Recent efforts aim to improve efficiency in the region’s canals

rrigation districts in the region were busy this past winter. While the water was shut off for the season, the Central Oregon Irrigation District, Three Sisters Irrigation District and North Unit Irrigation

District have replaced a little less than a dozen miles of open canals with buried pipe. Because the piping projects prevent water from seeping through the fractured rocks that line the canals, the irrigation districts were able to put more water in the rivers and creeks of Central Oregon — this summer, an additional 23 cubic feet per second, or around 15 million gallons of water a day, will be left in area waterways, said Andy Fischer with the Deschutes River Conservancy. That’s about equivalent to the average

flow in Whychus Creek during the summer. More water means better habitat for fish and other aquatic life. And the winter’s piping projects were a big push toward restoring river flows in the Deschutes River Basin, said Tod Heisler, director of the river conservancy. “The volume of water in the Deschutes now that’s permanently protected is going up significantly this summer,” Heisler said. “It’s very gratifying.”

The North Unit Irrigation District replaced between 2½ and 3 miles of a side canal on the north side of the district with pipe this winter, said Mike Britton, the district manager. And this summer, it plans to complete the project with another mile or so of pipe. In all, he said, the district has decades worth of piping projects, but what happens in the future depends on funding.

Swalley Irrigation District recently finished constructing a small hydropower plant at the end of a new 5.1-mile pipe, and plans to generate enough power for about 375 households. More piping projects could be in store, manager Suzanne Butterfield said, but first the district wants to take a break to determine how to finance the efforts.

Although the Tumalo Irrigation District replaced a section of its Tumalo Feed Canal in the winter of 2008-09, it didn’t receive funding to add to the project last winter, said Tod Heisler, director of the Deschutes River Conservancy. But the district and the conservancy are working on ways to fund another project next winter.

The Central Oregon Irrigation District piped about 2½ ek Tumalo Cre miles of its Pilot Butte canal through Juniper Ridge this winter, said manager Steve Johnson, a project that is designed to put almost 20 cubic feet per second of water back in the Deschutes River this summer. Over the last several years, the district has replaced about 8 miles of open canals with pipe, he said. And next on the list — possibly starting in October 2011 — could be a stretch of the Pilot Butte canal through a residential area.

Although a couple of neighbors protested, Three Sisters Irrigation District completed piping on 4 miles of its McKenzie Canyon canal this winter, as well as about 1½ miles of its main canal. Work will continue this summer, said Marc Thalacker, the district manager, with crews piecing together sections of pipe that will be buried in the fall. The goal, he said, is to eventually replace all 60 miles of canal with pipe, and so far the district is about halfway there.

The challenge now, he said, is to keep up momentum and replace additional miles of canal with pipe, especially without the funding boost from the federal stimulus grants that many irrigation districts received last year. But managers of the different Central Oregon irrigation districts already have plans in mind for which projects to tackle next. — Kate Ramsayer, The Bulletin

The Redmond School District will shift over the next three years to a proficiency-based system, which will change how students earn grades and how teachers evaluate them. Instead of letter grades based on a score average, the proficiency-based learning approach holds students to several academic standards in each class. The standards are set by the Oregon Department of Education, but the district picks which ones it uses in class. In a proficiency system, students only finish a course once all standards have been met. High school civics, for example, has about two dozen standards, including understanding how to amend the U.S. Constitution and the relationships between local, state and federal governments. District leaders argue that, under the new system, students will know exactly what they must learn to have a deeper grasp of each subject. District leaders have pushed the idea for several years, and the Redmond School Board formally adopted the proficiencybased approach last week. That doesn’t mean, though, that everything changes when students show up at school doors at the start of next year. The district will now put together groups of teachers and administrators to define what the proficiency standards are, how to teach them and how to roll the system out by 2013. “The vision is set for us with some really broad policy,” Assistant Superintendent Heather Cordie said. “Now it’s the nittygritty.” Some schools and departments in the district have already begun the work. Obsidian Middle School, for example, began defining the school’s proficiency standards at the start of this academic year. See Redmond / A4

Two women have filed a $250,000 wrongful termination suit against a major Bend employer that raises questions about workplace privacy, confidentiality and how employers handle investigations into potential misconduct. Pamela Castaneda and Pamela McCauley maintain TRG Customer Solutions fired them in June 2008 for “disclosing confidential personnel information” contained in a computer file they say was accessible to employees at the company’s Bend-based call center. The file had information about a “disciplinary action” of a TRG employee whom one of the women had accused of sexual harassment, according to the suit. TRG’s Executive Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs Lise Hamilton said Friday that it is against the company’s policy to comment on pending litigation. But an October 2008 letter contained in the court file on TRG letterhead states the company is an at-will employer, meaning it can fire employees at any time and without cause under Oregon law. The women also claim they were investigated and fired by the center’s operations manager, Greg Brown, a former Deschutes County sheriff once imprisoned for embezzling more than a half million dollars from the county and a fire protection district between 1996 and 2000. Brown’s illegal activities were investigated after his successor, Les Stiles, discovered computer hard drives belonging to the Sheriff’s Office had been erased and documents had been shredded, according to a report Stiles filed at the time. “They did have a concern about that, with regard to the fact that Greg Brown already had prior issues before coming to that company, and he was the one doing the investigating,” said the women’s lawyer, Marc Andersen.

The likelihood that health care legislation and Wall Street reform will ultimately be decided in the Supreme Court underscores the importance of a new justice, with the White House and Democrats arguing that whoever replaces Justice John Stevens will be key in moving the court to uphold laws protecting “ordinary Americans.” From the moment Stevens announced April 9 that he would retire, Democratic leaders and sometimes fractious liberal advocacy groups have united behind President Obama’s assertion that the new justice must be, like Ste-

Bill would legalize, Telemedicine brings doctors to patients, tax online gambling across any distance

By Michael Beller McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Americans looking to satisfy their gambling itch can do so now at the close to 1,700 casinos across the country. A bill in the House of Representatives could bring casino gambling to the approximately 86.8 million American homes with Internet access. Reps. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Jim McDermott, D-Wash., are leading a group that proposes to repeal the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which is set to go into effect June 1. Their plan would legalize and tax online gambling. “We have an activity going on illegally in this country, and we’re pretending it doesn’t exist,” McDermott said. “People have said ‘We want to be legal, and we’re certainly willing to pay taxes,’ and we need the money. On every count, this is a net positive.” The bill calls for a 6 percent tax on all deposits to be paid to state and tribal governments made by residents of their jurisdiction. For example, if someone living in Missouri puts $1,000 into an online gambling account anywhere in the country, $60 would go to Missouri’s state government. Additionally, 2 percent of all deposits would go to the federal government. The congressional Joint Committee on Taxation estimated the bill would generate $30 billion for state and tribal governments and $42 billion for the federal government over the next 10 years. “This is a huge boon to the state governments,” McDermott said. “If you look across the country, you’re seeing programs cut. In Arizona, they just cut out a program for children’s health for 40,000 kids. Here’s a source of money” to keep that going. Along with much-needed funds, Frank made a libertarian argument supporting new legislation. “American adults want to be able to do what they want with their own money without the government interfering,” Frank said.

Opponents speak up Opponents of Internet gambling aren’t standing by idly, and are lining up to oppose Frank and McDermott in the House. Last week, a Republican memo tying jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff to online gambling made its way around Capitol Hill. Professional sports leagues are against the bill because they think it will expand wagers placed on their games. Other influential groups, such as the nonprofit conservative Christian organization Focus on the Family, are firmly against any extension of legal gambling. Chad Hills, policy and research analyst for Focus on the Family, said addictive gambling is already a problem in America and passage of this legislation would only exacerbate that problem. “This basically creates a national casino, and there’s no time they won’t be operating,” Hills said. “We already have between 15 and 20 million people in the U.S. with a pathological gambling problem.” The bill was set to be considered earlier this month by the House Financial Services Committee, but the hearing was canceled due to a scheduling overload. Frank, the panel’s

“We have an activity going on illegally in this country, and we’re pretending it doesn’t exist. People have said ‘We want to be legal, and we’re certainly willing to pay taxes,’ and we need the money. On every count, this is a net positive.” — Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash.

chairman, plans to get a vote this spring, and is confident the House will pass the bill. There is no companion bill in the Senate, but Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., introduced a bill last August seeking to legalize and tax poker and games of chance on the Internet. The casino industry always kept on eye on Internet gaming as a potential business opportunity in case its legal status ever changed. Casino operators often think of the online gamer as a completely different beast from the gambler who will spend a night or a weekend at the tables. That means an untapped source of revenue is out there, and the industry may be positioned better than anyone to get in right away. “Casinos are uniquely poised to quickly enter this market and to benefit because it’s a new activity, it’s a new revenue stream,” said Michael Waxman, executive director of the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative, an advocacy group that lobbies on behalf of the Internet gaming industry. The land-based casino industry and the American Gaming Association were initially opposed to Internet gambling because they didn’t think the proper technology existed to protect consumers. In December 2008, the American Gaming Association set out to determine whether the appropriate technology could be implemented, a test that gambling websites passed unanimously, according to Frank Fahrenkopf, president and CEO of the AGA. With that concern out of the way, most casinos see Internet gambling as another source of revenue rather than a competitor. “The Internet, no matter how hard it tries, will never be able to substitute that personal interaction that guests desire and our team members provide,” said Troy Stremming, the senior vice president of government relations and public affairs for Ameristar Casinos Inc. Fahrenkopf, who was the chairman of the Republican Na-

tional Committee from 1983 to 1989, agreed. “If there was going to be cannibalization, it’s already taking place,” he said. “Ten years ago, if we took a look at the financial statement of MGM Mirage, for example, 65 to 70 percent of its bottom line would’ve come from gaming revenue. Three years ago, it was 45 percent.”

Enforcement The gambling industry continues to make more of its money away from the casino floor with each passing year. In 2000, 60 percent of MGM’s revenue after promotional expenses came from gambling. In 2007, the last year casinos roundly turned a profit, 42 percent of MGM’s revenue was from gambling, even though its net revenues had more than doubled. Now more than ever, casinos build their bottom lines through room rentals, food, beverages and entertainment. Under the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, the banking industry will be responsible for policing Americans trying to play poker or place wagers online. The act requires banks to monitor credit card transactions to ensure that none are going to offshore gambling websites. The banks are confident they can enforce the law, but say it will take time to implement changes, and that some transactions will be able to slip through the cracks. Steve Kenneally, vice president of the American Bankers Association, said that there would be no way for banks to stop people from writing a check or making a wire payment to an Internet gambling site. He said banks can easily prevent credit and debit card payments, provided the online casinos are labeled as such. He also said banks will incur extra costs associated with their new responsibilities, and that ambiguities in the law make determining what is actually an “unlawful transaction” challenging. “We’re just telling all of our bankers to be prepared on June 1,” Kenneally said.

School official under oath in webcam case By John P. Martin The Philadelphia Inquirer

ARDMORE, Pa. — A Lower Merion school administrator who had the ability to activate cameras on students’ laptops has agreed to answer questions under oath about her role in the tracking system and to let investigators inspect her home computer, her attorney said Friday. Carol Cafiero had previously refused to give a deposition in the lawsuit spawned by the webcam system, asserting her Fifth Amendment right against

self-incrimination. Her attorney, Charles Mandracchia, said he wanted his client to answer questions from FBI agents before submitting to lawyers’ queries in the civil suit. She met with the agents this week. “We wanted to determine exactly where the FBI was going,” Mandracchia said. “Based on that interview, I feel confident that they’re not looking at her because she did anything criminal.” Cafiero’s agreement to testify and turn over her home computer, reached after a private teleconfer-

ence with a federal judge on Friday, clears one roadblock in the legal dispute between the suburban district and Blake Robbins, a Harriton High School sophomore. The Robbins family’s suit claims the district violated Blake Robbins’ civil rights and used webcams on school laptops to spy on students. Meanwhile, wearied by the international attention caused by the suit, a group of Lower Merion parents asked the judge Friday to ban lawyers and other parties in the case from giving interviews near schools or students’ homes.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Working at the health center on Cisco Systems’ sprawling San Jose campus, Dr. Seema Sangwan examines dozens of Cisco employees a week — sometimes as they sit in a room nearly 3,000 miles away. The busy internist sees patients at Cisco’s North Carolina campus without leaving California, using a high-end videoconferencing system that Cisco developed for health care use. Standing next to the patient, a nurse uses a high-resolution camera, electronic stethoscope and other devices to send the doctor close-up images and data, including heart rate and temperature, in real time. “It’s amazing,” she said recently. “It really does feel almost like I’m sitting in the same room with them.” Cisco didn’t just develop the technology for internal use. After conducting trials in San Jose, Scotland and France, the company recently announced that its HealthPresence video system and related technology are being used in new “telemedicine” programs offered by medical groups in Southern California and the Southwest. Those programs are part of Cisco’s push to compete with other major tech companies, including Intel, IBM and General Electric, in the growing market for health care products and services. They’re also part of Cisco’s broader strategy to promote and participate in wider use of digital video across numerous segments of daily life — which can only increase demand for Cisco’s core business of selling the networking equipment that carries those digital signals around the globe. Cisco CEO John Chambers recently described telemedicine as a “vehicle for transforming health care on a global scale.” While the idea isn’t new, industry experts say the concept of offering medical services to patients in remote areas, by using the Internet and other telecommunications networks, is gaining wider adoption as major health care providers and insurers increasingly seek ways to serve more people at lower costs. “Telemedicine is going to be everywhere. The only question is when,” said Dr. Jim Woodburn, an executive with UnitedHealthcare, the insurance company that is working with local health care providers to deploy Cisco’s technology in rural Colorado and New Mexico. Several other companies, including Hewlett-Packard, Polycom and Teliris, sell high-

In addition to images, Dr. Seema Sangwan, in San Jose, Calif., also receives data such as heart rate and temperature in real time from his patients in North Carolina.

How it works • A high-resolution hand-held camera can be focused on specific limbs or areas the doctor wants to examine closely. • A vital signs monitor collects digital readings of the patient’s pulse, temperature and blood pressure, which are transmitted to the doctor. • A telephonic stethoscope and headphones let both the doctor and patient listen to the patient’s heart and lungs. • Software allows the doctor and nurse to record and print patient information or prescriptions. resolution, commercial-quality videoconferencing systems, including some designed specifically for health care. But analysts say Cisco in particular is using its size and clout to accelerate adoption by medical providers and insurance companies. “Cisco has the sales and marketing engine to really drive this forward,” said Ira Weinstein, who studies videoconferencing and related technology for Wainhouse Research. Industry officials say that video systems can help fill a growing shortfall in the number of medical students choosing to become primary care doctors. One study by the Frost & Sullivan research firm estimated the market for telemedicine products and services in North America would grow from $900 million in 2007 to $6.1 billion in 2012.

“How can we fail them? How can a nation that relies on its miners not do everything in its power to protect them?” President Barack Obama said Sunday at a memorial for the 29 miners killed in an explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine in West Virginia.

Obama eulogizes miners, promises improved safety By Philip Elliott The Associated Press

BECKLEY, W.Va. — They lived and they died pursuing the American Dream, working in dangerous conditions underground to help keep the lights on across the country, a somber President Barack Obama said Sunday in a eulogy to the workers who died in the worst mine accident in a generation. The president told the families of the workers killed in the Upper Big Branch mine, about 35 miles from here, that the nation would honor their memories by improving safety in the mines. “How can we fail them? How

can a nation that relies on its miners not do everything in its power to protect them?” Obama said. “How can we let anyone in this country put their lives at risk by simply showing up to work, by simply pursuing the American Dream?” Investigators have detected high levels of two potentially explosive gases inside the mine, and it could be a month before investigators can get inside to determine what caused the April 5 blast. Federal regulators have identified highly explosive methane gas, coal dust or a mixture of the two as the likely cause of the blast, but the ignition source is unknown.

President meets with Billy Graham MONTREAT, N.C. — President Obama arrived at Rev. Billy Graham’s mountaintop log cabin Sunday afternoon, making a brief visit to the 91-year-old evangelist who has been a spiritual adviser to presidents for seven decades.

VIENNA — Umar Israilov, a whistleblower living in hiding after accusing Chechnya’s president of personally participating in torture, kidnapping and murder, was gunned down here last year as he stepped from a grocery store. The president of the Russian republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, who has suppressed a separatist insurgency with harsh methods and unwavering Kremlin backing, vigorously denied any knowledge of Israilov, one of his former bodyguards, or of his death. But a 15-month Austrian investigation into the crime has uncovered links between the suspected killers and one of Kadyrov’s advisers, a onelegged former rebel who has been described, in unrelated allegations, as an organizer of Kadyrov’s dirty work. The new evidence raises questions about Kadyrov’s denial and whether Chechnya’s president or government played a direct role in the killing.

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s defense minister on Sunday said a torpedo attack was the most likely cause for the sinking of a South Korean warship that killed at least 40 sailors last month, a statement that inched the country closer to placing blame on North Korea. Still, the minister did not mention the North, continuing a cautious government approach that reflects the lack of good options available to South Korea’s leaders if they decide Pyongyang was responsible for what would be one of the most serious attacks since the Korean War ended in a truce. The announcement Sunday by Defense Minister Kim Tae-young appears to fit a pattern that some analysts say shows the government is carefully building a case for a limited response. — From wire reports

NEW ORLEANS — It could take hours or it could take months to stop a 42,000-gallon-a-day oil leak polluting the Gulf of Mexico at the site of a wrecked drilling platform. Whether the environmental threat grows many times bigger depends on whether the oil company can turn the well completely off. Crews are using robot submarines to activate valves at the well head in hopes of cutting off the leak, which threatens the Gulf Coast’s fragile ecosystem of shrimp, fish, birds and coral.

