More work, less money hurts clinics treating the uninsured By Keith Chu The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — The crush of economic distress in Central Oregon has caused a spike in people without insurance who are straining the resources of the region’s health clinics. As unemployment remains high across Central Oregon, Mosaic Medical’s clinics in Bend, Prineville and Madras are seeing more than 10 percent more unemployed patients than a year ago. Meanwhile, federal funding for those patients has been frozen for three Related years.

It charges patients on a sliding scale, depending on ability to pay, although the majority of its patients have some kind of insurance. Help for health centers like Mosaic may be on its way through an $11 billion fund included in the recently passed health care reform law, but even the agency charged with administering the health center program said this week it’s not sure how the funding will be distributed, or when the money will be available. In the meantime, all of those uninsured patients have put a major strain on Mosaic’s resources, said board member Scott Cooper. See Mosaic / A4

FROM IRAQ TO AFGHANISTAN

No shortcuts when the U.S. moves a war By Stephen Farrell and Elisabeth Bumiller New York Times News Service

JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq — In trying to speed 30,000 reinforcements into Afghanistan while reducing U.S. forces in Iraq by 50,000, American commanders are orchestrating one of the largest movements of troops and materiel since World War II. Military officials say that transporting so many people and billions of dollars’ worth of equipment, weapons, housing, fuel and food in and out of both countries between now and an August deadline is as critical and difficult as what is occurring on the battlefield.

REDMOND — The Redmond School Board voted Wednesday to abandon the four-day school week after just one year and return to a five-day week in the fall. Whether it stayed with a fourday week or not, though, the district had decided it would reinstall preparation time into the class day. That’s the time when teachers do things like plan for classes and grade tests. Because of that decision, class sizes would have increased across the district next year and many electives would be cut. The 4-1 vote — with only Dan Murphy dissenting — came as the district begins preparing its budget for the 2010-11 school year. Going back to a five-day week will cost about $400,000, according to district projections. That means the district faces a $1.5 million budget deficit for next year, according to staff projections. That shortfall means more cuts to the district that could include staff. Last year, the district adopted a four-day schedule and cut 59 teaching positions in response to state school funding cuts. With the job cuts alone, the district saved about $4 million. See Schools / A4

Blackberry the cat has now logged nine days in the top of a tree — and counting. The year-old cat has been camped 40 to 60 feet in the sky in a lodgepole pine in La Pine since March 23. Crystal Herbert, 16, said Blackberry, who lives with her, her father and a roommate at their home off Day Road, has been crying constantly, but has refused to come down despite miserable weather. “There’s been snow and rain and hail and wind, and she’s still up there,” Crystal said. It’s not clear what prompted Blackberry to climb the tree. Crystal said they hadn’t seen the cat for most of the day when they heard her meowing, and traced the sound to the tallest tree on their property. Blackberry has ventured downward two to three branches a few times, Crystal said, only to head back up. Crystal is worried Blackberry can’t last much longer without food and water, and said she’s been frustrated by her family’s inability to recruit help to mount a rescue. She said her father called the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, Midstate Electric Coop and the La Pine Rural Fire District, and was turned down by all three. “I don’t see why no one can take the few minutes it would take to get up there with a ladder and get the cat,” she said. Chief Mike Supkis with the La Pine Rural Fire District said he expects Blackberry will eventually come down on her own. Fire departments will risk endangering firefighters to save human lives and sometimes property, he said, but will rarely do the same for an animal. See Cat / A5

“I was sworn to secrecy for 47 years.” — James Noce, who worked for the CIA at Area 51

Area 51 vets speaking out By Erik Lacitis The Seattle Times Andy Tullis / The Bulletin

Crystal Herbert, 16, of La Pine, looks up at the tree outside her family’s home where Blackberry has been stuck for nine days. Crystal’s family has been trying to find someone to help them rescue the cat, who’s 40 to 60 feet up, because their tallest ladder is only 10 feet tall.

“I don’t see why no one can take the few minutes it would take to get up there with a ladder and get the cat.” — Crystal Herbert, 16, one of Blackberry’s owners “It’s an urban myth that fire departments run around with these big, huge ladders and rescue cats out of trees” — Chief Mike Supkis, La Pine Rural Fire District

VANCOUVER, Wash. — After nearly five decades, guys like James Noce finally get to tell their stories about Area 51. Yes, that Area 51. The one that gets brought up when people talk about secret Air Force projects, crashed UFOs, alien bodies and, of course, conspiracies. The secrets, some of them, have been declassified. Noce, 72, and his fellow Area 51 veterans now are free to talk about doing contract work there for the CIA in the 1960s and ’70s. See Area 51 / A5

At some colleges, it’s getting tougher to get admitted ...

Johnson & Wales University student Allen Palmer, of Charlotte, N.C., dumps potato scraps into a compost bucket as he and others in his Traditional European Cuisine class, taught by Chef Joshua Rosenbaum, chop up potatoes to make potato griddle cakes. Johnson & Wales is starting a green movement, instructing students to pitch scraps into buckets to make compost.

Seniors are applying widely, which leads to low acceptance rates By Janet Frankston Lorin Bloomberg News

NEW YORK — The colleges that have been hard to get into are getting even harder. Duke University offered admission this year to 3,972, or 15 percent of aspirants, down from 18 percent last year, after applications soared, according to Duke officials. Stanford University admitted 2,300 — or 7.2 percent, the least ever — said Shawn Abbott, admission director. MIT saw its admittance drop below 10 percent for the first time, said Stuart Schmill, admissions dean.

Composting lessons serve campus well Culinary school recycles kitchen scraps to grow produce, which ends up back in its kitchens

ing and composting classes to help the residents — and bring a community together. “Food is something that can bind a community,” Brener said. “We are trying to build a beautiful spot, a place accessible for everyone to gather. Everything we’re learning in Belmont, we’re taking back to the school to teach students.”

By David Perlmutt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — They call themselves the Bucket Brigade, a group of faculty and student compost geeks at Johnson & Wales University appalled that so much waste from the school’s 18 kitchens was landing in the garbage. So, since January, J&W’s professors (they’re called chefs) have placed plastic buckets at each sink for vegetable and fruit scraps, eggshells, paper egg cartons and towels, bread and cake layers — anything that can be decomposed and turned into compost. They’ve converted the culinary school’s iconic spire above West Trade Street into a greenhouse where 1,100 seedlings are germinating. And out back, in a parking lot, they’ve fenced in a concrete slab for a garden where those seedlings will be planted in 5-gallon buckets full of the compost made from the food scraps. From that garden, they’ll harvest a variety of vegetables, fruits and herbs that will be used in the 18 kitchens. It’s all part of a green curriculum pushed by chefs Robert Brener and Paul Malcolm and a student club that calls itself “The Coop.” “It’s full circle. We’re trying to launch an earth-to-table movement — that you have to care for the food before it comes through the back door,” Brener said. “There’s a generation that thinks food is a bunch of big, long words on a label that you don’t recognize. “We want students to understand that a tomato that’s been carefully grown has a dramatically different taste from one that’s been mass-produced.”

Johnson & Wales University students visit the school’s new community garden. Seedlings grown here will be transferred to a garden on campus and grown in compost made from the school’s kitchen scraps. Wales’ four campuses undertaking the green initiative. Brener and Malcolm had been trying to start the movement for two years, when they were approached to build a rooftop garden by students Jennifer Merryman and Lindsay Higgins. The chefs knew little about gardening, or composting. They called Nadine Ford with Mecklenburg County’s Solid Waste and Recycling Department. Ford teaches plant management and composting courses, but didn’t have any available at the time. She suggested the two chefs learn the techniques at an overgrown garden plot in the Belmont neighborhood near uptown Charlotte that had become neglected. So each Saturday since October, Brener and Malcolm, students and neighborhood locals have spent mornings attacking weeds, rocks, syringes, condoms and plumbing from a torn-down house and building beds to grow vegetables and fruits for the residents to eat. Food has begun to spring, mostly onions and spinach for now. Once there are more vegetables to harvest, they plan to start teaching cooking, garden-

Each academic year, the Charlotte campus generates about 340,000 pounds of scraps that can be composted. The buckets are emptied into large containers at the loading dock, where a Charlotte company picks up the scraps and turns it into compost. “Whatever compost we need, they bring us a dump truckload,” Brener said. There’s a pile of it next to the parking lot garden on campus. Students have built the garden. Plants will be grown in buckets, and empty Pepsi syrup barrels will capture rain to water the plants. The movement appears to be catching on. “This is the perfect place in Charlotte to start something like this,” said Merryman, the Charlotte student. “Around here, they call me the ‘compost girl.’ I know I get on people’s nerves about composting, but it is important that we do this here. We’re not going to be just line cooks, but coming out of Johnson & Wales we’re going to be the industry leaders. “We need to show people that food doesn’t come off the back of a truck.” Higgins, the Asheboro student, recently visited two five-diamond restaurants that compost and buy locally. “A lot of restaurants are doing this because they’re generating a lot of waste,” said Higgins, who has a master’s degree in plant biology from Duke. “They also recognize the taste difference. If people are paying premium prices, these restaurants realize they need to use premium ingredients that come from local growers.”

Applications are surging because colleges are marketing themselves more vigorously, and the tougher they are to get into, the more students seek entry to multiple schools and increase competition for slots, said Jon Reider, director of college counseling at San Francisco University High School. The typical senior applies to a dozen colleges, 50 percent more than 10 years ago, Reider said. “This is without any question the hardest year ever,” Reider, who is also a former admissions officer for Stanford, near Palo Alto, Calif., said in an interview. “This is unprecedented. No question.” Seven of the eight members of the Ivy League had an increase in applications, according to

data from the institutions. The exception was Yale, which had a decline of 134 applications, or less than a percent, from 26,003 last year, said Jeffrey Brenzel, admissions dean. Yale expects to announce its admissions rate today.

Put up or go away Colleges are beginning to notify high school students, by e-mail or through the U.S. Postal Service, of admission decisions. Most applicants who are offered places must pay deposits by May 1 to secure the spots. “Students are looking at a wider range of schools because they are less certain of their chances of being admitted to colleges that typically would have been reasonable choices for them,” said Christoph Guttentag, dean of undergraduate admissions at Duke, in Durham, North Carolina. Applications to Duke rose 12 percent, and the university had to hire three part-time readers to help evaluate candidates, Guttentag said. With a 42 percent increase in applications, the University of Chicago offered places to 3,560, or 18 percent, of 19,370 applicants, said Jeremy Manier, a spokesman. That compared with 27 percent last year. As recently as 1993, Chicago’s acceptance rate was 77 percent, according to the university. Chicago began a campaign in 2009 to increase applications by sending more mailings and targeted e-mails to prospective students who showed interest.

... and at this one, it’s just impossible By James Barron New York Times News Service

This is the week when millions of college applicants will find out whether they got into their first-choice schools, were put on the waiting list or were rejected. Anyone whose heart is set on Hudson University will be disappointed. Hudson University exists only on television — mainly on the long-running “Law & Order” shows on NBC, and also briefly on “Castle,” an ABC series about a New York police detective and a best-selling author who shadows her.

It plays one on TV “Law & Order” and its spinoffs — “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” — have long wandered onto the Hudson campus when they needed to question college students. “We had to create a university that did not exist,” explained Rene Balcer, a longtime producer and writer for the “Law & Order” shows, “and it’s really hard coming up with a name for a university that doesn’t exist somewhere in the country.” Hudson, Balcer said, was among the few names that cleared that hurdle. Hudson also turned up a couple of weeks ago on “Castle,” which is in the home stretch of its first season. A spokesman for ABC did not answer questions about whether its Hudson University was anything like the one on “Law & Order.” But Balcer had definite ideas about Hudson’s

place in the academic world. “It is the one place you never want to go to school or teach at,” he said. “Very high crime rate.”

So, what’s the school like? That raised other questions that might be answered on Hudson’s Web site, if it had one. How many students are enrolled? What is the student-faculty ratio? And what is the campus like, anyway? “It’s a university with two campuses, depending on what our locations can give us,” Balcer said. “Part looks like Columbia, and part looks like NYU. Some of the dorms look like the dorms at NYU, but when we want a quadrangle or more Ivy Leaguish building, that’s the uptown campus of Hudson University.” Hudson has a graduate school, judging by “Castle,” and a somewhat unusual curriculum. The victim in the episode of the show had been a doctoral candidate whose focus, whether academic or extracurricular, was sadomasochism. Lately, Balcer said, “Law & Order” has come up with a second New York City college, Chelsea University. “We had a show with students from two universities,” he said. “One was a research institution, and we had to come up with two universities’ names. Murray Hill University didn’t cut it. Chelsea was very artsy.”

T S Reigniting debate, Obama expands offshore drilling East Coast waters, other protected areas open to drilling for the first time – and not everyone’s happy

The case centered on Oregon Islamic charity’s phone calls By Charlie Savage and James Risen New York Times News Service

By Ben Feller

WASHINGTON — A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the National Security Agency’s program of surveillance without warrants was illegal, rejecting the Obama administration’s effort to keep shrouded in secrecy one of the most disputed counterterrorism policies of former President George W. Bush. In a 45-page opinion, Judge Vaughn Walker ruled that the government had violated a 1978 federal statute requiring court approval for domestic surveillance when it intercepted phone calls of Al Haramain, a now-defunct Islamic charity in Oregon, and of two lawyers representing it in 2004. Declaring that the plaintiffs had been “subjected to unlawful surveillance,” the judge said the government was liable to pay them damages.

The Associated Press

A blow to Bush-era spy program The ruling delivered a blow to the Bush administration’s claims that its surveillance program, which Bush secretly authorized shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, was lawful. Under the program, the National Security Agency monitored Americans’ international email messages and phone calls without court approval, even though the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, required warrants. The Justice Department said it was reviewing the decision and had made no decision about whether to appeal. The ruling by Walker, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, rejected the Justice Department’s claim — first asserted by the Bush administration and continued under President Barack Obama — that the charity’s lawsuit should be dismissed without a ruling on the merits because allowing it to go forward could reveal state secrets. The judge characterized that expansive use of the socalled state-secrets privilege as amounting to “unfettered executive-branch discretion” that had “obvious potential for governmental abuse and overreaching.” That position, he said, would enable government officials to flout the warrant law, even though Congress had enacted it “specifically to rein in and create a judicial check for executive-branch abuses of surveillance authority.”

Implications for ‘war on terror’ Because the government merely sought to block the suit under the state-secrets privilege, it never mounted a direct legal defense of the NSA program in the Haramain case. Walker did not directly address the legal arguments made by the Bush administration in defense of the NSA program after The New York Times disclosed its existence in December 2005: that the president’s wartime powers enabled him to override the FISA statute. But lawyers for Al Haramain were quick to argue that the ruling undermined the legal underpinnings of the war against terrorism. One of them, Jon Eisenberg, said Walker’s ruling was an “implicit repudiation of the Bush-Cheney theory of executive power.”

Chechen militant claims responsibility for blasts By Arsen Mollayev and Vladimir Isachenkov

Suicide bombings rock Dagestan

The Associated Press

MAKHACHKALA, Russia — A Chechen militant claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks on the Moscow subway in an Internet message posted Wednesday. Doku Umarov, who leads Islamic militants in Chechnya and other regions in Russia’s North Caucasus, said in a video posted on a pro-rebel Web site that Monday’s twin suicide attacks were revenge for the killing of civilians by Russian security forces. Umarov’s statement appeared after Prime Minister Vladimir Putin vowed to “drag out of the sewer” the terrorists who plotted the subway bombings, which killed 39 people and wounded scores of commuters during the morning rush hour. The suicide bombings in Moscow were the first in the capital in six years and served as a wake-up call for many Russians, who had come to feel insulated from the violence raging in the country’s predominantly Muslim southern corner. Umarov blamed ordinary Russians for turning a blind eye to the killing of civilians in the Caucasus by security forces and warned of more attacks. “I promise you that the war will come to your streets and you will feel it in your lives, feel it on your own skin,” Umarov, dressed

There was no way to substantiate Umarov’s claim, and officials at Russian law enforcement agencies refused to comment on Umarov’s claim. The Russian security chief has previously said the subway bombings were carried out by militants from the Caucasus. Umarov had previously warned that “if Russians think that the war is happening only on television, somewhere far away in the Caucasus where it can’t reach them, then we are going to show them that this war will return to their homes.”

MOSCOW — Double suicide bombings struck the strife-ridden Russian republic of Dagestan on Wednesday, killing 12 people and injuring dozens. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin again lashed out at militant groups, and called for reinforcement of police ranks in the north Caucasus. “I don’t rule out that the same terrorists were involved” in the Moscow and Dagestan attacks, Putin told a government presidium in Moscow. Wednesday morning’s first bombing struck on Lenin Road in Kizlyar. The driver of an off-road vehicle ignored the commands of a police patrol to pull over, Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev said. As the police sped closer, the suicide bomber blew up the car. Once medical teams and additional law enforcement officers had rushed to the scene, a man in a police uniform walked into a group of police standing near an ambulance and blew himself up. — Los Angeles Times

Force Base. “But the answer is not, also, for us to ignore the fact that we are going to need vital energy sources to maintain our economic growth and our security.” Inside politically conscious Washington, Obama’s announcement was viewed, too, as a play to win Republican support for a comprehensive climate change bill. Obama needs GOP help to move legislation through the Senate that would limit carbon emissions, a key priority, and his decision on drilling drew at least a bit of Republican applause. Republican George W. Bush pushed for years to expand offshore drilling. He and Congress lifted bans on some drilling in 2008, when gasoline prices hit record levels. But Obama’s plan is narrower than Bush’s, which also would have opened up oil and gas leasing areas off California and in the North Atlantic.

WASHINGTON — Shaking up years of energy policy and his own environmental backers, President Barack Obama threw open a huge swath of East Coast waters and other protected areas in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska to drilling Wednesday, widening the politically explosive hunt for more homegrown oil and gas. Obama’s move allows drilling from Delaware to central Florida, plus the northern waters of Alaska, and exploration could begin 50 miles off the coast of Virginia by 2012. He also wants Congress to lift a drilling ban in the oil-rich eastern Gulf of Mexico, 125 miles from Florida beaches. Still off limits: the entire Pacific seaboard. And in a nod to conservation, Obama canceled oil exploration in Alaska’s Bristol Bay, deeming the area a national treasure.

Under fire Obama got a predictable pummeling Wednesday from environmentalists, who sarcastically compared him to Sarah Palin, the former vice presidential candidate whose oil-promoting speech at the Republican National Convention in 2008 famously drew chants of “Drill, Baby, Drill!” Any big changes to environmental policy — particularly oil drilling — tend to touch off the bitter debate that Obama says he wants the country to end. His support for exploratory drilling in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas north of Alaska, for example, drew outrage from the Center for Biological Diversity as a threat to polar bears. “Short of sending Sarah Palin back to Alaska to personally club polar bears to death, the Obama administration could not have come up with a more efficient extinction plan for the polar bear,” said Brendan Cummings, the center’s senior counsel.

A big impact For this oil-dependent nation, the decision could start to reshape far-reaching economic and national security policies, affecting where the U.S. gets the fuel for its cars, heating and energy-gulping industry. For a president on a roll following a big health care win, Wednesday’s drilling declaration was both aggressive and pragmatic. Even with a push for cleaner energy sources and efficient cars — and with promises of protection for ecosystems and coastal tourism — the nation still needs more oil, Obama said. “The answer is not drilling everywhere all the time,” Obama said in an event at Andrews Air

Top Vatican official defends pope in sexual abuse cases American cardinal praises pope for his handling of cases By Rachel Donadio New York Times News Service

VATICAN CITY — A top Vatican official issued a detailed defense of Pope Benedict XVI’s handling of sexual abuse cases and extensively criticized The New York Times’ coverage, both in its news and editorial pages, as unfair to the pope and the church. In a rare interview and a 2,400word statement posted Wednesday on the Vatican Web site, the official, Cardinal William . Levada, an American who heads the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, praised Pope Benedict for vigorously investigating and prosecuting sexual abuse cases. He said The Times’ coverage had been “deficient by any reasonable standards of fairness.” Levada singled out several Times reporters and columnists for criticism, focusing particular-

ly on an article describing failed efforts by Wisconsin church officials to persuade the Vatican to defrock a priest who had abused as many as 200 deaf boys from 1950 to 1974. The pope, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, was head of the Vatican’s Cardinal Wildoctrinal office liam Levada when the case on Wedneswas referred day criticized there, in 1996. the New He said the York Times’ article wrongly coverage of “attributed the the church failure to ac- sex abuse complish this scandal. dismissal to Pope Benedict, instead of diocesan decisions at the time.” On Wednesday, the archbishop of Milwaukee said the pope should not be held responsible for mistakes that were made in Wisconsin, according to The Associated Press. The Times article drew on documents obtained from lawyers

suing the church that showed that Vatican officials had at first ordered a secret canonical trial, then asked the archdiocese to suspend it after the priest pleaded for leniency to Ratzinger. Wisconsin church officials protested the suspension, but followed it. The priest, the Rev. Lawrence Murphy, died a few months later. News coverage of the abuse has clearly touched a nerve in the Vatican. As the church grapples with abuse cases that have come to light in several European countries, Benedict has come under scrutiny for how he and his subordinates handled sexual abuse allegations against priests while he served as an archbishop in Germany as well as when he was the Vatican’s top doctrinal enforcer. In 1980, when the pope was archbishop of Munich and Freising, he approved the transfer to therapy of a priest who had abused boys, and he was copied in on a memo saying that the priest had been allowed to resume pastoral duties shortly after his therapy began. The priest was later convicted of molesting other boys.

Despite not having medical insurance, Mosaic Medical patient Michael Schaefer is seen by Dr. Tina Busby at the Bend clinic on Wednesday afternoon. Mosaic’s Bend clinic has a 190-person waiting list, and most of the people on it are uninsured, according to Mosaic Executive Director Charla DeHate.

Continued from A1 The district also eliminated teacher preparation time from the class day. Because the staff cuts made up for most of the savings, the district projects it can return to the five-day week for about $400,000 without adding any new teachers. Board member Richard Little said since joining the board before this school year, he had wanted to move back to a fiveday week. “This was one of my goals when I got on school board,” Little said. “I think a four-day week is substandard, so I’m definitely for a five-day week.”

