OLCC may suspend home brew restriction

Redmond pursuing porn-free zoning By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

By Lillian Mongeau

REDMOND — A business person recently sought to open an adult entertainment store in downtown Redmond, near the city’s new centerpiece — Centennial Park. Members of Redmond’s city staff learned of the plan while reviewing business applications. The business person wanted to open the store, Naughty ’n’ Nice, on Deschutes Avenue, just off Sixth Street. The possibility of such a store opening near the city’s core inspired the city staff to investigate whether Redmond could find a way to restrict such businesses in certain parts of town. The city last addressed the issue in 2003. At that time, Redmond tried to block an adult bookstore from opening. The city eventually backed off as it faced possible legal challenges, and the store, which has since shuttered, opened near where the Redmond reroute runs. The city is preparing to face the issue again in the coming months.

Home brewers might be allowed to share their creations at competitions and summer barbecues if state legislators are able to “fix” a law that currently bans the popular practice, according to state Rep. Judy Steigler, D-Bend. “We’re working through the speaker’s office to get the (Oregon Liquor Control Commission) to come up with a temporary fix,” Steigler, who is up for re-election this fall, said. “My understanding is they are reviewing some of the suggestions with (Oregon Department of Justice).” Photo courtesy Eloisa Chavez

State laws can only be changed by the Legislature. But Stiegler said the OLCC may be able to make an administrative change that will allow this summer’s fairs and competitions to continue. The law against bringing home brews outside of the home has been on the books for years. It states, in part, that home brews are meant “for home consumption and not for sale.” Until recently however, the “home consumption” part of the law was rarely enforced. See Home brew / A4

Egyptian group seeks to tone down raciness in ‘Arabian Nights’ By Amro Hassan and Jeffrey Fleishman Los Angeles Times

CAIRO — Let the ancient temptress beware, censors with sharp pens beckon. Arab writers and poets through the centuries have spiced their tales with explicit language and carnal desire. Even during the height of the Islamic Empire, when Sharia law dictated virtue across the Middle East, storytellers revealed a fondness for the unholy. But nowadays fundamentalist Muslims are campaigning to “purify” one of the great works of Arabic literature, the “One Thousand and One Nights.” “The book contains profanities that cannot be acceptable in Egyptian society,” said lawyer Ayman Abdel-Hakim, venting his disgust at one of the “Nights” poems in which a woman challenges Muslim men to fulfill her insatiable sexual urges. “We understand that this kind of literature is acceptable in the West, but here we have a different culture and different religion.” Hakeem is a member of Lawyers Without Shackles, a group determined to delete salacious passages from contemporary literature and cherished classics. Its campaign against the masterpiece, also known in English as “The Arabian Nights,” is part of a religious conservatism that has been growing in Egypt since the mid-1990s. See Censorship / A5

2 Sometime between 3:30 a.m. and 4 a.m., Burkhart left his apartment in search of food. He told friends he was going to Pita Pit, located at the corner of Brooks Alley and Franklin Avenue, which would have been closed at the time.

As Eloisa Chavez prepares for the closing chapters in her son’s life this week, she’s still not satisfied she has all the answers about what happened when he disappeared nearly a year ago. Now more than a month after police recovered the body of Justin Burkhart from the Deschutes River in Bend, his mother is as determined as ever to learn the full story. But she’s also softened, and backed off on some of her harsher criticisms of police in the weeks immediately following his disappearance. And she’s found new friends and a new cause, all as a result of the most traumatic experience in her life. Burkhart will be remembered at two events in the coming days. Friday night, a wine tasting in Burkhart’s honor has been scheduled at Allyson’s Kitchen, where he worked as a wine steward before his disappearance. There is a celebration of life ceremony for Burkhart in the Old Mill District Saturday afternoon. The anxiety of both organizing and mentally preparing herself for both events is wearing on Chavez, even after a year that’s featured almost nothing but stress. “It’s starting to hit pretty hard right now,” said Chavez, 55, of Bend. “The whole family thing, coming in from out of state — that’s always stressful, but it seems even more stressful this time around.” See Burkhart / A4

After finding out about the proposed store, staff members met with the business owner to discuss the plans, according to Community Development Director Heather Richards. Staff asked the business owner if that location, across from a city park, “in the heart of the community,” was the best spot for an adult business, Richards said. “That’s not a winning situation for the business, either,” Richards said. That informal effort worked, and the store didn’t open, according to Richards, who declined to name the business or owner. But the experience highlighted the fact that Redmond has no formal zone for adult businesses. Under current rules, an adult bookstore could open downtown. City staff recently began research the legality of restricting where adult businesses can open in the city. One possibility, according to City Manager David Brandt, is to create a zone that would allow such businesses to operate in certain parts of the city but outside downtown. See Zoning / A5

A chosen few get to ‘Teach for America’ By Michael Winerip New York Times News Service

HOUSTON — Alneada Biggers, Harvard class of 2010, was amazed this past year when she discovered that getting into the nation’s top law schools and grad programs could be easier than being accepted for a starting teaching job with Teach for America. Biggers says that of 15 to 20 Harvard friends who applied to Teach for America, only three or four got in. Will Cullen, Villanova ’10, had a friend who was rejected and instead will be a Fulbright scholar. Julianne Carlson, a new graduate of Yale — where a record 18 percent of seniors applied to Teach for America — says she knows a half dozen “amazing” classmates who were rejected. Carlson, Cullen and Biggers count themselves lucky to be among the 4,500 selected by the nonprofit to work at high-poverty public schools from a record 46,359 applicants (up 32 percent over 2009). This year, on its 20th anniversary, Teach for America hired more seniors than any other employer at numerous colleges, including Yale, Dartmouth, Duke, Georgetown and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In interviews, two dozen soon-to-be-teachers here in Houston, one of eight national Teach for America centers that provide a five-week crash summer course in classroom practices, mentioned the chance to help poor children and close the achievement gap as major reasons for applying.

Program is an elite brand But there are other more material attractions. Teach for America has become an elite brand that will help build a résumé, whether or not the person stays in teaching. And in a bad economy, it’s a two-year job guarantee with a good paycheck; members earn a beginning teacher’s salary in the districts where they’re placed. For Cullen, who will teach at a Dallas middle school, that’s $45,000 — the same he’d make if he’d taken a job offer from a financial public relations firm. Carlson, who will also make $45,000 teaching first grade in San Antonio, said, “I feel very fortunate. I knew a lot of people at Yale who didn’t have a job or plan when they graduated.” To be accepted by Teach for America, applicants survived a lengthy application process, with thousands cut at each step. That included an online application; phone interview; presentation of a lesson plan; a personal interview; a written test; and a monitored group discussion with several other applicants. A $185 million operating budget, (two-thirds from private donations; the rest from governmental sources) helps finance recruiters at 350 campuses to enlarge the applicant pool. The 774 new recruits who are training here are housed in Rice University dorms. Many are up past midnight doing lesson plans and by 6:30 a.m. are on a bus to teach summer school to students making up failed classes. It’s a tough lesson for those who’ve come to do battle with the achievement gap.

Children in the Boys & Girls Club summer program eat lunch in the cafeteria at Nichols Elementary, the top-ranked school in Biloxi, Miss. The school district plans to close the school to save about $400,000 a year. Residents of the poor and largely black east side of Biloxi say the neighborhood is losing one of its chief sources of pride and cohesion. The controversy has reopened age-old racial divides.

Shutting down the best Racism seen in decision to close Biloxi’s top-ranked school By Robbie Brown New York Times News Service

BILOXI, Miss. — It still looks like a thriving school: child-size chairs in the cafeteria, yellow buses in the parking lot, a marquee sign that declares “Tomorrow’s Leaders Begin Here.” But unless things change before next month, this city is going to close its top-ranked school, Nichols Elementary, to save about $400,000 a year — less than 1 percent of the school district’s $50 million budget. Worse than that, say residents of the poor and largely black east side of Biloxi, the neighborhood is losing one of its chief sources of pride and cohesion. The question of whether closing the school is an act of fiscal prudence or discrimination has become an explosive topic in Biloxi, reopening age-old racial divides. Nearly 90 percent of Nichols students are black or Asian, while the four school board members who voted for the closing are white. “I simply cannot get my arms around it,” said William Stallworth, the only black member of the City Council, who is lobbying the board to reverse its decision before classes begin Aug. 11. “What kind of city closes its best school?” The answer, says Paul Tisdale, the schools superintendent, is a city that endured a $5.5 million cut in state education financing and a $1.5 million decline in casino revenue. “This is the Great Recession,” he said. “What do you do as a steward of

taxpayer dollars?” Many Nichols supporters say they object to the lack of community input before the decision. They learned that the board was considering closing Nichols at the same April meeting at which the board voted to do so — and at which the board also revealed that it still had $10 million in savings, enough, in theory, to keep the school open for more than 20 years. In response, more than 1,200 Nichols parents and alumni of Nichols High School, an all-black school that used to occupy the site, have signed a petition calling for Tisdale’s firing and raised $1,800 to hire lawyers to consider possible lawsuits.

Underdog story Opened in 2004, the airy, red-brick school has only 248 students, nearly all of them poor enough to qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. When Hurricane Katrina hit, the school was filled with eight feet of water; it was closed for a year. But this fall, when Mississippi ranked schools across the state, Nichols was the only one of Biloxi’s nine public schools to earn the highest possible rating, Star School, based on student achievement. Nichols also won the state’s top teacher award for 2010 and the city’s top parent award. “For years, we’ve been told our schools weren’t good enough, our buildings were too old and our test

scores weren’t high enough,” Stallworth said. “Now we’ve beat them by their own rules, and they’re changing the rules on us.” Underlying much of the debate is what Tisdale, the superintendent, calls “the R-word.” Nichols is in a black neighborhood defined by bungalow houses, away from the city’s casino and beach community. The school board opposes an oftenproposed solution: busing students from wealthier, whiter neighborhoods to fill Nichols’ half-empty classrooms. That is a double standard, say many black residents, who have seen their own children bused miles away. “I won’t bite my tongue — it’s racism,” said the Rev. James Black, a Pentecostal preacher who has organized protests of the decision. He points out that Nichols was built for $9.5 million and was refurbished for millions more after Hurricane Katrina, but that schools built in the 1950s were being left open in white neighborhoods. Since the Hurricane Katrina, enrollment in east Biloxi elementary schools has decreased 45 percent, leaving vacant classrooms and duplicated resources, Tisdale said. In response, the school board also voted in April to close two schools in mostly white neighborhoods, although that decision drew little protest. “I didn’t take this job because I want to close schools,” Tisdale said. “But in my mind, is the door still open? It may be, barely a crack.”

On Facebook, telling teachers how much they meant By Susan Feinstein New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Darci Hemleb Thompson had been on the lookout for Alice D’Addario for many years. From her home in Hampton, Va., Thompson, 49, who is married and has a 12year-old daughter, was determined to find D’Addario on the Internet. She tried every search engine and networking site she could find. About 18 months ago, she hit the jackpot. “Nice to see one of the greatest teachers of all time on Facebook!” Thompson wrote on D’Addario’s wall. “I love to go to your page just to see your smiling face. Even your eyes still smile. You are an amazing person!” D’Addario was Thompson’s Advanced Placement history teacher at Walt Whitman High School in Huntington Station, on Long Island, in 1977. “She had such a huge impact on my life as a young adult,” Thompson said, describing her tumultuous teenage years living with two alcoholic parents and experiencing early symptoms of multiple sclerosis. “I was depressed and so sad and so isolated, and she reached out and saved me,” Thompson added. “Facebook gave me the chance to tell her, ‘You’re the one who pulled me through.’ ” At a time when public school teachers are being blamed for everything from poor test scores to budget crises, Facebook is one place where they are receiving

adulation, albeit delayed. The site has drawn more attention as a platform for adolescent meanness and bullying, and as a vehicle for high school and college students to ruthlessly dissect their teachers. But people who are 20, 30 or 40 years beyond graduation are using Facebook to re-establish relationships with teachers and express gratitude and overdue respect. Brad Scharff, 49, a finance manager at Time Inc. who knew D’Addario through her role as the junior class adviser, also reconnected with her online. “It was like bringing back a lot of the more positive aspects of the high school years when I saw her on Facebook,” Scharff said.

Tribute pages Over the years, teacher tributes have come in broad formats, in movies like “To Sir, With Love” and “Stand and Deliver” and in TV series like “Room 222.” Now, on Facebook, the praise is personalized, more widespread and more democratic. On Facebook walls and dedicated tribute pages, the writings betray emotions that students dared not display in their youth. They include moving messages (“You inspired each of us to learn and go beyond what we thought we could achieve”), lighthearted claims on old debts (“You owe us a pool party — you promised us one if the Dow ever reached 3,000”) and recollections of specific events (“You got me out of

detention one time”). In the weeks before the death last month of Jerry Sheik, a retired band teacher from Intermediate School 70 in Chelsea, N.Y., his wife, Judith Kalina, said he was overwhelmed by the praise written on a Facebook page created in his honor, “Sheik’s Freaks Reunite: A Celebration for Jerry Sheik.” The page has 135 members, mostly students from the 1970s who played in the stage band Sheik conducted. They have posted old band photos and recalled their rendition of “Oye Como Va.” One former student, Melissa Sgroi, wrote, “There are few people that you look back on in your life and know they left an indelible mark. Thank you Jerry Sheik for being one of those people.” Another of Sheik’s students, Ned Otter, said, “Jerry was the first one to put a sax in my hand.” Otter went on to play saxophone professionally, touring with Dizzy Gillespie. He is one of nine overseers of the Sheik’s Freaks page. “He played a critical role in my life,” Otter added. The tributes underscore what researchers have identified as a major force in adolescents’ lives, said Jacqueline Ancess, a researcher at Teachers College at Columbia University. “The most powerful factor in transforming students is a relationship with a caring teacher who a kid feels particularly connected to,” said Ancess, who added that many

students had told her that if not for a particular teacher, they would not have graduated or would not have taken a certain direction.

Reconnecting Some former students have tried to recreate old roles, using Facebook messages to draw a teacher who had nurtured them back into their lives. Lisa Nielsen, 41, a former library media specialist at Public School 175/Intermediate School 275 in Harlem, which she said was for troubled students, logged on to Facebook one day last year and saw this message: “Hey Ms. Nielsen, I had to find you because you made a wonder-

ful impact on my life. If people only knew how great of a teacher you are.” The message continued, “I know it’s been at least 10 years since you took me under your wing,” and added, “Let’s talk, got a lot to say!” The writer, Keryce Davis, who was a sixth-grade student of Nielsen’s, is now 22 and works as an optician in Washington, after receiving an associate’s degree. Nielsen is glad to re-enter Davis’ life, and said they were discussing possibilities for Davis’ future.

Afghanistan to form defense force By Alissa J. Rubin New York Times News Service

KABUL, Afghanistan — After intensive negotiations with NATO military commanders, the Afghan government Wednesday approved a program to establish local defense forces that U.S. military officials hope will help remote areas of the country thwart attacks by Taliban insurgents. Details of the plan are sketchy, but Americans had been promoting the force as a crucial stopgap to combat rising violence here and frustration with

the slow pace of training permanent professional security forces — the bottom-line condition for the U.S. military to begin pulling back from an unpopular war. Many parts of Afghanistan have no soldiers or police officers on the ground. Over 12 days of talks, Gen. David Petraeus, the new NATO commander, overcame the objections of President Hamid Karzai, who had worried that the forces could harden into militias that his weak government could not control. In the end, the two sides agreed that the forces would be

under the supervision of the Afghan Interior Ministry, which will also be their paymaster. “They would not be militias,” said Geoff Morrell, the Pentagon spokesman, at a briefing in Washington on Wednesday. “These would be governmentformed, government-paid, government-uniformed local police units who would keep any eye out for bad guys — in their neighborhoods, in their communities — and who would, in turn, work with the Afghan police forces and the Afghan army, to keep them out of their towns.”

Senate Democrats to pursue a smaller energy package

The Washington Post

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who has long suffered from cardiac problems, underwent surgery last week to have a pump implanted into his heart, he announced Wednesday. “I decided to take advantage of one of the new technologies available and have a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implanted,” Cheney said in a statement. “The LVAD is a small implantable pump that improves heart function and will enable me to resume an active life.” The announcement came just weeks after the 69-year-old politician was admitted to the hospital after experiencing discomfort. He was released after several days of receiving medication to treat a fluid buildup. Cheney has had five heart attacks, the first coming when he was just 37 years old. His statement Wednesday was his most direct comment in years about his health. The left ventricular assist device is a more modest version of the “artificial heart” that physicians have used for more than 25 years, without much success, to save people whose hearts are weakened by disease.

By Peter Baker and David M. Herszenhorn New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats have decided to press ahead in the next two weeks with a scaled-back energy bill that limits carbon pollution by power plants but not by other industries in an effort to salvage the legislation before midterm elections. After months of gridlock, the White House and Democratic leaders have concluded that the sweeping measure they once envisioned cannot pass, so they will try to get what they can rather than pass nothing at all. The developing plan is intended to appeal to enough Republicans to overcome a filibuster but could disappoint liberals who argue that more needs to be done. “If not now, when?” said Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic majority leader, who plans to bring the compromise bill to the Senate floor next week. “We have to move to do something about our dependence on foreign oil. That’s what this legislation is all about.”

Reid also presented it as a way to further stimulate the economy, saying, “This, as I’ve indicated, is a huge jobs bill.” While the House last year passed a measure capping the greenhouse gases blamed for climate change across the economy, the White House and its Senate allies will push only to limit those from electric utilities, which are responsible for about a third of the emissions produced by the United States. Such a measure would allow Obama to make a down payment on his larger goal. “He’s always believed there should be an economywide solution but recognizes that may not be where we are,” Carol Browner, the president’s energy and climate adviser, said in an interview. “Getting started is hugely important, and he’s willing to work with senators in that direction.” Most Republicans remain firm in their opposition to any cap on emissions, and six Democrats recently joined an effort by Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, to pass a resolution criticizing new Environmental Protection Agency rules relating to greenhouse gases.

ferent accounts. Amiri flashed a V-for-victory sign as he stepped into the terminal. Iran has portrayed the return of Amiri as a blow to American intelligence services that were desperate for inside information on Iran’s nuclear program. Iran has sought maximum propaganda value — allowing journalists to cover Amiri’s return and having a top envoy from Iran’s Foreign Ministry on hand to greet him.

SALT LAKE CITY — A list of 1,300 Utah residents described as illegal immigrants has sown fear among some Hispanics here and prompted an investigation into its origins and dissemination. Each page of the list is headed with the words “Illegal Immigrants,” and each entry contains details about the individuals listed — from their address and telephone number to their date of birth and, in the case of pregnant women, their due dates. The letter was received by law enforcement and media outlets Monday and Tuesday. A spokeswoman for Gov. Gary Herbert said Wednesday that an investigation was under way to see if state employees might have been involved in releasing the private information. A spokesman the Department of Workforce Services, Dave Lewis, said a team of information specialists was looking for patterns — whether the computer formatting would provide clues about the document’s origin or creation and whether there had been any unusual activity in people accessing that

information inside the agency. A memorandum accompanying the list said it was from Concerned Citizens of the United States. It urged immediate deportation proceedings against the people listed, as well as publication of their names by the news media. The memo said an earlier version of the list had been sent to federal immigration officials in April. It promised that more names would be forthcoming and promised authorities, “We will be listening and watching.” “We are not violent, nor do we support violence,” the letter said. A spokeswoman for U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement confirmed that the agency had received a letter from the group, dated in early April. The list came at a time of increased tension over illegal immigration, both in Utah and in the country, two weeks before neighboring Arizona enacts a tough new law aimed at fighting illegal immigration. The federal government has sued Arizona over the law. Here in Salt Lake City, a group of state lawmakers is drafting a bill patterned after it.

SOFAS AS LOW AS

The test, which involves closing valves on a new tight-fitting cap to increase pressure in the well, had been delayed after government scientists raised concerns that the pressure buildup could damage the well. Late Wednesday, the flares were still out and live video showed oil still billowed from

the top of the tap. A BP spokesman said it had isolated a leak on the line attached to one of the valves, and was repairing it before moving forward. It was not clear how that would affect the timing. Earlier at the White House, Robert Gibbs, the press secretary, said Energy Secretary Stephen Chu and others had been involved in the review, asking BP about the possible effect of the test on the well’s condition. Gibbs described the review as “a series of steps” that were being taken “in order to ensure that what we’re doing is being done out of an abundance of caution to do no harm.”

ABOARD THE RESOLUTE, 50 miles off Louisiana — BP stopped collecting oil from its runaway well Wednesday afternoon, beginning a critical test that could halt the rush of oil into the Gulf of Mexico for the first time since the disaster began three months ago. Thad Allen, the retired Coast Guard admiral who is leading the federal response, said in a briefing in New Orleans that the test was beginning after a 24-hour delay in which the procedure had been reviewed by a team of scientists from BP, other companies and the government.

Allen said the test results, by providing crucial information about the well’s condition, “would determine our confidence to shut the well in and understand we’re not harming the well bore.”

Mothers Continued from A1 The contingent of seven South Carolina Gold Star Mothers and four others from Utah will be funded in part by donations to Betros’ FUTURE organization, which stands for Families United Toward Universal Respect. The mothers themselves will have to raise airfare, which is about $4,500 per mother for the weeklong trip to Kuwait and Iraq. Columbia restaurateur Bill Dukes, founder of Honor Flight SC, which flies World War II veterans for free to see their memorial in Washington, D.C., is assisting with the fundraising for Johnson. The Blue Marlin owner said he hopes there will be other similar visits between American and Iraqi mothers in the program called Hugs for Healing. “I want to do everything we can to make sure that Ms. Johnson is on that inaugural flight,” Dukes said, “and also to help our other Gold Star Mothers any way we can.” For Johnson, the purpose of the trip is a little deeper than international relations.

Home brew Continued from A1 An interpretation of the law this month by the DOJ instructed the OLCC that home brewers were violating the law by transporting their “home-brewed alcoholic liquor” outside the home. As a result of the strict interpretation, the Deschutes County Fair has already canceled its annual homemade beer and wine competition, according to Dan Despotopulos, director of the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center. For their part, the OLCC has said it is in favor of making any change that will help home brewers get back to the business of sharing their beer and wine. “We’re pursuing all possible ways to fix it,” Katy Boyce, Eastern Oregon’s regional OLCC manager, said. The OLCC was absolutely in favor of changing the law but as long as it is on the books, the OLCC could not override it, she said. A request by Deschutes Brewery to invite home brewers to one of its tasking competitions was the impetus for the OLCC’s question about the law, Boyce said. She said the brewery contacted her office to clarify the law and make sure they were in compliance when hosting such an event. Boyce referred the question to headquarters, she said, and from there the question was put to the DOJ. The answer came back this month that not only would Deschutes be violating the law by hosting the competition, but any homebrewer traveling outside his home with his creation was violating the law as well. Jim Randles, of Deschutes Brewery, wrote in an e-mail that his company has always supported home brewers and was sorry their request had caused this controversy. Randles said the brewery had given away hops to home brewers hoping to copy Deschutes’ Hop Trip Fresh Pale Ale last year and were always ready to cooperate with homebrewers who wanted to clone its recipes.

Darius was killed when insurgents brought down the Chinook helicopter with a shoulderfired rocket. Sixteen U.S. soldiers were killed and another 20 wounded. It was one of the deadliest single strikes of the war. Only about half of Darius’ body was recovered and returned to South Carolina. “I couldn’t even see him,” Johnson said. She wants to make a memorial to him on Iraqi soil. “Part of him will always be there,” she said. “So I want to go there. Maybe I can get some closure.” In Kuwait, the mothers will meet with U.S. troops. In Iraq, they will meet with the Iraqi mothers in the Kurdish city of Sulaimaniyah, and assemble and distribute aid packages for other Iraqi women. The Iraqi mothers visited Greenville in 2006, learning about American institutions including hospitals, chambers of commerce, home-based businesses and social organizations. Betros, the group organizer, said they want to help the Iraqi women work on commercial and social systems in their country. “To build the tapestry,” she said.

summer competitions at local fairs and elsewhere up and running again. “Ultimately, what we want is for these contests and competitions and tastings to be able to go forward,” Stiegler said. In the meantime, home brewers and competition organizers alike are just waiting. If permission is granted at the last minute, Despotopulos said, the county fair would be set to go forward with its tasting contest. “We still have basically the rest of this week,” Despotopulos said. “We’re just kind of sitting and waiting and hopefully Rep. Steigler, or whoever else has the magic potion, can do something about it.” Lillian Mongeau can be reached at 541-617-7818 or at lmongeau@bendbulletin.com.

Burkhart Continued from A1 At the end of a night of drinking and night-clubbing with friends, Burkhart, then 28, left his apartment near downtown Bend between 3:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Aug. 1 to find something to eat. Sometime later, he was spotted near the west end of the footbridge across Mirror Pond, the last confirmed sighting. Friends and family reported him missing when he failed to show up for work on Monday. Over the next nine months, police interviewed approximately 75 people, and Deschutes County Search and Rescue divers conducted multiple searches of Mirror Pond. Chavez hired a private investigator and spearheaded searches of the forests around Bend, and held candlelight vigils at the west end of the footbridge nearly every week. On June 7, Bend Park & Recreation District employees spotted a body beneath the surface of the water near the Newport Avenue Dam. Police confirmed it was Burkhart the following day.

‘Numb for the last 10 months’ Chavez said it’s only in the last few weeks that she’s been able to fully come to grips with the loss of her son. “Early on when Justin went missing, my doctor put me on some medications, so I’ve been walking around numb for the last 10 months,” she said. “I just recently took myself of the medications completely so I can grieve. I’m grieving now, it’s a healthy thing, so I’m going to keep doing that.” Her son’s disappearance put Chavez into contact with a network of people who have experienced the same loss, and has turned her into an activist as a result. Through her “Friends of Justin Burkhart” Facebook page and online forums for families of missing persons, she learned of and joined the campaign to pass “Billy’s Law,” named in honor of Billy Smolinski, a then-31-year-

old Connecticut man who has been missing since 2004. The law would expand online databases to help families of missing persons identify otherwise unidentifiable human remains, and fund training for police officers to better handle adult missing persons cases. The law passed the U.S. House of Representatives in February, but has not made it to a vote in the Senate. Chavez said she’s been amazed to find out how many people have had a loved one go missing, and has made lasting friendships with the people she’s met. She said her son would probably be amused by how his disappearance and death has rejuvenated her social life. “He would always tease me and say, ‘Mom, you really need to make your own friends. Now,’” she said. “I’d say ‘No, I like you, I want to hang out with you.’ His wish finally came true, I now have more friends than he probably ever did because of all of this.”

Autopsy provides some clues Friends who were with Burkhart the night he disappeared said he was intoxicated, but his official autopsy provides only a few clues to what happened to him after he was last seen at the west end of the footbridge in Drake Park. Lt. Ben Gregory, head of the Bend Police Department’s detectives division, said Burkhart’s clothing was not

‘We were hoping to celebrate’ “We were hoping to celebrate with our local Bend area home brewers, not cause harm,” Randles wrote. Tom Gilles, owner of the Brew Shop in Bend, which sells homebrewing equipment, said the new interpretation of the rule has already affected his business. For one thing, he said he was no longer hosting the Central Oregon Homebrewer Organization’s tasting nights because it’s clear he would be breaking the law. Gilles said he worried the stricter interpretation could lead to the end of the nonprofit brewers clubs. The clubs, he said, are “what keeps everybody excited and encouraged to brew and get better. If that goes away it could directly affect my business.” Since a permanent fix to the law must be made by the state Legislature Stiegler said she was preparing legislation that would loosen the restrictions about where homebrews can be consumed for consideration during January’s session. She said she is collaborating with state Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-South Lane and North Douglas counties, and state Rep. Mike Schaufler, DHappy Valley. The immediate concern however, Stiegler said, is getting the

ripped or removed, as might be expected had he been in a physical confrontation prior to ending up in the river. The cold water preserved Burkhart’s organs well, Gregory said, allowing the medical examiner to closely study his brain. Finding no signs of bleeding or bruising on the brain, the medical examiner concluded it was unlikely he had struck his head or been struck in the head before going into the water, Gregory said. The autopsy also found his stomach was empty, Chavez said, indicating he had been unsuccessful in his attempts to find something to eat.

