‘We’re not OK with that’

SCOOTR falling short on funds to get clothes, toys for needy children

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

By Leon Pantenburg For The Bulletin

All the little girl wanted for Christmas was a blanket for her little brother. Or some PJs and underwear. Maybe a warm coat? And could Santa please leave something for Mom, too? It’s requests like these, scrawled in a child’s handwriting, that have inspired countless hours from S C O O T R volunteers in south Deschutes County. For the past 12 SPIRIT years, needy OF THE kids in South Deschutes SEASON County have had a better Christmas, thanks to SCOOTR, a group based in La Pine. But as of Friday, SCOOTR (an acronym for South Central Oregon Outreach and Toy Run) members are wondering where the money will come from to take care of all the Christmas wishes. “After all our fundraising efforts this year, we’re about $5,000 short of what we need,” says Ann Gawith, SCOOTR secretary. “But we’re already making plans for which items we may need to cut.” Every year, SCOOTR raises about $20,000 to provide more than 650 needy children with Christmas presents. Usually, SCOOTR has raised that amount by now, Gawith said, but the recent shortfall has come from a combination of reduced giving and more need. See SCOOTR / A5

Anti-bullying mentors Mayra Morales, second from left, and Aranna Hale show a group of sixth-graders at Elton Gregory Middle School some techniques to get bullies to back off.

Bullying and its sometimes deadly consequences have gotten plenty of national attention this year. Over the past several months national media have reported several high-profile cases of students in middle school, high school and college committing suicide after relentless bullying. Schools around Central Oregon run anti-bullying programs,

workshops and assemblies, all in an attempt to prevent such tragedies from taking place in the High Desert. They try to create positive cultures in their schools that help students feel safe and make them want to come to school. But some students say no matter what happens, bullying in some form will always be a part of school. “The first thing we know is that when you gather 800 students in a school, there will be bullying,”

High Desert Middle School Principal Gary DeFrang said. “But we’re not OK with that.” Two years ago, teachers and administrators shifted their focus on harassment and bullying to take a more proactive stance. Administrators began educating students on exactly what they should do if they were bullied. “If you want students to do something, you’ve got to teach them,” DeFrang said. See Bullying / A5

With U.S. gone, Iraqi workers in limbo Budget cuts have Americans’ withdrawal leaves many locals colleges saying adieu struggling to find work in anemic job market to some languages By Jack Healy

New York Times News Service

TIKRIT, Iraq — Qahtan Kareem is a businessman whose main business — the United States — is leaving town. He made his fortune buying and reselling scrap and surplus from military bases. Now, as the U.S. Army withdraws from Iraq, he is grim about the future of his company and its 430 employees. “It’s going to be a disaster,” he said, sitting in an office lined

with framed photographs of him with U.S. officers. “There are no jobs outside American camps.” While the political and security consequences of the U.S. withdrawal have yet to be fully resolved, its economic effects have already taken a sharp toll on the tens of thousands of Iraqis who earned their livelihoods, sometimes at great risk, working for the military and the legions of U.S. civilian and defense contractors.

ALBANY — The bad news was not unexpected: sweeping cutbacks at the State University of New York at Albany, prompted by sweeping cutbacks in state aid. But then came an op-ed article in the French newspaper Le Monde, calling the cuts Orwellian. If the cuts have struck a nerve far from this upstate campus and in more than one language, it is in large part because they involve language itself. The university announced this fall that new students could no longer major in French, Italian, Russian and the classics. See Languages / A5

Meet the military’s newest forces: robots

MOSCOW — The authorities have dismissed software piracy charges against one of Russia’s best-known environmental groups after Microsoft indicated that it would no longer support the case. The police in the Siberian city of Irkutsk raided the offices of the group, Baikal Environmental Wave, last January and confiscated 12 computers, all but paralyzing its operations. Investigators said they believed that Baikal Wave had unlicensed Microsoft software on its computers, but the environmentalists said the motivation for the raid was political. The authorities dropped the charges after The New York Times published an extensive account of the case Sept. 12 that prompted Microsoft to overhaul its policies in Russia.

They may help save lives, but can they really replace humans?

Microsoft pulls plug on case against environmental group By Clifford J. Levy

FORT BENNING, Ga. — War would be a lot safer, the Army says, if only more of it were fought by robots. And while smart machines are already very much a part of modern warfare, the Army and its contractors are eager to add more. New robots are being designed to handle a broader range of tasks, from picking off snipers to serving as indefatigable night sentries. In a mock city here used by Army Rangers for urban combat training, a 15-inch robot with a video camera scuttles around a bomb factory on a spying mission. Overhead, an almost-silent drone aircraft with a 4-foot wingspan transmits images of the buildings below. Onto the scene rolls a sinister-looking vehicle on tank treads, about the size of a riding lawn mower, equipped with a machine gun and a grenade launcher. Three backpack-clad technicians, standing out of the line of fire, operate the three robots with wireless video-game-style controllers. One swivels the video camera on the armed robot until it spots a sniper on a rooftop. The machine gun pirouettes, points and fires in two rapid bursts. Had the bullets been real, the target would have been destroyed. The machines not only protect soldiers, but also are never distracted, using an unblinking digital eye, or “persistent stare,” that automatically detects even the smallest motion. Nor do they ever panic under fire.

Controversial idea “One of the great arguments for armed robots is they can fire second,” said Joseph Dyer, a former vice admiral and the chief operating officer of iRobot, which makes robots that clear explosives as well as the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner. When a robot looks around a battlefield, he said, the remote technician who is seeing through its eyes can take time to assess a scene without firing in haste at an innocent person. Yet the idea that robots on wheels or legs, with sensors and guns, might someday replace or supplement human soldiers is still a source of extreme controversy. Because robots can stage attacks with little immediate risk to the people who operate them, opponents say that robot warriors lower the barriers to warfare, potentially making nations more trigger-happy and leading to a new technological arms race. But robot combatants are supported by a range of military strategists, officers and weapons designers — and even some human rights advocates.

The Modular Advanced Armed Robotic System The MAARS robots first attracted the military’s interest as a defensive system during an Army Ranger exercise at Fort Benning, Ga., in 2008. Used as a nighttime sentry against infiltrators equipped with thermal imaging vision systems, the battery-powered MAARS unit remained invisible — it did not have the heat signature of a human being — and could “shoot” intruders with a laser tag gun without being detected itself, said Bob Quinn, a vice president at QinetiQ. MAARS is the descendant of an earlier experimental system built by QinetiQ. Three armed prototypes were sent to Iraq and created a brief controversy after they pointed a weapon inappropriately because of a software bug. However, QinetiQ executives said the real shortcoming of the system was that it was rejected by Army legal officers because it did not follow military rules of engagement — for example, using voice warnings before firing guns. MAARS robots are now equipped with a loudspeaker so they can issue warnings and launch tear gas grenades before firing their machine guns.

ties. Moreover, the military now routinely uses more than 6,000 tele-operated robots to search vehicles at checkpoints as well as to disarm one of the enemies’ most effective weapons: the IED, or improvised explosive device. Yet the shift to automated warfare may offer only a fleeting strategic advantage to the United States. Fifty-six nations are now developing robotic weapons, said Ron Arkin, a Georgia Institute of Technology roboticist and a government-financed researcher who has argued that it is possible to design “ethical” robots that conform to the laws of war and the military rules of escalation. But the ethical issues are far from simple. Earlier this year, in Germany, an international group including artificial intelligence researchers, arms control specialists, human rights advocates and government officials called for agreements to limit the development and use of tele-operated and autonomous weapons. The group, known as the International Committee for Robot Arms Control, said warfare was accelerated by automated systems, undermining the capacity of human beings to make responsible decisions. For example, a gun that was designed to function without humans could shoot an attacker more quickly and without a soldier’s consideration of subtle factors on the battlefield.

Charges are dropped after company withdraws its support for investigation

The article described how in Irkutsk and across the country, prosecutors and the police had regularly used the pretext of software piracy investigations to undermine advocacy groups and opposition media outlets. Private lawyers retained by Microsoft had often assisted in these investigations, referring to the company as a victim and asking that criminal charges be brought. The company had rebuffed appeals from those being investigated, saying that it was only following the law. Baikal Wave did not learn that the software piracy case had been closed until recently. After repeatedly asking the Irkutsk police for information, the group said it received a terse letter from police officials explaining that they had ended the inquiry on Sept. 22 because of the “absence of a criminal act.” Baikal Wave had from the start maintained that all its software was legal, but the police had continued to pursue the case, and for months, the group

had faced the prospect of criminal sanctions, including possible jail time for its leaders. It appears that the authorities could not move forward in part because Microsoft would no longer help them. The day after the article was published in The Times, Microsoft apologized for its role in these cases and said it would no longer have any involvement in them. The decision would seem to have made it very difficult for the authorities to deploy what had been an increasingly common law enforcement tactic against government critics.

Credibility tainted Microsoft also contacted police officials in Irkutsk and urged them to drop the Baikal Wave case, according to Marina Levina, a spokeswoman for Microsoft in Moscow. “With the benefit of hindsight, we realize we perhaps could have done more” to help Baikal Wave, Levina said. Galina Kulebyakina, a cochairwoman of Baikal Wave, said Microsoft’s turnabout had damaged the credibility of the Irkutsk police’s case. “They had no choice but to dismiss the charges,” Kulebyakina said. She said the authorities had not formally announced their decision because they were embarrassed at how the case had turned out. Baikal Wave has long contended that the police carried out the raid to prevent the group from organizing a demonstration against a decision by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to reopen a paper factory that has polluted nearby Lake Baikal for decades. The lake by some estimates holds 20 percent of the world’s fresh water. The police in Irkutsk did not respond to requests for comment. In earlier statements, police officials had said that the Baikal Wave inquiry had nothing to do with the group’s activities. In addition to changing its policies in Russia, Microsoft announced a major plan to help the nonprofit sector and to prevent political crackdowns from being carried out by the authorities under the guise of software piracy inquiries.

Futuristic network “A lot of people fear artificial intelligence,” said John Arquilla, executive director of the Information Operations Center at the Naval Postgraduate School. “I will stand my artificial intelligence against your human any day of the week, and tell you that my AI will pay more attention to the rules of engagement and create fewer ethical lapses than a human force.” Arquilla argues that weapons systems controlled by software will not act out of anger and malice and, in certain cases, can already make better decisions on the battlefield than humans. His faith in machines is already being tested. “Some of us think that the right organizational structure for the future is one that skillfully blends humans and intelligent machines,” Arquilla said. “We think that that’s the key to the mastery of 21st-century military affairs.”

6,000 robots in use Automation has proved vital in the wars America is fighting. In the air in Iraq and Afghanistan, unmanned aircraft with names like Predator, Reaper, Raven and Global Hawk have kept countless soldiers from flying sor-

As the debate continues, so do the Army’s automation efforts. In 2001, Congress gave the Pentagon the goal of making one-third of the ground combat vehicles remotely operated by 2015. That seems unlikely, but there have been significant steps in that direction. Such programs represent a resurgence in the development of autonomous systems in the wake of costly failures and the cancellation of the Army’s most ambitious such program in 2009. That program was once estimated to cost more than $300 billion and expected to provide the Army with an array of manned and unmanned vehicles linked by a futuristic information network. Now, the shift toward developing smaller, lighter and less expensive systems is unmistakable. Supporters say it is a consequence of the effort to cause fewer civilian casualties. The Predator aircraft, for example, is being equipped with smaller, lighter weapons than the traditional 100-pound Hellfire missile, with a smaller killing radius. At the same time, military technologists assert that teleoperated, semi-autonomous and autonomous robots are the best way to protect the lives of American troops.

Iran touts nuclear breakthrough Nation says it has enriched uranium from its own mine

4 elections officials jailed in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan — Four officials of an Afghan election commission were arrested Sunday by President Hamid Karzai’s government, which has been deeply critical of the panel’s handling of disputed parliamentary elections. The arrests were confirmed by Abdullah Ahmadzai, the chief electoral officer of the panel, called the Independent Election Commission. Those arrested included the head of the commission’s logistics department and three lower-level employees. Ahmadzai said the attorney general ordered the four taken from the commission’s offices for questioning in a 2009 case, but that the police then ordered their detention. A Western diplomat, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the arrests appeared to be a face-saving move by the attorney general, who has been under strong political pressure to act against the election commission.

Iran on Sunday claimed for the first time to have used domestically mined uranium ore to make the material needed for uranium enrichment. It called the step a major advance in its atomic program, sending a defiant message before a new round of talks on Iran’s suspect nuclear activities. Western experts said the progress appeared to be more symbolic than substantive and did not bear immediately on whether Iran could accelerate its efforts at enriching uranium, which can fuel either reactors

or atom bombs. But Iran’s successful processing of uranium ore from a domestically mined source, which it has been working on for years, suggested the Iranians had found a way to bypass U.N. sanctions that ban them from importing raw uranium. The announcement also reflected Iran’s intention to show it remains undaunted in its pursuit of nuclear capabilities, despite some significant recent setbacks. Those setbacks include increased economic isolation from a range of U.N. sanctions, the mysterious bombing attacks on two Iranian nuclear scien-

Greek police say arrests foiled attack ATHENS — Greek police officials said Sunday that they had averted an imminent terrorist attack by arresting six people believed linked to domestic terrorist activities, including two suspected members of a group that had claimed responsibility for letter bombs sent to embassies in Athens and foreign leaders last month. A series of police raids on homes in Athens and other Greek cities over the weekend also turned up weapons and explosives the police believe may have been intended for use in the planned attack. The target or targets were not clear. A police spokesman said two of the six suspects were arrested after witnesses saw them Saturday night outside a house in a southern suburb of Athens carrying suspicious-looking rucksacks, which were found to contain two submachine guns and other unspecified weapons.

British lawmaker’s aide accused of spying LONDON — A Russian aide to a British House of Commons member has been detained by the security services on suspicion of espionage and faces deportation, the lawmaker said Sunday. Katia Zatuliveter has worked as a parliamentary assistant for nearly three years. The London newspaper The Sunday Times first reported that Zatuliveter had connections with the Russian foreign intelligence service. A former British intelligence operative said in an interview Sunday that Zatuliveter’s arrest was part of a campaign by British security services to flush out Russian spies working outside the Russian Embassy in London. — From wire reports

In Tehran on Sunday, Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Iran’s nuclear program, said the country had succeeded for the first time in domestically producing uranium concentrate from ura-

Christmas homecoming is a risky trek for Mexicans By Stephen Magagnini McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The annual Mexican Christmas pilgrimage, traditionally a joyous journey culminating in pozole stew and Nativity re-enactments, is now fraught with fear and foreboding. About a million Mexican immigrants are expected to return to Mexico this month to share the holidays with relatives they left behind years ago. Most are driving. And many, including Sacramento State freshman Alex Rodriguez, wonder if they’ll make it to Christmas dinner without being robbed, shot or kidnapped. “My mom doesn’t want me to drive down there,” said Rodriguez, 18, who was born in Mexico and raised in California. “My uncle was shot to death at 11 a.m. at a car wash in Choix, Sinaloa, in August. My mom said if you’re in the business of drugs, that’s your destiny.” But the menace reaches beyond the drug cartels. The vio-

“We are urging people not to drive at night, to use federal highways as much as possible instead of local roads, and not to travel with cash.” — Carlos Gonzalez Gutierrez, Mexican consul general in Sacramento, Calif. lence that’s claimed more than 28,000 lives in the last four years has spread to Mexico’s highways, where bandits — many posing as state or federal police — have robbed cars with U.S. plates. It has also seeped into the lives of local immigrants and their families. Some who planned to open businesses gave up when ordered to pay protection. Others have seen their real estate investments in Mexico plummet. Several say their relatives have

received phone calls threatening to kidnap their American cousins for ransom. And nearly everyone has heard stories of cars hijacked or stopped unless the drivers pay bribes. The Mexican government recognizes the challenges of navigating roads through the drug wars and for the first time has created a network of government escorts and way stations to help protect passengers traveling home for the holiday season. Caravans of five or more vehicles heading into Mexico, particularly the violence-torn states of Sinaloa and Tamaulipas, can receive an escort if they register their routes with the Mexican government. “Nearly everyone’s somehow affected by the fight against drug trafficking and organized crime,” said Carlos Gonzalez Gutierrez, Sacramento’s Mexican consul general. “We are urging people not to drive at night, to use federal highways as much as possible instead of local roads, and not to travel with cash.”

nium ore mined inside Iran. The concentrate, known as yellowcake, is a precursor to the uranium fed into spinning centrifuges for enrichment. “This means that Iran has become self-sufficient in the entire fuel cycle,” Salehi declared. He said at a televised news conference that the announcement meant “we will be taking part in the negotiations with strength and power.” Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said the yellowcake was produced at the Gachin uranium mine in southern Iran and delivered to the uranium conversion facility in the central city of Isfahan for processing into uranium destined for the thousands of centrifuges of Natanz.