WASHINGTON — Negotiations over a $60 billion rescue package for Greece are going well and could be completed within a few weeks, Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said Sunday. “Early May is a good ballpark figure,” Papaconstantinou told reporters in Washington, where he was attending International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings. “We’re very confident that these negotiations ... will be concluded very soon. They are going well. We have a framework.” Last week, European and IMF negotiators began hashing out a financial package for the country after it put out a call for help to prevent a national default on its debt. The plan includes $42 billion from the European Union and about $18 billion from the IMF. Papaconstantinou said he had met with various European

Craigslist, one of the most popular websites in the United States, is on track to increase its revenue 22 percent this year, largely from its controversial sex advertisements. That financial success is reviving scrutiny from law enforcement officials who say the ads are still being used for illegal ends. The ads, many of which blatantly advertise prostitution, are expected to bring in $36 million this year, according to a new projection of Craigslist’s income. That is three times the revenue in last year’s projection. Law enforcement officials have been fighting a mostly losing battle to get Craigslist to rein in the sex ads. At the same time, officials of organizations that oppose human trafficking say the site remains the biggest online hub for selling women against their will. Last week, in the latest example, the FBI arrested 14 members of the Gambino crime family on charges of, among other things, selling the sexual services of girls ages 15 to 19 on Craigslist. The company that provided the revenue projection, the Advanced Interactive Media Group, has been preparing such analyses since 2003. Followers of Craigslist consider AIM’s work to be the most comprehensive estimates of the fiercely private company’s finances. The estimate was calculated based on the number of sex ads counted on Craigslist over the month of February and the fees for posting such ads — $10 initially and $5 for repeat postings. James Buckmaster, Craigslist’s chief executive, said in an e-mail message that the site would not confirm the figures because it is private and does not discuss its finances. Craigslist, based in San Francisco, had seemed to put the conflict over its sex ads to rest. Attorneys general in 40 states, including New Jersey, Illinois and Connecticut, investigated the company for facilitating criminal activity, after a wave of publicity about prostitution and violent crimes linked to the site. Although Craigslist has continually argued that it is legally protected by the Communications Decency Act against liability for what its users post — an analysis that judges and legal experts generally agree with — it promised last May to begin manually monitoring these posts for illegal activity. But it also decided to stop committing to donate the profits from sex ads to charity, saying it would make no further comment on how that money would be used. In a private letter sent to Craigslist’s lawyer on Thursday, Richard Blumenthal, attorney general of Connecticut, complained about the continued presence of prostitution ads on the site and asked what additional steps Craigslist was taking to keep such solicitations off the site.

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats said Sunday that they had bridged internal party differences and coalesced around a plan to tighten regulation of derivatives, the complex financial instruments that were a major factor in the 2008 economic crisis. The proposed derivatives rules are an important part of

counterparts and IMF leaders. The loan package, he said, would last three years. He did not offer any other specifics. Responding to reports that German officials had not agreed to support the package, Papaconstantinou said, “We have full confidence that when the framework is completed and the negotiations are done, what we will have (is a) framework to which all European partners will be able to subscribe.” IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn described a meeting with Papaconstantinou as “very constructive.” In a statement on Sunday, Strauss-Kahn said: “I am impressed with the Greek authorities’ determination to take the actions necessary to put their economy back on track. The IMF, the European partners and everyone involved in the financing effort recognizes the need for speed. I am confident that we will conclude discussions in time to meet Greece’s needs.”

the effort to strengthen regulation of the nation’s financial system, and seem certain to infuriate some of Wall Street’s biggest players. The agreement among Democrats would combine overlapping proposals on derivatives by the banking and agriculture committees, and it raised the pressure on Senate Republicans, who said that they were still fighting for changes to the

bill and planned to block the start of floor debate in a first procedural vote today. Officials said the accord on derivatives included a number of the tougher provisions put forward by the Agriculture Committee, including one that is fiercely opposed by major banks because it would force them to spin off much of their derivatives business. The rules say any bank dealing in swaps, a popular and lucrative derivative, would be barred from the Federal Reserve’s emergency borrowing window and also from federal deposit insurance.

U.S. units step up effort on Taliban’s home turf By Thom Shanker, Helene Cooper and Richard A. Oppel Jr.

Poison feared as 80 schoolgirls fall ill in Kunduz

New York Times News Service

Small bands of elite American Special Operations forces have been operating with increased intensity for several weeks in Kandahar, southern Afghanistan’s largest city, picking up or picking off insurgent leaders to weaken the Taliban in advance of major operations, senior administration and military officials say. The looming battle for the spiritual home of the Taliban is shaping up as the pivotal test of President Barack Obama’s Afghanistan strategy, including how much the United States can count on the country’s leaders and military for support, and whether a possible increase in civilian casualties from heavy fighting will compromise a strategy that depends on winning over the Afghan people. It will follow a first offensive, into the hamlet of Marjah, that is showing mixed results. And it will require the United States and its Afghan partners to navigate a battleground that is not only much bigger than Marjah but also militarily, politically and culturally more complex. Two months after the Marjah offensive, Afghan officials acknowledge that the Taliban have in some ways retaken the momentum there, including killing or beating locals allied with the central government and its American backers. “We are still waiting to see the outcome in Marjah,” said Shaida Abdali, the deputy Afghan national security adviser. “If you are planning for operations in Kandahar, you must show success in Marjah. You have to be able to point to something. Now you don’t have a good example to point to there.”

Turning point? The battle for Kandahar has become the make-or-break offensive of the 8½-year war. The question is whether military force, softened with appeals to the local populace, can overcome a culture built on distrust of outsiders, including foreign forces and even neighboring tribes. Instead of the quick punch that opened the Marjah offensive, the operation in Kandahar, a sprawling urban area, is designed to be a slowly rising tide of military action. That is why the opening

Lawsuit Continued from A1 “I don’t want to elaborate on the specifics, but they knew who he was and what problems he had in the past,” Andersen said. Attempts to reach Brown at his listed home phone number were not successful.

Employee investigations Bend attorney Kurt Barker, who practices employment law at Karnopp Petersen, said the TRG case raises issues that could be a problem for any employer that deals with confidential information or conducts personnel investigations. Barker, who is not involved in the TRG case and declined to comment on its specifics, advises employers on conducting employee investigations and runs seminars on the topic. “Generally, employers have a pretty broad latitude in conducting investigations,” Barker said. “But there are things that you don’t want to trip up.” He said the person chosen to investigate allegations of workplace misconduct must be unbiased and credible. “Investigators often end up being the main witness in a lawsuit brought up down the road,” Barker said. “So you have to look at the person and see if they are going to be the kind of witness that holds up in court.” In some cases that might mean bringing in an outside investigator, Barker said. In other instances, a human resources representative might be most appropriate. “And you want competence, someone with interview skills, interpersonal skills and who knows how to follow up on leads,” Barker said. Investigating a complaint promptly also is key, he said. The suit against TRG states that McCauley had made a sexu-

salvos of the offensive are being carried out in the shadows by Special Operations forces. “Large numbers of insurgent leadership based in and around Kandahar have been captured or killed,” said one senior American military officer directly involved in planning the Kandahar offensive. But, he acknowledged, “it’s still a contested battle space.” Senior American and allied commanders say the goal is to have very little visible American presence inside Kandahar city itself, with that effort carried by Afghan Army and police units. Stepped up bombings and attacks against foreign contractors, moderate religious leaders

al harassment allegation against another employee — the same person whose computer personnel file was accessed — about a year before her dismissal. Barker suggested that employers conducting harassment investigations document, in detail, the steps taken and what information was discovered. “If they are doing an employment investigation, it is very likely that those types of documents are going to be Exhibit A in a trial down the road,” Barker said.

Workplace confidentiality When they were hired, Castaneda and McCauley signed confidentiality agreements saying they would not disclose information “that cannot be obtained readily by third parties from outside sources.” A half-page, single-spaced list of examples includes proprietary and trade secret information as well as information about TRG employees. “(TRG) basically accused them of a violation, a breach of contract which they signed which said they would not disclose information to outside sources, and that’s not what they did,” said Andersen, the women’s lawyer. “And they didn’t violate internal policy.” The suit states that the files Castaneda accessed weren’t personnel files, which TRG “maintained on password protected hard drives and/or in secure paper files ...” The files Castaneda opened were contained on a drive accessible to her and other employees, according to the complaint. And those files were identified in TRG’s “Associate Handbook” as “not private and confidential,” the suit states. But the 2008 letter from TRG states the women did breach their agreement with the company by sharing confidential

and public officials are viewed as proof that Taliban insurgents are trying to send a message to Afghan tribal leaders not to cooperate with the American offensive. Last Monday night, gunmen killed Azizullah Yarmal, the deputy mayor of Kandahar, as he prayed in a mosque in the city.

The Karzai effect American and NATO officials are not eager to speak publicly about one of their biggest challenges: the effect of the continued presence of Ahmed Wali Karzai, the Afghan president’s brother and head of the Kandahar provincial council, whose

personnel information. “Both Ms. Castaneda and Ms. McCauley admitted to these facts,” the letter reads. Companies that consider certain information confidential should make sure that data is password protected or only accessible to certain people, Barker said. “I encourage them to make more than a reference to that in their handbook,” Barker said. “Send out reminders, give training, tell people, ‘If you get into this area, then you are in the wrong place,’” he said. Whether an employer considers information confidential or not, Oregon law requires protection of certain information about in-state employees. Employers here must keep personal information like first and last names, Social Security numbers, drivers license numbers and financial information secure. A 2008 state law, considered at the time to be one of the most stringent in the nation, requires that companies keeping such data have a security program to protect it. And last month Gov. Ted Kulongoski signed a law that limits the personal information most employers can obtain even before an employee is hired. The law prevents employers from accessing personal credit histories during the hiring process, unless that information directly pertains to the person’s ability to perform the job.

KABUL — Dozens of Afghan schoolgirls have fallen ill in recent days after reporting a strange odor in their classrooms in northern Afghanistan, prompting an investigation into whether they were targeted by militants who oppose education for girls or victims of mass hysteria. Either way, the reports from three schools within two miles of one another in Kunduz province have raised alarm in a city threatened by the Taliban and their militant allies. The latest cases occurred Sunday, when 13 girls became sick, Kunduz provincial spokesman Mahbobullah Sayedi said. Another 47 complained of dizziness and nausea the day before, and 23 fell ill last Wednesday. — The Associated Press suspected links with drug dealers and insurgents have prompted some Western officials to say that corruption and governance problems have led locals to be more accepting of the Taliban. And while allied officials say they will be relying heavily on Afghan forces to take the lead in securing the city, that same tactic has so far produced mixed success in Marjah, where Marine Corps officers said they ended up doing much of the hard fighting. To shape the arrangement of allied forces ahead of the fight, conventional troops have begun operations outside of Kandahar, in a series of provincial districts that ring the city. American and allied officers predict heavy pockets of fighting in those belts. Kandahar, according to a senior military officer, is “infested” with insurgents, but not overrun as was Marjah. The plan has echoes of the troop “surge” in Iraq, when additional American forces were sent to attack the insurgents who were operating in the belts outside the Iraqi capital, planning attacks, constructing roadside bombs and launching assaults.

State Rep. Judy Stiegler, DBend, co-sponsored the bill and said employees shouldn’t have to give up having personal information protected in exchange for a job. “And the same goes for within the workplace. Just because you work somewhere doesn’t mean you sign over your right to have certain information protected, whether it’s disciplinary action, your annual reviews or the kind of information found in a personnel file,” she said. Stiegler, who is also a lawyer, said she has no objection to employers accessing information that is public record, like criminal convictions or civil litigation, when deciding whether to hire someone. “But there has to be a logical nexus between somebody wanting that information and whether it is relevant to the job,” she said. “Part of the problem, in this day and age, is that we know it is next to impossible to keep anything private, quite frankly. So I think we have to be ever more vigilant on keeping an eye on that whole area of electronic records and personal information and putting up as many firewalls as possible.” The lawsuit against TRG is scheduled for a pretrial conference in Deschutes County Circuit Court in July.

Congressman, protesters take issue with Arizona law The Associated Press PHOENIX — An Arizona congressman urged the Obama administration on Sunday not to cooperate when illegal immigrants are picked up by local police if a tough new state immigration law survives legal challenges. U.S. Rep.

Redmond Continued from A1 Just figuring out what standards were important for each subject took much of the year, according to Principal Shay Mikalson. Under the current system, if a student cannot finish a required class in a set time — a trimester, for instance — he or she has to repeat the course. Under the proficiency-based system, a struggling student would focus on specific standards instead of repeating the entire class. “What we’re trying to do is tell you and your kids what we expect of them,” Mikalson said. “Instead of organizing (school) around a certain length of time, we have organized it around the skills and content they need to know.” Without proficiency-based learning, teachers sometimes struggle to focus their grading just on what a student should be learning, according to Mikalson. As an example, Mikalson pointed to a teacher whose students make a major presentation every year. Students earned their grades on content, but also on how neat the work was and on timeliness. Mixing those factors together distracted from the academics, Mikalson said. “Kids were passing this, but from the teacher’s view they didn’t learn anything,” Mikalson said. Next year, the teacher will grade the project more on content, Mikalson said. “That doesn’t mean we don’t care about time, neatness or organization,” he said. “But knowledge in science, that gets a science grade.

we’re going to overturn the power structure that created this unjust, racist law,” Grijalva said. Supporters have dismissed concerns about profiling, saying the law prohibits the use of race or nationality as the sole basis for an immigration check. Protesters, some of whom came to Phoenix from as far away as Texas, clustered under trees for shelter from Arizona’s searing sun and temperatures that approached 90 degrees. Police said it was peaceful, and there were no clashes. Current law in Arizona and most states doesn’t require police to ask about the immigration status of those they encounter.

don’t cloud the subject.” That approach means teachers have to learn a new way of evaluating students, and that has some concerned that teachers will be overwhelmed with work. To make sure students are keeping up with all standards, teachers will give ongoing evaluations of student work. That may lead to a system in which teachers write a traditional letter-grade report card as well as a separate description of student success — or lack of — in various standards within each subject, according to Barry Branaugh, president of the local teachers union. “How do we do this in a fashion that gets students what they need, and we don’t overload teachers?” Branaugh said. “That’s the million-dollar question.” Answering that question will be core to the planning work over the next few years, according to Cordie. By early May, the district’s proficiency task force will write an implementation schedule. That schedule will, for example, pinpoint when parents should expect to see report cards showing each subject’s set of standards. Cordie said the district will hold several meetings with parents and staff as it moves closer to having proficiencybased learning in every class. “This isn’t going to be perfect right out of the gate,” Cordie said. “We all really need to be patient and monitor and adjust.” Patrick Cliff can be reached at 541-633-2161 or at pcliff@bendbulletin.com.

Al-Qaida in Iraq confirms deaths of 2 leaders By Sinan Salaheddin The Associated Press

BAGHDAD — An al-Qaida front group in Iraq on Sunday confirmed the killing of its two top leaders but vowed to keep up the fight, despite claims by U.S. and Iraqi officials that the deaths could be a devastating blow to the terror network. The defiance came in a statement released a week after the group’s leaders — Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub alMasri — were killed in a raid by

Iraqi and U.S. security forces on their safe house near Tikrit, north of Baghdad. “After a long journey filled with sacrifices and fighting falsehood and its representatives, two knights have dismounted to join the group of martyrs,” the statement said. “We announce that the Muslim nation has lost two of the leaders of jihad, and two of its men, who are only known as heroes on the path of jihad.” The four-page statement by the Islamic State of Iraq was posted on

a militant website early Sunday. It concluded: “The war is still ongoing, and the favorable outcome will be for the pious.” The Islamic State of Iraq is an offshoot of al-Qaida in Iraq. AlBaghdadi was its self-described leader and was so elusive that at times U.S. officials questioned whether he was a real person or merely a composite of a terrorist to give an Iraqi face to an organization led primarily by foreigners. Al-Masri, a weapons expert who was trained in al-Qaida

camps in Afghanistan in the late 1990s, was the shadowy national leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. Their deaths were triumphantly announced last week by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. U.S. Vice President Joe Biden called it a “potentially devastating blow” to al-Qaida in Iraq. But four days later, officials believe al-Qaida struck back, bombing mosques, shops and the office of an influential Shiite cleric, killing 72 people in Iraq’s bloodiest day of the year so far.

Economy Continued from A1 On the factory floor, production is expanding, a point underscored by government data released Friday showing a hefty increase in March for orders of long-lasting manufactured items. In apartment towers and on culde-sacs, sales of new homes surged in March, climbing by 27 percent, amplifying hopes that a wrenching real estate disaster may finally be releasing its grip on the national economy. After the worst downturn since the Great Depression, signs of recovery are mounting — albeit tinged with ambiguity. Despite worries that American consumers might hunker down for years — spooked by debt, lost savings and unemployment — thriftiness has given way to the outlines of a new shopping spree: Households are replacing cars, upgrading home furnishings and amassing gadgets. Many economists estimate that consumer spending — which makes up some 70 percent of American economic activity — swelled by 4 percent during the first three months of the year, more than double the pace once expected. Some have nudged upward their estimates for economic growth to more than 3 percent this year. “Consumers are showing extraordinary resilience,” said Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at the Economic Outlook Group. “There’s a lot of pent-up demand out there that is now being unleashed. The whole supply chain system is now being revitalized.”

How much? How fast? While few dispute signs of recovery across much of the economy, significant debate remains on how robust and sustained it will be. The lingering effects of the financial crisis have some economists envisioning a long stretch of sluggish growth. But recent months have delivered a stream of news bolstering the notion of a more vigorous recovery. Technology companies have racked up substantial sales. After a decade of painful decline, manufacturing is tentatively adding jobs. Retail sales increased by 9.1 percent in March at established stores compared with a year earlier, according to Thomson Reuters, marking the seventh consecutive month of growth. Exports swelled in the first two months of the year by nearly 15 percent compared with a year earlier, according to the Commerce Department. Still, much of the improvement appears to be the result of the nearly $800 billion government stimulus program. As that package is largely exhausted late this year, further expansion may hinge on whether consumers keep spending. That probably depends on the job market, which remains weak. “The recovery is under way, and it’s better than expected, but it hasn’t become self-sustaining because the job market hasn’t developed yet,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Economy.com. “I don’t think we’re there yet.” In a sign of the anxieties still gnawing at households, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index this month plunged to a preliminary level of 69.5 compared with 73.6 in March. Still, even that number represented a substantial gain over the record low of 55.3 reached in November 2008. And many economists dismiss such surveys as indicative of what people think, as opposed to what they do. What they are doing increasingly is shopping. “I’m certainly interested in spending now that the stock market seems so relaxed,” said Dan Schrenk, an information technology consultant, as he stood outside a Best Buy store in the Portland suburb of Beaverton.