Entertained some ‘conspiracy theories’ Chavez said despite the autopsy results, she still has a difficult time believing her son could have just fallen in the river. She said she’s entertained plenty of what she acknowledges to be “conspiracy theories” — were police less responsive than they might have been because of her son’s past run-ins with the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement team? Would police have covered up an assault on her son to protect Bend’s reputation as a safe town for tourists? Earlier on, Chavez considered having a private autopsy performed, but has instead has decided to turn over the state medical examiner’s report to a former state medical examiner for a second opinion. Gregory said police put considerable resources into investigating Burkhart’s disappearance, and still have a few interviews to do before they’re finished. There’s often tension between police and families during an investigation, he said, particularly one as drawn-out as a missing persons investigation — police must sometimes withhold details to avoid tainting potential witnesses, and weigh the costs of investigating a single case against the department’s total budget. “It’s very hard for me not to tell the mother of a child who’s missing — sure, he’s a grown-

up, but he’s her child — all the information I have, but we just don’t do that,” Gregory said. “That’s one of the things of the job that’s difficult, but we have to stay focused on solving the crime if there’s a crime. Our first duty is to the victim.”

Looking forward to seeing family With Burkhart’s celebration of life coming up in a few days, Chavez said she’s looking forward to having her son’s family, co-workers and friends all in one place. She’s met or reconnected with several of her son’s female friends over the last several months, most of his male friends have steered clear. Chavez said she hasn’t been able to talk to the two young men her son was with on the night of his disappearance, but they’ve both committed to coming to her son’s celebration of life. “I expect the guys who he was with that night expect I don’t think highly of them, but that’s not true, I don’t think they had anything to do with it,” she said. “They were questioned so much by the police, I think they just wanted to be left alone.” Though she’s still disappointed early searches of the river didn’t include the more dangerous waters where her son’s body was eventually found, and wishes police had believed her when she insisted he would not have killed himself or left town unannounced, Chavez is much less critical of investigators than she was months ago. “I think they feel bad about the fumbles, and so does search and rescue, they tell me it’s been a learning experience for them, too. I just wish it wasn’t on my son’s case, if it helps somebody in the future, that’s just the way it goes,” she said. “He had a good heart, he was a good man, people loved him, he was fun to be with. I enjoyed his company more than anyone in the world. Maybe I’m prejudiced, but that’s the truth.” Scott Hammers can be reached at 541-383-0387 or shammers@bendbulletin.com.

Censorship Continued from A1 The lawyers don’t expect to win many cases — Egypt’s government is vigilant against hints of extremism — but say they are duty-bound to use lawsuits to protect society from anti-Islamic tendencies. Mohamed Salmawy, president of the Egyptian Writers Union, counters that it is cultural sacrilege to fiddle with an epic that

Zoning Continued from A1 The city is in the early stages of its research and isn’t sure the potential move is legal, Brandt said. But the staff wants to move quickly. “We were concerned those (stores) would start to pop up,” Brandt said. “We’re trying to upgrade downtown, and that’s not something that would be conducive to that.” The city, though, may be entering difficult territory in trying to regulate adult businesses. Until 2006, for instance, the city of Bend’s development code contained a section restricting where adult businesses could open, according to Community Development Director Mel Oberst. The city removed the item from its code because Bend’s attorneys said the restriction was unconstitutional, Oberst said. “We treat them just like any other commercial activity now,” Oberst said. Such a restriction might be constitutional in other states, but Oregon has particularly broad freedom of speech, according to League of Oregon Cities General Counsel Chad Jacobs. In a 1988 case, City of Portland v. Tidyman, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled that the city could not restrict adult businesses based on the content of speech that is being sold, Jacobs said. A business, however, may be restricted based on the effect it has on the surrounding area, Jacobs said. Any code would likely have to address all business types that had a similar effect. Redmond might have a better chance of success if its code focuses on businesses with similar effects on an area, according to Jacobs.

A ‘tricky area’ “It’s definitely a constitutionally tricky area, especially within the state of Oregon,” Jacobs said. City Councilor Jay Patrick was on the Redmond council when the city’s last effort to restrict such businesses failed, but he remains determined to keep adult entertainment out of downtown. Even though the chances of creating a new zone are unknown, Patrick is happy the city is attempting the move. “I don’t know if it will hold up,” said Patrick, who is the most outspoken of councilors on the issue. “I think Redmond needs to move in that direction to protect our downtown and protect the family atmosphere.” Richards expects to have a report ready for the City Council sometime in August. If the city decides the zone would stand up legally, a months-long process will begin. During that time, Redmond will hold several public hearings, and the planning commission would have to consider the zone. If the commission agreed to the zone, the proposal would move on to the City Council, Richards said. “We’re looking at what is the best opportunity for the city in terms of how to address this industry,” Richards said. If the city does create an adult business zone, or any other kind of restriction, Patrick believes it will end up in a legal fight. “Whatever we do, I’m sure we’ll get challenged,” he said.

Kyrgyz police abusing Uzbeks Beatings are being used in investigation into ethnic violence, government admits By Michael Schwirtz New York Times News Service

MOSCOW — Police in Kyrgyzstan’s volatile southern region have been pursuing their investigation into the recent ethnic clashes that left hundreds of ethnic Uzbeks dead by rounding up more Uzbeks and subjecting them to beatings and other abuses. The abuses raise further questions about the ability of Kyrgyz-

stan’s weak central authorities to control the tumultuous south of the country, where sympathies remain strong for the former president who was ousted in April, Kurmanbek Bakiyev. Reported by Human Rights Watch and acknowledged by the current government, the abuses come at a time when the new leadership is already riven by infighting ahead of parliamentary elec-

tions in October. With several top ministers having resigned, citing the need to prepare for the vote, the interim president, Roza Otunbayeva, announced Wednesday that she was forming a new caretaker government. The police actions could further inflame hostilities and possibly provoke new clashes, Human Rights Watch said Wednesday in a statement. “They detain one or two people every day,” Anna Neistat, a researcher for the group, said of the moves by local police against ethnic Uzbeks. “They have been

doing this over the last two weeks. And the vast majority of these people seem to be subjected to ill treatment and torture in detention.” Speaking by telephone from the southern city of Osh, where the worst of the deadly violence erupted last month, Neistat said she had documented more than 30 cases of abuse against Uzbeks in police custody, including the case of one Uzbek man who died after being held in custody. A spokesman for Otunbayeva said that the government was making efforts to halt the abuses.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s 20-year plan for the U.S. nuclear arsenal would reduce the number of deployed and stored warheads from 5,000 to a range of 3,000 to 3,500 and significantly increase spending on the complex that maintains them, according to newly disclosed documents. Unclassified sections of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s plan show that annual costs for the weapons complex would increase from about $7 billion in fiscal 2011 to $8.4 billion in 2017 and more than $9 billion by 2030. The agency’s infrastructure will support “active, logistic spare and reserve warheads,” according to the plan, but it will not be “designed to have the capacity to support a return to historical Cold War stockpiles, or rapidly respond to large production spikes.” The plan does not say how many of the 3,000 to 3,500 warheads would be active or deployed. The documents, which were sent in May to key members of the House and Senate Armed Services and Appropriations committees, were made public this week by the Federation of American Scientists and the Union of Concerned Scientists, two nonpartisan groups specializing in nuclear weapons. The NNSA stockpile plan includes $3.5 billion for a new uranium-processing facility at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and funding for a planned $4 billion facility to handle plutonium at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

New York Times News Service

MOSCOW — Russia’s energy minister announced Wednesday a broad program of cooperation with Iran in the oil, natural gas and petrochemical industries that appeared to invite Russian companies to contravene sanctions the Obama administration adopted just two weeks ago. The sanctions were meant to be an additional means of punishing Iran for refusing to unwind its secretive nuclear program after the United States was able to persuade Russia and China to agree to only limited new trade restrictions in a fourth U.N. Security Council resolution against Iran, passed in June. Australia, Canada and Europe also decided to put additional measures against Iran in place.

Presidential waiver While clearly intended to discourage the type of investment the Russian minister discussed, the U.S. sanctions law provides a presidential waiver for companies in countries otherwise seen as cooperating in discouraging Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iran, though a major exporter of crude oil, imports tens of thousands of gallons of gasoline daily to make up for its faltering refining capacity, limited by years of international isolation.

The U.S. sanctions impose penalties on foreign entities that sell refined petroleum to Iran or assist Iran with its domestic refining capacity, a focus intended to exact a harsh financial toll on the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the hard-line group that oversees the country’s nuclear and missile programs and controls much of its oil industry.

Russia warns U.S. Russia’s president, Dmitry Medvedev, voiced opposition to adding any sanctions beyond those imposed by the United Nations, and the foreign ministry warned the United States against trying to punish Russian companies under the new unilateral sanctions. On Wednesday, Russia’s minister of fuel and energy took the most overt stance against the U.S. sanctions so far, announcing the plans for closer cooperation between Russian and Iranian petroleum interests. The Russian statement suggested a working group be formed to identify areas of deeper cooperation in the oil and petrochemical industries, proposing a study for a RussianIranian joint venture oil company and a binational bank to finance such projects. The statement suggested Iran market its crude oil on Russian commodity exchanges.

New Orleans officers plead not guilty Three New Orleans police officers facing federal charges in connection with the shooting deaths of two unarmed men on a bridge after Hurricane Katrina pleaded not guilty Wednesday in a case that highlights the debate over their department’s actions during that troubled period. Sgts. Robert Gisevius and Kenneth Bowen and Officer Anthony Villavaso entered their pleas during initial court appearances in New Orleans. A fourth defendant, former officer Robert Faulcon, was arrested in Texas on Tuesday and has not entered a plea. Two former homicide detectives, Archie Kaufman and Gerard Dugue, have been charged with helping a subsequent coverup of the incident. The Danziger Bridge shootings have become the focus of attention among many in the city angry at the way in which police handled civil order after the flooding. It is one of eight incidents being investigated as part of a comprehensive review by the U.S. Justice Department.

articles he wrote under his own name in 2005 and 2006. The accusations were reported this week by The Denver Post.

FDA advised to issue warning on Avandia WASHINGTON — Faced with conflicting and less-thanconclusive scientific evidence, a majority of a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel voted Wednesday to recommend that the controversial diabetes drug Avandia remain on the market — but with tighter supervision and warnings about the danger of heart attacks.

The FDA is expected to take at least several weeks to consider its response, but the panel’s expression of increased concern is likely to further reduce doctors’ reliance on what was once the prescription of choice for treating Type 2 diabetes. Janet Woodcock, the head of FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, promised “a decision as soon as possible” but did not offer a time frame. — From wire reports

With the new account, called eBanking, Bank of America is showing how it might come up with cheaper ways to offer checking accounts, rather than getting rid of free checking altogether. Analysts have been speculating that banks would dump free checking altogether as they figure out how to deal with massive new regulations that limit many of the fees they have been used to charging. Bank of America got rid of overdraft fees recently in response to the regulatory environment and had hinted that it would have to replace the lost income.

Fed leaders divided on threat of deflation Report also says stimulus saved or created up to 3.6 million jobs By Sewell Chan New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve disclosed Wednesday that its chief policymakers were divided on whether the weak economy faced a new, potentially dangerous threat in the form of deflation. The dissent within the Fed

emerged as the White House released a report estimating that its economic stimulus program had saved or created 2.5 million to 3.6 million jobs since it was enacted, over nearly unanimous Republican opposition, at the start of President Barack Obama’s term. The estimates in the report were

in line with those of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and independent experts. But Senate Republicans, who have blocked legislation to extend unemployment benefits, continued to portray the administration as fiscally reckless and the stimulus as ineffective. See Economy / B2

Home sales in Bend, Redmond up over same period in 2009 By David Holley The Bulletin

Home sales in Bend and Redmond picked up in the second quarter, outmatching sales during the same period in 2009, according to the Bratton Report released Wednesday. With 152 homes sold in Bend, June tied April for 2010’s highest home sales and showed a 10 percent increase over June 2009. Sales in Redmond rose nearly 22 percent from June 2009 to 78 in June 2010. The increase might be a reflection of last-minute first-time homebuyers using the federal government’s $8,000 tax credit, said Bill Watkins, a California-based economist who studies the Oregon and Central Oregon economies. A person using that credit had to enter into a purchase contract by April 30, but has until Sept. 30 to close. “The strength is temporary,” Watkins said. “We expect to see a falloff from that.” The Bratton Report is compiled monthly by Bratton Appraisal Group in Bend. It accounts only for single-family homes, not condominiums, townhomes, manufactured homes or acreage. In Bend, the median sales price rose to $217,000 in June, the highest this year and up 14.2 percent from May, but still far below the $396,000 high Bend saw in May 2007. Last month’s price equaled June 2009. See Home sales / B5

Close to 7,000 motorcycle riders and their families are expected to buzz into Redmond this week for the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America International Rally, which starts today and runs through Sunday at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center. The riders will spend about $6 million on hotels, restaurants and provisions while they’re in town, judging by previous rallies, said Ray Zimmerman, executive director of the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America. The average member of the BMW owners group is male, 55 and has an income of $93,000, he said. “You won’t find a hotel or restaurant in this town whose parking lot is not full of BMWs,” he said.

WASHINGTON — Finding the best deal on a flight has become a lot more difficult, thanks to hefty baggage and service fees that consumers often don’t know about until they show up at the airline counter, congressional investigators say. Those fees are not part of the ticket price, meaning they can easily go unseen

until it’s too late for the consumer to shop around. Amounting to billions of dollars for the airlines, the fees also are exempt from an excise tax, and some lawmakers want to reclaim that money for the Treasury. Airlines, travel agents, online travel services and other ticket distribution channels should be required to disclose fees for checked baggage, changed res-

ervations and other services in a clear and consistent manner, the Government Accountability Office said in a report out Wednesday. Since 2007, many airlines have been charging for services that were traditionally included in the price of a ticket. That’s improved airline bottom lines in a tough economy but raised the ire of travelers who find themselves nickeled-and-

dimed to substantially higher costs. Besides checked bags, some airlines charge fees for seat selection, extra leg room, prime spots in boarding lines, blankets, pillows, drinks and meals. “Those fees can be an unexpected shock totaling hundreds of dollars,” said Charles Leocha, director of the Consumer Travel Alliance.

Nestle will drop claims of health benefits in kids’ drink By William Neuman New York Times News Service

According to a recent Nestle ad campaign aimed at parents, a drink called Boost Kid Essentials was so good for children that it could keep them from getting colds and missing school. But on Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission said the ads were deceptive and announced that Nestle had agreed to stop making the claims. The move was the second in two months aimed at deceptive advertising by a major food manufacturer for products meant for children. A commission official said that the agency was taking a close look at the proliferating number of health claims made for all types of products on supermarket shelves. “Food companies are marketing more of what they call functional foods,” said Karen Mandel, a staff lawyer for the trade commission. The term refers to foods with added nutrients that companies claim can bring health benefits to people who eat or drink them. “If the claims are not substantiated, that’s what we’re looking for, to make sure the claims are truthful,” Mandel said. The action Wednesday involved Boost Kid Essentials, a nutrient-laden beverage made by Nestle HealthCare Nutrition that comes with a straw containing probiotic bacteria, which is similar to the live cultures in yogurt. Many people say they believe that probiotic bacteria aid digestion and provide other benefits.

Report warns of growing risks at Chinese banks By David Barboza New York Times News Service

SHANGHAI — A week after the Agricultural Bank of China raised nearly $20 billion from global investors in one of the biggest stock offerings in history, analysts are warning about growing risks to China’s banking system. A report released Wednesday by Fitch, the credit ratings agency, said Chinese banks were increasingly engaging in complex transactions that hid the size and nature of their lending, obscuring hundreds of billions of dollars in loans and possibly even masking a coming wave of bad real estate and infrastructure loans. The report also said that Chinese regulators significantly understated loan growth in the first half of the year, by 28 percent, or about $190 billion, and that many banks continued to secretly shift loans off the books, resulting in a “pervasive understatement of credit growth and credit exposure.” While China’s economy remains robust, the report is troubling because the country’s recovery has been fueled by aggressive lending and soaring property prices. Lending by state-run banks was one of China’s most aggressive forms of economic stimulus last year, but analysts constantly warned that banks could face the risk from overbuilding and nonperforming loans. Beijing is trying to tame housing prices, rein in overly aggressive lending and stop banks from shifting loans off their books. China’s biggest banks, like Bank of China and China Construction Bank, are relatively healthy, analysts say. But many banks could face sizable risks if borrowers failed to repay the loans. The Fitch report does not name any banks specifically, but it

raises concerns about the health of China’s banks as many begin to raise capital through initial public offerings. The Agricultural Bank begins trading Thursday in Shanghai, while three other big state banks, including the Bank of China, have each raised billions of dollars in public listings in the last five years. Analysts say that trying to rein in growth is a delicate and precarious balancing act and that even regulators are struggling to keep up with the rapid innovation in the banking system. Chinese banks reported a sharp drop in lending in the first half of the year after record amounts in 2009, suggesting that the economy was growing at a strong clip with more normalized lending. But Fitch said Wednesday that lending had continued to be aggressive — powering the economy, but raising the risk of nonperforming loans. Much of the lending through off-balance-sheet channels is fueled by privately owned trust companies that are partnering with banks and engaging in complex deals that involve repackaging loans into investment products — akin to an informal type of securitization. The deals are essentially disguised loans, analysts say. Beijing has tried repeatedly to stop the practice, but analysts say that banks and trust companies have come up with innovative ways around the rules. Last week, the China Banking Regulatory Commission ordered banks to stop working with trust companies to securitize or repackage loans, according to industry analysts. But the regulator made no official announcement. A spokesman in Beijing for the commission declined to comment Wednesday, insisting that senior officials needed to be alerted to the request for an interview.

Fees Continued from B1 In the last budget year, 10 U.S. airlines collected $7.8 billion in such fees, congressional accountants say. The leader was Delta Air Lines, the world’s largest airline, with $1.6 billion. Rep. James Oberstar, DMinn., who led a House hearing Wednesday on the matter, told airlines that the public will push back “and then Congress will act” if the industry does not show restraint with the fees. “That’s not a threat,” he said. “That’s history.” Airlines say fees benefit passengers because they allow airlines to keep ticket prices down and consumers pay only for services they use. “This is a deregulated industry and this is an industry that should be able to charge whatever it opts to charge for services,” said David Castelveter, a spokesman for the Air Transport Association, which represents major airlines. “There is no reason why one passenger should subsidize another for a service he or she doesn’t consume,” Castelveter said. He said airlines already disclose the fees consumers are most concerned about, like checked bag fees, on their websites. But the GAO’s Gerald Dillingham told the hearing airline fees “are not very transparent.” American, Continental, Delta, US Airways and United all charge $25 for the first checked bag, and $35 for the second, according to the booking website Kayak. JetBlue charges $10 and up for additional legroom. AirTran charges $6 for passengers to get seat assignments in

Economy Continued from B1 “I know what they’re against, but I don’t know what they’re for,” Vice President Joe Biden said of the Republicans as he unveiled the report. “I mean that literally.” With Congress deadlocked over fiscal policy, attention has shifted to monetary policy as a tool for attacking the 9.5 percent unemployment rate. But on that score, the Fed is also divided, although its disagreements are expressed in a far more genteel manner. On Wednesday, the Fed lowered

License plates on the growing numbers of motorcycles, RVs and cars parked throughout town announce visitors from all over North America: Colorado, Texas, Quebec. Some riders are coming from Germany, Japan, England and South Africa, Zimmerman said. Most riders come on “Beemers,” or BMW motorcycles, known for being reliable, well-built and quiet. But the rally also draws the occasional Suzukis, Hondas and Harleys. Carolyne Seguin, 48, and Eric Wilson, 54, rode 2,400 miles from Ontario, Canada, on Wilson’s Kawasaki Concours 1000. They started meeting other riders headed to the rally as early as North Dakota, Wilson said. They’re looking forward to taking day trips, especially a drive down the Oregon Coast, and meeting up with other riders. They have plenty of friends here, even though neither of them rides a BMW. “You don’t just associate with people who ride a certain bike. You’re all exploring the world together,” Seguin said.

Snacks at most airlines run $2 to $5, meals a bit more. The Transportation Department is considering requiring airlines to disclose two ticket prices to passengers: a “full fare” with all mandatory charges like taxes, and “full fare-plus” with the extras. Computer reservation systems used by travel agents and ticketing services are capable of providing clear information on fees that allows consumers to compare total trip prices. That hasn’t happened because airlines won’t supply the travel industry with fees, Kyle Moore, vice president of Sabre Holdings, which owns Travelocity, told the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Ben Baldanza, president and CEO of low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines, acknowledged that his airline doesn’t provide ticketing

services with fee information because he doesn’t want to be at a competitive disadvantage with other airlines whose prices might appear lower because they exclude the cost of extras. Moore said there would be no such concern if all airlines were required to supply ticketing services with the information. The vast majority of consumers buy tickets based on the lowest fare, witnesses told the committee. About half the airline tickets sold in the U.S. are bought through ticketing services. The government charges a 7.5 percent excise tax on airline tickets to pay for the air traffic system. The IRS ruled last year that optional fees aren’t subject to the excise tax. The report says the government could have raised $186 million last year if the checked bag fees alone had been taxed, an amount likely to grow as airlines charge more fees.

its estimate of economic growth for this year, to a range of 3 percent to 3.5 percent, from the 3.2 percent to 3.7 percent forecast in April. Inflation has been running well below the Fed’s unofficial target of nearly 2 percent, so much so that a few officials fear that the United States is at risk of the kind of deflationary spiral that has hobbled the Japanese economy for the better part of two decades. The Fed’s chairman, Ben Bernanke, has not embraced that view, but even those who disagree with it say the Fed, whose modern institutional culture was built around fighting inflation, now

confronts a distinctly different problem of high joblessness. The minutes released Wednesday from the June 22-23 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed’s crucial policy body, cited the threat of deflation in the United States for the first time in a year. “A few participants cited some risk of deflation,” the minutes noted. “Other participants, however, thought that inflation was unlikely to fall appreciably further, given the stability of inflation expectations in recent years and very accommodative monetary policy.”

“You don’t just associate with people who ride a certain bike. You’re all exploring the world together.” — Carolyne Seguin, rally attendee aged to load a tent, air mattress and sleeping bags on a homemade rack on the back of his bike. But they packed only water — not much else can fit on a bike loaded up with gear. They plan to buy food and anything else they need at local restaurants and stores, Seguin said. The rally offers a vintage BMW display, nightly entertainment, about 75 seminars on topics ranging from riding techniques to safety, and other events. About 125 vendors are selling everything from insurance to a tent with a built-in motorcycle parking spot. It’s a child-friendly event, Zimmerman said, and a lot of families attend — parents drive cars or campers, or ride with their children on the back of the bike or in a sidecar. The rally is a private event for BMW riders and their guests, but stunt-riding demonstrations

at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday outside the fairgrounds are free and open to the public. This is the rally’s second time coming to Redmond; the first was in 2001. Redmond was chosen for its sunny weather, intriguing local terrain and the hospitality of the fairgrounds and surrounding communities, Zimmerman said. Redmond is one of only three cities that have hosted the 38-year-old event twice, he said, and it’s possible it may return to Central Oregon in another nine years. After the rally concludes, fairgrounds officials will survey local businesses and release an estimate of how much the riders spent. The fairgrounds will host another large event next month for the Family Motor Coach Association. That convention drew more than 2,600 motor homes when it came to Redmond in 2007, according to newspaper archives. Adrianne Jeffries can be reached at 541-633-2117 or at ajeffries@bendbulletin.com.

P F When debt buyers pursue, legal defenses are limited By Chris Serres and Glenn Howatt Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

MINNEAPOLIS — The page was mostly blank. It contained only a name, three words and a series of tiny numbers. But in Minnesota’s creditor-friendly court system, the page became the sole legal evidence that Darren Sabinske had defaulted on a Citibank credit card nearly eight years ago. Sabinske, a security technician from Albertville, Minn., was ordered to pay $7,595 to Debt Equities LLC of Golden Valley, Minn., whose business is collecting old debts. Sabinske insists he never owned a Citibank card but was soon to learn the frustration of trying to defend himself against a computer database that listed his name near that of the bank. “All they had was a row of numbers,” he said. In the hands of the new breed of debt collectors, those rows of numbers have become gold mines. Firms with little-known names, such as LVNV Funding and Unifund CCR Partners, buy massive databases of unpaid debts for cents on the dollar, and then inundate courts with legal actions seeking to collect the full amount, plus interest and fees. These firms, known as debt buyers, base their claims on data up to 15 years old that can be impossible to verify. The National Consumer Law Center, an advocacy group for low-income Americans, estimates that one in 10 debt-buyer lawsuits nationwide is based on inaccurate information. Bank accounts have been tapped, wages seized and people threatened with arrest for debts they don’t owe or for inflated amounts. While regulators have been imposing new rules on credit card issuers in recent months to protect consumers, debt buyers operate with little regulation. “When consumers make small mistakes, such as failing to answer a lawsuit, the full power of the courts comes down on them,” said Sam Glover, a consumer rights attorney in Minneapolis. “But when a debt buyer flouts the law, it rarely experiences any consequences and keeps collecting as if nothing happened.” Debt buyers insist that mistakes are exaggerated by consumer attorneys. The aggressive pursuit of old debts should be cheered by those who pay their bills and want access to cheap credit, said Robert Markoff, a collection attorney from Chicago. “If you knew your neighbors didn’t have to pay their bills, then why would you be a chump and pay yours?” he said. “Debt buyers fill a need, though not everyone is going to like it.” Valerie Hayes, general counsel for ACA International, an association in Edina, Minn., that represents the collections industry, said there is no hard data to back up the claim that debt buyers are filing

Bonnie Hanson, right, and her daughter, Sherry Peterson, fought for two years to get a debt buyer to stop trying to collect on an old credit-card debt dating back to 1995. With them is Peterson’s son, Ethan. unsubstantiated lawsuits. “It’s hard to solve the problem when you’re not sure what the problem is,” she said.

Mystery debt Bonnie Hanson, of Rockford, Minn., is still baffled about a forgotten $260 debt that turned into a $5,800 judgment. In the late 1990s, she co-signed a Best Buy credit card agreement for her daughter. Hanson paid off the card in 1997 — or thought she did — after her daughter defaulted. Later, a new $260 charge showed up on the account, possibly from a purchase. But Hanson says she didn’t know of that charge or the ticking debt. By 2004, the card issuer had sold the debt to Sherman Financial Group, a large New Yorkbased debt buyer whose collectors started calling Hanson. She sent the firm a copy of the payoff check — still unaware of the additional $260 time-bomb — and the collection effort stopped. Three years later, Hanson got another demand, this time from Messerli & Kramer, a Minneapolis law firm associated with debt buyer Dakota Bluff Financial LLC, which had repurchased the debt. With accumulated interest and fees, the firm was seeking a judgment for $5,818. “It’s like they picked a number out of thin air,” Hanson said. Though her daughter protested by phone and a fax, the firm filed an “affidavit of no answer” with the court claiming that Hanson didn’t respond to its lawsuit. In early 2008, the firm began gar-

nishing Hanson’s wages. Hanson’s husband, Jerry, happened to know a lawyer at Faegre & Benson, a Minneapolis law firm, who offered to help without charge. A Faegre & Benson attorney sent a letter to the Messerli firm accusing it of filing “materially inaccurate information” in court. Messerli immediately ceased collection efforts and returned Hanson’s garnished pay. Hanson remains bitter. “At bare minimum, these firms should be required to provide evidence of a debt before they drag you through the mud,” she said. Messerli & Kramer said it has a policy of discontinuing collections actions after a debtor produces a canceled check. The firm said it has no record that the Hanson family ever sent it a check.

