Property tax law may be modified Lawmakers reviewing Measure 50 with an eye toward ending disparities

By Nick Budnick The Bulletin

SALEM — Harold Slater, 77, lives in a northwest Bend home right on the Deschutes River that the county assessor says has a real market value of $1.623 million, on which the retiree paid about $5,187 in property taxes last year.

Boozell, who did not know Tuesday that there was a warrant for his arrest, said much of his criminal record stems from what could be described as a bitter custody dispute with his former girlfriend, with whom he had five kids.

Court records show Boozell has criminal convictions dating back to 1998 — not all related to the custody battle — and has been arrested on charges ranging from assault to hit-and-run and resisting arrest.

very Central Oregon school district except Crook County saw its number of homeless students rise during the 2009-10 school year, according to statistics released today by the Oregon Department of Education.

Regionally, about 4.2 percent, or 1,306 of all public school students in Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties were homeless during the 2009-10 school year.

The state considers kids homeless if they are living in hotels, shelters, in cars or outdoors, or if their families have doubled up in other people’s homes at some point during the school year.

Statewide, 19,040 students were homeless during the 2009-10 school year. That’s a 5.5 percent increase over the 2008-09 school year. In total, about 3.4 percent of the state’s more than 559,000 students were counted as homeless last school year.

WASHINGTON — By Thursday, the six-month anniversary of the enactment of the health care overhaul, many of the law’s provisions will be in effect. Most consumers, however, won’t see any changes until after Jan. 1, when their new health plan year begins.

Meanwhile, employees will be getting ready for fall’s “open enrollment” period, HEALTH when they pick their health CARE coverage for REFORM the following year. In addition, people who buy their own health insurance will be researching their options. Medicare beneficiaries will be able to change their coverage later this year if they want.

Here’s a look at how the law affects people who get their coverage at work, buy their own health insurance or are enrolled in Medicare.

I get my coverage through work, and the “open enrollment” period for next year is approaching. I’d like to keep my current health plan. Will the new law affect it?

Your plan will feature some new consumer protections. For example, it won’t be able to set a lifetime limit on coverage. If you have an adult child up to age 26 who can’t get health insurance at a job, you’ll be able to keep him or her on your health plan. These changes kick in for plan years that begin on or after Thursday.

NEW YORK — Something happened when Kisha Moorehead peered into the bowl of live worms.

She was midway through a five-course Mexican feast at the Brooklyn Kitchen, a meal engineered to introduce diners to the wonders of edible insects.

Throughout the first couple of courses (yucca frites dotted with

mealworms, a smoked corn custard sprinkled with crispy moth larvae), Moorehead’s response had been muted. Earlier that evening, in fact, she and her date, Harold Bradley, had considered fleeing the event, even though they’d spent $85 each.

“We kept asking ourselves: ‘Are you ready? Do you want to turn back?’ ” Bradley said.

But they stayed.

Heat too much for reefs

By Justin Gillis New York Times News Service

This year’s extreme heat is putting the world’s coral reefs under such severe stress that scientists fear widespread die-offs, endangering not only the richest ecosystems in the ocean but also fisheries that feed millions of people.

From Thailand to Texas, corals are reacting to the heat stress by bleaching, or shedding their color and going into survival mode. Many have already died, and more are expected to do so in coming months. Computer forecasts of water temperature suggest that corals in the Caribbean may undergo drastic bleaching in the next few weeks.

What is unfolding this year is only the second known global bleaching of coral reefs. Scientists are holding out hope that this year will not be as bad, overall, as 1998, the hottest year in the historical record, when an estimated 16 percent of the world’s shallow-water reefs died. But in some places, including Thailand, the situation is looking worse than in 1998.

Scientists say the trouble with the reefs is linked to climate change. For years they have warned that corals, highly sensitive to excess heat, would serve as an early indicator of the ecological

distress on the planet caused by the buildup of greenhouse gases.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the first eight months of 2010 matched 1998 as the hottest January to August period on record. High ocean temperatures are taxing the organisms most sensitive to them, the shallow-water corals that create some of the world’s most vibrant and colorful seascapes.

Prior cases of bleaching Serious regional bleaching has occurred intermittently since the 1983 disaster. It is clear that natural weather variability plays a role in overheating the reefs, but scientists say it cannot, by itself, explain what has become a recurring phenomenon.

“It is a lot easier for oceans to heat up above the corals’ thresholds for bleaching when climate change is warming the baseline temperatures,” said C. Mark Eakin, who runs a program called Coral Reef Watch for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “If you get an event like El Niño or you just get a hot summer, it’s going to be on top of the warmest temperatures we’ve ever seen.”

Democrats fighting election battles ask environmentalists: ‘Where are you guys?’

By Richard Simon and Tom Hamburger McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Environmentalists who provided money, zeal and manpower to Democrats in 2008 are demoralized this campaign cycle, further fraying the coalition that sent Barack Obama to the White House and gave the party majorities in both houses of Congress. Meanwhile, energy and business interests have ramped up spending, hoping in part to halt climate-change legislation promised by Obama but stalled in the Senate.

vote for climate change. Where are they? Where’s the cavalry?” asked one Democratic Party official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk publicly.

At a private meeting of congressional Democrats last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., discussed the funding disparity between Republicanbacked groups and those who had been expected to help Democrats.

One participant said Pelosi told her fellow Democrats that she had asked environmental leaders, “Where are you guys?”

Trading barbs

Challenges

Key donors, citing the fate of the global warming legislation, are not contributing as much money as they did in 2008. “One of them said, ‘I thought our side won the last election, and it doesn’t seem to make any difference,’ ” said Rodger Schlickeisen, president and CEO of the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.

At the same time, some Democratic leaders accuse environmentalists of failing to back members in tough districts who took a risk voting for controversial legislation to cap carbon emissions.

“They promised to support candidates who took a tough

The environmentalists’ lack of enthusiasm presents yet another challenge to Democrats, who are struggling to keep control of Congress. The environment has become a potent campaign issue, with GOP candidates downplaying humans as a cause of global warming, while leading advocates of climate-change legislation, such as Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., face strong challenges.

The Chamber of Commerce has begun running ads in multiple states criticizing candidates who voted for cap-and-trade, and announced plans to spend $75 million on campaigns this year,

Millions travel to our national forests, parks and wilderness areas each year, with visitation in July 2010 to Yellowstone National Park marking an all-time high. What some may not realize is that each of us owns a stake in approximately 650 million acres of the nation’s lands. In effect, the property deed for almost one-third of our country lists the American people as owners.

On Saturday, the congressionally chartered National Environmental Education Foundation will oversee National Public Lands Day, to commemorate our mutually owned acreage and to inspire us to visit and appreciate these places. But the event is not only a celebration, it’s an opportunity to take care of what we own, just as we mow our yards, rake leaves or tend our gardens.

Over the summer, while many of us vacationed in our parks and wilderness, officials from the Obama administration toured the country, visiting small towns and big cities, to hear firsthand what Americans want for the future of our public lands. In places from Albuquerque to Concord and Missoula to Orlando, people shared their ideas. This effort, termed “America’s Great Outdoors listening tour,” will culminate in November with a report and recommendations to President Obama, based on lessons learned about how best to be good stewards of our public land.

It’s a big job, and an important one. Not only are we, and our public stewards, taking care of places like the Grand Canyon or the Everglades today, we’re also trying hard to make sure we leave them in good shape for future Americans.

up from $50 million in 2008.

A number of environmentalists acknowledge that fundraising is challenging this year, but say it is because of the tough economic conditions and that they expect to be outspent by business groups.

Allies in peril Sierra Club Chairman Carl Pope contends that environmentalists will become fully engaged.

“The mood in the country is pretty grim, but I don’t think that means environmentalists are just going to stay home and pout,” he said. He points to California, where environmental groups are raising funds to fight Proposition 23, the ballot measure that would suspend the state’s landmark global warming law.

Environmental activists fear a Republican takeover of the House would cost allies such as Reps.

Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Edward Markey, D-Mass., their committee chairmanships. “It’s hard to imagine legislative progress on clean energy and the environment,” said Dan Weiss, who follows the politics of the environment for the left-leaning Center for American Progress. “A change in the congressional majority will bring an assault on the EPA and environmental regulation.”

T S ‘Don’t ask’ bill stays bottled up in the Senate

MEDAL OF HONOR AWARDED POSTHUMOUSLY

By David M. Herszenhorn

Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Etchberger died on secret mission in Laos

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON —The Senate voted Tuesday against taking up a major military bill that would allow the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, disappointing advocates of allowing gay Americans to serve openly in the armed forces but leaving open the likelihood of a vote later this year.

President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have all said they favor repealing the 17-year-old policy. And the House has already approved legislation that would allow the Pentagon to rescind the policy, while the legal fight is advancing in the federal courts. But Senate Republicans voted unanimously to block debate on the bill, the annual authorization of military programs, after the majority leader, Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he would attach a number of the Democrats’ election-year priorities to it while also moving to limit the amendments offered by Republicans.

The vote was 56-43, with Democrats falling short of the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster and bring the bill to the floor. Both Oregon senators, Democrats Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, supported rolling back “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

Wyden also lost out on a chance to vote on one of his prized efforts: a bill to end the arcane Senate procedure called the secret hold. Holds allow any individual senator to block legislation or nominees from advancing and require 60 votes to defeat. Secret holds are made anonymously.

Wyden had worked for years to end the practice, and thought he had scored a victory when Reid had promised that Wyden’s proposal would receive a vote as part of the Defense bill.

In a Senate speech after the vote, Wyden lamented the lost opportunity to end the practice.

“Continued use of secret holds is an abuse of secrecy by the Senate, and there is no better time to end this undemocratic process than through an amendment to the Defense bill,” he said. “With colleagues on both sides of the aisle determined finally to get this done, I believe we will get it done, Mr. President, when we get an open debate.”

This story includes reports from Bulletin reporter Keith Chu.

Health care Continued from A1 If your employer makes significant changes, such as cutting benefits or raising your out-ofpocket costs beyond a specific amount, the plan is considered new and must include a wider set of consumer protections.

Patients will get, for example, certain preventive services such as breast cancer screenings and cholesterol tests without paying deductibles or co-payments.

I’m a small-business owner.

Do I have to offer coverage to my workers this fall? If I do, will the government help me pay for it?

No business owner is required to offer coverage.

However, small businesses with 25 or fewer full-time employees who earn an average yearly salary of $50,000 or less will qualify for a tax credit of up to 35 percent of the cost of premiums. The credit increases to 50 percent in 2014 for most small employers. To qualify for the credits, businesses must cover at least 50 percent of the cost of workers’ insurance.

Starting in 2014, businesses with 50 or more employees that don’t provide health care coverage and have at least one fulltime worker who receives subsidized coverage in the health insurance exchanges will have to pay a fee of up to $2,000 per fulltime employee.

I buy my own health insurance. How will the health law affect my coverage?

For policy years that start after Thursday, all health insurance policies in the individual market will be barred from canceling coverage once you get sick. Insurers will be prohibited from setting lifetime limits on your coverage.

The plans also must allow you to keep an adult child up to age 26 on your health plan if he or she can’t get coverage through a job.

New policies can’t deny coverage for children up to age 19 based on pre-existing medical conditions. “Grandfathered” plans can, however.

Other provisions of the law will kick in later. For example, as of 2014, insurers won’t be able to refuse to cover adults who have pre-existing medical conditions.

42 years later, bravery under fire is honored

By Scott Wilson The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — At a secret military installation on a mountaintop in Laos more than 40 years ago, Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Richard Etchberger fought to save the lives of three wounded soldiers, only to be fatally wounded as the helicopter that carried his men to safety came under fire as it lifted off.

On Tuesday, President Barack Obama awarded Etchberger the Medal of Honor for his “conspicuous gallantry” on the morning of March 11, 1968, at that “small base above the clouds.” His three sons received the nation’s highest military honor on their father’s behalf.

“Although it’s been 42 years, it’s never too late to do the right thing,” Obama told several hundred of Etchberger’s friends, military comrades, family members and senior administration officials who had gathered in the East Room of the White House for the somber medal ceremony.

Obama used the occasion to remind the nation of the sacrifices being made today by members of the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan, among other places, as well as by their families.

He also acknowledged the bitterness that greeted many U.S. service members returning from Southeast Asia decades ago, a lack of gratitude he called “a disgrace that must never happen again.”

pand under the law.

As of late August, 1 million Medicare beneficiaries had received $250 checks to help cover prescription drug costs in what’s known as the doughnut hole, the gap in coverage in which beneficiaries must pay the full cost of their prescriptions until catastrophic coverage kicks in.

Starting next year, beneficiaries will receive 50 percent discounts on brand name drugs and 7 percent discounts on generic drugs while they’re in the coverage gap. The new law closes the gap entirely by 2020.

Also, beginning next year, Medicare beneficiaries won’t have to pay co-payments or deductibles on many preventive health care services, including diabetes and cervical cancer screenings. Medicare also will pay for an annual wellness visit to the doctor.

To help pay for the health overhaul, Congress is cutting payments to Medicare Advantage plans, beginning the year after next. No basic Medicare benefits will be lost, but some Medicare Advantage insurers could decide to stop offering additional benefits, such as coverage for eyeglasses or gym memberships.

Americans among 9 people killed in Afghanistan helicopter crash KABUL, Afghanistan — A helicopter carrying international troops crashed in a rugged section of Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing nine service members. A “large number” of Americans were among the dead, according to a senior military official in Washington, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Three people were injured.

The coalition would not disclose the helicopter’s mission, and the cause of the crash was not immediately clear. NATO said there were no reports of enemy fire in the early morning hours in the Daychopan district of Zabul province, where the crash took place.

So far this year, at least 524 U.S. and NATO forces have been killed in Afghanistan, surpassing the 504 killed last year. This year has been the deadliest for international forces since the war began in 2001.

U.N. gets new financial pledges to help meet anti-poverty goals

Pablo Martinez Monsivais / The Associated Press

Richard Etchberger, son of Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Richard Etchberger, accepts his father’s Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama at a White House ceremony on Tuesday. Master Sgt. Etchberger, shown below in 1968, received the honor for his heroic actions in combat in Laos on March 11, 1968.

The bravery displayed by Etchberger on the Laotian mountain top almost went unrecognized, given the secrecy surrounding U.S. military operations there.

Cory Etchberger was 9 when he and his mother were summoned to the Pentagon to be told that his father was a hero and that he had died in an overseas war — in Vietnam, Cory assumed.

Not until decades later did he and his brothers, Richard Etchberger and Steve Wilson, learn that their father had died in Laos.

The U.S. military project there had been declassified, and the missions of those like Etchberger could finally be acknowledged.

Bugs Continued from A1 At some point during dinner, a bowl of squirming wax moth larvae was passed around.

“They’re moving,” said Moorehead, 38. “Oh, I want to try that!”

Suddenly almost trembling with excitement, she stuck her fingers into the bowl, grabbed one of the worms, popped it into her mouth and munched down. She closed her eyes.

She seemed to swoon.

Moorehead, who has such a potent phobia about the animal kingdom that she refuses even to pet dogs and cats — well, after having ingested that worm, it was clear that she had crossed a threshold.

“I’m so glad I did it,” she said. “Because that’s why I

came here. I overcame something. If I can do this, I can do anything.”

Phil Ross, the San Franciscobased chef and artist who put together this and other insect smorgasbords, said he sees that kind of reaction all the time.

“People barely need help over the hump,” he said. “As soon as they taste them and they realize that the flavor is actually really good, all the other stuff just goes out the window very fast, and a whole lot of other things start entering. Transgression of one taboo leads to all kinds of other possibilities.”

