Only a few hours remain until your tax return must be postmarked or filed electronically.

The Internal Revenue Service still recommends filing electronically if possible, because returns will be processed more quickly.

Errors can be caught and corrected in a more timely manner, as well, said Richard Panick, an IRS spokesman.

If you must send your tax papers in the old-fashioned way, they must be postmarked by the end of today.

Luckily for procrastinators, the main branch of the Bend post office, April on Northeast Fourth Street, is acceptThursday ing mail until midnight, said Postmaster Nate Leigh. Just after midnight, an employee will collect any remaining mail and postmark it with today’s date, he said.

The H&R Block on Northeast Third Street in Bend isn’t expecting a large crowd today, said Sheila Wilton, a licensed tax consultant, adding that the big rush occurs the few days before the tax deadline. She said there will likely be staff in the office filing customers’ returns until midnight, though.

For last-minute filers, make sure you doublecheck all of your facts and figures, Panick said in a news release. Incorrect information can delay or reduce returns. Also, anyone who owes money and plans to file for an extension still must include an estimated payment or the amount paid on last year’s taxes, Panick said.

If you don’t include a payment, the penalty is 5 percent interest on the amount you owe per month, up to 25 percent, he said. If you make a payment but it doesn’t cover everything you owe, the penalty on what you haven’t paid is one-half of 1 percent.

“If they know they’re going to have a balance due, they want to make sure they file the return if they can,” Panick said.

As of April 2, almost 80 percent of people who have turned in tax returns nationally — or about 71.6 million people — have filed electronically, Panick said.

Central Oregon Community College has inked a deal with William Smith Properties to develop much of its unused land on Bend’s west side over the next decade.

The agreement, slated to last from five to 50 years, will allow Bill Smith, whose company developed the Old Mill District, to work with COCC to develop the 40-acre mixed-use parcel at the northeast corner of Mt. Washington Drive and Shevlin Park Road and the 15-acre parcel to the south

of that intersection. On Wednesday, COCC’s board unanimously approved the agreement.

“This is a big thing,” COCC President Jim Middleton said.

“This is more than just a standard partnership deal. ... This is a sense of trying to do something for the future of students.”

Last summer, COCC got approval from the city of Bend to create a special planning district, similar to the Old Mill District and NorthWest Crossing, which allows a variety of development to take place on the land near Mt. Washington Drive and Shevlin

Park Road.

By building on the property, COCC hopes to make money at a time when state funding for community colleges is drying up.

The land will remain in COCC’s hands; William Smith Properties, as master developer, will lease the land and either build on it or get a tenant to construct a building on the land. COCC reserves the right to build on any of the land if it needs a building, or when a lease runs out, the college could purchase a building for its own uses.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — As the plane began its descent into Port-au-Prince, Luc Bouquet looked out the window at the rusted rippled-tin roofs and tarps below, a tattered quilt covering the city’s lumpy knees and ankles. At

ground level, Bouquet knew there was no comfort for the millions of bereft Haitians living in tents, shacks and makeshift shelters.

Missi Barrett knows exactly how much time is left until her husband will step off a bus in Bend, stand at attention for a ceremony marking the end of his deployment to Iraq and finally search out his family in the crowd and hug them for the first time in six months.

She’s been counting down the days and hours since her husband deployed with the Oregon National Guard’s 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team last spring. And on Wednesday morning, she hit a major milestone: double digits.

“It’s 98 hours,” she said. “I’ve been counting down since he left, so when it starts out at thousands of hours, 98 hours sounds really good.”

On Sunday, Lt. David Barrett will be one of more than 300 soldiers with the 41st Brigade’s 1st Squadron, 82nd Cavalry, who will arrive in Bend for a ceremony at Vince Genna Stadium.

After about a week at Ft. Lewis, in Washington, it will be the first of four demobilization events across the state as the Oregon Guard’s largest deployment since World War II — involving about 2,700 soldiers — comes to an end.

In Central Oregon, which is home to about 110 soldiers with the Bend unit and a handful of others who serve with other Oregon units, families, employers and service providers are gearing up for the troops’ homecoming. They’re painting homemade signs, making travel plans and preparing to help the soldiers transition back into their civilian jobs and lives.

U.S. abandons outpost in Afghan ‘Valley of Death’

By Alissa J. Rubin New York Times News Service

KORENGAL OUTPOST, Afghanistan — The last American soldier left here Wednesday, abandoning a base surrounded by tall cedar trees and high

mountains, in a place that came to be called the “Valley of Death.”

The near daily battles here were won, but almost always at the cost of wounded or dead. And there were never enough soldiers to crush the insurgency.

The Bulletin An Independent Newspaper

Vol. 107, No. 105, 42 pages, 7 sections

Closing Korengal Outpost, a powerful symbol of some of the Afghan war’s most ferocious fights, is a tacit admission that putting the base there in the first place was a costly mistake.

Playing the waiting game In an uncertain economy, more incoming college freshmen are finding themselves in waiting-list limbo

Recently accepted students register for “Blue Devil Days” at Duke University in Durham, N.C., last week. In response to the higher number of applicants, some Ivy League and similarly selective colleges have accepted fewer students and placed more on waiting lists.

By Jacques Steinberg New York Times News Service

DURHAM, N.C. — Ashley Koski, ranked third in the senior class at Thomas Dale High School in Chester, Va., has wanted to attend Duke University since she was 12.

Late last month, she learned that Duke had neither accepted nor rejected her: It had offered her a spot on the waiting list — along with 3,382 other applicants. That’s almost twice the size of the entire incoming freshman class.

“I kind of just went quiet the rest of the day,” said Koski. “I’d rather have a yes or no. I can’t make plans and be excited like the rest of my friends.”

Duke, which had a record 27,000 freshman applicants, placed 856 more on its waiting list than a year ago. The reasons include the uncertain economy, making it hard for Duke to estimate how many of the 4,000 it already accepted will say yes.

If Duke’s best guess holds, no more than 60 will be admitted through the narrow gate of what is essentially a giant holding pen.

Other schools are hedging their bets this spring. Most Ivy League colleges saw sharp jumps in applications, as did similarly selective colleges like the University of Chicago, Northwestern, Stanford and MIT Many students are hedging bets of their own, and submitting more applications — in some instances 15 or more.

Supply and demand Admissions are a complicated dance of supply and demand for colleges. And this spring, many institutions accepted fewer applicants, and placed more on waiting lists, until it becomes clear over the next few weeks how many spots remain.

MIT, which had a 6 percent increase in applicants, increased its waiting list by more than half, to 722. Last year, it accepted fewer than 80 from that list. Yale, which had a slight dip in applications this year yet still admitted fewer than 8 percent of applicants,

“I have no idea what I’m going to need to finish sculpting the class ... it’s important that I have some flexibility (that the waiting list provides).”

— Christoph Guttentag, Duke University’s dean of undergraduate admissions, shown at left talking to a recently accepted student and her mother

placed nearly 1,000 others on its waiting list, an increase of nearly 150 . Dartmouth increased its list by about 80, to 1,740.

No selective college, though — at least none that makes its figures public — has placed as many applicants in a holding pattern this spring as Duke, which has seen applications surge by 30 percent over the last two years.

And those applications were filed long before its men’s basketball team won this year’s national collegiate championship, a victory that could prompt more students to say yes to Duke’s offer of admission, and thus leave

fewer slots for those in waiting.

In an interview on a recent morning on Duke’s Gothic-style campus, which was mostly built in the 1930s but looks centuries older, Christoph Guttentag, the dean of undergraduate admissions, likened his task to that of a sculptor finishing a work of art — and the waiting list to his last palette of materials.

“I have no idea what I’m going to need to finish sculpting the class,” he said, his voice echoing off walls of native, knotty pine.

“From an institutional perspective, it’s important that I have some flexibility.”

Rounding out the class Like its competitors, Duke does not rank students on its waiting list. Instead, decisions about who will rise to the top are often a function of what the admissions office perceives as deficiencies in the next freshman class.

There might be, for example, a surplus of aspiring engineers and not enough potential English majors, or too few students from Florida. Or there might be an unexpected shortage of oboe players.

While Guttentag encourages students on the waiting list to

send him a one-page letter — or a video of 60 seconds or less — letting him know how strongly they wish to attend and why, they can do little to improve their chances.

“The student can’t know, ‘Gee, did all the violinists decide to turn us down?’” he said. “They can’t affect this very much at this point.”

Since waiting list offers went out in late March, Guttentag and his colleagues have been deliberating whether to end the suspense for at least several hundred on it — those who probably have little hope of coming off.

Another reason the list is so long this year, he said, was that he and his colleagues had been so overwhelmed by the volume of applicants that they had run out of time.

“What we could have done, had we had another week,” he said, “was to look at everybody on the waiting list and say, do they all need to be on?’

“Of all the priorities,” he added, “that was not in the top 2 or 3.”

If there is a risk for Duke, it is that the university may decide later that it wishes to admit an applicant who, in the interim, has set sail for other shores.

Koski, the only daughter of a single mother, said she was still eager to attend Duke if selected; if not, she said she would probably say yes to an offer of acceptance from the University of Virginia.

Cloudy, with a higher chance of enrolling Weather influences prospective college students’ admissions decisions, study finds

By Jenna Johnson The Washington Post

Glossy brochures have a way of making college campuses look absolutely idyllic: Picture-perfect sunny days! Students sporting iPods walking to and from class across lush green lawns!

Classrooms filled with attractive, laughing, diverse, well-dressed students!

But a picture-perfect day might not be the best day to visit some campuses, according to a new study by a University of Pennsylvania assistant professor.

The best weather? Overcast and cloudy.

Uri Simonsohn of Penn’s Wharton School analyzed weather patterns and the enrollment decisions of 1,284 prospective students who visited an unnamed university “known for its academic strengths and recreational weaknesses.”

He found that for each standard increase in cloud cover on the day a student visited, the chances of him or her enrolling increased by 9 percentage points.

Simonsohn’s study, titled “Weather to Go to College,” was published in the March edition of The Economic Journal.

“When you think about it, it kind of makes sense,” Simonsohn told the Times Higher Education in London. “To some extent, you do feel less guilty if you are working hard if it is not appealing to be outdoors. If it is cloudy and raining outside, you don’t mind reading. If it is beautiful and sunny, you feel like you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing with your time.”

The Daily Penn discussed the pro-cloud findings with the university’s dean of admissions, Eric Furda, who said the study was “counterintuitive.” And there are no plans to change university tours, Furda told the student newspaper.

Simonsohn has been studying weather patterns and college admissions for years. In 2007, he published a paper in the “Journal of Behavioral Decision Making,” titled “Clouds Make Nerds Look Good: Field Evidence of the Influence of Incidental Factors on Decision Making.”

The study found that on cloudy days, admissions staff were more likely to focus on an applicant’s academic credentials than their non-academic ones.

T S Time-honored tradition for taxpayers: Filing at the last minute

By Nirvi Shah McClatchy-Tribune News Service

MIAMI — Despite e-filing, 24-hour tax prep centers, easyto-use computer programs and the lure of refunds, the IRS expects hundreds of thousands of people to file their tax returns barely before today’s deadline.

The reason: Americans find the annual ritual only slightly more bearable than attending a funeral, a new survey shows.

The survey, by Allianz Life Insurance Company, found that even though the majority of those asked expected to get a refund, they’d just as soon not bother with 1040s, Schedule Cs and the like.

Many tax preparation companies, including some H&R Block locations will accept clients late into the evening tonight.

If all else fails, would-be taxpayers can file an extension and minimize any tax penalties by wrapping up their returns Friday, said Kerry Meister-Miller, an H&R Block district manager who is accustomed to a crush of last-minute filers.

“They’re busy,” she said.

“Life is happening.”

Rod Blair, 65, went to a Jackson Hewitt Tax Service office in Cutler Bay, Fla., on Tuesday to see if he could make an appointment for today. He will be paying taxes this year, and waiting until April 15 means the charges won’t show up on his credit card bill until next month’s statement.

“I do everything at the last minute,” Blair said, then turned to the office staff.

“Don’t lock the door on me.”

Things to watch for For some people, Tax Day will breeze by painlessly, however. According to the Washington, D.C.-based Tax Policy Institute, 47 percent of people filing taxes as individuals won’t pay anything at all because refunds and credits wiped out their tax liability.

This is higher than in the past because of federal stimulus laws passed in the last few years.

But even those lucky folks must file returns to get the good news.

IRS spokesman Mike Dobzinski said even if you are in a rush to file, don’t let an error slip into your return. It could cost you part of an expected refund, delay the arrival of your cash or worse: The misstep could lead you to believe you owe more than you do.

He said some of the most common errors are entering incorrect Social Security numbers, putting withholding and estimated tax payments on the wrong lines of the form and misfiguring these numbers in the first place. As always, basic math mistakes — with adding and subtracting — are typical too, he said.

Another quirk mucking up some of this year’s returns: the Making Work Pay Credit.

Everyone who claims the credit — including people who already received the money in small amounts as a part of their wages — needs to file a new form to get it, a Schedule M. Some people aren’t claiming it at all, however. Small-business owners or self-employed workers may not have benefited. Most tax software programs take care of the form for users, Dobzinski said, and may not mention its name.

Another twist this year: Those claiming the first-time homebuyer tax credit must file paper returns.

“I do everything at the last minute.”

CHINA EARTHQUAKE

Rescuers race against time to dig out quake survivors 85 percent of buildings in Jiegu township reduced to rubble, local officials estimate

By Warren P. Strobel McClatchy-Tribune News Service

By Anita Chang The Associated Press

XINING, China — Rescuers combed through the rubble of collapsed buildings for survivors today, more than a day after strong earthquakes shook a mountainous Tibetan region of China, killing nearly 600 people and injuring thousands.

The series of quakes flattened buildings across remote western Yushu county and sent survivors flooding into the streets of Jiegu township. State television showed block after devastated block of toppled mud and wood homes.

Local officials said 85 percent of the buildings had been destroyed.

Residents and troops garrisoned in the town used shovels and their hands to pull survivors and bodies from the rubble much of the day Wednesday. Several schools collapsed, with the state news agency saying at least 56 students died. Worst hit was the Yushu Vocational School, where the officials Xinhua News Agency cited a local education official as saying 22 students, 20 of them girls, died.

State broadcaster CCTV showed footage of rescuers working at night, picking through the rubble aided by torchlights fixed to their safety helmets. A group of workers found a girl trapped for more than 12 hours under a heap of debris.

Whale meat from Japan’s ‘scientific’ hunt turns up in restaurants OSU scientists help with DNA analysis of meat sold in L.A., Seoul

By Blaine Harden The Washington Post

TOKYO — Meat from whales killed as part of Japan’s “scientific” hunt was served last year in upscale sushi restaurants in Los Angeles and Seoul, according to a DNA analysis published Wednesday.

A global ban on whaling was imposed 14 years ago, but Japan has courted controversy for years by invoking an exception in the ban for scientific research and by dispatching a whaling fleet that harpoons several hundred whales a year. The fleet brings home thousands of tons of whale meat that are sold across Japan, but which cannot legally be sold to buyers in the U.S. or South Korea.

In what may prove to be a major embarrassment to the Japanese government, the peer-reviewed DNA analysis suggests that distribution of whale meat may be haphazardly managed and could be flowing into an international smuggling network.

The analysis showed that two pieces of whale meat sold last October in a Los Angeles area restaurant called The Hump were “identical” to whale products purchased in Japan in 2007 and 2008, according to a paper written by an 11-member group of scientists and conservationists from the United States, South Korea and Japan.

The authors said the meat came from a sei whale killed in the North Pacific during a Japanese scientific hunt. In Los Angeles last month, The Hump apologized after federal prosecutors charged

Iran at least 3 years away from nuclear bomb, U.S. officials say

U.S. leads a bid to phase out hunting The United States is leading an effort by a handful of antiwhaling nations to broker an agreement that would limit and ultimately end whale hunting by Japan, Norway and Iceland, according to people involved with the negotiations.

The compromise deal would allow the three whaling countries to continue hunting whales for the next 10 years, although in reduced numbers. In exchange, the whaling nations would agree to stricter monitoring of their operations, including the placing of tracking devices and international monitors on all whaling ships.

— New York Times News Service its owner and principal chef with the illegal sale of a marine mammal product.

The DNA analysis also matched fin whale meat served last year in a Seoul restaurant to fin whale products sold in Japan. Japan killed 13 fin whales between 2005 and 2008, and it is “highly likely” the meat purchased in South Korea and Japan came from the same whale, according to the paper, which appeared online in the journal Biology Letters, published by the London-based Royal Society.

The authors include scientists from Oregon State University and the National Marine Fisheries Service.

WASHINGTON — Iran could have enough highly enriched uranium to make a single nuclear device within a year, but it would take three to five years before the Islamic republic could manufacture a usable nuclear weapon, senior military officials told Congress on Wednesday.

The timeline, which is consistent with past U.S. government estimates of Iran’s nuclear progress, suggests that there still may be a window for diplomatic and economic pressure to dissuade Tehran from becoming a nuclear power.

Marine Gen. James Cartwright, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that “it would take another two to three, potentially out to five years, (for Iran) to move from the idea of having the material to a deliverable weapon that is usable.”

Other officials, who spoke only the condition of anonymity because the intelligence is classified, said his comments reflect the findings of a soonto-be-updated National Intelligence Estimate on Iran’s nuclear program, the first in nearly three years.

Haiti

COCC

Continued from A1 He felt he had been called to dedicate the rest of his life to serving his fellow Haitians.

He was not a rich man, but with God’s help he planned to build an orphanage, a church and, in time, a nursing school.

His wife of nearly 25 years, Phenide, and their three children were proud of his selfsacrifice, but he was also needed back home. Bouquet had to choose. And because he was not a man to do anything halfway, either path he followed would mean turning his back on people he loved.

He had awoken this morning in a warm bed next to Phenide and would be sleeping this evening in a tent set on cinder blocks in a friend’s mosquito-infested yard, where scavenging dogs tear through trash after dark and roosters deliver their wake-up calls hours before dawn.

The physical hardship, Bouquet says, doesn’t bother him.

Compared with most Haitians, he is living in luxury.

Still, he says, “It’s always hard the first day back. You’ve left your family. It’s kind of sad.”

Continued from A1 How much the college stands to make depends on how much land William Smith Properties leases for each project. When the company enters into a land lease with COCC, the college will receive money from that lease. When William Smith Properties leases space to tenants, that rent will be used to pay back to COCC and William Smith Properties any infrastructure costs like sewer lines or sidewalks. Once those costs are repaid, the rent will be split equally between the college and the company, minus the company’s management fee.

“Tomorrow I’ve got a string of phone calls to make to prospects,” Smith said Wednesday night.

“Hopefully we’ll be able to very quickly have some additional activity down there (in the Campus Village area).”

The area to be developed includes a 40-acre lot adjacent to COCC’s campus, as well as two smaller lots, one 12 acres and another 3 acres, across Shevlin Park Road from the main campus area.

The 40-acre area will likely feature a combination of retail and residential properties, with restaurants, parks and shopping. It will also feature, as its first building, the college’s new culinary center.

The 3-acre lot will likely be developed into multi-family homes; the 12-acre property will probably include single-family homes, as well as a possible small commercial area.

There are benchmarks built into the contract that William Smith Properties must meet, detailing the order in which the areas will be developed.

In the first phase of the project, 15 acres in the Campus Village area will be developed. That area will include the new culinary institute, and is expected to be built out by the close of 2019.

The remaining 25 acres of the Campus Village are slated to have a development plan in place by the end of 2013, with development starting by the end of 2015.

As for the 12-acre lot slated to include single-family homes and perhaps a small commercial area, planning should begin by the end of 2011, and the property will begin development within three years. The residential portion is slated to be finished before 2020, with the commercial portion to be developed as the market allows.

And Smith’s company will have a development plan in place for the 3-acre lot, marked for multifamily residences, by the end of 2012 and construction on at least half the units is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2015.

Should those benchmark dates become problematic, the college and William Smith Properties can renegotiate new timing.

“Truly I do believe now is the time to act,” Middleton said.

“We’re planting the seed, and we’ll harvest it when we need it in the future. ... It will take time for this to grow but if we don’t plant the seed now we won’t have the growth to harvest.”

Life and death in the streets A friend has come to meet him. Bouquet climbs into the pickup truck and they begin the long, frustrating slog out of the airport, stuttering through traffic among honking drivers for whom the rules of the road are more conceptual than binding. A child jumps onto the side of the vehicle, clinging to the side-view mirror.

He tilts his head and holds out one hand.

“I don’t have any money,” Bouquet tells him in Creole.

He does not want to encourage begging. This is why he wants to start a school, he says. “If you can move them away from Port-au-Prince when they’re young, you may have a chance to teach them.”

The pickup crosses a bridge damaged during the earthquake. Bouquet doubts that it has been properly reinforced.

“I don’t want to get stuck here,” he says nervously, but the structure holds.

On the road toward Lilavois 38, a neighborhood on the outskirts of the city, they pass scores of crumpled houses and shops untouched since the day now known simply as the dezas, the disaster. Broken columns dangle like stalactites from tilted roofs.

But life has returned to the streets. Merchants seated under brightly colored umbrellas line both sides of the dusty streets, chiseling chunks off melting blocks of ice, arranging pyramids of tinned milk, soap and canned mackerel.

On aluminum trays and worn straw mats, they lay out neat rows of okra and tomatoes and mangoes and avocados. At intersections, young men hawk cell phone rechargers draped limply, like snakes, over their forearms.

Luc Bouquet, 52, left, a nurse practitioner from Palm Bay, Fla., examines patient Nazaire Ones at St. Francois de Sales in Port-auPrince, Haiti, last month. Bouquet, who was born in Haiti, has returned to continue helping earthquake victims.

In the road outside a market, the pickup veers around a dead man. Someone has encircled his body with rocks to keep traffic from running over him. From the blood staining his polo shirt, Bouquet guesses he was a thief.

Violence is on the rise.

During February, 50 people were shot to death in the capital, the local newspaper reports, and 57 during the first two weeks of March.

Along the route, Bouquet and his friend are passed by armored vehicles and buses carrying U.N. soldiers, SUVs emblazoned with aid-organization logos and truck after truck carrying debris out of the city.

Teams of workers, their faces powdered with limestone, have been hired to put rubble into wheelbarrows and sweep the streets. Bouquet sniffs. “All they do is push the dirt around. They go as slowly as they can so they can get paid for more hours,” he says. The cynicism seems at odds with his national pride.

From Haiti to Florida, and back again Bouquet credits God for delivering him from a brutal childhood of caustic poverty and pitiless neglect. He met Phenide, who is also a nurse, when they were in their 20s, working with a youth group in church. In 1991, when their son, Ralph, was a toddler, they moved to the United States to escape the violence after a military coup.

In Florida, the couple built an enviable life, established their careers and raised three highachieving children. Ralph, a Harvard University graduate, is earning a master’s degree at the University of Pennsylvania while

Rain multiplies woes of squatters in Rio

By Alexei Barrionuevo New York Times News Service

RIO DE JANEIRO — The incessant rain that killed at least 251 people last week has raised lingering questions about this Olympic city’s emergency readiness and revived a long-dormant debate over the poor squatter communities that have sprung up in areas at risk of flooding and landslides.

One of the worst storms in 40 years hit Rio last week, overflowing the banks of the Lagoon, crippling public transportation and sending dozens of homes built atop an old garbage dump crashing down a hillside in a neighboring city.

Sergio Cabral, the governor of Rio state, announced over the weekend that the state would spend more than $570 million to build 10,000 new homes for people at risk of floods or mudslides.

Eduardo Paes, Rio’s mayor, said the city would immediately remove about 4,000 families from eight slums in high-risk areas and give them a monthly stipend to help them relocate.

“For the first time in more than four decades, there is the beginning of a long-overdue debate on the future of squatters,” said Amaury de Souza, a

political analyst in Rio. He said for years, politicians had tacitly approved of impromptu settlements as a solution to housing shortages but the recent rains had forced a new perspective.

Paulo Etchichury, a meteorologist at Southern Marine Weather Services in Sao Paulo, said, “The disorganized growth of the city begins to expose us to the dangers that natural disasters can cause.”

Rain has become a problem in the southern half of South America this year because of El Niño’s warming of Atlantic waters, meteorologists said. And research shows that rain has become more frequent and more intense in southeastern Brazil over the past 50 years, said David Easterling, chief of the scientific services division for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. In Rio, the initial storms, which led to deadly flash floods, seemed to catch emergency workers off-guard. Weather experts said that was because Rio, the site of the 2016 Olympic Games, suffers from a lack of both short- and long-term weather monitoring and forecasting equipment.

“I don’t want to stop him, because he’s doing what he wants to do. What the Lord wants him to do. And he’s doing good work. But I miss him.”

— Phenide Bouquet, on her husband Luc’s self-appointed mission to Haiti he teaches at a Philadelphia high school with Teach for America.

Jennica, 20, is a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University. Joan (pronounced Jo-ann), 17, is an A student.

When the earthquake struck Port-au-Prince on Jan. 12, Bouquet was safe at his home in Palm Bay, Fla., a placid residential town of yes-sir manners and church-on-Sunday neighbors.

Five days later, he was in Haiti, tending to babies with fractured skulls, men with infected wounds, women with broken limbs. In the weeks that followed, he found himself straddling his own shifting tectonic plates.

On March 18, when he walked back in the door, Phenide was shocked. Her normally stocky husband had dropped 20 pounds.

“And he was exhausted,” she said.