THE BULLETIN • Monday, April 26, 2010 A5

Court Continued from A1 As the White House studies potential candidates, hoping to name the nominee in the coming days or weeks, the latest to assert the wisdom of looking outside the “judicial monastery” was Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat who is on the list of approximately 10 candidates Obama is considering. Whether she and others who deal with “everyday people” offer something more important than judicial experience, Granholm said on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, is “obviously the president’s call.” The buildup to the nomination marks a departure from Obama’s previous ruminations on the court. Republicans so criticized his use a year ago of “empathy” as a characteristic important for a justice that reporters last week could not bait White House press secretary Robert Gibbs into even saying the word.

Shoppers browse the Gap earlier this month in New York. Many economists estimate that consumer spending — which makes up some 70 percent of American economic activity — swelled by 4 percent during the first three months of the year.

“The recovery is under way, and it’s better than expected, but it hasn’t become self-sustaining because the job market hasn’t developed yet. I don’t think we’re there yet.” — Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Economy.com Last year, Schrenk’s income declined as local companies put off servicing computer systems. He and his wife cut back on dinners out and purchases. But in recent weeks, Schrenk’s stock portfolio has expanded. He has picked up five new clients. “I’m feeling very optimistic,” he said. “People are just far more interested in spending money.” So, there he was, shopping for an iPad.

Spending again On the other side of the country, at the Garden State Plaza mall in Paramus, N.J., Marie Bauer, who sells clothing for a living, was feeling similarly emboldened. “I’m working more now,” she said. “I bought myself a watch.” As John Morris, a retail analyst with BMO Capital Markets, wandered past stores like Gap and J. Crew on his weekly “mall check,” he spotted large numbers of women 25 to 45 years of age — prime earning years. “The mainstay of the mall is back,” he said. “That’s your signal that we’re in a more meaningful recovery with staying power.” A year ago, Columbia Sportswear, the Portland-based apparel brand, was holding back on orders to retail customers whose finances seemed worrisome. Now, Columbia has a backlog of orders reaching 20 percent. “People saw that the world didn’t come to an end,” said Timothy Boyle, Columbia’s president and chief executive. “Maybe they just said, ‘Hey, I can at least spend a little bit of money.’” Spending power has been enhanced by a monumental reduction in household debt, which has shrunk by about $600 billion since the fall of 2008, according to Equifax credit data analyzed by Economy.com. That amounts to about $6,300 a household. “Household deleveraging is clearing the decks for better consumer spending going forward,” said Zandi. Still, some economists note that many consumers are reaching into savings to finance spending, suggesting consumption could run out of fuel. “Look at employment and income,” said Brian Bethune, chief U.S. financial economist at the economic analysis firm, IHS Global Insight. “It’s glacial. If we don’t get strong growth in employment and income, we’re really just building this up as a house of cards.” The American savings rate climbed during the recession but has recently fallen. Among households in the top fifth of American incomes — those earn-

ing $98,000 a year and up — the savings rate dropped to 2 percent of income in the first half of 2007 and then spiked above 14 percent by the middle of 2008, according to an analysis of Federal Reserve data by Economy.com. By the end of last year, the savings rate of this group had slipped back to 3.5 percent. Since the end of World War II, the first year after a recession tends to feature growth at roughly twice the pace of the decline during the downturn, implying a current pace exceeding 7 percent. Yet even optimistic economists assume the economy is growing at perhaps half that rate. “I keep calling it a half-speed recovery, not the full-speedahead recovery that we typically get after deep, prolonged recessions,” said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group in Pittsburgh. But at a Porsche dealership in downtown Los Angeles, the sales manager, Victor Ghassemi, has seen sales rise by about 5 percent in recent weeks, a trend he attributes to rising stock portfolios. “People get tired of holding on to their money, or just sitting at home and not doing anything,” he said. “People love to shop. And you take that privilege away from somebody, it lasts about a year. Eventually, people want to come back. They want to buy new merchandise, a new product, to make them feel really good about themselves.”

Will it mean more jobs? The key question is whether this burst of consumption will prompt businesses to hire, adding paychecks needed to amplify economic growth and replace the 8 million net jobs lost in the course of the recession. Optimists suggest this is already unfolding, pointing to the addition of 162,000 net jobs in March, the biggest surge of hiring in more than two years. In this view, job growth amounts to a correction after excessive layoffs during the worst of the crisis. “You didn’t fire people because

you had a judicious plan about how to run your company,” said Robert Barbera, chief economist at the research and trading firm ITG. “You fired pell-mell because you were afraid you were going to lose access to credit.” Now, he argues, companies are guided by a new anxiety that demands hiring: fear of missing out on the profits of fresh growth. Still to come, he added, is a wave of spending from American businesses. “They are awash in cash,” Barbera said. “They’re in a position to step up spending across the board.” Technology companies are already benefiting from strong consumer growth. Sales of PCs rose more than 5 percent last year, trumping analysts’ predictions of double-digit declines. This month, Intel, the world’s largest chipmaker, reported its highest first-quarter revenue in history. Google added about 800 jobs over the first three months of this year, and Amazon has added 1,800. Intel plans to hire 1,000 to 2,000 employees this year. Silicon Valley is already cashing in on the return of Wall Street, as trading houses fold profits into new high-speed computer systems aimed at securing a competitive edge. Global trade holds promise. At the Port of Portland — a major shipping point for commodities harvested as far east as the Great Plains — the tonnage of goods swelled by 42 percent during the first three months of the year compared with a year earlier. Minerals like soda ash — an important industrial ingredient to make glass and detergent — increased by 93 percent. Activity here and at ports along the Pacific coast is generating business through related industries. Rail freight traffic was up nearly 8 percent in March from a year earlier, according to the Association of American Railroads. That has bolstered revenue for Greenbrier, a Portland-based maker of rail cars that was hard hit during the recession. At Diversified Services Inc., a truck repair business in Mira Loma, Calif., General Manager Dave Pilarcik is contemplating hiring, as customers put their fleets back on the road. “For the first time in a long time,” he said, “I’ve seen a little bit more movement.”

Also, the list of candidates he is thought to be considering most seriously does not yield a life story comparable to Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s projects-to-Princeton story that Obama called “extraordinary” in nominating the court’s first Latina. The three believed to be under the most serious consideration at this point are Solicitor General Elena Kagan, a former dean of Harvard Law School; Judge Diane Wood, an intellectual who has served for 15 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in Chicago; and Judge Merrick Garland of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, whose resume is far closer to that of Chief Justice John Roberts than to Sotomayor’s. Orin Kerr, a law professor at George Washington University, poked fun at the “diversity” of the three frontrunners in a posting on the conservative-leaning Web log The Volokh Conspiracy. He noted that they had clerked for liberal Supreme Court justices and worked in the Clinton administration. “Will Obama pick the former deputy assistant attorney general for the criminal division (Garland), the former deputy assistant attorney general for the antitrust division (Wood)

or the former associate White House counsel (Kagan)?” Kerr wondered. Christopher Eisgruber, the provost of Princeton University who has written a book about Supreme Court nominations, agreed that the resumes do not seem to match Obama’s rhetoric. “I can’t square this circle right now, based on the criteria he has listed,” Eisgruber said. But John Payton, president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, said there is another way to interpret the president’s remarks: that Obama is looking for someone who would show some deference to “the legislative branch’s prerogative in making laws that they think are for the benefit of the country.” Payton listed proposed reform of the financial industry, the recently passed health care law and attempts to regulate campaign finance as areas that raise constitutional questions and are of particular interest to the White House. He said that could favor someone who has not served on the bench, since judges might be more protective of the judiciary’s role. The divisive social interests that usually surround a Supreme Court nomination — abortion, gun rights, affirmative action — may become important this year. But the major theme has become what Obama and Democrats refer to as the pro-corporation leanings of the conservative members of the court. Simon Lazarus, public policy counsel at the National Senior Citizens Law Center, noted that Democrats and liberal activist groups are remarkably in sync. Last week, the Alliance for Justice released a report called “Unprecedented Injustice: The Political Agenda of the Roberts Court.” Days later, People for the American Way followed with “The Rise of the Corporate Court: How the Supreme Court is Putting Business First.” Lazarus said the groups are using the reports to emphasize that conservatives on the court have become activists, “bending the law to favor the big guy over the little guy.”

Deschutes County treasurer, assessor run unopposed By Diane S.W. Lee The Bulletin

Two Deschutes County officials are running unopposed in the November election. Treasurer Marty Wynne and Assessor Scot Langton are running for re-election. Wynne, 66, has served as Deschutes County’s finance director since 1996. He was appointed county treasurer to fill out the remainder of Helen Rastovich’s term in 1997, when she retired. He earns a $10,569 stipend per year as county treaInside surer and serves a four-year • Meet term. Wynne has not spent any Assessor money on his campaign and has Scot Langton, not formed a political action comPage B5 mittee to raise money. As treasurer, he oversees the county’s investments and distributes property taxes to the property tax districts. Wynne is concerned with the safety of the county’s investments in the current economic environment, and said he is working hard to keep the county’s finances secure by investing in low-risk investments, and making sure there are enough funds to meet the county’s financial demands.

Wind, rain coming after today’s sun By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Enjoy the sun and warm weather today, because rain and colder temperatures are headed Central Oregon’s way for the rest of the week. A broad storm will move into the region tonight, bringing several days of rain, said Ann Adams, an assistant forecaster for the National Weather Service in Pendleton. “The winds will pick up as well, so it will be kind of gusty and rainy,” Adams said. The crest line of the Cascades could get a couple of inches of snow tonight, and the snow level will likely drop as low as 3,500 feet in the Bend area Wednesday night, Adams said. The high temperature in Bend today could reach the mid-60s, but temperatures will probably dip into the high 30s tonight with rain likely, according to the National Weather Service website. The chance of rain showers will continue through Friday, with daytime highs in the low to mid-50s, and overnight lows in the 30s. Snow showers are possible Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.

racy Miller couldn’t have picked a better day for her first neighborhood trash pickup event on Sunday,

when sunny skies and blossoming bulbs made it feel like spring in Bend’s Larkspur Neighborhood. Despite the fliers Miller circulated in her southeast Bend neighborhood, her first trash pickup didn’t have a big turnout. But it did result in cleaner streets and led Miller to meet one of her neighbors, Margaret Wolf. Thursday was the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, and Miller said that inspired her at the last minute to organize the cleanup. Two decades ago, she organized events to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Earth Day. “I think it’s a good time now to pick up (trash in) your neighborhood and meet neighbors,” Miller said. At about 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Mill-

er and Wolf set off walking down Edgewater Lane, where Miller lives. They inspected the sides of the street, and quickly filled their black garbage bags with scraps of paper, plastic bottles and even pieces of metal. Another neighbor and her two children showed up later to help. Wolf, who retired after a career with the Bureau of Land Management, said she worked on many cleanups the agency organized. She walks through the Larkspur Neighborhood on a daily basis and had wanted to do a cleanup event there. See Trash / B5

E. coli victim’s family grateful for support The Associated Press VANCOUVER, Wash. — Ronan Wilson came into the world too soon, born 12 weeks early. He left in the same way, too soon. Wilson, 4, died April 8 at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland. Wilson’s death came after his body was overtaken by E. coli O157:H7 bacteria, which he contracted at his child care center. In an interview with The Columbian, his parents, Bonnie and Anthony Wilson, said they’ve received a huge outpouring of support from the community. But the family also wishes the Clark County Health Department would have made a public announcement sooner so doctors and parents would have been more vigilant. The first child at the center tested positive March 19. When Bonnie first took Ronan to see a doctor March 29, even though

she mentioned a child had E. coli, the doctor assumed Ronan had the flu. “We don’t want this to happen to anyone else,” Bonnie said. “My goal is to tell Ronan’s story and make it known that he mattered.” Clark County health officer Dr. Alan Melnick said he didn’t shut down Fletch Family Daycare until April 2 out of concern that other parents who used the facility could take their children to different day cares and risk exposing others. Melnick’s decision to close the facility came after tests showed seven more children and staff with no symptoms tested positive for the E. coli strain. “This is really tragic, and we’re certainly concerned about the kids who were hospitalized, but we’re also concerned about keeping this from spreading to other parts of the community,” Melnick said April 10. The strain involved, E. coli

O157:H7, which is best known for its role in large outbreaks traced to ground beef or produce. However, person-to-person transmission can be a problem in day care settings or nursing homes. In some cases, especially in young children, infection can lead to lifethreatening complications. Bonnie Wilson told The Columbian her son loved attending the center, as did his older brother, Gavin. “I feel like she’s family,” she said of Dianne Fletch, one of the center operators. “I really think they did their best.” Bonnie Wilson said her son had overcome being born premature and many of the colds and earinfections he suffered in his early years. They said Ronan loved trains, dinosaurs and dragons but was particularly fond of monkeys. When he went to a Build-ABear store and spotted a monkey, he knew right away that’s what he wanted.

“That was just his personality. He was very strong-willed,” Bonnie Wilson said. Ronan arrived at Doernbecher on April 1, four days after first seeing a doctor. The E. coli first attacked Ronan’s kidneys, and he was put on dialysis. He had colon surgery April 3 and never woke up again. Brain scans showed the bacteria had attacked his brain, and Ronan’s parents were told that if he did recover, he’d be physically disabled and brain-damaged. Then Ronan’s brain began swelling. Ultimately, his parents were faced with the decision whether to crack open their son’s skull and allow the brain room to keep swelling or to say goodbye. His parents are going forward. Bonnie says she allows herself to be angry and to cry, but she’s surprised herself with her strength. “Ronan was an old soul,” she said. “He had a wiseness in his eyes.”

4 Bend teens arrested in armed robbery Bulletin staff report Four Bend teens were arrested over the weekend in connection with a reported armed robbery in an east Bend movie theater parking lot and a string of car thefts around the city. Around 8:45 p.m. Friday, police were dispatched to the Regal Pilot Butte 6 Cinema at Highway 20 and 27th Street after two other teens reported that they’d been approached by a group of suspects who pulled out a handgun. The two 18-year-old Bend residents ran to a nearby gas station, where they called police, according to a news release from the Bend Police Department. Officers from the Bend Police Department, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police searched near the scene with the help of Bend and Deschutes County police dogs, but were unable to find the suspects or their vehicle, a blue van. Police continued to investigate the reported robbery and around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, officers found the vehicle around Northeast Watt Way and Forum Drive. Police recovered two handguns that had been reported stolen and arrested Ocean Estrada, 18, and Tzlacatzin Ramirez, 19, both of Bend, on suspicion of robbery, menacing, unlawful use of a weapon and conspiracy. After those arrests, police served several search warrants, recovered another four stolen guns and arrested two other suspects. Luciano Ortega Trejo, 17, of Bend, was arrested on suspicion of robbery, unlawful use of a weapon and conspiracy, and Diego Ramirez, 18, also of Bend, was arrested on suspicion of theft. Estrada and Ramirez were lodged in the Deschutes County jail, while Trejo was lodged at the Deschutes County Juvenile Detention Facility. Ramirez was released with a citation for first-degree theft, the release said. Bend Police Lt. Ken Stenkamp said Sunday evening that police believe the teens were involved in more than 20 car break-ins in east Bend over the last two weeks. He said officials have recovered other items from the thefts, including car stereo equipment.

Columbia River dredging project in its final phase By Amy Hsuan and Scott Learn The Oregonian

PORTLAND — Twenty years ago, a massive dredging effort to deepen 103 miles of the mighty Columbia River held the promise of securing Oregon’s connection to the rest of the world. At 43 feet, the channel — otherwise too shallow to compete with deepwater ports — could play host to today’s larger vessels and more efficiently send Northwest wheat and steel to markets around the globe. But with the Columbia River Channel Improvement project drawing to a close by the end of this year, the environmental and economic promises of the now $178.4 million project could fall short of the taxpayer investment, especially in an economy that’s resulted in an unprecedented decline in international trade, a review by The Oregonian found. The cost of the project, estimated at $134 million in 2003 to calculate its cost-benefit, has grown by 33 percent and taken years longer to complete than expected. Many of the restoration projects promised as environmental sweeteners at the outset of the project fell through, although there’s no evidence of the project harming fish. The economic benefits of channel deepening have been jeopardized by a global recession that’s driven down ship traffic. The shipping vessels Oregon and Washington leaders were counting on may not arrive.

Controversy Port officials from Portland to Longview have long said deepening the Columbia River, which stoked controversy and a flurry of environmental lawsuits, is a matter of survival for upriver ports struggling to compete against bigger, more accessible ports in Seattle, Tacoma and Vancouver, B.C. But in the drive to become more efficient, shipping companies are likely to build ever-larger vessels, sparking a boom in dredging activity worldwide as ports race to land lucrative shipping contracts. Ultimately, the Columbia River may still be too shallow. “I don’t think the final chapter has been written on the big ships,” said Bill Wyatt, the Port of Portland’s executive director. “The measure of success won’t come for years.” The Columbia River, one of the world’s most important trade routes for grain, has never been deep enough in the eyes of the shipping industry. As far back as 1878, the chan-

“There’s historically been a problem with water depth. We’re the only major river port on the West Coast.” — Barry Horowitz, Portlandbased international trade consultant nel was dug to 20 feet, then to 40 feet by the 1960s. But as overseas trade rose in the late 1980s, oceangoing vessels grew even larger to carry more cargo. “There’s historically been a problem with water depth,” said Barry Horowitz, a Portlandbased international trade consultant. “We’re the only major river port on the West Coast.”