Ross, a wiry and intense 44year-old, raises many of the worms in his San Francisco apartment.

He said his own doors of perception were blasted open about 20 years ago, when he was traveling through countries like Malawi, Zimbabwe and Madagascar.

Money-laundering investigation reaches into Vatican Bank ROME — Italian monetary authorities said Tuesday that they had impounded $30 million from the Vatican bank and placed its top two officers under investigation in connection with a money-laundering inquiry.

In a statement, the Vatican expressed “perplexity and surprise” that the bank’s chairman, Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, and its director general, Paolo Cipriani, had been placed under investigation. It added that it had the “greatest trust” in the two men and that it had been working for greater transparency in its finances.

— From wire reports

These were places where snacking on insects “was the most normal thing in the world,” he said.

“People would eat them right out of the ground.”

In most cultures outside of North America and Western Europe, tiny multilegged creatures are a delicacy, and an important source of protein.

Get Zimmern on the topic of bug-eating and he, like many other evangelists for the practice, can sound like Timothy Leary touting the consciousnessexpanding properties of LSD. “Because the psychological handicap is so intense in our culture when it comes to food,” Zimmern said in a phone interview, “for people who flip the light switch and head on down the hallway with alternative foods, the bliss factor is quadrupled.”

UNITED NATIONS — A three-day summit to push global leaders to meet U.N. goals to significantly reduce poverty by 2015 wraps up today with new financial pledges from countries, though there’s no certainty there will be enough money and political commitment to meet the targets.

World leaders are reviewing efforts to implement anti-poverty goals adopted at a summit in 2000, including ensuring universal primary education, halting and reversing the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and cutting child and maternal mortality — all by 2015. More than 140 heads of state are attending the summit, which started Monday.

Record

Homeless

Continued from A1 None of the other candidates running for Bend City Council has a criminal record, according to an Oregon Judicial Department database.

“This is not about me being a criminal,” Boozell said. “I’m a father who wants to be with his children. It’s so frustrating when you have your children taken by force.”

Since 2001, Boozell has violated a number of restraining orders that stated he couldn’t be within close proximity of his ex-girlfriend or his children. He claims he was the victim of a judicial system fraught with restraining order abuse and a bias against men who want custody of their children.

“Our system is really out of balance,” Boozell said. “Every time I quote, un-quote, ‘violated my restraining order’ was when I was trying to see my kids.”

Continued from A1 Bend-La Pine Schools counted 799 homeless students in its district, up from 709 in 2008-09. The school district now counts about 5.1 percent of its school population as homeless, a record high.

In 2003-04, when the district began the annual count, just 2 percent of its students were identified as homeless.

Recent troubles His most recent run-in with the law came in November when he was waiting for a court hearing. According to police reports and court records, Boozell tried to make contact with one of his children when a man stepped in and said the kids didn’t want to see him. Boozell then punched the man in the left side of the neck, the report states, before being arrested.

Boozell tells the story differently. He said that while he was trying to approach one of his kids, a man he described as his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend lunged at him and hit him in the chest. Boozell said he was simply trying to slap the man’s hand away and missed and struck him in the face.

After pleading guilty to violating a restraining order and misdemeanor assault — something Boozell said he did so he wouldn’t risk going to prison for 1½ years — Boozell was placed on probation and told to seek anger control treatment and a mental health evaluation.

In March, Boozell’s probation officer filed paperwork stating he failed to comply with the conditions the court placed on him, and the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office asked a judge to revoke his probation and issue a warrant for his arrest.

Boozell said the reason he didn’t comply with the probation was because he didn’t want to fill out a monthly report that he felt was redundant since it asked for much of the same information.

Court records state he became “loud and argumentative” about the paperwork and argued with people in the probation monitoring office. Boozell claims it is not true.

Prior history He was convicted of another misdemeanor assault charge in Lake County in 1999 after getting into a fight with a neighbor. According to court records, Boozell and another man got into an argument while the man was on a roof doing repairs. Boozell then allegedly climbed to the roof and “repeatedly hit the victim in the face and head.”

Boozell said the fight wasn’t as bad as records indicated. He said the incident began with an argument, and when he climbed to the roof, the other man raised a hammer, causing Boozell to act in self defense. He did admit that dispute occurred because of a “lack of maturity on both sides.”

Other crimes Boozell has been convicted of include misdemeanor hit-and-run of property and resisting arrest after an accident in 1998.

Boozell said he hopes voters can take into account the circumstances surrounding his convictions and can look past his criminal background when making a decision on Nov. 2. He said he considers himself even-keeled and peaceful, and hopes to bring that approach to the council.

“Being convicted of a crime doesn’t mean you’re necessarily guilty of a crime,” he said. “I’m not a violent man. I am not a man without self-control.”

Mark Moseley, who is running against Boozell, said he did not want to comment on his opponent’s criminal history. Incumbent Mark Capell was unavailable for comment.

D.J.’s story D.J. Woods, 9, is one of those students.

D.J. and his dad, Donnie Woods, 46, moved into the Bethlehem Inn about three weeks ago. The pair moved from California earlier this year to live with Woods’ brother. When they had to move out of his home, they found themselves with nowhere else to go.

D.J. attends fourth grade at Lava Ridge Elementary and plays football at the school. He said the transition has mostly been easy, although he misses his friends.

He does have a favorite pastime at his new school, though.

“I get to play kickball,” he said.

Woods said four years ago he owned his own home and worked as a house painter in the summer and at grocery stores in the winter. But that work dried up. He’s been looking for work since arriving in Bend, volunteering, and participating in workshops with WorkSource Bend, an Oregon employment department program that helps unemployed people get connected with employers

C OV ER S T OR I ES and training. But so far, he’s still out of work.

“It’s all about taking care of the kids, whatever it takes,” Woods said.

Woods’ experience is mirrored around the region.

Tracking the students Only four districts statewide have a higher number of homeless students than Bend-La Pine; of those districts, only Medford has a larger percentage of homeless students.

Redmond also saw its homeless numbers increase, to 313 of its more than 7,000 students.

That’s nearly 4.5 percent of the district’s student body.

Martha Hinman, the student services director for Redmond School District, believes the district’s increased numbers are due both to an increase in homelessness in the area and to the district improving its tracking of homeless students.

“What we’re seeing is a trend of families moving in together,” Hinman said. “We have a lot of families that move frequently, and just being able to keep up with those moves is difficult sometimes.”

Finding homeless families can be a challenge. Some districts rely on the Family Access Network to help them figure out which families might be homeless, then follow up to ensure those families are receiving the services they need. Others, like Culver’s homeless liaison, sometimes go door-to-door trying to figure out which students might qualify as homeless.

Dona Bolt, the Oregon Department of Education’s homeless education specialist, said keeping local homeless liaisons trained is a constant challenge. Bolt said there’s a great deal of guidance given by the state and federal government to help homeless liaisons track down families and get them the help they need.

“One of the things in the law is that the district needs to post posters of some kind and have brochures that” remind families with housing instability that their children have the right to attend school and connect them with area homeless liaisons, she said.

“That’s one of our main tools.”

Hinman noted that homeless students often come to school anxious and not ready to learn.

“There’s that anxiety of, ‘Where will I be when I get home?’ ” Hinman said. “If they aren’t coming to school with that foundation and stability and knowing they have someplace to go after school, they’re not paying attention to what’s happening, their education becomes secondary.”

The community-schools model Redmond has instituted in the district, which includes afterschool programs, has helped ensure those students’ needs are met, Hinman said.

Other districts Elsewhere in Deschutes County, which had an unemployment rate of 14.8 percent in July, Sisters saw its homeless student population increase to about 2.6 percent, with 36 students counted during the 2009-10 school year. That’s up

from 2008-09, when Sisters had 24 homelesss students.

Sisters Superintendent Jim Golden said he thinks the region is doing a better job of counting the students but is also seeing an increase. “Given the economy, given the problems people are having with joblessness and with upside-down mortgages, we do have more people who are homeless,” he said.

In Jefferson County, which in July had an unemployment rate was 14.5 percent, the homeless student population also increased. Jefferson County School District counted 67 students, or 2.3 percent of its 2,905 students.

That was up from 19 in 200809. At the time, Superintendent Rick Molitor said he was making adjustments to ensure the district identified all its homeless students.

Culver School District’s homeless population increased during the 2009-10 school year as well, from 1.6 percent in 2008-09 to 6.6 percent last year. According to Stefanie Garber, the superintendent of Culver School District, those 43 students primarily live in substandard housing or are in families that have doubled up to live together.

Garber said the Culver community has been fortunate as new groups are helping families in need, among them a group in Crooked River Ranch called The Lord’s Ranch Hands. Those groups have provided school supplies and other necessities. “It’s a lot of teamwork to meet all the needs,” she said.

Only Crook County School District saw a drop in its number

of homeless students, a juxtaposition to the county’s high unemployment rate. In July, the county had the highest unemployment rate in the state, at 17.7 percent.

But Crook County counted only 48 homeless students in its district, down from 2008-09’s 58 homeless students and 2007-08’s 98 homeless students.

Dennis Kostolecky, Crook County School District’s curriculum director, was surprised to see the district’s homeless numbers decrease again this year. He serves as homeless liaison along with another employee, and relies mostly on word-of-mouth and information from school office managers to determine which students are homeless.

Kostolecky said he could only speculate about why the district’s homeless population decreased.

“I’m thinking that we have lost students and many have moved out of our area probably as a result of high unemployment rate,” he said.

Sticking together Woods said if he didn’t have D.J., he wouldn’t be as worried about making ends meet again.

“If it was just me I’m sure I wouldn’t take it so hard. But I’ve got him depending on me,” Woods said, pointing at D.J. “The other day he asked me what was wrong, and I said I was concerned about what would happen. And he said, ‘Everything will be OK, Daddy. I trust you.’ ” Sheila G. Miller can be reached at 541-617-7831 or at smiller@bendbulletin.com.

Record heat spawns stronger hurricanes

WHO PAYS MORE IN PROPERTY TAXES?

Bloomberg News The four major Atlantic hurricanes that spun toward the Caribbean in the past month were fueled by record warm seas and formed in an unprecedented 20 days. With 10 weeks left in the hurricane season, more may be coming.

The storms that were born off west Africa gathered strength by absorbing the ocean’s heat and

Harold Slater, top, 77, lives right on Mirror Pond. The county assessor says his home has a real market value of $1.623 million, and the retiree’s 2009 tax bill was $5,187. Bill Shaw, 79, above, owns a Mountain High home in southeast Bend that is worth about a fourth as much as Slater’s property, or $457,000, according to the assessor’s office. But Shaw’s 2009 property tax bill was more than Slater’s, at $5,256.

Property Continued from A1 “I think we need to do better than the current system,” he said. “I think it’s very difficult to explain to people why similar properties are taxed at different amounts.”

“I think we need to do better than the current system. I think it’s very difficult to explain to people why similar properties are taxed at different amounts.”

Why the disparities?

— Scot Langton, Deschutes County assessor

For more than a decade, landowners’ taxes have been disconnected from the actual value of their house, business or land thanks to two constitutionchanging ballot measures.

The second initiative, Measure 50, modified the earlier one and required that a person’s property taxes climb no more than 3 percent a year, to ensure predictability.

But market value sometimes climbs faster than 3 percent. So assessors use what’s called the taxable “assessed” value of a home — not market value — to calculate taxes. Under Measure 50, assessed value amounts to 90 percent of what the property was worth in 1995 — plus no more than a 3 percent increase each year since then.

As a result, homeowners like Harold Slater — who have seen their market value skyrocket over the years, even as assessed value climbs only slowly — pay only a fraction of what they would if taxes were pegged to real market value.

Slater’s property was worth about $304,000 in 1995. Today, thanks to a 3-percent-a-year increase, its assessed value — the figure he pays taxes on — is about $338,000, a fifth of what the assessor’s office says is its real market value.

The real market value has climbed dramatically because his land is riverfront property downtown, with a great view.

“I’ve been fortunate, and I know that,” Slater said.

Shaw today has almost the exact same assessed value as Slater, because both are indexed to 1995. But Shaw’s Mountain High land value has not gone up nearly as fast as Slater’s.

Lawmakers weigh in State Sen. Chris Telfer, RBend, said she saw the law in action while serving as a Bend city councilor, and has decided it needs to be changed.

“I like the fact that we tried to put a lid on rampant increases on property taxes, but we’ve got to do it so it’s more uniform and more fair,” she said.

She noted that the inequities are not just between taxpayers, they are between cities as well.

The law allows new homes to get tax breaks that give them an advantage over older homes, so communities that have a lot of construction and growth, like Bend, are able to collect less, Telfer said.

“I don’t believe most Oregonians understand our tax system, and I know they don’t understand that the guy next door is probably paying a whole lot less in taxes if his home is newer and worth more,” she added.

Telfer is not alone. Sen. Ginny Burdick, D-Portland, the chairwoman of the finance committee, has long been pushing for the law to be reformed.

Burdick said disparities like those in Bend are “very common. ... It’s a huge problem that’s getting more troublesome every year.”

Lawmakers seeking to reform the law may have some surprising allies, such as Don McIntyre, the prominent anti-tax activist and statewide ballot measure veteran. McIntyre says he’d be willing to help repeal Measure 50.

“If a guy is living in a $1.6 million (home) and he’s only pay-

ing 5,000 bucks (in taxes) that’s a miscarriage of property tax justice,” he said. “The guy living in the million-six house, I don’t want to stick it to him, either — but if we’re going to base taxes on value it should be uniform.”

McIntyre stressed that any fix should be phased in and not lead to any drastic increases in taxes for individual homeowners; also, it should lead to fewer property taxes collected by government overall.

“You’d have to sell it to the voter,” he said. “I don’t want to see taxes go up.”

To fix, or not to fix Any move to fix or repeal Measure 50 would have to not only survive the Legislature, but voters as well.

And it could face opposition from Bill Sizemore, the conservative ballot measure proponent who helped Measure 50 become law. He said the law is being scapegoated unfairly, adding that he’s skeptical that a Democrat-controlled Legislature could produce anything that he could support.

“They’re not really looking for fairness — they’re looking for how much more money can they extract from taxpayers,” he said.

However, Bend residents Slater and Cannon, who are paying a far lower tax rate on their property than Shaw, said they would support a reasonable fix.

“I’m certainly in favor of fairness,” said Cannon. “I’m retired now and living on Social Security. I couldn’t handle (paying) too much more. But yeah, if someone who has the exact same (property value) is paying that much more, I can’t see how that is right.”

Slater, for his part, said that reforming the law sounds like “a practical notion to put on the table. In the years to come it’ll probably mean that taxes like mine will be going up, but ... other people’s taxes might not.”

North Korea sets date for key leadership meeting New York Times News Service SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea has announced that the ruling Workers’ Party will hold a major gathering next week, the first such congress in 30 years and a meeting that could signal the formal designation of Kim Jong Il’s youngest son as his heir apparent.

North Korea said the conference to elect the country’s “supreme leadership body” would be held in the capital, Pyongyang, on Tuesday.

“It’s not 100 percent certain, because North Korea remains a very special country, but I would say it’s 99 percent sure that Kim Jong Un will be confirmed as the

Umpqua Bank alters overdraft procedure PORTLAND — Umpqua Bank says it will halt a practice that consumer advocates, customers and at least one federal judge claimed artificially inflated banking revenues.

In a Sept. 16 letter to customers, Ric Carey, Umpqua executive vice president for community banking, said the Portland-based bank will change the order in which it processes and posts debit transactions to checking accounts, The Oregonian reported.