Phenide said she prayed for her husband. “I don’t want to stop him, because he’s doing what he wants to do. What the Lord wants him to do. And he’s doing good work. But I miss him.”

A man on a mission Only the lucky and the brave in Port-au-Prince are still living under a solid roof. With hundreds of aftershocks sending shivers through the city, nearly everyone seems to sleep outside in tents or shelters made of bedsheets tied to wooden poles.

Troops Continued from A1 For families, the lead-up to the soldiers’ return is a busy, often unpredictable time. Until just a few days ago, family members and the soldiers themselves weren’t sure exactly when they’d be back in Oregon.

“It was quite frustrating in the beginning,” said Tia Dougall, of Redmond, who is married to Staff Sgt. Dan Dougall. “I know my husband’s route and obligations changed six times before he left Iraq.”

This week, Dougall said she’s busy getting the house ready for her husband’s return. She’s also ordered sweatshirts for her children to wear at Sunday’s ceremony that read: “Proud Son of Staff Sgt. Dan Dougall.”

Adena Glassow, who lives near Sunriver, said she and her 2-yearold daughter and 4-year-old son have been keeping close watch on their calendar as they prepare for the return of her husband, Cpl. Marcus Glassow.

“My son already told him a list of things to do,” she said. “He says, ‘When daddy gets home, we’re going to go fishing and go to the movie theater.’”

Several families said they’re planning to take it easy for a few weeks after the soldiers come back, either by relaxing at home or taking a family vacation.

The soldiers are expected to report to the armory the day after the ceremony, but most will have a month or two off before they are

Bouquet, believing the house he owns in Delmas 33 was securely built, had stayed there with his deaf sister-in-law, Esther, and his nephew, Emmanuel, until late February, when he awoke at 1 a.m. and watched the ceiling rumbling for 23 seconds. “I said: ‘That’s it. This isn’t safe.’”

A friend who has a house in Lilavois and had sent his wife and children to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for at least the rest of the school year invited Bouquet to set up a tent on his property.

In early March, he was joined by three members of the Churches of Christ Disaster Response Team (DRT), who are building toilets and showers and a security wall on a site where Bouquet preaches twice a week, conducts a walk-in clinic, and plans to set up an emergency tent city.

“He’s a very wise man,” says Mark Cremeans, the 53-year-old director of the DRT, “and he’s going to do whatever he sets out to do.”

Church members have shipped a container full of medicines, tents and emergency supplies, and are providing volunteers to work with Bouquet for the next few months.

“I don’t know when our deadline is,” Cremeans says, wiping his forehead. Behind him, on an open concrete patio beneath a damaged roof, Bouquet is seeing dozens of patients.

The medical emergency has al-

ready passed. Now those he sees merely suffer the symptoms of poverty that the earthquake has exacerbated — anemia, dehydration, late-stage cancer that has gone undetected, skin diseases, intestinal parasites.

People have donated money to help victims of the earthquake, Cremeans explains, and “at some point, this will no longer be disaster relief. It will be a mission.”

When that time comes, the group will have to withdraw.

Meeting the country’s challenges Long before the earthquake, literally hundreds of aid organizations with ties to U.S. churches had been working in Haiti. One of the issues world leaders discussed at a U.N. donors conference was the need for coordination among large groups and small nonprofits.

Those who have spent years working with Haiti’s poor view the eagerness of newcomers with caution.

“Everyone is well-intentioned, but many don’t know what they’re getting into in the end,” says Jan Weber, regional medical coordinator at an orphanage that has operated outside Port-auPrince for 22 years.

“This whole country is so challenging. I witness every day how difficult it is to provide food and proper health care for these children. You have to find welleducated teachers and child care workers, and the money to pay good salaries so they don’t leave after two weeks. You have to guarantee a certain standard.”

Bouquet insists he’s aware of the challenges. “You will see,” he says. “This is a step of the faith that I have in God.”

If you go Sunday’s demobilization ceremony for the Oregon National Guard’s 1st Squadron, 82nd Cavalry, of the 41st Infantry Brigade is open to the public and will be held at 1 p.m. at Vince Genna Stadium, at 401 S.E. Roosevelt St., in Bend. Buses carrying the soldiers from Ft. Lewis, Wash., are expected to pass through Sisters between 11:15 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. and through downtown Bend between 11:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Some residents are encouraging people to line the streets and show signs in support.

required to return to their regular training schedule, said Maj. Scot Caughran.

Once they get settled in at home, he said many of the troops will be looking for work.

“It’s a really big concern for us,” Caughran said. “A lot of people left their jobs in order to be able to deploy, and now we’re looking at over 50 percent of the soldiers coming back to no full-time work.”

Guard reaches out The Guard is organizing job fairs and reaching out to local employers to let them know soldiers will be looking for work.

Roy Morris, the disabled veterans’ outreach program specialist with the Oregon Employment Department, said he’s expecting his workload to jump over the next several months. A big part of the job, he said, is showing soldiers how to translate what they did and learned in a combat zone to people hiring for jobs in the civilian world.

“A lot of the soldiers, when they get back, they assume, they don’t have any transferable skills,” Mor-

ris said. “But we try to get them to think along the lines of what they did .... and help them realize they have marketable skills and outline those.”

For some new veterans, problems readjusting to family life or mental health issues can make finding and holding a job difficult.

Morris said he’s pleased the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is opening a facility in Bend that will offer counseling and other services.

“We don’t try to just address one barrier,” he said. “We’ve found that all the barriers they’re facing need to be addressed. They may have emotional problems, family problems, substance abuse ... If we can address all the barriers, and get them the support system they need, they stand a better chance.”

Caughran said the Guard will be following up with each soldier to make sure he or she is finding the right services, from counseling to scholarships for those who want to attend college. Each soldier will be required to attend “reintegration events” held one, two and three months after returning home.

Sheila G. Miller can be reached at 541-617-7831 or at smiller@bendbulletin.com.

“There’s almost a monthly event for the next several months that will allow them to come back together, talk about their deployment experiences,” he said.

Families will also be invited to the reintegration events, he said.

‘Just be supportive’ Charity Smith, whose husband, Staff Sgt. Tommy Smith, will be returning on Sunday, said the homecoming can be just as much of an adjustment for spouses and families as it is for the soldiers.

Smith has been through the process before, when her husband returned home from a previous deployment to Iraq in 2005.

She said it can take some time for spouses to adjust to not having to do everything alone.

“Just be supportive and patient, and just don’t let the little things bother you,” she said. “Look at the big picture, how nice it is having your spouse home, instead of nitpicking the little things.”

Barrett, who lives in Brownsville and will make the trip to Bend on Sunday to see her husband come home, said she’s thrilled — but dreading the thought of having to sit through the ceremony before she can be reunited.

“We have a 14-year-old son and this has been hard on him, having his dad gone,” she said. “We’ll give them time to be together, because that’s the most important thing — just being together.”

C OV ER S T ORY

Afghanistan Continued from A1 It is also part of an effort by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of forces here since last summer, to consolidate and refocus forces where they might change the momentum of what had become a losing contest.

Fighting for isolated mountain valleys like this one, even if they are hide-outs for clusters of Taliban, was no longer sustainable.

It did more to spawn insurgents than defeat them. Better to put those soldiers in cities and towns where they could protect people and help them connect to the Afghan government, he reasoned.

“There’s never a perfect answer,” McChrystal said as he visited this outpost on April 8 for a briefing as the withdrawal began. “I care deeply about everybody who has been hurt here, but I can’t do anything about it. I can do something about people who might be hurt in the future.

“The battle changes, the war changes,” he added. “If you don’t understand the dynamics, you have no chance of getting it right.

We’ve been slower here than I would have liked.”

A place of loss Forty-two Americans died fighting in the Korengal Valley, in Kunar Province, and hundreds were wounded, according to the military. Most died in the period from 2006 to 2009. Many Afghan soldiers died as well, and in larger numbers, since they had poorer equipment.

In a war characterized by small, brutal battles, the Korengal had more than its share, and its abandonment has left soldiers who fought there confronting confusion, anger and pain.

“It hurts,” said Spc. Robert Soto of Company B, First Battalion, 26th Infantry, who spent 12 months in the valley from 2008 to 2009. “It hurts on a level that — three units from the Army, we all did what we did up there.

And we all lost men. We all sacrificed. I was 18 years old when I got there. I really would not have expected to go through what we went through at that age.”

During the period Soto served there half of his platoon was wounded or killed, according to the unit’s commanding officer. “It confuses me, why it took so long for them to realize that we weren’t making progress up there,” Soto said.

Korengal Outpost was the third area of eastern Afghanistan where combat outposts closed: In 2007 and 2008 two posts and a smaller satellite base were closed in the Waygal Valley of Nuristan Province; in 2009 two posts were closed in the Kamdesh region of Nuristan. Along with the main Korengal outpost, five satellite bases closed; at least two, Restrepo and Vimoto, were named for soldiers who died there.

Perched on a steep hillside sprinkled with gnarled trees, Korengal Outpost is little more than a dozen structures made of stone and wood and is heavily sandbagged. It is a primitive-looking place built into the hillside, like

‘Were those sacrifices worth it?’

Christoph Bangert / New York Times News Service

American soldiers with the U.S. Army’s Third Platoon, Alpha Company, 2-12 Infantry Battalion, meet Wednesday with residents of the village of Mateen, near the Korangal Valley in Afghanistan, to discuss the American withdrawal from the region. the nearby villages. Farther down the valley tower the deodar cedars that the Korengalis cut down to make their living.

The vulnerability of these combat outposts was hardly surprising. Though sparsely populated, Kunar and Nuristan provinces have a long history of strident resistance to outsiders. Kunar was one of the first places to rise up against the Soviet occupation in the 1980s, giving the area the label of “cradle of jihad.”

Local resistance Much of the U.S. mission in the last couple of years has been to try to get the reclusive people who live here to recognize the Afghan government and work with it. In some places that approach is reaping modest results. Not so in the Korengal.

The Korengalis speak a language unrelated to Pashto or Dari, the two main Afghan tongues.

They practice a conservative brand of Islam and have repeat-

edly rebuffed American offers of aid.

The area remains under the influence of a Taliban shadow governor along with two Taliban leaders, Hajji Mateen and Nasrullah, who make their money from the valley’s lumber.

The sawmill and lumberyard run by Hajji Mateen was seized

by Marines to build the Korengal outpost in April 2006. The troops had set out to penetrate the sixmile-long valley, but never made it more than halfway.

There have been only two missions to the valley’s southern end since 2005, said Maj. Ukiah Senti, the executive officer of Second Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, Task Force Lethal, which oversees Korengal and neighboring areas. He said the antagonism from local Taliban and insurgents was so great that it would have taken a battalion-size force to make a foray there.

The Korengal Outpost was opened to root out Taliban fighters hiding deep in the mountains,

according to soldiers who fought there. Even before then, it was apparent that the valley’s inhabitants were hostile to outsiders.

In June 2005 a four-man Navy SEALs team was ambushed on a ridge above the valley; three members were killed, and a helicopter sent to rescue them was shot down, killing eight more members of the SEALs and eight other servicemen.

While there were Taliban in the valley and operatives of alQaida passed through, Korengal was not a major haven, said Maj. James Fussell, a former Army Special Forces soldier who spent nearly two years fighting here, from 2004 to 2005 and again from 2008 to 2009. He recently was coauthor of an analysis of the mission in Kunar and Nuristan for the Institute for the Study of War. “Occasionally a Taliban or alQaida member was transiting through that location, but the Korengalis were by no means part of the insurgency,” he said. “Unfortunately, now they are, because

Australia arrests crew members of ship that struck Great Barrier Reef New York Times News Service SYDNEY— Two senior crew members in charge of the straying Chinese ship that seriously damaged a section of the Great Barrier Reef were arrested Wednesday and charged with harming a protected marine environment, Australian authorities announced.

The arrests were made after an investigation found that the freighter, loaded with 72,000 tons of coal and carrying 1,075 tons of engine fuel, had been off its official course before running aground on the reef. State and federal politicians have accused the officers of the vessel, Shen Neng 1, of taking a shortcut through the reef to shave time off the twoweek journey to China.

The 755-foot Shen Neng 1, which struck the reef April 3, was finally hauled away late Monday, leaving a scar 1.9 miles long and up to 820 feet wide.

The captain, 47, was charged with being liable for a vessel causing damage in a marine park, an offense that carries a maximum fine of $51,200. The chief officer, 44, was charged with the more serious breach of being in charge of the vessel at the time the accident occurred. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison and a fine of up to $205,000.

American commanders sporadically discussed closing the base almost since it was put there, but over the last 18 months the plan was pushed by Col. Randy George, who commands Task Force Mountain Warrior, which is responsible for four eastern Afghan provinces: Kunar, Nuristan, Nangarhar and Laghman.

“We’re not going to go deep into these valleys and bring them into the 21st century in a couple of months,” said George, who determined early on that keeping forces in the Korengal and in the Kamdesh region was not an effective way to use resources or win over local people.

Senti concurred. “Realistically no one needs to be there,” he said.

“We’re not really overwatching anything other than safeguarding ourselves.”

The current company commander, Capt. Mark Moretti, Company B, Second Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, said he still hoped that his efforts to connect the Korengal elders with the district center in Nangalam would

bear fruit, but other soldiers expressed skepticism.

“They are connected to the district government now a little bit,” said 1st Sgt. Bryan Reed, Company B, Second Battalion, 12th Regiment. “But it’s not one of their priorities.”

Looking back, soldiers say the effort shows how choices made from a lack of understanding or consultation with local people can drive them into the arms of the insurgents.

“We had the best intentions, but when you don’t fully understand the culture” it is impossible to make the right choices, Fussell said.

A number of the infantrymen who fought here ruefully accept that the time has long passed for the military to spend lives and resources in a small and isolated valley that could not have been won without many more troops.

“It is frustrating, because we bled there and now we’re leaving,” said Capt. John P. Rodriguez, who as a first lieutenant served there with Company B, First Battalion, 26th Marines.

“So you question: Were those sacrifices worth it? But just because you lost guys in a place, doesn’t mean you need to stay there.”

MICHELLE OBAMA IN MEXICO

First lady focuses on youth issues A reminder that leaders can emerge from ‘unlikely places’ comes amid a call to break down barriers

By Tim Johnson McClatchy-Tribune News Service

MEXICO CITY — Michelle Obama, in the second stop on her first solo foray abroad as first lady, said Wednesday that it’s time to break down barriers for disadvantaged youth and abandon “wrong and outdated ideas” about who’s worthy of becoming a leader.

She described herself and President Barack Obama as examples of leaders emerging from “unlikely places.”

On the second day of a threeday trip that took her to earthquake-devastated Haiti and on to Mexico, the first lady admired a huge Aztec stone wheel in a museum, played with underprivileged schoolchildren and practiced her Spanish. “From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was entre amigos” — among friends, Obama told hundreds of students gathered at one of Mexico’s most elite universities, the Iberoamericana.

In a talk that focused on the burgeoning global youth population, she exhorted the students to examine their privileged status.

“Those of you who already have

First Lady Michelle Obama dances with schoolchildren at the Siete de Enero school in a low-income neighborhood in Mexico City on Wednesday, the second day of her three-day visit to Mexico. a seat at the table must do your part to make room for others who don’t,” she said.

The world must confront assumptions, she said, “that only certain young people deserve to be educated, that girls aren’t as capable as boys, that some young people are less worthy of opportunities because of their religion or disability or ethnicity or socio-

economic class.”

The first lady seemed to revel in the international spotlight on the solo trip, speaking with passion and changing into a different colorful dress at mid-day.

The morning began with a 45minute meeting with her Mexican counterpart, Margarita Zavala, at the Los Pinos presidential compound in Chapultepec Park.

The two touched on drug treatment, a sensitive topic in a nation reeling from a war among narcotics cartels, a White House statement said.

A battle between rival drug cartels in Mexico has left some 22,700 people dead since late 2006, and drug-related violence along the border increasingly is hitting U.S. targets.

W B No wrongdoing found in climate e-mail case LONDON — Climate-change researchers accused of manipulating or hiding data were guilty of sloppy record-keeping but not bad science, an independent panel in Britain concluded Wednesday. Allegations that the researchers deliberately misrepresented data to promote the idea of human-caused global warming rocked the scientific community in November.

The allegations, by skeptics of climate change, were based on e-mails hacked from the University of East Anglia.

But a panel of experts tasked with examining the underlying science said it “saw no evidence of any deliberate scientific malpractice in any of the work” by the university’s Climatic Research Unit. The panel was commissioned by the university; its seven members, including one from the Massachusetts Insitute of Technology and two from Cambridge University, were chosen in consultation with the prestigious scientific organization the Royal Society.

Thai official questions role of monarchy BANGKOK — The government here distanced itself on Wednesday from remarks by the Thai foreign minister that portrayed the country’s current political crisis as evidence of a

society moving toward greater inclusion but that also broached what he called “the taboo subject” of considering changes to Thailand’s monarchy.

Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, speaking at Johns Hopkins University in Washington, called the upheaval in Thailand “a traumatic experience” that was nevertheless “part of the process of becoming a more open and democratic society.”

U.S. reaches out to new Kyrgyz leaders BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan — The Obama administration began a high-stakes effort Wednesday to smooth things over with new leaders in Kyrgyzstan, who seized power last week after complaining for years that Washington had tolerated human rights abuses against them by the deposed president, Kurmanbek Bakiyev.

Assistant Secretary of State Robert Blake arrived the capital, Bishkek, for two days of talks with the new government.

But in a reminder that Blake was playing catch-up, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin approved a $50 million aid package for the Central Asian republic a few hours earlier.

Behind the flurry of interest in this impoverished nation of 5 million is the future of a U.S. air base here that supports NATO operations in Afghanistan.

Cardinal’s comments on sexuality create a stir

By Rachel Donadio New York Times News Service

ROME — Tensions rose on Wednesday over comments made by the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, who called homosexuality “a pathology” and linked it to pedophilia.

The comments came as the Vatican is trying to calm a scandal over sexual abuse by priests.

Gay rights and victims’ groups protested the comments — and on

Wednesday even the French government weighed in, calling the remarks by Bertone, the Vatican’s second in command, “an unacceptable conflation and one that we condemn.”

The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, quickly distanced the Vatican from the remarks. “Church authorities do not have the competency to make general statements about medical or psychological issues,

which we, of course, refer to specialists,” he said in a statement on Wednesday.

“He was evidently speaking about abuse on the part of priests and not in the general population,” he added.

The comments, raising for the first time the touchy issue of homosexuality amid the sexual abuse scandal, again spoke to the Vatican’s continued difficulties in effectively tackling the crisis.

“He was evidently speaking about abuse on the part of priests and not in the general population.”

Fred Meyer, union nearing deal

By David Holley

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF

The final union contract of three large grocery store chains in Bend should be settled by the end of this week, if union members vote Friday to ratify an agreement reached by Fred Meyer and representatives from United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 555.

Both union and Fred Meyer representatives declined to provide specifics about the new contract, which will last 2½ years, until the Bend union members vote on it.

Jenny Reed, a UFCW International representative working in Oregon, said the agreement would bring Bend workers’ wages,

health insurance costs and retirement security up to par with areas such as Portland.

Reed said the cost of living in Bend is comparable to Portland, while workers in Central Oregon generally make lower wages. Though minimum wage, now $8.40 per hour, is a common starting salary for grocery workers, Reed said they should be paid more.

That’s because grocery stores oftentimes are more successful in down economies, Reed said, with people buying and preparing their own food instead of dining at restaurants.

“While the economy is bad, one of the few industries that are actually making money is the grocery industry,” she said.

That may have been true during the begin-

ning of the recession, said Melinda Merrill, a spokesperson for Fred Meyer in Portland, but grocery stores have seen “unbelievable deflation” during the last year. Merrill said retail prices are dropping on products, squeezing already-low profit margins.

That isn’t to say Fred Meyer wants to lower wages — Merrill said Fred Meyer and UFCW employees have “great wages and benefits.”

“That’s something we would never take away from them,” she said.

Fred Meyer union members in Bend can review and vote on the new contract at 9 a.m., 2 p.m. or 7 p.m. Friday at the Red Lion Hotel on Northeast Third Street.

Small farmers, big event

Loan modifications rise in Deschutes A total of 283 home loans in Deschutes County have been modified through March as part of the federal government’s Making Home Affordable program, according to Treasury Department data released Wednesday.

The amount grew more than 22 percent compared with the 231 home loans permanently modified through February.

However, the number of active loan modification trials dropped to 794 in March, compared with 830 in February.

To be eligible for a permanent loan modification, a borrower must successfully make discounted mortgage payments during the three-month trial period. Additional underwriting conditions apply.

HOUSING

Failures up in modified mortgages

By David Streitfeld New York Times News Service

The number of homeowners who defaulted on their mortgages even after securing cheaper terms through the government’s modification program nearly doubled in March, continuing a trend that could undermine the program.

Data released by the Treasury Department and the Housing and Urban Development Department showed that borrowers had already fallen behind on payments on 2,879 modified loans since the program’s inception in the fall, up from 1,499 in February and 1,005 in January.

The Treasury Department said it could not explain the growing number of what it called cancellations, almost all of which were apparently prompted by the borrower’s being unable to make the new payment. A scant number — 37 — were because the loan had been paid off.

About seven million households are behind on their mortgage payments. The Obama administration’s modification program has been widely criticized for doing little to help them. The program received another bad review on Wednesday with the release of a report from the Congressional Oversight Panel.

More trucks waited behind the Jensens, and in the large field nearby, sat rows of other horse-drawn vehicles, including stagecoaches, covered wagons and buggies, as well as hundreds of plows and other farm implements that had already been unloaded, all in preparation for the three-day auction that begins today.

“This is our biggest sales event of the year,” said Mary Jensen. “This show is one-of-a-kind.”

If you’ve never heard of the show (see “If you go”), you’re hardly in the minority. But for thousands of small and hobby farmers who prefer using horses to tractors, the show is tantamount to a pilgrimage.

The Treasury’s stated goal is for the modification program to help as many as four million households, the oversight report said, “but only some of these offers will result in temporary modifications, and only some of those modifications will convert to final, fiveyear status.”

The report continued: “Even among borrowers who receive five-year modifications, some will eventually fall behind on their payments and once again face foreclosure. In the final reckoning, the goal itself seems small in comparison to the magnitude of the problem.”

The Treasury took issue with the report and said the pace of modifications was picking up.

The number of active permanent modifications in March was 227,922, an increase of 35 percent from those in February. An additional 108,212 permanent modifications are awaiting borrower approval.

Shaun Donovan, secretary of Housing and Urban Development, said in an interview that those were the important numbers to focus on.

While the program is too new to predict its long-term success, the data on previous modification efforts is not encouraging.

Sales rose robustly in March across a wide range of retail stores, another sign that American consumers were beginning to spend more liberally even as the job market remained weak.

The Commerce Department said Wednesday that retail sales climbed 1.6 percent last month compared with February, largely because of a jump in car sales.

Analysts had expected a 1.2 percent increase.

The report provided the latest evidence that consumers were gaining confidence, despite pervasive unemployment and large debt burdens. Pent-up demand is anchoring much of the growth, economists say, though there

are signs that credit is beInside coming more available.

But they say that the recent burst of enthusiasm could fade as government stimulus spending wanes and if the labor market remains weak.

“Across the board, you’ve got robust gains,” said John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics. “To maintain this momen-

tum, we’ve got to see a pickup in job creation.”

Sales were up at stores of many types: Building materials climbed 1.3 percent and clothing sales increased 2.3 percent.

‘Growing more than we’ anticipated Spending is “growing more than we originally anticipated,” Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist for Miller Tabak, an investment firm, wrote in a research note. “This is a fact that cannot be ignored.”

Car sales were the report’s bright spot, climbing 6.8 percent.

Earlier this month, carmakers reported that incentives helped

them post a 24 percent increase in March sales, the industry’s largest year-over-year increase in eight years.

Total retail sales in March also surged compared with their level a year earlier, rising 7.6 percent, the Commerce Department said.

Whether that trend will continue is unclear. While the unemployment rate has remained steady at 9.7 percent, some analysts expect that number to climb.

In addition, the government is likely to begin scaling back stimulus efforts, including incentives to buy homes. Interest rates, kept at record lows during the financial crisis to spur lending, may also rise.

ECONOMIC RECOVERY

Fed: U.S. must address deficit

By Sewell Chan New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve chairman said Wednesday that the government had to make “difficult choices” to address its gaping deficits and warned that “postponing them will only make them more difficult.”

The chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, said that a “credible plan” for reining in federal deficits could help lower long-term interest rates. “Although sizable deficits are unavoidable in the near term, maintaining the confidence of the public and financial markets requires that policy makers move decisively to set the federal budget on a trajectory toward sustainable fiscal balance,” he said.

In testimony to the Joint Economic Committee of Congress, Bernanke said that a moderate recovery had begun, but that it would take “a significant amount of time” to restore the 8.5 million jobs lost in the last two years.

Of particular concern, he said, was that 44 percent of the unemployed in March had been jobless for at least six months.

Inflation, the other side of Bernanke’s mandate as Fed chairman, remains low. Personal consumption spending, the index of inflation the Fed uses the most, has been rising at an annual rate of 1.25 percent. Excluding the more volatile prices of food and energy, core inflation has slowed to an annual rate of 0.5 percent.

Bernanke did not provide new details on the Fed’s policy stance that short-term interest rates would remain near zero for “an extended period.” He said that time frame was contingent on high unemployment, subdued inflation and stable inflation expectations.