Rob Kerr The Bulletin

Mosaic Continued from A1 Last month, the board decided to move the organization’s entire beginning fund balance, essentially a reserve fund, to the operations budget in order to meet the new demand. But that means the clinics won’t have many options if need doesn’t decrease next year, Cooper said. “That should be enough to carry us to year end without having a disaster on our hands,” Cooper said. “If this didn’t change within a year, we’d have to seriously look at whether we can continue to provide service within all three communities.” In February, Mosaic saw onethird more uninsured patients than it expected, Cooper said. And those numbers don’t include

patients who haven’t been able to get into a Mosaic clinic. The Bend clinic alone has a 190-person waiting list, most of whom are uninsured, Mosaic Executive Director Charla DeHate said. Even so, cutting services would happen only as a last resort, DeHate said. “All of our staff are essential, but if we have to scale back, it will be the non-patient care staff, that’s common knowledge,” DeHate said. “Scaling back the providers and their support staff is the last thing I will do.” Mosaic receives a federal grant of just over $2 million annually to defray the costs of treating uninsured patients. That would pay the bills if 35 percent of patients were uninsured, but so far this year 42 percent of patients have lacked insurance, said DeHate. The health care overhaul law

includes $9.5 billion over 10 years for health centers to increase the number of low-income patients they can see and $1.5 billion for health center construction. That money could begin flowing as soon as this winter. But a spokesman for the federal Health Resources and Services Administration said the agency is still parsing the health care bill to decide how funding will be distributed. “We’re working through all the language in the bill, and we’ll be working to get funding out as it comes,” said spokesman David Bowman. “In the past we’ve done it through a competitive process.” The health care bill also provides expanded subsidies for people who can’t afford insurance, along with adding more people to Medicaid programs. Those features would help Mosaic, DeHate

said, but they don’t go into effect until 2014. So far, Mosaic has tried to stretch its resources by cutting costs and applying for a variety of grants, including one that saved the clinics about $6,000 in flu vaccine costs. “I look at every possibility at how to cut costs, save in purchasing,” DeHate said. Those are still relatively small savings compared to the region’s need. Ultimately, Cooper said, Mosaic has to hope more of its patients find jobs that come with health care. “The best thing that would happen to us,” Cooper said, “is the economy will improve tomorrow.” Keith Chu can be reached at 202-662-7456 or at kchu@bendbulletin.com.

Rebel cleric’s followers plan vote for Iraq prime minister Referendum by al-Sadr’s followers carries no official weight but is seen as good PR By Tim Arango New York Times News Service

BAGHDAD — Followers of Muqtada al-Sadr, the militant cleric whose militia was a major force in the Shiite insurgency against American forces, announced Wednesday that they were arranging a special vote to pick Iraq’s next prime minister. Al-Sadr, who has been living in Iran, released a statement through his political office in Iraq that called for putting the “choice of prime minister into the hands of the Iraqi public through a referendum for all Iraqi people.” The move appeared to be part political gimmick and part public relations masterstroke. The referendum would have no legal authority, but would continue the political maturing of a movement that moved away from violence, embraced the democratic process, and solidified its political force in the March 7 parliamentary election. The group won

as many as 40 of the 325 seats, possibly pushing it past Kurdish groups in talks on forming a government.

Five candidates At a news conference on Wednesday morning at the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad, several representatives of al-Sadr’s political movement announced that they would hold the referendum on Friday and Saturday to choose among five candidates for prime minister or write in a candidate. The group has already printed ballots. The five are Ayad Allawi, the former interim prime minister whose Iraqiya coalition won the most seats in the recent election; the current prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki; a former prime minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari; Vice President Adel Abdul Mahdi; and Muhammad Jaffar al-Sadr, a newcomer to electoral politics

U.S. SUPREME COURT

Lawyers must warn clients of deportation risk, justices rule By Adam Liptak New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that lawyers for people thinking of pleading guilty to a crime must advise their clients who are not citizens about the possibility that they will be deported. Likening deportation to the punishments of banishment and exile, Justice John Paul Stevens, writing for five justices, said the Constitution guaranteed competent legal advice on at least some collateral consequences of guilty pleas. “It is our responsibility under the Constitution to ensure that no criminal defendant — whether a citizen or not — is left to the mercies of incompetent counsel,” Stevens wrote. The vote was 7-2, though two justices in the majority would

have required only that criminal defense lawyers not say anything false and tell their clients to consult an immigration lawyer if they had questions. The case involved Jose Padilla, a native of Honduras who has lived in the United States for 40 years, served in the Vietnam War and is a legal permanent resident. Padilla, a commercial truck driver, was arrested in 2001 after the authorities in Kentucky found more than 1,000 pounds of marijuana in his truck. Padilla pleaded guilty to marijuana trafficking, a felony, and received a five-year sentence. He later said he had agreed to the plea based on his lawyer’s incorrect advice that it would not affect his immigration status. In fact, the plea made it all but certain that Padilla would be deported once he served his time.

here who ran on al-Maliki’s ticket. He is the son of Muhammad Baqr al-Sadr, a revered ayatollah who was assassinated 30 years ago, a founder of the Islamic political movement in Iraq and an uncle of Muqtada al-Sadr. Sheik Salah al-Obedi, a Sadrist spokesman, said the organization would set up tents across Iraq’s provinces to poll citizens. The Sadrists will also send teams to knock on doors and conduct polls, he said. The group said it would agree to support the winner.

Political moves “This referendum is not exclusively for Sadrists’ followers,” al-Obedi said. “On the contrary, it’s for all the Iraqis to participate in.” Still, given Iraq’s sectarian divisions, it is seen as more likely that only followers of al-Sadr would participate. The move is similar to a poll the Sadrist movement conducted before the elections to choose candidates for parliament. While the Sadrists may direct-

ly claim 40 seats, their broader coalition, the Iraqi National Alliance, won 70 seats. Iraqiya, a coalition headed by Allawi, won the election with 91 seats. Al-Maliki’s State of Law group came in second with 89 seats. With none winning a mandate, negotiations that could take months are under way to cobble together a majority of Iraq’s 325 seats in parliament.

The al-Maliki angle The Sadrists have held discussions with al-Maliki’s group, but they seem unlikely to form a coalition if it means another term for al-Maliki, who ordered military operations against al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army militia in 2007 and 2008. In that light, the referendum could be a Sadrist effort to gain more political leverage in talks on forming a government. “It could be a political stand in the negotiations for the next government, or an excuse to say that the Sadr movement can’t accept Maliki since the public doesn’t want him,” said Hazim al-Nuami, a political analyst.

Principals from each school level described the difficulties some teachers and students have had during the current year. During the four-day week, teachers have struggled to teach everything a course requires, according to John Hartford, the principal at Elton Gregory Middle School. The problem is more pronounced in middle and high school. Elementary teachers have the same students all day, and so are better able to catch up. “Teachers are having difficulty covering curriculum,” Hartford said. “The higher you get in grade level, covering that material becomes more problematic.” But there could be new challenges next year, with many class sizes increasing. Class size increases will change from school to school and from class to class. It remains unclear how much elementary class sizes will increase, according to Mike McIntosh, the principal at Terrebonne Community School. Core classes — including math, social studies and English — at the middle schools

will stay about the same size, according to Hartford. But such classes as physical education could jump from about 32 students to up to 40. At the high school, the average class size will increase by between four and six students. Those increases will come because preparation time is returning to the class day, and the only way to change that would be to hire more teachers, Redmond High School Principal Jon Bullock said. Middle school and high school electives will also be slashed. The high school has 1,050 classes per year, and it would cut about 200 classes next year, Bullock said. “That’s given our staffing we currently have,” he said.

Choices Accepting the return of preparation time, board members focused on the choice between a four- and five-day week. Board member Cathy Miller said many parents did not understand how some teachers were struggling to teach a full course during the shorter week. Miller said teachers would have a better chance to teach a full class with the longer week. “The real question is what’s in the best interest of the children,” Miller said. Only board member Dan Murphy voted against the return to the longer week. Though he did not disagree with other board members’ reasoning, Murphy contended that the district could save still more money next year in a four-day week. That money could then be invested in the schools, he said. “I think if it was a model that was adopted wholeheartedly, I think we could reap considerably more savings,” Murphy said.

Drug already on the market may cut prostate cancer risk Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Men at an above-normal risk of prostate cancer may be able to reduce their risk of developing the disease by taking a drug already on the market. In research reported Wednesday, the drug dutasteride, currently used to shrink enlarged prostates, was found to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by about a quarter in high-risk men. The medication, sold under the brand name Avodart, apparently caused small tumors to stop growing or even to shrink, the team reported in The New England Journal of Medicine. A previous study had found that a similar drug, finasteride, could also lower the risk of prostate tumors, but the new

research — conducted at 250 sites in 42 countries — suggests that dutasteride is slightly more effective. The new study “is further evidence that there is a role for these drugs in risk reduction,” said Dr. Jack Jacoub, a medical oncologist at Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center in Fountain Valley, who was not involved in the study. GlaxoSmithKline, which manufactures Avodart, said on Monday that it would apply to the Food and Drug Administration for permission to market the drug for risk reduction in men with high PSA levels — a measure of prostate cancer risk — a family history of the disease or other risk factors, such as ethnicity.

NEW ENGLAND INUNDATED BY FLOODWATERS

Charles Krupa / The Associated Press

Floodwaters surround the Warwick Mall in Warwick, R.I., on Wednesday, as flooding on a scale rarely seen in New England forced hundreds of people from their homes and washed out bridges and highways from Maine to Connecticut. Hardest hit by three days of record-breaking rain was Rhode Island, where the worst flooding in 200 years could persist for several more days and permanently close businesses already struggling in the weak economy. “I think we’re all done,” said Angelo Padula Jr., a West Warwick town councilman whose family owns a 100-year-old auto-restoration shop. The shop and 260 cars stood in 10 feet

of water from the Pawtuxet River. Padula said officials told him they believe his shop and about 40 surrounding businesses would have to be condemned, as will several blocks of nearby homes. “We were wiped right out,” said Padula, whose 86-yearold father was hospitalized after having a heart attack during Tuesday night’s flooding. “You’re talking millions and millions of dollars in these businesses.” The rain subsided to a drizzle Wednesday, then finally stopped, and the floodwaters began to recede. But authorities across New England warned that much of the water could linger for days.

Logistics Continued from A1 Military officials, who called the start of the five-month logistics operation “March Madness,” say it is like trying to squeeze a basketball through a narrow pipe, particularly the supply route through the Khyber Pass linking Pakistan and Afghanistan. So many convoys loaded with American supplies came under insurgent attack in Pakistan last year that the U.S. military now tags each truck with a GPS device and keeps 24-hour watch by video feed at a military base in the United States. Last year the Taliban blew up a bridge near the pass, temporarily suspending the convoys. “Hannibal trying to move over the Alps had a tremendous logistics burden, but it was nothing like the complexity we are dealing with now,” said Lt. Gen. William Webster, the commander of the U.S. 3rd Army. He spoke at a military base in the Kuwaiti desert before a vast sandscape upon which were armored trucks that had been driven out of Iraq and were waiting to be junked, sent home or taken on to Kabul, Afghanistan. The general is not moving elephants, but the scale and intricacy of the operation are staggering. The military says there are 3.1 million pieces of equipment in Iraq, from tanks to coffee makers, two-thirds of which are to leave the country. Of that, about half will go on to Afghanistan, where there are already severe strains on the system. Overcrowding at Bagram Air Base, the military’s main flight hub in Afghanistan, is so severe that beds are at a premium and troops are jammed into tents erected alongside runways. Cargo planes, bombers, jet fighters, helicopters and drones are

American military vehicles are shown being used in Kuwait in late February before being shipped to Afghanistan. stacked up in the skies, waiting to land. All lethal supplies — weapons, armored trucks, eight-wheeled Stryker troop carriers — come in by air to avoid attacks, but everything else goes by sea and land. The standard route from Iraq to Afghanistan is south from Baghdad and down through Kuwait, by ship through the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz to Karachi, Pakistan, then overland once again. An experimental and potentially less expensive route leads through Turkey to link up with a new northern route through Central Asia, which was opened last year for supplies going to Afghanistan from Europe and the U.S. as an alternative to the risky trip through Pakistan. Both routes circle Iran, by far the most direct way to get from Baghdad to Kabul, but off limits because of the country’s hostile relationship with the United States. “These are the cards that we’re dealt,” said Gen. Duncan McNabb, who oversees all military logistics as the leader of the U.S. Transportation Command at

Scott Air Force Base, Ill. Nonlethal supplies flowing into Afghanistan include cement, lumber, blast barriers, septic tanks and rubberized matting, all to expand space at airfields and double, to 40, the number of forward operating bases in a country that has an infrastructure closer to the 14th century than the 21st. Gen. David Petraeus of the U.S. Central Command, in another grand historical parallel, recently called the construction under way “the largest building boom in Afghanistan since Alexander built Kandahar,” a reference to the conqueror of Afghanistan in the fourth century B.C. Food shipments alone are enough to feed an army. The Defense Logistics Agency, which provides meals for 415,000 troops, contractors and American civilians each day in both wars, shipped 1.1 million frozen hamburger patties in March alone, compared with 663,000 burgers in March 2009. The agency also supplied 27 million gallons of fuel to forces in Afghanistan this

month, compared with 15 million gallons a year ago. Commanders say that their chief worry is that the equipment and supplies will not arrive in sync with the troops. Their biggest enemy, they say, is the short time between now and August, the deadline set in separate plans for each war. Early last year, President Barack Obama and military commanders agreed on a withdrawal plan to reduce U.S. forces in Iraq to 50,000 by Aug. 31 (97,000 troops currently are there), with all U.S. forces out by 2011. Late last year, Obama pushed commanders to speed up the infusion of new troops into Afghanistan — military planners had originally said it would take 18 months — so that 30,000 new troops would get there by August. So far, about 6,000 of those reinforcements have arrived. Once they all get there, there will be close to 100,000 United States troops in Afghanistan. “There is a great sense of urgency in getting in and getting effective,” said Vice Adm. Alan Thompson, the director of the Defense Logistics Agency. “The administration is concerned about being able to show results quickly.” There are obvious strains, he said, but “I think it’s doable.” McNabb, in another reference to Alexander the Great, said that when he took over the transportation command in 2008, Defense Secretary Robert Gates reminded him of the well-known words attributed to the famous conqueror: “My logisticians are a humorless lot; they know if my campaign fails, they are the first ones I will slay.”

Continued from A1 “Its an urban myth that fire departments run around with these big, huge ladders and rescue cats out of trees,” Supkis said. “In my 30-plus year career, I’ve never known a cat to die in a tree.” Supkis said tree climbing can be dangerous even for those with the proper training, pointing to a 2009 incident in Fairbanks, Alaska, where a professional arborist was killed after falling out of a tree during a cat rescue. Joe Fletcher, 73, had lowered the cat to the ground with a rope when he fell 25 feet, suffered serious injuries, and later died at a Seattle hospital. Theresa Lackey, marketing and communications manager for Midstate Electric, said it would be unsafe for the company’s employees to attempt a rescue. “Our linemen have the training for climbing poles, but not trees, and that can be extremely dangerous when handling a scared cat,” she said.

Dan Kraus of Bothell, Wash., runs a cat rescue service and the Web site catinatreerescue.com, a one-stop resource for all things relating to rescuing cats in trees. Kraus claims he’s rescued more than 600 stuck cats, “plus an assortment of pet birds, orphaned baby squirrels, model airplanes and pet iguanas.” On his Web site, Kraus writes that cats have a much easier time climbing up than down due to the shape of their claws, and like people, the fear of falling can send them into a state of shock. Crystal said she’s going to keep trying to coax Blackberry out of the tree, but she’s not sure how much more she can do from the ground. “We thought, you know, it’s a cat, she’ll jump down eventually. And a lot of cats do, but this one doesn’t seem to want to do that,” she said. “We’ve put tuna cans down to see if she’ll come down and get them, but she won’t come out of that tree for anything.” Scott Hammers can be reached at 541-383-0387 or shammers@bendbulletin.com.

Continued from A1 Their stories shed some light on the arid, isolated Southern Nevada government testing site, a place shrouded in mystery; classified projects still are going on there. It’s not a big leap from warding off the curious 40 or 50 years ago, to warding off the curious who now make the drive to Area 51. The veterans’ stories provide a glimpse of real-life government covert operations, with their everyday routines and moments of excitement. Noce didn’t seek out publicity. But when contacted, he was glad to tell what it was like. “I was sworn to secrecy for 47 years. I couldn’t talk about it,” he says. In the 1960s, Area 51 was the test site for the A-12 and its successor, the SR-71 Blackbird, a secret spy plane that broke records at documented speeds that still have been unmatched. The CIA says it reached Mach 3.29 (about 2,200 mph) at 90,000 feet. But after September 2007, when the CIA displayed an A12 in front of its Langley, Va., headquarters as part of the agency’s 60th birthday, much of the secrecy of those days at Area 51 fell away. Advance warning to UFOlogists: Sorry, although Noce and other Area 51 vets say they saw plenty of secret stuff, none make claims about aliens. But on to the secrecy part.

Covert operations Noce remembers always getting paid in cash, signing a phony name to the receipt, during his several years of working security at the site. It was, in CIA parlance, “a black project.” Noce says he has no paperwork showing that he worked at Area 51 for the CIA. He says that was common. Others who got checks say they came from various companies, including Pan American World Airways. But Noce is vouched for by T.D. Barnes, of Henderson, Nev., founder and president of Roadrunners Internationale, membership 325. Barnes is the one who says he got checks from Pan Am, for whom he had never worked. Roadrunners is a group of Area 51 vets including individuals affiliated with the Air Force, CIA, Lockheed, Honeywell and other contractors. For the past 20 years, they’d meet every couple of years at reunions they kept clandestine. Their first public session was last October at a reunion in Las Vegas at the Atomic Testing Museum. Noce was a 1955 Vancouver High grad who went right into the Air Force and was trained in radar. Leaving the service in 1959, he worked as a produce manager for the Safeway in Camas, 17 miles east of Vancouver. Sometime in late 1961, Noce got a phone call at the grocery store. It was from a buddy of his from the Air Force days, who now worked for the CIA.

“He knew I had classified clearance from working at the radar sites,” remembers Noce. “He asked me how would I like to live in Las Vegas.” Noce agreed to drive to Las Vegas and call “a guy” who worked for “the agency.” And so Noce began doing security. Most of the time, it was routine stuff. On Monday mornings, a Lockheed Superconstellation would fly in from the “Skunk Works” in Burbank, Calif., bringing engineers and others who were working on the A-12. They’d stay there during the week and return home on weekends. Skunk Works was the nickname for Lockheed’s Advanced Development Projects, which had the A-12 contract. The routine stuff included checking badges and making sure nobody had weapons or cameras. Security workers also made sure only those with proper clearance would witness a test flight. And what a sight it was.

Not-so-routine stuff According to the CIA, its late former chief Richard Helms recalled visiting Area 51 and watching a midnight test flight of an A-12. “The blast of flame that sent the black, insect-shaped projectile hurtling across the tarmac made me duck instinctively. It was as if the devil himself were blasting his way straight from hell,” said Helms, according to former CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden. Other times, the routine got very exciting. Noce remembers when “Article 123,” as one of the A-12s was called, crashed on May 24, 1963, after the plane stalled near Wendover, Utah. The pilot ejected and survived. Noce says he was among those who flew to the crash site in a giant cargo plane loaded with several trucks. They loaded everything from the crash into the trucks. He remembers that a local deputy had either witnessed the crash or had quickly arrived at the scene. There also was a family on a vacation car trip who had taken photos. “We confiscated the camera, took the film out,” says Noce. “We just said we worked for the government.” He says the deputy and the family were told not to talk to anybody about the crash, especially the press. “We told them there would be dire consequences,” Noce says. “You scared them.” As an added incentive, he says, the CIA arrived with a briefcase full of cash. “I think it was like 25 grand apiece, for the sheriff and the family,” says Noce. About the aliens. Noce and Barnes say they never saw anything connected to UFOs. Barnes believes the Air Force and the “Agency” didn’t mind the stories about alien spacecraft. They helped cover up the secret planes that were being tested.

Fed ends mortgage securities program WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve’s single largest intervention to prop up the American economy, its $1.25 trillion program to buy mortgage-backed securities, came to a long-anticipated end on Wednesday. The program has been credited with holding mortgage interest rates at near-record lows and slowing the nationwide decline in home prices that threatened to send the economy into an extended slump. The purchases caused rates for 30-year mortgages, which exceeded 6 percent in late 2008, to fall to below 5 percent by March 2009. They are hovering slightly above 5 percent today.

Walden tries to protect health plans Reform’s impact on Bend chamber’s coverage uncertain By Andrew Moore The Bulletin

On March 21, the day health care reform legislation passed the House of Representatives, Jvon and Dane Danforth, owners of Goody’s Candy Stores Inc., spent five hours watching C-SPAN, hoping to learn how the bill might impact their business. Less than a month earlier, the couple had finalized a deal to provide health insurance for themselves and several key employees for the first time, thanks to new coverage offered by the Bend Chamber of Commerce. The chamber’s health insurance plan, a first-of-its-kind offering in the state, had taken six years for the chamber to es-

tablish, and required the help of Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, to secure an obscure federal designation from the U.S. Department of Labor that enabled the chamber to offer health insurance to its members. On Wednesday, Walden met the Danforths at Goody’s factory in east Bend to publicize a letter he sent earlier in the day to the U.S. secretaries of Labor and Health and Human Services, asking them to preserve the designation as they undertake efforts to interpret the health care bill in developing guidelines for businesses and individuals. “My concern,” Walden said, “is these plans be protected, so I sent a letter today asking (the secretaries) to look at these plans and see if they meet the bill’s criteria, because these look like the plans I always wanted as a small businessman, allowing companies to pool together to be competitive on price.” See Walden / B3

Ken Patchett, the new manager of Facebook’s Prineville data center (currently under construction), warns that the company won’t pave the streets with gold. However, he said, there will be an economic impact and entry-level jobs could be available.