Transactions will be ordered from smallest to largest when made by check, debit or wire transfer, online, or at ATMs and point-of-sale locations such as stores.

Previously, the bank could reorder the transactions from largest to smallest. Consumer advocates argue such reordering is unfair when a large transaction exceeds the account balance and then overdraft fees are charged for each subsequent smaller transaction.

Big banks defended the practice, saying customers wanted their larger transactions processed first.

Umpqua’s letter said, “There is no policy that is favorable in every instance.”

Housing starts jump 10.5% in August WASHINGTON — Housing starts surged 10.5 percent in August to the highest level since spring, but the activity was driven by a sharp spike in apartment construction, government data showed.

Housing starts rose in August to an annualized rate of 598,000, compared with a revised 0.4 percent increase in July, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected housing starts to drop to 535,000 on a seasonally adjusted basis.

While the report seemed to point to an upturn in the weak U.S. housing market, most economists downplayed the better-than-expected number.

They pointed out that data for multifamily starts, which surged 32.2 percent in August, is notoriously volatile and represents just a small portion of the housing market.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve on Tuesday raised direct concern for the first time that the nation’s economy may be headed into a deflation trap, and expressed readiness to take more action to avert a serious turn for the worse.

In a statement issued after its seventh policy-setting meeting of the year, the central bank noted once more that economic recovery and employment growth have slowed in recent months. But this time the Fed made clear it was also worried about another potential problem: a downward spiral of prices that could under-

mine wages, hiring and overall economic activity.

Such a spiral is difficult to reverse, as Japan discovered during its so-called “Lost Decade” of economic stagnation in the 1990s. Indeed, Japan has still not regained the level of economic vigor that made it one of the world’s strongest economies.

for farmers Market ‘flip-flopped’ during the downturn

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

A 41 percent drop in net farm income reported by the Oregon Department of Agriculture marked 2009 as one of the worst years for Oregon farmers and ranchers since the nationwide farm foreclosure crisis of the mid1980s — and the decline hit certified organic growers as well as farmers who rely on petroleumbased fertilizers and pesticides.

“Before the recession hit, I was getting a premium of $40 to $50 per ton for dairy-quality certified organic hay,” said Stephen Roth, who raises more than 1,000 irrigated acres of certified organic alfalfa, oat and triticale hay in the Hampton area east of Brothers. “Last year, the premium dropped to around $30 a ton, and this year I’m not getting much of a premium at all,” He said his most recent crop of alfalfa hay sold for an average of around $160 per ton, which is about $10 per ton less than growers received for noncertified hay for the export market.

“The market flip-flopped,” Roth said.

On a July night in 1987, scores of elderly and chronically ill patients at Bird S. Coler Memorial Hospital in New York City began to fall violently sick with food poisoning from eggs tainted with salmonella.

“It was like a war zone,” said Dr. Philippe Tassy, the doctor on call as the sickness started to rage through the hospital.

By the time the outbreak ended more than two weeks later, nine people had died and about 500 people had become sick. It remains the deadliest U.S. outbreak attributed to eggs infected with the bacteria known as Salmonella enteritidis.

This year, the same bacteria sickened thousands of people nationwide and led to the recall of half a billion eggs.

Despite the gap of decades, there is a crucial link between the two outbreaks: In both cases, the eggs came from farms owned by Austin DeCoster, one of the country’s biggest egg producers.

AIG said to be in talks to sell more units

SAN FRANCISCO — Each year, Oracle’s presence looms over this city for a week, during the company’s OpenWorld customer conference. About 41,000 people arrived this week to discuss business software in fine detail and talk over beers. Stretches of downtown streets closed and gave way to makeshift tents housing coffee stands, bars, Lego play areas and candy buffets.

But Oracle’s annual takeover pales against its larger ambitions — to supply just about all the technology, software and hardware, that businesses might need. This sweeping agenda has rattled the nerves of customers, who fear that Oracle has its own best interests, not theirs, at heart. The worry is that instead of saving money, customers will end up paying more over the long term, and that Oracle, already known for its ag-

drop in illness.

But the efforts were patchwork. For example, Iowa, where DeCoster has five farms tied to the current outbreak, required no testing.

And the federal government, at times under pressure from Congress and the industry to limit regulation, spent two decades debating national egg safety standards. New rules finally went into effect in July — too late to prevent the current round of illness.

Records released by congressional investigators last week suggest that tougher oversight of DeCoster’s Iowa operations might have prevented the outbreak, which federal officials say is the largest of its type in the nation’s history, with more than 1,600 reported illnesses and probably tens of thousands more that have gone unreported.

According to the records, DeCoster’s farms in Iowa conducted tests from 2008 to 2010 that repeatedly showed strong indicators of possible toxic salmonella contamination in his barns. Such environmental contamination does not always spread to the eggs, and it’s unclear what actions DeCoster took in response. However, when the Food and Drug Administration inspected the farms after the recalls, officials found unsanitary conditions and the presence of Salmonella enteritidis in barns and feed.

“It’s striking that he was part of the early phase of the epidemic and that there is now a problem on his farms in Iowa,” said Dr. Robert Tauxe, deputy director of the foodborne illness division of the Centers for Disease Control.

gressive tactics, will use its strong position in software to gain even more leverage over a larger array of products.

Companies have long used Oracle’s software to keep track of their most prized information.

For Oracle, this resulted in sales of $26.8 billion last year and hints of an annual revenue goal of $100 billion. Over the last five years, Oracle has acquired a staggering 66 companies, most of which were software makers that provided expertise in niche areas.

This year, it bought Sun Microsystems, a hardware maker, signaling its intention to dominate the data centers of businesses by controlling more of their technology purchases. It is a prospect that its traditional partners and, more important, its customers, find unnerving.

Maureen Miller, who oversees technology infrastructure work for the National Science Founda-

tion, put it this way: “We are becoming an all-Oracle shop, but not by choice. They bought every company we deal with. And we don’t tend to want to put all of our eggs in one basket.”

Larry Ellison, Oracle’s chief executive, argued that the company’s new strategy would benefit customers. “If you want to go faster and you want a system that is more reliable, you have to be willing to spend less,” he said in his opening pitch at this week’s event, while extolling the virtues of linking hardware and software.

Later this year, Oracle also plans to give select customers access to a product suite called Fusion. This arrives after five years of work and will unite many of the products Oracle has acquired into a single software platform — one that will combine functions found in rival products from companies like SAP, IBM, Microsoft and Salesforce.com.

Jobs

Eagan said the same may not be true for Central Oregon. As most people know, the area relied too heavily on construction employment, which hasn’t recovered, Eagan said.

“We just may not have come out of our recession yet,” she said.

There have been some positive signs during the past few months, she added. First Friday art events have been busy, Eagan said, and people appear to be traveling to Bend, as indicated by rising room-tax revenues, and spending money.

Some of the unemployed are finding work, too.

Michael Culbertson is a 27year-old father of two whose unemployment benefits expired around May. About two months later, Culbertson said he lucked out when a dishwasher quit at Shari’s restaurant in Redmond.

The job is only part-time, but it brings in money, Culbertson said.

“Any time is better than no time,” he said. “You can’t really ever give up. You’ve got to keep on keeping on.”

As employment goes, so goes the economy. Economists and officials say that until more people find work and have money to spend, the economy will remain sluggish since consumer spending accounts for a large portion of economic activity.

Continued from B1 Deschutes County lost 320 jobs in August, a month that usually has growth of about 130 jobs, Eagan said. The unemployment rate remained flat at 14.7 percent between July and August.

Jefferson County followed a more normal pattern. It lost 40 jobs — typical for August — bumping its unemployment rate up half a percentage point to 15 percent.

Unemployment remains higher in Central Oregon than most other parts of the state, with Crook County retaining the highest rate.

The new rates come only a week after the U.S. Census Bureau announced that the number of people in poverty — 43.6 million nationally, or 14.3 percent — is the highest since 1959, when the poverty level was first tracked. The poverty rate is at its highest level since 1994. The spike is largely blamed on the nation’s long-term unemployment, and officials say the poverty rate would be worse if federally funded benefits had not been extended.

People living in poverty are defined as those earning below the federal poverty level, which is $11,161 for an individual younger than 65.

Earlier this week, word came from the National Bureau of Economic Research that the national recession ended in June 2009.

Continued from B1 DeCoster’s frequent runins with regulators over labor, environmental and immigration violations have been well cataloged. But the close connections between DeCoster’s egg empire and the spread of salmonella in the United States have received far less scrutiny.

While some state regulators took steps to clamp down on tainted eggs, the federal government was much slower to act, despite entreaties from state officials alarmed at the growing toll.

Farms tied to DeCoster were a primary source of Salmonella enteritidis in the United States in the 1980s, when some of the first major outbreaks of human illness from the bacteria in eggs occurred, according to health officials and public records. At one point, New York and Maryland regulators believed that DeCoster eggs were such a threat that they banned sales of the eggs in their states.

“When we were in the thick of it, the name that came up again and again was DeCoster Egg Farms,” said Paul Blake, who was head of the enteric diseases division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the 1980s, when investigators began to tackle the emerging problem of salmonella and eggs.

By the end of that decade, regulators in New York had forced DeCoster to allow salmonella testing of his farms and, along with other states, pushed the egg industry in the eastern United States to improve safety, which led to a

The American International Group is close to a deal to sell two Japanese life insurance units to Prudential Financial for at least $4 billion, people briefed on the matter said Tuesday.

If completed, the deal for the two units, the AIG Star Life Insurance Co. and the AIG Edison Life Insurance Co., would be the latest by AIG to raise money to help pay back its $130 billion taxpayer-financed bailout.

Talks are continuing and may still fall apart, these people cautioned. The people requested anonymity because the discussions were still private.

The insurer’s chief executive, Robert Benmosche, had previously said that the firm planned to keep the two units.

Prudential Financial and AIG began talks last year, but they fell apart. They resumed talks this year.

Spokesmen for AIG and Prudential Financial declined to comment on the talks, which were reported earlier by The Wall Street Journal online.

AIG has already lined up the sales of other units as it seeks to pare down its operations to worldwide casualty and property insurance and domestic life insurance. It is planning on holding an initial public offering for American International Assurance, after failing to complete a deal with Prudential of Britain, which is unrelated to Prudential Financial. It has also agreed to sell another life insurance unit, the American Life Insurance Company, and a consumer lending business, American General Finance.

Continued from B1 The cash awards were distributed as the fund lost $59 billion.

Steve Deutsch, director of pensions and endowment at Morningstar Inc., said many public pension plans award performance bonuses, and called CalPERS’ performance during 2008-09 “middle of the road.”

“It’s absolutely very widespread, but very low profile in terms of being acknowledged, discussed, or disclosed by the plans,” Deutsch said.

The revelations prompted two key Republican lawmakers to call for more oversight of how CalPERS and other state pension funds compensate employees and make investment decisions, while a Democratic lawmaker promised legislation to control salaries and bonuses.

CalPERS spokesman Brad Pacheco said bonuses are based on the fund’s performance over five years, not just the year immediately preceding the bonus, in order to encourage managers to seek long-term investments rather than short-term gains.

He said bonuses in the 2008-09 fiscal year were 50 percent lower than in 2006-07 and that the market declines will continue to dampen bonuses in future years.

“Incentives are part of total compensation and critical to the fund’s long-term success as well as recruitment and retention of skilled investment professionals,” Pacheco said in an e-mail.

Bonuses also were paid to employees who are not part of the fund’s investment team, including a public affairs officer who received bonuses of nearly $19,000 a year two years in a row and a human resources executive who received bonuses topping $16,000 both years.

Performance vs. pay The number of CalPERS executives making $200,000 a year or more rose from 13 to 15 over the two-year period. Those employees received an average salary raise of 12 percent and an average bonus of $115,705 in the 2007-08 fiscal year and $63,311 in 2008-09, according to the AP’s inquiry into CalPERS compensation.

Senior investment officers responsible for segments of the portfolio seeing the steepest declines were among those rewarded, due in large part to the fund’s long-term bonus system.

Real estate was the hardesthit investment category in the CalPERS portfolio during the 2008-09 fiscal year, suffering from the same property devaluations felt across the country.

That portfolio lost 47.9 percent of its value over the fiscal year.

CalPERS awarded the portfolio’s senior investment manager, Ted Eliopoulos, a $93,941 bonus on top of his $333,124 salary, which was 8 percent higher than the previous year.

According to CalPERS’ annual report, the global equity portfolio saw a 26 percent decline in U.S. stocks and a 32.4 percent drop in international stocks during 2008-09. Eric Baggesen, the senior investment officer for global equity, received a 6 percent raise, bumping his salary

up from $300,000 to $318,000 in the 2008-09 year. He also received bonuses totaling $254,186 over the two-year period.

The AP obtained the data from CalPERS through a California Public Records Act request and analyzed the compensation of employees earning salaries of at least $90,000 per year in both fiscal years. CalPERS says bonuses for 2009-10 are being determined.

For the sake of consistency, employees who worked only one of the two fiscal years were not included in the AP’s overall data analysis.

On the hook Like all state employees, those at CalPERS were subject to furloughs in the last half of the 2008-09 fiscal year, which amounted to a 9.2 percent temporary salary decrease over the final five months. Those furlough reductions were not taken into account in the analysis because they did not affect official salaries used to determine raises and pensions.

Employees of the pension fund are paid salaries and bonuses out of the fund’s investment returns. The salaries are not paid directly by California taxpayers, but they come from the same pot as pension payments.

Taxpayers are on the hook to cover the deficit between returns generated by investments and what is owed to state retirees.

Earlier this year, the pension fund’s board voted to take between $480 million and $600 million more from the state to make up for investment losses and the fact that retirees are living longer and receiving more pension payments. Part of that will come from the state’s general fund, which faces a $19 billion deficit. CalPERS does not need legislative approval to enact an increase in the state’s pension contribution rate.

CalPERS’ board of directors recently voted to allow the board to defer, cut or eliminate performance awards if the fund’s fiscal year absolute return is less than zero percent, or for any other reason, Pacheco said. He added that investment managers’ salaries were frozen in the most recent fiscal year, 2009-10.

Board member Olivera said the CalPERS board tried to reduce bonuses for 2008-09 but was “contractually compelled” to honor them.

“But we have taken steps now to make sure that can’t happen in the future,” Olivera said.

However, the board voted Sept. 15 to give the chief investment officer and CEO authority to award bonuses of as much as 20 percent of salary to investment managers they’re worried about losing to the private sector. Employees would have to return the bonuses if they leave CalPERS within two years.

“It’s not that they’re just piling on bonuses; this is key to retaining staff,” Pacheco said in an interview.

Late Tuesday, Democratic state Assemblyman Anthony Portantino of La Canada Flintridge said he will reintroduce legislation aimed at freezing salaries and bonuses at the pension fund, saying the “behavior must stop.”

A W Older job seekers struggle to rejoin the work force

By Motoko Rich New York Times News Service

VASHON ISLAND, Wash.

— In her darkest moments, Patricia Reid cannot escape a nagging thought: She may never work again.

She is not in her 70s, an age when many Americans continue to work. She is not even in her 60s.

She is just 57.

College-educated, with a degree in business administration, she is experienced, having worked for two decades as an internal auditor and analyst at Boeing before losing that job.

But that does not seem to matter, not for her and not for a growing number of 50- and 60-something workers who desperately want or need to work to pay for retirement and who are starting to worry that they may be discarded from the work force — forever.

Since the economic collapse, there are not enough jobs being created for the population as a whole, much less for those in the twilight of their careers.