Nuclear talks begin today Iran and six world powers are heading into negotiations about the country’s nuclear program today with low expectations, at odds on what to talk about and with tensions high over the assassination of one of Tehran’s most prominent scientists. The talks in Geneva are meant to ease concerns over Iran’s nuclear agenda. Tehran says it does not want atomic arms, but it is building on its capacity to make such weapons. — The Associated Press

Lawmakers upbeat on extension of tax cuts, unemployment benefits By Richard Simon Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — Facing dire political consequences for both sides, Republican and Democratic leaders on Sunday appeared to be coalescing around a compromise plan that would not only continue Bush-era tax cuts for all taxpayers, but also extend government benefits to unemployed workers. “I’m optimistic we’ll be able to come together,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told NBC’s “Meet the Press,” just a day after Republicans blocked a Democratic effort in the Senate to extend the tax cuts for the middle class, but not the very wealthy. On CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Senate Democratic Whip Richard Durbin of Illinois bolstered the possibility of an agreement saying, “We’re moving in that direction.” While Republicans and Democrats appeared ready to embrace, some political analysts said it was more like they were being shoved together out of self-preservation. “Both Republicans and Democrats seem to be boxed into a deal,” said Brian Darling, director of government relations for the conservative Heritage Foundation. “Democrats seem terrified of being blamed for taxes going up on January 1st of next year. Republicans

seem terrified of being called obstructionists. They are concerned that they will be accused of bad faith going into a new Congress.” “A deal is imminent,” said Greg Valliere, chief political strategist for the Potomac Research Group. “This is a throwback to the days when horsetrading was common. Everyone will get something.” Republicans have sought to extend the Bush tax cuts to all income levels and have threatened to block virtually every piece of legislation in the Senate until they get their way. Senate Democrats have favored eliminating the tax cuts for the wealthy, saying they could add $700 billion to the federal deficit over 10 years. One of their priorities has been to extend unemployment benefits. The standoff between the two parties came to a head Saturday, when Democrats, facing a unified Republican opposition, were unable to remove the tax cuts for families making more than $250,000 a year. They also failed in a second effort to eliminate the cuts for families making $1 million a year. But with each side sensing the political danger in doing nothing, both sides appear to have found common political purpose in moving toward compromise.

Deadly blaze in Israel is under control New York Times News Service JERUSALEM — A deadly forest fire that had raged for four days has been brought “more or less under control,” an Israeli police official said Sunday evening, crediting assistance from an international fleet of more than 30 firefighting aircraft.

As dusk fell over the wooded hills of the Carmel range, near the port city of Haifa, thousands of residents who were evacuated from area villages began returning to their homes, scores of which had been gutted by flames. Sunday was also a day of funerals across the country for many

of the 41 people killed by the fire, the worst in Israel’s history. As the flames died down, more questions about responsibility for the disaster arose. Two brothers, 14 and 16, from a Druse village in the Carmel hills, appeared in court Sunday, suspected of starting the fire through negligence.

SCOOTR Continued from A1 “People are hit hard in this economy, and they just don’t have enough income to donate,” she said. “And because of lost jobs and other associated economic problems, there are more people who need help.” SCOOTR was started in 1998 as a “motorcycle-oriented” organization, according to Gawith. SCOOTR founders Lynn and Denise Hatch, of La Pine, were originally part of the Bend area Toy Run, and decided to focus their fundraising efforts on their own community. “Only a small portion of the monies and toys that were being raised at the Bend toy run were finding their way to south Deschutes County,” says Gawith. “The Hatches started SCOOTR and began their own fundraising efforts.” SCOOTR’s turf starts at Sunriver, and goes south to Chemult and west to Christmas Valley. Since the Hatches are motorcycle riders, SCOOTR events were originally geared toward the motorcycle community. SCOOTR fundraising efforts are focused around three major events each year, Gawith said, which generally bring in about $36,000.

Fundraising events The first event is the Icebreaker Poker Run, Gawith said, held the third Saturday in May. Next is the Summer Eruption, held the third Saturday in July, a three-day motorcycle rally and camp-out. The rally is the club’s biggest fundraiser, closely followed by the 3-year-old Toy Run and Casino Night, held the weekend before Thanksgiving. Today, SCOOTR members are about half bikers and half non-riders. “We’re proud to say that 95 percent of the money SCOOTR raises goes to the kids,” Gawith said. “We are all unpaid volunteers, and

Bullying Continued from A1 At High Desert, the school focuses on the “Stop, Walk, Talk” system. Students being bullied tell the bully to stop, then walk away. If that doesn’t work, they should talk to an adult about the problem. The school has also tried to communicate this idea to parents. During the 2009-10 school year, administrators and teachers drilled the idea into students’ heads. At the end of the school year, students approached teachers Andy Worcester and Mark Koopman to say they wanted to get involved in anti-bullying work.

Lessons in empathy On the first Friday of school this year, a schoolwide assembly featured an empathy lesson. The program has ramped up since, with the group of seventh-graders organizing a series of lessons throughout October about bullying. They created videos and, at the end of the month, held a purple pride day. Students wore purple, the school’s color and also the color for national bullying prevention month; they made purple bracelets to include everyone. “It’s so cool to see their involvement and their leadership,” Worcester said. “We’ve just got to get out of the way.” Students have also created posters, and more pieces of the ongoing program are on the way. “We don’t want this to be the flavor of the month,” Koopman said. “We want this to just be HDMS.” All students recently took a survey asking them about bullying; DeFrang said 95 percent of students said they felt safe in school. After the focus on bullying and how to report issues, the school saw a jump in reports, though DeFrang couldn’t provide a specific number. But Koopman said that’s not a bad thing. “It’s not necessarily a negative,” he said. “Kids are coming forward, and nothing can be done by staff and adults if we don’t know about it.” When a student is bullying or harassing another student, administrators try to figure out why it’s happening and always call home to make sure the family knows what has happened. Before consequences, DeFrang said, he tries to help the student change his or her behavior. “The kids tell us,” Worcester said, “the number one reason is that they don’t feel good. They’re trying to pick themselves up. ... They’re trying to be cool, fit in and not be (themselves).” Worcester said the school’s WEB program, which is run at the start of the year and pairs eighth-grade students with sixthgrade students, has also helped improve the school’s culture. “They’ll go to each other much

we keep our fundraising costs to a bare minimum.” In 2009, SCOOTR records show the club donated more than $10,000 to various area youth groups. Some of these donations included working with the La Pine Lions Club to provide eye exams and corrective lenses to needy kids. SCOOTR also gave scholarships to disadvantaged youths attending a music conference, as well as donations to the La Pine School Sports Program, a teen girls Resolve Conference and Special Olympics. For many years, SCOOTR has helped send a child to the Muscular Dystrophy Association Summer Camp. SCOOTR finds out about needy kids at Christmas when families apply for a La Pine Christmas Basket Association food basket through St. Vincent de Paul or the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office. The food basket application includes a section to name the kids in the family, along with their needs, what toys they want, clothing sizes, etc. “These names and descriptions are put out on various ‘Trees of Joy’ in area businesses,” Gawith said. “SCOOTR takes the names left on the trees after a certain cutoff date, and we go shopping.” The children’s real names are not used, to preserve anonymity.

A team of 20 to 25 shoppers does all the buying in one weekend. “We shop on Saturday at the La Pine Bi-Mart, and they open early for SCOOTR and bring in the entire staff to help us shop,” Gawith said. “Then we shop on Sunday for whatever items we couldn’t get at Bi-Mart, such as teen and baby clothes.” Even during Christmastime, SCOOTR’s emphasis is on useful items. “Our primary shopping focus is clothing,” Gawith said. “Really, some of the requests from the kids are for simple items like underwear or a warm coat, or even sheets and blankets.” Other requests are for beds and reading lamps, musical instruments, art supplies and dance classes. “We always go for clothes first and try to fill the other requests if we can. But it is Christmas and these are just kids, so we try to include a toy item as well,” Gawith said. “Even when they don’t ask, we find an age- and gender-appropriate item to put in their bag.” That’s where the Toy Run comes into play. “We rely on those donated toys to help fill the bags,” Gawith said. “That way our funds can be spent on clothes.”

more than us,” Worcester said. “This way they’ve got multiple doors to walk through.” The situation is similar at Elton Gregory Middle School in Redmond, where Principal John Hartford said he and his staff are trying to create a culture of social responsibility. “Middle school students are a unique challenge in themselves,” he said. “I always tell folks when they’re in elementary they’re too naïve and they don’t know what’s going on, and in high school they’re too mature and know (bullying) is not OK to do. But they kind of figure it out in middle school.” Hartford said it’s the school’s responsibility to help students figure it all out, and he’s chosen to have the school be more proactive about it. Last year, the school started a mentor-mentee program in which seventh- and eighthgraders train as leaders and then help sixth-graders learn the expectations of the school. In 16 areas around school, posters detail the expected behavior. There are expectations for the library, the locker rooms, the staircase. The mentors walked the mentees throughout the school, showing them the signs and displaying the proper behavior. On Thursday, the group introduced to sixth-graders the idea of “Stop, Walk, Talk,” the same program in action at High Desert. “We believe if we can teach them these behaviors up front, we’re not going to have a lot of issues with behavior and kids being bullied and harassed,” Hartford said. And his data seem to show a drop in harassment. The school, with about 700 students, averages one behavior referral each day. Nationally, he said, the average is between seven and 10 referrals. Hartford said when a student comes to a staff member with a problem, the bully is warned. If it happens again, or if the first incident is severe, he might give out an after-school detention or a suspension. Hartford said repeated and targeted bullying results in suspensions, and sometimes, law enforcement gets involved. “We do take it seriously, and we do go to court,” he said. “Our hope is that we can do enough modeling and preparation ahead of time, and make those connections for kids so that we don’t have a lot of those situations.” But for all that the schools do, some high school students say there’s not much that can be done to prevent bullying. Summit High Principal Lynn Baker said he doesn’t think there’s much bullying taking place at his school. The school will hold three challenge days in January to promote student acceptance, but Summit doesn’t do many bullying awareness or prevention events. Instead, he said, it’s about creating a positive culture. Sitting at a table in the commons during a free period, Summit students said they do see

other students being harassed, usually verbally. “I think it’s just a part of school,” said Jack Menefee, a 16year-old sophomore. Jack’s friend Spencer Timm, 15, said he doesn’t get bullied because he’s big, and Dillon Randall, 16, agreed. “It’s the vulnerable ones that get bullied,” he said. “They’re trying to fit in, and people don’t want them to fit in.”

Misuse of Facebook The boys said students mostly are mocked or harassed for their appearances. And much of the bullying happens on Facebook. “Facebook starts a lot of things because people can hide behind it,” Spencer said. “Yeah, people use it as a shield,” said 17-year-old Tyler Hasenoehrl. At another table, Anthony Carlan, 17, said he is sure bullying happens but doesn’t believe it’s out of control. “I haven’t seen a fight since I’ve been here,” he said. “I’m sure there’s name-calling. It’s mostly verbal.” Anthony and Alberto Dorantes, 18, said the mockery they hear most often relates to a student’s race. “Like if they don’t know how to speak English,” Alberto said. Ben Blauvelt, seated at a nearby table, agreed. He said because the school is predominantly white, minorities are sometimes the butt of jokes. What could all the Summit students agree on? Going to a teacher or an administrator is not an option. “It might help for the short term,” said Holton Melville, 17. “But they might find out you ratted them out, so it’s even worse.” And those anti-bullying programs? “The kids who need it will blow it off,” Ben said. “It might work in the short term, but then it will swing back to normal.” Bend High Principal H.D. Weddel said his school has a low tolerance for harassment. “We will drop all things to

SCOOTR also has an ongoing bicycle project, says Gerald Gawith, Ann’s husband and a longtime SCOOTR volunteer. “We collect bicycles all year long, and SCOOTR members refurbish them to give away,” he said. “We receive many, probably close to 50, requests every year for bicycles, and we just could not afford to buy all new bikes. However, we usually receive 10 to 15 new bikes as donations.” Despite all these efforts, the funding shortfall will make filling all the Christmas lists difficult, Ann Gawith said.

Boots, warm coats “When you break it down, we only have about $25 to $30 to spend on each child. We will make sure every kid gets snowboots and a warm coat,” she said. “Then we’ll have to decide where to cut back.” Regardless of how the last-minute fundraising goes, the Gawiths and the entire SCOOTR organization vow no child will be left out. “Absolutely not!” said Gerald Gawith. “We’re hoping some civic organization or benefactor will come through with a big donation. But no kid will wake up on Christmas morning without something.” The bottom line, and payback for all this effort, Gerald said, comes when the toys, clothing and other Christmas items are distributed. “On distribution day, we hand out the bags, and the looks on the kids’ and parents’ faces are our reward,” he said. “Sometimes, when we wheel a bicycle out, the parents cry. There would have been absolutely no way for them to get these things for their kids. It makes all the effort and planning worthwhile.” Leon Pantenburg can be reached at 541-382-1811 or at lpantenburg@bendbulletin.com.

get to that first,” he said. “That’s where everything starts. If you can get it early, it will definitely pay dividends down the road.” At the start of each school year, Weddel and the administration meet with each class to discuss bullying. The school requires students to participate in service projects, and Weddel thinks that helps prevent bullying. “When we’re helping others and serving others, when we reach out to others, it sets a precedent,” he said, noting that he believes bullying is most common at the start of the year and cuts down as the year goes on. “Sometimes it comes in waves,” he said. “We get the most amount of harassment from June to December, especially with the freshmen because the culture hasn’t been set yet.” Bend High junior Haley Wildman said bullying is alive and well: “All sorts. Verbal, cyberbullying, you name it.” She said middle school bullying was pretty bad, too, with cliques and students excluding one another, but that as students get older, bullying dissipates. “I think you learn to accept people and get involved in high school, so there’s not the same interests as in middle school,” she said. Still, she said girls can be really mean. “All sorts of things; they pick out your looks, the way you dress, that kind of thing. Anything people can point out about you.” Jake Severance, 16, said girls tend to be worse about it than boys. “Guys have fights, say some bad words and then be best friends,” he said. He saw more bullying in middle school, and thinks that’s due to students being more childish. But Jake thinks kids who are bullies aren’t going to pay attention to the awareness programs or antibullying work administrators do. “The school does try, but kids who are bullying and do that stuff don’t pay attention. Maybe it kind of works a little bit.”