Exporting Northwest exports — wheat, steel and minerals — tend to be heavier than items arriving from overseas — shoes, clothing and tires. Local exports require greater river depth to fill vessels to capacity. At 40 feet, ships loading at Columbia Grain, a major exporter at the Port of Portland’s Terminal 5, can only take up to 60,000 tons, even on ships built for 70,000 tons, said the company’s president, Tom Hammond. “At times, it makes our shipping costs higher,” he said. Losing business on the river would be devastating, said advocates of the project. Exporters would have to transport goods by truck or train to other ports at a higher cost. In 1989, Portland and five other ports — Vancouver, St. Helens, Woodland, Kalama and Longview — asked the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a feasibility study. The costs fluctuated over the course of the next decade as the scope of the project changed. From the outset, the ratio of estimated cost to estimated economic benefit — the key decision point on whether the corps should do a project — was close to not making financial sense. In 2003, the project got the green light with an estimated $134 million cost for two years of construction, which would provide a return of $1.71 in economic benefits for every taxpayer dollar spent. Washington and Oregon, which used state lottery bonds, each contributed $27.7 million. Federal taxpayers picked up the rest. Under corps policy, project estimates used to calculate costbenefits and to win Congressional approval are based on

budgets and timelines reflecting ideal conditions. In reality, corps projects typically take years longer to complete, driving up costs. In 2003, corps staff asked Congress for $148.8 million for twoyears of construction starting in 2005. But by 2005, when construction started, the price tag rose to $151 million and the economic cost-benefit fell to $1.66. “It’s an ideal estimate,” said Laura Hicks, a project manager for the corps. “Ultimately, we had to complete the project in a less efficient manner based on the dollars appropriated.” Corps officials say the estimated cost to complete the project in 2010 is $184.7 million, and they will likely finish lower. John Martin, a Pennsylvaniabased expert and supporter of channel deepening, said corps cost estimates are usually off the mark. “By the time they start construction, it’s based on 5- or 6-year-old data,” Martin said. “They don’t go back and look at the true benefits. The process is completely broken.”

O B 2 killed when bus hits pedestrians

Fiery car crash claims 18-year-old

PORTLAND — A city bus ran over a group of pedestrians crossing the street in Portland, killing two women and injuring three others. Police say the Tri-Met bus was turning left from Northwest Glisan Street onto Northwest Broadway Boulevard late Saturday when it hit the people crossing Broadway. Officers found several people trapped beneath the bus. Two women died at the scene. Police identified them as 26-year-old Jenee Hammel, of Gresham, and 22year-old Danielle Sale, of Vancouver, Wash. A 22-year-old man, Robert Gittings, of Idaho, was taken to a hospital in critical condition. Ryan Hammel, 28, and Jamie Hammel, 23, both from Portland, were taken to the hospital with nonlifethreatening injuries. Jenee Hammel was Jamie Hammel’s sister-in-law and Ryan Hammel’s sister. Police say the collision is under investigation and speed doesn’t appear to be a factor. No arrests have been made.

YAMHILL — An early morning car crash has claimed the life of an 18-year-old high school student. Yamhill County Sheriff Jack Crabtree says in a news release that Brady Fischer died when his pickup was found on its side engulfed in flames around 4:10 a.m. Due to ammunition detonating in the fire, emergency officials had to back away from the fire for a time.

bar they frequent for poker games. The robbery attempt happened early Saturday morning at the Narrows Tavern, The News-Review of Roseburg reports. The men, wearing masks, entered the bar with a shotgun and demanded cash. They left empty-handed when a patron of the bar and an employee confronted the men. Michael West, a cook at the bar, said the two men were shaking and didn’t speak, only holding a sign reading, “Open the safe and give us the money.” West says he doesn’t think they said anything for fear of being identified. Nathan Allen Baker, 22, of Glide, and William Oliver Saxton, 22, of Idleyld Park, were later arrested. They were being held at the Douglas County jail. — From wire reports

The environment A big fear before the project began was that dredging would cause a host of environmental woes, from directly harming fish to boosting salt-water intrusion to increasing contaminants in the river’s estuary. Regulators say it’s too early to tell — monitoring will continue for another three years. But so far, contamination has been low and fish damage minimal. Other environmental aspects of the dredging haven’t gone as well. Initially, the corps agreed to 736 acres of mitigation work to compensate for dumping dredged sand and rock onto farmlands, forests and wetlands. In the end, only 352 acres were completed. The agency also agreed to roughly 4,000 acres of restoration work, separate from projects to address damage to marshes and other fish habitat from past dredging. The Columbia is home to 13 endangered or threatened salmon and steelhead runs. To date, only 700 of those 4,000 acres have been restored or are in process. Another 600 acres were dropped. And the remaining 2,700 acres are pending. It’s not clear if they will be completed. Proposing a lot of restoration makes controversial river work “more palatable to the public,” said Robert Anderson, a fish biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. But in the end, it isn’t mandatory, he said.

A new warning to Americans on health costs

his week, the federal government released yet another financial analysis of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known to its critics as ObamaCare. This

one was conducted by the actuarial office of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and its two messages — one explicit, and the other implicit — will be very familiar to people who’ve read similar studies. First, the obvious: The legislation will be hugely expensive. Second: The bill’s most serious flaws underscore the value of elected officials who are both strong-willed and straightforward (by which we mean honest). If you think such qualities are important now, just wait a few years. The reform bill’s primary benefit is its expansion of health insurance to 34 million people. This will cost about $828 billion through 2019, the CMS estimates. But the cost-control measures built into the legislation will save about $577 billion over the same period, whittling the net cost down to $251 billion. This analysis, by the way, focuses only on spending and, therefore, doesn’t consider revenue that would be generated through, for instance, a tax on “Cadillac” health plans. So, while spending on health care will increase between $251 billion and $828 billion through 2019, it could theoretically be offset — or even exceeded — by increased tax revenue, thereby leaving the deficit unaffected. A lot of other things theoretically could happen, too, making the legislation both a fiscal wild card and a certain political battleground for years to come. As the CMS audit notes, the “actual future impacts ... on health expenditures, insured status, individual decisions and employer behavior are very uncertain. The legislation would result in numerous changes in the way that health care insurance is provided and paid for ... and the scope and magnitude of these changes are such that few precedents exist for use in estimation.” Assuming that something this large and complex will work as planned is as naive as building a space shuttle in your garage and expecting it to deliver a satellite flawlessly into orbit. Two of the most worrisome unknowns are mechanisms designed to control health care spending. One of these assumes that many health care providers can become much more productive if pressured by Scroogelike Medicare payments. The CMS, not mincing words, calls this potentially “unrealistic.” Providing health care tends to be labor-intensive, says the CMS. Thus, adopting a payment schedule that assumes unrealistic gains in productivity could “cause Medicare payment rates to grow more slowly than, and in a way that was unrelated to, the providers’ cost

The people who voted for the health care bill did so knowing that the truly difficult decisions regarding access and spending wouldn’t have to be made for years. But they will have to be made at some point, and Oregonians should consider the battles ahead as they prepare to vote in May and November. of furnishing services to beneficiaries.” Providers will respond by ditching unprofitable patients, thereby “jeopardizing access to care.” That would be unfortunate, indeed, as the point of the legislation is to expand access. The other questionable spending-control mechanism is the tax on “Cadillac” health plans, which is designed not only to generate money but also to encourage employers to cut back on their insurance offerings. As they say, if you want less of something, tax it. The “Cadillac” tax, which would take effect in 2018, is, perhaps, a good idea, but it will have millions of enemies. In 2019, roughly 12 percent of insured workers will be covered by “Cadillac” plans, says the CMS. That’s a lot of people. Unfortunately, “this percentage would increase rapidly thereafter.” Political opposition to the tax, then, will be huge and, owing to the growing number of people affected, increasingly intense. Only the most determined fiscal hawks are likely to withstand demands to weaken the “Cadillac” tax. And only the most honest congress members will acknowledge the consequences of the legislation’s unrealistic Medicare payment plan: To stick with it is to limit access, and to abandon it is to drive up spending. And driving up spending — also a result of ditching the “Cadillac” tax — leads you one of two places: higher taxes or higher deficits. The people who voted for the health care bill did so knowing that the truly difficult decisions regarding access and spending wouldn’t have to be made for years. But they will have to be made at some point, and Oregonians should consider the battles ahead as they prepare to vote in May and November.

My Nickel’s Worth It’s taxpayers’ money I am normally a very optimistic person. However, I am very concerned about the financial direction of our nation. It seems to be virtually impossible for any elected official (national, state or local level) to not spend our money. They seem to think the taxpayers’ pockets are a bottomless pit they can draw from. Case in point: The recent article titled “Redmond schools consider uses for leftover funding.” Board Chairman Paul Rodby gives several possible projects they are considering spending the leftover money on. The last paragraph states, “And, finally, the district could return all or some of the money to taxpayers.” Returning the money should be the first and only option for the leftover money. Rodby, and elected officials like him, are the problem. That money belongs to the taxpayers, but he doesn’t seem to get it. When will we finally get elected officials with some business sense?

It isn’t racism You’re a racist. You’re against illegal aliens, so you’re a racist. What a crock! Who said anything about race? It is not about race and never has been about race. It is about legal versus illegal. It is about who is legally in our country and who is not. It is about who is legally allowed to

work in this country and who is not. It is about who is legally allowed public benefits and who is not. It is about illegal aliens draining our emergency room services. It is about illegal aliens draining our social service benefit budgets. It is about illegal aliens overburdening our school systems and budgets. It is even about illegal aliens getting home loans they cannot afford. It does not matter what country they are from or what their race might be. It is about the law and the voluntary compliance with the laws of our nation. Children are part of a family unit with the nationality of that family unit. Having a child in another nation does not automatically entitle the entire family unit to citizenship in that other nation, yet a few people in our nation want to sweep this problem under the carpet using a broom called racism. Whatever happened to the concept of right and wrong? Whatever happened to enforcing the laws of our nation? Dave Marlow Sisters

Nonviolent party In reference to Saraceno’s article, “Radical Tea Party,” I’d like to suggest that the writer put down the Kool-Aid and actually educate himself. The Tea Partyers are genuinely concerned about the direction in which this country is headed. The Islamic terrorists and some far left loons only want to destroy this great country and what it stands for. Yes, the Tea Partyers are angry and deservedly

so, but they are also respectful and nonviolent and always clean up after themselves. The only violence I have heard of was when Service Employees International Union (SEIU) thugs beat up a black man at a tea party. On the other hand, demonstrations held by the left almost always include violent actions. The silent majority is finally getting fed up with being accused of what the left does all too frequently. We are finally saying enough, get back to the Constitution and adhere to it. I think it would be hard to equate that with violence. I almost didn’t respond to this comparison of radical Tea Partyer and Islamic terrorists, which is ridiculous to the point of insanity on its face. But, alas, I could not restrain my violent reaction. Dennis Mikesh Redmond

Bad health bill My “friend” Joe Biden asked me to write about my views on the health care reform law recently enacted. I am happy to oblige my friend. I think the law is a historic disaster of unprecedented scope. It is a historic catastrophe for families, small business, large business and for the future of our country. It will destroy the economy even more than Congress has already destroyed it, and it will ensure that our very fine (but not perfect) health care system in this country deteriorates to the sorry state of other welfare countries. I certainly do not intend to vote for the fools who voted for this monstrosity. Mike Neary La Pine

County needs a larger jail to serve a growing population By Larry Blanton Bulletin guest columnist

hen you vote on the jail expansion bond on May 18, you will have an important opportunity to join me in keeping our community safe and saving millions of dollars in construction costs. When the Deschutes County jail opened in 1994, the county population was 91,700. Since then, the population has nearly doubled. If the number of inmates exceeds the capacity of our 228bed jail and 90-bed work center, we must release inmates before they complete their sentences — and potentially risk public safety. The time to address this problem is now. You can help by supporting the $44 million bond to expand the jail. Approval of the bond will allow us to increase jail capacity to approximately 528 inmates. Expanding the jail will prevent the risk of inmate early release for the foreseeable future. In its Dec. 5, 2005, jail

needs assessment, the ÔMNI group (a firm from California that specializes in jail needs assessment evaluations) forecast the average daily population would be 578 by year 2015. To keep inmate population below today’s capacity, the Sheriff’s Office has worked with other public safety agencies to increase the use of alternatives to incarceration. And with voters’ help, we reopened the work center in 2008. But these short-term approaches cannot sustain the imminent need for an expanded jail. Oregon law requires the sheriff of each county to house both pretrial and sentenced adult offenders in jail. Due to a backlog of case processing in the courts and related delays, the number of jail inmates in pretrial status has increased dramatically. In fact, more than half of the current inmates are being held during their case processing — not as a result of criminal sentencing. We expect the number of inmates to further increase beginning in 2012 with

IN MY VIEW the implementation of Measure 57. This measure, which was passed by voters in 2009, mandates longer sentences for repeat property offenders and drug dealers. Many citizens want to know why we can’t just use the empty beds at the state prison in Madras. An e-mail I received from Max Williams, director of the Department of Corrections, states, “I wanted to close the loop on our earlier conversation around the possibility of renting Deer Ridge Correctional Institution beds to Deschutes County. For several reasons, renting the beds in the unopened medium facility would not be the most prudent decision for both Deschutes County and the Department of Corrections at this time.” Mr. Williams’ e-mail continued to state, “We have kept the medium units at DRCI closed primarily as a budget sav-

ing strategy to avoid the opening and start up costs of that facility. We continue to be stretched very close on our medium custody beds — and at some point circumstances may force us to begin opening those units. At this time I suspect that it would be cost-prohibitive for Deschutes County to cover those opening and start up costs, particularly for beds that we will ultimately need to bring on line for our use at some future point — and we are not in a position at this time to incur those start up costs. “As the uncertainty of the situations outlined above play out, it would be difficult for the department to readily disengage from a rental agreement with another governmental agency — in order to meet the growth in the prison population. That ‘stop/go’ impact to both of our operations would present additional challenges.” The need to expand the jail is clear, and the timing is urgent. Approval of the bond now will save millions of dollars

thanks to current economic conditions. Bond interest rates are at record lows. As the economy improves, borrowing demand will increase and interest rates will rise. The jail expansion bond would cost property owners in Deschutes County about 18 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, or approximately $36 more in taxes each year for a home with an assessed value of $200,000. That’s an investment of $3 a month for increased community safety. If approved, construction will begin this year with completion in 2012. This is a difficult time for all citizens of Deschutes County, and increasing taxes is not something I take lightly. When I became sheriff in 2007, I took an oath to protect the citizens of Deschutes County. Expanding the jail is necessary to protect our safety and quality of life for all citizens of Deschutes County. Larry Blanton is the Deschutes County sheriff.

Alicia Parlette, 28, wrote newspaper series detailing her battle with cancer By Meredith May San Francisco Chronicle

SAN FRANCISCO — Alicia Parlette, who turned her incurable cancer diagnosis at age 23 into a San Francisco Chronicle series about her experience, died just before noon Thursday at the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center. She was 28. Ms. Parlette’s 17-part series, “Alicia’s Story,” drew tens of thousands of followers, who read about her trips to the doctor’s office, the therapist’s couch, her relationships with family and friends, and her faith in God. Ms. Parlette had just begun her career as a copy editor for The Chronicle after graduating from the journalism department at the University of Nevada-Reno when she found out in 2005 that she had a rare form of cancer in her hip and breast called alveolar soft part sarcoma. She got the news three years after her mother died of cancer. Despite treatments of interferon and chemotherapy, the cancer later spread to her lungs. Ms. Parlette went to the emergency room on April 2 with breathing problems and debilitating pain in her hip. Tumors in her lungs had grown to the point she could no longer breathe on her own, and the tumor in her hip had caused it to fracture. By mid-April, Ms. Parlette and her medical team decided to end treatment. Days later, she and Lucas Beeler, the boyfriend she had met on BART in October, had a private commitment ceremony. He gave her the wedding ring worn by his mother and grandmother. As her stamina declined, a steady flow of friends came to say goodbye, and thousands more sent messages via Face-

Deschutes Continued from B1 “It has been a part of my life for several years, and I would like to continue working hard to ensure that the Deschutes County funds are safeguarded and managed in accordance with sound cash management practices and compliance with Oregon state statutes,” Wynne said. Born and raised in Long Beach, Calif., Wynne has lived in Bend for 14 years. He worked as a finance director in California and served as chief financial officer for the American Red Cross in Portland. A 1971 finance graduate from California State University at Fullerton, Wynne said he looks forward to serving a fourth term beginning in January. “I feel that I have the right experience having done it for several years, and I look forward to continuing doing it,” Wynne said.

book and a website set up for her. Ms. Parlette recorded her thoughts on a digital recorder, and friends are planning to transcribe them. In her last days, she listened to friends read aloud from her favorite book, “To Kill a Mockingbird.” She died 20 minutes after her high school English teacher finished the last chapter.

‘A lifeline’ In an April 14 interview with The Chronicle, Ms. Parlette said writing “Alicia’s Story” made her feel like a writer with a capital W. “It became really like a lifeline in a way for me because

I would often come to conclusions about things — things I didn’t even realize until I had written them.” From the beginning, Ms. Parlette said her illness was linked with blessing. She didn’t think it was a coincidence that just as she was starting to feel creatively restless, she now had every reason to write. She continued to work on her series despite her illness, and the first seven chapters were turned into a book. For the past three years, Ms. Parlette shared a studio apartment with her beloved rescue dog, Clarabelle. Ms. Parlette also volunteered in the cancer center at UCSF Medical Center, sitting with patients waiting for chemotherapy treatments. Most recently, she celebrated Palm Sunday at Grace Cathedral with friends. One of her last wishes was to turn all 28 chapters and updates of “Alicia’s Story” into a comprehensive book. “Alicia loved working at The Chronicle,” said her brother Matthew. “It gave her an outlet and made her feel good to help others with cancer. She appreciated all the love and support from everyone who read her story. She wants everyone to know that cancer sucks, but always choose life and just do your best.” In one of the earliest installments of “Alicia’s Story,” Ms. Parlette wrote: “If I get through this, this story will help me remember the important moments along the way, the details, the dizzying emotions. And, in the worst of all circumstances, if I go through this life-changing ordeal and my body just wears out and I die, I will die a writer. The one thing I’ve always wanted to be.”

SCOT LANGTON Deschutes County Assessor Age: 46 Residence: Bend Family: Wife, Stephanie; two sons and a daughter Employment: Deschutes County assessor Political, community experience: Current member and former president of Oregon State Association of County Assessors; current executive committee member of Association of Oregon Counties; current member of Deschutes County Audit Committee; former elected assessor of Wallowa County; former board member of Wallowa County Search & Rescue; current committee member of Troop 18 Boy Scouts of America; and current finance committee member of St. Francis Church.

