New system improves matching of substitutes, subjects

$900K loan to pay for jail remodel

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

The Deschutes County sheriff is moving ahead with a plan to remodel the jail, six months after voters turned down a $44 million bond measure that would have paid for a larger jail expansion project.

taken from various savings funds with the intention of paying it off later by selling real estate.

In this case, the loan will come from a savings account built up with a countywide tax, which voters approved in 2006 to pay for sheriff’s services and operations.

The High Desert Education Service District has refined its SubFinder system in an effort to better match substitute teachers with the subjects they’re teaching.

In March, several Bend-La Pine School Board members expressed concerns about substitutes playing “American Idol” episodes in music classes, showing movies for days at a time and being unqualified to teach high-level math or foreign language classes.

District officials promised they’d try to make the SubFinder system more effective, and nine months later they’re seeing results.

“What we asked them to do was to change the basic format of how we call substitutes so that instead of calling, say, your favorite subs, it’s based on endorsement,” said Jim Widsteen, director of human resources for the Bend district.

High Desert ESD Human Resources Director Jayel Hayden said the ESD is simply using a part of the SubFinder software it’s never used before — a function that matches teachers’ licenses to substitute requests. SubFinder has been used in area schools for many years; this is simply a way to further refine the search for subs.

In the past, the system allowed substitutes, schools and teachers to create preference lists.

WASHINGTON — As more people use their Internet connection to watch movies and TV shows, fears have grown that broadband providers such as AT&T and Comcast will become online gatekeepers, using their control of Web pipes to block online video competitors like Netflix and protect their own pay-TV businesses.

That potential conflict is at the heart of a scheduled vote by the Federal Communications Commission today on rules to govern how broadband providers manage network traffic, a key moment in the “network neutrality” debate. The outcome may affect the ability of giants such as Netflix and Apple to deliver movies and TV shows online for a fraction of the cost of a cable subscription.

On the ground, troops entrust safety, lives to junior officers

Umbra Total eclipse Lasts 72 minutes

The attorney for the Deschutes County Deputy District Attorneys Association has notified county officials that the group wants to reopen bargaining talks — and believes the county acted in bad faith by failing to vote on a proposed contract by the end of the year.

The letter, received Monday

by Chris Bell, assistant legal counsel for Deschutes County, is a response to last week’s unanimous vote by the Deschutes County Commission to wait until January to make a decision on a contract approved by the union and county legal staff.

The agreement included a sought-after “just cause” provision, which would require the district attorney to provide specific reasons and follow a set protocol when disciplining or firing one of his or her deputies.

Deputy district attorneys’ interest in the provision was sparked by the election of Patrick Flaherty, who has said he plans to dismiss some prosecutors when he becomes district attorney next month.

On Monday, Flaherty notified four prosecutors that they would not be employed as of his first day in office.

Last night and early today, there was a total lunar eclipse. Such an eclipse occurs when the full moon passes through the Earth’s shadow, called the umbra. The penumbra is a zone where the Earth blocks some, but not all, of the sun’s rays. During the 72-minute eclipse, the Earth’s shadow gradually covered the moon, making it appear a dull red. It’s the first time that’s happened in the Northern Hemisphere in 372 years — since 1638.

Despite snow clouds in the weather forecast, a Bulletin photographer attempted to capture a multiple-exposure image of the celestial event from Smith Rock. If he got a clear shot, it will be posted this morning at www.bendbulletin.com/eclipse.

QURGHAN TAPA, Afghanistan — The hill wasn’t much to behold, just a mound of dirt barely 80 feet high. But for Taliban fighters, it was a favorite spot for launching rockets into Imam Sahib city.

Ideal, U.S. commanders figured, for the insurgents to disrupt the parliamentary elections.

So under a warm September sun, a dozen U.S. infantrymen snaked their way toward the hill’s summit, intent on holding it until voting booths closed the next evening.

At the top, soldiers settled into trenches near the rusted carcass of a Soviet troop carrier and prepared for a long day of watching tree lines.

Then, an explosion.

“Man down!” someone shouted.

What does ‘humane’ mean?

It’s showing up on labels in response to concerns about animal welfare, but the standards aren’t clear and things could get political

By Georgina Gustin St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — American shoppers face a dizzying array of labels in the aisles of their grocery stores, most designed to help them make healthy choices.

Soon they’ll see yet another label — this one concerning the health of animals in the food chain.

“There’s organic, there’s fair trade, but ‘humane’ is the next big thing,” said Phil Lempert, a supermarket and consumer behavior analyst. “We ask shoppers what they’re looking for, and that’s what they’re telling us.”

The increasing consumer demand, though, has already touched off a controversy over labeling standards for meat and eggs.

It also has resulted in charges that some producers have misrepresented their products and practices.

The process of crafting clear and meaningful standards, Lempert said, could get contentious.

“It’s going to be very political,” he said. “I also think it’s going to be much more expensive. It might increase prices 20, 30, 40, 50 percent. But you’ve got people who will pay more for the label.”

Three major supermarket chains — Whole Foods, Supervalu and Safeway — have recently pledged to boost their animal welfare standards and to inform shoppers about their efforts with new labels or in-store signs.

The move comes after recent research shows that consumers rank animal welfare high on their lists of concerns. A study by the Chicago-based food industry research firm Technomic revealed that well over half of consumers believe animal welfare is among the most important social issues in the food business. A survey financed by the American Farm Bureau showed that 89 percent of consumers believe that companies that require farmers to improve animal care “are doing the right thing.”

New ratings system Whole Foods plans to launch a program developed by a group called the Global Animal Partnership that will rate products on a scale of 1 to 5 based on their animal welfare standards. The program has rolled out at some Whole Foods stores in the South

Emily Rasinski / St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Meat Department employee Matthew Oliver shows short ribs to a customer at the Whole Foods store in Brentwood, Mo., earlier this month. Whole Foods, Supervalu and Safeway have all vowed to boost their animal welfare standards and to inform shoppers about their efforts via labels or signs. already and will expand to more stores early next year.

