Beating the odds, they’ve lived their whole lives with HIV

Chef/dietitian helps Bend-La Pine Schools cook up a better menu

A prized subcommittee chairmanship may be within Oregonian’s reach

By Brooke Minters The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — Last spring, Lafayette Sanders got a call from a friend who was concerned about his reputation. The word on the street, she said, was that he and his girlfriend had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. It was true about Sanders, and he told her so because his friend was so supportive. But Sanders, then 23, also decided that he needed to tell all his friends that he had been HIV-positive — for his entire life. Sanders belongs to a rare group; he was born HIV-positive when he was perinatally infected via his mother either during pregnancy and delivery or breastfeeding. At the time, HIV was a death sentence. Sanders and several thousand other infected babies weren’t expected to live very long. But thanks to more than two dozen drugs, the oldest babies are now reaching 30, and living into uncharted territory. Their challenges are daunting. Along with homework, puberty and just surviving the rough streets of Philadelphia, they’ve dealt with losing sick parents and friends, disclosing their status, engaging in sex with uninfected partners, and enduring medical side effects with unknown consequences.

A recipe for tasty, healthy changes By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

n Friday afternoon, the Bend High prep kitchen was filled with the aroma of baking bread. That’s not atypical for the facility, which is where much of the food served in breakfasts and lunches at Bend-La Pine Schools is made from scratch each day. But on Friday, the district’s three bakers were working with a local chef and dietitian to improve the quality, healthfulness and taste of the breads and baked goods they create each night. It’s part of a months-long push in the Bend-La Pine Schools to help those working in school kitchens all over the district im-

prove their culinary skills and, in turn, create new and tasty menu items that students will enjoy. Garrett Berdan, a registered dietitian and chef based in Bend, has worked with at least 16 nutrition employees this summer and fall on knife skills and other training, and helped develop new recipes for the district to add to its menus. The result? Several new recipes made completely from scratch, including an orange sauce for stir fry, macaroni and cheese, nacho cheese sauce and a turkey gravy, all of which have been incorporated into lunch menus this year.

MEXICO CITY — It was at turns defiant and deferential, part plea and part plaint, a message as much to the drug gangs with a firm grip on Ciudad Juarez, the bloodiest city in Mexico’s drug battles, as to the authorities and their perceived helplessness. “We want you to explain to us what you want from us,” the front-page editorial in El Diario in Ciudad Juarez asked the cartel leaders. “What are we supposed to publish or not publish, so we know what to abide by. You are at this time the de facto authorities in this city because the legal authorities have not been able to stop our colleagues from falling.” In Mexico’s drug wars, it is hard to pinpoint new lows as the atrocities and frustrations mount. But Ciudad Juarez belongs in its own category, with thousands killed each year and the exodus of tens of thousands of residents. The question now is whether anyone there will dare to continue documenting the city’s turmoil. See Mexico / A3

WASHINGTON — After Democrats racked up huge majorities in 2008 and Republicans were pushed to the margins of the U.S. House, U.S. Rep. Greg Walden was fond of quoting the political truism that “elections have consequences.” Two years later, this fall’s congressional elections could have even bigger consequences for the clout of Walden, RHood River. As a member of both the House Republican leadership and an architect of its national campaign strategy, analysts say Walden will have more political influence and policymaking clout if the GOP re- Rep. Greg gains control of Walden, Rthe House this Hood River November. Paul Unger, a Republican lobbyist and former staff director of the House Agriculture Committee, said the principle is simple. “Horses that do work get fed first,” Unger said, crediting the line to former Illinois Secretary of State Paul Powell. “Greg will be in a very good position to have an important committee position.” Walden, for his part, envisions using that influence to scrutinize President Barack Obama’s agenda and push forward his longstalled forestry bills.

Mehran Rafaat, left, hangs out with her sisters, twins Benaf sha and Behishta, outside their family home in Qala-e-Naw, Afghanistan. Mehran, 6, was formerly called Manoush and is regarded as a boy by her family. Such children are called “bacha posh,” which means “dressed up as a boy” in Dari.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Six-year-old Mehran Rafaat is like many girls her age. She likes to be the center of attention. She is often frustrated when things do not go her way. Like her three older sisters, she is eager to discover the world outside the family’s apartment in their middle-class Kabul neighborhood. But when their mother, Azita Rafaat, dresses the children for school, there is one important difference. Mehran’s sisters put on dresses and head scarves. For Mehran, it’s pants, a shirt and a necktie, then a pat from her mother on her short black hair. After that, Mehran is out the door — as a boy. There are no statistics about how many Afghan girls masquerade as boys. But when asked, Afghans of several generations can often tell a story of a female relative, friend, neighbor or co-worker who grew up disguised as a boy. See Gender / A4