County assessor Langton, 46, is seeking another term as county assessor, and said he will continue working hard to maintain fair and accurate appraisals. In the past year, five staff positions were eliminated from his 37-member staff. Langton earns $91,433 per year as county assessor for the full-time position and serves

a four-year term. As of Friday, Langton has raised $500 for his campaign and spent $300, according to state campaign finance records. Born in Walla Walla, Wash., Langton was raised in Beaverton, and has lived in Bend for 11 years. Langton worked as deputy assessor and later as elected assessor in Wallowa County for several years. He served as the Deschutes

Lafayette Continued from B1 The agency has not determined whether to pursue measures to cut down on traffic, such as staggering employee shifts at the nearby Deschutes County government offices, or to completely shut off access from Lafayette to the southbound parkway, Murphy said. “My recommendation will be that we consider the option of restricting the turning movement from Lafayette onto the Parkway southbound,” Bob Bryant, manager of ODOT’s Central Oregon region, wrote in an April 7 letter to the Deschutes County Commission. Bryant issued his opinion in response to the County Commission’s request that ODOT do something about a large sign on the southbound side of U.S. Highway 97 near the Lafayette Avenue exit, which the commissioners said blocked views of oncoming traffic for drivers attempting to merge onto the highway. The commissioners raised the concern in a March letter to ODOT. Traffic on U.S. Highway 97 usually spikes in August, and the average daily traffic count in August 2000 was 23,935, at the point where Empire Boulevard crosses the parkway. The Bend Parkway project was finished in December 2000. By August 2007, the average daily traffic count peaked at 50,864. It dipped to

County chief property appraiser from 1999 to 2001, before he was appointed as assessor to finish the remainder of Kim Worrell’s term after he retired. A 1987 business graduate from Oregon State University, Langton said he looks forward to serving his third term beginning in January. Langton said one of the challenges as assessor is explaining the state’s complex property tax system. But Langton said he always tries to make himself available to answer questions from taxpayers and taxing districts. “I appreciate their continued support, and it’s an honor to continue as an elected assessor,” Langton said. “And I look forward to the next four years, and during that time, as always, my door is always open to the public.” Diane S.W.

Weather Continued from B1 By Saturday, skies should be mostly sunny again in Bend and temperatures will rise to the mid-50s. On Sunday, temperatures could reach the 60s, according to the National Weather Service. The forecast is similar in Madras, where the high temperature will likely be close to 70 today. Overnight temperatures will dip down to near or at freezing starting on Tuesday, with daytime highs in the 50s or high 40s and likely rain showers. Snow is not in the forecast for Madras this week, and the weather will probably return to sunny skies and high temperatures in the 60s for Saturday and Sunday. In Prineville, partly sunny skies are expected today, with rain for most of the rest of the work week. High temperatures in Prineville will be in the 50s, with overnight lows near or just below freezing. Saturday and Sunday will likely be sunny, with high temperatures in the 60s.

Prominent Russian photographer Alexander Slyusarev works at his home in Moscow in November 2009. Slyusarev died in Moscow on Friday. He started working as a photographer in the late 1950s and soon became one of the most prominent independent Soviet photographers.

W. Willard Wirtz, an outspoken champion of the unemployed who was secretary of labor under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson and was the last surviving member of the Kennedy cabinet, died Saturday. He was 98. He died of natural causes at his home in Washington, his son Philip said. An unabashed liberal who was labor secretary from 1962 to 1969, Wirtz expanded job-training programs, increased unemployment assistance for those who lost jobs to foreign trade, created literacy programs for workers and criticized construction unions’ bias against blacks. His concern about the troubles older workers faced led to the passage of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act in 1967. To fight unemployment, he proposed, unsuccessfully, changing overtime pay to double pay instead of timeand-a-half to encourage companies to hire more workers instead of heaping overtime on those already employed. Inspired by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s concern for the downtrodden, he said in an end-of-year quote in 1963 — it became the Quotation of the Day in The New York Times — “May 1964 be a year when the great majority of Americans who are secure and busy think clearly of

the minority who are not.” Wirtz led the Labor Department in an era when the federal government took a more muscular approach to managing the economy and organized labor was far stronger. He vowed not to spend most of his time as secretary intervening to resolve the era’s many strikes and threatened strikes. He wanted instead to focus on helping the unemployed, the poor, the victims of discrimination. Nonetheless, he was pulled into myriad labor disputes, trying to resolve a New York City newspaper strike, helping head off a strike by machinists at Boeing and helping to resolve a nationwide rail strike. The current labor secretary, Hilda Solis, said Wirtz’s work in implementing the anti-discrimination laws passed under Johnson helped pave the way for her to become the first Hispanic labor secretary. “As President Johnson’s general in the war on poverty, he initiated an array of programs to help atrisk youth, older workers and the hardcore unemployed,” Solis said Sunday. Wirtz was nearly forced out when he clashed publicly with Johnson over the bombing of North Vietnam. Johnson demanded that he resign in October 1968, but days later the president sent two aides to persuade him to stay.

DUII victim’s life, goals changed in an instant By Andrew Waite Peninsula Clarion

KENAI, Alaska — Blood had already started to dry in Becky Barrett’s curly blond hair. More blood was splattered on the Ford Ranger’s shattered windshield. Becky’s right hand was broken. Her left arm was pinned to the driver side door. The truck’s engine had been forced inside the cab, crushing Becky’s legs. The only light source came from a neon Budweiser sign, which seemed to flicker forth an encroaching reality. In that moment, about 12:30 a.m. on a windy September 1994 night, Becky couldn’t remember the actual impact. She could recall only those two headlights coming at her. Becky had been on her way home from her friend’s house, driving along at a steady 55 miles per hour on the Sterling Highway that night. Becky’s future was in front of her. She was 18 and had just graduated from Nikiski High School with a 3.98 grade point average. She was about a month out from starting her service with the U.S. Marine Corps — following in her big brother’s footsteps. After finishing her service, her schooling could be paid for, and she could go on to a successful, professional life. Then, on that 1994 night, she drove by a familiar bar. That’s when she saw the full-size Chevy van barreling toward her. Becky attempted to veer out of the way by turning into a ditch. But she couldn’t avoid collision. The alleged drunken driver made a lazy left turn into Becky’s lane.

World went dark When she eventually came to,

everything seemed hazy inside the pickup. Her future — both her immediate health and the rest of her life — were clouded. Over time, things would slowly clear up. She’d realize the full extent of her injuries and how her life might be different from the one she had envisioned. But mostly, the crash would teach Becky — now 34, married and living in Corvallis — that she is a survivor.

Serious injuries Becky’s injuries included a fractured femur, shattered elbow joint, fractured thighbone and fractured first rib. Glass was embedded in Becky’s forehead. She also had a broken wrist and a fractured finger. “Just by itself, a fractured femur can be a fatal injury,” said Dr. Hal Smith, who was on duty that night in the emergency room of Central Peninsula Hospital. Becky underwent more than nine hours of surgery. Doctors put a metal rod through her left femur and attached it to her hip and knee with locking screws. She would spend 10 days in the intensive care unit. While in the hospital, Becky received her medical discharge from the marines. “The landscape of a person’s life changed drastically,” Harriet Wegner, Becky’s mom, said. “It changes course, and it takes a lot of work from the community, family and friends to help that person get back on course and to have that new life.” In November of 1994, Felipe M. Perez, now 49, was charged with first-degree assault with a deadly weapon. The initial case against him alleged that he had

a .119 blood alcohol level when he crashed into Becky. The legal limit then was .10 instead of the current .08. But during court hearings, Perez’s alleged BAC reading was lowered to .086.

Perez walked In early 1995, Perez was reindicted on similar charges, but he had already left the state by then. A warrant was issued for Perez’s arrest, but nothing came of the case until 2006, when Perez was the victim of an assault in Georgia, putting his name back on police radar. He was eventually arrested for the outstanding warrant. On Friday, Perez, who is in custody at the Wildwood Correctional Complex, sat for a bail hearing in front of Judge Carl Bauman. The hearing was continued until today, when it’s possible that Perez could be released to a third-party custodian in Georgia.

Frustration, hope The absence of a resolution frustrates Becky and her family. “The failure of the judicial system is what bugged me,” Becky’s dad, Don Waldrop, said. “If he could just stand up and say ‘I’m sorry I did this to you.’” Becky believes her purpose in life now is to share her story. That’s why she volunteers with the Benton County Victim Impact Panel. One her primary goals is to prevent drunken driving. “I try to find the joy in living,” Becky said. “I don’t know how it happened that I survived my crash, but I have this chance.”

Can e-readers still compete with the iPad? By Dan Gallagher MarketWatch

SAN FRANCISCO — When Apple Inc. launched its touchscreen tablet device known as the iPad earlier this month, some analysts began ringing the death knell for so-called e-readers — most notably, the popular Amazon Kindle. After all, the two devices seem hardly comparable. The Kindle uses a black-and-white screen and is designed primarily for reading books. The iPad, by contrast, is a full-on portable computing device capable of reading, watching video and playing games as well as sending emails and typing up documents — all from a high-definition,

9.7-inch LCD touch-screen. On top of that, Apple managed to surprise the market by bringing in the iPad at a starting price of $499 — well below most estimates before the product was announced in late January. “The iPad makes things much more difficult for e-reader devices,” said Colin Sebastian, an analyst with Lazard Capital Markets who has followed the e-reader market. “Especially when you’re a higher-priced ereader, then the value proposition becomes less clear.” Still, many companies are making bets on the e-reader business.

Bill and Kathleen Leppert, owners of Mountain Oasis Properties, manage a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) home located in NorthWest Crossing. There’s a waiting list of people hoping to rent energy-efficient homes, Kathleen Leppert says.

Renting green By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

Location was key when Diana Fischetti was looking for a house to rent, since she wanted to be able to walk or bike to as many destinations as possible. And energy use was a factor as well — she reviewed the utility bills of a similar duplex next door to get an idea of how much electricity her place would use. When Nicole Strong was hunting for a place with native plants instead of turf grass, she also was surprised and excited to find a rental house whose owners had installed solar panels as well as southfacing, sunlight-catching windows and sliding-glass doors. “That’s kind of extreme, but we lucked out,” Strong said. Although green-certified homes might still be hard to come by, renters can keep an eye out for several features that will help them save money on utility bills or shrink their carbon footprint.

Energy-efficient units are out there — you just have to know what to look for

Broker Kathleen Leppert, with Mountain Oasis Properties in Bend, said she has a waiting list of people wanting to rent energy-efficient and green homes. They ask about clean-air systems and energy-saving features like efficient water heaters, she said. And they quickly snap up places certified by Energy Star, homes that meet energy-efficiency guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency and are typically 20 to 30 percent more efficient than other homes. “You save money, and you live in a better, healthier home,” she said. Green-certified homes could rent for 10 to 20 percent more than a standard house, Leppert said, but that cost could be offset by lower utility bills. And even if a home or apartment isn’t certified as green, there’s a

wide range of how efficient buildings can be — something prospective renters can investigate when they search for standard homes and apartments. One of the easiest ways people can check out the energy efficiency of a rental property is to examine how much the previous tenant paid on utilities. “It’s always good to ask for a year’s worth of utility bills, both electricity and gas,” said Bruce Sullivan, a green-building consultant with the nonprofit Earth Advantage. “There’s a lot of differences.” Both Pacific Power and Central Electric Cooperative will tell prospective renters the high, low and average monthly bills at a given address, and Cascade Natural Gas has three years of information to help people get an estimate on how much they might have to pay — and avoid the shock of a $300 bill. See Rental / C6

Attic/floor insulation Although it’s hard to tell what’s in the walls, prospective renters can check attic spaces for insulation. The current building codes call for about 14 inches of material. If possible, also check to see if there is insulation under the floor.

Furnace/water heater

Portland Ave.

Windows Are the windows energy efficient? Look for double-paned glass, and vinyl or wood frames, since they are better insulators than metal.

Heating bills in winter can add up, so check what kind of heat is used. And heating water is a significant part of a utility bill, so check for an efficient model.

Utilities Appliances

Most power and gas companies will provide high, low and average monthly bills from previous tenants for potential renters to compare.

Look for newer appliances with an Energy Star seal, since they use less energy than federal standards and can help cut electric bills.

Landscaping Consider the upkeep of the yard, including how much water it will take to irrigate lawns. Native plants can use less water, but could also require weeding. Also look for trees that could provide shade. Eric Baker / The Bulletin

Q&A: Everything you ever wanted to know about the Large Hadron Collider By Robert S. Boyd McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — The biggest science machine ever built has begun churning out the smallest known bits of matter in the universe. Its goal is to uncover some of the deepest, long-hidden secrets of nature. This enormously ambitious device is the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, a 17-milelong ring-shaped tunnel 300 feet under the SwissFrench border near Geneva. It began operations on March 30 and has been called the greatest scientific undertaking since the Manhattan Project, which

created the atomic bomb during World War II. Some scientists regard the LHC as nothing less than a “time machine” that may let them go back billions of years to study the origins of the universe. They hope it will shed light on such profound questions as: What happened immediately after the birth of the universe 13.7 billion years ago? What does most of the universe consist of? How did matter come to be? Are there more dimensions of space than the three (plus time) that we’re familiar with? See Collider / C6

Birthday parties for dead Kevin Eubanks shifts focus child cause parents pain from ‘Tonight’ to tomorrow Dear Abby: Nine years ago, my sister and I gave birth on the same day. Her daughter lived; my son died the next day. At my niece’s birthday parties, my family insists on bringing gifts for my deceased son. My niece opens his gifts, and my mother and sister then take them to the cemetery. They also order a special birthday cake for him along with the one for my niece. I have tried telling them several times that this is confusing to my 6-year-old son, and it depresses my husband and me. My husband refuses to attend any more of my niece’s birthday parties until the gifts/cake for our deceased son stop, and I’m about ready to join him. Are we being “too uptight,” as my family says, and is this behavior on the part of my family normal? Are we right to ask them to stop? And how do we convey this to them without hurting their feelings again? — Mourning Mother in Big Spring, Texas Dear Mourning Mother: The practice of taking gifts to the deceased does occur in other cultures, and is considered normal in those cultures. However, for your mother and sister to insist upon doing so when you and your husband have told them that it causes you pain is wrong. Tell them before the next party that you do not want it to happen, and exactly why. If they disregard your wishes, follow your husband’s lead and skip the parties, too. Dear Abby: I can’t seem to grow up. I think I may have something similar to a Peter Pan complex. I often fantasize about my childhood. I miss it more than I should. I am a 25-year-old female. I also do things that people usually do at younger ages. I put stickers all over everything. I

I watch youth-oriented TV shows people my age are not interested in. I’m in college, and try hard to put these things behind me, but it’s a constant battle. They stay in the forefront of my mind. With each passing year, it gets harder to hide. My parents think I act this way for attention, but it’s embarrassing, and I often don’t realize that I’m doing something childish. In contrast, my big brother (age 29) is out of college, married and leading a positive, normal life. Do I need help? — Childish Adult Dear Childish Adult: When someone is a child, she isn’t ready to assume the responsibilities of adulthood. But when an adult clings to the trappings

of childhood as you have, it may be because the responsibilities — and privileges — of adulthood are in some way threatening. Do you need help? Possibly, because what’s going on is troubling you. And the place to find it is in the counseling department of your student health center. Dear Abby: While in a department store recently, I lost my credit cards, driver’s license, important papers and a sizable sum of money. Two employees called me later to say they had found my belongings. When I returned to the store to pick up my things, I presented the young women with a basket of fruits and chocolate along with my thanks. Some friends told me I was wrong not to reward them with money. Did I do the right thing? — In Luck in New York Dear In Luck: It was thoughtful of you to bring the fruits and chocolate, but if the “sizable sum of money” was still in your wallet, it would have been “sweeter” had you given them some money in addition.

PHILADELPHIA — “American Idol” will have an easier time replacing Simon Cowell than “The Tonight Show” will filling the shoes of Kevin Eubanks. For the last 15 years, Eubanks has kept the late-night institution purring, serving as Jay Leno’s bandleader, second banana and comedy-sketch sidekick. (Prior to that, he was a member of the Tonight Show Band for three years under Branford Marsalis.) With his amused manner, winning smile and easy chuckle, Eubanks has made it all look so easy that viewers tended to take him for granted. Until, that is, the guitarist announced earlier this month that he will be stepping down at the end of May. What led to his decision? “I’ve been trying to put my finger on it,” he said by phone last week. “It kind of creeps up on you after that long — 18 years on television, five days a week, 46 weeks a year and never missing a day of work. It’s a lot to keep that energy up every day.” Some in the press have speculated that Eubanks’ departure was precipitated

to abandon one to do the other,” he continues. “There are some shows that tape only four months out of the year, so there’d be time to do a variety of things.” The guitarist’s career has been almost evenly split between nonstop touring and punching the clock at “The Tonight Show.” Which is the better lifestyle? “I think it depends on where you are in your career, what your age is, whether you have a wife and kids,” he says. “I’m not married, and I don’t have a wife so I can try this and try that. On the road, in a TV studio, it all works pretty good for me.” As he prepares to leave TV’s late-night arena, Eubanks is proud of his contribution. “It’s a continuum. The bandleader tradition goes back to Doc (Severinsen) and all his flamboyancy,” he says. “(Johnny Carson) made the band a character, let it be part of the formula. “Every band since likes to think they started something. For me, that was being part Ed McMahon and a bandleader and appearing in skits.”

On me. But you still have to do your routine. My job was to make sure (the band) stayed focused and didn’t get caught up in things we had no control over. I just need a change of pace.” For the moment, he’s keeping his post-“Tonight” options wide open. “I want to play some music and not just jazz,” he says. “Other genres, too. It’s weird, but I don’t consider myself just a jazz musician.” So there’s a good chance he’ll put together an ensemble and take it into the recording studio or out on tour. But surprisingly, Eubanks, 52, is also determined to stay active in television. “People say, ‘Oh, we thought you would go back on the road.’ Well, I learned a lot, and I’m proud of being able to work in this medium,” he says. “I don’t feel it’s necessary

Jennifer Carpenter says her husband and “Dexter” co-star, Michael C. Hall, has “fully recovered” from cancer.