The partnership — a Washington-based nonprofit composed of farmers, animal welfare advocates, scientists and retailers — has developed a progressive “step” system that rates pork, chicken and beef from producers that choose to participate in the program. For example, a steak would earn a “Step 1” rating if the animal spent two-thirds of its life on pasture or rangeland, but would earn a “5” if it spent its entire life on pasture or rangeland.

Chicken producers can an earn a “3” or “4” rating if they provide their birds with two or more “enrichments,” such as hay bales or whole grains, and a “5” if they have fewer than 500 birds or they provide perches.

The program requires, among other things, that producers be able to trace an animal through its life, from youth to slaughter, and prohibits the routine use of antibiotics.

The partnership says 700 farms have been certified so far, and anticipates 1,000 by the end of the year. These include some larger specialty producers, such as California-based Niman Ranch and Bell & Evans, headquartered in Pennsylvania.

While some of the program requirements dovetail with those of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s organic program, advocates say the program goes beyond the government standards.

The “USDA Organic” label, for example, also prohibits antibiotics, but critics accuse big producers of exploiting vague language in the law and violating certain

organic principles, especially one requiring that animals have access to pasture. Some believe such practices have undermined consumer confidence in the organic label.

“There’s been so much controversy about what organics are,” Lempert said. Shoppers “want to know specifics.”

Smart phone apps have given consumers better tools for informed shopping. “Consumers today are not going to fall for that,” Lempert said, referring to misleading package claims.

“They can find out about a product with their phone, just standing in front of it.”

Living up to labeling The Global Animal Partnership is one of a handful of humane-certification programs, adding to a sometimes confusing label landscape. Because there’s no government standard for “humane,” companies are now free to classify products by their own definition.

On meat products, shoppers

also may see “Animal Welfare Approved” or “Certified Humane,” which are run by different organizations, and like the partnership, use third-party certifiers. Egg cartons also can bear “Food Alliance Certified,” “United Egg Producers Certified” and “American Humane Certified,” though the latter two programs allow birds to be in small cages.

“These are industry attempts to essentially put a label on a product to give consumers a false assurance that the animals are well-treated,” said Paul Shapiro, a spokesman for the Humane Society of the United States.

The livestock industry has chafed against some of the thirdparty certification programs, underscoring its own efforts to support better animal husbandry. Some of the requirements of these programs, critics say, are impractical or unrealistic.

“It has really caught us off guard that groups might attack our lifestyle, indirectly or directly, and tell us how to raise our animals,” said Dan Thomson, a professor of medicine and epidemiology at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University. “ ... I think it would be irresponsible to establish standards and not include the people who know how to do the job.”

Both the livestock industry and animal advocacy groups say the most important thing for consumers — who are already dealing with so much seemingly conflicting package information — is to come up with a single standard.

“We need one set of standards, so we remove the marketing of animal welfare in the grocery store,” Thomson said, “because it’s not fair to the animals, the producers or the consumers.”

Food safety bill expected to beef up FDA’s powers Congress is poised to pass legislation today

By Andrew Zajac McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — In a world where we get garlic from China, shellfish from Thailand and sugar cane from Mexico, Congress is ready to approve a food-safety bill that would strengthen the nation’s top regulator and impose new rules on domestic production and trading partners.

The legislation is aimed at preventing tainted food from entering the supply chain, sickening Americans and forcing huge recalls. It would give the Food and Drug Administration new powers to demand recalls and require importers to certify the safety of what they’re bringing into this country.

By allowing regulators, for instance, to react more quickly to reports of illness, the legislation could limit or prevent recalls such as those of spinach and peanuts in recent years, supporters said.

The House is expected to pass

the measure today, sending it to President Barack Obama for his signature.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime update. A lot has changed since 1938,” when the current food regulatory regime was established, said Ami Gadhia, policy counsel for the nonprofit Consumers Union. “This will put FDA in a posture to prevent foodborne illness before it happens.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week said tainted food is responsible for 3,000 deaths and 48 million illnesses a year.

But even with new powers, federal regulators may be hardpressed to overcome a challenge that has grown in recent years: Food-safety rules changed little over the last 70 years even as the U.S. food chain evolved into a global network including foreign growers, producers and processors over whom the United States has little or no direct control.

T S Support building for arms control treaty

By Peter Baker New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Senate moved closer Monday to approving a new arms control treaty with Russia over the opposition of Republican leaders as lawmakers worked on a side deal to assure skeptics that the arms pact would not inhibit U.S. plans to build missile defense systems.

A Republican senator announced that he would vote for the treaty and two others said they were leaning toward it after a closed-door session on classified aspects of the pact. At the same time, Sen. John McCain, RAriz., produced separate legislation that could reassure fellow Republicans worried about the treaty’s impact on missile defense.

By the end of another tumultuous day, treaty backers said they could count more than the two-thirds majority required for approval in votes that could begin as early as today. The Senate voted 64-33 to defeat two Republican amendments Monday, just two votes short of what treaty supporters will need for final approval; three senators who supported the amendments have already said they would vote for the treaty in the end.

The momentum building for the treaty came despite the announcements of the two top Senate Republican leaders, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Jon Kyl of Arizona, that they would vote against the treaty, known as New START. Treaty supporters pressured wavering Republicans on Monday with an appeal by Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to approve the agreement.

The treaty requires the United States and Russia to reduce their nuclear stockpiles so that within seven years of ratification neither deploys more than 1,550 strategic warheads and 700 launchers. It would also require the resumption of on-site inspections that lapsed in December 2009 when the original START treaty expired.

Republican opponents have tried to amend the treaty to fix what they see as flaws, but the White House has rejected that because any change in the text would require the U.S. and Russia to go back to the negotiating table. Russia weighed in Monday, warning the Senate not to rewrite the treaty.