Data center manager says he’s ready to bring to Prineville the lessons he learned at Google By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

hen Ken Patchett first moved to The Dalles in 2006, as the manager of a new Google data center, he put his head down and got to work. He quickly realized that was a mistake. This time, as he once again moves into a rural community, Prineville, to manage Facebook’s new data center, he will do

things differently. “We want to integrate and be part of the community, that’s a really important part of my job right now,” he said. Patchett said he decided to leave Google because he values how Facebook uses technology to promote social interaction. “Historically, with the advent of technology it takes people apart from one another,” he said. “I would like to be part of something that would put them back

together.” The 41-year-old grew up on a dairy farm in California. He played football at New Mexico State University and has worked for Compaq, Microsoft and MSN. He set up data centers for Google in the United States and Asia. When Facebook officials announced they would open their first data center in Prineville, it brought hope to a community with the highest unemployment rate in the state. But, Patchett said, he’s seen that kind of hope before and warns that Facebook won’t be paving the streets in gold, just as Google was unable to do that in The Dalles. See Facebook / B3

The Lazarus-like recovery of the nation’s big banks did not benefit just the bankers — it also created huge paydays for hedge fund managers, including a record $4 billion gain in 2009 for one bold investor who bet big on the financial sector. The manager, David Tepper, wagered that the government would not let the big banks fail, even as other investors fled financial shares amid fears that banks would collapse or be nationalized. “We bet on the country’s revival,” Tepper, who describes his trading technique as a mix of deep analysis and common sense, said Wednesday in an interview. “Those who keep their heads while others are panicking usually do well.” That strategy handed Tepper, a plain-spoken Pittsburgh native who first made his name at Goldman Sachs, the top spot on the annual ranking of top earners in the hedge fund industry by AR: Absolute Return(PLUS)Alpha magazine, which comes out Thursday. His investors did not do badly, either — Tepper’s flagship fund gained more than 130 percent last year. See Hedge / B3

A criminal complaint emerges as fallout from Summit 1031

Thousands of jobs lost in March Private-sector employers shed 23,000 jobs in March, surprising economists who expected job growth last month and raising doubts that Friday’s government report on March unemployment will be as positive as hoped. Forecasters expected the private sector to add 40,000 jobs last month. But the ADP Employer Services report released Wednesday said otherwise, underlining the shaky nature of the economic recovery.

Savvy consumers know they can get a free copy of their credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com. But can you get a credit score for free? No, you generally can’t get your FICO credit score free. FICO is the brand name of the

PERSONAL FINANCE three-digit rating between 350 and 850 that most resembles what lenders will use to grant you loans.

But you can get a free “FAKO” score. These fake FICO scores come from credit-score simulators or off-brand scoring models, and they are useful for people who want to keep tabs on their creditworthiness without paying a fee. • AnnualCreditReport.com: Under new rules, companies

that try to trick you into paying for a service to see your free report must more clearly direct you to this official site from theirs. The federally mandated disclosure becomes required for all marketing, including TV and radio advertising, in September. See Credit / B3

Summit 1031’s ongoing bankruptcy has spawned a number of legal proceedings related to the company’s failed business, including a criminal complaint filed against the daughter of one of the company’s principals for allegedly making an illegal recording of the company’s bankruptcy trustee, Kevin Padrick. Stephanie Studebaker-DeYoung, the daughter of Summit co-founder Mark Neuman, is set to appear today in Deschutes County Circuit Court to enter a plea on two counts of violating an Oregon law prohibiting the recording of a conversation without the participant’s consent. Studebaker-DeYoung used a Webcam embedded in a laptop computer to make a video recording of a February 2009 meeting at Summit’s Bend office between the company’s principals and Padrick, who was then serving as a financial consultant for the company’s chief restructuring officer. A few days after the meeting, Padrick was named Summit’s bankruptcy trustee and as a result, Summit’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing was converted to a Chapter 11 liquidation. Padrick is currently liquidating the company for the benefit of its creditors. He declined to comment for this story. Studebaker-DeYoung, in an interview with The Bulletin, said she believes the charges are politically motivated, brought against her after Padrick pressured the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office to file the case in retaliation for her objecting to his legal fees in the bankruptcy case.

Continued from B1 Credit scores are based on data in your credit reports, which come from three companies: TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. You can get one free credit report per year from each of them by going to AnnualCreditReport.com. • CreditKarma.com: You can pull a score daily. It is the TransRisk credit score based on your TransUnion report. The site sells no products but makes money from advertising and recommending products, such as credit cards and mortgages, based on information in your credit report. But it doesn’t store or reveal to vendors your personal information, said CEO Ken Lin. Lin said your CreditKarma score should be highly correlated with your FICO score. • Quizzle.com: You can access your score once every six months. Based on your Experian report, it provides a score by CE Analytics. Quizzle discarded two previous types of scores in favor of a CE score, which is closer to a FICO score, said Quizzle CEO Todd Albery. You also get your Experian credit report. Quizzle sells credit-improvement tools, which cost $25 or $75 depending on the product. • Credit.com: You can access its Credit Report Card once a month. Based on your TransUnion report, it gives a letter grade like a school report card, and then gives number ranges for how that would rate with five credit-score models, including FICO. The site links to various paid credit products, including credit-monitoring services that might be of questionable value for most people. It also links to credit card and loan offers. • MyFICO.com: If you’re in the market for a loan or will be soon, you should probably pay $15.95 each for one or both of your scores from MyFico.com. You can get the Equifax and TransUnion FICO scores but not the score from Experian, which no longer sells it to the public. Your FICO score is probably the closest to what lenders will see, said spokesman Barry Paperno.

Continued from B1 The Danforths told Walden they would like to expand their business, and have even entertained offers to franchise their business, but are currently unwilling to do either due to the uncertain impact the health care legislation might have. Jvon Danforth said the uncertainty is even more frustrating given that they have trimmed costs and worked hard to grow their sales, expecting their diligence would allow them to take advantage of the downturn to expand at lower costs.

Summit 1031 Continued from B1 Studebaker-DeYoung, joined by several other parties, filed the objection in July 2009. She posted the recording soon after on her blog, www.summit 1031bankruptcy.com. The objection was later dropped. Deschutes County Deputy District Attorney Philip Duong said the law is “obscure,” adding that people aren’t often prosecuted for making an un-

Facebook Continued from B1 However, Facebook will help the community, he said. It will create jobs, partner with Central Oregon Community College to create a new program with internship opportunities and work with local schools to deliver supplies they might need, such as new uniforms. Patchett said the first 35 data center employees will be hired in the third quarter of 2010, when the center is almost finished. He said he will be looking for a range of skills, and some entry-level positions will need to be filled. Patchett’s official job description is manager of Facebook’s data center. He will help hire, put together a team and then stay on to manage.

“We want to create a facility for factory tours and we could be hiring people, but our company is too important to make a decision (without knowing the bill’s impact),” she told Walden. She also emphasized her appreciation for the chamber’s health care coverage, calling it “a great plan.” The Bend chamber began offering health insurance to its roughly 1,300 members March 1, thanks to the Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement, a federal designation that allows beneficiary associations such as chambers of commerce to provide health insurance to their members.

authorized recording. But it is a crime, he said. Asked if the charges were brought at the request of Padrick, who is named as a victim in the case, Duong said the case “was reviewed in the normal manner.” “These cases are tough,” Doung added. “We usually look into facts around them and make a decision from there.”

The chamber is the first in the state to receive such a designation, which enables it to pool the purchasing power of the members’ roughly 25,000 employees to buy health insurance. The chamber’s plan is provided by Bend-based Clear One Health Plans, and sold exclusively by Bend-based Johnson Benefit Planning, which worked with Walden to secure the chamber’s MEWA designation. Walden, who voted against the federal health care legislation, said he is unsure how it might impact MEWA designations, which is what prompted his letter. In the letter, Walden writes that the chamber’s MEWA-des-

ignated plan works. He urges the secretaries “not to eliminate or place unreasonable regulation on this common-sense program that has proven to be a benefit for businesses in Oregon.” According to Tim Casey, the chamber’s executive director, 16 local companies have signed up for the chamber’s health care plan, and another 160 are inquiring about it. Casey said the plan has helped the chamber cut its own health care insurance costs this year by 17 percent. Without the new plan, the chamber was facing a 30 percent increase in its premium costs, he said. Proponents of health care re-

form legislation say it will lower premium costs. But how the bill’s mandates ultimately take shape, especially for small businesses, remains cloudy, with some provisions not set to kick in until 2014. In the meantime, the Danforths are happy with the chamber’s MEWA plan and would like it to stick around. “We always wanted to insure employees but couldn’t because it was cost-prohibitive,” said Dane Danforth. “It just makes so much sense to put all that buying power together.”

Hedge

out on the list was $350 million in 2009, a sign of how richly compensated top hedge fund managers have remained despite public outrage over the pay packages at big banks and brokerage firms. Even so, big gains were not a constant among hedge funds last year. Many struggled to show gains, signaling a widening gulf between winners and losers, industry experts said. “There are the haves and the have-nots,” said Sandy Gross, managing partner of Pinetum Partners, an executive recruiter for hedge funds. “These guys are the exceptions. You’re talking about the top people at top firms.” The earnings figures reflect AR magazine’s estimation of each money manager’s portion of fees as well as the increased value of his personal stake in his fund. For many of the top 25, the big personal gains in 2009 came after steep losses in 2008. Half of the top 10 managers in 2009 lost money the year before, including Tepper, whose flagship fund, Appaloosa Investment Fund I, dropped 27 percent in 2008. Undaunted by that drop — and by the bankruptcy and liquidation of Lehman Brothers — Tepper loaded up on the preferred shares and bonds of the big banks in late 2008 and early 2009, correctly assuming that the government would not permit bigger institutions to fail. It did not hurt that the Treasury Department was a fellow investor, buying preferred stock and warrants to help steady the

faltering balance sheets of the banks. The government has since sold many of its bank stakes at a considerable profit. Tepper, who manages about $12 billion for investors, also benefited from a successful investment in bonds of American International Group, the giant insurance company that was also rescued by the government. In retrospect, investing in major banks might not seem so risky, but Jim McKee, a hedge fund researcher for the consulting firm Callan Associates, said it was a tougher call to make than simply buying up distressed mortgage bonds, which Tepper did in addition to buying bank debt. This year it will probably be harder to achieve the kind of outsize returns enjoyed by Tepper, given the recent run-up in both stocks and bonds. “Last year, there was a great opportunity in debt. It was very, very undervalued,” said Carl C. Icahn, the legendary investor known for his aggressive corporate takeovers, who ranked No. 6 on the list with a personal gain of $1.3 billion. “Today, it’s fully valued. There are still great opportunities in bankrupt companies, but dealing with bankruptcies is an arcane art and much more complicated than simply buying distressed debt.”

Continued from B1 The runner-up in the ranking was George Soros, the Hungarian emigre who has become better known in recent years for supporting Democratic candidates and making political headlines than for picking stocks. His fund, Quantum Endowment, grew 29 percent in 2009, earning Soros $3.3 billion in fees and investment gains. Hedge funds — the elite, lightly regulated investment vehicles open to a restricted range of investors — enjoyed a winning streak during the buyout boom that preceded the financial crisis in 2008. Then the bottom fell out of the industry, handing even top hedge funds double-digit percentage losses. In turn, the earnings of the top 25 fund managers in the 2008 survey tumbled 50 percent. At the time, some market experts questioned whether the industry could continue to charge hefty fees — a manager typically receives a substantial portion of the fund’s annual appreciation — for such uneven performances. After all, hedge funds were supposed to protect investors against market volatility, not subject them to it. But in a startling comeback, top hedge fund managers rode the 2009 stock market rally to record gains, with the highest-paid 25 earning a collective $25.3 billion, according to the survey, beating the old 2007 high by a wide margin.

He hopes eventually to move to Central Oregon. He currently lives in Hood River. “I’ve had good luck hiring people in the past with little experience,” he said. “If I get the right leadership team in place, I’ll be able to hire more folks that are entry level and grow the site.” Dana Schmidling, executive director of The Dalles Chamber of Commerce, said Patchett delivered on his promise to get to know the community while he was in The Dalles. “He’s a hand-shaker, and he’s always out there getting to know folks,” she said. “People are saying, ‘Where’s Google?’ And what they mean is, ‘Where is Ken?’” she said.

M Pfizer paid $20 million to doctors and others in 2009 By Duff Wilson New York Times News Service

Pfizer, the world’s largest drugmaker, said Wednesday that it paid about $20 million to 4,500 doctors and other medical professionals for consulting and speaking on its behalf in the last six months of 2009, its first public accounting of payments to the people who decide which drugs to recommend. Pfizer also paid $15.3 million to 250 academic medical centers and other research groups for clinical trials in the same period. While other pharmaceutical companies have disclosed payments to doctors, Pfizer is the first to disclose payments for the clinical trials. A spokeswoman for Pfizer, Kristen Neese, said most of the disclosures were required by an integrity agreement that the company signed in August to settle a federal investigation into the illegal promotion of drugs for off-label uses. Dr. Freda C. Lewis-Hall, Pfizer’s chief medical officer, characterized the disclosure and Web site as part of “a march to disclosure” that the company started in 2002. Pfizer is the fourth major drug company to make such disclosures, following Eli Lilly, Merck and GlaxoSmithKline. “All of them are welcome, but none of them is a replacement for a single national database,” said Allan Coukell, director of the Pew Prescription Project, an initiative of the Pew Charitable Trust. Beginning in 2012, drug and medical device companies will be required to disclose payments to doctors of more than $10, with the first report available in 2013. The Physician Payment Sunshine Act was passed as part of health care reform.

SEC eyes new policies in interest of transparency By Zachary A. Goldfarb The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The Securities and Exchange Commission might end its longstanding practice of letting companies and individuals settle charges of wrongdoing without publicizing the detailed findings of its investigations, according to a senior official, a move that could reshape the enforcement of corporate laws. Under existing policy, companies and executives that settle lawsuits filed by the SEC typically pay a fine and agree to other sanctions, but they neither have to admit wrongdoing nor undergo a trial in which the details of their alleged misconduct would be unveiled. A settlement, the only public record of the case, is often only a few pages in length. But Robert Khuzami, the SEC’s enforcement director, said in an interview that the agency is reconsidering the policy. “Typically our practice has been not to file in-depth factual findings of the investigation,” Khuzami said. “We’re taking a look at the practice and deciding whether it makes sense to provide a more fulsome record” in an effort to be more transparent. Securities lawyers said a more detailed public record of cases could make defendants less likely to settle and make it easier for shareholders to file class-action lawsuits piggybacking on the SEC’s claims.

Hulu finds some success, and plenty of challenges By Brian Stelter and Brad Stone New York Times News Service

Hulu, the popular and free online video hub, has some things to celebrate as it heads into its third year. The site, a venture of NBC Universal, the News Corp. and the Walt Disney Co., has been profitable for two quarters, Jason Kilar, Hulu’s chief executive, said in an interview on Monday. And Hulu appears set to move beyond standard computer screens with an application for Apple’s iPad, four people briefed on its plans said. But there are signs of dissatisfaction in Hulu’s house. Hulu has successfully brought television watching on the Web into the mainstream. Now it is coming under increasing pressure from the companies that supply its content. They want Hulu to earn more advertising dollars and set up a subscription service, asking consumers to pay a monthly fee to watch at least some of the shows on the site. Though Hulu has resisted talking about subscriptions and would not discuss details, Kilar seemed newly sanguine about the possibility of such a service. “Our mission is to help people discover the world’s premium content, and we believe that subscriptions can help to unlock some of that, including sports and movies and premium cable shows,” he said. “We’re certainly open to subscriptions as a complement to an ad-supported model.” People briefed on Hulu’s plan believe it may test the subscription approach with its iPad app. They could not say when such an application might be available. Kilar declined to talk about any future Hulu products, but

Rob McElhenney, from left, Kaitlin Olson, Danny DeVito, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton star in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” one of the most popular shows on Hulu. he waxed enthusiastic about the coming wave of ultra-portable tablet computers like the iPad. “Typically media consumption in the house was confined to the living room or home office,” he said. Tablets, he added, “allow consumers to serendipitously discover and consume media in every room of the house.” Hulu’s 200 content suppliers, some big and some small, receive 50 percent to 70 percent of the advertising revenue Hulu generates from their videos. Some of the media companies complain privately about the paltry checks they have received through these deals, even as use of the site has grown. Monthly video streams on Hulu have more than tripled in a year, to 903 million in January, according to ComScore. One major supplier, Viacom, withdrew its programming from the site after failing to reach a deal on revenue sharing, depriving Hulu visitors of popular Comedy Central shows

like “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and “The Colbert Report.” Kilar points to his company’s new profitability as evidence of the success of Hulu’s business model — collecting various types of video in one place and making it free, supported by ads. Revenue topped $100 million in 2009 and could reach that number this year by early summer, he said. The concerns of the partners about revenue are clearly limiting Hulu’s ability to bring its service to other devices, and to satisfy all three of its sometimes conflicting constituencies: video-happy consumers, the content companies and advertisers. To get permission to move content onto other platforms “takes a lot of wrangling,” said a Hulu employee who requested anonymity because the company did not authorize him to speak on behalf of the site. The employee said it was “like trying to pass the health care bill.”

The Humane Society of Redmond plans to open a new thrift store to help pay back an estimated $969,942 debt to Deschutes County. The society, which has been struggling financially, presented a five-year financial plan and the thrift store plan to the Deschutes County Commission on Wednesday afternoon. Redmond’s shelter Board President Mike Daly admits the shelter is struggling but said it is trying to grow its revenue. The shelter was on the verge of closing in 2008, until the county helped by loaning it $1.2 million from the solid waste reserve fund. The shelter repaid $343,047 this year, and it hopes to bring in profit from various projects to repay the county and help stabilize its finances. The shelter is finalizing a twoyear lease to take over the vacant Quality Hearth & Patio building, west of Roberts Field, and turn it into a thrift store to open June 1. “We think this store, it should probably be successful even in these tough times, at least more successful than in good times,” Daly said during the meeting. The shelter’s board of directors requested from the county a $15,000 line of credit to purchase lighting fixtures, clothes racks and equipment. They want to reach out to the public for donations. “Just about every shelter around the state has a thrift store and that’s kind of riding a lot of their income,” Daly said. “I know Bend’s thrift store rides a huge amount of income for their shelter. So we’re going to open one.” See Shelter / C5

REDMOND — Redmond Airport could have up to two companies bidding for the right to open a restaurant and bar in the newly expanded terminal. The airport held a meeting Wednesday that was mandatory for all companies that wanted to open both a restaurant outside security and a bar inside security. While three companies showed up — Deschutes Brewery, Cascade Lakes Brewing Company and Coyote Ranch Restaurant — only Deschutes appears certain to bid on the project. The $40 million airport expansion increased the terminal’s size from 23,000 square feet to 140,000 square feet. Once the bar and restaurant open, the airport’s amenities will be finished. The city has navigated controversy about the bar, though. It had to back off awarding the contract for just the bar to Deschutes Brewery because no public bid process had happened and, later, Coyote Ranch’s owner threatened a lawsuit over the issue. The city also failed to attract any bids for only the restaurant. By tying that space with the more lucrative bar, city officials now hope a company will open both. But the interest has not been overwhelming. Chris Justema, the president of Cascade Lakes Brewing Company, said after the meeting that he was still considering whether or not to bid on the project. But he felt like he should look into it, if for no other reason than to promote local products. See Airport / C5

Pine, Sisters and Crook County school districts have graduated with regular diplomas more than 90 percent of students who have individualized education programs. But the school districts vary widely in how well their special education students perform on state assessments; while students from Bend-La Pine, Redmond and Sisters were performing at least as well as the statewide average on the tests, students from Culver, Crook and Jefferson counties were below those state averages.

Cutler said he heard some resistance to plans to reduce the size of the building’s kitchen, and will rework the plan to suit the public’s preferences.

Redmond selects 3 school name finalists In the coming weeks, the Redmond School Board will choose from three names for the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new elementary school that is set to open in the fall. Over about the last month, a volunteer committee accepted nominations and slimmed the list down to three. The finalists are: Wickiup, Centennial and Sage. The committee selected Wickiup as one of the finalists because the school, which will replace Evergreen Elementary, will be on Southwest Wickiup Avenue. But the committee worried that could be too difficult a name to pronounce. Redmond is celebrating its 100th birthday this year and so Centennial was another possibility. That name, though, is already taken by the Centennial Park, which the city is currently building. The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite, then, according to committee member Toni Duff, was Sage Elementary because it is a plant native to

Central Oregon and the name means wisdom. The $20 million school will be paid for with money from the $110 million bond district voters passed in 2008.

3 arrested in Bend on burglary charges Three Bend residents were arrested Wednesday in connection with recent burglaries at a business and a private home. Bend police said they identified evidence linking a Feb. 28 burglary at the Butler Market Store on U.S. Highway 97 and a March 12 burglary at a home on Northeast Sixth Street. Although no suspects were contacted during the investigations immediately following the two burglaries, investigators identified three people they believe were responsible for both. Officers served a search warrant Wednesday at a 61280 Parrell Road, where they arrested Kristopher D. Gaut, 18, Joshua M. Kuehne, 19, and Krystal M. Smith, 20, all of Bend. All three were lodged at the Deschutes County jail on multiple charges.

Kuehne was no longer in the jail Wednesday evening.

Bend police investigate northeast mugging Bend police are looking for suspects following a report from a woman who said she was mugged while walking from her car. Around 9:45 Tuesday evening, police were called to Northeast Third Street and Northeast Olney Avenue in Bend, where a 35year-old Terrebonne woman said two people rode up on bicycles and knocked her to the ground, according to a news release from Sgt. Ron Taylor. The woman said one of the suspects stole her purse and then both ran away. She was treated at the scene for nonlife-threatening injuries by Bend Fire Department medics. Police are investigating the incident. Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was the second such incident police have responded to this month, but the first, a report from a young woman who said she was mugged in downtown Bend, was later revealed to have been a hoax.