Wife: ‘Dexter’ star Bret Michaels in critical recovered from cancer condition in hospital NEW YORK — The wife of Michael C. Hall says the “Dexter” star is “fully recovered” from cancer and has returned to work. Jennifer Carpenter said Friday that Hall was “incredibly brave” when he announced in January that he was undergoing treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer that attacks the lymph nodes. The 38-year-old Hall went into remission and continued treatment at a health facility near Los Angeles. Hall won a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe Award earlier this year for his portrayal of Dexter, a serial killer who targets other murderers. Carpenter stars on the bloody Showtime hit series as Dexter’s seemingly unknowing sister.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, April 26, 2010: This year, you will witness many changes. How well your life works will depend on your flexibility and willingness to work with others. If your ideas haven’t worked up till now, try new ones. Listen to avantgarde thinking. See where you have closed off your thought process. If you are single, a relationship could be exciting, but not necessarily stable. If you are attached, use care with your children or loved ones. Close loved ones might be more touchy than in the past. LIBRA is a good co-worker. 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) HHH Deferring to others really isn’t like you, but you are experiencing considerable pressure. You might not feel comfortable with a choice. Hedging helps create a little extra time. Know that you can find the answer. You might not be looking in the right place. Tonight: Give up being rigid. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH An easy pace works well, but others might be having a very difficult time. Others often dump their stuff on you.

Rental

it can do a lot to keep the house cool all day long.

How to create a more earth-friendly yard

Continued from C1 Still, if the previous tenant blasted the heat at 80 degrees during the winter, machine dried multiple loads of laundry a day or left televisions on 24/7, the number might be skewed. So renters also can do their own energy audit of a rental before signing a lease, Sullivan said. Grab a flashlight and tape measure and peek inside the attic to check the insulation, he said — the current building standard is for about 14 inches of material to keep heat in during the winter. And if a house-hunter can check under the floor, look for insulation there, too. It would be optimal to have the space below the floor filled with insulation, Sullivan said: “And anything is better than nothing.” If possible, examine the heating ducts as well. If those are disconnected or leaky, it can add to the heat bill. Renters also should ensure the building itself has been wellmaintained, said Andy High, vice president for government affairs with the Central Oregon Builders Association. If the siding has big gaps, it could indicate a leaky, drafty house.

Outside factors

By Nara Schoenberg

The little things Within the house, look for little things like an Energy Star label on refrigerators and other appliances, High said, which can help shrink utility bills. “It’s the little things that add up,” he said. Water heaters, which can account for 30 percent of a home’s energy use, also should be on a checklist, High said. Many tanks will have a yellow sticker outlining the device’s energy use and efficiency, so renters can compare the different models in different houses. Windows also are a key feature to check out, High said. Double-paned windows will help insulate the house, but he also suggested looking at the windows’ frames — metal can leak heat or collect condensation, so wood or vinyl is preferable. Then, check out the window coverings, suggested M.L. Vidas, a building adviser with Bend’s Sustainable Design Services. Simple Venetian blinds aren’t going to help hold heat in during the winter, or keep it out during the summer, she said. So househunters can ask if they are allowed to hang curtains, which are typically better at insulating than plastic or aluminum blinds. And if the windows can open, it can help in summer, she added. If people open windows at night, then close them during the day,

E-readers Continued from C1 And analysts say those bets could still pay off, depending on how they are executed. IDC estimates that about 2.5 million e-readers were sold in 2009, and that number is expected to double to 5.1 million this year. Those estimates have attracted several players to the market, with more coming. This year’s Consumer Electronics Show, which took place in January, showcased several such devices, which targeted market niches that ranged from book readers to newspapers to devices that are designed primarily for business uses. Still, the Kindle from Amazon .com rules the e-reader market with an estimated 60 percent share, according to estimates from Forrester Research. Sony Corp. is believed to have accounted for another 35 percent of the e-readers sold last year, with other vendors splitting the rest. Worries about the iPad’s effect on the Kindle have helped to weigh down Amazon’s stock this year. The shares are up 4 percent since the first of the year — an underperformance compared to the Nasdaq Composite, which has gained more than 8 percent in the same period. Many analysts still see a strong future for dedicated e-readers — depending on price, content and other factors that could help them stand out to consumers. First and foremost, most e-readers are still priced at a sharp discount to the iPad. The Kindle and its rival device called the Nook — sold by Barnes & Noble — both start at $259. Sony sells a model for $199 called the Pocket Edition, with another touch-screen version priced at $299. But others have little space from the iPad. IRex, a reader that went on sale at Best Buy earlier this year, sells for $399. Plastic Logic, a venture-backed startup, introduced an e-reader at CES that it

Check the yard for trees as well, Vidas said, since big, shady vegetation can help cool off a house in summer. And look at the ground cover as well — if renters are responsible for paying the water bills, they might not want to irrigate bright-green lawns throughout the summer, she said. If the goal is to reduce energy use and cost, Vidas added, location should factor into a rental decision as well. “One of the key things that people forget is transportation costs — what it costs to go from where you live to where you work,” she said. “If a person’s going to be there for a long time, it can add up to a substantial impact.” Vidas recommends mapping out popular destinations — work, school, shopping, grocery stores — and then considering housing choices with the map in mind. The monthly rent in one place might be cheaper, she said, but driving long distances adds on to a monthly budget as well.

A new issue Although there are things to look for, renters don’t have complete control over making their house green. Fischetti, who works with Earth Advantage, told her landlord a year ago that the heating ducts in her house were disconnected, blowing hot air into the crawl space, but he hasn’t done anything about it yet, she said. She owns a house in Eugene and has been working with Lane County’s landlord association to determine what renters can change in a house, and what they can’t — but it’s still a new issue, she said. “You’re not terribly empowered to get the information you need ahead of time, and you’re not terribly empowered to do much in terms of efficiency,” Fischetti said. If landlords made the investments to help properties become more efficient and lower energy bills, it could attract potential renters, Sullivan said. But for landlords to realize there’s a demand, tenants have to start inquiring about a home’s earth-friendly features. “If more people ask for it, it’s kind of like voting with your dollars if you gravitate toward (energy-efficient) places,” Sullivan said. “Just asking the questions is a really important way to get people to take this seriously.” Kate Ramsayer can be reached at 541-617-7811 or at kramsayer@bendbulletin.com.

planned to start at $650 for a model that only offers Wi-Fi connectivity, and $800 for one that can access a 3G wireless network. The Plastic Logic Que was originally planned to launch this month, but the company delayed the release until June 24 “in order to fine-tune the features and enhance the overall product experience.” Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps says e-readers will have to compete with the iPad mainly on price, since there is no way for them to offer the same capabilities. “We do see a role for a standalone e-reader, but it’s not going to be a premium price point,” Epps said in an interview. “They will have to get under $99 to get the mainstream market.” Besides price, analysts believe e-readers can set themselves apart from the iPad in other ways. Product design is one area. While the iPad is widely hailed for its sharp design, one disadvantage is its 1.5-pound weight, which is more than double the weight of the 10.2-ounce Kindle. This would be a serious issue for those looking to use a Kindle or iPad for long-form reading. “Weight is an attribute that’s easy to overlook,” said Rubin. “If you have an extra pound on your laptop, you won’t be feeling it most of the time. But if you have an extra pound on a tablet device, you will certainly feel that.” Adding a color screen is another. While fine for book reading, devices with black-and-white screens are unlikely to be a draw for readers — and publishers of — newspapers and magazines, who are all gravitating toward the iPad. Color screens using EInk technology are not available yet, but are in development. E-readers such as the Kindle, Nook and Alex from Spring Design will have another advantage through ties to big retailers. The Alex will be sold through retail chain Borders later this year. The iRex and Sony e-readers are sold through Best Buy.

Chicago Tribune

Want to make the planet a little greener? Look no farther than your own backyard — or, for that matter, your own front yard. The U.S. is home to 32 million acres of lawn, or enough to cover the 100 largest U.S. cities almost twice, says Owen Dell, author of “Sustainable Landscaping for Dummies” (For Dummies, 2009). Lawns suck up 270 billion gallons of water a week and burn 800 million gallons of (mower) gas a year. And then there are the pesticides and the chemical-based fertilizers. “I use this analogy,” Dell says. “If you take care of yourself —

exercise, eat right, don’t drink too much alcohol, don’t use drugs — you’re going to have a much better chance of staying healthy. Similarly, if you keep the landscape healthy, whether it’s the lawn or anything else, you’re going to have fewer problems.” How do you break free of the high-maintenance lawn care cycle? Drawing from interviews with Dell, Tom Christopher, editor of “The New American Sustainable Garden” (due out next year from Timber Press) and Annie Spiegelman, author of “Talking Dirt” (Perigee, 2010), we assembled a list of basic tips to get you started. • Don’t overwater. “Most people

grossly overwater their lawns,” Dell says. Consider getting a free “water audit” if your water company offers one, or just turn the sprinkler off and observe the results. If your grass doesn’t spring back when you step on it in the heat of the afternoon, it’s time to water. • Water deeply. Spiegelman says it’s better to water deeply than frequently. Many lawns do well with 15 to 20 minutes at a time, once or twice a week. For maximum efficiency, give the water a chance to seep in: Water for 10 minutes, wait 20 minutes and then finish watering. • Give the soil breathing room. Aerate your lawn once or twice a year in spring or fall with a gas- or foot-powered aerator.

Collider

Anti-matter is just like ordinary matter, except its electric charges are reversed. Anti-protons carry a negative charge, while anti-electrons, also known as positrons, have a positive charge. When matter and anti-matter meet, they annihilate each other. Scientists believe equal amounts of matter and anti-matter were created in the Big Bang, but almost all the anti-matter is gone. The LHC may provide clues as to why this happened.

Continued from C1 The answers to those questions may have no immediate practical applications, but history has shown repeatedly that advances in fundamental science usually lead to useful things such as telephones, radios, computers, improved manufacturing, nuclear energy, global positioning satellites and so on. “Since World War II, science and technology have been responsible for half of America’s economic progress,” said Alan Leshner, the president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington. Here are some common questions and answers about the new collider:

Q: A:

How does the LHC work? Bunches of protons, the nuclei of hydrogen atoms, are injected into the tunnel by a series of accelerators that boost their speed to 99.9999991 percent of the speed of light. The magnets steer the protons around the ring 11,245 times a second in concentrated beams. They zip through the tunnel in two parallel pipes, half of them running clockwise, half counterclockwise. At four locations, the beams cross each other, crashing protons into each other head on. What happens then?

The proton collisions produce a spray of even tinier particles, mostly “quarks,” which are the smallest, most fundamental building blocks of matter so far discovered. According to CERN, protons are 100,000 times smaller than the simplest atom, hydrogen, and quarks are 10,000 times smaller than protons. For comparison, if a hydrogen atom were six miles across, a quark would still measure less than four-thousandths of an inch.

What happens to the data generated by the LHC? CERN estimates the collider produces about 700 megabytes of data per second, enough to fill a 12-mile-high stack of CDs per year. The material will be distributed worldwide over the Internet.

Q: A:

How much does the LHC cost? About $5 billion so far for design, construction and operation.

Q: A:

The Associated Press file photo

Who runs the LHC?

The builder and operator is the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, an acronym for its original, slightly different French name. CERN began as a collaboration of 12 nations in 1952 and now has 20 members. The U.S. joined as an observer, not a full member, in 1997, but hundreds of Americans work there, along with a rotating cast of more than 10,000 scientists, engineers and technicians from around the world.

Q: A:

Just how big is it?

The underground ring is lined with 1,232 50-footlong magnets, each weighing 35 tons. The tunnel also contains four gigantic particle detectors, as big as apartment buildings, plus two smaller ones, all crammed with scientific instruments. The whole complex is chilled by 120 tons of liquid helium to almost absolute zero, colder even than outer space.

What do scientists hope to learn from all this?

This loosens the roots and lets water and fertilizers penetrate. Dell suggests removing nine or 10 little soil “cores” per square foot of lawn and raking compost into the holes. • Try a lush look. If you keep your grass 3 inches high, it will “shade out” weeds, denying them the sun they need to grow and take over your lawn, Spiegelman says. • Reduce your lawn size. Less lawn means less watering, Spiegelman notes. Consider a border planted with low-maintenance ground cover instead of grass. • Keep grass clippings. Rather than removing them, rake them gently over your lawn, Spiegelman says. They’re free and rich in the plant nutrient nitrogen.

By slamming subatomic particles together, they aim to re-create the conditions that existed in the first moments after the Big Bang, the theoretical beginning of the universe. At that time, the infant universe was so hot that it consisted only of a hot soup of quarks and another breed of particles called gluons. Unlike quarks, gluons have no mass and aren’t constituents of matter, but they carry the force that holds quarks together. After a few seconds, the primeval quark-gluon soup, or plasma, cooled enough to allow quarks and gluons to form protons and neutrons, which eventually combined with electrons to make atoms, molecules, stars, chairs and people.

Q: A:

Will the LHC help explain how quarks combined to create matter? That’s one of the major goals of the project. Scientists hope they will find in the debris of the collisions evidence of an as yet undiscovered subatomic particle called the “Higgs boson,” named after a Scottish physicist who predicted such a particle in 1964. Like the gluon, bosons are particles that have no mass but carry a force. Scientists think the Higgs boson, if it exists, is the particle that allows energy to turn into mass. The theory is that Higgs bosons are spread throughout the universe, like flowers in a field. Particles acquire mass — in other words become matter — by interacting with the Higgs field. That’s why physicist Leon Lederman called the Higgs the “God Particle” in a 1993 book of that name.

What about those theoretical extra dimensions?

Many physicists suspect that space contains more dimensions than the familiar updown, left-right, forward-back trio. These extra dimensions, if they exist, are said to be rolled up so tightly that they’re invisible to human eyes, like a garden hose seen from a space satellite. It’s possible that the LHC might detect evidence of one or more such dimensions.

Is it possible that the LHC might blow up the world? No, scientists say. The proton collisions produce tiny “fireballs” thousands of times hotter than the sun, but they last only microseconds, and scientists say they aren’t dangerous. According to CERN, the fireballs’ energy is much weaker than the cosmic rays from outer space that have bombarded Earth harmlessly for billions of years. The LCH played a fictional role in Dan Brown’s best-selling novel “Angels & Demons.” Brown wrote that the LCH created enough anti-matter to blow up the Vatican. CERN commissioned two studies that declared this impossible. The American Physical Society, an association of U.S. physicists, agreed.

Could the LHC solve the puzzles of “dark matter” and “dark energy” that make up most of the contents of the universe? The collider’s detectors might find evidence of other undiscovered particles that are believed to form dark matter, an invisible substance that accounts for 23 percent of the universe, and whose gravity holds galaxies together. Dark energy is an even more mysterious force that’s driving the galaxies apart at an accelerating pace. It apparently makes up 73 percent of the universe, leaving only 4 percent for ordinary matter, the stuff we can see and feel. It’s unlikely, however, that the LHC will find a satisfactory explanation for dark energy.

How about anti-matter, the so-called “evil twin” of ordinary matter?

HORSE R ACING Derby favorite out with swollen leg LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Todd Pletcher sank into the chair and wearily turned toward the cameras. The Eclipse Award-winning trainer has grown accustomed to disappointment at the Kentucky Derby — where he’s winless in 24 starts — but never quite like this. Pletcher pulled likely favorite Eskendereya out of the Derby on Sunday due to swelling in the 3-year-old chestnut colt’s left front leg. Pletcher noticed the inflammation after Eskendereya’s gallop over a sloppy track on Saturday. The swelling grew worse overnight, and Pletcher sent owner Ahmed Zayat a text at 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning expressing his concerns. Two hours later, the horse Pletcher called the best he ever brought to the Derby was out of the Run for the Roses. Pletcher said Zayat “took it better than I would have.” “He says the horse comes first,” Pletcher said. “He loves Eskendereya. He’s not going to do anything to take any chances. ... It’s not a phone call I wanted to make.” Eskendereya had been so dominant in winning the Wood Memorial and Fountain of Youth Stakes by a combined 18¼ lengths he would have easily been the morning line favorite when the expected 20-horse field is set Wednesday afternoon. Oddsmaker Mike Battaglia said he could have put the odds on Eskendereya as low as 9-5, an eye-poppingly low number in a race as wideopen as the Derby. — The Associated Press

Just one good leg? Ultrarunner beats pain, other runners By George Vecsey New York Times News Service

HICKSVILLE, N.Y. — my Palmiero-Winters has an arsenal of left legs — one for getting around, one for flip-flops, one for cycling, one very attractive leg with a four-inch high heel for going out and three for running prodigious distances. She runs so far, so long, that she is excelling in world endurance races, earning her the Sullivan Award on April 14 as the outstanding amateur athlete in the United States. (Wilma Rudolph, Greg Louganis, Bill Bradley and Michelle Kwan are a few previous winners of this big-deal award.) All of that is amazing for a woman who was wiped out on her motorcycle by an automobile driver blasting out of a stop sign. But there’s another amazing thing about Palmiero-Winters: she ran a marathon as a farewell tribute to her original left leg, while it was still attached to her. This is true. Palmiero-Winters was 22 years old in 1994, a welder by trade and a superior hurdler and marathon runner, but nothing close to world class, in Meadville, Pa., between Pittsburgh and Buffalo. After the accident, doctors operated 25 times to save the leg. Her left foot had been crushed so badly that it was down to a size 4, compared with her right foot, which is size 7 1⁄2; her left calf had atrophied badly. So she ran the marathon in Columbus, Ohio, in slightly over four hours, high for her, and later submitted to the amputation, and her life changed drastically. See Runner / D5

By Bob Baum The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Maybe it was all the emotion pumped into the Portland Trail Blazers by the surprise return of Brandon Roy. Perhaps it was the inexplicable failure of the Suns to stick with their highly successful aggressive style. Regardless, the Suns face a pressure-packed Game 5 at home tonight with their best-of-seven, first-round playoff series knotted at two games apiece after the Blazers’ 96-87 victory in Portland on Saturday. Phoenix had taken a 2-1 lead with a pair of blowout, high-scoring victories. But Roy came back a week after

arthroscopic knee surgery and Portland played at its preferred pace, just as it had in winning Game 1 in Phoenix. Roy wants his team to realize that the next game is just as important, perhaps even more, as the last one. “I didn’t come back to have one good game,” Roy said. “I came back to try to help this team win the series. It’s important we get over the emotional high of last game and get ready to play a tough basketball game at Phoenix.” See Blazers / D5

Baseball • M’s Lee dominates in rehab start: Seattle Mariners left-hander Cliff Lee tossed six shutout innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma (Wash.) on Sunday. Lee, working his way back after straining his abdomen during spring training, allowed three hits, struck out four and walked none against Salt Lake. He threw 68 pitches, 46 for strikes. Lee said he hasn’t felt any discomfort in his abdomen in over a month. He is scheduled to make his Mariners debut when Seattle hosts the Texas Rangers on Friday.

