Two months after Marty Fraser’s neighbor began building a garage and what looks like an apartment without a permit, Fraser can’t understand why Deschutes County’s code enforcement technicians didn’t stop it earlier.

Fraser, 73, and other neighbors who live in their subdivision southwest of Bend, have called county code enforcement on an almost daily basis, but the county did not stop Matthew Eitel from finishing the structure, Fraser said.

“Snow, rain, whatever it was doing, Matt Eitel was building,” Fraser said. “I called the county, they said they went out and warned them. (The Eitels) weren’t supposed to do anything else. It kept going, and now the building’s up.”

Deschutes County’s current code enforcement policy is to work with people who break the code, and get them to voluntarily fix problems.

But the Deschutes County Commission is now considering whether to change that, and county commissioners have said people who flagrantly disregard laws regarding buildings, solid waste, environmental health and land use should face stiff consequences. The issue is slated for discussion at Wednesday’s commission meeting.

‘Patient dumping’ burdens hospitals

By Michael Vitez The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — When the afternoon sunlight streamed in her hospital window, slashing through the venetian blinds, the shadows made Soon Ja Kim, 83, look as if she were behind bars.

In a real sense, she was.

She was admitted Dec. 23 and spent all winter in a private room at Abington Memorial Hospital. She watched the record snows outside her window and was still there for the purple crocuses of spring.

Kim was approved for discharge Dec. 27, four days after she arrived. But she had nowhere to go. Her family had left her in Abington’s emergency room with no intention of returning to get her.

Neither of the 2 front-runners has ever held elected office, but some analysts say that’s an advantage

Rethinking water usage

By Nick Budnick The Bulletin

SALEM — Political analysts say outsider candidates should enjoy 2010, and Oregon’s two Republican gubernatorial frontrunners certainly hope so.

Businessman Allen Alley and former NBA player Chris Dudley have never held elected office. But pollsters say that either one, despite being relatively unknown to voters, has a realistic chance at becoming the state’s first Republican governor in 24 years.

In fact, Bob Tiernan, chairman of the Oregon GOP, says this year’s election represents Republicans’ best shot at the governor’s seat since Dave Frohnmayer’s 1990 bid was foiled by independent Al Mobley’s run as a social conservative. In terms of voters’ moods, Tiernan said, “I think this is a much better time than when Frohnmayer ran.”

Though there are nine candidates running on the Republican side, only Alley, a former hightech CEO who ran for state treasurer in 2008, and Dudley, an investment manager who played for the Portland Trail Blazers, are being given a real chance at winning the nomination.

In terms of political stands, neither candidate can point to any significant differences in their platforms. Both are pro-business, social moderates who say they will bring a badly needed dose of fiscal conservatism to Oregon’s state government. Both men say they will tackle a projected $2.5 billion hole in Oregon’s 2011-13 budget immediately upon taking office, and both plan to make program cuts as well as take on growing costs from Oregon’s Public Employees Retirement System.

Bend couple wants their home to run on rainwater and graywater, but getting permits is proving tricky

GREEN

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

Editors note: Tom Elliott and Barbara Scott invited The Bulletin to follow their building project — to build the greenest home possible — from start to finish to share their goals, decisions, costs, concerns, problems and achievements, and to be an open book on what it takes to build such a home. The Bulletin will follow the couple’s project through periodic stories. This installment examines the challenges facing the home’s water and wastewater plans.

T

om Elliott and Barbara Scott should get used to hearing, “No.” The couple, who are designing a sustainable and efficient dream home in northwest Bend, are pushing the envelope of what city planners and regulators are used to approving, said Morgan Brown, a water specialist with Idaho’s Whole Water Systems.

They’re proposing to collect rainwater for all household uses — including drinking water — and to treat and reuse wastewater. And those kinds of new efforts, especially within city limits, are bound to run into obstacles, Brown warned.

“Normally, within a sewer district, the first 20 answers will be, ‘No,’” he said last week at a meeting in the home of Elliott and Scott.

But with three months left until they hope to begin construction, the couple and their design team are brainstorming ways for their house to be as independent as possible from the city of Bend’s water and sewer system, in order to meet the requirements of the Living Building Challenge.

“It’s a lot of thinking. It’s not (just), ‘Hook up to the city and

turn the faucet,’” Scott said. “It’s really putting us to the test.”

The Living Building Challenge sets strict standards for sustainable houses, including producing all the necessary electricity on-site and only using nontoxic, environmentally friendly building materials.

The water requirements are designed to “really redefine the way we think about water, pushing that notion that water really is a precious resource,” said Eden Brukman, vice president of the International Living Building Institute, based in Seattle.

ELECTION

Rainwater and graywater To meet program standards, the home can only use collected water from rain and snow.

“The precipitation that falls on the building site is what’s available — which in our climate is tight,” said M.L. Vidas, owner of Sustainable Design Services and part of the team working on Elliott’s and Scott’s house.

So the first thing to do, she said, is ensure all of the plumbing fixtures — showerheads, toilets, the washing machine, dishwasher and more — are as water efficient as possible.

As a retired clinical psychologist, Clark Martin was well acquainted with traditional treatments for depression, but his own case seemed untreatable as he struggled through chemotherapy and other grueling regimens for kidney cancer. Counseling seemed futile; so did antidepressants.

Nothing had any lasting effect until, at age 65, he had his first psychedelic experience. He left his home in Vancouver, Wash., to take part in an experiment at Johns Hopkins medical school involving psilocybin, the psychoactive ingredient found in certain mushrooms. Today, Martin credits that six-hour experience with helping him overcome his depression and profoundly transforming his relationships with his daughter and friends.

At New Media Strategies in Arlington County, Va., employees help corporate clients get their products out to Twitter and bloggers, and manage their online reputations. NMS was among the first digital PR firms to focus on word-of-mouth marketing.

Good review online may just be good PR Web comments often aren’t as objective as you might think

By Michael S. Rosenwald The Washington Post

It didn’t take long for Julie Liu — late 20s, smart phone-addicted, constant Googler — to get hooked on the online review site Yelp.

Where to eat Friday night? Read some reviews by random anonymous diners. Oh, that looks good.

Book a table online, show up, eat.

But after Liu and her sister opened Scion restaurant in Washington, D.C., they saw Yelp from a different angle. Liu said Yelp’s salespeople phoned repeatedly, telling her that if she advertised on the site, negative reviews would move lower on Scion’s page and positive reviews would move up.

Liu decided to fight back, joining nine other businesses last month in a class-action lawsuit against Yelp alleging similar tactics — claims that Yelp executives deny. “Yelp does not manipulate content on behalf of advertisers or penalize those who don’t advertise,” a spokesman said.

The case raises questions not just about a site with 10 million reviews, but also about whether the booming economy of online reviews and product recommendations by everyday folks on Web sites and social networks is anything but what meets the eye.

Not what it seems What appears at first to be a spin-free, grass-roots marketplace of opinions and recommendations is rapidly turning into a hotly contested battleground where public relations firms and a new breed of imagemakers help businesses counter negative online comments and manage their online reputations.

Companies including NBC, Sony and Microsoft partner with such firms as Ad.ly, paying individual Twitter users to allow commentary about products in their Twitter feeds. The posts are marked as ads in parentheses but look like regular tweets.

Some Web sites offer cash for reviews. For $2.50 each, Review Stream.com says, “You could review anything around you including: any products, hi-end technics, companies, hotels, politics, cities, stores on your street, or even your neighbor’s pets!”

PR companies track people who post negative comments about everything from pizza to gadgets and then offer those naysayers free products or technical support, hoping to reverse the flow of opinion about their clients’ goods. Many startups sell online tools that scrutinize Twitter and Facebook to rank users’ online influence, helping manufacturers, hoteliers, restaurateurs and PR firms figure out who can best spread messages quickly.

“It is critical for us to understand who is important,” said Jonny Bentwood, an Edelman PR executive who created a Twitter scoring system called Tweet Lev-

Did you know?

Researchers who study online recommendations say most consumers don’t realize that marketing firms are working to influence what they read online.

Nor do they realize, unless they read some fine print, that sites such as Yelp let businesses that advertise on the site list their favorite review first, regardless of how recently that comment was posted.

Only after clicking a blue link above the review would a user see this disclaimer: “Yelp sponsors can highlight one of their favorite reviews at the top of their business page.” el. “We want to understand who the key influencers are, what they are saying and what their impact is.”

New type of marketing In olden days — like 10 years ago — companies big and small reached consumers through massmarketing campaigns, interrupting magazine articles, TV shows or music on the radio with clever ads. Technologies such as TiVo, satellite radio and iPods have reduced advertisers’ opportunities to break into consumers’ media usage. The prospects for online advertising are uncertain: More than 40 percent of surfers don’t click on ads, according to a Pew Research Center study.

Online, the authority once vested in journalists and advertisers is often granted to total strangers: Seventy percent of Internet users trust online recommendations and reviews, according to a Nielsen study.

“People are tired of traditional ad messages, and they feel that connecting with other consumers is more helpful,” said Chris Dellarocas, a Boston University management professor who studies online comments. “It’s more fun.

Consumers love to interact.”

Although consumers no doubt still get tips about new restau-

rants and businesses in old-fashioned ways — at the office or kids’ soccer games — marketers are focusing their energy on changing the word of mouth on the Web. Digital word-of-mouth marketing is expected to top $3 billion a year by 2013.

Bloggers on board And that explains why an Arlington County, Va., company named New Media Strategies reached out last year to a popular Brooklyn blogger named Aly Walansky.

Founded 11 years ago by former political pollster Pete Snyder, NMS was one of the earliest digital PR firms to focus on word of mouth. NMS employees, most in their late 20s or early 30s, sit wired and caffeinated in a newsroom-like setting, tapping away at computers with double monitors to contact bloggers and Tweeters so they can offer everything from behind-the-scenes access to clients to free stuff.

NMS represents, among other corporate giants, Chrysler, NBC, Intel, Sony Pictures and Domino’s.

Last year, Domino’s launched a new recipe for its pizza. To help the company, NMS identified hundreds of bloggers who influence what people eat and offered many of them coupons so they could try the new pizza for free.

Snyder says there was no quid pro quo: Bloggers could say whatever they wanted about the product.

Walansky, who often reviews food and beauty products, liked the new recipe — as did almost every blogger the company contacted. NMS also offered Walansky a Domino’s gift card so she could run a giveaway contest on her blog.

“To all my pizza lovers out there: Domino’s has a new pizza recipe, and it’s delicious!” Walansky wrote on her blog. “Everything has been upgraded — the dough, the sauce, even the cheese, and we are grateful.”

Walansky’s endorsement and contest got nearly 200 readers to add their own comments.

SAN FRANCISCO — Bill Gross, the serial entrepreneur who pioneered search advertising, is unveiling a venture today that aims to make money by allowing people using Twitter to bid on key words to give their posts top ranking.

Called TweetUp, the service will also organize the posts according to their popularity as measured by how often readers repost them and click on links they contain.

Gross said he had signed deals with other outside Twitter services like Seesmic, TwitterFeed and Twidroid to display TweetUp’s rankings. A TweetUp search bar will appear on Web sites like Answers.com and BusinessInsider.com. TweetUp will split revenue evenly with each partner, he said.

A goal and a gamble The goal is to cut through the clutter of thousands of irrelevant posts on topics of interest and keep the useful ones from disappearing into a torrent of messages.

The gamble is whether Twitter users who have turned the microblogging service into a global communications phenomenon will be willing to pay to get their 140-character messages noticed — and whether other Twitter users will view such paid placement as legitimate.

“We feel Twitter is unbelievably powerful, but finding the thoughtful Tweets amid all the noise is unbelievably hard,” said Gross, founder of Idealab, a technology company incubator based in Pasadena, Calif.

“What we’re bringing is a new sort-order to Tweets.”

TweetUp has raised $3.5 mil-

lion from a group of investors that includes Index Ventures and Revolution, the investment firm of Steve Case, the former chairman of AOL Time Warner.

Case said he was persuaded to invest in TweetUp by Gross’ role in developing paid search at GoTo.com, an Idealab spinoff, in the late 1990s. Advertisers bid to have their listings placed at the top of search results, a controversial practice at the time. Yahoo acquired GoTo.com, which had been renamed Overture, for $1.6 billion in 2003.

“TweetUp is to Twitter what Google is to the Web,” Case said.

How it works Here is how the service will work, according to Gross: People can bid on key words or phrases, like “iPad” or “solar energy,” to push their Twitter profile or posts to the top of TweetUp’s rankings. Bids begin at 1 cent, and people will pay each time their profile or a post shows up in a search.

Gross stressed that bids were not required to appear in search results. The service will also calculate rankings based on an algorithm that uses data from a company called Klout that measures a Twitter user’s influence. Bit.ly, a service that shortens Web addresses for display on Twitter, will provide data on how often people click on a link in a post.

So who does Gross expect to pay to put something as ephemeral as a Twitter post on top of the charts? “I think everyone who is looking to build a following will pay,” he said. That means companies that want to build their brands as well as individuals who hope to drive readers to their Web sites.

Euro zone countries move closer to first bailout of a member

By Stephen Castle and Jack Ewing New York Times News Service

BRUSSELS — European leaders provided a long-awaited financial rescue line to Greece on Sunday, offering the country up to $40 billion in aid to meet its giant debt obligations.

Under the plan, Greece would receive loans at about 5 percent interest, significantly lower than the rate of 7.5 percent that the markets were demanding last week, though not as low as Greece had wanted.

Concerns about a potential Greek default had caused anxiety among markets worldwide and raised fears that the euro would be severely undermined if other struggling countries like Spain, Portugal and Italy followed Greece to the financial precipice.

By providing details of the loan package, Europe sought to end the uncertainty it had created through a series a vague reassurances over the last several months.

European leaders had engaged in weeks of debate on whether to help Greece and how to do it, and the absence of resolve had prompted investors to demand high rates on loans to the Greek government.

The move Sunday puts the 16 countries that use the euro — known as the euro zone — closer to what would be the first bailout of a member in its history.

At the same time, the size of the financial commitment, which was above market expectations, could at least postpone the need for aid by reassuring investors and helping Greece refinance debt that comes due by the end of May. Beyond its huge debt, Greece has a large deficit and is struggling with high unemployment and significant public unrest over austerity measures it has been forced to impose.

In addition to the $40 billion in European Union aid, the government in Athens can expect the International Monetary Fund to offer up to $20 billion in additional funds, probably at an even lower interest rate.

The European plan makes the funds available to Athens if it asks for them. Greece has not yet made a formal request. If it does, the heads of government from the euro zone would have to sign off on the package.

A finance ministry spokesman in Germany emphasized that the terms announced Sunday were still part of a contingency plan.

As Europe’s biggest economy, it would have to make the biggest contribution to any financial package.

Amid uncertainty, Poland shows electoral resilience Officials assure public in wake of devastating crash

Pablo Martinez Monsivais The Associated Press

By Nicholas Kulish New York Times News Service

WARSAW — In the dark aftermath of the plane crash that claimed the lives of Poland’s president and dozens of top politicians and policy makers, Poles found solace and even hope in the performance of their young democracy.

As the body of President Lech Kaczynski was returned to this traumatized capital on Sunday, the country was in mourning but there was already a sense that the state was facing up to a major test, with a smooth transition and surprising unity in a long-fractured political environment.

The Associated Press

BANGKOK — Anti-government protesters paraded coffins through the Thai capital today following a weekend of savage street fighting that left 21 killed and fears of further violence unless the activists and government reach a political compromise.

At least 874 others were injured when security forces tried to crack down Saturday on demonstrators who have been staging a month of disruptive protests in the Thai capital, seeking to have Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva dissolve Parliament and call new elections. It was the country’s

issued a statement saying it was “functioning without disruption and performing all of the statutory tasks of the central bank.”

Despite the devastation, said Roman Kuzniar, a professor at Warsaw University’s Institute of International Relations, politicians were handling a terrible situation effectively and with unexpected composure.

The presidential plane went down about a half-mile from the runway in the Russian city of Smolensk. It was carrying a delegation to a ceremony to commemorate the Soviet massacre of more than 20,000 members of Poland’s elite officer corps 70 years ago.

Crash inquiry focuses on decision to land jet

By Clifford J. Levy New York Times News Service

MOSCOW — Investigators examining the crash of the Polish president’s plane appeared Sunday to be focusing on why the pilot did not heed instructions from air traffic controllers to give up trying to land in bad weather in western Russia.

Their inquiry may lead to an even more delicate question: whether the pilot felt under pressure to land to make sure that the Polish delegation would not be late for a ceremony on Saturday it the Katyn forest, where more than 20,000 Polish officers and others were massacred by the Soviets during World War II. Officials recovered the flight voice recorder, but on Sunday they did not release transcripts of conversations in the cockpit

The electoral mechanisms to replace the officials among the 96 people killed on the plane were functioning according to plan, and senior Polish officials reassured the public that the government would continue to operate normally.

Military leaders were immediately succeeded on an interim basis by their subordinates.

Members of Parliament will be replaced automatically by the next-highest vote winner from the same party in the electoral region.

worst political violence in nearly two decades.

Unconfirmed reports in local newspapers said political parties in the coalition government were pressuring Abhisit to compromise with the “Red Shirt” protesters by dissolving Parliament in the next six months instead of by year’s end, as he had earlier promised.

But on Sunday, protest leaders said they would not negotiate with “murderers” and instead mourned their dead from the pitched battles Saturday when army troops tried unsuccessfully to clear thousands of demonstrators from their encampment in the historic heart of Bangkok.

or the control tower. Still, attention has been drawn to the pilot’s state of mind because of a previous incident involving the Polish president, Lech Kaczynski, who died along with numerous other senior Polish government and military officials in the crash.

In August 2008, during Russia’s brief war with Georgia, Kaczynski got into a dispute with the pilot flying his plane to the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, according to reports at the time.

Kaczynski demanded that the pilot land despite dangerous conditions, but the pilot disagreed and diverted to neighboring Azerbaijan.

Kaczynski threatened that there would be consequences for the pilot, the Polish newspaper Dziennik reported. “If someone decides to become a pilot,

he cannot be fearful,” Kaczynski said. “After returning to the country, we shall deal with this matter.”

The pilot was not disciplined and received a medal for his service. But the defense minister later said that the pilot had suffered depression in the wake of the incident.