THE BULLETIN • Monday, December 6, 2010 A5

Languages Continued from A1 The move mirrors similar prunings around the country at other public colleges and universities that are reeling from steep drops in state aid. After a generation of expansion, academic officials are being forced to lop entire majors. More often than not, foreign languages are on the chopping block. The reasons for their plight are many. Some languages may seem less vital in a world increasingly dominated by English. Websites and new technologies offer instant translations. The small, interactive classes typical of foreign language instruction are costly for universities. But the paradox, some experts in higher education say, is that many schools are eliminating language degrees and graduate programs just as they begin to embrace an international mission: opening campuses abroad, recruiting students from overseas and talking about graduating citizens of the world. The University at Albany’s motto is “The World Within Reach.” “There’s no way on earth we should be cutting these languages,” said John Hamilton, executive vice chancellor and provost at Louisiana State University, where officials this year decided to phase out majors in German and Latin, as well as basic instruction in Portuguese, Russian, Swahili and Japanese, after losing $42 million in public financing over the last two years. “We should be adding languages and urging more students to take them,” Hamilton added. “I’m being asked to prepare students for the global economy, but this is almost like asking them to use the abacus instead of computers.” Most public colleges still teach languages, but fewer are allowing students to make them a specialty. The University of Maine’s president, Robert Kennedy, has recommended sus-

The number of Iraqis employed by the U.S. military has plummeted from 44,000 in January 2009, before the United States began to reduce its forces, to about 10,500 now, according to the military’s figures. The number of U.S.-financed contractors and grant recipients fell by 22 percent just during the summer, according to a report by the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction. The newly jobless Iraqis say they are struggling to find work in the country’s anemic private sector or bribe their way into a government job. Some have moved their families to boom towns in

pending undergraduate degree programs in German and Latin. This fall at the University of Nevada, Reno, students can no longer declare majors in German studies or minors in Italian. At Winona State University in Minnesota, officials have placed a moratorium on new majors in French and German while it challenges the faculty to make those disciplines more relevant to the contemporary world. Other schools, public and private, have recently eliminated or diluted the foreign-language component of their core curriculums. Starting next fall at the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences at George Washington University, students will no longer have to take a foreign language to graduate. Bob Peckham, a professor of French at the University of Tennessee at Martin whose own program came under threat, has made it his mission to fight the retrenchments nationwide. As chairman of the Commission on Advocacy of the American Association of Teachers of French, he monitors cutback proposals and provides research that helps campuses tailor their protests. “There are at least 54 foreign-language majors that have been either threatened or eliminated,” Peckham said. “People don’t realize that this is happening in a lot of places.” Still, languages are holding their own on campus. A report due Wednesday from the Modern Language Association, which advocates for language programs nationwide, will show that overall enrollments in college language classes are actually up over 2006, when the last survey was conducted, and are at their highest level since 1960. One reason is a surge of interest in languages like Arabic and Spanish, which is thriving on campus in response to the nation’s growing Latino population. China’s rising importance has prompted more college programs in Mandarin, and the Chinese government has been generous in financing them.

EPA’s water rules puzzle OCA

Coalition formed to promote energy efficiency With help of stimulus grant, groups team up to tout conservation

Agency mandates Oregon base stream quality on daily fish consumption figure

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

Several Central Oregon building and sustainability groups have formed the Bend Energy Efficiency Coalition, a new group that will use a $55,000 stimulus grant to spread the word about energy conservation and efficiency in the region. The Central Oregon Builders Association, Building Green Council of Central Oregon, Earth Advantage Institute, Sustainable Design Services and the local chapter of the Cascadia Region Green Building Council are all participating in the new effort. “What we’re hoping is to make a concerted effort to promote energy efficiency, sustainability (and) wise use of resources in a concerted effort,” said Gretchen Palmer, with the Builders Association. “We’re making sure the community knows how to access that information, and making sure we can get the word out in a better manner.” With money from the grant — federal Department of Energy stimulus money that was granted to the city of Bend, which will distribute it to the coalition — the group will work on marketing to make sure that people know about the different ongoing energy-efficiency programs, she said. The funds will also be used to lower the cost of different classes or events hosted by the individual participants in the Bend Energy Efficiency Coalition. This fall, for example, the Green and Solar Home Tour was free to the public, said Katy Bryce, with the High Desert branch of the Cascadia Region Green Building Council, which organized the event.

CENTRAL OREGON WEATHER

More rain and snow in this week’s forecast By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

More snow and rain are on the way for Central Oregon this week. Joe Solomon, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pendleton, said two weather systems moving into the area will bring more snow and maybe some freezing rain to the region. “Snow levels (today) will be up around 4,000 feet. However, from Bend and Redmond northward, there will be some cold air trapped, so we could see an addition of possible freezing rain in those areas,” Solomon said.

Few inches today Today, Solomon said up to 2 or 3 inches of snow could accumulate in the Sunriver and La Pine areas, while Bend and Redmond residents may see between 1 and 2 inches. The snow will likely fall through midday before tapering off into showers in the afternoon. Temperatures are expected to reach as high as 41 degrees today before dropping to about

30 degrees tonight. On Tuesday, nighttime temperatures may warm up a bit, with the high during the day expected to reach 40 before dropping to about 34 degrees overnight.

Solomon said another storm system may enter the area Tuesday night and Wednesday. With a strong south wind, snow levels will be around 4,500 to 5,000 feet. “The mountains will get walloped pretty good,” he said. For the remainder of the week, Solomon said he expects a westerly flow that will bring good snow to the mountains and a lot of rain for the lower spots in Central Oregon. “It’s just kind of going to be moist and unsettled for the rest of the week,” he said. Wednesday through Friday temperatures will likely reach highs in the mid-40s during the day and lows overnight between 30 and 35 degrees. Sheila G.

175 grams per day Pederson said the EPA is ordering Oregon and other states to adopt rules for setting stream water quality standards based on the new daily fish consumption estimate, which soared from 17.5 grams per day to 175 grams per day. The change in the fish consumption estimate relates to the EPA’s human health toxics criteria, which regulates the level of toxics such as mercury, animal wastes, pesticides and other contaminants that can be in the water column (streams, rivers and lakes) and still be safe for human health, Pederson said. “Exposure to people comes from eating fish that consume those chemicals,” Pederson said. He said 175 grams equates to people eating an average of one fish meal every day, 365 days a year. “That 175 grams is a 10-fold increase in one fell swoop, based mostly on tribal research. Was that challenged?” asked Curtis Martin, a Union County rancher serving as OCA vice president and chairman of the OCA water committee. See Fish / B2

Redmond staff recommends Calif. firm to run Juniper By Patrick Cliff

— Rick Samco, qualifying tournament director

If approved by council, CourseCo will take over ailing golf course

“It turns them on to what a tech job might be like. They’ve got to work as a team and show teamwork, they’ve got to have marketing and people skills.”

Something’s fishy about a tenfold increase in fish consumption estimates the EPA is mandating as a basis for creating new stream water quality standards, according to ranchers attending the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association Convention in Bend over the weekend. Ranchers raised concerns during a presentation by Dick Pederson, director of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.

Redmond city staff have recommended that a Californiabased company be hired to run the city’s financially troubled municipal Juniper Golf Course. If the recommendation is approved by Redmond City Council during its Tuesday meeting, CourseCo, based in Petaluma, Calif., could take over Juniper’s operations by mid-January. CourseCo already runs 17 courses, of which 15 are public. Most of the company’s work is in Northern California, according to a city staff report. The 18-hole Juniper would be CourseCo’s first Oregon course. The move is happening because the city has committed about $900,000 to the course over two years, to help it pay debt service. The city wants the course to be self-sustaining — as originally

planned — rather than a drain on Redmond’s general fund. All of the recent moves follow recommendations made by a Florida-based consulting firm the city hired to review Juniper’s operations. The proposed deal calls for Redmond to pay CourseCo $95,000 in the first year and annually increase the fee to $122,000 over five years. That means CourseCo will not only have to overcome the course’s budget hole but raise revenues enough to cover the fee. City Manager David Brandt said that turnaround will not happen immediately. “I think we’re all optimistic that people are going to like this change and that within a few years (the course) will be able to drive up revenue to pay its debt service,” Brandt said. The details of CourseCo’s turnaround plan are not finalized, according to Brandt, but several aspects of the deal inspire that optimism. CourseCo could not be reached for comment on Friday.

Continued from B1 Brandt pointed to the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purchasing power as it buys supplies, not just for a single course but for more than a dozen. He also believes that the company will improve both the marketing of the course and its customer service, gradually drawing in more players. The company has run courses for more than two decades, Brandt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never, ever lost a contract,â&#x20AC;? Brandt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reference checks were outstanding. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had such uniformly outstanding references like I got for them.â&#x20AC;?

Continued from B1 Pederson said that while most of the research was done by tribal governments, work groups consisting of EPA, DEQ staff and others spent four years working on the new fish consumption estimates between 2004 and 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tribes actually recommended a much higher fish consumption rate of 370 grams per day,â&#x20AC;? Pederson said. That equates to people eating the equivalent of more than two 6ounce meals of fish every day. He said the 175 grams adopted by the EPA reflects what officials felt was an appropriate compromise to protect the most vulnerable segment of the population that eats lots of fish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 175 grams doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell people to eat more fish. It says, make sure people who eat 175 grams of fish arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consuming too much mercury and other contaminants in the water column,â&#x20AC;? Pederson said. Martin pointed out that cattlemen and farmers across the state, in cooperation with the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the state Water Re-

More oversight As part of the turnaround efforts, the city will also take tighter reins on the course. Currently, the city-owned Public Building Corp. runs the course through the Juniper Golf Club. The council is also scheduled to decide on creating a golf commission to report directly to the city and oversee Juniper operations. That shift could also take effect early in 2011, and the city will soon begin searching for anyone interested in serving on the volunteer commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a very involved commission,â&#x20AC;? Public Works Director Chris Doty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to see a lot of community interest.â&#x20AC;?

Draw more locals City leaders have long expressed a desire to draw more locals to Juniper. Doty hopes that will be a result of these moves. The course is a good place to play, he said, but CourseCo could take Juniperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;next step.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this operation is intended to do: change it from what was perhaps perceived to be a semi-private facility into a first-class community asset,â&#x20AC;? Doty said. Regulars at the course will only notice gradual changes, according to Brandt. The timing of CourseCoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed takeover is designed to give the company an opportunity to implement changes while course traffic is low in the winter. One thing that will stay the same, Brandt said, is the quality of the course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are not changes in maintenance and conditions of the course itself,â&#x20AC;? Brandt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things all the proposers noticed is that the course is exquisitely maintained.â&#x20AC;?

Robots Continued from B1 Students build a robot from more than 1,100 LEGO pieces, motors, sensors and gears. Then the students program their robots to maneuver around a tabletop obstacle course. This year, the tableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme was biomedical engineering; students used their robots to repair LEGO bones and administer LEGO medicine. Teams try to complete as many of the missions in the time allotted. Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event was the qualifying tournament for area middle school-aged teams. The top area teams will go to the state tournament in January. Thirteen teams of students ages 9 to 14 participated in the event; some teams represented particular schools, while others are operated through 4-H programs or churches. Each September, teams receive a new, topical challenge. In the past theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been about marine ecology and nanotechnology. Over the next four months,

Martin said. Over the years, Martin said, the onslaught of constantly changing environmental regulations coming from the EPA and other federal and state agencies have driven Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timber industry to the verge of extinction and have made it extremely difficult for people involved in agriculture and other businesses to survive, let alone compete in the global marketplace. In the case of the new EPA fish consumption estimates, Martin said while the old standard of 17.5 grams, or about one fish meal a month, may have been too low, he doubts many people eat fish every day. Coy Cowart, a past OCA president and Linn County livestock auction yard owner, questioned whether the EPA considered, given the depleted world fisheries, if there is even enough fish being harvested or sold in the United States to support the EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new fish consumption estimate.

teams work together to construct a robot and figure out how to solve the missions on the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is to get kids turned on to technology,â&#x20AC;? Samco said. In the tournament, teams get three chances each to complete the board missions; they are also judged on a research project about the subject, their robotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; designs and their teamwork. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It turns them on to what a tech job might be like. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to work as a team and show teamwork, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to have marketing and people skills,â&#x20AC;? Samco said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning life skills.â&#x20AC;? When the teams werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t competing, they were practicing. At tables throughout the Mountain View commons area, students tinkered with their robots, tried new strategies on a practice table, and went over their presentations.

The groups have already created an online calendar listing all of the different events around the region and options people have to learn about energy efficiency,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quite honestly, if a rule comes from the federal government, we have to implement it,â&#x20AC;? Pederson said. He said EPA officials told DEQ officials that if the state didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adopt new rules reflecting the new fish consumption estimates, the EPA would impose a federal rule for the state to follow. Bill Hoyt, a Douglas County rancher elected Saturday to a second term as OCA president, said he would rather have DEQ write the rules with input from Oregon cattlemen and other groups than be subject to federally imposed rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grandpa told me if you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t at the table, you are on the menu,â&#x20AC;? Hoyt said. Pederson said the DEQ is planning to propose draft state water quality standards reflecting the new federal fish consumption estimate in January, followed by a public hearing and comment period to be completed in time to submit final rules to the state Environmental Quality Commission in June for possible approval.

Man arrested for threatening pair A Bend man was arrested on suspicion of menacing and unlawful use of a weapon after he threatened two men with a shotgun Saturday night. According to the Bend Police Department, Gregory David Elder, 27, was walking with his wife and dog in the Providence subdivision in northeast Bend on Saturday around 11:30 p.m. when Mathew David Farrell, 26, and Mathew David Trager, 25, drove past them. The trio argued about Tragerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving; Elder then returned to his home where he got a 12-gauge shotgun and returned to Trager and Farrell near Northeast Robin Court and Northeast Hampton Lane. Elder confronted the pair with the shotgun before returning to his home. He was arrested on suspicion of two counts of menacing and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon and was taken to the Deschutes County jail.

Three arrested for passing fake bills Three men were arrested Saturday by Bend Police for allegedly passing fake $20 bills at a local 7-Eleven. According to a news release, around 6:45 p.m. Saturday Bend Police were called to the

7-Eleven on South Highway 97 on a report that three men had used counterfeit $20 bills. Using information from the clerk, police later stopped a car near Northeast Franklin Avenue and Eighth Street, where they found 18-year-old Tyler Jo Shinkle, who had passed one of the fake bills at 7-Eleven. Bend Police then executed search warrants at the home of Brett Allan Hudspeth and James L. Dhaenes, both 21. There police found counterfeit bills as well as a large amount of U.S. money and other evidence. Shinkle, Hudspeth and Dhaenes were all arrested, and more arrests are expected. Shinkle was arrested on one count each of suspicion of firstdegree forgery, third-degree theft and criminal possession of a forged bill; Hudspeth and Dhaenes were arrested on six counts each of suspicion of first-degree forgery, criminal possession of a forgery instrument and criminal possession of a forgery device, and firstdegree theft. Bend Police ask businesses and citizens to be on the lookout for counterfeit bills, and they say the bills were used in other businesses around Bend, including several in the downtown area. Anyone who believes they received a counterfeit bill in the past two weeks should call Bend Police at 541-693-6911.

O New buzz filling downtown Springfield Residents, merchants rediscovering potential of community’s aging but quaint center By Greg Bolt The (Eugene) Register-Guard

SPRINGFIELD — Karen Hageman had a hunch that launching her small business in downtown Springfield was the right thing to do. “I knew I was taking a risk,” said Hageman, sitting at a table in the sunlit Washburne Cafe she opened six months ago on Main Street. “But I had a vision for this cafe, that it needed to be in downtown and it needed to be in an old building. I had a gut feeling about this spot, and I wanted to get in on the ground floor of a developing downtown.” It’s probably too soon to say with any certainty whether her hunch is right. Springfield’s downtown core still sports many empty storefronts, and the city is struggling to come up with money it will need to make significant improvements in both its infrastructure and appearance. At the same time, many downtown supporters believe something has changed. People speak of a new energy, perhaps even a buzz. Braver souls dare to say that downtown has finally turned a corner and is headed for the kind of revitalization the city has sought for decades. But has it? On the surface, one might be forgiven for remaining skeptical. The look and feel of downtown for the occasional visitor is perhaps not markedly different than in the past. But some signs of change are there. For one thing, about a dozen new businesses have set up shop downtown in the past year or so. The Royal Building, the Academy of Arts and Academics, and the Wildish Theater have added bright, new looks to Main Street. And the Lane Transit District will soon launch its second bus rapid transit line, providing a direct and speedy connection between downtown and the thriving Gateway district.

