A law with near-universal impact

Early fallout: Oregon wilderness areas on hold

By Keith Chu • The Bulletin

Bulletin wire reports Claiming a historic triumph that could define his presidency, a jubilant Barack Obama signed a massive, nearly $1 trillion health care overhaul Tuesday that will for the first time cement insurance coverage as the right of every American citizen and begin to reshape the way each receives and pays for treatment.

HEALTH CARE REFORM With the strokes of 20 pens, Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — the most expansive so-

cial legislation enacted in decades — saying it enshrines “the core principle that everybody should have some basic security when it comes to their health care.”

Read on to capture the impact of the entire package, which would extend coverage to 32 million of the uninsured, but also would affect almost every citizen.

IN CONGRESS

WASHINGTON — A Senate bill to create 16,000 acres of Central Oregon wilderness became an unlikely — although temporary — casualty of health care reform on Tuesday.

A hearing on the bill that would create the Cathedral Rock and Horse Heaven wilderness areas was postponed after one or more Republicans objected to all hearings in the Senate, according to a spokesman for the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

Days look sunny for area golf

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

Perhaps it is all the recent sunshine that has the Central Oregon golf industry feeling optimistic this season.

After a year in which the struggling economy loomed over businesses all across Central Oregon, those who operate local golf courses say there is reason to believe this golf season could be better.

It is a cautious optimism, to be sure. But for many of the golf courses — a good number of which are open for the season earlier than normal because of relatively mild winter weather — this year seems more promising.

“I’m hearing lots of positive comments (from golfers),” says Lee Roberts, head pro at Prineville’s Meadow Lakes Golf Course. “People want to get golfing again and get going. And I think there is just a better outlook going into the season.”

After years of a booming local golf industry, last year was a rough one for most of the 30 public and private golf courses in Central Oregon.

According to the Central Oregon Visitors Association’s 2009 golf survey, fewer rounds of golf were played here last year: 453,347 rounds, down from the more than 480,000 rounds played annually in the peak years of 2006 and 2007.

And most course operators have said that 2009 was particularly bad for retail sales.

So why the optimism this year?

The company that operates three Sisters charter schools, currently under investigation by the Oregon Department of Education, is now also under investigation by the Oregon Department of Justice and allegedly owes Central Oregon Community College about $8,000.

It’s the latest twist in the saga of EdChoices/ AllPrep, a Clackamas-based company that operates charter schools in six Oregon school districts, including the Sisters AllPrep Web Academy, Sisters Early College Academy and the Sisters Charter Academy of Fine Arts, and which is being investigated for questionable financial operations.

The Sisters Charter Academy of Fine Arts was evicted from its building March 12 and has permanently closed. That comes on the heels of a January letter from the state announcing the Oregon Department of Education was investigating a variety of possible state law violations, including improperly commingling funds among charter schools and transferring students among the company’s schools without parent or district permission.

New NASA: a new frontier, or eclipsed by rivals?

By Julie Johnsson Chicago Tribune

The final countdown has begun to the end of manned space flights by NASA, leaving some to fret that the nation’s dreams of reaching for the stars may be in jeopardy under President Barack Obama’s controversial plan to commercialize space flight.

On April 15, Obama will make the case for the most radical change of di-

rection in NASA’s history, wading into a debate laden with emotion, big bucks and ambitions that united a nation in a race to the moon a half-century ago.

After the space shuttle’s aging orbiters are retired over the next year, NASA would exit the business of blasting astronauts into orbit under Obama’s fiscal 2011 budget request.

NASA already had planned to book seats on Russia’s rockets until the next

U.S. space vehicle is ready to launch later this decade. Obama is gambling that Boeing or other aerospace firms will develop the shuttle’s replacement quicker and more cheaply than NASA. If he’s right, the president would provide a huge boost to space entrepreneurs, unleashing the greatest new engine for innovation since the Internet, said aerospace analyst Marco Caceres.

SISTERS — Amy Pickett knew she needed to find a new school for her 7-year-old son next year. But Pickett learned Tuesday that his school this year, the Sisters Charter Academy of Fine Arts, would be closing permanently, and immediately.

Pickett now plans on home-schooling her son for the rest of the school year.

The closure comes barely more than a week after the 3-year-old school was evicted from its building.

So parents and staff at the school already understood there were some financial problems.

But on Tuesday, academy staff met with parents in a small conference room at Ray’s Food Place in Sisters to announce the school was closing permanently. The subdued meeting lasted about 20 minutes and left parents concerned about how their children would handle the news.

Continued from A1 While the underlying Senate bill is now law, more changes will occur if the Senate passes additional recommendations by the House.

Q: A:

I don’t have health insurance. Would I have to get it, and what happens if I don’t?

Under the law, most Americans would have to have insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty.

The penalty would start at $95, or up to 1 percent of income, whichever is greater, and rise to $695, or 2.5 percent of income, by 2016.

This is an individual limit; families have a limit of $2,085. Some people would be exempted from the insurance requirement, called an individual mandate, because of financial hardship or religious beliefs or if they’re American Indians, for example.

Q: A:

I want insurance but can’t afford it. What do I do?

Depending on your income, you might be eligible for Medicaid, the state-federal program for poor people and those with disabilities, which would be expanded sharply beginning in 2014. Low-income adults, including those without children, would be eligible as long as their incomes didn’t exceed 133 percent of the federal poverty level, or $14,404 annually for an individual and $29,326 for a family of four, according to current poverty guidelines.

Q: A:

What if I make too much for Medicaid but still can’t afford coverage?

You might be eligible for government subsidies to help pay for private insurance that would be sold in the new statebased insurance marketplaces, called exchanges, slated to begin operating in 2014.

Premium subsidies would be available for individuals and families with incomes of 133 percent to 400 percent of the poverty level, or $14,404 to $43,320 for an individual and $29,326 to $88,200 for a family of four. The subsidies would be on a sliding scale.

Q:

How would the law affect the kind of insurance I could buy? Would it make it easier for me to get coverage, even if I have health problems?

If you have a medical condition, the law makes it easier for you to get coverage; insurers would be barred from rejecting applicants based on health status (such as pre-existing conditions) once the exchanges are operating in 2014.

In the meantime, the law creates a temporary high-risk insurance pool for people with medical problems who’ve been rejected by insurers and have been uninsured at least six months. That would occur this year.

Starting later this year, insurers no longer could exclude coverage for specific medical problems for children who have pre-existing conditions. They also no longer could set lifetime coverage limits for adults and children.

In 2014, annual limits on coverage would be banned.

New policies sold on the exchanges would be required to cover a range of benefits, including hospitalizations, doctor visits, prescription drugs, maternity care and certain preventive tests.

A:

Q: A:

How would the law affect young adults?

If you’re an unmarried adult younger than 26, you could stay on your parent’s insurance coverage as long as you aren’t offered health coverage at work.

In addition, people in their 20s would be given the option of buying “catastrophic” plans that would have lower premiums.

The coverage largely would kick in only after the individual had $6,000 in out-of-pocket expenses.

Q:

I own a small business.

Would I have to buy insurance for my workers? What help could I get?

It depends on the size of your business. Companies with fewer than 50 workers wouldn’t face any penalties if they didn’t offer insurance.

Companies could get tax credits to help buy insurance if they have 25 or fewer employees and a work force with an average wage of up to $50,000 a year.

Tax credits of up to 35 percent of the cost of premiums would be available this year and would reach 50 percent in 2014. The full credits are for the smallest firms with low-wage workers; the sub-

A:

sidies shrink as companies’ work forces and average wages rise.

Firms with more than 50 employees that don’t offer coverage would have to pay a fee of up to $2,000 per full-time employee if any of their workers got government-subsidized insurance coverage in the exchanges. The first 30 workers would be excluded from the assessment.

Q: A:

I’m over 65. How does the law affect seniors?

The Medicare prescription-drug benefit would be improved substantially. This year, seniors who enter the Part D coverage gap, known as the “doughnut hole,” each would get $250 to help pay for their medications.

Beyond that, drug-company discounts on brand-name drugs and federal subsidies and discounts for all drugs would reduce the gap gradually, eliminating it by 2020.

That means that seniors, who now pay 100 percent of their drug costs while they’re in the doughnut hole, would pay 25 percent.

Further, as under current law, once seniors spend a certain amount on medications, they’d get “catastrophic” coverage and pay only 5 percent of the cost of their medications.

Government payments to Medicare Advantage, the privateplan part of Medicare, would be cut sharply starting next year. If you’re one of the 10 million enrollees, you could lose extra benefits that many of the plans offer, such as free eyeglasses, hearing aids and gym memberships.

Beginning this year, the law makes all Medicare preventive services, such as screenings for colon, prostate and breast cancer, free to beneficiaries.

Q: A:

How much will it all cost?

Will it increase my taxes?

The law is estimated to cost $938 billion over a decade.

Because of higher taxes and fees and billions of dollars in Medicare payment cuts to providers, however, the law narrows the federal budget deficit by $143 billion over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

If you have a high income, you face higher taxes. Starting in 2013, individuals would pay a higher Medicare payroll tax of 2.35 percent on earnings of more than $200,000 a year, up from the current 1.45 percent. The higher rate also affects couples earning more than $250,000.

In addition, people with those incomes face a 3.8 percent tax on unearned income such as dividends and interest.

Starting in 2018, the law imposes a 40 percent excise tax on the portion of most employer-sponsored health coverage — excluding dental and vision — that exceeds $10,200 a year for individuals and $27,500 for families.

The law raises the threshold for deducting unreimbursed medical expenses from 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income to 10 percent.

The law also limits the amount of money you can put in a flexible spending account to pay medical expenses to $2,500 starting in 2013. Those who use indoor tanning salons will pay a 10 percent tax starting this year.

Q: A:

What will happen to my premiums?

That’s hard to predict and the subject of much debate.

People who are sick might face lower premiums than they would otherwise, because insurers wouldn’t be permitted to charge sick people more; healthier people might pay more. Older people still could be charged more than younger people are, but the gap couldn’t be as large.

The bigger question is what happens to rising medical costs, which drive up premiums. Even proponents acknowledge that efforts to control costs, such as a new board to oversee Medicare spending, wouldn’t have much of an effect for several years.

In November, a CBO report on how the legislation, which at that point had a tougher “Cadillac” health-plan tax, would affect premiums said that big employers would see premiums stay flat or drop 3 percent compared with now. It noted that premiums for employees with small-group coverage might stay the same. Americans who received subsidies would see their premiums decline up to 11 percent, according to the CBO. Q&A compiled by Kaiser Health News, an independent service partnering with McClatchy-Tribune News Service and a program of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan health care research organization.

It’s law — but fight’s not over Surrounded by emotional Democrats, proud members of the Kennedy family and 11-year-old Marcelas Owens — whose mom died three years ago in Seattle after she lost her health insurance — President Barack Obama on Tuesday signed into law a huge health coverage expansion in the East Room of the White House.

Not everyone was cheering.

The Democrats pushed the bill through Congress without GOP support, and the Republicans said Tuesday they would pay dearly in this November’s elections. Opinion polls show the public remains skeptical, too, and Obama will fly to Iowa on Thursday for the first of a number of appearances that will be more like a continuing sales job than a victory lap.