Officials from both Russia and Poland were taking part in the inquiry into the crash, which killed 96 people, and they said preliminary evidence seemed to indicate that there were no technical malfunctions on the plane, though it was a 20-year-old, Soviet-designed Tupolev.

Prosecutors, forensic pathologists and crash investigators were working in Moscow and at the crash site in the city of Smolensk.

On eve of nuclear summit, America crafts a common position for world powers

By Paul Richter Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — As they prepared for a summit on nuclear security starting today in Washington, Obama administration officials were quietly crafting a common position for world powers that remain sharply divided on the best way to safeguard bombmaking materials.

The two-day summit is being billed by the White House as the biggest conference of its type in the U.S. since the 1945 conference to create the United Nations. The arrival of leaders of more than 40 countries, including President Hu Jintao of China and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India, is expected to snarl traffic and attract demonstrations.

The meeting is a matter of personal prestige for President Barack Obama, who campaigned on a promise to secure “loose nukes” within four years. He pledged last week that this meeting will yield a concrete plan and not just “some vague, gauzy statement.”

Obama conferred with several arriving leaders on Sunday, adamantly underscoring the stakes he saw. Going into a meeting with South African President Jacob Zuma, Obama said militant groups such as al-Qaida could one day obtain unsecured nuclear material.

“If there was ever a detonation in New York City, or London, or Johannesburg, the ramifications economically, politically, and from a security perspective would be devastating,” Obama said.

“And we know that organizations like al-Qaida are in the process of trying to secure a nuclear weapon — a weapon of mass destruction that they have no compunction at using.”

Yet foreign diplomats involved in the discussions said U.S. officials have focused on areas of common ground and airbrushed differences while they wrote a joint communique that was mostly completed days before the summit even began. The statement was to be released Tuesday afternoon.

The meeting “is going to give a new visibility to an issue that hasn’t gotten enough attention. It will push people to do more,” said one diplomat close to the talks.

But in an attempt to persuade countries to take new steps, such as developing common standards for physical security, he said, the administration has sidestepped many touchy issues.

Many countries are highly sensitive to foreign powers’ intrusions in their nuclear programs, and they would resist international efforts to force them to give up closely held information or allow inspectors to monitor their facilities. India, China and Russia, for example, have been wary of international efforts to learn about their nuclear programs.

There is even disagreement about the extent of the threat.

Some countries, such as the United States and Russia, believe the threat of militant groups acquiring nuclear weapons should be the priority. But some European leaders are more concerned about so-called dirty-bomb radiological materials, which would be much more easily acquired.

Water Continued from A1 “Everything that uses water, you start to look at,” Vidas said.

Project planners have estimated that roofs on the house could collect between 30,000 and 40,0000 gallons of rainwater a year, said Chris Hart-Henderson, owner of Heart Springs Landscape Design, based on the surface area of the roofs and rainfall in Bend.

They’ve also calculated that an average household of four will need about 73,000 gallons a year — so efficiencies will be key.

But, she added, “It’s so early in the process, we still don’t have a solid direction yet. Everything’s on the table for discussion.”

Also on the table — what to do with the graywater once it is rinsed down a sink or shower.

The current idea, Vidas said, is to filter it, treat it and reuse it to flush toilets.

Elliott, Scott and their team are looking at different graywater treatment options, including installing a constructed wetland where microbes and plants take up the nutrients, break down organic material and clean up the graywater.

“We want to go with a constructed wetland if we can get the city to approve it,” Elliott said. “It’s just a natural system, it’s how all water essentially on the Earth is treated.”

Getting OKs While Oregon has approved rainwater harvest and graywater use for toilet flushing in recent years, the processes are new within the city of Bend, Vidas said.

“We’re going to need to demonstrate how it works, and that it’s safe,” she said.

Tom Hickmann, Bend’s city engineer, said the city is fine with Elliott’s and Scott’s plan to minimize the amount of water they will pull from the city.

But that doesn’t mean that they can completely cut themselves off, he said — the city still needs to provide water for fire protection. And if too many people stop using city water, it could cause financial problems.

“If people don’t pay into the system, all of a sudden the costs of the system get spread out over fewer and fewer people, and nobody can afford it,” he said.

And if the couple wants to reuse graywater to flush toilets, they’ll have to follow the plumbing codes for doing that and ensure that none of it contaminates

Hallucinogen Continued from A1 He ranks it among the most meaningful events of his life, which makes him a fairly typical member of a growing club of experimental subjects.

Researchers from around the world are gathering this week in San Jose, Calif., for the largest conference on psychedelic science held in the United States in four decades. They plan to discuss studies of psilocybin and other psychedelics for treating depression in cancer patients, obsessivecompulsive disorder, end-of-life anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction to drugs or alcohol.

The results so far are encouraging but also preliminary, and researchers caution against reading too much into these small-scale studies.

Because reactions to hallucino-

“They want to proceed to get the house built, and we can see that the rainwater harvest and the graywater and the on-site waste treatment, all of those may take a lot longer because of having to explain as we go along.”

— M.L. Vidas, owner of Sustainable Design Services, about water-use challenges in the Elliott-Scott homebuilding project the city’s potable water supply, he said.

Not yet approved But beyond collecting rainwater and using graywater to flush toilets, many of the things Elliott and Scott would like to do are not yet approved.

“The code and a desire to be off-grid don’t always meet eye to eye,” Hart-Henderson said.

For example, the couple would like to use graywater for irrigating plants and trees in their yard.

The Legislature approved using graywater for irrigation in June 2009, but the regulations on it are not yet in place, and won’t be until late 2011, said Ron Doughten, biosolids and water reuse program coordinator with the Department of Environmental Quality.

For now, if a household wants to use graywater for irrigation, it would have to go through the expensive permitting process used to approve wastewater treatment facilities.

“It’s not practical on the scale of a single-family residence,” Doughten said.

And if they could, the Bend couple would like to treat the blackwater from toilets on-site as well.

One idea could be to build in a septic tank, where the solids settle out and liquids are pumped through a 600-square-foot wetland. After treatment, the water could be used for irrigation.

“Unfortunately, right now, that water has to go in the sewer,” Elliott said.

State law requires residences within 300 feet of a sewer system to connect to it, and Hickmann said the city would not allow a septic system on the property.

gens can vary so much depending on the setting, experimenters and review boards have developed guidelines to set up a comfortable environment with expert monitors in the room to deal with adverse reactions. They also have established standard protocols so that the drugs’ effects can be gauged more accurately.

Scientists are especially intrigued by the similarities between hallucinogenic experiences and the life-changing revelations reported throughout history by religious mystics and those who meditate. These similarities have been identified in neural imaging studies conducted by Swiss researchers and in experiments led by Roland Griffiths, a professor of behavioral biology at Johns Hopkins.

In one of Griffiths’ first studies, involving 36 people with no serious physical or emotional problems, he and colleagues found that psilocybin could induce what the

C OV ER S T OR I ES The groundwater in the area flows in such a way that any contamination from a septic system on the site could potentially contaminate the city’s drinking water wells, he said.

“We certainly don’t want that situation,” Hickmann said.

So, with the start date for construction approaching, Elliott and Scott are considering building several layers of plumbing systems into their home.

“They want to proceed to get the house built, and we can see that the rainwater harvest and the graywater and the on-site waste treatment, all of those may take a lot longer because of having to explain as we go along,” Vidas said. “So we’ve separated it.”

The first step, Vidas said, is simply to design and build the house with water and sewer hookups.

But the designs will include plumbing systems so that if Elliott and Scott get the OK from the city for specific rainwater collection systems or graywater systems to flush toilets, they can turn a valve and start up those systems.

And they’ll build the house so that as more options are available — like irrigating with the graywater — they can take advantage of them.

“Our intention is to build the system we want to have, but instead of irrigating with the water, we’ll send it down the sewer until more rational policies” are in place, Elliott said.

The Living Building Challenge also encourages homeowners to advocate for changes in regulations — something that Elliott and Scott can do if they can’t meet some of the requirements.

“It’s kind of spurring that conversation between regulatory officials and different municipalities,” said Brukman of the International Living Building Institute, “to start thinking differently about our rules and regulations and water use.”

For now, those involved with the project will continue to design the home with water collection, conservation and reuse elements, keeping the regulations in mind and advocating for change, Vidas said.

“The project should be able to meet the needs of Tom and Barbara, and meet the needs of Living Building Challenge, and comply with our codes,” Vidas said. “It should work. But I don’t know how we’ll get there.”

experimental subjects described as a profound spiritual experience with lasting positive effects for most of them.

In a survey conducted two months later, the people who received psilocybin reported significantly more improvements in their general feelings and behavior than did the members of the control group.

“There’s this coming together of science and spirituality,” said Rick Doblin, the executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies.

“We’re hoping that the mainstream and the psychedelic community can meet in the middle and avoid another culture war.

Thanks to changes over the last 40 years in the social acceptance of the hospice movement and yoga and meditation, our culture is much more receptive now, and we’re showing that these drugs can provide benefits that current treatments can’t.”

Patients Continued from A1 This was done not thoughtlessly, but in desperation, and with a heavy heart. There is slang in the hospital world for what the family had done: dumping.

It happens in many hospitals. One patient, for instance, just left after spending 10 years in a New Jersey hospital.

Mrs. Kim is 4-foot-8, speaks no English and has been in America, illegally, for a decade. She has arthritic knees and can no longer stand. She needs a nursing home. But none will take her.

Because of her illegal status, she is ineligible for Medicaid, which pays the bill for two out of every three nursing-home residents. Without Medicaid, and with no means of her own, she became Abington’s problem.

Covering illegal immigrants was a red-hot issue during the health care debate. When President Barack Obama vowed to Congress that “the reforms I’m proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally,” Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina yelled, “You lie.”

The final bill provides no remedy for Mrs. Kim. On March 12, after 80 days, the charges — the sticker price that few pay — were $444,208.63. The true cost of her care, said Louis Incognito, Abington’s reimbursement director, was $1,200 a day — $96,000, and rising.

Mrs. Kim’s story Mrs. Kim was living in South Korea in 1990 when her daughter, Mi Cha, married an American soldier stationed there, Terry Mason of Media, Pa. Terry and Mi Cha Mason had a child, Krystal, an American citizen at birth. The marriage dissolved.

Mi Cha Mason decided to raise her daughter in America.

Of mixed race and with a single parent, Krystal would have a better life and receive a better education in the United States, her mother and father felt.

All three generations of women arrived on the same flight in December 1999. Krystal had an American passport.

Her mother, as the wife of an American soldier, had a green card, granting her legal residency. And her grandmother, Mrs. Kim, came as a visitor, with a visa.

They received help finding an apartment from Terry Mason’s brother, Fred, a local police officer. Terry Mason remained in South Korea and has not responded to e-mails.

Krystal said she had little to no contact with her father.

Mrs. Kim never returned to South Korea. She cared for Krystal while Mi Cha worked at Best Produce, a Korean-owned market in Media, to support the three of them.

“I was like a wife to my daughter,” Mrs. Kim said.

That arrangement worked fine until last fall, when Mrs. Kim became the one who needed care day and night.

On Oct. 2, Krystal, a senior at Penncrest High School, drove her grandmother to Riddle Memorial Hospital, four miles from home.

Mrs. Kim spent a week there, came home for three days, and went back for 52 more days, until Dec. 2, when she was discharged with a promise of help at home.

Two days later, the family took Mrs. Kim to Riddle a third time, but the hospital did not admit her. She was treated as an outpatient and sent home. (Riddle’s total charges for Mrs. Kim were $387,063.30.)

Overwhelmed Mi Cha was overwhelmed.

A week before Christmas, Krystal came home from her after-school job at Body Central at the Granite Run Mall and found her own mother extremely sick.

“I saw her lying on the couch,” Krystal recalled, “and she couldn’t breathe, and she was coughing. I said, ‘You’ve got to go to the hospital.’ She didn’t want to go because my grandmother was so sick and she was taking care of her. I said, ‘I can take care of Grandma.

You’ve got to go to the hospital.’

We thought that night she’d come back home, but she never did.”

Mi Cha spent three weeks in Riddle.

Krystal realized she couldn’t care for her grandmother, not with high school and her job.

Members of the Korean American Association, a volunteer group at the heart of the region’s Korean community, suggested that Krystal take her grandmother to Abington Memorial, 31 miles away.

They told Krystal that Abington would take good care of her grandmother. Thousands of Korean Americans live in that area of Montgomery County. An association member even came to their apartment, helped Krystal carry Mrs. Kim in her wheelchair down the six steps to exit the building, and drove them to the emergency room.

Of course, nobody at Abington knew any of this.

The hospital has 120,000 patients coming through the ER every year, and 40,000 patients admitted, and 500 hospital beds full every day.

“She came in with what looked like acute pain and an inability to ambulate and no one to safely care for her,” said Maryteresa Mintz, the head of case management at Abington.

Because it was so late and nobody at home could care for her, “we couldn’t send her out in that condition,” said Mintz.

It would be 86 days before Mrs. Kim was finally discharged and sent home again, and then only after intervention by leaders of the Korean association.

What will become of Mi Cha and Mrs. Kim is unknown. At least Krystal has a plan. She has been accepted at nearby Cabrini College and plans to attend in the fall.

She wants to be a nurse, and an interpreter for patients like her grandmother.

Republicans Continued from A1 Their main differences fall in style and message. Dudley, 45, is positioning himself as the outsider candidate — and not very subtly notes that he, unlike his opponent, has never worked for a Democrat.

“We need someone from outside Salem, frankly,” he said, adding of Alley that “obviously, he’s been in Salem: he worked for (Gov. Ted) Kulongoski and whatnot and was part of Kulongoski’s programs, and I wasn’t; so I guess that’s a difference there.”

Alley, 55, says his experience in state government — he spent 14 months as Kulongoski’s deputy chief of staff — as well as in the business world will give him the edge on improving Oregon’s business climate. “If you haven’t run businesses, if you haven’t started businesses, if you haven’t competed in the global economy I don’t now how on earth you can do the kind of things I’m talking about,” he said.

Dudley, standing 6’ 11”, dominates the stage at candidates’ forums. But at one of the most influential forums for the purposes of the GOP primary, held at the Republican’s Dorchester Conference in Seaside, it was Alley who topped the opposition. A straw poll held at the conference following the debate awarded Alley 225 votes versus 165 for Dudley.

Alley supporters Dennis Tooley, a Republican activist from Redmond, said the Dorchester debate played a major role in his endorsement of Alley, because Dudley didn’t seem to have the same grasp of the issues.

“I was supporting (Alley) when I went to Dorchester,” Tooley said. “I was heavily supporting him after Dorchester.”

Of Dudley, he added, “I talked to him and like the guy, he’s very cordial and friendly. But it doesn’t seem like he’s got the knowledge yet to be governor of the state.”

Another Alley supporter, Bend Mayor Kathie Eckman, said her decision is more based on knowing Alley better because of his previous run for state Treasurer against late Treasurer Ben Westlund. Alley lost that race by only 5 percent in a year when voter sentiment was clearly swaying Democratic.

“I am very impressed with his credentials and his background,” Eckman said. “I think he’s a very intelligent person, and he’s got the leadership skills that that (position) needs.”

Dudley’s fans But Dudley supporters say it’s their candidate who has the best

Code Continued from A1 Commissioner Tammy Baney said she couldn’t comment on the Eitel situation because it’s an ongoing code enforcement case.

But, she said, officials will discuss whether someone who builds a structure without obtaining county building permits and inspections should face harsher consequences than what the county has pursued in the past.

“We can’t do the appropriate inspections because it’s already standing,” Baney said of unpermitted structures. “There are so many things that are unknown because it hasn’t been inspected ...

I think we’re starting to see some things that make voluntary compliance too soft of an approach.”

Matthew and Cara Eitel could not be reached for comment Friday.

But Deschutes County Community Development Department Director Tom Anderson said the Eitels have now obtained land use approvals for their garage structure and have applied for building and other permits. The county charged them double the normal building permit fees, as allowed under state law.

The county building official can, and does, issue stop-work orders for unpermitted buildings, and he did so on the Eitel structure, Anderson said. But the Eitels said they needed to cover the top of the building to protect the interior from the elements, so the county allowed them to finish the roof.

History of voluntary compliance policy Since the mid-1990s, it has been the county’s policy to give people who violate county code a chance to comply voluntarily with little or no penalty. Approximately 75

shot at beating their Democratic opponent in November, expected to be either former Gov. John Kitzhaber or former Secretary of State Bill Bradbury.

Tim Knopp, a former Bend lawmaker who serves as executive vice president of the Central Oregon Builders Association, said he personally, as well as the COBA board, is lining up behind Dudley because of “winnability” — namely, they think Dudley, an outsider who also started a basketball camp for diabetic kids, can appeal to independent voters while also having the fundraising ability to win.

“You’re on a mission that you’re not going to win if your candidate is not able to bring the race that we believe needs to be run,” Knopp said.

Similarly, Barry Bushue, a Clackamas County farmer who is president of the Oregon Farm Bureau, said his organization is backing Dudley because of his outsider status.

‘We like his fresh approach’ “We like his fresh approach,” Bushue said. “We are very impressed with his leadership skills, and the fact that he will have a new look rather than a political look at the state of Oregon ... is very refreshing; we think it is long overdue.”

The fundraising gap between the candidates is large and growing.

Since last year, Dudley has raised $1.146 million. Allen has raised $464,253 in that span.

Since Jan. 1, Dudley has raised $722,000 to Alley’s $192,000.

However, political observers note that Alley has a large personal fortune based on his time as founder and CEO of Pixelworks, one that he could tap as the primary grows near.

Seven other candidates have filed There are seven other candidates who have filed for the Republican primary, including Bend resident Clark Colvin, William Ames Curtright, Bob Forthan, Darren Karr and Rex Watkins.

However, only two candidates besides Alley and Dudley have set up political action committees to raise money to campaign.

John Lim, 74, a former state senator from Gresham, has raised $91,698 since last year.

Bill Sizemore, 58, well-known ballot measure management entrepreneur who has pushed measures attacking public employees’ unions and government spending, has not raised money yet, having been banned from political fundraising based on a successful civil racketeering lawsuit filed by teachers unions that focused on accusations of

percent of cases are resolved voluntarily, Anderson said.