“If those conditions cease to hold, and we anticipate changes in the outlook, then of course we will respond to that,” he told the committee’s chairwoman, Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, D-N.Y. Bernanke’s fiscal admonitions came a week after he gave a speech in Dallas warning that the country must prepare for the aging of the population. They could give momentum to the biparti-

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testifies in Washington on Wednesday before the Joint Economic Committee hearing on the economy. san fiscal commission created by President Barack Obama. He did not specify whether he believed the government should raise taxes, make cuts to Social Security and other benefits programs, or do something else.

He did warn the nation’s debts and deficits could at some point alarm investors and raise the government’s borrowing costs.

“At some point, the markets will make a judgment about, really, not our economic capacity but our political ability, our political will, to achieve longerterm sustainability,” Bernanke told Sen. Sam Brownback, RKan. “At that point interest rates could go up and that would be, of course, a negative for economic growth and recovery.”

Could it happen now? Bernanke replied, “It’s absolutely possible, certainly.”

Later, he told Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., that “right now the markets are essentially signaling a lot of confidence that our political system will deliver a sustainable trajectory of fiscal policy” over the next few decades.

“If we don’t do it, or we give a strong indication that we’re not going to be able to do it,” he warned, “then it would not be something that we have (to) worry about in 2040; it could be something we have to worry about on Wednesday.”

The deficit will start to “recede somewhat” over the next two years as the stimulus winds down and the recovery brings in more revenue, but is projected to remain around 4 to 5 percent of gross domestic product through 2020, Bernanke said.

Under a more gloomy situation — one that assumes 60,000 American troops in overseas operations by 2015, discretionary spending growing at the rate of nominal gross domestic product, the extension of expiring tax cuts, and an inflation-indexed alternative minimum tax — the deficit could reach 9 percent of GDP by 2020, he said.

Bernanke also addressed the politically heated issue of China’s currency. He told Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., that “most economists agree the Chinese

Obama calls for tighter control of derivatives on Wall Street

By Charles Babington The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Wednesday that Democrats’ efforts to regulate Wall Street will not result in new public bailouts of banks, as Republicans have charged.

Obama also said he wants greater federal oversight of derivatives — investment products that contributed to the nation’s financial meltdown.

The president met with House and Senate leaders of both parties to discuss legislation revamping regulation of the financial industry. The Senate is beginning to debate the measure amid sharp partisan differences.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who sat two chairs from Obama in the White House Cabinet Room, delivered a speech earlier Wednesday saying the administration-backed bill would perpetuate bailouts for Wall Street rather than end them.

Obama, speaking briefly to reporters before the closed meeting began, said he was “absolutely confident that the bill that emerges is going to be a bill that prevents bailouts. That’s the goal.”

“If there’s one lesson that we’ve learned,” he said, “it’s that an unfettered market where people are taking huge risks and expecting taxpayers to bail them out when things go sour is simply not acceptable.”

He called for “a strong mechanism to regulate derivatives.”

Obama also said the complex investment packages exist “in the shadow economy” and are “enormously risky.”

“We want to get that into daylight,” he said.

Derivatives are contracts used to hedge risk or speculate on the future value of assets. The most problematic derivatives from 2008 and 2009 involved mortgage loans that went into default.

After the meeting, McConnell was unmoved. He still insisted that the Senate bill “will lead to

Recession forces insurance agencies to rethink strategies

“If there’s one lesson that we’ve learned, it’s that an unfettered market where people are taking huge risks and expecting taxpayers to bail them out when things go sour is simply not acceptable.”

— President Barack Obama, in regard to financial reform endless taxpayer bailouts of Wall Street banks.”

That was the message he delivered earlier on the Senate floor — the second such attack on the bill in as many days. He said the White House plans the same approach on financial reforms that it took on health care: “Put together a partisan bill, then jam it through on a strictly partisan basis.”

‘Bailouts are forbidden’ White House economist Austan Goolsbee dismissed the GOP objections as “totally disingenuous.”

“Bailouts are forbidden,” he said in an interview. “There will only be wipeouts. They (the banks) will clean up the messes.

If somebody fails, they’re done — they’re toast. The management is fired. They’re broken up or sold off or liquidated.”

Goolsbee added the GOP broadside was “pretty cheeky of the Republican leadership,” and an effort to divert attention from its efforts to stop regulation of the derivatives market. “They’re trying to dramatically weaken and put loopholes into that derivatives regulation,” he said.

Sen. Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, has been working for

months with the committee’s top Republican, Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, and more recently with Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, to seek bipartisan agreement on the bill. The efforts have not yielded full agreement, but the bill the Banking Committee approved on a party-line vote last month contained several provisions that were the fruit of those negotiations.

‘My patience is running out’ On Wednesday, however, Dodd angrily accused Republicans of “political chicanery” and appeared on the verge of abandoning talks.

“My patience is running out, my patience is running out,” he said from the Senate floor. “I’m not going to continue doing this if all I’m getting from the other side is the suggestions somehow that this is a partisan effort.”

Asked after the White House meeting whether it was time for Dodd to abandon efforts to negotiate with Shelby, Reid said: “We’re going to move on the bill very quickly. They can offer all the amendments they want on the floor.”

Republicans think they continue to score huge points with voters by opposing the health care overhaul that narrowly passed Congress with no GOP votes. They are taking a similar approach on financial regulations. Democrats say Republicans are sympathetic to Wall Street tycoons rather than average Americans.

Democrats need at least one Senate Republican vote to overcome procedural hurdles facing the bill. Democrats and the administration, in public and in private, have expressed confidence that they will have the votes.

The White House says GOP lawmakers are using campaign strategist talking points to label the legislation as a bank bailout, regardless of the truth.

currency is undervalued and has been used to promote a more export-oriented economy. I think it would be good for the Chinese to allow more flexibility in their exchange rate.”

Letting its currency, the renminbi, appreciate would give China’s central bank more flexibility in monetary policy and help stimulate domestic demand and consumption, Bernanke said.

He also told Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, that the Fed would not try to monetize debts by increasing the money and credit supply and stimulating inflation.

“Given that so many of our obligations are either short-term or indexed or are real obligations, such as medical obligations or Social Security obligations, which are indexed, it wouldn’t have a substantial effect, even if there were a willingness to do that, which, of course, there is not,” he said. “Inflation is just not an answer, either for economic reasons and just because it wouldn’t affect the balance very much.”

KLAMATH FALLS — The recession hit insurance companies hard, and Klamath Basin providers are adjusting to the new market by reaching out to clients they hadn’t before.

At Klamath Insurance Center, sales bucked a national trend by increasing in 2009, said co-owner Craig Phair.

Those increases, he said, came in the midst of a depressed insurance market that has fewer home and car owners buying into new policies.

“Everybody’s trying to save money, so they’re shopping around,” Phair said. “Because of the economy they are doing that more. They’re doing everything they can.”

The appetite for the best deals has companies like Klamath Insurance Center and Midland Empire Insurance re-thinking customer outreach strategies.

Midland owner Lance Lesueur says he also feels pressure associated with customers shopping around more.

“There is more competition,” he said. “Everything is very tight.”

Lesueur said sales at his company “have been doing OK, but it’s nothing to write home to mother about.”

At Brad Zimmer Farmers’ Insurance, sales have picked up in recent months.

Not ‘recession-proof’ But owner Brad Zimmer said the recession has had a ripple effect on the insurance industry, narrowing the pool of families with enough financial viability to buy into new policies.

“It’s been slow, of course, with the market,” he said. “People say our business is recession-proof, but that’s not correct. When the market goes down, homes close, and we’re not writing policies for any of those.

And, he added, typically, car insurance sales dip with a housing bust. If people cannot afford homeowners insurance, they usually cannot afford auto insurance, either.

Intel’s 1Q profit nearly quadruples from last year

By Jordan Robertson The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Intel Corp. said Tuesday its net income in the first quarter nearly quadrupled over last year and reflected an overall bump in spending on technology by companies.

Among other things, Intel got a lift from sales of new chips for computer servers — the kind of purchase that many companies delayed in the recession.

Intel is the first major technology company to report earn-

ings for the first three months.

It said after the market closed Tuesday that it earned $2.4 billion, or 43 cents per share, in the first three months of 2009.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting profit of 38 cents per share.

The company also raised its forecast for a key performance measurement. Intel now predicts a gross profit margin of 62 percent to 66 percent of revenue in 2010, up from its previous guidance of 58 percent to 64 percent of revenue.

Tips to change patterns of spending and saving

By Robert Powell McClatchy-Tribune News Service

BOSTON — When it comes to saving for retirement and building a portfolio to last a lifetime, most Americans are way behind the eight-ball — and all the other balls on the pool table.

More than 54 percent of Americans report that the total value of their household’s savings and investments, excluding the value of their primary home and any defined-benefit plans, is less than $25,000, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s annual Retirement Confidence survey. What’s worse, 27 percent have less than $1,000 in assets. Just 11 percent have more than $250,000 set aside.

Many Americans need to modify their savings and spending patterns to have any hope of enjoying a standard of living to which, rightly or wrongly, they’ve become accustomed.

Here are some nest egg do’s and don’ts, according to Hewitt Associates and Merrill Lynch.

Americans’ tax bills are lower this year Federal cuts outweigh state increases ... for now

By Stephen Ohlemacher The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — You wouldn’t know it by the Tax Day rhetoric, but Americans are paying lower taxes this year, even with increases passed by many states to balance their budgets.

Don’t expect it to last.

Congress cut individuals’ federal taxes for this year by about $173 billion shortly after President Barack Obama took office, dwarfing the $28.6 billion in increases by states.

In the next few years, however, many can expect to pay more.

Some future increases were enacted as part of Obama’s health care overhaul. And former President George W. Bush’s tax cuts expire in January. Obama and the Democrats want to renew only some of them, thus raising taxes for individuals making more than $200,000 and couples making more than $250,000.

The massive economic recov-

ery package enacted last year included about $300 billion in tax cuts over 10 years. About $232 billion was in cuts for individuals, nearly all in the first two years.

The most generous was Obama’s Making Work Pay credit, which gives individuals up to $400 and couples up to $800 for 2009 and 2010. The $1,000 child tax credit was expanded to more families, and the working poor can qualify for as much as $5,657 from the Earned Income Tax Credit.

There were also credits for qualified families who buy new homes or make energy improvements to existing ones, as well as tax breaks to help pay college tuition or buy new cars.

At the same time, many states raised taxes last year because they are required by state constitutions to balance their budgets, even during a recession.

In all, states increased personal income taxes by $11.4 billion, ac-

cording to the National Conference of State Legislatures. They increased sales taxes by $7.2 billion and business taxes by $2 billion.

The biggest tax increase in the health care overhaul is limited to individuals making more than $200,000 and couples making more than $250,000, though other increases would hit lower income taxpayers.

For the first time, the Medicare payroll tax would be applied to investment income, beginning in 2013. A new 3.8 percent tax would be imposed on interest, dividends, capital gains and other investment income for individuals making more than $200,000 a year and couples making more than $250,000.

The bill also would increase the Medicare payroll tax by 0.9 percentage point to 2.35 percent on wages above $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for married couples filing jointly.

Participate in your employer’s plan If you’re lucky enough to have a 401(k) at work, contribute to it.

That will greatly improve your financial well-being, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, which recently introduced a new tool designed to monitor and score the “financial wellness” of 401(k) plans in general and, by extension, the employees who participate in them.

The new tool looks at four plan-participant behaviors, including saving, investing, setting and monitoring retirement goals, and nest-egg preservation.

According to Kevin Crain of Merrill, the healthiest 401(k) plans (at least among Merrill clients) are those where 80 percent of the eligible employees are participating in the plan. The least healthy are those where 70 percent of eligible employees participate. In addition, he said the healthiest 401(k) plans also have automatic enrollment, automatic increases and investment advice provided to workers.

or more of your total 401(k) account balance; not having requested a proposed investment strategy; not using asset-allocation or target-date funds; concentrating in specific asset classes; concentrating in company stock; not taking full advantage of the company match; saving 2 percent or less; and not saving at all. These behaviors each cost you at least one point off the overall score.

Increase your contribution rate Consider upping the percentage of your salary that you contribute to your 401(k). According to Hewitt, workers contribute on average 7 percent of their salary to a 401(k), but every little bit matters.

Crain, for instance, reports that workers with the healthiest 401(k) plans contribute 8.5 percent on average to their accounts while workers with the least healthy plans contribute just 6.5 percent on average. For its part, Hewitt noted in a release that contributing just 1 percent or 2 percent more of your salary to your 401(k) can have a dramatic effect on your retirement savings.

Put your 401(k) plan on autopilot According to Hewitt, you should consider taking advantage of any and all tools that take the guesswork out of saving and investing. Consider signing up for automatic escalation and automatic rebalancing tools if your employer offers such options.

according to a joint study from Hewitt Associates and Financial Engines.

Merrill’s Crain is in agreement about the benefits of advice. In Merrill’s world, 401(k) plans that offered advice to participants had higher “wellness” score than those that didn’t offer advice, 8.5 to 6.2.

Accept free money It’s hard to believe, but more than one-in-four workers leave free money on the table. They contribute below the companymatch threshold, according to Hewitt. Contribute enough to your 401(k) to receive your full employer match.

Hewitt research shows that 80 percent of employers that reduced or suspended their match in 2009 plan to restore it in 2010.

Don’t cash out If you’re changing jobs or leaving your job, don’t cash out your 401(k) savings. About 46 percent of employees cash out, according to Hewitt. Typically, you’ll pay a tax on the amount withdrawn and a 10 percent early withdrawal fee.

Don’t over-invest in company stock In Merrill’s Financial Wellness index, you lose points for over-investing in company stock, because doing so means that both your human capital and financial capital are tied to your employer. And if your employer goes belly-up, you lose your job and a good portion of your 401(k).

Avoid risky behavior In Merrill’s new index, participants can receive a wellness score on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being a perfect score. Points are deducted from the overall wellness score of each participant based on symptoms associated with “at risk” behaviors.

New limitations in store for education savings accounts

By Steve Rosen McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Say a prayer for the Coverdell.

The popular educational savings lynchpin for many families may soon lose most of its allure.

Key provisions of the Coverdell account will be eliminated at the end of this year under a “sunset” deadline unless Congress acts to extend the benefits. That’s a long shot, experts say.

The changes, among other things, would significantly reduce the maximum annual contribution, restrict allowable expenses, and eliminate certain tax benefits. All of which would make for an unattractive future for Coverdell’s, which have long provided a relatively simple and flexible way to stash cash for ever-escalating educational expenses.

Under current law, any individual, including children, can contribute to a Coverdell as long as modified adjusted gross income is below $110,000 or $220,000 for those filing joint returns. However, only those with modified adjusted gross income below $95,000 (or $190,000 on joint re-

turns) can make the maximum contributions of $2,000 a year up until a student-beneficiary turns 18, unless it’s for a special-needs student.

For now, the money can be applied to cover college and precollege education expenses for kindergarten through 12th grade in public or private schools. Covered expenses include tuition, academic tutoring, books, computers, room and board, school uniforms and transportation.

Although contributions are not tax-deductible, withdrawals are exempt from federal taxes as long as the money is used for the qualified expenses.

But barring congressional action by Dec. 31, the maximum annual contribution will be cut to $500 in 2011.

In addition, the tax-free withdrawals from Coverdell’s to pay for pre-college educational expenses will be eliminated. The timing is particularly bad, given that cash-strapped school districts and private schools have added fees and raised tuition.

While U.S. Sen. Charles Grass-

ley, R-Iowa, has introduced legislation that would essentially make permanent the current provisions in Coverdell accounts, the bill hasn’t generated much momentum. .

If you’re weighing a Coverdell contribution as the tax-filing deadline approaches, consider your options, said Raquel Granahan, a senior vice president of college savings plans with OppenheimerFunds in New York.

For example, if you already have a Coverdell account and have been using the funds to pay for K-12 expenses, you may want to spend the money more quickly this year, Granahan said.

Or, if college savings is the goal, consider a $4,000 contribution by April 15 — $2,000 for 2009 and $2,000 for this year.

Another option is to roll the money into a state-sponsored 529 account college account. The 529s offer similar tax benefits and don’t have annual contribution caps, though most states limit you to $200,000 to $300,000 on contributions over the lifetime of the account.

Recovery

es, coupled with a weak dollar, as evidence that inflation may be in the pipeline.

The Consumer Price Index has increased 2.3 percent in the last year — slightly higher than the Fed’s target rate — and some costs, including energy and education, have surged. Tuition costs surged more than 6 percent last month.

Prices have been held back by a weak real estate market, with rents continuing to decline.

Some economists say they believe that prices are so subdued that the more pressing concern is deflation, which occurs when weak demand causes prices to fall. Whether deflation emerges as a threat may depend largely on the strength of the recovery and whether demand can remain robust even in the absence of government efforts.

The Labor Department said Wednesday that the average weekly salary increased 0.1 percent in March over the previous month. Economists are watching that number closely as they try to gauge when the job market might begin to improve more substantially. Businesses typically begin to add hours and wages before making permanent hires.

In its report on retail sales, the government said sales were stronger in February than originally estimated. They rose 0.5 percent rather than 0.3 percent.

Continued from B1 The rosier outlook for sales was underscored in a report by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday, which showed economic activity picking up across most of the country. The Fed’s “beige book” survey found that businesses generally reported better sales and increased production last month.

Many employers, however, remained reluctant to hire permanent workers.

“While overall labor markets remained weak, some hiring activity was evident,” the Fed report said.

A separate report on Wednesday suggested that the stimulus efforts had not yet spurred inflation. Consumer prices rose 0.1 percent in March, the Labor Department said, largely because of higher prices for fruits and vegetables. The price of medical care and new and used vehicles also rose. Excluding volatile food and energy costs, prices were flat.

“Inflation as measured by the government is going nowhere but down,” Greenhaus wrote.

The data will probably give the Federal Reserve breathing room as it seeks to keep the benchmark federal funds rate near zero.

Still, some economists point to increases in food and energy pric-

Truck stop data supports recovery WASHINGTON — The amount of diesel fuel bought using credit cards at U.S. truck stops increased in March to the highest level in more than a year, indicating the recovery is broadening beyond manufacturing.

The Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index, which measures fuel consumption, rose 1 percent last month to reach the highest level since September 2008, a report Tuesday showed.

The gauge has increased every month since November with the exception of February, when blizzards hampered travel.

Truck tonnage increased on a year-over-year basis in February for a third straight month, a separate report from the American Trucking Associations showed. Companies such as Con-Way Inc. are benefiting from inventory rebuilding, increased exports and stronger sales.

National truck tonnage was up 2.6 percent in February from a year earlier on a seasonally adjusted basis, the group said March 26. Its index is up 7.7 percent since reaching a seven- year low in April 2009. The measure fell 8.7 percent in 2009, the most in 27 years.

The gains follow a rebound in manufacturing. A report from the Federal Reserve is projected to show production at factories, mines and utilities climbed 0.7 percent in March, a ninth consecutive gain, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.

Union Continued from B1 The contract only affects the Bend location. Redmond is not unionized, Reed said.

Anyone working at Fred Meyer is represented by and must pay fees to the union, though they must sign a membership card to vote as a member of the union.

UFCW covers about 600 Central Oregon workers in retail, food, health care, manufacturing and other industries.

Negotiations with Fred Meyer took longer in Bend than in other cities, and longer than negotiations with other chains.

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, April 15, 2010 B5 “Fred Meyer was kind of the Johnnycome-lately, I guess,” Reed said, declining to say why negotiations took longer.

Portland-area Fred Meyer stores and employees settled their contract in January, Reed said, adding that Bend workers joined Portlanders at the bargaining table.

Other grocery workers in Bend — at Safeway and Albertsons — settled “nearly identical” contracts, Reed said. Safeway settled in January, and Albertsons in February.

State jobless rate flat PORTLAND — Oregon’s chief economist, Tom Potiowsky, says he’s encouraged by an increase in manufacturing jobs.

He told The Oregonian the state could being seeing overall job growth in the second quarter, although it’s likely to be mild.

State unemployment held flat in March at 10.6 percent. The figures released Tuesday show the state lost only 400 nonfarm payroll jobs last month, far fewer than some of the monthly job losses in recent years.

Farmers Continued from B1 “We left Calgary at 5:30 Monday night and pulled into Madras late (Tuesday) night,” said Ed Charest, a former farmer who now keeps horses and is visiting the show for the third time. “The stuff you see here, you don’t in Alberta.”

The show, which is dedicated to advancing sustainable agriculture and small-farm culture, got its start three decades ago in the Willamette Valley, with an auction that lasted only seven hours.

It was the outgrowth of the Small Farmer’s Journal, a quarterly trade magazine founded by Sisters resident Lynn Miller, who still oversees the publication and the show, which he also founded.

Now that the auction lasts three days, Miller estimates roughly $2 million to $4 million will change hands.

Miller said the show generates roughly 10 percent of his publishing company’s revenues.

The magazine, the Small Farmer’s Journal, which includes everything from poetry to essays on crop rotation and horse care, has a subscription of about 20,000 worldwide. Kathy Blann, the magazine’s office manager, said its subscription rate has remained steady during the recession, while advertising has dipped only 5 percent.

Walking plow competitor Jacob McIntosh, 14, of Redmond, works with his team of draft horses Wednesday at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Madras. with draft animals as well as music and entertainment in the evenings, including a farmer social Friday night.

The show also attracts numerous vendors hawking everything from Western clothing and handmade leather goods to antiques and farm equipment from the era before gasoline.

As the show has grown, so has its impact. Miller estimates the show will attract between 5,000 and 8,000 people, who will indirectly spend $3 million in restaurants, hotels and other establishments in Madras.

Holli Van Wert, executive director of the Madras Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber was thrilled when Miller decided two years ago to move the show to Madras from the Sisters Rodeo Grounds, adding that its economic impact is bigger than the annual county fair.

“Motels are booked,” Van Wert

A growing event As the auction has grown, so has the rest of the show. There is now a separate horse auction, a swap meet, clinics and workshops on working and farming

said. “I know it’s hugely popular — it’s a 30-year-old event, so people fly in from all over the world for this.”

The Jefferson County Fairgrounds parking lot would seem to confirm Van Wert’s assertion, at least from a regional standpoint. Cars and trucks with license plates from every state in the West, minus New Mexico, were already on hand for the show’s first day.

“This is the only event of its type and people come from all over,” Miller said Wednesday, in between judging a plowing competition. “I liken it to a market festival, where you combine a freewheeling market aspect and encourage people to learn and share information.”

George Ziermann, a bootmaker from the Eastern Oregon town of Harper, has been a vendor at the show for 15 years. He travels to just three shows a year

In a booth next to him was his daughter, Melanie Marlow, also from Harper, who sews and sells buckaroo shirts and petticoats.

The Small Farmer’s Journal show is not the most lucrative show the two attend, but both said it’s one of their favorites.

“It’s just a great show,” Marlow said. “These are people interested in doing things the old way, and people who think that way, buy that way. There’s nothing in here made in Bangladesh.”

SEATTLE — For $499 you can get Apple’s iPad, a power adapter, a cable for connecting to a computer and not much else — other than an overwhelming urge to spend at least $200 more.

The advertised price for the least expensive iPad might help entice more than just the wellto-do geek elite, but the cost of owning one usually turns out to be higher.

To protect this sparkling gem of a gadget, you might pick out a $39 neoprene cover. If you want to use the iPad more like a laptop and type on keys rather than a touch screen, you’ll need a $69 keyboard dock.

The iPad comes with basic applications, including a Web browser, e-mail program, YouTube video player and a mapping program, but you’re likely to want other apps that cost a few bucks each, plus songs, videos and e-books.

If you’re going to invest that much, you might be inclined to spend $99 more to double the length of the iPad’s warranty to two years.

For most products, it’s not worth buying the extended warranty. But it could be wise on the iPad because no one yet knows how long the battery or other parts will last with everyday use. Replacing a dying battery after the warranty expires, which Apple Inc. prohibits iPad owners from doing themselves, would cost about $106.

Jolie Monea of Edmonds, Wash., accidentally broke the screen on her iPhone, so she was sure to get the neoprene cover that zips around her $499 iPad for storage or travel. She also got the $99 AppleCare extended warranty and was considering the keyboard dock. That adds up to more than $800 — before Washington state’s 9.5 percent sales tax, and before spending

The Bento iPad application is demonstrated in Palo Alto, Calif.

Although the advertised price for Apple Inc.’s least expensive iPad may be enticing to more than just the well-to-do geek elite, the actual cost of owning one quickly turns out to be much higher. on downloadable apps.

Monea says she looks for fresh iPhone apps about twice a week, and spends $5 to $10 on new ones every week. In a year, if her habit is the same for the iPad, that’s another $250 to $500, bringing her total to well over $1,000.

Josie Liming, a Seattle-based photographer, wasn’t sure she’d need a cover for her iPad, but decided after a few days that the answer was yes.

“It’s so small, I can fit it in my

bag that I carry every day with me,” she said. “I’m just scared to death it’s going to get scratched up with keys.”

Buying an Apple gadget is never the end of the story, said Kenji Obata, who runs a technology startup called Spoon.

He knew when he bought the $599 version of the iPad, which has twice as much data storage space as the $499 model, that he’d want more accessories.

“With Apple, you know it’s coming,” he said.

SAN JOSE, Calif.

— Demand for the new iPad tablet is exceeding supply, causing Apple to stall its international rollout by a month, the company announced Wednesday morning.

In a statement, Apple said it has so far delivered more than 500,000 iPads that run on Wi-Fi networks and sales “will likely continue to exceed our supply over the next several weeks.”

It called the new tablet “a runaway success in the U.S. so far.”

