gone — people can be exposed while painting.

In general, low-VOC paints are those with less than 50 grams per liter of VOC, while zero-VOC products have less than 5 g/L. At Brilliant, a green-building materials store in Bend, owner Jorden Swert carries zero-VOC Yolo paints, he said.

“The biggest thing that people think about is they want something that’s going to be healthy and nontoxic, and they also want the performance,” he said.

The Yolo paints are certified

by Green Seal, he said, which means a third party has ensured the product is free of a long list of chemicals.

VOCs are used in paints to make the product spreadable and coat a wall, he said. Also, VOCs — which include formaldehyde, benzene and other petroleum-based compounds — are cheap. But they’re not something you want to be breathing in, he said, so companies have developed other ways of getting paint to stick to walls through products like the

acrylic-based Yolo paints.

The company also makes zero-VOC pigments to add color to the paints, he noted.

“The pigments that you add in can also add VOC content back into the paint,” Swert said.

And the greener options aren’t limited to paint — the store sells soy-based clear sealers and stains, including stains for concrete. Soy is a good substitute for some of the petroleumbased chemicals, Swert said, and can still adhere to walls and surfaces.

There also are other products like thinners and stains that may have a low-VOC content, but the compounds are from ingredients like orange peel oils, he said. So customers might have options for a product that’s zero-VOC, and something that has more natural ingredients.

When picking a paint, he said, people who want a more natural product can look at the back of cans — more natural products are generally the ones you can pronounce, he said — but customers also can smell the paint to see if it irritates them.

And customers looking for environmentally friendly paints aren’t limited to specialty stores, said Daryl Peterson, a salesman at Denfeld Paints in Bend, and they don’t have to pay a whole lot more for the low-VOC or zero-VOC paint lines.

A good zero-VOC paint at Denfeld can cost between $20 and $25 a gallon, he said, while

Bias still a hurdle for women in the sciences, report finds New York Times News Service A report on the underrepresentation of women in science and math by the American Association of University Women, to be released today, found that although women have made gains, stereotypes and cultural biases still impede their success.

The report, “Why So Few?” supported by the National Science Foundation, examined decades of research to gather recommendations for drawing more women into science, technology, engineering and mathematics,

the so-called STEM fields.

“We scanned the literature for research with immediate applicability,” said Catherine Hill, the university women’s research director and lead author of the report. “We found a lot of small things can make a difference, like ... teaching children that math ability is not fixed, but grows with effort.”

The report treads lightly on the hot-button question of whether innate differences between the sexes account for the paucity of women at the highest levels of science and math.

the price range for traditional paints could be between $15 and $45.

“We have a zero-VOC paint in every line we carry,” Peterson said, and the store also has a line of biodegradable dropcloths, recycled roller covers and other items in its eco-friendly display.

And with improvements in the overall paint technology, most products — even if they aren’t labeled as low-VOC — have fewer of the compounds than they did previously.

One of the higher-end products at Denfeld is the Divine Green, said Jeff Goemaat of Denfeld, but the Pittsburgh Paints are a good value for the money as well.

And with the eco-friendly paints, color choice isn’t a problem, Goemaat said.

“We can go green in any color they want to pick,” he said.

At The Home Depot, customers can look for the “Eco Options,” which include some lowVOC selections as well as the zero-VOC FreshAire products and a Behr paint and primer in one, said spokeswoman Kathryn Gallagher.

“That’s going to of course reduce the impact to the environment, and it’s also going to be nice becuase you can paint and sleep in your own house that night,” she said.

Lawmakers Continued from A1 The bill will ban insurance companies from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions, end lifetime caps on insurance coverage and require nearly all Americans to have health insurance.

And for Oregon, the bill will mean a short-term influx of money for hospitals and doctors, through higher Medicare payments, and the prospect of higher payments in the long term as well.

After the bill passed, Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Springfield, said it ranks as one of the most positive of the historic votes he’s taken.

“I’ve been through a couple of wars, an impeachment. None of those was really productive,” DeFazio said. “This should benefit the American people for years to come, with a few changes.”

Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, didn’t shift from his stance of staunch opposition to the sweeping measure. Walden said that even a provision designed to increase Medicare payments to Oregon doctors may end up delivering less than Democrats are promising.

Although the vote was close, the outcome was sealed late Sunday afternoon, when Michigan Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak announced that he had reached a deal with President Barack Obama on how to treat insurance coverage of abortion.

Obama agreed to issue an executive order reaffirming that federal money can’t be used to fund abortions.

Walden said it appeared that Stupak and a handful of other anti-abortion Democrats sold their votes cheaply, given that an executive order can be reversed by legislation.

“I can’t imagine if that was your core issue, that (executive order) is a solution to your problem,” Walden said.

Politically, Walden said it’s clear that the bill has done more to stir up anger among the Republican base than it has to satisfy the Democratic one. The National Republican Congressional Committee polling shows people strongly opposed to the bill outnumber people strongly in favor of it by about 2-1.

“That’s what drives turnout, that’s what drives action,” Walden said.

Walden also said he’s skeptical that a deal to increase Medicare payment rates to Oregon and 16 other states would help local doctors as much as Democrats believe.

Medicare provision The deal reached early Saturday provides $800 million over two years to 17 states with low Medicare reimbursement rates.

President Barack Obama also pledged to launch two studies to rewrite the Medicare payments formula after 2012, to make it fairer to those states, Walden agreed that the deal would help Oregon health care providers in the short term, but he was skeptical that a new formula would ever take effect, given likely opposition from states like New York, which would see cuts in Medicare payments to their doctors.

“I’m not betting that New York and Florida and California are going to agree to decrease their payment rates,” Walden said.

Meanwhile, the National Republican Congressional Committee attacked the provision as a “backroom deal,” to help buy the vote of Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Canby. Schrader announced he would support the health care bill after the deal was reached.

DeFazio had threatened to vote against the bill unless the provision was added.

Schrader called the provision “a pretty front room deal,” and said it will end up saving Medicare money and helping doctors in Oregon.

“Make my day by bringing that up as a campaign issue,” Schrader said.

Walden, who is a top lieutenant at the NRCC, said he wasn’t involved in the attack on Schrader.

Asked if the provision amounted to a backroom deal for Schrader, Walden said “I don’t know what

Health reform bill highlights FOR RURAL AREAS • Creates a grant program designed to pay for preventive medicine and cut rates of chronic disease in rural areas.

• Increase the number of doctor-training programs in rural areas.

• Creates scholarships and loans to doctors who agree to work in rural communities, and funds a variety of federal and state programs to attract doctors, dentists and mental health workers to those areas.

• Does not include an amendment by Rep. Greg Walden, D-Hood River, to require rural representation on the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission and another government board set up to make Medicare more efficient.

FOR MEDICARE ADVANTAGE • Cuts $136 billion from Medicare Advantage plans, the privately administered Medicare plans that make up about 40 percent of Medicare plans in Oregon.

• Gives payment bonuses to Medicare Advantage plans rated as being high quality and with high levels of customer satisfaction. Oregon has an aboveaverage number of plans rated as high quality.

FOR MEDICARE • Cuts a total of $455 billion from Medicare programs, mostly by slowing the growth in payments to health care providers.

• Eliminates the Medicare Part D prescription drug “donut hole.” That’s the gap in coverage for seniors who spend more than $2,700 in a year until they spend $6,100.

• Takes steps to cut fraud and waste in the program, including creating a database of contracts that have been sanctioned by Medicare and allowing the program to stop payments to people who make false claims.

TAXES AND FEES • Imposes a $60 billion fee on health insurance companies through 2019.

• Increases the Medicare payroll tax by .9 percentage points for families that earn more than $250,000 a year.

• Creates a new 3.8 percent tax on investment income for families that earn more than $250,000 a year.

• Raises $23.6 billion through 2019 by ending a tax credit for the “black liquor” biodiesel that is a byproduct of paper mills. Sen. Ron Wyden, DOre., has defended the tax credit in the past.

• Levies a 40 percent tax on family health care plans worth more than $27,500 a year. The tax, which goes into effect in 2018, would raise an estimated $32 billion.

— Keith Chu, The Bulletin discussions he was in.”

On Sunday afternoon, DeFazio acknowledged that sweetheart deals remain in the bill, which he blamed on Senate Democrats.

But he forcefully rejected that the Medicare provision was undeserved, in an interview just off of the House floor.

“If they think it costs 3½ times as much to do the same medical procedure in Miami or Boston or New York (as in Oregon) and we’re not wasting an incredible amount of money, if they know any seniors who can’t get into see doctors because our doctors are being reimbursed below their lowest cost of care and our hospitals for insured people, are shifting costs onto them from the under-reimbursement of Medicare, if they think that’s all good, if they think it’s good that seniors can’t get in to see doctors, then more power to them.”

DeFazio said.

Rep. David Wu, D-Portland, said President Barack Obama’s promise to rewrite the formula for Medicare payments will make the program more fair for dozens of states, not just Oregon.

“It’s not a matter of cutting out a handful of states,” Wu said.

“That’s the old politics.”

The bill is a first step, said Gary Plant, a physician with the Madras Medical Group.

“Just getting that many more people insured is going to have a tremendous impact, certainly in Jefferson County,” Plant said, noting that about 10 percent to 15 percent of the patients at his practice are uninsured.

And without insurance, people let medical problems go, turning simple problems, like a small skin infection, into bigger, more costly issues.

“A lot of people have ended up using the emergency room as their primary care clinic, which of course is the most expensive way of getting the care they need, and tend to not get their chronic conditions taken care of,” Plant said.

Bob Hakala, the co-medical director at Volunteers in Medicine’s Clinic of the Cascades, said that he doesn’t expect any immediate improvements from the bill.

Implementation delay “In the immediate time frame, it probably won’t change the population we serve because it’s going to take a while to implement this,” he said. “There are so many people in our county right now that need our services, that we can’t meet the need currently. I don’t think that’s going to change.”

Bend retiree Jack O’Malley, 71, said the health care bill isn’t

Republicans show they still know how to work a crowd WASHINGTON — The journey to health care reform has been long and gruesome, so it’s only fitting that on the day passage finally seemed assured, Republican members of Congress stood on the balcony of the people’s House and stirred up an unruly crowd.

As lawmakers debated their way to a vote, dozens of GOP members walked from the chamber, across the Speaker’s Lobby and out onto the balcony to whip up thousands of “tea party” protesters massed on the south side of the Capitol.

everything he hoped for, but it’s better than the status quo.

“What’s happening in Congress is not perfect, but it’s a start,” said O’Malley, who is also a volunteer spokesman for AARP. “Medicare wasn’t perfect either when it was passed.”

‘Donut hole’ closure O’Malley said the eventual closure of the “donut hole” in Medicare’s prescription drug coverage would be the most important feature for him and his wife, who is a nurse at St. Charles Bend.

The donut hole is a gap in coverage that begins after Medicare customers spend more than $2,700 in a year, and ends once they spend $6,100.

For the country, the bill’s provisions to expand coverage to about 32 million people who are currently uninsured is the biggest achievement, O’Malley said.

“If 30 million people can somehow get coverage, to me that’s well worth it,” O’Malley said.

While many of the speeches delivered Sunday were gravely serious, members had time for wisecracks, on and off the floor.

“I regret that I have but 15 seconds to give for my colleague,” said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., when a fellow Republican ran out of time to speak on the floor.

Outside the House side of the Capitol, a throng of protesters kept up a steady song of chanting, cheering and jeering throughout the day. “Kill the bill!” was most popular, but “Naaaancy!” after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, DCalif., and snippets of the Tom Petty hit, “I won’t back down” were also heard.

Walden took part, too. Standing on the balcony overlooking the protesters, Walden held the “I” in string of handwritten signs spelling “Kill the bill.” He also posted a picture of the protest to his Twitter page.

Asked about other members of Congress who were egging on protesters, Blumenauer said they were “just idiots.”

Wu had a sunnier assessment.

“This is what makes America great,” Wu said.

A package of amendments to the bill will to go to the Senate for a vote later this week.

Now, Walden said, he has his staff combing through the bill, so they’re ready to answer constituent questions about what it will mean for them.

“We need to be prepared to start answering those questions,” Walden said.

Keith Chu can be reached at 202-662-7456 or at kchu@bendbulletin.com.

Some lawmakers waved handwritten signs and led the crowd in chants of “Kill the Bill.” A few waved the yellow “Don’t Tread on Me” flag of the tea-party movement. Still others fired up the demonstrators with campaign-style signs mocking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and offering messages such as “Let’s Meet ’em at the State Line.”

Some Democrats worried aloud about the risk of violence, while Capitol police struggled to keep the crowd away from the building.

Fifteen months of episodic battles over health care reform had often ended, as the finale did, with epithets and shouts.

Health care

President Barack Obama, joined by Vice President Joe Biden, addresses the nation Sunday after the final House vote on health care reform.

Continued from A1 Obama is expected to sign both measures, and trigger the biggest changes to the health care system since Medicare was created 45 years ago.

What will the new plan do?