Of the 14.9 million unemployed, more than 2.2 million are 55 or older. Nearly half of them have been unemployed six months or longer, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate in the group — 7.3 percent — is at a record, more than double what it was at the beginning of the latest recession.

After other recent downturns, older people who lost their jobs fretted about how long it would take to return to the work force and worried that they might never recover their former incomes. But today, because it will take years to absorb the giant pool of unemployed at the economy’s recent pace, many of these older people may simply age out of the labor force before their luck changes.

For Reid, it has been four years of hunting — without a single job offer. She buzzes energetically as she describes the countless applications she has lobbed through the Internet, as well as the online courses she is taking to burnish her software skills.

Still, when she is pressed, her can-do spirit falters.

A policy problem The most recent recession has increased the need to extend working life. Home values, often a family’s most important asset, have been battered. Stock portfolios are only now starting to recover. According to a Gallup poll in April, more than a third of people not yet retired plan to work beyond age 65, compared with just 12 percent in 1995.

Older workers who lose their jobs could pose a policy problem if they lose their ability to be self-sufficient. “That’s what we should be worrying about,” said Carl Van Horn, professor of public policy and director of the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University, “what it means to this class of the new unemployables, people who have been cast adrift at a very vulnerable part of their career and their life.”

Forced early retirement imposes an intense financial strain, particularly for those at lower incomes. The recession and its aftermath have already pushed down some older workers. In figures released last week by the Census Bureau, the poverty rate among those 55 to 64 increased to 9.4 percent in 2009, from 8.6 percent in 2007.

But even middle-class people who might skate by on savings or a spouse’s income are jarred by an abrupt end to working life and to a secure retirement.

Security “That’s what I spent my whole life in pursuit of, was security,” Reid said. “Until the last few years, I felt very secure in my job.”

As an auditor, Reid loved figuring out the kinks in a manufacturing or parts delivery process.

But after more than 20 years of commuting across Puget Sound to work at Boeing, Reid was exhausted when she was dismissed from her $80,000-a-year job.

Stunned and depressed, she sent out résumés, but figured she had a little time to recover. So

she took vacations to Turkey and Thailand with her husband, who is a home repairman. She sought chiropractic treatments for a neck injury and helped nurse a priest dying of cancer.

Most of her days now are spent in front of a laptop, holed up in a lighthouse garret atop the house that her husband, Denny Mielock, built in the 1990s on a breathtaking piece of property overlooking the sound.

As she browses the job listings that clog her e-mail in-box, she refuses to give in to her fears. “If I let myself think like that all the time,” she said, “I could not even bear getting out of bed in the morning.”

With her husband’s home repair business pummeled by the housing downturn, the bills are mounting. Although the couple do not have a mortgage on their 3,000-square-foot house, they pay close to $7,000 a year in property taxes. The roof is leaking.

Their utility bills can be $300 a month in the winter, even though they often keep the thermostat turned down to 50 degrees to save on heating costs.

They could try to sell their home, but given the depressed housing market, they are reluctant.

“We are circling the drain here, and I am bailing like hell,” said Reid, emitting an incongruous cackle, as if laughter is the only response to her plight. “But the boat is still sinking.”

Staying competitive It is not just the finances that have destabilized her life.

Older people who lose their jobs take longer to find work.

In August, the average time unemployed for those 55 and older was slightly more than 39 weeks, according to the Labor Department, the longest of any age group. That is much worse than in August 1983, also after a deep recession, when someone unemployed in that age group spent an average of 27.5 weeks finding work.

At this year’s pace of an average of 82,000 new jobs a month, it will take at least eight more years to create the 8 million positions lost during the recession.

And that does not allow for population growth.

Advocates for the elderly worry that younger people are more likely to fill the new jobs as well.

“I do think the longer someone is out of work, the more employers are going to question why it is that someone hasn’t been able to find work,” said Sara Rix, senior strategic policy adviser at AARP, the lobbying group for seniors.

“Their skills have atrophied, for one thing, and technology changes so rapidly that even if nothing happened to the skills that you have, they may become increasingly less relevant to the jobs that are becoming available.”

In four years of job hunting, Reid has discovered that she is no longer technologically proficient. In one of a handful of interviews she has secured, for an auditing position at the Port of Seattle, she learned that the job required skills in PeopleSoft, financial software she had never used. She assumes that deficiency cost her the job.

Reid is still five years away from being eligible for Social Security. But even then, she would be drawing early, which reduces monthly payments. Taking Social Security at 62 means a retiree would receive a 25 percent lower monthly payout than if she worked until 66.

Creating a new path Reid is in some ways luckier than others. Boeing paid her a six-month severance, and she has health care benefits that cover her and her husband for $40 a month.

And Reid is plugging ahead with her current plan: to send out 600 applications to accounting firms in the area, offering her services for the next tax season.

Eventually, she wants to open her own business.

With odd jobs and her husband’s — albeit shriveled — earnings, she could stagger along.

For now, she stitches together an income by gardening for

Patricia Reid, a 57-year-old accountant who was laid off from Boeing, has been trying to find a job for four years — without a single job offer.

neighbors, helping fellow church members with their computers, and participating in Internet surveys for as little as $5 apiece.

“You don’t necessarily have to go through the door,” Reid said.

“You can go around it and go under it. I can be very creative. I think that I will eventually manage to pull this together.”

Fed Continued from B1 While that may be a good thing for consumers on a day-to-day basis, it is less than the 1.5 percent to 2 percent that Fed policymakers aim for in order to steer a course between inflation and deflation.

Tuesday’s statement acknowledged that underlying inflation measures are “somewhat below” the Fed’s comfort zone.

“It’s an indication that the Fed is concerned we’re getting closer to deflation,” said Lyle Gramley, a former Fed governor who is a senior economic consultant at the Potomac Research Group.

Financial markets read a shift in the Fed’s statement on inflation as

Organic Continued from B1 “We used to sell all of our certified organic hay to dairymen who produced certified organic milk. That was a good market for us, until the recession hit,” Roth said.

Over the past two years, sales of certified organic milk dropped as consumers tightened their belts, and Roth said that caused some organic dairies to go out of business.

“They are losing some of their market share, so there’s less demand for certified organic hay,” he said.

Brent Searle, an analyst with the Oregon Department of Agriculture, said dairy was among the agriculture sectors hit hardest by the recession.

Roth said the premium pricing that organic growers used to command is what piqued his interest in becoming a certified organic grower. Now that the premiums are going away, he’s thinking of giving up his organic certification and returning to traditional crop-production methods, which he said are cheaper and less hassle for a large farming operation like his.

Tepid demand

a sign that the central bank soon could launch a huge new round of “quantitative easing” — meaning a massive program of Treasury bond purchases, perhaps totaling upwards of $1 trillion.

The goal would be to pull longer-term interest rates lower, pump up the supply of money in the financial system and, the Fed would hope, eventually boost inflation.

Any move to flood the system with more dollars would be expected to drive down the greenback’s value, improving the prospects for American exports but raising the potential for a problem with inflation.

On Tuesday, stocks shot up immediately after the Fed’s announcement but then fell back,

with the Dow closing up 7.41 points to 10,761.03. The dollar slumped.

The bank already has bought $1.75 trillion of government bonds and mortgage debt. After its meeting on Aug. 10, the Fed said it would reinvest maturing securities in Treasury bonds — maintaining the size of its bloated portfolio — and “will employ its policy tools as necessary to promote economic recovery and price stability.”

The Fed was more explicit in Tuesday’s statement, saying it was “prepared to provide additional accommodation if needed.”

To Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at the Bank of TokyoMitsubishi in New York, that’s code for gearing up to pump more

money into the nation’s economic bloodstream. He thinks an announcement could come as soon as the Fed’s next meeting in early November.

“I think they’re halfway to easing” monetary policy, he said.

The Fed will be more likely to take action if economic indicators continue to disappoint. Experts said this week that the recession ended in June 2009, but economic growth has slowed sharply since spring. Most analysts see gross domestic product in the current quarter growing at a measly 1.5 percent annual pace.

Conversely, Fed officials could back off from further monetary easing if the economic statistics turn more positive. The most recent data on unemployment in-

surance claims and retail sales were better than expected, but the Fed’s statement Tuesday made no mention of those data.

The Fed, in its statement, noted that housing starts are at a depressed level. It cited other persistent weaknesses in the economy: shrinking bank lending, although at a reduced rate in recent months, and lackluster investment in commercial building. “Business spending on equipment and software is rising, though less rapidly than earlier in the year,” the statement said.

Employment may be the single most important economic indicator guiding the Fed, and there’s been little to cheer about on this front. On Tuesday, the government said jobless rates for most

states showed no significant improvement in August from July.

High unemployment often goes hand in hand with falling inflation — and currently Fed policymakers are wrestling with both problems.

Some members of the Fed’s policy-setting panel have warned about the risk of the U.S. falling into a Japan-style deflation. But other Fed officials are reluctant to pump more money into the financial system, uncertain about whether or how much it will help and concerned about an outbreak of inflation in the future.

“There’s a lot of division” within the Fed, said Gramley, the former Fed governor. “I would say the division is as large as I’ve ever seen it.”

declining demand for organic fruits and vegetables.

“We started out the beginning of the year with lots of different organic products, but they actually didn’t sell very well,” Mills said.

“We like to sell organic, and we always bring in organic when the price is the same or slightly higher, but most people aren’t willing to pay more to get it,” he said.

Mills said there’s still a strong demand for locally grown produce — meaning produce grown in Oregon and Washington, rather than California or Mexico.

“There aren’t many local growers in the Bend area,” Mills said.

“Most of the stuff we pick up in the Willamette Valley, or in the Yakima or Hermiston areas.”

Earlier in the season, the bestselling crops are asparagus, tomatoes and green beans grown locally in the Yakima area. Popular this time of year are Hermiston watermelon, blackberries, marionberries and peaches from the Willamette Valley, Mills said.

Food that Mills gets in Central Oregon includes sweet corn from Madras, Swiss chard from a grower in Bend, and rhubarb, zucchini and a few other crops people grow in their gardens around town.

However, he’s unaware of anyone in the area growing certified organic vegetable seed because there’s little demand, due to what he calls a loophole in the national standards for certified organic farms.

“There is some interest in growing certified organic seed, but right now there isn’t much of a market,” Affeldt said.

He blames the lack of market on a clause in the standards for organic certification that says a grower is required to use certified seed if it’s available.

That clause, Affeldt said, allows farmers who say they can’t find organic seed to grow and market certified crops from seeds that are not certified organic.

Chris Shreiner, executive director of Oregon Tilth, the largest group in Oregon authorized to inspect and designate certified organic growers, confirmed the clause, but he doesn’t see it as a loophole because growers must show they tried to locate certified organic seed and found it wasn’t available from a certified organic source.

Shreiner said that clause is being used less as more certified organic seed becomes available.

said the recession did take a toll on organic growers, just as it did on traditional agricultural producers.

Unfortunately, he said the U.S. Department of Agriculture hasn’t been collecting information on the financial status of organic farms separately from traditional farms, but the anecdotal information he’s heard from organic farmers like Roth show the recession hasn’t spared the organic sector.

One figure he has shows membership of certified organic farmers in Oregon Tilth was climbing at a rate of 15 percent to 20 percent a year up to 2007 and into 2008. But from the end of 2008 to the end of 2009, membership grew less than 10 percent, from 332 to 365.

Those numbers are for certified organic growers who registered with Oregon Tilth and have gross sales of $5,000 a year or more.

In 2007, for the first time ever, Shreiner said the Census of Agriculture asked growers to report their organic production, and found 657 Oregon farmers in that category.

That census also reported annual sales of organic crops by Oregon farmers at $155.6 million.

“That is the first time we’ve had a firm number on that,” Shreiner said. Unfortunately, he said there weren’t any prior years’ numbers and the USDA hasn’t been collecting data on organic production the last two years to compare with the 2007

census.

Prior to the recession, organic crop production more than doubled from 45,429 acres in 2005 to 115,502 acres in 2008, according to a study by Washington State University.

rare varieties of English, French and early American apples for a company that makes hard cider, said the key to making a profit in organic farming or traditional farming is finding a niche.

“We were the first organic farm in Jefferson County, and we are doing great,” Mansfield said. “We are the only cider apple orchard in Central Oregon.

The apples we grow are sort of rare apples. You aren’t going to go to Safeway or Fred Meyer and find the apples we grow,” he said, adding that he gets a good price that hasn’t been affected by the recession because of his unique market niche.

“I think if you can find a niche market, that is going to help you out,” Mansfield said. “A lot of larger growers are going organic, so that is squeezing out the premium prices the small growers used to get.”

Murky rules

Rich Affeldt, field crops specialist with the Central Oregon Agricultural Research Center in Madras, said there’s lots of

Tracking the industry When it comes to the financial health of organic farming in Oregon and nationwide, Shreiner

Organic specialization Deschutes County, however, hasn’t exactly been a hotbed of certified organic farming, with just one certified organic farm (Roth’s farm) listed at just more than 2,400 acres in 2005, and that remained the only certified organic farm in the county in 2008. Jefferson County had five certified organic farms in 2008 totaling 482 acres and Crook County had none.

After the WSU survey was done, Roth said, his farm in Deschutes County was divided into two certified organic farms. His is just over 1,000 acres, and adjacent land of just over 1,300 acres was purchased by a neighbor.

Report: Energy access vital to fighting worst poverty

By David Jolly New York Times News Service

More than $36 billion a year is needed to ensure that the world’s population benefits from access to electricity and clean-burning cooking facilities by 2030, the International Energy Agency said Tuesday.

In a report prepared for the U.N. Millennium Development Goals meeting in New York, the agency said the goal of eradi-

cating extreme poverty by 2015 would be possible only if an additional 395 million people obtained access to electricity and 1 billion gained access to more modern cooking facilities that minimize harmful smoke in the next few years.

“Without electricity, social and economic development is much more difficult,” Fatih Birol, the energy agency’s chief economist, said by telephone. “Addressing

An industry trade association more than tripled its profit forecast for the world’s airlines, to $8.9 billion, this year, citing steady gains in passenger demand and a strong rebound in the air freight market.

Air traffic is growing apace with economic growth in most regions. But the International Air Transport Association warned that the outlook for 2011 remained uncertain, particularly in Europe and North America, as the effects of government economic stimulus measures began to fade.

Lingering concerns about the sustainability of the current upturn are likely to reduce profits next year, to around $5.3 billion, the association said.

“The industry recovery has been stronger and faster than anyone predicted,” said Giovanni Bisignani, the association’s director general.

But he cautioned that with margins still at a “razor-thin” average of 1.6 percent and fuel costs still representing about a quarter of operating costs, the industry could be approaching a near-term peak in profitability.

The first Airbus A380 delivered to German airline Lufthansa takes off at the Airbus facility in Hamburg, Germany, in May. “This year is as good as it gets,” Bisignani said. “This is the peak of the cycle.”

The association, an industry group based in Geneva, forecast in June a 2010 global profit of $2.5 billion, a sharp improvement from the $2.8 billion loss it predicted just three months earlier. The industry had a collective loss of $9.9 billion in 2009, down from a $16 billion loss in 2008. The world’s airlines were last profitable in 2007, when they reported combined earnings of

Demand for airline tickets was continuing to outpace the number of available seats, driving up fares worldwide. The association said demand was expected to rise 11 percent this year, while capacity would expand only 7 percent.

As a result, the association forecast that airline revenue would climb 16 percent in 2010, to $560 billion, from $483 billion in 2009. That would be slightly below the $564 billion in revenue in 2008.