Some state furloughs may increase overtime By Michelle Cole The Oregonian

SALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Furlough days that are meant to save Oregon money by ordering state workers to take unpaid days off are actually increasing overtime pay at some agencies. State payroll data provided to The Oregonian shows the departments of Corrections and Human Services saw overtime costs spike in the final three months of last year. Officials say furloughs are difficult to manage at prisons, the state hospital and other roundthe-clock operations because they require other staff to work extra hours to cover all the shifts. Facing a gaping hole in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2009-11 budget, Gov. Ted Kulongoski ordered unpaid furlough days for 26,500 state workers, which did not include those at public schools or universities. The idea was to save $40.8 million over two years while at the same time keeping the work force whole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The governor was really trying to avoid layoffs,â&#x20AC;? Kulongoski spokeswoman Anna Richter Taylor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Furloughs, along with pay freezes and no cost-ofliving increases, was a way to generate savings.â&#x20AC;? The Oregonian reviewed data from the fourth quarter of 2009, which included the first two furlough days that applied to most state workers. At the Department of Human Services, workers logged 117,634

hours of overtime during October, November and December compared with 101,374 overtime hours worked during those same months in 2008. The cost to taxpayers: $3.4 million. Human Services is the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest agency, employing nearly 11,000 people. It handled a swine flu epidemic and record demand for food stamps and cash assistance late last year. But that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what drove up its overtime costs. The bulk of the increase â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nearly 14,000 hours costing nearly $400,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; occurred in the Addictions and Mental Health Services division, which includes the state mental hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Costs increased in institutions providing 24-hour care,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Scherzinger, the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy director of finance. Randall Davis, a mental health therapist and bargaining delegate for the Service Employees International Union local, said furloughs have been a nightmare for hospital staff. The hospital is short of workers and now employees must take 10, 12 or 14 unpaid days off depending on their pay grade by July 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I want to take a furlough day, and it puts us below the minimum number of people required to operate, they have to bring in a person on overtime to take my place,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. And when others are on furlough, Davis says he has had

to work mandatory overtime â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which means a 16-hour shift instead of the usual eight hours. Oregon state government builds overtime into the cost of doing business. Overall, state agencies paid out $43.5 million in overtime pay last year, which was roughly the same amount the state spent for overtime in 2008. Many agency managers warned workers not to try to make up lost pay through overtime. Just before offices shut down on Oct. 16 for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first furlough Friday, Transportation director Matthew Garrett sent an e-mail warning to his staff: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be heavy scrutiny on this program, so please do not think you can violate the intent by accruing overtime or compensatory time to make up for the mandatory time off. I do not think you want to be the example cited in the newspaper.â&#x20AC;? State payroll data shows Garrett and ODOT have avoided the headlines so far. Transportation recorded fewer overtime hours: 56,379 in fourth quarter 2009 vs. 86,073 in 2008. The cost to taxpayers fell to about $2 million from $3 million in 2008. Agencies that saw overtime increase included the Employment Department and the Public Employees Retirement System. Officials at each offered data showing the workload had more than doubled and said furloughs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make much of a difference.

O Growers, researchers hope to defeat fruit fly

TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS

Officer stable after Woodburn shooting The Associated Press

The Associated Press PORTLAND — It’s just a tiny bug, but an invasive fruit fly that has worked its way north from California could cause major damage to Oregon’s berries, cherries, peaches and other fruit crops. About 150 growers, researchers and fruit processors gathered Tuesday to brainstorm how to deal with the pest. The spotted wing Drosophila attacks ripe and ripening fruit, making crops unfit for market. In Oregon, fruit and berry crops valued at about $200 million could be at risk. “This one can potentially be devastating,” said Lynell Tanigoshi, a Washington State University entomologist. Native to Asia, the fly was found in California in 2008 and spread to Oregon, Washington and British Columbia in 2009. In Oregon it attacked blueberries, raspberries and late-va-

riety peaches last summer. Within weeks of identifying it, Oregon researchers found it had spread to 15 counties. Scientists are testing pesticides and natural predators. They’re trying to determine what color fruit is most attractive to the flies and learning all they can about their life cycles. Researchers are facing a deadline. Harvest of the Northwest’s fruits and berries begins with strawberries in June. For now, the good news is that the flies are easy to kill with currently approved sprays, but their rapid reproduction and wide range of favored food makes field monitoring and spray timing critical, researchers said. Bob Van Steenwyck, a University of California, Berkeley entomologist, recommended using different types of insecticides in rotation in hopes of preventing the flies from developing resistance.

Sophie Olson, of Happy Valley, makes her way through the tulip fields of the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn last weekend. The 25th Anniversary Tulip Fest opened Thursday and will run through April 25th. The Iverson family has been farming the land for 60 years, tulips since 1974.

SALEM — A Woodburn police sergeant was in stable condition Wednesday after being shot while looking for a burglary suspect at an apartment complex. The alleged assailant, 23-yearold Billy Jack Gray, was in critical condition after he was shot by a Marion County deputy. Woodburn officers went to an apartment complex near Salem about 11:20 p.m. Tuesday looking for a burglary suspect. The suspect fired, hitting Sgt. John Mikkola with more than one round, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Ron Cereghino spotted Gray minutes later in a business parking lot, and while attempting to contact the suspect, the deputy fired shots, officials said. Gray was wanted on a felony parole violation. Oregon State Police are leading the shooting investigation. “We are very relieved to hear that the officer survived,” Sheriff

Jason Myers said in a statement. “We stand behind our deputy. He responded to this dangerous situation according to his training and within our policy and the laws governing the use of deadly force.” Woodburn officers had been investigating a residential burglary in which two firearms were stolen. One suspect was arrested as a result of the initial investigation and officers went to the Salem area looking for the second suspect. Mikkola, 49, is a 12-year veteran of the Woodburn Police Department. The American Red Cross Willamette Chapter honored him as a “Real Hero” for rushing to search for survivors after the 2008 bomb blast at a Woodburn Wells Fargo branch that killed Oregon State Police Senior Trooper William Hakim and Woodburn police Capt. Tom Tennant, and critically injured Woodburn Police Chief Scott Russell.

Physical evidence needed in abuse cases, court rules By William McCall The Associated Press

PORTLAND — The Oregon Court of Appeals has ruled that physical evidence of sexual abuse must accompany a medical diagnosis when presented to a jury. The pair of rulings Wednesday sent two cases back to trial, including that of a man serving a sentence of nearly 19 years. Following the reasoning of a separate Oregon Supreme Court ruling, the appeals court said juries may rely too much on the opinions of experts such as doctors and nurses when no physical

evidence is available. Both cases involved fathers convicted of abusing their daughters. In a Benton County case, a 12year-old girl accused her father of sexually abusing her. But a doctor could not find any conclusive physical evidence during an examination. The girl later recanted her testimony and denied she was abused. But a jury convicted her father of 16 counts of sexual abuse and a judge sentenced him to nearly 19 years in prison. In a Multnomah County case,

O B Angler who fell is presumed drowned OREGON CITY — Rescue crews are searching for the body of a man who fell into the water near The Wall, a popular fishing spot in Oregon City. Emergency dispatchers received a 911 call Wednesday reporting that a man wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jacket was seen floating down the Willamette River. Shortly before 4 p.m., Oregon City police said 47-yearold Ricky Lee Bond of Springfield is presumed to have drowned. Lt. Kirk Stempel of the Gladstone Fire Department told The Oregonian that Bond slipped, hit some rocks and landed face-first in the water. The man’s friend cast his fishing line in an effort to hook his friend, but couldn’t connect.

Vandals hit Portland police union building PORTLAND — The president of the Portland police officers union says vandals damaged the union headquarters this week. Scott Westerman told The Oregonian newspaper the vandalism involved “multiple people throwing multiple rocks.” He says 10 double-paned windows were broken at the Northwest Portland building and some office equipment was damaged. No arrests have been made. The vandalism occurred early Tuesday, hours after at least eight people were arrested while protesting two fatal shootings by Portland police.

Pregnant mare mauled by pit bulls SELMA — Josephine County authorities say three pit bulls who killed a pregnant mare have been taken to a shelter and will not be returned to their owner. Animal control supervisor Brad Tally says the owner of the dogs will likely be fined for maintaining a dangerous dog. Caryn Gumaer owned the mare named Sugar Plum. She

says a neighbor still traumatized by Friday’s attack saw five dogs slip under a fence and maul the horse that was days away from giving birth. An animal control officer could only find three of the suspected dogs. A check of their feces turned up hair from the horse. A neighbor with a backhoe helped bury Sugar Plum under an apple tree near Selma.

Guard recruiter accused of abuse LEBANON — Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller says an Oregon Army National Guard recruiter has been charged with sexually abusing a 22-year-old female recruit. Mueller said Wednesday the woman reported the incident to Lebanon police but the case was turned over to the sheriff’s office because of a potential conflict of interest. The recruiter, 46-yearold Tim Fox, is also a Lebanon city councilman. Fox was released from the county jail after posting bail. The woman told investigators the abuse occurred at the recruiter’s office at the National Guard Armory in Lebanon.

Ashland environmental group gets Web threat ASHLAND — An Ashland environmental group contacted authorities after a man posted threatening messages on a gold mining Web site. The message, posted March 14 on oregongoldhunters.com, suggested that members of the environmental group KS Wild be shot with a high-powered rifle during a public hike along the Rogue River. Another person replied it would be a “good idea.” Though no violence occurred during the hike, KS Wild conservation director George Sexton says the threat prompted the group to contact the FBI and Oregon Attorney General John Kroger. — From wire reports

a 14-year-old girl accused her father of abuse but she declined a physical examination by a nurse practitioner. In the first case, the doctor told a jury she believed the girl had been sexually abused, and in the other case, the nurse practitioner testified her diagnosis was “highly concerning” abuse, the most definitive conclusion she could reach without a physical exam. In both cases, the jury was left with deciding the credibility of the victims in order to convict. But the appeals court, in opin-

ions by Presiding Judge Rick Haselton, said absent physical evidence there was “a substantial risk” the jury would defer to the expert testimony by the doctor or nurse practitioner and “will not make its own credibility determination.” In the case of the 12-year-old, the court also noted the girl not only recanted, she said she lied because “she had gotten into a fight with her father the night before and that she was angry with him for not working and not pulling his weight around the house.”

Rep. Huffman in GOP primary

ohn Huffman of The Dalles has represented the sprawling 59th District in the Oregon House of Representatives for just over three years and wants to return to Salem next spring.

Republicans should give him the chance to do so. Huffman was appointed to replace John Dallum, who left office at the end of the 2007 regular legislative session. Huffman ran two years ago and has served in one regular and two special sessions. He’s done well by his district, which includes all or part of Jefferson, Wasco, Gilliam, Sherman, Wheeler, Grant and Clackamas counties. By his estimate, he’s brought home some $55 million in funds. He’s done so, he says, without having to violate his own principles or make political trades with which he’s uncomfortable. For some reason, Huffman’s car — a Prius — irks his opponent, Britt Storkson. But whether Huffman drives a Prius, a Mack truck or a lunar rover, he’s done a creditable job as a lawmaker, even as a member of the minority party. Yet it’s what he hopes for the future that will make him most valuable in the years ahead. He’d like to see the state take a good, hard look at the services it offers, decide which fit its core mission, then eliminate or dramatically cut the rest. Oregon, he

says, “has really found its way to the credit card” where spending is concerned, and it cannot continue. That done, he says, it should also take a serious look at restructuring its revenue stream — taxes — to help smooth out the highs and lows that seem perennially to create problems. Storkson shares many of Huffman’s fiscally conservative leanings. However, he acknowledged that he hasn’t studied Huffman’s voting record. Without knowing what Huffman’s done during his tenure in the Legislature, Storkson simply can’t make a credible case that he’s performed badly. Storkson is, in essence, a protest candidate who isn’t likely to serve constructively as a lawmaker. That’s not true of Huffman, who knows that as a member of the minority his chance of accomplishing much of anything relies on his ability to reach across the isle for support from at least some Democrats. He’s willing to do the reaching, and in so doing he’ll benefit his constituents in District 59.

An invitation to a drubbing C

ommerce Secretary Gary Locke recently said on CNBC that it was “premature and irresponsible” for companies to say the new health care reform law might cost them money. Reps. Henry Waxman and Bart Stupak went further. The Democrats asked the CEOs of AT&T, Caterpillar, Deere and Verizon to appear before a House subcommittee and explain themselves. The CEOs were directed to bring their analysis of the health care changes and all the corporate e-mails on the subject by officials at the vice president level or above since the beginning of January 2009. Getting one of those Waxman and Stupak letters must be like receiving a politely worded invitation to your own drubbing. Do the companies deserve to be labelled premature and irresponsible? No. Three of those four companies did announce that they would be taking substantial charges — $1 billion for AT&T, $100 million for Caterpillar, $150 million for Deere — because the law is going to drive up their tax bills.

Verizon sent an e-mail to employees saying that the changes in the law will raise the company’s costs in the short term. There’s little reason to dispute those claims. As Locke wrote on the White House blog, many companies will, in fact, lose a tax benefit they receive now. Basically, companies get a 28 percent subsidy to help cover the cost of providing prescription drug coverage to their retirees, Locke said. Businesses were able to not count the 28 percent as part of their income and deduct the 28 percent from their taxes. Under the new law, businesses still get the subsidy but can’t take the tax break. Companies cannot hide those losses from investors. Their health liabilities just went up. They must report that under accounting rules in the quarter in which the law changed, even if the tax change doesn’t go into effect until 2013. There’s no denying the change in the law. No business deserves to be paraded in front of a House subcommittee for reporting the truth.

My Nickel’s Worth Too much entitlement I can hardly believe the front page of the March 21 Bulletin. “K-12 funding boost,” “Medicare deal for Oregon as vote nears,” and the “Tenants are living in a state of fear” article, which pushed me over the edge. Is there anything the government doesn’t have its hands in? About that picture of the Warm Springs resident concerned about the trash bordering his property. Is it too much to ask why he or others who live there don’t just clean it up? Why, oh why, does the maintenance crew have to change light bulbs? What is wrong with this picture? Obviously, too much for the agencies involved to figure out. So, after funding HUD, Warm Springs Housing Authority, various law enforcement agencies and who knows how much in tribal subsidies, it remains the filthy, broken, drug-infested place the reporter described. My husband is in his mid-60s and just raked three pickup loads of pine needles. He went to New Orleans after Katrina and cleaned up trash in the Ninth Ward while residents sat there and watched his group clean up their trash. Entitlement breeds something dissipating in the soul. We must be crazy to fund such nonsense year after year, or rather decade after decade. Are there no able-bodied persons who could install some gutters for the poor guy? Gutters aren’t expensive. Oh, that’s right. Not his job. Government will handle it for him. How disgusted I am with all of us who like sheep have been led astray

with so-called programs of assistance and “compassion.” Welcome to the era of Obamacare, another hand in our pocket, promising compassionate care. Sure. Oh, yeah. Right. Pam Johnson Bend

Too much growth Why is the city of Bend worried about the urban growth boundary? Here we have mostly vacant subdivisions that won’t be more then ghost towns for many years to come, yet the city of Bend keeps wasting money on trying to figure out the UGB. Who really cares? What really matters is cutting costs. But the city of Bend keeps spending money on some of the craziest things. The way this town has frivolously spent money on its growth since 1992 has been hard to stomach for most of us. We should be by far the richest town in Oregon, but city leaders have wasted all the tax revenues through the years like the money well would never run dry in Bend. Well, look what we have here now. A fancied up town with yuppie leaders that probably now wish they had done things different since 1992. Way to go, Bend! I guess the mentality now is to keep going, stay the course, and make sure we are good and broke for the future. Just like Bush running the country into the ground, now it’s time to run the city of Bend into the ground. Andy Uppendahl Bend

The wrong direction We, the people, need to stand up and be counted. Our so-called representatives in Washington are silkytongued, self-centered, money-grabbing and power-hungry. They treat us like helpless, demented children, incapable of coming in out of the rain. They need to re-read the Constitution, which guarantees “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” not the “guarantee of health and welfare for all.” We, the majority of American citizens, are good, hard-working, intelligent taxpayers who are struggling to earn a living, take care of our families and to enjoy a bit of the fruits of our labors. We do not enjoy being pandered to. We resent having our money defend and release terrorists and support illegal aliens with more perks than working citizens earn for themselves. We are being worn down by Washington rhetoric like dripping water on a stone. All the while, we’re trying to keep our heads above water, waiting for the next mandate from Congress. Everyone is nervous — the medical community, businesses and all citizens alike. It is said, “You get what you pay for.” Well, we are paying dearly for who we voted for. America, it’s time to stop, listen, read, and think — then vote! November can’t come soon enough! Ann Farry Bend

Obamacare drives the need for a value added tax WASHINGTON — s the night follows the day, the VAT cometh. With the passage of Obamacare, creating a vast new middleclass entitlement, a national sales tax of the kind near-universal in Europe is inevitable. We are now $8 trillion in debt. The Congressional Budget Office projects that another $12 trillion will be added over the next decade. Obamacare, when stripped of its budgetary gimmicks — the unfunded $200 billion-plus doctor fix, the double counting of Medicare cuts, the 10-6 sleight-of-hand (counting 10 years of revenue and only 6 years of outflows) — is at minimum a $2 trillion new entitlement. It will vastly increase the debt. But even if it were revenue-neutral, Obamacare pre-empts and appropriates for itself the best and easiest means of reducing the existing deficit. Obamacare’s $500 billion of cuts in Medicare and $600 billion in tax hikes are no longer available for deficit reduction. They are siphoned off for the new entitlement of

insuring the uninsured. This is fiscally disastrous because, as President Obama himself explained last year in unveiling his grand transformational policies, our unsustainable fiscal path requires control of entitlement spending, the most ruinous of which is out-of-control health care costs. Obamacare was sold on the premise that, as Nancy Pelosi put it, “health care reform is entitlement reform. Our budget cannot take this upward spiral of cost.” But the bill enacted last month accelerates the spiral: It radically expands Medicaid (adding 15 million new recipients/dependents) and shamelessly raids Medicare by spending on a new entitlement the $500 billion in cuts and the yield from the Medicare tax hikes. Obama knows that the debt bomb is looming, that Moody’s is warning that the Treasury’s AAA rating is in jeopardy, that we are headed for a run on the dollar and/or hyperinflation if nothing is done. Hence his deficit reduction commission. It will report (surprise!) after the November elections.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER What will it recommend? What can it recommend? Sure, Social Security can be trimmed by raising the retirement age, introducing means testing and changing the indexing formula from wage growth to price inflation. But this won’t be nearly enough. As Obama has repeatedly insisted, the real money is in health care costs — which are now locked in place by the new Obamacare mandates. That’s where the value-added tax comes in. For the politician, it has the virtue of expediency: People are used to sales taxes, and this one produces a river of revenue. Every 1 percent of VAT would yield up to $1 trillion a decade (depending on what you exclude — if you exempt food, for example, the yield

would be more like $900 billion). It’s the ultimate cash cow. Obama will need it. By introducing universal health care, he has pulled off the largest expansion of the welfare state in four decades. And the most expensive. Which is why all of the European Union has the VAT. Huge VATs. Germany: 19 percent. France and Italy: 20 percent. Most of Scandinavia: 25 percent. American liberals have long complained that ours is the only advanced industrial country without universal health care. Well, now we shall have it. And as we approach European levels of entitlements, we will need European levels of taxation. Obama set out to be a consequential president, on the order of Ronald Reagan. With the VAT, Obama’s triumph will be complete. He will have succeeded in reversing Reaganism. Liberals have long complained that Reagan’s strategy was to starve the (governmental) beast in order to shrink it: First, cut taxes — then ultimately you have to reduce government spending. Obama’s strategy is exactly the op-

posite: Expand the beast, and then feed it. Spend first — which then forces taxation. Now that, with the institution of universal health care, we are becoming the full entitlement state, the beast will have to be fed. And the VAT is the only trough in creation large enough. As a substitute for the income tax, the VAT would be a splendid idea. Taxing consumption makes infinitely more sense than taxing work. But to feed the liberal social-democratic project, the VAT must be added on top of the income tax. Ultimately, even that won’t be enough. As the population ages and health care becomes increasingly expensive, the only way to avoid fiscal ruin (as Britain, for example, has discovered) is health care rationing. It will take a while to break the American populace to that idea. In the meantime, get ready for the VAT. Or start fighting it. Charles Krauthammer is a member of The Washington Post Writers Group.

Census Continued from C1 On a national scale, each percentage point increase in the rate of mail return saves the federal government $85 million, according to Groves.

Oregon participation As of Wednesday, the national participation rate reached 52 percent, according to the agency’s Web site. Oregon’s rate was 53 percent, and in Central Oregon, the rate at the census tract level ranged from 59 percent in Crook County to 20 percent in Jefferson County. For the 2010 Census, every household gets the same form with 10 questions. In the past, some households received a longer form that asked questions about a variety of other subjects, such as income, housing and ed-

Airport Continued from C1 “We’re here simply because we the operate the only microbrewery in Redmond,” Justema said. “We’re putting the oars in the water.” The meeting lasted about a half hour and consisted mostly of a tour of the two spaces, both of which are unfinished. The 3,200-square-foot restaurant space sits near the airport’s entrance, and the 700-squarefoot bar is on the secured area’s second floor with a view of the runway. Coyote Ranch’s owner David Shurtleff could not attend and so sent his bar manager to the

Shelter Continued from C1 The shelter used to operate a thrift store downtown, but closed it in the late 1990s because it wasn’t profitable. Daly said thrift stores are doing well in a down economy. During the meeting, commissioners agreed with the shelter’s plan. One of the commissioners asked about the possibility of combining services with the Humane Society of Central Oregon, located about 23 miles from Redmond’s shelter. Daly said he doesn’t see a need to combine services, because they both serve different communities. “I don’t think either humane society would want that to hap-

Education Continued from C1 Bend-La Pine Schools showed a significant increase in the number of students with IEPs who graduated with regular diplomas. In 2008-09, nearly 91 percent graduated with the same diplomas as their peers, while in 2007-08, fewer than 62 percent did so. And the district’s special education dropout rate decreased. In 2008-09, 1.5 percent of students left without graduating, a sharp decline from 2007-08, when nearly 7 percent did so. Bend-La Pine administrators did not return calls for comment. Special education students in Bend-La Pine also showed gains in math and English, exceeding state averages with 56 percent meeting English benchmarks and 49 percent meeting math benchmarks.