Karen Hageman opened The Washburne Cafe on Main Street in downtown Springfield. redesign approach that relies on downtown supporters to set the vision and carry out the plan, rather than waiting for the city alone or an outside developer to come in and provide the spark. Claire Seguin, executive director of NEDCO’s Lane County office, said that kind of local involvement is key. More than 25 downtown Springfield merchants and property owners have signed up for the four committees that are charting a course for downtown, and she said they’re

already making progress. Most planners and merchants agree that downtown Springfield still needs something big, though. The Wildish Theater is a step in the right direction, but downtown seems to lack a focal point, particularly a shopping focal point. But the city and downtown groups already know what that should be. After voters approved an urban renewal district for downtown a few years ago, one of the

first things the city did was bring in some consultants to draft a downtown plan. That study calls for a new public plaza, known in the documents as Mill Plaza, near the corner of Main Street and Pioneer Parkway East. The plaza would be a magnet for new retail buildings and act as a downtown “hot spot.” But the city would need at least $3.7 million to make the Mill Plaza happen, and it would take large investments by private de-

Unified front Even more telling is that merchants, property owners and city staff are, perhaps for the first time, presenting a strong and united front in the effort to put downtown Springfield on the map. Results so far have been modest, but hopes are high. “I can see the light at the end of the tunnel,” said Glenn Myers, who opened his Trash-NTreasures collectibles business in a Main Street storefront about a year and a half ago. “It’s been small improvements, not leaps. But small, positive changes are better than big, negative changes.” John Tamulonis, the city’s economic development director, acknowledges this isn’t the first time there have been glimmers of revival downtown. It happened in the late 1980s, too, but the nascent bloom faded all too soon. One problem then, he said, was that there wasn’t a strong enough buy-in from downtown merchants and property owners to keep the effort afloat through the slow spells that inevitably accompany any major urban makeover. Which is why he’s more optimistic about this upturn. “Right now, the businesses are pretty excited,” he said. “There’s a real buzz downtown in the last couple of years, but especially this year. There’s more stuff happening, and more efforts that seem to be looking at productive outcomes. And businesses are doing things for themselves.” A big part of that is the decision to join the Main Street program, a kind of 12-Step program for downtown revitalization. Sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Main Street brings merchants, property owners, public officials and downtown supporters together, and provides a structure for setting downtown goals and reaching them. It’s been used successfully across the country and in Oregon, with communities such as Corvallis, Salem, Albany and Roseburg reaching the top level of certification. Springfield is working with NEDCO, the Neighborhood Economic Development Corp., to implement the Main Street approach. The Main Street program’s success is built on participation. It’s a planning, promotion and

velopers to create the kind of retail and office nexus envisioned in the plan. Merchants and city officials are behind the idea, but they know it’s a long-term goal rather than a short-term fix. In the meantime, people are taking smaller but still noticeable steps. A big one has been cleaning up downtown’s image, which as recently as a year ago was tied up with strip clubs and bars that police and many downtown supporters believe fed problems with crime.

Tamulonis believes that a turning point for downtown came last year when more than 200 people turned out for hearings on liquor license recommendations for three downtown bars. The city ended up recommending that all three be denied licenses, which the Oregon Liquor Control Commission did. One, Jim’s Landing, has since closed, and the two others, both strip clubs, are appealing. The club owners have protested that they aren’t the cause of downtown’s woes, but their neighbors aren’t buying it. The two strip clubs remain open while they pursue appeals, but many merchants and downtown workers say the area has improved since the license hearings. It’s not clear whether the city’s formal opposition to the clubs is responsible for the mini boom in downtown business openings, and it’s certainly not the only thing going on downtown. Merchants are doing other things to help turn the area around, such as a new monthly art walk that

drew large crowds on its first two nights. Even the vacant storefronts are getting a face-lift. The Eugene Storefront Art project has signed up many of the property owners, who allow the organization to display artwork in the windows of vacant shops. “There’s a lot of really cool buildings down there and an art community that’s just about ready to explode,” said photographer David Loveall, who owns two buildings on Main Street. “It’s just on the verge of the bubble breaking, where people will really come down and start making something viable with it.” In the meantime, the city has worked with local businesses to provide wrought-iron stands that support fabric banners along sidewalks to show which businesses are open. It’s one way of trying to get more people driving through to stop instead of just pass by. NEDCO’s Seguin said small steps such as these do two things. They can provide a small but noticeable increase in business — something Myers said he’s seen at his collectibles shop — and it adds to the feeling of momentum that eventually becomes self-sustaining. Allie Payne just opened Mothership, her own downtown salon, and said she chose the area because it was affordable and seems to be on the verge of a renaissance. “You could see growth, and people were really starting to pay attention to it,” said Payne, who also signed up for one of the Main Street committees. “I just believe that with so much positive attention coming down here, there’s just no way it can’t succeed.”

Oregon poised for fiscal reform

ohn Kitzhaber will prop his cowboy boots on the governor’s desk come January, but he’ll do so under the growing shadow of outgoing Gov. Ted Kulongoski. Not only has his Reset

Cabinet set important pieces of the agenda for next year’s legislative session, but Kulongoski seems to have convinced most Oregonians of the need for government employment reform. So, while one of the two Gov. Ks will begin his third term next month, we’re not sure which one it is. The findings and recommendations of Kulongoski’s Reset Cabinet have been in circulation for months. Oregon faces a huge budget shortfall. One of the most significant cost-drivers, public employee benefits, must be brought under control. And to that end, the policymakers should focus on health care benefits and the socalled 6 percent pickup. A poll released last week suggests that Oregonians share much of that vision. Sponsored by Oregon Public Broadcasting and Fox 12 and conducted by Davis, Hibbitts & Midghall, the poll asked 400 registered voters a number of questions about various hot-topic election issues. Several of these have to do with public employees and taxation, two of the Reset Cabinet’s core concerns. Seventy-three percent of participants, for instance, oppose a 5 percent income tax surcharge to prevent service cuts. More than 50 percent believe it’s a bad idea to raise more revenue by eliminating various income tax deductions. And, surprisingly, 50 percent agree that Measures 66 and 67 have done more harm than good. Only 36 percent think, in retrospect, that the measures did more good than harm. The Reset Cabinet argued that Oregonians aren’t about to close the budget shortfall by raising taxes further, and the poll bears this out. One tax hike of sorts the Reset Cabinet does support involves the “kicker,” which many policymakers would like to steer into a reserve fund. Fifty-two percent of respondents say they’re willing to consider us-

ing at least some of the kicker in this fashion. Meanwhile, poll participants were very skeptical about a number of public-payroll cost escalators. Fiftyfive percent support the elimination of automatic pay increases awarded merely for completing another year in a government job. Fifty-seven percent say public employees should pay half of the current 6 percent pickup. The pollsters didn’t ask, but we suspect a like percentage would agree that employees should pay the entire amount, as the Reset Cabinet suggests. And, finally, a whopping 87 percent say that public employee layoffs should be based partly on performance and not solely on seniority. This issue wasn’t a priority for the Reset Cabinet, but improving work force efficiency is a good way to stretch payroll dollars, which is, in essence, the Reset Cabinet’s focus. These responses came from a fairly balanced cross-section of voters. Thirty-two percent are Republicans, 43 percent Democrats and 25 percent independent or “other.” Forty-three percent said they voted for Kitzhaber, and 40 percent said they voted for Republican Chris Dudley. These results are good news for Oregon’s future fiscal well-being. It doesn’t do much good for high-profile panels to point out problems, as the Reset Cabinet has done, if voters and taxpayers aren’t prepared to go along with the solutions. But that doesn’t seem to be the case in Oregon, which should make it easier for lawmakers to implement some of the Reset Cabinet’s recommendations next year — and for the new Gov. K to sign off on them.

The deficit dilemma A

s expected, President Obama’s debt-reduction commission failed to send a proposal written by co-chairs Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles to Congress. On the other hand, the proposal received more votes than expected. Call it a moral victory, whatever that’s worth. Eleven of the commission’s 18 members approved the plan, whose mix of tax hikes and spending cuts would slash deficits by $4 trillion over the next decade alone. To forward the plan to Congress, however, 14 members would have had to approve. Ultimately, of course, the vote means little, except as an indication of political viability. Congress could have disregarded the plan, just as it could now take it up in whole or in pieces.

It must. Failing to act will merely delay the inevitable. Congress has to get a handle on federal spending and on the nation’s vast accumulated debt. The longer lawmakers wait, the more painful the necessary cuts and tax hikes will be. And they’re plenty painful already, which is why no one expects Congress to approve a meaningful package of reforms — whatever it happens to contain — without an enormous struggle. Continuing to duck that struggle would be the height of irresponsibility. Moral victories might be enough for toothless presidential panels, but that’s not true of Congress, which must either succeed (by attacking the problem with appropriate legislation) or fail miserably (by ignoring it yet again).

My Nickel’s Worth Gouged for records I am incensed after reading a Bulletin editorial regarding government agencies that charge outrageous fees for reporters to obtain “public” records. Obviously, these people have something to hide. I want to know exactly what they are up to. Reporters are the public’s watchdogs over wasteful government bodies. Do these policies mean that individual taxpaying citizens can’t get access to this information without being gouged? What a sorry state of affairs. James Bradbury Bend

No sales tax As soon as the election was over, I told my wife that it’s just a matter of time before the push for a sales tax will begin, and I see by the letters to the editor that it has begun. If you check the states around Oregon, are they any better off? They all have a sales tax and are in deeper trouble than Oregon. They say that tourists traveling through Oregon will help pay for our problems, and they will pay some tax. But figure out what you will pay when you purchase a car or a boat or

any other high-ticket item and it really starts coming home. I have lived in Oregon since about 1942, and for the most part have stayed right here, but occasionally lived in states that have a sales tax. In one such state, I purchased a nice, 18-foot boat, complete with inboard/outboard motor and a trailer. On top of the price of license for the boat, license for the trailer and insurance, I had to pay $1,800 sales tax. If I had lived in Oregon at that time, I would not have had to pay that amount, and could have spent the money on many other items. The real answer is to stop spending and cut back on all those feel-good programs that we don’t need, but that’s not the political way. It’s tax and spend. Dave Myers Prineville

American sheep Recent letters to The Bulletin have flirted with the concept of Oregon seceding from the United States, an idea many will empathize with. While the thought has its appeal, reality suggests that any hope for improvement would be an illusion. The form of government does not determine the quality of life, or lack thereof, enjoyed by the people. It is, to the contrary, the quality of the

people that determines the quality of government. Too many Oregonians and their fellow Americans appear to lack credence when they claim virtue for themselves. The Pledge of Allegiance implies an admirable American state, but an abundance of evidence suggests most Americans render recitation of the Pledge into an act of national hypocrisy. Without justice, including economic justice, we cannot be “one nation, ... , indivisible.” We claim to be a nation of laws but continually prove to the world we really mean “do as we say, not as we do.” Wall Street and the Washington politicians they bribed created a crisis in the American and global economies. The White House and Congress bailed out their campaign donors who created this catastrophe and who again reap millions and billions of dollars while their victims are losing their jobs and homes with little prospect of being restored to decency in the foreseeable future. And the American people, like sheep, allow themselves to be led to the slaughter, submitting to digital voyeurism and offensive pat-downs along the way. Bill Bodden Redmond

President should target tax code, re-engage Republicans I DAVID

have a vision. Sometime over the next couple of weeks, President Barack Obama issues a statement that reads: “Over the past several months, Republicans and Democrats have been fighting over what to do with the Bush tax cuts. I have my own views, but it’s not worth having a big fight over a tax code we all hate. Therefore, I’m suspending this debate. We will extend the Bush rates for everybody for one year, along with unemployment benefits. But during that year, we will enact a comprehensive tax reform plan. “The plan we will work on this year will look a bit like the 1986 reform plan. We will clean out the loopholes. We will take on the special interests. We will lower rates and make the tax code fair.” Then Obama asks his aides to come up with a tax reform proposal he can lay before Congress. The State of the Union, he knows, is the one big chance he will have to redefine himself before the American people. On the big night, Obama stands before Congress. He gestures over to a giant stack of papers. “This is our tax

code,” he tells the American people. “It’s rotten, and we’re scrapping it.” Then the president outlines his own proposal. It looks a bit like the plan hatched by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Judd Gregg, the outgoing Republican senator from New Hampshire. The Wyden-Gregg plan simplifies the tax code and reduces the number of rates from six to three. Most taxpayers would be able to use a one-page 1040 IRS form. It preserves some deductions, like the mortgage interest deduction and the child tax credit, but eliminates many others. The Heritage Foundation calculated that the measure would reduce the federal deficit by $61 billion a year and create 2.3 million jobs. The Tax Policy Center found it would make the tax code more progressive and reduce the tax bill for most families making less than $200,000. In my vision, the president would lay something like this at the feet of the Republicans and ask: Are you ready to have a conversation, or are you the party that can’t say yes? This would put the Republicans in an

BROOKS

interesting position. On Thursday, I debated Paul Ryan at the American Enterprise Institute on the proper role of government. Ryan is the incoming House Budget Committee chairman and one of the most intellectually formidable members of Congress. I really admire many of the plans he has put forward to bring down debt and reduce health care costs. But Ryan and I differed over Obama and the prospects for compromise in the near term. Ryan believes that the country faces a clearly demarcated choice. The Democratic Party, he argues, believes in creating a European-style cradle-to-grave social welfare state, while the Republicans believe in a free-market opportunity society. There is no overlap between the two visions and very little

reason to think they can be reconciled. I argued that Obama and his aides are liberal or center-left pragmatists, and that nothing they have said or written suggests they want to turn the U.S. into Sweden. I continued that Ryan’s sharply polarized vision is not only journalistically inaccurate, it makes compromise and politics impossible. If every concession is regarded as an unprincipled surrender that takes us inexorably farther down the road to serfdom, then nothing will get done and the nation will go bankrupt. If Obama moved vigorously on this sort of tax reform, starting at the State of the Union, he would vindicate my description of him, which would be nice. He would also change the tone in Washington. The health care reform debate was polarized, but the tax reform debate is not. Almost everybody agrees on the basic outlines. The current system is so rotten everybody could get something they want out of reforming it. The tax reform process would reintroduce the parties to each other, and reduce the Manichean caricatures that have

built up in their heads. It would also shift attention from the same-old big government-versus-small government debate toward more concrete challenges: shifting resources from unproductive consumption to more productive investment; shifting money from the affluent elderly to the struggling young; eliminating the parts of the tax code that erode personal responsibility and buffing up the parts that encourage responsible risk-taking. This tax reform debate would then lead naturally into the larger debate about federal spending and debt. If you looked at the various commission reports that have been released recently, you would find that here, too, there is more overlap than one would have imagined. Some days, gridlock seems permanent and fatal. But it could be that we’re on the cusp of a period of surprising instability, if only Obama would grab tax reform and use it to smash the crust of the status quo.

O Actor Palle Huld, 98, said to be real-life model of Tintin By Margalit Fox New York Times News Service

Palle Huld, a Danish actor whose fleet, youthful and highly public circumnavigation of the globe as a cowlicked teenager is believed to have inspired the popular comic-book character Tintin, died Nov. 26 in Copenhagen. He was 98. His death was widely reported in Danish newspapers. Created by the Belgian artist Herge (the pseudonym of Georges Remi), Tintin was a snubnosed teenage reporter who traveled the world with his trusty dog, Snowy, doing good deeds and foiling bad men. The character made his debut in January 1929 in Le Petit Vingtieme, the children’s supplement of a Belgian newspaper. Over the next half-century (Herge died in 1983), Tintin’s exploits were chronicled in two dozen illustrated books, starting with “Tintin in the Land of the Soviets” in 1930 and ending with “Tintin and Alph-Art,” published posthumously in 1986.