Still, the policy enacted in the 1990s was supposed to be tougher than the previous policy, according to a county manual. A task force assembled to recommend improvements for county code enforcement suggested a more “proactive,” county-initiated approach to code enforcement.

At the time, residents testified both in favor and against stronger code enforcement.

The previous complaint-driven system “has not been effective by itself in stemming the tide of code violations,” according to the 1996 manual.

Anderson said the county does have a proactive code enforcement program where it checks whether certain structures and permits are being used appropriately. But the county’s capacity to do this has been reduced since it cut staffing from two full-time code enforcement employees to one full-time and one part-time as part of budget cutbacks.

The reductions have also made it difficult for code enforcement to keep up with complaints from the public. Summer is the busiest season for code enforcement, “so it’s very possible at 1.5 full-time employees, we will not be able to adequately keep up with the cases coming in, depending on the number, once we get into our busier season,” Anderson said.

Commissioners ready to consider changes Commissioner Alan Unger said the county’s current code enforcement policy has worked in the Eitel case, because they are voluntarily complying with county regulations.

However, Unger said he might be in favor of harsher consequences for people who knowingly violate the county’s building-permit requirements. This could mean

political money laundering and other illegal activities.

He since has been indicted for tax evasion, a charge he is battling in Marion County Circuit Court.

In a separate case, on Friday a judge said that fundraising ban only applied to ballot measures, not Sizemore’s gubernatorial run, and Sizemore said afterward that he plans to take advantage of it.

“I think I have a good shot at the nomination,” he said.

“You know, nobody can predict what’s going to happen, but my name familiarity is obviously higher than everybody else’s in the race.”

LONDON — Four opinion polls published in Britain Sunday suggested there will be a hung Parliament after the May 6 election.

One survey put support for the opposition Conservatives at 39 percent, two put the party at 38 percent and another at 37 percent, The same polls put support for Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s Labour Party at between 30 and 32 percent. That lead is insufficient to give the Conservatives an overall majority in the House of Commons.

“The Conservative lead of something around the 8 points that these polls imply would not be enough for an overall majority in itself,” YouGov pollster Anthony Wells wrote on his Web site.

“The Conservatives would have to rely upon outperforming the national swing in the marginal seats that actually decide the election.”

The two main parties are targeting about 150 districts — 23 percent of a total of 650 — that they’ve identified as swing seats. A survey of the marginals for the News of the World newspaper put the Conservatives on course for a six-percentage point swing in their favor from Labour, again not enough to propel their leader, David Cameron, to power. ICM telephoned 1,001 voters on April 7-8 for the survey.

more fines, Unger said.

Commissioner Dennis Luke said voluntary compliance works most of the time, and the county should not change its policy because of one or two incidents.

Luke said he is willing to review the county’s policy, though, to see if there are areas that could be improved, and be tougher when voluntary compliance does not work.

Baney said voluntary compliance is appropriate in most cases, but the county might need to develop harsher consequences for people who show “a total disregard for the law.”

“I am in favor of assisting someone who’s made an honest mistake,” Baney said. “I’m not in favor of turning a blind eye for someone who blatantly disregards the law.”

To Fraser, it seems that might be what the county did in the Eitel case.

“I think the right thing to do is, the county should have in the first place stopped it,” Fraser said of the building. “That’s what they’re there for, is to enforce the code.”

Park offers taste of freedom to women in Afghan capital It’s a place for learning as well as play, with on-site classrooms teaching sewing and farming

For Fardia Azizmay, 19, center, and other Afghan women, this Kabul park — run by the India-based Self-Employed Women’s Association — is a favorite destination.

Only women are allowed in.

By Emily Wax The Washington Post

KABUL — On a recent day when the sun was finally strong enough to dry the Afghan capital’s muddy streets, Habiba Sarwe sought her husband’s permission to visit a spot that her daughter and all the neighborhood wives were talking about: a park, with swings, benches, flowers and a gazebo. A park for women only.

“Please, let me go,” begged Sarwe, who is 44 but whose tired eyes make her look far older.

“It’s a good place.”

Her husband decided it would be OK. So that afternoon, Sarwe put on her favorite fitted gray wool suit under her shapeless, head-to-toe burqa and set out with three of her children for the dusty park on the edge of Kabul.

Once inside the two metal gates, she pushed up the visor of her burqa and stood still, the sunshine warm on her face, while her two daughters and youngest son raced to the swings. She smiled as they soared higher and higher.

A place of their own “This is the one place that’s ours,” said an out-of-breath Fardia Azizmay, 19, Sarwe’s older daughter, as she jumped off a swing and looked over a pile of a dozen blue burqas, tossed off by women as they entered. “For us, home is so boring. Our streets and shops are not for women.

But this place is our own.”

The small park, protected by a half-dozen gun-toting guards, has become a favorite destination for Kabul women wanting a safe, quiet place to meet with friends, complain about their husbands, discuss their kids, line one another’s eyes with black kohl or just shed their burqas and play, female activists here say.

But play is not the only draw.

The park, paid for by the country of India, also feels like a miniature college campus. India’s SelfEmployed Women’s Association, which runs it, has set up a training center on the grounds for mothers and daughters who may never have been to school.

In classrooms overlooking the park, women learn embroidery and organic farming. They pickle tomatoes, bottle jam and sew at a row of new machines under a poster proclaiming, “Need Is Ability.” It is all part of a $1.3

U.S. seeks to ease relations with Afghanistan Senior American officials on Sunday sought to smooth over a quarrelsome interlude in U.S.-Afghan relations, with the special U.S. envoy to the region describing President Hamid Karzai’s administration as “a government we can work with.” Speaking to reporters in Kabul, Richard Holbrooke pointed to Karzai’s participation in a major planning conference with Afghan, American and coalition officials. “We have a good relationship with this government,” he said. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates delivered the same message in talk-show interviews Sunday.

Karzai has publicly criticized the West for what he characterized as meddling in Afghanistan’s internal affairs. The White House, in turn, has called Karzai’s comments disturbing, which seemed to further inflame the dispute. In recent days, though, U.S. officials have gone out of their way to alleviate ill feeling, describing Karzai as an important partner.

‘No women feel safe’ Although women make up more than half of Afghanistan’s population, fear of fundamentalist militant groups has caused them to nearly disappear from public life, especially in the rural south, where U.S.-led forces are trying to root out Taliban fighters. Some of those insurgents still pressure women to cover up, and to avoid schools and workplaces, defying the Afghan constitution’s guarantee of equal rights for both sexes.

“I get threatening calls almost every day asking why I think I am important enough to work in an office,” said Fouzia Ahmed, 25, a government secretary in Kabul. “The truth is, no women feel safe here. We are always threatened. That’s why we need the eyes of the world.”

Several foreign governments seeking to exert influence here are focusing on Afghan women in the face of what some activists say is the neglect of their needs

by President Hamid Karzai’s administration.

This month, 40 female Marines will deploy to Afghanistan as the first full-time “female engagement teams” — four- and fivemember units that will visit rural women in their homes. Typically, Afghan women are not allowed to speak to men other than their husbands or relatives.

Germany and Italy also have helped fund computer schools for girls and family health programs.

India steps in But it is India, with its longstanding cultural ties to Afghanistan, that has done the most.

“Our classes and our park are so busy — but only because India went to the Kabul slum areas and talked to the women about coming,” said Tamana Ghaznewil, 19, an Afghan who works at the park. “For many women, having someone come from another country and offer this little garden was really new.

Some asked me, ‘Why would they see me, an Afghan woman, as important?’”

In Mexico, all eyes will be on Michelle Obama First lady prepares for her first official solo trip abroad

By Katherine Skiba Chicago Tribune

WASHINGTON — Almost 50 years ago, a first lady seized Mexico City’s heart: the beautiful, chic, multilingual Jackie Kennedy, to whom Michelle Obama draws comparisons.

Reporters judged her 1962 trip with President John F. Kennedy “a triumph.”

It saw an estimated 1 million people line the route of their motorcade. It saw people leap to their feet — applauding — after the first lady delivered a short speech in Spanish. It saw thousands bid the couple farewell, shouting “Adios!” and “Jackie, si!”

That’s just the kind of excitement Mexico’s ambassador to the United States, Arturo Sarukhan, expects Michelle Obama’s visit to generate.

She departs Tuesday for a three-day trip to the Mexican capital, her first official solo trip abroad. She will meet children,

First lady Michelle Obama will leave Tuesday for Mexico on a trip that is already drawing comparisons to Jackie Kennedy’s visit in 1962. tour an anthropology museum and dine at Los Pinos, the president’s residence.

“I think she will ‘wow’ Mexico and Mexicans,” Sarukhan said in an interview. “I think people will be bowled over. ... She is a very powerful example of the empowerment of African-Americans in this country, and a very powerful symbol to Latinos in this country and Mexicans in Mexico of what you can achieve in a country that is built on immigrants and is

built on diversity and is built on the ability to advance because of hard work and merit.”

Sarukhan will accompany Obama as she travels with Mexican first lady Margarita Zavala.

He is a former foreign policy adviser to Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

Obama is 46 — so is Sarukhan — so neither was born when the Kennedys made their celebrated trip in 1962. Yet he said it lives on in the minds of Mexicans, and is one reason that cities and towns across his country carry Kennedy’s name.

Kennedy’s chief of staff, Letitia Baldrige, remembers details down to the pink sleeveless dress and big matching hat worn by the first lady at the luncheon. “That’s what everybody oohed and aahed about — how she looked,” said Baldrige.

She said visits by first ladies are highly choreographed diplomatic dances, with careful plans governing arrival and departure ceremonies, gift exchanges, meals, the issues they’ll highlight and their sightseeing excursions.

The aim for the hosts? “A lyrical, beautiful description of how they entertained the foreign guest,” Baldrige said.

Sarwe’s husband lost a leg in a suicide bombing several years ago and is unemployed and depressed, she said. During the factional fighting of the 1990s, the family fled to the refugee camps in Pakistan, where Azizmay learned English and graduated from high school. The family returned to Kabul because they missed home.

Today, Sarwe stays home to care for her husband. The family urgently needs money to send Azizmay to college, so her mother wonders whether she should take an embroidery class to earn a little extra.

“This park has been a few minutes of freedom for my mother,” Azizmay said, coaxing Sarwe onto a swing and pushing her into the air. “That freedom can be addictive.”

W B Long-awaited voting begins in Sudan KHARTOUM, Sudan — This country’s first multi-party elections in more than 20 years finally began Sunday, hampered by accusations of fraud, a boycott by some opposition parties and 108-degree heat. Still, some polling stations in the capital were packed with supporters of the incumbent president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir.

Al-Bashir has been vilified in the West and blamed over the years for cozying up to Osama bin Laden, abusing human rights and unleashing death squads in Darfur.

Last year, he was charged by the International Criminal Court with crimes against humanity.

The voting will continue for two more days, to allow Sudanese in far-flung areas time to get to the polls. The vote is supposed to bring a democratically elected government, prepare the ground for a vital referendum on South Sudan independence and begin healing the wounds of the Darfur conflict. But major opposition parties have boycotted it, claiming it is unfair.

Kyrgyzstan’s ousted leader seeks U.N. aid TEYIT, Kyrgyzstan — Kyrgyzstan’s deposed president on Sunday defended the legitimacy of his rule and urged the United Nations to send peacekeepers to help stabilize the strategically vital Central Asian nation.

Bakiyev denounced the protest as a “coup” and angrily rejected the self-proclaimed interim government’s demand to step down. “I’m the head of state,” he said.

Cuban police break up women’s march HAVANA — Police broke up a weekly march by wives and mothers of imprisoned Cuban opposition leaders Sunday, forcing them onto a bus and driving them home as a pro-government crowd screamed insults.

Uniformed police and plainclothes security agents blocked a sidewalk along Havana’s Fifth Avenue, stopping five members of the “Damas de Blanco,” or “Ladies in White,” from following their traditional march route, said Bertha Soler, one of the group’s leaders.

“There was a mob of government people shouting things,” Soler said when reached by phone later at the home of Laura Pollan, who co-founded the group. Soler’s husband, Angel Moya, is in jail for dissident activities.

The women have marched every Sunday for years and are usually allowed to do so without incident. Pollan said a state security official visited her home Sunday morning to warn the group not to demonstrate, saying they did not have government permission.

Walk MS participants ‘put a face’ on disease

By Diane S.W. Lee The Bulletin

Sometimes the numbness is so overwhelming that Anna Martin isn’t able to move the left side of her body.

“It feels like there is a band that is permanently tightened around my leg,” she said. “Like the last three fingers in my left hand, every episode has been harder to recover, and the symptoms have kind of hung on.”

The Bend resident, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of 23, plans to

walk 3.1 miles Saturday at Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend to raise awareness about the disease. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society expects to raise $560,000 statewide for Walk MS 2010 to help fund research and services.

Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild or severe — from numbness in the limbs to paralysis and loss of vision, according to the society.

Mail census forms soon 97 upgrade to avoid knock on door on agenda in Redmond

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

Want to avoid having a census worker knock on your door? This week is about your last chance to mail in your 2010 census form and avoid the visit.

If your form isn’t postmarked by Friday, census workers will likely visit your address, according to a news release from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The mail-in forms save the bureau money and provide the bulk of the census data.

Local return rates are important for

several reasons. The data determines the number of representatives each state sends to the U.S. House of Representatives. Also, the more people who are counted, the more money a state, county or city will receive. Census data helps establish, for example, federal funding for road projects, according to Sheldon Traver, a census media specialist.

Each person counted is worth a total of $1,400 in state, county and city funding per year. An entire state can suffer if the census count is low, Traver said.

Raising funds for breast cancer research

Input sought on how to give gateway to city more appeal

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

Redmond leaders hope to turn the congested strip of U.S. Highway 97 into something closer to a picturesque entrance to the city. The city has some ideas, but now it is looking for the public’s input.

Redmond will hold several public meetings to discuss the future of U.S. Highway 97 where it passes through the busy commercial strip of the city’s southern section.

The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. at the Redmond Fire Station.

City and state officials along with business leaders have spent more than a year looking into ways to ease traffic and make the road between Yew Avenue and Veterans Way safer. Possible solutions include medians that restrict turns, frontage roads or aesthetic fixes. The work, though, won’t be launched as a single project. Rather, as development increases in the area, the road’s look will gradually change.

The Oregon Department of Transportation and the city are hoping Redmond residents will attend the meeting to discuss what they want the area to look like.

“There’s no time line or money. Everybody needs to have the opportunity to state the types of issues or solutions they have,” ODOT spokesman Peter Murphy said. “Then we’ll figure out what it costs.”

If you like clouds and rainy days, you should be in luck this week.

This week’s weather is predicted to begin with thunderstorms today, before settling into a quiet pattern of rain and below-average temperatures.

Every day this week — even the ones without rain — is expected to be at least mostly cloudy. In large part because of that cloud cover, Central Oregon will likely fall short of seasonal temperatures most of the week, according to Rachel Trimarco, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pendleton.

The precipitation is being caused by a low-pressure system over California that is pushing rain toward the region, explained Trimarco.

“There will be multiple waves of energy that come through in the next several days, with periods of showers,” she said.

Around this time of year, temperatures typically reach the high 50s or low 60s, added Trimarco.

This week, high temperatures are predicted to top out in the mid-50s.

Today and Tuesday, nighttime lows are expected to fall to the mid-30s. From Wednesday night until Friday night, low temperatures should fall to below freezing.

But the weekend could bring some respite, Trimarco said. Though there is roughly a 20 percent chance of rain for the weekend, temperatures could climb back to what is normal for the season.

“We might even push into the lower 60s by the weekend,” Trimarco said.

Employing veterans in Salem

By Capi Lynn The Statesman Journal

SALEM — John Gimby just might be the new poster boy for veterans’ employment services.

The Salem man was able to launch his own business — Omega Landscape Maintenance & Design — with help from three different organizations.

Gimby took advantage of every second of support from WorkSource Oregon Employment Department, the Hire Oregon Veterans Program and the MicroEnterprise Resources, Initiatives & Training (MERIT) program. And with their collaboration, he turned his dream into a reality.

“I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with how well all of the different organizations worked together, even though they’re independent,” Gimby said. “It was amazing how fluid it all was. I’m thinking in my mind, ‘Oh, this is going to be a wreck. How can all these people work together?’ It was truly a blessing to be working with such a group.”

Even the players involved were a bit amazed.

“There’s always cooperation among various organizations, but this case was special,” said Forrest Peck, director of MERIT, which is part of the Chemeketa Small Business Development Center. “This one is a standout in that it resulted in money, it moved quickly.

“It becomes a benchmark — for me anyway — something that all the programs can work together to strive for.”

‘Gearing up’ With 2,700 soldiers from the Oregon National Guard’s 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team on their way home from Iraq — and more than half of them expected to be unemployed — collaborations like this will be needed.

“Our offices are really gear-

“The last time I received veterans benefits was back when I was in college, the G.I. Bill. Never in a million years did I think 20 years later I would get help at a time when I really needed it.”

— John Gimby, veteran and business owner ing up for their return,” said Andrew Zobrist, who works for the Employment Department as a veteran outreach program specialist.

Zobrist was one of Gimby’s first contacts after he was laid off last winter. When Zobrist learned that Gimby had been an independent landscape contractor in the past, they talked about the possibilities of returning to that career path.

Gimby, 41, left self-employment years ago when he needed medical and dental coverage for his family. He last worked for Davidson’s Landscape Service as an irrigation technician. After being laid off and having no success finding work in his field, conversations with Zobrist convinced him to go the self-employment route again.

Zobrist enrolled Gimby with the Hire Oregon Veterans Program, which is dispensing a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Labor Veterans Workforce Investment Program.

The Oregon program serves six counties, including Marion and Polk. To date the program has helped 191 veterans — nearly one-third from our two local counties — find opportunities in self-employment, retraining and education.

Tuition for training Zobrist has other clients who have used grants to help pay for tuition at Chemeketa Community College, attend the International Institute of Transportation Resource truck driving school in Portland, and complete ODOT flagger training.

In Gimby’s case, to be eligible for a grant he was required to come up with a feasibility study and a business plan. Zobrist referred him to Peck and the MERIT program, where about 20 percent of the people served are veterans.

Peck helped guide Gimby through the process, offering suggestions and resources.