Birth of an industry Two decades ago, unpaid debts didn’t live forever. If a bank or credit-card company couldn’t collect within two years, it typically would write off the account as uncollectible and take a tax deduction. A black mark was placed on a borrower’s credit report, but the debt otherwise didn’t follow the individual. All of this began to change with the savings and loan debacle of the late 1980s. The Resolution Trust Corp., the federal entity that liquidated failed thrifts, auctioned off nearly $500 billion of unpaid loans, spawning an industry to buy, resell and collect old debts. Later, these firms shifted to buying and collecting consumer debt, finding a rich vein of new business

in unpaid credit card accounts. Between 1990 and 2005, outstanding credit-card debt in the United States grew from $214 billion to $830 billion. The debt-buying industry got another boost in 2005 from sweeping changes to federal bankruptcy law that made it harder for people in financial distress to wipe the slate clean. Instead, many struggling borrowers defaulted on loans, expanding the debt buyers’ market. Today, buyers exist for almost every type of charged-off debt — from unpaid cell phone accounts to hospital bills — and they are ready to hound people for years over old debts.

Abuses One of the worst abuses in the industry involved the dead woman who seemingly pursued debtors from the grave. The signature of Martha Kunkle appeared on thousands of sworn affidavits prepared over the past five years attesting to credit card debts in many states. Kunkle, of Texas, died in 1995. For reasons that remain unclear, workers at a bank kept signing her name on debt-verification documents furnished to 30 debt buyers nationwide. Last year, Portfolio Recovery Associates Inc. of Virginia and CACV of Colorado LLC, two of the nation’s largest debt buyers, agreed to pay more than $1 million in damages in a class-action lawsuit representing about 30,000 people whose case documents allegedly contained the forgery. The two firms denied wrongdoing.

78.3. About 40 percent of women live to 90. Because people are living longer and fewer will have the guaranteed pensions that the previous generation enjoyed, personal savings — either through 401(k) plans, IRAs or other accounts — are crucial. “People haven’t saved enough and have invested poorly,” said VanDerhei. People often skip investing when young and then discover the clock ticking toward retirement around 40, then are too aggressive. Prior to the recession, many baby boomers were trying to catch up for years of deficient savings by investing heavily in stocks. But the approach blew up after 2007, when the stock market crashed 56 percent. The people in the best shape with savings tend to have 401(k) plans, said VanDerhei. With such plans, people save regularly, while people who must go on their own to a broker or mutual fund company to start an IRA tend to procrastinate.

POTTERY

CHICAGO — Following the job and investing horrors of the last three years, many Americans fear they will end up in retirement like Old Mother Hubbard. But while their cupboards are likely to contain more than a bone, a sobering study released Tuesday shows the fantasy isn’t far off the mark. About 47 percent of early baby boomers, now 56 to 62 years old, are not expected to have enough money to cover basic living expenses like food, utilities and health care through retirement. That’s actually an improvement over seven years ago, but still a dreadful reality for many. “Their Social Security alone will not pay for all they need,” said Jack VanDerhei, research director for the Employee Benefit Research Institute study. Members of Generation X, ranging from 36 to 45 years old, should be in better shape because they have more time to prepare. Nevertheless, 44.5 percent of them also are expected to

run out of money, the study said. Inadequate savings will be disastrous for individuals who want to live as comfortably in retirement as they lived their working years. Even those who have saved adequately could be affected: New taxes or limits on Social Security may be required to help an overburdened system cope with so many needy people. Although middle- and lowerincome people are most at risk of running out of money in retirement, even the highest-income people, baby boomers now making more than $72,500, could be at risk if they have a disease or accident that requires them to enter a nursing home early in their retirement years, said VanDerhei, who led the study. Nursing-home costs average $200 a day. VanDerhei estimates about 13 percent of the high-income group would exhaust their savings prematurely. When Social Security was established in the 1930s, people lived on average to 61.7. Now, the U.S. Census estimates that a 65-year-old can expect to live to

The Kunkle case wasn’t the only one to bite the industry. In an Ohio case, a federal judge found that a Midland Funding LLC employee had signed debt-verification documents at random. Under questioning, Midland employee Ivan Jimenez admitted he signed up to 400 affidavits a day, asserting “personal knowledge” about each debt case, though he knew nothing about them. Midland, a unit of one of the nation’s largest debt buyers, Encore Capital Management of San Diego, said any missteps were unintentional. U.S. District Judge David Katz rejected Midland’s explanation. The judge ruled in August that the firm’s sworn assertions of personal knowledge were “clearly false statements” for which Midland “offered absolutely no legitimate explanation.” He ordered the company to cease the practice. Sworn affidavits often are the sole evidence courts use to validate a debt, the step that is necessary for a debt buyer to get a court order to seize money from someone’s bank account or paycheck. Krystyna Bartulska, a housekeeping manager at the Hilton Minneapolis hotel, said she sent a letter to Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson’s office in May after a New York debt buyer, Erin Capital Management, began garnishing her paycheck for a 10year-old debt. Bartulska said her ex-husband paid the debt in full in 2004, and she sent a copy of the canceled check to Swanson’s office. Three weeks later, the Attorney General’s Office sent a letter saying it could not help. By then, Bartulska had been slapped with a default judgment. She contacted the state Commerce Department, which regulates traditional collectors but not debt buyers. She got no response. “I’ve got no one else to complain to,” she said.

JPMorgan chief may be only financial superstar left

Home sales Continued from B1 Meanwhile, the median sales prices per square foot, considered a better measure of value in the industry, was $110 in June, up from $103 in May. Because the median sales price rose at a sharper rate than the price per foot, that means bigger homes are starting to sell, said Andy Zook, an owner of Arbor Mortgage in Bend. Previously, many sales were first-time homebuyers looking for smaller, less costly homes, Zook said. There are other buyers than just those shopping for the lowest-priced homes, he said. In Redmond, the median sales price was $129,000 in June, up 5.7 percent from May, but 13.4 percent below June 2009 and 55 percent below the city’s peak of $289,000 in November 2006. A rise in recorded prices is related to the inventory that’s sold, Watkins said. Prices dropped during the beginning of the recession because no homes were being sold, he said. Then the bottom rung was sold, and now, higher-end inventory is selling, hiking reported prices slightly. In April, May and June, the median sales prices per square foot in Redmond were at the lowest level since at least 2005. June rebounded slightly to $77 per square foot from $75 in both May and April. More homes sold in Jefferson County during the second quarter of 2010 — 49 — than any other quarter since the end of 2006, when 61 sold. It’s the same story for Crook County, where 73 homes sold in the second quarter of 2010. Four years ago, during the second quarter of 2006, 88 homes sold. One reason so many homes sold in Jefferson and Crook counties may be the low cost of the homes, Watkins said. At a $72,000 median sales price for single-family homes in Jefferson County, and $99,000 in Crook County, the prices are the lowest in Central Oregon. Facebook could have caused a few people to buy homes in Crook County, Watkins added. The social networking website announced in January it would build a data center in Prineville. That project is expected to be completed by January 2011. “It’s still a tough market in real estate,” Watkins said.

Jamie Dimon is not the modernday John Pierpont Morgan. He is not the new king of Wall Street, and he’s certainly not President Barack Obama’s BBF (best banker friend). At least, that’s what he will tell you over lunch at the Park Avenue headquarters of JPMorgan Chase, the descendant of the House of Morgan that came through the global financial crisis bigger, stronger and healthier than its rivals. But taking a victory lap, or even basking in the adulation he has received while his fellow bank chiefs have been pounded, is the last thing Dimon claims to want. He knows all too well the dangers of swaggering in the footsteps of former Wall Street kings like Sanford Weill, his onetime mentor, who helped build Citigroup into an institution so unwieldy it nearly went bankrupt, or Lloyd Blankfein, the Goldman Sachs chief whose crown has been tarnished by accusations of doubledealing under his watch. Instead, Dimon worries openly that new financial regulations, which are expected to be passed by the Senate on Thursday and signed by Obama shortly thereafter, will cost his bank billions and that the jittery economy may suffer another setback. And that rivals, lurking in every corner of the world, are devising new ways to “clean our clocks.” In fact, in a lunchtime interview, his outlook was so cautious, his tone so subdued, that it prompted a senior aide to gently interrupt: “Jamie, how about mentioning a few of our positives, too?”

Jamie the giant For all the talk of gloom and doom, the postcrisis era looks brighter than Dimon is willing to acknowledge. In Washington, the financial industry was largely successful in blunting the toughest legislative proposals. On Wall Street, the deluge of losses is slowing and ultra-low interest rates are helping all banks make money. JPMorgan, in particular, is poised to increase its profit and gain market share in several businesses as many of its competitors continue to struggle to get back on their feet. The crisis cemented Dimon’s reputation as a financial superstar — a bold dealmaker who buys when others are selling, a strict risk manager who resisted the type of exotic businesses that felled others and a charismatic

Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, attends a conference about new efforts by the bank to help small businesses at the bank’s Manhattan headquarters last month. For all Dimon’s talk of gloom and doom, the future for JPMorgan Chase is looking bright after a series of big deals during the crisis. leader who charms lawmakers and credit traders alike. He is now commonly referred to by a single name, like Pele or Madonna. “Right now, there are virtually no giants on Wall Street except maybe Jamie,” said David Rubenstein, a founder of the Carlyle Group and a longtime financial and political hand. Dimon earned that distinction by playing as much defense as offense during the housing boom, which insulated JPMorgan more than most when the boom went bust. Then, when the bust became a full-blown financial crisis, Dimon went hunting for bargains, significantly expanding his position in investment and retail banking while others were shrinking. Now, those efforts are paying off. Even with a slowdown in trading, analysts are forecasting a profit of 70 cents a share when JPMorgan reports its secondquarter earnings on Thursday, about the same as a year ago.

when it comes to retail banking. They are not American Express when it comes to credit cards. They are not BlackRock when it comes to asset management,” said Michael Mayo of Credit Agricole Securities. “And JPMorgan is not Goldman Sachs in emerging markets.” Dimon is trying to make up that lost ground. Over the last three years, he has plowed more than $10 billion into his main businesses. He recently announced plans to build up his corporate bank and make an aggressive push into Brazil, China and a dozen or so other emerging markets that were growing at a faster pace than developed economies. That would put him toe to toe with banks like Citigroup, HSBC and Standard Chartered that have been in these markets for decades. It is an approach right out of the Dimon playbook, mixing competitive paranoia with hardball dealmaking and careful management of investor expectations.

Making a move

that he was focused not on lifting quarterly profits but on building a strong company for the long haul. Dimon has refined that formula in recent years, seizing more than a few opportunities to reposition his bank while his rivals were in deep distress. With his purchase of the teetering Bear Stearns — subsidized by taxpayers and steeply discounted at $10 a share — Dimon filled in crucial gaps in his investment bank. Where JPMorgan had traditionally been a big bond house, the addition of Bear invigorated its stock and commodities trading operations and added a lucrative prime brokerage business, which provides financing to hedge funds, that had been high on his wish list. He took Washington Mutual off the government’s hands for a mere $1.9 billion, giving his retail bank a giant share of the nation’s deposits and turning it, overnight, into a major player in California. (It helped, of course, that nobody else entered a bid.) Dimon was aggressive in dealing with Washington, too. Whereas the heads of Citigroup and Bank of America struck a conciliatory tone with policymakers, Dimon was downright confrontational. JPMorgan’s 22-person Washington office was spending more than $7.7 million on lobbying over the last five quarters, more than any other bank, according to the Center for Public Integrity. Meanwhile, in speeches and

A refined formula

At age 54, Dimon has only begun trying to build the kind of global banking empire he initially set out to create with Weill at Citigroup. While JPMorgan’s share price fared better than most of the banking sector through the turbulence of the last few years, at around $40.35 it remains roughly where it was when Dimon took over as chief executive in December 2005. And analysts point out that while JPMorgan’s overall operation is in better shape than most, the bank does not enjoy a top position in any single business. “They are not Wells Fargo

He made a name for himself as Weill’s young operations whiz, helping assemble Citigroup in the late 1990s through a series of flashy mergers. After arriving at Bank One in 2000, he spent the next few years fixing the ailing regional lender. Then, after Bank One’s merger with JPMorgan in 2004, he orchestrated a similar turnaround. He spent three years stitching together the banks’ disparate computer systems and getting a handle on the financial risks lurking on its balance sheet. Every step of the way, he told investors

in private meetings with lawmakers, he criticized credit card legislation, protested a proposed bank tax and complained that JPMorgan — which, he reminded them, accepted bailout funds with reluctance — was being unfairly punished for the sins of its competitors. The result? A sweeping financial reform bill that most analysts say will not fundamentally change the way the industry does business. Many of the harshest measures were significantly watered down or delayed. JPMorgan, for example, will be allowed to retain its giant hedge fund unit, Highbridge Capital Management, and its status as a derivatives powerhouse. Despite his semi-victory, Dimon says being the chief is less fun these days, now that politics are so intertwined with his job. Dimon insists that the closeness of his relationship with Obama has been “greatly exaggerated,” as was the portrayal of any fallout with the White House. Still, he remains adamant that Washington’s “indiscriminate vilification” of all banks was wrong. “What I object to is the blanketing blame,” he said. “I think it is not accurate and leads to bad policy.”

Nissan has not yet revealed its warranty terms but has said they will be competitive. Tesla, a Silicon Valley-based maker of electric cars, provides a three-year or 36,000-mile warranty on its Roadster sports car. The Volt and the Leaf are at the leading edge of a major rollout of electric vehicle technology in the United States, even

New York Times News Service

General Motors executives, from left, Micky Bly, Bill Wallace, Nancy Laubenthal and Tom Stephens announce a warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles for its Chevrolet Volt batteries in Brownstown, Mich., on Wednesday. though a public infrastructure for charging the cars is far from being sorted out. Both cars will include some form of homecharging system. The Volt is expected to be available for retail sale in four markets — California; Washington, D.C.; Austin, Texas; and the New York City metropolitan area — by the end of the year, with availability in all 50 states aimed for 12 to 15 months after that. GM said this month that it planned to produce 10,000 Volts by the end of next year, with an additional 30,000 cars planned for 2012. The official retail price for the Volt — which has an advertised range of up to 40 miles on a single charge, plus a gasoline-assisted “range extender” feature — has not yet been announced, but estimates are in the range of $35,000 to $40,000, with federal tax credits likely to shave off several thousand dollars for many buyers. The Nissan Leaf, a fully electric car with a marketed range of up to 100 miles per charge, will retail for just under $33,000, and the same credits could help.

The warranty announcement came a day ahead of President Barack Obama’s arrival in Holland, Mich., where he will attend groundbreaking ceremonies for a new plant that will manufacture the Volt’s battery packs. The battery company, Compact Power, is a subsidiary of the South Korean battery maker LG Chem, and the plant is expected to employ roughly 300 people. Ford Motor Co. announced this week that it, too, would be using batteries manufactured by Compact Power in the electric version of its Ford Focus, which it plans to begin marketing next year. The Obama administration carved out $2.4 billion in grants from last year’s economic stimulus package to help pay for research and production on advanced battery and electric vehicles. That money has gone to some four dozen projects developing batteries and electric drive-train components in more than 20 states.

LILY RAFF

School’s out; community schools are in Just a few blocks from my home in Bend, Amity Creek Magnet School has all it takes to entertain summer-loving kids: a lush field, shiny new playground equipment and a basketball court. But you won’t find children there now. A locked chain-link fence keeps anyone from setting foot on the property until September. Compare this to M.A. Lynch Elementary School, in Redmond, where this week I saw families picnicking and frolicking on the school grounds. The difference is just one reflection of Lynch’s special status as a “Community School,” which turns it into an allhours gathering place. There’s an onsite health clinic for children and teens, tutoring for students, social services for families, even continuing education classes for adults, though programs are scaled back during the summer. Community schools are becoming more common around the country. And thanks to a local group with $1 million to spend, a handful of Central Oregon schools will soon be converted into similar hubs. Two years ago, I wrote about how the Oregon Community Foundation, to commemorate its endowment topping the $1 billion mark, gave $1 million to each of the state’s eight regions. Volunteers from each region were asked to identify a local problem and then dole out the money to solve it. Volunteers from Central Oregon (Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson, Sherman, Wasco and Wheeler counties) honed in on community schools as a flexible way to meet a slew of needs. “They allow us to reach out to entire communities, from preschool through retirement age,” explains Linda Moore, a member of the committee. This summer, the group handed out its first three grants, worth a total of $202,800, to help turn Sisters’ elementary, middle and high schools, Redmond’s Vern Patrick Elementary School, and elementary schools in Fossil, Mitchell and Spray into full-bore community schools. The schools must raise additional money from other sources, and OCF will hand out more next year. Before deciding to fund community schools, the group studied Lynch Elementary, which, in 2007, became the first local community school. With roughly 20 percent of its students speaking English as a second language, Lynch used to struggle to meet federal standards. In 2007, just 29 percent of the school’s English Language Learners met or exceeded standards for math, compared with 63 percent school-wide. Today, Lynch boasts a passing rate of 88 percent among ELL students and 87 percent overall. One secret? Teachers get paid to spend time before and after school working with students who lag behind. “It used to be that to get extra help, a student had to leave the classroom during the day and miss the core class,” says Desiree Margo, the school’s new principal. The only additional cost to the district — covered by grants, though not from OCF — is the extra teaching time and the salary of a community school coordinator, Nate Muñoz. The health clinic and mental health resources are funded by the county but are now housed inside the school. Head Start is, too, so preschool and kindergarten teachers can meet to get children on track right away. Private partnerships provide other opportunities. The Boys and Girls Club is located on campus. Gymnastics, soccer and chess are offered after school. The list goes on. Individual community members are encouraged to share their skills with students, too. Local artist Annie Painter, for example, led art projects and advised teachers during the school year, after budget cuts eliminated music, art and physical education specialists. “The community seems to be really comfortable in the school,” Painter observes. “They’re using it and they feel like it’s theirs.” As more local schools adopt this philosophy in coming years, who knows, maybe some padlocks will be removed. That’s the million-dollar idea, anyway. Lily Raff can be reached at lraff@bendbulletin.com or 541-617-7836.

The push for timber payments Lawmakers’ letter to President Obama supports extending program that brings region $7M a year By Keith Chu The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — Rural lawmakers kicked off their push to renew federal payments to rural schools and county governments on Wednesday, in a letter to President Barack Obama. The Secure Rural Schools and Communities Self-Determination Act, more commonly called the county timber payment program, brings more than $7 million to Central Oregon counties each year to compensate for the

large swaths of land that are in federal hands. That program, though, expires after next year’s federal budget, which is why Oregon’s U.S. Congressional delegation and a coalition of groups representing rural counties are pushing for its renewal. The bipartisan letter drew signatures from 29 U.S. senators. A letter signed by more than 60 U.S. House members, including all five Oregon members, is expected to be sent today, according to an aide to U.S. Rep. Peter Defazio,

D-Springfield. “The (Secure Rural Schools and Communities Self-Determination Act) is not an entitlement program, but rather a demonstration of the commitment the nation made to rural forest counties when it determined a large block of our forest lands should be set aside for the entire nation,” the senators wrote. This year, the program will steer $3.6 million to Deschutes County, $2.7 million to Crook County and about $636,000 to Jefferson County. County timber payments, provide more than $100 million a year to rural Oregon counties and schools. Wyden, DOre., co-wrote the original bill in 2001 as a way to soften the blow of the decimat-

ed logging industry. The program was set to expire in 2006, but it was extended for a year in 2007 and then for four years in 2008, when it was attached to the Wall Street bailout just days before its final passage. It’s now set to expire at the end of the 2011 federal budget. In Deschutes County, that money mostly goes toward road maintenance and construction. Unlike Curry and Douglas counties, where local officials have warned of massive budget cuts should timber payments end, Deschutes County could weather the end of the program, said County Commissioner Alan Unger. That doesn’t mean the county doesn’t need the money. See Payments / C5

‘Extreme hopscotch’

Cyrus property holding up PUC can regulate county decision on resorts water company, Nick Grube The Bulletin

Deschutes County commissioners reached a stalemate Wednesday over a controversial amendment to a proposed destination resort zoning policy. At issue was whether the county should keep a provision that was written to specifically allow the Cyrus family to retain its ability to one day build a destination resort at its Aspen Lakes subdivision near Sisters. “I would say we’re definitely in a little gridlock,” Commissioner Tammy Baney said after Wednesday’s meeting. Baney made a motion to remove the Aspen Lakes exemption from the proposed destination resort rules, but she was unable to get support from either Alan Unger or Dennis Luke. Unger, on the other hand, pushed to adopt the new rules in order to allow the Cyrus family to remain on the county’s destination resort map and move forward with its resort plans. But Unger encountered the same problem as Baney — she and Luke refused to second his motion. During a break in the meeting, Unger said the reason he wanted the exemption for Aspen Lakes

“I would say we’re definitely in a little gridlock” — Commissioner Tammy Baney is because it is already on the current map, and the Cyrus family has already made “substantial investments.” “We’re not supporting any resort, we’re just supporting who stays on the map because there’s a whole (vetting) process after that,” Unger said. “I would prefer we just leave the map the way it was and go through all the weeds when we get there.” Deschutes County is in the process of updating its destination resort map to match changes to state and county laws that have made certain land on the current map ineligible to have resorts. It also wants to create a new policy that would allow property owners to apply to be placed on the map. Under this new policy, however, subdivisions are not allowed to be on the map unless they meet a specific exemption that only seems to apply to Aspen Lakes. That ex-

emption was recently added to the proposed policy after Matt Cyrus, whose father is Deschutes County Planning Commissioner Keith Cyrus, met with county commissioners to discuss the changes to proposed destination resort ordinances. Matt Cyrus has said his family wants to convert their Aspen Lakes subdivision and golf course into a resort to add overnight lodging, build more homes and expand the gold course from 18 to 27 holes. Because the commissioners did not make a decision Wednesday, Deschutes County Principal Planner Peter Gutowsky said, there are now several options for what could happen with the county’s destination resort map, and the Cyruses bid to stay on it. He said each scenario will be contingent upon what the commissioners decide to do when they revisit the issue at the July 28 meeting. If Baney is successful in getting the Aspen Lakes provision removed from the ordinance, and the commission votes to approve it, Gutowsky said the Cyrus family could still apply to the county to be placed back on the destination resort map. Whether the family would receive approval, however, is uncertain. See Resorts / C5

county judge rules By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

The battle between water customers and the Crooked River Ranch Water Company took another turn when a Jefferson County Circuit Court judge ruled the water company’s move to restructure — avoiding regulation by the Oregon Public Utilities Commission — was invalid. For years, the water customers have maintained they have no say in a water company that technically belongs to them. They have raised questions about how the company’s money is being spent and said they’ve been denied access to financial records. When the members signed a petition so the Oregon Public Utilities Commission could start regulating the water company, they thought they were on their way to solving the problems they had with the company. The water company changed to a cooperative after the PUC started to regulate the company. And the PUC can’t legally regulate a cooperative. See Water / C5

Hiker missing near Three Creeks Lake Deschutes County Search and Rescue personnel were in the area of Three Creeks Lake looking for a missing hiker on Wednesday night. According to dispatchers, the hiker failed to return to a campground when expected, and was reported missing at 5:41 p.m. Additional details were not available late Wednesday. Three Creeks Lake is located below the Tam McArthur Rim about 17 miles south of Sisters.

Campfire causes brush fire in 3 Rivers An escaped campfire on Quartz Hill Road between La Pine and Sunriver burned approximately one-quarter of an acre early Wednesday morning. Firefighters from the La Pine Rural Fire District and the Sunriver Fire Department, along with deputies from the Deschutes County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office,

were dispatched to the fire at 5:14 a.m. A deputy who arrived first was able to protect a nearby home by raking fuels away from a deck, but a vehicle and a trailer in the area were burned. An investigation suggests a campfire from the prior Saturday night was the most likely cause of the fire, which appears to have crept along a half-buried decaying root or branch before finding open fuels.

Construction detour on Forest Road 12 Construction work to improve a bridge on Forest Road 12 near U.S. Highway 20 and Suttle Lake will close a segment of the road in the upcoming month, according to a news release from the Deschutes National Forest. Starting today, crews will work to replace culverts of a bridge to improve fish passage in the creek. Signs alerting motorists to the construction work and directing them to a detour will be posted.

Motorists are asked to use caution while traveling through the work area.

Use caution during motorcycle rally A motorcycle rally being held in Redmond today through Sunday has prompted the Oregon Department of Transportation to advise drivers and motorcyclists to use caution while sharing the roads, according to a news release from ODOT. The rally in Redmond will be held by the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America. It is one of two rallies being held in Oregon this week. ODOT asks that both motorcyclists and drivers of larger vehicles be alert while driving to ensure the safety of everyone on the road. ODOT urges drivers to check mirrors and blind spots before merging, changing lanes and entering intersections, as motorcycles are sometimes difficult to see.

TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On July 15, 1910, the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diseaseâ&#x20AC;? was used to describe a progressive form of presenile dementia in the book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clinical Psychiatryâ&#x20AC;? by German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin, who credited the work of his colleague, Alois Alzheimer, in identifying the condition. ON THIS DATE In 1870, Georgia became the last Confederate state readmitted to the Union. Manitoba entered confederation as the fifth Canadian province. In 1916, Boeing Co., originally known as Pacific Aero Products Co., was founded in Seattle. In 1918, the Second Battle of the Marne, resulting in an Allied victory, began during World War I. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman was nominated for another term of office by the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia. In 1964, Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona was nominated for president by the Republican national convention in San Francisco. In 1971, President Richard Nixon startled the country by announcing he would visit the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republic of China. In 1976, a 36-hour kidnap ordeal began for 26 schoolchildren and their bus driver as they were abducted near Chowchilla, Calif., by three gunmen and imprisoned in an underground cell. (The captives escaped unharmed.)

T O D AY IN HISTORY In 1979, President Jimmy Carter delivered his â&#x20AC;&#x153;malaiseâ&#x20AC;? speech in which he lamented what he called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;crisis of confidenceâ&#x20AC;? in America. In 1985, a shockingly gauntlooking Rock Hudson appeared at a news conference with actress Doris Day (it was later revealed Hudson was suffering from AIDS). TEN YEARS AGO The United Nations launched a successful military operation to help 222 Indian peacekeepers and eleven military observers break out of a rebel stronghold in Sierra Leone. Lennox Lewis stopped Francois Botha at 2:39 of the second round to retain his WBC and IBF heavyweight titles in London. Former Rhode Island governor and longtime U.S. senator John O. Pastore died at age 93. FIVE YEARS AGO A federal appeals court ruled that a Guantanamo detainee who once was Osama bin Ladenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driver could be tried by military tribunal. (However, the Supreme Court struck down the tribunals in June 2006, saying they violated U.S. and international law.)

Fish hatcheries are safe from state budget cuts By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

GRANTS PASS — New fish habitat projects are on the chopping block, while fish hatcheries are safe from prospective cuts to the upcoming budget for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife budget. The commission overseeing hunting and sport fishing in Oregon meets Friday in Salem to set priorities for cuts to the 2011-13 budget of $311 million. The agency is developing plans for cuts from 5 percent to 25 percent. Four percent of the department’s budget comes from the general fund and 2 percent from lottery funds, with the rest coming from hunting and fishing licenses and federal excise taxes on hunting and fishing gear. That is minimizing the cuts to the agency. Under orders from the governor, the department has drawn up a list ranking 64 programs based on priority, and how much will be cut if there are budget cuts of 5 percent, 15 percent or 25 percent. The lowest priority program is one of the newest. Stream restoration in Western Oregon would

see a 20 percent cut in its $766,695 budget. A program to install fish screens over irrigation canals would lose up to $1.3 million in lottery funds. Cuts of 25 percent would leave the department no longer able to do surveys for nongame species such as the Western meadowlark in Willamette Valley grasslands. The cuts are focused on programs funded with state general fund and lottery money, said department spokesman Roger Fuhrman. Newer programs tend to be cut first. Hatcheries necessary to provide fish that anglers can catch and take home will be maintained. While the Butte Falls Fish Hatchery outside Medford would be permanently shut down if cuts go to 25 percent, it is already in mothballs. Jim Martin, a former state chief of fisheries who now represents sport fishing interests, said anglers depend on hatcheries because so many wild fish, whose numbers are dwindling, have to be released unharmed. The state’s official commitment to wild fish has been met by restrictions on catching and keeping wild fish.