JAIL LEVY

Jefferson voters weigh safety, cost

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

MADRAS — Many voters across Jefferson County — from a local salon to an agricultural-supply store — haven’t decided how they will vote in November on a measure that would raise their taxes to support the Jefferson County jail. Though they value maintaining public safety, some voters say paying more taxes during such a tough economic time would be difficult.

Louise Muir, 74, who was enjoying lunch with four other women at the Jefferson County Senior Center Monday afternoon, has decided she will support the jail levy. Over a five-year period, the levy would raise about $8.3 million.

“It’s not that I want taxes raised,” she said. “But we voted for the jail, now we have to support it.”

Muir said it’s important to her that criminals aren’t released early because of a lack of resources to manage them. If the levy were to fail, Sheriff Jim Adkins said, jail staff would be reduced and inmates would be released sooner.

Bend must shrink growth plan

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

City of Bend officials should soon know what they need to do to get state approval for expanding the city’s urban growth boundary.

On Monday, the Oregon Land and Development Commission gave the city a draft of a final order that will essentially govern how and where the city is allowed to grow over the next 20 years.

While city officials are still digesting the 156-page document, they know the city will have to shrink its initial 8,462-acre UGB expansion proposal and come up with a refined plan for guiding future growth as the population increases.

Bend’s initial expansion proposal was shot down by the Oregon De-

“The main message I would send here is that although it’s been sent back (to the city for more work), the basic decisions are still the decisions for the city, the City Council, the planning commission and the people of the city for what they want the city to look like.”

— Richard Whitman, executive director, Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development partment of Land Conservation and Development because officials there say the city tried to include too much land without resolving issues related to developing vacant lots in the current UGB, providing enough land for affordable housing, and planning for future transportation and public

works needs. The state also wants the city to increase development within its current UGB bounds.

City officials appealed that decision to the commission because they felt the agency was overreaching its legal bounds under state land use laws. That appeal was heard dur-

ing a series of public hearings in the spring when the commission decided city planners needed to do a little more work on the UGB proposal before it could be approved.

“We always knew that there would be a remand, and we knew that the nature of that remand would be based on the commission’s actions,” Bend Long-Range Planning Manager Brian Shetterly said. “This is the first draft of that remand order, and we want to make sure from our perspective that it’s accurate from what we understood from what the commission decided during the hearings.”

The city has until Oct. 4 to review the order and make sure there are no glaring mistakes that need to be corrected.

See UGB / C5

Improving the view

Jefferson County jail levy Result of a yes vote: The five-year levy would cost property owners $1.19 per $1,000 of assessed value and would raise about $8.3 million.

Result of a no vote: If it fails in November, Jefferson County Jim Adkins said he will put it before voters again in May. He said the jail cannot operate on less, so he will be asking voters to approve the same levy rate.

City to appeal DEQ penalties

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

The state Department of Environmental Quality has fined the city of Bend $10,800 for violating its wastewater permit, stating that the there was too much bacteria in the treated sewage from the wastewater plant on 15 occasions over the past five years.

However, the city believes the effluent was within the limits of the permit and is appealing the fine, said Paul Roy, utilities operations and maintenance manager with the city of Bend.

“We’re not “We’re not convinced it’s a violation, so we’re convinced it’s going to be meeting a violation, so with the DEQ and share we’re going to be all our information with them to, in effect, apmeeting with the peal the fine,” Roy said.

DEQ and share all The city usually treats its wastewater to our information the highest standards — Class A — and has a with them to, in authorizing it to effect, appeal the permit either put that treated fine.” water in a lagoon or use it for irrigation at — Paul Roy, utilities the Pronghorn resort in operations and the summer, said Jayne maintenance manager, West, water quality permit specialist with City of Bend the Bend DEQ. “On occasion they didn’t meet the bacteria limit for that class,” she said.

On 15 occasions between 2006 and 2010, the effluent contained more total coliform bacteria than is allowed under a Class A permit, she said. The limits for weekly fecal coliform bacteria were also exceeded one week in 2008.

And while the city can treat the water to less stringent standards, additional rules — covering where the treated water can be spread and when — apply.

For instance, there must be buffers between irrigated areas and property lines.

But the city was applying the treated water as if it was Class A, even when it wasn’t, West said.

“You need to declare that you’re not, and that you’re following the site restrictions (for other classes of effluent),” she said.

If people come into contact with water with high levels of bacteria, there’s a risk of infections or disease, according to the DEQ. However, West said Bend’s permit requires that no one be around when areas are irrigated, so that no one will come into contact with the treated water.

Deschutes County to vote on health clinic

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Deschutes County commissioners will vote at a 10 a.m. meeting today on a contract with a private company to open and operate an onsite health clinic for employees.

The clinic is intended to control costs of employee health insurance.

County officials plan to encourage employees to voluntarily use the clinic for urgent care and other needs.

The two-year contract with Charlotte, N.C.-based Healthstat would cost the county approximately $500,000, according to a county staff report. The contract would save the county at least $250,000 a year in health care costs, according to the staff report.

The $500,000 cost would include things like administrative fees, which would be assessed based on the number of patients, health care personnel costs, a one-time electronic medical record system licensing fee and other items, according to the contract. The contract would be capped at $1 million; the county would not have to pay for services above that amount.

Not included in that $500,000 is the cost to remodel part of an ex-

If you go What: Deschutes County Commission meeting When: 10 a.m. today Where: 1300 N.W. Wall St., Bend isting county building to house the clinic.

County Administrator Dave Kanner estimated the remodeling project would cost less than $50,000, although he will not know for certain until the county gets quotes.

Deschutes County self-insures for employee health care, and would pay for the clinic operations and remodeling from a county fund used to pay employee health insurance claims.

Under the contract, Healthstat would guarantee the county a complete return on its investment within the first 18 months of operation, meaning that the company has to save the county as much money as the county spends on Healthstat.

If Healthstat were to fail to do so, it would refund the county a portion of the administrative fees, in an amount based on how close the company were to come to the goal of a

100 percent return on investment.

The county and Healthstat would also have the option to terminate the contract early without giving cause, either by mutual consent or by giving the other party 60 days’ notice.

Kanner said it would quickly become evident whether the Healthstat clinic were saving the county money, since the county is self-insured and staff monitor how much the county pays in health insurance claims on a weekly basis.

“And if that number goes down, and we will see it going down in real time, then we know the likelihood is, it’s because the clinic is diverting costs from more expensive outside providers,” Kanner said.

Commissioner Dennis Luke said the county should give the clinic three to four years to determine whether it is saving money as envisioned.

Commissioner Alan Unger, on the other hand, said the county should not set a cutoff date for when the clinic must save money. Instead, the county should work on adjusting the clinic until it becomes popular with employees, Unger said.

Commissioner Tammy Baney said the county should give the

clinic a year to achieve savings. She said county staff have diligently researched other onsite employee clinics to learn what made certain ones successful and others less so.

Contract could impact 2,500 people The county spends about $13 million a year on health insurance claims and prescriptions, Kanner has said. Deschutes County has approximately 840 employees; it provides employees and their dependents with medical, dental and vision benefits, and charges premiums to departments based on how many employees they have.

Employees of Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council are also covered by the county’s insurance, and they would be able to use the new health clinic. In total, the insurance plan covers approximately 2,500 people, including the council’s employees and dependents and the county’s employees and dependents.

Amateur radio operators set for disaster

By Anne Creighton The (Roseburg) News-Review

ROSEBURG — Jerry Eifert and his band of amateur radio operators are good guys to have around in a sticky situation.

When other communication systems fail, they’re the only ones who can send out an SOS. “These guys are nuts, and I say that affectionately,� said Douglas County’s emergency services director, Wayne Stinson. “They’ve taken an interest in public radio and have gone above and beyond.�

For the past 17 years, Eifert, 65, has overseen about 40 volunteers who are trained to broadcast reports in the event of emergencies such as floods, earthquakes, blizzards or windstorms. “I love radio,� said Eifert, a retired Veterans Affairs hospital nurse. “I love the fact that I can

“These guys are nuts, and I say that affectionately. They’ve taken an interest in public radio and have gone above and beyond.� — Wayne Stinson, Douglas County’s emergency services director serve my community.�

Amateur radio operators around the country have responded to local and regional disasters since the 1930s.

In 1997, a windstorm in northwest Oregon knocked out telephones and electricity for four days, Stinson said. The amateur radio operators provided officials with updates on conditions. That storm prompted the governor to give $250,000 worth of equipment to Oregon’s amateur radio organizations.

Eifert has since lobbied for more funding, and the county now has emergency stations in Roseburg and Reedsport and a radio tower on Lane Mountain near Dixonville. If there were a disaster, amateur radio operators would be able to send messages to other parts of the state or country, Eifert said.

A Florida company owned The Lane Mountain tower and planned to tear down the structure. Stinson and Eifert, however, were able to get the company to

donate it to the county.

The tower allows information to be relayed to and from Reedsport and Roseburg in an emergency. “It provides the link from Southern and southeast Oregon to Salem,� Eifert said.

In August, Eifert’s labor of love earned him the 2010 Oregon Section ARES Volunteer of the Year award. The communication system he helped establish in Douglas County has made neighboring counties emergency communication systems more effective.

Stinson, who nominated Eifert for the award, said Eifert puts a lot of time and energy preparing for something that everyone hopes never happens. “What’s crazy is this isn’t even his profession,� he said, “I wanted to do something that acknowledged him better than just saying, Thank you.’�

Reservation receives grant of $250,000

Fire precaution levels have been lowered in the Ochoco National Forest, Crooked River National Grassland, Deschutes National Forest and the Prineville Bureau of Land management areas, according to a news release.

The industrial fire precaution levels have been lowered to level 1 due to recent rains in the region. Under the new level, a onehour fire watch will be required for those operating chain saws, welding and metal-cutting operations, cable yarding and blasting. Woodcutters are required to carry a shovel and fire extinguisher with them and to stay for one hour after the power equipment has been shut off.

Fire officials would like to remind public land visitors to continue to be careful with campfires as they can still pose a risk of wildfire if left unattended.

Starting their day with music

By Megan Kehoe The Bulletin

Awake and alert at an hour other teenagers might characterize and cruel and unusual, the members of Mountain View High School’s Jazz Band picked up their musical instruments and started jamming last Tuesday morning.

“I’ve loved jazz music for most of my life now,” said Kaitlyn McKenney, 16. “It overpowers the fact that I have to get up so early for practice.”

Mountain View’s Jazz Band, composed mostly of upperclassmen with a few sophomores sprinkled in, meets every schoolday at 6:45 a.m. to practice and hone members’ musical skills before most classes start.

Ted Burton, who has been the head of Mountain View’s band department for 10 years and runs the daily practice session, said the students have to meet before normal school hours so no musician has to miss out because of a conflicting schedule.

“They whine like everybody else does about getting up early,” said Burton, “but they’re a very dedicated group of students to make it here every day.”

According to Burton, the Jazz Band usually performs about 30 to 40 times a year, with students playing in a pep band for Mountain View High School sports events throughout the year. Several of the students played in the band last year and have returned for another year of playing.

“It’s just loads of fun,” said Taylor Wiley, 16, who plays the vibraphone, an electric version of a xylophone. “We get to play funk pieces sometimes, and we get a chance to improvise.”

Taylor said the class is a great way for students to become more advanced musicians by expanding their knowledge and understanding of music.

The session Tuesday began with a series of warm-ups, with students playing a variety of instruments, including electric guitars, saxophones and drums.

Burton played the trumpet along with the band throughout the session.

“You should hear the note in your head before you play it,” Burton told the students before a warm-up. “The more we all play together, the more we’ll find a happy meeting.”

Students began on another section of music, with Burton asking them to play it a second time after they finished. A moment later, he asked them what the difference was between the first and second renditions.

‘A lot more jazzy’ “We were more interested in playing it the second time,” said one student. “There was an excitement in it. It was a lot more jazzy.”

The students then began practicing a piece of music from their workbooks, “The Long and Short of It.” After a few false starts, the young musicians fell into a rhythm with a smooth, unified sound that flooded the music room and spilled out into the hallways of the band department.

“I love the soul of it,” Tarik Hayward, 15, said of jazz. “It’s exciting when you get to improvise and hear yourself playing a nice solo.”

Burton said many of the ap-

proximately 20 band members will not only play in performances this year, but will also get a chance to take their talents to Japan in March.

This is the fifth year of an exchange program for band students. Under the auspices of the program, Mountain View students travel to Japan and host Japanese students in alternate years. Last year, many of the students in the Jazz Band class hosted exchange students during spring break.

Kaitlyn said she still keeps in contact with the student who stayed with her for a week last year; next March, she plans to stay with the same girl when the group visits Japan.

“It can be life-changing for them,” said Burton of the impact of the exchange program has on the band students. “A lot of our students don’t speak Japanese, so there’s always a lot of pointing and gesturing. But they share the common language of music.”

The morning jam session ended after the bell rang, signaling the official start of school for the rest of the students. The band members packed up their instruments and filed out of the classroom as a group of freshmen band members filed in.

Christiano Mazziotti, 15, who plays the drums, said he doesn’t mind coming in earlier than most students to practice jazz.

“My goal is to get better at this, and to play professionally one day,” Christiano said. “This class will help get me there.”

A study released last week shows that as bullying has moved beyond the schoolyard and on to Facebook pages, online chat groups and cell phone text messages, its victims are feeling more hopeless and depressed.

The study, by the National Institutes of Health and published online in the Journal of Adolescent Health, is based on surveys of more than 7,000 American schoolchildren.

The results of the new report did not surprise some educators. Heather Applegate, supervisor of diagnostic and prevention services in Loudoun County public schools in Virginia said, “With cyberbullying, you can’t get away from it. In order to get away, you have to stop using social networking or stop using your cell phone.”

The new study follows previous research by the same authors that showed cyberbullying is most prevalent in middle school, from grades six to eight.

Boys were more likely to cyber-bully, and girls were more likely to be cyber-victims. But for those targeted by such behavior, the tendency toward depression was similar, regardless of sex.

Measure 76 pits parks vs. schools

Y

ou’d never know it to read letters from supporters — including local park board members — but Measure 76 involves a significant trade-off: schools for parks. Vot-

ers may or may not consider this trade-off appropriate, but they at least should be aware that it exists.

The measure, which enjoys the financial backing of the Nature Conservancy, piggybacks on a 1998 measure that dedicates 15 percent of Lottery revenue to parks and wildlife habitat. Since voters approved it by a wide margin 12 years ago, Measure 66 has steered hundreds of millions of dollars to programs and agencies that have accomplished some very worthwhile things.

Of course, some “parks and salmon” money has found its way to some unexpected places, too, including — believe it or not — the State Fair and Exposition Center, which now belongs to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. The state fair received $8 million worth of Measure 66 money during the 2005-07 biennium and even more the next biennium, according to an audit by the Secretary of State’s Office.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with spending huge sums on parks, wildlife or even the state fair. But it’s always worth asking how else the money might be used — for instance, to support public education. That, in fact, is the question posed by Measure 76, though its supporters are doing everything possible to change the subject. Misleading voters in this manner is fairly easy to do because the policy debate has a lot of moving parts, beginning with Measure 66 itself.

Measure 66 expires at the end of 2014. Even though that’s more than four years in the future, the interest groups that now depend upon Measure 66 money aren’t taking any chances.

They want to lock in that 15 percent set-aside pronto, and they have every right to ask voters to amend the constitution accordingly.

But this urgency is manufactured.

There’s no need to decide anything now. Measure 66 requires the Legislature to “submit to a vote of the people at the November 2014 general elections the question of continuation of this amendment.” Thus, voters will have a chance to extend the Lottery set-aside even if Measure 76 fails.