More than a dozen Republican senators introduced legislation

The Associated Press

to repeal the law. And attorneys general from 13 states acted on their opposition immediately, filing suit to stop the overhaul just minutes after the bill signing. Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum took the lead in the lawsuit that contends the legislation is unconstitutional, joined by colleagues from South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Michigan, Utah, Pennsylvania, Alabama, South Dakota, Louisiana, Idaho, Washington and Colorado.

Obama made clear the offensive will not go unanswered.

Starting in Iowa City, where as a presidential candidate he announced his health care plan

in May 2007, Obama intends to emphasize the law’s most immediate impacts, including the ability of young adults to remain on their parents’ health plans and a ban on insurers denying coverage to sick children.

Even as the celebration proceeded in Washington, Congress labored to complete the overhaul with a companion measure containing changes demanded as a condition of House Democrats’ approval. The Senate was poised to consider that bill, with leaders hoping for its completion by week’s end.

— The Associated Press

Clearing up confusion: What’s no longer part of health care reform In the year it took Congress to write and pass a health care overhaul, turbulent political shifts forced critical compromises on the scope of legislation. Not widely understood are the adjustments the health care overhaul legislation underwent from July 2009, when Democratic leaders in the House first introduced their ambitious proposal, to this week, as the House passed the Senate bill and a related package of changes that requires Senate action. Those modifications will have major effects on Americans in years to come: • The package will leave 22 million people without coverage, nearly 6 million more than originally intended. Overall, 22 million will still lack coverage in 2019, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Many are illegal immigrants.

• The final package will experiment with dozens of ways to slow the growth of medical costs, but it lacks the most aggressive cost-control measures proposed during a year of negotiations.

• Older people who are too young for Medicare — those in their 50s and early 60s — will face higher costs than under the House’s initial bill. Still, the situation is much better than the higher premiums some older people face now.

• The final package kept many pilot projects aimed at changing the way doctors and hospitals are paid to encourage them to provide better care more efficiently. “The most optimistic thing that can be said is it’s taking some consensus steps that might have potential for the future,” said Paul Ginsburg, the president of the Center for Studying Health System Change. “There are very few concrete steps to control costs.”

Graham offers framework for detainee cases

By Anne E. Kornblut The Washington Post

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has submitted draft legislation to the White House in an effort to create a broad framework for handling terrorism suspects, mapping out proposals that appeal to the administration and others that do not, officials said.

Senior White House officials have begun circulating a summary of the Graham proposal among leading Democrats on Capitol Hill, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a matter under negotiation.

Sen. Lindsey The presiGraham, R-S.C. dent opposes some items that Graham has promoted publicly, such as the creation of a national security court to handle detainees, but the White House is urging Democrats to treat the proposal seriously as a way to break the logjam over the closure of the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and other detainee-related issues.

Certain ideas under discussion appear likely to yield a compromise, administration officials said. The talks were preliminary, and officials said they were deciding whether to begin a more formal negotiation with other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. But as they struggle with major legal dilemmas, such as where to try those accused of carrying out the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, officials said they are eager to try to reach a bipartisan agreement on detainee policy overall.

U.S. vows more help in Mexican drug war

By David Stringer

MEXICO CITY — Amid rampant violence and growing doubts over the effectiveness of Mexico’s war against drug cartels, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday pledged widened U.S. support for a battle she said must be shouldered by both nations.

Clinton, leading an unusually large delegation of senior Obama administration officials, offered firm endorsement of Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who declared war against drug cartels more than three years ago. More than 18,000 people have died since in drug-related violence.

The two sides agreed to step up joint planning and cooperation to prevent the illegal movement of drugs and weapons across the border, and to tackle money-laundering and share intelligence.

The U.S. contingent included Defense Secretary Robert Gates; Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano; Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair; and Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The Associated Press

By Sam Roberts Americans stung by the recession and the burst housing bubble hunkered down as the decade ended. As a result, hot spots in the South and the West that had surged in population after 2000 grew more slowly or lost migrants to other places, according to census data released Tuesday.

Las Vegas, Bakersfield, Calif., and the Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla., area recorded more people leaving than arriving for the first time. The loss rate in Cape Coral, which experienced the fastest gain during the bubble at the middle of the decade, was surpassed only by Detroit and Youngstown, Ohio.

Phoenix, which was drawing 100,000 new residents at mid-decade, gained only 12,000 in the 12 months ending July 1, 2009.

Demographers said the decline in mobility reflected both the breadth of the recession — there were no jobs to move to — and the likelihood that retirees were saddled with homes they could not sell or were forced by shrunken savings to delay retirement.

While the typical population magnets lost their pull, metropolitan Boston registered its first gain in migration from elsewhere in the U.S. since at least 1990. Washington reversed its migration loss, and New York recorded its lowest loss since at least 1990.

Metro Los Angeles lost about 80,000 people to other places from July 1, 2008, to July 1, 2009, about a third of its annual loss in mid-decade. Even metropolitan Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Chicago registered reduced losses.

Houston, which has been the leader in attracting newcomers from other places in the nation, drew even more in the latest year, defying the decline recorded in Atlanta. “(This shows) that the migration slowdown continues and may not let up in the foreseeable future,” said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution.

Rare rebuke from Britain as it expels Israeli envoy

Photos by The Associated Press

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives at the White House on Tuesday. He and President Barack Obama met in the midst of a serious dispute that spoiled what might have been a celebration of a recent agreement for a new round of peace talks with the Palestinians.

Divisions deepen as Netanyahu visits D.C. Warmer welcome for Israeli leader from lawmakers Bulletin wire reports WASHINGTON — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received a warmer public reception from Congress than from the Obama administration, with a top Democrat and Republican joining Tuesday to praise a leader who has refused to back down on an issue the White House says threatens new peace talks.

The bipartisan welcome underscored the breadth of congressional support for Israel even when a U.S. president wants to keep his distance.

And it pointed to the limited options, beyond verbal rebukes, that the Obama administration faces in pressuring the Jewish state.

President Barack Obama and Netanyahu met later Tuesday for about 90 minutes in the Oval Office, but — in a break with custom — reporters were not invited to see them shake hands. The White House had no immediate comment on what they discussed.

At issue is Israel’s announcement two weeks ago that it will build 1,600 new apartments in east Jerusalem, the largely Arab section of the disputed holy city.

P.J. Crowley, a spokesman for the State Department, said the U.S. and Israel were currently engaged in “give and take.” However, “we will continue to discuss those steps privately,” Crowley said.

Both nations are now trying to move on without backing down. But on Capitol Hill, lawmakers lavished praise on Israel. Republicans have criticized the Obama administration for its handling of the crisis.

“We in Congress stand by Israel,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi assured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, left, at an all-smiles appearance Tuesday on Capitol Hill with her Republican counterpart, Minority Leader John Boehner, center. “In Congress, we speak with one voice on the subject of Israel.”

Grand plan issued for east Jerusalem Jerusalem city hall has submitted a grandiose plan for hotels, businesses and new housing for Palestinians in the center of east Jerusalem, according to a statement issued Tuesday, triggering renewed Palestinian objections.

The plan calls for developing a large area for tourism and commerce, as well as building 1,000 additional apartments. Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of the state they want to create.

— The Associated Press “I never thought I’d live to see the day that an American administration would denounce the state of Israel for rebuilding Jerusalem,” Rep. Mike Pence, of Indiana, said on the House floor Tuesday.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Republican leader John Boehner both pointed to the threat from Iran as a top concern and an area in which the U.S. will cooperate with Israel.

Netanyahu thanked his congressional hosts for what he called warm, bipartisan support.

“We face two great challenges,” Netanyahu said, a “quest for peace with our Palestinian neighbors” and stopping Iran from developing atomic weapons.

Obama himself has remained out of the fray as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other U.S. officials have rebuked Israel.

Netanyahu’s visit to Washington was planned before the housing dispute, and the Obama administration appears eager to let Netanyahu’s visit pass with as little public remark as possible. Both countries are eager to defuse the tensions but have refused to detail what promises Netanyahu is making to ease the most serious diplomatic breach between the two nations in decades.

LONDON — Britain took the extraordinary step Tuesday of expelling an Israeli diplomat for the first time in more than 20 years, after concluding there was compelling evidence that Israel was responsible for the use of forged British passports in the plot to slay a senior Hamas operative in Dubai.

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said trust between the two countries had been badly dented, demanded formal assurances it never happen again and — in an unusual step — issued travel advice to U.K. citizens warning their identity details may be at risk if they visit Israel.

Diplomatic expulsions are a rare sanction against foreign governments, especially friendly ones.

Behind the killing Miliband told the House of Commons the expelled diplomat, who has not been named, was removed following an investigation into the use of 12 fake U.K. passports in the Jan. 20 slaying in Dubai.

“We have concluded that there are compelling reasons to believe that Israel was responsible for the misuse of the British passports,” Miliband said.

However, Miliband insisted Britain has drawn no conclusions over who is responsible for the killing of Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.

Dubai authorities accuse Israel’s Mossad of carrying out al-Mabhouh’s killing in a luxury hotel room, and have identified at least 26 suspects in an alleged hit squad — members of which used forged European and Australian passports.

Interpol has a wanted list of 27 people in connection with the slaying. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied any involvement in al-Mabhouh’s death.

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Israel had never been supplied with “any proof that Israel was involved in this affair” and that he regretted Britain’s decision.

Israel’s ambassador to London also said he was “disappointed by the decision.

France and Ireland are also carrying out inquiries into the use of forged passports.

U.S. involvement in the drug war The meeting here reflects the Obama administration’s deepening stake in the drug war, launched by Calderon in December 2006 and heartily backed by then-President George W. Bush. Since taking office, President Barack Obama also has voiced strong support, casting the battle as a matter of U.S. security. The session was part of a series of annual, highlevel meetings to guide anti-crime strategy under the U.S. security aid package for Mexico known as the Merida Initiative. Obama is seeking $310 million in security aid for Mexico in next year’s federal budget, which in effect would extend Merida, a $1.4-billion, three-year aid package, forged under Bush.

Haiti’s recovery blueprint includes foreign donors (billed at $100M)

By Jacqueline Charles McClatchy-Tribune News Service

MIAMI — Call it the $100 million club.

That’s the amount each donor nation will have to ante up for a say in Haiti’s early recovery under a plan Haitian President Rene Preval plans to present at an international donors conference in New York at month’s end.

While Haitian and foreign disaster experts were tallying the cost to rebuild after the Jan. 12, 7.0-magnitude earthquake — $11.5 billion — Preval and his advisers have been quietly negotiating the blueprint of the development plan that will shape Haiti’s reconstruction over the next decade.

“It moves it in the right direction,” Mark Schneider, senior vice president of the Washington D.C.-based International Crisis Group, said of the plan, which he has seen. “I’ve said, the first phase of reconstruction is a decade.

The real test is a generation and hopefully with partnerships both inside and outside of Haiti, it will continue for that time period.”

The plan includes creation of an Interim Haitian Recovery Commission that will — for the first time — seek to guide how and where aid is spent by giving both Haitians and foreigners a vote in reconstruction priorities and projects over the next 18 months.

Haiti’s president will retain veto power and there’s a starring role for former President Bill Clinton if he wants it.

The blueprint is certain to come under plenty of scrutiny in Haiti, a country plagued by in-fighting among donors. Over the years, billions of dollars in aid — often delivered after hurricanes or political coups — has failed to produce any signs of lasting progress in a

Charters Continued from A1 A Feb. 22 letter from the district’s attorney, Shawn Swisher, states that EdChoices/AllPrep Director Tim King asked that two of Sisters’ charter schools be merged at an October school board meeting, and the board asked for a written proposal.