Tennis • Federer feels less pressure for clay season: Having finally won the French Open last year, Roger Federer is feeling far less pressure entering the clay-court season. The top-ranked player is preparing to play both singles and doubles at the Rome Masters this week. “Questions are already very different. It doesn’t start off with, ‘Oh, are you going to win the French Open this year?’ So it’s just a bit more relaxing,” Federer said at the Foro Italico Sunday. “I also got a lot of confidence from winning the French Open last year. You feel like if you can do it once you can do it twice.” Still, Federer rated rival Rafael Nadal as the top player on clay after the Spaniard’s dominant performance at last week’s Monte Carlo Masters, which Federer skipped. • Clijsters out with foot injury: Kim Clijsters is out for up to six weeks after tearing a muscle in her left foot during a Fed Cup singles match Saturday. The injury forced her to pull out of Sunday’s reverse singles in the best-of-five series against Estonia, and casts doubt on whether the U.S. Open champion will be able to play in next month’s French Open. “When the doctor tells you six weeks, then you start panicking. You think of your season’s planning,” she told VRT network. The year’s second Grand Slam tournament starts in four weeks, on May 23, but Clijsters is hoping that intensive treatment will shorten the estimated six-week rehabilitation.

Cycling • Vinokourov wins Belgian race: Kazakhstan’s Alexander Vinokourov broke clear of Alexandr Kolobnev in a long sprint to the finish line to win the Liege-BastogneLiege classic on Sunday. It was Vinokourov’s biggest victory since returning from a two-year suspension for blood doping. There were plenty of whistles when Vinokourov, who won the race in 2005, crossed the line. It was another second place in a major race for Russia’s Kolobnev, who was a world championship runner-up twice over the past three years. — From wire reports

IN THE BLEACHERS

Canucks’ victory sends Kings packing The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Of all the breaks that went the Vancouver Canucks’ way in the final three games of their playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings, none was bigger than a fortuitous crack in Mikael Samuelsson’s stick. When Samuelsson’s lumber snapped on a shot that sent the puck trickling meekly toward the net, Daniel Sedin was in perfect position to pounce. His late goal sent the Canucks into the second round on a wave of confidence in their talented twins’ top line, which is making its own good luck. Sedin scored the tiebreaker with 2:03 to play, and the Canucks rallied from another third-period defi-

cit to finish off Los Angeles with a 4-2 victory in Game 6 Sunday night. Roberto Luongo made 30 saves while carrying third-seeded Vancouver through the Sedin twins’ shotless first two periods, and Kevin Bieksa tied it early in the third. Yet the series seemed headed for its third overtime game until Sedin snapped a shot past Jonathan Quick and one-upped his brother, NHL scoring champion Henrik, who scored the go-ahead goal with 2:52 left in Game 4. “The (puck) came to me, and it wasn’t a very hard shot, but it found a way to go in,” Daniel Sedin said. “It’s one of those things.” Those things are happening

more frequently to the Sedins, who haven’t reached a Western Conference final during a decade in the NHL. Judging by the confident smiles on the Swedish brothers’ red-bearded faces in the Staples Center locker room after combining for 18 points against the Kings, they believe Vancouver is ready to take another step. “They were our best players tonight, especially late in the third,” Vancouver center Ryan Kesler said. “They found a way to get it done, and we needed that from them.” Vancouver headed to the second round for the third time in four seasons — possibly to meet Chicago for the second straight year — after three straight wins closed out the

Kings. Samuelsson failed to score a goal in Game 6 for the first time in his remarkable series, but still earned two assists — including that accidental helper on Sedin’s decisive goal — to finish with 11 points.

NBA NOTEBOOK

By Jeff Latzke The Associated Press

Eric Gay / The Associated Press

San Antonio Spurs’ Manu Ginobili is grabbed from behind by Dallas Mavericks’ Eduardo Najera during the fourth quarter of Game 4 of a first-round NBA playoff series Sunday in San Antonio. Najera was called for a flagrant foul and ejected from the game.

Spurs knock off Mavs again, push their series lead to 3-1 On an off night for San Antonio’s big three, George Hill scores 29 points The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — George Hill sank yet another big shot from the corner, this time right in front of the Dallas Mavericks bench, and ran back upcourt flashing three fingers. He probably meant threepointer. Or maybe it was three down, one to go. While Tim Duncan had a miserable 34th birthday and Manu Ginobili looked as rough at times as his bandaged-up broken nose, Hill scored 29 points to help the Spurs push the second-seeded Mavericks to the brink of elimination with a 92-89 victory on Sunday night. “From the day they drafted me, I knew I belonged,” said Hill, found by the Spurs late in the first round two years ago. Hill’s playoff performance was, in the Duncan era of the Spurs, virtually unprecedented. The 23-year-old guard became the first player other than Duncan, Ginobili or Tony Parker to lead the Spurs in scoring in a playoff game since the first round in 2007. That’s a span of 41 playoff games. Put in even more remarkable context, one of the Big Three has been the top scorer for San Antonio in all but two postseason games since the Spurs won their second championship in 2003. Michael Finley was the first in 2007. Hill became the other af-

ter Duncan, Parker and Ginobili combined for just 31 points in a physical Game 4 that left tempers flaring. “If you tell me before the game we hold the Big Three to those numbers, we figure we win the game,” Mavs forward Dirk Nowitzki said. Heading home to Game 5 on Sunday night, the Mavs have other numbers to worry about. One is being on the verge of their third first-round playoff exit in four years. Considered one of the deepest teams in the West while claiming the No. 2 seed, Dallas is now tasked with trying to become just the ninth team in NBA history to rally from a 3-1 deficit in a best-of-seven playoff series. After the game, Nowitzki climbed up a dais in the media room, took the microphone off the stand and slouched back in his chair with a heavy sigh. He scanned a copy of the box score: Duncan getting four points on one-of-nine shooting. Ginobili getting a modest 17. Parker scoring just 10. “It’s tough. I’m not going to sit here and lie,” said Nowitzki, who was held to 17 points, his worst outing in the series. “In Game 2 we should have had it at home and we feel we should have had one here. We didn’t and it’s frustrating, but we have to keep fighting until it’s over.”

Game 5 is Tuesday night in Dallas. If Game 4 was any indication, it could be a rough-and-tumble elimination game. Officials rang up three flagrant fouls, pouring more fuel on an already intense Texas rivalry. Tempers flared as the Mavs threw away a 14-point lead in the third quarter, none more so than when Eduardo Najera was ejected after hooking a hand around Ginobili’s head and sending him belly flopping to the floor. Caron Butler and Shawn Marion seemed to get the message after getting benched in the second half of Game 3. Butler had 17 points and Marion added 14 points and helped push Dallas to a 51-37 lead early in the third quarter. It was reminiscent of Game 3, when Dallas went on a 17-0 run to get back in the game. But then the Mavs’ meltdown began. Dallas missed its last 11 shots of the third and did not hit a field goal over the final 7:47 of the quarter. The Mavs turned the ball over eight times, struggling so much that even a simple inbound play was difficult. Still, the Mavs weren’t done. They pulled off a 13-2 run in the final five minutes to get within 86-84 with 2:13 left. But Ginobili came back down and connected on his first three-pointer in seven tries, and the Mavs watched their chances disappear on backto-back misses by Nowitzki and Jason Kidd in the final 28.9 seconds.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kobe Bryant and the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers find themselves at a crossroads. After suffering their second straight loss, this time in blowout fashion, their series against the upstart Oklahoma City Thunder shifts back to Los Angeles tied at two games. But Bryant and his veteran teammates see no reason to panic after a surprising surge by the youngest team in the NBA, with most of Oklahoma City’s players making their first postseason appearance. “It’s not rocket science,” said Bryant, limited to 12 points in the 110-89 loss in Game 4. “We had a tough battle, we’ve got adjustments to make and we have a team that’s playing extremely well right now that we have to deal with. “It’s not something where we lose swagger. They defended their home court. Now, it’s our turn. Simple as that.” Game 5 is Tuesday night at the Staples Center in L.A. “We didn’t envision ourselves in this situation but it’s where we are, and that doesn’t change anything about the way that you should approach the next game,” Derek Fisher said. “If we were up 3-1, we would still want to go back and win Tuesday night’s game. “That’s what our focus is right now, is making the necessary adjustments to put ourselves in position to win Tuesday night’s game and kind of get the series back in our favor.” None of the adjustments coach Phil Jackson laid out for his team ended up taking shape in Game 4. The Lakers again failed to make it a half-court game and instead allowed the Thunder to do damage in transition, with a 24-2 edge in fast-break scoring. Oklahoma City also continued its baffling control of the boards despite the presence of 7-footers Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum inside for Los Angeles while shooting 20 more free throws. Any hopes of an early end to the series and extra rest for a team that lists eight players with various injuries are gone now. “We said at the beginning of the series this wasn’t going to be easy,” said Bryant, who’s nursing a sore knee and a broken right index finger. “It was going to be a long series, it was going to be a dogfight. Now more so than before because they have a ton of confidence, they know how to play against us, they know what matchups they like. So, we’ve just got to go forward now.” The Lakers faced a similar dilemma in their second-round series against Houston last year. Despite Yao Ming’s absence due to an injury, the Rockets opened a 29-point lead — the same as the Thunder’s biggest margin on Saturday night — on their way to tying that series 2-2. Los Angeles ended up protecting its home floor and winning Games 5 and 7 to advance. “You can’t get too high and you can’t get too low. You’ve just got to pretty much stay evenkeeled and just move on to the next one,” Bryant said. “We obviously have a lot of experience in doing that but that’s not going to win the next game. “You’ve got to play. You’ve got to play well. You’ve got to play hard.” Foul-plagued Howard, Magic look for series sweep CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dwight Howard was the last player off the practice court Sunday, then went straight to the locker room for a personalized film session. The featured attraction for the Orlando center: A collage of his elbows and shoves that have put

him in permanent foul trouble in the Magic’s first-round playoff series against Charlotte. “Everybody’s trying to tell me what I need to do, what I should do,” Howard said. “I think I just can’t allow myself to get frustrated. That’s the biggest part.” The good news for the fourtime All-Star is the Magic have been able to overcome his long stretches strapped to the bench, and Vince Carter’s shooting slump, to be on the verge of a sweep of the Bobcats ahead of Game 4 tonight. No NBA team has blown a 3-0 series lead, and the Magic are a win away from the second round despite Howard playing just 82 of 144 minutes and Carter going zero of 12 from three-point range. “We have a lot of weapons,” said Carter, shooting 33 percent from the field. “We have a lot of guys who can put the ball in the basket. It’s a blessing.” Raymond Felton and the Bobcats know about that. Orlando point guard Jameer Nelson has taken over the scoring load, dominating Felton in what’s been the series’ biggest mismatch. Nelson is averaging 25.7 points and has just three turnovers in nearly 109 minutes. He had 32 points and no turnovers on Saturday, when Orlando closed on an 11-6 run after Howard fouled out in a 90-86 victory. “I’m not out there trying to shoot every shot,” Nelson said. “It just happens that sometimes you have to, especially if you have it going.” Rookie says Bucks surprised ‘cocky’ Hawks MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee’s Brandon Jennings doesn’t exactly lack self-confidence, so he knows cockiness when he sees it. And the rookie guard thinks the Atlanta Hawks came into Game 3 in Milwaukee expecting to blow out the Bucks. Instead, Milwaukee gave its heavily favored first-round playoff rivals something to think about: a 107-89 drubbing Saturday that cut Atlanta’s series lead to 2-1. The Bucks now have a chance to even the series at home in today’s Game 4 before heading back to Atlanta. “I felt like they were a little bit cocky,” Jennings said Sunday. “They came in like, ‘OK, it’s Milwaukee, we’re up 2-0.’ I mean, that’s just how I felt. I felt like they thought they were just going to come in and just blow us out. I think with the crowd, and the way we came out, it just changed everything.” Fueled by a raucous home crowd, the Bucks used hot shooting and good defense to take a commanding 36-19 lead in the first quarter. The Hawks never really recovered. Hawks players expected the Bucks to come out with extra energy at home, but only to a point. “Yeah — not THAT hot,” Jamal Crawford said. “That’s tough to prepare for. You know they’re going to come out and play their best game. Their backs were against the wall. They lose that game, they’re down 3-0.” Serving Central Oregon Since 1946

Mets 1, Braves 0 (5 innings) NEW YORK — Mike Pelfrey pitched out of constant trouble to extend his scoreless streak to 24 innings and New York finished a three-game sweep of slumping Atlanta with a victory in a game cut short by rain. A throwing error by third baseman Chipper Jones allowed Jose Reyes to score in the first inning. Play was stopped after one pitch in the sixth when rain intensified, and the game was called following a 98-minute delay.

TENNIS ROUNDUP

GOLF ROUNDUP

U.S. advances to Fed Cup final

Bohn secures second career PGA Tour title

The Associated Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Liezel Huber put the United States into the Fed Cup final with a 6-3, 6-1 doubles victory over Russia’s Elena Dementieva and Alla Kudryavtseva on Sunday. The Americans will meet defending champion Italy for the second straight year in the final Nov. 6-7 at an undetermined site in the United States. The U.S. has won a record 17 times, the last coming in 2000. Mattek-Sands beat Ekaterina Makarova 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 in the second match Sunday to keep the U.S. title hopes alive in the best-of-five contest. Sixth-ranked Dementieva’s 7-6 (7-4), 06, 6-3 win over Melanie Oudin had put the Russians up 2-1. “It’s an amazing effort,” U.S. captain Mary Joe Fernandez said. “It’s always tough to have to play back-to-back, but the good news is Bethanie is used to it. On a weekly basis, she plays singles and doubles. The tough part is her singles match was a very physical match.” Italy advanced to its fourth Fed Cup final in five years with a 5-0 victory over the Czech Republic. Mattek-Sands became the first American to win consecutive live matches — fourth singles and then doubles — to close out a Fed Cup tie since the best-of-five format was adopted in 1995. “I was really pumped,” Mattek-Sands said. “I always want to win, whether it’s playing singles, doubles or charades. I was ready to go.” Also on Sunday: Verdasco beats Soderling for title BARCELONA, Spain — Spain’s Fernando Verdasco beat Robin Soderling of Sweden 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 to win the Barcelona Open final for his second title this season. Verdasco ensured an eighth straight Spanish winner after topping the second-seeded Soderling in a matchup of baseline groundstrokes.

Shootout Continued from D1 The tournament’s ladies flight saw a repeat champion. Annette Van Daam, of Vancouver, Wash., combined with Karen Davis, of Ridgefield, Wash., to fire a threeday 194.5. It is Van Daam’s second consecutive ladies flight championship.

Runner Continued from D1 She has moved from northwest Pennsylvania to suburban Long Island. Her marriage over, she retains her hyphenated name to provide continuity for her children, Carson, 6, and Madilynn, 4. She works at A Step Ahead, a leading maker of prosthetics. And now she is a world-class athlete. Running on customized left legs, she is able to beat endurance runners with her lower limbs in races that last 24 hours, go more than 100 miles, up hills, through deserts. She says running endurance races does not compare to the 100-, 200- and 400-meter races of Oscar Pistorius, the admirable South African runner who has artificial lower legs and has been ruled ineligible for Olympic competition. “There is no comparison,” Palmiero-Winters said, detailing some of the discomforts from running long distances with a prosthetic leg. A random pebble

Blazers Continued from D1 Roy said Sunday he felt no swelling or pain in the knee, but probably would come off the bench again today, with Jerryd Bayless getting the start. “I think I’ll be in a little better shape, just because of the game I played,” Roy said. “My thinking right now is to get my legs back. They play a little bit uptempo game, and I think it’s a little bit easier for coach to control my minutes coming off the bench.” A solemn Amare Stoudemire said after practice in Phoenix he’s been in enough playoff games to know how precarious the Suns’ position is. A Phoenix loss would give the Blazers a chance to wrap up the series at home in Game 6. “It’s a big game, maybe the game of the year for us,” he said. Each game has been determined by tempo, aggressiveness and energy. “We know that they’re going

By Mary Foster The Associated Press

AVONDALE, La. — For Jason Bohn, the second time was even better. Bohn won the Zurich Classic on Sunday for his second PGA Tour title, birdieing three of the final four holes at TPC Louisiana for a 5-under 67 and a two-stroke victory over Jeff Overton. “This is life changing,” said the 37-yearold Bohn, who admitted making his putt on 18 with tears in his eyes. Bohn, who completed a third-round 71 in the morning in the weather-plagued tournament, finished at 18-under 270. He also won the 2005 B.C. Open. Sunday’s victory, coming as it did after a variety of injuries and back surgery, was especially sweet, Bohn said. He told his caddie at the start of the final round he was planning on a quiet round. “I just said I probably wouldn’t say much because I’m capturing all of this,” Bohn said. “I want to take this one to the grave. I want to remember every little detail that I missed on my first one.” Bohn led since his 65 in the opening round, but admitted he felt the heat Sunday as several players moved into range. Overton mounted a persistent challenge, twice tying Bohn on his way to a 66. “Jeff was playing beautifully. He played beautiful golf today,” Bohn said. “I would say almost perfect.” Overton birdied the 18th — after missing a long eagle putt, but Bohn, who made birdie putts of 5½ feet on No. 15 and 22 feet on No. 16, had to only tap in on 18 for his fifth birdie of the round. Overton said he played great Sunday, but Bohn was unbelievable. “The final four holes, I maybe got a little quick with putts,” Overton said. “Maybe because I wanted it so much.” Troy Merritt (67) was third at 14 under. He was 7 under during a seven-hole stretch that ended at No. 13, making five birdies and an eagle.