For this reason, we’ve argued that voters should oppose the measure. The debate can wait four years, at which point, we hope, Oregon’s budgetary outlook will be much clearer. Locking up hundreds of millions of dollars that otherwise might go to schools makes no sense at a time like this.

Think of the Lottery fund as a pie from which various groups take slices. A piece representing roughly 17 percent of the pie goes to economic development and job creation, according to Lottery spokeswoman Mary Loftin. Another piece, representing about 1 percent of the pie, pays for the treatment of problem gamblers. Public schools have a hard claim on 18 percent of the pie. And, of course, parks and wildlife claim 15 percent. The rest of the pie — about half — isn’t firmly allocated. This allows lawmakers to move money to the recipient or recipients with the greatest need. Schools,

If Measure 76 passes, that money will not be available for schools, no matter how great their need might be.

In that sense, Measure 76 resembles a number of other ballot measures that reduce the ability of lawmakers to prioritize spending and, instead, lock in funding for, say, harsh criminal sentences.

Lawmakers routinely decry appropriation-by-ballot-box, but voters are expected to support this effort because the cause is “good.” thus, received 64 percent of the pie during the last biennium.

Should park-and-wildlife interests lose their claim on 15 percent of the Lottery after 2014, that money will be freed up for other uses — including public education, which receives much of the Lottery fund’s unclaimed money now. But if Measure 76 passes, that money will not be available for schools, no matter how great their need might be. In that sense, Measure 76 resembles a number of other ballot measures that reduce the ability of lawmakers to prioritize spending and, instead, lock in funding for, say, harsh criminal sentences. Lawmakers routinely decry appropriation-by-ballot-box, but voters are expected to support this effort because the cause is “good.”

What’s more, Measure 76 will need to be “fixed.” To prevent a battle with the Oregon Education Association, which immediately recognized the Measure 76 trade-off, legislative leaders this summer agreed to pursue a follow-up measure, which might appear on the 2011 ballot. It would, among other things, allow the Legislature to keep some parks and wildlife money during difficult economic times. “In the absence of this agreement,” House Speaker Dave Hunt told The Oregonian, “I think the measure would have been defeated.”

Rather than trying to mislead voters, supporters of Measure 76 should acknowledge the trade-off and make a case for it. Clearly, they believe that parks and habitat are a better use of Lottery funds than public schools.

They should share the basis of this belief with voters, who, for all we know, will agree with them.

Their reluctance to do either of these things is telling. It suggests Measure 76’s supporters believe that Oregonians would vote “no” if they were aware of its effect on public education.

But that trade-off does exist, and Oregonians should keep it in mind next month, when they receive their ballots.

My Nickel’s Worth Whole tax story I just got done watching an ad on television put out by John Kitzhaber about how gubernatorial candidate Chris Dudley lived in Washington state for a while when he was playing basketball with the Blazers to avoid paying some Oregon taxes.

What the ad doesn’t tell is about all of the Washingtonians who cross the Columbia River and come here to buy cars, cigarettes, etc., to avoid paying a Washington sales tax.

Come on, John, quit slinging mud and tell the whole story.

Wyden’s a hypocrite There’s something seriously wrong when a U.S. senator changes course this way. Sen. Ron Wyden should not go back to the U.S. Senate because he is a major-league hypocrite. He opposed ObamaCare. I have to applaud a Democrat for that.

The problem is, when it came down to a vote, he caved in.

He was the deciding vote, the 60th vote to say “yes” to ObamaCare. Yes, Ron Wyden caved in!

ObamaCare forces Americans to buy something that many of them did not want to buy. The U.S. Constitution does not give the federal government the right to make you buy health care.

You can choose not to buy health care even if it makes sense to others that you should.

Wyden said “yes” to make ObamaCare a law all over America. Now he

wants an exemption for his own state, Oregon. He wants Oregon exempted from a law that he passed and imposed on the rest of America. That kind of hypocrite does not belong in the U.S. Senate.

It is time to retire Ron Wyden and have a new leader who believes in the values of our forefathers. This is one of many reasons why we support Jim Huffman for U.S. senator from Oregon.

Ban plastic bags Beyond the Oregon Coast, out in the Pacific, floats a toxic soup of plastic pollution twice the size of Texas that kills millions of marine animals each year.

Too much of this trash results from plastic bags, which is why I support the effort here in Oregon to ban single-use plastic shopping bags.

California was expected to pass the nation’s first bag ban this summer.

But the chemical and plastic industry dumped millions of dollars into a misinformation TV ad campaign blitz and maxed out campaign contributions to California senators. As a result, the plastic bag industry bought the defeat of the bag ban, and the California Senate sold out the ocean.

Meanwhile, here in Oregon, 50 community and environmental groups and 300 businesses have come together to pass a statewide plastic bag ban. But Oregon law doesn’t limit campaign contributions, so the out-of-state plastic bag industry could buy out Oregon elections this fall and doom our state bag ban, too.

Environment Oregon recently sent a letter to state campaigns asking them to refuse any money from the plastic bag industry.

I urge our legislators to make the pledge and encourage citizens to put pressure on them to do so.

Replace Wyden Recently, “In My View” columnist Robert Perry pointed out many things about Ron Wyden’s voting record, namely that Wyden: 1) voted for every pay raise for senators; 2) voted in support of gay marriage; 3) voted against strengthening our borders; 4) voted “no” on limiting welfare to illegal aliens; 5) voted “yes” to giving illegal aliens full Social Security; 6) voted against making English the official language; and 7) voted “yes” on continuing federal funds for declared “sanctuary cities.”

In a Sept. 11 rebuttal letter, Jake Weigler, Wyden’s campaign manager, only commented on items one and five, saying they were wrong. We must then assume that the remaining claims are true. What Weigler does not say speaks volumes.

To me this indicates a dismal record and a good reason to get rid of Wyden.

I prefer someone in office who represents the American people, not illegal aliens.

‘I ™ boobies’ bracelets encourage kids to discuss cancer

By Kellyanne Litton Bulletin guest columnist

There is a new trend invading our middle schools, “I ™ boobies” bracelets. If you haven’t seen them yet, they are neon-colored plastic bracelets with the term “I ™ boobies.” These are all the rave, particularly with 12- and 13-year-old boys.

Maybe they “™ boobies” because their hormones tell them to, or maybe they do so because they have an experience in their lives where someone they love has had or is fighting breast cancer. That’s because “I ™ boobies” is a campaign to get kids informed about breast cancer, and it’s working! My 12-year-old son has an “I ™ boobies” bracelet, and when someone asks him about his bracelet, he may get that mischievous 12-year-old smirk, but he quickly explains that his grandmother and uncle are both breast cancer survivors and that he is wearing the bracelet in acknowledgement of his love for them and his admiration of their

survival.

This type of conversation is happening with all the boys and girls wearing “I ™ boobies” bracelets. Yes! Twelve-year-old boys are talking about breast cancer!

This new trend appears to be an issue for middle school administration officials, however successful the campaign may be. I don’t really have the answer as to why the bracelets are banned, but my son’s middle school has decided they are.

On the second day of school, with a list of names in hand, the vice principal entered my child’s classroom and pulled him out of class. This principal nicely asked my child to remove the bracelet and did respectfully have a conversation as to the why, and also inquired as to its meaning but did not reverse the removal decision. I am a bit upset at the method of the bracelet removal, but do respect what our principals and teachers do for our children and expect them to keep my child safe and free from harassment, so I

IN MY VIEW withhold judgment or criticism of the action. But, if the worst thing my son does in middle school is wear this bracelet, then I will be a happy mommy.

Regardless of the method or meaning, “I ™ boobies” bracelets are now banned at some schools. I pose in this guest column that there could have been more thought-provoking options than the perceived punitive action of removal. The “I ™ boobies” bracelet issue is not as black and white as, say, wearing a T-shirt with violent or racial epithets — not to me anyhow, so some conversation or thought over the matter would have been helpful.

Could these bracelets have been used to discuss breast cancer and allow kids to share their stories? Could this have been a topic of discussion in sex education?

Could the kids with these bracelets have been asked to write their “I ™ boobies”

story for the school newspaper? Could the school paper have done a story on these bracelets and asked kids why they wear them and what is their meaning?

Certainly, I would have preferred to have a memo of concern over these bracelets sent home. Or perhaps the students could have been notified that these bracelets should not be worn to school.

Had my son and I known the rule, we certainly would have complied. Any of these options and some further conversation about these bracelets would have been meaningful.

I would like to note here that I have not talked to any 12-year-old girls, and certainly if they are offended by the bracelets that would be a reason to immediately ban them. But my perception is that they are wearing them too.

And what about the meaning and stories behind the “I ™ boobies” bracelets?

As I stated before, 12-year-old boys and girls are talking about the issue, which

I imagine was the intent of the bracelet campaign. What an excellent breast cancer awareness strategy to make the bracelets cool and sell them in a popular ’tween clothing store.

Just for the record, I don’t think for one minute that my son wears the bracelet solely to support breast cancer awareness. He is a 12-year-old boy, after all.

But, he does think about the topic and always mentions his uncle and grandmother, and if the seed is planted in his mind and someday he ensures the women in his life get annual mammograms, then the “I ™ boobies” controversy was worth it.

By the way, the second bracelet in this campaign says “Check yourself,” and recently my son was adamant about purchasing one for his friend, who happens to be a girl. Yes, my son ™s boobies, as do his friends — and so should you!

‘Hud’ screenwriter Ravetch dies at 89

Saxophone player Buddy Collette dies

By Dennis McLellan

LOS ANGELES — Buddy Collette, a Grammy-nominated jazz saxophonist, flautist, bandleader and educator who played important roles in Los Angeles jazz as a musician and an advocate for the rights of African American musicians, has died. He was 89.

Collette died Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after suffering shortness of breath a day earlier, according to his daughter Cheryl Collette-White.

Collette’s virtuosic skills on saxophones, flute and clarinet allowed him to move easily from studio work in films, television and recording to small jazz groups and big bands. He was, in addition, one of the activists instrumental in the 1953 merging of the then all-African American musicians union Local 767 and the all-white Local 47.

“I knew that was something that had to be done,” Collette told writer Bill Kohlhaase for a Los Angeles Times story in 2000. “I had been in the service, where our band was integrated. My high school had been fully integrated. I really didn’t know anything about racism, but I knew it wasn’t right. Musicians should be judged on how they play, not the color of their skin.”

Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Irving Ravetch, a two-time Academy Award-nominated screenwriter — for “Hud” and “Norma Rae,” written with his wife and collaborator, Harriet Frank Jr. — has died. He was 89.

Ravetch died Sunday of pneumonia at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

In a screenwriting collaboration that began with the 1958 film “The Long, Hot Summer,” Ravetch and Frank wrote the scripts for more than a dozen other films, including “The Sound and the Fury,” “The Dark at the Top of the Stairs,” “Hombre,” “The Reivers,” “The Cowboys,” “Conrack,” “Murphy’s Romance” and “Stanley & Iris.”

They shared Oscar nominations in 1964 for their screenplays for “Hud,” a drama set in modern Texas and starring Paul Newman as the ruthless son of an elderly rancher, and in 1980 for “Norma Rae,” a drama starring Sally Field in her Oscar-winning role as an impassioned Southern union organizer.

Eight of the Ravetch-Frank Jr. screenplays were directed by the late Martin Ritt.

Jill Johnston, a longtime cultural critic for The Village Voice whose daring, experimental prose style mirrored the avant-garde art she covered and whose book “Lesbian Nation: The Feminist Solution” spearheaded the lesbian separatist movement of the early 1970s, died in Hartford, Conn., on Saturday. She was 81 and lived in Sharon, Conn.

The cause was a stroke, her spouse, Ingrid Nyeboe, said.

Johnston started out as a dance critic, but in the pages of The Voice, which hired her in 1959, she embraced the avant-garde as a whole, including happenings and multimedia events.

In the early 1970s she began championing the cause of lesbian feminism, arguing in “Lesbian Nation” (1973) for a complete break with men and with male-dominated capitalist institutions. She defined female relations with the opposite sex as a form of collaboration.

“Once I understood the feminist doctrines, a lesbian separatist position seemed the commonsensical position, especially since, conveniently, I was an L-person,” she told The Gay and Lesbian Review in 2006. “Women wanted to remove their support from men, the ‘enemy’ in a movement for reform, power and self-determination.”

Jill Johnston was born on May 17, 1929, in London and taken to the United States as an infant by her mother, Olive Crowe, after her father abandoned them.

LONDON — After she died this month, a frail 89-year-old alone in a flat in the British seaside town of Torquay, Eileen Nearne, her body undiscovered for several days, was listed by local officials as a candidate for what is known in Britain as a council burial, or what in the past was known as a pauper’s grave.

But after the police looked through her possessions, including a Croix de Guerre medal awarded to her by the French government after World War II, the obscurity Nearne had cultivated for decades began to slip away.

On Tuesday, the anonymity that Nearne had cherished in life was denied her in death. A funeral service in Torquay featured a military bugler and piper and an array of uniformed mourners. A red cushion atop her casket bore her wartime medals. Eulogies celebrated her as one of 39 British women who were parachuted into France as secret agents by the Special Operations Executive, a wartime agency known informally as “Churchill’s secret army,” which recruited more than 14,000 agents to conduct espionage and sabotage behind enemy lines.

DEQ Continued from C1 The $10,800 fine is for several years of violations; DEQ did not fine the city earlier because the state agency did not have the resources to address the issue earlier, West said. But West is now renewing the city’s wastewater permit, and collected the violations all at once.

Under the new permit, West said, the city should declare what class of effluent it is producing and follow the rules accordingly. And she said she doesn’t expect further

Eileen Nearne, who was one of 39 British women who parachuted into France as secret agents during World War II, died earlier this month at the age of 89. and by anonymous donors who came forward after the circumstances of Nearne’s death made front-page news in Britain.

The funeral organizers said that in accordance with her wishes, her ashes would be scattered at sea.

Nearne, known as Didi, volunteered for work that was as dangerous as any that wartime Britain had to offer: operating a secret radio link from Paris that was used to organize weapons drops to the French resistance and to shuttle messages back and forth between controllers in London and the resistance.

violations.

Roy, with the city, said that the city believes its effluent was within the permit requirements, and that the city was going to talk with the DEQ to straighten things out. If the water didn’t meet the requirements, he said, the city would not send it to Pronghorn.

“It was in compliance,” he said. “We have no intention of sending anything to our customers that doesn’t meet the criteria.”

UGB Continued from C1 No new arguments can be brought up during that review process.

Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development Executive Director Richard Whitman said the city shouldn’t find any surprises in the draft of the final order. The real purpose of the order, he said, is for the city to reanalyze how much growth can occur within the existing UGB and to more thoroughly justify why it needs to expand in other areas.

“There will still be a fairly significant expansion of the urban growth boundary, and it’s going to be up to the city where that expansion is going to occur,” Whitman said. “The main message I would send here is that although it’s been sent back (to the city for more work), the basic decisions are still the decisions for the city, the City

Jail levy Continued from C1 But at a Madras gas station, retired heavy equipment mechanic Tom Turner, 61, of Madras, said he thinks telling voters inmates would be released sooner is a scare tactic.

Turner said he is not in favor of paying more taxes.

“They are bleeding us to death, and someday the well will run dry,” he said.

Other voters felt torn. On one hand, they support public safety. Yet, the bad economy has hit Jefferson County hard, and paying more in taxes is not what they want to do.

The current levy is set to expire June 2011. The levy is now set at 99 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, so the owner of a home assessed at $200,000 pays $198 a year.