Redmond Redmond School District’s special education report card is more of a mixed bag. The district fell well short of meeting state graduation targets in 2008-09, with 48 percent of students with IEPs receiving regular diplomas at graduation. The district also has the highest dropout rate in the region for special education students, with 5.8 percent leaving before completing high school. On the upside, however, special education students made gains on both the English and math state assessments in 200809, with about 43 percent of students passing the English test

meeting. Shurtleff had threatened to sue the city for discrimination, arguing that by putting the two spaces together in one package Redmond prevented companies like his from being able to afford the project. Everyone, like Deschutes Brewery once had, should have been afforded the opportunity to open just the bar inside security, he said. But in an interview Wednesday he backed off the threat of a lawsuit. His lawyer told him that he might have had a case if Redmond signed a contract with Deschutes. On Shurtleff’s urging, though, Redmond killed that deal and started the current bid process. “By stopping them from

signing the original contract, it saved them from slitting their own throat,” Shurtleff said of Redmond. Though he has decided against suing the city, Shurtleff said he still cannot afford to open both businesses and so will not bid. “I just sent my manager there to see who else was showing up,” Shurtleff said. Deschutes Brewery is planning on submitting a bid for the two spaces, according to Mike Cooper, the brewery’s food and beverage director. Having a bar and restaurant at the region’s travel gateway would be valuable, he said. The brewery would be able to spread its brand beyond this region.

“There’s a marketing side to this besides just the profitability of a restaurant and bar,” Cooper said. “Catch them on their way in and on their way out.” The final bids should be done in about a month, according to Airport Manager Carrie Novick. The Redmond City Council will have the final decision on who wins the bid, Novick said. The deal, though, will be driven by cost. “At the end of the day, it’s who gives you the best deal,” Novick said.

pen, because we’re doing pretty good the way we are and we work back and forth, help each other out as much as we can,” Daly said. Pat Roden, Humane Society of Central Oregon’s executive director, said the shelters don’t have any plans to combine services. She said they might partner to promote one-day clinic events. “I think that’s a nice way for us to work together in each of our communities — to do, perhaps, a microchip clinic or rabies vaccination on the same day,” Roden said in a telephone interview. The Redmond shelter is also planning to raise its adoption prices by 30 percent for dogs and 12 percent for cats. It is planning fundraisers, including

an alpaca event with Crescent Moon Alpaca Ranch expected to raise $6,000, and an additional $3,500 from a golf tournament co-sponsored by Aspen Lakes Golf Course. They are also applying for grants and stepping up efforts to increase membership. Last fall, the shelter built a 50-lot RV storage facility on its Northeast Hemlock Avenue property, and expected to gain about $3,000 per month to help fill its revenue gap. Currently, only 13 lots are filled, bringing in about $500 per month. Daly said he hopes that number will jump to an estimated $1,330 monthly when RVs migrate from the south. The shelter also rents out an event center to host weddings and parties. When the cen-

ter first opened, it sat empty — costing money. Now, about 40 events are booked this year, with more calls coming in, Daly said. Each event averages about $500 in profit, he said. “The county does not want to be in the dog pound business,” said Commissioner Dennis Luke, during the meeting. “A dog pound isn’t as gentle on animals as the humane societies have been, or spend as much time trying to get them adopted out. We clearly appreciate what you do — you do save the county money and that’s one of the reasons we support you, because if we ran a pound, that would be a lot more expensive.”

and 45 percent passing the math test. That’s a roughly 10 percent gain over 2007-08. Special Programs Director Martha Hinman said she believes students will continue to perform better because of elementary interventions currently under way. “If you look at the (district’s elementary test scores), it’s astounding because we’re really not seeing very much achievement gap between our subgroup populations” and mainstream students, Hinman said. “When we see that we know kids will be more prepared as they get through middle school and high school. It’s not just a high school issue alone.” Hinman also noted she believes the district struggles to graduate special education students because of the community’s poverty.

number of special education students graduating with regular diplomas from about 52 percent in 2007-08 to 77 percent in 200809. The district also decreased special education dropouts from about 11 percent in 2007-08 to 4 percent in 2008-09. “I think it’s that increased spotlight and focus that all students can meet benchmarks,” said Special Programs Director Barbara Garland, noting the district has focused on hiring quality instructional coaches and is using more data-driven curriculum. While more Jefferson County special education students met or exceeded state benchmarks in English and math than in previous years, Garland said there’s room for improvement. About 23 percent of special education students met English benchmarks, and 20 percent met math targets, well below state averages. Garland is hopeful a new math curriculum, which provides interventions for special education students, will help improve those numbers.

keep kids in credit classes. “We have a supportive system at the high school that allows kids to work at their own level, so they may be identified to receive services but it’s important that those students stay in a credited class,” she said. “We want to make sure kids are connected, and it makes it harder for kids to leave when they feel like they’re connected.” Bates wants more special education students to meet or exceed state benchmarks on the English and math assessments. “Almost 60 percent is a good number but that means we still have students who are not meeting,” she said. The district has been working to provide alternative state assessments to some students this year, with the hope that more students will be able to demonstrate they’ve mastered skills. Culver’s special education population is so small that the state did not measure the percentage of IEP students graduating with regular diplomas, but the district had no special education students drop out of school, and was able to keep nearly 74 percent of students included in regular classes for 80 percent or more of the average school day. However, the percent of special education students meeting or exceeding grade level standards in English and math was far below the state average; 23 percent of Culver’s special education students met state benchmarks in English, and 32 percent met math benchmarks.

Other counties Crook County School District saw a remarkable improvement on its special education report card this year. While only 56 percent of special education students graduated with regular diplomas in 2007-08, that number jumped to nearly 92 percent in 2008-09. Likewise, the percent of students with individualized education programs dropping out in 2007-08 hovered around 5 percent, but in 2008-09 had dropped to less than 1 percent. Crook County administrators did not return calls for comment. Jefferson County School District also saw improvements in a variety of areas. The district increased the

ucation. The agency now collects that information through the ongoing American Community Survey. Information from the 2010 Census will help determine how much political clout each state will have and how much federal money it will receive. The U.S. Constitution requires

the nation’s population to be counted every decade. The first census was conducted in 1790, according to the bureau. The 2010 Census is the nation’s 23rd. The count determines the number of representatives a state has in the U.S. House of Representatives. Oregon, for example, has five congressional districts

Sisters, Culver In Sisters, 93 percent of students with individualized education programs graduated with regular diplomas, the highest in the region. The district’s special education students were also among the least likely to leave school without graduating, with just 1.7 percent dropping out. That’s well below the 6 percent goal set by the state. Sisters School District Director of Special Programs Margaret Bates believes special education students are successful because of the district’s push to

Second mailing To boost the participation rate, the agency began mailing a second round of forms this week to areas with historically low mail return rates, said Traver, the partnership assistant. While he was not sure what areas in Central Oregon might get additional questionnaires, he said a second mailing would be sent to households stretching from Idahna to Mill City. The area had a 24 percent return rate in the 2000 Census. “Part of it has to do with Detroit (having a lot of vacation homes),” he said.

Census jobs The U.S. Census Bureau is hiring part-time temporary employees. Pay starts at $12 an hour for census takers, according to the agency’s Web site. To apply, call the Census Bureau’s Central Oregon office at 541-526-0958 .

On April 10, some areas will hold “March to the Mailbox” events to encourage residents to mail their questionnaires, Traver said, and beginning around May 1, the Census Bureau will begin contacting households that have not returned their forms. Census takers will call homes twice, he said, and if that doesn’t work, they will start knocking on doors. Tim Doran can be reached at 541-383-0360, or at tdoran@bendbulletin.com.

TR ACK & FIELD Eaton off to fast start at 2010 Texas Relays track meet AUSTIN, Texas — Bend’s Ashton Eaton set lifetime bests in his first three events Wednesday en route to a first-day personal record of 4,494 points in the decathlon on the opening day of the 2010 Texas Ashton Eaton Relays track and field meet. A University of Oregon senior, Eaton won the 100 meters in 10.34 seconds before winning the long jump with a leap of 25 feet, 10 1⁄4 inches. In the shot put, he placed third with his third PR of the day, a mark of 43-1⁄4. Eaton then tied for first place in the high jump, clearing 6-7 1⁄2, and he finished his day by winning the 400 in 47.06. Running second behind Eaton after the first day of competition was Trinity Otto of Texas A&M, with 4,187 points. Eaton’s previous first-day best was 4,367 points, which he amassed en route to winning the 2009 NCAA decathlon championship. The final five decathlon events of the 83rd Texas Relays are scheduled for today at Mike A. Myers Stadium on the University of Texas campus. —Staff and wire reports

Easter wishes for opening-day fishes I

f you’ve ever cooked fish eggs, you know that people don’t stand in line to get a bite like they might for, say, pizza. One Sunday, a long time ago, when the NBA Finals were on TV, I fixed shad roe for several friends who came over to watch the game. They kept looking around for the nachos and dip, but all they could see was broiled shad roe. I imagine that is how Mrs. Pautzke, of Ellensburg, Wash., felt. When old Ernie Pautzke died in 1938, he didn’t leave much besides a recipe for cooking fish eggs. Imagine the joy Mrs. Pautzke must have felt when her nephew returned from fighting with the Black Sheep Squadron in World War II and told her he wanted to buy Ernie’s old recipe for $50 and the remaining inventory of glass jars for $199. Imagine how Mrs. Williams must have felt when her young husband told her he didn’t want to start a career at the sawmill, and that he was going to cook fish eggs instead. Otto Keith Williams sold his salmon eggs at 50 cents a jar and

the world didn’t beat a path to his door. To keep food in front of the family, he ran a milk route in the morning, worked at the liquor store in the afternoon, and cooked one or two pots of salmon eggs each night from that old family recipe. Mrs. Williams was not happy, and she hadn’t been happy for months. Otto staggered into the house on a Sunday morning in 1948. Easter morning. He had been cooking eggs all night long to get ready for trout season, but sales were slow. Mrs. Williams was at the kitchen table with the kids. She took a look at Otto and said, “You big dummy, do I have to tell you everything? Why don’t you color those fish eggs like we’re coloring these chicken eggs for Easter?” Williams went back to the garage. The next batch of eggs turned out bright red. Red as tomatoes. Red as 10 fire trucks. Red as a legion of demons. Williams called his creation Pautzke’s Balls O’ Fire. See Easter / D4

Panthers, Cougs split nonconference meets Bulletin staff report REDMOND — Central Oregon runners, jumpers and throwers proved resilient in Wednesday’s blustery conditions. Redmond and Mountain View split a pair of nonconference track and field meets — Redmond’s boys and Mountain View’s girls won — buoyed by multiple personal records despite inclement weather. For the Panther boys, Weldin Yanes took first in the 200-meter and 400-meter runs with times of 23.79 seconds and 54.76. Ron Perkins won the discus with a throw of 136 feet, and also picked up a victory in the shot put at 47 feet, 6 1⁄2 inches.

“Perkins threw more than six feet farther than he’s ever thrown,” said Redmond coach Scott Brown. “Now he’s ranked third in the [Central Valley Conference]. This from a guy who didn’t sniff at the finals last year.” For the Redmond girls, Haley Jordan also threw a personal best in the shot put at 34 feet, 3 inches, which was enough to bump her to a second-place ranking in the CVC. On the Mountain View girls side, Ayla Rosen picked up victories in the long jump (15-07) and the 100-meter race in 13.11 seconds. Mikhaila Thornton also placed first in two events: the 400 meters in 1:05.57,

and the 1,500 meters in 5:21.9. Danika Noel earned a personal best in the javelin with a throw of 94 feet, 5 inches. “I’m very pleased with the team overall,” said Cougars coach Dave Hood. “It was a real cold day and the team is in the middle of a hard training phase.” For the Cougar boys, Kenny Bent won the high jump (6-02), the long jump (20-07) and the triple jump (42-05.5), while Stephen Schloesser tied for first in the pole vault with a personal record of 11 feet. Solomon Helms, Joel Skottke and Chase Nachtmann also grabbed victories for the Cougs.

Kassi Conditt, a senior from La Pine, and Todd Ervin, head coach at Bend High, were among the top honorees when Class 5A and 4A all-state high school girls basketball teams were announced this La Pine’s week. Kassi Conditt Conditt, a 6 -foot-1-i nch post, was named the 4A player of the year after leading La Pine to a 21-10 record and a third-place finish at the state tournament. Ervin, in his first season as head coach at Bend High, was named Class 5A coach of the year after guiding the Lava Bears (17-11) to the Intermountain Conference title and into the state tournament. Bend’s Karleigh Taylor, a 6-1 junior forward, was named to the 5A all-state second team. Also announced was the 5A all-state boys basketball team, which included two Central Oregon players. Seth Brent, a 6-7 senior post from Mountain View, and Austin Say, a 6-3 senior guard from Madras, both were named to the 5A second team. Brent led Mountain View to a 23-2 record in a season that ended with a loss to Jefferson of Portland in the 5A state championship final. The all-state teams were selected by coaches in a vote conducted by The Oregonian newspaper.

The Bulldogs’ NCAA success has put a spotlight on the university By William C. Rhoden New York Times News Service

As the first American-born child of Chinese immigrants, Bobby Fong, the Butler University president, learned math by computing baseball statistics. He learned about the United States by studying the game of baseball. “Baseball was my introduction to American life,” Fong said Tuesday in a telephone interview. “I’m an immigrant’s son; I didn’t speak English much until I began kindergarten.” He grew up in Oakland, Calif., and when the Dodgers and the Giants relocated to Los Angeles and San Francisco in 1958, Fong could not understand what all the fuss was about. “Everybody was raving about Duke Snider and Willie Mays,” Fong said. “I raised my hand one day in class and asked, ‘What’s baseball?’

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL The teacher explained to Fong that if he wanted to understand American life, he needed to learn about baseball. “I did and I’ve been overcompensating ever since,” he said. Today, Fong has a new passion: college basketball. Fong has discovered how a winning basketball team can move a university into a national spotlight — for all of the right reasons. Butler has become the inspirational face of March Madness. The team’s success has had instant impact. “In the last few days we’ve had trouble keeping the admission Web site up,” he said.

PREP ROUNDUP

Redmond boys golf takes opening CVC tourney Bulletin staff report SALEM — The Panther boys dominated the links in the first all-Central Valley Conference golf tournament of the season. The squad finished at the top among five other Class 6A squads with a team score of 309 at Illahe Hills Country Club in Salem. Three Redmond golfers tallied scores in the 70s to push the Panthers to victory. Senior Andy Rodby finished as the medalist with a score of 72, senior Landon Moore was third with a 78, and junior Jared Lambert took fourth overall with a score of 79. Wednesday’s tournament was one of three league matches that will determine teams chosen for the Class 6A state tournament. “It’s great to have another

good start again this year,” said Redmond head coach Ron Buerger. “It helps set us up for our goals for state.” Next up, Redmond will host the High Desert Challenge at Eagle Crest Golf Course on Friday and Saturday. In other prep sports on Wednesday: GIRLS GOLF Good, Froelich lead Lava Bears SUTHERLIN — Kayla Good fired a 96 and Heidi Froelich followed closely with a 97 to lead Bend High to a fifth-place team finish in the girls division of the Roseburg Invitational. The 18-hole tournament was played on a soggy track at Umpqua Golf Resort. The Lava Bears posted a team total of 565 for the tournament, in which teams

scored five players rather than the usual four. Bend plays at Pendleton next Friday.

The

Outlaws will travel to Madras on April 8.

NBA ROUNDUP

S B

Baseball • Twin hits mom with foul ball: Denard Span’s mother settled into her box seat, surrounded by 20 family members and friends, to watch her son lead off for the Minnesota Twins. In a shocking split-second, Span hit a hard foul ball that struck his mom in the upper chest Wednesday at the game in Tampa, Fla. She was treated by paramedics and back in the stands minutes later. “Tell everyone that I’m all right,” Wanda Wilson told The Associated Press hours later by telephone. “Everyone was so worried, he was so worried. But I’m all right.” • Bonds set to make appearance at ballpark: Barry Bonds is scheduled to return to AT&T Park in April when the San Francisco Giants honor the 10th anniversary of their 2000 NL West championship team. The Giants announced Wednesday that Bonds is one of several players scheduled to take part in a pregame ceremony on April 11. Bonds has made only a handful of public appearances in San Francisco since the Giants decided not to bring him back following the 2007 season. M’s Lee gets through light workout: Mariners left-hander Cliff Lee got through a light workout Wednesday without pain, but is still likely to start the season on the disabled list because of a strained abdomen. “It went good. I don’t feel anything,” Lee said. “It was pretty light, but I’m pleased with how I feel.” Lee threw off flat ground Wednesday. It was the first time he has thrown since being shut down last Thursday because of pain in his side. • Switch-pitcher debuts for Yanks: The New York Yankees unveiled their “switch-pitcher” Wednesday when Pat Venditte, the only ambidextrous hurler in professional baseball, made his first appearance in a spring-training loss to the Atlanta Braves. Venditte, 24, faced seven batters over 1 1⁄3 innings, allowing one run on two hits and a walk. The Yankees lost the preseason game 9-6 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Tennis • Henin advances at Key Biscayne: Justine Henin made another comeback Wednesday. The former No. 1, playing her fourth tournament since coming out of retirement, rallied to beat No. 2-seeded Caroline Wozniacki 6-7 (5), 6-3, 64 in the quarterfinals of the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne, Fla. Andy Roddick advanced to the men’s semifinals when he beat No. 33seeded Nicolas Almagro 6-3, 6-3. Roddick committed only 10 unforced errors in 110 points, and he has yet to drop a set in four rounds.

Basketball • L.A. sits Vujacic: Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson says backup guard Sasha Vujacic hasn’t played the last two games because of “a little run-in” with the coaching staff. Jackson says the incident happened during last Friday’s game at Oklahoma City. He says Vujacic didn’t play at all in the next two contests at Houston and New Orleans because he “hasn’t atoned himself for that error.” Jackson refused Friday to give any more details about the incident. Vujacic says he doesn’t know what his coach is talking about. • Fans to get a vote for NBA MVP: The NBA is giving fans a say in the MVP race. The league announced Wednesday that fans can make their pick for the league’s Most Valuable Player, with the combined fans’ choice counting for one vote on the official ballot. Starting Thursday through April 15, fans can go to www.NBA.com/KiaMVPFanVote and rank their top five choices. The other 124 votes will come from a panel of sports writers and broadcasters. • Dixon not coming to UO: Pittsburgh basketball coach Jamie Dixon is getting a contract extension, ending any speculation he might leave the Panthers for a higher-paying job, like the open position at Oregon. Dixon was already signed through the 2015-16 season, at a salary of about $1.6 million per season. • LeBron out for Team USA?: LeBron James has a busy summer ahead. Maybe too busy to play basketball. Cleveland’s superstar said Wednesday night that he’s “probably not playing” for Team USA this summer in the world championships in Turkey. James, who was a captain on the U.S. team that won a gold medal at the Beijing Games in 2008, is eligible for free agency after the season and is scheduled to film a movie.

Golf • Couples to play with Woods: Fred Couples said Wednesday that he’ll play a practice round for the Masters with Tiger Woods at Augusta National on Monday. Woods is making his return to competitive golf next week at the Masters after months of seclusion following revelations that he cheated on his wife. Couples said he’ll avoid asking Woods about his personal life. “This is not going to be questions and answers,” said Couples, playing in the Houston Open this week. “It’s going to be strictly golf. I play a lot with him at Augusta, so this is not unusual.” Couples said he would be playing in a foursome with Woods, though he did not know who the other two golfers would be. • Presidents Cup captains back for another round: Fred Couples and Greg Norman are returning as captains for the 2011 Presidents Cup in Australia, the only place where the International team has won. It will be the third time since the Presidents Cup began in 1994 that captains served in successive matches. Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player were captains for three straight Presidents Cups. Couples led the American team to 19½-14½ victory at Harding Park in San Francisco last year. The Presidents Cup will be played next year at Royal Melbourne.

Winter sports • Vonn to appear on ‘Law & Order’: Lindsey Vonn is going from Olympic gold medalist to “Law & Order” TV actress. NBC and series creator Dick Wolf said Wednesday that Vonn will appear in the crime drama’s finale as a woman who provides an important clue in a case involving a terrorist. The skier, who won a gold and bronze medal in the Winter Olympics, has called “Law & Order” her favorite TV show and said during the games she had been invited to appear on the drama. — From wire reports

NBA SCOREBOARD

Blazers beat Knicks, clinch playoff berth The Associated Press PORTLAND — Portland Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan quickly congratulated his team after they locked up a playoff spot. Brandon Roy said his coach was all business after that. The Blazers didn’t get much time to celebrate following their playoff-clinching 118-90 victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. McMillan already had them focused on the trip to Denver for Thursday night’s game against the Nuggets. “Coach came in and said, ‘Congratulations, you clinched.’ And then it was kind of like, ‘All right, we’ve got Denver tomorrow,’” Roy said. It is the second straight year the Blazers have made the playoffs after a five-season drought. Portland lost in six games to the Houston Rockets in the first round last year. The victory was all the sweeter for the Blazers because of all the injuries they’ve faced this season. Centers Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla both sustained knee injures that knocked them out for the season. In all, 12 different Portland players have missed a combined 292 games this season, second in the league only to Golden State. Only Andre Miller and Martell Webster have played in all of Portland’s games. “Things were looking a little shaky early because of so many injuries, but I really believe if you play this game the right way, which these guys have done, you stick together, which they’ve done, you’re going to give yourself a chance to win,” McMillan said. “They did.” The Blazers came into the game needing help to reach the postseason. San Antonio defeated Houston 119-102 and Dallas beat Memphis 106-102, meaning all Portland had to do was beat the Knicks to seal it. Those games were finished when the Blazers went into halftime with a 65-38 lead over New York. They cruised the rest of the way, leading by as many as 36 points. “We had no energy on both ends of the floor,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said. “And when you do that against a good team that is preparing for the playoffs, there are going to be nights like this.” It was never close. Portland went ahead 50-30 in the first half after Webster’s dunk following a timeout. The Blazers led by as many as 28 in the opening half, with veteran Juwan Howard coming off the bench to score 12 points. Nicolas Batum hit a threepointer to put Portland up 80-44 before the midway point of the third quarter. Before he took a seat on the bench, Brandon Roy dunked to make it 92-63 late in the quarter. All of Portland’s starters sat in the fourth. LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 points, Batum finished 20 points and Roy had 16. The Blazers won by their biggest margin this season.