Joe Ebner, of Everett, Wash., and Jeff Eggen, of Mesa, Ariz., led the gross division after all three rounds, winning the event with a three-day 203. Vancouver’s Kurt Snyder and Portland’s Bert Sckerl won the first net division at 189. Eugene’s Gary Wright and Bill Cox came back from second place to win the second net division with a three-day 186.5. And

Jason Bohn celebrates on the 18th green after winning the Zurich Classic in Avondale, La., Sunday. Lee Janzen (69) was another stroke back, and Greg Chalmers (69) was 12 under. Also on Sunday: O’Meara, Price take team event SAVANNAH, Ga. — Mark O’Meara got the help he needed to win for the first time on the Champions Tour, teaming with Nick Price to beat Joey Sindelar and John Cook on the second hole of a playoff in the betterball Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Ken Green, making his first Champions Tour start since having his lower right leg amputated after an auto accident in June that killed his brother and girlfriend, teamed with Mike Reid and tied for 26th at 12 under. They had a 71. Australian wins in South Korea JEJU, South Korea — Australia’s Marcus Fraser broke a seven-year title drought, shooting a 3-under 69 to complete a wire-towire victory in the weather-shortened Ballantine’s Championship.

Rod Bird and Bob O’Neil, both of Portland, held on to their second-round lead to win the fourth net division at 186.75. The Central Oregon Shootout featured three days of team golf. The format for the first round was two-person scramble, which was followed with a round of best ball Saturday. The tournament concluded with a Chapman event on Sunday, and each flight played a different course each day.

can send her sprawling. Her controlled gait is nothing like the remembered freedom of running with two original legs. “It looks cool, but it’s definitely not as good as the real thing,” she said, slightly nostalgic for a moment. She has to stop every few miles to take off the leg and pour out the accumulated sweat. Also, the device cuts into her. “Look,” she said, taking off the device and the wrapping, displaying a leg that ends below the thigh. “All bone,” she said, meaning not much flesh for a cushion. Yet she has a long-distance runner’s physique — 5 feet 8 inches and 117 pounds — that she insists is a bit too high at the moment. Her eyes indicate she is not getting enough sleep. She trains while her children sleep, in the care of their beloved caretaker, Stephanie. Palmiero-Winters runs the suburban streets, sometimes all night long; the other night, something scared her, so she popped into a 24-hour gym to run on a treadmill. Her base is A Step Ahead, a spiffy Santa’s workshop. A map

on the wall shows that people come from all over the world, stay a week and go home with hands and feet, ears and legs, their size, their color, their contour. Phil Kreuter, a staff member, said Jessica Long, the 2006 Sullivan winner, a Paralympics swimmer, checked in for upgrades every so often. The other day, the artists at A Step Ahead were putting together a prosthetic hip for a war veteran; his prosthetic leg will come later. There are two fitting rooms for children — one outfitted like a firehouse, the other like a playground. Palmiero-Winters takes the young ones out running or rock climbing and, if they rebel, she says if she can run 130 miles, they can run a mile. In between, she competes. According to Jill Geer of USA Track and Field, Palmiero-Winters ran in 10 ultradistance races last year, winning the women’s race at the Heartland 100-Mile in October, becoming the first amputee to qualify for the Western States 100-mile race. She became the first amputee named to a nation-

al track team, and on Dec. 31, she ran 130.04 miles in 24 hours in the Race to the Future. Her next race will be at the Ultrarunners’ 24-hour World Championship on May 13-14 in Brive, France. Oh, and in between PalmieroWinters pushes wheelchairs for participants in marathons, as many as six a year. She never runs alone. She made that clear on April 14, graciously introducing her entourage as she accepted the Sullivan Award from Sarah Hughes, a former winner. En route to a run in Oklahoma City this weekend, Palmiero-Winters took the time to send an e-mail message detailing her support system — including her boss, Erik Schaffer; Dr. Robert Otto of the Adelphi University Human Performance Laboratory; and Pam Nisevich, a sports nutritionist at Swim, Bike, Run, Eat! And then there are the specialists at work who provide her with all those left legs. “I would not change a thing,” Palmiero-Winters said the other day. She thought about it for a second, and said: “Not a thing.”

to come out aggressive,” Portland coach Nate McMillan said. “We got that play last night, that sense of urgency and that scrappy play. That has been the team that has won the game (in the series) — the team that has come out with that kind of energy and effort.” With due respect to Roy, who did make a huge three-pointer late in the game, the Suns were pointing elsewhere for reasons they lost Game 4: a slow pace, missed open shots, and Portland’s offensive rebounds. The Suns’ failure to push the tempo left coach Alvin Gentry shaking his head. “I don’t understand it. I really don’t,” hey said. “That’s the one thing we have to get away from. I keep telling everyone and I’ll say it again: If you walk it up and they get in a half-court situation I think their defense is as good as anybody’s in the NBA.” The coach wouldn’t single out point guard Steve Nash to blame for the tempo breakdown. “It’s everybody’s fault,” Gentry said. “I think our wings have

to run, I think Steve has to push it and I think our bigs have to get down so we can run drags and step-ups and things like that. It’s not one person, it’s the way we’re approaching it from a team standpoint. That’s something that we’ve got to get rid of right away.” Nash wasn’t taking the blame, either. “I’ll do my best, but I can’t just be completely reckless out there,” he said. “Having said that, when we watched the tape I was really in some ways alarmed, pleased and shocked at how many open shots we had that we didn’t knock down.” Nash said he would like to have “a few more opportunities.” “Second and third quarters they were trapping me and we weren’t making shots. So then looking back you’re like ‘Aw, I wish I could have gotten a few more of those looks myself,’ ” he said. “But the game before they were trapping me and we make all those shots and we’re a special team.” The Suns shot 42 percent and

were just six of 23 from threepoint range on Saturday. “We just looked at the tape for the fourth time and we’ll take all of those shots,” Gentry said. “If they want to give us those shots, we’ll take those shots tomorrow night. Those shots we’d made over the last two games. We just couldn’t get them in the basket, and we’ve got to do a better job on the offensive rebounds. Their 17 second-chance points are too many.” Then there was LaMarcus Aldridge’s 31 points. “You’ve got to give him credit. I mean, he’s shooting fallaway jump shots from 15 feet,” Gentry said. “That’s kind of the shot we’d like to have them shooting. He made them last night. We’ll still play him the same way and if he starts making them again we’ll make an adjustment.” Nash also had some not-sothinly veiled criticism of the way Game 4 was called. “Obviously I’m not going to say anything about the officiating,” he said, “but there were obstacles to overcome.”

Continued from D1 “Ever since high school, my biggest dream has been to put on an NFL helmet,” says Leunen, who at 6 feet 7 inches has the frame of an NFL lineman. “I’ve been working for it the past 10 years.” A standout tight end at Redmond High — he was a second-team all-state selection his senior year — Leunen moved to tackle following his redshirt freshman season at Portland State. After a year of learning the ins and outs of the offensive line, he took over as the Vikings’ starting right tackle in his junior season and ended up receiving Big Sky Conference honorable mention recognition as a senior last fall. “(PSU offensive coordinator) Mouse Davis and (head coach) Jerry Glanville told me I looked like a mediocre tight end,” Leunen says about the chat he had with his coaches. “But they thought with my footwork, that if I put on a couple pounds I could become a good offensive tackle.” Weighing just 205 pounds coming out of high school, Leunen has put on more than just a couple pounds. By his junior season at Portland State he was listed as 275 pounds, and when he takes the field in Cleveland on Friday he will be just under 300 pounds. “I bought into it,” Leunen says about making the move from tight end to tackle that may earn him a shot at a professional contract. “I’ve gained around a hundred pounds since high school and 60 pounds or so the last three years.” While bulking up improved Leunen’s chances of getting invited to a professional camp, it was his athleticism that opened the door. A three-year high school letterman in basketball as well as football, Leunen has always moved well, says his former offensive coordinator at PSU, Jim

Ski Continued from D1 The combination skiing event kicked off Friday with a nordic skate ski race and ski jumping contest. The ski jump was designed with a short straight drop leading to a large man-made mound. The goal of the jumping contest was to go the furthest distance through the air. The best jumps in the May Day contest measured some 60 feet. On Saturday and Sunday participants raced in either a super-G alpine race or giant slalom race on Cliffhanger run depending on age. Older age groups, 11 through 14, race the super-G, while skiers 10 and younger race on the GS course. After Sunday’s events and four races later, the top 10 finishers in each age group were decided. More than 220 junior ski racers, ages 14 and younger, from throughout the Northwest competed in the 2010 May Day race at Mount Bachelor. “It’s always been a kids race,” said Chuck Kenlan, a race coordinator and executive director of Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation, the host organization. “Back then (in the 1960s) the ski racers did alpine skiing, crosscountry and they also ski jumped in the traditional sense of jumping. … This race rewards the best overall skier.” “This race is fun, but it’s serious,” said Connor Coggin, an MBSEF skier. MBSEF provides what is called a “cross-over program” to allow junior downhill skiers the opportunity to learn how to nordic ski. Several MBSEF alpine skiers joined the program and trained on skate skis for five weeks before the May Day event. “It helps diversify the athletes,” said Evans. “And sometimes we’ll even lose kids from the alpine

“Someone’s going to take a chance on him and be happy they did. He’s turned himself into a guy that certainly can play at that level.” — Former Portland State offensive coordinator Jim Craft, on Matt Leunen’s NFL prospects Craft. “Someone’s going to take a chance on him and be happy they did,” says Craft, who is now offensive coordinator for the newly resurrected football program at Pacific University in Forest Grove. “He’s turned himself into a guy that certainly can play at that level.” According to Craft, Leunen’s hulking frame and quick feet could put him in a position to play tackle or maybe even a blocking tight end at the professional level. “When coaches get an athletic guy like that, they look at him as Jell-O they can mold,” Craft says. “You can shave him down and move him to a short-yardage tight end, or you can bulk him up and make him a more consistent tackle.” If things do not work out with the Browns, Leunen says the New York Giants, who ran him through a private workout before the draft, also showed interest. And while the NFL is his ultimate goal, Leunen says he is open to playing in other leagues as well. “I’m shooting for the NFL,” Leunen says. “But if something doesn’t go through, I’ll start contacting the CFL (Canadian Football League). “I’m fully committed to this.” Beau Eastes can be reached at 541-383-0305 or at beastes@ bendbulletin.com.

HIGH GEAR: NASCAR SPRINT CUP

Harvick nips McMurray at Talladega Driver gets his first win since 2007 with a pass in the race’s final seconds By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press

TALLADEGA, Ala. — Kevin Harvick executed the pass exactly how his team drew it up in the playbook. With a last-second slingshot past Jamie McMurray, Harvick snapped a 115-race winless drought with an overdue victory Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. It was the payoff for perfect strategy devised in conversations over the weekend with crew chief Gil Martin and their Richard Childress Racing team. Harvick lurked behind in traffic, trying to move his way into second place as the race hit the closing laps. His plan was to set himself up for one attempt at the lead, which he made roughly 500 yards from the finish line by sliding inside of McMurray then drag-racing him to the checkered flag. “We made a plan, and I’m telling you, every piece of it played out exactly how we wanted to play it,” Harvick said. “Coming into to the last lap, that’s exactly how we planned it out on paper.” The win gave Harvick his first victory since the 2007 season-opening Daytona 500, and it came in the longest Talladega race in Sprint Cup history. Because NASCAR’s new overtime rule allows for three attempts at its version of overtime, the race went 12 laps past the scheduled distance of 188 trips around the 2.5-mile superspeedway. It covered a record 88 lead changes among a record 29 drivers, and the final pass was the one that had everyone talking. “I hate to show my age, but that

Kevin Harvick edges out Jamie McMurray at the finish line to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Aaron’s 499 auto race at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Ala., Sunday. was a tremendous pass just like the old days, like you would have seen Buddy Baker or Cale Yarborough,” Martin said. “That was a tremendous pass, and it was timed perfectly.” McMurray, this year’s Daytona 500 winner after winning the October race at Talladega, couldn’t hide his disappointment at misplaying the final half-lap. Seeking his third consecutive restrictorplate victory, he stretched his fuel tank to the bitter end while racing wide-open to the finish line. He held the bottom line, one eye on the finish line and the other in his rearview mirror, certain that Harvick’s lone attempt to pass would be on the outside. He was wrong. “I really thought that Kevin was going to go high,” McMurray said after his second-place finish.

“I felt like I was close enough to the yellow line that there was a lot more racetrack to the right. I was really guarding against the outside. It’s hard to explain to you guys that aren’t in cars, but when there’s someone directly behind you and they pull their car out of line really fast, it’s like you pull a parachute in your car. “It literally feels like you lose three or five miles an hour immediately, and when that happens, the car that’s doing the passing just has the momentum.” The margin of victory of 0.011 seconds was the eighth-closest in NASCAR since it began using electronic scoring in 1993. But Felix Sabates, co-owner of McMurray’s Earnhardt Ganassi Racing team, questioned whether Harvick’s pass was even legal. Because McMurray left so little

real estate below him, Sabates believed Harvick dipped below the yellow out-of-bounds line. “He passed Jamie under the yellow line and the rule is very specific,” Sabates argued. Juan Pablo Montoya, teammates with McMurray at EGR, finished third and silently watched a replay of the finish as he waited to start his post-race interviews. “Wow,” he said with a sympathetic shrug for his teammate. The race was fairly clean for the first 465 miles, as drivers simply tried to ensure they’d be around at the end. That’s when the chaos usually breaks out at Talladega, and Sunday was no exception. Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson tangled on the track in the second consecutive race. Gor-

don believes Johnson squeezed him down the track late in the race, triggering a crash that took Gordon out of contention, and Gordon didn’t mask his anger after the race. “The 48 is testing my patience, I can tell you that,” said Gordon, who finished 22nd. “It takes a lot to make me mad. I am (mad) right now. I don’t know what it is with me and him right now.” Johnson was later involved in his own accident, tangling with Greg Biffle on the second attempt at overtime. Biffle had been second on that restart, but struggled taking off and dropped back through the field. Johnson had thought he cleared him, but then drifted into his lane to trigger a crash that sent the defending four-time champion hard into the inside retaining wall. That set up the third and final “green-white-checkered” finish. Before this season, NASCAR made one attempt at a two-lap sprint to the finish. The week of this year’s season-opener, though, NASCAR decided it would allow up to three attempts to finish a race under green. That tweak to the rules cost Harvick the Daytona 500 — he would have won the opener if the rules had not been changed — but benefited him Sunday. The three restarts gave him opportunity to slice his way through traffic; he was in seventh on the first attempt, fifth on the second and third on the final restart. He immediately hooked on with McMurray, while Denny Hamlin lined up with Montoya. “I had a really good restart, and I’m like, ‘We got him. I’m with (Hamlin), I’m going to win this,’ ” Montoya said. “All of a sudden, the inside just took off.” Hamlin finished fourth and was followed by Mark Martin, David Ragan and Clint Bowyer. Kurt Busch was eighth, while Kyle Busch and Mike Bliss rounded out the top 10.

Keselowski survives a wild finish By Dan Gelston The Associated Press

TALLADEGA, Ala. — Brad Keselowski won the Nationwide Series race at Talladega Superspeedway in a wild end to a NASCAR doubleheader Sunday. It was nearly a replay of the Sprint Cup finish that saw Kevin Harvick nip Jamie McMurray at the finish line. McMurray got loose on the green-white checkered laps, triggering a wreck that nearly sent Dennis Setzer over the fence. Setzer went airborne, crashed into the safety fence and his car was on fire as it skidded down the track. It was similar to last year’s Cup race at Talladega when Carl Edwards sailed into the fence, allowing Keselowski to pull off the surprise win. McMurray triggered the scary crash when he tried to squeeze in behind Harvick in a pack of traffic. “I tried to get back to the bottom and I saw a little gap between Harvick and (Clint) Bowyer, and when you are looking at it out of the side mirrors, it’s not as clear an angle as what it needs to be,” McMurray said. “As soon as I saw (Bowyer), I tried to get back up the race track to not wreck everybody, but unfortunately I couldn’t save it and ended up spinning out there.” Keselowski won for the first time with Penske Racing. It’s only the second year team owner Roger Penske is running a full-time Nationwide program.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

Oregon State snaps losing streak From wire reports PULLMAN, Wash. — Sam Gaviglio allowed one run over 6 2 ⁄3 innings and the Oregon State baseball team snapped a sevengame losing streak with a 3-2 victory over Washington State Sunday in the three-game series finale at Bailey-Brayton Field. “This is obviously a big win for us,” Oregon State head coach Pat Casey said. “It was very important to snap the losing streak and come away from this series on a

high note.” The 6 2⁄3 innings marked a season-long for Gaviglio, who made his fourth start of the season and his ninth appearance. He worked the final 5 2⁄3 innings without allowing a run, and limited Washington State to just five hits and a walk. He struck out three. Gaviglio threw 101 pitches, 64 of which were strikes. He forced Washington State to strand eight runners, including a bases loaded situation in the fourth. He was

relieved by Kraig Sitton in the seventh and the lefty got the final out of the seventh on one pitch. Gaviglio picked up the win to improve to 2-1 this season and 12-2 in two seasons at Oregon State. Sitton worked an inning before being replaced by Kevin Rhoderick in the eighth. Rhoderick came on with a runner at first after an error, and allowed a hit before striking out Jay Ponciano to end the inning.

Grand slam lifts Ducks over Trojans From wire reports EUGENE — Freshman J.J. Altobelli hadn’t hit a home run in his first 36 collegiate games, but that changed for the Ducks’ starting third baseman on Sunday in front of 2,868 at PK Park. With the Ducks trailing by two runs in the bottom of the third, Altobelli went down in the record books with the first Oregon grand slam since reinstatement — hammering a first-pitch, round-tripper over the right field

wall to push Oregon to an eventual 8-4 victory. The Ducks are now 27-13 on the season and 8-7 in the Pac-10, finishing the week with a 4-1 record. With the series win over the Trojans, Oregon has now won three consecutive Pac-10 series. USC drops to 17-22 overall and 3-12 in league play. In addition to Altobelli’s grand slam, right-hander Zack Thornton improved to 6-0 on the season, pitching seven innings of

scoreless relief. The senior held the Trojans scoreless, scattering five hits and striking out seven while never issuing a walk. The Ducks tallied 15 hits in the game — the most the team has pieced together against a Pac-10 team since reinstatement. UO was led once again by senior Eddie Rodriguez, who was three-for-four on the day with two RBIs, including a solo home run — his third of the season — in the sixth.

A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 8/12/2010. Unless the lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU A NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or oneÂ year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out.

To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENACY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE.

The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE". You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 7/13/2010 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent paid. ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENACY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT OR RENT YOU PREPAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer or are otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance for free.