Under the new plan, most consumers would be required to have coverage by 2014, and most employers would have to offer it.

Within a year, insurers would be barred from denying coverage to children because of pre-existing conditions, imposing lifetime limits on coverage and dropping people from coverage when they get sick.

By 2014, virtually everyone would have to obtain coverage while employers would have to offer it.

“Just think, we will be joining those who established Social Security, Medicare, and now, tonight, health care for all Americans,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said before the vote.

The reconciliation bill makes several key changes to the Senate measure. The Medicare payroll tax would go up 0.9 percentage points, to 2.35 percent, for single filers earning more than $200,000 for joint filers making more than $250,000. In addition, they would pay 3.8 percent on dividend, interest and other unearned income, starting in 2013.

The bill also provides more help with insurance premiums for lower- and middle-income consumers and expands Medicaid funding to states.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates 32 million more people, or 94 percent of eligible Americans, will be insured by 2019.

“I know that this bill is complicated,” said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. “It’s also very simple. Illness and infirmity are universal, and we are stronger against them together than alone. Our bodies may fail us. Our neighbors don’t have to.”

Republicans warned the plan’s impact would reverberate beyond health care policy.

In an impassioned floor speech, House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, chastised House Democrats for ramming through a bill and suggested the majority party will pay the price in November’s midterm elections.

“We have failed to listen to America,” Boehner said. “If we pass this bill, there will be no turning back. It will be the last straw for the American people. In a democracy, you can only ignore the will of the people for so long and get away with it.”

Thorny problems on the way to passage The outcome was in some doubt early Sunday as about a dozen anti-abortion Democrats threatened to withhold their support unless they got guarantees the legislation wouldn’t expand the government’s role in abortion.

However, the White House

J. Scott Applewhite The Associated Press

said Sunday afternoon that Obama would issue an executive order to ensure the administration will enforce long-standing restrictions on the use of federal funds for abortion.

Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., who led the anti-abortion group, was pleased, and flatly predicted that when the House votes late Sunday, it will have the 216 needed for passage.

“We wanted to see health care reform, but there was a principle we wanted to see — the sanctity of life,” Stupak said. Another group member, Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., said he now planned to cast “the most pro-life vote” in his 34-year congressional career.

The lengthy executive order, negotiated over several days, resolves several thorny problems — it removes from the legislation any changes to abortion policy, which would have required the difficult prospect of getting Senate approval. It also assures the support of the last big bloc of holdout Democrats.

Democrats picked up other key votes Sunday. Rep. Brian Baird, D-Wash., who had voted no on the House bill in November, said he’d now vote yes. “This legislation before us is not perfect, but it does make substantial improvements on what exists today,” he said.

Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio,

(541)549-6406 370 E. Cascade, Sisters License #78462

one of the anti-abortion Democrats on the fence, told Toledo, Ohio, said she got assurances from administration officials that current federal law on abortion would be preserved.

Democrats, though, were still having trouble convincing a lot of “Blue Dogs,” or fiscal conservatives. Rep. John Tanner, DTenn., on Sunday decided to vote “no” because “I am unconvinced the long-term trend of rising health care costs is adequately addressed.”

No big surprise The debate on the House floor was a rerun of sorts, as Republicans and Democrats took turns offering well-rehearsed talking points.

“We know a nation is truly healthy when all of its citizens can have health care,” said Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash.

“These bills are not the answer.

They compound current problems and make health care even more expensive for small businesses,” argued Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C.

Dispute arises over site cleanup business

Dual-language program starting Optional program begins this fall at Bear Creek school

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

A small construction site cleanup business has run afoul of one of Bend’s two garbage companies, triggering a dispute that has come before the Bend City Council.

Randy Mahaney started Clean-Up Industries about 10 years ago, when a contractor friend asked him to help out by cleaning up a job site and hauling the debris to the landfill. Within a few months, he had more work than he could handle, and eventually built the business up to include a dump trailer, 32 10-yard drop boxes and four employees.

In December, an attorney representing Cascade Disposal, one of the city’s two garbage companies, wrote Mahaney claiming his business was in violation of Cascade Disposal’s franchise agreement with the city of Bend.

The letter instructed him to stop doing business in Cascade Disposal’s territory, and threatened legal action if he refused.

As with natural gas, electric and cable companies, the city has franchise agreements with its garbage companies, granting them the exclusive right to operate in the city in exchange for a fee.

For Cascade Disposal and Bend Garbage & Recycling — Cascade Disposal holds the franchise in the areas south of Greenwood Avenue, while Bend Garbage & Recycling covers the areas north of Greenwood — the franchise fee to the city is 4 percent of the companies’ gross receipts.

The city budget projects that garbage franchise fees will generate $482,000 for the city in the 2010-11 budget year, all of which is dedicated to the street maintenance fund.

Rain-snow mix on tap throughout the week

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

The first full week of spring will bring a mix of weather typical for the season, with some rain and snow showers expected, and temperatures ranging from lows of 20 degrees to highs in the upper 60s.

“Normally, as we get into March and April, you can get some pretty good heating during the day, and at night things can drop off quite a bit,” said Mary Johnson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pendleton.

And with one weather system coming in after another, there can be sudden changes in temperatures as well.

Today should be mostly cloudy, with a 20 percent chance of some rain or snow showers. Highs should be between 45 and 51 degrees, she said, before the skies clear tonight and temperatures drop to around 20 to 27 degrees.

Tuesday morning is predicted to bring partly cloudy skies, clearing through the day, with highs between 55 and 61 degrees and lows between 22 and 30, she said.

Wednesday’s forecast looks similar, Johnson said, with partly cloudy skies and no precipitation in the forecast.

But the temperatures are predicted to get up to a high of 62 to 67 on Wednesday afternoon — the highest forecast for the week — before dropping back to lows of 27 to 36 that night.

Bend-La Pine Schools will start a Spanish-English immersion program at Bear Creek Elementary this fall.

The optional program will start in two kindergarten classes and expand each year into the next grade level, and will

provide students with English and Spanish instruction. The goal is to provide English development for Spanish-speaking students, while building language proficiency for English speakers as well.

Beginning in December, a team of parents, teachers and administrators met to discuss the logistics of starting the dual-language immersion program, and considered placing it in either Juniper Elementary or Bear Creek Elementary.

Lora Nordquist, the district’s curriculum development director, said Bear Creek Elementary

Learn more Bend-La Pine Schools will host two informational meetings on Bear Creek Elementary’s new dual-language immersion program.

The meetings will take place at 3 and 6 p.m., April 28, at Bear Creek Elementary, 51 S.E. 13th St., in Bend.

Presentations and information will be in both English and Spanish. was selected because about 20 percent of the school’s population is enrolled in English language learner programs, and it has a high number of staff members who speak Spanish.

In addition, the district selected Bear Creek instead of Ju-

niper because Juniper already has a specialty program in the form of its technology magnet program.

“That’s kind of a neat characteristic we celebrate at that school,” she said. “We thought it would be great to have a pro-

gram at Bear Creek that was sort of a feature program.”

Bear Creek also houses the Plaza Comunitaria, a program operated by High Desert Education Service District that offers Spanish literacy services to adults.

“They’ve got some really nice connections with the Latino community already,” Nordquist said.

The program will begin with two full-day kindergarten classes, and each year the program will expand one grade until it extends through fifth grade.

toads are curious ani-

mals, naturalist Nicole Tripp told a group of kids and their families Sunday morning at the Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory. They live on land like a toad, but have the smooth skin of a frog.

And just as she was talking about the amphibian’s unusual pupils, which are a vertical slit, it launched from her hand toward Zander Hafeman, 4, visiting from Scappoose.

“When the frog jumped out, I thought it was going to land on his head,” said Zander’s brother Zach Hafeman, 9.

It didn’t — landing safely on the floor instead — and Tripp quickly scooped up the spadefoot, noting its fantastic jumping abilities.

And this week, with spring break visitors flocking to Sunriver, it is offering daily nature talks and classes for kids.

“What we always want to give to kids is a sense of stewardship,” Tripp said, since in a couple of decades they’ll be the ones making decisions about protecting habitat and wildlife.

The Nature Center is also opening the observatory this week, both

during the day for solar viewing and on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, weather permitting.

Sunday, several families wandered through the center on a rainy and windy morning. Abi Hoem, 10, who was there with her younger sister, Ava, 5, and their mother and grandmother, had been to the Nature Center before, but found new animals on display to look at.

“It’s really cool to see the quail and the owl,” Abi said, while Ava chimed in to say she liked the stuffed chipmunk.

And both girls stretched out their arms to see how their reach compares to the wingspans of birds.

“She’s a falcon,” Abi reported. “I’m an osprey.”

Their grandmother, Nancy Icenogle, who lives part time in Sunriver, said she’s a big supporter of the center and what it does.

“We want to instill this love of the environment and animal life,” she said.

Stimulus money awards varied

Compiled from Bulletin staff report

Rescuers find lost skier unhurt A cross-country skier was found uninjured Sunday, after he got lost in the Todd Lake area. Crews from Deschutes County Search and Rescue responded after a woman and her husband became separated Sunday afternoon, according to Sgt. Vance Lawrence with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.

The skier was dressed warmly and had packed food, Lawrence said. After talking with him on the phone, Search and Rescue members were able to determine where he was, and picked him up within an hour or two, Lawrence said.

Weather a factor in surge of starving sea lion pups Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Marine mammal centers along the Southern California coast have been inundated with starving sea lion pups, the latest calamity to befall marine life and a pattern scientists believe could be tied to El Niùo climate conditions.

Since January, the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach has rescued at least 27 emaciated sea lion pups that washed up stranded on the Orange County coast — a three- to fourfold increase from the norm, said Dr. Richard Evans, the center’s medical director.

The cause of the starvation is a scarcity of food. Climatologists with the National Marine Fisheries Service say El Niùo’s warming effects on Pacific waters are causing fish to flee to colder areas.

Some experts think El NiĂąo is partly to blame for the hundreds of sick pelicans that have inundated recovery centers.

EUGENE — The ill winds of economic recession have driven away from the Eugene Symphony some dollars given by donors or spent by audiences on tickets.

So Executive Director Paul Winberg has eagerly turned to the federal stimulus program for help.

The $50,000 awarded the symphony was enough to pay its 83 professional, part-time musicians for two rehearsal sessions and part of a third that otherwise would have been canceled. “This is money that goes into the musicians’ pockets, that in turn goes into the economy,� he said. “It actually has met the intent of what the stimulus funds were all about.�

The symphony aid is among hundreds of grants from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the stimulus program that went to Lane County entities in the act’s first year, 2009. The money also has gone to pay salaries of teachers in local school districts, bus drivers at Lane Transit District, government researchers studying the Amazon Creek watershed and researchers at a nonprofit who are studying how middle school students are influenced by their peers.

In many cases, the money didn’t directly spark new activity or create new jobs. Rather, it paid for public employees and others to continue doing what they already were doing, or helped the jobless survive until they find work.

The Eugene Symphony received $50,000 in federal stimulus money to pay its 83 musicians, who would otherwise have had fewer rehearsals and been paid less. $9 million to Cascade Sierra Solutions, a green-energy nonprofit group in Coburg that is lending the money to trucking companies nationwide to buy new, fuel-efficient vehicles and to retrofit older models to burn less diesel.

Public services

Buying time The federal program aims to spend $787 billion nationwide over 2.5 years. Free from any mandate to balance its budget, the federal government is borrowing heavily, then handing out the money to state and local governments that are barred by law from running deficits.

Advocates hope this helps keep the nation’s economic wheels turning or its violins and cellos playing until the private sector revives.

In Oregon, the biggest chunk of stimulus aid, a projected $3.9 billion over 2.5 years, will go to state agencies, which are doling out much of the money as assistance to the unemployed, the elderly and the poor.

By the end of 2009, according to a report by Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s office, state government had obligated or spent nearly

The Lane Transit District in Eugene is spending $3.2 million of its stimulus money to renovate and expand a maintenance building used to service the new 60-foot-long EmX line buses. $1.7 billion. Of that, $707 million was emergency unemployment compensation and extended benefits to the long lines of Oregon’s jobless. Another big chunk, $545 million, was direct aid to the growing ranks of the needy, in the form of increased food stamps, welfare payments and health care. Education got $279 million, mostly to pay teachers, and other school and university employees.

Separately, hundreds of millions of stimulus dollars have entered Oregon without passing through state agencies, instead flowing directly to local governments, nonprofit groups such as

the Eugene Symphony, and private contractors.

Add that to small-business loans plus reimbursements to car dealers for their participation in the Cash for Clunkers program, and Oregon last year received $3.9 billion in stimulus money, according to a database compiled by Pro Publica, a nonprofit journalism organization based in New York. Of that amount, $206 million went specifically to Lane County-based entities, according to ProPublica.

The stimulus paid $6,900 to a Eugene woman to collect and deliver native plant seeds for the U.S. Forest Service. It paid

The awards vary in how strictly they meet the stimulus program’s aim of putting people to work and helping recession-buffeted public services.

The Lane Transit District received stimulus awards totaling $9.3 million. But not all those dollars will have an equally stimulative effect on Oregon’s economy.