“Those hatcheries are the key to maintaining a fishery for the future,” said Jim Martin, a former state chief of fisheries who now represents sport fishing interests. “If you shut down the fisheries, there’s no license base. And the license base is the only way we’re funding conservation in Oregon now.” Guido Rahr of the Wild Salmon Center said the short-term gains provided by hatcheries create problems over the long term. Scientific studies show clearly that they have been a major reason for the declines that have put so many wild salmon and steelhead on the endangered species list. Hatchery fish are less successful in the wild and compete with wild fish for food and habitat. As climate change makes life tougher for salmon, the genetic resilience of wild fish becomes even more important. Liz Hamilton of the Northwest Sport Fishing Industry Association said a recent report gave Oregon fish hatcheries higher grades than other facilities in the Columbia Basin when it came to adopting modern techniques that cause less harm to wild fish.

PORTLAND — The birth mother of an Oregon boy missing for over a month said she believes the boy’s stepmother planned his disappearance just as the boy was asking to move out of the stepmother’s home. In a Tuesday interview with NBC’s “Today” show, the birth mother, Desiree Young, reiterated her accusation that Kyron Horman’s stepmother was involved in his June 4 disappearance. “Without a doubt, I think it was very planned,” Young said. Terri Horman, Kyron’s stepmother, has not been named as a suspect in the disappearance of 7-year-old Kyron Horman. Before he disappeared, Kyron lived with his stepmother and his birth father in Portland. Desiree Young lives in Medford. “I absolutely believe that Terri Horman is responsible for Ky-

ron’s disappearance,” said Tony Young, Desiree’s husband and a detective with the Medford Police Department. Terri Horman’s attorney, Portland defense lawyer Stephen Houze, did not immediately return calls seeking comment on Wednesday. Terri Horman has become isolated from the family since Kyron’s father, Kaine Horman, filed for divorce and requested a restraining order against her, claiming that he believes she was involved with Kyron’s disappearance. Kaine Horman also said in his request for a restraining order that investigators told him he had been the target of a murder plot by his wife in late 2009. On Tuesday, a judge consolidated the restraining order and divorce into one case. Young has said Terri Horman was supposed to drive Kyron

Brothers’ head-on crash kills 1 The Associated Press PORTLAND — State police say two brothers collided in a head-on crash south of Hood River that left one of the men critically injured and his wife dead. Lt. Pat Ashmore says a tow truck driven by 25-year-old John Arthur Harvey II was southbound on Highway 35 late Tuesday when it struck a

Toyota Corolla driven by his 20-year-old brother, Westun Lee Harvey, of Hood River. The crash critically injured Westun Harvey and killed his wife, 28-year-old Rosario Harvey. Ashmore says it appears both drivers crossed the center line before the collision. State troopers in The Dalles are continuing the investigation.

to Eugene on the day he disappeared to turn him over to her and Tony Young to spend the weekend in Medford. On Tuesday, Young told “Today” she had to work the day of the science fair, and is wracked by guilt that she wasn’t there. “To know that I was four and a half hours away when he needed me to protect him,” Desiree Young said. “The fact that I had to work that day instead of going to the science fair like I wanted to — that I feel guilty for, too.” She said Kyron was unhappy in his father and stepmother’s house, and resisted being returned there. “Kyron became increasingly unhappy about not spending time with me,” Young said. “He wanted to come and live with us. Se++veral times he would just break down and just sob because he wanted to stay.”

MS Unplugged: Real Talk About Treating Your MS

Affidavit: Suspect told cops he suffocated girl, 5 The Associated Press ROSEBURG — Newly released court documents say a 16-yearold boy told detectives he suffocated a 5-year-old Roseburg girl after she awoke to him sexually abusing her. The probable cause affidavit filed by Roseburg police says Dustin Wallace told detectives

he placed his weight on Sahara Dwight, put his hand over her mouth and punched her several times in the stomach to stop her from struggling. He allegedly told detectives he raped her after she stopped moving. Wallace was arraigned Monday on rape and murder charges.

Although the boy is being tried as an adult, he would not face the death penalty because he is under 18. He is being held without bail in the Douglas County Jail. His attorney was out of the office Wednesday and did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Chairwoman Publisher Editor-in-chief Editor of Editorials

Good candidates performing badly

he John Kitzhaber, Chris Dudley gubernatorial matchup has such potential.

Economic conditions have created the perfect environment in which to debate the funding and function of state government. Even Gov. Ted Kulongoski, after practically snoozing through two terms, recognizes the moment, as he demonstrated last month in unveiling the final report of his Reset Cabinet. This is also a great time to debate educational policy. The Obama administration’s Race to the Top competition has stripped away any pretense that Oregon supports serious educational innovation. The state’s application was thumped so soundly by federal reviewers that Gov. Kulongoski decided to pull out. Oregonians should now be watching a fight worthy of the moment between two genuinely compelling candidates, one a well-known and supposedly scrappy newcomer eager to prove he belongs and the other a well-known and supposedly visionary veteran eager to prove he’s still relevant. Instead, we’re getting the worst of both. First, Dudley announced this week that he’ll skip a debate Friday sponsored by the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association. Why would a candidate with so much to prove skip an event that marks the unofficial start of the gubernatorial campaign? Because, he says, he’d planned to vacation with his family, and a commitment is a commitment. We don’t know Dudley’s family, but most reasonable people would understand the need to reschedule a vacation under certain circumstances. Such as, oh, running for governor. By running for cover — er, “going on vacation” — Dudley has chalked up a few dubious achievements. He’s insulted Oregonians, who presumably should support a guy who’d rather go on “vacation” than fight for their votes. He’s made himself look timid because, after all, nobody really buys the vacation excuse anyway. And, finally, he’s amplified what could be his greatest liability, which is the perception — incorrect, we think — that he’s an empty suit. Who but an empty suit, after all, would walk away from the perfect opportunity to demonstrate his substance? Dudley’s campaign reportedly has proposed to debate Kitzhaber only twice, with both events taking place in October. Dudley’s debating skills may not match those of Kitzhaber, whose campaign wants the pair to square off seven times. But meeting even at a disadvantage would demonstrate courage, which is a quality the next governor of Oregon is going to need in spades. If Dudley wants the job, he needs to “vacation” less and debate more. Luckily for him, though, Kitzhaber this week did little to combat what’s likely to be his greatest weakness: a perception that he represents the status quo at a time when Oregon desperately needs change. Kitzhaber this week picked up the endorsement of the Oregon Education Association, which is a decidedly

mixed blessing. The money the endorsement represents will certainly help Kitzhaber’s campaign. But the endorsement itself could be a liability with voters, as the OEA is heavily invested in many of the problems both the Race to the Top contest and Kulongoski’s Reset Cabinet identified. Dudley argues that Kitzhaber did too little during his two terms to address some of these problems, and the OEA’s endorsement suggests he’s the candidate least likely to address them now. Of course, the endorsement is the OEA’s doing, not Kitzhaber’s. His task is to demonstrate that he’s willing to push necessary reforms over the objections of the union that’s likely to contribute generously to his campaign. So how’s he doing? Not particularly well. The OEA explained that it endorsed Kitzhaber, in part, because he recently “affirmed that he opposes merit pay and reiterated his support of collective bargaining at a local, school district level.” Federal reviewers of Oregon’s Race to the Top application faulted the state for failing to hold teachers accountable for the progress students make (or don’t make) under their tutelage. Meanwhile, even Gov. Kulongoski — a longtime supporter of organized labor — argued recently that Oregon should “move to a system of statewide collective bargaining for teachers and school employees.” Is Kitzhaber, as the OEA’s endorsement implies, less interested in reform than not only Chris Dudley, but also President Obama and Ted Kulongoski? It sure looks that way. In the education plan his campaign prepared for the primary election, Kitzhaber wants to have things both ways. On one hand, he wants “districts (to) develop assessments for educators that include student performance indicators such as growth and ability to learn.” So far, so good. But he immediately claims that “this is not socalled ‘merit pay.’ While such data is important for accountability, it should not be tied to increased or decreased pay. And, of course, educators themselves must be at the center of determining these factors and developing such an assessment.” The sum total is meaningless. Assessing teachers according to student performance affects accountability only to the extent that teachers are held accountable, either through pay or other incentives. Not only does Kitzhaber oppose the use of pay as an incentive, but he also believes teachers should develop the tools by which they’re measured. It sounds to us like the OEA picked the right guy. In the end, we don’t know which is worse, the candidate who won’t say anything, at least at a debate, or the candidate who seems to be living in the 1990s. What we do know is that Oregonians deserve better. Chris Dudley needs to show that he’s neither a coward nor an empty suit. John Kitzhaber needs to convince voters that he’s willing to pursue the changes that this state needs.

Why governors like the deficit panel

OSTON — Sometimes you can see events in Washington more clearly when you get out of

town. Before I came here last weekend to cover the annual summer meeting of the National Governors Association, I shared the general Beltway view that the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform is an exercise in futility. After all, it was almost strangled at birth, when a half-dozen Republican senators who had endorsed the idea of a bipartisan panel to tackle the deficit and debt problem reneged and voted against it, only to see President Obama rescue it by executive order. The odds seemed hopelessly stacked against its finding the needed 14 votes among its 18 members in order to send a package to Congress for the promised up-or-down vote in December. But then I heard the commission co-chairmen, Alan Simpson, a former Republican senator from Wyoming, and Erskine Bowles, a former Clinton White House chief of staff, brief the governors for an hour. I shared the reaction of Mike Beebe, the governor of Arkansas, who said, “I don’t know that I ever heard a gloomier picture painted that created more hope for me.” Together, Bowles and Simpson laid out a scenario of a growing gap between the demands on government and its available resources that “is like a cancer,” as Bowles put it. The commission may be a bad joke in Washington, but it was clear that the governors — many struggling already with recession-bred budget crises — take it very seriously. Like Beebe, they found hope in the fact that, however tough the odds, Simpson and Bowles have created an environment in which serious peo-

DAVID BRODER ple are grappling seriously with the biggest domestic challenge facing government. What I learned from them — and several commission members interviewed back in Washington — is that they have pooled their very disparate talents: Simpson, cloaking his blunt cowboy directness in good humor; Bowles, a walking computer of a number-cruncher with the patience and tact of a Southern squire. The trust they have found in each other is increasingly shared among commission members. Republican Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, who is accustomed to the roughhouse tactics of the House, has been welcomed by Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota. Andrew Stern, the feisty former president of the Service Employees International Union, has found common ground with archconservative Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma in wanting to scrutinize Pentagon spending. And David Cote, the chairman of Honeywell International, has impressed Alice Rivlin, the brainy Democratic former director of the Office of Management and Budget, with his insistence on action. Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, a co-sponsor of the bill creating the commission and now a member, told me that many of the Capitol Hill commissioners have been meeting almost weekly, searching for the path forward. Nothing has been negotiated yet,

and all kinds of pitfalls loom, but the outlines of possible future agreements are becoming clear. On nondefense discretionary spending, Obama already has proposed a three-year freeze that could set the pattern for a longer-term compact. Social Security has been studied so thoroughly that commission members say “there are 34 ways” to balance the books, once the political trade-offs are accepted. Health care will be the biggest challenge on the spending side, with some Democrats — and apparently the White House — resigned to the fact that the painfully negotiated 2010 law will have to be reopened to strengthen badly needed cost controls, no matter how awful the prospect of resuming that debate. On revenues, Republican members are “keeping an open mind,” rather than repeating their rote objections to any taxes. Bowles is helping them by suggesting that no taxes increase before 2012, and that ideally, revenues should be raised and spending should be lowered so they balance at no more than 21 percent of the gross domestic product. Also, he suggested that twothirds to three-quarters of the savings should come from the spending side, not new taxes; that tax expenditures (loophole closing) could make a major contribution, as they did in the 1986 deal under Ronald Reagan; and that no value-added tax should be imposed without cutting current levies. Before any decisions are made, an election looms, and then a series of votes testing whether a 14-vote consensus can be found. But contrary to what Washington thinks, there is hope.

Unhappy with Democrats, but not ready for more Republicans

hen the pollster calls and asks whether I think the country is going in the right direction, I will say “no.” When she asks if I approve of the job Congress is doing, I will say “no.” And when she follows up with a question on President Obama’s performance, I will answer: “Sometimes good, sometimes bad. The guy drives me nuts at times.” But when they ask whether I want Republicans to take back Washington, I’ll respond: “Are you out of your mind? We’re still recovering from their last round of debauchery — their fiscal irresponsibility, servility toward Wall Street, disrespect for science, contempt for the environment.” “Thank you, Ms. Harrop. One more question. Are you registered as a Democrat, Republican or independent?” To which, I will respond: “I’m an independent who usually votes for Democrats. I used to help send

the occasional Republican to Washington, back when the party seemed to care more for the country than the least-informed member of its so-called ‘base.’ “Did you hear Mitch McConnell say the other day that ‘there’s no evidence whatsoever that the Bush tax cuts actually diminished revenue’? This is our Senate minority leader spewing absolute ignorance! He must be trying to yank more campaign money out of the fat cats. Or he’s playing to the yahoos who believe they can have big tax cuts, Medicare, wars and balanced budgets all at the same time. “Republicans doubled the national debt under Bush. Perhaps they’d like to triple it the next time. “But now that Democrats are in power, they’re suddenly worried about deficits, which they hope to cure by — give me strength! — permanently cutting taxes even more. “Republicans ran ruinous deficits

FROMA HARROP when the economy was doing well. Now that the economy is depressed, Washington must spend more than it takes in to get the heartbeat going. Even conservative economists agree — certainly the honest. ...” “Gotta go,” interrupts the poll-taker. CLICK. Dear reader, I’m a reasonable woman. I don’t care much about ideology. My bottom line is what’s good for the country. While the country is on a bad path, Republican voodoo is what put us on it.

Surely, many voters agree with me. That’s why these predictions of a Democratic rout in November seem so overwrought. Sure, Democrats will lose seats — but do the voters want a return to the crazy years? The threat of a Republican takeover seems gravest when the Obama administration does stupid things like attack Arizona’s tough immigration law. The law may be misguided, but it does reflect real public frustration with a real problem. Does Obama think it wise right now to use this volatile issue for shoring up support among some Latino voters? Disappointing can’t begin to describe Attorney General Eric Holder’s explanation for suing Arizona. He said that “diverting federal resources away from dangerous aliens such as terrorism suspects and aliens with criminal records will impact the entire country’s safety.” We don’t have the resources to go af-

ter criminals and enforce our labor laws at the same time? Try again, Holder. Still, he’s better than George W. Bush’s first attorney general, John Ashcroft. Shortly after Sept. 11, Ashcroft found the time and resources to go after businesses selling marijuana pipes. When it comes to confidence levels, Republicans always seem to be taking uppers, and Democrats downers. But the pill that Democrats really need is the one that cures the urge to play identity politics. What’s good for the country should be good for everyone in it. That includes Latinos, blacks, whites from Northern Europe, whites from Southern Europe, Asians, Indians, Polynesians. One thing that would be good for the country: More meaningful polling questions.

Resorts Continued from C1 Should the Aspen Lakes provision remain in the ordinance when it’s adopted, he said the Cyruses will remain on the resort zoning map, and have the opportunity to move ahead with their plan to expand their subdivision. Likewise, if the ordinances do not receive enough votes to pass, Aspen Lakes will stay on the destination resort map, along with all the other properties that are now on it. If that happens, Gutowsky said, there’s not much anyone can do to put themselves on the destination resort map because there aren’t any guidelines governing how to do so. One developer that could be affected is Pine Forest Development LLC, which wants to turn 617 acres of land near Sunriver into a destination resort. It needs the county to pass the ordinance that would create the procedure to add it to the new map. “If this ordinance dies,” Gutowsky said, “there’s no process to add or remove land from the county’s destination resort map.” Nick Grube can be reached at 541-633-2160 or at ngrube@bendbulletin.com.

Charles Ivan (C.I.) Rhodes, age 93, went home to his Lord Jesus Christ on July 5, 2010. Ivan was born in Tory, Missouri, to Ras and Emma Rhodes, the fourth of eight children. He lived in rural Missouri, farming with his Dad until the Great Depression. Charles Ivan He worked in Rhodes the CCC program Roosevelt's recovery program - building roads, bridges, parks, and in 1939, he left for California to work. While there, he met and married Florence Holt, a Texan! While in California, they had two children, Jeanie and Chuck. Leaving California, they moved to Texas where Ivan was a cattle rancher and wheat farmer. In 1952, the family decided to move to Dallas, Oregon where Ivan worked for Salem Sand and Gravel as a heavy equipment operator. He eventually opened his own excavation business - which he loved. His friendly nature and outgoing personality became well known - as was his honesty and work ethic. Ivan loved the Lord, his family, people, anything in nature, and every animal created! Ivan was preceded in death by his wife, Florence; his son, Chuck; and his seven siblings. He is survived by his daughter, Jeanie Girod (Cliff); grandchildren, Julie Plummer (Bruce), Chuck Rhodes (Debbie), Chris Rhodes (Tami), Curt Girod (Kathy), Doug Girod (Susan), Eric Girod (Cindy), Liz Popovich (Scott); and 14 greatgrandchildren. Ivan was a skilled farmer, rancher, mechanic, builder, heavy equipment operator, and fisherman. He was a "man's man" who loved the wilderness and took care of God's earth. He was a family man, providing, protecting, and loving each one. He had a ready smile and a twinkle in his eye. We will miss him, but our loss is Heaven's gain! A celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m., Sunday, July 18, 2010, at the First Baptist Church of Independence, Oregon. In lieu of flowers and in loving memory of Ivan, donations may be made to The Gate Youth Association, PO Box 416, Independence, OR 97351. Arrangements by Restlawn Memory Gardens.

‘Blaxploitation’ movie actress Vonetta McGee Los Angeles Times Vonetta McGee, an actress whose big-screen heyday during the “blaxploitation” era of the 1970s included leading roles in “Blacula” and “Shaft in Africa,” has died. She was 65. McGee died Friday at a hospital in Berkeley after experiencing cardiac arrest and being on life support for two days, said family spokeswoman Kelley Nayo. Although McGee had been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 17, Nayo said, her death was not related to the disease. McGee was described as “one of the busiest and most beautiful black actresses” by Los Angeles Times movie reviewer Kevin Thomas in 1972, the year she appeared opposite Fred Williamson in the black action movie “Hammer,” and had starring roles in the crime-drama “Melinda” and the horror film “Blacula.” She went on to appear with Richard Roundtree in “Shaft in Africa” (1973), and co-starred with Max Julien in “Thomasine & Bushrod” (1974). McGee also appeared with Clint Eastwood in the 1975 action-thriller “The Eiger Sanction.” In the ’80s, her career turned primarily to television.

Payments Continued from C1 “We aren’t in that situation, but with 80 percent of our land in Deschutes County being publicly owned, it is a challenge for us as government to collect the taxes we need to address our operations,” Unger said. “Without it, we can’t continue to advance and upgrade our (road) system.” Obama has been silent on the program since taking office. In March 2008, Obama told The Bulletin that he supported extending the program over the long term. “I want to make certain that we have a continuation of support for local communities,” Obama said. “But I think it is important to not do it in a piecemeal, year-byyear fashion, because then local communities can’t do any planning. “What I want to do is gather together the congressional delegation as well as state and local officials to work with (natural resource agencies) and my Cabinet to look at the long term, that ensures preservation of the natural beauty of this wonderful state but takes into account the economic hits the state has taken as a consequence of preservation efforts,” he continued.” Ryan Yates, associate legislative director for the National Association of Counties, said the group is pushing for a 10-year extension of the program. With a big percentage of both houses asking Obama to continue the program, he said the administration should fulfill Obama’s campaign pledge. “This should send a pretty strong message to the administration that this is a critical program for counties and schools,” Yates said.

Vernon Baker, the last living black soldier who belatedly received the Medal of Honor for his role in World War II, died Tuesday at his home near St. Maries, Idaho. He was 90.

Vernon Baker, Medal of Honor recipient, dies By Richard Goldstein New York Times News Service

Vernon Baker, the only living black veteran awarded the Medal of Honor for valor in World War II, receiving it 52 years after he wiped out four German machine gun nests on a hilltop in northern Italy, died Tuesday at his home near St. Maries, Idaho. He was 90. The cause was complications of brain cancer, said Ron Hodge, owner of the Hodge Funeral Home in St. Maries. “I was a soldier and I had a job to do,” Baker said after receiving the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest award for bravery, from President Bill Clinton in a White House ceremony on Jan. 13, 1997. But in the segregated armed forces of World War II, black soldiers were usually confined to jobs in manual labor or supply units. Even when the Army allowed blacks to go into combat, it rarely accorded them the recognition they deserved. Of the 433 Medals of Honor awarded by all branches of the military during the war, not a single one went to any of the 1.2 million blacks in the service.

Climate of racism In the early 1990s, responding to requests from black veterans and a white former captain who had commanded black troops in combat, the Army asked Shaw University, a historically black college in Raleigh, N.C., to investigate why no blacks had received the Medal of Honor during World War II. The inquiry found no documents proving that blacks had been discriminated against in decisions to award the medal but concluded that a climate of racism had prevented recognition of heroic deeds. Military historians gave the Army the names of 10 black servicemen who they believed should have been considered for the Medal of Honor. Then an Army board, looking at their files with all references to race deleted, decided that seven of these men deserved to be cited for bravery “above and beyond the call of duty.” Four of the men — Lt. John R. Fox of Cincinnati; Pfc. Willy F.

Water Continued from C1 The PUC first asserted jurisdiction in 2006. The Attorney General’s Office, which has intervened on behalf of the plaintiffs, asked Judge Gary Williams to make a summary judgement on whether the company was properly formed as a cooperative. “Defendants argue that only the legal entity, Crooked River Ranch Water Company, was dissolved,” Williams wrote in his decision. “However, there was no change of board members at the time of the dissolution. The tax identification number did not change. There was no forfeiture of member equity upon dissolution and conversion to the cooperative. There was no notice to the membership of the former company. There was no vote submitted to the membership regarding dissolution. The board

James Jr. of Kansas City, Mo.; Staff Sgt. Ruben Rivers of Oklahoma City; and Pvt. George Watson of Birmingham, Ala. — had been killed in action. Two others — Staff Sgt. Edward A. Carter Jr. of Los Angeles and Lt. Charles L. Thomas of Detroit, who retired as a major — had died in the decades after the war. Those six received the medal posthumously at the White House ceremony in 1997. Baker, the lone survivor, was greeted with a standing ovation as he entered the East Room to the strains of “God Bless America” played by the Marine Corps Band.

‘Up on the hill’ As Clinton placed the Medal of Honor around his neck, Baker stared into space, a tear rolling down his left cheek. “I was thinking about what was going on up on the hill that day,” he said later. That day was April 5, 1945. Baker, a small man — 5 feet 5 inches and 140 pounds — was leading 25 black infantrymen through a maze of German bunkers and machine gun nests near Viareggio, Italy. Baker observed a telescope pointing out of a slit. Crawling under the opening, he emptied the clip of his M-1 rifle, killing two German soldiers inside. Then he came upon a well-camouflaged machine gun nest whose twoman crew was eating breakfast. He shot and killed both soldiers. After Capt. John F. Runyon, his company commander, who was white, joined the group, a German soldier hurled a grenade that hit Runyon in his helmet but failed to explode. Baker shot the German twice as he tried to flee. He then blasted open the concealed entrance of another dugout with a hand grenade, shot one German soldier who emerged, tossed another grenade into the dugout and entered it, firing his machine gun and killing two more Germans. Enemy machine gun and mortar fire began to inflict heavy casualties and the platoon had to withdraw. Seventeen of the men in the platoon had been killed by time the firefight ended.

of directors continued to operate the cooperative in the same way it had previously operated the former company.” The Crooked River Water Company’s attorney Timothy Gassner declined to comment. “This has kept the PUC from coming in, they have tried several times to regulate the water company,” said Dennis Kirk, a water company member and plaintiff in the lawsuit against the company. The PUC is in the process of deciding how the case will affect it’s next step with the water company. “Our primary goal has been and remains to be providing oversight for the Water Company as the customers requested when they submitted petitions requesting PUC regulation,” wrote Bob Valdez, spokesman for the PUC, in an e-mail.

O B 4 wolf pups spotted in Eastern Oregon PORTLAND — The state Department of Fish and Wildlife says a pack of gray wolves in northeastern Oregon has expanded by at least four pups. A trail camera captured images of the wolf pups in the Imnaha Wildlife Management Unit in Wallowa County. Wolf pups are born in April, with litters averaging four to six pups. ODFW officials say they generally start leaving the den in June. The camera also captured images of six adult wolves, including an alpha female who arrived from Idaho 2½ years ago. The alpha male was not seen. The state recently gave Wildlife Services authority to kill two wolves from the Imnaha pack in hopes of discouraging attacks on livestock. The kill order has been suspended through July while a federal judge considers a request by conservation groups for an injunction.

Portland mayor pushes plastic bag ban PORTLAND — The city of Portland might be a step ahead

of the state when it comes to outlawing disposable plastic bags. Mayor Sam Adams said Wednesday he will have a draft ordinance by the end of the week on a citywide plan to ban plastic grocery bags. State Sens. Mark Hass of Beaverton and Jason Atkinson of Central Point have been working on the effort to ban single-use plastic bags statewide in 2012. But environmentalists urged Portland to take quicker action against the bags, which clog drains and litter beaches. A dozen U.S. cities have already outlawed plastic bags.

State joins lawsuit over pension fund PORTLAND — Oregon has joined a lawsuit against the former mortgage giant Countrywide Financial over pension fund losses. The state said in a press release Wednesday that the Oregon public retirement system lost $29 million after buying $200 million in mortgage-backed securities. The state says that contrary to documents that Countrywide provided, the loans in the investment fund didn’t meet credit and appraisal standards.

State officials said in a press release that the Iowa public pension fund is the lead plaintiff in the suit. It was filed earlier this year in California, where Countrywide had headquarters. Bank of America bought Countrywide in 2008 and changed its name.