The next day, Swisher wrote, nearly 100 students were transferred from the Sisters AllPrep Web Academy to other AllPrep schools around the state. King could not provide documentation proving families had consented to the transfers. On Feb. 4, those parents received a letter asking them to sign a statement saying they “agree that (their student) was not involuntarily enrolled or transferred” among the schools.

Now there are other concerns about the way in which the company was operating.

In a letter to the Sisters School District dated March 17, ODE Assistant Superintendent Colleen Mileham says that community colleges around the state report they were not paid for fall and winter term classes taken by charter school students run by EdChoices/AllPrep.

“We are uncertain as to how these claimed State School funds were used,” the letter states.

School Continued from A1 Pickett avoided bringing her son to the meeting because she worried the news would be too upsetting. “He loves his teachers,” Pickett said. “But he’ll adjust. I want to get going on plans.”

The meeting brought closure to a tumultuous year for the charter.

The Sisters School Board voted in January to end its charter agreement, and EdChoices/AllPrep, the school’s parent company, is under investigation by the Oregon Department of Education and the Oregon Department of Justice.

The three teachers are now out of jobs, and students will all have to find a new place to go to school. The school struggled with low enrollment all year, and its funding depended on how many students attended.

The current problems have been complicated because the school has not received funding since September. At the school year’s start, the charter school projected it would have 50 students, according to Sandy Tartaglia, the district’s business manager.

From June through September, the Sisters district followed that projection and paid a total

“I’ve said, the first phase of reconstruction is a decade. The real test is a generation and hopefully with partnerships both inside and outside of Haiti, it will continue for that time.”

— Mark Schneider, senior vice president of the Washington D.C.-based International Crisis Group country that remains the poorest in the Western Hemisphere.

Leading its own development The commission’s goal will be to plan and coordinate reconstruction priorities and projects over the next 18 months with recommendations from a 20-member board made up of Haitians and foreign donors. Eventually, the commission would morph into the Haiti Development Authority, a central planning agency tasked with approving all reconstruction projects in Haiti regardless of which country or aid agency is funding it.

The authority’s executive director, like that of the commission, likely would be a well-respected Haitian. “Haitians must have the chance to lead the rebuilding of Haiti,” said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, a key person in talks.

The original plan was modeled on the successful reconstruction authority created in Indonesia after the 2004 tsunami and presented by Mills to Preval and top Haitian officials last month. Other countries and multilateral institutions also presented plans to the Haitian government. The U.S. plan has since undergone several revisions at Preval’s urging.

For decades, Haiti has been plagued by a lack of planning

and coordination among donor nations and aid groups as they battled among each other in the poverty-stricken country.

Using the model employed in Indonesia after the Asian tsunami, plan supporters say the reconstruction commission offers Haiti the best chance to lead its own redevelopment and to change the way donors do business, ending an era where aid groups spend budgets larger than Haitian ministries without any accountability to the Haitian people. But that can only be achieved in Haiti, say supporters, if donors and their projects are coordinated, and in line with Haiti’s vision and post-disaster reconstruction needs, which will be presented at the March 31 New York conference and remains a work in progress while the government seeks input from various Haitian groups.

Still, the idea of putting Haiti’s reconstruction into the hands of one central authority — or having some donors channel their money into a trust fund — is not without detractors. Some argue that the authority could render government ministries obsolete because projects would now bypass them, while others point out that a similar World Bank fund in the Sudan has been troubled by rules leaving schools and health care facilities undone as hundreds of millions of dollars remain unspent.

Oregon Department of Education spokeswoman Susanne Smith said the department will continue to investigate the company’s operations and is focusing much of the investigation on its finances.

“We’ve seen questions continue to arise, and we’re taking the matter very seriously,” she said.

Oregon Department of Justice spokesman Tony Green confirmed his office is also investigating the company but declined to provide specifics.

Sisters AllPrep Web Academy Principal Teresa Schneiderman did not return calls for comment.

COCC College Relations Director Ron Paradis said the college never received a $8,043 payment from AllPrep, which he said covered tuition, fees and bookstore charges for 11 students taking classes at COCC during the winter term now under way. The college was paid $4,710 for five students to take classes during the fall term. Most of the classes were taken on campus, not online.

“We will not accept a purchase order from (AllPrep) again,” Paradis said. “As far as I know we have never gone without being paid by any educational entity.”

Paradis said the more than $8,000 bill was due in January.

COCC, which according to the letter had AllPrep students enrolled in its classes, is not the only community college that was

allegedly shorted funds by the company. A total of 10 Oregon community colleges enrolled AllPrep students and are awaiting payments ranging from $1,000 to $250,000. Among those, Blue Mountain, Clackamas and Mount Hood community colleges reported enrolling students from Sisters AllPrep Web Academy and Sisters Early College Academy.

Mileham’s letter also states that a representative of the charter schools has told families they might have to pay for the college classes. Oregon law states public charter schools cannot charge tuition for courses that are part of the school’s regular school program, and that would apply to community college classes.

The district now has until 5 p.m. Friday to ensure the charter schools are in clear communication with families, and the state has recommended that Sisters ensure that students haven’t paid tuition and make sure its charter schools have paid community colleges for services. The state has also asked the district to submit a plan for educating students who were attending community college classes and cannot do so during spring term because of nonpayment.

of $82,440 in state funding to the charter school. But the school enrolled fewer than 20 students, meaning the district overpaid at the year’s start. Now the district is withholding payments until the school has, in effect, earned the original payment, according to Tartaglia.

The state sets a minimum of 25 students for charters, but the academy never reached that number this year.

That attendance level is set because below that, schools would not have enough state funding to operate, Principal Teresa Schneiderman said.

“It’s impossible,” Schneiderman said after the meeting.

Parents and staff are now worried about the immediate future.

After the eviction notice was delivered March 12, the building’s locks were changed. Staff is now negotiating a way to get the property out of the building, Schneiderman said.

The building, for now, is just as it was left on the school’s last day.

A sign hangs from the school sign announcing that new students were still being accepted.

Inside, a mostly empty water bottle sits on a teacher’s desk. On a nearby window sill, two small flower pots sit with their plants withered in the dry dirt.

Schneiderman said she only

learned about the school’s financial difficulties at the end of February. About a week later, a letter arrived from the property owner stating that the school was in danger of being evicted.

According to Schneiderman, the school failed to pay a total of $8,100 rent over the past three months.

Michele Williams, the academy’s founder, said the school staff had no idea how dire the finances had become.

“If we’d have known, we would have been responsible and closed the school before this year,” Williams said. “We wouldn’t have hurt the parents and the kids.”

Despite the sudden closure, parents at the meeting remained supportive of the school. They praised teachers and asked to set up a farewell picnic with staff.

Melody Morrow, whose 5-yearold daughter is in kindergarten at the charter, said she would not send her daughter to a Sisters School District school. As for next year, Morrow is uncertain what she will do.

“I’m going to home-school for the rest of the year,” Morrow said. “No idea what I’m going to do after that.”

Matt McCurdy hits his way out of some trouble while playing the first hole of Black Butte Ranch’s Big Meadow course Saturday afternoon.

Golf Continued from A1 “There is nowhere to go but up,” says Ron Buerger, director of golf at Eagle Crest Resort in Redmond. “That was a pretty rough year, and I think most of us feel like consumer confidence is bouncing back.

Hopefully, it’s more than just the weather — although we can’t discount the impact that weather has on our sport.”

Many golf courses this year have indeed opened earlier than normal. And relatively mild winter weather has raised hopes for better conditions earlier in the golf season.

The weather has some players out on the fairways at a time in March when golfers in the region are often still stuck indoors.

Black Butte Ranch, for instance, opened all 18 holes of its Big Meadow course last week and has had nine holes open since early March. That is the earliest opening Jeff Fought can remember since he became the resort’s director of golf 10 years ago.

An early opening should bode well for the condition of the golf course when pro golf’s Masters tournament is played in Augusta, Ga., April 8-11 — that’s when the golf season truly begins to heat up, Fought says.

“When golf starts getting exciting is when the Masters comes on,” Fought says. “And it’s nice to be able to have a golf course open for when the Masters comes in the first week of April. People are going to be way ahead of their schedule on that.”

Nice weather could help the courses that have yet to open, too, says Scott Ellender, director of golf at Sunriver Resort.

“We’re excited about what (conditions) we are seeing … and how we’ve weathered through the winter,” Ellender says. “I think people are starting to think golf a little

bit sooner this spring than they did last year — which is good.

So I think we are going to hit the ground running, in regards to both conditions as well as traffic, faster than we did last spring.”

Golf courses count heavily on retail sales in a normal year. Last year, however, the economy undercut that end of the business.

It is still uncertain whether retail sales — of products such as golf balls, hats and golf clubs — will bounce back this season.

Eagle Crest, though, has already surpassed its March goals for merchandise sales, Buerger says.

“We are just slaughtering what we did last year,” Buerger says.

“Granted, the weather has helped, and our rounds are probably up a little bit, but that is a good sign. I think what we’re seeing is that consumer confidence is improving.”

Still, the golf industry is not out of the woods.

“It’s recovery, but 2010 is not going to fix everything,” Ellender says. “We are not going to get back to ’07 levels. But if we can gradually climb back this year and continue that into ’11, I do think in the foreseeable couple years to come we can get back to the heyday of the ’06, ’07 levels of business.”

And even a modest improvement over 2009 would be a welcome change at most area golf courses.

Golf facilities generally are running more efficiently after spending the last two years trimming expenses. And most courses are offering deals to help bring golfers back.

Will it be enough to improve over last year?

“I think it is going to be good for all the golf courses in Central Oregon, I really do,” says Meadow Lakes pro Roberts. “There are a lot of deals out there to get (players) interested. So I think that is a plus for the golfers. And if they come back, it will help all of our golf courses.”

Zack Hall can be reached at 541-617-7868 or at zhall@bendbulletin.com.

Charles Bolden as he unveiled the strategic shift Feb. 1.

Using rockets to blast humans into low-Earth orbit is 50-yearold technology, the administration contends. Rather than tying up NASA resources, such flights should be outsourced to major NASA partners such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin Corp. and upstarts like SpaceX, the rocket company founded by Internet magnate Elon Musk.

“What Obama wants to do is radical,” said Caceres, aerospace analyst with Virginia’s Teal Group. “These companies will serve as the pioneers of many, many industries that we have not fathomed yet.”

Obama would fund private contractors by scrapping NASA’s current space exploration program, Constellation, writing off the $9 billion already spent to return to the moon and eventually land humans on Mars. The president proposed to boost NASA’s $19 billion budget by $6 billion over the next five years, with most of the increase used to seed commercial development.

However, critics claim that without an exploration program to keep NASA’s goals in focus, the agency’s research will devolve into a “science fair” whose funding eventually will be gutted by Congress without fear of political repercussions.

“Everybody who cares about the space program is skeptical about the president’s space agenda,” said Loren Thompson, a defense and aerospace analyst with the Lexington Institute. “It’s not that the agenda is pointless, but it sounds like a pretext for abandoning goals.”

Boeing is caught in the middle of the debate, because it is a major contractor for the Constellation program, space station and shuttle, and is angling to develop the orbiter’s commercial replacement. If Constellation is canceled and the shuttle retired, Boeing will lose billions of dollars in revenue and could lay off as many as 1,450 people. It’s unclear whether the aerospace manufacturer will be able to offset those losses, Boeing officials said.