But the Senate rejected three more such amendments Monday.

12 terror suspects arrested Scotland Yard short on details but calls raids ‘absolutely necessary’ to keep the public safe

By Henry Chu Los Angeles Times

LONDON — Police in Britain arrested 12 men Monday in early-morning raids that they said were necessary to head off a potential terrorist attack.

John Yates, the assistant commissioner of Scotland Yard, declined to give details of any alleged plot but said that the men were all detained “on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism” in Britain.

It was the largest such sweep in the country since April 2009, when authorities across northern England arrested a dozen men for alleged involvement in what officials called a “very big” and imminent terrorist attack. All 12 suspects were released two weeks later for lack of evidence, an embarrassing turn for law enforcement.

Yates insisted Monday that the new sweep was unavoidable, carefully planned and based on actionable intelligence.

“With the information we had, I believe today’s arrests were absolutely necessary in order to keep the public safe,” he said.

The suspects, who range in age from 17 to 28, were, with one exception, arrested about 5 a.m. at or near their homes in London, in the northern English city of Stoke-on-Trent and in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. One man was arrested away from home in Birmingham, in central England.

The raids involved the cooperation of at least four law enforcement agencies and “significant resources,” Yates said. The officers were unarmed during the raids, suggesting that any plot by the suspects was not in its ad-

vanced stages.

British news outlets said several of the men were from Bangladesh but the others were British, a report that is likely to stoke the debate in Britain over the dangers of “homegrown” terrorism.

Britain has agonized about the issue since 2005, when suicide attackers who bombed the London public transport system, killing 52 people, turned out to be native-born Britons.

Investigators declined to say whether the alleged plot in Britain was related to a statement by an Iraqi official last week that alQaida was planning attacks on the U.S. and Europe during the Christmas season.

Defectors from North Korea, some wearing masks to conceal their identities, gather at a rally in Seoul on Monday for victims of North Korea’s attack on Yeonpyeong Island. North Korea on Monday called South Korean artillery drills a “reckless military provocation” but said it would not retaliate, backing away from earlier threats to strike back.

North Korea backs away from threat to retaliate against South Pyongyang also appears willing to make concessions on nukes

By Foster Klug and Ahn Young-Joon The Associated Press

YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea — North Korea backed off threats to retaliate against South Korea for military drills and reportedly offered concessions on its nuclear program — signs it was looking to lower the temperature on the Korean peninsula after weeks of soaring tensions.

But Pyongyang has feinted toward conciliation before and failed to follow through.

The North’s gestures Monday came after South Korea launched fighter jets, evacuated hundreds of residents near its tense land border with the North and sent residents of islands near disputed waters into bunkers in case Pyongyang followed through on

its vow to attack over the drills.

“It appears that deterrence has been restored,” said Daniel Pinkston, Seoul-based analyst with the International Crisis Group think tank. “The North Koreans only understand force or show of force.”

On Nov. 23, the North shelled Yeonpyeong Island, about seven miles from its shores, in response to an earlier round of South Korean live-fire maneuvers. The North’s artillery barrage killed two marines and two construction workers in its first attack targeting civilian areas since the 1950-53 Korean War. That clash sent tensions soaring between the two countries — which are still technically at war.

They’ve remained in a tense standoff since then, and an emergency meeting of U.N. diplomats

in New York on Sunday failed to find any solution to the crisis.

But Monday brought some of the first positive signs in weeks, as a high-profile American governor announced what he said were two nuclear concessions from the North.

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a frequent unofficial envoy to North Korea and former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said that during his visit the North agreed to let U.N. atomic inspectors visit its main nuclear complex to make sure it’s not producing enriched uranium for a nuclear bomb, according to a statement from his office.

Pyongyang is believed to be seeking one-on-one talks with Washington before returning to stalled nuclear disarmament negotiations hosted by China.

A dubious view Analyst Baek Seung-joo cautioned that the North’s reported concessions on its nuclear program are only a tactic aimed at easing international pressure.

Baek, of the state-run Korea Institute for Defense Analyses in Seoul, said the comments would be significant if the North made them officially, rather than through unofficial envoy and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.

The North was only sounding out U.S. and South Korean intentions by talking to Richardson, Baek said, and if the situation doesn’t turn in the North’s favor, it will back away.

New York governor fined $62K for ethics violation Paterson sought, took tickets to World Series

By David M. Halbfinger New York Times News Service

The New York state ethics commission imposed a record fine of $62,125 on Gov. David Paterson on Monday for soliciting and accepting free tickets to the 2009 World Series from the New York Yankees.

The panel said the governor knew he had broken the law and then lied under oath to cover it up.

The ruling came just 11 days before Paterson is to leave office, providing an embarrassing coda to his error-plagued tenure and underscoring how a seemingly trivial ethical misstep could mushroom into a damaging scandal.

The panel found that Paterson, a New York Democrat, Gov. David v i o l a t e d Paterson ethics laws by asking the Yankees, who have many matters before the state, for a gift worth thousands of dollars, leaving the impression that the team could exert improper influence over him.

In its ruling, the commission found that the governor’s sworn testimony about how he obtained the tickets had been refuted by one of his own top aides and was further undermined by officials with the Yankees, a handwriting expert and documentary evidence.

The commission interpreted the governor’s false testimony, in February, as “evidence that he knew his conduct was unlawful.”

The Yankees do business with the state on “myriad and continuing” issues, including real estate, roads and public transportation, stadium development and tax matters, creating a clear conflict of interest for Paterson, the commission said.

Soliciting and accepting tickets from the Yankees, it said, “gives a reasonable basis for the impression that the Yankees can improperly influence the governor or unduly enjoy his favor in the performance of his official duties.”

Ted Wells, a lawyer for Paterson, assailed the commission’s decision, calling it “outrageous” that it had overruled its own hearing officer, who had recommended a much lower fine.