Burning house rubble brings fine of $10,000 PORTLAND — It’s not often that someone in a city like Portland decides to set fire to the rubble left behind from tearing down a house. But that’s what Michael Ernst did at a property he owns in southwest Portland. And instead of saving about $1,360 on hauling the rubble off to a landfill, he is looking at a $10,000 fine from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Bryan Smith of DEQ says it is illegal to burn things like treated and painted wood, asphalt shingles and electrical wiring. Smith says the fine would have been even bigger, but there is a limit on violations that occur within a single day. Efforts to reach Ernst were unsuccessful. He has no listed phone number. He has until July

Bomb squad called for briefcase at gas station LAKE OSWEGO — A bomb squad responded and traffic was shut down on a busy suburban Portland road after police say a man left a briefcase at a gas station, said “I’m the Unabomber”

and drove off. Lake Oswego police called for help from the Portland police bomb squad Tuesday afternoon. The bomb squad determined the silver briefcase was filled with papers. Police Lt. Doug Treat says 55year-old Edmund D. Sullivan of Lake Oswego was arrested for investigation of disorderly con-

duct when he returned to the Chevron gas station and an attendant pointed him out to police as the man he’d talked to earlier. Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski is serving a life sentence for killing three people and injuring 23 during a nationwide bombing campaign between 1978 and 1995. — From wire reports

LOCAL GOLF Bend golfer is eliminated from Public Links tourney GREENSBORO, N.C. — Andrew Vijarro’s run ended Wednesday in the first round of the 85th U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship. The Bend golfer was eliminated from the tournament after losing his match to Chase Wilson, of Arden, N.C., by a score of 3 and 2, at Bryan Park Golf & Conference Center. Vijarro, a former Bend High School standout and a junior-to-be at the University of Oregon, struggled in Wednesday’s match, carding five bogeys to just two birdies. The Bend golfer held a one-hole lead through the first five holes. But Wilson, a former High Point (N.C.) University golfer who graduated in 2007, won five of the next eight holes to take a 4-up lead. Vijarro carded a birdie on the par-5 15th hole to close the gap to three holes, but the players halved the 16th hole to end the match. The Pub Links attracts the best amateurs who call a public golf course home. The single-elimination match-play tournament continues today with the round of 32, followed immediately by the round of 16. The 36-hole championship match is scheduled for Saturday. — Bulletin staff report

Taking out the chub Fish biologists are seeking to improve trout fishing on East Lake by trapping the invasive tui chub By Mark Morical

HUNTING & FISHING

The Bulletin

East Lake has long been a destination for anglers looking to catch a variety of fish. The natural lake in the Newberry National Volcanic Monument east of La Pine is home to stocked rainbow trout, brown trout, Atlantic salmon and kokanee. Catching all four species in

one day is sometimes referred to as the “East Lake Slam.” But rarely does an angler accomplish that feat without hooking several tui chub. The invasive species — which has

harmed the rainbow trout fishery by competing with young trout for food sources — has been a problem in the lake for some 70 years, according to Brett Hodgson, a Bend-based fisheries biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Now, the ODFW is doing something about it. See Chub / D6

Horses and jockeys fly down the straightaway during the Crooked River Roundup at the Crook County Fairgrounds in Prineville on Wednesday night. It was the first night of races, which continue through Saturday.

Off to the races Four-night horse racing event begins in Prineville By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

PRINEVILLE — You could call Heather Gerke a race fan. Gerke, 35, has not missed a horse race at the Crooked River Roundup — that’s right, a single race — since 2002. “We’ve come every night, to every race for the last seven years,” Gerke, of Prineville, said Wednesday during the first night of the 2010 CRR horse races at the Crook County Fairgrounds. “Me and my husband have kind of made it our special thing we do every year.” Using a change jar they keep throughout the year, Gerke estimated she and her husband spend about $300 every year during the horse races in Prineville. “The first year we came

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Tom Watson fits like an old shoe now. He is as comfortable in his own skin as we are, seeing him there. He is a story on the day before the British Open not because of what he did in the distant past, but because of what he did last year. He may be 60, but he is current. Wednes- British day at St. Open Andrews was a day of When: Today rain, wind through and chill. Sunday They were TV: Coverage supposed to on ESPN play a special starting at 2 Champions a.m. today Challenge, and Friday a four-hole event that allows past champions who are able to tee it up on the fabled grounds one more time. But this is Scotland, where even tradition and nostalgia can’t trump the weather. And so, when common sense prevailed and a handful of elderly men were spared pneumonia, the day became best suited for a return to a year ago. That’s when Watson, the Huckleberry Finn of our youth, with freckles and that unruly sprig of hair nearly as memorable as his laser-like golf shots, nearly stole a sixth British Open title. Yes, at age 59. With a graying fan base hanging on every shot, 54-hole leader Watson came to the 72nd hole at Turnberry needing only a par to win. See Watson / D4

Bend gets 8-4 win over Kitsap Bulletin staff report Greg Davis was solid on the mound and Kerry Jenkins recorded three hits and two RBIs in Bend’s 8-4 West Coast League victory over Kitsap on Wednesday, snapping the Elks’ twogame losing streak. Davis gave up four runs and scattered nine hits in six innings of work to earn the win. Reliever Mike Lowden picked up the save as he shut out the BlueJackets over the final three innings of the game. Bend (22-9 WCL) went ahead 2-0 in the first inning when Steven Halcomb and Tommy Richards both scored off

an error by Kitsap third baseman Andrew Mistone. Halcomb and Richards struck again in the second inning as the two infielders clubbed back-to-back RBI singles to give the Elks a 4-0 lead. Richards scored later in the inning and Bend held a 5-0 advantage before the BlueJackets had even gone all the way through their lineup. The Elks recorded 12 hits in their victory over Kitsap, a game in which five Bend players had multiple hits. The Elks start a three-game series against the Corvallis Knights today with a special showcase contest in Klamath Falls.

S B Basketball • Blazers interview Thunder exec for GM post: The search for the next general manager of the Portland Trail Blazers continues with a report that Oklahoma City assistant GM Rich Cho has interviewed for the job. Cho started out as an intern with Seattle before moving up to assistant general manager. He stayed with the franchise when it moved to Oklahoma. He is the third person to interview for the job, following former Cleveland GM Danny Ferry and former Miami GM Randy Pfund. The Trail Blazers have not specified a timeline for hiring a general manager. The club fired former GM Kevin Pritchard on the day of the June draft. • Suns get Turkoglu: The Phoenix Suns have acquired forward Hedo Turkoglu in a trade that sends guard Leandro Barbosa and forward Dwayne Jones to Toronto. The deal gives the Suns a third forward in their attempt to replace free agent Amare Stoudemire. Phoenix signed swingman Josh Childress in a sign-and-trade deal with Atlanta earlier Wednesday and picked up Hakim Warrick in similar swap with Chicago. Turkoglu spent one disappointing season in Toronto, averaging 11.3 points after being named the NBA’s most improved player with Orlando the year before. • Miller nears Heat deal: Mike Miller has arrived in Miami and expects to sign a contract with the Heat by today. Miller tells Memphis, Tenn. radio station WHBQ that he and the Heat are “waiting on one thing” but will have a deal done shortly. Miller agreed in principle to a deal late last week, and agent Arn Tellem revealed Monday that the free agent sharpshooter was signing a five-year contract to play alongside LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. The 6-foot-8 Miller shot a career-best 48 percent from threepoint range last season. In 10 NBA seasons, Miller has averaged 13.7 points and 5.1 rebounds. • Leunen plays in Rockets final Summer League game: Redmond High and University of Oregon standout Maarty Leunen recorded four rebounds and one point in 13 minutes of play for the Houston Rockets’ NBA Summer League team on Wednesday in Houston’s 82-75 win against the Denver Nuggets. Coming off the bench, Leunen went zero for four from the field and picked up three fouls and turned the ball over twice at Las Vegas’ Thomas & Mack Center. The Rockets wrapped up the Summer League with a record of 3-2. • Harrington to Denver: Free agent power forward Al Harrington says he’s headed to the Denver Nuggets, who are in dire need of frontcourt help with Kenyon Martin, Chris Andersen and Nene coming off leg injuries. Harrington, a 6-foot-9 forward, averaged 17.7 points and 5.6 rebounds last season for the New York Knicks.

Skiing • Miller submits contract with U.S. Ski Team: Olympic gold medalist Bode Miller may not be ready for retirement just yet. Miller’s return for another season on the slopes appears almost imminent after he signed and submitted his contract to be a member of the U.S. Ski Team. U.S. men’s coach Sasha Rearick told The Associated Press he has chatted with Miller and that the two-time World Cup overall champion is “jazzed up” about skiing. Miller even tried to talk Rearick into an early start to the August training camp in New Zealand. Miller captured gold, silver and bronze at the Vancouver Olympics, bringing his career total to five medals.

Football • Vanderbilt coach steps down: Saying there’s never a good time for a football coach to quit, Bobby Johnson retired abruptly Wednesday as the Vanderbilt Commodores’ head coach. Johnson, 59, called it a very difficult decision but one

not prompted by health concerns for either himself or his wife. He said he began seriously considering retirement a month ago, and he informed Williams in a meeting Monday. Johnson led Vanderbilt the past eight seasons and went 29-66, coaching the Commodores to their only non-losing season since 1982 in 2008.

Baseball • All-Star game earns record-low rating: Major League Baseball’s All-Star game has earned its lowest-ever television rating. The National League’s 3-1 victory Tuesday night on Fox earned a 7.5 fast national rating and 13 share. That’s down 16 percent from the 8.9/15 for last season’s game, a 4-3 win by the AL. The previous low was an 8.1/14 in 2005. Ratings represent the percentage of all households with televisions, and shares represent the percentage of all homes with TVs in use at the time. • Braves, Blue Jays swap shortstops: The NL East-leading Atlanta Braves, looking to bolster their lineup for the second half of the season, acquired Alex Gonzalez in a swap of shortstops that sent Yunel Escobar to Toronto on Wednesday. The Braves also traded left-hander Jo-Jo Reyes to the Blue Jays in the five-player deal while also adding left-handed minor league pitcher Tim Collins and minor league shortstop Tyler Pastornicky. The 33-year-old Gonzalez is hitting .259 with 17 home runs and 50 RBIs. He is tied for fifth in the American League with 43 extra-base hits. Escobar hit .299 with career-best totals of 14 homers and 76 RBIs last season. He has struggled this year, hitting only .238 with no homers and 19 RBIs.

Soccer • Thierry Henry joins MLS: Stop the rumors about French forward Thierry Henry joining the New York Red Bulls. He’s here. The 32-year-old former Arsenal and Barcelona player signed a multiyear contract on Wednesday and he is expected to make his Red Bulls’ debut on July 22 in an exhibition against Premier League club Tottenham. Henry was released by Barcelona last month after scoring just four goals last season. With France, Henry won the World Cup in 1998 and the 2000 European Championship, but sparked outrage last year when his handball during a playoff match helped to deny Ireland a spot at this year’s World Cup. • Spain No. 1 in FIFA rankings, U.S. moves up to 13th: Spain regained the top spot in the FIFA rankings after winning its first World Cup title, and the United States moved up one place to 13th. Spain, which beat the Netherlands 1-0 in overtime on Sunday to add the world title to its European Championship, took over No. 1 from five-time champion Brazil, which had displaced the Spaniards in April. The Netherlands moved up two places to second in rankings released Wednesday, while Brazil fell to third. The U.S., which plays Brazil in an exhibition on Aug. 10 at East Rutherford, N.J., is in its highest position since the Americans were 11th in October 2009. The Americans won their World Cup group for the first time since 1930 before losing to Ghana in the second round. Third-place Germany climbed two places to No. 4 and was followed by Argentina, Uruguay, England, Portugal, Egypt and Chile.

Auto racing • Dallara creates new chassis for IndyCar: The IndyCar Series has decided to go with a Dallara chassis for the 2012 season in a move it hopes will help small-budget teams and generate some fresh buzz for open-wheel racing. The new chassis will cost $349,000 each, officials said Wednesday, with a complete car costing $385,000. That’s a 45 percent price decrease from the current formula. — From wire reports

Who’s going to make moves in the second half?

The Texas Rangers have gotten more than they could have hoped for from the signing of former Angel Vladimir Guerrero.

Cincinnati’s Joey Votto has the Reds atop the National League Central with great offensive numbers in most major categories.

And the award winners are... If they gave out honors for the top performers before the All-Star break, here’s a look at who they might be By Paul Gutierrez McClatchy-Tribune News Service

It is too easy to use the national pastime as some sort of microcosm of society to prove a point in some larger morality play. And yet . . . As Major League Baseball enters the second half of its season, there are just as many cautionary tales of arrivals as career revivals. Of renaissance and returns to normalcy. Of un-

derdogs scratching and clawing their way to the top and the well-heeled re-assuming their mantles of supremacy. In other words, baseball is again mirroring the real world, albeit in a back-to-the-future kind of way. Not only will $200 million buy you a World Series, it can get you the best record in baseball the next (half)season while putting you on pace for 104 victories.

And yet, a team with less than a fifth of that payroll entered last weekend with the best record in the National League. Individually, a potential Hall of Famer on his seeming last legs last season rediscovered his game-changing swing and is en route to joining Don Baylor in 1979 as the only designated hitter to win an MVP. Meanwhile, a National League Cy Young Award candidate is threatening to become the first pitcher to win 30 games since 1968, the last “Year of the Pitcher.” What’s that about the more things change the more they stay the same? My midseason baseball awards, then, with appropriate statistics (All stats entering Thursday’s games):

American League

National League

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Vladimir Guerrero, Texas Rangers DH Key stats: .319 average, 20 HRs, 75 RBIs. Two to consider: New York Yankees 2B Robinson Cano (.351 road average), Detroit Tigers 1B Miguel Cabrera (77 RBI). Spring training pick: Yankees 1B Mark Teixeira. The skinny: You could say Guerrero’s teammate Josh Hamilton is having a better statistical season, plus, he plays the field. But while Hamilton has been a constant in the Metroplex, it is Guerrero’s arrival and personal revival that have sparked the Rangers to the top of the A.L. West. Call it a similar intangible but Guerrero did the same thing in Anaheim in 2004, leading the Angels to a division crown after arriving as a free agent from Montreal. Oh yes, he was the league MVP that season. And while Cano is having a breakout season for the defending champs, he has too much help with a $205-million payroll. Cabrera, meanwhile, has matured and is a threat to win the A.L.’s first Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Joey Votto, Cincinnati Reds 1B Key stats: .315 average, 22 HRs, 60 RBI. Two to consider: San Diego Padres 1B Adrian Gonzalez (.538 slugging), Atlanta Braves 2B Martin Prado (.332). Spring training pick: Colorado Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki. The skinny: His manager said he was “a bad dude” in a league full of “bad dudes” at his position. No wonder Votto was lost in the shuffle and was the biggest snub for the All-Star Game before sanity prevailed thanks to the final fan vote. No player has meant more to his team’s success in the league than the left-handed hitting Votto, who led the N.L. in OPS (1.014) and on-base percentage (.421), was tied for first in homers and slugging percentage (.593), third in runs scored (59) and was fourth in total bases (179) and walks (53). Votto has also played a Gold Glove-level first base with a .997 fielding percentage. Guys that do it for playoff-caliber teams earn extra credit since they are, inevitably, more valuable.

CY YOUNG AWARD: David Price, Tampa Bay Rays LHP Key stats: 12-4, 2.42 ERA. Two to consider: Boston Red Sox left-hander Jon Lester (2.78 ERA), Los Angeles Angels righthander Jered Weaver (137 Ks). Spring training pick: Seattle Mariners RHP Felix Hernandez. The skinny: It really is a toss-up but the left-handed Price, leading the league in victories in his first full season, gets the nod for now. Mostly because he is 6-0 against his own division to keep the Rays in the wild card lead. Opponents were batting a league-low .203 against Lester and Weaver entered the break leading the majors in strikeouts.

CY YOUNG AWARD: Ubaldo Jimenez, Colorado Rockies RHP Key stats: 15-1, 2.20 ERA. Two to consider: Florida Marlins RHP Josh Johnson (1.70 ERA), Philadelphia Phillies RHP Roy Halladay (1.05 WHIP). Spring training pick: Giants RHP Matt Cain. The skinny: This used to be the playground of two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum. But Jimenez is the owner of some of the filthiest “stuff” this side of Doc Gooden, and has already won as many games this season as he did in all of 2009, despite a rough patch in which he gave up 17 earned runs over three starts. He also has a no-hitter already this season.

Tampa Bay’s David Price

Detroit’s Brennan Boesch

Texas manager Ron Washington

BEST ROOKIE: Brennan Boesch, Detroit Tigers LF Key stats: .345, 12 HRs, 49 RBI. Two to consider: Tigers CF Austin Jackson (14 stolen bases), Cleveland Indians RHP Mitch Talbot (8-8). Spring training pick: Baltimore Orioles LHP Brian Matusz. The skinny: The AL Central has become a haven for rookies, especially in Detroit’s outfield. Boesch, who played college ball at Cal, is leading league rookies in the triple-crown categories while Jackson is a Tigers catalyst. The youngsters have not only rejuvenated Detroit’s old-school manager, Jim Leyland, but have jump-started the Tigers after last season’s epic fold. BEST MANAGER: Ron Washington, Texas Rangers Two to consider: White Sox’s Ozzie Guillen, Detroit Tigers’ Jim Leyland. Spring training pick: Minnesota Twins’ Ron Gardenhire. The skinny: The spring training revelation that Washington failed a drug test the previous July for cocaine seemed a death knell to his career. He had offered to resign at the time but Rangers President Nolan Ryan stuck by him and the team has rallied around him, both on and off the field. Ryan has provided a more well-rounded roster than previous seasons and Washington’s touch has them surprisingly leading the AL West.

Colorado’s Ubaldo Jimenez

BEST ROOKIE: Jason Heyward, Atlanta Braves RF Key stats: .251, 11 HRs, 45 RBI. Two to consider: Washington Nationals RHP Stephen Strasburg (1.01 WHIP), Giants C/1B Buster Posey (.350). Spring training pick: Heyward The skinny: Heyward made an immediate impact, homering in his first big-league at-bat, but he has an injured left thumb that has slowed him. Strasburg has made only seven starts since being promoted in early June but is the real deal. So is Posey, who is leading NL rookies in batting.

When Oakland outfielder Rajai Davis heard the Texas Rangers had acquired Cliff Lee from Seattle late last month, he reacted the same way as many others around baseball did. “They’re trying to make a real run, huh?” Davis said. “They’re not playing around.” The Rangers may be in the middle of a messy ownership change that includes a rancorous bankruptcy proceeding, but that didn’t stop them from making the first major splash before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. Texas added Lee to a team that will carry a 4½-game lead in the AL West into the second half of the season, which begins Thursday. The Rangers are looking for their first playoff appearance since 1999, and adding Lee to a formidable offense lets everyone know they’re serious. Lee was 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in five postseason starts last year for the Phillies. But more importantly, he was 2-0 against the mighty New York Yankees in the World Series. So who will be the next team to make a move? The Los Angeles Angels are looking to add a big bat to stay in contention with Texas, and the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox have similar designs. “The probability of big guys moving at the deadline is always a risky proposition to try to handicap,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “Things can change from week to week.” One thing we do know is that the winner of the National League pennant will have homefield advantage for the World Series, after the NL beat the American League 3-1 on Tuesday night for its first victory in the All-Star game since 1996. With tight races everywhere and the powerful Yankees playing for something bigger than just another title, buckle up for what is shaping to be a wild ride over the next few months. Here’s a look at some of the keys to the rest of the season:

Motivated Yankees The Yankees steamrolled into the All-Star break with 30 victories in their final 44 games, looking every bit the favorite that they usually are. The defending world champions may not even need to make a move after getting all the extra motivation they needed when longtime owner George Steinbrenner died this week. Alex Rodriguez shared a story about a handwritten note Steinbrenner had delivered to him in 2004 that read “I’m counting on you” with capital letters and exclamation point. “So I think to this day, we are still playing for him, not to let him down,” A-Rod said.

Tight races No team is running away with anything right now. The biggest lead in any division is the Rangers’ 4½ games over the Angels in the AL West. A few of the more intriguing races: • AL East: Arguably the three best teams in baseball — the Yankees (56-32), Rays (5434) and Red Sox (51-37) — are fighting for the title and likely the AL wild card. The Atlanta Braves (52-36) are only other team in baseball with a better record than third-place Boston.

• NL West: Can Mat Latos, Heath Bell and the remarkably successful San Diego Padres make their 2-game lead over the Rockies and Dodgers stand up for another few months? • NL Central: The Cincinnati Reds (49-41) have been the other big surprise, one game in front of star-studded St. Louis at the break.

Key injuries They always play a big part in who makes it in and who falls short in the playoff race. This year, several teams have been ravaged, including: • Boston Red Sox: RHP Clay Buchholz, C Victor Martinez, 2B Dustin Pedroia (fractured left foot), OF Jacoby Ellsbury (broken ribs), C Jason Varitek (fractured right foot), 3B Mike Lowell (right hip) and RHP Josh Beckett (back) have all missed significant time. Yet the Red Sox still only trail the Yankees by 5 games in the AL East. • Philadelphia Phillies: The two-time defending NL champs, and the 2008 World Series champs, are off to a slower start this year after injuries to 2B Chase Utley (right thumb), LHP J.A. Happ (left forearm) and 3B Placido Polanco (left elbow). Utley isn’t expected back anytime soon and key relievers Ryan Madson and Chad Durbin have also been hurt. • New York Mets: SS Jose Reyes aggravated his sore right side and missed the All-Star game, but CF Carlos Beltran is set to make his season debut Thursday after right knee surgery. • Minnesota Twins: 1B Justin Morneau (concussion) has been out a week, SS J.J. Hardy and 2B Orlando Hudson have made trips to the DL and C Joe Mauer’s shoulder is hurting for the stumbling Twins, who have fallen to third place in the AL Central.

Young guns It’s not just the year of the pitcher, it’s the year of the young pitcher. “It seemed like 15 years ago, it was a time of young shortstops, and other times, it seems there’s an influx of great, young talent in outfielders,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “But right now the influx of young pitching in baseball is incredible, and not just guys with stuff; guys that know how to pitch in tough division series at a young age.” Can these young guns hold up through hot pennant races? • Tampa Bay Rays: David Price (24) started the All-Star game and Matt Garza (26) was the MVP of the ALCS two years ago. James Shields (28), Jeff Niemann (27) and Wade Davis (24) give the second-place Rays a battle-tested young staff. • Ubaldo Jimenez, RHP, Rockies: The 26-year-old Dominican is chasing history at 15-1 at the break, and he has the Rockies two games back of San Diego in second place in the NL West. • Cincinnati Reds: RHPs Johnny Cueto (24) and Mike Leake (22) were a combined 143 at the break, and LHP Travis Wood (23) nearly tossed a perfect game last Saturday against Philadelphia. • Stephen Strasburg, RHP, Nationals: The Nationals may be out of it, but it’s going to be great fun watching how MLB’s newest rock star responds to all the attention that has turned each of the rookie’s starts into an event.

Atlanta’s Jason Heyward

San Diego manager Bud Black

BEST MANAGER: Bud Black, San Diego Padres Two to consider: Cincinnati Reds’ Dusty Baker, Atlanta Braves’ Bobby Cox. Spring training pick: Baker. The skinny: The no-name Padres were supposed to be one of the worst teams in baseball and thus, full-fledged sellers by now. Instead, Black had guided the team with the second-lowest payroll in baseball ($40 million) to the best record in the league for most of the season. Will they fall back to the pack? Probably. But with a pitching guru in Black at the helm, pitching will remain the Padres’ strength.

Seve skips British Open at St. Andrews, but his spirit is there JIM LITKE ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — sand wedge and a pair of worn white golf shoes stuck inside a glass museum case are all anyone will see of Seve Ballesteros this week at the British Open. What a shame. Ballesteros hoped to be on hand at the Old Course for a four-hole exhibition of past champions commemorating the 150th anniversary of the game’s oldest major. But his recovery from a brain tumor that nearly killed him has kept Europe’s most influential golfer ever close by the fishing village where he first learned to play the game, along Spain’s wind-swept northern coast. Howling gusts and sideways rain forced cancellation of Wednesday’s exhibition, but did little to dim the memories of the man or his momentous win here in 1984. Ballesteros sent a video that was played at a dinner inside the Royal and Ancient clubhouse at St. Andrew for his former fellow champions. Not long after it ended, they voted to donate the 50,000 pounds ($76,394 USD) in prize money to the Seve Ballesteros Foundation, established for brain tumor research. “He said, “I wish I could be there. I wish I had the energy to be there,” and he wished us all the best of luck,” said five-time Open champion Tom Watson, who finished two shots behind Ballesteros, tied for second, in 1984. “It was sad. It was sad to see him,” Watson added. “He’s obviously struggling at this point, and it’s sad to see that.” Ballesteros’ most recent interview took place at his home with Golf Digest’s Jaime Diaz, who imagined the Spaniard’s opening tee shot on the game’s most storied stage as “golf’s version of Muhammad Ali lighting the Olympic torch at the 1996 Summer Games.” Like Ali, Ballesteros’ flamboyance and his fierce independence rubbed some of the people in authority the wrong way. And like Arnold Palmer, he was a crowd favorite nearly everywhere he went, though few galleries anywhere loved him more than the Scots. When his 15-foot birdie putt at the final hole dropped languidly into cup in that 1984 win, a roar erupted that shivered up and down the coast. Back in the United States, a promising young golfer named Stewart Cink was watching on TV.

Continued from D1 With the help of Gerke and the approximately 2,000 spectators during the Roundup’s opening night, CRR promotions director Bryan Iverson said Wednesday’s turnout more than exceeded expectations. “We’ve got around 2,000 people here and the handle (money wagered) for the first two races is up 26 percent from last year,” Iverson said. “It’s only Wednesday, but we’re cautiously optimistic.” Beautiful weather — temperatures hovered around 70 degrees at dusk — and full racing fields were the two main factors in such a strong first night, according to Iverson. “The weather’s cooperating and that makes all the difference in the world,” Iverson said. “And we’ve got full fields. We have seven or eight horses in every race.” Of course, the ponies were not the only draw Wednesday night, which was also Ladies Night at the fairgrounds, in which all female spectators received free admission. “The hell with the horses,” joked 60-year-old Gary Millen of Powell Butte. “We’re here for the ladies.” Millen and his buddy Rob McLean, of Paulina, were not too worried about how their bets turned out. “You win some money and you drink some beer,” McLean, 52, said about the key to a good night. “And then you find somebody to drive you home.” The Crooked River Roundup horse races continue today. The gates open at 6 and the races start at 7:15 p.m. Beau Eastes can be reached at 541-383-0305 or at beastes@ bendbulletin.com.

New Orleans QB Brees wins four ESPY Awards By Beth Harris

Pari-mutuel betting at the Crooked River Roundup, which is regulated by the Oregon Racing Commission, is a betting system in which all bets are pooled together. Taxes and the house (in this case, the Crooked River Roundup) take their cut, and the remaining money is shared by the winning bets. Pari-mutuel betting is different from fixed-odds betting in that a winner’s take is not determined until the betting pool is closed. For example, if you put $1 on the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl at the beginning of the season with 100/1 odds, and the Chiefs went on to win the Super Bowl, you would win $100. It wouldn’t matter if millions of other bettors at the casino where you placed your bet picked the Chiefs as well. In pari-mutuel betting, bettors with winning bets don’t know how much their win is worth until after the pool is closed. You may pick the winning horse, but if everyone else did likewise, your share is likely to be fairly small. For example, say a total of $100 was wagered on the first race of the night and 50 bettors wagered on the horse Jayhawk to win. If Jayhawk won, say roughly $15 is taken out by the house, leaving $85 to be split among the 50 bettors who wagered on Jayhawk, giving each person holding a winning ticket $1.70. Say later in the night $100 total is wagered on the last race, with five bettors wagering on the horse Manning to win. If Manning wins, those five bettors would split the $85 — again, with the house taking its share — giving each winning ticket $17. And these are just examples of bets involving only the winner of each race. At the Crooked River Roundup, gamblers may place bets on which horse takes first (win), second (place), or third (show). Exacta bets (picking the two horses that finish first and second, in order), quinella bets (picking the two horses that finish first and second but not necessarily in order), and trifecta bets (picking the horses that finish first, second and third, in order) are also popular.