Apple also said it has taken “a large number” of pre-orders for iPads that run on 3G networks, which will be delivered the end of April.

Apple will begin taking online pre-orders for overseas customers May 10.

The first countries outside the United States expected to get the iPad include Canada, Australia, the U.K., France, Germany and Japan.

Last week at a meeting with reporters at Apple headquarters, CEO Steve Jobs said that as of Thursday, Apple had sold about 450,000 iPads, up from more than 300,000 on launch day the previous Saturday. He admitted the Cupertino, Calif., company was having difficulty meeting demand as stores ran out of iPads.

“Evidently, we aren’t making enough,” he said. “We are trying our best.”

Oran Teater decides not to run for council

By Cindy Powers The Bulletin

A Deschutes County commissioner is pushing for a study of the economic costs and benefits of destination resorts, in response to contradictory reports on the issue by resort operators and a land use watchdog group.

Resort opponents have argued that many destination resorts are nothing more than large rural subdivisions, while developers and operators have said they draw tourists to Central Oregon and boost the local economy.

County Commissioner Tammy Baney wants the county to pay

for an independent study of destination resort impacts, because she believes a 2009 report by Central Oregon LandWatch inaccurately portrayed resorts costs.

The county might hire graduate students at the University of Oregon’s community planning workshop to produce the study, and costs could range from $10,000 to $40,000 depending on the scope of work, county Planning Director Nick Lelack said.

A consultant would cost $75,000 to $150,000.

Deschutes County has six destination resorts, more than any other county in the state, and de-

Needle exchange program receives extra funding

Former Bend Mayor and current City Councilor Oran Teater announced Wednesday that he will not run for the seat he currently holds on the council.

“I’m actually going to focus on my business,” said Teater, who works as a financial adviser. “I really do want to focus more on that, and a little more time with my family and, quite frankly, I didn’t ask for this position.”

Bend City Councilor Mark Capell also announced WednesOran Teater day that he plans to run for re-election.

Capell has been on the council for one four-year term and said he still feels there is plenty of work for him to do.

“There are so many interesting and challenging issues in front of the city right now, between economic development, transportation, water and sewer, infrastructure and budget issues that there are going to be things before the council in the very near future that impact the community for many years,” Capell said.

“So I think it’s important to stay involved.”

Teater, who has lived in Central Oregon since 1971, was appointed to his seat in February 2009 after then-city councilor Chris Telfer was elected to the state senate. Teater was coaxed into taking the job after infighting among the council nearly led to a deadlock on Telfer’s replacement.

St. Charles still has openings for free skin cancer checks

By Diane S.W. Lee The Bulletin

St. Charles Bend is offering a free skin cancer screening Saturday to promote early detection and raise awareness of the disease, which claims the lives of more than 65,000 people worldwide every year, according to the World Health Organization.

“If you do have skin cancer, you could have a potentially deadly cancer on your body,” said Dr. Mark Hall of Central Oregon Dermatology in Bend.

“If it’s caught earlier, (you) will do better than if it’s caught late.”

It’s estimated one American dies every hour from malignant melanoma, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. St. Charles Bend Cancer Care is offering the free screening, as part of the nationwide American Academy of Dermatology program. AAD has conducted more than 2 million screenings since 1985, and has discovered more than 21,500 suspected melanomas, according to its Web site.

Space is limited to 40 people. About 10 people have signed up as of Wednesday. The free service is offered to provide cancer screening access to people whose insurance may not cover examination costs, and those who may not have insurance, said Lizzi Katz, 46, the center’s survivorship coordinator.

velopers have proposed more.

Economic and fiscal impacts of resorts would likely be the focus of the study, Lelack said, and officials have not decided whether to look at other areas such as the environment.

The county has struggled to get resorts to reveal how many residents live there year-round, how many have vacation homes where residents spend only part of the year, and how many homes or lodging units are rented to tourists.

“Any study needs to determine the actual demographics and occupancy rates of an existing

resort, because that will generate the methodology that’s used to determine all of the costs and benefits of a resort,” Lelack said.

So far, most of the research on resort impacts has come from the analyses developers are required to produce to get approval for their projects. Last year, Sunriver Resort and the land use watchdog group Central Oregon LandWatch both produced reports. The Oregon Employment Department also examined destination resorts’ impacts on the economy in 2007, although a regional economist looked only at average wages for resort jobs and how much tax resorts and their customers paid.

County program designed to prevent disease spread

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

O

regon’s only needle exchange program on the east side of the Cascades has received a needed funding boost from St. Charles Health System.

A division of the Deschutes County Health Department, the needle exchange was given $4,000 through the hospital’s sponsorship program, according to St. Charles spokeswoman Janette Sherman.

She said the program provides funds to a variety of local organizations involved in providing health services to children and the under served, including Bend’s Community Center, Family Access Network and the KIDS Center.

Needle exchange programs are intended to slow the spread of blood-bourne infectious diseases by providing syringes to intravenous drug users to deter the sharing of syringes. According to the Center for Disease Control, more than one-third of all AIDS cases in the United States can be linked to intravenous drug use.

Johnson, who runs the needle exchange program in her role as

The injection kit provided to intravenous drug users by the Deschutes County Health department needle exchange program includes syringes, alcohol swabs, cotton balls, a metal cooker and a tourniquet band. the county’s HIV and Hepatitis C Prevention Coordinator, said the funds from St. Charles come at a time when the program is experiencing rapid growth.

When the needle exchange began in November 2005, it had one

client who received 13 syringes through the end of the year, Johnson said. In 2009, the program worked with around 200 clients, and provided 14,000 syringes.

Even larger numbers are anticipated this year.

Johnson said she can see the program continuing to grow for the next three or four years — drug users are typically introduced to the needle exchange by other drug users familiar with the program, she said, and its taken some time to build trust with drug users in the area.

“That trust is unusual for many of our clients, because typically their addiction has segregated them from their family and friends, because a lot of horrible things come along with addiction,” she said.

In past years, the needle exchange has relied on donations and grant funding to purchase its supply of syringes. The program is jointly funded through the county and federal funds that pass through the state health department. Until December, a federal law barred needle exchanges from purchasing syringes with federal funds, and Johnson’s program is bound by the Deschutes County Commission’s decision not to use county funds to purchase syringes.

In 1945, during World War II, British and Canadian troops liberated the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen.

In 1947, Jackie Robinson, baseball’s first black major league player, made his official debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers on opening day. The Dodgers defeated the Boston Braves, 5-3.

In 1959, Cuban leader Fidel Castro arrived in Washington to begin a goodwill tour of the

United States. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles resigned for health reasons; he was succeeded by Christian A. Herter.

In 1960, a three-day conference to form the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) began at Shaw University in Raleigh, N.C. The group’s first chairman was Marion Barry.

In 1980, existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre died in Paris at age 74.

In 1990, actress Greta Garbo died in New York at age 84.

TEN YEARS AGO The world’s leading financial officials, meeting in Washington, pledged cooperation to promote global prosperity. Meanwhile, anti-globalization protesters swarmed through the heart of the nation’s capital. Cal Ripken of the Baltimore Orioles became the 24th player to reach 3,000 hits when he lined a clean single to center off Twins reliever Hector Carrasco. The Orioles won the game, 6-4.

SALEM — Candidates for Oregon’s top education job have markedly different views of how the state education department should operate.

State Rep. Ron Maurer is challenging two-term incumbent Susan Castillo for the job of state superintendent of public instruction.

Castillo, a former television reporter and Democratic legislator, was elected in 2002, beating incumbent Stan Bunn, who was embroiled in an ethics scandal. She easily beat her sole opponent for reelection in 2006.

She said Oregon is a nationwide leader in the use of data to improve instruction and outcomes and has made many management improvements since the widely publicized problems of her predecessor.

Castillo said she would focus the next four years on implementing the state’s new, more rigorous high school graduation requirements, continuing to work toward closing the achievement gap and continuing to increase access to early-childhood education.

Maurer, however, said there has not been enough improve-

ment in student performance in the past eight years.

He noted that a recent study ranked Oregon 43rd in the nation on education outcomes and that the state’s unsuccessful request for federal Race to the Top grants ranked near the bottom of those submitted.

Maurer said he would make it a priority to turn the Department of Education into a service organization that works on behalf of school and education districts.

Maurer is a two-term Republican state representative from Grants Pass and a former health clinic owner. Although he has spent most of his career in health care, Maurer notes that he holds a doctorate in education and comes from a family of educators. “I think it’s about time we put an educator in charge of the education department,� he said.

Castillo said she brings the valuable experience of nearly eight years in the job.

With only two candidates, the nonpartisan race will be settled in May.

O Book bank provides for low-income kids

By Noelle Crombie

Tom Myers, volunteer coordinator with the Children’s Book Bank, helps unload books at Bridger Elementary School in Portland last week. So far, the bank has handed out more than 50,000 books.

The Oregonian

PORTLAND — When Jocelyn Kragero’s 4-year-old son, Tyson, came home from preschool with a bag of children’s books — a few of them new — she thought there’d been some kind of mistake.

Worried Tyson had taken books that didn’t belong to him, she planned to return all 15 of them to Head Start at Creston Elementary the following morning.

But, as it turned out, it wasn’t a mistake. Those books were Tyson’s to keep.

“It was a complete blessing,” said Kragero, a bookkeeper for her family’s business and single mom of two. Money’s tight, she said, and new books are often a luxury she can’t afford.

drop them off. Stephanie Lisa Tara, a children’s book author in San Francisco, e-mailed Swope a couple of weeks ago to ask if the book bank would be interested in some of her books. Sure, Swope said. Within days, 1,500 new books arrived at the book bank.

The book bank receives most of its funding from the Portland Schools Foundation and the Meyer Memorial Trust.

Swope and a pair of AmeriCorps workers staff the book bank, coordinating hundreds of volunteers who help prepare the books for donation and making sure the books get into the hands of needy children.

So far, the bank has handed out more than 50,000 books to nearly 4,000 children. This week, it made its first donation to an elementary school, giving more than 1,800 books to kindergartners and first-graders at Bridger Elementary School in southeast Portland.

But the group’s primary focus remains preschool. And for good reason. According to a research paper published in 1990 by the MIT Press, children from

middle-income homes have been read aloud to for an average of 1,200 hours by the time they reach school. That number plummets to 25 hours for low-income children, the study said.

Sixty-one percent of low-income children in the United States have no children’s books at home, according to one 1996 study of reading literacy.

These children arrive at school already far behind. They tend to have less exposure to letters and their sounds, rhyming and even how to turn a page.

As for Kragero’s son Tyson, he still treasures the books he got from the book bank months ago.

Tucked into his bundle from the book bank were books about the jungle and safari animals — Tyson’s favorites.

“He still reads them,” Kragero said. “He hasn’t been bored.

There were so many, we still go through them constantly.”

California medical marijuana patient loses court appeal

By William McCall The Associated Press

PORTLAND — The Oregon Court of Appeals has upheld a marijuana conviction against a California man who argued his California doctor had authorized medical use.

Joel Berringer was stopped for speeding in the Portland metro area in November 2006 while taking a friend from Nevada County, Calif., to Fort Lewis in Washington state.

A Clackamas County sheriff’s deputy who smelled marijuana arrested Berringer despite a letter he produced from his California doctor recommending medical marijuana for asthma and other health problems.

Berringer eventually pleaded guilty to marijuana possession but reserved his right to appeal, arguing that California law authorized him to possess up to two pounds of marijuana.

He also argued that failure to honor the letter and his status as a medical marijuana patient interfered with his constitutional right to travel.

In an opinion by Judge David Schuman, the Court of

Appeals rejected those arguments, ruling that Oregon does not enforce California medical marijuana laws.

The court said only Oregon law applies, and both residents and nonresidents must apply for an Oregon medical marijuana card to allow possession and use.

The requirement for an Oregon card does not infringe on the right to travel “even if Oregon law made access to medical marijuana more difficult for nonresidents,” the court said.

The opinion also said the sheriff’s deputy had the authority to investigate any violation of Oregon marijuana laws that “did not end when he saw defendant’s California physician’s recommendation.”

The court noted that Berringer had slightly more than two pounds of marijuana when he was arrested, which was over the California limit.

In court documents filed with his appeal, his attorney said Berringer “packed in a hurry and did not realize he had more than two pounds at the time he was stopped in Oregon.”

O B Missing snake comes out of hiding GRANTS PASS — An 8foot-boa constrictor named d’Artagnan is back home in Grants Pass after slithering out of its cage and disappearing for two weeks.

The snake showed itself on the kitchen floor Monday evening.

Anthony Doherty, roommate of the snake owner, Chris Sheldon, told The Grants Pass Daily Courier they tore up the apartment looking for it, and couldn’t find it, so feared it had gone outside when a door was left open.

But apparently the snake was hiding under the kitchen counter all the time. Doherty says that’s the only place they couldn’t look.

As a reward, Doherty says they gave the snake a rat.

State investigating anti-tea party teacher PORTLAND — A state board will investigate whether a Beaverton teacher was on his own time when he was hatching a scheme to discredit conservative activists.

Jason Levin has gotten national attention for a “Crash the Tea Party” Web site that calls for tea party opponents to infiltrate the events and behave outlandishly.

That raised suspicion he was doing political work during schools hours. He’s told KATUTV that’s not the case.

The Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission opened an investigation Wednesday. Melody Hanson, the agency’s director of professional practices, told The Oregonian there was concern over possible neglect of duty.

A spokeswoman says the Beaverton district also would conduct an investigation.

The bridge spans the Rogue River at Rock Point, a narrow stretch of water downstream from Gold Hill on old Highway 99. The bridge has been closed since September 2009.

The Rock Point Bridge was built in 1920. The narrow two-lane span is structurally safe, but considered “functionally obsolete.”

Transportation officials say they could have sped up the reconstruction, but not without adding to the cost of the project.

Bed-to-bed hiking trail set for Blue Mountains BAKER CITY — A Europeanstyle bed-to-bed hiking trail is coming to northeastern Oregon’s Blue Mountains.

The first phase of the Blue Mountain Heritage Trail will be ready to hike when the snow melts. Organizer Dick Hentze of Baker City says the 870-mile trail uses parts of about 2,000 miles of existing U.S. Forest Service hiking and horse trails.

The trail is designed to be hiked or ridden horseback in 10to 12-mile daily segments. Hikers then ride shuttles from trailheads to the nearest lodge, motel or bed-and-breakfast.

Furlough Friday and meteorology

T

omorrow, scores of state offices will close for the second of six Furlough Fridays scheduled during 2010. We’re not going to honor the occasion by taking a Furlough Friday

of our own, as we did last month. We have something much more fun in mind: stealing.

We’re plundering the March 29 newsletter of the Oregon Forest Industries Council, which notes with more than a little incredulity that a pair of meteorologists with the Oregon Department of Forestry got the last Furlough Friday, March 19, off.

The work schedules of two meteorologists may seem trivial given the full scope of the furlough force, which includes more than 26,000 state employees. But their story, which we discussed with the Department of Forestry, shows what can happen when the desire to make a grand gesture overwhelms common sense.

You’re probably wondering why the Department of Forestry employs meteorologists at all. There’s a good reason for this, as explained to us by ODF information officer Rod Nichols.

Private landowners who want to burn forest debris — slash left over from a harvest, for instance — request a burning permit, typically from a local ODF office. Before giving the go-ahead to burn, district employees consult daily burn forecasts produced by the agency’s meteorologists, who “check the wind and weather ..., review the number of burns already scheduled in the area, and consider the amount of slash and the acreage proposed to be burned,” says Nichols.

Given the changeable nature of the weather and the potentially conflicting schedules of neighboring landowners, securing a burning permit is a different thing entirely than, say, popping in at the DMV office to

get a driver’s license. When the conditions are right, forest owners really need that meteorological blessing.

There is a sensible solution to the Furlough Friday problem, of course, and it’s one you’ve probably figured out already. The Department of Forestry, which recently hired a third meteorologist, should stagger furlough days, ensuring that at least one person is on duty during normal working hours.

But this isn’t an option. “The furlough days are set at the governor’s office level,” says Nichols. “And so, even though it creates some challenges for people on the ground, obviously those were handed down to us ...”

As senseless as this schedule might be, at least stymied forest owners can take some satisfaction from the knowledge that their inconvenience helps the state’s ailing general fund, right? Don’t bet on it. According to Nichols, the ODF’s meteorologists “are almost entirely funded by user fees” like those paid by private landowners who want to burn their slash.

To torture a cliché, Furlough Friday is a policy that fails to see the trees for the forest. At the very least, the Department of Forestry and other agencies should have the freedom to assign furlough days in a manner that preserves service levels. Because no such freedom appears to exist, the ODF’s meteorologists won’t be working tomorrow either.

Audit uncovers tax cheats

A

s reading goes, audits are about as exciting as “The Brothers Karamazov” ... in the original Russian. But Oregonians who take the trouble to file their tax returns every year should be glad that some poor souls at the Secretary of State’s Office produce the things. Because they do, thousands of tax cheats could soon find themselves under the state’s magnifying glass.

Released this month, the audit found that the state Department of Revenue’s “current process for identifying non-filers is not comprehensive or data-intensive.” We’ll say.

Using data already at the DOR’s fingertips, the auditors discovered more than 200,000 people who failed to file state tax returns in 2007. This data resides in vast IRS files that are loaded into the DOR’s enforcement system. This system, DOR employees told auditors, “has the ability to generate a large-scale match between federal data and state filing data. ...

However, staff has not yet used this feature ...”

The auditors, on the other hand, did match state and federal data, discovering in the process 223,000 peo-

ple who’d filed federal returns from Oregon addresses in 2007, but not Oregon returns. After eliminating a number of groups, including people with taxable gross income of $25,000 or less, the auditors narrowed down the list to 66,000. These “non-filers,” also known as tax cheats, owe the state an estimated $109 million.

For various reasons, the auditors reasoned, the state is unlikely to collect more than half of this sum over the next five years. But 54 million bucks is still big money. Moreover, by bringing these people into the tax fold, the state is more likely to see tax payments in future years. And because many tax cheats are repeat offenders, the state stands a chance of recovering unpaid taxes from years prior to 2007.

Few people, we suspect, truly enjoy paying income taxes. What helps to make the financial hit and the tedium of filling out a return tolerable is the knowledge that everybody’s in more or less the same boat. For helping to reel in thousands of people who’ve jumped overboard, the Secretary of State’s Office deserves credit.

My Nickel’s Worth Funds for food One of the glaring facts of life in these tough times is how nearly 14,000 people in the tri-county area need to access NeighborImpact’s emergency food supplies to keep from going hungry. Currently, Neighborlmpact is conducting a drive to raise $100,000 to double the size of its freezer capacity, expand the storage space for nonperishable foods and increase the total amount of food recovered locally to 800,000 pounds annually.

Twenty-five thousand dollars toward the ultimate goal has already been donated by the Oregon Food Bank. The remainder needs to come from people in the community. We urge anyone who can afford to give something, to please contribute to this worthwhile fundraising effort.

Wells is committed to excellence and dedicated to providing the best learning environments possible for students and teachers.

I’m confident Wells, as circuit judge, would bring a strong sense of integrity, honesty, and fairness to the bench.

He’s an individual with solid ties to the community and has a track record that supports his interest in the job. Please

consider Wells Ashby when you fill out your May election ballot. Wells is truly an outstanding choice.

Population problem I have a question. With two very serious and difficult problems facing humankind — global warming and overpopulation (which is increasing at an alarming rate with an estimated current total of slightly more than six billion) — why is global warming currently receiving much coverage in the national media and overpopulation being virtually ignored?

Free golf In the March 31 Bulletin there was an article stating the city of Redmond may have to give the Juniper Golf Club $600,000 to keep it running. I would like to point out that articles like this always say the state, county or city must pay when in fact it is the taxpayer who must pay. In this case the article should have said, “the city of Redmond taxpayer will have to pay $600,000 to keep Juniper Golf Club running.”

With this in mind and assuming there are 10,000 city of Redmond taxpayers (big assumption), each taxpayer’s share of this debt would average $60.

The article went on to state the course wants to attract more golfers.

I would like to suggest each Redmond

taxpayer be offered a free ($60) round of golf. The golf course could stipulate hours and days of the week, such as after 1 p.m. on Monday through Friday and require $10 be spent at the restaurant. I might show up with a guest, rent a cart or become a member or even a restaurant regular. Think of the possibilities with 10,000 taxpayers.

Then again, let’s assume the worst possibility. No new members, no cart rentals, no new restaurant customers.

The city and golf course would be expressing their appreciation to the taxpayer who ensures their existence.

We all pay Oregon continues to spend way beyond its means. Our representatives vote their support for a 9 percent state budget increase and increase wages and salaries for state employees in the middle of a recession. Don’t worry, though. The wealthy will pay for it all now that Measures 66 and 67 passed.

Don’t believe such blatant propaganda. We are all paying. I just received my automobile registration renewal from the Oregon DMV. My registration fee went up from $104 in 2008 to $186 — a gigantic 79 percent increase. Where is the outrage for such an obscene increase? The mainstream media gets all excited and demonizes the insurers when they raise prices by 11.6 percent but continually gives the free-spending Oregon government a pass.

Delayed satisfaction at the core of Obama’s governing style WASHINGTON — e are beginning to learn that the Obama presidency will be an era of substantial but deferred accomplishments — perhaps always to be accompanied by a sense of continuing crisis. His vaunted “cool” allows him to wait without impatience and to endure without visible despair.

It asks the same of his constituents.

These thoughts were generated by the events of the past few days in Washington, when a glut of 46 visiting heads of state caused a massive traffic tie-up and a veritable windstorm of talk, all to yield a promise that two years hence, we may see major steps toward control of loose nuclear weapons and their fuel.

A year ago in Prague, Barack Obama — treading deliberately and dramatically further down the path of disarmament than his predecessors of either party had dared to go — drew his portrait of a world substantially freed from the fear of atomic annihilation.

W

This week, responding to his leadership, the nations of the world — with a few notable exceptions on both sides of the Arab-Israeli divide — sent their leaders to Washington to signal their assent to that aspiration.

Two years from now, they or their successors will reconvene and we will be able to measure how much — or little — progress they have made individually and collectively toward this noble goal.

This is the characteristic pattern, we can now begin to see, of Obama’s great initiatives. It is repeated in health care, in economic policymaking, and — it seems safe to speculate — it is likely to be followed in education, energy, the environment and fiscal policy as well.

Take health care. More than a year ago, Obama outlined a vision of a redesigned system, covering far more people at substantially lower per capita cost. He was notably sparing in how to get there and for many months, it was not clear that Congress would take up

DAVID BRODER the challenge. In the end, a law was enacted that addressed exactly those goals. But it will be four years at least before its key components are in place and another four beyond that until its financing mechanism will really be tested.

Take the economy. The “emergency” measures designed to deal with the manufacturing calamities and the overall housing and economic crises Obama inherited were quickly passed in 2009. But none was expected to show its results at that moment. For month after month, there was no sign that the downward spiral had been slowed, and only now, more than a year later,

are there enough positive signs — in employment, in sales and in profits — that many economists are willing to talk about recovery.

It is very likely that if and when Congress responds to other challenges Obama has given it — to restructure financial regulation, rationalize energy and education and environmental policies, and slow the ruinous growth of entitlement programs — the pattern will be the same: incremental steps leading to possible future breakthroughs.

For a nation whose culture has produced a psychology demanding instant gratification, this politics of deferred satisfaction is something not easily learned. In his political career, Obama has been a perfect embodiment of an impatient generation. He rocketed through his few years in Springfield to capture a Senate seat from Illinois, then quickly became impatient with its ways and set his cap for the presidency.

But somewhere, he has learned the virtues of patience when it comes to governing.

I think it is welcome to have a president whose vision extends beyond the duration of his own term of office, though it entails a political risk that he could be cut off by the voters before any of his hopes are realized. If the current high level of public frustration fuels a Republican resurgence well beyond the normal midterm losses for a president’s party, it is possible that next year might see a serious effort to repeal the health care act and reject his initiatives in international affairs as well.

I do not think this is likely. But a president who is not driven by a compulsion to provide instant gratification for his constituents must also cultivate adult patience in them. My bet would be that Obama has that capacity.

Helen Ranney did early sickle cell research

By Denise Gellene New York Times News Service

Dr. Helen Ranney, a hematologist whose experiments in the 1950s elucidated the genetic basis of sickle cell disease, an inherited form of anemia that affects one in 500 African-Americans, died on April 5 in San Diego. She was 89.

Her death was announced by the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine. Ranney was a faculty member there for more than 30 years and a former head of the department of medicine, the first woman at a major American medical school to hold that post.

As a postdoctoral student in hematology more than 50 years ago, Ranney developed a simple method of distinguishing normal hemoglobin from the abnormal hemoglobin found in patients with sickle cell disease.

National security specialist Arnold Kanter

By Adam Bernstein The Washington Post

Mike Zwerin, jazz musician who became music critic

By Mark McDonald New York Times News Service

Mike Zwerin, a jazz trombonist and bass trumpeter who became a prominent jazz critic and author, died April 2 in Paris, where he lived, after a long illness. He was 79.

The cause was a blood disease, according to his son, Ben. When he was 18, nervously sitting in with Art Blakey’s group at Minton’s Playhouse in Harlem, Zwerin was noticed by the trumpeter Miles Davis, who complimented the young player and used him briefly in his influential group at the Royal Roost in Midtown Manhattan.

Zwerin later played with the big bands of Maynard Ferguson and Claude Thornhill. But it was as a critic and an author that he made his mark on jazz.