What replaces the shuttle?

NASA had planned to depend on Russia’s Soyuz rockets to reach the International Space Station after President George W. Bush set a 2010 deadline for ending the shuttle program. By mid-decade, Orion, an Apollo-like capsule that would ride atop a new family of rockets known as Ares, would be ready for launch. Later iterations would ferry U.S. astronauts to the moon and onward to deep space.

But Constellation has been

Fallout Continued from A1 The objection is part of the GOP’s retaliation against Democrats for what Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky called “outrageous” legislative maneuvers used to pass the health care bill in a statement earlier this month.

Energy and Natural Resources Committee spokesman Bill Wicker said the objection canceled all U.S. Senate hearings Tuesday.

“The Republicans are in a foul mood over this health care stuff, and they’re going to object to everything,” Wicker said.

“You have a bill that represents a common-sense solution and diverse partners coming together to get something done. ... To have this be a casualty of the harsh debate over health care is really unfortunate.”

— Brent Fenty, Oregon Natural Desert Association

The wilderness bill The wilderness bill calls for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to swap several fragmented parcels with two private landowners and the Young Life Christian ministry, which operates the Washington Family Ranch in northeast Jefferson and southern Wasco counties. (The Young Life camp is located on the site of the former Big Muddy Ranch, which was operated by the Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh from 1981 to 1985 as Rancho Rajneesh.)

The BLM would trade about 14,124 acres of federal land for 10,182 acres of private land. The land values would have to be appraised as equal for the swap to go forward.

Oregon Natural Desert Association Executive Director Brent Fenty said it’s disappointing a bill with nearly no opposition was held up by partisan squabbling.

“You have a bill that represents a common-sense solution and diverse partners coming together to get something done,” Fenty said.

“A criticism of politics right now is that it’s so partisan. To have this be a casualty of the harsh debate over health care is really unfortunate.”

Republican strategy Forrest Reinhardt, a consultant for Young Life, took a red-eye flight to Washington to testify at the hearing. He held out hope the hearing would be rescheduled for today. He laughed when asked about his issue running afoul of

the health care reform debate.

Compared with the larger politics involved, “this is like the flea on the tick on the tail of the dog,” Reinhardt said.

Reinhardt said his testimony would have focused on his efforts with the Oregon Natural Desert Association and Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden’s office to build support for the proposal. The bill has been endorsed by the Redmond chapter of the Oregon Hunters Association, along with nearly every local environmental and recreation group.

“On our end, we’re pretty much done,” Reinhardt said.

It was unclear which lawmaker issued the objection Tuesday. McConnell’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Wyden, the bill’s sponsor, said the canceled hearings were a symptom of partisanship run amok.

“I think what’s happened today is the far right and the far left continue to get more visibility, more attention, and it feeds on itself,” Wyden said. “The only path out of this, the only path that brings the country together and breaks this damaging, corrosive polarization, is senators saying, look, we just Treating all Foot Conditions

gotta find ways to put the country first.”

Wyden pointed to his efforts at bipartisan legislation, from his health care reform proposal, which attracted several Republican co-sponsors, to his current tax reform bill, co-sponsored with Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H. Wyden’s co-sponsor on the Healthy Americans Act, Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, has since distanced himself from the bill under heavy pressure from conservatives. Wyden said that happens when “windows of opportunity” for bipartisanship are missed.

“You bet people tend to go off into their positions that the party system promotes when you can’t get a bipartisan effort out there with a head of steam,” Wyden said. “But I continue to believe that you should put every effort

into it, particularly when there are these windows of opportunity, and there surely was one in the spring of 2009.”

Norman Ornstein, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, said lawmakers have objected to hearings in the past to make a point, but only rarely. Ornstein said Republicans may find themselves labeled as the “party of no” if they stick to an obstructionist strategy.

“I think it’s a stupid strategy, to tell you the truth,” Ornstein said.

“If what (voters) see is a bunch of obstructionist tactics offering point of order after point of order, amendment after amendment, I just don’t think it looks very good.”

Though they remain highest in state and Jefferson counties came in at 12.9 and 14.2 percent, respectively.

Lower seasonally adjusted rates for 2010 may mean that job loss in Central Oregon is stabilizing, said Carolyn Eagan, the Oregon Employment Department’s regional economist for Central Oregon. Even so, it’s too early to tell if they indicate anything more positive, Eagan said. The reason the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate — which takes employment trends, such as seasonal layoffs, into account — is coming down is because job loss in Central Oregon’s three counties was less drastic during December 2009 and January and February 2010 than during the same time over the last few years, Eagan said.

“I think it’s really telling us that we have to wait until next month to indicate a trend,” Eagan said.

Pay czar cuts salaries for top executives WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s pay czar on Tuesday announced further pay cuts for top executives at five U.S. firms still receiving substantial help from the federal government, saying the vast majority of cash salaries will remain at $500,000 or less.

The rulings by Kenneth Feinberg, the administration’s special master for compensation, apply to 119 executives at American International Group, General Motors, Chrysler, GMAC and Chrysler Financial.

During a briefing at the Treasury Department, Feinberg said that he would reduce cash payments to the top 25 executives at each of the companies by 33 percent, on average, compared with 2009 levels. He said total 2010 compensation — which includes company stock — would also decline.

Geithner: Freddie, Fannie need overhaul WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told a congressional panel considering the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Tuesday that the Obama administration would seek to keep in place aspects of the housing-finance system that have worked well during the past few decades as it overhauls the parts that did not.

In response to questioning, Geithner said mortgagefinance giants Fannie and Freddie were at the center of a system that “was in many ways the envy of the world” for many decades. “It’s important as we think about the future to make sure we retain what was good in this system,” he said.

But the Treasury secretary said the old system will not be recreated, and that Fannie and Freddie’s status as shareholder-owned companies with the implicit backing of taxpayers would end. “We’re going to have to do fundamental change,” Geithner said, adding that the government would make clear what it stands behind and what it doesn’t.

Existing home sales fall 0.6% in February WASHINGTON — Sales of existing homes fell for a third straight month in February, pushing sales down to the lowest level since last July. There is concern the fragile housing rebound is faltering, making it harder for the overall economy to recover.

The National Association of Realtors said Tuesday that sales of previously occupied homes dropped 0.6 percent in February to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.02 million.

The weakness in sales depressed prices, with the median home price dropping almost 2 percent from a year ago to $165,100.

China minus Google: lucrative, but insular Thriving homegrown Internet companies likely to be walled off from global market

By David Barboza New York Times News Service

SHANGHAI — Even before Google began threatening to shut down its search service in China, it was not fitting in.

Google and other major American Internet companies like Yahoo and eBay failed to gain significant traction in the Chinese market. And Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are blocked by the government.

Instead, the hottest companies in the world’s biggest Internet market have names like Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba — fast-growing local firms that are making huge profits. Post-Google, China’s Internet market could increasingly resemble a lucrative, walled-off bazaar, experts say. Those homegrown successes, however, could have trouble becoming global brands.

“If the Chinese government continues to favor domestic companies, those companies that reach critical mass could become phenomenally profitable,” said Gary Rieschel, founder of

Qiming Ventures, an American venture capital firm with investments in China.

“But it may be hard for those companies to become world class without outside competition.”

Still, the success of Chinese companies here can be measured by the numbers.

Clear One’s last big step in merger: shareholder approval

By Tim Doran The Bulletin

Clear One Health Plans of Bend began sending letters and proxy statements to shareholders Tuesday, seeking their approval to merge the company with PacificSource Health Plans of Eugene.

Shareholder approval will be the last major step in the merger, now that state insurance officials have signed off on the plan.

Regulators with the Insurance Division of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services approved the merger March 17, said spokeswoman Cheryl Martinis.

Clear One received approval earlier from federal Medicaid and Medicare officials, the company said in a news release, and approval from the state Division of Medical Assistance Programs, which oversees the Oregon Health Plan, is expected by the end of the week, said spokeswoman Nelsa Brodie. Clear One also handles patients under the Oregon Health Plan.

Under the merger, which the health insurance companies announced in late December, Clear One would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PacificSource, a private company founded in 1933 that now provides insurance services statewide and has additional offices in Bend, Medford and Portland, and Boise, Idaho.

PacificSource will pay $26 per share of Clear One stock to acquire the company. Clear One closed on Tuesday above $25 per share in over-the-counter trading, although in the six months before the merger was announced, the stock’s closing price ranged from around $7.50 a share in July to $12 a share in September.

Worker shortage is coming, according to report

By Ruth Mantell MarketWatch

WASHINGTON — With millions of unemployed people across the country struggling to find work, it may seem unbelievable that there could be more jobs than workers to fill them in coming years, but a new report predicts exactly that.

A worker shortage could develop within 10 years as baby boomers reach traditional retirement age and there are too few replacement workers, according to the report published Monday by the MetLife Foundation and San Francisco-based Civic Ventures, a think tank focusing on baby boomers, work and social purpose.

“When the nation comes out of the current jobs recession — and this may take two to three years — we will begin to see spot shortages in labor markets,” according to the report.

Jobless

former lumber yard employee, was at the WorkSource Bend office on March 9 looking through job listings. He was laid off a year ago, after working in his field for 24 years.

“I’m looking for anything,” said Wilson, who previously made $16 an hour. “Right now, I’ll take a minimum wage job.”

Although they regularly fluctuate, WorkSource Bend’s job listings have increased slightly to 149 since January, said Katy Fitzsimons, a supervisor of employment services for the Employment Department. But that is down drastically from 2007, when there were about 500 at any given time, she said.

Fitzsimons said WorkSource Bend offers free computer and job skills classes, a potential asset to individuals who, like Wilson, may have spent careers in one field and now need to learn new professions.

“All those classes are open to folks who want to skill up,” Fitzsimons said. “If you’re not getting that second interview, or that first interview, come in and brush up on your skills.”

Continued from B1 Deschutes County lost 90 jobs from January to February, a month that in the pre-recession economy typically saw job gains. But the county had a much more drastic loss — 820 jobs — during the same period last year.

Leisure and hospitality services was one of two Deschutes County industries with job gains in February.

Crook County lost 160 jobs in February 2009, compared with 50 in February of this year. Professional and business services was the only industry in Crook County to add jobs.

Job losses in Jefferson County are slightly higher this year at 60, compared with 50 in February 2009. No industries added jobs in the county.

Central Oregon lost so many jobs during 2007, 2008 and 2009 that the area is going to either have to lose a large portion of its population or gain many more jobs before the economy stabilizes, Eagan said.

“We have a ways to recover,” Eagan said.

Continued from B1 The story behind the success of these companies is a simple one, some analysts say.

The young people who dominate Web use in China are not just searching for information; they’re searching for a lifestyle.

They are passionate about downloading music, playing online games and engaging in social networking.

“Sixty percent of the Internet users here are under the age of 30,” said Richard Ji, an Internet analyst at Morgan Stanley. “In the U.S., it’s the other way around. And in the U.S. it’s about information. But in China, the No. 1 priority is entertainment.”

Experts say American companies have largely failed here because they don’t have local expertise, are too slow to adapt and don’t know how to deal with the Chinese government.

“Internet companies in China have to work so closely with the

Shortage

While the company has no plans to eliminate employees, Hansen said, the merging of two insurance companies may result in duplicate jobs. So some workers may be affected.