Patrick is humbled by her struggles in stock cars

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Drew Brees was the big winner at the ESPY Awards, collecting four trophies, including male athlete of the year on Wednesday night. The New Orleans Saints quarterback also won best championship performance, NFL player and shared the team award with his Super Bowl champion colleagues. “It’s hard to beat the Lakers in L.A.,” Saints coach Sean Payton said, hoisting the silver team trophy. Brees was chosen male athlete over Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Jimmie Johnson and Albert Pujols. All but James picked up trophies in other categories. “I’d also like to thank the Who Dat nation,” Brees said. “We love you.” Gold medal-winning skier Lindsey Vonn won female athlete of the year honors during the show hosted by “Saturday Night Live” comic Seth Meyers that aired live on ESPN from the Nokia Theatre. She beat out Serena Williams and basketball players Maya Moore of Connecticut and Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury. “This is coming from the fans,” Vonn said backstage. “It’s not basketball, tennis or golf. It’s not as highly viewed as other sports. To win is a lot more than I expected.” Vonn was also chosen best female Olympian. Landon Donovan of the U.S. national soccer team picked up three trophies, for best moment in a World Cup game against Algeria, best MLS player and the performance under pressure award. Phil Mickelson ended Tiger Woods’ five-year run as best male golfer, denying Woods a record 23rd career ESPY. Meyers worked some jokes about Woods’ sex scandal into his monologue. “We all know which free agent is making the most money this summer — Elin Nordegren,” he said, referring to the golfer’s estranged wife. “Everyone, give it up for Tiger Woods, if you haven’t already,” Meyers said, drawing one of his biggest laughs. Phil Jackson of the two-time defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers was named best coach, while Bryant won best NBA player. James was booed when a montage of male athlete nominees was shown. He didn’t attend the 18th annual awards. Meyers zinged James’ decision to leave Cleveland as a free agent and sign with the Miami Heat. “Did it really need to be an hour?” Meyers said. “Somebody time me. Miami. How long did that take? A second.” Meyers closed the show by saying, “Stay tuned to ESPN for an encore presentation of LeBron James’ ‘The Decision.’”

Watson Continued from D1 He hit a perfect-looking iron to the green, and saw it all slip away as the ball rolled off the green. Watson took a bogey and lost badly in the playoff to Stewart Cink, an American journeyman. So much bad could have happened after that. Watson could have been devastated, could have disappeared in a flurry of sub-par golf on both the regular and Champions Tour. Cink could have carried a chip on his shoulder because few outside his immediate family had wanted him to win. Neither was the case. Watson has continued to play like he has discovered Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth, staying in the title hunt late into both the Masters and the U.S. Open this year. And Cink has made himself an attractive figure by handling a tough situation like an adult, a rarity in sports. With the weather outside frightful, both Watson and Cink came to chat and were delightful. Watson said his form isn’t great coming into his seventh British Open at St. Andrews and, incredibly, his 33rd overall. But he said he will give it a good try and that, “other than an artificial hip, that I’m stiffer and I can’t hit the ball as far,” his game is about the same as always. He smiled. No psyche job or a con attempt for competitive reasons here. Self-effacing humor is best achieved by those comfortable with the self they are humoring. Watson said he was gratified

“Our playing careers never crossed, but what I remember, what I’ll always remember about Seve,” Cink recalled Wednesday, “was the way he thrust his fist into the air and then turned to the crowd in just about every direction and did it again and again. “I’m not sure people back home ever really appreciated how good he was,” Cink, the defending champion, added a moment later. “His English was only so-so ... but even his game seemed like a foreign language. You’d see him hit all those incredible shots, but because the courses over here look brown and bumpy on TV, a lot of people just thought, ‘That’s the kind of stuff you do at a muni.’ He shook his head slowly, then let out a low whistle. “They have no idea,” Cink finally said. Despite winning two Masters to go with his three Opens and almost single-handedly igniting the game on the continent — similar to the way Palmer popularized golf in America — Ballesteros never received his due back in the U.S. Yet it wasn’t just the language barrier, or even the way his charisma and all those remarkable recovery shots — including one from a parking lot — got lost in translation. Much of what put off Americans, no doubt, was simply Ballesteros’ competitiveness and over-the-top delight at punishing the U.S. squad in several Ryder Cups. “That only made him more of a hero to us,” countryman Miguel Angel Jimenez said. “There were so few models for many of us when we began playing, but it was not just his swing. It was how he walked, like a leader all the time, how he never lost his fighting spirit, no matter how much trouble he was in. “It was so many things,” he added. “So many.” Jimenez said the last time the two spoke was two months ago. Asked how Ballesteros seemed at the time, he raised both arms in a gesture that seemed to say, “Who knows?” Palmer, too, has been in touch. “I sent Seve a note,” he said, “wished him well and invited him to come, if he ever felt good enough, to the States and play.” Tucked in with the letter was a photograph of Palmer’s dog, Mulligan. It made Ballesteros’ day. “Because the doctors saved my life, they say now I use my mulligan,” Ballesteros told Golf Digest with a chuckle. “So Palmer’s picture says, ‘Here’s a Mulligan for you.’ ” Jim Litke is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press. Write to him at jlitke@ ap.org.

by last year because “people our age...come up to me and say, ‘Tom, that was wonderful.’ ” He was also gratified because young people approach him and say the same thing. Before that, he said, they would say, “My grandmother just loves you.” He admitted that success in this tournament, following good runs at Augusta and Pebble Beach, would be “a great triumvirate,” and said that last year’s near miss has not had a longterm impact on his life. “It tore my guts up,” he said, “but my guts have been torn up before in this game.” Watson said he has lost tournaments he should have won, and won some he had no business winning. Asked about Cink and last year, he said, “I’ve always liked Stewart and the way he is, the way he handles himself.” Cink handled his part of the look-back with similar tone. He said he had no frustration about Watson getting all the attention last year, despite him winning. “If I hadn’t won the tournament last year in that way, with Tom involved,” Cink said, “it wouldn’t have been such a special event.” For practice rounds, a player of Watson’s stature pretty much has his pick of partners. Watson practiced with Cink on Tuesday. It was a warm, sunny day, a good time for relaxed preparation as well as for solidifying relationships. Shortly after noon, they teed off on No. 18, headed down the massive fairway and stopped to pose for photos as they crossed the 700-year-old Swilcan Bridge. They were two golfers, historically joined at the hip. Or, in Watson’s case, at the artificial hip.

CYCLING: TOUR DE FRANCE

FISHING REPORT

Bass fishing picks up on Lake Billy Chinook Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

CENTRAL ZONE ANTELOPE FLAT RESERVOIR: Antelope Flat Reservoir has been stocked twice with catchable rainbow trout and fishing is good. These fish will be able to take advantage of an ample food supply and should grow quickly. CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR: Trout fishing at Crane Prairie continues to be excellent. A number of large (5-6 pounds) trout are being caught, as well as a lots of smaller fish. Anglers should target the channel areas. CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Creel surveys have shown excellent fishing throughout the day. Flows are currently hovering around 250 cfs and should remain steady with dry weather. CULTUS LAKE: There have been some good reports of nice rainbow trout and lake trout being harvested from Cultus over the last several weeks. Bas Czerwinski / The Associated Press

The pack speeds down Noyer pass during the 10th stage of the Tour de France on Wednesday.

RadioShack’s Paulinho wins 10th stage By Jamey Keaten The Associated Press

GAP, France — Something finally went right for Lance Armstrong’s squad at the Tour de France. Team RadioShack got its first taste of success at this year’s Tour when Sergio Paulinho of Portugal captured the 10th stage Wednesday, narrowly winning a two-man sprint among breakaway riders. Andy Schleck of Luxembourg retained the yellow jersey. He finished in the main pack more than 14 minutes back, alongside his biggest rivals for the title. Paulinho edged Vasil Kiryienka of Belarus over the sun-baked 111-mile trek from Chambery to Gap that featured one difficult climb — the Laffrey pass — as the race left the Alps. Paulinho pointed skyward

then sucked his thumb in honor of his 8-month-old daughter after beating Kiryienka by less than half a wheel. They both clocked 5 hours, 10 minutes, 56 seconds. Belgium’s Dries Devenyns was third: 1:29 behind. “This is a victory we’ve been looking for a while, after all the bad luck we had in the first week,” Paulinho said. “I hope this victory gives morale back to our team.” It was the Portuguese rider’s first individual stage win at the Tour, though he was part of the Astana squad — including Lance Armstrong and 2010 Tour winner Alberto Contador — that won the team time-trial last year. Armstrong brought Paulinho and several other former Astana teammates to the RadioShack team, which was formed around

the seven-time champion last year. Armstrong fell out of contention in the first alpine stage on Sunday after getting tangled up in three crashes and losing crucial minutes against the top contenders. The team is now banking on the podium hopes of Levi Leipheimer, who is sixth overall. The 30-year-old Paulinho and Kiryienka, of Caisse d’Epargne, were part of a six-man breakaway made up of riders far back in the overall standings. The pack finished 14:19 behind Paulinho. Paulinho and Kiryienka were part of a breakaway that took off around the 23-mile mark, and the pack didn’t give chase. Even the winners clocked an average of 21 mph during the stage — a relative snail’s pace at

the Tour. The overall standings didn’t change. Schleck leads Contador by 41 seconds, while Samuel Sanchez of Spain was third, 2:45 back. Leipheimer is 3:59 behind. It was the 25-year-old Schleck’s first day in yellow, and he said he noticed greater fan support on the side of the roads of southeastern France during his ride in the coveted shirt. “My name was on some of the signs. It’s nice to see that,” he said, referring to handmade banners unfurled by spectators. “I’m getting popular even here in France.” Riders are likely to breathe a bit easier during today’s 11th stage, a mostly flat 114.65-mile route from Sisteron to Bourg-lesValence that has one midgrade climb.

Armstrong distances himself from doping inquiry By Juliet Macur New York Times News Service

CHAMBERY, France — Lance Armstrong, a focus of a federal investigation into possible fraud and doping on the now-defunct U.S. Postal Service cycling team, distanced himself from that investigation Wednesday, saying that he was just a rider for the team and had no knowledge of what went on within its management. “The most glaring thing is the misconception that I was the owner of the team,” Armstrong said before Stage 10 of the Tour de France, in which he was in 31st place overall. “That’s completely untrue. No ownership, none at all.” Armstrong, a seven-time winner of the Tour, said he did not know the people who issued his paychecks when the team was sponsored by the Postal Service through 2004, only that they were signed by the company

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, during this year’s race in France. that owned the team, Tailwind Sports. He said he had “absolutely” no knowledge of how Tailwind used its funding dur-

ing that time. Armstrong did gain an 11.5 percent interest in Tailwind sometime after the 2004 Tour, according to testimony in a lawsuit that Armstrong and Tailwind brought against SCA Promotions, an insurance company that was seeking to withhold a bonus from Armstrong because of doping allegations. In testimony related to that lawsuit, Armstrong’s agent, Bill Stapleton, said Armstrong was formally granted the interest in the team sometime around the fall of 2004. The Postal Service’s contract ran from 1996 through the end of 2004. The Discovery Channel became the team’s main sponsor in January 2005. Federal authorities investigating possible fraud and doping charges against Armstrong and some of his associates connected to the Postal Service team recently issued grand jury subpoenas

to witnesses, according to several people briefed on the case. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to be identified discussing a federal investigation. Armstrong said Wednesday that he had not spoken with federal investigators, nor had he received a subpoena. Armstrong’s current RadioShack team manager, former Belgian rider Johan Bruyneel, helped Armstrong win his seven Tours — including the ones he won while on the Postal Service team. He is among the team officials and riders implicated in allegations by Floyd Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour title for doping. Landis recently said that riders and officials on the Postal Service team had doped or encouraged doping while he was on the team in the early 2000s. Bruyneel said last week that the Landis allegations were false.

Union disputes NBA’s figures, prepares for lockout By Brian Mahoney The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Insisting that the NBA’s financial projections “strain credulity,” players’ association executive director Billy Hunter said Wednesday he’s seen nothing to change his belief that a lockout is possible. Hunter disputes commissioner David Stern’s forecast of nearly $400 million in losses this season, countering that the league’s basketball-related revenues increased to their highest point ever in 2009-10. “Our position is that David is mistaken,” Hunter told The Associated Press, adding he believes things are “much, much better than they maintain.” The league’s collective bargaining agreement expires next summer. The sides have started negotiations toward a new one but remain far apart, creating fears of the first work stoppage since 1998-99. “I’m preparing for a lockout right now and I haven’t seen

NBA anything to change that notion. Hopefully I’ll see something over the next several months,” Hunter said. “As of this moment, it’s full speed ahead for me in preparing the players for a worst-case scenario.” Stern predicted the $400 million loss during the All-Star weekend in February, amending it to about $370 during a press conference Monday in Las Vegas following a meeting of the league’s board of governors. The union was alerted to that projection last summer, but Hunter contends revenues turned out to be much higher than anticipated — though deputy commissioner Adam Silver said expenses were up, too. “Part of the problem with the existing system is it’s based largely on revenue, not net revenue,” Silver said Monday. “Although our actual revenue numbers were better than what

we projected, it came at a large cost. Our teams did a spectacular job in a down economy of increasing ticket sales, but that came at the cost of additional promotions, additional marketing, additional staff.” Hunter was already wary of the league’s projections after it warned its teams last July that next season’s salary cap could fall as low as $50.4 million. It was set last week at $58.0 million, even higher than this season’s. “Clearly it causes us some concern, causes us to question their numbers,” Hunter said. Hunter said the players will offer their interpretations of the league’s finances at the next bargaining meeting. He said he hasn’t heard anything from the league since the union submitted its proposal for a CBA earlier this month. Stern said that proposal basically embraced the current system, but the league believes changes are necessary and the teams that spent freely dur-

ing free agency did so because it was the only way they could win. Hunter disagrees, saying owners want a system where they can spend and “receive guaranteed profits unlike any other industry in America.” Stern also said the higherthan-expected cap didn’t mean things were better than they were a year ago, but Hunter points to huge increases in season ticket sales in New York, New Jersey, Chicago and Charlotte as proof otherwise. And since he said player salaries were down by about 1 percent this season, he still maintains the best way for the owners to get the help they need is from each other. The union is calling for expanded revenue sharing among teams, with Hunter noting that a group of small-market owners recommended it to Stern a couple of years ago. Stern has said it will come after the agreement with the players, but Hunter said it should come as part of the deal.

DAVIS LAKE: Fishing for largemouth bass has been decent if you can hit the water on a non-windy day. Best bass fishing is early or late in the day. No recent reports on the trout fishing. Please note this is a fly-fishing only lake. Please check your synopsis for the regulations for this water body. DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the Northern Boundary of the Warm Springs Reservation): The Deschutes River is open to angling for steelhead and trout from the mouth upstream to

Pelton Dam (river mile 100). Spring flows are subsiding to normal summer flows. Deschutes anglers should start gearing up for the next run of summer steelhead. Early counts on the Columbia River dams appear to be good. Fishing should start to pick up in the Deschutes by mid-July. EAST LAKE: Recent reports are that trout fishing is starting to pick up. FALL RIVER: Fishing has been good. Nymphs have been particularly effective, but fish also are taking attractor dry-fly patterns. LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Smallmouth bass fishing is starting to pick up in the reservoir. LOST LAKE: Lost Lake has been stocked with lots of rainbow trout and has a few resident brown trout. Lost is a great place to troll around in a small boat or fish from the bank. METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Look for a golden stone hatch on the upper river, with pale morning duns and caddis hatches throughout the river. OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Anglers are reporting improved fishing over past years. Opportunities for 12- to 20-inch rainbow trout should improve with the warmer weather. ODELL LAKE: The kokanee have gone a bit deeper but are still being caught in good numbers. Please note that all bull trout must be released unharmed. TAYLOR LAKE: Should offer anglers a good opportunity to catch bass and bluegill. It’s also a great place to catch carp on the fly rod. THREE CREEKS LAKE: This small lake near Sisters was stocked in late June and fishing has been very good for both stocked and holdover fish.

Some try to preserve Midwest trout ‘mecca’ By Paul A. Smith McClatchy-Tribune News Service

MILWAUKEE — ome anglers keep secret their favorite fishing holes. John “Duke” Welter of Eau Claire, Wis., lists his top trout spots to anyone who will listen: “Rattlesnake Creek, Poison Ivy River, Nettlesome Crick, Mosquito Fork and By Golly Branch.” He has more, some 3,000 miles worth. The names might not match those on conventional maps. But they are all accessible to the public. All are within the Driftless Area that includes southwestern Wisconsin. And thanks to habitat improvement efforts and restoration projects over the last couple decades, virtually all offer higher trout populations today than at any time in the last century. “The Driftless is a national treasure,” said Welter, speaking in Rochester, Minn., along the western fringe of the Driftless Area, at the June annual meeting of the Outdoor Writers Association of America. “And cold-water streams are at the heart of it.” The Driftless Area is a 24,000square-mile area in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota that was missed by the last glacier to pass through the Midwest. It gets its name because it lacks the “drift” or “leavings” typical of a receding glacier. This land that wasn’t crushed by the last Ice Age is now characterized by 200-foot-high limestone bluffs above stream-lined valleys. In Wisconsin, the area stretches west from Madison to the Mississippi River and as far north as Eau Claire. The coulees and hollows make the region, in the opinion of many, Wisconsin’s most scenic. The value doesn’t end there. For anglers, it is widely regarded as the trout fishing mecca in the Midwest. The good fishing has resulted in more than bent rods and smiling anglers. According to a 2008 survey of trout stamp holders, recreational angling in the Driftless Area generates $1.1 billion in annual economic benefit to local businesses. The survey was conducted by NorthStar Economics under contract from Trout Unlimited. “If you ever needed an indication that a healthy environment is good for the economy, there it is,” said Welter, chairman of Trout Unlimited’s National Leadership Council, the top volunteer spot in the 150,000-member conservation organization. The Driftless Area wasn’t always a showpiece for cold-water resources. In the 1800s the area drew thousands of European settlers,

mostly farmers. But the agricultural practices of the time left the area with massive erosion problems. “By 1930 it had become clear to all except the ecologically blind that southwestern Wisconsin’s topsoil was slipping seaward,” wrote Aldo Leopold in “A Sand County Almanac.” Though steps were taken to reduce erosion — Vernon County is home to the nation’s first watershed protection program, featuring contour planting—streams were severely degraded and trout populations, particularly native brook trout, plummeted. “Many streams here only had trout because they were stocked,” said Dave Vetrano, Department of Natural Resources fisheries manager in La Crosse. Improvements came gradually. Better erosion control helped reduce siltation. Improved stream rehabilitation techniques made for longer-lasting fixes. A wild trout program resulted in better survival of stocked fish. The DNR stocks about 50,000 trout—mostly in ponds—today in the four counties around La Crosse as opposed to about 150,000 in 1980, Vetrano said. “We’ve got more naturally reproducing trout and more miles of trout streams than just a couple decades ago,” Vetrano said. “That’s progress.” In a project of rare scope and ambition, Trout Unlimited unveiled the Driftless Area Restoration Effort (DARE) in 2005. Its first report was titled “ The Driftless Area: A Landscape of Opportunities.” Drawing on partnerships between state, federal and local agencies, private landowners, local conservation clubs and more, DARE hopes to restore and protect the area’s watersheds. Part of its strategy is to consider the region’s ecosystem as “a whole.” Welter was one of its architects. “If you think about Puget Sound or Chesapeake Bay, you have geographic neighborhoods with a distinct ecology,” Welter said. “Places like that have a regional identity that is important to them. We thought we could do the same in the Driftless Area.” Good land use practices such as erosion control can increase trout populations. And more trout can boost the area’s rural economy. The survey of the angling impact on the area helped draw attention to the project. According to Trout Unlimited, there are 155,000 trout stamp holders in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. About 60 percent of Driftless Area anglers come from outside the area; they come from all 50 states.

ast July, Jerry Logosz’s big fish weighed 7.085 pounds and set a new state record. That record was shattered in February when Gene Thiel landed a 7.5pounder. In March, Wan Teece reeled in an 8.23-pounder. Bob Both’s turn came in April with a kokanee that weighed 8.85 pounds. A Pendleton angler, Ron Campbell, set the new world record with a kokanee that weighed 9.67 pounds. One of the biggest stories in world fishing this year is the hunt for the world record kokanee at Wallowa Lake in Northeast Oregon. Bob Schmidt and Bob Loomis of Mack’s Lure Company were there the day that Campbell caught the big one. “We had bites all day long, but morning and evening were best. We were testing a new dodger, the Double D, for trolling for trout and kokanee. We caught several on the Cha-Cha Squidder in the 5-pound range and one bigger than 6 pounds.” The new dodger won’t hit the market until later in the year, but it is designed to turn Scurves. Trolled at a constant rate of speed, it speeds up and slows down. When it reaches speed, it breaks plane and dives down again to spark a strike from a following fish. “One of the nice kokanee holes is off the dock at the north end off the boat ramp, but the thing a person wants to do is look to see where all the boats are and where the people are catching fish.” Put your binos in the tackle box. The hot baits have been small trolling lures like the Double Whammy Kokanee Pro, the Cha Cha Kokanee Squidder and Shasta’s Pee-Wee Hootchie. Campbell had a hootchie, a squid-type bait, on the end of his line when the big one grabbed.

Chubby Continued from D1 Biologists from the ODFW and volunteers have been trapping tui chub in East Lake for the last two weeks as part of a five-year plan to restore the rainbow trout fishery. According to ODFW fish biologist Jen Luke, the biologists and volunteers are targeting the tui chub for three weeks in June and July, when the fish concentrate in shallow waters near shore to spawn. “Our plan is to trap and remove as many tui chub as we can over the next three spawning seasons,” Luke said this week. Once the chub have been reduced, the ODFW will attempt to keep the remaining population of the species in check by stocking in East Lake a more aggressive strain of rainbow trout that will eat the chub. Since the project started on June 28, biologists have been trapping an average of 600 pounds of tui chub a day, according to the ODFW. “Our goal is not the complete elimination of the tui chub — which is likely impossible using traps,” Luke said. “Instead, we want to try to keep the chub population at a low enough level that rainbow trout can still thrive.” For decades, Luke noted, East Lake was well known for producing trophy-sized rainbow trout. In recent years, however, the quality of the rainbow trout fishing in East Lake has declined as the tui chub population has increased. “They dominate the zooplankton supply in the lake,” Hodgson said of the tui chub. “Zooplankton are the bottom link of the food chain for trout. Without them, the entire food web collapses.” Hodgson added that, without intervention, the chub will continue to multiply and become a more severe problem. “We’ve had repeated contacts with angling groups over the last several years, voicing their dissatisfaction and asking what we’re going to do,” he said. Biologists and volunteers are using three large box nets made of nylon to capture the chub, mostly on the lake’s south and east shorelines. The fish swim into the lead lines of the net and are funneled

I’d already planned to fish Wallowa Lake, but I was excited after Rick Arnold of TrophyTroutGuide.com told me about the latest one. We hit the water on July 4, late in the game for the kokanee bite, but the trout fishing was on fire. We rented a boat at the marina, No. 42 called “Lucky.” We appreciated the name more when we saw the monikers given to a few of the other boats: “Flippy” and “Oopsi.” Isaac Flaherty, 8 years old, claimed the middle seat, James settled in the front, while I primed old Smoky, the 6-hp Evinrude. As we motored away in Lucky, it came out that Isaac had never caught a trout before. He had some bluegill and other finny creatures to his credit, but no trout, no kokanee. We chased the kokanee hard for two hours because that’s what you do when you go to Wallowa Lake — no bites, no bent rods on the other boats. We eased back up to the head of the lake, to the mouth of the river. Isaac’s bait hit the water, settled to the bottom and then it was inhaled by a rainbow. Stung, it raced one way and then the other, then broke the surface like a rainbow should. That was when we realized we’d forgotten the net. The next fish fell to Isaac as well, but by that time I’d settled on a streamer with a red marabou tail, a body of red sparkle chenille

into a trap compartment, Hodgson explained. The chub are then removed each morning and discarded at a gravel pit on U.S. Forest Service land about 10 miles away, according to Hodgson. Any trout that are captured are removed from the net and released back into the lake. (Hodgson noted that the ODFW would consider using the chub as fish fertilizer or for human consumption, but the dangerous mercury levels in East Lake preclude the agency from doing so.) Hodgson said the ODFW plans to continue the trap operation through this weekend, then return next summer for more trapping. Trout populations at many other Oregon lakes have been decimated by tui chub, including Diamond Lake in southwest Oregon. In 2005, the ODFW killed all the fish in Diamond Lake with the plant-derived pesticide rotenone, then restocked the lake with rainbow trout. As a result of the treatment, the Diamond Lake rainbow trout fishery is once again flourishing. A total kill with rotenone is not an option on East Lake, Hodgson explained, because it would be too costly, and it would be difficult to kill all the fish. “The depth and water volume (in East Lake) would make it hugely expensive, and all the inflow of underwater springs would make it difficult to get a 100 percent kill,” Hodgson said. “Our objective is to hit the population hard with the traps for three years during the spawning period. This is not a long-term strategy — it’s very labor-intensive. We can’t commit to it with our limited staff.” Hodgson said it will likely be a couple of years before anglers notice an upturn in the rainbow trout fishing at East Lake.

“I think you could see an improvement next year,” he said. “By the end of the three-year removal period, I think we’ll see significant improvement. We’ll stock with rainbow trout that will utilize the chub as food, perhaps next year.” Resort owners at two other popular Central Oregon trout lakes — Paulina Lake, located just west of East Lake, and Lava Lake, southwest of Bend off Cascade Lakes Highway — trap chub with nets on their own. “They’ve controlled the chub populations and it’s resulted in great improvements to the trout fishery at Lava (Lake),” Hodgson said. The biologist said that East Lake has the most significant chub problem of any lake in Central Oregon. The grayish-bronzecolored fish average 6 to 8 inches in length, but Hodgson said they grow to 12 inches in East Lake. The lake is naturally devoid of fish and was first stocked with rainbow trout in 1912, according to the ODFW. By the 1920s, East Lake was gaining a reputation as a premiere trout fishery due to abundant food sources that

allowed trout to grow to trophy sizes. Tui chub are not native to Central Oregon and were most likely introduced to East Lake by anglers using them as live bait, according to the ODFW. David Jones, owner of East Lake Resort, said he is pleased that the ODFW is taking action to reduce the number of tui chub in the lake. “Anything they can do to improve the fishery is a good thing, both short term and long term,” Jones said. “We’re very excited.” He added that fishing for kokanee has been outstanding this season. “The fishing has been excellent,” Jones said. “I can’t imagine what it will be like without the chub.” Mark Morical can be reached at 541-383-0318 or at mmorical@ bendbulletin.com.