He was the jazz columnist for The Village Voice in New York from 1964 until 1969, then moved to Europe and served as that paper’s European editor until 1971.

He also wrote for Rolling Stone and other magazines.

In 1979 he became a music critic for The International Herald Tribune in Paris, and in 2005 he became a music critic for Bloomberg News.

Arnold Kanter, 65, a national security and arms control specialist who became a top State Department official and adviser to the defense and intelligence communities, died April 10 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The cause was acute myeloid leukemia.

Since 1994, Kanter had been affiliated with the Scowcroft Group, an international investment advisory firm, where he helped companies seeking business opportunities in China and Russia.

The consultancy was started by former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft, for whom Kanter had served from 1989 to 1991 as chief arms control specialist on the National Security Council.

Kanter was undersecretary of state for political affairs, the State Department’s thirdranking job, from 1991 to 1993 and had responsibility for running the daily operations of U.S. foreign policy.

Scowcroft said Kanter’s greatest talent was transforming grand-scale policy ideas into concepts that a bureaucracy could implement.

Over the years, Kanter was a major participant in shaping the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty and other arms negotiations involving Russia and North Korea.

In a statement, CIA Director Leon Panetta called Kanter “one of America’s brightest minds on intelligence and foreign policy.”

Kanter taught political science and public policy at Ohio State University and the University of Michigan before joining the State Department in 1977.

Skin Continued from C1 “We’re trying to serve people who don’t have access to regular medical care,” Katz said.

Hall, 38, who will be volunteering at the event, said people with the greatest risk of developing skin cancer are those with a family history or heavy sun exposure. People who spend time basking in the sun without applying sunscreen or wearing protective clothing may increase their risks, he said.

Teater is on the city’s Juniper Ridge Advisory Board and the OSU-Cascades Board of Advisors, and he is a member of the Oregon Governors Council of Economic Advisors. He has said public service is “the rent you pay” for living in a community.

Teater said he has no aspirations for higher public office but expects to continue in public service through his volunteer positions.

He cited budget issues and

Resorts Continued from C1 Resort jobs paid more on average than other leisure and hospitality sector jobs, but about $10,000 less than average salaries across all industries in 2006, according to the report.

Sunriver Resorts’ 12-page report, “Benefits of destination resorts to Deschutes County” focuses on the positive impacts of the developments and was completed in February 2009.

For example, resort owners at Sunriver Resort, Eagle Crest and Pronghorn paid approximately $1.7 million total in property taxes in 2005-06, according to the report. A Sunriver Resort representative could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Central Oregon LandWatch’s 103-page report concludes that the costs of destination resorts outweigh the benefits. It was completed in March 2009. The LandWatch report focuses on the county-approved but as yet unbuilt Thornburgh resort, planned near Tumalo.

Erik Kancler, executive director of Central Oregon LandWatch, said the organization chose Thornburgh for the study over existing resorts because it

Skin cancer may come in different shapes, sizes and colors.

Most skin cancers are curable if detected early.

“If we looked at you, and ... your skin was perfect, we’d say ‘Great, you look good,’ and that would be that,” Hall said. “If you had a thing that looked like a melanoma, we’d say ‘ ... that would need a biopsy.’”

Free screenings will be offered by appointment only, Katz said. The full-body inspection is expected to take about 30 minutes with paperwork. Hall said he will inspect

for melanomas, which are irregular dark black moles, and more common types of cancer like basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas.

“If it’s not caught, melanoma, especially, can be deadly,” Hall said. “But squamous cell can be deadly as well. The longer that any of the skin cancers go, the harder they are to treat and the more (pain and suffering) they cause.”

venous drug use is on the rise locally, Johnson said, but she’s seen a sharp shift in just the last few years — in the past, around 90 percent of users were injecting methamphetamine, now it’s a roughly 50-50 split between methamphetamine and heroin.

Johnson said it could be another five to 10 years before its clear what effect the needle exchange is having on HIV and Hepatitis C infection rates locally. Despite the restrictions on the use of county funds, John-

son said county commissioners have been largely supportive of the program, and she expects it will continue into the future.

“We’ve been around for a while now,” she said. “As far as I know, people may not like that we have to do this, but once they understand the purpose, they can’t really argue with the research.”

infrastructure problems as particularly pressing concerns for the city.

“And whoever is elected, if they are new to it, there is a sixto nine- to 12-month learning curve there,” Teater said. He added that he would be “happy” to bring his successor up to speed.

“It does take about a year to feel really comfortable with the issues,” Capell said. “But it is nice to have a mix of fresh perspectives as well as people with experience.”

Only one person — Chuck Arnold — has publicly expressed an interest in Teater’s council seat. Arnold, who has been executive director of the Bend Downtowner’s Association since 2006, announced last month his intention to run for Teater’s seat.

Arnold, 42, said Wednesday

was the latest resort application to come before the county, so it had the most recent information about potential impacts.

LandWatch’s report also raises questions about information developers have provided in resort applications to the county, such as the estimated property taxes for Thornburgh resort that were triple the realistic amount, a consultant for LandWatch found. “This was partly due to use of overinflated real estate values that may have seemed realistic during the 2004-05 boom period, but are out of line with current real estate prices and the assessed values at the nearby Eagle Crest Resort,” consultant Fodor & Associates wrote.

Kancler said he had hoped the report would prompt more in-depth studies from resorts, and was disappointed last year when this did not happen. Kancler said he favors the county hiring someone to study resort impacts.

“I’m supportive of anyone taking a real look at this issue and contributing to the literature that’s out there,” Kancler said.

In fact, Deschutes County officials said LandWatch’s report sparked the idea of a county resort study.

that he’s hoping for an opponent in the race.

“I think what is really important is that there is more than one person in the race in order to create a dialogue and have the community hear about the issues from more than one perspective,” Arnold said. “So I wholeheartedly invite someone, and hope that someone else will throw their hat into the ring.”

Councilor Jodie Barram also has said she will run for her current position.

Council candidates cannot begin collecting signatures supporting their petitions to run for office until June 2. To run for a seat, candidates must collect 150 qualified signatures and file their petitions by Aug. 24.

Lelack said resort representatives told him they appreciated LandWatch starting the discussion, but “there was disagreement of the methodology used in the study and the opinion it was issued by an advocacy organization not neutral third party.”

Baney said LandWatch’s report is “fairly one-sided” and contradicts information she heard from resort consultant and lobbyist Linda Swearingen about the large amount of taxes resorts pay. “And I thought, since Deschutes County has the lion’s share in Oregon of resorts, it would be nice to have a neutral perspective of what the costs are to the community around destination resorts.”

The County Commission will likely discuss whether to move ahead with resort study at a May 5 meeting, Lelack said.

Marie Harry October 1, 1919 - April 7, 2010

Lifetime Deschutes County resident of 94 years, Marie Harry passed away into heaven on April 7th, 2010, in the company of her great niece, family and many caring friends.

Marie was the 6th child of 9, born to Christian and Elizabeth Harry who owned and operated a 120 acre dairy farm (Swiss Alpine View), with their children at the corner of Wickiup Avenue and Helmholtz Way, where they farmed hay, grain, fruits and vegetables with dairy products from their Brown Swiss Cows which the great town of Redmond, Oregon enjoyed for many years.

Aunt Marie enjoyed her morning breakfast listening to the songs of many birds outside her kitchen window, and she loved to grow and share her award winning roses and flowers to friends, family or to anyone that needed a kind hello……

Marie is survived by her brother Julius Harry and a loving extended family. In heavenly peace Marie will join her parents Christian and Elizabeth and siblings, Alice, Anna, Theodore, Margaret, John, Rosa and Laura in eternal life.

The Lord has a beautiful place for Aunt Marie, she is a beautiful lady, who will be loved always and missed deeply…..

Woman’s wrongful death suit dismissed The Associated Press MONTESANO, Wash. — A judge has dismissed a wrongful death lawsuit against Grays Harbor County that was brought by the husband of a Beaverton woman who became lost and died of hypothermia on a remote logging road. Delbert Johnson accuses 911 dispatchers and law enforcement of letting his wife die.

The lawsuit filed in December 2008 sought to force changes on the county plus $3 million in damages.

Beverly Johnson, 69, had a history of seizures that caused

“It’s clear 911 was on the phone with the guy who was following her and willing to stay with her and yet he was never told she was missing or endangered.”

— James Coon, lawyer who plans to appeal dismissal her to become disoriented. She was reported missing Jan. 27, 2007, after failing to return home from the Beaverton library.

The same day a motorist reported Johnson’s car to the Grays Harbor 911 Center as a suspected drunken driver. Dis-

patchers checked the license plate and learned it was associated with a missing or endangered woman. But they never told police because officers were busy with a “shots fired” call. Johnson was found dead 10 days later on Washington a logging road.

Superior Court Judge Mark McCauley agreed to the county’s request for a summary dismissal of the lawsuit on April 5 because police and dispatchers are immune from lawsuits.

Johnson’s Portland lawyer, James Coon, said he’ll appeal the decision.

“It’s clear 911 was on the phone with the guy who was following her and willing to stay with her and yet he was never told she was missing or endangered,” Coon said. “There are exemptions to the public duty doctrine and we think we qualify.”

As goes the price of feed, so goes the price of beef and lamb and the cost to keep, of course, a horse.

According to Rick Byrd, of La Pine Feed, orchard grass is going for $10 per 85-pound bale these days. Alfalfa is running $18 for a 160-pound bale.

Each year, the cost varies according to the supply and the demand.

If the mule deer out in the fields near Silver Lake were any indication, demand is high. They streamed

Other critters had their eyes on the commodity.

Russ Scott peered out across the field and smiled. A sage rat streaked for his hole, head low to the ground.

Another stood on his haunches like a picket pin, about eight inches high.

La Pine hoop star Conditt commits to Oregon Tech Kassi Conditt, a La Pine High School senior who last month was named Oregon’s Class 4A girls basketball player of the year, has committed to join the women’s basketball program at the Oregon Institute of Kassi Conditt Technology in Klamath Falls.

According to a news release from Oregon Tech, Owls head coach Scott Meredith announced on Wednesday the addition of Conditt, a 6-foot-1-inch post player.

Conditt, who helped La Pine to the 4A state championship as a junior in 2009, last season averaged 17.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.4 blocked shots per game in leading the Hawks to a thirdplace finish at state.

“To say we are excited about Kassi choosing Oregon Tech is a huge understatement,” Meredith said in the release. “Kassi is an impact player whose physical prowess and history of success are well-documented.”

Oregon Tech plays in the NAIA Cascade Collegiate Conference. The Owls are coming off a 15-16 season in which they were 8-10 in CCC play, tied for fifth place in the 10-team conference.

An accomplished shot put and discus thrower, Conditt is also expected to compete in track and field at Oregon Tech.

Redmond’s Travis Simpson clears 5 feet, 10 inches in the high jump on Wednesday during a Central Valley Conference double dual meet at Redmond High School. Simpson won the event with a leap of 6-2.

Redmond boys win two in double dual Bulletin staff report REDMOND — Facing wind, rain and hail the Redmond boys managed to best both North Salem and South Salem in a Central Valley Conference track and field double dual meet at Redmond Wednesday.

The Panthers girls came up short, losing to North Salem and South Salem in the league contest.

The Redmond boys scored the bulk of their points in the throwing events thanks to first- and secondplace sweeps by Panthers competitors. Duel Christiansen and Ron Perkins finished first and second in discus, Zach Parsley and Tan-

ner Manselle went one-two in javelin, and Perkins and Christiansen placed first and second, respectively, in shot put.

Also taking wins for Redmond were Matt Miyamoto in pole vault, Robert Borden in long jump and Travis Simpson in high jump.

“I thought South and North Salem were going to be some our toughest competition,” said Redmond coach Scott Brown.

The Panthers (2-0 CVC) boys squad topped North Salem 75.5-46.5 and bested South Salem 70-52.

If Redmond keeps its momentum with wins in next week’s dual

against West Salem and Sprague, the Panthers will be in a position to snag the league title.

“Heck, we could have a trophy,” said Brown.

On the girls side, South Salem defeated Redmond 88-43 while North Salem handed the Panthers (0-2 CVC) a 75-56 loss.

Redmond’s Haley Jordan provided a bright spot for the girls team, winning the javelin by 17 feet with a mark of 121 feet, 8 inches.

Kine Bruland took first in shot put and Sarah MacKenzie was first across the line in the 400-meter event.

PORTLAND — Stephen Curry scored 42 points and the depleted Golden State Warriors finished their season with a 122-116 victory over the playoff-bound Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.

The short-handed Trail Blazers finished as the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference and will face the third-seeded Phoenix Suns when the first-round series kicks off on Sunday night.

The Suns defeated the Utah Jazz 100-86 in their regular-season finale. Portland is 2-1 against Phoenix this season.

“I think we’ll match up against them well,” said Blazers rookie Jeff Pendergraph, who had a career-high 23 points. “Going into that series — almost any series — we’re going in as underdogs. I think that plays to our favor. We’ve been that the whole season so it’s really nothing new for us.”

Monta Ellis finished with 34 for the Warriors, who were down to just five players because of injuries.

“Bottom line is that we played a spectacular, a great performance from all five guys that could play,” Warriors coach Don Nelson said.

Mountain View’s Nick Smith, right, keeps possession against Sprague defenders Saturday at Mountain View High School. The Cougars are fielding a squad for the first time this season.

High school lacrosse has been gathering momentum in Central Oregon for several years now. Last season, Summit made local lacrosse history by going undefeated in its seven-team High Desert League and qualifying for the Oregon High School Lacrosse Association state tournament. Bend also earned a state berth, further bolstering lacrosse’s reputation in Central Oregon.

This spring, Mountain View marks another first for area lacrosse programs, fielding a varsity squad for the first time. Participation numbers continue to rise for most teams as the popularity of the sport sweeps through area high schools.

Will the trend continue?

Bend High coach Pete Casgar thinks so, especially given the development of youth leagues sponsored by local park and recreation programs.

“We’re starting to get kids that already have stick skills,” Casgar explains. “We don’t have to spend time teaching them the basics.”

First-year Mountain View coach Dan Leahy is

2010 PREP LACROSSE PREVIEW excited about taking his upstart program to the varsity level. (Mountain View has fielded only junior varsity teams for the last two years.)

“We’ve certainly taken it head-on,” Leahy offers. In 2008, the Cougars’ first year, 18 players turned out for the team. This year, the turnout at Mountain View is 40.

Leading the Cougars is a trio of senior defensemen: Chris Barber, Joel Donahue and Grady Serrao.

Leahy is modest when discussing the team’s goals for the season, but he notes that his players are plenty happy just to be on the field.

“It’s exciting to have another team in the league,” notes Bend’s Casgar about the first-year Mountain View squad.

Summit, already off to strong start at 5-0 — including a win over South Salem, last season’s North Valley League champion — hopes to repeat last year’s run of success.

NFL

Broncos trade WR Marshall to Dolphins The Associated Press MIAMI — Bill Parcells, who knows a thing or two about talented, temperamental receivers, decided Brandon Marshall is worth the trouble.

Parcells and the Miami Dolphins also decided Marshall is worth two second-round draft picks, and perhaps even a contract extension making him one of the NFL’s bestpaid pass catchers.

Miami acquired the high-maintenance Pro Bowl wideout Wednesday for a secondround pick next week and another next year.

Once in Miami, he was expected to sign the long-term deal he has been seeking for more than a year.

Marshall fills the Dolphins’ most glaring need: a go-to guy who will loosen up defenses for their potentially potent ground game and young, strong-armed quarterback Chad Henne.

However, the former Central Florida star returns to the Sunshine State with plenty of issues. While he caught at least 100 passes each of the past three years and made the Pro Bowl the past two seasons, the Broncos were willing to part with Marshall because he became a chronic headache.

He has a history of domestic violence, clashed with coach Josh McDaniels and was summoned to the office of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

That didn’t dissuade Parcells, who had mixed results working with headline-making receivers Terry Glenn in New England, Keyshawn Johnson in New York and Terrell Owens in Dallas.

The Dolphins’ Marshall plan is unknown, because the ever-secretive team didn’t comment beyond a brief news release. But he’s their biggest addition since Venus and Serena Williams, who added glamour to the team’s ownership group last year but failed to catch a single pass.

Miami’s receiving corps wasn’t too productive, either. The Dolphins totaled two touchdown passes of 20 yards or more last season, fewest in the NFL. Marshall provides production. Last year he caught 101 passes, including an NFL-record 21 in a loss at Indianapolis, for 1,120 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns.

Marshall signed his $2.512 million tender Tuesday to facilitate a trade. His final destination was a surprise, because the Dolphins had indicated little interest previously.

• NFL set to unveil schedule: The NFL says it will release the 2010 regular-season schedule Tuesday night. Usually, the schedule is announced in late March or early April, but several adjustments are being made this year. The league wants as many divisional games as possible in the final two weeks, hoping it makes late-season matchups more meaningful and prevents teams that have clinched playoff berths from resting starters.

• Roethlisberger works out: Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is taking part in offseason conditioning work for the first time this spring. Roethlisberger reported to the Steelers’ practice facility Wednesday, one day after he met with commissioner Roger Goodell in New York to discuss the twotime Super Bowl winner’s offfield problems.

• Leaf gets probation: Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf on Wednesday was sentenced to 10 years of probation after pleading guilty to eight felony drug charges in Texas.

State District Judge John B. Board also fined Leaf $20,000.

Leaf pleaded guilty to seven counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and one count of delivery of a simulated controlled substance.

Baseball • Ellsbury out again: The Boston Red Sox will likely hold injured left fielder Jacoby Ellsbury out through the rest of this road trip. The Madras High School and Oregon State University product was out of the lineup Wednesday at Minnesota for the second straight game because of bruised ribs.

Manager Terry Francona said Ellsbury probably wouldn’t play today against the Twins, either, and would sit out until the team returns home Friday. Francona says Ellsbury is doing better, but still sore and having trouble rotating his body. He was hurt in a collision with teammate Adrian Beltre during a chase for a foul ball Sunday at Kansas City. Francona says as much as he’d like to have his leadoff hitter in the lineup he wants to be cautious about bringing him back.

• Phils’ Rollins goes on DL: Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins is heading to the 15-day disabled list with a calf strain.

General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. on Wednesday said an MRI revealed a mild to moderate strain of Rollins’ right calf. Amaro says he hopes it will take two to four weeks for Rollins to recover. Rollins, the 2007 NL MVP, was injured during warmups before Monday’s home opener against Washington. The 31-year-old three-time All-Star was off to a hot start, hitting .391 and scoring eight runs in seven games.

• Angels put closer on DL: Los Angeles Angels closer Brian Fuentes has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained back, the latest hiccup in the team’s slow start. The move was made Wednesday, retroactive to April 6. Fuentes, who hasn’t pitched since opening day, said he tweaked his back while lifting weights last week. The stiffness left him unable to throw until he played catch Tuesday.

• Congress urges baseball to ban smokeless tobacco: After hounding Major League Baseball and its players union over steroids, Congress now wants the sport to ban smokeless tobacco. At a hearing Wednesday, House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Henry Waxman, a California Democrat, and Health Subcommittee chairman Frank Pallone, a New Jersey Democrat, called on baseball and its players to agree to bar major leaguers from using chew, dip or similar products during games. MLB executive VP Robert Manfred and MLB Players Association chief labor counsel David Prouty told lawmakers they agree that smokeless tobacco is harmful — Manfred said a ban in the majors is “a laudable goal” — but both pointed out that any ban would have to be agreed to through collective bargaining.

Cycling • Armstrong’s team to race in New Mexico: Lance Armstrong’s Team RadioShack has added the Tour of the Gila in southern New Mexico to its race calendar. Team manager Johan Bruyneel announced on his blog that the annual stage

race would allow some of the team’s American riders to compete before the Tour of California in May. The Gila runs from April 28 to May 2. Bruyneel didn’t say which team members would race in New Mexico.

Armstrong and teammates Levi Leipheimer and Chris Horner were at last year’s Tour of the Gila.

• Bos wins opener of stage race: Theo Bos of Netherlands has won the first stage of the Vuelta de Castilla and Leo in Spain, while Tour de France champion Alberto Contador of Spain was 19th in the same time. Denis Menchov of Russia, another prerace favorite, finished 47th, also in the same time as Bos.

Prep sports • Iowa coach killer gets life: A judge sentenced a former high school football player to life in prison Wednesday, telling him he had chosen to commit an evil act in killing his former coach, Ed Thomas. Mark D. Becker, 24, will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole for gunning down Thomas at the Aplington-Parkersburg High School weight room on June 24, 2009 in front of about 20 students.

A jury convicted Becker of first-degree murder in March, rejecting an insanity plea. The conviction carried a mandatory life sentence.

Basketball • Kentucky signs prep star: John Calipari’s rebuilding project at Kentucky is well under way. The Wildcats signed center Enes Kanter and received a commitment from guard Brandon Knight on Wednesday, two players Calipari hopes can step in and fill some of the holes left by the defection of five players to the NBA. Knight, a McDonald’s All-American and a twotime Gatorade National Player of the Year, donned a blue Kentucky hat after making his nationally televised announcement at Pine Crest High in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Knight chose Kentucky over Syracuse, Connecticut, Kansas and Florida.

The 6-foot-4, 185-pound Knight was ranked the No. 1 prospect in the country by Rivals.com.

• Wake Forest hires coach: Jeff Bzdelik has been announced as the new basketball coach at Wake Forest, ending a weeklong search for a replacement for Dino Gaudio. The former coach at Air Force and the NBA’s Denver Nuggets left Colorado after three seasons, where he was 36-58.

Auto racing • Hendrick signs Kahne to drive in 2012: Hendrick Motorsports landed yet another prized free agent, this time Kasey Kahne, in a complicated deal that apparently won’t begin until the 2012 season. With a full lineup already planned for 2011, there’s currently no room to plug Kahne in for next season. But his contract with Richard Petty Motorsports is up, and team owner Rick Hendrick didn’t want to miss an opportunity to sign the talented and popular 30-year-old driver. The announcement Wednesday

by Hendrick Motorsports said Kahne will replace Mark Martin in the No. 5 Chevrolet in 2012, and where Kahne will race next season is still being decided.

Tennis • Nadal, Djokovic advance: Rafael Nadal breezed past Thiemo de Bakker 6-1, 6-0 Wednesday to win his 28th straight match at the Monte Carlo Masters, while top-seeded Novak Djokovic also won in straight sets to advance to the third round. Australian Open finalist Andy Murray lost 6-2, 6-1 to Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany, dropping serve five times and failing to earn a single break point. Djokovic beat Florent Serra of France 6-2, 6-3 in his first clay-court match of the season.

• No. 1 seed moves on: Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark rallied to beat Barbora Zahlavova Strycovia of the Czech Republic 6-4, 61 Wednesday in her opening match at the Family Circle Cup in Charleston, S.C. Wozniacki will play on Thursday against 16th-seeded Patty Schnyder of Switzerland, who ousted Michelle Larcher De Brito of Portugal 6-3, 6-1. Three players withdrew from their secondround matches on Wednesday, including fifth-seeded Marion Bartoli of France.

Jason Vargas (1-1) pitched six innings for Seattle, following up on eight shutout innings from Doug Fister a night earlier, as the back of the rotation came through to give Seattle its first series victory of the season.

Only 10,610 were at Rogers Center to see the rout. With the Toronto Raptors playing across town for a spot in the NBA playoffs the city’s attention was elsewhere.

D4 Thursday, April 15, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Blazers Continued from D1 “Like the guys said, they want the video. They thought it was the greatest game they ever played in, to do something like that. You know what? They might be right.”

Portland was without forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was hospitalized the night before with a gastrointestinal virus. It is not expected the virus will keep Aldridge out of the playoffs.

Portland guard Brandon Roy, the team’s top scorer, missed his second game after doctors discovered he had a torn meniscus in his right knee.

Although he will require surgery, Roy said he would try to play with the injury during the playoffs. Doctors have told him he cannot make the injury worse, but he didn’t know if pain would prevent him from being effective.

Roy will likely be evaluated on Friday.

The Warriors head home after the game to a somewhat uncertain future.

Owner Chris Cohan has formally put the franchise up for sale. Coach Don Nelson has said he plans to return next year, the final season on his contract, and general manager Larry Riley said that would be the case barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Nelson has said he is committed to developing this young team to pave the way for an easier transition for his successor.

Portland, plagued by injuries this season, started a completely different lineup than it began the season with.

Gone are centers Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla, who both sustained injuries that required season-ending surgery. Forward Nicolas Batum missed the first half of the season after shoulder surgery, and swingman Rudy Fernandez had midseason back troubles.

Roy missed more than a dozen games with a sore hamstring earlier this year, before the meniscus tear was discovered.

In all, 13 Blazers have missed a combined 311 games because of injuries, second only to the Warriors this season.

NBA SCOREBOARD SUMMARIES

Don Ryan / The Associated Press

Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis, middle, goes to the basket between Portland Trail Blazers’ Andre Miller, left, and Dante Cunningham during the first half Wednesday in Portland.

Portland trailed much of the first quarter until Batum dunked to tie it at 33 going into the second quarter. Fernandez hit a three-pointer to put Portland ahead 38-35.

The Warriors stayed in it, paced by Ellis’ 18 first-half points, to lead 60-58 at the break.

Fernandez hit a three-pointer to put Portland up 78-73 in the third quarter, before Pedergraph’s dunk and Martell Webster’s three-pointer made it 91-85 heading into the fourth quarter.