LTD is spending $3.2 million of that to remodel a 20-year-old maintenance building, putting construction workers on the job, LTD spokesman Andy Vobora said. LTD put another $3.2 million of stimulus money into its operating budget, to help offset a plunge in LTD’s main operating revenue, a payroll tax paid by employers. LTD’s payroll tax receipts have sagged as privatesector companies laid off workers. The stimulus cash allowed LTD to delay for a year a deep cut in staffing and bus routes. LTD now plans to make those cuts this summer.

O Dogs seized in Benton County dogfighting ring

I B Pilot Rock teacher accused of sex crimes PENDLETON — A Pilot Rock teacher has been indicted by a grand jury and has been arrested, facing 35 counts of sexual crimes after accusations he had inappropriate relationships with high school-age girls.

The East Oregonian reports teacher and coach Kevin Mathew Nice was arrested without incident on Friday in Union County.

He is now at the Umatilla County jail and is likely to be arraigned today.

The previous day, a Umatilla County Grand Jury indicted the 37-year-old Nice on multiple charges, including first-degree sodomy and first-degree sexual abuse, among others.

Nice had been under investigation since December 2009, when allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a student emerged.

He had been a teacher for 12 years, and he coached baseball and football.

Eugene man arrested in apparent hate crime EUGENE — Eugene police say two men punched and kicked a 33-year-old man of Jewish descent in an apparent hate crime early Sunday.

Police arrested one of the men, holding him on charges of second-degree assault, thirddegree assault, first-degree intimidation and unlawful use of a weapon.

The man was assaulted twice within the span of a couple of hours. Police say the victim said one of the men used anti-Semitic slurs.

Police are looking for the second man.

2 die in crash on U.S. 126 near Nimrod EUGENE — Two people are dead after their car crashed on U.S. Highway 126 just west of Nimrod.

Oregon State Police say the single-vehicle crash occurred shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday.

Details were still sketchy, but the crash knocked down at least one power line.

Troopers are still compiling information on the victims and have not released any names.

Amy Dreves checks a cider vinegar container and a pest strip last week at a local blueberry patch near the Oregon State University campus where the fruit fly known as the spotted winged Drosophilia was found last year in Corvallis. The fly has emerged as the most serious insect threat to high-value fruit and berry crops. It’s too late, experts say, to wipe it out.

Scientists race against crop-destroying fruit fly

By Eric Mortenson The Oregonian

PORTLAND — It’s a tiny fruit fly with an exotic name and a taste for some of Oregon’s most valuable crops. And since its surprise and destructive appearance last August, the state’s leading entomologists have been engaged in a frantic, crash course to find it, understand it and control it.

First found in Oregon late last summer, the spotted wing Drosophila has emerged as the most serious insect threat to high-value fruit and berry crops. It’s too late, experts say, to wipe it out.

Katy Coba, director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture, calls it the “Dracula” fruit fly. “It’s so new that we’re trying not to panic, but we’re very, very concerned,” she says.

With good reason. West Coast farmers produce 76 percent of the nation’s raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and cherries. California researchers estimate that a 20 percent damage rate would cost West Coast farmers $511 million in lost crop

Spotted winged Drosophila seen last week at the Oregon State University research lab in Corvallis. value, including $31.4 million in Oregon.

One peach grower in Marion County says damage to his latevariety peaches was nearly 100 percent, causing him to shut down his orchard 10 days early and costing him 20 to 30 percent of the revenue he normally expects.

Within weeks of confirming the fly’s presence in Benton County last summer, researchers determined it had spread to 14 other counties, from Jackson County in Southern Oregon, up the Willamette Valley to Portland and east up the Columbia

Gorge to Hood River, Wasco and Umatilla counties. It was found in blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, cherries, peaches, plums and grapes.

“You name the fruit, it will attack it — that’s the big problem,” says Helmuth Rogg, supervisor of the state’s pest management division.

Against that backdrop, a team of researchers and entomologists in Corvallis is pressing to understand and outwit the fruit fly.

It’s research in a rush, carried out in sophisticated flyrearing cabinets with light and temperature controls and outdoors with traps jury-rigged from plastic soda containers, a slosh of apple cider vinegar and sticky fly paper.

The team, drawn from Oregon State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is trying to determine how well spotted wing Drosophila survived the winter, predict when it will emerge this spring and learn about its food preference, reproduction rates and life cycles.

ALSEA — Benton County Sheriff’s deputies found 15 malnourished pit bulls with old scars or fresh wounds last week, providing a glimpse into dogfighting rings in the area.

“They were being prepared for organized dogfighting,” said Lt. Greg Ridler of the Benton County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities say dogfighting is fueled by drugs and gambling, and often leaves the dogs dead, maimed or too traumatized to be safely adopted.

The Corvallis Gazette Times reports deputies also found three dead dogs buried under trees in a 6-acre property in Alsea.

Police say one man was arrested in connection to dogfighting. Corvallis resident Cody Hufeld was arraigned Friday on 15 felony counts of dogfighting, and three felony counts of possessing dogfighting paraphernalia, including heavy collars used for strength training.

Hufeld also faces drug charges with two other people.

property suggests that the dogs were being transported elsewhere for the fighting.

“We’ll continue to investigate and see if others were involved, see where it leads,” Simpson said Thursday.

Scott Heiser, a former Benton County district attorney who is now a senior staff attorney for the Animal Legal Defense Fund, said dogfighting is present in every state, and can make dog handlers rich from gambling or stud fees.

“Dogs they don’t want anymore, they’ll shoot on the spot,” Heiser said.

The 15 dogs rescued are at the Heartland Humane Society in Corvallis. All the dogs are kept in separate cages to avoid sight of each other, and agitation. Shelter staff say the dogs are friendly to people, but get aggressive when they see other animals.

“Pit bull rescues are just overrun. There are so many pit bulls that need help. They can be really hard to find placements for,” said Brittany Gardner, shelter operations director. “We don’t know what’s going to happen with these guys.”

Elect Lundquist in Crook County

T

he choice between Lynn Lundquist and his opponents in the Republican primary for a seat on the Crook County Court comes down to experience.

He has much. They have little. That makes it simple.

If he is re-elected, this would be his second and, he says, likely last term on the Crook County Court. He does bring vast experience in government to the job. He was a state representative and majority leader of the Oregon House. He served on the Crook County Planning Commission. He was president of the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association and led the Oregon Business Association. He still serves on a number of state boards related to transportation, the Quality Education Commission, Special Olympics and more.

All that experience doesn’t matter if he hasn’t been effective on the Crook County Court. But he has been.

He helped the county retain services and cut its budget without having employees go to a four-day week.

He helped persuade the district’s two unions to accept cuts that bring their benefits more in line with benefits that other employees get. Lundquist also encouraged the county to hire a human resources director, who may now help avoid some of the lawsuits the county’s gotten into in the past.

Lundquist supported the county making the switch to a three-member board of commissioners system with a county administrator, in 2013.

He wants another term to ensure that happens. We also thought he was right to fight against the move to have the county help Breese Ranch LLC develop a subdivision, because other developers would expect similar treatment.

Lundquist’s opponents couldn’t come up with substantial reasons

Lundquist does bring vast experience in government to the job. He was a state representative and majority leader of the Oregon House.

He served on the Crook County Planning Commission. ... He still serves on a number of state boards. ...

All that experience doesn’t matter if he hasn’t been effective on the Crook County Court. But he has been. why voters should forgo Lundquist’s experience in government for their inexperience. Neither can we.

Lundquist’s primary opponents are Seth Crawford, a real estate agent, and Don Fox, a local businessman.

Crawford is very active in serving the community and has demonstrated leadership. Fox’s desire to run is born, in part, out of his involvement in the Tea Party movement.

Lundquist has been criticized for spending too much time on the other side of the Cascades on statewide boards or commissions. But that involvement and those connections can have local impact. “You have to think bigger than just where you live,” Lundquist says.

We hope Facebook’s coming to Crook County is the beginning of better times. Lundquist is best choice to help the county get there.

Merkley should drop ‘fair’ amendment W atching what politicians in Washington call “fair” can be a sorry spectacle. A case in point was an amendment by Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., in the Senate health care bill.

His amendment would have required what he called “fair competition” among construction firms. The amendment basically established that firms must offer health care coverage if they have five or more employees and a payroll of $250,000 or more.

Firms that did not would face fines of up to $750 per employee per year if the employees receive tax credits.

The threshold for other types of companies is 50 employees.

Julie Edwards, Merkley’s spokeswoman, explained that construction firms typically compete against similarly sized construction firms. So it wouldn’t be fair for some firms that

offer health insurance for employees to have to compete against others who don’t.

There is an element of fair there.

But why only construction firms? If Merkley believed there was an issue and that small construction firms should be compelled to provide insurance, why not other small firms as well?

It’s not fair to single out small construction firms. And it would make it harder for small businesses to compete with larger ones.

The good news for small construction companies is that the amendment dropped out of the health care bill because of the reconciliation process. It is possible, though, that Merkley will bring it up again in a separate bill or as an amendment to other legislation.

He should let it drop.

My Nickel’s Worth Problems with Bend’s UGB

High Desert needs jobs

Flawed editorials

It would help if The Bulletin’s editorial staff knew more about Bend’s urban growth boundary before it pens inflammatory remarks. As an appellant who knows the proposal well, I suspect that NorthWest Crossing residents (whom The Bulletin states may not like upzoning in their community) are even less likely to appreciate the urbanization of the Shevlin Sand and Gravel, Miller and Tumalo Creek Development properties.

The UGB expansion map proposed by the city adds 941 gross acres for needed housing and 132 for second homes. Of these 1,073 gross acres, 826 (77 percent) are on Bend’s west side, in close proximity to Shevlin Park and Skyliners Road.

The city uses a 31.5 percent “overhead” rate to account for rights-of-way and open space). Thus, of the 826 acres, 566 will contain homesites. The average residential density used by the city is six dwelling units per acre. That means that more than 3,300 new homes will be constructed on Bend’s west side — quite close to NorthWest Crossing. Add to that the city’s rules that prevent the widening of Newport or Galveston beyond two lanes.

The Bulletin should be promoting the inclusion of Buck Canyon, to the south of Bend, which has a better overall ability to economically accommodate growth. Further, bringing these southern lands into the UGB (as opposed to west-side lands) would help the city to provide sewer service to the more than 4,400 dwellings inside Bend’s existing UGB that remain on septic service. How clean do you want your groundwater?

Greg Lambert’s In My View on Economic Development for Central Oregon published March 5 should be cut out and attached, via a goofy magnet, to everyone’s refrigerator’s door.

Why? If we care about our communities’ future, there must be sufficient jobs created to financially pay for roads, police, schools, water and parks. Lambert explains, “Many of the challenges and opportunities surfaced by individual communities were common to the region and have been incorporated into the overall 2010-12 strategic plan for Central Oregon.”

The hard work for EDCO and us is to implement the detailed annual plans for each industry targeted to sink roots and grow in our High Desert.

We dedicate taxes and voluntary contributions to assist fellow citizens who are unemployed or underemployed, need training or depend on welfare. Generous as this is, as far as the “economic health” of our region goes, it is equivalent to patching up those in emergency rooms.

EDCO’s Roger Lee correctly says all of us need to dedicate the same commitment we have for this assistance to proactive economic development. This will move us to cure a “sick economy.” ER “patching up” is fine, but what is absolutely required is a regimen of “preventive care.” As other regions in America realize, the preventive care is created by infrastructure, education and a concentrated plan to attract and retain private-sector employers.

EDCO has created a “bill of health” for this to happen. Will we respond?

In your Feb. 26 editorial “Decision time for Oregon’s unions,” you cite the Pew Research Center’s poll that global warming is the lowest-ranked issue in its survey. Somehow, this snarky comment is contained in an editorial about the problems the public has with unions.

What you are implying is that somehow public opinion should always trump policymakers. In that case, why did you add a “Green” section to your paper? Are you merely trying to show everyone how much you are in tune with the newfangled fad? Are you that hypocritical?

Another issue you have editorially endorsed is the ridiculous Supreme Court decision allowing unlimited funds corporations can spend on political ads.

Well, 80 percent of Americans polled find this ruling abhorrent. Where is your phony populism on this issue?

If we take your editorial to mean that because something is unpopular with the public, then by all means we should scrap it, then why have a representative government? Make every decision a public referendum and see how effective that is.

There were several letters in The Bulletin regarding the unfairness of Measures 66 and 67 passing because of the “liberals” in Portland, while Central Oregon voted against it. Should we have laws only applying to what our locals think, so that as we go from town to town, no one would be able to figure out whether they are in conformity with the local laws?

Waldo Lake is big enough for different boats to share

By William J. Baer Bulletin guest columnist

I

am a native of Bend and a past president of the Bend chapter of the Oregon Hunters Association, 1963-64.

During that time, the association was asked to a meeting by the U.S. Forest Service, together with other outdoor associations regarding the overcrowding of our lakes. At that time, the accessible lakes were overcrowded and would only tend to increase as our population grew.