FLY-TYING CORNER By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

If you fish the lower Metolius in August and September, you won’t want to be without a fly to match the big bugs that might make an appearance during the heat of the day. Attractor patterns like the Stimulator and the Animator are good bets. The Willow Fly is a local favorite to match this hatch. Watch for fish rising in the seams at the edge of faster water. Use a 3X leader to turn this big fly over on the cast. Lay on the fly floatant to keep the bug on the surface. Fish this pattern on a floating line with an upstream or downstream drag-free presentation. Tie the Willow Fly with black thread on a No. 6 up-eye dry-fly hook. Build the body with an underlay of peacock herl. Finish the body with a light insect green floss wound to allow the peacock to show between the wraps to give a segmented effect.

and a short CDC collar. Big trout elevated to inspect it while the light was on the water. When the sun slid behind the ridge, the action heated up. I’d lay the line into the current, let it drift around and let the fly sink on a tight line. A couple of twitches and the line would straighten out. The third trout ripped line off the reel until I thought he’d be into the backing. Five minutes later, I still hadn’t seen him. A lake trout perhaps, or better yet, a bull trout. With one hand on the rod, I pulled out my regulations. Lake trout were legal. Bull trout were not, but they, with the landlocked sockeye, are the native fish of this great lake. The leader showed above the surface, and moments later the trout elevated. Light speckles against an olive body, its fins rimmed in white, the fish allowed me to guide it in on the 4X leader. Measured against the rod, it went 23 inches and, thus admired, it slipped out of my hand, gave a hard kick and disappeared into the clean, clear blue water. My world record kokanee chase didn’t end with a world record, or even with a kokanee, but I’d taken and released a world-class fish. And I’d glimpsed several rainbows that would have tipped the scales at 3 to 4 pounds or more. With warmer weather, the kokanee have followed the shrimp and plankton deeper in the water column. Another world record could lurk in that deep blue lake.

t was late June, the sun was out, I had the day off, my wife was at work, and our kids were freshly out of school for the summer. So, before boredom and its cousin, bickering, could kick in, I loaded snacks, water, the kids and the dog into the van. We headed out east for a day of something I’d been craving since I’d last experienced it locally about eight or nine months ago: sunshine and warmth. Now that we’re all getting acclimated to hot, sunny days, we’re losing our collective memory of what was the long, cold month of “Junuary,” as some people were rightfully referring to June. Believe you me, when it finally showed itself, that sun felt 47 kinds of fantastic, and I’m not prone to hyperbole the way everyone else is. Our destination: a couple of the many mines along Forest Road 42 in the Ochoco Mountains, followed by a drive to nearby Big Summit Prairie for some obligatory seasonal flower gazing. This is how often — or, I should say, rarely — we venture eastward, at least as a family: It marked the first time my kids had seen Prineville in the almost nine years we’ve lived here. I should probably be embarrassed about this. They found the Crook County Courthouse particularly eye-pleasing, and during a trek to the Saturday Market a

Animal-track sightings, blowdown and mosquitoes keeping Central Oregon trail users on their toes By David Jasper The Bulletin

TRAIL UPDATE

With melting snow, blown-down trees, mosquito swarms and sightings of cougars and bear tracks, there’s never a dull moment for Chris Sabo, trails specialist for the Deschutes National Forest. Calling from “the outdoor office,” a snowmobile trail on the north side of Newberry Crater, Sabo reported that snowmelt continues to drip along, but some popular sites are still blocked by snow, including Green Lakes and South Sister trails. Sabo recommends only experienced climbers attempt to negotiate trails still blocked by snow. Snow is melting around the Three Creeks area, and trails there are

becoming more accessible. Park Meadow Trail has been cleared to the wilderness boundaries, with light to moderate blowdown. Trail users in that area will reach snow in the 6,2006,400-foot area. “We’re just a little behind what we expected, because we’ve had a relatively lightish snow year, and it was sure looking like it was going to be an early year” for melt-off, Sabo said. “The lower elevations are in pretty good shape except for areas of concentrated blowdown,” mostly limited to areas of beetle-kill and burn areas, he said. “I continue to hear people reporting blowdown during the day, while they’re hiking around out there.” Sabo recommends that if it’s windy and you’re in a dead-tree zone, you

might want to rethink your outdoor plans, “because a tree on the head is going to hurt for a while.” Mosquitoes are definitely increasing, hectoring trail maintenance crews. “With all this water running off along the snow lines, people will tend to find higher concentrations, and that’s what’s apparent in most cases.” About the sighting of cougars and bear tracks: Sabo won’t go into specifics as to where, not wanting to encourage gawkers and other troublemakers. “The animal is there one day; it could be 20, 30 miles away (the next),” he said. “There are animals all throughout the forest.

Young man stuck in neutral must grab the wheel and go Dear Abby: Nineteen-year-old “Hopeless in Chandler, Ariz.” (May 21), said he doesn’t know what he wants to do with his life. When I was his age, I didn’t know what I wanted to do, either. I didn’t want to go to college, the military didn’t interest me, and nothing I could think of seemed appealing. My parents had factory jobs — Dad in quality control and Mom in assembly. They talked me into filling out an application at the plant. I did so grudgingly, and was hired. I figured I’d stay one or two years and then find something I liked better. This September I’ll have worked there 32 years. I have survived layoffs and reorganizations, a move to another town and the sale of the product line I started on. I consider the job I’m doing now to be my dream job, and I enjoy going to work every day. My advice to “Hopeless” is to try something he may think he won’t like, give it a chance, and see how he feels in a couple of years. He may be surprised by what he discovers. — Happy And Satisfied In Ohio Dear Happy: Great advice! It never hurts to give something a try before deciding you don’t like it. Read on for more suggestions: Dear Abby: I would encourage “Hopeless” to take college transfer courses at a community college. This often leads to finding an interest. Volunteer and/or get a part-time job. — Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor In Murphy, N.C. Dear Abby: “Hopeless” should sign with a temp agency. I worked as a temp during my college breaks and was introduced to various office settings, technologies and career opportunities. One summer’s temporary placement — answering phones and doing clerical work — led to a higher-level position the following summer after graduation. I took it and couldn’t have been happier. “Hopeless” shouldn’t wait for others to tell him what he should

do — he should just get out there and do it! If nothing else, he may discover what he does NOT want to do and can direct his college course accordingly. — Barbara In Katy, Texas Dear Abby: Life is what happens while you’re busy making plans. “Hopeless” should choose something he enjoys doing, do it well and enjoy the experience. Most important, he should stick with it until he’s sure a change is needed. Career planning works for some, but for most people life has a funny way of taking us down roads we never saw coming. — “Doc” In Los Osos, Calif. Dear Abby: Twenty years ago I never would have thought of becoming a professional organizer, but that’s what I am now. This is not a career that appears in any career counselor’s tests, but I’m sure you wouldn’t find many unusual careers in a book or test. I advise “Hopeless” to join volunteer groups and ask friends if they need help with anything. — Jan In Carlsbad, Calif. Dear Abby: There are hundreds of jobs that provide a good living — plumber, electrician, bricklayer, construction worker, appliance repairman, stonemason. The list goes on. These are jobs that keep the world spinning and keep us in the comforts we enjoy. If “Hopeless” doesn’t know what he wants, he might consider taking a year to work with AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps or Habitat for Humanity. If he uses his imagination, he can make a difference in the world. — Keeping It Real In New Hampshire

NEW YORK — Piers Morgan will stay at Sharon and Howie’s table — and he looks poised to get his own desk on CNN as well. Morgan, the British journalist best known in the U.S. as a judge on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” just struck a new three-year deal to stay on the program, where he serves alongside Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel. In the meantime, the deal will free him to negotiate to replace Larry King in CNN’s coveted 9 p.m. Eastern berth, according to sources familiar with the situation. Last month, King announced he would retire after 25 years on “Larry King Live.” Morgan has been rumored for weeks as a possible replacement for King, but his NBC deal had been a major sticking point. Under the terms of the new contract, Morgan’s duties for “America’s Got Talent” will take precedence over any responsibilities he will have at CNN. The show has been a staple of NBC’s summer lineup since 2006. Networks seldom release talent to work for other outlets, and talent-sharing arrangements are rarer still, CNN’s Anderson Cooper and PBS’ Charlie Rose being notable exceptions. One factor that helped sweeten the deal for NBC was that Turner Broadcasting, CNN’s parent company, offered NBC some financial concessions on other deals involving the two companies. The King show was during

the 1990s a major stop for political candidates and other newsmakers — Ross Perot’s appearances during his 1992 presidential bid were particularly closely watched — but the program’s fortunes have lately fallen, along with the rest of CNN’s primetime lineup. CNN executives have been impressed with the interviewing chops of Morgan, who’s a household name in Britain and hosts “Piers Morgan’s Life Stories” there. His profile has risen in the U.S. as well, thanks in part to his 2008 appearance on “Celebrity Apprentice.” However, he is not without controversy; in 2004, he was sacked from his post as edi-

tor of the Daily Mirror after the paper ran photos of British soldiers abusing Iraqi detainees; the pictures were later revealed to be fakes. Assuming Morgan does get the CNN job, he will have beat out several other rumored candidates with even higher U.S. profiles, including King’s handpicked successor, “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest. CBS anchor Katie Couric and talk host Joy Behar were also floated as candidates. Whoever sits in the chair, the stakes are high. CNN needs to deliver a hit at 9 p.m., as it has suffered deep audience erosion in prime time since the 2008 elec-

tion while its longtime nemesis, Fox News Channel, continues to fly high. The Time Warnerowned network is in the midst of a major overhaul of its lineup; fall will bring a new show co-hosted by disgraced former Gov. Eliot Spitzer and conservative columnist Kathleen Parker. CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein insisted last month that the network was not in negotiations with Morgan, which technically was true due to his NBC deal. “There are any number of talented people out there,” Klein said at the time. The choice of Morgan may surprise American viewers, who only know him for his acerbic comments on “America’s Got Talent.” But he is wellknown to British viewers as an interviewer who is not afraid to ask uncomfortable questions. For each episode of “Life Stories,” he devotes an hour to talking to a single celebrity guest in front of a studio audience. Guests have included Sharon Osbourne, his judging partner on “America’s Got Talent,” longtime friend Simon Cowell and, perhaps most memorably, then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Brown and his wife both wept on the show as they talked about the death of their 10-day-old daughter from a brain hemorrhage and the challenges facing their young son, who has cystic fibrosis. Morgan, in fact, has a track record of reducing guests to tears. According to the Daily Mail, model Katie Price cried when she told him about being sexually assaulted as a child and TV host Cilla Black “sobbed” when talking about the death of her premature daughter.

N N Bristol Palin engaged to Levi Johnston NEW YORK — Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston say they’re engaged and hope to get married within six weeks in Alaska, an abrupt turnaround for the couple who just months ago were fighting over child support and Johnston’s critical comments about the Palin family. Palin, the daughter of 2008 vice presidential candidate and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is featured on the cover of Us Weekly with Johnston, holding their 18-month-old son, Tripp. The couple told the magazine they reconnected while working out a custody plan and became engaged two weeks ago. Palin, 19, told Us Weekly she found the idea of telling her mother about the engagement “intimidating and scary.” But Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, said in a statement on NBC’s “Today” show Tuesday that they want what’s best for their children and that Bristol believes in “redemption and forgiveness.” Earlier this month, Johnston, 20, acknowledged telling lies about the Palin family after he and Bristol Palin broke up. He says he’s apologized. After the young couple broke up in late 2008, shortly after the birth of their son, Johnston gave a series of interviews criticizing the Palin family, maligning Sarah Palin’s parenting skills and

The pair say they reconnected while working out a custody plan for their son Tripp. saying she wanted to adopt his child so people wouldn’t know her daughter was pregnant. He also posed on the February cover of Playgirl magazine sporting nothing but a sultry gaze. Johnston told People magazine he was “unhappy and a little angry” after the breakup. He said that against his better judgment, he said things about the Palins that “were not completely true.”

dents in 2007 during which she also tested positive for cocaine.

LOS ANGELES — Actress Lindsay Lohan says an expletive that was visible on one of her fingernails at a court was unrelated to her legal case. Lohan wrote on her Twitter account that the vulgarity painted on her middle fingernail “had nothing to do w/court. It’s an airbrush design from a stencil xx.” A court photographer captured the nail art as the actress told Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel on July 6 that she was taking the probation violation seriously. The fingernail was visible as Lohan wiped tears from her eyes during a last-ditch attempt to avoid jail after the judge decided the actress had violated her probation by failing to attend weekly alcohol education classes. Lohan was given a 90-day jail sentence. She was ordered to surrender July 20. Lohan’s probation stems from a conviction for driving under the influence after two DUI inci-

PHILADELPHIA — A Pennsylvania state lawmaker is questioning the legality of work permits issued to Kate Gosselin’s sextuplets for the reality show “Kate Plus 8.” Rep. Thomas Kate Gosselin Murt says state law allows children younger than 7 to work in movies, but not TV. Gosselin’s sextuplets are 6. Murt asked for an explanation in letters sent Tuesday to the state attorney general and labor secretary. State labor officials said previously that TV producers should have obtained child work permits for the TLC show’s predecessor, “Jon & Kate Plus 8.” But no penalties were imposed. — From wire reports

Loose dogs will ruin that experience. “We really don’t want uncontrolled dogs chasing the wildlife.” The U.S. Forest Service asks that people keep their domesticated beasts under control via leash or voice command. “It’s not just for the wildlife, but also for the comfort and enjoyment of other folks,” he said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 15, 2010: This year, note the mood swings you or your compatriots might go through. There are no answers, only an understanding that everything changes quickly. Also, don’t stand on ceremony with friends or loved ones. If you are single, you could develop an interesting bond, but don’t trust that it is forever unless it is. A fight doesn’t mean it is over. If you are attached, your communication is certainly vibrant and active. Don’t always take words as literal. VIRGO can be feisty, but also very kind. 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 Can there be such a thing as too much energy? Today you could become feisty if you don’t have enough to do. Act like the Energizer Bunny, and you’ll achieve more than you can imagine. Tonight: Make it OK to go out on the town. TAURUS (April 20-May 21) HHHHH Your imagination mixed with determination could enact changes, if you so choose. You also simply might opt for a good exercise session or make a fun, active date or plan in the next few days. Tonight: Note the longing looks. GEMINI (May 22-June 20) HHH Rest assured that all is not well on the home front. You might feel as if someone or something is out of control, yet you might not be able to put your finger on it. Trust your inner judgments more often. Tonight: Mosey on home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Keep communication open and, if possible, nonjudgmental. If you say something that upsets someone and you know it, put out the fire before there is a major issue. You could be a touch sarcastic right now. Work on your listening skills. Tonight: Say “yes” to a fun invitation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Watch your spending. You could go overboard and be surprised. The problem lies somewhere else. Could you be suppressing some anger or frustration? By going off and perhaps making a purchase, you might avoid those feelings. Tonight: OK ... time to treat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Despite a morning upset, you have enormous potential, with the Moon in your sign. You are energized and magnetic, and others seem to want to work with you. Make special time for a dear friend. Tonight: Your wish is another’s pleasure. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Take your time. It isn’t imperative for you to act immediately. Sort through your thoughts and feelings. There is more to your reaction than you realize. You might need some time alone. Use your instincts with a boss or higher-up. Tonight: Try not to make plans. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Continue the theme of the more the merrier. Opt for meetings; get together and open up discussions. Avoid a one-onone chat. A male or assertive

friend could be pushing you. Establish boundaries quickly. Tonight: In weekend mode. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your drive to complete a project is strong, though you could be exhausted by everything that is going on around you. Lighten up about events and what you need to do. Indulge yourself, too. Tonight: Might be a late night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could feel as if you are not making the right moves or are causing yourself a problem. A family member or roommate also could be outrageous, whether you know it or not. Don’t make any decisions right now. Tonight: Detach first, then decide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Someone close to you swings from hot to cold so quickly that you could be thrown for a loop. Realize the innate limitations when relating to this person. For now, avoid provocative statements and actions. Give this situation space. Tonight: Try to listen to someone by imagining what it would be like to be him or her. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Others could be contentious, then they could be as sweet as pie. You might feel like you are going through a revolving door, never knowing who will be there. Relax. You aren’t going to change anyone. Tonight: Do whatever knocks your socks off. Say “no” to anything else.

Visitors to Independent Mine are treated to an array of falling-down buildings. The mine is just one of several abandoned mines along Forest Road 42 in the Ochocos, where cinnabar, the ore from which mercury is extracted, was mined.

Outing Continued from E1

Independent Mine There are a number of other excursions one can embark on in this area, including the Lookout Mountain Loop Trail, but a sunny day in the forest is a sunny day in the forest. Our first stop was a roadside creek along Forest Road 42, where we threw the ball for the dog, stretched our legs and explored along the creek, obviously a popular car-camping destination judging from the fire pits peppering the area. We got back in the van and continued east to our next stop: Independent Mine. Just past Milepost 6, we took a right onto unpaved Road 4205 and drove about a half mile up the hill. As we drove up, we could see Independent Mine and its assortment of collapsing buildings, which have a ghost-town feel without the eeriness. We parked under a shady tree near the Baneberry Trailhead and hoofed down to the first building. None of these buildings are to be entered, and signs posted at the site will tell you this. One possible punishment: How about a hefty piece of wood replete with a rusty nail hitting you square in the head? It could happen, or at least that’s what I told the kids. Getting a close-up view of history is cool until it gives you a concussion. Better just to look at it. According to a 2008 article by ace environmental reporter Kate Ramsayer of this newspaper, Independent Mine was the site of the mining of cinnabar,

an ore which was heated to the point where mercury could be extracted. “The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, the U.S. Forest Service and others have done cleanup work at the worst spots that posed an immediate threat,” she wrote about mercury contamination at the mining sites. “For people hiking or riding in the Ochoco National Forest, the amount of the metal, a neurotoxin, in the dirt surrounding most of the old mines shouldn’t pose a health concern.” Or, as “Bend, Overall” author Scott Cook, puts it, “Toxic levels of mercury were cleaned up, so unless you eat a bucketful of mine tailings, you’ll probably be in no danger just walking and looking.” We lingered a while, peeking in the open doorways and windows of the wooden structures, some empty, others falling down and being gobbled up by nature and one with an old appliance still inside. Getting my daughters to hike back up the hill was like trying to herd cranky cats in a rainstorm, but the lure of snacks awaiting them did the trick.

Big Summit Prairie With their hunger quashed for, oh, the next 50 minutes or so, we skipped nearby Mother Lode Mine, which is just a little farther up the road, and instead headed east again on Road 42 toward Big Summit Prairie, passing signs for two more mines, including Amity and Blue Ridge, the latter of which we checked out upon our return. Big Summit Prairie lived up to its name and reputation: several thousand acres bursting with

wildflowers, looking like a Technicolor scene from “The Sound of Music” more than Central Oregon, which often looks like it spans a spectrum from beige to brown. According to the U.S. Forest Service, a lot of the interior is fencedoff, private land, but there’s plenty to see along the edges. If you’re interested in plant identification — and, hey, who isn’t? — the Forest Service office in Prineville offers a free brochure, “Wildflowers of Big Summit Prairie.” Different flowers peak at different times here, some in May and June. However, according to the Forest Service’s wildflowers website (www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/), “In June and July, other flowers become prominent, including Missouri iris, larkspur, paintbrush, checkermallow, and arrow-leaf balsamroot. One notable plant is Peck’s mariposa lily, a tulip-like plant with lavender petals. This plant is found only in the Ochoco Mountains.” The prairie is also the summer home of several pairs of sandhill cranes, which have good taste in summer homes. We didn’t see any cranes, but we did spot two separate landscape painters perched along the roadside, capturing the splendid scene on canvas. Blue Ridge Mine sits directly on the north side of Road 42, and it was another treat, but we didn’t stay long. By the time we got back to Prineville, the weather was getting hot. So were the fries the kids and I indulged in with our fastfood lunch. Sometimes you just have to give in to cravings. David Jasper can be reached at 541-383-0349 or djasper@bendbulletin.com.

ne of the first major pieces of the federal health care reform law will go into effect this month. Across the country, people with pre-existing medical conditions that prevent them from getting health insurance will now be able to enroll in a plan specifically for them. These so-called high-risk insurance pools are mandated by the federal health care overhaul enacted in March. HEALTH Several thousand Oregonians are CARE expected to benefit, though it will not have the same impact in this state as REFORM elsewhere, because the program is similar to an existing state program. Some states, including Oregon, already have highrisk pools. In these states, the federal pools will operate alongside the existing state pools, with some important differences. See Insurance / F5

Watsu water therapy helps improve mobility By Markian Hawryluk The Bulletin

Gravity can wreak havoc on the body. The constant force pulls and tugs on joints and connective tissue, and requires the skeletal structure to support hunFITN dreds of pounds of weight. And as the body breaks down due to normal aging or injury, those forces can lead to chronic pain and limited mobility. Imagine how good it would feel if you could turn off gravity for an hour or so, to float weightless, to literally take the load

off your body. That’s the concept behind Watsu, a form of aquatic therapy that uses the buoyancy and resistance of water to move creaky joints and relieve pain. Many people who E S S have experienced Watsu call it the most relaxing experience they’ve ever encountered. “It’s like a vacation in an hour,” said Shoshana Foxwell, who offers Watsu services at Rebound Physical Therapy’s west-Bend location. Watsu — short for water shiatsu — was de-

veloped by massage therapist Howard Dull in the early 1980s. Dull had been studying Shiatsu massage techniques and began experimenting with using the massage techniques in a warm water pool. He found that the support of water took the weight off the vertebrae and allowed him to move the spines of his clients in ways he couldn’t on dry land. Gentle, gradual twists and pulls relieve the pressure on the spine. He developed techniques that have gained in popularity both in massage and therapy settings. See Watsu / F6

Here’s a recipe for D-ficiency Recent studies show Americans lack vitamin D due to food and sun fears By Buzz McClain McClatchy-Tribune News Service

If the sun burned out and all the cows died, pretty soon we’d all be walking around with rickets. Happily, the sun is still shining — that’s pretty much a given in this heat — and the pastures are still populated with grazing bovines. But rickets is still making a slight comeback, particularly among infants and young children. The journal Pediatrics estimates 70 percent of American children are D-ficient. Not to the point of complications but still enough to get the attention of the medical profession. Rickets is just the most obvious of the complications from a vitamin D deficiency, which means that you are getting less than the 400 IU Recommended Daily Allowance, or RDA. That’s not much: 20 minutes in the sun produces up to 20,000 IU of D. Other symptoms of vitamin D deficiency occurring in young people, adults and seniors include “achy bones, achy joints, muscle fatigue and muscle weakness,” says Dr. Steven Joyal, vice president of scientific affairs and medical development for the Life Extension Foundation in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “They are somewhat unspecific, but all are signs of a vitamin D deficiency.” But wait, there’s more. According to the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements, vitamin D also prevents certain cancers; prevents diabetes, hypertension, glucose intolerance and multiple sclerosis; wards off osteoporosis (with calcium) in older adults and “modulates neuromuscular and immune function and reduction of inflammation” (in other words, colds, fever and flu). There are also studies that indicate D-deficient diets are associated with lactose intolerance and milk allergies. Vitamin D comes to humans in dairy products, fatty fish (salmon, catfish, tuna), broccoli, mushrooms and, mainly, sunshine. That’s why it’s called “the sunshine vitamin.” But over the years, we’ve reduced our milk intake because of alarms about animal fat, we’ve cut down on salmon because of mercury levels, and broccoli, parsley and mushrooms, well, “That’s what

food eats,” as one disgruntled 12year-old boy was recently heard to say at the dinner table. And as for that sunshine, just one word: melanoma. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S., according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. More than 3.5 million cases in 2 million people are diagnosed each year (melanoma has a tendency to recur if not successfully treated). One in five Americans will develop skin cancer. Each year, there are more new skin-cancer cases than there are cases of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon — combined. The incidence of melanoma is rising faster than any of the seven other leading causes of cancer. One person dies of melanoma every hour. Our educated cultural response has been to shield our vulnerable skin — and all of it is vulnerable — from the sun’s rays with sunblocks and sunscreens (see “Sun protection facts”). Those chemicals, even the least expensive ones, are very effective in reducing the amounts of harmful UVA and UVB sunlight that penetrates the skin, some by as much as 97 percent. But there is little argument that those chemicals also reduce the amount of vitamin D that’s produced by the skin. Vitamin D production is stimulated when ultraviolet light B — UVB — is absorbed in the skin. But when it’s blocked, the production goes down. Dangerously so? “There’s a lot of discussion in the medical community,” Joyal says. Dr. Bess Dawson-Hughes, director of the Bone Metabolism Laboratory at Tufts University, told The Boston Globe that “10 minutes a day of sun exposure to the face and arms without sunblock protection” is enough to trigger vitamin D production without increasing skin-cancer risk. In his book, “The UV Advantage,” Dr. Michael Holick at Boston University recommends “five to 15 minutes a day a few days a week” of sunlight exposure. The idea is to not overdo it. “A tan is a sign of sun damage; it’s the body’s reaction to sunlight as it tries to protect the skin from the sun,” Joyal says. “The idea of

Sun protection facts KNOW THE TERMS • UVA: long-wave ultraviolet rays from the sun. • UVB: short-wave ultraviolet rays. Dr. Steven Joyal points out the difference between two products used to control the effects of the sun’s rays on the skin. Sunblock: “Uses a physical agent like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to physically block the rays of the sun.” These compounds deflect UV rays, which can cause wrinkles, premature aging and skin cancer. Sunscreen: “Sunscreens are chemical agents that bind with the skin and tend to absorb the energy of the sunlight. They tend to break down in the skin after a while.” Sunscreens protect against UVA and UVB rays. The line on tanning booths: Dr. Mona Gohara said that “tanning booth (salons) advertise that they give vitamin D, but that’s complete bunk because 95 percent of the time tanning booths give you UVA, which gives you an immediate tan so you look a little bit browner, or redder in some cases. UVB is what’s required for vitamin D production.”

There are a lot of nuts out there. And they can impact your health. This quiz is adapted from a “nutty test” that appeared in the recent Wellness Letter from UC Berkeley and information from the International Tree Nut Council www.nuthealth.org, which encourages us to “Go nuts every day!”

To get the health benefits of nuts, you need to: a) own a walnut orchard; b) eat 1 to 3 ounces of nuts a day; c) not eat the whole bag of honey roasted peanuts. Answer: b.

One ounce is the same as a) 14 walnut halves; b) 19 pecan halves; c) 24 almonds; d) 49 pistachios. Answer: All are correct.

In more than 30 randomized controlled trials, nuts have been shown to: a) lower total cholesterol; b) lower LDL cholesterol; c) lower hunger. Answer: All are correct and attributed to the protein, fiber, and healthful fats contained in nuts.

Regular nut eaters tend to be a) thinner; b) less likely to have diabetes; c) more fun at parties. Answer: a, b.

True or False. Nut butters have the same nutritional advantages as whole nuts. Answer: True … IF the nut butters are just ground up nuts. Check the label for unneeded sugar, salt, or unhealthy trans fat. A whole day’s supply of selenium — a potent antioxidant mineral — can be found in a) a field in western Nebraska; b) one Brazil nut; c) 55 micrograms. Answers: b, c. (Caution: selenium can be toxic in doses higher than 400 micrograms a day.)

Hamburger meat is heavy on fat, but it’s also full of iron, vitamins Hamburger? Good for you? For real? New research suggests this barbecue staple may not be as bad for you as once thought. The study, published in May in the journal Circulation, found that eating more red meat was not linked to diabetes or heart disease as was once thought. The study found instead that processed meats — bacon, salami, hot dogs — were associated with higher rates of heart disease and diabetes. Earlier studies had lumped the two groups of meat together, leaving open the possibility that the negative effects attributed to all red meats came from the processing. Hamburger has a lot of good going for it. It’s chock full of vitamin B12 and iron, which can be hard to find in other foods. As with any meat, it contains a lot of protein and a smattering of other nutrients as well.

Watch out: Try to find lean meats to cut down on the fat in the beef. One hamburger patty, made with 90 percent lean meat, has nearly a fifth of a person’s recommended maximum daily intake of fat and a quarter of the daily intake of cholesterol. Despite the new study, those things are still unhealthy. Hamburger meat is a great food to eat on occasion but shouldn’t become an everyday food. How to eat: Grill them, pan-fry or bake into casseroles. — Betsy Q. Cliff, The Bulletin

Vitamin D is found in dairy products and fatty fish like salmon, but consumption of these foods has decreased in the U.S. due to alarms of animal fat and mercury levels. But studies have shown that a lack of vitamin D can lead to poor bone health and allergies.

UVA and UVB sunlight can be harmful, but the skin absorbs sunlight, stimulating vitamin D production. Sunscreens and sunblocks can protect against melanoma but disrupt vitamin production. The trick, experts say, is to find a compromise.

a ‘safe tan’ is a myth.” “We know that 90 percent of skin cancers are caused by the sun and that the sun and tanning booths are known and documented human carcinogens,” says Dr. Mona Gohara, assistant clinical professor at the Department of Dermatology at the Yale School for Medicine. Gohara believes it’s best not to take the risk of going out in the sun without sunscreen. “UVA and UVB are still coming through even if you are being diligent with sunscreen.” And being diligent means this: “You are supposed to put on, which very few people do, the equivalent of a shot glass of sunscreen over your entire body every two hours.”

Gohara says she advises patients who are worried about being D deficient to “get tested (for vitamin D levels) so you know what you’re dealing with. If you are deficient, supplement your vitamin D with supplements and through your dietary intake, but do this so you are not giving yourself the extra risk of skin cancer by exposing yourself to the sun. “A happy compromise,” Gohara says, “is to not live under a rock, go outside and enjoy your life but apply sunscreen diligently and avoid the sun when it’s at its highest and be aware that vitamin D is important for your health and supplement it if you need to.” D-lightful.