But Curry’s three-pointer put Golden State back in front at 98-96, and Ellis’ layup made it 108-104 with 5:34 left.

Webster gave Portland back the lead with a layup and a free throw that made it 109-108 with 3:45 left.

Nelson argued at length with the officials after Devean George apparently fouled out — and the Warriors had no avail-

able healthy players. George was eventually allowed to return, but it cost the Warriors a technical.

Curry came back with his three-pointer that made it 113110, and after Pendergraph scored for Portland, Curry’s baseline jumper made it 115-112 with 1:49 left.

Curry added a pair of free throws with 1:07 to go and the Warriors led the rest of the way.

NOTES: Portland players came down from the seats during introductions, part of fan appreciation night. The team wore their “Rip City” white uniforms. The term dates back to the early 1970s, when it became the trademark of broadcaster Bill Schonley. ... Portland has won four straight against the Warriors at the Rose Garden. ...

Blazers center Marcus Camby was replaced by Dante Cunningham in the starting lineup just prior to tipoff.

NBA ROUNDUP

Suns top Jazz, earn No. 3 seed The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — Steve Nash had 11 assists in just three quarters, Amare Stoudemire finished with 20 points and seven rebounds, and the Phoenix Suns easily earned the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference by beating the Utah Jazz 100-86 on Wednesday night.

Channing Frye scored 10 of his 15 points in the second quarter and Goran Dragic added 12 points for the Suns, who capped their surge through the West standings by ending Utah’s 10-game home winning streak and ripping away the Jazz’s hopes of opening the playoffs in Utah.

The Jazz finish fifth in the West and will open the playoffs at Denver, which claimed the Northwest Division with and No. 4 seed by holding the tiebreaker over Utah.

Deron Williams led Utah with 24 points and Mehmet Okur finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds.

Carlos Boozer, Utah’s leading scorer and rebounder, was out with a strained muscle in his rib cage and the Jazz struggled inside without him, especially after Okur and Paul Millsap got in foul trouble.

Lacrosse Continued from D1 “The goal is to someday be able to compete with the Portland schools,” says first-year Summit coach John Lauerman.

Despite going undefeated last season in the High Desert League, the Storm proved no match for the Portland area’s West Linn High in the first round of the state playoffs, losing 17-2.

Last year, the Storm’s five senior all-league players combined for a total of 150 goals. But despite the loss of those standouts to graduation, most area coaches agree that Summit is the team to beat in the HDL this season.

Returning for the Storm are all-league players Peter Jones, a senior, and T-Roy Brown, a junior.

Stern: NBA will discuss resting of players The Associated Press NEW YORK — Players resting at the end of the regular season will be discussed among NBA executives, though commissioner David Stern doesn’t see anything coming of it.

With a healthy LeBron James set to miss his fourth straight game Wednesday night, Stern said he is putting the matter on the agenda for the board of governors meetings Thursday and Friday in New York.

“We’re troubled by it, because it would be our preference that healthy players play,” the commissioner said during his annual pre-playoffs conference call.

players — about 10 fewer than in recent seasons. However, the program is attracting players with a greater aptitude for the game now that the sport is more established, explains Bill Rexford, now in his fifth year as the Outlaws’ coach.

“I’m really optimistic,” Rexford says of Sisters’ chances in the HDL. He agrees that Summit will be a tough team to beat, but he expects the Outlaws to earn a state playoff berth by finishing among the league’s top four

“But sometimes players play at different levels of being nicked or bruised and we never wanted to get into the business of sending out truckloads of doctors analyzing whether a player was actually nicked or bruised, and we understand the issue.”

However, it sounds as if it will be left up to the teams to decide if they want their stars playing in meaningless games at the end of the regular season.

“I think it’s a fair item for discussion,” Stern said.

“I’m not sure that the policing function is something that the league and the owners will want to get deeply involved in, but it’s a point and I’ll be expressing my views to the governors in the executive session.”

teams.

Redmond rounds out the HDL and returns seniors Travis Skyle, Sam Jacobus, Nick Thomas and Jared Roberts from last year’s 46 team. Aside from their four experienced seniors, the Panthers, who finished fourth in the HDL last season, are a predominantly younger squad. And while firstyear Redmond coach Jackie Johnston is enthused about his 20-player turnout, the school’s biggest ever, he expects this season to be a building one for the

Panthers.

The popularity of lacrosse in Central Oregon is not limited to boys. Jackie Greenwood, a teacher at Summit High, is coaching a girls club team known as Bend Union that is composed of players from a number of area high schools. Bend Union expects to play a 14-game independent schedule this season against teams from across the state.

PREP ROUNDUP

PREP SCOREBOARD

Crook County boys take Madras invitational golf title READY TO THROW

Bulletin staff report WARM SPRINGS — Medalist Caleb Henry led Crook County to a first-place finish among area Intermountain Conference competitors and The DallesWahtonka Wednesday at the Madras Boys Invitational.

Henry posted a season-low score of 78 — 6 over par — that was part of the Cowboys’ winning score of 333 at Kah-Nee-Ta High Desert Resort & Casino.

Crook County head coach Zach Lampert noted that Wednesday’s invitational was the Cowboys’ third tournament in as many days.

“We didn’t do so well in the first tournament, so it was nice to bounce back,” Lampert said.

Madras’ Jasper Gerhardt tied for second among individuals with a score of 79. Gerhardt boosted the White Buffaloes to a second-place ranking and an afternoon total of 342.

“I’d say it was the best outing of the year for our boys,” said Madras head coach Spud Miller.

“Scoring conditions were very good.”

Paul Conduti of Mountain View, who placed fourth as an individual with a score of 80, led the Cougars to a third-place finish among five teams. Bend High finished fourth, ahead of The Dalles-Wahtonka.

Senators stun Penguins in opener of quarterfinal series The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — One game, and the Pittsburgh Penguins already know this. Nothing comes easy for a defending champion, not even the playoff series opener against a seemingly overmatched opponent.

Erik Karlsson and Chris Kelly scored on power plays in the second period and the Ottawa Senators ignored their underdog tag and the Penguins’ recent playoff success, surprising the Stanley Cup champions with a 5-4 victory in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference first-round series Wednesday night.

“Nobody’s picking us to win the series,” Ottawa forward Jason Spezza said.

Evgeni Malkin scored twice following penalties on Peter Regin, the first barely three minutes into the game, but the fourthseeded Penguins looked mostly flat and uninspired for long periods in beginning their bid to become the NHL’s first repeat champion since Detroit in 1998.

“We can’t hang our heads and just say something (like) ‘We didn’t execute,’” forward Alexei Ponikarovsky said. “We just have to do a better job. We’ve got to work and win the rest of them.”

Sidney Crosby, who piled up 15 points in his final five regular-season games, had three assists but was held without a shot until getting two in the third period. Ottawa constantly matched shut-down defensemen Anton Volchenkov and Chris Phillips against the Crosby line.

With their star so tightly covered, the Penguins — seemingly unsettled by Ottawa’s defensive pressure — were held to a single shot during a stretch lasting 21 minutes, 53 seconds following Malkin’s first goal.

The Senators, one of the biggest underdogs of the first-round qualifiers, went from being down a goal to being up 3-1 during that period as Regin, Chris Neil and Kelly scored — quieting a stand-

ing-room-only crowd of 17,132 that clearly arrived expecting another long playoff run by the home team.

“For sure we’d like to get to their d-men and have some speed through the neutral zone, but that starts in other places, too, and we have got to get there,” Crosby said.

Goalie Brian Elliott gave up four goals on 21 shots in his playoff debut, but made several big stops on Ponikarovsky and Malkin in the second period as the Penguins pressed to tie it following Malkin’s second goal, at 10:22.

Instead, the 19-year-old Karlsson restored Ottawa’s two-goal lead less than three minutes later, collecting a rebound of a shot from the left point by Matt Cullen that rebounded off Mike Fisher in front and wristing it into a wideopen corner of the net to make it 4-2.

No coincidence, the Senators said, that rookies Karlsson and Regin scored in their playoff debuts.

“They just feed off one another, if one scores, the other one’s got to score to match,” Neil said.

“They room together, they’re inseparable. We call them the twins.”

On this night, they were twice the trouble for Pittsburgh.

“They (the Senators) made it very difficult, and their forwards were coming back hard (on defense),” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. “They had five men around the net and made it tough to get to the net.”

The fifth-seeded Senators also got a fortuitous bounce on Kelly’s goal at 1:20 of the second that put them up 3-1. Chris Campoli was attempting to wrap the puck around the boards, but it took an odd deflection directly to Kelly close to the net with no defender near him. Kelly also had two assists.

“That bounce they got on that third goal ended up being the dif-

ference,” Crosby said.

In other conference quarterfinal series on Wednesday: Flyers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Devils . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 NEWARK, N.J. — Brian Boucher had 23 saves in his first playoff start in eight years and Philadelphia beat New Jersey in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference series. Chris Pronger and Mike Richards scored secondperiod goals, and the Flyers rode the momentum of claiming the NHL’s last playoff berth on the final day of the regular season to yet another win over New Jersey. While the Flyers are the No. 7 seed in the conference, they won five of six games against the Devils in the regular season and second-seeded New Jersey had few answers in the postseason against a rock-solid Boucher.

Coyotes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Red Wings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Derek Morris broke a tie early in the third period and assisted on two other power-play goals in Phoenix’s victory over Detroit in Game 1. Keith Yandle and Wojtek Wolski also scored, and Ilya Bryzgalov made 38 saves to help the Coyotes win a playoff game for the first time since April 20, 2002, the last year they were in the postseason. Tomas Holmstrom and Nicklas Lidstrom scored for Detroit.

Avalanche . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Sharks. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 SAN JOSE, Calif. — Chris Stewart’s shot deflected off San Jose defender Rob Blake’s skate and into the net with 50 seconds left in regulation to lift Colorado past the Sharks in the opener of the Western Conference firstround series. With a second-period goal by John-Michael Liles, 25 saves from playoff novice Craig Anderson and a fortunate bounce off the skate of one of its former star players in Blake, the Avalanche are off to a roaring playoff start despite a No. 8 seed.

Charlie Lake, of Warne Scope Mounts in Tualatin, hunted ground squirrels in the orchard grass in Lake County last week.

Diggers Continued from D1 They were hard to see at first, blending in with the dried stalks.

But then a darker patch would show against the grass, the cheek and head of a squirrel, a target no bigger than a silver dollar.

Charlie Lake lifted his 10x Leupolds. “They’re all over the place.”

Dave Wilcox lifted the lid on his cargo carrier and handed out the hardware. Sam King, 14, was supposed to start out with an old singleshot Savage with open sights, but he cast a favoring eye across my Trijicon-topped Ruger 10/22.

Since I toured their Tualatin factory for the first time, about six or seven years ago, I have been using Warne Scope Mounts on my rifles.

When I ran into Charlie Lake at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas last January, we decided we should try to do our part to keep the cost of hay affordable. I had called Russ Scott at Lake in the Dunes (www.lakeinthedunes.com) and we set up an early April hunt.

We settled in with an irrigation line at our backs to shoot north and south. Lake propped his Tactical Solutions .22 on a tripod and dialed the elevation up to compensate for shots that would come between 75 yards and 225. Wilcox used the back of a camp chair for a rest while Sam and I opted for Bipod Shooting Sticks. I started with my bolt action CZ 17HMR. For a few moments nothing moved, save the tops of the grass.

From each mound, trails radiated into the field like wheel spokes.

There. A sage rat, crouched in a furrow, his back brown against the yellowed livestock fuel, magnified to 6x in my scope.

Safety to “fire.” Crosshair on squirrel hair. Squeeze. A puff of Silver Lake soil drifted away on the breeze and the squirrel dashed for his burrow.

In the sagebrush, rimrock and junipers, ground squirrels don’t grow out of balance, but give them a cultivated field of orchard grass or alfalfa and they quickly populate it, streaming down out of the hills like the deer and elk. And they don’t head back for the high country like the ungulates do in May. Instead, they burrow down, boring tunnel complexes beneath the fields.

The Belding’s ground squirrel (aka sage rat) is an eating machine that emerges sometime in the month of February or March. The males spend the most time above ground early in the season. Females give birth to a litter of five to eight young, which are reared without the help of multiple sires (aka deadbeat dads).

Squirrels eat the above-ground parts of the plant and cover the crop with dirt. Mounds damage mowers and burrows in irrigated fields lead to water loss, weakened dams and erosion.

One study showed that a single squirrel can consume 14.55 pounds of alfalfa in between March and June. We figured if we could get there early, we could keep the price of beef down with some well-placed projectiles administered at long distance.

Several months had passed since my trigger finger had spent this much time caressing the quarter moon of one of my favorite rifles.

Muscle memory returned and eyes adjusted to calculate the effects of wind, distance and gravity on the 17grain bullet. After 50-some empties lay spent, I switched to my scoped Ruger Charger 22. The bigger bullet bucked the breeze better, but the handgun took more concentration to score at 100 yards or better.

After about 100 rounds, I switched back to the CZ and felt my groove coming back.

Sam walked by from time to time to pick up more cartridges. Taking his job seriously, he spent a lot of time in the scope, dialing long distance for Silver Lake diggers.

By my calculations, we saved 2,503 pounds of hay. You’ll see the savings in the meat department.

CENTRAL OREGON SPORTING CLAYS AND HUNTING PRESERVE:

FISH REPORT

HUNTING REPORT

Rock Creek Reservoir recently stocked for good spring fishing

Spring turkey season opens today

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

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

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Anglers are catching more redband than whitefish according to the results of our winter creel survey. Population estimates from 2009 show an increase in redband populations and a decrease in whitefish populations.

Flows have increased recently; however, fishing is good.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the Northern Boundary of the Warm Springs Reservation): Stonefly nymphs will also start getting more active in April and fish will certainly start keying in on them.

Spring chinook anglers should grab their gear and head out to Sherars Falls on the lower Deschutes. A good run of springers is predicted to the Deschutes and should peak at Sherars Falls in early May.

ing platform.

HOOD RIVER: Flows are good on the Hood River with good numbers of winter steelhead being caught by anglers. Spring weather has been warming the Hood and increasing catch rates as the water warms.

The peak of the winter steelhead run on the Hood is happening now.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: The Metolius Arm is open. Angler effort has been light. Several legal-sized bull trout (greater than 24 inches) have been caught, but most bull trout being reported are in the 16- to 20-inch range. Kokanee anglers have been experiencing increased success over the last two weeks.

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

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

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Shore fishing has been good between the boat ramp and the dam. Opportunities for 12- to 20-inch rainbow trout should improve with the warmer weather.

PRINEVILLE YOUTH FISHING POND: The pond is open to children 14 and younger with a bag limit of five fish.

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

ROCK CREEK RESERVOIR: Rock Creek Reservoir has been recently stocked and should offer great spring fishing for trout. Anglers have the opportunity to catch all size classes of trout, including large trophy trout.

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

TAYLOR LAKE: Taylor Lake has been stocked with rainbow trout and should offer a great opportunity to catch trout this spring. Additionally, a couple hundred adult steelhead have been released in Taylor recently.

FLY-TYING CORNER

Here is the weekly hunting report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by wildlife biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife: OPEN: Cougar, coyote, spring bear and spring turkey (opens today).

PRINEVILLE/OCHOCO WILDLIFE DISTRICT GENERAL: Snow has receded from much of the forest but is still is present at higher elevations. Recent warmer temperatures have created muddy conditions, and travel off surfaced roads is not recommended.

Weather conditions can change quickly so be prepared for cold temperatures, ice, and snow. Winter restrictions on motorized vehicles remain on portions of the Ochoco National Forest and Prineville BLM managed lands.

TURKEY: Hunters should have better than average opportunities to find

birds in the Ochoco and Grizzly units. Spring is earlier than normal, and green up well advanced so hunters should check higher elevation areas on BLM and Ochoco National Forest lands. The Trout and Bear Creek drainages in the Grizzly Unit, and along the southern boundaries of the Lookout Mountain and Paulina ranger districts in the Ochoco unit would be good areas to scout for birds. The South Boundary Cooperative Travel Management Area (TMA) on the Lookout Mountain Ranger District has motorized vehicle restrictions in effect. Maps of the area are available at Prineville ODFW and Forest Service offices, and at portal signs entering the TMA. The Prineville BLM and Ochoco National Forest offices should be checked for maps and information for restrictions that could be in effect in other areas.

GROUND SQUIRRELS: Are active and offer great opportunities if you can find a willing landowner. Large populations are common in pastures and fields along the Crooked River

between Prineville and Paulina. The best concentrations of squirrels are on private lands where landowner permission is needed.

COYOTES: Will be closely associated with deer and antelope that are moving off winter ranges to higher elevation areas. Hunters should scout for evidence of deer and antelope as coyotes will likely be close by. Both the Maury and Ochoco have sizeable areas of public lands that should provide good hunting opportunities.

COUGAR: Are present at all elevations in the Maury, Ochoco, and Grizzly units. Coyotes, cougar will be attracted to deer and antelope, but also elk. The Maury and Ochoco units are again recommended because of their greater amounts of public lands and better accessibility. Remember cougars must be checked in at an ODFW office within 10 days after harvest.

Please consult the synopsis for all required parts and be sure to call first to make an appointment.

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

After a long winter, trout need to put weight on fast. Before the callibaetis, the caddis, the damsels and dragons begin to pop, fish tend to be opportunistic. A fly-fisherman can score with an impressionistic streamer pattern. The Loweberg is a good choice on an overcast spring day.

Its profile is suggestive of a small baitfish, vulnerable and packed with protein.

Fish this pattern on a long leader with a slowsinking line. Frequent direction and speed changes will spark more strikes. If

fishing from a float tube, work the edges of weed beds and other structure with a slow twitch-troll or a figure-8 motion in the rod tip.

Tie this pattern with red thread on a No. 10 wet fly hook. Build the body with olive tinsel. For the wing, pair two olive guinea or mallard flank feathers and tie on each side of the shank with the concave sides facing each other. Overlay the wing on each side with a short tag of olive tinsel. Tie in an overwing of long grizzly hackle fibers. Wrap two grizzly hackles as a collar and finish.

Spring returns to Bend trails

By David Jasper The Bulletin

After a late resurgence of winter last week, “things have definitely changed to spring conditions high and low,” said Deschutes National Forest Trails Specialist Chris Sabo.

At lower elevations, some trails are still soft, “but in general things are resetting into a firmer spring time tread condition,” Sabo said.

Trails are decent along the Deschutes River for bikes, hikers and horse riders, and Phil’s Trail is in good shape, but riders will reach the snow line a couple of miles west of the trail.

The Metolius River is seeing good conditions, and Peterson Ridge should be very good, Sabo said. Of the latter, there is some heavy equipment in use as workers cover an irrigation canal in the area. Black Butte Trail is seeing early spring conditions, but is not recommended with snow on the north face.

In the Horse Butte area, trails are in good shape for bike and horse traffic with some light blowdown, Sabo said. Crews will be replacing the signs that have been vandalized with bullets or gone missing due to sign-collecting thieves.

The road to Tumalo Falls is still closed, but folks can walk in; expect a foot or more of snow closer to the falls.

Lower elevation sno-parks such as Six Mile and Skyliner are generally done for the winter, Sabo said.

pril can be a tricky month in Central Oregon. Even Mother Nature can’t decide whether to hang back with winter or spring forward.

To me, April is the month that really tests your priorities. Will you dig out the bike, the canoe or your hiking shoes? Or will you cling to the last vestiges of winter with your skis in one hand and your snowshoes in the other.

If you’re tired of winter, there are plenty of snow-free trails opening up

now. But if you share my sentiment that this past winter hasn’t been the greatest, April represents one last shot at playing in the snow. You’ll just have to head higher to do so.

For the most part this winter, a day on snow meant a trip up the Cascade Lakes Highway, so I thought last weekend would be a fine time to head a little bit farther north to Santiam Pass. About 20 minutes past Sisters, at the turnoff for the Hoodoo Ski Resort, lies the often overlooked Ray Benson Sno-park.

Woman is weary of hosting every time in-laws come visit Dear Abby: My in-laws (whom I love dearly) moved to another state after retirement, and when they come to visit they always stay with us. They own a house next door that is occupied by their daughter, and they also have another child living nearby.

How can I politely suggest that they stay in their own house with their daughter or with the other child? Both have the space to accommodate them. I work very early morning hours and don’t want to disturb them, but they pretty much take over our house when they are here. I don’t know if the other children offer them a place to stay or not, but I’m tired of having them here every time they visit.

— Stuck In The Southwest Dear Stuck: Discuss this with your husband and his siblings. It’s possible that the other children haven’t extended an invitation to the parents to stay with them.

And if you view it from another perspective, it’s unfair to the others that the parents slight them by staying with you when they’re in town.

Dear Abby: I am not gay or bisexual, but I’m in love with my boss, who is a female like me.

She’s 27 and I am 17. She is married and doesn’t know how I feel about her.

I looked up her address on the Internet and got directions to her house. I drive by every day — don’t ask me why. I told her I have a friend who lives on the same street that she does, and that I saw her car in the driveway.

About a month ago, she caught me driving by as she was pulling out of her driveway. Two days ago, she called my mother — they have been friends for years — and asked, “What’s wrong with ‘Janie’? She pulled my address up from a computer. I saw her driving past my house.”

What’s going on here? Am I going crazy?

— Found Out In Florida

DEAR ABBY Dear Found Out: What’s “going on” is you have become obsessed with your boss, and your trips past her house could be construed as stalking. You are not “going crazy,” but you definitely need counseling. Please tell your mother I said so.

Dear Abby: “College Co-Ed in Williamsburg, Va.” (Feb. 10) was concerned about her mother opening and reading her bills and statements. There’s another option you didn’t address.

If it is too much bother to rent a post office box near her college and have the mail forwarded to her parents’ home during semester breaks, a simpler and easier option is “paperless” bank statements. Most banks and companies let you choose to receive your statements electronically.

“Co-Ed” can go online to the various entities from whom she receives regular bills and select the “paperless billing” or “paperless statement” option under her account settings. When new bills/statements are available, she’ll get an e-mail from each company informing her she can log in to her account to review her statements and bills.

This way, her mother can’t see her bills and bank statements, and she’ll have the satisfaction of knowing she is doing her bit for the environment.

— Savvy Online Consumer In San Antonio Dear Savvy: You know what?

You’re absolutely right. And so are the hundreds of other readers who wrote to say the same thing. Thank you.

WWE’s ‘Smackdown’ moves to SyFy

By Brian Stelter New York Times News Service

World Wrestling Entertainment is moving one of its weekly TV shows to cable from broadcast.

The company said Tuesday that “WWE Smackdown,” a fixture of Friday nights for millions of viewers, would be shown on the SyFy cable channel starting next fall after MyNetworkTV opted out of its contract for the show.

The announcement came a day after Conan O’Brien, the former NBC comedian, said he would join the TBS cable channel later this year, mirroring the gradual move away from broadcast by viewers and stars. “Cable is where it’s

at right now,” Donna Goldsmith, the chief operating officer for the WWE, said Tuesday.

With the move to SyFy, both “Smackdown” and “WWE Raw,” the company’s biggest franchise, will be shown on cable channels owned by NBC Universal, and the only content remaining on broadcast television will be occasional specials on NBC. “WWE Raw” draws 4 million to 5 million viewers a week to the USA channel.

“Smackdown” currently averages 3.5 million viewers, representing the most-watched hours for MyNetworkTV, a little-known service owned by the News Corporation that provides programs to local TV stations.

SyFy’s president, Dave Howe, said he expected “Smackdown”

to bring a “new, younger demographic to our brand.”

The channel, long identified with science fiction programming, changed its name from Sci Fi last year. It has redefined itself, rather successfully, as a broad entertainment network.

SyFy already broadcasts a weekly wrestling show, “NXT,” on Tuesday nights, and Howe characterized “Smackdown” as an upgrade. When “Smackdown” comes aboard in November, SyFy will shift some of its scripted programs from Fridays to Tuesdays.

The WWE said that it was shopping “NXT” to other channels.

SyFy determined that it could not afford “Smackdown” when it considered bidding for the franchise three years ago. Although

it is more expensive now, “we have an ambitious and aggressive growth strategy,” Howe said.

Goldsmith said both broadcast and cable entities had sought to license “Smackdown.” She said she did not anticipate “Smackdown” losing viewers by moving to cable because SyFy is a fully distributed channel, almost equivalent to a broadcast network. (SyFy is available in more than 95 million homes, NBC Universal says.)

Vincent McMahon, the chief executive of WWE, said last winter that he hoped to establish a WWE-branded cable channel in 2011. The WWE has held informal discussions with NBC Universal about such a channel.

‘Glee’ hits high note

By Joe Flint Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — The “gleeks” were out in force Tuesday night.

The return of Fox’s “Glee” drew it biggest audience yet with 13.7 million viewers singing along even if some AC/DC fans cringed when one of the characters started belting out “Highway to Hell.” The show also posted a record 5.6 rating among adults ages 18 to 49, which is the highest rating in that demographic for any new show this season except the premiere of CBS’ “Undercover Boss,” which made its debut after the Super Bowl.

Each rating point in that demographic equals 1.3 million viewers.

Technically speaking, “Glee” actually premiered last May, but Fox calls that episode a “preview” not a premiere. That preview, by the

way, averaged 9.6 million viewers and also followed “American Idol.”

“Glee” was expected to deliver a big number for Fox. There has been a slew of publicity everywhere. The cast recently visited the White House, went on a tour and even landed on the cover of Rolling Stone, although the article was hardly flattering.