“Right now, it’s going to be a small percentage of our employee base,” he said.

Clear One also has no plans to leave the 78,000-square-foot headquarters building located east of Northeast 27th Street that opened in 2008.

The company does not occupy the whole building, which has space available on 1.5 floors for lease.

PacificSource, Hansen said, may even move some of its employees into the building at some point.

Continued from B1 Shareholders still must approve the merger, and results of their voting will be announced April 23 at a shareholders meeting at Clear One’s office on Bend’s east side, said Gunnar Hansen, executive vice president and chief financial officer.

If the merger is approved, Clear One’s 48,000 members should not notice any changes in their health insurance.

“This transaction will not affect their policies whatsoever,” he said Tuesday.

Whether Clear One will change its name at some point is unclear and one of the issues the companies must work out, Hansen said. Clear One does not want to confuse policyholders, although it will become a subsidiary of PacificSource.

Clear One has 110 employees, most of whom work in its offices on Northeast Conners Avenue.

China

Continued from B1 “If the economy continues to improve, the spot shortages will become more general, and we will experience the shortages our research projects.”

How did the report’s authors arrive at this conclusion? First, government analysts expect 14.6 million new nonfarm payroll jobs will be created between 2008 and 2018. Including self-employed workers, family members working in family businesses and workers in farming the total hits 15.3 million new jobs.

Next, given the government’s projected population growth and current labor force participation rates — and assuming no major changes in immigration — there will be about 9.1 million additional workers over the same time period. Taking into account multiple job holders, the total

government,” said Xiao Qiang, of the China Internet project at the University of California, Berkeley. “And that means the government’s political agenda can become the company’s business agenda.”

The need to censor Web sites, for example, can overwhelm smaller companies, Xiao said.

“This becomes a growing business cost. So often, small companies don’t develop.”

At this stage, analysts say the Web in China is less about innovation than about quickly delivering on the latest online trend.

“People here are quick to see trends, and to clone and innovate,” said William Bao Bean, a former Internet analyst who is now a partner at Softbank China & India Holdings. “If one company is doing well, other companies will quickly clone it and roll it out.”

No company is better at that than Tencent, which is based in the southern city of Shenzhen.

The company’s biggest weapon is a popular instant messag-

ing service called QQ. Its 500 million active users give the company an advantage when it introduces new products and offerings, like online games.

Tencent was founded in 1998 by a group of friends that included Ma Huateng, also known as Pony, who is now its 38-yearold billionaire chief executive.

With Tencent commanding a stock market value of $37.2 billion, the only global Internet companies that are worth more are Google ($173.7 billion) and Amazon ($57.2 billion).

But there are other Chinese powerhouses. Baidu, which dominates the market for search advertising in China, is expected to benefit from Google’s departure, even though its own search engine is heavily censored. (Microsoft’s search engine, Bing, which remains censored, could also gain users.)

One advantage local companies have is government protectionism. Because the Communist Party wants to maintain tight control over communication and the media, foreign In-

ternet companies come under suspicion.

For instance, YouTube has been blocked inside the country for over a year, ever since a user uploaded a video that was said to show human rights violations in Tibet.

YouTube, which is owned

by Google, had a large following here. But now online video in China is being championed by companies like Youku.com and Tudou.com. They may have dominated anyway, analysts say, but it certainly helps to have few big competitors.

But some experts say Google’s departure will leave Internet users here with fewer options, making the country’s Internet market less competitive and less open.

“The biggest loser is Netizens,” says Fang Xingdong, chief executive of Chinalabs. com, a research firm. “Google is a multi-linguistic search engine, but Baidu is a Chinese-language one. Chinese information only occupies a small fraction of the Internet.”

number of jobs expected to be filled is 9.6 million.

Finally, subtracting the projected number of filled jobs from the expected number of new jobs results in a range of 5 million to 5.7 million vacant jobs. However, using projected labor force participation rates — baby boomers are not expected to retire at as high a rate as earlier cohorts of older workers — there would be 3.3 million to 4 million vacant jobs, according to the report.

“While things look very dark at this moment in terms of the employment situation, unless this is an unbelievably unusual recession we will come out of it, and when we come out of it we may find ourselves first experiencing spot shortages in key fields, such as health,” said report co-author Barry Bluestone, an economist and founding director of Northeastern University’s Kitty and Michael Dukakis Center for Ur-

ban and Regional Policy.

“And if we get projected growth, there could be pretty broad shortages, and we need to find a way to fill those jobs,” he said.

Still, not everyone agrees with the report’s projected job shortage.

Harry Holzer, an economist at Georgetown University and the Urban Institute, said he’s skeptical about a projected longer-term worker shortage. A combination of new technology and globalization could constrain job growth, he said.

“I’m willing to acknowledge that you can have shortages for short periods of time. At the occupational level, there are some areas, especially health care, where demand is outstripping supply of workers. But an economywide shortage of workers? I don’t think so,” Holzer said.

Labor markets adjust — if more workers are needed then

wages will increase, Holzer said.

He added that part of the adjustment will require workers retiring later, and that such a trend has already started, in part because of better health and more workers in white-collar jobs. Insufficient retirement savings and losses in the stock and housing markets also add to the need to work longer. “All those factors would lead people to delay retirement,” Holzer said.

Terrebonne man given 15 years in wife’s death

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

When police found Sandra Meyer lying on a loveseat in her Terrebonne home last year, she was so thin that paramedics struggled to wrap a cuff around her arm to take her blood pressure.

Covered with abrasions and bedsores, Meyer told responders she was unable to Paul Meyer move because of a condition that caused temporary nerve paralysis — and said her husband, Paul Meyer, hadn’t bathed her or taken her to the bathroom in more than a month. She was taken to the hospital and died several days later.

On Tuesday, before he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for manslaughter and criminal mistreatment, Paul Meyer told a Deschutes County Circuit Court Judge that he never intended to hurt the woman he’d been married to for more than 35 years.

“I did love my wife,” he said, his voice shaking. “This is all too much for me to grasp, but I know I have to face responsibility. I did not want this to happen.

I didn’t want to lose my wife or my family.”

Meyer, 58, was arrested in May and later charged with murder, manslaughter, assault and criminal mistreatment in connection with his wife’s death. This month, after a series of negotiations between his attorney and the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office, Meyer agreed to plead guilty to manslaughter and criminal mistreatment, and the other charges were dropped.

Before she issued the 15-year sentence, Judge Alta Brady listened to testimony from several of the Meyers’ family members.

They urged her to be lenient in her sentence for Paul Meyer, who they said had been overwhelmed by the task of caring for his sick wife and didn’t ask for help because Sandra Meyer said she didn’t want to go to the hospital.

Crook County backtracks on bonds One developer got one; now there are claims of favoritism

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

The Crook County Court used an obscure section of county code to help a local rancher develop his land last October, despite concerns of favoritism.

Now, after another developer expressed interest in the same deal, county officials are trying to wipe the code from the books.

Dave Molony, of Scappoose, who is developing two subdivisions in Crook County, said that when he heard the county had issued a bond to help a local rancher, he asked for the same treatment. That was in November. In January, the court decided the code was too convoluted to use again and recommended removing it. Molony said he’s still

waiting to hear from the county court on whether he could be considered for a personal bond.

Crook County officials aided the Breese family, despite opposition from a county commissioner and locals who claimed the court was playing favorites. “(Judge Mike) McCabe and (Ken) Fahlgren went out of their way to give bonding to

the Breese family, and when I applied for the same bonding in November, well, here it is March, and we’ve heard nothing positive,” said Molony. “Now we hear they are trying to change the laws so the same laws would not apply to me or any other developer.”

Commissioner Lynn Lundquist said the court shouldn’t be in the position of issuing bonds and made a mistake giving the Breese family one. He was

the only commissioner to vote against giving the Breese family a personal bond so the family could finish the infrastructure on its property and start selling lots.

Lundquist said he understands where Molony is coming from, but it doesn’t change his position.

“Yes, you should treat everyone the same; however we change the law as time goes on.

Delays on Cloverdale bridge project

Andy Tullis / The Bulletin

Work continues Monday on a replacement bridge on Cloverdale Road near Sisters. A construction mistake that caused steel pipes to float to the top in newly poured concrete has caused delays in the bridge replacement.

Workers had put in pipes for the culvert and poured in a sand, cement and water fill mixture around them, said George Kolb with the Deschutes County Road Department. They had equipment on top of the culvert to weigh it down,

THE LEARNING FLOWS NATURALLY

but when they removed an excavator bucket, two sections of pipe floated up.

The county is now planning to dig up and replace some of the fill and the floating pipes; the replacement work is scheduled to be completed next week.

The replacement adds about $13,000 to the $90,000 price tag for the bridge budget, said Tom Blust, the road department director. The new bridge is part of a larger overhaul of Cloverdale Road, which will cost about $1 million.

Sisters sued over gas tax Gas distributor argues vote failed to meet deadline for gas taxes

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

American Energy Inc., a gas distribution company, has sued the city of Sisters, arguing that the city’s 3-centper-gallon gas tax voters passed on March 9 should not be implemented.

The Oregon Petroleum Association, which is supporting the lawsuit with legal help, led an effort to put the tax on

the March ballot in Sisters, Redmond and Madras. Sisters voters were the only ones to approve the tax, which the City Council approved in September.

The date of the council vote and the election will be the core of the legal arguments for both sides.

The complaint filed by American Energy on March 12 in Deschutes County Circuit Court argues the election came after a September gas tax deadline set by a state transportation bill. If cities missed the September deadline, the bill prevented them from creating a new gas tax until 2014.

The city counters that the council vote, and not the vote by residents, set the tax and beat the bill’s deadline.

“This is not like a complex legal theory,” said the association’s Executive Director Paul Romain, an attorney who is also representing American Energy. “This is pretty basic.”

There are 19 local gas taxes, and Eugene has the most expensive at 5 cents.

No other Central Oregon cities have local taxes.

The lawsuit does not prevent the city from implementing the tax, though if Sisters lost the case it could have to refund all collected tax, Romain said.

Sisters has 30 days to respond to the lawsuit. Mayor Lon Kellstrom said city attorney Steve Bryant is preparing the response.

Man hurt in bottle explosion at McMenamins

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

Diane S.W. Lee / The Bulletin

Cascades Academy junior Marley Bergen prepares to drop a pine cone into Mirror Pond on Thursday to help measure water speed. Academy students dedicate one day a week to visiting various sites along the Deschutes River to examine water quality in a variety of ways. They will continue their study until April and present their findings at a watershed summit in May. To read the full story, see Local Schools, Page C3.

A visitor at McMenamins Old St. Francis School in downtown Bend was injured Monday evening when a plastic bottle he found in the hotel’s soaking pool exploded in his hand.

The 43-year-old Portland man was using the pool with his wife and two other people at 10:45 p.m. when he saw something floating in the water and picked it up, intending to throw it away.

The bottle blew up in the man’s hand shortly after he picked it up.

He suffered some lacerations to his hand and was treated at the scene by paramedics from the Bend Fire Department.

Police have not released many details about the explosion and are still

looking for suspects, but McMenamins property manager Jared Prince said hotel staff believe the bottle was filled with dry ice and tossed into the pool through an open-air skylight.

“Unfortunately no one saw anything, but we heard people on the roof,” Prince said. “Right at the exact time, the theater manager heard someone’s feet.”

Prince said staff members and police recovered parts of a plastic 2-liter Mountain Dew container at the scene.