“As we began to talk, then I could see he’s not just a dreamer,” Peck said. “He’s got some reallife experience that he’s bringing to this concept. That’s a great indicator of future success.”

Both Peck and Zobrist complimented Gimby for acting so quickly through the process.

“John was really a star candidate for the whole program, because he was really on top of everything,” Zobrist said. “A lot of times, it takes people a lot of time to get their ducks in a row, especially when they’re dealing with an unemployment situation where life is really putting up one obstacle after another.

“But John didn’t let anything like that stand in his way. He put together a really good business plan, and he put it together in a real hurry.”

Hire Oregon Veterans gave him a grant of more than $2,000 that enabled him to buy start-up equipment and cover some marketing expenses.

He purchased a commercial lawn mower, a pressure washer, a lawn edger, a chain saw and a backpack leaf blower.

Some of the money also was used to buy advertising, including with this newspaper, and business cards.

“The last time I received vet-

erans benefits was back when I was in college, the G.I. Bill,” Gimby said. “Never in a million years did I think 20 years later I would get help at a time when I really needed it.”

Gimby was in the Army in the late 1980s. He served at Fort Clayton in Panama, a U.S. Army base no longer in operation. He was a machine gunner with an infantry unit.

He has lived in Salem for more than 20 years and has two children, a son who is a third-year student at Willamette University and a daughter who is a senior at Sprague High School.

Planning ahead While working hard to establish his business, Gimby said he also is working toward getting a contractor’s license, which he said involves taking seven different tests. He already has taken and passed the irrigation portion.

“That’s pretty danged impressive,” Peck said. “This guy’s hungry. He wants it. It’s exciting when you’re able to partner with someone who’s got that kind of ambition.”

Gimby is focusing right now on offering lawn maintenance services, including mowing, edging, fertilizing, weeding, thatching and aerating. He also will do bark dusting, pruning and pressure washing.

(I promised I’d try and include his phone number, so if you need work done, call (971) 388-3124.)

Gimby is thankful for the support he received from these organizations and encourages other veterans to take advantage of the resources available to them.

As excited as he is about the future of Omega Landscape Maintenance & Design, he knowing the business is somewhat seasonal and will have to plan for the slow times.

“It’s going to be a success,” Gimby said. “I don’t consider failure an option.”

The Herald and News reports that the shortened week is one of many money-saving measures school officials are considering.

District Superintendent Greg Thede says that a $5.8 million cut to his $60 million budget and nearly 20 layoffs last year prompted the district to form a committee to study the option of cutting Fridays from the school week.

He says that school days Monday through Thursday would be longer to meet state hourly requirements.

“I think we’ve seen all over

the state, programs getting cut, class sizes going up, employee groups having to make concessions,” Thede said. “These times we’re going through right now are unprecedented. It’s tough.”

Thede said the district will move forward with a shortened school week if it would save a significant amount of money.

O I B Student’s ‘ghost bike’ is moved to church PORTLAND — A bike memorializing a 19-year-old college student who died in 2007 after being struck by a truck in Portland is being moved from a busy sidewalk to a church.

The Oregonian reports that the so-called “ghost bike” for Tracey Sparling is being moved to the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Parish’s bicycle shrine, giving it a permanent home.

Last year, employees from a restaurant near where the bike is parked clipped the chain and removed it, not knowing that family and friends continued to place flowers at the site remembering Sparling.

Since about 2005, nearly 15 ghost bikes have been installed around Portland as somber reminders of a bicyclist’s death.

The church has set aside an entire section for bike commuters to remember those who have died cycling.

Stun gun ends Salem standoff SALEM — Police say they used a stun gun to subdue a 40-year-old armed man holed up in a Salem-area apartment complex Saturday.

The Oregonian reports the incident ended after a fivehour standoff that included a SWAT team surrounding the apartment complex.

Police were first called to the scene after neighbors reported Erik C. Torfin was walking down a nearby street shooting a gun into the air, at the ground and at a bus shelter. Nobody was injured, but a bullet did hit a stop sign.

Police evacuated several buildings in the complex and restricted access.

Torfin was arrested after coming out of his apartment complex, but refusing to comply with verbal instructions. He suffered a head injury after hitting the pavement in response to the stun gun.

He was arrested on suspicion of unlawful use of a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm and other crimes.

Team helps ease Guard’s transition

By Julie Sullivan The Oregonian

PORTLAND — Deep inside the armory, Col. Scott McCrae studies his whiteboard and patiently, carefully, scrawls out his attack: Meet Oregon troops as soon as they land and hit them with plans for work and college. Roll out months of events. Networking. Job shadowing.

“This is good stuff,” he says, nodding.

When 2,700 soldiers of the Oregon Army National Guard’s 41st Infantry Brigade return from Iraq this week, McCrae will be waiting with nearly 50 experts to ease their transition.

Five years after he retired, McCrae is still working on an army’s future for the one soldier who never had one. His son, 1st Lt. Erik McCrae, bled to death in Baghdad after an IED attack on June 4, 2004. The Tigard High co-valedictorian, who earned degrees in math and applied physics at Linfield College in 2½ years, had followed his dad and older brother Kelby into the Oregon Guard. He died along with two of his men in the single bloodiest day for the Guard of the Iraq war. He was 25.

In the months after his son’s death, grief settled in Scott McCrae like anesthesia. He couldn’t function at the Oregon Guard, where he had risen to personnel officer. He felt no sense of urgency. Nothing mattered. He escorted his wife, Terri, to funerals of other soldiers from Erik’s battalion. Nine men died that year.

“It was too much,” he says, looking back. The Guard had been the Wallowa farm kid’s way up and out. But he couldn’t go on. He retired that September after 34 years.

A call to help Four months later, his old friend Brig. Gen. Mike Caldwell called. Erik’s battalion was returning, and he wanted McCrae to help its re-entry. No one organization was in charge.

McCrae turned to wounded soldiers from Erik’s battalion who called themselves the “Blasted Bastards.” Frustrated at being stateside with their guys still in Iraq, Sgt. 1st Class Vinnie Jacques and others were working to find jobs and other help for their buddies. McCrae hired Jacques, assembled a grassroots team of vets and met his

Col. Scott McCrae, center, meets Col. Eric Bush in Fort Lewis, Wash., on Friday as part of preparations for the Oregon National Guard’s return. When 2,700 soldiers of the Oregon Army National Guard’s 41st Infantry Brigade return from Iraq this week, McCrae will be waiting with nearly 50 experts to help make their transition easier. three goals: a toll-free helpline, a refrigerator magnet with key numbers on it and a Web site.

Since then, the Oregon reintegration team has educated more than 10,000 Oregon combat veterans about benefits, helped 650 find jobs and hosted regular summits.

They ensured that wounded Oregonians recover close to home. They sealed partnerships with the local Veterans Affairs staff and Oregon military department. With the governor’s task force, they helped push 24 new laws benefiting veterans through the Oregon Legislature.

They connect soldiers to frontline help at the county level through service officers and helped put service officers on every four-year college campus in Oregon.

The group became the central nervous system of “Fort Oregon,” the state’s new coordinated effort at reintegration. It also became the model for the Department of Defense’s national program.

At McCrae’s insistence, Jacques was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for what McCrae calls “his head-down, leaning-forward attitude.” McCrae himself won the 2007 Governor’s Gold Medal.

“I didn’t deserve it,” McCrae

says flatly. “It was the people who worked for me, and I told the governor that.”

His staff and former staff disagree.

“Under Colonel McCrae, our state created a program that is now required and mirrored in every state,” Jacques says. “The Yellow Ribbon Reintegration name came from Minnesota, but the process was designed in Oregon.”

Establishing trust Former team member J.D. Baucom, now an aide to Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., said, “He wasn’t like any other officer. Soldiers trusted him, he’d just lost a son in the same unit.”

There are no photos of Erik on his father’s office walls at the Anderson Readiness Center in Salem. No Gold Star license plates on his car. Erik’s young widow, still close to the family, has remarried. As the battalion Erik served with returns from a second Iraq tour, his father, without a trace of sentimentality, is pulling double shifts to ease every stage of the re-entry, too.

“Erik is here,” McCrae says.

“He’s always here.”

McCrae’s top priority is jobs. Up to 1,200 Oregon soldiers coming

home don’t have one. Staff Sgt. Scott Farber, 47, owned a construction company before he deployed last April. His wife worked as a medical assistant and moonlighted as a bartender. But since the birth of their son, William Scott Farber, last August, Sherri Farber has stayed home, and her husband will have just two weeks of military pay before entering Oregon’s crushed job market.

“It’s panic mode,” says Sherri, 36, of Hillsboro. “He’s going to have to try and get back into civilian life, and find a job at the same time.”

She didn’t anticipate how difficult his fifth deployment would be (he’s been both a Marine and Army Ranger), even though they were expecting.

But two months after he left this time for Iraq, she was hospitalized because the baby stopped moving. She had to go on a reduced work schedule. Her doctor contacted the Red Cross, which flew in Farber to witness the caesarean birth Aug. 12. But Dad left

again 12 days later.

Besides being seriously sleep deprived, Sherri Farber found she felt far more lonely, anxious and isolated than she ever imagined.

Friends and family called, and sons Brandon, 11, and Travis, 8, pitched in to help, but they were also reeling from Scott’s absence.

Travis especially acted out in school, and challenged his mom.

Sherri tried to channel her stress — she often had nightmares — with cleaning and paint.

“Lot of cleaning. Lot of painting, the kitchen, the baseboard, shelves.”

Farber says he survived by keeping busy. Working in the international zone in Baghdad, he had 310 missions guarding such notables as Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Govs. Ted Kulongoski and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He earned a fistful of commendations, including the Bronze Star.

But those skills don’t easily translate into a job in Oregon.

They are best suited for a private contractor in Iraq.

“I don’t want to leave my family again. It will work out,” he says.

“Something always does.” He’s thinking instead about camping with the kids and taking William to his native Minnesota to be baptized.

McCrae gets this. He said the reintegration team has learned soldiers need down time before they can look for work and so has scheduled career fairs in 30, 60 and 90 days to roll out help on a more realistic time frame.

“Soldiers are in Iraq, in combat, and 10 days later, they’re on the streets in Oregon,” McCrae says.

“That’s a mind-bender.”

Cyrus problem on commission is still a problem

W

e’re glad — though not particularly surprised — to hear that Deschutes County Planning Commission members do not believe they’ve been influenced by

the clear desires of fellow commission member Keith Cyrus. Just as Cyrus himself has made his conflict regarding a new resort lands map known and refrained from voting on any issues that affect him, we don’t doubt that his fellow commissioners are careful to vote based on fact, not friendship.

That said, Cyrus’ presence on the planning commission continues to be a problem for the group. In an era of public mistrust of government, it’s all too easy for some members of the public to read the denials of influence and decide that no matter what individual commissioners say, Cyrus’ desire to have his land included on the new map must have had some impact on someone. Where there’s smoke, in other words, there surely must be fire.

It’s that problem the county commission will have to address when Cyrus’ term expires in June. He has the right to ask for a six-month extension of the term, but county commis-

sioners are not obligated to grant it, and in this case they should not.

Again, they should appoint a new planning commission member, not because Cyrus or his fellows on that body have done something that amounts to an ethics violation. We don’t believe they have, though Cyrus might have shown better judgment in his decision to discuss his wishes during a planning commission retreat.

Instead, they should appoint a new member as a means of helping reassure the public that there’s no monkey business going on where land use planning is concerned.

Hurried Legislature a reason to worry A

quick Oregon legislative session bursting with bills is not a symptom of success. It is all the more likely to mean changes beyond the reach of its legislators.

The Oregon House passed more than 100 this past session. In a month, how many do you think got careful deliberation of consequences, both intended and unintended?

We have to agree with Gov. Ted Kulongoski that major policy changes aren’t best done in a hurry. In his veto letters on three bills last week, he wrote: “I have a serious concern as to whether the special session in February provided opportunity for citizens and interested stakeholders to be adequately involved in the development of those proposed major policy changes.”

Kulongoski’s three vetoes were on Senate Bills 1014 and 1046 and House Bill 3704. The Oregonian spelled out their details.

SB 1014 would have allowed the governor to appoint up to two educators to the Board of Education.

The statewide teachers union said it would have given the board pertinent experience. Kulongoski worried what it would mean for the board’s objectivity.

SB 1046 would have put in motion steps to allow licensed psychologists

“I have a serious concern as to whether the special session in February provided opportunity for citizens and interested stakeholders to be adequately involved in the development of those proposed major policy changes.”

— Gov. Ted Kulongoski regarding last week’s vetoed legislation

to write drug prescriptions for clients.

The case for it was that it would create greater access to care. Medical professionals, including some psychologists, opposed the bill.

HB 3704 would have changed recycling of bottles and cans. Distributors could form a co-op and set up centers around the state. Kulongoski’s concern was that it would make it more difficult for consumers.

Those are issues worthy of consideration by the Legislature. Not, though, to be decided in a headlong rush to adjourn in a month. And not when legislators knew that when they return in January, they might face as much as a $2.5 billion shortfall.

My Nickel’s Worth Week of the young child

For the people

Young children here in Deschutes County deserve the best that we can give them.

Week of the Young Child, held April 11-17, is a time to recognize the needs of young children, and thank the adults involved in their education and care.

Early education is vital to our community. Children need a strong early-learning foundation to succeed in school and in life. Parents, teachers, caregivers and other adults play important roles in the lives of young children, and Week of the Young Child celebrates their efforts.

Young children are the future of our communities. There are many ways that Deschutes County can come together for our children to show support for early learning by promoting early literacy programs, thanking teachers who care for our children and working to ensure that our public policies support early learning for all young children.

As parents, we can help lay the foundation for success by reading to our children daily, feeding them well with nutritious foods, engaging with and encouraging play and physical activity, obtaining early health screenings, keeping their environments safe and practicing safe habits.

Week of the Young Child is a time to remind us that early years are learning years.

The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act goes a long way toward restoring my faith in the idea of America as a civilized nation. As an educator, I am pleased that the act doubles funding for Pell Grants and caps monthly payments for student loans. It will help at least 5 million more people go to college.

As a cancer survivor, I am relieved to know that my insurance won’t be canceled or hiked, and that my sister will now be able to afford insurance, even though she’s been laid off.

As a voter, I’m glad my taxes are finally being used to help people instead of corporations.

Galloping to a new floor Regarding the photo on the front page of the March 30 Bulletin — the Equestrian Team rode donkeys into the gymnasium, so they could have a donkey basketball tournament! Wow! Great way to ruin the hardwood floor!

Our golden retriever’s toenails left tiny dents all over our solid oak floors, and he only weighed 90 pounds. So these students (more than 90 pounds each) plus donkeys (300 pounds each?) undoubtedly left dents in the gym’s flooring.

Several things amaze me: 1. Someone in authority at Summit High School actually allowed this to happen.

2. The photo showed virtually empty bleachers, so there doesn’t seem to be much interest in this sport.

3. Soon the gym’s flooring will have to be redone.

Will the Equestrian Team replace the gym’s flooring? Will the school authorities do it themselves, at their expense? Or will the taxpayers again “cover” for the school’s poor judgment?

Our tax money at work ...

The good business news The editorial in the Monday, March 29, paper presented some selective tax and business cost data that was meant to demonstrate that Oregon’s business climate is not as favorable as neighboring states. This seems to follow the never-ending grouching about the passage of Measures 66 and 67.

However, a recent 2010 publication by the independent national Tax Foundation shows a different picture that would suggest our Legislature has done a lot to make Oregon’s business climate very competitive. The foundation’s data includes a ranking by state of the overall business tax climate. In that ranking, among all states, Oregon ranks 14th, to Washington’s ninth, Idaho’s 18th and California’s 48th.

Those rankings result from the sum of a broad range of measures of the cost of doing business in each state.

It isn’t our state Legislature that needs to do something to help businesses. Rather, it is The Bulletin’s editorial board who should quit complaining and start promoting Oregon by printing positive rather than only negative facts.

‘Clothesline Lady’ pays the price for going green

By Susan Taylor Bulletin guest columnist

W

e recently have been fined $994.50 for noncompliance.

We live in Awbrey Butte subdivision with 25-year-old CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) that state, “clothes drying apparatus shall be screened from view.”

I had heard a lecture by Mary Wood, a University of Oregon law professor in May 2007. She talked about the narrow window of opportunity we had to respond to the devastating effects of greenhouse gases and the impact this has on the future of our planet. I had to do something. I hung a clothesline. I naively thought that others would clearly see the sensibility of this benign activity. Surely my neighbors would understand that conserving energy and decreasing carbon emissions was the right thing to do.

As it turned out, there were a few neighbors not too supportive of my zeroemission, energy-conserving activity. I talked to several, informing them why

using a clothesline was so important to me. I wrote letters. I moved my clotheslines to different locations, including the garage. I created a screening device to hide my laundry. This was met with picture-taking activity from a neighbor as well as a suggestion that maybe I’d really like to live in the country.

Brooks Resources, the keeper of the rules, told me the garage doors needed to be down. I sent formal letters to Brooks requesting they amend their CC&Rs. I requested they put clotheslines to a vote.

I requested a list of Butte property owners (so I could put it to a vote). All were denied. Brooks threatened me with legal action if I continued hanging my clothes unscreened. I stopped hanging out.

In September 2007, I found myself on the front page of The Wall Street Journal with additional national and international attention. I felt somewhat safe from the legal threats. My clotheslines went back up. I contacted local, state and federal legislators, trying to get these antiquated rules changed. I testified in Salem on a

IN MY VIEW “clothesline” bill. I sent President Obama a clothesline, requesting legislation that would include giving all Americans the right to use clotheslines.

Presently, Awbrey Butte Owners Association is the keeper of the rules. (Brooks got voted out.) We now pay an annual fee for the privilege of a whole new set of rules, in addition to the old ones, which include $20 fines for noncompliance activities. I started receiving fine notices from Aperion, the property management company for Awbrey Butte. They stated, “continuous acts of non-compliance will result in per day fines of $20” for having unscreened clotheslines. The notices were hand-delivered to our front door as well as mailed every time I hung my clothes out. I moved the clothesline to the far end of our deck, with near total natural screening from the public streets provided by our ponderosa pines. I saw our neighbor once again, taking fine pictures

of the newly positioned clothesline. I returned her $20 “friendly” wave gesture as I observed her smiling with camera in hand.