Redistricting: Which states may gain or lose?

By Tom Hamburger and Kim Geiger McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Political activists will be watching closely today when the Census Bureau releases the first official population data from the 2010 census.

The numbers, updated every 10 years, will break down the “resident population” of the U.S. and detail the new apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives, based on population shifts since the 2000 census. Some states are likely to lose seats and, hence, votes in Congress.

Q: A:

Why is this a big deal?

It can help determine who will control the House,

state legislatures and even the presidency.

Today’s release launches the process of redistricting, in which each state redraws congressional district boundaries to make each district roughly equal in population — in some cases giving one party a significant electoral advantage.

The number of seats assigned to each state can influence presidential contests because they are used to determine representation in the Electoral College.

What should we be watching for today?

The states with the biggest anticipated changes are Texas, which could gain as many as five seats, and Ohio, which could lose two. Nine states — Illinois, Iowa, Louisi-

Q: A:

ana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania — could each lose one.

It’s anticipated that California will keep its 53 seats and remain the largest delegation.

How could this affect a presidential contest?

Presidents are selected by a vote of the Electoral College, and the makeup of that body is based partly on the number of seats a state has in the House of Representatives. It takes 270 electoral college votes to win the presidency, and the votes occasionally have been extremely close.

Four swing states — Florida, Nevada, Iowa and Ohio — stand to gain or lose seats. A few of traditionally safe Democratic states

Q: A:

could lose seats, and some traditionally safe Republican states could gain.

Which party is most likely to benefit from this process?

The Republican Party.

In part, that’s because the new population numbers are expected to increase representation in Republican-leaning states while traditional Democratic strongholds are losing seats in the House.

Perhaps more important, Republicans will have far more control than Democrats over the redrawing of congressional district boundaries. In most states, legislatures control the process, and in last month’s election Republicans gained control of 20 legislative bodies.

W B Political tension high in Ivory Coast ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — The president of Ivory Coast on Monday stepped up the pressure on the man who defeated him in an election last month, cutting off food and medical help to his headquarters in a hotel guarded by United Nations peacekeepers. President Laurent Gbagbo ordered the cutoff even as the U.N. extended its mandate in Ivory Coast.

As the face-off between the incumbent and the victor in the presidential election intensified, Gbagbo continued to defy international demands that he step down, instead showing signs that he was escalating a crackdown on opponents, including Alassane Ouattara, who has been recognized as the winning candidate by foreign powers.

“Massive violations” of human rights have taken place in the past four days, the U.N.’s high commissioner for human rights, Navi Pillay, said Sunday, with more than 50 people killed and hundreds reported to have been abducted from their homes, often at night, by armed men in uniforms.

Indian leader offers to testify in scandal NEW DELHI — Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh offered Monday to appear before a committee investigating a telecommunications scandal that has rocked India’s political establishment. He also rejected claims by opposition parties that he had been trying to avoid any questioning over the scandal.

Singh’s offer is the latest development in what has become a major political crisis for the coalition government, which the Congress Party leads. The scandal centers on the 2008 allocation of cell phone spectrum to private operators. Investigators are examining whether the telecommunications minister, who has since resigned, favored certain applicants and whether bribes and fiscal improprieties took place.

Pope laments scope of sex abuse cases ROME — Pope Benedict XVI said Monday that the continuing sexual abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Church had reached a “degree we could not have imagined” this year, and that the church must reflect on its failures, help the victims and prevent abusers from becoming priests.

“We must ask ourselves what we can do to repair as much as possible the injustice that has occurred,” the pope said in a Christmas message to the Vatican hierarchy. “We must ask ourselves what was wrong in our proclamation, in our whole way of living the Christian life, to allow such a thing to happen.”

Amid the chaos, Iraqis turn to TV, the Web to be heard

By Shashank Bengali McClatchy-Tribune News Service

BAGHDAD — Amid political gridlock, endemic corruption, infrastructure breakdowns and persistent violence, ordinary Iraqis often feel that the chaos drowns out their voices.

On television and online, however, there’s plenty of space to be heard.

“There’s a problem with the sewage system in the Hurriyah neighborhood,” one Baghdad resident reported via a glitchy cell phone line recently on “Hello Iraqiya,” a new morning call-in show on the state-run Iraqiya channel.

“We are teachers who were accepted for graduate studies, but the Education Ministry hasn’t given us permission to leave yet,” said a caller from Najaf, in the country’s south.

Long-suffering Iraqis have many words to describe their government; “accessible” and “responsive” aren’t among them.

Stymied by red tape and lacking formal mechanisms, many are taking to TV shows and websites to air complaints about their government, from the heartrending to the humdrum, and by the thousands.

“Once again, your Highness the Minister,” began a particularly acid letter to the national security minister that was posted last week on Kitabat.com, a popular Iraqi website. “We find ourselves compelled to write to you not through official channels ... but through media outlets that you consider blasphemous.”

The letter went on to accuse the security services of a long list of abuses, including illegal imprisonment, torture, sectarian bias and corruption.

No follow-up The missives aren’t expected to produce results, experts say, but they fill up a substantial portion of the media space in a

Al-Maliki names new Cabinet Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki submitted his new Cabinet on Monday, clearing a hurdle to seating a government more than nine months after national elections even though serious disputes with one of his key allies remained.

Nearly one-third of the nominees were only acting ministers, an attempt to buy time to work out disagreements over some of the posts with the hardline Shiite faction loyal to antiAmerican cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Without the Sadrists, al-Maliki would not have had enough support to try to build the government in the first place.

Parliament was expected to vote on the list of 42 ministers and other top government posts as early as today, according to Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi, a member of the Sunnibacked Iraqiya alliance that won the most seats in the March 7 election and, until this month, bitterly fought to prevent al-Maliki from keeping his job.