200 million copies Translated into many languages, the books have sold more than 200 million copies worldwide, remain in print and retain an immense following. A feature film, “The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn,” produced by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, is scheduled to open this month. According to many accounts in the European news media over the years, Tintin exists, at least in part, because a young Danish clerk in search of adventure happened to answer a newspaper ad one day. Huld’s life in the public eye began in 1928, when the Danish newspaper Politiken held a contest to honor the centennial of Jules Verne. The winner would re-enact Phileas Fogg’s voyage from “Around the World in Eighty Days,” Verne’s celebrated 1873 novel. There were to be some crucial twists: The contest was open only to teenage boys; the winner would circle the globe unaccompanied; and he had to complete the trip within 46 days, using any conveyance but the airplane. From several hundred applicants, the newspaper chose Palle, a 15-year-old Boy Scout who had left school and was working as a clerk in an automobile dealership. Palle left Denmark on March 1, 1928, and as he traveled by rail and steamship the world press chronicled his every move, through England, Scotland, Canada, Japan, the Soviet Union, Poland and Germany. It also chronicled his triumphant homecoming, after just 44 days, to a cheering crowd of 20,000 in Copenhagen. His safe return was “much to the relief of

Something of a relic of the speakeasy era, Galveston County, Texas, was dotted with gambling dens, prostitution parlors and illegal nightclubs well into the 1950s — a time when it was still against state law to sell liquor by the drink. (You could buy a bottle, brown-bag it into a club and order ice.) Two illegal establishments — the Balinese Room, on a pier jutting into the Gulf of Mexico, and the Turf Club, in downtown Galveston — were owned and operated by two brothers, Sam and Rosario Maceo. They also owned and leased, to their many associates, similar properties around the county, places with names like the Moulin Rouge, the Rickshaw Room and the Palace. “There was an attitude in Galveston in which gambling, prostitution and illegal bars were overlooked by the police and state officials,” A.R. Schwartz, a former assistant county attorney and state senator, said Nov. 29 , “and it’s being very generous to

New York Times News Service John Diebboll, an architect who discovered a second career as an artist when he began designing fantasy pianos that resembled the Brooklyn Bridge, a diner or a Murphy bed, died Nov. 23 at his home in Beacon, N.Y. He was 54. The cause was brain cancer, said his wife, Pamela Koeber-Diebboll. Diebboll was a longtime member of the firm Michael Graves & Associates, which he joined in 1984, serving as a principal designer and directing its New York office for 17 years. He worked on dozens of projects for Graves, known for his allegiance to a purist form of modernism and the line of consumer products he designed for Target. In 1997, Diebboll found a new outlet for his talents when Sandy Davis, the director of the piano-restoration company Klavierhaus, asked him to design a 21st-century piano as part of a course she was developing at Bard College in 1997. He had already shown a taste for offbeat assignments, designing the 18th hole of a miniature golf course for “Putt-Modernism,” a 1992 exhibition at Artists Space in Manhattan. For the Bard exhibition, he executed a series of drawings, “Etudes,” that envisioned the piano in a variety of fanciful guises, updat-

ing the 18th- and 19th-century tradition of the art case piano — custom instruments made for wealthy clients.

Morten Langkilde via The Associated Press

Danish film actor Palle Huld, who died Nov. 26, holds a copy of his book that chronicled his trip around the globe as a teenage boy. That journey reportedly inspired Belgian author Herge to create the cartoon character Tintin. his mother, who had been prescribed sleeping tablets for the duration,” as The Copenhagen Post wrote in a profile of Huld this year. The young Huld wrote a book about his adventures, which was published in several languages and appeared in English as “A Boy Scout Around the World” (Coward-McCann, 1929). Tintin historians (and there are many) have posited various sources for Herge’s hero, including Palle Huld. Huld seemed to credit the connection, but Herge was not forthcoming on the

subject, and Pierre Assouline, the author of “Herge: The Man Who Created Tintin,” published in English last year, said in an e-mail to The Times that he had never heard of Huld.

Similarities Nevertheless, certain similarities between the intrepid Danish clerk and the intrepid Belgian scribe are indisputable: Like his comic-book incarnation, Palle Huld was fresh-faced and freckled, with a turned-up nose and unruly red hair. On his journey,

Palle was often photographed wearing plus-fours, Tintin’s breeches of choice. Palle Huld was born in 1912. He made his stage debut in 1934 at the Royal Danish Theater, with which he remained associated for many years. He also appeared regularly in Danish films and on television before his retirement a decade ago. Information on survivors could not be confirmed. Huld is survived, at the very least, by his pen-and-paper incarnation, eternally inquisitive and eternally youthful.

James Simpson, 87, helped clean up Texas city By Dennis Hevesi

John Diebboll, designed offbeat pianos, dies at 54

say ‘overlooked.’” James Polk Simpson was not willing to overlook. A former FBI agent and lawyer, Simpson led a campaign in 1957 that shut down most of those illegal establishments through an unusual series of civil court cases. He died Nov. 27 in Austin, Texas, at 87, said his son-in-law, Geoffrey Leavenworth. Simpson ran for county district attorney in 1954 on a platform of cleaning up the illegal activities that had long made Galveston a sort of winked-at resort destination. He lost by eight votes.

Undercover agents Three years later, he persuaded the Texas attorney general, Will Wilson, to appoint him a special assistant attorney general. To keep the local police out of the loop, he enlisted two workers from an oil refinery as undercover agents and dispatched them to gather evidence at one establishment after another. Because the Maceo network had informers in the county court-

house, legal papers were prepared at Simpson’s home, largely by his wife, Constance, who had been a stenographer for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The strategy was to use civil court injunctions against individuals and properties because their legal effect, as opposed to criminal court findings, could last in perpetuity. Eventually, nearly 200 injunctions were issued. And while no one went to prison, dozens of people were enjoined from participating in illegal activities and many properties were barred from being used for gambling or prostitution or as bars. Only in 1970 did Texas voters pass a constitutional amendment allowing localities to choose whether bars could serve liquor by the drink. “He put some of my best friends out of business,” Schwartz said. “There are few people who changed the course of an entire community. Galveston became much more of a law-abiding, pristine little town.” Simpson was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, on Sept. 27, 1923, one of eight children of James

and Eva Simpson. During World War II, he served as a bombardier in missions over Belgium, France and Germany. After the war he attended the University of Texas, Austin, from which he received his law degree in 1950. He then joined the FBI. While working in the bureau’s Minneapolis office he met Constance Griffith. They married in 1952, left the FBI and moved to Galveston. At one point during his 1957 crackdown on illegal activity, Simpson found himself at odds with the law, his son-in-law said. A raid on one club yielded 2,000 illegal slot machines. To dispose of them, Simpson rented a barge and arranged for Wilson to throw the machines into Galveston Bay as photographers snapped their shutters. The next day Simpson received a call from the Army Corps of Engineers informing him that the machines were floating in the ship channel and that he had impeded the navigation of regulated waterways, though no charges were brought.

EOU stages a comeback The Associated Press LA GRANDE — Eastern Oregon University is making a comeback. The university’s student head count hit a record 4,137 this fall, and a campaign is under way to triple the school’s endowment. University leaders realize a comeback won’t be easy. The state is facing a serious budget shortfall that could leave the Oregon University System about $240 million shy of its budget request for 2011-13. Eastern also could be hit harder than the other six cam-

puses because it’s more dependent on state support. To stay affordable, it continues to charge the lowest tuition and fees in the state system. Faculty, staff and leaders at Eastern have not forgotten that just three years ago they were teetering on the brink of collapse. Eastern’s reserves were drained, its enrollment had dropped and the president had just resigned. Some members of the State Board of Higher Education were asking whether they should just close the university. But Helen Moore, 53, an in-

formation technology purchasing agent who has worked at the university for 30 years, said the hard times reminded university workers where their priorities should lie. “We have to be actively engaging students,” she said. “The student is why we are here.” Eastern draws more than half of its campus students from east of the Cascades. Only about half of Eastern’s students attend college on campus. Another 2,200 students take classes online through 16 centers scattered across Oregon.

Firefighters battle flames at a vacant restaurant early Sunday morning in Albany. According to the Albany Democrat-Herald, this is the 10th fire at a vacant building in the Albany area in the last six weeks. Investigators determined the previous nine fires to be arson.

Firewood dealers catching heat By Nate Traylor The (Coos Bay) World

COOS BAY — Some wood is no good. And not all stacks are created equal. If wood heat is what keeps you cozy this winter, be careful not to get burned. Buyers have registered 17 complaints against firewood dealers so far this year, according to the state Department of Justice. That’s more than twice what were filed all of last year. A rise of complaints corresponds with what appears to be an increasing number of firewood dealers. Yet, some people are having a hard time stoking their hearths. “Why is it so hard to find wood in Oregon of all places?” Carol West asks. She and her husband, Kevin, are settling into their first soggy winter on the Oregon Coast. And they’re discovering quality logs are in short supply. The Brookings couple has been jilted three times now. Lessthan-reputable dealers sold them stuff that only smolders. “People tell us, ‘Well, you need to get the fireplace really hot,’” West said. “Well, we like to think we’re pretty good fire builders.” They recently bought an unburnable batch for $80.

“We sold it for $40 just to get it off our property,” she said. Others are griping about being sold short of a full cord. Adding fuel to the fire: The state can do little to penalize unscrupulous sellers. Bottom line: “Buyer beware,” said Clark Cooney. Cooney is the assistant administrator of the Measurement Standards Division of the Oregon Department of Agriculture, and he is aware of log dealers outright scamming those who can afford it the least. “What I see is basically poor folks getting ripped off on this stuff,” he said. It’s illegal to sell wood by any amount other than a cord or a fraction of a cord. Even those who invite buyers to fill up truckloads for a set price aren’t on the up and up, he said.

State not keeping tabs But the law isn’t doing much to keep dealers in check. The state doesn’t have the resources to follow up on these cases. “There wasn’t much of a funding source for that kind of activity,” Cooney said. “There’s no chance I see of it coming back. It really comes down to the consumer hopefully knowing who

they’re buying from and knowing what they’re buying.” Dry wood is a hot commodity these days. And more are taking to the forest to find it. “When the economy first took a dump, there was a lot of people doing it, which worked for me,” said Tom Dempsey, owner of Mac’s Saw Shop in North Bend. Unemployed Joes were buying saws, wood splitters and other equipment, and coming out of the woods with truck loads of logs. A cord of wood can sell for between $140 and $175. “Everybody just wants to make an extra buck,” Dempsey said. Craig, a Bay Area resident who declined to give his last name, said you shouldn’t balk at the cost. He and enterprising fellas like him spend a pretty penny to cut and haul wood. Between fuel and permit costs, there isn’t much margin for profit. “There is money to be made, but it’s not the greatest,” he said. Plus, “it’s tough work.” Craig, a heavy-equipment operator who can’t find employment, began supplying his neighbors with wood earlier this season. His advice to log shoppers: If it doesn’t “pop like an apple,” don’t buy it.

Best bet for In new digs, NAVIS offers value-adding software eco-friendly toys? Wood Central Oregon stores offer safe, chemical-free stocking stuffers By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

Blocks, fire trucks and gardening sets — all made out of 100 percent recycled plastic — could find their way under many Central Oregon Christmas trees this year. Leapin’ Lizards owner Suzy Reininger said she has seen those toys, from a company called Green Toys, flying off the shelves at her Bend store, along with other environmentally friendly products. “We have just been selling through our Green Toys, like hot cakes,” Reininger said. While some customers come in looking for something simply fun to give children, others are concerned about whether toys are free of toxic chemicals or are manufactured in the United States, she said. Several useful tools are available for gift-givers who are thinking green this holiday season. Wood or handmade toys are simple things to look for, said Renee Hackenmiller-Paradis, environmental health program director with the nonprofit Oregon Environmental Council. “You don’t have to worry about potential offgassing of toxic chemicals from a wood toy,” she said. Toy shoppers also can look for labels noting items as polyvinyl chloride-free or lead-free, or other disclosures. The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 banned chemicals such as lead and phthalates in children’s toys, above a certain amount. But if people buy used toys, made before the rule took effect, they should keep in mind that the older items could still contain lead, said Anna Harding, a professor of public health at Oregon State University. She worked on a study released this month that tested the amount of lead in a number of items, including antique toys. “It was pretty surprising to see the lead levels in some of these things,” she said. Harding said she is suspicious of toys manufactured in China, where there aren’t regulations related to lead. Not everything is tested when it’s sold here, she said. “We do have to still be careful with toys that are imported,” she said. But people can get swabs for lead-testing at paint or home-improvement stores that they can use to test toys on their own — either ones they’ve had around the house for a while, or new items.

Russ Bahr, a telecommunications manager with Navis, works on the company’s nationwide phone network that services all its customers’ calls.

Now headquartered in Old Mill, employee count, profit keep rising By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

any things are looking up at Navis.

The Bend-based company continues to provide hotels and resorts with locally developed, Web-based software that enables the properties to better understand customers, track marketing efforts and increase return on investment. Navis’ leaders said the company kept profits consistent during the economic downturn and has doubled its work force in the past five years. The company attributes the growth to one of its top services, which Navis executives say can substantially improve a hotel or resort’s financial performance. “When they’re not using the system, it becomes a cost instead of an

ROI,” said Bill Schlosser, the company’s vice president of marketing, using the acronym for return on investment. The company’s new office on Scalehouse Court in the Old Mill District, which it occupied Sept. 1, measures 12,000 square feet — a big jump from its old headquarters at 40 N.W. Greenwood Ave., which took up 7,500 square feet. Buehner said the new digs offer room to grow, which the company is expecting to do in the near future, he said. Meanwhile, about 125 servers continue to store data at the old Greenwood location.

TECH FOCUS

The past

The company has changed in many ways since it was established under a different name, with different offerings, in Sunriver in 1987. Milton Buehner and Greg Fry

founded the company that year under the name Buehner-Fry Inc. Back then, the company was offering to install special phones in individual vacation-management rentals such as in Sunriver. The custom phones transferred the costs of long-distance calls to room occupants rather than the property owners. Navis wired calls on its phones through its own switchboard at its office. As the years passed, though, cell phones and low-cost calling cards became widespread, discouraging people from calling long distance from rooms at vacation-management rentals. In the first decade of the 21st century, the company began to diversify its offerings. To reflect the developments, a name change was due. Schlosser, who joined the firm in 2005, said the company’s leaders thought out loud, “We help the client navigate information systems.” But that was too long. Thus came

Buehner’s son Kyle now leads the company on a daily basis as CEO. Milton Buehner serves on the board of directors, along with his son. Some aspects of the company have remained constant. It still caters to businesses in the hospitality industry, and most operations still occur over the phone. In the past decade, Navis has added several products to its lineup, and it has gradually phased out the long-distance calling service from its offerings, Schlosser said. See Navis / C6

Farmers use organic arsenal to wage war on crop pests By Jim Robbins New York Times News Service

DAVIS, Calif. — Mark Van Horn, director of the student farm at the University of California, is nearly lost as he walks through a yellow cloud of wild sunflowers around the edge of a field of tomatoes and sweet corn. They aren’t here for their beauty or as a cash crop — they are a key pest control strategy down on the organic farm. Research here on wild sunflowers, he says, shows they are home to lady beetles and parasitic wasps, which are good bugs that kill bad bugs. “The sunflowers help us provide a bed-and-breakfast for beneficial insects and keep them

going year-round,” he said. “And native sunflowers are a lot better at it than domestic. There’s a lot more insect biodiversity in wild sunflowers.” While conventional farmers have a quiver full of chemical arrows to battle the invasion of weeds and pests, the organic farmer has a tougher row to hoe. There simply aren’t organic bug sprays that can match the power of synthetic chemicals and almost nothing in the way of organic herbicides. Instead, there’s a growing understanding among organic farmers of ways to harness natural systems as part of what is called integrated pest management.

SCIENCE

And there’s a small burst of new research into organic farming techniques as a result of the 2008 farm bill, which finances a range of agricultural programs at a total cost of $307 billion. For years such research was financed at $3 million a year, and though the funds are still minuscule compared with conventional agricultural research, it’s now $20 million annually for the next few years, and may increase further. Instead of five to seven research grants per year, there are now two dozen. “You aren’t considered a kook anymore if you do this kind of research, as you were in the 1980s,” said Fred Kirschenmann, an organic farmer and a distinguished fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture in Iowa.

Concerned grandma thinks her grandson is too young to hunt Dear Abby: My son-in-law is taking his 8-year-old son on a hunting trip. I strongly disapprove, but cannot say anything. I am shocked that my daughter is allowing it. As a small child, I had a little playmate who blew his fingers off with a hunting gun. I fail to see any reason a child this young needs to learn how to kill animals — and, of course, I am terrified he will get hurt. My grandson is worried about going, and I am deeply upset. What do you think about a child this age going hunting? He is a sweet, intelligent child, and I am a ... — Very Disturbed Grandma in Florida Dear Disturbed Grandma: Your son-in-law may hope the hunting trip will be a bonding experience with the boy. However, if the child is worried about going into the woods and killing something, the experience may not bring the desired result. While I am not a fan of killing for sport, if your daughter does not object, there is nothing you or I can do to prevent it. (If they were hunting for food, I might feel differently.) Dear Abby: I just received a holiday card from some relatives. Included with it was a printed one-page newsletter describing their past year’s activities. I have received similar essays from them in previous years. Why do these writings always inflate the deeds of the writer, almost to the point of laughability? It’s as if they’re saying, “After dashing back from our private audiences with Queen Elizabeth and the pope, we jetted off to Rio to help our dear friends, the Buffetts, launch their new yacht, which is 6 inches longer than the QEII. And our children are doing well. The oldest is a CEO and the younger was just awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry.”