I scrupulously watched the front door and our mail for expected fine notices, nothing! There was no communication from Aperion since September 2009. I concluded the new location met approval for clothesline screening. Wrongo!

We received our annual homeowner fee statement in the mail March 8. In addition to the annual fee, there was a suspicious “balance forward” for $994.50. I immediately called Aperion to inquire about the obvious accounting error. Bingo, bango! It was a fine for my clotheslines! Included was interest accrued since September 2009. I immediately took down the clothesline.

We were supposed to have been receiving monthly statements regarding these fines. We received no statements.

There was interest added. You can’t tack on interest until a bill goes unpaid, but you have to know a bill exists!

We now await a response from a letter I sent to the board, requesting the charges be dropped. We’re supposed to be notified after their “legal council” is consulted ...

I continue to be baffled by the negative response by a limited few. I’m not sure what happened to using common sense and reason.

In the ideal world, if I could have my way, the environment would be our top priority. If our planet can no longer sustain us, all our other problems become moot. I am not ready to hop on the comet or drink the Kool-Aid. I think there is still hope. Also, we would not have homeowner associations. We’d be talking with our neighbors, having “three cups of tea” instead of taking pictures and tattling.

We’d all be hanging a clothesline, simply because it is the right thing to do.

Still hoping to sell our house and move to the country.

Susan Taylor (aka “The Clothesline Lady”) is a Bend resident.

O ‘Designing Women’ star Dixie Carter ing performers in a field already crowded with idiosyncratic personalities.”

In 1967, Carter married Arthur L. Carter, a New York investment banker who later became owner and publisher of The New York Observer. They had two daughters. Carter left show business for eight years after her marriage. She later said that, during that period, she gradually lost confidence in her talents — to the point where she was afraid to sing.

“Eventually I lost the idea that I could have a career,” she said. “I thought I was too old.”

She and Carter divorced in 1977, and that same year she married the actor George Hearn.

That marriage lasted only two years. In 1984, she married Holbrook, whom she had met doing a 1980 television film, “The Killing of Randy Webster.”

By Anita Gate New York Times News Service

Dixie Carter, an actress who gave strong, opinionated Southern women a good name in the television series “Designing Women” in the 1980s and 1990s and later had success as a cabaret singer, died Saturday in Houston. She was 70 and lived in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Her death was announced by her husDixie Carter band, the actor Hal Holbrook, who said that the cause was complications of endometrial cancer.

In “Designing Women,” which ran for seven seasons on CBS, Carter’s character, Julia Sugarbaker, led what began as an allwoman interior design business in Atlanta and specialized in sarcasm. “If sex were fast food, there’d be an arch over your bed,” she once snapped at her sister Suzanne (played by Delta Burke). Yet when Julia went into a theatrical tirade, which was often, it usually was to serve some higher social or political principle.

For some time before, Carter had been a familiar face on television. She played the sophisticated office colleague of two naive young women in a 1977-78 series, “On Our Own”; the snooty wife of a plantation owner in “Filthy Rich” in 198283; and the vibrant new stepmother of Gary Coleman in the penultimate season of “Diff’rent Strokes” in 1984-85. She received her first and only Emmy nomination in 2007 for a recurring role as Marcia Cross’ scary mother-in-law on ABC’s “Desperate Housewives.”

Dixie Virginia Carter was born May 25, 1939, in McLemoresville, Tenn., a small town roughly halfway between Mem-

Redmond Continued from B1 Some parts of the work, though, are likely to begin sooner rather than later.

City leaders want the area to look like a gateway, and so a number of aesthetic and safety changes are likely. Sidewalks, for example, do not run continuously through the area. Community Development Director Heather Richards said new sidewalks could be installed before other changes are in place. More trees might also be planted.

Census Continued from B1 “You’re looking at millions and millions that could be lost if the count isn’t done properly,” he said.

To that extent, things look good for Oregon. So far this year, the state’s 67 percent response rate is slightly higher than the national rate of 65 percent. And the Central Oregon counties are holding their own, Traver said.

“You guys are doing pretty darn good,” Traver said.

Crook County has returned 66 percent of its forms so far. Deschutes residents have mailed in 64 percent, and Jefferson Coun-

Carter, 70, who used her charm and stately beauty in a host of roles on Broadway and television, died Saturday in Houston. phis and Nashville. She was one of three children of Halbert Leroy Carter, a grocery and department store owner, and his wife, Virginia. She attended the University of Tennessee and Southwestern at Memphis, and graduated from Memphis State.

Early plans She said that after hearing a broadcast of the Metropolitan Opera at age 4 she immediately decided that she would move to New York to become an opera singer. She made her professional acting debut as Julie Jordan in a 1960 production of “Carousel” in Memphis and moved to New York in 1963.

That same year she played Perdita in a Joseph Papp production of “The Winter’s Tale” in Central Park. She then joined the Music Theater of Lincoln Center, which, under the leadership of Richard Rodgers specialized in reviving classic musicals.

Yet Carter never rose above understudy and left in 1966 to join the revues at the Upstairs at the Downstairs nightclub. Lily Tomlin and Madeline Kahn were among the other performers.

She made her Broadway debut in 1974 in a short-lived musical, “Sextet,” for which she was singled out by critics, and she appeared in a 1976 revival of “Pal Joey.” In 1997, she received favorable reviews after replacing Zoe

The older buildings in the area tend to sit behind large parking lots. Any new construction will likely happen close to the road with parking along the side or behind the buildings.

That should create an area that feels more like a downtown, Richards said.

“If you put up stuff along sidewalks — like trees — there’s not this feeling of being in wide-open space, and so I can drive really quickly through,” Richards said.

But much of the work remains unplanned. How drivers get to businesses is likely to change in the area.

ODOT and Redmond worry about drivers crossing several lanes of traffic to enter a business. To solve that, access will likely be limited. Businesses could share fewer driveways, or frontage roads may connect several businesses, according to Richards.

But the access solutions have not been finalized, she said.

“We won’t be doing anything without lots of dialogue with all the stakeholders,” Richards said.

ty residents have turned in 56 percent, according to the Census Bureau’s Web site.

In March, the bureau mailed about 120 million questionnaires to addresses across the country. Post office boxes are not included.

The bureau invested in making sure the mail-in response was high, spending $326 million on a marketing campaign.

So far, the national numbers are slightly ahead of the 2000 returns, Traver said.

“Everything is trending toward a more thorough count,” he said.

The mail-in forms also save money for the bureau. A census home visit costs an average of $57, while the mail-in forms

only cost postage.

But on May 1, home visits will begin. The bureau expects to make the bulk of the visits in May, but the work will continue until July 31.

Workers are already gearing up for home visits, Traver said, and chances of receiving a home visit increase the longer you wait to send in your form.

“That’s not to say (the bureau) is not going to accept forms after that, but the chance to coordinate between what’s coming in and the people going door-todoor is definitely minimized,” Traver said.

diagnosed, it gets a lot worse all the time. You never bounce back to normal. And I’m lucky enough where I can bounce back to somewhat living a normal life.”

Martin said she wants to put a face on multiple sclerosis and let people know that the disease affects a lot of people in the Pacific Northwest. Martin and her 135member team, the Anna Banana Bunch, will be donning bright yellow T-shirts for the event.

They expect to raise $7,000.

Can Energy Star be trusted after the GAO report?

PV Powered Charging ahead

Program approved many bogus products

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

When staff with the Government Accountability Office sent in made-up claims about a gas-powered alarm clock, Energy Star certified it as energy efficient without any questions.

When the GAO sent in bogus specifications about a geothermal heat pump, stating it was 20 percent more efficient than existing products, the heat pump sailed through the Energy Star approval process as well.

In all, the GAO made up four different companies, and in-

vented 20 imaginary products last year — and 15 of them were approved by Energy Star, a program designed to certify energy-efficient products from air conditioners to light bulbs to televisions.

The government report illustrated flaws with the Energy Star verification process and its reliance on information from manufacturers, the report’s author said. But consumer advocates said while there are problems with the Energy Star program, it still generally provides good information, and improvements are being made.

Seeking emotional clues, absent facial expressions

By Benedict Carey New York Times News Service

Developers of a 5-megawatt solar power installation near Christmas Valley have chosen the Power Vault, built by PV Powered, for the project.

Rooftop solar installations on an aircraft supply company’s warehouses in California and Georgia will include PV Powered inverters.

Bend solar inverter company has been growing at a rapid clip — and, having been bought recently, more change is in store

n the past few months, Bend-based solar products maker PV Powered has been moving at light speed.

Between December and March, inverters made by PV Powered — billed as America’s largest solar inverter maker — have been selected for about 10 major solar installations, and three weeks

ago, a Colorado-based company announced it would buy PV Powered for $90 million.

“It’s definitely been a high-growth year for us,” said Jessi Lord, marketing and communications manager. “People here are very excited about it.”

In the simplest terms, PV Powered’s inverters convert the sun’s energy collected by the solar cells into the electricity needed to run household appliances.

The company makes inverters in many sizes, from those that mount on a wall for residential use, to those that fit into a trailer for industrialsized solar installations like the 5-megawatt project near Christmas Valley.

It’s the company’s commercial-sized inverters, such as the 260-kilowatt model, that contractors have been choosing

for projects such as the largest rooftop solar installation in the Pacific Northwest and another in the mall next to Gillette Stadium, home field for the New England Patriots football team.

“With that new 260-kilowatt size, we were able to go after more projects,” Lord said.

The inverter, which began shipping last summer, hit the market as interest in solar power and other forms of renewable energy has been surging.

The federal stimulus bill made $90 billion in tax incentives, contracts, grants and loans for all aspects of clean energy.

Utility companies also have been actively seeking renewable energy projects to meet state mandates. According

to the U.S. Energy Department, more than half of the states now require some level of renewable energy generation.

Portland General Electric wanted to increase its solar portfolio when it joined with U.S. Bank to manage the largest rooftop project, which will cover 900,000 square feet over seven warehouses in the Portland area, a PGE manager said in a news release. “... The fact that we can build systems with home-grown Oregon inverter technology is an extra benefit,” Mark Osborn, PGE’s manager of distributed resources, said in a release announcing the project.

Because it’s based in the U.S., PV Powered’s products meet Buy American provisions of the federal stimulus bill.

How it works 1 Solar panels turn photons from the sun into DC electricity.

2 An inverter — the product PV Powered produces — converts DC current into AC for use in the home.

3 The AC power not used can be sent back onto the grid and used by the utility company.

MEDFORD, Mass. — The woman was afraid and alone, a fragile soul in a wheelchair who had managed to stuff a few possessions into a plastic garbage bag before being evacuated.

Like many of the Hurricane Katrina refugees who straggled into Baton Rouge, La., in the summer of 2005, she needed more than food and shelter. She needed company, sympathy — someone, anyone, to see and feel her loss — and so she searched the face of her assigned social worker in vain.

But the social worker, barely out of college, seemed somehow emotionally removed.

Something was missing.

“I could see the breakdown in the emotional connection between us, could see it happening and there was nothing I could do,” said Kathleen Bogart, 28, the social worker who is now a psychology researcher at Tufts University here. Bogart has Moebius syndrome, a rare congenital condition named for a 19th-century neurologist that causes facial paralysis.

When the people she helped made a sad expression, she continued, “I wasn’t able to return it. I tried to do so with words and tone of voice, but it was no use. Stripped of the facial expression, the emotion just dies there, unshared. It just dies.”

Refusal to file return ‘Glee’ steps into ‘Ugly Betty’s’ shoes taxes a relationship Fox TV series

Dear Abby: It has been eight years since my boyfriend, “Grant,” filed taxes. His refusal to file a tax return has caused many arguments between us.

Grant’s parents got wind of it one year and gave him money to pay them off, but he spent the money to pay other bills. Grant is an only child. His parents often bail him out financially. This has begun to gnaw at me because I’m at the point where I’m thinking about marriage and children. I know we can’t be married until he takes care of his tax problem.

How serious is it not paying your taxes? Is this something I should just ignore? I couldn’t pay the bills if he was put in jail. Will this 30-something only child ever grow up?

— April 15-Phobic Dear Phobic: According to the National Association of Enrolled Agents, a professional society of federally licensed tax practitioners, failing to file your taxes is worse than failing to pay. By not filing, your boyfriend runs the risk of paying not only the taxes he owes, but penalties and interest as well.

You need to tell Grant he can get help from an enrolled agent to guide him through the process of filing back returns and, if necessary, setting up a payment schedule with the IRS. He can locate one in his area by accessing the NAEA Web site, www.naea .org. If he doesn’t have access to a computer, his local library can help him.

More than 10,000 enrolled agents are listed. Because they are the only tax specialists licensed to practice before the IRS, Grant can be assured the matter will be handled confidentially in the most competent way.

You should not ignore Grant’s behavior. Protect yourself taxwise by filing your return separately from his until the matter is settled. Should you decide to

DEAR ABBY

marry him, file as “married, filing separately” so your incomes (at least in the eyes of the IRS) won’t be viewed as one entity. Use the same enrolled agent or find one for yourself.

Do check out this reputable organization. Don’t wait for your boyfriend to grow up to do it because at the rate he’s maturing, that may never happen.

Dear Abby: My son “Matt” is a junior in high school. He says he’s not attending the junior/senior prom this year because he doesn’t have anyone special to go with.

I tried to explain that his date doesn’t have to be a “girlfriend,” that she can just be a friend. I told him he could also go with a bunch of guys who don’t have dates.

I know later on in life Matt will regret not having gone to the prom, and I’m sad about his decision. Should I make him go even though he doesn’t want to, hoping he has a good time when he gets there? Or should I drop the issue and respect his wishes even if he’s making a mistake? Matt is 17 and not particularly social, and I think that’s why he doesn’t want to go.

— Encouraging Mom Dear Mom: There is a fine line that separates an encouraging mom from a mom who is overbearing. Your son is only a junior, and will have a chance next year to change his mind and attend the prom as a senior. Frankly, I have never had a man write me or tell me that looking back on his high school years he regretted missing a dance. A game, perhaps — but never a dance.

New episodes of “Glee” return to Fox on Tuesday night following “American Idol.” Pictured from left are cast members Cory Monteith, Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch.

continues trend of gay-friendly pop culture hits

By Eric Deggans St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times

These days, it’s obvious: The pop culture universe belongs to “Glee.”

Fox’s gay-friendly hit TV series, which returns Tuesday for its “back nine” episodes of the season, has sold more than 4 million downloaded songs on iTunes and sparked a national tour, earning both a Peabody and Golden Globe award.

Oprah Winfrey gave the Queen of All Media’s stamp of approval Wednesday, welcoming the cast with a real show choir.

And showbiz notables from Madonna to Neil Patrick Harris will be featured in upcoming episodes, drenching poignant coming-of-age stories about a group of high school show choir outcasts in a deluge of Broadway tunes, campy attitudes and gay icons. It’s a potent stew for an army of fans known as Gleeks (“Glee” + geek) fired up by show tunes, adolescent angst and snappy, pop culture-savvy dialogue.

“For the most part, the show is about a very specific idea, which is that when you are this age in high school your life is a fantasy,” said creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy, a former show choir member who came out at 15 and has woven those experiences into “Glee.” “When you walk down the hall, you feel like you’re in the spotlight.”

As enthusiasm builds for “Glee,” the hubbub feels suspi-

ciously like the buzz surrounding a show that once held the same place in the pop culture zeitgeist: the ABC dramedy “Ugly Betty.”

In 2007, when “Betty” was hot, the awards and accolades flowed, including 18 Emmy nominations and star America Ferrera making Time magazine’s list of 100 most influential people.

Now, a day after “Glee” returns to the air, “Ugly Betty” will broadcast its last episode, undone after four seasons by falling ratings and a decided lack of excitement.

The series, once a forward-looking showcase for gay characters and gay culture, concludes as “Glee” hits a new apex.

For those who track gay culture on TV, a baton has been passed, pushing gay-friendly TV even further into the mainstream.

“There is definitely a chang-

ing of the guard,” said Marc Leonard, senior vice president of multi-platform programming for the gay-centered cable channel Logo. “I always saw ‘Ugly Betty’ as a bridge to a modern take on gay characters and gay media.

‘Glee’ is heading further into that postmodern direction ... an integrated existence (where) being gay is not such a big deal.”

in a bubble almost exclusively centered on gay culture.

“Glee” expands that focus, featuring a proud, openly gay student in Chris Colfer’s Kurt Hummel, a fondness for show tunes and a flamboyant take on surviving as an outsider.

It builds a series where even the heterosexual characters are negotiating themes that resonate with the gay audience.

This is a mix that “Ugly Betty” also pioneered, featuring Ferrera’s thick-spectacled, braceswearing Betty Suarez struggling at beauty-obsessed Mode magazine while gay characters (and one transgender person) negotiated typical relationship issues.

Packaged like a glitzy, fashion-fueled soap opera, “Ugly Betty” merged Latino, gay and geek cultures into a percolating tale of an underdog’s struggle.

“That underdog theme is something the gay community understands well,” Leonard said.

Leaving ‘Planet Gay’ Leonard described early gayfriendly TV shows as existing on “Planet Gay,” putting characters

known cause; it strikes less than one in 100,000 children at birth, resulting in total, or nearly total, facial paralysis. In most cases, the eyes don’t blink and the irises move only up and down, robbing people of sideways glances and an entire vocabulary of gazes, squints and eye-rolls.

The taunts tend to start early in childhood and pile up, and no one can see the embarrassment or pain in the target. “Like having a deformity and not being able to communicate, all in one,” Bogart said.

Most people with the condition adapt. “Just like for blind people, whose senses of touch, smell, hearing become sharper,” Matsumoto said. “Same thing here, I think, only it’s in the domain of nonverbal communication.”

Continued from C1 Researchers have long known that facial expressions are crucial to social interaction and have categorized them in great detail. They know which expressions are universal; they can distinguish slight differences in expression, for example between a polite smile and a genuine one.

Still, a central question remains: How does the brain interpret others’ expressions so quickly and accurately? The answer is likely to be enormously important, experts say, both for understanding how social interactions can go smoothly and how they can go off track.