The U.S. Forest Service asked for everyone’s input as to how to disperse the population among the lakes.

Our answer: You’re not using all of the waterways due to the inaccessibility of some lakes. We named about four lakes; one in particular was Waldo Lake. At the time, the only way to access that lake was by a four-wheel vehicle. The Forest Service seized on this idea, and in approximately six years we had a paved

IN MY VIEW road to Waldo Lake, together with three nice campgrounds. The cost was in the millions; it now could serve most of the public and not just a small minority of four-wheelers.

Now, the State Marine Board and our governor want to go against the foresight of the Forest Service of 50 years ago and take Waldo Lake from the general public, and once again only serve a small minority of boat paddlers.

Waldo is snowed in for about six months of the year, and the boat paddlers use it only for about six weeks of the year. Is this worth taking the lake away from the fishermen, sail boaters, hunters and sightseers?

Also, Waldo is one of the most dangerous lakes in the Cascades. It is at the top of the Cascades, so the water is

Gov. Ted Kulongoski was a strong advocate for taking the motors off of Waldo Lake. Maybe our next governor will see the selfishness of a small minority of boat paddlers and give the lake back to the vast majority of the general public. very cold, and it is very windy. Wind is not good for paddle boaters but great for sailors. We do need big boats on this lake for safety, and that means motors.

Electric motors create a false security, and thus there could be drownings in the upcoming years. The ripples usually start up at about 11:30 a.m., and by 1 p.m. fishermen and canoes should head off the lake because of the winds.

Waldo Lake is not the second-largest natural lake in Oregon. Klamath, Malheur, Harney, Goose and Crater Lake are larger.

Paddle boats have the run of all wa-

terways in the state of Oregon. Motorized boats have more restrictions than paddle boats. They are not supposed to run on any lake that has no outlet. Also, they are restricted on some rivers that are too shallow and also for the safety of the kayakers.

I checked with a forester from Michigan and understood that they had tried the same thing on some of their lakes but found that they had to pencil out their campgrounds because of nonuse.

I spoke with a couple of Forest Service employees from the Willamette National Forest, and their feelings were

that it was wrong to take the motors off Waldo Lake.

I attended a State Marine Board meeting and understood that the man who testified was a forester who said the lake had been tested for clarity in both spring and fall. It was found that the lake was more sanitary and clean in the fall than in the spring. This was before taking the motors off of Waldo Lake.

Gov. Ted Kulongoski was a strong advocate for taking the motors off of Waldo Lake. Maybe our next governor will see the selfishness of a small minority of boat paddlers and give the lake back to the vast majority of the general public.

Remember and think about this: Any lake 7 miles long, 3 miles wide and 300 feet deep is big enough to share with everyone.

Disposal Continued from B1 At the peak of the building boom, Clean-Up Industries was generating revenues of up to $500,000 a year, Mahaney said, which would have had him paying $20,000 a year in franchise fees if he were paying at the same rate as the garbage companies. Business has dropped off with the decline of the construction industry, Mahaney said, and he’s now running the company as a oneman operation.

Mahaney said he met with representatives of the garbage companies to discuss his business around 2003 and was told they had no problems with Clean-Up Industries’ activities.

“They said business was good, basically, and I wasn’t a thorn in their side,” he said. “So they didn’t bother me at all.”

Cascade Disposal and an attorney with Cascade Disposal’s parent company, Waste Connections Inc., did not return calls for comment.

At Wednesday night’s City Council meeting, Assistant City Attorney Gary Firestone explained that the dispute largely boils down to who is putting the debris in Mahaney’s drop boxes.

When Mahaney or an employee of Clean-Up Industries collects the material and places it in the drop box, they are not in violation of the franchise agreements, Firestone said.

When a drop box is left at a construction site, filled by construction workers and carried away by Clean-Up Industries, the company is functioning as a garbage collection service, and it is in violation of the franchise agreements.

But when the drop boxes are filled both by Mahaney or his employees and the construction workers at the job site — which, Mahaney said, is often the case — the situation gets murky.

Firestone said city staff is of the opinion that “incidental use” of the Clean-Up Industries drop boxes by non-employees — such as on a windy day, when debris would scatter — is probably acceptable, but that it’s difficult to quantify exactly when such incidental use becomes a violation of the franchise agreements.

“I think the concern is, if we allow it to happen, there’s no controlling the scope of what’s going to happen,” he said.

At Wednesday’s council meeting, Councilor Oran Teater said allowing garbage collectors to operate outside the terms of the city’s franchise agreements could lead to “a bit of a slippery slope,” adding that it seems unfair to have smaller garbage collectors evading the city’s franchise fees.

Councilors took no action, and asked city staff to continue working with Mahaney and Cascade Disposal to attempt to find a resolution acceptable to both sides. If they can come to an agreement, the council could choose to write an exemption for Clean-Up Industries into the city’s franchise agreements.

Liz Carpenter, journalist, aide to Johnsons

By Enid Nemy New York Times News Service

Liz Carpenter, who spent much of her life working the corridors of power in Washington as a newspaper reporter, an aide to Lyndon B. Johnson when he was vice president and press secretary to Lady Bird Johnson during her years in the White House, died Saturday in Austin, Texas.

She was 89.

The cause of death was pneumonia, her daughter, Christy Carpenter, said in a telephone interview Saturday. She said her mother had been admitted to University Medical Center Brackenridge in Austin on Wednesday.

A dedicated feminist, Carpenter was a founder of the National Women’s Political Caucus and joint chairwoman of ERAmerica, an organization that unsuccessfully fought for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s.

Before joining the White House staff, she had covered Washington as a reporter for a news ser-

vice she founded with her husband, Les Carpenter.

Widely known for her caustic and sometimes bawdy wit, Carpenter was irreverent about herself and her access to power during the Johnson years in Washington. She was also one of the few White House staff members who had no qualms about giving as good as she got, no matter the source.

“Why don’t you use your head?”

Lyndon Johnson once bellowed at her. She bellowed back: “I’m too busy trying to use yours!”

Carpenter’s association with the Johnsons began in 1960, when Johnson, then the Senate majority leader, was running for vice president on the Democratic ticket headed by Sen. John F. Kennedy.

One of her tasks was to stage rallies in the South that were known as Flying Tea Parties.

“The name of the game,” Carpenter once recalled, “was to take those funny-talking Kennedy ladies from Massachusetts, with Lady Bird at the helm, and

“The name of the game was to take those funnytalking Kennedy ladies from Massachusetts, with Lady Bird (Johnson) at the helm, and hit Texas and other states in the Bible Belt and prove that Roman Catholics didn’t have horns and tails.”

— Liz Carpenter, on her work during the 1960 Kennedy/Johnson campaign hit Texas and other states in the Bible Belt and prove that Roman Catholics didn’t have horns and tails.”

After the election, Carpenter was named Johnson’s executive assistant. She was in the motorcade in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, when Kennedy was assassinated.

She wrote the brief speech Johnson delivered at the foot of Air Force One when he returned to Washington as the 36th president. (“This is a sad time for all people,” he said, adding, “I ask for your help — and God’s.”)

Carpenter spent the next five

years as Lady Bird Johnson’s press secretary. She coordinated news coverage of the White House weddings of both Johnson daughters, Lynda Bird and Luci Baines, and the first lady’s many trips, including a widely publicized raft trip down the Rio Grande in 1966. She wrote about her White House years in a 1970 book, “Ruffles and Flourishes.”

In 1971, out of the White House, Carpenter turned her energy to women’s causes, including the fight for an Equal Rights Amendment. Her efforts to establish the National Women’s Political Cau-

On Friday, the highs will stay around 48 to 54 degrees, with lows between 27 and 32 degrees, she said, with partly cloudy skies and a slight chance again for rain or snow.

Saturday should bring warmer daytime temperatures, with highs

between 56 and 62 degrees and lows between 28 and 33 degrees, as well as partly cloudy skies and a chance of rain or snow at night.

Continued from B1 It is a choice program, which means not all students at Bear Creek will be enrolled in the immersion classes.

The school will have a signup period to determine how much interest exists in the program. If necessary, after a sign-up deadline, there will be a lottery for the classroom spots. One lottery would be for English-dominant students, while another would be for those whose first language in the home is Spanish.

In previous interviews, Chief Academic Officer Bill Rhoades has said that about 80 percent of the day will be spent learning in Spanish, with about 20 percent in English.

Schools around Oregon already offer similar programs; districts in Woodburn, North Clackamas, Salem and Beaverton all offer bilingual immersion programs.

District officials pointed to a study by the Center for Research on Education, Diversity and Excellence. The national study, on English-language learners’ long-term academic achievement, shows students who have a bilingual education make and sustain more gains on English reading standardized tests than students in standard ESL classes.

And they’ve also pointed to research indicating immersion programs support English development because the two languages are similar in early literacy, including alphabets, phonetic sounds that letters make and the way languages read from left to right.

Although logistics are not yet finalized, Nordquist said she is hopeful families will be allowed to do area change requests if they live outside of the Bear Creek attendance area but want their students in the program.

Nordquist emphasized

cus grew out of a commitment to seeing more women elected to state and federal posts.

Earlier, Carpenter was a prime mover in the battle to permit women to join the National Press Club, which had been an important institution in Washington for reporters as well as politicians since its founding in 1908. Before being accepted as members, women with press credentials fought to be admitted at least to the club luncheons at which visiting heads of state customarily appeared.

“We made a great breakthrough in 1956,” Helen Thomas, a reporter who has covered Washington since World War II, once recalled. “Liz Carpenter got them to agree to let us sit in the balcony of the ballroom, in purdah, and listen to the luncheon speaker as we looked down on our press colleagues and the public relations men and the lobbyists as they ate.”

It was not until 1971 that women were admitted as members.

that families who commit to the program should be interested in participating for the entirety of their elementary years.

“It takes time. You’re not going to develop biliteracy in one year,” she said. “So we really ask parents to commit to the program (for six years).”

BEND’S FUEL CELL MAKER

IdaTech’s secret? hydrogen, oxygen and a membrane

By Andrew Moore The Bulletin

Hydrogen and oxygen are among the most abundant elements on Earth. Oxygen floats in the atmosphere, and hydrogen bonds with it to form water, which covers most of the planet.

Thanks to fuel cell technology, the two gases also can be used to create electricity.

Bend’s IdaTech is one of many companies across the globe that develops and builds fuel cells,

machines that at their most basic break apart hydrogen to generate power, with water and heat as the only byproducts.

The process isn’t new; it was first demonstrated by a Welsh scientist in 1839, according to the U.S. Fuel Cell Council. In the 1950s, NASA developed fuel cells to power satellites, and ever since, fuel cells have been used to power cars and light homes and businesses.

River, and the grounds are watered using an efficient irrigation system.

Old Mill officials have worked to make the district — home to about three dozen shops, restaurants and offices — more sustainable for several years, said Marketing Director Noelle Fredland.

“There’s a lot of things that we’re doing, and there’s a lot of things that we could be doing,” Fredland said of the onetime sawmill site, which Bendbased William Smith Properties began converting into its current incarnation a decade ago.

And this spring, a group of students from Oregon State University-Cas-

cades Campus is stepping in to help determine exactly how sustainable the Old Mill is — and how it could be even greener.

The students, part of instructor Matt Shinderman’s Sustainable Communities class, will assess economic, ecologic and social components of the Old Mill this spring, analyzing things like energy consumption, waste production and more.

“The Old Mill has been doing quite a bit that we would acknowledge as related to sustainability, but the idea is

GREEN

to get it much more focused and strategic,” Shinderman said, “so that as they move forward, they will have a prioritized list of things they can address.”

The students spent the winter term designing the assessment and determining how to quantify the sustainability of shops, offices, restaurants and residences in the Old Mill.

“Mostly what we’re trying to do is design a baseline assessment for the Old Mill, so they can determine where they sit,” said Ben Nadler, a student in the class who’s considering a sustainability degree, either at OSU or another school.

Husband’s young crush leaves wife feeling flat

Fairy tale stories resonate in ‘Boss’

By Bill Carter New York Times News Service

Dear Abby: My husband, “Roger” — 64 and retired — has a crush on a 25-year-old woman who lives in our small community and runs a dress shop I frequent. Roger is usually quiet and reserved, but when he sees “Patti,” he utters loud cries and runs to her side. He examines every detail of her clothing, makeup, etc., and takes her hand and compliments her on her soft skin, her ring or the color of her nail polish.

From the expression on her face and the looks she exchanges with the other women in the shop, it’s clear she considers him a pest.

I have spoken up and said, “Patti must have a grandfather your age,” or, “There’s no fool like an old fool,” but Roger ignores it. My concern is that he’s making a fool of himself in public and, by extension, me. I’m so embarrassed, I can no longer walk into my favorite dress shop.

Patti is popular. She has many dates and is not interested in Roger. I hate to be pitied by others. What can I do to stop this?