DEAR ABBY To me, the holidays are a time for reflection and reaching out to those less fortunate. The last thing we need to see is an exaggerated (or fictional) account of an ego trip from somebody who just doesn’t get the meaning of the holidays. — Ordinary Gal in Rochester Dear Ordinary Gal: Many individuals — but not all — feel as you do about holiday newsletters. It may help you to remember that they are not being written to you personally. The communication you received is a form of self-promotion. So with that in mind, no law says you have to read them. Because you find them upsetting, toss them as you would any other unwanted piece of advertising. Dear Abby: My husband has a tendency to “almost” complete things, but seldom actually does. The discards make it as far as the counter above the trash container where they belong. The hose carrier gets put back 2 feet from where it’s supposed to go. He’ll leave his jacket on the chair right next to the coat closet. Get the picture? My husband is a great guy, and he does a lot around the house. It’s just that these “almosts” are so consistent that I’m curious about whether they’re symptomatic of a kind of disorder. — Maine Observer Dear Observer: With the understanding that I am not licensed in any state of the Union to make a definitive diagnosis, it appears that your husband is either easily distracted or a wee bit ... lazy.

Michael Kenneth Williams is all business on ‘Boardwalk Empire’ By Greg Braxton Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — None of the diners at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood dove under the tables as Michael Kenneth Williams strode past late last month. But startled gazes from more than a few betrayed their recognition of the gravel-voiced actor who brought a sinister sparkle to his role as the lethal gangster Omar Little in HBO’s critically lauded “The Wire.” An upbeat Williams waved to a few diners, clearly still enjoying the spotlight that “The Wire,” which is near the top of many critics’ lists as one of the best TV shows, has brought him. That shine of celebrity has taken on a brighter glow this fall thanks to his current role as ruthless businessman Chalky White in HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire,” a drama set in Atlantic City, N.J., during prohibition. The reception has heightened the profile of the 44-year-old Williams, who vividly recalls the personal demons he battled in the years before “The Wire” as a struggling New York actor so filled with despair and disillusion that he felt “like part of me was dead inside.” A long scar near his eye — a souvenir from a barroom fight in which his face was slashed with a razor — is a reminder of that period. “I had a little too much of that liquor courage that night,” he said with a chuckle. But the scar has also become an instantly identifiable trademark that has made Williams’ expressive face even more compelling. Remembering those tough times has cemented his connection to his darker roles: “I love my characters. I play them with 100 percent honesty; there’s no holding back. I un-

Michael Kenneth Williams stars as Chalky White on HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire,” a drama set during prohibition. derstand where they are coming from.” Williams’ Omar Little was a standout in “The Wire,” a gritty urban series that featured a web of complex characters operating on both sides of the law. The hard-core, much-feared character was a stickup man operating in the Baltimore projects, but his principal targets were rival drug dealers, giving him a Robin Hood-like moral code in a series with few heroes. His love of “the game” and “the hunt” gave him an antihero charm, and he took pleasure in the havoc he caused: children yelling “Omar comin’” when he approached would clear the streets. Omar, who was gay, was anything but the cookie-cutter villain. He announced his entrance by whistling “Farmer in the Dell.” He loved Honey Nut Cheerios. “That show changed my life in so many ways,” said Williams. “My career would have never been the same without it.” It also was a bit of a stretch:

“I was never a thug.” Williams was drawn to acting and show business as a young man. He appeared in dozens of music videos with artists such as Madonna and Tupac Shakur, who was so impressed with Williams that he helped him land a co-starring role in the 1996 film “Bullet.” But though he went on to do guest shots in other TV shows, his career stalled and he became despondent. “I was in a lot of pain — drugs, alcohol, 9/11. I wound up working at my mother’s day care center in Brooklyn. I was coming from a dark place personally when I read for Omar. And when I read it, I knew I could put that part of myself into that part.” His main focus now is “Boardwalk Empire,” which wrapped up its first season Sunday and in

Sewing & Vacuum Center

which Williams is the only African-American in the main cast. And though the sharply dressed Chalky is a supporting character, his fierce demeanor has demonstrated that he bows to no man, even during a historical period when black men were regarded as inferior to whites. In the pilot, Chalky is shown impatiently waiting outside main character Enoch “Nucky” Thompson’s office for a meeting, barking at an assistant, “Tell Nucky I ain’t got all day.” “That really set the tone for the character,” Williams pointed out. “Imagine a black man acting like that in the 1920s. It wasn’t no ‘yes sir’ and ‘no sir.’” In another of the series’ highlights, Chalky is interrogating a Ku Klux Klan member whom he suspects of killing one of his associates. Chalky calmly recites a tragic tale about how the death of his carpenter father at the hands of racists shaped him into a man. During the speech, he slowly unveils some strikingly sharp tools (“These my daddy’s tools”) that he will later use to torture the man. Said Williams: “Getting the whole tone of that scene right was very important. I worked on it a long, long time.” He’s also out to prove to audiences that all bad guys are not alike. “The most challenging thing right now for me is showing that there’s a difference between Omar and Chalky. There’s no Omar in Chalky. They are driven by different things, different moral codes. Omar was driven by the hunt, while Chalky is a straightup-and-down businessman.”

NEW YORK — This is not an easy day for Martha Stewart. Sitting in her Manhattan office, surrounded by sparkling walls of ribbons, puff-paints, glitters and decorative hole punches, all carefully arranged by color and size, she has a very serious look on her face, which has been freshly repowdered after a midday yoga session. “It’s the third anniversary of my mother’s death,” she explains, her eyes downcast. At first, it seems like she might get emotional — until you realize she’s just looking down at her laptop, reading a post on “The Martha Blog” about her mother’s death. “We got 400,000 page views on this already,” Stewart says, clearly pleased. “Of course, when my mother died, we got 5 million page views.” Martha Stewart is not a sentimentalist. True, she became this country’s first female selfmade billionaire by pinpointing the very things many people feel most sentimental about: homecooked meals, handmade Christmas wreaths, a warm bed with tightly tucked sheets. But she’s always used those ideas to promote a lifestyle — one that can be achieved with Martha Stewart-brand products. After a reputation-damaging jail stint and a subsequent billion-dollar loss to her company, that lifestyle has become a tougher sell. Her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, reported a $14 million loss in 2009.

TV ratings game On the eve of her annual Christmas special bonanza — “Martha Stewart’s Holiday Open House,” guest-starring Jennifer Garner and Claire Danes, airs tonight on the Hallmark Channel — America’s No. 1 working mom knows she’s facing a door-die moment. In order to promote her merchandise, which is sold at Macy’s, Home Depot and PetSmart, she needs television. And unlike her flawless croquembouche recipe, her TV ratings haven’t been the very best they could be. In September, looking to find a permanent home base for “The Martha Stewart Show” outside of syndication on NBC-owned stations, she launched an ambitious

eight-hour programming block on the Hallmark Channel. But in the first month, “The Martha Stewart Show” averaged fewer than 200,000 viewers — less than half the audience of reruns of “The Golden Girls,” which ran in the same time slot on Hallmark a year ago. A talk show co-hosted by Stewart’s daughter, Alexis, attracted even fewer viewers, and a cooking show starring Martha Stewart Living’s executive food editor Lucinda Scala Quinn didn’t fare much better. In its annual report, filed in March, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia suggested that reduced ratings could make it “economically inefficient” to continue to produce “The Martha Stewart Show.” So Hallmark’s 69-year-old queen bee is pushing herself to be a smarter, faster, stronger Martha Stewart. Working on four hours of sleep per night, she’s expanded her merchandising empire with items as varied as dog sweaters and kitchen cabinets. Her company now makes most of its money from merchandising, and revenue in that area is up from last year. She’s attracting younger fans with iPhone apps such as Martha Stewart Makes Cookies, an e-book club for the Sony Reader and an iPad version of her magazine Martha Stewart Living.

Pole-dancing? Over the last year, she’s been bucking her ice queen reputation by Tweeting about attending Diddy’s birthday party, playing herself on “The Simpsons,” even pole-dancing on a very special episode of “The Martha Stewart Show.” (“I want to do the upside-down things!” she told the crowd.) Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Chairman Charles Koppelman says he can’t imagine the company pulling the plug on “The Martha Stewart Show.” “Quite honestly, that’s a show that has never really made all that much money, but it’s important because it drives our products,” he explains. “Someone else would have to pay $20 million a year for the kind of branding and awareness that our show has.” Stewart’s out to prove that she’s still “a good thing.” And as she’d tell you herself, even good things can always be better.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Dec. 6, 2010: This year, you open up to a new beginning, making a longtime desire or hope possible. Use your imagination as inspiration. Your creativity flows beyond the obvious ideas. You also can manifest a strong sense of financial acuity. If you are single, you’ll meet someone to date with ease, but perhaps not to commit to for forever. Make a decision dependent on your personal commitments. Note that your charisma soars this year. If you are attached, know that the show is not always about you! Give more, and the relationship will warm up all the more. CAPRICORN has sound ideas. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Let your intellect blend with your imagination. Take the lead role in a conversation or on a project. Though you might be jolted by some realization, you need to know the complete picture. Tonight: Count on a late one, as you mull over the day’s happenings. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You can be found deep in thought. Know that this act of reflection is the smart move as you decide what you want and the appropriate action to take. Tonight: Let your mind wander while listening to great music. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Others want to steer, and you won’t even have the luxury of

being a backseat driver. Though you might bend for a while, know that this implicit demand is not reasonable. When waters seem smoother, be willing to step in and change course. Tonight: Share with a pal. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might be one of the foot soldiers today. You perform many necessary tasks at home and/or at work to keep life moving in the right way. If you decide this course of action doesn’t really work, take your time expressing that thought, or just wait. Tonight: Let a loved one vent. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Tap into your renowned innovative style. You’ll come up with answers much quicker than you anticipated. You find solutions today but act tomorrow. Don’t run matters to a speedy conclusion. Remember, there could be a glitch on the way. Tonight: Take some much-needed time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Your innate resourcefulness could be tested. Where you thought you had answers and could get results, you discover otherwise. Take your time. If you’re not feeling 100 percent, slow down. You easily could make an error. Tonight: Acting like it is the weekend! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Keep a discussion moving. Yes, you might not want to hear someone’s opinions, but trust that you need to. Schedule meetings and return calls. Your efficiency will be tested soon enough. Use care while driving later today. Tonight: Isn’t it time to do nothing?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your sense of what is appropriate easily could be off. You might want to rethink an idea or plan. You might not always be right about everything, but neither is anyone else. Startling behavior sends you back into thought. Tonight: Chat with a friend. Catch up on news. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Others look to you because you exude energy and zest. If you don’t want to play this leadership/mentoring role, let people know. Your creativity seems like an endless well right now. Tonight: Stop. Treat yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Tune in to your inner self. You could discover that you have a lot less energy than you realize. If you don’t, you could see more backfires in one day than you care to. Accept yourself and allow for off moments. Tonight: Starting to feel restored. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Zero in on what you want. For some, this emphasis could involve a meeting and a new direction. If you can deal with a risk, go ahead. Do use care with your finances and a purchase, in any case. Tonight: On top of your game. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Read Sagittarius for a hint. Your drive and follow-through will make all the difference. Understanding evolves to a new level because of a discussion. Remember that you don’t need to create an uproar in order to gain the results you want. Tonight: Join friends. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

The brain, in living color ‘Portraits of the Mind’ book depicts organ in its mysterious beauty

irredeemably ugly that they assumed the mind was elsewhere.

The ‘Brainbow’

By Abigail Zuger, M.D. New York Times News Service

Who has seen the mind? Neither you nor I — nor any of the legions of neuroscientists bent on opening the secrets of that invisible force, as powerful and erratic as the wind. The experts are definitely getting closer: The last few decades have produced an explosion of new techniques for probing the blobby, unprepossessing brain in search of the thinking, feeling, suffering, scheming mind. But the field remains technologically complicated, out of reach for the average nonscientist, and still defined by research so basic that the human connection, the usual “hook” by which abstruse science captures general interest, is often missing. Carl Schoonover took this all as a challenge. Schoonover, 27, is midway through a Ph.D. program in neuroscience at Columbia, and thought he would try to find a different hook. He decided to draw the general reader into his subject with the sheer beauty of its images. So he has compiled them into a glossy new art book. “Portraits of the Mind: Visualizing the Brain from Antiquity to the 21st Century,” newly published by Abrams, includes short essays by prominent neuroscientists and long captions by Schoonover — but its words take second place to the gorgeous imagery, from the first delicate depictions of neurons sketched in prim Victorian black and white to the giant Technicolor splashes the same structures make across 21st-century LED screens. Scientists are routinely seduced by beauty. Schoonover knows this firsthand, as he acknowledged in an interview: for

Toys Continued from C1 Other groups have done significant testing themselves. The Ecology Center, a Michigan-based nonprofit, has tested more than 5,000 toys over the past four years, checking for metals like lead, cadmium and mercury as well as flame retardants and polyvinyl chloride. The results, along with results from tests of other household items, are available online at www.healthystuff .org. “We recommend avoiding vinyl,” said Jeff Gearhart, research director with Healthy Stuff. “We recommend trying to choose products that are made out of natural materials, particularly coated wood and natural fabrics, (which) tend to test better.” The problem with vinyl, he said, is that other chemicals and metals are added to stabilize the plastic — and those metals, often harmful, can be released. “When we look at vinyl products, we find they’re more likely to have lead issues,” he said. And more than three-quarters of the

Farmers Continued from C1 Research on organic agricultural ecosystems in the last few years has made some key findings and refined techniques organic growers use. A paper published in Nature this year confirmed what organic farmers have long suspected — that conventional farming can make the pest problem worse. David Crowder, an entomologist at Washington State University and an author of the paper, says if there are more varieties of plants around the field, and no broad-spectrum pesticides, as in organic farming, it promotes balance among insect species, rather than letting one species dominate. “There are more natural enemies, and they do a lot better job in organic fields controlling pests,” Crowder said. Natural enemies are key to the organic approach. Eric Brennan is the lone full-time organic researcher for the U.S. Agriculture Department, and he works in the Salinas Valley, the so-called salad bowl of America, where some 80 percent of the country gets its salad greens. One of the most difficult pests is the lettuce aphid. The treatment of choice for commercial organic lettuce is to plant an ornamental flower

A brain MRI shows the organization of the primary visual cortex. a while his wallet held snapshots not of friends or family, but of particularly attractive neurons. Sometimes the aesthetics of the image itself captivate. Sometimes the thrill is the magic of a dead-on fabulous technique for getting at elusive data.

Illuminating the mind Consider, for instance, a blurry little black-and-white photograph of a smiley-face icon, so fuzzy and ill-defined it looks like a parody of the Shroud of Turin. The picture is actually a miracle in its own right: The high-speed video camera that shot it was trained on the exposed brain of a monkey staring at a yellow smiley face. As the monkey looked at the face, blood vessels supplying nerve cells in the visual part of the monkey’s brain transiently swelled in exactly the same pattern. We can tell what was on the monkey’s mind by inspecting its brain. The picture forms a link, primitive but palpable, between corporeal and evanescent, between the body and the spirit. And behind the photo stretches a long history of inspired neuroscientific deductions and equally inspired mistakes, all aiming to illuminate just that link. It’s only fitting the story should be a visual one, for the visuals had the ancients fooled for millenniums. The brain was so

Now those same skeletal silhouettes glow plump and brightly colored, courtesy of a variety of inserted genes encoding fluorescent molecules. The most dramatic variation on these methods for highlighting neurons in living color, dubbed the Brainbow by its inventors, turns the brains of living mice into wild neon forests of branching trees. Meanwhile, the traffic in long groups of neurons all coursing together around the brain becomes visible with a variation on the standard scanning technique called diffusion MRI. Here the neurons do look just like pasta — angel hair, perhaps — slightly beaded, draped and purposeful. But if the structure is destroyed (by a stroke, for instance) the strands shatter into fragments, the information highway broken, upended as if by an earthquake. In the book’s final essay, Joy Hirsch, a neuroimaging specialist, sympathizes with readers who hate the idea that they are nothing but neural circuits. “These cells and molecules, awash in various neurochemical cocktails in my basal ganglia, are presumably the basis for my love and attachment to my husband,” she writes. “Earlier in my academic journey, I would have resisted this unavoidable fact of biology on the misguided rounds that a physical basis would diminish the grandeur and centrality of my choice of a life partner.” Now, however, Hirsch says she joyfully embraces “the astonishing unity of the physical brain and the mind” for the potential it clearly holds for improving the lot of humankind. “People assumed for thousands of years that there must be something else,” the scientist Jonah Lehrer writes in the introduction. “And yet, there is nothing else: This is all we are.”

toys the group tested this year contained vinyl in some part. The good news, however, is that the group is finding fewer lead problems, he said — none of the toys tested had lead at higher concentrations than the allowable limit. “People can feel good about that,” he said. But there are still other hazardous materials in toys, he said, like cadmium, a carcinogen with properties similar to lead. While Healthy Stuff provides a rating for individual toys based on their chemical content, consumers also can get information about the environmental practices and social considerations of companies that make a variety of toys at www .goodguide.com, Gearhart said. “They do a broader assessment of kind of corporate environmental practices,” he said. Consumers also can look for labels on toys that state they have met certain environmental standards, he said. For example, the Oeko-Tex label for fabrics sets limits for chemical content. Toy shoppers also could consider the packaging of items, Hackenmiller-Paradis said.