Although 13 of the posts were given to acting ministers, al-Nujaifi’s endorsement suggested that Iraqiya was on board.

— The Associated Press country where unemployment is rife, one in four people lacks clean drinking water and political leaders have taken more than nine months to form a government since parliamentary elections in March.

“They are desperate for an outlet for their frustrations,” said Ibrahim al-Marashi, an expert

on the Iraqi media who teaches at IE University in Madrid. “I have never heard of a case of a government official following up on one of these calls.”

The comments on Iraqiya are relatively tame. The stateowned channel, despite a $500 million U.S. investment aimed at making it a PBS-style public broadcaster, is widely seen as pro-government.

While its slate of programming purports to connect individuals with their leaders — via “You and the Official,” in which officials answer viewers’ questions, and “Open Encounter,” which features political leaders interacting with a studio audience — the tone of the programs is brisk, upbeat and nonconfrontational.

’Looking for a voice’ Over the past year, a more freewheeling channel, Baghdadiya, scandalized Iraq’s political class with “Baghdadiya and the People,” a live program in which a young correspondent, Minas Suheil, visited different parts of the capital and asked people’s opinions of their government.

The interviews were raw and often heartbreaking.

Last month, however, Iraqi authorities shut down Baghdadiya, accusing it of violating professional standards after it aired the demands of terrorists who killed dozens of Christians in an assault Oct. 31 on a Baghdad church. It had ranked consistently among the most popular channels in Iraq.

“Judging by the popularity of some of these shows, I think people are definitely looking for a voice,” said Theo Dolan, an expert on media in the Middle East at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington. “People have a lot to talk about. I’m not sure that voicing their complaints via the media has necessarily resulted in better services, but this takes time.”

Continued from A1 For example, teachers could create lists of substitutes they’d used before, and schools could create lists of substitutes they preferred. If no one from a preference list took a job, the job was opened up to all substitutes in the pool.

That’s still the case, but now an additional list is available.

Hayden said schools and teachers all have preference lists; after matching a request to the teachers with the preferred license, the software tries to find matches on the school and teacher preference lists to narrow the number of possible substitutes for the job.

A substitute assignment can be placed in the system up to 30 days ahead of time. If a job is five or fewer days away and remains unassigned, the system will contact only teachers in the system who have the right subject matter endorsement.

When two hours remain to fill the substitute request, the job opens up to all substitutes.

“That basically means no one else who had the skill took the job,” Widsteen said. “So far we’re seeing pretty good results.”

Widsteen said that since implementing the new system, he has received no complaints about misuse of class time.

“In reality, there were just a couple of concerns last year that led to the changes, but I haven’t seen any concerns this year,” he said.

Some concerns Currently, there are a little more than 900 licensed and unlicensed substitutes in the ESD’s SubFinder system.

Substitutes must be licensed to teach in a classroom. Unlicensed substitutes can serve as education assistants or in similar positions.

The daily wage established by state law for substitutes is about $160.

“Substituting is an interesting business. If you’re a sub, you can decide whether you want to work or not on any given day, and as I see the snow fly and the powder build up, on sunny days there may be less subs available,” Widsteen said. “There are other subs who would work every day and who aggressively try to get some of these jobs.”

Some substitutes aren’t thrilled with the new setup.

“We’ve had some concerns by some of our loyal subs,” he said. “Especially at the middle school level, we’re stressing endorsements at a higher level than in the past, so some middle school subs who may have a language-arts endorsement were being called for math and science, are feeling a little slighted. They’re not working as much because of this.”

Hayden has only had one complaint.

“I’ve heard from one sub who didn’t care for this at all,”

“(Principals) got the message loud and clear about the concerns regarding substitutes, and they’re taking them very seriously. … No one wins when you have a poor sub in the classroom, and no one wants that.”

— Vicki Van Buren of Bend-La Pine Schools

Hayden said. “I explained that in this climate students can’t miss a minute of instruction time. We’ve got to get people with the correct endorsement into these positions.”

But in spite of some resistance, Hayden believes the new process is an improvement.

“I think it’s working, especially for those really more technical classes like advanced math and physics and chemistry, even foreign language,” he said.

What’s next?

ESD staff are considering adding another feature in the software that could allow every district to have its own preference list. That would be particularly important, Hayden said, for the more farflung districts that need more time to get substitutes into the classroom.

“We want to make sure we get somebody for them, and sometimes that two-hour time frame is too little,” he said.

And to further determine whether substitutes are successful in the classroom, BendLa Pine Schools is using new forms to evaluate substitutes.

For the first time, the district is also asking substitutes to evaluate the lesson plans and preparation the teachers leave for them. The vast majority of the evaluations have been positive.

“There haven’t been any major concerns that have come my way,” Widsteen said. “We have a lot of really good substitutes who do a good job.”

Any concerns about teacher plans would go to the school’s principal, Widsteen said.

The district is focusing the evaluation forms on the middle school and high school levels. “(Principals) got the message loud and clear about the concerns regarding substitutes, and they’re taking them very seriously,” said Vicki Van Buren, a chief academic officer in charge of high school programs. “They do monitor the subs’ classrooms. No one wins when you have a poor sub in the classroom, and no one wants that.”

FCC chairman’s plan Genachowski’s plan would bar broadband operators from blocking access to any legal website or application, or from transmitting traffic over the Web in a discriminatory way — for example, by degrading the quality of an online video website that threatens to draw customers away from their own video or cable offerings.

But the plan would give broadband companies a green light to charge heavy Web users more than casual ones. People who stream a lot of Netflix or YouTube video to their laptops or TVs might pay more for their Internet service than those who only send e-mails or read news. Such “usage-based pricing” plans could give broadband companies a better return on investment and encourage them to beef up their networks, Genachowski said.

The FCC proposal to maintain so-called “network neutrality”: • Would bar broadband operators from blocking or slowing access to particular websites or services.