Having “American Idol” as a lead-in didn’t hurt. Simon Cowell & Co. delivered 20.6 million viewers to “Glee” in an episode that ran almost 90 minutes.

Although “American Idol” is clearly showing its age, the 20.6 million viewers and its 7.3 rating among adults 18 to 49 is on par with last week’s numbers.

Dear Family and Friends, We are planning a celebration and you are a special part of it. We want you to help us celebrate Helmer Wallan’s 85th birthday. Depending on who you believe, the state or his mother, Helmer came into this world on April 25th, 1925. The state of North Dakota contests that it was instead April 26th. I put my bet on his mom!

To celebrate this great milestone, we are having an Open House at the Jefferson County Senior Center, April 17th from 2pm – 4pm. Don’t bring gifts, just your smile, your memories and more of Helmer’s friends!

This is a special day for Dad, but it will only be complete if you are there to share it with him. Feel free to stop by the Senior Center any time between 2pm and 4pm.

We look forward to seeing you then! ~ The Wallan Kids and Grandkids ~

Rapper Nas says he will Larry King files for focus on his kids, music divorce in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES — Nas says he’s focusing on music and his children after striking a deal to dismiss a civil contempt charge against him.

A Los Angeles judge dismissed the contempt allegation against the rapper Nas Monday after he paid nearly $50,000 in child support to his estranged wife Kelis.

Kelis’ attorney sought the contempt charge earlier this year after Nas fell $200,000 behind on child and spousal support payments.

He was ordered in December to pay more than $51,000 a month to Kelis and their infant son.

She filed for divorce in May. In a statement released Wednesday, Nas says, “All I want to do is make music and raise my kids. Nothing else matters.”

Both musicians have said they’re working on new music.

Nas has a daughter from a previous relationship.

Patti LaBelle to get honorary degree PHILADELPHIA — Veteran R&B diva Patti LaBelle is getting an honorary degree from Temple University in her hometown of Philadelphia.

The university will present LaBelle with the doctorate in humane letters at its Patti LaBelle May 13 commencement ceremony.

LaBelle’s singing career has spanned more than four decades and includes several hit records and two Grammy Awards. She has also written four books, two of which are cookbooks.

LaBelle served as a spokeswoman for the American Diabetes Association after being diagnosed with the condition. Two years ago, she partnered with Temple to raise awareness about diabetes.

Temple President Ann Weaver Hart says in a statement Tuesday that the university is honoring LaBelle for “her professional excellence and her selfless service to others.”

Trails Continued from E1 In higher elevation news, Virginia Meissner Sno-park’s old shelter is gone. “We want to make sure folks aren’t concerned if they do ski or snowshoe in there and find it just a pile of ashes; that was removed intentionally,” Sabo said.

“The new shelter is doing its job.”

The work party that removed the shelter encountered fair but mushy conditions on the trail at Meissner, and Wanoga Sno-park is nearing the end of its season.

“All the lower snowmobile trails are just about finished for the

LOS ANGELES — Court filings show Larry King has filed for divorce from his seventh wife.

The host of CNN’s “Larry King Live” filed Wednesday in Los Angeles to end the couple’s nearly 13-year marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.” He married Shawn Southwick in a hospital room in 1997 shortly before surgery to clear a clogged blood vessel.

He is seeking joint custody of the couple’s two sons, ages 11 and 9. Howard Rubenstein is a spokesman for King.

Kate Walsh set for off-Broadway debut NEW YORK — Kate Walsh plans to spend her summer vacation in a 99-seat off-Broadway theater.

Walsh, star of ABC’s “Private Practice,” will appear in the world premiere of “Dusk Rings a Bell,” a twocharacter play

by Stephen Belber, the Atlantic Theater CompaKate Walsh ny announced Monday. She will costar with Paul Sparks.

“Dusk Rings a Bell,” which runs May 19 through June 20 at the company’s Stage 2, concerns the reunion of Molly and Ray, who unexpectedly meet again more than two decades after a brief romantic encounter. Rehearsals begin April 27.

“It’s the story of these two people who had known each other during one point in their life and are trying to reconnect,” Walsh said in a telephone interview. “The fact (is) that their lives have gone in vastly different directions. (So) there is sort of this innate melancholy and lament (in the play). It works on so many different levels — particularly where these characters conflict with each other and where they connect.”

Walsh described Molly, a successful career woman in media relations at CNN, as “very cerebral, ironic and confident but definitely missing something.

She’s a little broken and longing for something.”

Belber is best known for his three-character drama “Tape,” which was filmed as a movie starring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Robert Sean Leonard.

season,” Sabo said.

The more sure bet for those seeking fun in the snow is higher up at places such as Dutchman Flat or Upper Three Creek sno-parks.

Closures of forest roads that become trails in winter have been lifted, “so folks may come across highway vehicles and Jeeps and whatnot trying to drive through some of those, although we don’t recommend it until the roads are snow-free and firmed up,” Sabo said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 15, 2010: This year, you see life with renewed interest. You see ways to maximize your security and finances. Often, you will look risks directly in the eye.

Be very sane about taking a risk, as the damages could be great.

Include emotional risking in this category. Always be sure you can accept the fallout if you decide to go for it. If you are single, you consider new possibilities as a result of a newfound openness. The people you meet could be unusually interesting.

Just check that this person really is emotionally available before getting involved. If you are attached, the two of you need to work more as a team, emphasizing security. TAURUS can be a little too practical for your taste.

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 Someone you answer to could make demands. Detach from the immediate issue in order to get down to the very basics.

There are solutions. You also might gain more understanding of what is necessary to allow greater creative flow. Tonight: Your treat.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You don’t know what to do with a difficult situation that emanates from a domestic or property-related issue. Your ability to communicate accelerates as you seek out solutions. Know what you want. Tonight: Think “weekend.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Knowing that more is on your

plate than you can handle could be important in making decisions.

You could be overwhelmed by all the possibilities that lie in front of you. Sometimes you need to step back and do some questioning. Be careful about a difficult conversation.

Tonight: Do your thing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH A meeting could have a far greater impact than you anticipated. Enlist the support of others, both financially and emotionally, in a key project. Your opportunities are many and allow you greater flexibility than anticipated.

Tonight: Where the action is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Your fiery side emerges too quickly when you think you are challenged. That might not be the case. Relax and work with this person. A meeting could prove to be most enlightening. Many ideas are exchanged. Tonight: In the limelight.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Keep thinking outside the box, and you’ll come up with ideas left and right. How you handle a changeable situation, whether it is a relationship or a heartfelt project, could transform if you transform also. Try to push away from either/or situations. Tonight: Let your mind wander to great music.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH A partner wants and needs more control. You could be irritated, as it appears he or she might be stepping on your desires and boundaries. Investigate different alternatives within a meeting or gettogether. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Listen to another person’s

sharing. How you deal with someone could change radically. If you’re investigating alternatives to a difficult professional or emotional matter, hold back some. Others chime in, and it gives you a better sense of where you are. Tonight: Say “yes.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH An even, mellow approach could go far. You might want to push someone, but that won’t work. If you’re challenged, get to the base of your resistance. You could be surprised by what comes up for you. Be willing to flex, especially in your daily life.

Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Sometimes pressure helps you come up with unusual solutions. Your creativity soars in the face of one of these challenges.

Understand what is happening with an irritated associate. The right solution can incorporate everyone’s bottom line. Tonight: Let your imagination rock and roll.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could be holding back and not be too happy at first.

Refuse to place yourself in a difficult situation. Just keep working with new information, knowing there is an answer. You just might not have seen the solution yet. Tonight: At home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH If you keep communication flowing, even a disagreement isn’t hard. You discover that a meeting or a friend could be the source of a solution. Others also might be looking to greater flexibility.

Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation. © 2009 by King Features Syndicate

Outing Continued from E1 For Bendites, Ray Benson doesn’t seem to have the same name recognition as Virginia Meissner, Edison or Dutchman Flat sno-parks. That’s too bad, because it’s in a prime location for lots of snow and has trails to accommodate almost every winter enthusiast. There are long trails for snowmobilers, skijorers and dog mushers, and shorter trails for cross-country skiers and snowshoers. And with the Pacific Crest Trail running right through the park, if you’re self-propelled, you can tailor the length of your excursion to your time or fitness limit.

Arriving at the sno-park somewhat late on Sunday morning, we were expecting to see a parking lot full of cars. After all, the sun was shining and it was still five days until tax day. But we found just a few trailers and snowmobiles.

We pulled up right by the trailhead — no jockeying for parking spots, no following people to their cars to be first in line.

We headed out on snowshoes on the North Loop trail, a wellmarked 4-mile loop over moderate terrain, with a warming shelter about two-thirds of the way going clockwise. The trail bends through the forest, with peek-aboo views of the Hoodoo slopes and the flat-topped Hayrick Butte.

According the U.S. Geological Service, the butte is a tuya, a type of volcano that forms when lave erupts below a glacier or ice sheet. As the lava melts the ice above the eruption, the lava pools create a characteristic plateau on the top, and near vertical walls where the lava cooled against the surrounding ice. Hayrick Butte is one of the best examples of a tuya in the continental U.S., with a half-mile-wide plateau top and vertical walls rising 700 feet.

The North Loop Trail emerges from the forest into the wide open remnants of a forest fire. Views include Three Finger Jack and Hoodoo Mountain, left. also see the scraggly summit of Three Finger Jack up close and personal. But we only saw the base as the peak was obscured in clouds.

When certain members of our party — who shall remain nameless — started to tire, we decided to cut across the well-marked Pacific Crest Trail, shortening our loop by about a mile. The PCT isn’t maintained for nordic skiing or snowshoeing, so it’s a bit more rugged. There are more up and down portions, the trail comes perilously close to tree wells, and it’s just not as wide, making it difficult to avoid stepping on the ski tracks, as we had tried to do on the loop.

There were plenty of tracks on the snow, from both skis and snowshoes, but on this day, we didn’t see a single soul on the trail.

We looped back toward our car, and soon we heard the whine of snowmobile engines signaling our arrival back at the parking lot. The snow had warmed up quite a bit over the two hours we were out.

Even with snowshoes on, we sometimes sank deep into the snow.

It’s amazing how much heat is radiated of the snow when the sun comes out. Even after shedding our jackets along the way, it was hard to imagine it was winter.

Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to find my bike.

Are you putting

the right pieces into your diet?

Experts warn cutting saturated fat will help only if you choose the right replacement

A

sk someone to describe to you a hearthealthy diet, and you won’t hear them list many foods high in saturated fat. After all, butter is described as artery-clogging, deep fried foods as a companion for Lipitor, fettuccine Alfredo as a heart attack on a plate.

Yet, when researchers recently reviewed all the evidence on how cutting saturated fat from your diet can help protect your heart health, they found it had absolutely no effect. How could that be? Was all the talk about red meat, bacon and full-fat dairy wrong all these years?

Not exactly. Researchers reviewing the multitude of studies on saturated fat and heart disease stress that it’s not simply a matter of cutting the fat from your diet. What you replace it with is just as important.

“Narrowing in on the evils of saturated fats alone without considering the whole diet may mean that we make the wrong choices and create new problems by our substitutions,” said Dr. Ronald Krauss, director of Atherosclerosis Research at Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, in Oakland, Calif. “What we’d like to do is back away from recommendations that simply eliminate a particular element from the diet, such as saturated fat, and shift to a recommendation for overall dietary balance.”

In March, Krauss and his colleagues published an analysis of 24 studies looking at the link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease. Those studies asked individuals about their diet and then followed them for a number of years, measuring how many of them had heart attacks or strokes. The researchers combined the data for hundreds of thousands of patients but found cutting saturated fat intake doesn’t automatically protect against heart disease.

Ladies, plan on a daily hour of exercise Working out is key to avoid weight gain, study shows

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

Ladies, get out your treadmills.

A new study says that women in late middle age need at least 60 minutes of exercise every day to avoid gaining weight.

“What we’re doing isn’t enough,” said Dr. Karen Oppenheimer, an internist at Bend Memorial Clinic who was not involved with the new study, though she had read it.

The study, from researchers at Brigham and

Women’s Hospital in Boston, followed more than 34,000 women for about a decade and asked them about their physical activity and body weight. On average, the women gained about six pounds over the F I T N course of the study. Women were broken up into three groups: less than 150 minutes of exercise per week, 150 minutes to 420 minutes per week and more than 420 minutes per week.

Overweight and obese women gained weight no matter how much physical activity they got. That, the researchers wrote, emphasizes “the importance of controlling caloric intake for weight maintenance in that E S S group.”

In Oregon, statistics from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey show that 20 percent of adults said they had participated in no physical activity in the past month.

CELEBRITY MEDICINE Elderly, terminally ill are at greater risk of pneumonia

Stu dy suggests weigh t loss can be beneficial for seniors

By Markian Hawryluk

Actor John Forsythe died earlier this month at age 92 after battling cancer for the past four years. But technically, it wasn’t cancer that killed him. It was pneumonia, a common cause of death for the elderly or terminally ill whose immune systems are weakened by other conditions.

The condition was once called the “old man’s friend” because it provided a relatively peaceful death for terminally ill elderly patients that might otherwise suffer a more painful demise from an underlying condition.

Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by an infection. As white blood cells attack the infection, the tiny air sacs in the lungs can become inflamed and fill with fluid, making breathing difficult. That can lead to a host of complications, including the spread of infection to the bloodstream or depriving the body of oxygen.

When caused by a bacterial infection, pneumonia can be treated with antibiotics. But many doctors believe that antibiotics are overused, needlessly prolonging life with little benefit for terminally

Cleone Steelhammer participates in a Senior Weight & Conditioning Training class at the Bend Senior Center. Dr. Stephen Kritchevsky cautions that seniors who set out to lose weight should do so in a way that maintains muscle and bone mass.

“This study puts to rest a lot of the unfounded concerns about how to address the epidemic of obesity among our older adults.”

— Dr. Stephen Kritchevsky, geriatrician sort of reinforced by observational data that flatter that bias,” he said. “What was needed was a trial of the topic to see what’s happening when people are actually randomized to lose weight or not.”

The researchers could not determine how weight loss helps extend lives but did note that weight loss in older adults has been shown to improve blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels.

They also found that the benefits held up regardless of the age of the test subjects.

“I think when we’re getting into the older age range, what we’re really interested in is good functioning,” Kritchevsky said. “So we know that obese older people have problems with mobility, are at much higher risk for lower extremity pain, which is limiting of their function, are associated with diabetes and hypertension, and a number of other health problems.”

Current recommendations from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, calls for seniors up to age 85 to lose weight if they have a body mass index of 30 or higher. (Body mass index, or BMI, is a ratio of weight to height.) Seniors with a BMI of 27 to 30 are advised to lose weight if they have any other weightrelated health issue, including knee osteoarthritis, metabolic syndrome, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure or a history of heart disease.

Kritchevsky cautioned, however, that seniors who set out to lose weight should do so in a way that maintains muscle and bone mass.

“When you lose weight, you lose everything,” he said. “You lose bone, you lose muscle and you lose fat.”

Seniors can minimize the

amount of bone loss associated with weight loss, he said, through resistance exercise such as lifting weights and by maintaining protein intake levels if they cut calories.

“Most people don’t eat that much excess protein anyway, so if they cut everything by 20 percent, they may actually become protein deficient and lose lean mass,” Kritchevsky said.

Bone loss, he said, can also be minimized through resistance training and by taking a calcium and vitamin D supplement.

Although the study was not large enough to determine the exact risk reduction associated with losing weight, the researchers said the analysis clearly showed there was no increased risk in doing so.

“This study puts to rest a lot of the unfounded concerns about how to address the epidemic of obesity among our older adults,” Kritchevsky said.

An experimental thyroid medication lowers cholesterol just as effectively as statins — the most popularly prescribed cholesterol drugs on the market — and without many of the bothersome side effects, researchers have found in a study released Wednesday.

Statins, which include many well-known brands such as Lipitor, Crestor and Zocor, are taken by at least 12 million Americans daily, according to studies, and earn their makers about $36 billion a year. But they also produce side effects, particularly muscle weakness and stiffness and can harm the liver.

The new thyroid compound — eprotirome — has been under development by a Swedish biotech company for about four years, explained Dr. Irwin Klein of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset.

Klein, a member of an international team of researchers who studied the new drug, said the synthetic compound mimics thyroid hormone in the body, reducing cholesterol but not producing the bothersome side effects associated with statins — or other thyroid hormone-based drugs.

As a cardiovascular drug, he said eprotirome reduces the bad form of cholesterol and also reduces lipoproteinA, a key marker for cardiovascular disease.

Symptoms can include fever, cough, shortness of breath, sweating, shaking chills, chest pain while breathing, headache, pain and fatigue. If you have a cold or flu and you have one of those symptoms, it could be a sign of pneumonia. People at high risk for pneumonia or adults ages 65 or older are urged to be vaccinated for the disease.

Study: New thyroid drug works as well as statins

The Bulletin

For years, doctors have been reluctant to advise elderly patients to lose weight based on evidence that weight loss later in life is associated with a higher risk of death. But a new study suggests the risk may not apply to seniors who intentionally exercise or change their diets to shed pounds.

Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C., randomly assigned 318 older adults with knee arthritis to either a weight-loss or control group.

Members in the weight-loss group were given either a new diet or exercise regimen, or both, to follow for 18 months. They lost an average of 10.5 pounds. Members in the control group lost an average of 3.1 pounds. (Most people lose some weight naturally as they age.)

But when researchers followed up with the test subjects eight years later, they found only 15 members of the weight-loss group had died, compared with 30 members of the control group.

“Overall, we found that there were far fewer deaths — half the number — in the group of participants that lost weight, compared to the group that did not,” said Kyla Shea, the lead author of the study. “It was an unusually strong and surprising finding.”

Doctors know that sudden, unexplained weight loss in older patients can be a sign of an underlying illness. It’s often the first clue that a senior is depressed or developing dementia. And observational studies that have tracked seniors over time have shown that those who lose weight are more likely to die in the following years.

For example, a University of Maryland study in 1999 found that elderly women of average size who lost weight over the course of the six-year study were four times more likely to die than women who either maintained their weight or gained a few pounds.

The researchers conducting that study suggested that women shouldn’t try to achieve an ideal weight late in life.

But Dr. Stephen Kritchevsky, the geriatrician who oversaw the Wake Forest study, said previous research may have lumped together people who lost weight due to health problems and people who lost weight to improve their health, confounding the results.

“The data that people have been using has been unable to separate the cause and effect of the weight loss,” he said. “Our study suggests that the weight loss they’ve been studying may be the result of other health problems and not of intentional weight loss.”

Some previous studies have tried to get around the difference by asking individuals whether the weight loss was intended. But Kritchevsky said patients almost always say they’re trying to lose weight.

“So we have already a bias against weight loss in the elderly from a clinical perspective that’s

Klein, an endocrinologist who has studied thyroid function and thyroid hormones for 30 years, said the concept for the new medication is based on simple observations of people with thyroid function disorders.

People with an underactive thyroid, Klein said, tend to have high cholesterol.

On the flip side, those with highly active thyroid function tend to have low cholesterol levels. Yet, when thyroid hormone is prescribed to accelerate the gland’s function, levels of the so-called bad form of cholesterol reduce but a host of other problems arise: heart palpitations, bone thinning and muscle weakness, to name a few.

Reporting in a recent New England Journal of Medicine, Klein and an international team of medical investigators summarize eprotirome’s effects.

“This drug represents a new class of medications that might offer hope to those at risk of future cardiovascular disease,” said Dr. Paul Ladenson of Johns Hopkins University, the study’s lead investigator.

Ladenson said the research of just 189 patients is small but plans for a larger research project are already under way.

Many people struggle with gagging when they try to take medicine. Here are tips from pharmacists on getting pills down easier: Practice with candy. Work on swallowing different sizes of candy, beginning with something as small as sprinkles and gradually moving to bigger types shaped like your pills.

Take a sip of water first. Especially if your mouth is dry, drink some water just before putting a pill in your mouth.

Then take a few additional gulps to swallow.

Place pills in the center of your tongue. If you gag easily, try putting the pill on the tip of your tongue rather than further back in your mouth.

If a pill is oval, make sure to point it length-wise toward your throat so you don’t swallow it sideways.

Don’t throw your head back.

Instead, tilt it forward with your chin toward your chest.

That motion should help move a pill to the back of your throat.

Try a straw … The suction created by a straw may help push a pill down your throat. … or a soda. While cool water is generally the best choice, some people do better washing down medicine with a carbonated beverage.

Ask if you can eat. If your medicine doesn’t interact poorly with food — check with your doctor — chew up a bite and place the pill in your mouth right before you swallow.

Use relaxation techniques.

Taking a deep breath just before taking a pill may suppress the gag reflex. You also can picture yourself swallowing it with no problem.

Don’t assume you can crush or chew. Some medications are timed-released, and getting a full dose at once may be harmful. Ask your doctor.

State program expands options for kids Low- and middle-income families able to enroll in Healthy Kids plan

Rebekah Schlenker plays with her daughter, Hannah, 1, at Larkspur Park in Bend on a recent afternoon. Schlenker recently enrolled her daughter in Healthy Kids, a lowcost health insurance program.

Depending on your income level, the plan you choose and the number of children you need to insure, premiums are $21 to $95 per month.

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

Rebekah Schlenker’s daughter, Hannah, went without health insurance for nearly a year.

The 1-year-old has a genetic condition, an inability to process the essential vitamin biotin, and needs daily supplements and regular checkups.

Schlenker’s husband works in construction and can’t get insurance through his job. Schlenker quit her job when her baby was born to raise her. The family made too much money to qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, and purchasing insurance on the individual market was out of the question because of her daughter’s pre-existing condition.

Previously, Schlenker would have had very limited options. But she recently enrolled her daughter in a new state program called Healthy Kids, which allows lowand middle-income families to purchase insurance inexpensively. Along with an expansion of the existing Oregon Health Plan, the Healthy Kids program aims to ensure that nearly all of Oregon’s children have health insurance.

“Our goal is 95 percent of all kids,” said Cathy Kaufmann, administrator of the new program.

“That’s pretty much the best that any other state has been able to do.”

Currently, about 13 percent of Oregon’s kids are without health coverage, said Kaufmann.

The Healthy Kids program is open to families that earn between 200 and 300 percent of the federal poverty level, about $44,000 to $66,000 for a family of four. Families below that income level qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, which has expanded from 185 percent to 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Above that income level, families can purchase a Healthy Kids plan but do not qualify for lower, subsidized rates.

The Healthy Kids program offers a couple of private insurance plans in Central Oregon through either Clear One Health Plans or PacificSource Health Plans. Depending on your income level, the plan you choose and the number of children you need to insure, premiums are $21 to $95 per

The plan has no deductible, no co-payments for preventive services and $10 co-payments for other services.

“It’s excellent insurance for families,” said Shanna Evans, an agent at Cascade Insurance Center in Bend who helps families enroll in the plan. “The coverage is the best available.”

For Schlenker, getting her daughter on the plan came as a relief. “Once she was accepted, it was a burden lifted off my shoulders,” she said. “As a parent you want to be able to provide and to be able to do that with insurance is important.”

Other parents have had similar experiences. Michelle Riley, a Bend mom, has a daughter who has never had health insurance, despite that her mother works at State Farm Insurance. “It was too

Ryan Brennecke The Bulletin

expensive,” Riley said, to have her on her employer’s insurance.

Last year, the 15-year-old was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, a thyroid disorder. The medical bills quickly piled up. Riley made too much money to qualify for OHP or, she said, other programs such as Volunteers in Medicine.

In March, her daughter was offered insurance through Healthy Kids.

“At least I know at this point, everything is going to be covered,” she said. “I’m not going to have to stop taking her to the doctor because it’s too expensive.”

Families can enroll in Healthy Kids online, through an application assister such as Evans, at a participating organization or at an upcoming enrollment fair (see boxes).

The Healthy Kids plan is funded primarily by federal dollars that come through an expansion of the federal Children’s Health Insurance Program. The state is responsible for 24 percent of the funding, according to Kaufmann, which is financed by a tax on Oregon hospitals and health insurers.

Children with pre-existing conditions cannot be denied insurance in the Healthy Kids plan, unlike insurance currently on the open market. In September, private insurers will have to begin covering all children, regard-

less of pre-existing conditions, thanks to the federal health reform recently signed into law.

Healthy Kids is open to children ages 18 and younger who are legal residents (even if their parents are not), who live in Oregon, and who have been without insurance for at least two months.

The two-month requirement can be waived, according to the state, in some circumstances such as a parent’s job loss or a child’s serious medical need.

PacificSource and Clear One are expected to merge later this spring. Both insurance plans will remain intact in 2010, said Clear One spokeswoman Jennifer Moss Lewis. It’s not clear what will happen in 2011, she said.

Kaufmann said she hopes that by helping families insure their children, they will be able to get better care. “When children don’t have health coverage, they don’t get the care they need,” she said.

“It impacts their ability to do well in school and it impacts their ability to be successful, productive adults.”

At least some families are grateful for the help. “I’m really thankful for it,” said Riley. “I hope it doesn’t go away anytime soon.”

What is lactose intolerance?

By Thomas H. Maugh II Los Angeles Times

The National Institutes of Health convened a panel of experts to reach a consensus on what is known about lactose intolerance. Their consensus: There is no consensus. It is a real condition, but there are no good numbers for its incidence, little is known about its effects on health and even less is known about potential treatments.

Lactose is the primary sugar in all mammalian milk, including human milk. Virtually all babies are born with enzymes, called lactases, in their intestines that digest lactose.

BendSpineandPain.com

But beginning at about age 5 or 6, many children begin to lose the ability to digest the sugar.