Studies so far point to what psychologists call facial mimicry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, April 12, 2010: This year, break patterns and open up to innovative thinking.

Many times you could be shocked by your choices. A new life cycle begins in January 2011. Don’t carry any unneeded baggage. Accept change, and you will float through issues. If you are single, you might have an unusual amount of suitors.

Date until you meet the right person.

If you are attached, you become more assertive than in the past.

Expect a reaction. A fellow ARIES knows how to “light your fire.”

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 You start this Monday with a jolt, wishing perhaps that it was still the weekend. Never fear — with the Moon cheering you on, there is nothing you cannot accomplish.

Don’t be surprised about an obstacle. Look at it as a bump in the road that you will skip over.

Tonight: Let go of the day’s stress.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH To be blunt, there are simply some days you are better off calling in sick or pretending you are invisible! Take in everything that goes down, knowing you do have a choice — your response.

Curb immediate reactions.

Tonight: Have a necessary chat with a family member.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Whatever your first few thoughts are this morning, they supply you with enough

adrenaline to keep you running in high gear. You might wonder which is the best course. A partner chooses to be difficult. A meeting produces key information.

Tonight: Where people are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Let your mind drift until it is clear that you must take action.

With the exception of a partner, others seem pliable, informative and supportive. Work as a team, delegating and letting others feel important. Tonight: Easy works.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Another person expresses his or her dominance.

You could establish yours, or you could rise above the issue and just let it go. Put your mind toward finding better solutions and learning more. At work, though you could be an expert, there is always more to learn. Tonight: Discuss an idea until you make a decision.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others electrify your morning, for better or for worse. Let a partner who thinks he knows more run the show. Meanwhile, go off and do your thing. Your creativity will need to emerge in order to find the right path. Tonight: Talk over dinner.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You have a list of to-do’s, and you just might toss them to the wind.

You might discover that staying on track isn’t a goal after certain events or discussions. Defer to associates and let them run with the ball.

Tonight: Sort through your options.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Whether you are the source or someone else is, the

unexpected occurs when you least anticipate it. Your flexibility is tested, as a boomerang heads in your direction. Stay easy when dealing with a difficult partner or associate. Tonight: Focus on one item at a time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH If you encounter obstacle after obstacle as you are trying to get out the door, maybe you need to understand the message: Stay home. Some days are best spent not fighting city hall.

A child or new friend would adore the extra time. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You could be upset with news that suddenly is dropped on you.

Know that you can handle it, and get past the immediate problem.

Your ability to move past a hassle might need some extra help.

Cocoon if you want to get anything done. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Investigate a financial offer or issue. You are working with a double-edged sword. Recognize the risk you are taking, and decide if it is worth it. Only you truly understand the damages as well as the pluses.

Tonight: Join a friend and visit.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You continue to surprise others. The problem comes in establishing strong, trusting relationships. If people’s nerves are always on edge with you, it could be difficult to really relate.

Is the cost of this behavior worth it? Tonight: Pay bills first. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Michael Pinneo set up his home workshop in a storage shed in Portola Valley, Calif., where he uses a machine he built at TechShop to make synthetic diamonds.

Inventors wanted.

Cool tools provided

By Ashlee Vance New York Times News Service

MENLO PARK, Calif. — Mark Hatch sees the revolution going something like this: Wealthy, love-handled Americans will turn off their televisions, put down their golf clubs and step away from their Starbucks coffees. Then they will direct their disposable income and free time toward making things — stuff like chairs, toys and, say, synthetic diamonds.

They will do this because the tools needed to make really cool things have become cheaper and because humans feel good when they make really cool things.

Should this revolution take place as planned by Hatch, much of it will happen at TechShop, a chain of do-it-yourself workshops, which has a location in Portland. Hatch is chief executive of the company, which has three locations and plans to set up about 10 more over the next 20 months.

“Making things is core to who we are as Americans,” Hatch says. “We are inventors. We are creators. Once you give people access to the tools, there will be a resurgence of creativity and innovation.”

TechShop represents an inevitable, corporatized version of the “hacker spaces” that have risen in popularity over the past couple of years to cater to people who like to hack things open and see how they work.

The typical hacker space consists of a few dozen people who share the costs of renting a work area and buying tools.

There are spaces that lean toward robotics, some that specialize in software, and others that generally encourage the melding of metal, electronics and plastic in artful forms.

TechShops offer more structure and a grander scale. Each has hundreds of members who pay a $100 monthly fee for access to a workshop and $500,000 of equipment. The members sign up for time on a machine or for a class and pop into the TechShop to do their work.

The hacker spaces and TechShop are part of what has been described as a “maker movement,” basically a surge in do-ityourself behavior that is at least partly a reaction against the banality of mass-produced goods.

Hatch is among those who say the maker cause will shift from a bandwagon to something that might have staying power in the American consciousness, like jogging or iced tea.

He says that the prices of serious tools — mills, lathes, laser cutters, 3-D printers — have fallen about 90 percent over the past 15 years. One of the company’s $17,000 lathes, for example, used to cost $250,000.

In addition, people can now connect powerful computers to these machines for a low cost.

Hatch says the Menlo Park TechShop, which now has 600 members, can turn a profit at 1,000 members.

“I believe a significant subset of Americans will trade up from Ikea to TechShop, so they can point to one of their chairs and say, ‘I made that,’” Hatch says.

“In our state, PGE has been a very aggressive utility on finding a way to integrate (solar) into the grid,” she said.

newed the credit, and PV Powered received a multimillion-dollar investment from a Washingtonbased investment firm, Evans Renewable Holdings II.

Solar exposure

The merger

Founded seven years ago, PV Powered began as a solar-products maker, not a manufacturing company that decided to start an inverter production line. Starting with a clean slate allowed the company to design inverters from the ground up, Lord said, with customer needs in mind.

The company became the first to provide a 10-year warranty on its inverters, and now offers 20year coverage as an option.

PV Powered also got involved in government research programs and high-profile projects, giving it recognition and exposure.

In one project, it teamed with Boeing to improve solar-system efficiency. In another, which examined the performance of solar cells built into roofing tiles, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory picked a PV Powered inverter for its performance and versatility, according to a 2009 project report.

The U.S. Energy Department and Sandia National Labs picked PV Powered as one of five companies to continue into the second round of research to improve the connections between solar-power systems and the electrical grid.

The solar installation at the Interstate 5-205 interchange contains PV Powered products, and the state Department of Parks and Recreation touted the company’s Oregon roots when evaluating a proposal for a solar installation at the state fairgrounds in Salem.

The Oregon Department of Energy recognized PV Powered in April 2008, awarding it the Oregon Solar Pioneer Award.

But even greater exposure came a month later when then-presidential candidate Barack Obama visited the company while campaigning in Bend. The visit made an impression. Ten months later, while promoting his renewable energy agenda in a speech, the president held out the company as an example.

PV Powered stumbled slightly in late 2008, when uncertainty over renewal of a federal energy tax credit caused a slowdown, forcing the company to lay off fewer than 10 employees.

But Congress eventually re-

Those investments will likely pay off in the sale to Advanced Energy Industries, a publicly traded company headquartered in Fort Collins, Colo.

Under the agreement, PV Powered shareholders will get $35 million in cash and $15 million in Advanced Energy stock, which closed Friday at $15.28, down about 5 cents.

Shareholders also will receive $40 million if the company meets certain financial targets between the merger’s closing and Dec. 31, according to the agreement.

In 2009, PV Powered had about $21 million in revenues, representatives of Advanced Energy said March 24.

The sale, which must be approved by regulators, would give PV Powered access to a public company with capital and access to overseas markets. Advanced Energy has sales representatives in Asia and Europe, where it picked up 45 percent and 13 percent, respectively, of its net sales in 2009, according to its annual report.

Advanced Energy, which was founded in 1981 and makes systems used in semiconductor, solar cell, flat-panel display and data storage products, had $186.4 million in revenues in 2009, according to its annual report, but reported a net loss of $102.7 million.

The acquisition is expected to add between $40 million and $50 million to Advanced Energy’s 2010 revenues, the company said in a news release.

When the sale was announced, Gregg Patterson, PV Powered CEO, said the company would stay in Bend with its employees and management intact.

Advanced Energy, however, has “transferred and continue(s) to transfer the production of substantially all of our product lines to ... Shenzhen, China,” it stated in its annual report, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Ex-

change Commission a month before the merger announcement.

In December, the company also opened a new 48,000-square-foot inverter manufacturing plant in Fort Collins, according to a news release.

A good fit?

Advanced Energy officials could not be reached for comment about what effect, if any, the company’s moves to China and its new inverter plant might have on PV Powered.

But a research analyst who follows the company said Advanced Energy manufactures its other products in China. Inverter manufacturing is done in Fort Collins, said Weston Twigg, senior research analyst with Pacific Crest Securities, an investment bank.

The merger should be a good fit for both companies, he said. While Advanced Energy has a solid history, it only recently entered the inverter market, he said, making larger-scale products than PV Powered.

Acquiring the Bend company will give Advanced Energy a good brand, new technology and new markets, and the merger means PV Powered will join a company that can help it grow. Advanced Energy’s net loss in 2009, Twigg said, could be attributed to the down semiconductor market, which picked up in the second half of the year and continues to grow.

“It’s a pretty good match,” said Twigg, whose firm may have a financial interest in Advanced Energy.

PV Powered also expects to see its sales grow, in triple digits, Lord said. That has led to increased employment at the company located

on Brinson Boulevard in northeast Bend.

The number of employees has nearly doubled in less than a year, going from about 55 in June to more than 90 as of March 24.

An expansion, which will add about 12,000 square feet of assembly area, 50,000 square feet of warehouse space and allow some employees to vacate offices in two trailers, is almost finished, she said.

All the activity and growth have kept PV Powered employees busy, but most gratifying may be what the recent sales increase indicates: The industry likes the company’s commercial inverters.

“People here are very excited about it,” Lord said. “People are very excited that it’s been accepted in the marketplace.”

GREEN ENERGY Northwest Ductless Heat Pump Project

Energy Star Continued from C1 And for Oregonians, there is an additional tool to determine energy efficiency by checking appliances for Energy Trust of Oregon certification.

Energy efficiency is something that customers at Standard TV and Appliance look for when they’re shopping for appliances and electronics, said T.J. Gaskins with the Bend store.

“It’s a big thing right now. I would say at least 75 percent of the people who come in here are looking for Energy Star,” Gaskins said. “They like to save money, and they like to do their part.”

The Energy Star program, run by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, is designed to help consumers identify products that are at least 10 percent more efficient than federal requirements.

People could believe that the government verifies those efficiency claims, said Greg Kutz, managing director of the GAO’s forensic audit and special investigations team.

“Our investigation shows that that, for many products, is not true,” Kutz said. “It is really just a representation of what the manufacturer said. There’s no independent validation.”

An Energy Star official did not return calls for comment last week, but a statement on the program’s Web site said the EPA and Energy Department are stepping up their testing of products and enforcement of companies that violate the rules.

Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports, has tested appliances and found inconsistencies between some of its independent tests and manufacturers’ reports on how much energy products use, and whether they qualify for Energy Star, said Shannon Baker-Branstetter, policy analyst with the organization.

A recent Consumer Reports test of freezers, for example, found that one freezer with the Energy Star label actually used 70 percent more electricity than the manufacturer claimed.

The program needs more independent certification that the products are as efficient as manufacturers claim, she said — and it appears that federal agencies are taking steps in that direction.

The Department of Energy is planning to start testing six of the most popular types of appliances, Baker-Branstetter noted, including refrigerators, dishwashers and air conditioners. And the agency will add to that list in coming months to verify that models labeled with the Energy Star logo meet the requirements.

“I’m definitely hopeful in the next couple years we’ll see more improvement,” she said.

And even though Consumer Reports found some products use more energy than they claim, the Energy Star program is still the best way consumers have to gauge efficiency, Baker-Branstetter said.

“Given the number of tests we do, the number of problems is still relatively small,” she said. “I don’t think that’s necessarily indicative that consumers should be afraid of buying Energy Star.”

If people are shopping for efficient goods, they should still look for the Energy Star label, she said.

Beyond Energy Star Consumers also can compare products themselves using the yellow Energy Guide tags that show how much electricity a product uses.

If the appliance uses water — like a dishwasher or a washing machine — people can look at the Water Sense tag to determine how water-friendly it is.

Consumers can do some factchecking themselves, BakerBranstetter added, by examining their power bills after buying an item. Although there are many factors that go into a home’s electricity use, if people replace a 10year-old fridge with an energy-efficient model, they can probably expect to see improvements.

If customers don’t notice a change, she said, they can write to the Consumers Union or the Department of Energy, which can collect complaints and possibly

do additional testing.

Energy Trust Oregonians looking for products that are easy on electric bills also can check appliances for certification from the Energy Trust of Oregon, which often has stricter standards, said Kendall Youngblood, residential sector manager with the organization.

For example, Energy Trust offers rebates for clothes washers that have a modified energy factor, a unit of efficiency, of 2.2.

Energy Star-labeled products are only required to have a modified energy factor of 1.8, meaning they can be less efficient.

Energy Trust is a nonprofit organization that customers of certain utilities, including Pacific Power and Cascade Natural Gas, fund through a percentage of their utility bill. The organization supports energy efficiency and renewable-energy projects, and provides rebates for some energyefficient products.

Energy Trust has tighter standards than Energy Star for most major appliances, she said — in part because for items like clothes washers, the majority of the washing machines on the market have improved to where they meet Energy Star standards.

The federal program plans to raise its standards to make it harder for washing machines to earn the Energy Star label, she said, but in the meantime, Energy Trust wants to provide incentives for people to choose the most efficient products available.

Energy Trust also has conducted surveys of consumer bills after people have installed new devices, to see if energy use dropped, she said.

And Youngblood said that although the GAO pointed out some flaws with Energy Star, the program does help save energy — the equivalent of taking 30 million cars off the road. The flaws “... are really small compared to the number of products out there,” she said.

Recently, Randall Marchington, an expert mechanical estimator from Bend Heating answered questions about the Northwest Ductless Heat Pump Project and high efficiency ductless heat pump systems on the market. He also discussed how people can save money and benefit from the best incentives ever offered for installing high efficiency equipment for heating and cooling your home.

Q: Randall, what is the Northwest Ductless Heat Pump Project?

A: It is a project developed by the The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) to demonstrate the use of inverter-driven ductless heat pumps to displace electric resistance heat in single family homes across the region. The NEEA is a private, nonprofit organization funded by Northwest Utilities, the Energy Trust of Oregon and the Bonneville Power Administration.

Q: Are there incentives like rebates and tax credits available when you convert to a ductless heat pump?

A: Yes, the incentives are very generous. For example if you were to install a standard 15,000 BTU ductless heat pump at an estimated cost of $3,790, you would receive a $1500 incentive from Central Electric Cooperative and if a PP&L customer, $400.00 from the Energy Trust of Oregon, plus a federal tax credit of $1,137, a state tax credit of $150, and $150 manufacturer’s rebate. That would be a net out of pocket expense of $878, plus the electrical hook up cost when it’s all said and done.

Q: How much money can I save on electric bills by installing a ductless heat pump?

A: A Ductless Heating and Cooling System is a highly efficient system that is quickly and easily installed as a new primary heat source for electrically heated homes. Ductless Heat Pump systems heat and cool homes at a fraction of the cost of baseboards and wall heaters. The savings can be as much as 50% to 60% of what you are currently paying. So you can see that it won’t take long to actually start putting money in your pockets.

Q: What sets Bend Heating apart from other well known heating companies?

A: Bend Heating has served all Central Oregon communities since 1953. That’s 57 years, longer than any other company. We are required to be certified by federal, state and local agencies. We participate in rigorous ongoing training that requires us to perform many different tests to certify the installation is correct and the paperwork is order for the rebates and tax credits to go through.

Q: How can people contact you for more information?

A: You can contact me at 541-382-1231 or email me at randall@bendheating.com and I’m happy to provide a no obligation estimate of costs and savings.

Nats’ top pick wins minor league debut

Lefty comes out on top at Augusta

ALTOONA, Pa. — Wherever Stephen Strasburg’s formidable right arm eventually takes him, the record books will always show his first professional win came April 11, 2010, in his minor league debut, at a stadium with a rollercoaster looming beyond right field, in this town of 50,000 nestled in the Allegheny Mountains.

He consistently pitched in the 97-98 mph range over his five innings for the Double-A Harrisburg (Pa.) Senators Sunday, allowing four runs — one earned — and four hits, striking out eight batters.

Strasburg was the No. 1 overall pick in June’s amateur draft and signed a record $15.1 million, four-year contract in August. He is expected to be a member of the Nationals’ rotation sometime this summer — and, the club hopes, far beyond.

With all eyes on him — and a more-than-capacity-crowd of 7,887 in attendance — Strasburg stretched and jogged in the outfield, more than a dozen cameras capturing his every move. When he made it to the mound, he pitched those five innings, throwing 82 pitches Sunday and helping Harrisburg beat Altoona 6-4.

For good measure, Strasburg even delivered an RBI double in Harrisburg’s threerun fifth inning for his first professional hit.

Winning a third green jacket is an emotional affair for Phil Mickelson

The sting of losing has never been sharper for Tiger

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Even sweeter than Phil Mickelson slipping into another green jacket was seeing his wife waiting for him behind the 18th green at Augusta National with tears streaming down her face.

Amy Mickelson, with her long blonde hair and easy smile, had not been at a tournament since she was diagnosed with breast cancer 11 months ago.

Her husband had not looked the same ever since.

A shattered world seemed at peace in the fading sunlight Sunday at the Masters, where Mickelson made one last birdie for a 5-under 67 to capture his third green jacket with a three-shot victory over Lee Westwood.

The short answer: He can’t. Or won’t.

A fourth-place finish at Augusta National would be the highlight of a career for some guys, and a mild disappointment for others. Woods is not one of them. It pained him every time he failed to win long before his SUV went pin-balling down the driveway and deposited him at the punchline of late-night TV jokes for five solid months. If anything, losing this tournament stung more than all the previous setbacks here rolled into one.

Harrisburg Senators pitcher Stephen Strasburg throws in the third inning of his first professional start on Sunday.

Beavs drop series finale to UCLA CORVALLIS — Stefen Romero hit his seventh home run of the season, but the 17th-ranked Oregon State baseball team lost the series finale to No. 3 UCLA, 8-2, Sunday afternoon at Goss Stadium.