Not every label is telling the truth By Melissa Bell The Washington Post

The plastic soup can looks as if it’s a single-size meal, a healthful lunch option for one hurried customer. But the nutrition label on the back says otherwise. Gummy fruit snacks show a shower of strawberries on the label, which reads “naturally fruit flavored.” Customers would be hard-pressed to find any strawberries in the ingredient list. Because of rising obesity rates and a push for more healthy living, many new products in the supermarket claim to be low-fat, immunityboosting, vitamin-added foods. Some brands have become more healthful. But many manufacturers are promoting a product’s healthful ingredients while playing down its less nutritional qualities. It is a food label sleight-of-hand that Bruce Silverglade of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit advocacy group, calls a “rip-off” for consumers. “There are deceptive claims all over the place: low-fat, highfiber, light. Definitions are used arbitrarily,” Silverglade said. Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), said last year that the creation of a uniform front-of-package symbol would be one of the agency’s priorities in the coming years. But those label changes could take years to go into effect. Until then, be wary of the words and phrases you’re reading in the grocery aisles.

What’s the buzz? “Natural” or “organic” A company can use the term “natural” to mean just about anything. Consumers often assume it implies “organic,” but that’s not the case. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has strict guidelines for a company to meet before it can label a food organic. “Made with whole wheat” If it does not say 100 percent whole wheat or 100 percent whole grain, then be wary: The food may contain only a trivial amount of whole grain. “Support” or “a source of” These are loose terms that insinuate the food helps protect against a popular health concern. If a food says it is an “excellent source of vitamin D,” it may only mean: As a part of a normal diet, in which you get vitamins and minerals, this food will provide a minute amount of vitamin D. “Naturally fruit flavored” Some snacks picture fresh fruit on the front label and state they are “naturally fruit flavored!” But often the real fruit contained in the package comes from a small amount of pear juice concentrate, a highly sugared form of fruit.

M Bacteria on babies depends on delivery

Next week Redmon girl has one of the rarest genetic conditions, Costello syndrome.

VIRTUAL DEMENTIA

CELEBRITY M EDICINE Collapsed lungs are usually treated by removing extra air

By Jessie Schiewe Los Angeles Times

Concern about a newborn’s bacterial flora is not a topic you’re likely to hear discussed in the waiting room of the maternity ward — but that may change. A new study has found that the way in which babies are delivered exposes them to specific bacteria that could play a role in their future health. The study, published online last month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that babies delivered vaginally had microbes on their bodies that resembled their mother’s vaginal bacteria, while babies delivered via caesarean section had bacterial communities like those commonly present on adult skin. The finding is significant, scientists said, because the types of bacteria residing on a newborn influence the development of their digestive and immune systems, and may affect their health later. Though previous studies had suggested that babies delivered by caesarean section lacked the benefit of protective vaginal bacteria, making them more susceptible to certain pathogens, allergies and asthma, no study until now had compared the bacteria on a newborn with those of the mother in a site of the body other than the gut, said Patricia Conway, a professor at the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of New South Wales, Australia, who was not involved in the study. Researchers at the University of Puerto Rico, University of Colorado at Boulder and two Venezuelan institutes sampled bacteria from nine women and their 10 newborns. Four of the babies had been delivered vaginally and six, including one set of fraternal male twins, were delivered via C-section. The mothers were tested one hour before delivery and the babies were tested between 5 minutes and 24 hours after delivery. Samples were collected from the mothers’ skin, oral cavities and vaginas; and from the newborns’ skin, oral cavities and noses. At all the sampled sites, babies delivered vaginally had microbial communities resembling those of their mothers’ vaginas, rich in the bacterial types Lactobacillus, Prevotella or Sneathia. Babies delivered by C-section had bacteria similar to those found on the skin and were not unique to their mothers; the dominant bacteria were Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium and Propionibacterium. Elizabeth Costello, co-lead author of the study, said the results suggest that caesarean-delivered newborns might acquire their initial bacteria from incidental exposures to the hospital environment or from skin contact with another human being. “In vaginal births, it’s pretty clear that the exposure is determined by the vaginal bacteria. But for C-section babies, each baby has a unique exposure to their environment — they were born at a particular time, had a specific doctor, etc. — that can determine the type of bacterial community that they might pick up and develop,” said Costello, who is now a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University. The study also found that, regardless of delivery mode, newborns have the same type of bacterial community at multiple sites on the body, in contrast with the highly differentiated communities found in adults. Conway said that there are ways to enhance the health and immune strength of newborns, regardless of delivery method. “A woman who has had a Csection need not worry, because sometimes they do have to happen, and there are ways that Csection babies can be protected,” she said. Chief among these: breast-feeding. Costello added that the findings, for now, are only relevant to the scientific community: It’s not yet clear how long the microbial differences that were detected persist and how much they influence a baby’s health.

Caregivers get a ‘tour’ of the memory disease

Exploring methods beyond medication

By Leslie Tamura

By Jeanine Stein

Wearing plastic gloves filled with uncooked corn kernels with fingers taped together, Carolyn Young attempts to sign her name during an exercise to mimic the effects of arthritis.

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Put on a necktie. Buckle a belt. Write the names of my family members. And … what? I had five things to do in five minutes, but I couldn’t seem to remember what they were. This was largely because I couldn’t feel, see or move as I usually do. I’d been gloved, goggled, headphoned and otherwise handicapped in an attempt to make me feel like an elderly person whose body and mind have begun to fail. When I couldn’t remember my tasks, I was nervous and embarrassed. I looked around, second-guessed myself. Seeing a pile of laundry, I started folding — but was that one of my tasks? Is this what it feels like to have dementia? “That was frustrating,” one of my classmates, Carolyn Young, 58, said after the simulation. “I didn’t understand the directions. … I was on my own, and I didn’t know what to do.” That’s the idea. Along with 35 employees and associates of the Sunrise Senior Living Community in suburban McLean, Va., I was taking a class for caregivers that its creator calls VDT — the Virtual Dementia Tour. The idea is to simulate memory loss and sensory inhibition, then challenge the student with everyday jobs. As the class began, my hands were put in plastic gloves filled with unpopped popcorn kernels, dulling my fingers’ ability to feel. Taping together the thumb and forefinger of my dominant hand and binding three fingers of my other hand restricted movement and fine motor skills. In other words, staff members told me, this is how it feels to have arthritis. They gave me goggles that limited my peripheral vision, with lenses tinted yellow to mimic the fading color vision of an aging retina. A black dot in the center of each lens made it difficult to see things directly in front of me, as if I had macular degeneration. More corn kernels placed in my shoes simulated the foot pain associated with poor circulation, neuropathy and arthritis. Headphones on my ears played a mash of unclear sounds: radio chatter, background noises, the intermittent blare of an ambulance siren. The recordings were mixed to simulate hearing loss and to increase participants’ confusion, VDT creator P.K. Beville said. “They can’t weed out the relevant and irrelevant stimuli.” Then I was sent to the unfamiliar territory of a typical Sunrise residential room to complete my five tasks. According to the kindly staff, I did “very well.” I put the tie around my neck. I buckled the belt. I wrote down the names of my family. But I

don’t think I was supposed to fold laundry. I think I needed to actually tie the tie. I had been directed to find a belt and loop it through some pants, not around my waist. My family members’ names were barely relevant because, it seems, I was supposed to write a letter to them instead. At least I didn’t get angry. According to Beville, people with middle-stage dementia have lost skills but still have a sense of purpose, so they’re easily upset. “They want to complete things,” she said. “They’re not sure how to complete them, and they’re agitated easily.” VDT participants have the same response. Beville said she has seen some so frustrated they’ve thrown objects or so resigned they’ve simply quit. Some set a dinner table with socks when they couldn’t find napkins. “If normal people are exhibiting these behaviors,” Beville said, “then watching Mrs. Jones with middle-stage Alzheimer’s saying that she’s cold and wrapping

a towel around her doesn’t mean she’s exhibiting bizarre behavior. It’s a coping mechanism.” Beville, who first studied the relationship of caregivers to aging patients in the 1980s as a postgraduate in clinical psychology, has been selling VDT kits since 2003. Sunrise has purchased 50 for many of its facilities in the Southeast. Next month, Sunrise communities in Northern Virginia will host VDT demonstrations for people caring at home for relatives with dementia. Who knows how effective this training is? After I took it, I felt a little silly — though on reflection, it made me consider how hard life must be for someone my grandmother’s age. After her tour, Young — an adviser with A Place for Mom, an online referral service — said she thought VDT would be a “great tool to use with families.” When children are struggling to help an aging parent, she said, “it puts their minds at ease with what they’ve been dealing with.”

Beyond drugs, beyond exercise, beyond simply getting better are other ways to control pain. Typically referred to as complementary alternative medicines, many people consider their use to be common sense. At the top of the list is the ancient practice of meditation. A number of studies suggest it can help people feel less pain. In one study, published in May in the journal Pain, people who had some experience with mindful meditation were subjected to bouts of pain. Those who had more experience with meditating showed less activity in certain parts of their brain as they anticipated pain. The Alexander Technique, which emphasizes body coordination and awareness, was shown to reduce pain in people with chronic or recurring low back pain. In that study, published in the British Journal of Medicine in 2008, 579 patients with lower back pain were randomly assigned to receive normal care, massage, six Alexander Technique lessons or 24 Alexander Technique lessons. Half of each group was also randomly assigned to an exercise program. Those who combined exercise with Alexander Technique lessons had less pain than those in other groups. Video games presented in a

virtual reality format have potential as well, helping children feel less pain while being stuck with an intravenous needle. In that research, some children wore a helmet that covered their head and were shown an engaging game while a control group of kids went through standard care. All children were blocked from seeing their arms. The control group had a fourfold increase in pain intensity compared with the children who watched the video games. Jeffrey Gold, director of the Pediatric Pain Management Clinic at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, presented the study at the American Pain Society’s annual scientific conference last year and says there may be more at work than a significant distraction. Gold is now conducting a study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, that uses functional MRIs to test the effects of virtual reality on the brain. “Virtual reality is not a panacea — you’re going to have to practice this and create new patterns in the brain,” Gold says. “If you’re able to train a person over several sessions, you may change the neurochemistry, and that’s going to have a more permanent effect on the brain’s ability to modulate pain.”

SKIN CARE

EYE CARE Q UESTION : As he has gotten older, my husband’s upper eyelids have become so droopy that I think it is affecting his vision. He says the surgery is just cosmetic. Is there anything that can be done about this?

QUESTION: I am wondering what bug sprays are safe and effective to use for the summer? ANSWER: There are many ingredients and different brands of insect repellent. The two most effective ingredients are DEET and Picaridin. DEET should be used in concentrations up to 50%. Higher concentration DEET is not going to provide increased protection. Once applied, it will provide Carrie Baxter, protection for several hours. Picaridin should be MSPAS, PA-C used in concentrations of 7% to 15% and applied more frequently. Oil of lemon eucalyptus is also registered by the environmental protection agency as being as effective as low concentrations of DEET. Protective clothing is also important to prevent bug bites and potential viruses they may carry. Avoid using combination products including sunscreen and insect repellent. Sunscreen should be applied every few hours. Using a combination product would increase exposure to insect repellent that is not necessary, because it should be applied less frequently. Sunscreens should be applied first and insect repellent second. For additional information on safety of insect repellents, call the National Pesticide Information Center.

A NSWER : The sagging of skin and fatty tissue of the upper eyelids is a progressive process that is quite common as we age. The treatment of the condition is a blepharoplasty where the excess skin and fat is removed in a simple 40 minute procedure that is done as an outpatient. What most people do not know is that the blepharoplasty can be covered by insurance if the drooping lids start to affect the peripheral vision. Your eye doctor should be able to tell you if you would benefit from this procedure. Ida Alul M.D.

SPINE / CHIROPRACTIC QUESTION: My wife is currently suffering from a whiplash injury related to being hit from behind by another car. What can we do to help prevent whiplash injuries? Answer: One of the main preventable risk factors for rear impact crash related whiplash injuries is related to head restraint geometry. When a vehicle is struck in the rear, an occupant suddenly moves forward with the seat, and if the head isn’t supported, it will lag behind the body. This bends and stretches the neck backward Brad Pfeiffer, in a whiplash injury. Seat/head restraints can reduce DC these injuries by keeping the head and body moving together in a rear impact. A properly positioned head restraint should have the top of the restraint at or above the top of the occupants ears, and should also be positioned as close to the back of the head as possible (ideally no more than 2 inches from the back of the head). A seat reclined back too far will increase this distance, as will poor posture. In 2007, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that twothirds of all SUVs, pickup trucks, and minivans did not offer adequate protection against whiplash. They reported that in some pickups especially, the head restraints couldn’t be adjusted enough to provide the right kind of support during a crash. Before buying a new car, truck, or van, do your research to make sure that you’re getting the best protection for your neck. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact our office.

QUESTION: How much vitamin D do we need?

QUESTION: I have heard that aquatic therapy

QUESTION: What are the best questions to ask when looking for someone to do my permanent makeup?

ANSWER: Ensuring that we have enough vitamin

can be helpful for people with chronic pain. I have tried aquatic aerobics, but I felt worse. Is there anything that aquatic physical therapy can offer to help me?

D is one of the things we can do for ourselves to improve our well-being from head to toe. Here are the current recommendations from leading experts: 1. Food. Add eggs, liver, and fish (like tuna and wild salmon) to your diet. Also read product labels for foods fortified with vitamin D, such as milk, orange juice, and cereal. 2. Sunlight: Just 10-15 minutes a day of direct sunlight can help your body make the vitamin D you need. Put the sunscreen on after you have had this amount of exposure. 3. Supplements: Consider a multivitamin, vitamin D pill, or vitamin D drops to boost your levels to the recommended amount. Your physician will advise you on how the appropriate dosage, frequency, and what kind of supplements to take. Contact Touchmark for a schedule of fun in the sun activities.

ANSWER: Yes! Trained physical therapists can assist you with specific, personalized strengthening and endurance exercises in an aquatic environment, which reduces gravity. This means that there is less force on your joints, which reduces arthritic and other pain. Water provides 7 times the resistance of air, so this can be a very efficient medium for exercising, allowing you to achieve more in less time. Similarly, the water offers increased support, which can be very comforting. Zeyla Brandt, P.T.

For folks with balance problems, exercising in a pool is very helpful, as it allows for balance training without the fear from falling. We also offer treatments which allow for gentle passive movement, with none of the discomfort that may be associated with lying on a treatment table. At Healing Bridge Physical Therapy we have a semi-private warm water pool in the clinic which is ideal for these types of treatments. Our 1:1 hour-long treatment sessions provide professional, individualized attention to our patients’ needs.

HEADACHES

PLASTIC SURGERY QUESTION: I have inverted nipples and feel very self conscious. I had them before and also after breast feeding my children. I also am not happy with how large my areolas have become over time. What are my options?

Q U E S T I O N : I get headaches weekly and occasionally I think I get migraines. A friend told me to ask my dentist about my headaches. I can’t figure out what my teeth have to do with my headaches.

ANSWER: Until a few years ago there would have been no reason to consider your dentist as a possible treatment option for your headaches. Fortunately things have changed. Our profession has learned a lot about how ones bite relates to the airway, posture, and muscle harmony. If any part of that system is not in harmony you can be susceptible to many symptoms including headaches. It is a very complex system and requires a lengthy explanation to understand it well. In a nut shell, I use sophisticated computer instrumentation to determine your ideal bite based on relaxed muscles. I consider your airway as well as your posture and how they relate to your bite. I commonly work with other professionals to improve your entire head and neck relationship including physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage therapy. If these efforts are coordinated the benefits can be extremely effective. I hope this brief explanation helps. I also do a community education series where you can hear with much more detail how your headaches can be improved by improving your bite.

areolas are common complaints. Many women have the signs you describe but are reluctant to have them corrected due to the fact that they are embarrassed. Correcting inverted nipples and decreasing the size of the areolas are simple office procedures that are very effective in restoring the normal architecture of the nipple areola complex. Ask your plastic surgeon who has experience with these office procedures.

QUESTION: Is there a link between breast cancer and breast implants? Are mammograms as effective is a person has had implants? ANSWER: In October 2000, a study by the National Cancer Institute was published with over 13,500 women with breast implants and 4,000 women with other types of plastic surgery procedures. This study revealed that Jana VanAmburg, there was no increase in the incident of breast cancer in the implant group compared with the group of women M.D., FACS that had other types of plastic surgery. When compared with the general population of women, there was no increase in cancer in the implant group either. Also, there was no difference in breast cancer regardless of the type of implant that had been placed. These women were followed over a 12 year period, much longer follow-up than previously presented in similar studies. One controversial finding was noted from this study: implant patients have slightly more advanced breast cancer at diagnosis than women without implants. The reason for this is not known. However, this was not statistically significant on analysis and there was no increase in mortality in implant cancer group. Mammograms are as effective in women with implants as those without, but twice as many views are required to adequately visualize the breast tissue.

PA I N M E D I C I N E QUESTION: I have chronic shoulder pain and have been

diagnosed with rotator cuff tendinitis with a partial tear. I have heard about PRP healing torn ligaments and tendons. Might I be a candidate? ANSWER: PRP is known as Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as autologous platelet concentrate. The treatment involves a blood draw, which is put through a machine which removed the platelet rich plasma concentrating Payson Flattery, it 5-6 times the amount normally found in blood. The N.D., D.C., PC injection of this concentrate into areas of injury stimulates a healing response which generally heals partially torn ligaments and tendons. It has also been shown to heal tendinosis, a degenerated tendon, which is the result of long-term tendinitis. It can treat anything from spinal pain to osteoarthritis and tennis elbow. PRP has been performed in our clinic for four years under ultrasonic guidance. PRP is beginning to enter mainstream medicine and is expected to offer an exciting new alternative to chronic pain, surgery, and injury.

QUESTION: How is a fungal toenail treated? A NSWER : Toenail fungus is a very common condition, affecting between 4 and 18 percent of the general population. Patients may notice mild discoloration of the nail only or patients can develop pronounced thickening of the nail. Most toenail dystrophies are fungal in nature but they can also be manifestations of psoriasis, eczema, ischemia (lack of blood flow), trauma, or Kevin Reuter, lichen planus. For that reason, some insurance M.D. companies are requiring definitive diagnosis with a culture prior to initiating treatment. The difficult part about treating toenail infections is that topical antifungal agents are ineffective. That leaves oral agents which can cause liver dysfunction and these agents are quite expensive. Additionally, the incidence of reinfection is quite high, up to 60%, once the medication regimen is completed. Two agents are typically used to treat toenail fungus orally, terbinafine and itraconazole. Both require that you have baseline blood work drawn and then more blood drawn in 6 weeks and again at 3 months to make sure that your liver is tolerating the medication. In my own practice, I discuss this with each patient and we decide on the risks versus benefits of going on the medication, particularly in light of the need for close monitoring while taking the medication with blood work, and the high rate of relapse.

Stress too high? Give it a few years By Warren Wolfe Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Feeling dissatisfied with your life as you approach middle age? A little worried about life at 50? Here’s the good news from a recent study: You’ve probably hit bottom and you’re headed up — possibly to new heights. An analysis of a 2008 Gallup poll, which surveyed more than 340,000 adults ages 18 to 85, suggests an antidote to feelings of stress and worry. It’s not a new car or a new spouse. It’s age. Here’s what to expect as you get older: In general, feelings of wellbeing are pretty high among older teenagers, but fall sharply through age 25, meander a bit for 10 years, then drop off again until about age 50. That’s when things start looking up. By age 75, you may be feeling like a teenager again, at least in your sense of well-being. It keeps getting better until at least age 85, the study says. To researchers’ surprise, the pattern wasn’t much affected by unemployment, lack of a partner, children at home or gender — although women tended to score a little lower than men. Researchers also found that stress and anger declined steeply from the early 20s, worry built until middle age and then

dropped, and sadness was fairly steady throughout adulthood. But feelings of enjoyment and happiness dropped slightly until the mid 50s, rose to previous highs around age 70 and pretty much stayed there. The study was conducted by the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York and published by the National Academy of Sciences. “Why are older people, on average, happier and less stressed than younger people?” the researchers wondered. At this point, they guess, maybe older people gain “increased ‘wisdom’ and emotional intelligence … (and) are more effective at regulating their emotions than younger people.” Lead researcher Prof. Arthur Stone said the answers may lie in our environment, psychology and biology — how we live, what we think about it and how our chemistry responds to that.

Continued from F1 “This is really the first feature of health reform that is really reaching out to a broad set of people across ages and situations,” said Richard Cauchi, health program director at the National Conference of State Legislatures. “It is somewhat of a test of how health reform will do.” So far, it’s too early to tell how well the high-risk pool will do across the country. Oregon and 28 other states have opted to administer the federal pool on their own, while others are letting the federal government run their programs. In Oregon, applications became available Wednesday, according to a release from the Oregon Health Authority. The first enrollees should be able to get benefits beginning in August, according to the release.

High-risk health insurance plans

Comparison

Federal health legislation enacted in March mandated that each state have an insurance program for people with medical problems that made them ineligible for commercial insurance. Some states, including Oregon, have opted to administer the program themselves while some have declined, leaving the federal government to administer those plans.

The federal and state high-risk pools are both intended to cover people who cannot get health insurance elsewhere. But there are some important differences in the plans:

Need for plan The state’s high-risk insurance pool was born out of the high rate of rejection for those applying for individual insurance. (Individual health insurance is purchased by an individual or family, not by an employer.) “We get about one out of four people declined,” said Patrick O’Keefe, a partner at Cascade Insurance Center in Bend. Someone who has been to the chiropractor several times in the past year, been to counseling or had a recent back surgery could easily get declined, O’Keefe said, because the health insurers don’t want to pay for ongoing issues or risk potentially high medical bills. “It doesn’t take much.” People who have been rejected from an insurance company for a medical reason, or who have one of a number of medical conditions that will likely get them rejected, are eligible to apply to the high-risk pool. For many, it is their only option to obtain medical coverage. O’Keefe said he’s had no trouble getting people on the state’s high-risk insurance. “I don’t use the word guaranteed,” he said. But if you are an Oregon resident, can pay the premium and have been declined insurance, “you get the plan.” The federal high-risk pool came about for very similar reasons. Much of the federal health legislation concentrated on ways to increase the number of people with health insurance coverage. Beginning in 2014, heath insurers will be barred from denying people for pre-existing conditions. The federal high-risk pool is a temporary fix that can cover those people who would be denied access to insurance before 2014. Oregon’s high-risk plan has been very successful. Currently, about 14,000 people are enrolled, more than in most other states with such plans. Premiums are expensive, though not as high as in other states. The premium rates are capped at 25 percent above the average price for a similar plan and are currently at 17 percent above the market average, said Jovick.

Still, it costs a significant amount. A 55-year-old person who chooses a deductible of $500 would pay $742 a month. “That’s the problem for the pool,” said Tom Jovick, administrator for the Office of Private Health Partnerships, which manages the state’s high-risk insurance pool and the new federal pool. Of those who leave the program, some become eligible for Medicare, but the rest leave because they cannot afford it. “We do not have a wealthy population,” he said. About 60 percent of the people in the state’s high-risk pool have incomes of less than $35,000 per year, Jovick said.

What it does With the new federal plan, there will be two high-risk plans, one federal and one state. The federal plan has more comprehensive benefits and is cheaper. The new federal law requires that rates be the same as the average market rate. A 55year-old with a $500 deductible on the federal plan would pay $682 each month. Qualifications are different for each plan. For the federal plan, a person must be a U.S. citizen or here legally; the state’s plan requires only Oregon residency.

Next week Study finds that brisk walking and biking help women avoid weight gain.

Watsu Continued from F1 In Watsu, the client is supported by the practitioner, assisted by various floats that can be attached to the legs, the midsection or under the head. For most of the session the individual lies on his or her back, head resting on the arm of the practitioner. The eyes, nose and mouth remain above water, but the ears are below, creating a quiet relaxing environment. The practitioner applies shiatsu pressure points to the face, head, torso and back, and stretches, bends and flexes the torso and limbs. “You can gain so much more motion in the water,” Foxwell said. “Also, it’s like a 3-D table. I can get to places you can’t get to on land.” In addition to holding the weight of the individual, the water provides gentle resistance against the skin and muscles, creating a massage-like effect. Because the water is warm — generally about 95 to 96 degrees — it helps relax muscles and joints, improves circulation and relieves pain. “You like being in the hot tub? You like getting a massage? You’re getting both at the same time,” said Sunnie Phillips, a Watsu provider at Three Sisters Aquatics in Bend. Watsu is often a viable alternative for chronic pain patients who can’t handle standard types of therapy or exercise. Pain often causes the muscles to become hypersensitive and to stiffen up to guard against pain. In the warm water, however, many find those muscles can relax, allowing the body to move freely. “For the people with chronic pain, it feels so good because it’s so painful for them to move on land,” Foxwell said. “It gives them this sense of ‘Wow, I can really move’ because I’m moving them in such extreme positions once they get relaxed. It creates new mapping for their brain.” Movements in the pool, she said, help to reinforce those pathways in the brain, allowing that person to regain some of that motion on land as well. “It doesn’t matter where you learn to do that movement,” Foxwell explained. “It’s just that the body feels it can do that movement, so it loses the fear of doing that movement.”

EXERCISE TIPS

Want to try Watsu?

PILATES

CONTACT: Shoshana Foxwell, Rebound Physical Therapy • 1303 N.E. Cushing Drive #150, Bend • 541-382-7875 Sunnie Phillips, Three Sisters Aquatics Watsu & Massage • 1470 N.E. 1st Street, Bend • 541-330-4797

Pete Erickson / The Bulletin

Watsu provider Shoshana Foxwell, 45, pulls the knee of Megan Perry, 21, of Bend, toward her head during her second Watsu session in the pool at Rebound Physical Therapy’s east-side location. It’s also been used extensively for patients with fibromyalgia and Parkinson’s disease. In the water, Foxwell can bend and twist the body to move various joints. She raises the individual up from below, stretching the spine, or pulls the body through the water by the head, creating side-to-side movement in the spine. She might pull a knee to the head or move a limb through its range of motion. Watsu was recently evaluated in a study with 18 residents of a retirement community, all in their 70s or 80s. After 18 months of undergoing Watsu twice monthly, the seniors reported less pain and emotional

stress, but increased flexibility and ability to relax. Eleven of the 16 seniors who reported less pain said the pain relief lasted for multiple days after their sessions. Watsu has also gained popularity as a form of massage for people without health issues or for recreational and competitive athletes seeking to undo the stresses of training. “Pregnant ladies love it,” Phillips said. “They can lay on their backs weightless, and their bodies can move.” Many health insurance plans will cover Watsu when it is provided in a physical therapy setting, and some plans cover it as

massage therapy. Otherwise, hour-long sessions run $60 to $100. Often it takes a session or two for clients to become relaxed enough for practitioners to move them through more complex motions. “If there’s somebody who has a difficult time with relaxation,” Foxwell said, “if they have a safe space, I’ll tell them to go to that safe space, talk them through that. I’ll engage them with their breathing, so I kind of connect to where that person is at.” Most of her clients will come for Watsu once or twice a week and usually complete the therapy after 12 sessions. “People will usually notice a difference right way,” she said. “If they haven’t noticed a huge difference after two, three, four times, it’s probably not going to work for them.” Markian Hawryluk can be reached at 541-617-7814 or mhawry luk@bendbulletin.com.

Single leg stretch

Deb Bowen, a Rebound Pilates instructor certified by the national organization Pilates Method Alliance, demonstrates some basic Pilates moves. Pilates uses controlled movements to increase strength and flexibility and is particularly focused on the muscles of the torso. This exercise can be done individually or you can try all eight, which are running every other week in The Bulletin through Sept. 23. The single leg stretch strengthens

the biceps and the core muscles in the abdomen. How to do it: Begin sitting with knees bent up to your chest and feet off the floor. Pull the stomach toward the spine and keep abdomen strong (1). Extend one leg out, pushing it purposefully then pulling back in with same controlled movement (2). Switch legs. Controlled movements, not just bicycling, are key in this exercise, Bowen said, to work the hamstring muscles of the leg. — Betsy Q. Cliff, The Bulletin