Butler Continued from D1 “It crashed at least once.” What makes the NCAA tournament fascinating are the contrasts. Saturday’s national semifinal game between Butler and Michigan State offers a stark contrast. Butler has an undergraduate enrollment of 3,900, Michigan State about 35,000. Butler coach Brad Stevens, 33, who quit his job at Eli Lilly, a pharmaceuticals manufacturer, to become a volunteer assistant at Butler, is making his first Final Four appearance. Tom Izzo, 55, has taken Michigan State to six Final Fours in the last 12 seasons, winning a national championship in 2000. Stevens earns a reported $750,000, while Izzo’s salary is estimated at $2.8 million a year. The decision facing Fong, probably sooner than later, is whether to break the bank to keep Stevens when larger programs come calling. Both of Fong’s parents died before he entered college, giv-

ing him a different perspective about money versus happiness and security. “I always needed to worry about where the next dollar was going to come from,” he said. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with worrying about how to be secure economically. It may be a necessary thing, but it’s not the sufficient thing. There are things that ultimately will make for satisfaction in life that go far beyond that.” Fong, the Butler president since 2001, said Stevens had created a legacy there that could be as good as gold. “However long he stays, he doesn’t have to leave simply for the cash,” Fong said. “All of us want to leave a legacy, and the nature of that legacy may be more important than simply being comfortable beyond a certain level. Once you hit a million, the difference between one million and four is numbers. What Tom Izzo has at Michigan State is a legacy. That’s really by far the more valuable thing.” We shall see. The difference between the

Michigan States and the Butlers of the world is the ability to consistently be among the last teams standing in late March. Sometimes a university is so smitten by the sweet taste of success that it cuts corners and makes concessions and exceptions to its core values. Sometimes the concession is whom you hire as coach. Sometimes it is whom you accept as student-athletes. “We work from the presumption that there should be not a gap between academic excellence and athletic excellence,” Fong said. “Our promise to our students is that if we admit you, we believe that you are capable of getting a degree from Butler University. It’s not that we’re trying to keep people out. We expect students to hit the ground running. We don’t have any developmental or remedial courses. The expectation is that you are here to be a student first.” Butler has become a compelling narrative, a mid-major university that, from all appearances, has successfully married academic and athletic aspirations.

FLY-TYING CORNER By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

It’s all about movement. That’s the point of the Smile Blade. Movement and flash. In the water, this pattern kicks and flashes like an injured minnow, an easy mark for a big rainbow or brown. Troll it, cast and retrieve it, bottom-bounce it or swing it. Any pattern based on a Woolly Bugger profile is going to catch fish in a variety of situations. This is a good pattern to rig on a spinning rod with a casting bubble for extra weight, but it is not the right fly for fishing in waters regulated for fly-fishing only. The blade makes it a spinner in the eyes of the law. To tie the Smile Blade Fly, start with a longshank streamer hook. Slide a black plastic bead over the shank then follow up with a brass bead cemented about 3⁄8 -inch behind the eye. Behind the bead, tie a basic Woolly Bugger pattern with Krystal Flash in a brown mar-

Continued from D1 People gobbled up jars of eggs at tackle shops, and trout bought them — hook, line and sinker. Some 3,600 units sold in 1948. By 1949, the company had grown so fast it needed three sales reps to sell the little glass jars full of possibility. As surely as the daffodils and the tulips show their colors this month, our thoughts turn to trout in the spring. Every April, I recall a rainy day in 1977. Ten years old, tired of trying, I mustered all my enthusiasm to sit in the rainwater in the bottom of the canoe while my dad and his friend Steve sat on dry seats and caught fish after fish. To tempt those trout, we put salmon eggs on tiny hooks and dropped our baits over the side. The sun was going down. It began to look like I would end another day with no fish, but then Steve said, “Here Gary, try some of these.” He baited my hook with Pautzke’s Balls O’ Fire. I dropped the bait into the water and a trout climbed on. I didn’t catch my limit, but I managed to put two “keepers” in the boat. Being wet and cold didn’t

A lot of people’s kids and grandkids and neighbor kids will have a chance to catch their first fish. But it won’t happen unless you take them. Many lakes and ponds will be stocked with trout. My favorite kid-friendly lakes in Central Oregon are North and South Twin, and Pinehollow, Prineville, Ochoco and Haystack reservoirs, Fireman’s Pond in Redmond, and Shevlin Pond in Bend. With three weeks to get ready, there is plenty of time to sort through tackle boxes and restock the necessary components. Bait fishing for hatchery-raised trout is a good way

to start. One of the best ways to fish with bait is to suspend it from a float. Cut 24 inches of 4-pound line to use as a leader and connect it to the main line with a small swivel. Tie a No. 8-12 hook to the end of the leader. The float will attach to the main line above the swivel and can be adjusted up and down to account for the depth of the fish. You may need to add split shot above the swivel, depending on the type of bait. Worms or salmon eggs work well for trout when fished under a bobber. If you need help, ask at a sporting goods store. Get the kids involved early to build the anticipation. Take them on an Easter egg hunt this weekend. Swap out a few chicken eggs for packets of hooks and sinkers, maybe a new fishing rod and — You big dummy, do I have to tell you everything? — a jar of bright red salmon eggs.

FISHING REPORT

Prospects bright on Crooked River Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon as provided by Oregon Fish and Wildlife Department fisheries biologists:

CENTRAL ZONE ANTELOPE FLAT RESERVOIR: Closed to angling through May 21, 2010. The reservoir will be restocked with catchable rainbow trout in May. CRESCENT LAKE: Boat launching access to the lake is available at the Crescent Lake Lodge. There is currently good opportunity for lake trout and brown trout. CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Fishing has been excellent. Population estimates from 2009 show an increase in redband populations and a decrease in whitefish populations; fishing is good. Dry fly action is increasing; however, nymphs are still providing the most success. Flows on the Crooked River are currently 77cfs. DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the northern boundary of the Warm Springs Reservation): Anglers can take advantage of these early spring days by targeting trout with dry flies. Look for bluewinged olive and caddis hatches during mid-day. Stonefly nymphs will also start getting more active, and fish will certainly start keying in on them. FALL RIVER: Above the falls remains open to fly angling only. Probably the best fly fishing in the region right now with good hatches of blue-wing olive, midges and tan caddis. HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: Spring is often the best time to fish for 12 to 18-inch rainbow and brown trout in Haystack Reservoir. Trolling is the most effective method, however, bank anglers are often successful near the dam and fishing platform. HOOD RIVER: Flows are good on the Hood River, with good numbers of winter steelhead being caught by anglers. Spring weather has been warming the Hood and increasing catch rates as the water warms. The peak of the winter steelhead run on the Hood will be this week and into early April. LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: The Metolius Arm is open. Angler effort has been light. Several legal-sized bull trout (greater than 24 inches) have been caught, but most bull trout being reported are in the 16- to 20-inch range. METOLIUS RIVER: Fishing has been

up and down but is generally good. There have been strong hatches of blue-wing olive and October caddis, with a few March Browns as well. The mainstem Metolius upstream from Allingham Bridge is currently closed to angling. OCHOCO CREEK UPSTREAM TO OCHOCO DAM: Anglers should continue to consider lunchtime outings, as hatches are strong in the noon hour. Anglers should be aware that beginning in 2010 new fishing regulations go into effect that permanently restrict fishing to artificial flies and lures only; two trout per day and 8-inch minimum length. OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Shore fishing has

been good between the boat ramp and the dam. Opportunities for 12- to 20-inch rainbow trout should improve with the warmer weather. PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: No recent reports. SUTTLE LAKE: No recent angler reports, though the lake is accessible and fishable. WALTON LAKE: Closed to angling through May 21, 2010. The reservoir will be restocked with catchable rainbow trout in May. The boat ramp and campground will remain closed for repairs until fall 2010. Contact Ochoco National Forest at 541-416-6500 for more information.

B R AVE NEW HIK E Reporter takes on grueling, remote challenge By Alandra Johnson • The Bulletin

or years, I had heard rumors about this hike. This week, I felt the time was right to test my will against its formidable challenge. I was looking for a trek that would be remote and demanding; those lacking

expert-level skills need not apply. My husband, Robin, agreed to join me in my extreme adventure. We considered attempting our hike sometime last weekend, but the sunny, 60-degree weather on Saturday and Sunday deterred us. Who can stand to be outside in such weather? On Monday we got what we were looking for — the perfect window for our hike. The temperature hovered below 40 degrees, as rain poured from the sky and was whipped around by intense winds — the perfect conditions for a perfect hike. With the right circumstances in place, we readied ourselves for the adventure awaiting us. We knew we would be heading to a little-known location, removed from civilization or contact with friends or family. So we prepared carefully. I donned a rain slicker and packed some lip balm and two tissues. Robin unearthed his best hiking gear: Sneakers, jeans, a hoodie and baseball cap. We felt ready.

At first, we considered hiring a Sherpa to guide us on our trek, but ultimately decided it would be a greater adventure to not let anything get between us and the raw experience (other than the lip balm). It was 1:30 p.m. on Monday when we reached our destination. After hearing so much about this formidable spot, we were excited to see it in person. The mountain towered in front of us and the impressive nature of the hike really hit us. It seemed insurmountable. The weather continued its stellar streak. Robin commented on the intense wind whipping through his beard and cold blasts of rain pelted me. Who wouldn’t want the sensation of icy slivers of diamonds being thrown in their face?

The road to the top, left, was treacherous and grueling, but our intense preparations meant we were ready for the challenge. Once at the summit, right, we were afforded gorgeous views as the horizon seemed to stretch on for an eternity.

No foolin’ — the snow has arrived By David Jasper The Bulletin

Deschutes National Forest Trails Specialist Chris Sabo had some good news for snow-starved powder hounds. “Conditions for winter: Looking fantastic at the mid- and upper elevations for this week and at this time,” he said Wednesday from Upper Three Creek Lake Sno-park, where he spent the early part of the week conducting fieldwork. Above the lake, which is at about 6,500 feet, “we got anywhere from 20 to 24 inches of new snow. And not just new snow, but some of the best powder of the winter. We’re having better conditions these last few days than we did since December, when we had that cold snap.” Mt. Bachelor and the Dutchman Flat area have likewise seen a blanket of fluffy new stuff, and cooler temperatures should help preserve the good conditions, at least above 5,500 feet

TRAIL UPDATE west of U.S. Highway 97, he said. Virginia Meissner and Edison sno-parks have received about half a foot of new snow in the past few days. East of the highway, at Newberry Crater, Sabo guesses that snow levels are still low at Ten Mile Sno-park, but improving the higher in elevation one goes in Newberry Crater. On summer trails such as the Deschutes River and Phil’s trails, use has dropped off somewhat. “Not really (due to) any issues with snow, but it’s colder and probably a little soggy,” Sabo said. “That could turn around in a day or two if it dries out again.” This is spring break week for many school districts in California and

“I just hope April Fool’s Day doesn’t turn things around and we’re back to planting tulips. But it doesn’t sound like it.” — Chris Sabo, Deschutes National Forest trails specialist Washington, he noted. This can lead to an influx of trail users, and crowds could be heavy Saturday around Dutchman Flat. “We’ll take winter in April,” he said. “I just hope April Fool’s Day doesn’t turn things around and we’re back to planting tulips. But it doesn’t sound like it.” David Jasper can be reached at 541-383-0349 or djasper@bendbulletin.com.

Outlandish letter writers take the cake on April Fools’ Day

PBS documentary examines Buddhism By Luaine Lee

‘Buddha’

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Dear Readers: It’s April Fools’ Day again, the day I share some of the letters I receive that are so farfetched I wouldn’t print them any other day because they are either over the top or under the bottom, depending upon one’s perspective. Read on: Dear Abby: As I was eating my lunch yesterday, I saw the image of Abraham Lincoln on one of my potato chips. As I was daydreaming about how much money I would make charging people to see it, I absentmindedly popped it into my mouth and ate it! Is there anything I can do about this? — Dana In Palm Springs, Calif. Dear Dana: Absolutely. Start thinking about some other original ways to make money. Your potato chip may have been delicious, but unfortunately, you ATE your business plan. Dear Abby: While I was out of town on a business trip, my wife suddenly became a vegetarian. While that may sound like a good thing to some people, it is a matter of great concern to me. Since becoming a vegetarian, she has gained 30 pounds and no longer has her girlish figure. In addition, she will no longer swat flies or kill a roach in the house, saying she doesn’t kill anything anymore. Perhaps others who have encountered this situation can give me some hints on how to handle this. — Arkansas Carnivore Dear Arkansas Carnivore: I sure hope so — I’ll let you know if I hear from anyone who wants to weigh in on your problem. But in the meantime, you’ll have to cook your own steaks and kill your own insects. Dear Abby: Please help me make my life better and answer a question that has been troubling me for some time. How do men on death row get their toenails cut? Are they actually given sharp objects to do it for themselves? I can’t figure it out. — Perplexed In Southwest Florida

DEAR ABBY Dear Perplexed: Your question is one I have pondered for some time, as well. Because men on death row are not supposed to have sharp objects, they take turns chewing each other’s toenails off. I have this on good authority — and I’m not conning you. Dear Abby: I have fallen deeply in love with a homeless man, and I have been trying unsuccessfully to convince him to move in with me for some time, but he just won’t leave his cardboard box. He says it has sentimental value that I just don’t understand. Please help me, Abby. What should I do? — Carla In Washington State Dear Carla: Try this. Have him move his cardboard box into your home, then he won’t have to give it up and can spend as much time as he needs in it. Then slowly coax him out of his box for longer and longer periods of time, and you’ll both have what you want. Good luck. Dear Abby: I want to marry a nice, sweet girl who just completed her prison sentence for abandoning her illegitimate kid. My problem is, my dad sells drugs, my mother died in an asylum of syphilitic insanity, my two sisters are hookers and my older brother is awaiting trial for killing his girlfriend’s husband. My younger brother is a U.S. congressman. Should I tell my future bride the awful truth about my younger brother? — Pete W., Gilchrist, Texas Dear Pete: Absolutely! And, unless you’re afraid it will scare her off, you should also mention you’re a creative writer.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby .com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

PASADENA, Calif. — It seems like a clash of cultures when you compare the razzle-dazzle of American life and the tranquil practice of Buddhism. But the two are completely compatible, says documentary filmmaker David Grubin, whose two-hour film, “The Buddha” premieres Sunday on OPB. “We try to set his life in its historical context, but it’s so long ago that we don’t know what he really did,” said Grubin at a press gathering here. “But what I realized is, what he really did doesn’t really matter. What matters is the story and the meaning of that story and the message of hope that the story carries. And so you won’t find in this film a searching for the historical Buddha. What you do find is a great story with great interpreters of the story,” said Grubin, who’s made films on Napoleon, Teddy Roosevelt and J. Robert Oppenheimer. One of Grubin’s sources is American Buddhist Dr. Mark Epstein, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who’s promoted TV’s “In Treatment” and played himself on “The L Word.” The disciplines of psychiatry and Buddhism may seem hectares apart, says Epstein, but that’s not so. “Buddhism is all about looking at your own mind; the power that self-awareness has to actually heal,” he said. “And psychotherapy is the same. It’s about looking at your own mind in the presence of another person, using the help of conversation to look at your own mind. The idea being that self-awareness actually can help people change. So to me, they are two versions of the same thing.” Grubin agrees. “I think I’ve always been interested

Filming of the documentary about the Buddha takes place. The two-hour documentary film “Buddha” will air Sunday. in psychology in my films,” he said. “I think that’s probably one thing that you can see from ‘The Secret Life of the Brain’ to ‘LBJ’ to ‘Napoleon.’ And the Buddha, you know, was really the first psychologist. He really thought about the human mind, the way our mind — our thoughts buzz and buzz and buzz and what that all means and what to do about finding a way to be more in touch with our lives and ourselves. “He was searching for a kind of serenity. As W.S. Merwin said, he was trying to understand suffering in the world. And he came up with some ideas about that, which I wanted to explore — aside from the fact that I think I’m reaching the age where I’m looking for maybe a deeper kind of wisdom than you could find in a film about LBJ.” Epstein, whose father is a doctor, first became interested in Buddhism in college. “I was studying psychology with a vague notion of wanting to be a psychotherapist, but not really knowing what that would involve, and I must’ve been taking a religion class. I started reading some of the psychological teaching of the Buddha and I thought, ‘This really makes sense.’ “At the same time I was taking

my first courses where we were reading Freud and my first reaction to Freud was, ‘This really doesn’t make any sense. I really can’t understand this.’ “So I pursued the Buddhist line first then I came around and said, ‘Oh, Freud is really amazing and I can understand what he’s saying too.’ But by then I was already looking at the Western psychotherapeutic material through the lens of the Buddhist material that I found. Then I went to medical school and became a psychiatrist and started doing therapy, which is mostly what I do. But I’d already gone a little bit deeply into the Buddhist reading and practice and meditation and so on. So that was influencing me all along the way,” said Epstein. During his travels to Asia, Grubin met with many Buddhists, including the monk, Metteyya Sakyaputta, whose head is closely cropped and who is dressed in a saffron robe and red shawl. “Pardon me because I’m not very familiar with (the) West and

also not very familiar with the kind of Buddhism that happens here,” he said. “But with whatever experience I had meeting some Western people who practice and learn is that it happens with any person who starts on something as a fresher (beginner). He has no idea. So whatever he sees as one small part of it, he takes it as the whole. What it is really is only part of the whole thing. In our country, people grow up in that culture, and they see so many basic elements that are not discussed, that are not told, but they support that theory ... They create the mental software where they’re receptive to that idea.” The Venerable Sakyaputta is receptive to ideas himself. Eager to learn about America, he says, “I requested my Dharma mother to learn more about Western culture and how things work here. And she was a little bit surprised, and she said, ‘It’s a vast thing. What do you want to begin with?’ And I thought maybe movies. So she gave me some movies to watch, and one of the series was ‘Friends.’ So I’m watching that. And the next was ‘The Simpsons’ And I was surprised to learn that so much Buddhism is even there. Lisa Simpson, she’s a Buddhist.”

Foolish things remind us of, well, network TV By Andy Edelstein Newsday

With today being April Fool’s Day, it’s only right that we take a look at the five most foolish things we’ve seen on TV this season. ‘THE JAY LENO SHOW’ No need to elaborate — this may actually go down as the most foolish decision in networkTV history. VOTING OUT LILLY SCOTT ON ‘AMERICAN IDOL’ In an especially weak field, Scott, left, had a quirky, powerful voice and an indie sensibility that was refreshing for the bland-skewing show. “I don’t know what America wants,” she blurted out in a rare moment of on-air candor. And darn if she wasn’t right! ABC PUTTING ‘FLASHFORWARD’ ON THE SHELF The drama began the season with great expectations (the next “Lost”!). But plots got more

convoluted, the show went on a four-month hiatus, and when it returned two weeks ago, “FF” garnered the lowest ratings in its history. ‘HANK’ At least ABC helped reinvigorate the moribund sitcom with its Wednesday comedy night featuring three new hits (“Modern Family,” “The Middle” and “Cougar Town”). Then, there was this witless show that continued Kelsey Grammer on his post-”Frasier” slide to TV oblivion. ‘THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE’ On paper, this CW drama sounded like a surefire hit: starring a hot model (Elle MacPherson) and a hot actress (Mischa Barton), coming from a hot producer (Ashton Kutcher) and featuring a hot setting (NY fashion world.) But there’s a reason paper is flimsy. “TBL” lasted a mere two episodes, becoming the first network series of the 2009-10 season to be axed.

‘Project Runway’ Palin-hosted ‘Real American alum Bennett Stories’ to debut authors book tonight on Fox By Rod Hagwood Sun Sentinel

By Matea Gold Los Angeles Times

NEW YORK — Sarah Palin’s media domination continues this week with the debut Thursday of “Real American Stories,” a new series on Fox News hosted by the former Alaska governor about people with “real-life tales of overcoming adversity.” The first installment, which airs at 7 tonight in place of “On the Record With Greta Van Susteren,” will feature stories about a Marine who died to save his fellow soldiers and a stock broker who helps underprivileged students pay for college. The series is part of the deal Palin struck in January to join the network as a contributor. The extent of her role on the program is unclear, but she interviewed people in studio for some of the segments. The premiere episode also boasts an eclectic trio of celebrity guests. Country music star Toby Keith will discuss his song “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American),” while rapper LL Cool J and former General Electric Chief Executive Jack Welch will discuss their professional successes in a segment called “In Their Own Words.” “Real American Stories” will re-air at 6 p.m. April 4 The network has not yet announced the date for a second episode. The Fox News series comes on the heels of Palin signing a deal with Discovery Communications to star in a documentary series about Alaska that will air later this year on TLC. “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” the show’s working title, is being produced by A-list reality TV producer Mark Burnett.