Genachowski’s proposal, which he described in broad strokes during a speech this month but has declined to make public before the vote, has drawn mixed reaction from Silicon Valley. Several venture capitalists and entrepreneurs, including Craigslist’s Craig Newmark, said it struck a sensible balance between keeping the Internet open to users and entrepreneurs without saddling broadband operators with burdensome rules that might dissuade them from upgrading networks.

“It doesn’t have everything that everyone wanted,” said Rey Ramsey, president and CEO of TechNet, a network of top techindustry executives. “Down the road, it will probably have to be updated … but it gives a little to get a little.”

The big broadband providers, meanwhile, have held their fire, relieved that Genachowski backed off his earlier push to regulate them under the stricter area of telecommunications law that governs telephone companies.

• Would give broadband companies a green light to charge heavy Web users more than casual ones. People who stream a lot of video might pay more than those who only send e-mails or read news.

— San Jose Mercury News

Under fire …

But the proposal has drawn fire from public interest groups and the Open Internet Coalition, which represents Silicon Valley interests such as Skype and eBay. They say it would give network operators too much room to charge some sites for faster speeds and leaving sites that don’t pay extra in slower lanes.

Such a system, they say, would put online startups that lack deep pockets to pay at a severe disadvantage, hurting innovation on the Web. Critics also say any rules should apply equally to wired and wireless broadband; Genachowski’s plan would mostly exempt wireless service from the new rules, except for a ban on blocking sites and a requirement that wireless operators disclose how they are managing traffic.

At the other end of the spectrum, Republican FCC members and lawmakers say the Web has thrived in the absence of extensive government regulations and

should be left alone. The proposed rules, FCC Commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker said in a speech this month, would “micromanage the most dynamic and investment-friendly portion of our economy.”

But Democrats outnumber Republicans 3 to 2 on the commission, and the big unknown is whether Democratic Commissioner Michael Copps, an advocate for strong rules, will settle for the compromise.

… and under wraps Uncertainty surrounds the debate because Genachowski is keeping the plan under wraps until the day of the vote as commissioners negotiate among themselves and make final tweaks. A spokeswoman said that process “has always been the case” at the commission and that no one has been denied a say in the longrunning net-neutrality debate.

But critics such as Sascha Meinrath, an Internet expert at the New America Foundation think tank, said the process “makes a mockery” of Genachowski’s pledge to run a transparent agency. TechNet’s Ramsey did not go that far, but he agreed that the public should be privy to more details before such a critical vote.

“I would like to see something directly out there that everybody can review,” he said.

THE BULLETIN • Tuesday, December 21, 2010 A5

Officers Continued from A1 From across the hill, they could hear the faint sound of moaning: One of the company’s two minesweepers lay crumpled on the ground.

The soldiers of Third Platoon froze in place.

Toward the rear of the line, Capt. Adrian Bonenberger, the 33year-old company commander, cursed to himself. During weeks of planning, he had tried to foresee every potential danger, from heat exposure to suicide bombers. Yet now Third Platoon was trapped among mines they apparently could not detect. A medical evacuation helicopter had to be called, the platoon moved to safety, the mission drastically altered. His mind raced.

“Did I do the right thing?” he would ask himself later.

Far from the generals in the Pentagon and Kabul, America’s front-line troops entrust their lives to junior officers like Bonenberger. These officers, in their 20s and early 30s, do much more than lead soldiers into combat. They must be coaches and therapists one minute, diplomats and dignitaries the next. They are asked to comprehend the machinations of Afghan allies even as they parry the attacks of Taliban foes.

As commander of Alpha Company, First Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, Bonenberger was in charge not just of ensuring the safety of 150 soldiers but also of securing the district of Imam Sahib, a volatile mix of insurgent enclaves and peaceful farming villages along the Tajikistan border.

Frequent ambushes Imam Sahib is the northernmost district of Kunduz province, an ethnically diverse region of rice paddies and cotton and wheat fields. Once considered secure, the province has seen a sharp rise in insurgent violence and intimidation since 2008.

Soon after arriving in March, battalion commanders discovered that a third or more of the province was controlled by insurgent groups, a mix of Taliban supporters, criminal gangs and radical separatists from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. By summer, U.S. units were being ambushed almost every time they crossed the invisible borders into those contested areas, including in Imam Sahib.

As the commanding officer of Alpha Company, First Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, Army Capt. Adrian Bonenberger, 33, above, was in charge of ensuring the safety of 150 soldiers while securing the district of Imam Sahib, a volatile area along Afghanistan’s border with Tajikistan. At left, members of an Alpha Company patrol duck for cover as a rocket-propelled grenade sails over their heads in Naghma Bazaar, Kunduz Province, in September.

a series of fierce firefights in July just a few miles east of Imam Sahib city, the district’s government center. The next month, a car packed with mortar shells exploded near a convoy of U.S. and Afghan trucks in the village of Qurghan Tapa, killing eight Afghan police officers and militiamen and wounding two U.S. soldiers.

The bombing was devastating to the local police, who lost several top officers. But it was also wrenching for Bonenberger, who had taken command of Alpha Company just weeks before.

In the following days, the company battled insurgents around Qurghan Tapa, and the experience cemented his resolve to control the nearby hill.

“It’s all related for me,” he said in early September. “It all started with that suicide bombing.”

Renewed concerns Early on the morning of Sept.

17, Sgt. 1st Class Dean Lee huddled with members of Alpha Company’s Third Platoon inside the walled district police headquarters in Imam Sahib city.

Lee, a 36-year-old from Buffalo on his third combat deployment, took seriously his role as the platoon’s father figure, prowling the compound in his Red Sox cap looking for unfinished work and undisciplined soldiers. He has three daughters and is an evangel-

“Bottom line was, there wasn’t any system that I had that was going to increase our chances of having an effective clearance of that hill.”