Bend Police Lt. Paul Kansky said he couldn’t confirm that the bottle was filled with dry ice, but said it was clearly a “basic” explosive device.

“This was not a high-tech or electrical-type explosive device,” he said.

Kansky said he didn’t know of any similar incidents in Bend in the recent

past, but said officials in Bend and other communities have dealt with similar types of explosives in the past — and added that they can often be very dangerous.

“This guy was pretty lucky (the explosive device) wasn’t as powerful at the time,” he said.

Police say charges in the case would likely be assault, manufacture and possession of an explosive device and reckless endangering.

Prince said the explosion didn’t cause any damage to the pool, but the area was closed Tuesday.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Bend Police Department at 541-322-2960.

Man involved in fatal 2007 hit-and-run jailed A Bend man who was sentenced to probation for his role in the 2007 hit-and-run death of Kimberly Potter was arrested Monday on suspicion of drunken driving, assault, reckless driving and criminal mischief after his car struck a curb and rolled over in southeast Bend.

Eric Allen Brown, 23, was arrested around 9 p.m. after police were called to a single-vehicle crash at Southeast Reed Market Road and Southeast 27th Street.

Officers who responded to the

Featured Business of the Week:

scene found a Jeep Cherokee that had gone off the road and landed on its roof in the front yard of a property in the 61600 block of 27th Street, according to a news release from the Bend Police Department.

Investigators determined that Brown was driving the Jeep eastbound on Reed Market Road when he failed to make a left turn onto 27th Street, hit a curb on the east side of the intersection, and rolled the vehicle.

Brown’s passenger, Dylan T. James, 30, of Bend, was treated by medics for nonlife-threatening injuries and released at the scene.

Brown was lodged in the Deschutes County jail on $60,000 bail.

In 2007, Brown pleaded guilty to first-degree arson, hindering prosecution and dealing cocaine in connection with the death of Potter, who was hit by a car while she was riding her bicycle on Third Street in Bend. He was sentenced to three years’ probation and drug treatment.

Another man involved in Potter’s death is also back in the Deschutes County jail. Robert Jennings Battles, 22, who pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting arson, assault, hindering prosecution, tampering with a witness and two counts of selling the painkiller oxycodone, was jailed on Friday for violating his parole.

He is being held without bail.

Maddy and Marley were two of eight students from Cascades Academy, a private school in Bend, studying various sites along the Deschutes River on Thursday.

They spent about an hour on the river trail along Farewell Bend Park inspecting the water with different tools, sketching landscape drawings and taking down observations in their notebooks.

It was part of a science class project to test the change in the river’s stream flow and examine its water quality by inspecting macroinvertebrates and invasive aquatic plants.

“We’re just trying to figure out which site out of our sites is the most affected by humans, so that’s kind of what we’re doing,” said Maddy, a senior.

The junior and senior students visit four areas along the Deschutes River once a week, and will continue to do so through late April.

Science teacher Anne-Marie Eklund said the goal is for students to learn more about the river and gain an understanding of their surroundings.

“Students are investigating what the effects of the dam are on the Mirror Pond area, and they’re doing that by comparing different sections of the river to the Mirror Pond area,” Eklund said. “They are testing water quality of the different sections, and also plant and animal life that’s found there.”

Students capture their findings and observations in journal writings, images and video.

Students plan to present their findings and reflections at the

Meyer Continued from C1 The couple’s daughter, Cindy Dupree, 38, said she called police to ask them to check on her mother after receiving a call from her aunt, who had visited the Meyers and was worried about Sandra’s health.

Dupree said she talked to her mother every other day on the phone and had no reason to suspect that she was in such poor condition.

“I didn’t call 911 and ask them to check on my mom because I thought he’d done something to her,” Dupree said. “I knew she was stubborn, and it would take an ambulance to get her to the hospital.”

Lily Barnett, a family friend who was formerly married to Paul Meyer’s brother, said she stopped by the house in Terrebonne about a month before Sandra Meyer’s death.

During that visit, she said Sandra Meyer refused to be helped to the bathroom and became angry when Barnett suggested that they call an ambulance to take her to the hospital.

Senior Maddy Feldman, 18, inspects her fish net for any macroinvertebrates she caught along the Deschutes River near Farewell Bend Park. Maddy is one of eight Cascades Academy students studying the river’s stream flow and water quality. “We found one caddisfly — it’s just a little fly,” she said. “If you find it in the river, they’re really intolerant to the pollution. So it’s good if you can find them there, because it means that there’s not much pollution.” district-wide Students Speak: A Watershed Summit in mid-May. Students said they noticed a drop in the river’s water temperature along Farewell Bend Park, and recorded their findings.

“I felt Sandra had given up on life and was no longer willing to help us help her,” Barnett said.

But Deschutes County Deputy District Attorney Brentley Foster said Paul Meyer chose to give up on his wife and made a conscious decision not to get help. “(Sandra Meyer) told law enforcement that the defendant said to her, ‘I’ve been doing this for 35 years, and I’m not doing it anymore,’” Foster said.

Brady told Meyer that she didn’t buy the argument that he didn’t know his wife was in such bad shape or that he’d worried he’d hurt her feelings if he asked for help.

“I understand from your family that she was a strong-willed woman. …But there comes a time when other people have to step up to the plate and risk that wrath,” Brady said. “And that time came long before the ambulance came for her. It should have been obvious to the people who came (to visit), but most of all, it should have been obvious to you.”

They hopped on the school bus to their second destination, Mirror Pond in downtown Bend.

They did the same thing at Mirror Pond: They dropped a pine cone into the water, and

timed how long it took to float across the pond at a distance of 750 centimeters.

Two minutes and 38 seconds, Marley noted.

“Different (sites) have differ-

ent results,” she said. “(Farewell Bend Park), we just went there — it was colder and faster. (Mirror Pond) is more mellow.”

Maddy said she learned more about the environment around her.

“Mirror Pond has a lot more impact from people, and it’s not a free-flowing stream,” Maddy said. “It’s really slow and there’s a dam, so it’s obviously going to be slower and it’s man-made so there’s differences. And it’s definitely a lot more polluted, so compared to the other site, it’s really dirty.”

Eklund said it is a great community-building exercise for students.

“Even though the Deschutes River goes right through town and certainly all these kids have seen and been around the river for years — they may not have spent a lot of time thinking about it in terms of what the impacts are on it, how one site is different from another site,” she said. “And so it’s really nice to have this dedicated time to spend to just actually being here and thinking about it in a different way.”

Political subsidy vs. public schools

G

ubernatorial candidate Bill Bradbury believes that lawmakers can raise plenty of money for schools and other services by zapping some of the tax breaks that

will cost the state’s general fund nearly $31 billion during the 2009-11 biennium alone. There is some truth to what Bradbury says, though he’d be more convincing if he’d single out a few tax breaks for elimination. When we asked him to do that Tuesday, he refused.

We understand Bradbury’s reluctance to irritate any constituencies whose votes he’ll want in May. But we’re not running for anything, so we’ll offer up a softball. The state general fund, which pays for public schools among other things, will lose nearly $16 million this biennium thanks to a tax credit for political contributions. Single filers may claim a credit of up to $50 for donations to political parties, candidates and political action committees.

Joint filers may claim a credit of up to $100.

The credit is designed to encourage people to fork over money to political candidates like, oh, Bill Bradbury. To the extent that it works, it’s undoubtedly appreciated. Political advertising ain’t free, you know.

Forget for a moment whether the state’s tax code, as a matter of principle, ought to subsidize anyone’s political speech this heavily. Is political advertising really a better use of nearly $8 million per year than public education, human services and law enforcement? Surely not.

And what about the people who claim the tax credit? Could they afford to slip a few bucks to their favorite candidates and parties without it? Consider some statistics from

2008. According to the Department of Revenue, about 124,000 full-year taxpayers claimed the credit. That number represents 7.8 percent of all full-year taxpayers. Meanwhile, most of the people who claimed the credit — almost 63,000 — reported income in excess of $70,000. More than 17 percent of taxpayers in that range claimed the credit, which means it’s used most heavily by people who need it the least. Not that we mean to suggest anybody really needs the thing at all.

Last year, the Legislature created sunset dates for dozens of tax credits. Lawmakers don’t necessarily intend to kill them, of course. The point, rather, is to force supporters to justify their renewal. The politicalcontribution credit sunsets in 2014, which means that lawmakers will be forced during the 2013 session to articulate a believable argument in support of an unjustifiable subsidy that benefits them. We can’t wait.

Of course, there’s no reason lawmakers can’t have that discussion during next year’s session. We have no doubt they’ll leap at the chance.

After all, they couldn’t possibly believe that their campaigns deserve tax dollars more than public schools.

Keep labor negotiations open

W

acky can be as common in government as junipers on the High Desert, but we took special note this week of a grievance filed by the Portland police union.

The union complained because the city of Portland wants to hold contract negotiations with the police in an “unreasonable” way. The city wants to hold the negotiations in public.

That’s unreasonable?

Public negotiations are, in fact, the way Portland has conducted such meetings in the past. The city of Bend has made its negotiations public, too.

State law also makes it simple.

Public negotiations are the law in Oregon. Oregon law requires labor negotiations with a public body be conducted in the open unless both sides request that they be conducted in executive session.

The union’s lawyer, Will Aitchison, “argued that holding the sessions in public could inhibit a free flow of information,” according to

The Oregonian. He called the city’s stance “political.”

We’d call it admirable. Conducting negotiations in the open could, indeed, have a way of inhibiting discussions and proposals. Union and city negotiators will have to be conscious that the public is going to know what they say. Making the negotiations open also means the public will be able to follow them before the contract is essentially a done deal.

It may not be pretty to have all the negotiations in public. But it’s the public’s business that is being done.

Portland spends more than half of its general fund budget on public safety, with more than $150 million going to police. The public certainly has a right to know what benefits and wages the police union says it needs and what the city says the police deserve.

Oregon law requires open meetings to better ensure that government is responsible and accountable to the people it serves. There’s nothing unreasonable about that.

My Nickel’s Worth Stop big government I for one am very glad that my relatives in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the later part of the 18th century didn’t listen to advice similar to John Costa’s in his recent: “The smallgovernment folks will have to concede that big government is here to stay …”

This type of thinking did not occur to the men that boarded the Dartmouth to throw tea in Boston harbor and then fought a battle in Concord and Lexington against the world’s mightiest empire.

Interesting that the tax burden faced by the ancestors of these men is far larger today then when they took up arms against Great Britain.

Big government is the antithesis of freedom. So no, I do not and will not accept big government.

What happens if 10 percent or more of the productive people and businesses in Oregon do not pay taxes?

There aren’t enough jail cells to accommodate the protestors.

If “big government” means burdening future generations with debt, then I for one am wholly opposed to big government.

Editorial definition As I read the first paragraph in the “In My View” in the March 7 paper (“Bulletin editorial about Redmond teachers was shameful”) I am ashamed the teacher did not know what an editorial is. Webster’s Universal Encyclopedic Dictionary shows: EDITORIAL (noun) “a newspaper or magazine ar-

ticle that gives the opinion of the editor or publisher.” How much more “signed” can an editorial be?

Moral: Don’t preach without knowledge of all the facts.