Surprisingly, there are no good estimates of how many people have the problem, and the panel didn’t even try to make one. Many people who think they have lactose intolerance, he added, actually have irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease or perhaps celiac disease.

Diabetes: From rare to everywhere

By Vicky Hallett The Washington Post

The earliest doctors to discover diabetes knew it as an exceptionally rare disease. Physicians today see it all too often. While our society’s ever-growing girth has played a role in that, there’s more to the story, according to Dan Hurley, author of “Diabetes Rising.”

Namely, that it’s not just Type 2 diabetes, the kind usually

found in overweight, sedentary adults, that’s increasing. It’s also Type 1 diabetes, the kind Hurley has, which strikes children seemingly at random and becomes a chronic condition.

There’s also the mystery of why the medical community is so helpless to stop this upswing.

“Cancer is slowly declining, and heart disease is going down,” Hurley rattles off. But diabetes is a bigger problem than ever.

MEET THE EXPERTS

Let’s Talk About

HEADACHES Presented by Dr. Francena Abendroth, M.D.

Wednesday, April 28 • 5:30 pm In the lobby of Pilot Butte Medical Center

One of a series of community education programs sponsored by the physicians of Northstar Neurology, LLC Dr. Abendroth is Board Certified in Neurology and specializes in the evaluation and treatment of headache. She provided lectures on headache at OHSU and is a member of the International and American Headache Societies, as well as the American Academy of Neurology. Dr. Abendroth is also fellowship trained in Geriatric Neurology and Dementia through the Portland VA Medical Center and OHSU, and specializes in the evaluation and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias.

And it comes with the biggest question of why.

Option one is “the accelerator hypothesis.” “People are growing faster, bigger and taller,” Hurley says.

Another possibility is that the increase is being caused by lack of vitamin D. A majority of kids

aren’t getting enough of it, and epidemiological research indicates a connection between deficiencies and an increased rate of diabetes. As research continues, Hurley thinks there will finally be a definitive answer to help society fight this surge. He just hopes it happens soon.

Is It The Juniper?

Clear One, Medicare & most other insurances accepted

Each spring, fall and summer trees release pollen. This is when pollen allergy takes its toll on us. The job of pollen is to fertilize other plants, but quite often pollen winds up entering our noses and throats, making our lives difficult if not simply miserable.

Interestingly, plants with bright colored flowers usually don’t bother pollen allergy sufferers. It is the plain looking trees and plants that cause the greatest allergy symptoms. Here in Central Oregon, Juniper, Mountain Cedar and Pine are significantly problematic.

Juniper and Cedar pollen cause asthma, hayfever, and allergic conjunctivitis usually starting in late February or March and lasting until April or May. Often people develop contact skin reactions with hives or itchy rashes in early February. These pollens have been observed to travel great distances of 200 km according to wind patterns.

Juniper may be unique in causing allergic rhinitis in patients who have no other sensitivities. It has further been observed that after a couple of years of moderate exposure, even the least allergic person will develop a Juniper allergy.

Symptoms Include: • Sneezing often accompanied by a runny or clogged nose.

• Coughing or a postnasal drip.

• Itching eyes, nose, and throat.

• Allergic shiners (dark circles under the eyes cause by increased blood flow near the sinuses).

• Watery, itchy, inflamed eyes.

• Mental dullness and fatigue.

The right care can make the difference between suffering and feeling better.

By visiting an experienced allergist, you can expect an accurate diagnosis, a comprehensive treatment plan that works and educational information.

F IN MOTION Krankcycling: a growing trend and a high-intensity workout In the 1980s, Jonathan Goldberg created a fitness revolution with the invention of spinning, an indoor cycling class that still dominates the offerings in gyms across the country. Now he’s back with another version — Krankcycling — that is also catching the world by storm.

The Krankcycle is essentially a spin bike that you crank by hand, similar to upper body ergometers found in many rehab facilities and some gyms. The Krankcycle enables riders to sit or stand, allowing for a wider variety of movement patterns and combinations than an ergometer — and making it a natural for group fitness classes.

Some 35 gyms across the country now offer Kranking classes.

(Several facilities in Central Oregon have upper body ergometers, but so far no Krankcycles.)

How does the workout compare to

spinning or other fitness classes?

Pretty well, according to the American Council on Exercise.

The group asked researchers at the University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse, to test the effectiveness of a Kranking class. They found that a Krankcycle routine burns between 270 and 400 calories per 30 -minute session. Test subjects had an average heart rate of 86 percent of their maximum heart rate and routinely exceeded 90 percent of their VO2max, a measure of how much oxygen they’re using.

That puts it squarely in the range of a high-intensity workout. The researchers also said Kranking has significant benefits for upper body strength and endurance, suggesting it might be a great cross-training workout for runners or cyclists.

Similar to an upper body ergometer, a Krankcycle is like a spin bike that you pedal with your hands.

Zumba fans shake, shimmy and tone

the first gyms in the area to offer it. “We laugh so much. After class, my face hurts more than anything from all the laughing and smiling.”

A hospital clinical liaison and freelance respiratory therapist, Plaunt, mom to an 18-year-old son, attends classes five days a week. Zumba and Zumba Toning are always on her schedule, as are a stretch band class, an abdominal class and adult hiphop, among others. She also does Weight Watchers, and said the combination of diet plus exercise has her feeling better than ever. At 5-foot-6, she now weighs 136 pounds.

“I have some nice arms,” she said. “I’m in the best shape of my life.”

Zumba Toning classes are easy enough for a beginner, she said, but they also offer a good challenge.

“After an hour class,” Plaunt said, “those 1 ½-pound weights feel like 10 pounds.”

Emily Davis, who teaches Zumba Toning classes at Henry Ford Community College, said she has to offer a lot of instruction to students to ensure they’re doing all the moves safely.

“You have to be much more focused, explain where each foot is going, explain how we pick the weights up and put them down so people aren’t breaking their ankles.”

Davis suggests that interested students ask any teacher for credentials before signing up for a class.

Detroit Free Press

The founders of Zumba, the Latin dance fitness craze, know how to play the marketing game. Just as a fast-food chain must invent original ways to combine ingredients to generate new revenue, fitness programs look for fresh approaches to moving and sweating to inspire gym rats to keep signing up for classes.

That’s how something like Zumba Toning hits the fitness market. It popped up in late 2008 and has grown steadily.

It’s now offered almost everywhere you can find Zumba — local fitness studios, the YMCA, major health clubs, even city-based recreation programs.

The class takes regular Zumba — a group fitness program centered on dancing to Latin music — and adds 1½-pound hand-held weights in the form of shakable, noise-making maracas. The result is a class that keeps the fun-filled spirit of the original and adds a strengthtraining element that leads to more definition and calorie burning.

For 45-year-old Dearborn, Mich., resident Kelly Plaunt, Zumba Toning is part of a fitness program that has helped her shed 91 pounds.

“It is a blast,” said Plaunt, who started regular Zumba in September 2008 and added Zumba Toning a few months later when Elements of Exercise in Dearborn became one of

SPIN WELL, SPIN WISELY

Follow the proper form for indoor biking

By Dee DePass Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

MINNEAPOLIS — Indoor spinning is all the rage. Just look at the 1,052 Minnesotans who broke the Guinness World Record recently as part of Life Time Fitness’ “Ride of a Lifetime” challenge at the Target Center in Minneapolis. The company hauled in 20 truckloads of stationary bikes for a raucous good time.

“I was blown away by the enthusiasm of the crowd. A two-hour spinning class is a long class, and they really kept the energy up,” said Life Time spokesman Kent Wipf. “It was crazy.”

For some riders, it was their first time on an indoor bike. “Each (brand of) bike has its own nuances,” so participants wanted help adjusting their bike to their bodies, said Kimberly Spreen, Life Time’s national director of group fitness. Fit is critical with spinning, and knee trouble is common among novices who

neglect to adjust their seats properly. A poorly fitted stationary bike may or may not hurt you during class; it can take a day or so before joints really yowl.

Most well-trained instructors will start each class by helping newcomers get properly fitted.

If yours doesn’t, don’t be afraid to ask for help.

So, what are the ABCs of cycling? First, bring water and a towel, because you will sweat. Then follow these rules: • Before hopping on, stand beside your bike.

Set the seat’s height so it reaches the top of your hip ball joint. Take a seat.

• Pedal with your foot parallel to the floor.

“Women, don’t jam your foot all the way into the shoe stirrups,” Ward warns. Instead, make sure the widest part of your foot rests over that pedal spindle.

• Pedal slowly. Even during the downstroke, your leg stays bent — at a 25- to 35degree angle. Use a goniometer device to

help ensure accuracy.

•During the upstroke, your kneecap should be right over your shoelaces, not your toes.

• Make changes gradually if you’ve been riding for ages at the wrong settings, so muscles and bones can ease into the change.

• Pedal. Don’t let your knees splay out. If you’re bow-legged, pull your knees together until they’re in line with your hips. Recheck frequently. When we tire, our legs get sloppy. A wrong knee angle paired with crankedup resistance can cause unnecessary wear on cartilage.

These rules can keep you safe from injury.

A recent study by Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston says that middle-aged women need at least 60 minutes of exercise a day in order to avoid gaining weight.

Women Continued from F1 Oppenheimer said some of her patients are discouraged by the Boston study’s findings, but she thinks people can fit it in if they plan their day and make it a priority. “It’s not that much.”

Oppenheimer suggested breaking up the 60 minutes, perhaps walking for 20 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes at lunch and 20 minutes at night. Or women might exercise while doing other things, such as watching TV. She also said it’s important to do activities you enjoy. “If you hate every single second, you’re not going to stick with it.”

Another physician, however, said it’s just doing the exercise that matters, even if you can’t get in a full hour a day.

“You simply need to get moving,” said Dr. Kerry Kuehl, the assistant director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Oregon Health & Science University.

Kuehl said exercising even moderately can help people lose weight. “You burn 100 calories a mile, whether you sprint it in five minutes or walk it in an hour,” he said. “If you didn’t change your diet and

started walking a mile a day, (you would) burn a pound of fat in five weeks.”

He said the Brigham study didn’t ask people about their diets, so they couldn’t tell if moderate exercisers ate more to compensate for their increased activity, for example.

Because of that, “the study is really inconclusive,” he said. “It doesn’t make any physiologic sense that you can start exercising and not burn more calories.” If you maintain the same calorie intake as you did prior to exercise, he said, you should lose weight.

Both Oppenheimer and Kuehl agreed that women in the later stages of middle age may have more problems losing weight. The body loses muscle as you age, often replacing it with fat, which slows down metabolism. That means that older people need to train harder than younger people to maintain the same amount of muscle, Kuehl said.

Despite this study, Kuehl said, the old rule about expending more calories than you take in still applies. “The bottom line,” he said, “is calories in and calories out.”

The availability of a broad continuum of care is Scott Neil, MSW important. If his needs increase, he is less likely to have to move from the community where he has established important connections with residents and staff.

Another option, which is unique and something Touchmark just introduced, is Support Suites™. This is a service that is ideal for people who need moderate care on a scheduled basis. Basically, it’s a step between independent living and residential care. Care is provided by licensed home care or home health professionals. When people live in Support Suites, they pay only for services they have scheduled. We’re finding that many people find this an attractive option to get the help they need and supporting them to their highest level of independence.

Light colored hairs typically will not respond to treatment. This treatment works by using a laser that emits pulses of light into the hair follicle. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The heat loosens the hair and impairs the cells responsible for growing new hair.

Typically most areas need to be treated four to six times because not all hairs are in an active growth phase at the same time. Treatments are spaced approximately four weeks apart. Treatment time is very short, depending on the surface area treated. Side effects are usually minimal with a sunburn sensation and sometimes mild swelling.

This can be minimized with icing the treatment site.

PLASTIC SURGERY QUESTION: I’m a healthy woman who is happily married but I personally don’t like the appearance of my vaginal labia. I feel they are disproportionally large compared to my body and I feel very self conscious.

It makes my daily activities, like horseback riding and bike riding, uncomfortable. Is Adam Angeles, there anything I can do?

M.D. A NSWER : Although there is a wide spectrum of sizes and shapes of labia, many women that I see have similar complaints. Your description is more common than you think. There is a simple and effective surgery to reduce the labia which can be done as an outpatient procedure in a private comfortable setting such as at our outpatient surgery center. A very high level of satisfaction can be obtained if this procedure is performed by a plastic surgeon experienced in this type of surgery.

role in dentistry. In fact, I believe that having an adequate airway is the most important factor to having optimal dental health. Although ADHD Kelley Mingus, is not directly related to dentistry they both share D.M.D. a strong connection to the airway. Recent studies now support a very strong connection between ADHD and a person’s airway. If a child has ADHD and a compromised airway it is very possible that the severity of ADHD can be reduced by addressing their airway. Many times an inadequate airway should first be recognized by a dentist. A compromised airway will often result in a person becoming a mouth breather while sleeping. A dentist should be able to recognize mouth breathing at a very early age. Some common signs are crowded teeth, narrow dental arches, high palate, and poor facial balance to name just a few. When a dentist recognizes these signs a referral to an ENT for an airway evaluation should follow. Besides contributing to ADHD, a poor airway is also the leading factor in malocclusion, TMJ disorders and sleep apnea. As more is learned about the role of the airway the public and professional awareness will result in the improvement in many medical conditions, including ADHD.

ANSWER: We tend to think of hot flashes/night

sweats as common symptoms of peri-menopause/ menopause in women. But there are many other Kerie Raymond, symptoms that we don’t always talk about. In fact N.D. of the top 34 symptoms, these are the top 2, but irregular cycles, loss of libido, vaginal dryness, mood swings, fatigue, hair loss, insomnia, and concentration round out the top 10. Hormones require a delicate balancing act and go through periods of imbalance when undergoing change, usually in our teens, pregnancy, and peri-menopause. Hormone testing is available, and a good history intake and questionnaire can often identify areas of deficiency and dominance. Progesterone is the first hormone to drop in levels, which may produce irregularity in menstrual cycles and sleep issues. Many women find relief with BioIdentical Hormones. These are hormones available in a cream, sublingual, or capsule form that are identical to the hormones found in humans; as opposed to those found in horses (Premarin).

QUESTION: I read on AOL last week that ADHD can be linked to a person’s airway and that the dentist may be able to help. How can the dentist help with someone diagnosed with ADHD?

ANSWER: EBT or ultrafast coronary computed

tomography scans show plaque within the coronary arteries. Recently, these tests have come down markedly in price ($99.00 at St. Charles Medical Center) and they are quick and easy to complete. They are accurate and well-validated for diagnosing heart disease. In your situation, you really only have one risk factor for heart disease, that being family history. However, we know that genetics plays a large role in predicting individual disease burden and you would benefit, in my opinion, by having the test done. Even if your scan is completely negative, you still need to see your doctor at least yearly for annual exams and blood work as a negative EBT does not mean that you won’t develop heart disease in the future.

You will need yearly fasting blood work to check cholesterol and you will need to keep your blood pressure under tight control to help minimize your chance of heart attack and stroke. Maintaining a diet low in saturated fat and exercise are also very important for your cardiovascular health.

QUESTION: BALANCE: I’m noticing that when I walk

Q UESTION : I used to have long, dark eyelashes but as I have gotten older, my eyelashes are shorter and thinner.

Is there any product that can help my eyelashes grow longer?

in my yard, or off the sidewalk, my balance isn’t as good as it used to be. I tense up and slow way down. Is there anything simple I can do to improve my balance?

A NSWER : Absolutely! Have you ever heard the expression “use it or lose it”? Well, challenging one’s balance definitely falls into this category. As we age, get busy with work and family, and for many, become more sedentary, we stop challenging our body’s very Allison Suran, sophisticated ability to maintain balance on a variety P.T., GCFP of surfaces. Always take sensible precautions like using a chair, counter or wall to hold onto if necessary.

Here are some simple things you can do: 1. When putting on/off your socks, balance on the other foot instead of sitting down.

2. Practice balancing on one foot while brushing your teeth or shaving.

3. Play with walking on your toes, heels, insides and outsides of your feet.

(Think of a 6 year old).

4. Walk backwards somewhere: To the kitchen, TV or bathroom, anywhere.

5. Walk barefoot more often. (Inside and outside).

6. When you are walking on uneven surfaces, learn to relax your shoulders and breath.

7. Most importantly: BE PLAYFUL. If you are truly experiencing a balance deficit that could cause you to fall, there are many things your physical therapist can do to help you improve BEFORE suffering an injury.

ANSWER: Yes, there is such a product that can enhance the appearance of eyelashes. Allergan recently released a product called LATISSE. This product is the first and only FDA approved prescription treatment that stimulates eyelash growth. Eyelashes grow longer and darker with the use of this product. Ask your eye care specialist if you are a candidate for LATISSE. Patricia Buehler, M.D.

SPINE / CHIROPRACTIC QUESTION: My friend said she had great success being treated with cold laser for tendonitis. What is cold laser, and can it help with neck pain?

ANSWER:

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also referred to as cold laser therapy, is a painless, non-invasive, drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety of pain syndromes, injuries, neurological conditions and pathologies. Cold laser therapy can be used any time a patient needs a non-invasive procedure for the control of pain, when conventional therapies have been ineffective, or when the acceleration Brad Pfeiffer, of healing from injuries is desired.

DC Cold laser is a non-thermal laser capable of penetrating deep into tissue in the near infrared wavelength. Once delivered, the light energy promotes the process of photobiostimulation. The resulting photochemical reaction produces an increase in the cellular metabolism rate that expedites cell repair and the stimulation of the immune, lymphatic and vascular systems. The net result, observed in clinical trials to date, is the reduction of pain, decreased inflammation and an overall reduction in healing time.

Laser therapy has been successfully used around the world for over 25 years, with no reported significant side effects. We use a laser that has been cleared by the FDA for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome and other musculoskeletal pain syndromes.

A recent review study published in the medical journal the Lancet shows that LLLT reduces pain immediately after treatment in acute neck pain and up to 22 weeks after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain and compares favorably with other forms of therapy for neck pain - particularly pharmacological interventions.

The results of LLLT in this review compare favorably with other widely used therapies, and especially with pharmacological interventions, for which evidence is sparse and side-effects are common.

If you would like further information on cold laser therapy, please feel free to contact our

A D VA N C E D C A R E Q UESTION : How often should I have a colonoscopy?

A NSWER : The American cancer society recommends that every person have a screening colonoscopy starting at age 50.

If the results from this screening prove Thuy Hughes, to be normal, then it is recommended to have one every ten years. If, however, a DO polyp is present, the procedure will need to be repeated every 3 – 5 years depending on the type of polyp. Furthermore, if you have genetic predisposition, it is recommended to have the initial screening colonoscopy sooner depending on the age of onset in the family or the type of genetic disease. Your primary care doctor can determine whether or not your family history would warrant early screening.

N Fat

DID YOU KNOW?

Percentage of specific types of fat

Continued from F1 “When looked at individually, the many studies of saturated fat intake show quite a bit of variability,” Krauss said. “When analyzed as a whole, however, a significant association of saturated fat intake with increased risk of heart disease or stroke was undetectable.”

The findings called into question current efforts to reduce saturated fat intake even further.

Both the Institute of Medicine and the World Health Organization recommend limiting saturated fat intake to 10 percent of total calories. But the American Heart Association has backed a lower 7 percent threshold. Krauss said the current evidence does not support that lower limit.

“There really isn’t definitive, strong evidence to show that we should reduce saturated fat more than the current guidelines recommend, especially when the substitutions themselves have their own set of problems, which in fact may be even more of a concern to the population we are trying to protect.”

Unintended effect That’s not to say that saturated fat doesn’t have an impact on heart health. It’s just hard to evaluate any one part of an overall diet in isolation. Trimming one component most likely means increasing another. And it becomes difficult to determine which change is responsible for an observed effect.

Decades ago when evidence began to emerge that saturated fats might be linked to heart disease, nutritional experts thought that the message to reduce saturated fat would be too complicated. Instead they opted to tell Americans to reduce total fat intake, under the notion that if individuals cut down on total fat, they’d cut their saturated fat as part of the process. But at the time there was little understanding about how other types of fat factored in.

And for the most part Americans did cut back on saturated fat.

Food manufacturers reformulated foods to contain less saturated fat and many Americans shunned red meat, eggs and full-fat dairy products. But they had to replace those calories with something, and carbohydrates — particularly refined carbohydrates — became the alternative of choice. The evidence suggests, however, there was little benefit in that trade-off.

High intake of refined carbohydrates, such as sugar, white flour or pasta, has been linked to diabetes and the constellation of symptoms known as the metabolic syndrome. Many experts believe the overconsumption of refined carbohydrates has driven the current obesity epidemic even more than fat consumption. And several large studies show that diets that spike blood sugar levels due to high carb intake increase the risk of heart disease.

And while replacing saturated fat with carbohydrates has been shown to improve total cholesterol

and LDL cholesterol levels, it tends to negatively affect triglyceride and HDL cholesterol levels. The net effect on heart risk appears to be a break-even proposition.

Better choice So what replacement for saturated fat does reduce cardiac risk? Surprisingly, it’s more fat, but a certain type of fat, known as polyunsaturated fat. It’s abundant in fatty fish, vegetable oils, nuts and seeds.

Last month, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health reported the finding after reviewing all the randomized controlled trials that measured the impact of such a dietary swap.

Looking at the trials one by one, no clear pattern emerged. Some studies found that replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat helped to avoid heart attacks or strokes, while others found it didn’t. Other studies focused on the impact on cholesterol levels, an indirect marker of risk, rather than preventing heart attacks or deaths.

But when the researchers pooled all the results, the benefits came into focus.

“Specifically, we found that increasing polyunsaturated fat in place of saturated fat reduces the risk of heart attacks by 19 percent,” said Renata Micha, a Harvard research fellow who helped conduct the analysis. “For every 5 percent increase in polyunsaturated fat, heart disease risk was reduced by 10 percent.”

That’s the same level of benefit identified by the review of observational studies by Krauss and his colleagues, and it lined up exactly with the benefits expected from the cholesterol-lowering effect of the substitution. And the longer the study’s duration, the stronger the effect.

“So far, the evidence is consistent for this association,” Micha said. “Replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat seems to be the optimal replacement.”

It’s only the second dietary intervention that shows a reduction in coronary heart disease in randomized controlled trials.

Micha said further research is

needed to test other possible dietary replacements. Many nutrition experts believe that wholegrain carbohydrates might be a better replacement for saturated fat than refined carbs.

“We can’t answer that question so far,” Micha said. “Replacing saturated fat with carbohydrates appears to have no benefit, but again we don’t really know because carbohydrates could come from refined carbohydrates or whole grain, and these studies did not specifically look into that.”

Similarly, there is no clear evidence yet whether monounsaturated fats, the main type of fat in olive oil, might be a good replacement. There have been no randomized controlled trials testing that swap, and observational studies and studies looking at the impact on cholesterol levels have had mixed results.

“So far, the evidence has been inconclusive,” Micha said.

Nor could the researchers differentiate whether the cardiac benefits were due to a reduction in saturated fat or the increase in polyunsaturated fat.

Recently, an expert panel from the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations came to similar conclusions.

They found convincing evidence that replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat will cut the risk of heart disease, probable evidence that replacing it with refined carbs has no benefit or may increase risk, and insufficient evidence regarding monounsaturated fats or whole-grain carbohydrates.

Making changes But trying to track the fats in your diet is almost impossible.

The fat found in foods is invariably a mixture of saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats in different proportions. And to complicate matters further, each category of fat includes multiple fatty acids of different chemical composition that alter how they affect the body. Polyunsaturated fats, for example, include both omega 3 fatty acids, such as those found

in seafood, and omega 6 fatty acids, such as those found in corn.

And some types of saturated fat boost cholesterol levels more than others.

In general, meat, dairy and eggs tend to have more saturated fat, while plant fats and oils are generally more unsaturated.

The Institute of Medicine currently recommends limiting total fat intake to 25 to 35 percent of total calories and to limit saturated fat intake. The Harvard researchers suggest boosting polyunsaturated fat content from the currently recommended 5 to 10 percent, to 15 percent. Americans get an average of only 5 percent of their calories from polyunsaturated fat.

A 5 percentage point boost could be achieved simply by switching to soybean oil or canola oil, from other types of cooking oils or fats. Many nuts and seeds are also high in polyunsaturated fats, as are many types of fish.

But Micha and her colleagues also stress that replacing saturated fat was only part of the picture. In fact, they said increasing consumption of fruits, vegetables and seafood, or limiting trans fats and reducing sodium intake, may have even more benefit.

Learning to lose weight (and chew gum) at the same time

By Jennifer LaRue Huget Special to The Washington Post

Me Minus 10 got off to a rocky start two weeks ago: No sooner had I pledged to lose 10 pounds than I got a GI-tract malady and then a wicked head cold (both now resolved).

Neither helped me mentally or physically. Nor did learning, upon purchase of a new scale, that I have 12, not 10 pounds to lose to get to 135.

“Mindless Eating” author Brian Wansink and colleagues interviewed me about my eating and exercise habits and then devised my Mindless Eating makeover.

Wansink had me choose

three small changes to adopt this month. I chose to: (1) chew gum while doing the dishes so I don’t sneak after-dinner tidbits, (2) stop after every treadmill mile to do jumping jacks or squats and (3) replace so-so cheese with highly flavored varieties, a little of which goes a long way.

I’m happy to say that these changes are going mindlessly well. Still, the scale hasn’t budged.

But neither has my resolve.