“Project Runway’s” Laura Bennett has a book coming out April 6. The acid-tongued Laura Bennett — she of “Project Runway” fame — has set her carnivorously candid musing in print. Whimsically titled “Didn’t I Feed You Yesterday? A Mother’s Guide to Sanity in Stilettos” (Ballantine Books, $24), her book comes out April 6. The unstoppable glamazon dishes out unconventional advice with wild humor in her memoir-of-sorts, which takes her unforgettable turn on “Project Runway” Season 3 (where we all learned the tall, red-head designer was pregnant with her sixth child) and makes the most of her ... um ... strident personality. In the tome, Bennett throws open the doors of her faaaabulous Manhattan life as a mother of five boys ages 3 to 9 (her one daughter is grown and — as you might imagine — left the nest a long time ago). Fittingly, they all live in New York’s fashion district. Married to an older man, the domestically challenged Bennett refuses to slip into mom jeans and comfy shoes. She freely admits: Playing favorites — “Yes, I have a favorite child. All Mothers do, they just won’t admit it.” Not cooking — “I hate cooking. I am not even that fond of eating. Thank God for the babysitters who provide the children with something called ‘meals.’” Hating flying with kids — “I understand why they say, ‘When traveling with children, please secure your own mask before assisting a child.’”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 1, 2010: This year, you might often follow your inner voice. Your sixth sense seems to be on target more times than not. Though an extrovert, you’ll gain from frequent timeouts. In fact, you enjoy your alone time more than ever before. A partnership gains in significance, and if you’re attached, you will blend even more. You also will benefit from weekend getaways together as a couple. If you are single, make sure the apple of your eye is really free before taking the plunge! SCORPIO understands you well. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Allowing others to take the initiative ensures more enthusiasm. It might be hard for you to wait for that moment, but you’ll draw results if you take a lesson in patience. Your intuition with a key person hits square on target. Tonight: Chat during dinner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH A meeting or discussion with a friend charges the moment with vitality. Let others participate in making what you desire a reality. A new friend could make all the difference in the end result. Curb wild risking. Tonight: So many options. Choose the one that puts you with favorite people. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Funnel your energy into a project. A boss or someone you look up to could be quite impressed with how you are

handling yourself. Though you might long to network and visit with others, don’t lose your focus. Tonight: Push as hard as you can. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Let your imagination and fun personality come out when dealing with others. Investigate an idea with care. Check in with a trusted adviser. The possibilities seem to keep growing. Detach for the big picture and opt to see a total vision. Understanding grows. Tonight: Get into the weekend spirit. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to open up to new possibilities, but for some reason, your mind always goes to your home and family. A partner is unusually enthusiastic. Why not allow him or her to run with the ball? This person appears to be a better cheerleader right now. Tonight: Happy to be home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Keep communication flowing. The problem might be that so many people want to chip in and share. Focusing on one train of thought could be difficult with everything that is happening. A partner demands more attention! Tonight: Visit with friends on the way home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Be more aware of your financial situation. You might be encouraged to overspend, perhaps for your work or daily life. You can justify this expenditure with ease. Be smart about your budget. Tonight: OK, treat yourself on the way home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your personality helps move a project far faster than

you thought possible. Encourage others to participate, even if you have to absorb their energy and temporarily derail a conversation. Let the creative person in you emerge. Tonight: Add fun wherever you are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH If you can work from home, do. If you can close your door at work, do. Use your strong ability to concentrate and absorb information. Your creativity flourishes as you absorb facts. Keep fiction and fact separate. Tonight: Vanish while you can. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Emphasize your goals, but don’t lose sight of the people involved. You add a certain flourish through your words, energy and ideas. Others like your presentation, even though they might not agree with your ideas. Tonight: Where the action is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Your efforts count. If you are a boss, how you manage a situation could have strong financial implications. If you’re answering to a boss, how you handle a situation or project could ultimately be a factor leading to a pay raise or promotion. Tonight: Working late. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Lady Luck is on your shoulder, as long as you don’t attempt any financial risks. Express an ability to see the many different sides of an issue. Understand where each person is coming from. Through this process, solutions will evolve. Tonight: Let your imagination go. © 2009 by King Features Syndicate

Hiking in glorious weather is its own reward, as evidenced by these crystal clear views.

Outing Continued from E1 We read a sign warning us about the potential for seeing cougar. We felt prepared to encounter such wildlife. I mean, that’s what you expect to see in an isolated wilderness-type setting like this. Cougars, crazed squirrels, antelope, pythons, yeti — none of these would have surprised us. We didn’t pause long at the base of our mountain, beginning our ascent right away. Quickly, we came upon an unusual marking. It was a post with a sign that read “Dog Waste and Litter Station.” Curious. Similar sign posts continued to dot the landscape. A few steps later, the trail split. We kept to the right, choosing the more extremely rugged path. The ascent was intense and dotted with exotic foliage (which I later learned is called “juniper”). Robin spotted birds among the shrubs. After a long study, we named them “pretty birds.” As we climbed, the views improved. All around us we spied a glorious metropolis. After what felt like hours (actual time 30 minutes), we reached the summit. Through our hard work, determination and preparations we had made it! Now we could tell all of our friends: We reached the top of Pilot Butte. Serious bragging rights. We felt triumphant. Our only regret was not having a flag to stake at the summit of the mountain (although that area was paved, so maybe we would have

We gazed out across the land and contemplated our triumph over nature and topography. In the distance we could barely make out Awbrey Butte to the west and Powell Butte to the east. Signs pointed to mountains in the distance, but the glorious, massive bank of clouds must have kept them hidden that day. After reveling in our amazing feat for 30 to 40 seconds, we began our descent. This time we

chose the paved pathway. That feisty wind continued to pepper us in the face with bits of chilled rain. Back at our car, we piled our soaking selves into the vehicle and headed back to civilization. We agreed this was a fantastic hike — remote, intensely challenging and, given the charming weather, a spot that offered truly gorgeous views. In all, it was certainly the perfect hike for a perfect April Fool’s Day. Alandra Johnson can be reached at 541-617-7860 or at ajohnson@bendbulletin.com.

STUCK IN THE STATUS QUO Melisa Elzey, left, is an employee at ATL Communications and has struggled to find health insurance for her family. Company owner Aelea Christofferson, right, says she and other small businesses have difficulty with health insurance.

elisa Elzey is about four months pregnant and doesn’t know how she’ll get medical care for her baby.

She has insurance for herself but cannot afford it for her husband and three children. The 30year-old works at a small firm, ATL Communications, which offers health insurance but does not contribute to premiums for the family. MO “I’ve got five months to figure it out,” she said. “I’m really hoping for OHP,” she said, referring to the Oregon Health Plan, Oregon’s Medicaid program. Elzey’s boss, company founder Aelea Christofferson, has sympathy for her. Health care is an important issue for Christofferson; she volunteered for a state committee working on health reform. She’s always offered health insurance to her employees but said she’s had to reduce the amount of the premium she pays for employees. She said she

doesn’t pay for families out of fairness to those employees who don’t need the coverage. “Employees have come and said they should get paid more because they’re not on the insurance,” she said. The emN E Y ployees at ATL are paid based on the company’s profits, she explained. “You are taking from their pocket to buy insurance for just some employees.” ATL Communications is caught in a tug of war common to many small businesses. High costs make it harder and harder each year to keep the same benefits. Small group sizes mean that one illness can affect coverage for the entire company. And differences in health care needs can strain the camaraderie of small, usually tight-knit, offices. See Small / F5

Phasing out the ‘slop’ A push for healthier school meals is growing

Correction

By Alfred Lubrano

In a story headlined “A strong shift,” which appeared Thursday, March 25, on Page F1, the proper form for triceps dips was described incorrectly in the caption. Use a bench for the triceps dips and make sure shoulders do not drop below the elbows. The Bulletin regrets the error.

PHILADELPHIA — Charlie Baltimore eyed the pizza in the cafeteria of the High School of the Future with simmering contempt. NUTR “In a year,” the school administrator vowed, “we’re going to eliminate pizza.” Unlike most city schools, the technologically specialized West Philadelphia school has a full kitchen where many meals are prepared practically from scratch. Like just four other schools, it gets $5,000 a year in extra funding from the district to buy fresh produce. There’s even a vegetable garden. Future is emblematic both of what healthy school eating can look like and of Philadelphia’s place in the forefront of cities seeking to improve school meals.

But Future is a relative anomaly. And, according to Baltimore and others, much work has to be done to get other schools in the city — as well as across America — up to that same standard. Denigrating most district meal ITION offerings as “slop,” Baltimore said: “The more we phase out garbage, the better our students will be.” Baltimore’s call for change coincides with a movement to make school meals healthier. There’s a battle on to beat back childhood obesity and to fight hunger among poor children, more of whom are eating subsidized school meals because of the economy. Often, schools serve the only nutritious meals children eat, advocates say. See School meals / F6

At last! Drug that targets menstrual cramps in trial By Shari Roan Los Angeles Times

Well, it’s about time. A British company is attempting to develop a medication designed to target the specific cause of menstrual cramps. The researchers presented data from a Phase 2 clinical trial recently at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in San Francisco. Menstrual cramps are caused by contractions of the uterus and an increase in the hormone vasopressin. The goal of the experimental medication, called VA111913, is to block this hormone. The other remedies women use for relief — painkillers

and birth control pills — only address the symptoms of menstrual cramps, not the cause. “This is a different approach,” said Andy Crockett, vice president of business development for Vantia Ltd., the company developing the drug. “Right now, the current therapies for menstrual cramps are poorly tailored.” While half of all women experience some menstrual cramps, about 10 percent to 20 percent have a severe condition, called dysmenorrhea. “It’s one of the leading causes of work and school absenteeism in the United States,” Crockett said. “We certainly believe this drug has the potential to be a

breakthrough.” It’s still too soon to know if the drug will work, however. It has passed initial safety tests and is now being tested on 100 women in the United Kingdom and three U.S. sites (Peoria, Ariz.; Austin, Texas; and Salt Lake City). The findings from the Phase 2 trial are expected later this year, but it will be several more years until the medication, if proven safe and effective, makes it to the marketplace.

F IN MOTION High-intensity training better than long workouts, study shows Want to get into better shape but don’t have lots of time to work out? Research continues to show the benefit of high-intensity interval training, or HIT, which can maximize your time in the gym. In the latest study, for example, researchers at McMaster University in Canada found HIT to be a time-efficient and safe alternative to traditional types of moderate, longer duration exercises. “Doing 10 one-minute sprints on a standard stationary bike with about one-minute of rest in between, three times a week, works as well in improving muscle as many hours of conventional long-term biking less strenuously,” said Martin Gibala, the lead researcher for the study. The study had the test subjects pedal at less-than-all-out effort, at about 95 percent of the maximum heart rate. (For a rough estimation of your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220.) The researchers found that the test subjects achieved in two hours of total training time over two weeks what it would have taken 10

hours of moderate level activity to complete. “While it’s still a demanding form of training,” Gibala said, “the exercise protocol we used should be possible to do by the general public, and you don’t need more than an average exercise bike.” — Markian Hawryluk, The Bulletin

Simple stretching tricks may leave you raising your eyebrows in wonder By Vicky Hallett The Washington Post

I’ve discovered the secret to touching your toes. It’s a tennis ball. You don’t need to throw it, hit it or catch it. You just need to roll it under each foot for a few seconds. Then put it aside, bend down again and you’re guaranteed to reach a smidge closer to the ground. Feel free to try it. When you’re done gasping, we’ll continue. Is it magic? Nope, it’s anatomy, as I learned last month at the IDEA Personal Trainer Institute in Alexandria, Va., where twice I saw presenters show off this nifty trick, and twice the audience went wild. That’s because even among the gym crowd, most people don’t know much about the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds our muscles. And they know even less about how to manipulate it to improve movement patterns. The ball trick works, explained Justin Price, the author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Functional Training,” because one fascial line extends from the bottoms of your feet, up your legs and behind your back and neck, and ends at the forehead. It acts like a rubber band, so when you bend over, you’re stretching the entire thing. If you have any knots along the way — and just about everyone does — it’s harder for your fingers to sink to the floor. Ideally, the fascia would just glide along the muscles, but whenever you repeat a motion too many times, they stick instead. These adhesions form from patterns of overuse, whether strenuous exercise or lounging on your butt for hours. They’re even caused by wearing shoes and walking only on flat surfaces. “Your feet are restricted all day long, so you know everyone is going to have problems there,” added Price, whose San Diego office has a pile of rocks for his clients to traverse barefoot. Hence, a foot massage helps you get closer to touching your toes. A neck rub could do the trick, too. Even more bizarrely, repeatedly raising your eyebrows might give you another half-inch. That one works because we’re often communicating more with computer screens than with people. As a result, we keep our faces frozen for much of the day. At least one trainer at the conference wasn’t blown away by this news. Tanya Colucci, the director of education at Washington, D.C.’s Mint Fitness, specializes in improving movement, and she has been preaching to her clients for years about the benefits of self-myofascial release, which uses balls and other tools to break up these adhesions.

Look ing for a bike route?

More advice Still can’t quite touch your toes? I have another trick for you to try, courtesy of Bill Sonnemaker, founder of Atlanta’s Catalyst Fitness. Grab either a small ball or a rolled-up towel and squeeze it between your thighs. While keeping that tension, reach for the ground. You can sink lower because pressing together your adductors stabilizes the pelvis. “In doing so, my body can say, ‘I don’t need as much tension in my hamstrings and back,’” Sonnemaker explained. — Vicky Hallett, The Washington Post

Working out with Colucci involves performing a warm-up that starts with lying on your side, propped up on one arm with your feet on top of a foam roller (a firm cylinder). You gradually shift your weight to make the roller slide up your body at a rate of an inch per second, with 20- to 30-second pauses on tight spots. It’s slightly painful while you hold, but when you move the roller past the spot, blood rushes to the area, helping it return to its original state. The idea is to make every exercise you’re going to do more effective. Colucci insists all of her clients get a foam roller for home use. “The ones that progress the fastest do it at least five times a week,” she said. The rest treat it like flossing: Even if they’re not doing it, they know it’s good for them. Her introduction is fairly convincing: The clients do squats, then move a roller along one side of the body and try the squats again. “I have them notice how much better they feel on that side and how the movement is more fluid,” she said. The results extend far beyond feeling good, adds Price, who worries about the dysfunction we all create by too much sitting with our spines hunched over, chests tight, hip flexors on fire and glutes shut down. After all, rolling out to be able to touch your toes better isn’t just about impressing people in yoga class. It’s about being able to pick things off the ground and teaching our bodies to move the way they’re supposed to. Although these self-myofascial release techniques have been around for decades, they have only recently caught on in the personal training realm. The problem? “‘That’s not going to help me lose 20 pounds for my wedding,’” said Price, parroting what clients often say when he suggests spending a chunk of a session lying on a foam roller. The situation is changing as more people seek help not just for weight loss but also for pain.

As a reporter, I can’t tell you how much time online driving directions have saved me. When I’m heading to an interview in a new housing development that doesn’t exist on my now outdated map of Bend, my first step is always a search on MapQuest or Google Maps. Last month, however, Google Maps took its service to a new level, offering directions tailored for riding a bike rather than driving. According to Google, which announced the new feature at the National Bike Summit in Washington, D.C., last month, it was the most requested addition to Google Maps. And I can understand why. Most mapping services provide the most direct route for driving, which is not always the most convenient, the fastest, or the safest route for cyclists. Driving to work from my home in the north end of town, I take the parkway on my way to The Bulletin’s offices. Riding my bike, however, I’ve found a combination of side streets that gets me to the office in as short a time as possible. (On the way home, I like to take the scenic route past Shevlin Park known as the Tumalo Loop.) It’s a route I’ve found through trial and error. But now Google Maps provides the shortcut. The directions, available at www.google.com/maps, work the same way as driving directions. There’s a pull-down menu on the left side of the screen allowing you to set the maps for a bicycle route. Type in a starting address and a destination, and the site provides turn-by-turn, bike-specific routing suggestions, and an estimate of how long it will take to bike there. The suggested routes take advantage of bike trails, bike lanes and bike-friendly streets, and avoid hilly terrain as much as possible. You can customize the route by clicking and dragging the route on the screen. And you can

get a better sense of the route by switching to a satellite view that will provide photos of what the route looks like down to the street level. A search function allows you to find places for a water break or local bike shops along the way. And the search function often suggests alternate routes. If you don’t have a destination but would like to see various bike trails and dedicated bike routes, you can do that as well. Type in your location, then on the drop down menu at the top of the map, click on the “bicycle” box. The site then provides an overlay of the bike routes, with bike-only trails in dark green, dedicated bike lanes in light green and bike-friendly roads in dotted green. This feature isn’t available in all cities. It doesn’t work for Bend yet, but it does for Portland. Google partnered with the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy to provide information in more than 150 cities. I suspect we’ll see routes filter down to smaller cities over time. “The demand for trail maps and information has never been higher, especially as more people recognize biking as a viable, inexpensive and healthy alternative to driving,” said Keith Laughlin, president of Rails-to-Trails. “The addition of biking directions to Google Maps makes life easier for bikers, whether they are commuting to work or biking for fun, and it can introduce our network of trails to a whole new audience of cyclists-to-be.” When I first checked out the feature, I looked to see what route Google would suggest for riding to work. Although the first and last part of its directions pretty much followed my standard route, the site gave me three alternative ways to get through the middle sections. I plan to work my way through those routes this month. So if you see a guy riding his bike through Bend with a set of directions in one hand, it’s probably me.

Sure, each of us would feel better if we would just put down that sugary midafternoon snack, lose the smokes, hit the gym and take those high blood pressure drugs the doctor prescribed. But let’s look at the impact of these health-improving measures as if we were, say, in one of those popular competitive reality shows. If we divided ourselves up into teams along ethnic and geographic lines — say, high-risk urban blacks, white Middle Americans, Asians, Western Native Americans, low-income northern rural whites and low-income Southern rural blacks — who would win the great life-extension contest? According to researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, the low-income Southern black team members have the most to gain by quitting smoking and bringing their weight, blood pressure and blood glucose levels into line with current recommendations. Men would gain an average of 6.7 years of life and women, 5.7 on average, with the greatest gains coming from controlling blood pressure and (for men, anyway) smoking cessation. African Americans from cities with high murder rates come in next with the most to gain by quitting smoking and lowering their blood pressure.

The article, which details the impact that smoking, high blood pressure, insulin resistance and excess weight have on different populations of Americans, appears in the journal Public Library of Science, or PLoS, Medicine. It finds that Asian-Americans’ life spans are the least affected by the big four health scourges. Average life expectancy in that community is 82 years for men and 87 for women, but with optimal health behavior, could reach 87 and 91, respectively. (The PLoS study comes on the immediate heels of a set of studies in the American Journal of Public Health that finds within the ethnically diverse bloc of Asian Americans — long considered the “model minority” in terms of health factors — there are subgroups — for instance, Laotian Hmong, Vietnamese, Cambodian — that suffer unusually elevated risks of certain cancers, due generally to higher rates of smoking or lower rates of screening). How did Middle America — defined as all whites not living in the northern plains or the Dakotas, or in Appalachia or the Mississippi Valley — do? Average life expectancies on that team now stand at 76 for men and about 81 for women. But if everyone on the team pitched in, Middle American men could be living, on average, to 81 and women to 85.

Getting bicycling directions to your destination is similar to getting directions for your car. As an example, we’ve plugged The Bulletin’s address into the starting address field (A), and the destination address (B) is the location of the northeast Albertsons.

CAR ROUTE Google Maps automatically gives you the directions by car.

CHANGING THE ROUTE • Near the starting and destination boxes is a pull-down menu (pictured below). By choosing “Bicycling,” we can find an alternate, more bike-friendly route to the store. • Clicking on the “Bicycling” link also redirects the route.

BIKE ROUTE The route provided usually follows bike lanes and trails.

SOCIAL NETWORKING

By Karen Kaplan Los Angeles Times

Peter DaSilva / New York Times News Service

Amy Tenderich, of Millbrae, Calif., is the community manager for Diabetic Connect, an online social networking site. A Pew study says Internet users with illnesses are more likely to blog or participate in an online discussion about health problems.

Online sites bridge gaps for chronically ill patients By Claire Cain Miller New York Times News Service

A former model who is now chronically ill and struggles just to shower says the people she has met online have become her family. A quadriplegic man uses the Web to share tips on which places have the best wheelchair access, and a woman with multiple sclerosis says her regular Friday night online chats are her lifeline. For many people, social networks are a place for idle chatter about what they made for dinner or sharing cute pictures of their pets. But for people living with chronic diseases or disabilities, they play a more vital role. “It’s really literally saved my life, just to be able to connect with other people,” said Sean Fogerty, 50, who has multiple sclerosis, is recovering from brain cancer and spends an hour and a half each night talking with other patients online. People fighting chronic illnesses are less likely than others to have Internet access, but once online they are more likely to blog or participate in online discussions about health problems, according to a report by the Pew Internet and American Life Project and the California HealthCare Foundation. “If they can break free from the anchors holding them down, people living with chronic disease who go online are finding resources that are more useful than the rest of the population,” said Susannah Fox, associate director of digital strategy at Pew and author of the report. They are gathering on big patient networking sites like PatientsLikeMe, HealthCentral, Inspire, CureTogether and Alliance Health Networks, and on small sites started by patients on networks like Ning and Wetpaint. Sherri Connell, 46, modeled and performed in musicals until, at age 27, she learned she had multiple sclerosis and Lyme disease. She began posting her journal entries online for friends and family to read. Soon, people from all over the world were reading her Web site and telling her they had similar health problems. In 2008, she and her husband started a social network called My Invisible Disabilities Community. It now has 2,300 members who write about living with lupus, forthcoming operations or medical bills, for example. “People have good and bad days, and they don’t know a good day’s going to come Wednesday

at 5 o’clock when a live support group is meeting,” Connell said.

Making connections Not surprisingly, according to Pew, Internet users with chronic illnesses are more likely than healthy people to use the Web to look for information on specific diseases, drugs, health insurance, alternative or experimental treatments and depression, anxiety or stress. But for them, the social aspects of the Web take on heightened importance. Particularly if they are homebound, they also look to the Web for their social lives, discussing topics unrelated to their illnesses. John Linna, a pastor in Neenah, Wis., did not know what a blog was when his son suggested he start one after discovering he needed to stay home on a ventilator. “That day my little world began to expand,” he wrote in a post last year about blogging. “Soon I had a little neighborhood. It was like stopping in for coffee every day just to see how things were going.” When Linna died earlier this year, people all over the Web who had never met him in person mourned the loss. Others use the Web to find practical tips about living with their disease or disability that doctors and family members, having not lived with it themselves, cannot provide. On Diabetic Connect, a diabetes social network with 140,000 members, people share recipes like low-sugar banana pudding, review products like an insulin pump belt and have discussions like a recent one started by a patient with a new diagnosis. “I don’t like to talk to my family and friends about this,” she wrote. “Honestly I feel helpless. I really just need some advice and people to talk to who might have been experiencing the same things.” Amy Tenderich is the community manager for Diabetic Connect and writes a blog called Diabetes Mine. “There’s no doctor in the world, unless they’ve actually lived with this thing, that can get into that nitty-gritty,” she said. “I’ve walked away from dinner parties with tears in my eyes because people just don’t understand.” Patients often use social networks to interact with people without worrying about the stigma of physical disabilities, said Susan Smedema, an assistant

professor of rehabilitation counseling at Florida State University who studies the psychosocial aspects of disability.