— Old Fool’s Wife in Alabama Dear Wife: Roger’s “crush” is a reflection on him, not you, so keep your cool and please stop calling him an old fool. It’s insulting and belittling, so of course he’ll tune you out. Try this instead, “Roger, when you act the way you do when you’re around Patti, it’s embarrassing to me. That’s why I prefer you no longer accompany me when I go there.”

Then, when you shop for clothing, go without him. And instruct Patti and the saleswomen that if Roger drops by without you to tell him he’s welcome — IF he’s buying something for you. That way, instead of a problem, you’ll have a windfall, and so will they. You can even leave a “wish list” with Patti in advance.

Dear Abby: I was recently

DEAR ABBY married, but we had to postpone our honeymoon for a couple of weeks due to weather and the loss of a sitter for my wife’s daughter. The day after our wedding, my bride, “Brenda,” informed me that we had a dinner date the following Monday with another married couple who are friends of hers. I gladly accepted, thinking it would be fun to go out and celebrate since our plans had fallen through.

The day before the dinner I was told that the husband (in the couple) had to work — so Brenda and his wife would go out to dinner and, if it was OK with me, I would stay home and baby-sit my new stepdaughter.

I felt I had no say in the matter, and to keep things positive in this brand-new marriage, I agreed.

I have no problem with Brenda going out alone with her friend, but I did feel slighted.

Shouldn’t the dinner have been postponed until a time when we were all available? Or should I have accepted this “girls’ night out” with more grace?

— Honeymoon-deprived in Knoxville Dear Honeymoon-deprived: It depends upon how “graceless” your reaction was. While I don’t blame you for feeling slighted, the dinner could have been rescheduled for when the husband was available, or you could have been included. I hope you told your wife how it made you feel because it may make her more sensitive to your feelings in the future.

The biggest new hit on television is a reality show that did not get a head start in the summer, that remained dormant for half the television season, that seemed to have little chance to appeal to younger viewers, and that had to face formidable competition not only from “Desperate Housewives” on ABC, but also from three straight weeks of the Winter Olympics on NBC. But the evidence is irrefutable: “Undercover Boss” on CBS is — so far at least — the breakout hit of the year, with the largest audience, the strongest appeal to younger viewers and the best performance against the toughest competition.

The show, which documents what happens when a chief executive works incognito with low-level employees, opened as the follow-up act to the Super Bowl and pulled in 38 million viewers, the biggest audience for a post-game series since Nielsen introduced the people meter ratings system in 1987.

In the weeks since, “Undercover Boss” has beaten “Desperate Housewives” every time and came within a hair of topping the Olympics closing ceremonies. It is the first instant reality hit introduced during the regular television season since 2004’s “Apprentice,” which is going strong with a new celebrity edition that has become the competition for “Undercover Boss” on NBC — and that seemed to have held “Boss” down a bit in its first face-off Sunday night.

Perhaps most startlingly, “Undercover Boss” has been attracting bigger numbers with young adult viewers than existing hits like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “House.”

And it’s on CBS, the network that usually steers the conversation away from the youngviewer ratings that the other networks emphasize. With “Undercover Boss,” CBS is brag-

ging about those numbers. The first thing that Kelly Kahl, the network’s top program scheduler, mentions about the show is how well it has done in the “young demos.”

As Kahl put it: “I can’t remember an audience profile like this.

It has over a 3 rating with men between 18 and 34. When have you seen that on CBS?”

Origins So how did it happen?

Like other reality hits, including “American Idol” and “Dancing With the Stars,” it happened because the producer of a British reality show — in this case Stephen Lambert (“Wife Swap”) — walked into a network office with what’s known as a “sizzle reel.”

“It was just three or four minutes,” said Nina Tassler, the president of CBS Entertainment. The clip was from a British version that had not yet been shown.

“In the clip, this young guy was talking about how his management was now going to finance his education,” she said, referring to a boss’ offer to help the employee after working alongside him. “And it moved me — it genuinely moved me,” she said.

Tassler liked the way the boss worked among his employees, learning how the lower rung lived. “I’ve waited tables in my life,” she said. “We’ve all worn different shoes.”

Tassler reached out to Jennifer Bresnan, CBS’s executive in charge of reality programming, who happened to be on location, supervising an edition of “Survivor.”

“I’m in a metal box in the middle of nowhere in Brazil,” Bresnan recalled. “The power keeps going out, and the Internet keeps crashing. But I was finally able to see it. And my first reaction was: I get it.”

What CBS got, and what

viewers are clearly getting, is a carefully constructed weekly yarn, not unlike “The Prince and the Pauper” — minus the Twain wit. The mighty step down in station and learn a lot.

Bresnan said the show was a success because “it works both sides.” The boss gets a taste of the working life, often to his or her embarrassment. (Each show finds the boss struggling with some task the employees do routinely.)

And the employees, after an initial shock realizing that that was the big boss they had been trying to teach how to load the bun packager, usually get a heartfelt salute for their honest, unstinting service.

That big reveal has proved so potent that “Undercover Boss” has posted huge ratings bumps during its second half-hour. “I don’t care who you are,” Kahl said, “everybody likes to get a pat on the back.”

‘Self-contained stories’ That ultimate pat is an essential part of the story line for “Undercover Boss,” which so far has taken on managers from companies like 7-Eleven, Hooters and Waste Management.

The show’s form breaks new ground in the reality genre: not a competition, no elimination; instead, “self-contained stories,” as Bresnan put it.

“Even though there’s a surprise reveal,” Tassler said, “there is no gotcha moment; no one is being humiliated or ridiculed.”

Just the opposite. The fairy tale is meticulously shaped — and heavily dependent on casting.

Bosses are chosen for the quality of their personal journeys and also for how many of their em-

ployees have worthy tales.

Some chief executives have been turned down, Tassler said, because they themselves did not have “the potential for a transformational journey” or not enough of their employees did. “You want to make sure there’s a great story there, because at the end of the day it’s still an entertainment program,” she said.

Of course that raises the question of how the producers get the spontaneous cooperation they need. CBS is keeping the production techniques quiet, especially now that the show is a hit, because it will take some doing to keep fooling employees that the new guy is just some out-of-work Joe that a camera crew wants to follow around.

But it’s not as if CBS were deliberately trying to stay under the radar. You don’t start a show after the Super Bowl if you don’t want it noticed. And the spotlight grew wider when Oprah Winfrey featured “Boss” on her show the week before the premiere.

“Having it on Oprah was an out-of-body experience,” Bresnan said. “When I got back, Nina asked me how it went, and I honestly told her I had no idea. I was levitating the entire time.”

PINE THEATER REDMOND CINEMAS 1535 S.W. Odem Medo Road, Redmond 541-548-8777

The Associated Press CASSELBERRY, Fla. — Actresses Demi Moore and Nia Vardalos were linked to an online chain of Twitter posts that ultimately led to Florida authorities intervening Friday when an 18-year-old man threatened to commit suicide.

Moore’s Twitter account, mrs kutcher, was among those responding to a message from a young man threatening to hang himself in his front yard in Casselberry, north of Orlando.

Moore — with more than 2.5 million followers — and husband Ashton Kutcher are both active on the social network.

Vardalos’ eponymous account included a message that she had called a suicide hotline and been connected to Florida police. “I gave his name+city. They went to home, helped him,” one message read.

The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said authorities received two calls around 2:30 a.m., one from California and one from Vancouver, British Columbia.

Both callers reported the suicide threat on Twitter. There was no record of the callers’ names, Lt. Sonia Pisano said.

Deputies went to a home and took the man to a hospital, Pisano said.

The teen’s mother told the deputy responding that her son “was very emotional and diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder,” according to a report released Friday by the sheriff’s office. Her son was sitting at his computer desk crying when he told the officer he “did not know what to do with himself without help” and admitted to posting the tweet.

The man was then placed in protective custody.

A phone message left by The Associated Press at the home was not immediately returned.

Calls to representatives for Moore and for Vardalos, who starred in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” went unanswered early Friday.

Moore’s Twitter account was involved in a similar case last April, when a California woman messaged that she was going to kill herself. San Jose police said they took a woman to a hospital for “psychiatric evaluation” after someone called about a tweet sent to Moore threatening suicide.

Actress Tang Wei emerges from shadows of China’s ban

By Min Lee The Associated Press

HONG KONG — Chinese actress Tang Wei returned to the red carpet on Sunday, promoting her first movie since the 2007 Ang Lee spy thriller “Lust, Caution,” a politically sensitive production that reportedly prompted officials to ban her in her home country.

Lee catapulted the then-unknown Tang to stardom by casting her as a student activist who seduces a Japanese-allied Chinese intelligence chief in World War II-era Shanghai to pave way for his assassination, only to fall in love with the traitor.

With many Chinese still incensed by Japanese atrocities during the war, government censors asked Lee to edit the film to

be more politically acceptable.

But even though the edited version was cleared for release, Chinese officials still wanted to punish Tang, ordering TV stations to pull ads featuring the actress and to stop covering her, according Tang Wei to news reports.

The actress did not act again until “Crossing Hennessy,” a Hong Kong-set romance that held its world premiere on Sunday, kicking off the 34th Hong Kong International Film Festival. The Ivy Ho movie has been cleared for release in China.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, March 22, 2010: This year, some unanticipated changes could blow through your life. If the status quo isn’t working, you might discover that events will force your hand.

lar free fall as long as we’re not breaking the speed of sound. But as soon as it goes from subsonic to transonic to supersonic, we don’t know what to expect.”

Continued from C1 At least, that’s the plan, although no one really knows what the shock wave will do to his body as it exceeds the speed of sound.

The jump, expected sometime this year, would break one of the most venerable aerospace records. For half a century, no one has surpassed (one person died trying) the altitude record set by Joe Kittinger as part of an Air Force program called Project Excelsior.

In 1960, Kittinger, then a 32year-old Air Force pilot, jumped from a balloon 102,800 feet above the New Mexico desert. Today, at 81, Kittinger is a retired colonel and part of the Red Bull Stratos team working on Baumgartner’s jump, which is being financed by the energy-drink company.

Unknowns

Lessons from the past More than three dozen veterans of NASA, the Air Force and the aerospace industry have been working for three years to plan the jump, build a balloon and pressurized capsule, and customize an astronaut’s suit for Baumgartner.

Besides aiming at records, they’re doing physiological research and developing procedures for future astronauts to survive a loss of cabin pressure or an emergency bailout in the stratosphere.

One of the chief concerns has been to avoid the problem that almost killed Kittinger during Project Excelsior. He was supposed to be stabilized during his fall by a small drogue parachute, but on one training jump in 1959 it did not open because the cord got tangled around his neck.

As a result, Kittinger’s body went into a spin that reached 120 revolutions per minute as he plummeted more than 60,000 feet.

He blacked out and regained consciousness only after his reserve parachute opened automatically about a mile above the ground.

When he came to, he later wrote, he first assumed he must have died, but then he spotted the parachute’s canopy above him and made a sudden realization: “I am impossibly, wonderfully alive.”

Baumgartner hopes to remain stable and conscious throughout his longer fall without relying on a drogue parachute. He plans to avoid spinning by adjusting the angle of his body and keeping his

IdaTech Continued from C1 Today, IdaTech, which employs 92 people, mostly at its headquarters in Bend and a factory in Mexico, manufactures fuel cell systems marketed specifically for use as backup power generators for cell towers and other telecommunications sites.

One of the company’s fuel cells even helped light the Olympic rings recently on display in the Vancouver, B.C., harbor.

Fuel cells generally have few emissions and are among the cleanest and most efficient forms of energy generation available, said James Kerr, IdaTech’s product marketing manager.

“It’s an electrochemical process instead of a chemical process such as combustion, so it’s more efficient and (gets) more electricity for the amount of fuel being used,” Kerr said. “And it reduces the amount of emissions, so for direct hydrogen (fuel cell) systems, there are zero emissions, with only water vapor and heat as byproducts.”

How fuel cells work There are a variety of fuel cell technologies that differ slightly based on the fuel cell’s makeup, but the process is similar.

Imagine an upright sandwich, with two slices of bread and a slice of bologna in the middle.

The left slice of bread is the anode, through which flows hydrogen. The right slice of bread is the cathode, through which flows oxygen.

Both are covered with a platinum coating that acts as a catalyst, breaking the gases’ atoms into electrons and protons.

As the hydrogen passes through the anode, the hydrogen atoms are stripped of their electrons by the catalyst.

The bologna in the middle, called the electrolyte, is essentially a membrane that allows the protons from the hydrogen atoms to pass through but keeps out the separated hydrogen electrons.

IdaTech’s fuel cells use a proton exchange membrane, also called PEM. Fuel cell technology is generally differentiated by the material used for the membrane.

The stripped hydrogen electrons, unable to pass through the membrane, are pulled across a wire that runs between the anode and the cathode, creating an

Felix Baumgartner puts his pressurized suit to the test in a wind tunnel in Perris, Calif. Prior to the test, it was unclear if he would be able to perform critical midair maneuvers in such a bulky suit. arms at his side.