— Army Capt. Adrian Bonenberger, looking back on a mission in Afghanistan that resulted in casualties among his men ical Christian, but he can also tell a raunchy story and defuse tense moments with a joke.

This day he urged the soldiers to be on the lookout for antipersonnel mines. Then he said a prayer and sent them to their trucks.

“Make sure your boots are tied,” he quipped, reminding them that an officer recently lost an unlaced boot in the mud of a rice paddy.

An explosives team from the Navy attached to the battalion had assured him, he said, that they could find just about any antipersonnel mine buried in the hill.

The mission went forward.

Waving his mine detector in front of him, Petty Officer 1st Class John Kremer, 27, of the Navy led Third Platoon up a narrow path along the edge of the hill.

A boom broke the afternoon quiet, and suddenly Kremer was on the ground, seriously wounded. When soldiers learned that the minesweeper himself was down, a sickening realization set in: They might be surrounded by hidden explosives that the detectors could not sense because they were made

of plastic.

Lee’s first instinct was to rush toward the wounded man. But he knew there were probably other mines nearby, so he stopped 10 yards short, holding back a young medic, Spc. Donovan Lovelace, who was also racing to the petty officer.

Within minutes, two other medics reached the scene, rapidly applying tourniquets to both of the sailor’s legs and giving him morphine before carrying him by stretcher down the hill, walking slowly behind the second minesweeper. A Blackhawk helicopter swooped in and took the sailor away, leaving an eerie silence in its wake.

Near the middle of the hill, Bonenberger was on the radio explaining the situation to battalion headquarters while a platoon leader began ordering the remaining soldiers off the hill. At the top, Spc. Matthew Hayes shouldered his M240 machine gun and began stepping gingerly from his trench.

But when he shifted the weight of his 28-pound weapon, a mine

detonated beneath his feet. Hayes would later recall waking up on his back several feet from where he had stepped on the mine.

A few yards away, Lovelace could see Hayes on the ground, his face taut with pain. Just a few minutes before, the medic had been sitting beside the gunner, his best friend in the unit, trying to collect himself after the first mine explosion. Now their eyes met and Hayes called to him: “Doc!” For the second time in an hour, the medics stepped carefully in footprints to reach a wounded man.

At the bottom of the hill, Lovelace tapped the wounded soldier on the shoulder, bent to his ear and said over the roar of an incoming helicopter, “Drinks on me when we get back.” Hayes touched his friend on the cheek.

And then he was gone, the chopper taking off in a hail of gunfire from insurgents a quarter-mile away.

Back into the fray Third Platoon met for a group counseling session two days later with the battalion chaplain and a mental health counselor. Specialist Alan Bakula, a decorated young soldier who was injured in the elbow and face by the mine that Hayes hit, told the group he was “never so scared in my life” as when they withdrew from the hill,

calling it “the longest walk of my life.”

Staff Sgt. Robert Kennedy, Hayes’ squad leader who was also injured by shrapnel from the blast, described the helplessness all the soldiers felt when facing mines they could not fight.

“You’re thinking you could have done more,” he said to the soldiers.

“Thinking that is good. But doing enough is good, too.”

Bonenberger threw the company into new missions, telling his platoon leaders that work would help the soldiers get past the casualties. Within a week, Third Platoon was back patrolling near the base of Qurghan Tapa hill while First Platoon visited a village where U.S. troops had not been before.

New frustrations Doctors amputated both of Kremer’s legs in the days after he was injured on Qurghan Tapa hill. He was eventually flown to San Diego, where he lives with his wife and daughter, who was born just weeks before the minefield incident. He has re-enlisted, saying he wants to rejoin his explosives disposal team after he finishes rehabilitation.

Hayes lost his right leg and headed to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington.

He says he will probably leave the Army when his rehabilitation is over next year. His wife and 20month-old daughter have joined him in an apartment on the hospital’s campus.

Throughout the fall, Bonenberger immersed himself in missions. Some yielded successes: An insurgent commander changed sides, villagers near Naghma Bazaar formed militias allied with the government, and Third Platoon killed a Taliban leader in its fiercest firefight of the year.

But there were also new frustrations: A major mission in Imam Sahib was canceled just hours before it was to start, this time because the battalion’s resources were needed elsewhere.

“For now, it’s jabs,” Bonenberger said of the smaller-scale missions he was conducting instead.

He had again reviewed his preparations for the Qurghan Tapa hill operation and concluded that he had done all he could to avoid casualties.

“Bottom line was, there wasn’t any system that I had that was going to increase our chances of having an effective clearance of that hill,” he said.

Loads of food for the needy

Outstanding loans

Continued from A1 It will also add a gravel staff parking lot and a lunchroom because corrections deputies must remain on the premises during breaks, and the number of jail employees has roughly doubled since the facility opened, Blanton said. The dry food storage area in the kitchen also will be expanded to make more room for items purchased in bulk.

However, Blanton said he is waiting to see what contractors bid on these projects before he decides whether to complete them all this year. He could also delay some remodeling until the next budget year.

Saving for emergencies

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Deschutes County Sheriff Larry Blanton, left, and Capt. Mark Mills unload boxes of apple pies Monday at The Riverhouse in Bend as they prepare to distribute food to the needy. The Riverhouse and the Sheriff’s Office teamed up for the eighth year to provide holiday food baskets totalling more than 6,000 pounds of food to 2,400 people in the Bend-La Pine area.

Deputy DAs Continued from A1 There were 16 deputy district attorneys when the union was approved.

Flaherty declined to comment on the notifications.

In the letter, the union’s Eugene-based attorney, Becky Gallagher, wrote that the county did not hold up its end of the bargain when it delayed a decision on the contract.

“As you are well aware, when

the Association and County entered into the (proposed agreement) this was with the understanding that there would be a vote by both parties prior to Dec. 31, 2010,” she wrote.

That date was not written in the contract, but Gallagher said the two sides had a verbal agreement and discussed the date in e-mails.