“I have a problems with packaging ... (like) a 5-by-5-inch toy and enough packaging to drop it from an airplane,” she said. Often, the plastic shell toys come in is hard to recycle, she added. Besides Green Toys, Leapin’ Lizards also sells wooden PlanToys, which can range from doll houses to train tracks. The toys are created with nontoxic materials, and solar and biomass energy powers the manufacturing process. At Stone Soup in Bend, owner Shanna Laherty carries wooden toys made in Vermont as well as a brand of plastic-free cups and bottles for children. When they look at new products, they look for things that are BPA- and lead-free, she said. Also, when they decide whether or not to buy a used toy, they tend to avoid the more plastic, flimsy toys and instead go for the wooden educational options. “If we take toys, we tend to be very particular about them,” Laherty said.

called alyssum among lettuce beds, taking up 5 to 10 percent of the total field. Hoverflies live in the alyssum and need a source of aphids to feed their young, so they lay their eggs in the lettuce. When they hatch, the larvae start preying on the aphids. “If you were an aphid on a head of lettuce, a hoverfly larva would be a nightmare,” said Brennan. “They are voracious eaters of aphids. One larva per plant will control the aphids.” Brennan is studying the most effective configuration of lettuce and alyssum beds. Some organic strawberry farmers use “trap crops” to lure insects away from their cash crop. Lygus bugs cause the berries to deform. But the bugs like alfalfa better than strawberries, so some farmers plant one bed of alfalfa for every 50 rows of berries. As the lygus bugs crowd into the green growth, a giant tractor-mounted vacuum cleaner comes by and sucks them up. Other farmers simply suck the bugs off the strawberry plants. Increasing native vegetation in the farm fields for biodiversity’s sake is not without controversy. After an outbreak of E. coli in 2006 in spinach, some produce buyers told farmers they would not buy crops from farmers whose fields weren’t clean, because brush could harbor

rodents or other animals that might carry disease. Despite a lack of scientific evidence, Brennan said, some farmers have torn out vegetation. Organic farmers aren’t averse to rolling out certain kinds of chemical sprays. Some — the socalled killer spices — are made from a blend of essential oils and water from strong-smelling plants like clove, mint and thyme. A decade of studies in Canada shows they can be very effective at repelling and killing pests, and are safe, though they aren’t active in the environment long and require multiple applications. As far as weeds on organic farms, the biggest help there may also be cover crops, things like rye and fava beans. Many cover crops aren’t seeded at a high enough rate, Brennan said. “We have five times more weeds in vegetables where cover crop is the accepted rate,” he said. “If we increase the seeding rate by three times, we have virtually no weeds. That’s extremely important because organic farmers have no herbicides.” The scientific search continues for a blend of systems that will grow food naturally and be good for nature on and beyond the farm field. “That’s the holy grail,” says Van Horn, “an agricultural system that mimics a natural system.”

Navis Continued from C1 In 2004, according to Schlosser, one Navis software developer said, “Hey, we’ve got long-distance traffic coming (through) our switch(board). If we can assign a long-distance number (to individual marketing campaigns), we would be able to attract some marketing (business).” Navis management liked the idea. The company began offering to hotels and resorts 800 numbers for individual marketing campaigns, so managers could track the success of them all on one Navis website. The product was named Narrowcast. Slowly but surely over the next few years, the company added to its website the ability to track hotel customers’ requests, reservation agents’ responses to those requests and other information that can improve the bottom line for clients. The thinking used to be, as Kyle Buehner put it, “If we build a great technology, they (clients) will come.” But the company saw “it wasn’t so,” he said. “What we realized was the technology wasn’t enough.” Navis figured it would need to provide hotel and resort staffers with coaching on how to fully implement Narrowcast into daily operations, Buehner said. “If they do these things,” he said, referring to the many actions Navis suggests reservation agents take, “then (the resorts) would see an incredible return.” One reservation agent was doing just that and more: Michelle Marquis, who for more than a decade had been director of sales and marketing at Mt. Bachelor Village Resort. Diane Wilcox, the resort’s general manager then and now, said Marquis was insistent on incorporating the Navis way into the resort’s business. “She just knew it inside and out,” Wilcox said. In 2007, Marquis recalled, Buehner stopped by the resort and talked with her about how she was using Narrowcast. “Kyle was like, ‘Wait a minute,’” she said. “‘You need to teach the rest of our clients what you’re doing.’” She told him in detail about her Narrowcast usage, which greatly exceeded the instructions and best practices Navis was suggesting at the time. “He

would go, ‘Wow, that’s really cool,’” Marquis said. And then she was recruited over to Navis, where she’s now vice president of sales. Over the past five years, Navis has gone from 40 employees to 75, Buehner said. “During the recession, we (taught) our clients how to do more with less,” he said. They had to “make more sales in a time of reduced demand.” The company also added clients. And so it needed more employees. Navis currently has about 200 clients, Schlosser said. About two-thirds are in the southeastern United States, where many resorts are located, and about 5 percent are in Oregon, Buehner said. And yet, most of the company’s call-center employees work in the Northwest, Schlosser said.

The technology Narrowcast costs money for hotels and resorts upfront and then remains accessible for a monthly rate. Rates vary by property, and several elements factor into calculations of costs to the properties, Buehner said. Navis buys thousands of 800, 888, 877, 866 and other numbers for clients to use with different marketing campaigns. When a call comes in, the called number appears in the software, along with the promotion tied to it, so reservation agents know how to respond. Some demographic information on the potential customer also can pop up on the screen. The software performs a reverse look-up. If the potential customer is calling from a home phone, the reservation agent might be able to see a name, an address, a rating of income and other statistics. A cell phone might not bring up any information for the agent to see during the conversation. Generally, though, if the caller has used his or her phone number to call the destination in the past, data on preferences and bookings can come up. In any case, the reservation agent can type in notes, names, numbers, addresses and other information during the call. The call will be available for a manager to listen to later, to evaluate the agent’s performance. Navis offers all its Narrowcast clients assistance from employees, called client advocates, who can help reservation managers

get more out of the software, ultimately to help hotels and resorts raise conversion rates, which measure the percentage of calls that result in reservations. The software also captures the duration and the result of the call, as well as the keywords the customer might have clicked on to arrive at the toll-free number used. Information on agents themselves also enters the system, so reservation managers can track who is registering the most — and least — bookings. Navis also encourages reservation managers to tell agents to personalize conversations, convey confidence, be professional and, of course, ask to make reservations. Such information has great power to increase revenue, Buehner said. “You can’t manage what you can’t measure,” he said. The software also keeps a record of people who end up not making reservations, so agents can call them back. Navis gives clients guidance on how to make this contact effective. To help resorts and hotels answer calls after hours and beyond employee capacity at the destinations, Navis staffs a call center 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Workers in this call center — called RezForce — are spread out through the country and see information on the hotels being called, so they can answer site-specific questions on the fly. Schlosser estimated nowadays Navis enlists two or three new hotels and resorts as clients per month. He insisted that no other company offers the same set of products Navis does. Buehner said it best in an interview with The Bulletin in 2006. “We’re sort of a duck-billed platypus,” he said.

The future The company is working to satisfy its demand, strengthen bonds with clients, enhance its current products and roll out new ones, Buehner said. But growth is around the corner. Small wonder the new office is bigger; Buehner said Navis will soon hire more workers. And as for market expansion? “We have a glimpse of Europe,” Buehner said.

Hjorth wins LPGA finale, Kerr isn’t player of the year

Yoga for cyclists

ORLANDO, Fla. — So much for a frantic finish at the LPGA Tour Championship. Only one person moved up the ranks this week to take home a trophy. That was just fine for Maria Hjorth. With every major award in play for the first time in a decade, all it took was a finalround 72 for Hjorth to claim a one-shot victory over Amy Yang and hold off a huge field that struggled to even make par. None of the annual honors, including player of the year and the No. 1 ranking, changed hands in the season finale. “It was obvious other players had way more pressure on them,” Hjorth said. “So I think in that regard, it might have been a little easier on me.” In the year-end races, each player who began the tournament on top of the award standings stayed there: • Yani Tseng became the first player from Taiwan to win LPGA player of the year. • South Korea’s Na Yeon Choi won this year’s money title. • Choi also claimed the Vare Trophy for the year’s lowest scoring average. • Fellow South Korean Jiyai Shin, who missed the 54-hole cut and was the only one who could unseat Choi on the money list, will keep her spot atop the world ranking. She finished 12 over. Cristie Kerr also was within striking distance to become the first American since Beth Daniel in 1994 to claim LPGA player of the year. But her final-round 73 left her at 2 under for the tournament, tied for third place. — The Associated Press

It was typical Ducks: all business. “There was no surprise to anybody that we were going to be one or two,” defensive tackle Brandon Bair said. “I think you’d have had a great response if you’d seen us down there four or five.” Across the country, Auburn linebacker Craig Stevens had trouble putting his emotions into words. “It’s just an amazing feeling,” he said. “We’ve put in all that hard work (to) see our dreams unfold.” Those outsiders from TCU and Boise State were closer than ever before to playing for college football’s biggest prize. But the thirdranked Horned Frogs, the nation’s only other undefeated team, couldn’t overcome playing in the lightly regarded Mountain West Conference and will have to settle for a trip to the Rose Bowl. As for Boise State, one loss was one too many, and the Broncos ended up out of the BCS altogether this season. The other BCS matchups announced Sunday were: TCU against Big Ten co-champ Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl; Arkansas and Ohio State, which also won a share of the Big Ten title, in the Sugar Bowl; Big 12 champion Oklahoma taking on Big East co-champ Connecticut in the Fiesta Bowl; and, No. 5 Stanford playing ACC title-winner Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl.

BEAU EASTES

he winter high school athletic season is upon us. After just one weekend of competition, Culver wrestling already has won a tournament, the Bend High boys and girls basketball teams are a combined 4-0, and Crook County’s boys hoops squad has snapped a 26game losing streak that dated back to 2009. As successful as the past fall season was for local teams, this winter looks just as promising. Here are a few of the storylines we’ll be following in the weeks ahead:

Can Mountain View return to the boys basketball state tournament?: Last spring the Cougars nearly pulled off what would have been one of the biggest upsets in Oregon prep basketball history, leading nationally acclaimed Jefferson High of Portland for three quarters before eventually falling to the Democrats — a team led by current University of Kentucky starter Terrence Jones — in the 5A state final. This year, though, junior point guard James Reid is not only the lone returning starter for Mountain View, he’s the only player on the Cougars’ roster who was part of the team’s regular eight-man rotation last season. The road to an Intermountain Conference championship has run through Mountain View for most of the last decade, but this season, outside of James Reid, Cougar coach Craig Reid will have to rely on a group of players with virtually zero varsity experience. Through two games this season Mountain View is 1-1. See Winter / D5

McDowell overtakes Woods in season finale The Associated Press THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Tiger Wood delivered a vintage moment, dropping an 8-iron from the sky on the final hole Sunday inside 3 feet for what looked to be a sure victory. Just not this year. The clutch shots and happy endings belonged to U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell. McDowell capped off his greatest season with the biggest comeback ever against Woods. He rallied from a four-shot deficit in the Chevron World Challenge, then upstaged Woods at his own tournament. McDowell holed a 20-foot birdie putt

to force a playoff, then beat Woods on the first extra hole with another birdie from a little bit longer. “They’re the kind of putts that you make them, and you can’t really believe it afterwards,” McDowell said. “They were the stuff of dreams — 2010 has been the stuff of dreams. It’s been that kind of year.” Woods might have known what to expect, considering how his year has gone. Without a trophy for the first time since he can remember, Woods appeared ready to embark on a new chapter after a year of personal turmoil and shocking scores. A four-shot lead turned

GOLF ROUNDUP into a two-shot deficit. He rallied to tie McDowell, then watched the U.S. Open champion deliver the winning shots. It was the first time Woods has lost a tournament when leading by at least three shots going into the final round. And it was the first time anyone could recall Woods feeling good after a loss. “It was a great week, even though I didn’t win,” Woods said. “I’m proud of today, even though I lost.” Woods lost his big lead with a pair of three-putt bogeys, imploded with a double bogey on the par-5 13th to see

his one-shot lead turn into a two-shot deficit, then got new life when McDowell made a couple of mistakes down the stretch. McDowell won with two birdies on the 18th, but he might have won the tournament with a bogey. With a oneshot lead on the par-3 17th, he pulled his 8-iron into grass so high that he took a penalty drop on the 18th tee and pitched over the trees to 7 feet. Woods missed his birdie putt, and McDowell made his putt to stay even with Woods going to the final hole. Also on Sunday: Westwood takes challenge title SUN CITY, South Africa — Top-

ranked Lee Westwood won the Nedbank Golf Challenge, closing with a 4-under 68 for an eight-stroke victory in the 12-man event. The English star had a 17-under 271 total at the Gary Player Country Club and earned $1.25 million. Australian wins open in home country SYDNEY — Geoff Ogilvy won the Australian Open for his second professional victory in his home country, closing with a 3-under 69 for a four-stroke victory. Ogilvy had a 19-under 269 total at The Lakes. The 2006 U.S. Open champion won the 2008 Australian PGA for his only other professional victory Down Under.