Romero’s homer tied the game at 2-2 in the sixth inning, a shot over the left field fence on a 2-0 pitch from UCLA starter Rob Rasmussen. However, Rasmussen, who was able to get the win after going seven full innings, shut the Beavers down until the top half of the seventh, when Tyler Rahmatulla hit a solo homer to right that served as the game-winner.

UCLA scored five times in the ninth to secure the victory. The Bruins improved to 25-3 overall and 4-2 in Pacific-10 Conference play.

The Beavers dropped to 208 overall and 3-3 in league games.

Sam Gaviglio made his second start of the season for Oregon State, going 4 2⁄3 innings. He scattered six hits and two runs while striking out a season-best seven. He did not get a decision.

Rob Folsom led the Beavers with two hits.

Oregon State hosts Stanford in a series that starts on Friday.

SISTERS — For most casual runners, completing a 30-kilometer race would be quite an accomplishment. And finishing a 60K — almost unfathomable.

But in the eyes of ultrarunners, it is all relative.

“I’ve been doing ultras for a while, since I was 23. I do up to 100 miles. So this distance actually feels short and fast, which is weird to say,” noted Ashley Nordell, 30, of Sisters, walking off the brick-red track at Sisters Middle School just minutes after finishing the 60K in the Peterson Ridge Rumble 60K & 30K Trail Run. “It feels like a sprint to me. I’m sure to someone who runs 5Ks, it (my pace) looks slow.”

Nordell won the women’s division of the 36.5-mile run on mostly singletrack trail through the Deschutes National Forest with a time of 5 hours, 1 minute, 32 seconds.

Race organizer Sean Meissner noted that the Peterson Ridge Rumble courses change a little each year, depending on the new trails built as part of the Sisters Community Trails System.

Boston Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, bottom, collides with third baseman Adrian Beltre while trying to catch a foul ball off the bat of Kansas City Royals’ Mitch Maier during the ninth inning of Sunday’s game in Kansas City, Mo.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Boston Red Sox survived two scares on Sunday — a possible serious injury to Jacoby Ellsbury and a Kansas City Royals rally.

Adrian Beltre had three hits and three RBIs for the Red Sox in an 86 victory, but he also was part of a ninth-inning collision that resulted in Ellsbury, the Boston left fielder from

Madras in Central Oregon, being helped off the field.

“He kneed me right in the ribs,” Ellsbury said. “I was worried about a broken rib. I’m sure there is quite a bit of swelling in there because it is a little tough to breath. It didn’t feel too good initially.

“They got good enough X-rays.

They’ll just probably blow them up on a bigger monitor (today) and make sure there is nothing like a minor break. There was nothing obvious on it.”

Ellsbury and Beltre, the Boston third baseman, were chasing Mitch Maier’s foul fly ball when they collided.

S B Baseball • Lee throws 45 pitches in bullpen session: Cliff Lee took another step toward joining the Seattle Mariners’ rotation, throwing 45 pitches off the bullpen mound before Sunday’s game against the Texas Rangers. Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu said he was encouraged by what he saw from Lee, who is on the 15-day disabled list with an abdominal strain and is expected to miss the first month of the season. The 2008 Cy Young Award winner will throw a 60-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and a 35-40 pitch simulated game on Friday. After that, Lee could go on a minor league rehab assignment.

• Bonds says he’s ‘proud’ of friend Mark McGwire: Home run king Barry Bonds said he is “proud” of slugger Mark McGwire for returning to baseball as the St. Louis Cardinals’ hitting coach and for admitting his use of performance-enhancing drugs. “I have a really good friendship with Mark McGwire. I’m proud of him,” Bonds said Sunday. “We’ve had a great relationship throughout our entire lives and throughout our career. I’m proud of what he did. I’m happy for him.” While Bonds didn’t rule out also going into coaching one day, his six-minute session with the media was stopped after the question about McGwire. Bonds has long denied ever knowingly using steroids or performance-enhancers in his pursuit of the career home run record.

• Big Unit to kick off Mariners’ home season: Recently retired Seattle Mariners star Randy Johnson is throwing out the ceremonial first pitch today before Seattle’s home opener. Johnson is making his first return to Seattle since he retired in January — after 22 seasons, 303 wins, 4,875 strikeouts and one World Series co-MVP while playing for the Expos, Mariners, Astros, Diamondbacks, Yankees and Giants.

Winter sports • Luge aims to rebuild image: The president of the International Luge Federation acknowledged that the sport’s image has been damaged by Nodar Kumaritashvili’s death at the Vancouver Olympics. Josef Fendt told The Associated Press on Sunday that confidence must be rebuilt in the sport after the 21-year-old Georgian died hours before the start of the Winter Games two months ago. “We have to work on that to fully restore our image and the trust in our sport,” Fendt said at the conclusion of a two-day session in Austria in which experts completed the governing body’s analysis of the Feb. 12 crash in Whistler. “You can never lean back and think you have done enough for safety,” Fendt added. “We have a high standard, but it will always be a key subject to us.”

Cycling • Cancellara wins Paris-Roubaix: Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland won the Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, capturing the French race for a second time and claiming his second victory in a one-day classic in eight days. Cancellara won by two minutes after dominating a field that included three-time winner Tom Boonen of Belgium. The Swiss rider, who won the 2006 Paris-Roubaix, finished first in the Tour of Flanders last Sunday. Thor Hushovd of Norway was second and Juan Antonio Flecha of Spain was third, also two minutes behind.

Football • Texas Stadium demolished: More than 20,000 people gathered at tailgate parties and other spots Sunday to watch fireworks go off one last time over Texas Stadium before a ton of dynamite lit up the Dallas Cowboys’ longtime home and brought it to the ground. The building known for the giant hole in its roof — “so God can watch his team,” according to local lore — was demolished in a planned implosion set off by the 11-year-old winner of an essay contest. The Cowboys played 38 seasons in Texas Stadium, winning five Super Bowls during that time.

• Jets acquire WR Holmes: A person familiar with the deal says the New York Jets have acquired wide receiver Santonio Holmes from the Pittsburgh Steelers for a fifthround draft pick this month. The person spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams had yet to announce the trade Sunday night.

Holmes, the 2009 Super Bowl MVP, is facing a lawsuit in Florida from a woman who claims he threw a glass at her, cutting her above the eye, in an Orlando nightclub.

Golf • James Morrison wins Madeira Islands Open: England’s James Morrison won the Madeira Islands Open on Sunday for his first PGA European Tour title, birdieing the final hole for a 2-under 70 and a one-stroke victory over countryman Oliver Fisher. Morrison, the 25-year-old former Challenge Tour player, had a 20-under 268 total on the Seve Ballesteros-designed Porto Santo course that features 500-foot seaside cliffs.

— From wire reports

Querrey falls to Chela in Clay Court Championships The Associated Press HOUSTON — Juan Ignacio Chela hadn’t been in a championship match in more than three years.

When he got there Sunday, he didn’t forget how to win.

Chela rallied to beat American Sam Querrey 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 at the U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championship for his first title since he beat Carlos Moya at Acapulco in March 2007.

Ranked 82nd in the world, Chela came in quietly, started winning and feeling better as the seeded players started falling.

“Once I won my first match, I started feeling confident,” he said.

“Then as I got closer to the end I did feel like I could take it.”

Chela turned aggressive in the second set and pulled away from the hard-serving Querrey for his fifth tour championship.

At the end, Chela felt great,

TENNIS ROUNDUP while the younger Querrey was cramping.

“I was feeling strong, but I did notice that he was starting to get tired so I started to have a lot of chances in the third set,” Chela said.

Querrey played in his first clay court final. He is 10-18 on clay for his career. Chela is 155-106.

Chela stayed steady on his favorite surface and wrapped up the title at the first match point when Querrey returned a serve out of bounds.

Chela earned $79,900 and Querrey took home $42,000.

Querrey, ranked No. 25, hit 19 winners to two for Chela in the first set. By the end of the second set, Chela was matching Querrey winner for winner.

Querrey said he learned a valuable lesson.

“I learned that I need to take more chances, hit the ball bigger at big points,” Querrey said. “I was babying the ball around too much.

If you fly or the ball goes long, you’re going to lose the way you want to lose.”

Also on Sunday: Wozniacki takes Ponte Vedra title PONTE VEDRA, Fla. — Topseeded Caroline Wozniacki took advantage of Olga Gorvotsova’s numerous mistakes and successfully defended her title in the MPS Group Championships with a 6-2, 7-5 victory. Gorvotsova, who had 41 unforced errors, committed five of her eight double faults in the first set, but then jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the second set against the second-ranked player in the world. The unseeded Gorvotsova, who knocked off No. 2 seed Alona Bondarenko and third-seeded Dominika Cibulkova to reach the

final, led 5-4 in the second and lost a pair of set points, including a backhander into the net aimed at an open court.

Wawrinka wins Casablanca final CASABLANCA, Morocco — Top-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka beat Romania’s Victor Hanescu 6-2, 6-3 to win the Grand Prix Hassan II. The Swiss player broke Hanescu twice in the first set and held serve.

In the second set he won four games in a row to take a 5-1 lead, then held off the third-seeded Hanescu after the set went to 5-3.

Pennetta triumphs in Spain MARBELLA, Spain — Secondseeded Flavia Pennetta defeated Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2, 4-6, 63 to win the Andalucia Open. The 16th-ranked Italian player served up six aces and broke her Spanish opponent seven times on the outdoor clay to take her first title of the season.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, top, puts up a shot as Portland Trail Blazers forward Nicolas Batum defends during the first half of their NBA basketball game, Sunday in Los Angeles.

Late free throws help give Blazers win over Lakers

By Greg Beacham The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Martell Webster’s flawless free-throw stroke was just about the only thing that worked the way it’s supposed to in a significant win for the Portland Trail Blazers’ hopes of avoiding a return to Staples Center next week.

Yet given the way these Blazers have been playing for nearly two months, they’re bound to be big trouble for anybody in the postseason — even if it turns out to be the Los Angeles Lakers anyway.

Webster hit three free throws with 3.1 seconds left, and Portland moved into a tie for seventh place in the Western Conference standings with a 91-88 victory over the defending NBA champions Sunday.

Portland (49-31) snapped a five-game road losing streak against the top-seeded Lakers (56-24) while tying San Antonio with two games to play, but only after a comedy of errors in the final minutes.

Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher were left chuckling to each other after they combined to miss three free throws in the last 6.9 seconds, and Pau Gasol missed a three-pointer at the buzzer for the Lakers, who have lost six of nine.

Webster only got the chance to win it for Portland because of his weird shot selection. Instead of driving for a simpler shot in the final seconds of an even game, the reserve swingman pulled up for an awkward, one-legged three-point attempt — and Fisher couldn’t avoid fouling him in his surprise.

“It was definitely hostile out there,” Webster said after sinking three straight free throws for the second time in the final 3:34. “I just went up there and shot them with confidence. ... That’s the kind of atmosphere that will be there in the playoffs. It’s a good chance we might be playing these guys in the first round, so going out there, you can have butterflies, but once that ball tips in the air, you’ve got to let it go.”

LaMarcus Aldridge had 24 points and 11 rebounds for the Blazers, who lost leading scorer Brandon Roy at halftime because of a sore right knee. Webster scored 16 points, Andre Miller added 15 for the Blazers, and Marcus Camby had 10 points and 17 rebounds, including a go-ahead tip-in basket with 12.7 seconds left.

“That was just crazy,” Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. “We fouled Kobe, they fouled us, Kobe missed two free throws, Fisher missed a free throw — I mean, just a crazy ending. ... The Lakers are good, and whoever we face (in the playoffs) is going to be a challenge. It’s been a tough, grind-it-out type of game every time we’ve played them.”

Yet while the Lakers sputter down the stretch, Portland is purring: The Blazers haven’t lost back-to-back games since Feb. 19-21.

Gasol had 23 points and 12 rebounds, and Lamar Odom added 16 points and 15 rebounds for the Lakers, while Bryant had 20 points on eight-of-23 shooting.

After clinching the top seed by beating Minnesota on Friday, the Lakers sim-

ply are trying to stay healthy before the playoffs begin next Sunday, but they’re also trying to recapture the form that led them to the top of the conference before their recent struggles.

“Our margin for error is not as big as it was in the past,” Fisher said. “Teams are getting better. It’s not that far off, as far as I’m concerned, but that doesn’t mean we’re OK with what’s happening.”

Bryant took off the Lakers’ last two games to rest his litany of injuries, most prominently his swollen right knee. Bryant also has a broken bone in a finger on his shooting hand and a sprained ankle.

After a rocky performance that didn’t include a free throw until the final 31 seconds, Bryant made a three-pointer and a three-point play in the final minute while Los Angeles rallied from a seven-point deficit to take an 87-86 lead.

But after Camby’s tip-in, Bryant clanged two free throws.

“I haven’t been shooting free throws very well anyway,” Bryant said. “I’m trying to brush up on them, change it up a little bit ... but even if I made two, their guy shot three free throws, but then Pau would have shot two ... I don’t know.”

Roy, the Blazers’ leading scorer with 21.8 points per game, played 11 minutes in the first half before the Blazers ruled him out at halftime with knee soreness.

Roy had struggled with a sore back in recent days, missing practice to rest up for the playoffs.

While the rest of the NHL wrapped up the regular season, the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers got a jump start on the playoffs.

Sidney Crosby put on a show of his own Sunday and nearly skated off with another scoring title. He settled for a share of his first goal championship.

For Philadelphia, the season will continue through at least one playoff round. The Rangers are done. A late-season surge fell a shootout short.

Both the Flyers and Rangers faced the same Game 7 reality on Sunday in Game 82 of the season. Win and you’re in. Lose and go home. Henrik Lundqvist starred for New York by making 46 saves through overtime, but he was beaten twice in the shootout and took a 2-1 loss.

Philadelphia clinched the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference and became the NHL’s last participant to qualify for the playoffs. The Flyers went from early season Stanley Cup contenders to nearly missing the postseason. Now they will face the second-seeded New Jersey Devils in the opening round and will try to live up to previous expectations.

That brings us to Sid the Kid, who closed the regular season in style.

One night after the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 1-0 disappointing loss at Atlanta wrecked the defending Stanley Cup champions’ bid for the Atlantic Division title, Crosby gave them something to celebrate. The 22-year-old captain hit the 50-goal milestone for the first time in his already brilliant five-year NHL career.

Crosby didn’t stop there. His second goal against the Islanders, scored 55 seconds into the middle period, gave him a league-best 51 goals and his first Maurice Richard Trophy. He is the co-winner with Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos, whose emptynet goal Sunday was his 51st.

Crosby blew past two-time

Playoff matchups EASTERN CONFERENCE • No. 1 Washington vs. No. 8 Montreal • No. 2 New Jersey vs. No. 7 Philadelphia • No. 3 Buffalo vs. No. 6 Boston • No. 4 Pittsburgh vs. No. 5 Ottawa WESTERN CONFERENCE • No. 1 San Jose vs. No. 8 Colorado • No. 2 Chicago vs. No. 7 Nashville • No. 3 Vancouver vs. No. 6 Los Angeles • No. 4 Phoenix vs. No. 5 Detroit defending league MVP Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals and Stamkos, who both began the day with 50 goals.

Crosby had two goals and three assists in Pittsburgh’s 6-5 overtime victory Sunday.

The fourth-seeded Penguins will start their playoff defense of the Cup with fifth-seeded Ottawa.

Ovechkin, the NHL’s top goal scorer the past two seasons, also finished second in the overall points race to Vancouver’s Henrik Sedin.

Now Alex the Great can turn his attention to the playoffs, where the Presidents’ Trophywinning Capitals will look to make noise. Washington, which earned an NHL-best 121 points, will open against Montreal.

The San Jose Sharks finished first in the West for the second straight year and will try to turn that into postseason success that has often eluded them.

Last season they captured their first Presidents’ Trophy, but were knocked out in the first round by No. 8 Anaheim. This time the Sharks will take their chances with eighth-seeded Colorado.

NHL ROUNDUP

Detroit denies Chicago No. 1 seed in the West The Associated Press CHICAGO — Brad Stuart scored at 3:11 of overtime as Detroit prevented Chicago from winning the Western Conference with a 3-2 victory.

A victory would have allowed the Blackhawks to tie San Jose (113) for most points in the Western Conference and Chicago would have won a tiebreaker because it had more victories.

Instead the Blackhawks had their six-game winning streak end, finishing with 112 points and now have the No. 2 seed.

They will open the playoffs against Nashville.

Nationals 5, Mets 2 NEW YORK — Josh Willingham wound up with a grand slam off Johan Santana after a wild sequence in the first inning capped by an instant replay review, leading Washington to the victory. Willingham’s drive hit the wall in left-center and was initially ruled in play.

He tried to stretch his triple when the ball got away from catcher Rod Barajas and was tagged out, leaving both players sprawled across home plate. After checking the replay, the umpires ruled a home run.

Brewers 8, Cardinals 7 MILWAUKEE — Casey McGehee homered in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting Milwaukee over St. Louis after the Cardinals rallied against closer Trevor Hoffman. Hoffman was protecting a 7-4 lead with two outs in the top of the ninth when baseball’s career saves leader unraveled for

the second straight appearance. Albert Pujols hit his second two-run homer of the game to cut the lead to one, and Matt Holliday followed with a tying shot.

THE BULLETIN • Monday, April 12, 2010 D5

Mickelson Continued from D1 The outcome was never in doubt when he arrived on the 18th green. The conclusion was more emotional than anyone expected.

“I wasn’t sure if she was going to be there,” Mickelson said.

He shared a long embrace with his wife behind the 18th green, and as he walked to the scoring trailer to sign for the lowest score at Augusta in nine years, a single tear trickled down his cheek to his lip.

“We’ve been through a lot this year. It means a lot to share some joy together,” Mickelson said at the green jacket ceremony, his voice cracking has he struggled to keep control. “It’s been such an incredible week, an emotional week. And to cap it off with a victory is something I can’t put into words.

“It’s something we’ll share for the rest of our lives.”