This stabilizing technique would ordinarily be fairly easy for an expert like Baumgartner, 41, a former paratrooper in the Austrian Special Forces and a veteran of more than 2,500 jumps from planes, cliffs and assorted landmarks. But to survive the stratosphere’s near vacuum and frigid temperatures, he will need a sealed helmet and a pressurized suit.

Would he be able to do midair maneuvers in such a bulky contraption? To find out, Baumgartner and his team recently went to a wind tunnel in Perris, Calif., south of Los Angeles, and put the suit through its paces.

By the time the suit was inflated to its full pressure of 3 pounds per square inch, he looked like a

electric current.

The electrons are drawn across the wire by the potential difference between the hydrogen at the anode and the oxygen at the cathode, explained Kathy Schwiebert, the company’s fuel cell development manager.

Electric current flows from areas of high potential to low potential, like water flows from high places to low places, she said.

As the hydrogen electrons travel over the wire, they lose some of their energy, in the form of heat. But ultimately, the hydrogen electrons reach the cathode, reunite with their protons and join with the oxygen protons and electrons to form water.

Power in numbers A lone fuel cell produces little electricity, so numerous fuel cells are often stacked together to increase the power output.

IdaTech currently manufactures three models, with outputs of 5 kilowatts, 3 kilowatts and 250 watts, respectively.

For the 5 and 3 kilowatt ElectraGen models, the units can be ordered with two different fuel systems.

The direct hydrogen system is fueled by hydrogen gas that is stored in the unit.

The liquid fuel system features a two-step system that first converts a hydrocarbon-based fuel into hydrogen gas, which is then used to fuel the fuel cell.

The direct hydrogen system is cleaner but doesn’t run as long, Kerr said.

As an example, the 5 kilowatt direct hydrogen fuel cell can run for roughly 10 hours before it runs out of hydrogen, whereas a liquid fuel system can run for 50 hours before it needs to be refueled.

The 250 watt iGen system is

robotic version of the Incredible Hulk. As he walked stiffly into the wind tunnel, it was easy to see why astronauts lack a certain grace.

But once Baumgartner was inside, held aloft by air blowing upward at 130 miles per hour, he looked comfortable enough, much to the relief of the engineers. By adjusting his arms and legs, he could shoot up in the tunnel or bring himself down. Most important, with his body angled at 45 degrees to the ground, he could maintain the desired arrowlike stance: head first, arms and legs pointing backward in a V shape called the delta position.

“It was difficult, but it worked,” Baumgartner said after emerging from the tunnel. “Now I’m confident I can handle the suit in regu-

available in liquid fuel only.

Telecommunications targeted Fuel cells have shown up in a variety of applications, from powering vehicles to providing grid power, a la Bloom Energy, a California company that recently appeared on “60 Minutes” touting what it envisions will be low-cost fuel cells to help power homes and businesses.

IdaTech, however, has primarily set its sights on one target, telecommunications systems.

According to Kerr, there are more than 2 million cell towers in the world that require a backup power source should they lose electricity.

Kerr said telecommunications providers by and large use diesel generators for backup power, but government subsidies as well as falling prices for fuel cell systems make IdaTech competitive.

“Companies are paying more attention because it becomes a more realistic value proposition for them,” Kerr said. “They will have something more reliable, quieter, better for the environment and with lower maintenance and life cycle costs.”

IdaTech has sold its fuel cell units to telecommunications companies in the U.S., Europe and Asia.

Ruth Cox, executive director of U.S. Fuel Cell Council, said IdaTech has found a potentially lucrative niche.

“They are one of the more successful fuel cell companies for a number of reasons, one being they’ve found a market where their solution is unique ... and second, they have worked very hard to lower the cost. Lots of fuel cells might only be costcompetitive if they have a tax credit with them, but (IdaTech) has worked really hard to make its products cost-competitive on their own.”

The publicly held company, whose shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange but is majority-owned by Investec, a South African holding company, increased revenues in 2009 to $6.6 million from $5.9 million in 2008, primarily due to a fivefold increase in sales volume, according to a preliminary earnings report released last week.

However, IdaTech lost $33.5 million in 2009, compared with a loss of $21.9 million in 2008,

Plenty of planes have broken the sound barrier, but transonic humans are a mystery, said Art Thompson, the technical project director for the Red Bull Stratos mission, and a former Northrop engineer who worked on the B-2 stealth bomber.

“You can run a lot of models, but with the human body you’re not dealing with a hard surface or a ballistic shape,” Thompson said.

“You’ve got this rounded bulbous helmet, and the shoulders and the feet sticking out, and everything starts to happen at different times.

Parts of your body may be going supersonic while others aren’t, causing flutter waves pulling back and forth among the surfaces.”

Could such waves harm the body? Could they create disastrous turbulence?

“We just don’t know what will happen to Felix and the suit when he goes supersonic,” said another Stratos engineer, Mike Todd, who worked on high-altitude suits for the Air Force’s spy-plane pilots with the renowned Skunk Works research division of Lockheed.

“Felix could slip right through it, but if half the suit’s supersonic and the other half isn’t, there could be turbulence that knocks him out of control.”

Such risks are one reason why Kittinger’s record has stood for half a century. Air Force and NASA officials have become understandably reluctant to explain potential mishaps to congressional committees.

But private adventurers have more freedom to take their own risks. The Stratos medical director, Dr. Jonathan Clark, who formerly oversaw the health of space shuttle crews at NASA, says that the spirit of this project reminds him of stories from the first days of the space age.

“This is really risky stuff, putting someone up there in that extreme environment and breaking the sound barrier,” Clark said.

“It’s going to be a major technical feat. It’s like early NASA, this heady feeling that we don’t know what we’re up against but we’re going to do everything we can to overcome it.”

according to the report. The company blamed the loss on accelerated writedowns related to its decision to cancel production of its iGen model as well as the loss of $2.5 million in Oregon tax credits.

IdaTech has been among a number of companies in the state to benefit from the state’s Business Energy Tax Credit program, though the state is currently reviewing many of the credits awarded to companies in the region, including IdaTech.

The company expects to be profitable in 2010, according to a statement in its preliminary earnings report from CEO Hal Koyama.

Cox, with the U.S. Fuel Cell Council, agreed.

“I expect IdaTech to grow rapidly in the next 10 years,” she said. “IdaTech has a mature product that’s commercially deployable and in a niche market where their value proposition is compelling, and I think if they keep driving at that, it’s what will make IdaTech successful.”

Old Mill Continued from C1 OSU-Cascades is slated to have a sustainability degree in fall 2011, and this is the second year for the Sustainable Communities course — offered only at the Cascades campus, Shinderman said.

The students will look at things like how much businesses recycle and how much food is being wasted, composted or thrown away, Nadler said. They’ll look at how many kilowatt-hours the buildings use, whether any of that electricity is from renewable sources, and what solar or wind possibilities the Old Mill could try in the future, he said. The students could make recommendations to the Old Mill, and then the businesses could choose whether to act on them.

The Old Mill also could examine transportation, Nadler said — perhaps figuring out how to encourage people to walk from store to store, instead of driving and reparking.

The idea, Nadler said, is to “make them stand out as a leader in the community — so it’s not just a place that people spend money at, it’s also doing good for the community.”

The assessment is just one part of the OSU course, which also includes guest lecturers talking about green building, renewable energy, economics and natural resource management, Shinderman said.

But the study of the Old Mill is designed not only to look at the environmental issues of a place — like using environmentally friendly ma-

terials — but also to examine the economics of the area, like how businesses might be able to save money by reducing their waste or electricity.

Social aspects also will play into the study, Shinderman said, with students considering how the business owners and residents could feel like they’re part of a community. Visitors could play a role in that as well, he said, and the students could investigate whether people get a sense of a community when they visit.

The Old Mill District has already been working on environmentally friendly and sustainable projects, Fredland said. It incorporated some historic buildings into the development, including the sawmill’s old powerhouse building that is now home to REI, and an old red shed that was converted into DeWilde Art & Glass.

But many of the efforts have been the “low-hanging fruit,” she said, so she was thrilled to have the sustainability students get involved and bring fresh eyes to see what the Old Mill could consider in the future.

“It’s great to be able to work with a university to see what they come up with,” Fredland said.

AUTO RACING Autocross club sets season’s first meeting in Bend The Autocross Club of Central Oregon has scheduled its first membership meeting of the 2010 racing season for this week in Bend. The meeting will take place Wednesday starting at 6 p.m. at Pappy’s Pizzeria, 20265 Meyer Drive.

Auto enthusiasts interested in joining the club or learning more about autocross and the club’s activities are invited to attend.

Autocross is a driving skills competition that tests both a driver’s ability and a car’s handling characteristics. An autocross course is set up using traffic cones in a large open area. Typical course speeds are no greater than legal highway driving limits.

The competition consists of a series of timed runs, one car at a time.

At Wednesday’s meeting, the ACCO will be planning for the season’s first event, to be held April 24-25 at Hoodoo Mountain Resort. The April 24 gathering will be a practice “test and tune” session; 2010 competition event No. 1 will take place April 25.

Other competition weekends — all at Hoodoo — are scheduled for May 22-23, June 26-27, July 17-18, Aug. 28-29, and Sept. 11-12.

The ACCO is seeking volunteers for club officer positions, as well as helpers for various club activities.

U.S. ALPINE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Bend’s Ford claims U.S. title

Tommy Ford, of Bend, reacts after winning the men’s slalom ski race after his second run at the U.S. Alpine Championships in Wilmington, N.Y., Sunday.

Second slalom run propels skier at alpine championships From staff and wire reports WILMINGTON, N.Y. — Tommy Ford, a 2010 Olympian from Bend, captured his first U.S. title Sunday by winning the slalom at the U.S. Alpine Championships at Whiteface Mountain.

Ford actually won two titles as he also won the combined event, which totaled Saturday’s superG and Sunday’s slalom.

On Sunday — the day after his 21st birthday — Ford came out of sixth place after the first run and blasted through the second course with the fastest time.

Charles Krupa / The Associated Press

“My strategy today was to just go for it full pin,” said Ford, a student at Dartmouth College. “I’ve really improved but the conditions also favored me. I’m used to running in ruts. It reminds me of home.”

Ford posted two runs totaling 2 minutes, 2.17 seconds. He took the second run by 1.14 seconds.

“I’m turning it on at the end of the year,” Ford said. “But at this time of the year, I can’t take as many runs. My legs feel it.”

The winner was helped by first-run leader Patrick Biggs, who slid off course during the final leg.

The best of the West J3 Junior Olympics draws top young alpine skiers from around the region

MOUNT BACHELOR — They’re young, but man, they can ski.

J3 (junior level 3) alpine skiers, ages 13 and 14, are living the years when change is constant. And for these skiers, the hope is that their speed changes — from fast to faster.

“It’s pretty impressive these days what little 13-year-olds are capable of on a pair of skis,” Luke Patterson, of Truckee, Calif., and a Far West division coach said Sunday as he rode the Pine Marten chairlift to the top of the race course on Mt. Bachelor ski area’s Thunderbird run. “It’s really fun

to see the level of competition all the way through the field.”

Many of the participants who were competing Friday through Sunday in the J3 Western Regional Junior Olympics said they work all year to qualify for the event.

“It’s a lot of people’s goal just to make it here. And then, hopefully, do well,” noted Lindsay Ahmann, 13, of Marysville, Wash., representing the Pacific Northwest Ski Association division.

“You try to get here and then once you are here, it’s all out,” said Kyla Miller, 13, of Lake Stevens, Wash., representing PNSA. “There is nothing to lose once

you’re here because you’re already one of the best of the West.”

During the three days of competition at Bachelor, the 166 skiers were representing their regions rather than their local teams.

Five divisions from throughout the Western United States were represented at the J3 Junior Olympics. The divisions include Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington and northern Idaho), Intermountain (Utah, Idaho and southern Wyoming), Alaska, Northern (Montana and northern Wyoming), and Far West (California and Nevada).

It has been a long year for Solomon Helms.

A three-sport athlete at Mountain View High, Helms started the football season in August and helped the Cougars advance to state quarterfinals. He then jumped right into basketball season. And with Mountain View enjoying its most successful basketball season in school history — the Cougars lost in the Class 5A state final on March 13 — Helms did not exactly have a lot of time to rest before the new track season.

“He’s had the longest year of any of our athletes,” Mountain View track coach Dave Hood says about Helms, who last spring as a junior took fourth in the 110-meter hurdles at the 5A state meet. “But he’s motivated and wants to come back and win a (district) title in the hurdles.”

Helms is just one of several multisport ath-

letes who look to lead Mountain View during the 2010 boys track and field season. Fellow senior Kenny Bent, a starter on the Cougars’ state runner-up basketball team, is Mountain View’s top returning jumper, while junior Chase Nachtmann, another three-sport athlete, is expected to lead the track team’s distance runners.

“We’re proud of having multisport athletes,” says Hood, who is also the athletic director at Mountain View. “We believe, as an athletic program, we’re better when kids are (participating in) two and three sports.”