Flawed review Thank you for taking the time to review our cafe. I would like to make you aware of a few small points that are a bit off in our recent review by John Anderson. As John’s review of lunch here at the Toucan was based upon only two basic items, I do not feel it did us justice. I’m confident you’ll agree that basing a food review off the two most basic things you can find on the menu (club wrap and chicken salad sandwich) might not do justice to the establishment you are visiting. Our tritip sandwich with pickled red onions, cilantro pesto, avocado and pepper jack cheese; or the margherita chicken with basil pesto mayo, swiss, and roma tomatoes, both on focaccia baked in house daily may have been a better choice to get the true essence of what we’re doing here.

A couple of other minor inaccuracies: All cheeses and meats are top quality and hand sliced and/or cooked in house, including the cheddar in our club wrap (article said cheese was processed).

We also have eight seats available outside (article said none).

I would also like to acknowledge Aren Booker, who runs the entire kitchen. Aren does everything from menu writing to preparation with the food

portion of the Toucan Cafe. I would like to give credit where it is due.

I would welcome a second review from John so that I may offer him some of our signature dishes rather than the ones we keep on the menu as crowd pleasers.

Low Oregon taxes Oregon residents’ tax freedom day is calculated as April 9. Washington residents’ tax freedom day is calculated as April 13, and Texas residents’ tax freedom day is calculated as April 6, only three days earlier. The business tax environment lists score Oregon as 5.59, Washington as 5.81 and Texas as 5.7 for 2010.

For those who have recently decried the business and individual tax environment in Oregon in The Bulletin and have threatened to move to Washington or Texas, I’m not sure why you would want to do that, but if you are heck bent on doing so because you think it will make you rich and famous, it looks from here like the latter will occur quite some time before the former.

If you are indeed planning to move, thanks for reducing the overcrowding at Oregon’s outdoor recreation venues. If, however, you were just, nudge, nudge, tossing the threat out and plan to stay here after all, please, please, no more about how badly Oregon is treating you regarding your tax burden compared to Washington or Texas.

Oligarchic collectivists, the Ivy League and liberals gone wild

By Afred Ferguson Bulletin guest columnist

“O

ligarchic collectivism:” fancy words that we Americans are slated to become very familiar with if Obama and his wrecking crew have their socialist/Marxist way with us.

Oligarchy is control or rule by insiders, a clique, a “nomenclatura,” as the Russian Bolsheviks termed it after the revolution of 1917, under the supreme rule of a “czar.” Collectivism is the Marxist/Leninist/socialist theory that “the people” should own the means of production and distribution of all goods and services with the aim of establishing “social justice.”

But if the people share ownership equally, how will goods and services be distributed? The state will decide. On what basis? Political favoritism? Political expediency? Wealth to the oligarchs at the summit of the control pyramid?

What is the state? It is the people.

Since the state is the people and the people are the state, there is absolute unity, while the oligarchy has all the power “in the name of the people.”

What if individuals among the people should get ideas about living their own lives by time-tested, established historical norms, standards and values? The state stands ready to “re-educate” and “correct” their thinking with innovative rules and regulations implemented by police and enforcement powers. No more individuals, only a conforming mass.

Obama and his wrecking crew knew they could never dump this load of collectivist nonsense onto freedom-loving, common-sensical American people all at once without risking outright armed rebellion by citizen/patriots.

So current collectivist oligarchs like Obama’s wrecking crew decided on a piecemeal approach — mainly by legislative manipulations, payoffs, backroom canoodling of one sort or another.

These are clever manipulators. But they do not live in the real world or value America’s exceptional and historic role in it, in spite of (or maybe because of?) expensive and extensive educations. In fact, America’s exception to the way much of the rest of the world lives is what they detest and want to destroy.

IN MY VIEW Obama himself attended Occidental College for two years, then transferred to Columbia, from there to Harvard Law. All of these places are expensive. His parents were not affluent, so how was it all financed? You didn’t see Obama scurrying about at minimum wage jobs as most financially averageto-poor American men and women must to get a college education. Scholarships if any are never complete. So what agent picked up the tab? Whoever or whatever it was, Obama the student got a solid, if not fanatical, grounding in oligarchic collectivism.

Was he “a committed Marxist” at Occidental, according to one of his professors? Obama’s Marxist passion, whatever it was, is now an undercurrent rather than above-ground commitment. To let the mask slip would be impolitic. For now, his agenda is revealed in the selection process of bureaucratic underlings — “czars” of something or other who are leftist ideologues, such as Van Jones, as well as operatives with a similar con-

tempt for America, like his peculiar attorney general Eric Holder.

Uproar by conservatives made continuance of Mr. Jones a negative for Obama. So Mr. Jones was unleashed into the night — to wind up as a lecturer at Princeton, where the rich go to be rich together.

Ah, yes, the Ivy League of privileged gentlemen and ladies. Van Jones at Princeton, while at Yale we have “Sex Week” — an annual celebration initiated by a Yale sophomore in 2002, with the blessing of the administration, devoted to exploring “love, sex, intimacy” and related concerns “freely and without inhibitions.”

So there it is, in front of God and everybody, Sex Week at Yale. No, not God, just everybody — or, every body. As William F. Buckley observed in his “God and Man at Yale,” God departed Yale for greener pastures long since.

If not too enervated by Sex Week, these lords and ladies of privilege would do well to dip into something far more relevant to their future: “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” (Edward Gibbon).

The students would discover something curious about Sex Week at Yale that none of the sponsors or programmers will mention even assuming they have the knowledge or the integrity to do so.

Any authoritative or authoritarian unleashing of the libido invariably accompanies the imposition of tyranny, the elimination of privacy in all respects, the enslavement of the self for some purpose determined by the oligarchy, and, finally, the death of the individual soul — in the context of abandoning common sense.

There is no time in history when the one has not been accompanied by the others. Aldous Huxley in “Brave New World” dramatically demonstrates causes and consequences. It is fiction, but the best fiction captures reality convincingly, enduringly.

But maybe the Sex Week participants are past caring. They may be modern liberals, thus devoid of common sense.

In that case it’s merely “sweets to the sweet.”

FRONTS

Bonds Continued from C1 “For example, take land use, when I bought this (ranch) there were certain things I could do but the law has since changed,” Lundquist said.

“Two wrongs don’t make a right,” he said.

Molony said if the commissioners remove the code from the books, he won’t be able to sell his lots and will have to wait for the market to change. He believes finishing paving a road and digging some wells would create about 10 jobs.

In order to sell lots in Crook County, the code requires the infrastructure be finished or the developer post a bond assuring the work will eventually be completed. Doug Breese and his family subdivided a section of their ranch into 10 lots. Usually, the developer goes through an insurance agency or puts enough money in the bank as collateral. But Breese Ranch LLC quickly found an insurance agency wouldn’t give it a surety bond, and the family didn’t have enough money to put up as collateral.

So the Crook County Court decided to help the longtime local rancher by giving him a personal bond, guaranteeing the work will eventually be completed.

The Breeses can start selling their lots without completing the infrastructure, and the county is the one on the hook if the work isn’t complete. The money to complete the work will come from the sold lots.

Lundquist opposed the move, but McCabe and Fahlgren supported it.

At the time, Fahlgren said

Gas tax Continued from C1 “I believe we’re going to prevail, as a matter of fact,” Kellstrom said. “We think we’ve got a pretty strong case.”

Sisters projects it will raise about $126,000 annually from the gas tax, and plans to use the money on road maintenance, snow removal and some salaries for road maintenance staff. About 75

it was an effort to help someone during a difficult economic time.

McCabe said the county wouldn’t lose money. The Breeses had about $175,000 worth of work to be done. The county put a trust deed on five lots, which are appraised at $585,000. If the work isn’t done, the county can take the property, sell it and create funds for the construction of infrastructure on the lots.

“I had mixed feelings, since we let the horse out of the barn to start with, shouldn’t we let everyone do it from that point on?

But I believe it’s such a bad policy that it needed to be changed,” Lundquist said.

“It’s ridiculous, because it puts the county in the land development and banking business and that’s not a role for government,” he said.

Molony still has hope; the Crook County Planning Commission has recommended the court keep the option as a tool in a down economy. The court doesn’t have to take the planning commission’s recommendation.

“I believe in today’s economic climate it’s a workable and viable option for small, local developers to use,” said Bill Gowen, who is on the planning commission. “Removing it would put a roadblock on those individuals.

We need to encourage those actions and activities rather than discourage.”

The County Court will decide whether to move forward with amending or removing that section of the code. Discussion on the county’s involvement with personal bonding is not yet on an agenda.

Romain was surprised by the election result in Sisters, but he had long promised to sue if any city’s voters approved the tax.

“We were hoping this wouldn’t have gotten as far as it did,” Romain said. “Such is life.”

Tetherow opens gates to junior golfers Youngsters who are age 12 to 17 can play for free at the Bend golf course after 3 p.m. for the 2010 season

The Bulletin

Afternoons this year, Bend’s Tetherow Golf Club will likely be attracting a younger crowd.

The semiprivate golf club, which opened in summer 2007, plans to of-

fer free golf to players age 12 through 17 after 3 p.m. every day through the 2010 golf season.

What’s the catch?

There is none, says Martin Chuck, the club’s director of golf. The offering is just a way to hook youngsters

on golf.

“Enthusiasm for golf starts at a young age,” Chuck says. “When you start young, it’s so much easier to become a proficient player.”

Tetherow is not the first golf course in Central Oregon to offer freebies for juniors, and nearly every area public golf course offers a junior discount.

Birdies 4 Babies fundraiser returns

ORLANDO, Fla. — Sudden death has gotten a little less sudden in the NFL playoffs.

The league on Tuesday changed its overtime rules for postseason games. Starting next season, if a team wins the coin toss and then kicks a field goal, the other team gets the ball. If that next series ends with another field goal, play will continue under the current sudden-death rules.

If the team winning the toss immediately scores a touchdown, however, the game is over.

Team owners voted 28-4 on Tuesday in favor of the proposal at the NFL meetings. Minnesota, Buffalo, Cincinnati and Baltimore opposed the change.

Passage was helped by commissioner Roger Goodell’s support and by a spate of statistics indicating the coin toss had become too prominent in determining OT winners.

Minnesota lost last season’s NFC championship game in overtime to New Orleans. The Saints won the toss, drove downfield and kicked a field goal to win.

“Modified sudden death is an opportunity to make a pretty good rule ... even better,” said Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay, cochairman of the competition committee. “Statistically, it needed to change. It wasn’t producing the ‘fairest result.’ ” Those statistics showed that since 1994, the team that won the overtime coin toss won the game on the first possession 34 percent of the time.

Though the Cougars did not match Monday’s offensive stats — Mountain View tallied 27 hits in Monday’s back-to-back wins over Wilsonville and Sheldon — the Cougars did play 11 innings of error-free softball in its win against the Hawks and its 4-1 loss to Lincoln in the morn-

ing. (Mountain View ended the game against La Pine after five innings because of the 10-run mercy rule.)

“I’m really proud of this team and how they played in this tournament,” said Cougar coach Alana Dusan, whose team is off until its Intermountain Conference opener at Madras on April 1. “Finishing with a win today is good for confidence, especially as we start league play.”

La Pine left fielder Cassandra Roes stretches to catch a foul ball during the third inning against Mountain View.

the first inning to take a lead they never relinquished. Mountain View added two runs in the second, one more in the third, and four runs in the fourth inning. Cougar catcher Whitney Bigby recorded a double, as did teammates Molly Thompson and Mikayla Bateman.