If voters adopt the proposed new levy of $1.19 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, the owner of the same home would pay $238 a year — an increase of $40.

Adkins said the jail has been using reserves to operate. It’s currently using about $400,000 a year from the reserve account to operate. The account has about $1 million.

The 160-bed facility can house about 90 inmates with its current level of staffing. The number of inmates fluctuates, but Adkins said he’s recruiting new contracts with agencies to rent out some of the jail’s beds, and he lowered the daily bed rental price to $60 a bed, from $76 per day, so the Crook Coun-

Council, the planning commission and the people of the city for what they want the city to look like.”

Bend has already spent an estimated $4 million to create the UGB expansion plan. That process took several years, and Bend Senior Planner Damian Syrnyk said he doesn’t anticipate a new plan will take as long as the first one.

“Since a lot of the groundwork is already done, we don’t expect it’s going to take as long as the first proposal did,” Syrnyk said. “We’re looking at a timeline for maybe 18 to 20 months for completing these and starting the public hearing process.”

The last time Bend expanded its UGB was in 1981 when the city’s population was 17,425.

The population is now over 80,000.

ty Sheriff’s Office would continue to rent beds at the facility.

Adkins pointed to rising costs of power, natural gas, and the costs associated with feeding, clothing and housing inmates, as the reason why the levy is necessary.

A committee of Jefferson County community members, including a retired county clerk, retired police chief and retired county treasurer, looked at the budget to evaluate whether the levy was necessary and to help set the rate. The annual jail budget is $4.15 million.

While two of the Jefferson County commissioners are in favor of the levy, Commissioner Mike Ahern has reservations about increasing the levy amount.

“I think you owe it to the people that you operate the jail in a fashion that lowers the taxes,” Ahern said.

And he thinks the way to do it is to rent out more beds.

“Our prime candidate is Crook County. In the past it spent a million a year with us, and now it’s $350,000 and ... they are matrixing people out, so if we could get them to rent 35 beds, all our problems would be answered,” Ahern said.

Adkins said although he’s worked to recruit more contracts, no agency has agreed to a five-year contract that would stabilize the jail’s funding.

“We cannot rely on a contract to reduce the levy amount,” he said.

Cowgirls outlast Cougars Crook County defeats Mountain View in five-game IMC match

By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

The kids are going to be alright.

Down two games to one in front of a rowdy Mountain View crowd Tuesday night, the talented but youthful Crook County Cowgirls rallied to top the Cougars 25-23,

23-25, 26-28, 25-22, 15-12 in Intermountain Conference volleyball play.

Just five days after losing a five-game thriller to Redmond, the Cowgirls (3-1 IMC), who at times have two freshmen and three sophomores on the floor, showed maturity beyond their years in the road victory.

“This is huge,” said Crook County coach Rosie Honl.

“Now they know they can finish. We’ve got two freshmen out there. Our two biggest hitters are sophomores.

They’re just infants.”

Outlaws win 7-0 in league opener

NFL Reid says Vick is starting QB for Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick earned himself a starting job by being — of all things — a pocket passer.

Vick will take over as the Philadelphia Eagles’ No. 1 quarterback, coach Andy Reid said Tuesday, a day after he announced he would go back to Kevin Kolb.

“When someone is playing at the level Michael Vick is playing, you have to give him an opportunity,” Reid said.

“This isn’t about Kevin Kolb’s play. You’re talking about Michael Vick as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now.”

Vick is considered the greatest scrambling quarterback in NFL history, but he won the job over Kolb by demonstrating he no longer has a run-first mentality.

Kolb missed the last six quarters because of a concussion, and Vick played well in his absence. Kolb was cleared to practice and was expected to run the first-team offense on Wednesday.

“Kevin is fine. It’s not an injury-related issue,” Reid said.

“It’s not about judging him.

He’s going to be a championship-caliber quarterback.”

Vick threw for 175 yards and one touchdown and ran for 103 yards in a 27-20 seasonopening loss to Green Bay. He had 284 yards passing and two TDs in a 35-32 win at Detroit on Sunday.

Kolb started two games in his first three seasons before he became the team’s No. 1 quarterback after Donovan McNabb was traded to Washington. Kolb struggled in the first half against the Packers in the season opener, but he became the first QB in league history to throw for 300 yards in his first two career starts last year.

Vick’s start against the Lions was his first in nearly four years. A three-time Pro Bowl pick during six seasons with the Falcons, Vick missed two seasons while serving an 18-month sentence in federal prison for his role in a dogfighting operation.

CORRECTION A story headlined “Mountain View girls soccer wins again” which appeared Sunday, Sept. 19, on Page D5, included an incorrect scoring summary for the Bend High girls soccer team because of inaccurate information provided to The Bulletin. Delaney Crook scored both of the Lava Bears’ goals in Bend’s 2-2 tie with Crescent Valley.

Sisters scores six goals in second half against Sky-Em’s Junction City Bulletin staff report SISTERS — After a relatively quiet first half, Sisters tacked on six goals in the second half en route to a 7-0 trouncing of Junction City in Sky-Em League girls soccer action Tuesday afternoon.

The Outlaws (1-0 Sky-Em, 40 overall) took an early 1-0 lead in their league opener thanks to a goal from Natalie Ambrose in the fifth minute.

Sisters then slipped into autopilot for the rest of the half, according to Outlaw coach Nik Goertzen, and struggled to adapt to the Tigers’ “bunch-ball” style of play.

Holding a one-goal advantage at the half, Sisters made adjustments on offense with plans to spread the field and play through balls.

It worked.

Marin Allen scored in the 42nd and 46th minutes to give the Outlaws a 3-0 lead. Ambrose added Sisters’ fourth goal two minutes later, and their fifth two minutes after that.

“We just had great shot, after great shot, after great shot,” Goertzen said.

Haley Carlson posted a sixth Sisters score in the 60th minute after capitalizing on a deflection before Allen posted her third goal of the day in the 63rd minute to give the Outlaws a 7-0 advantage.

Sisters, which has outscored its opponents 24-1 this season, resumes league play Thursday at Cottage Grove.

Volunteer Chris Wood, of Redmond, uses a Stimpmeter to measure the third green while working on a course rating for Tetherow Golf Club in Bend on Monday.

Degree of difficulty A team from the Oregon Golf Association rates three area golf courses “If you rate these things and you’re a golfer, you see things you would never see golfing.”

— Chris Wood, Redmond resident and Oregon Golf Association volunteer

G

retchen Yoder stops at the front of the sixth green at Tetherow Golf Club and looks back at the hole’s split fairway, scraggly rough and adjacent pond.

Like many of the holes at the Bend course, trouble is everywhere on Tetherow’s sixth hole.

And that fact is not lost on Yoder, the Oregon Golf Association’s manager of handicapping and course rating, “Holy schnikes,” she declares to nobody in particular.

It’s chilly out and windy, and the skies are overcast. But Yoder is not complaining about the weather.

Yoder is in Central Oregon this week with a small army of volunteers to rate three area golf courses for the OGA. In addition to Tetherow, the raters are visiting the Club at Brasada Ranch in Powell Butte and Sunriver Resort’s Meadows course.

Like every state’s golf association, the OGA is in charge of determining the rating and slope in accordance with United States Golf Association standards at both public and private Oregon golf course.

USGA course rating is the evaluation of the playing difficulty for scratch golfers and is calculated by the expected number of strokes for a scratch player to play the entire course under normal course and weather conditions.

Oregon State prepares for trip to Boise State’s blue turf

While their blue practice field adds an amusing touch to the preparations for No. 3 Boise State, the Oregon State Beavers are serious about the challenge they face in the Broncos.

“It is all about the football,” coach Mike Riley said. “We’re going to have to play a really good football game.”

Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz prepares to pass during the Beavers’ 30-21 loss against TCU on Sept. 4. Oregon State travels to No. 3 Boise State on Saturday.

Beavers paint practice field blue The No. 24 Beavers visit the blue turf at Boise State on Saturday, after holding their own but ultimately losing 30-21 against TCU, and then fending off Louisville 35-28 this past Saturday.

In preparation, the Beavers

painted Prothro Field on campus.

Oregon State diluted 70 gallons of white grass paint as a base under 280 watered-down gallons of blue grass paint. The paint was donated.

Because it’s water based it’s also green, so to speak.

“If we get any rain, we’ve got a problem,” Riley said.

Jokes aside, Oregon State realizes how much of a challenge the Broncos — with their national title hopes — truly pose.

Boise State defeated then-No. 10 Virginia Tech 33-30 to start the season, before routing Wyoming 51-6 last weekend.

Saturday is the home opener at Bronco Stadium, where Boise State has won 56 straight regular season games.

S B Soccer • Ex-World Cup referee arrested in New York: A former referee involved in Italy’s controversial elimination from the 2002 World Cup was caught at JFK International Airport with bags of heroin attached to his body, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Byron Moreno late Monday after he arrived in New York on a commercial flight from his native Ecuador. During a routine inspection, Moreno “became visibly nervous,” according to a complaint filed in federal court in Brooklyn.

A customs agent felt “hard objects on the defendant’s stomach, back and both of his legs,” the complaint said. A strip search revealed that the lumps were 10 clear plastic bags containing more than 10 pounds of heroin, it said. A judge jailed Moreno without bail on a drug smuggling charge. There was no immediate response to a message left Tuesday with his attorney.

Football • Steelers’ Dixon out indefinitely: Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback Dennis Dixon will have left knee surgery Wednesday and is out indefinitely, meaning Byron Leftwich or Charlie Batch will start Sunday at Tampa Bay. Dixon was hurt in the first half of a 1911 victory at Tennessee on Sunday, with Batch playing most of the final three quarters — his most extensive game action since 2007. Leftwich, expected to start during Ben Roethlisberger’s four-game suspension, sat out the first two games with a sprained left knee from the final preseason game.

• Reggie Bush has broken fibula: New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush’s broken leg likely will sideline him about six weeks but not the rest of the season, a person familiar with the injury said. Bush was expected to be examined again Tuesday, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team has not officially updated Bush’s condition. The bone in Bush’s lower right leg was broken when he recovered his muffed punt return with 6:58 remaining.

• Jets GM says Edwards will play despite arrest: Star wide receiver Braylon Edwards will be active for New York’s next game Sunday night at Miami despite being arrested for drunken driving, general manager Mike Tannenbaum tells The Associated Press. Edwards was arraigned on drunken-driving charges after a breath test showed Edwards had a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit after he was stopped on Manhattan’s West Side around 5 a.m.

Tuesday, prosecutors said.

• NFL fines Giants’ Jacobs for helmet toss: New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs was fined $10,000 by the NFL for accidentally throwing his helmet into the stands during Sunday’s game against the Colts. “I want to apologize one more time for accidentally tossing my helmet in the stands,” Jacobs said in a team-issued statement acknowledging the fine. “It was something that happened because I was frustrated with the game, and I had no business tossing my helmet in the first place, and I am thankful that nobody was hurt.”

• NFL fines Harbaugh $15,000: The NFL fined Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh $15,000 Tuesday for impermissible verbal and physical contact with an official. During the Ravens’ 15-10 loss Sunday to Cincinnati, Harbaugh made contact with line judge Ron Marinucci in the chest while demonstrating where outside linebacker Terrell Suggs hit Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer during a questionable roughing-the-passer penalty. During his Monday

press conference Harbaugh admitted crossing the line but did not seem to expect any disciplinary action.

• Pats’ Faulk could be done for season: The New England Patriots may well be without their longest-tenured and perhaps most respected player for the rest of the season, as an NFL source said Tuesday that running back Kevin Faulk suffered a torn right anterior cruciate ligament in Sunday’s loss to the Jets. It is the third time in as many years one of New England’s key offensive players went down with this injury.

Last year, it was Wes Welker, and in 2008, it was Tom Brady. In the fourth quarter, Faulk got the ball from Brady on a first-down play and ran wide left, toward the Jets sideline.

New York cornerback Drew Coleman knocked Faulk out of bounds by lunging at his knees. Faulk is the franchise leader in kickoff returns, kickoff-return yardage and total return yardage.

• Texans tackle gets 4-game drug suspension: Houston Texans left tackle Duane Brown has been suspended for four games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance enhancing drugs. Brown said Tuesday he “unknowingly took a supplement tainted with a banned substance.” Brown’s suspension begins immediately, meaning he will miss the undefeated Texans’ showdown Sunday with the Dallas Cowboys. His first game back will be Nov. 1 at Indianapolis.

• Michigan State football coach released from hospital: Mark Dantonio was released from Lansing’s Sparrow Hospital on Tuesday afternoon, Michigan State announced. Dantonio was taken to the hospital Sunday after suffering a heart attack following MSU’s 34-31 overtime victory over Notre Dame. He had an angioplasty within two hours, inserting a stent to open a blocked blood vessel near the heart.

• Redskins cut RB Johnson: Larry Johnson was released by the Washington Redskins on Tuesday after gaining just 2 yards on five carries in two games with the team.

To replace Johnson, the Redskins agreed to terms with Chad Simpson, a third-year back who was cut by the Buffalo Bills at the end of preseason. Clinton Portis has remained the team’s No. 1 back.

• Falcons RB Norwood out for season: The Atlanta Falcons placed backup running back Jerious Norwood on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday because of a knee injury, forcing the team to make two moves to add depth. Norwood hurt his right knee on a kickoff return at the start of a 41-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Falcons signed two running backs Tuesday.

Gartrell Johnson III was added to the active roster, and Shawnbrey McNeal joined the practice squad.

Baseball • Tests show Hamilton has small fracture in ribs: Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton has a small fracture in his ribs.

Hamilton, who has been out since crashing into a wall making a catch Sept. 4, underwent tests that found a fracture two previous X-rays and an MRI did not show. General manager Jon Daniels says Hamilton was given an anti-inflammatory injection and an epidural nerve-block injection for pain.

• MRI on Mauer’s knee shows minor inflammation: The Minnesota Twins say an MRI on Joe Mauer’s sore left knee shows only tissue inflammation and no structural damage. Manager Ron Gardenhire says Mauer may need a cortisone shot to help with the pain, but only expects his catcher to be out for a few more days. If he does take a shot, Gardenhire said the reigning AL MVP will miss four or five games tops.

Colorado OK’d to join Pac-10 Conference a year early McClatchy-Tribune News Service It will be the Pac-12 next fall, after all.

Colorado’s Board of Regents accepted terms of an exit agreement Tuesday with the Big 12 Conference, ending a lengthy negotiation and clearing the way for the school to join the Pacific10 Conference for the 2011 football season.

Colorado agreed to pay the Big 12 approximately $6.86 million.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL “This agreement was accomplished through a respectful process that all parties believe is fair,” Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe said in a prepared statement.

Colorado and Utah accepted invitations from the Pac-10 in June. While there was never any question that Utah would

join in time for the 2011 season, Colorado’s status was uncertain as it negotiated an exit fee with the Big 12.

As recently as two weeks ago, Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott said the chances of Colorado joining next fall were “worse than 50-50” and that the holdup was “purely financial.”

But as the deadline approached for both conferences to set their 2011 football schedules, Colorado and the Big 12 reached an agreement.

“We are very excited that Colorado will be joining the conference in 2011,” Scott said in a statement released by the Pac10. “Our plans all along were for them to join the conference in 2012, so this puts the Pac-12 ahead of schedule, which is great

news. With Colorado and Utah coming on board next year, we are tremendously excited about the future of the conference.”

The Colorado development means: • The Pac-10 will become the Pac-12 next summer, when Utah and Colorado join the conference.

• The Pac-12 will split into two six-team divisions for football next fall. The specifics are

expected to be completed late next month when the league’s presidents and chancellors meet.