A real-life perspective From her home in Maine, Susan Fultz plays online games at Pogo.com and commiserates with people who are frustrated that they do not have a diagnosis for their symptoms. “There’s no worry of being judged or criticized, and that is something that I know a lot of us don’t get in our daily lives,” said Fultz, who has Lyme disease and psoriatic arthritis. Those with chronic diseases or disabilities, like all Internet users, have to be wary about sharing private health information online, particularly with anonymous users. Research has also shown that emotions can be contagious, said Paul Albert, digital services librarian at Weill Cornell Medical Library in New York who has researched how social networks meet the needs of patients with chronic diseases. Some people also worry that patients might exchange erroneous medical information on the Web, he said. Yet most patient social networks make clear that the information on the site should not substitute for medical advice, and the Pew study found that just 2 percent of adults living with chronic diseases report being harmed by following medical advice found on the Internet. Instead, the sites are used to share information from the front lines, said Lily Vadakin, 45, who has multiple sclerosis and works as a site administrator for Disaboom, a social network for people with disabilities. For instance, she has discussed with other patients how to combat fatigue by working at home and taking vitamin supplements. “That’s what the community can give you — a real-life perspective,” she said.

If you’re still upset about last fall’s recommendation by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force that women begin getting mammograms to screen for breast cancer at age 50 instead of 40 — and to get them every other year instead of annually — a new study from Denmark may put you at ease. Mammographic screening was introduced in the Danish capital of Copenhagen in 1991, and it began in Funen County (home of Hans Christian Andersen) in 1993. Between 1997 and 2006, deaths due to breast cancer fell 5 percent per year among women age 35 to 55 in those areas. For women between age 55 and 74 — who would benefit most from screening — the mortality rate dropped by 1 percent per year, and for older women there was little change. Looks like a success for breast cancer screening right? Not so fast, the researchers said. They also checked the corresponding mortality rates for the 80 percent of Danish women who didn’t participate in screening programs. In those areas, breast cancer deaths in the same decade declined 6 percent per year for women age 35 to 55 and by 2 percent per year for women age 55 to 74. (Again, there was little year-to-year change among older women.) Those findings led the researchers to conclude that improved treatments and changes in risk factors were responsible for the reduction in breast cancer mortality, not the mammograms. The researchers, from the University of Copenhagen and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, also noted that the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ — a non-invasive growth in a milk duct that sometimes progresses to breast cancer — remained essentially flat in the nonscreening areas but doubled in Copenhagen and Funen County. That jibes with the concern expressed by Dr. Susan Love and others that mammograms flag many cases of DCIS that prompt invasive treatments, but wouldn’t have been harmful if left alone. They also note that their conclusions are in line with studies from other countries. In the U.K., for example, breast cancer mortality rates declined 41 percent for women in their 40s (who don’t get routine mammograms) and 41 percent for women between age 50 and 64 (who do). In Sweden, screening was introduced after death rates started to fall and continued falling at a constant rate, suggesting that mammograms had little effect. “We believe it is time to question whether screening has delivered the promised effect on breast cancer mortality,” the researchers wrote. Their study was published online this week in British Medical Journal.

Study: Pain meds are on the hot seat By Rachel Saslow The Washington Post

In 2006, the New England Journal of Medicine published a $12.5 million study saying that, for most people, glucosamine and chondroitin do not soothe knee pain much better than a placebo. Try telling that to patients who swear that the supplements have helped their aching knees or backs — a position that the study’s lead researcher, Daniel Clegg of the University of Utah School of Medicine, finds himself in often. “There are people who just feel like they’re very effective, and it’s hard to say, ‘You should not take them,’” Clegg, a rheumatologist, says. “I tell patients that I don’t think there’s clear evidence that they’re effective, but there’s nothing to suggest that they’re unsafe.” The supplements are promoted for anyone with joint pain, including people who suffer from the most common type of arthritis, osteoarthritis. But Clegg says both glucosamine and chondroitin are broken down during digestion and there’s no evidence that they are incorporated into the deteriorating cartilage that is characteristic of the disease. For the Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial, or GAIT, Clegg and his colleagues followed 1,583 osteoarthritis patients for 24 weeks.

They found that overall, the supplements “were not significantly better” than the placebo in reducing pain: 64 percent of the people taking glucosamine, 65 percent of those taking chondroitin and 66 percent taking a combination of the two had at least 20 percent less pain at the end of the study, compared with 60 percent of those taking the placebo. (Side effects were minimal or, more often, nonexistent, according to the study.) According to the Nutrition Business Journal, Americans spent $838 million on glucosamine and chondroitin in 2008, up 1 percent from 2007. A 60day supply of Osteo Bi-Flex glucosamine and chondroitin combination pills costs about $35. A 24-pack of Joint Juice, which provides a daily dose of glucosamine, sets one back $35 as well. Glucosamine and chondroitin, both found naturally in the body, help grease your joints, so to speak. More scientifically, glucosamine is a modified sugar believed to play a role in the formation of cartilage, the connective tissue that cushions the ends of bones; chondroitin gives cartilage elasticity. Clegg calls the results of GAIT “unsatisfying” and “difficult,” because doctors don’t have many therapies to offer the 27 million adults in the United States who live with osteoarthritis.

Is It The Juniper?

Clear One, Medicare & most other insurances accepted

Each spring, fall and summer trees release pollen. This is when pollen allergy takes its toll on us. The job of pollen is to fertilize other plants, but quite often pollen winds up entering our noses and throats, making our lives difficult if not simply miserable. Interestingly, plants with bright colored flowers usually don’t bother pollen allergy sufferers. It is the plain looking trees and plants that cause the greatest allergy symptoms. Here in Central Oregon, Juniper, Mountain Cedar and Pine are significantly problematic. Juniper and Cedar pollen cause asthma, hayfever, and allergic conjunctivitis usually starting in late February or March and lasting until April or May. Often people develop contact skin reactions with hives or itchy rashes in early February. These pollens have been observed to travel great distances of 200 km according to wind patterns. Juniper may be unique in causing allergic rhinitis in patients who have no other sensitivities. It has further been observed that after a couple of years of moderate exposure, even the least allergic person will develop a Juniper allergy. Symptoms Include: • Sneezing often accompanied by a runny or clogged nose. • Coughing or a postnasal drip. • Itching eyes, nose, and throat. • Allergic shiners (dark circles under the eyes cause by increased blood flow near the sinuses). • Watery, itchy, inflamed eyes. • Mental dullness and fatigue. The right care can make the difference between suffering and feeling better. By visiting an experienced allergist, you can expect an accurate diagnosis, a comprehensive treatment plan that works and educational information.

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, April 1, 2010 F5

M Small Continued from F1 “There’s this automatic feeling that (for small businesses, offering insurance is a matter of) greed or not greed,” said Christofferson. “It’s much more complicated than that.” Small businesses have struggled to provide health insurance in the past few years and many have dropped it altogether. Between 1999 and 2009, the number of firms with fewer than 10 workers that offered health insurance dropped from 56 percent to 46 percent, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health care research organization. In recognition of these difficulties, reform efforts at the local, state and national level have focused on small businesses. The hope, thanks to efforts at each level of government, including the passage of the federal health care reform bill last month, is that it will soon be easier for small business owners and their workers to get good coverage.

Small business, big problems ATL, located in a strip mall in Sunriver, helps other companies set up and manage toll-free phone numbers. The business is friendly, with an office dog and a policy that new babies get to come to work. The seven full-time employees sit in one room, with no barriers between desks. Health coverage is a big issue for them and affects seemingly unrelated parts of the business. One big concern, said Christofferson, is making hiring decisions. She said it’s hard to ignore health insurance issues when hiring because the new employee’s circumstances can change the rates for all employees. “I’m going to affect everyone else by who I hire.” She said the company tries to be as fair as possible to employees, even when it’s left some of them in a hard position. With Elzey, Christofferson said, she feels the company is caught. “She realizes how hard we’ve tried to do the right thing.” Elzey said she appreciates her job and what it has given her. “We make decent money here,” she said. But the $1,200 per month it would cost for her to insure her family, she said, is more than half her take home pay and too expensive for her. She previously had OHP for her children but a raise last year bumped her income above the eligibility line. Since the raise, her kids have gone without coverage. She pays for doctor visits and emergency room trips out of pocket, she said. She currently pays about $300 a month for medical bills that have gone to collections. She said that jobs she previously had, at larger companies, paid more toward her benefits. “It makes it harder to work for a small business.”

Tough times Other businesses are facing similar issues. This year, Carlson Sign Co. switched insurance companies, paid a 2 percent premium increase and bumped its deductible from $2,000 to $5,000, said owner Peter Carlson. He was not pleased about the decrease in benefits for his employees. “If someone gets sick, it’s going to be a lot more money on the front end,” he said. After payroll, Carlson said, health care is his highest business expense and can affect his business decisions. “It certainly factors into the equation of whether you want to hire additional people.” Still, he said, it’s important for him to offer it to employees. “I want them to continue to have a reason to come to work.” Small businesses have a tougher time with health care costs than larger companies for several reasons. First, they are often dealing with smaller amounts of money, so they simply can’t absorb cost increases the way a larger organization can. Second, small businesses don’t have the negotiating power that a large company does. To an insurer, “it’s one thing if you’re $10,000 in premiums a year. It’s another if you’re $5 million,” said Tom Spear, president of Johnson Benefit Planning, a Bend-based benefit consulting firm. Small businesses, he said, have to take the rates given by an insurer or take their business elsewhere. Finally, small firms do not have the ability to spread risk the way

a large company does. For example, in a larger company, one sick employee will be balanced by, say, 100 healthy workers. But in a small firm, one sick employee can dramatically affect the policy. Similarly, because age is a huge factor in premium cost, an older worker in a small firm can drive up premiums for the rest of the firm, even if that worker is not sick. That’s what happened at ATL Communications. “We were all happy when … my assistant turned 65 because it was dragging down our insurance,” said Christofferson.

New solutions At the state and national level, there are changes that will alter the way small businesses purchase insurance and perhaps alleviate some of the problems they face. The health reform act recently passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama will allow businesses with fewer than 25 employees to take a tax credit this year of up to 35 percent if they pay at least half of their employees’ premiums. In 2014, that credit will increase to a 50 percent maximum. The intent is to offset some of the costs of buying insurance, said Sean Kolmer, deputy administrator for the Office of Oregon Health Policy and Research. “It’s really a great help for small businesses that want to do the right thing.” The federal legislation also creates insurance exchanges, which were already in the works in Oregon thanks to a state health reform bill passed in 2009. The federal legislation, Kolmer said, complements the state efforts and may accelerate the creation of the Oregon exchange. The insurance exchanges, which will be created for both individuals and small businesses, will allow people to purchase insurance in the same way that many people now buy airline tickets. Customers will go online and be able to compare different companies’ policies in one central place. The idea, said Kolmer, is to make the insurance market more transparent “so people really understand what they’re buying.” However, unlike the airline industry, the insurance exchanges may also change the structure of insurance. Employees participating in the exchanges will be pooled with other employees from different companies, so that the groups of people buying insurance are larger. This will allow the small businesses to take advantage of the greater number of people in one plan and spread risk across that pool. “You have a group of 200,000 in the exchange versus seven” in current arrangements, said Kolmer. In addition to state and federal efforts, there are some local efforts to help employees of small businesses get health insurance. The Bend Chamber of Commerce announced in February an insurance product open to all members in Central Oregon that would allow small businesses to buy insurance at discounted prices. The plan pools employees from all participating chamber members into one group, allowing for the spreading of risk across a larger group. Another effort at HealthMatters, a local nonprofit organization, created a health coverage product for employees who are not offered health insurance at work. The product, known as a three-share plan, requires contributions from the employer, the employee and the community. The “community” piece of the funding comes from grants to the nonprofit. That product will begin enrolling members May 1. HealthMatters’ product is meant to “fill the gap between those who can’t afford traditional insurance and those who make too much for OHP,” said the group’s outreach manager Jessi Rawlings. The organizers around these efforts hope these new products and rules make it easier for people like Christofferson and Elzey to retain health coverage. For Elzey, change can’t come soon enough. “Now that I’m going to have a baby, I don’t know what I’m going to do.” Even talking about it, she said, made her feel anxious. “If you are offered health insurance, you are supposed to take it. But there’s no way I can afford it.” Betsy Q. Cliff can be reached at 541-383-0375 or bcliff@bendbulletin.com.

VIRTUAL HOUSE CALL

VITAL S TATS

New service offers online doctor visits By Jan Jarvis McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Got a nagging cough, but it’s 11 p.m. and too late to arrange a doctor’s office visit? In the age of the virtual house call, the doctor is always online and ready to chat. NowClinic.com has a service that for $45 connects patients with physicians for 10 minutes in cyberspace. “I don’t think hands-on care will ever be replaced, but this is another tool,” said Dr. John Willis, a Mansfield, Texas, internist with the physician group MedicalEdge Healthcare. “I think of this as an evolution of the doc in the box.” Texas is the first state where Minnesota-based OptumHealth is offering the service. The company has contracted with five medical groups in the state, including MedicalEdge, to provide the service and plans to expand NowClinic nationwide. A similar service was introduced last year in Hawaii through Blue Cross Blue Shield, and the concept is fast catching on. By 2013, an estimated 25 percent of care that can appropriately be delivered online will be, according to OptumHealth. The service is an example of consumer-focused healthcare and addresses problems that almost every American has run into at least once, such as running out of prescription medicine on a weekend or when out of town, said Jonathan Linkous, CEO of the American Telemedicine Association. By making medical care accessible 24 hours a day, NowClinic is aiming at people without insurance and consumers who can’t get a doctor’s appointment quickly when they want one. Consumers simply log onto a secure site and chat with a physician in real time through instant messaging or webcam. They can also talk over the phone. The goal is to provide quality, convenient health care, said Chris Stidman, senior vice president of OptumHealth. “It is not intended to ever be a substitute for face-to-face, inoffice interaction with a physician,” he said. “But there are circumstances where a physician can deliver care or meet the needs of consumers via other modalities.” The absence of a hands-on exam and established relationship between doctor and patient troubles the Texas Medical Board, which is revising its telemedicine policies to deal with the concept. The goal is to be broad enough to not hinder patient access but also make sure telemedicine is practiced safely, said Leigh Hopper, board spokeswoman. The Texas Medical Association has also raised concerns. “We support telemedicine but only when a proper patient-physician relationship is established,” said Dr. William Fleming, the group’s president. “Once that relationship is established, we have no problem with it.” OptumHealth has determined that NowClinic meets Texas’ guidelines, Stidman said. In the end, the physician makes decisions about the patient’s care. How to regulate online services is an issue that more states will grapple with as laws try to catch up with fast-changing technology, Linkous said. “It’s a new area, and there are some regulatory hurdles to overcome,” he said. “But it is part of the emerging world, using technology to have healthcare go directly to the consumer.” The service is not appropriate for emergencies, said Dr. Shehetaj Abdurrahim, a Dallas internist who was already communicating with her patients through e-mail when she signed up with NowClinic. But for common maladies such as upper respiratory or urinary tract infections, it’s really not

A new Web site is giving patients a way to have their questions answered by their doctor without getting an appointment. necessary to see the patient in the clinic, she said. Roughly one-third of people report having difficulty getting timely appointments for routine care, according to OptumHealth. The 9-to-5 schedule typical at doctor’s offices simply doesn’t fit the way people live today, Willis said. “Patients are looking for more options and flexibility,” he said. “That does not necessarily mean they are looking for something to replace their primary physician.” But when a primary physician can’t be reached, an online doctor can fax a prescription to the pharmacy, within limits. An online doctor won’t prescribe controlled substances, for example, and will limit quantities if there are concerns about the patient. For example, when a patient seeking high blood pressure medication doesn’t have recent blood work on file, the physician might order just a few pills to get him through the weekend. Doctors benefit as well. Physicians already spend a lot of time responding to messages relayed from the patient through a nurse, Abdurrahim said. And every exchange has to be documented. With the online service, patients can get their answers directly from the doctor. Online doctor visits can also take some of the burden off busy hospital emergency rooms and fill the gap created by a shortage of primary care physicians.

Feeling nervous about your doctor visit? No need to fret By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Going to the doctor for a checkup or a diagnosis is near the bottom of many people’s list of desired activities. Nurses pass along these tips for feeling less on edge: Leave early for an appointment. Doctors try to run on time, but the reality is they often don’t. Bring something relaxing to do in the waiting room. Avoid caffeine. Stop drinking soda, coffee and other caffeinated products at least an hour before your appointment. Caffeine can cause extra jitters and also raise your blood pressure. Bring company. Ask a family member or friend to come to your appointment. You’ll have a nice distraction in the waiting room and, if you want, an extra set of ears when your doctor

gives you advice. Communicate your fears. Tell your doctor up front if you are nervous and let her know what part of an appointment scares you the most. Stay in the loop. Have your doctor explain what’s going on at different stages of the visit to avoid surprises. Use visualization. During shots and blood draws, close your eyes and picture yourself in a favorite place (looking away from needles also can help reduce pain). Relax your muscles as much as possible and breathe slowly and deeply. Try not to be embarrassed. While you may feel uncomfortable with being naked or discussing sensitive health topics, your doctor likely has seen and heard it all before — often many times a day.

F6 Thursday, April 1, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

N School meals Continued from F1 Congress is expected to vote on the reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act, which funds the $12 billion-a-year school-meal programs, among others. It’s the first reauthorization in more than five years, and President Obama, who has pledged to end child hunger by 2015, wants to add $10 billion to it over 10 years. His administration also wants to increase the reimbursement rate for meal programs, saying it will help districts afford healthier food. Though many suburban districts have fewer poor students, a move to more healthful offerings would apply to those schools as well. Recently, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack asked the nonprofit Institute of Medicine, the health arm of the National Academy of Sciences, to assess school meals. The U.S. Department of Agriculture administers school food programs. The conclusion: Too much sugar, salt and fat. First lady Michelle Obama, in Philadelphia last month for her campaign against childhood obesity, concurred. The institute did the first major overhaul of school nutritional rules since the 1970s, said the director of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Nutrition Center, Virginia Stallings, who headed the effort. The report calls for more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, while limiting fat, calories and sodium. If accepted, the IOM’s recommendations could be in place by 2011. The reauthorization is also inspiring proposed changes rooted in a 19-year-old local program. Further, Vilsack announced that the reauthorization bill should limit the sale of high-sugar drinks and snacks in school vending machines. And he wants to curtail “a la carte” items — non-USDA-sanctioned snacks that schools sell to make money. Change is vital, say doctors who see obese children with adult illnesses such as high blood pressure and diabetes. The nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine wants to improve nutrition by mandating vegetarian meals in schools, said Kathryn Strong, the organization’s dietitian. Others agree. “If we take 100 calories a day out of school meals, we move the needle on obesity,” said Gary Foster, director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University. The Institute of Medicine is attacking calories. Until now, USDA school-meal guidelines have stipulated minimum calories only, without any upper limits. In the 1970s when the minimums were first set, doctors were worried that children weren’t eating enough, Stallings said.

Tweak your taste buds: Here’s how By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

It really is possible to develop a taste for healthy foods you’ve avoided for years, nutritionists say. Go slow. Make one small change at a time over a period of weeks. As your taste buds adapt, gradually add in more vegetables, fruit and seafood. Stay away from plain. Don’t start off with a plate of raw broccoli. Instead, mix pureed or diced vegetables into foods you already like, such as macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, chili, seasoned noodles, sauces, soups or baked goods. Use flavoring. Vegetables can taste much better with some herbs and spices, Cajun seasoning and healthy dips such as hummus — or simply grilled with a little salt, pepper and garlic. Be adventurous. Every time you go to the grocery store, buy one fruit or vegetable you’ve never tried before. You’re likely to stumble on a new favorite. Give fish a chance. Different types of fish don’t taste the same; some are much less “fishy” than others. Milder forms include tilapia, cod and flounder. Ask your store’s seafood department for recommendations.

Michael S. Wirtz / Philadelphia Inquirer

Wanda Slaughter, food service manager at the High School of the Future in Philadelphia, turns over a chicken stir-fry with red peppers and onions, which will be served for lunch. For example, the only rule about calories in lunches for kids in grades seven through 12 has been that they contain at least 825 calories. The new proposal calls for a range of calories: no fewer than 750 calories, but no more than 850 calories per lunch for that age group. “That’s a big change,” Stallings said, acknowledging that the institute’s recommendations would increase food costs — 18 percent for breakfast, 4 percent for lunch. A whole-grain bun can be 10 cents more than a regular bun, said Wayne Grasela, senior vice president of the division of food services for Philadelphia schools. As a remedy, Vilsack is asking Congress for an increase in the USDA reimbursement. Throughout the country, the USDA reimburses school districts for meals on a scale con-

nected to income. The agency pays $2.68 per free lunch for children whose families live below 130 percent of the U.S. poverty level; $2.28 for reduced-price lunches for children at 130 to 185 percent of poverty; and about 25 cents for full-price lunches for those above 185 percent. (The poverty level for a family of four is about $22,000.) Breakfast reimbursements run about $1 less per meal. The nonprofit School Nutrition Association requested a 35-centper-meal increase. In 2009, about 32 million children participated in the schoollunch program, with nearly 64 percent receiving free or reducedprice meals, USDA figures show. About 11 million ate breakfast at school, with about 84 percent eating free or reduced-price meals. From 2008 through 2009, the

number of children eating subsidized lunch nationwide increased by 600,000, attributable to the bad economy, Wootan said. About 20 percent of the food in school cafeterias comes from the USDA commodities program, a list of 180 foods donated by the agency. The rest is purchased on the open market with reimbursement dollars. Beef and cheese make up 75 percent of the items districts get from the commodities list, Wootan said. Many districts — Philadelphia included — divert fresh commodities to processors, Wootan said. “Too many schools turn chicken into nuggets, or pork into pizza toppings,” she said. While students carp about school meals, they’re superior to most foods kids consume outside school, experts say. Since 2007, Foster of Temple and others have followed a group of fourth through eighth graders from 10 Philadelphia schools in the streets. The results: Even a poor child would spend an average of $1.07 per stop in a corner store. Kids took in an average of 360 calories each time, mostly from chips and drinks. It’s difficult to alter children’s eating habits, advocates say. But these days, there’s a growing will to try. “There’s change coming,” said Charlie Baltimore. “From the White House down, there’s more interest. We’ll get where we want.”