ANTHEM, Ariz. — Summit posted its first win of the season, outslugging Juneau Douglas of Alaska 10-7 during the second day of the 47team Bob National Invitational baseball tournament just north of Phoenix.

Senior Chase Aldridge pitched into the seventh inning, striking out six while allowing five runs to pick up the win for the Storm.

“For an early-season game, he did a great job,” Summit coach C.J. Colt said about Aldridge. “He gave up two runs in the first, but after that he settled down.”

The Storm, the designated home team, got back those two runs and more in the bottom of the first when they scored four runs in their first at-bat. Austin Jones’ two-run double highlighted the inning for Summit, which led 8-2 by the end of the third inning.

Landon Frost had the big bat for the Storm (1-2 overall), going two for three with a triple, a run scored and three runs batted in. Jones added two hits and two RBIs and Cody Absalon contributed three hits and three runs scored.

Summit plays host Boulder Creek (Ariz.) High School today at 3:30 p.m. in its final game of pool play. Bracket play starts Thursday.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NCAA TOURNAMENT

Romar’s steady hand is key to Washington’s success

By Tim Booth The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Lorenzo Romar doesn’t vary from the core teaching principles that are largely responsible for Washington’s unprecedented success since he took over the basketball program in 2002.

Even two months ago, when the Huskies were at the lowest point in their ragged season, sitting 3-5 in conference play and winless on the road, his message and demeanor remained the same. He kept challenging his players to be better when they were good, and boosting their fallen egos when they struggled.

With the Huskies looking up from the bottom of the Pac-10, critics and message boards

lit up wondering if Romar was the right coach for Washington’s future.

Now that the Huskies are winners of nine straight and headed to the NCAA tournament regional semifinals for the third time in Romar’s tenure, those same fans are wondering if this has been the finest coaching job by the two-time Pac10 coach of the year.

The 11th-seeded Huskies face No. 2 seed West Virginia on Thursday night in Syracuse, N.Y. “He’s pretty much been consistent. Even when we weren’t playing at a certain level he coached at a certain level and now we’re starting to try and match that level he’s coaching at,” forward Justin Holiday said. “He knows the way he wants it. He’s not going to change. He’s going to keep it the same until we figure it out.”

S B Skiing • Mancuso takes U.S. giant slalom title: Julia Mancuso won the giant slalom in the U.S. alpine skiing championships on Tuesday at Whiteface Mountain in Wilmington, N.Y., becoming the most accomplished skier at nationals and taking her fourth title in the discipline. Mancuso beat Laurenne Ross, of Klamath Falls, who is a former Bend resident and Mount Bachelor Sports Education Foundation alumni, finishing in 2 minutes, 7.52 seconds to take her 11th national title in all. That moved her ahead of Andrea Mead Lawrence for the most titles of any American and broke a record that stood for 55 years. Ross finished second in 2:08.11, with the fastest second run. Sweden’s Malin Hemmingsson, a senior at the University of New Mexico and winner of three NCAA slalom championships, was third in 2:08.25. U.S. downhill champion Leanne Smith, of Conway, N.H., placed fourth. Ross was also third in the super G and second in the combined at Whiteface.

Baseball • Ducks stay hot, top Southern Utah: Catcher Eddie Rodriguez drove in four runs to back a solid pitching performance by Madison Boer as Oregon defeated Southern Utah 7-1 Tuesday night at PK Park in Eugene. Rodriguez led the Ducks by going three for three at the plate with two runs as, Oregon, 17-6, won for the 12th time in its last 13 games.

Basketball • Prosecutors ask for 3-month sentence for Arenas: Prosecutors are portraying Gilbert Arenas as a thuggish intimidator who tried to pressure his teammate into a cover-up, as they argue for a three-month jail sentence for the NBA star on a weapons charge. Arenas’ lawyer says his client is “a peaceful man” who played a misguided prank and has already been severely punished for bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room. He says the more fitting punishment is probation and community service. Both sides staked out their positions Tuesday in court filings, ahead of Friday’s sentencing in D.C. Superior Court.

• Ilgauskas signs deal to return to Cavs: Zydrunas Ilgauskas signed to play for the rest of the season in Cleveland and traveled with the Cavaliers to New Orleans on Tuesday. Coach Mike Brown said the center will likely play against the Hornets today. To make room on the roster, Cleveland waived second-year forward Darnell Jackson.

• W. Virginia PG Bryant out: West Virginia point guard Darryl “Truck” Bryant broke his right foot during practice Tuesday and will miss the rest of the NCAA tournament.

The second-seeded Mountaineers, who won the Big East tournament, play 11th-seeded Washington on Thursday night in Syracuse, N.Y., in the East Regional semifinals.

Hockey • NHL board of governors approves head shot rule: The NHL’s board of governors has unanimously approved the proposed penalty that would ban hits to the head against on an unsuspecting player. According to a statement released by the NHL, the timing and details of implementation are being worked on by the league’s hockey operations department and the players’ association. General managers first proposed the rule earlier this month.

Olympics • Sports dignitaries pay tribute to Georgian luger: The head of the Vancouver Olympics, an Olympic gold medalist and other dignitaries visited the hometown of the Georgian luger killed during a practice run at last month’s Winter Games. VANOC president John Furlong, luge gold medalist Felix Loch, International Luge Federation president Josef Fendt and other athletes and officials attended Tuesday’s ceremony in honor of Nodar Kumaritashvili.

The event marks 40 days after Kumaritashvili’s death in line with the rites of the Georgian Orthodox Church. Georgian Olympic Committee chief Georgy Natsvlishvili said a luge track will be built in Bakuriani in the athlete’s memory.

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NCAA TOURNAMENT

No. 1 UConn rolls to 74th straight victory The Associated Press NORFOLK, Va. — Connecticut was so good — nearly perfect — in the first half against Temple on Tuesday night that even one of their superstars, Maya Moore, was surprised.

“It was definitely a once-in-alifetime kind of a half,” Moore said.

The Huskies shot nearly 78 percent, held Temple to five field goals and 12 points and took a 43-point lead into the locker room. They coasted to a 90-36 victory in the second round of the NCAA women’s tournament, stretching their winning streak to 74 games.

“You go in wanting to feel like you’re going to hit every shot, but you don’t really think every single shot is going to go in,” Moore said after making all six of her shots, including three three-pointers. “At a point there, we thought every shot was going to go in.”

To the Owls, it seemed like every shot did.

“They are the No. 1 team in the nation for a reason,” added Marli Bennett.

Moore hit three-pointers on the Huskies’ first two possessions, they ran off 20 points in a row in 6 minutes after Temple closed within 13-5 and finished the half on a 20-1 burst.

After that, the Huskies starters got to watch the reserves get plenty of time.

“There’s not much I can add to what you saw out there,” Auriemma said. “It was pretty incredible, just a really special performance by these kids in the first half.”

UConn will face No. 4 Iowa State on Sunday in Dayton.

In other second-round games on Tuesday: DAYTON REGIONAL No. 7 Mississippi State . . . . . 87 No. 2 Ohio State . . . . . . . . . . . 67 PITTSBURGH — Alexis Rack drove through and around Ohio State’s slow-to-react defense for 30 points and Mississippi State upset the Buckeyes to reach the

NBA ROUNDUP

Knicks rally to beat Denver The Associated Press NEW YORK — Danilo Gallinari messed with’ Melo — and the New York Knicks emerged as the winners.

Gallinari scored 17 of his 28 points during a spirited duel with Carmelo Anthony in the third quarter, and the Knicks beat the Denver Nuggets 109-104 on Tuesday night.

“He was taking the challenge.

I took the challenge. We played a great game and he played a great game, and we won,” Gallinari said.

The second-year forward from Italy matched shots — and words — with one of the NBA’s biggest stars.

“Actually it was kind of fun for me to see him hold his ground and not back down,” Anthony said. “He was kind of talking back to me out there, too, which I was kind of surprised.”

Al Harrington added 23 points for the Knicks, who climbed out of an early 12-point hole and took control late in the third period.

David Lee finished with 12 points and 16 rebounds.

Anthony scored 36 points and Chauncey Billups had 25 for the

Nuggets, who lost their second straight and fell into a tie with Dallas for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

Their magic number for clinching a postseason spot remained at three.

The Nuggets had won the last four meetings — Anthony scored a career-high 50 in the last matchup — their longest winning streak ever against the Knicks.

They seemed on their way to easily extending that run before the game changed after halftime.

Denver played its eighth game under Adrian Dantley since coach George Karl was diagnosed with throat cancer. Karl will not return until April, after the Nuggets have returned home from their five-game road trip.

Anthony and Gallinari became involved in a sometimes testy back and forth midway through the third quarter, and the Knicks got the better of it. After Anthony’s basket gave the Nuggets a two-point lead with 3:37 to go, Gallinari hit consecutive threepointers to ignite an 11-0 spurt to end the period. Harrington’s three with 3.9 seconds left sent New York to the fourth with an

83-74 advantage.

Anthony wouldn’t divulge what Gallinari said to him, but it was enough to get the officials to order the talking to stop.

“That’s the challenge. That’s basketball,” Gallinari said. “Talking is a great part of basketball. If you don’t talk in basketball, you cannot play basketball. You’ve got to talk.”

Continued from D1 Washington figured out what Romar wanted from his players in time to stage a dramatic lateseason run, going from tournament afterthoughts to being among the field still playing on the second weekend of a bracket-thrashing tournament.

They were lost in the middle of January. Stars were distrustful of teammates. Rotations and roles weren’t defined. The Huskies remained juggernauts at home, but defined dysfunctional on the road.

Romar got his team some confidence with four straight home wins in late January and early February. They won on the road for the first time Feb. 13 at Stanford and took off from there.

The Huskies have won nine straight games on the road or on a neutral court, including their Pac-10 tournament title victory and wins over Marquette and New Mexico in the first two rounds of the NCAAs. Their current winning streak is the longest since an 11-game run in the 2006 season, the last time Washington reached the round of 16.

“Your team just being on the borderline of really, really doubting themselves, to come back from that and now be in the Sweet 16 is very rewarding,” Romar said. “To see certain players step up and have an impact, such as a Matthew BryanAmaning that wasn’t having as great a season up to that point, that has been gratifying. To see the team come together as a group is awesome to see.”

By getting his team back to

the round of 16, Romar also gets an opportunity to exorcise some of his personal demons.

Four years ago, Romar took the fifth-seeded Huskies to Washington, D.C., where they led No. 1 seed Connecticut into the closing seconds. Then Rashad Anderson’s three-pointer with 1.7 seconds left — when Romar chose not to foul up by three — forced overtime. UConn went on to win 98-92.

Romar candidly admitted this week that the loss to UConn still haunts him.

“If I would never experience as a head coach an opportunity to go to the Final Four and win a national championship, that UConn game will always haunt me, because I remember how close it was,” Romar said.

“When we were sitting in the locker room that night after the game I was thinking to myself ‘I hope we have a chance to get back here again, because many others have been in this position and never made it back,’” he said.

The Huskies are now back, again the decided underdogs against another Big East team.

Washington’s win over Marquette in the first round snapped a 10-game losing streak against Big East competition. A win over the Mountaineers would be Washington’s deepest tournament run since reaching the 1953 Final Four.

“He’s never going to stop working hard and he just found a way. He found a way for this team to start winning games,” Washington star Quincy Pondexter said. “He found a way for us to all buy into what he was teaching us and it’s paid off now.”