The conference is evaluating two options: Splitting the league in a North-South manner or dividing up the natural rivals.

• The Pac-12 probably will stage a football championship game in December 2011, matching the first-place teams from each division.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL NL ROUNDUP Phillies 5, Braves 3 PHILADELPHIA — Roy Halladay became Philadelphia’s first 20-game winner in 28 years, Jayson Werth hit a three-run homer and the Phillies increased their lead in the NL East to five games with their ninth straight win, 5-3 over Atlanta on Tuesday night.

Halladay (20-10) allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings to reach 20 wins for the third time in his career. Hall of Famer Steve Carlton was the last to do it for the Phillies when he won 23 in 1982.

AL ROUNDUP Twins 6, Indians 4 MINNEAPOLIS — No need for a 163rd game in the AL Central division this year. The Minnesota Twins have this baby wrapped up with plenty of time to spare.

Denard Span’s RBI-single highlighted a four-run eighth inning to rally the Twins to a victory over Cleveland. The thrilling, come-from-behind win coupled with the Chicago White Sox’s 7-2 loss in Oakland made the Twins the first team in the majors to clinch a division title this season, doing it with 11 games to go.

D4 Wednesday, September 22, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Volleyball Continued from D1 Cowgirl sophomore Mikayla Lindburg led all players with 24 kills, including six in the final two games. Fellow sophomore Marissa Pope paced Crook County’s defense with 30 digs.

The Cowgirls connected on 90 percent of their serves Tuesday night, highlighted by the efforts of sophomore Annie Fraser (21 of 23), junior Kirsti Kelso (21 of 24) and freshman Hannah Troutman (17 of 18).

“They just had to get over that hump,” Honl said about her team, which is competing for its fifth consecutive state title this season. “There’s no more of this scaredy-cat stuff. They’re skilled, they’re talented and they’re confident.”

The turning point of the match came in the fourth game with the Cowgirls trailing 11-9.

Crook County broke Mountain View’s serve to make the score 11-10, and then handed the ball off to Fraser, who served three consecutive points, giving the Cowgirls a 14-11 lead.

The Cougars (1-1 IMC) rallied to tie the score once, 16-16, and gave Crook County a scare with the score 22-21, but the home team never retook the lead after Fraser’s turn at the service line.

“We’ve got to be focused,” said Mountain View assistant coach Phuc Huynh, who along with Kristin Bryan guided the Cougars against the Cowgirls.

Mountain View’s Courtney Shearer tips the ball over the fingertips of Crook County defenders Makayla Lindburg, front, and Kelsi Kemper during the second game Tuesday night at Mountain View. ga was in Alaska on Tuesday as part of her induction into the University of Alaska Fairbanks athletic hall of fame.

“This will make us better,” Huynh said. “But we’ve got to keep our composure.”

The fifth and final game was another back-and-forth battle that Mountain View tied 11-11 after an ace by Rachel Buehner.

Crook County won four of the next five points, though, twice scoring off Kirsti Kelso kills.

“We finally know what this feels like,” Lindburg said about the come-from-behind road victory. “We’ve hit that certain level we’ve been looking for.”

While statistics were not available for the Cougars, Mountain View’s offense ran

through junior outside hitter Courtney Shearer and senior middle blocker Sarah Roshak.

“It’s all keeping momentum,” Roshak said. “That’s what we’ve got to work on. Keeping the momentum on our side.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There’s a swagger and style about Clint Bowyer that should put him high on the list of NASCAR’s most likable drivers.

But with just three Sprint Cup wins on his resume, he hasn’t put up the performances needed to capture widespread attention.

That could be on the verge of changing.

Bowyer’s win Sunday in the opening round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship was a breath of fresh air to a NASCAR fan base weary of Jimmie Johnson’s four-year reign of dominance. A blue-collar racer who rose through the ranks of Midwest short track racing, Bowyer so far has resisted being molded into a polished corporate pitchman.

So as Bowyer celebrated his victory with his Richard Childress Racing crew, vice president of competition Mike Dillon pointed out to the boss just how big the win could be for the entire sport.

“He came over to me in the winner’s circle and said, ‘This is the best thing for NASCAR. We need somebody like Clint Bowyer winning races and running for this championship,’” team owner Richard Childress recalled. “He came from the short tracks, the dirt tracks. He’s worked and he’s earned his way to where he is today. He’s very fan friendly. The fans love him.

“It’s what I think NASCAR needs, a new type of hero.”

It’s just one round into the 10race Chase, but NASCAR had to have been pleased with Sunday’s show.

The race was full of twists and turns for the championship contenders, who all insisted the championship couldn’t be won at New Hampshire but it most certainly could be lost. A poor finish in the opener could derail the title hopes of an entire team, and a decent day, well, that could hurdle a driver into the heart of the battle.

It’s what happened to Bowyer, who slid into the 12-driver field as the final seed. Then his win jettisoned him up to second in the standings, just 35 points back of leader Denny Hamlin. He had a similar fate in 2007, when he grabbed his first career victory in the Chase opener and rode the momentum to a career-best thirdplace finish in the standings.

Now, in a season of resurgence for an RCR team that struggled to keep pace with NASCAR’s heavyweights last year, Bowyer could make a similar run.

“I really feel like, why not us?”

Bowyer crew chief Shane Wilson said. “Jimmie Johnson is good, but he’s won four in a row. The last four or five weeks, we’ve been right there with him. He’s not that much better than us. We can do it, and why not us?”

Several teams had the same thoughts as they left New Hampshire stacked in a wide-open field for the championship.

Johnson had an uncharacteristically bad day, surviving a spin only to fall victim to a loose wheel.

He had to pit under green, couldn’t catch a caution and finished 25th, lowest among the Chase drivers.

Although he dropped to seventh in the standings, all may not be lost for the champion: Since the Chase began in 2004, the champion has finished sixth or better at New Hampshire every year but once, in 2006, when Johnson finished 39th but rallied to win the first of his four titles.

He heads to Dover this weekend thinking about another rally, but Tony Stewart may not have the same confidence.

Stewart took the lead from Bowyer late in Sunday’s race, but as both drivers tried to stretch

NASCAR warns team about Bowyer’s car CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR warned Richard Childress Racing that Clint Bowyer’s car came close to failing inspection after his Chase-clinching drive at Richmond.

NASCAR scheduled a Tuesday meeting with RCR officials to go over the No. 33 Chevrolet and determine if the team had not made a mistake in its own calculations.

“They were in the box, but getting close to some of the tolerances and we asked them to come in to see if they aren’t getting off on one of their build sheets,” NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton told The Associated Press.

“We have had their cars in quite a bit, and they were always spot-on. This one just seemed to be different, and we felt we owed it to them to make sure they just aren’t off in one area.”

Bowyer’s car was chosen by NASCAR for random inspection following his sixth-place finish at the Sept. 11 race. The run gave him the 12th and final spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, which began Sunday in New Hampshire.

Even if Bowyer’s car had failed inspection, it wouldn’t have changed the Chase field. The penalty for failed inspections runs anywhere from 50 to 100 points, and Bowyer had a 142-point cushion over Ryan Newman at the end of the Richmond race.

— The Associated Press

their final tank of gas a daunting 92 laps, Stewart failed to conserve enough fuel to make it to the finish. Instead of winning, he finished 24th and dropped to 11th in the standings.

Now he’s got to hope everyone in front of him has at least one slip over the remaining nine races, and after watching some of the comebacks Sunday, it may not happen for Stewart.

Take Hamlin, for example. He was running fourth when he was spun by Carl Edwards and fell to 22nd after a quick pit stop for repairs. Livid over the radio, he calmed down enough to slowly work his way back through the field. Had the race gone just one more lap, he likely would have beaten Bowyer. Instead, he settled for second and maintained his lead in the standings.

Then there was Kevin Harvick, the points leader most of the regular season and Bowyer’s teammate at RCR. A poor first pit stop put him in the hole, and it didn’t seem to get much better over the next several trips down pit road.

Yet he somehow stole a fifthplace finish, and that ability to salvage a bad day has got to have everyone worried.

Same goes for Kyle Busch, who nearly melted down over the radio before he was reined in by crew chief Dave Rogers, who essentially told him to shut up and drive. When it was over, he was ninth and still in the thick of the title race. They’re all gunning for Johnson, and Bowyer believes everyone — himself included — has a shot.

“He’s still the guy everybody is chasing. You’d have to be a fool not to think he’s not going to be the one down to the wire you’re going to be racing for this thing,” he said. “But I have to tell you, this is as strong, since I’ve been in the sport, this is as strong a Chase as ever.”

Clint Bowyer gets out of his car in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H., Sunday.

THE BULLETIN • Wednesday, September 22, 2010 D5

Beavers Continued from D1 Overall, the Broncos have a 16-game winning streak.

The stage this Saturday doesn’t get much bigger in the regular season.

ESPN’s “Game Day” will be there, and the game will be broadcast on national television. That’s because the Beavers are arguably Boise State’s biggest obstacle until Nov. 26 when they face Nevada, a team that upset California.

A convincing win With their national profile diminished ever-so-slightly when Virginia Tech lost to lowertier James Madison, the Broncos need to strengthen their resume before the team can legitimately talk about BCSbusting. They’ll likely have to win convincingly over Oregon State to make their case.

“We’re still a work in prog-

ress,” said coach Chris Petersen. “We need to get through a few more games and see what we have.”

The Beavers have a recent history of knocking off highranking opponents. Oregon State upset No. 3 USC at Reser Stadium in 2006, then beat No. 2 California in Strawberry Canyon in 2007, and memorably toppled the No. 1 Trojans again in 2008.

However, the Beavers haven’t defeated a nonconference opponent ranked that high since 1967 when they defeated thenNo. 2 Purdue 22-14. The Broncos are the highest-ranked nonconference team OSU has played since No. 3 LSU in 2004.

“I really don’t pay attention to rankings, but I know Boise State is a really good team,” Oregon State linebacker Dwight Roberson said.

“We are ready for the challenge to play against a team that has won at home 56 straight times and is third in

the nation. After all, it’s a football game. We’re ready to play and they’re ready to play and Saturday will be a good football game.”

No surprises Because they’ve had some success in high-profile games and because they were able to hang tough with the Horned Frogs at Cowboys Stadium, Oregon State won’t surprise Boise State.

Riley hopes the attention has prepared his team — much like the blue practice field.

“You learn how to handle, and play and focus despite everything that’s going on around you. That’s what we want our program to be and be considered anyway, so the more that becomes commonplace, the better it is for your players,” he said. “They can know that when the ball is kicked off, it’s all about football, regardless of what has gone on. That’s the major lesson for our team.”

Gretchen Yoder, the Oregon Golf Association’s manager of handicapping and course rating, measures the width Monday of the fairway on the fourth hole at Tetherow Golf Club.

Ratings Continued from D1 The golf course usually publishes the rating for each tee on every scorecard. (Bogey ratings are also figured, though few courses actually publish that information.)

According to the USGA, the slope rating measures the relative playing difficulty of a course for players who are not scratch golfers, compared with scratch golfers. It is computed from the difference between the bogey rating and the course rating, multiplied by a constant factor, and is expressed as a whole number from 55 to 155.

The slope and rating is then used as the basis for the USGA’s handicapping system, and less formally, can tell a golfer just how difficult each course is.

If that sounds complicated, you should see the process of determining those numbers. “(The rating process) is not what people think,” says Yoder, a former golf course bartender and longtime OGA volunteer, who took charge of the OGA’s course rating two years ago.

“It’s been kind of shrouded in mystery in the past. We run out and do our thing and go throw some numbers at the golf course and go hide in our closets and leave the head pro there to explain to his members.”

Tools of the trade With the help of charts, graphs, a range finder that helps determine distances and elevations, and a Stimpmeter — not to judge the speed of greens but to calculate a green’s contours — the OGA team sets out.

The team’s job sounds simple enough: determining the challenges that scratch and bogey golfers, both men and women, face at an individual course from each tee box. But like golf itself, it’s not as simple as it sounds.

At Tetherow, the team of about a dozen splits into two teams, one to rate the front nine and the other the back.

And the raters painstakingly comb over each hole, measuring the length of the hole and the obstacles in the golfers’ way.

Watching the raters work is an eye-opening experience.

“If you rate these things and you’re a golfer, you see things you would never see golfing,” says Chris Wood, a Redmond resident who has been a volunteer rater for more than five years.

The team uses a uniform

shot length for each hole. For instance, Yoder says, a woman who typically plays bogey golf drives the ball about 150 yards with an additional 20 yards of roll for a total of 170 yards.

Those distances from the tee are considered the landing area for a golfer of that skill level.

Landing-area obstacles The raters must figure in the obstacles within that landing area, such as out of bounds, trees in play, bunkers, water or extreme rough. In addition, raters must evaluate the difficulty for a golfer to escape the rough or maneuver around a tree on his or her next shot.

From the initial landing area, the crew must repeat the process for each subsequent landing area. (A par 5, for instance, has two landing areas).

With the number of fairway obstacles at Tetherow, a mounded, scraggly and well-bunkered moonscape of a links course, raters must be thorough.

Yoder has been here before.

When training to be a course rater, she actually measured some at Tetherow.

Now, as she looks out at the par-5 second hole, with its split fairway and mounding in the middle, “my jaw just dropped,” she says.

Yoder is much more experienced now, though she is fond of saying that she learns something new every time out (and she rates about 30 golf courses each year).

She needs that experience on the greens.

Green treatment The rating crew must measure the diameter of the greens, which would not be so difficult if all greens were perfect circles.

Of course, few actually are, and at Tetherow, few of the greens are even close.

Jeanne Biggerstaff, a Newberg resident and OGA volunteer, approaches the green on the par-4 fourth hole — an elongated, three-tiered green with a massive bunker protecting its entire left side — and says, “This is not your green 101, that’s for sure.”

Biggerstaff adds: “This one is going to take some conversation.”

To measure a green, the team first figures its diameter and then subtracts areas where a pin could not be placed, such as the side of a small hill. Tetherow, where greens look more

like waves than flat surfaces, can inspire plenty of debate.

On the par-3 seventh hole, the size of the green comes down to a show of hands.

Rating crew members all work with USGA forms, entering in a numerical value for each measurement. (For instance, if a hole is between 340 and 379 yards long, and the fairway is between 40 and 50 yards wide, a seemingly meaningless “2” is entered on the form. That number will be entered into a computer program later.)

“You have to like numbers,” Yoder says. “We’ve got engineers, and math people, and one of my guys is actually a nuclear engineer. These are number people.”

5-hour process The measuring process at Tetherow takes about five hours — longer than at most courses — and the crew spends the afternoon playing the track.

“The rating itself is obviously more important than the golfing,” Yoder says. “The golf part of it is a very strong suggestion from the USGA … because you go out and you might see something that you missed when you were rating when you are actually playing.

“The key is not playing it for score as much as playing to check (the course) out.”

The process for Yoder has only begun, though. She will return to the OGA’s Woodburn office and enter each of those seemingly meaningless numerical values — hundreds of them for each course — into a USGA computer program. That takes days.

From there, Yoder says, a computer does the work.

“It’s probably five to six days of work for each course when I average it all out,” she says.

But with the other courses the OGA is rating, it could take weeks before Yoder gets a final slope and rating.

And that’s if there are no mistakes that would send Yoder back to Tetherow to recheck her work.

“I’ve only been doing this for a couple of years now, but you still go out and look and you say, ‘Wait a minute. How am I supposed to do this?’” Yoder says. “Because there is just so many different ways to affect the rating with little tweaky things here and there.”