Determined to win one for his family, Mickelson made two remarkable par saves from the trees, seized control with a 15foot birdie putt in the heart of Amen Corner and then made a gutsy play with a 6-iron off the pine straw and over Rae’s Creek on the par-5 13th to set up a birdie. It was a daring shot, the kind that has brought Lefty so much criticism for taking on too much.

There was simply no denying him in this Masters.

His final birdie only mattered on the scorecard, 16-under 272, the lowest by a Masters champion since Tiger Woods in 2001.

Mickelson had this won as he walked up the 18th fairway to a massive ovation. He raised both arms when the putt fell, had a long embrace with caddie Jim “Bones” Mackay, then walked toward the scoring hut and into his wife’s arms.

Standing behind them was Mary Mickelson, his mother, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in July.

So ended a Masters unlike any other.

It began with Woods returning from a humiliating sex scandal, which brought a sharp rebuke from Masters chairman Billy Payne and scrutiny of his behavior throughout the week.

His wife was not at the Masters for the first time, although Woods performed as though his five-month hiatus never happened. He broke par all four rounds, closed with a 69 and tied for fourth with K.J. Choi, five shots behind.

For Westwood, this was his best chance at winning a major, but he failed to make putts to stay in range.

“Phil, being the champion he is, hit some great shots coming down the stretch,” said Westwood, who closed with a 71 for his best finish ever in a major.

Phil Mickelson talks to his wife, Amy, as their daughter Amanda, right, looks on after Mickelson’s round.

“He’s been through hard times recently, and he deserves a break or two.”

Anthony Kim closed with a 65, the best score of the tournament, and finished alone in third.

Mickelson became the eighth player with at least three Masters titles, and it was the fourth major of his career, breaking out of a pack that had included Ernie Els, Padraig Harrington and Vijay Singh from his generation.

Woods offset a few signature moments with some poor putting, none more shocking than a three-putt from 6 feet on the 14th hole.

“I finished fourth. It’s not what I wanted,” Woods said in a terse interview with CBS Sports analyst Peter Kostis. “I wanted to win this tournament. As the week went on, I kept hitting the ball worse.”

Asked about his dour mood as his game got away from him, Woods said, “People are making way too much of a deal on this.”

He also said he did not know when he would return, saying he needed time off to evaluate.

For Mickelson, it’s a celebra-

tion to remember.

During the green jacket ceremony, Mackay sat on the grass with his legs crossed, cheeks stained with tears. It was Mackay who made countless trips to San Diego to be with Mickelson as he tried to cope with the uncertainty of his wife’s illness.

Mackay, whose wife stood behind the 18th green with Amy Mickelson, had a hunch the end of this Masters victory would look like the other two, with the entire Mickelson clan waiting for a hug.

“I didn’t really want to look up because I knew I’d get choked up if I saw her,” Mackay said. “It was great to see her there, for sure.”

Mickelson was the only player among the top 10 to play without a bogey in the final round. Right when it looked like it might slip away from him, Lefty came through with two par saves from the trees on No. 9 and No. 10, then pulled away with the clutch 9-iron on the 12th to 15 feet behind the hole.

Woods teased with contention by making two eagles in one round for the second time this week. Most of the day, however,

Tiger Continued from D1 It marked the first time Woods shot four rounds under par at the Masters — a tournament he’s won four times — and walked away without a green jacket.

“I only enter events to win,” he said, “and I didn’t get it done.”

Gone was much of the grace he displayed in losing before, replaced by a distant stare and an emotional state that can be best described as mechanical. Someone asked whether the attempt to control his temperament had extracted too big a toll.

“I think people are making way too much of a big deal of this thing,” he replied. “I was not feeling too good.”

Woods was talking about his comfort level on the golf course, but his eyes were smoldering.

Controlling his emotions at that moment appeared to be every bit as difficult as during the rollercoaster, birdie-and-bogey-filled adventure he’d endured for the previous five hours. Woods angrily ticked off a litany of shots that hadn’t come off the way he planned — “snipes ... quacks ... cuts” — beginning with his opening tee shot on a sparkling Sunday afternoon that once held so much promise.

“I don’t know how people think you can be happy about that,” Woods said finally. “These are not things I normally do. So I’m not going to be smiling and not going to be happy.”

At that point, Woods left us to wonder whether the sullen face he turned to the world mirrored how he felt inside.

He never had more eyeballs trained on him than when he pulled the driver back for his first tee shot on Thursday. He sent that rocketing long and true down the first fairway. When he papered over three bogeys

Phil Mickelson hits from the pine needles on the 13th hole during the final round of the Masters on Sunday. Mickelson reached the green and carded a birdie on the hole. he was always too many shots back to scare anyone.

He was seven shots behind walking down the seventh fairway, then holed out for eagle to begin an eagle-birdie-birdie run that put him within three shots. Woods hit a tree from the middle of a small forest to the right of the 11th fairway, and just when it looked as though he would make a great escape, he missed a 5-foot par putt.

His hopes ended on the 14th when he missed a slick 6-foot birdie putt, then reached over to tap it in and missed that one.

Even with an eagle on the 15th, his Masters was over.

He’d better. And fast.

Tiger Woods takes the first of two shots to get out of a bunker on the second hole during the final round of the Masters Sunday. with a birdie and two eagles and brought back a 68, the galleries screamed themselves hoarse.

Woods got the same reception Friday and looked even sharper.

If you closed your eyes and just listened to the roars, or the questions he got in the interview room afterward, it felt like Woods and his mastery of this confounding game had never left.

But he knew better.

“As the week wore on,” Woods said, “I kept hitting the ball worse.”

Not surprising, perhaps, his temper began cracking through the calm facade every time a hole in his game opened up. He stopped in mid-curse when he pulled an iron at No. 14 late Friday afternoon. By midday Saturday the microphones caught him at No. 6 yelling at himself, “Tiger, you suck!”

Yet even as Mickelson began his charge from five strokes off the lead late that afternoon, it stirred the competitor in Woods.

He made five birdies of his own during a wearying back nine and appeared to right himself. But there was this telling exchange

with reporters afterward: “How is the mental focus?”

“It’s fine,” Woods said. “That’s never a problem.”

“Playing three days in a row isn’t getting ...”

Woods cut the questioner off.

“It’s not a problem,” he nearly blurted out.

Maybe so.

But Bobby Jones, who founded the Masters and insisted on a gentlemanly code of conduct that ever yone of his successors has taken pains to enforce to this day, once said this about the game: “Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course, the space between your ears.”

There’s no way to know, of course, what’s going on in that space of Tiger’s. No word, either, on where Woods intends to play next or whether he plans to change anything based on his first real outing in public since he pulled the rug out from under himself.

“I’m going to take a little time off and re-evaluate things,” Woods said.

Whatever doubts there are about Woods as a person, his golf doesn’t appear to be suffering. It was his first competition in five months, his first time in public since he became tabloid fodder for his rampant infidelity. Yet he performed as if he had never been gone.

Choi’s only consolation was going all four rounds with Woods at Augusta and matching his score. He wanted much more, and for the longest time was poised to give Asia successive majors following Y.E. Yang’s win at the PGA Championship.

He unraveled on the 13th, a

hole where he had made birdie the previous three rounds. From the fairway, he tugged his approach into the back bunker, leaving him a frightening shot down a steep slope toward Rae’s Creek. He barely got it out of the sand, then three-putted for a bogey. Another bogey followed on the 14th.

Kim, who set a Masters record last year with 11 birdies in the second round, came out of nowhere. He played a four-hole stretch starting on the 13th in only 11 shots — an eagle and three birdies — and finished with two strong pars to post at 12-under 276.

HIGH GEAR: INDY CAR

Dixon races to 50th NHRA victory The Associated Press BAYTOWN, Texas — Larry Dixon raced to his second victory of the season and 50th overall Sunday, beating Antron Brown in the Top Fuel final in the O’Reilly NHRA Spring Nationals at Houston Raceway Park.

Matt Hagan (Funny Car), Jeg Coughlin (Pro Stock) and Andrew Hines (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also won in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event.

Dixon had a 4.541-second pass at 222.36 mph to Brown’s 4.638 at 173.32 to move into eighth place on the career victory list, breaking a tie with Don “The Snake” Prudhomme.

“That’s more than I thought I’d ever do in my lifetime ... and I’m not done living yet,” Dixon said.

He dedicated the win to 3year-old son Darien, who was hospitalized earlier in the week with a bacterial infection.

Dixon also broke a tie with Jeg Coughlin (6.599 at 210.77), who moments earlier collected his 49th career Pro Stock win over Allen Johnson (6.596 at 210.77). Coughlin won No. 49 on a holeshot, using a 21-hundredths edge on the starting line to build a lead he never relinquished.

In Funny Car, 2009 Rookie of the Year contender Hagan raced to his first career victory.

He had a 4.390-second pass at 247.57 mph to beat Jeff Arend (4.714 at 231.20).

In Pro Stock Motorcycle, three-time champion Hines won for the first time in 2010 with a 6.998-second pass at 196.02. Points leader Hector Arana fouled in the final.

Helio Castroneves leads Scott Dixon during the Indy Car Series’ Indy Grand Prix of Alabama auto race at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala., on Sunday.

Castroneves tops field in first GP of Alabama

By John Zenor The Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Helio Castroneves held off Scott Dixon to win the inaugural Indy Grand Prix of Alabama on Sunday, coasting to the finish line after coming off caution with two laps to go.

The three-time Indianapolis 500 winner took over in the stretch run when Marco Andretti headed to pit road with seven laps to go. Castroneves treated the new IndyCar venue to his “Spiderman” move, climbing a chain link fence in front of the grandstands and pumping his fists to the fans.

Castroneves won by just over half a second over Dixon and nobody else was closer than 7 seconds to the lead, making it a two-man chase at the end. He didn’t offer any opening for Dixon to get by him on a narrow track that offers few easy spots to pass and makes fuel strategy as important as any daring on-track maneuvers.

“He was driving more patient and reminded me of his father, Michael Andretti,” Castroneves

said. “When I was behind him, I was saving fuel. We were able to actually go a little further.”

Dario Franchitti was third. Will Power had won the first two races and was dominant in qualifying and practice but had to settle for fourth, still comfortably hanging onto his points lead. He came in with a 44-point lead; Castroneves made a 50-point jump to move into second place, ahead of Franchitti, Justin Wilson and Dixon.

Power pitted first while Castroneves waited. His patience paid off late as well.

“The only way to stop Power was trying to do something different,” he said. “Today was an opportunity to do that, and it worked out perfectly.”

Added Dixon: “We were of the notion that whatever Will was going to do, we were going to do the opposite.”

The race marked the first time since Indy Racing League was formed in 1996 that every driver who started the race was still running at the finish.

It was another big day for Penske Racing even with Power fail-

ing to become the first driver to win the opening three IndyCar races. Castroneves, Power and Ryan Briscoe made up half the top six. Danica Patrick continued to struggle, finishing 19th — right where she started.

Castroneves had plenty to celebrate, winning for the third time since returning to the car from his acquittal on tax charges last year.

It was the 17th career victory for the charismatic Brazilian and former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant.

Spectators lined the trackside hills for the first IndyCar event in a state long dominated by NASCAR races at Talladega about 20 minutes down Interstate 20. The 7-year-old track, initially built for motorcycle races, drew praise from drivers for the scenery but also the assessment that the narrow layout would provide scant opportunities to pass without risky moves.

It proved true in a race with no significant mishaps. Both cautions, totaling five laps, came because of mechanical troubles, not dustups.

Phoenix is satisfying for Newman after drought The Associated Press

AVONDALE, Ariz. — The victories used to come often and seemingly so easy for Ryan Newman. A long time ago.

So when Newman finally made it back to Victory Lane, a surprising triumph in the desert to end a 77-race Sprint Cup winless drought and get his first win driving for Tony Stewart, it was that much more satisfying.

“It was tough last year, I’m not going to kid you, when I come to a new organization and it’s the same organization for Tony Stewart and he won all those races,” Newman said.

“We knew what we needed to do to make our team better. And I feel that we’ve done that.

We proved that.”

A late caution flag Saturday night was the only thing that kept Kyle Busch from a weekend sweep at Phoenix International Raceway. That also provided the opening for Newman, who beat Jeff Gordon in a two-lap shootout to win for the first time since the 2008 Daytona 500, and only the second time in five seasons.

“This is the most emotional victory I’ve ever had in my entire career just because it’s been so long,” Newman said during the postrace celebration, where Stewart was one of the first people to congratulate him.

But when Gordon spun his tires on the restart, Newman shot ahead on the inside lane and stayed in front. Gordon was among those who congratulated Newman after the race.

“It’s been a long time since he’s won, and I

Ryan Newman and his wife, Krissie, celebrate after Newman won the NASCAR Subway Fresh Fit 600 auto race Saturday. know that meant a lot to him and that team,” Gordon said. “He told me it was a great restart.

And he said, ‘Yeah, I finally got a good one.’ ” After beginning his Cup career with Roger Penske, a 7½-season span front-loaded with success, Newman got into the No. 39 car for the new Stewart-Haas team last year. He had 15 top-10 finishes and made the Chase for the upstart team, but didn’t win a race.

That finally changed Saturday night.

“The emotional part is when I first started in the series, it just came easy,” Newman said. “I was with a great team, had a great crew chief, great pit stops. All those things

just kind of came easy to me.”

Newman had two top-10 finishes and a pole when he drove seven races for Penske in 2001.

Then in his first full season, Newman set a rookie record with 22 top-10 finishes, finished sixth in points and topped Johnson for 2002 rookie of the year honors. He led the series in wins (eight) and poles (11) in 2003, then solidified his qualifying nickname of “Rocketman” with the most poles in each of the next two seasons.

But Newman won only twice in 2004 and once in 2005. Then he waited three more years before his next — and last — victory for Penske.

“As it got toward 2005, I got to struggling a little bit. I got a win here or there, but it was not dominant like we were back in 2002 and 2003,” Newman said. “And to come to this new organization and achieve the things that we did was great last year. But, as I said all year long, I wanted to get that first victory for our team and for No. 39.”

Newman moved up six spots to 16th in points after his second consecutive top-five finish that continued an upward trend. After starting the season with an accident at Daytona and engine problems at California to finish 34th and 36th, he has improved each race since — 18th, 17th, 16th, fourth and now first.

“It was a long time coming for me personally, 77 races,” Newman said. “But to see Tony Stewart win so many races last year and be so close but not get that victory, this is really awesome for us and our team.”

HIGH GEAR: NASCAR

By Stephen Hawkins

Continued from D1 “It’s never been the same course twice,” said Meissner.

“The 30K is supposed to be 18.6 (miles), but this year it was 20.3 miles. And the 60K is supposed to be 37.3 (miles), and this year it was 36.5. One was a little more, one was a little less — even each other out.”

Meissner added that the eighth annual event drew 320 participants and raised $6,000 for the Sisters High School cross-country running team.

Darla Askew, 37, of Bend, and a running partner of Nordell, took second in a time of 5:09:42.

Seattle’s Ellen Parker was the third-place female finisher in the 60K (5:18:43).

The men’s 60K winner, Yassine Diboun, had a similarly skewed perception of the 60K race with a net elevation gain of nearly 3,000 feet.

“This was a relatively flat course,” said the 31-year-old Portland man, who clocked in at 4:15:16. Diboun added that he plans to compete in the Bighorn Mountain Wild and Scenic Trail Run in Wyoming, his thirdever 100-mile running race this June.

“With the sport of trail running and ultrarunning,” noted Diboun, “it’s not about the fastest time. It’s not about placement. It’s about you and the course. … It’s about putting one foot in front of the other.”

Men’s runner-up Jeff Browning, 38, of Bend, sang the same tune: “This course is pretty flat for a trail ultra.”

Browning finished in 4:37:28.

“It’s rolling for an ultra. … It’s all runnable. So you have to run everything.”

For most ultrarunners, 100 miles is a race distance that is not unheard of. That is THE distance to work toward. In fact,

some even compete in an average of one or two 100-milers annually, according to Meissner.

Third male overall in the Peterson Ridge 60K was Trevor Hostetler, 37, of Hillsboro, clocking in at 4:40:38.

In the 30K, the top male and female finishers considered the distance to be a long one, although both excel in shorter races.

Bend’s Lisa Nye, 41, cruised across the finish line in a winning time of 2:31:31.

“This is much more than my distance,” said Nye, who is known for winning local 5K running races. “I’m not making a habit of this distance, it’s too far for me. But this is a great event and I like to push myself to the limit to support this race.

“I’m a 5K runner,” she added with a big laugh. “I like to run a sixth of this and I’m good.”

Surprisingly, men’s 30K winner, Brookman Holmes, said his usual event is the 1,500-meter run.

“I wouldn’t have entered if I didn’t think I could win the $100,” said Holmes, 22, of Portland (2:17:51). “That’s the only reason I entered.”

Runners-up were Kristen Riley, 36, of Bend, finishing in a time of 2:36:13, and Josh Nordell, 32, of Sisters, in 2:19:20. Nordell is the husband of the women’s 60K winner, Ashley Nordell.

Bend’s Jenny Ruiter, 31, took third with a time of 2:42:04.

Men’s third-place finisher was Mark Peterson, 41, of Roseburg (2:20:45).

“It’s low-key,” says Meissner of the Peterson Ridge Rumble.

“The trail (running) and ultrarunning community in general is just a laid-back group. That’s what I love about it. That’s why I do it.”

Runners make their way down the trail during the Peterson Ridge Rumble 60-kilometer race near Sisters Middle School in Sisters on Sunday morning.

Ellsbury Continued from D1 Ellsbury remained on the grass for several minutes and said afterward he is not sure if he will be able to play today at Minnesota.

“I guess (it will be) pain tolerance,” he said. “I know it’s going to be really sore tomorrow.”

Before he was injured, Ellsbury was two for five at the plate Sunday with a double and two runs scored. With his third consecutive multiple-hit game, he raised his batting average for the season to .333.

Dustin Pedroia collected four hits, including a home run, for Boston.

Jose Guillen homered twice and drove in four runs for the Royals. Kansas City pitcher Gil Meche lasted just 3 1⁄3 innings in his first start after being sidelined by a stiff shoulder.

Guillen led off the second inning with a drive to center and hit a three-run shot off Ramon Ramirez in the eighth to get Kansas City within two runs.

Ramirez failed to retire any of the three hitters he faced.

Red Sox relievers Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon combined for the final six outs.