Bent, who placed fifth in the high jump at the 2009 state meet, has the potential to qualify for state in three events: high jump, long jump and triple jump. Last Tuesday, after just one day of track practice, Bent won both the high jump and the long jump at the Cougars’ season-opening competition, the Mountain View Icebreaker.

Oilers rout Sharks with 5-1 victory Th e Associated Press EDMONTON, Alberta — Devan Dubnyk and the lowly Edmonton Oilers had a night to remember against the reeling San Jose Sharks.

Dubnyk made 27 saves for his second straight victory, and Dustin Penner and Shawn Horcoff each had a goal and an assist in the Oilers’ 5-1 win Sunday night.

Robert Nilsson, Fernando Pisani and Aaron Johnson also scored for Edmonton.

Ryane Clowe spoiled Dubnyk’s shutout bid, scoring with 3:02 left.

“When it was 5-0, the thought started to creep in,” Dubnyk said.

“Just a little bit. I didn’t get too excited about it. Maybe if I had 20 wins, I might have been a little more desperate to get my first shutout. I was just happy to get another win.”

San Jose, coming off losses at Vancouver and Calgary, is 0-5-1 in its last six.

“The frustration level is growing as the days go on,” Sharks coach

NHL ROUNDUP Todd McLellan said. “We didn’t really show a lot of emotion in the game until the end of it when it didn’t really matter. I’m tired of hearing in our locker room and around the team that adversity is good for us and will pay off in the end.

The Sharks have dropped a point behind Chicago and Phoenix in the race for the top spot in the Western Conference.

The Oilers put the game away with 7 minutes left in the third when Ethan Moreau made a great pass through the crease to Horcoff at the other post to make it 4-0.

Edmonton made it a five-goal rout with 5 minutes left when Johnson scored on a shot from the point while the teams were playing four-aside.

Suns end Blazers’ win streak Jared Dudley scores 10 points in the fourth quarter as Phoenix pulls away The Associated Press PHOENIX — Anytime the NBA’s leading field-goal shooting team can win a game while hitting less than 40 percent, it knows it has accomplished something good.

The Phoenix Suns had that feeling Sunday night, after beating the Portland Trail Blazers 93-87 despite shooting only 38.8 percent from the floor.

“Even though we were not shooting the ball well until the fourth quarter, we got the job done,” said Jared Dudley, who scored all 10 of his points in the final period.

“It wasn’t pretty, but we got the win,” Jason Richardson said.

“It was exactly how I thought it would be,” Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. “A real grind-it-out game.”

Both teams played airtight defense, as reflected in the shooting percentages. Portland was even worse than Phoenix, hitting only 38.4 percent of its shots.

Richardson scored 16 points, “They went zone and we and Grant Hill finished with 12 didn’t attack that,” Portland

coach Nate McMillan said. “We were shooting jump shots from the perimeter. As long as you are taking shots from there, they’re going to stay in and pack it in, which they did.”

Miller said the Suns did the right thing by switching to a zone.

“They had to do something because we were controlling the game,” he said. “Their zone kind of slowed us down. We let it affect us ...”

“We’re a better defensive team than people give us credit for,” Stoudemire said. “We try to improve on that every night.”

Nash felt the Trail Blazers’ style of play made it an uninteresting game.

“They did a good job of mucking the game up and making it a grind, which isn’t necessary the way we want to play,” Nash said.

“But we did a good job of competing, finding a way to get baskets and stops, especially down the stretch.”

NBA ROUNDUP

NBA SCOREBOARD

Hawks beat Spurs in OT to clinch a playoff berth The Associated Press ATLANTA — The Atlanta Hawks didn’t celebrate clinching their third straight playoff berth.

The Hawks showed against the San Antonio Spurs that they have reason to aim for bigger goals than simply qualifying for the postseason.

Marvin Williams scored 26 points to lead three scorers with 20 or more points and the Hawks beat San Antonio 119114 in overtime on Sunday night for their first win over the Spurs in five years.

Joe Johnson said making the playoffs “was one of our goals, but it’s not our main goal. We still have a lot of work ahead of us.”

Many Atlanta players didn’t know the win clinched a playoff berth or ended a seven-game losing streak in their series against the Spurs.

“That doesn’t matter to us,” Johnson said of the team’s long history of futility against the Spurs. “It doesn’t matter to me.

We’re just trying to get wins, and I don’t care who they come against.”

Manu Ginobili, who matched his season high with 38 points for San Antonio, called the loss “heartbreaking.”

Johnson’s jumper with 1:21 remaining in overtime gave Atlanta a 113-111 lead. After a missed three-pointer by San Antonio’s Matt Bonner, Al Horford hit a jumper as the shot clock expired to push the lead to four points with 35 seconds remaining.

“Great game. Tough loss,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.

Horford, who had six points in overtime, had 22 points and 18 rebounds. Johnson had 20

Jamal Crawford, who had 19 points, had good reason to cherish the win. The ninth-year veteran in his first season with Atlanta is going to the playoffs for the first time.

“It’s unbelievable,” Crawford said. “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. ... It feels good to officially get it.”

Tim Duncan had 29 points and 13 rebounds for San Antonio.

The Hawks scored 21 points off 13 turnovers by the Spurs.

“I feel we gave this one away,” Duncan said. “With the stretch that we have, we can’t give any away.”

A tip-in by Horford tied the game at 105-all with 52 seconds remaining in regulation. After a miss by Ginobili, Johnson missed two shots on

the Hawks’ final possession of regulation.

The Hawks, who trailed by 14 in the first half, matched their biggest comeback of the season.

Atlanta kept the lead most of the third period and second half but the Spurs stayed close.

Furyk ends long drought by winning Transitions Ljubicic beats Roddick

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Jim Furyk showed the nerves of a player trying to win for the first time on the PGA Tour. Considering how long it had been since his last victory, it felt that way.

Furyk closed with a 2-under 69 on Sunday for a one-shot victory over K.J. Choi in the Transitions Championship, his first victory since the 2007 Canadian Open to end his longest winless stretch since he first joined the tour 16 years ago.

He did just enough right on the back nine of Innisbrook that he could afford a few mistakes down the stretch, and he nearly made a whopper.

With a two-shot lead on the 18th hole of the Copperhead course, Furyk drove into the trees, nearly took out NBC reporter Roger Maltbie with his next shot and needed a good lag from 30 feet to secure a bogey.

Furyk finished at 13-under 271 and won for the 14th time in his career, moving to No. 6 in the world.

“I have a habit of making it tough

on myself,” Furyk said. “Just nerves got me, to be honest with you.”

Choi, who started three shots out of the lead, was tied with Furyk through seven holes until a two-shot swing on the par-3 eighth. Choi never got any closer until the final hole.

He closed with a 4-under 67, but his runner-up finish should be enough to move him to No. 47 in the world and give him a good chance to get into the Masters.

Watson played without a bogey until the par-3 15th, when he came up short of the green, chipped over the green and dropped a crucial shot.

He made pars the rest of the way for a 68, finishing alone in third.

Nick Watney had a 67 and was fourth, while defending champion Retief Goosen was another shot back after a 71.

Furyk had gone 58 starts on the PGA Tour without winning. He did capture the Chevron World Challenge in December at Sherwood against a world-class field of 18 players, which counted toward the world ranking.

He never lost the lead, although Furyk had to endure some sharp changes in momentum. He followed a 35-foot birdie putt on the 12th with a three-putt on the 13th, and followed another birdie with another three-putt bogey.

Furyk failed to hit his last three greens in regulation, putting from 80 feet off the green on the 16th to within a foot to save par, and hitting a tough bunker shot from sand packed by morning rain to 7 feet and making the par putt on the 17th.

That figured to be the hard part until Furyk’s adventures on the 18th.

But he made his bogey, and he won his trophy.

Also on Sunday: Davies wins Hassan II Trophy RABAT, Morocco — Wales’ Rhys Davies won the Hassan II Trophy for his first PGA European Tour title, shooting a 7-under 66 for a twostroke victory over South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam. The 24-year-old Davies finished at 25-under 266 in the proam event.

to win Indian Wells title The Associated Press

Chris O’Meara / The Associated Press

Jim Furyk chips out of the sand trap on the 17th hole during the final round of the Transitions Championship golf tournament Sunday, at Innisbrook in Palm Harbor, Fla. Furyk won the tournament.

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Ivan Ljubicic of Croatia outlasted Andy Roddick 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5) Sunday in a battle of big servers to win the BNP Paribas Open, earning his first ATP Masters 1000 title after three runner-up finishes.

Ljubicic set up his fourth match point with the last of his 20 aces, then won with a serve that Roddick couldn’t return. At 31, Ljubicic is the second-oldest winner at Indian Wells behind Jimmy Connors, who was five months older as the 1984 champion.

Roddick was trying to become the first American man to win at Indian Wells since 2001, but he trailed in both tiebreakers. He had beaten Ljubicic seven times in 10 meetings, winning their last match at Indian Wells in two tiebreakers in 2007.

Jelena Jankovic had a much easier time in the women’s final, defeating Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 6-4 for her first title in seven months.

Ranked 26th in the world, Ljubicic will rise to around 13th in today’s ATP Tour rankings, returning to the top 20 for the first time in more than two years.

There were no service breaks in the 2-hour final.

Roddick served three love games in the second set, but had nothing to show for his effort.

Brackets Continued from D1 President Barack Obama was one of more than 2 million — that’s 42.2 percent — who picked the Jayhawks to win the national title in their ESPN brackets and now find themselves more or less relegated to also-rans.

Also eliminated after the first weekend: No. 2 Villanova, No. 3 Georgetown and No. 3 Pittsburgh, three of six Big East teams to bite the dust. Last year’s national champion, North Carolina, didn’t even make the tournament, which leaves Michigan State, a No. 5 seed in the Midwest, as the only remaining program from last year’s Final Four.

The new odds-on favorite is Kentucky, which breezed through its two games and is listed at 2-1 in Vegas to win the championship, April 5 in Indianapolis.

Before that, though, are the regionals. If the first weekend is any indication, there will be more craziness waiting in Salt Lake City, St. Louis, Houston and Syracuse, N.Y. In the Midwest on Friday, Northern Iowa will face Michigan State and No. 2 Ohio State plays No. 6 Tennessee.

In the East on Thursday, No. 1 Kentucky plays Cornell — Big Blue vs. the Big Red — while Washington faces No. 2 West Virginia.

In the South semifinals Friday, No. 3 Baylor will play Saint Mary’s, while No. 1 Duke plays No. 4 Purdue.

And the West is mid-major country: No. 2 Kansas State advanced to play Xavier, and No. 1 Syracuse will play Butler on Thursday.

The Bulldogs and Musketeers used to be among the poster children for the small-school darlings. But in a sign of how upsidedown this tournament has been, their trips to the regional semis haven’t made a huge splash outside of their hometowns of Indy and Cincy.

“I don’t think there’s the midmajor anymore when you get into the NCAA tournament,” said Ohio State coach Thad Matta, who used to coach Xavier.

Instead, the loudest noise came from those in double digits.

Led by Murray State and No. 14 Ohio, which knocked out Georgetown in the first round, double-digit seeds won 11 games over the first two rounds.

No upset, though, was bigger than No. 9 Northern Iowa’s 69-67 win over Kansas.

The Jayhawks were the tournament’s overall No. 1 seed.

Though placed in what was widely regarded as the toughest region, they had the coach (Bill Self), the experience (2008 national title) and the talent (Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich, Xavier Henry and the Morris twins) to be a Final Four heavyweight.

Instead, Ali knocked them out.

That’s Ali Farokhmanesh, the Northern Iowa guard who hit the game-icing three-pointer Saturday after Kansas had whittled its deficit to one. Typical of an underdog, Farokhmanesh concedes that when he was in high school, he wasn’t even sure he’d play Division I basketball.

“To go from that to, we’re in the Sweet Sixteen, we just beat the No. 1 team in the country,” Farokhmanesh said. “I mean, if someone would have told me that back then I would have laughed at them probably. But I think it

shows that hard work really does pay off.”

Eleven conferences have teams among the final 16. The Big Ten led the way with three, while the Southeastern, Big East and Big 12 had two apiece. The Atlantic Coast and Pac-10 had one each, as did five mid-majors.

The NCAA selection committee awarded eight at-large spots to teams from small conferences.

That was double the number of last year. Instead of portraying that as a celebration of the come-one-come-all nature of the tournament, pundits widely derided the field as being one of the weakest in memory.

Debatable, though the number of underdogs making it through highlighted some of the selection committee’s less-than-perfect work — all issues that were pointed out when the bracket

came out last Sunday.

• Yes, the Pac-10 had an awful year, though sticking a power conference’s tournament champion, Washington, on the No. 11 line was clearly a misread. The Huskies blew out No. 3 New Mexico, the Mountain West regular-season champion, 82-64.

• Cornell won 28 games, won the Ivy League title by two games and, with a handful of players who had tournament experience, was widely viewed as a scary team to play. Certainly Temple and Wisconsin would agree.

They lost to the No. 12 seed by a combined 31 points. Cornell became the first Ivy League team to make it this far since Penn made the Final Four in 1979.