Chargers’ turnovers lead to Raiders’ win San Diego held to 21 yards on the ground as Oakland takes 28-13 victory The Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Not even Norvstradamus could have seen this coming. With four straight wins, the San Diego Chargers seemed poised for another strong dash to the finish line under Norv Turner. Their offense had been churning and their defense was swarming. With two straight losses, the Oakland Raiders appeared headed back toward oblivion, where they’ve been since getting humiliated by Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl here in January 2003. Then the Raiders shocked San Diego 28-13 on Sunday, putting a serious crimp in the playoff hopes for the four-time defending AFC West champion Chargers. Jason Campbell ran for one touchdown and threw for another, and Oakland’s running game, which had been stopped cold in consecutive losses, piled up 251 yards. Darren McFadden ran for 97 yards and a TD, and Michael Bush ran for 95 yards and a score. It helped that the Raiders (6-6) were staked to a 14-0 lead thanks to two Chargers turnovers in the first quarter. San Diego, which had gotten two straight 100-yard games from Mike Tolbert, had just 21 yards rushing, tied for seventh-lowest in team history. Tolbert had only 16 yards on seven carries. Rookie Ryan Mathews didn’t play, apparently still bothered by a high ankle sprain. The Raiders swept the season series for the first time since 2001. “I think it’s just really about getting back to who we are and what we do,” coach Tom Cable said. “Everyone was talking all week long about the hottest team in football and on and on,” Raiders defensive tackle Richard Seymour said. “We give them a lot of credit. They are a good football team,

NBA ROUNDUP

Oregon pulls away from PSU for 68-49 victory

Spurs maintain best record, beat Hornets

The Associated Press EUGENE — Joevan Catron had 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead Oregon past Portland State 68-49 Sunday night. Garrett Sim scored 14 points and Jay-R Strowbridge added 11 for the Ducks (5-3), who closed out the game on a 248 run after the Vikings had pulled to within 44-41 on a 3pointer by Melvin Jones with 10:04 to play. But that was the last field goal of the game for Portland State (4-2), which missed its final 10 shots. Chris Harriel had 12 points and nine rebounds to pace the Vikings, who shot just 29.6 percent from the field and were only three of 16 from 3-point range. Sim scored 11 points in the second half and eight in the final 8:14 to help Oregon seal the win. Neither team shot well in the first half, with the Ducks missing 10 of their first 13 shots before finding their stroke midway through the half. Sim, Malcolm Armstead and Johnathan Loyd all made 3pointers during a 19-10 run for a 25-14 lead. But Portland State, after making just four of 19 shots in the opening 15:27, outscored the Ducks 11-5 in the final 4:33 to cut their deficit to 27-22 going into the break. Charles Odum scored all seven of his points for the Vikings during that stretch. Oregon went up 38-30 early in the second half following a pair of layups by Jeremy Jacob. The Vikings answered by pounding the ball inside for eight straight points, including six from Harriel. The Ducks countered with a pair of 3s from Strowbridge to make it 44-38. After three empty possessions by Oregon, Jones drained a 3-pointer to get the Vikings

NHL ROUNDUP

Phoenix records 3-0 shutout over Anaheim The Associated Press ANAHEIM, Calif. — Ilya Bryzgalov played a supporting role in Anaheim behind Jean-Sebastien Giguere for four full seasons, waiting for the chance to show he could be the main man — for them or another club. Now he’s filling that role for the Phoenix Coyotes. Bryzgalov shut out his former team for the third time, Taylor Pyatt scored on a deflection, and Shane Doan connected during a power play to lead the Coyotes to a 3-0 victory on Sunday night. Bryzgalov made 39 saves for his second shutout of the season and 18th in the NHL. He is 10-7-2 with a 2.66 goals-against average against the Ducks, who waived him during the 2007-08 season before he was claimed by the Coyotes. “I always felt that I was capable of being a No. 1 goalie, and here I got an opportunity to prove myself,” said Bryzgalov, who won a Stanley Cup title with the Ducks in 2007. “That team will always been with me in my heart because I spent seven years in that organization, and you can’t throw that away. But right now my home is with the Phoenix Coyotes.” Lee Stempniak, playing in his 400th NHL regular-season game, scored into an empty net with 2:56 remaining. It was the Coyotes’ first win this season over Anaheim after 3-2 and 6-4 losses. “We didn’t think we played too bad in those games, but they found ways to win them,” Doan said. “We didn’t want to let up or take our foot off the gas, because we’d seen what they’d done to us before and we had to be mentally ready for the whole game.” The Ducks, who recorded 41 shots in a 4-0 loss to Detroit on Friday, were shut out in consecutive games for the first time since March 2008. It was the first time they were blanked in back-to-back home games since October 2003. “We were very flat. We didn’t have the emotional level we needed, and that led to frustration,” Anaheim coach Randy

SAN ANTONIO — What the NBA’s best record doesn’t say about the San Antonio Spurs are the four times they’ve fallen behind by 15 points or more before scrambling back to win. “We got to stop that,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. There was nothing to worry about in this game. Tony Parker scored 19 points and the San Antonio Spurs beat the sliding New Orleans Hornets for the second time in a week, 109-84 on Sunday night, never trailing and leading by 38 in the most-lopsided game for the Hornets this season. The Hornets also have other matters: George Shinn has agreed to sell the club to the NBA, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press before the game. Hornets forward David West called the ownership issue a “mess” after the game. “During the summer we felt it was going one way, and I guess things started changing,” said West, who scored 13 points. “Who knows. It’ll be an experience I would imagine for us, coaching staff and all parties involved.” Matt Bonner added 14 points for the Spurs, hitting four of five 3-point attempts.

THE BULLETIN â&#x20AC;˘ Monday, December 6, 2010 D5

BCS Continued from D1 While teams from the power conferences will play for the biggest prize of all, the Tigers and Ducks still represent a changing of the guard in their own way. Since the BCS was born in 1998, its title game has almost always been stocked with college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blue bloods and programs with championship pedigrees. Auburn has one national title to its credit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it came in 1957. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one more than Oregon has. In fact, the Ducks are just the second team in the 13year history of the BCS to reach the championship game looking for the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first national title. Virginia Tech was the first in 1999. Also, this title game will be just the second, not including the inaugural BCS championship in 1998, with two teams that have never been there before. The other was in 2001, when Nebraska and Miami â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not exactly a couple of upstarts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; played for the crystal ball. Another first: Never before have two teams that started the season ranked outside the AP top 10, played for the BCS title. The Ducks began the year ranked 11th in the AP poll, with questions at quarterback after Heisman Trophy hopeful Jeremiah Masoli was kicked off the team. The Tigers were even further back, second in their own state to Nick Sabanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defending national champions at Alabama and No. 22 in the nation. Plus, they were breaking in a junior college transfer at quarterback. Oregon never missed Masoli as coach Chip Kelly simply plugged Darron Thomas into his fast-paced spread offense and watched his team lead the nation in scoring. As for Auburn, that JUCO transfer turned out to be the story of the year on and off the field. Cam Newton has been peerless as a player, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toprated passer and its 15th-best runner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think cam Newton can play for anybody, including the NFL,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can throw it and he can run it. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the top football player in the country.â&#x20AC;? By the time he gets to Arizona, Newton will most likely have the

Winter Continued from D1 Will Bend High continue its girls basketball run from last year?: In his first year as the Lava Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach, Todd Ervin guided Bend High to the Class 5A state girls basketball tournament. Ervin took over a squad that went 12-14 in 200809 and in one year helped transform it into an Intermountain Conference champion. The Bears return two starters from last season. Can they make another run at the state tournament? Bend High looked impressive over the weekend, routing Eagle Point 65-13 before defeating Grants Pass 48-35. Haney, Buckner look to repeat as state wrestling champs: Both just sophomores last season, Redmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryan Haney and Crook Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McKennan Buckner each won a state championship at 103 pounds (Haney at Class 6A, Buckner at Class 5A). Is winning another two state titles for either wrestler out of the question? Both are expected to jump up to 112 pounds this season, which is generally a more competitive weight class around the state. While the two longtime friends will compete in different state tournaments again this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Redmond at 6A and Crook County now at 4A â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the pair of defending champs should square off on Feb. 3 when the Panthers host the Cowboys in a dual meet. Can Culver make it five state wrestling titles in a row?: Since the Oregon School Activities Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reclassification from four athletic divisions to six before the start of the 200607 school year, Culver has dominated Class 2A/1A wrestling, winning four consecutive state

NFR Continued from D1 The Central Oregon team of Charly Crawford, of Prineville, and Russell Cardoza, of Terrebonne, finished eighth with a time 4.7 seconds.

Heisman Trophy to prove it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were several moments (this season) where we said this guy is going to be different from most,â&#x20AC;? second-year Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just as likely unanswered questions about an NCAA investigation into Newtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recruitment will be following the Tigers to Glendale, too. The NCAA determined Newtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Cecil, tried to peddle his son to Mississippi State for cash, but said there was no evidence Cam or Auburn knew about it. So when the ruling came down last week, Cam Newton avoided punishment and the sports governing body let the QB play on. He denied any wrongdoing after the SEC championship game Saturday. While the NCAA will keep on looking into the pay-to-play scheme, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason to believe his status will change between now and the championship game. With Newton on one side and Ducks tailback LaMichael James, another Heisman hopeful, on the other, this has the makings of one wild championship. Who says defense wins? The Ducks are averaging 537.5 yards per game and 49 points. James leads the nation in rushing in an offense that is simple yet breathtaking. Kelly, who five years ago was offensive coordinator at New Hampshire, has taken highspeed football to a new level. In their season-ending, 37-20 victory against Oregon State on Saturday, none of the Ducksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; six scoring drives lasted longer than 2 minutes, 43 seconds. Newton and the Tigers like to play fast, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re different but I think we have some similar philosophies,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They obviously run their quarterback a whole heck of lot more than we do.â&#x20AC;? Auburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spread averages 498 yards per game and the Tigers are averaging 43 points. As has become customary, the SEC champion moves on to play for the national title. The Tigers will try to make it five straight BCS titles for the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best conference. The Ducks will try to become the first Pac-10 team other than USC to finish the season No. 1 in both the AP and coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; polls.

championships. The Bulldogs should be pushed this season, though, as 2010 Class 3A runner-up Reedsport has moved down to the 2A classification because of declining enrollment. Culver has to be the favorite heading into the season, however, with three returning state champions and two state runners-up expected back. The Bulldogs started the season with a bang on Saturday, winning the 13-team Ranger Classic in Estacada. Culver knocked off multiple Class 3A and 4A teams and produced three individual champions. How do the Summit boys follow up three state swim championships?: The Storm lose three individual state champs from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, which won its third consecutive Class 5A state boys swimming title. While a fourth title may be a stretch, Summit does return senior Chris Nyardi â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who placed third in the 200-yard individual medley and fourth in the 500 freestyle last season at state â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as sophomore Aidan Soles, who swam a leg on the Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning 200-yard medley squad.

And these are just the stories weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a head start on. Will another Central Oregon team make a surprise trip to the state basketball tournament like the Summit boys did last year? Could Crook County make a run at the Class 4A state wrestling title? Is the Summit girls swim team a state-title threat after finishing second last season? It should be fun finding out. Watch for our winter-sports prep season previews in the week ahead. Beau Eastes can reached at 541-383-0305 or at beastes@ bendbulletin.com.

C B Cyclocross â&#x20AC;˘ Central Oregon rider fares well at race: A day after dropping out of the elite menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race at the Stanley Portland Cup, Bend resident Ryan Trebon rebounded nicely on Sunday with a third-place finish on the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second day. The Stanley Portland Cup, which was held at Portland International Raceway, was the final stop of the year in the U.S. Gran Prix of Cyclocross series, and Trebonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finish helped him take sixth in the overall point standings for elite men. Jeremy Powers won the race in 57 minutes, 46 seconds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one second ahead of Timothy Johnson in a sprint finish. Those two men duplicated the result in the overall point standings. Trebon finished 28 seconds behind Powers in 58:14. Trebon also earned top honors in the SRAM Most Aggressive Rider Competition. Adam Craig, of Bend, finished 18th in the race in 1:02:06 and 15th in the overall point standings.

Continued from D1 English says incorporating yoga into his weekly routine was key to feeling good on his bike. But he was looking for something less intense. Earlier this fall, he attended a yoga class taught be Portlandbased instructor Uma Kleppinger and designed specifically for cyclists. Kleppinger’s brand of yoga, termed BikeYoga, was precisely what English was looking for in a yoga class. “It’s not the hard-core intensive workout,” he explains. “I’m not getting beat up. It was a recovery effort, holding a pose for a long time and stretching the muscles out.” English says the class targeted bike-specific muscles such as glutes, hamstrings and quads, and that it helped to loosen the tight muscles in his back. “I came out of her class feeling it was exactly what I needed,” he says. “I feel refreshed, stretched out. I’m not drenched in sweat. It was much more relaxing to me. “I don’t need a hard class,” he adds. “Uma’s stuff has been less intense and the key to getting flexibility back.” Central Oregon cyclists — and any riders visiting the area for this week’s Cyclocross National Championships — will have an opportunity to try Kleppinger’s cyclingspecific brand of yoga. BikeYoga classes are planned today through Sunday at various locations in Bend (see “If you go” on this page). Kleppinger says she is a lifelong cyclist, including a stint as a bicycle messenger in New York City in the 1980s. A yoga instructor for the past 12 years, she came up with the yoga-for-cyclists idea about four years ago after she took up bike racing in the Portland area. “Even though I had been cycling my whole life on a consistent level, once I started training and racing — and I had incredible flexibility from years and years of yoga — (that flexibility) really started to go away,” she recalls. “I figured if it was happening to me with aboveaverage flexibility, what’s happening to the average rider?” Kleppinger says she discovered that many of the common aches and pains that cyclists experience — tightness in the hips and calves, lower-back pain, hamstring imbalances, and neck and shoulder pain and tightness — can be alleviated with regular stretching. “They are really difficult muscles to access,” she maintains. “You

Local rider spotlight: Matt Williams Age: 39 Hometown: Bend Occupation: Owner/operator of the Pine Ridge Inn Bike(s) of choice: Road bike, mountain bike, and cyclocross riding and racing Cycling background: The recent transplant from Minnesota has been racing bikes for 10 years; he is ranked as a Category 1-rated cyclist on the road and in cyclocross. He placed 27th in the Master Men 35-to39 race at the 2009 Cyclocross National Championships in Bend.

It’s a health maintenance sort of thing rather than a workout.” Kleppinger also believes that yoga for cyclists should be a short, daily, at-home ritual, rather than an hourlong commitment once or twice a week at a gym or studio. “My approach is less about adding two or three hours of time into your training schedule,” she explains. “(Cyclists) will get more out of practicing frequently for short periods versus going to a yoga class once a week and hitting it hard and having to recover from that. That doesn’t translate into

long-term improvements for most people.” If you miss Kleppinger’s BikeYoga classes this week, not to worry. She is planning to move her business to Bend early next year. She also plans to take BikeYoga on the road to cycling festivals and major races, such as Mountain Bike Oregon and the Sea Otter Classic in California. This past summer she published a book titled “BikeYoga,” which outlines the at-home yoga routine she recommends for cyclists. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at Kleppinger’s classes in Bend this week. “The perception,” says Kleppinger, “is that yoga is a woman’s sport, that there’s going to be all these flexible women and I’m not going to be able to do any of it and it’s going to hurt. (BikeYoga) is an extremely chilled-out yoga practice. Pretty much anybody can do it. “It’s not a yoga practice for yoga people,” she adds. “It’s a yoga practice for cyclists.” Heather Clark can be reached at cyclingcentral@bendbulletin.com.

Matt Williams, owner of the Pine Ridge Inn

An unusual path to Bend: It has been a whirlwind of a year for Williams and his family of six (he and his wife, Jessica, have four children, ages 18, 9, 7 and 3). Williams, an elitelevel amateur cyclist from St. Cloud, Minn., traveled to Bend last December to compete in the 2009 Cyclocross National Championships. While here, he and his wife stayed at the Pine Ridge Inn, a boutique hotel located on Century Drive about a mile from the championship race course in the Old Mill District. Though the Williamses had vacationed in Bend before, last December’s visit cemented their commitment to relocate to Central Oregon. They arranged to buy the Pine Ridge Inn (Matt Williams had been working as a hotel developer for GrandStay Hotels), and seven months later they moved their family here. “The whole reason we moved out here was so we would have more time,” says Williams. “I’ve been traveling for 21 years, opening, building and developing hotels. We moved to Bend to slow down and for the lifestyle. I haven’t left (Bend) since we moved here. We’re soaking up every minute.” Though 2010 was a busy year for Williams, it did not take long for him to become part of the regional cyclocross-racing scene. He scored a top-10 finish in the Master A division at a Cross Crusade Series race in Portland, and he recently won the Master A division at the local Crossaflixion Cup. GrandStay Hotels cycling team: Williams took up bike racing about 10 years ago and with several buddies decided to form a team, sponsored by his employer. “We were all Category 5s (beginners) on the road and didn’t have a clue what we were doing,” he recalls. “One thing led to the next and we started upgrading and more guys wanted on the team. Now there are 10 of us, and we’re all Category 1 (elite) on the road and for cyclocross, and some are pro mountain bikers as well. “I still operate and direct the team and am one of the team members,” Williams continues. “Our team is based in Minnesota, but I run it from here and we’re very competitive around the Midwest.” Where to find Williams racing this week and beyond: Williams is scheduled to race this Saturday at the 2010 Cyclocross National Championships in the Men Master 40 to 44 age division. Next year, he plans to race on the road with his GrandStay teammates here in Central Oregon in the Cascade Cycling Classic and the Masters Road National Championships. Williams says he can hardly believe the life-changing move that brought him and his family to Bend this past year. “For me, it’s monumental that in a few days I’ll be racing nationals in my hometown,” he says. “Last year, we traveled almost 2,000 miles to get here. Now, I just have to travel a mile from my house. It’s going to be awesome.” — Heather Clark