• Though any team beating Kansas would have made big news, Northern Iowa probably shouldn’t have been playing the

Jayhawks so early. The Panthers were seeded ninth despite being ranked No. 17 in the latest RPI, which would correspond to a No. 4 or 5 seed. Their odds to win the championship have dwindled from 200-1 to 40-1.

“I’m sure that bandwagon has a few wheels on it,” said Jay Kornegay, who runs the sports book at the Las Vegas Hilton. “If they win a couple more games, that thing’s gonna be fully loaded.”

The Panthers are among a handful of teams trying to become “The Next George Mason.”

In 2006, it was the Patriots, from the commuter school in Fairfax, Va., who captured America’s imagination by making the Final Four as a No. 11 seed. They showed anything really is possible in March Madness — something that appears every bit as true in 2010.

MEN’S NCAA TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP

No. 12 Cornell ends Ivy League’s Sweet 16 drought The Associated Press JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Cornell players jumped up and down near midcourt, exchanging chest-bumps and high-fives, then ran toward their fans.

And stood around.

Forgive those Ivy League guys for not knowing how to celebrate. After all, they’ve never experienced anything like this before. Then again, maybe they’re waiting for something bigger and better.

Either way, the Big Red made a big statement on college basketball’s biggest stage. They might have something for Big Blue!

Louis Dale scored 26 points, Ryan Wittman added 24 and No. 12 seed Cornell upset the fourth-seeded Badgers 87-69 on Sunday, becoming the first Ivy League school in more than 30 years to advance to the round of 16.

“You can’t sleep on us,” Dale said.

Nope, just ask the Badgers and Temple.

The Big Red (29-4) will play top-seeded Kentucky in the East Regional semifinal Thursday in Syracuse, N.Y., about an hour from Cornell’s campus. It could be a tough ticket, though, since Kentucky’s basketball-crazed fans got a head start when their team advanced Saturday.

“Maybe all the Syracuse fans bought tickets and can help us out,” said Cornell coach Steve Donahue, whose team played close games on the road this season against fellow No. 1 seeds Kansas and Syracuse.

Cornell wasted little time taking care of its end.

The Big Red controlled things from the opening tip, picking apart Wisconsin’s vaunted defense the same way they did Temple in the opening round.

Cornell had a 12-point lead early, a 20point lead late and very few moments of concern in between. The lopsided affair should make for some interesting conversation this week at the “Dog Pound,” the nickname given to the three-story, offcampus house that 13 players and a team manager call home.

“We’re definitely going to enjoy this one,” center Jeff Foote said. “But we’re not done yet.”

Cornell’s Ryan Wittman (20), left, Mark Coury (42), center, and Jon Jaques (25), right, celebrate their 87-69 win over Wisconsin in Jacksonville, Fla., Sunday. to get that far since Penn 31 years ago.

Wisconsin (24-9), meanwhile, failed to get past the opening weekend for the fourth time in five years.

“The momentum and confidence they played with, we kind of ran into a buzz saw,” Keaton Nankivil said.

Jon Leuer led the Badgers with 23 points, including the team’s first 12. Jason Bohannon added 18, Ryan Evans chipped in 11 and Trevon Hughes finished with 10.

But Wisconsin’s problem was defense.

Cornell shot 61 percent from the field, 53 percent from three-point range and dominated every aspect of the matchup.

Anyone believe the Big Red were seeded correctly now?

“We want to take this ride as long as we can because after this it’s just nothing but babies and memories,” Dale said.

Foote had 12 points and seven rebounds.

Chris Wroblewski added 12 points, and Jon Jaques finished with nine before foul-

ing out.

Cornell couldn’t miss to start this one.

The Big Red made their first five shots.

Wittman hit consecutive jumpers to set the tone. Cornell led 16-4 with a little more than 5 minutes gone and never looked back.

Johnson gets first win at Bristol

By Jen n a Fryer The Associated Press

BRISTOL, Tenn. — There’s an aura about Bristol Motor Speedway, a track that drivers and fans love equally for its electric, throwback-style racing.

Jimmie Johnson never chalked it up as one of his favorites.

The four-time defending NASCAR champion could never get a handle on the .533-mile bullring, where he struggled far more than he ever succeeded.

Until Sunday, that is.

Johnson finally knocked Bristol off his to-do list, plowing from sixth to first in just three laps Sunday to grab his first career victory at the revered Tennessee track.

“Everything around Bristol is what people focus on. There are parties for it. The fans get excited for it. You walk into this facility and look around, and you want to run well,” Johnson said.

“It’s really been a downer for me to walk through the gates, look around, ‘Man, I’m going to (stink) today.’ I really had that mindset coming here.”

That changed last season when Johnson led laps in both Bristol races, grabbing a pair of top-10 finishes while giving him a guide on how to get around the concrete track.

“I started building my confidence,” he said. “Those two races gave us clear direction where to work, me a clear direction on how to drive the car.”

And that’s all he needed with 10 laps to go and an opportunity to deny Kurt Busch a chance to gain any ground on Johnson’s

Wade Payne / The Associated Press

Jimmie Johnson, front, crosses the finish line in front of Tony Stewart, center, and Kurt Busch, back, to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ Food City at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn., Sunday. championship No. 48 team.

Busch led 278 of the 500 laps and had a decent gap on Johnson when his easy drive to victory was clouded by a debris caution with 17 laps remaining. All the leaders headed to pit road, and Busch and Johnson both took four tires on the final stop.

Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart all took two tires, giving them the first four positions on the restart. Busch was fifth, Johnson was sixth and the race resumed

with 10 laps to go.

Kenseth’s difficulty getting up to speed stacked up traffic behind him, including Busch, who lost his opportunity to leapfrog his way to the front.

Not Johnson, though. He weaved through the mess up to second, Stewart moved into the lead, and Johnson needed just over one lap to pick him off, too.

“When we’re winning at tracks that we’re not supposed to, boys better look out,” Johnson warned. “Even that 2 car

(Busch) that doesn’t want the 48 to win.”

Busch, a five-time Bristol winner who hasn’t been to Victory Lane at the bullring since 2006, was irate over his radio at the loss. He settled for third behind Johnson and Stewart, missing his chance to win his second consecutive race of the season and prove his Penske Racing team has made enough gains to run consistently with Johnson and the Hendrick Motorsports bunch.

RACING SCOREBOARD

CLASS 4A SISTERS OUTLAWS Coach: Bob Johnson (fourth season) 2009 finish: First at Sky-Em League championships Returning state qualifiers: Parker Bennett, sr., (1,500, 3,000); Jeff Wilder, sr., (1,600 relay); Jared Nelson, jr., (pole vault) 2010 district meet: Sky-Em championships in Cottage Grove, May 20 and 22 LA PINE HAWKS Coach: Gary Slater (sixth season) 2009 finish: Sixth at Sky-Em League championships Returning state qualifiers: Ty Slater, sr., (discus, javelin); Nick Read, sr., (high jump) 2010 district meet: Sky-Em championships in Cottage Grove, May 20 and 22

CLASS 2A CULVER BULLDOGS Coach: Mike Dove (third season) 2009 finish: First at Tri-River Conference championships; third at Class 2A state meet Returning state qualifiers: Preston Quinn, jr., (3,000); Tyler Funk, jr., (pole vault); Josh Hanslovan, sr., (1,500) 2010 district meet: Tri-River championships at Salem Academy, May 14-15

CLASS 1A GILCHRIST GRIZZLIES Coach: James Anding (third season) 2009 finish: Third at Mt. Skyline championships Returning state qualifiers: Tyler Shuey, so., (100, 400 relay); Ryan Stinson, sr., (pole vault, 400 relay) 2010 district meet: Mt. Skyline championships at Douglas High in Winston, May 15

Athletes Continued from D1 “Kenny’s one of our leaders we expect to have a big year,” Hood says. “We’ve even talked to him about sprinting.”

Like Helms, Nachtmann, a junior, is heading into track after a busy fall and winter. A state qualifier in the 1,500 a year ago, Nachtmann ran for the Cougars’ cross-country team in the fall before skiing to the combined boys title (freestyle and classic events) at the 2010 Oregon Interscholastic Ski Racing Association’s nordic championships in February.

“He’ll have an excellent (endurance) base,” Hood says about Nachtmann’s physical conditioning after the cross-country ski season. “He hasn’t been running and pounding, which is good, but we’ll have to get the leg speed back.”

Nachtmann, the 2009 Intermountain Conference runner-up in 1,500, will also likely compete in the 800 and possibly the 1,600meter relay.

Around the IMC, Summit not only has a chance to repeat as boys league champion, but the Storm could make a run at the 5A state title, according to their coach, Dave Turnbull.

“If we’re careful and smart, and a little lucky, we could walk away with a state title,” says Turnbull, who has eight returning state

qualifiers on his boys roster this season. “We got to the podium last year (by finishing tied for fourth), which was the goal. This year the goal is to win state.”

Summit sprinters Jesse Sanderson, Cole Thomas, T.J. Peay and Dion Roccasalva are all back after advancing to state in the 400-meter relay.

“We’ve got a lot of speed,” Turnbull says. “We could get a couple of guys under 11 seconds in the 100.”

Bend High also is expected to compete well in the sprints with junior Caleb Buzzas and sophomore Tom Steelhammer. Buzzas posted solid early-season times of 11.18 seconds in the 100 and 23.41 in the 200, while Steelhammer, who went to state last year as a member of the Lava Bears’ 1,600-meter relay team, has already this season posted a time under 52 seconds in the 400.

In Class 6A, Redmond junior pole vaulter Matt Miyamoto is a favorite to return to the state meet after posting a career-best mark (14 feet 1 inch) earlier this season.

And in Class 4A, Sisters returns three athletes who advanced to state last year in Parker Bennett (1,500, 3,000), Jeff Wilder (1,600 relay) and Jared Nelson (pole vault).

West Continued from D1 Far West skiers led the competition, which included superG, giant slalom and slalom races for boys and girls held over the three days.

“We’ve been very successful this week and standing on the podium quite a lot,” said Cole Dufty, head coach for the Far West division.

The boys soared along and over the slalom course Sunday.

Ford Continued from D1 “I hit a hole and that was it,” Biggs said. “You can only do so much with this snow. That’s ski racing.”

Ford’s international ranking usually starts him in the back half of the field, where conditions begin to deteriorate.

“Not everyone can ski that stuff and I know I’m good in it,” Ford said. “These other guys haven’t been in it for a while.”

David Chodounsky, of Crested Butte, Colo., was second in 2:02.94, and Nolan Kasper, of Warren, Vt., was third in 2:03.35.

and Max Hall took the top two podium spots, Norton finishing first in a time of 1 minute, 16.77 seconds, followed by Hall in 1:17.30. K.J. Savaria of Intermountain tied for second place.

Madeline Johnson of Far West won the girls giant slalom race, clocking in at 1:58.04.

Pacific Northwest’s Anna Mounsey, Linnea Baysinger and Makenzie Norwill all took high spots, placing second through fourth in Sunday’s girls giant slalom race.

The highest finisher Sunday from Central Oregon was

Bend’s Max Stamler, who placed 37th out of 91 entries in the boys slalom race with a time of 1:23.51.

“It takes a lot of training (to qualify for the Junior Olympics),” said Stamler.

According to Chuck Kenlan, race director and executive director of host organization Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation, it has been more than 10 years since Bachelor hosted the J3 Junior Olympics.

Only about a third of the skiers in each regional division qualify for the J3 Junior Olym-

pics, and among those who do qualify, the top 15 first-year J3s go on to the Topolino Shootout (held at different locations around the West each year) for a chance to compete in a world event in Italy.

“If they want to be successful in this arena, they have to work hard,” notes Far West’s Dufty.

“Because everyone else is working, and if they don’t work they get left behind — done.”

In the women’s competition, 31-year-old Sarah Schleper, a four-time Olympian, continued a comeback to the U.S. Ski Team that began two years ago after the birth of her son.

“I didn’t have the results last year until the end of the season,” said Schleper, of Vail, Colo., after taking her fourth U.S. slalom crown. “And then it carried over into this season. That got my spot on the Olympic team. I thought I had a shot at a medal. Even though I didn’t medal, I skied passionately. This is the icing on the last two years.”

Schleper used a fast start in the opening run to establish a lead of nearly 0.8 seconds over Erin Mielzynski of Canada in soft snow conditions near Lake Placid.

The reverse 30 format of the second run, however, nearly cost her the victory. Starting last, Schleper surrendered much of her advantage on a rut-

ted track. Her two-heat total was 2:03.67 down a Draper’s Drop course that fell 630 feet vertically from start to finish.

Schleper’s aggregate time was 0.13 faster than Mielzynski.

Hailey Duke, of Boise, Idaho, placed third in 2:04.85.

Vancouver Winter Olympian Megan McJames, of Park City, Utah, picked up the women’s combined victory, with Oregonian Laurenne Ross, of Klamath

On a $500,000 home, the assessment would be $22.92 per month or $275 per year. The estimated tax cost for this measure is an ESTIMATE ONLY based on the best information available from the county assessor at the time of the estimate.