Bell said it was clear that the union wanted the vote by the end of the year, but doesn’t believe it was a mandatory part of the deal.

“For the association’s attorney to claim it was in bad faith for the commissioners to halt the process, I just think it’s baseless,” he said. “(Commissioners) made the reason clear. They wanted to see what Mr. Flaherty had to say about the process.”

Under state law, the two sides have 150 days — until February — to reach an agreement. If they reach an impasse, an arbitrator will be asked to consider proposals from both sides and select one.

The proposed contract does

not include any guarantees of wage or benefit increases for the county’s deputy district attorneys. But if negotiations are reopened, Gallagher said the union intends to put those issues back on the table.

Bell said the commission could opt to take up the issue before the end of the year. If that doesn’t happen, the commission is scheduled to vote on Jan. 12.

Erin Golden can be reached at 541-617-7837 or at egolden@bendbulletin.com.

Money for the loan came from the permanent countywide tax rate, which voters approved in 2006 to pay for Sheriff’s Office services for all cities and unincorporated areas of the county.

Among the items to be paid for with the tax were jail staffing and operations, courthouse security, prisoner transports, disaster planning, search and rescue and concealed weapons permits, according to the ballot title.

The $1.06 million savings account the sheriff will draw on for the loan was built up using tax revenue to cover unanticipated expenses, such as unexpected staff overtime due to a court case or emergency building maintenance.

“In terms of the tax rates, people expect you to save money,” Blanton said, adding that the Sheriff’s Office has worked to accumulate the nest egg for several years. “Taxpayers expect just like at home, you save for a rainy day, like when you have to buy a dishwasher.”

Blanton cut the same countywide tax rate used to build up the savings fund by 3 cents in July, taking it from 95 cents to 92 cents per $1,000 of assessed value.

Yet Blanton said he might have to raise taxes in the future, if the county does not sell property to repay the loan.

“If I use all my contingency for these needed projects, it is possible I would have to consider looking at the tax rate for building the (savings fund) back,” Blanton said. “The plan is to pay the (savings fund) back by selling unused lands, so I don’t have to increase the tax rate.”

County officials made two large internal loans in 2008, drawn from a savings account intended to pay for future landfill expansions and closures. The money the county borrowed came from fees that residents and garbage haulers pay to bring waste into Knott Landfill.

The county loaned the Redmond Humane Society nearly $1.4 million to pay off mortgages and other bills, and the society has so far paid back approximately $600,000.

The county took another $3.1 million loan from the landfill savings fund, to pay for preliminary work for a county jail expansion. Both loans are supposed to be repaid by selling real estate.

On Monday, County Commissioner Alan Unger said he approves of the plan to sell real estate to pay for projects, because it uses one capital asset to improve another. “By improving the asset, the jail, we are now able to operate it more efficiently,” Unger said.

Commissioner Dennis Luke also said he supports the plan to loan county funds, backed by future land sales. “Real estate here in the long run will come back, there’s no question,” Luke said.

Commissioner Tammy Baney, who voted with the other two commissioners to loan the Sheriff’s Office money for the remodeling project, nonetheless said she does not believe repaying it with real estate is a sound plan. “I don’t know when the market would turn around to a level where we would want to part with a county asset, which is owned by all of Deschutes County,” Baney said.

In the end, it may make sense not to sell real estate to repay the loan and to use a combination of the sheriff’s savings funds and other sources to pay for the jail project, Baney said.

Deschutes County currently owns about 9,000 acres of property categorized as “asset land,” county Property & Facilities Director Susan Ross wrote in an email. This includes county facilities, parkland and properties the county is holding to sell or use for another purpose in the future. The county does not have a current market value for the properties.

“It might seem like we have a lot of property, but once you start drilling down to what is actually available, there’s not really that much,” Ross wrote.

“After three or four months of Deschutes County unemployment numbers being better than a year ago, the November numbers are worse than a year ago, which is disheartening,” said Carolyn Eagan, regional economist with the Oregon Employment Department.

Crook County’s unemployment rate rose to 19.2 percent, up from 18.4 percent in October; followed

Gas sales at some service stations across Central and Eastern Oregon have been flat for more than two years due to the depressed economy, but fuel sales have steadily risen at the Stop and Go Shell station on Bend’s east side — something owner Kent Couch attributes to what he calls the “wow factor” of old-fashioned service.

“When I bought the gas station in 1997, I didn’t know anything about the fuel business, but I knew from my prior experience managing grocery stores that customer service is the key to success, so the first thing I did was reinstate

In California, where foreclosures are more abundant than in any other state, homeowners trying to win a loan modification have always had a tough time.

Now they face yet another obstacle: hiring a lawyer.

Sharon Bell, a retiree who lives in Laguna Niguel, southeast of Los Angeles, needs a modification to keep her home. She says she is scared of her bank and its plentiful resources, so much so that she cannot even open its certified letters inquiring where her mortgage payments are. Yet the half-dozen lawyers she has called have refused to represent her.

“They said they couldn’t help,” said Bell, 63. “But I’ve got to find help, because I’m dying every day.”

Lawyers throughout California say they have no choice but to reject clients like Bell because of a new state law that sharply restricts how they can be paid.

SAN FRANCISCO — Federal investigators have been gathering information about Mark Hurd’s sudden departure from Hewlett-Packard, the latest twist in a five-month story that has put the company in the middle of Silicon Valley’s version of a soap opera.

Officials with the Securities and Exchange Commission have started a preliminary investigation that centers on Hurd’s surprise resignation from HP in August, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who asked for anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. The exact nature of the investigation remains unclear, this person said.

LOS ANGELES — November and December have been good for online retailers. Holiday shoppers spent 12 percent more than they did during the 2009 season, according to research firm ComScore.

Over the 47-day period ending Dec. 17, buyers dropped $27.5 billion online — $5.2 billion of it last week.

Four of those days brought in a haul that surpassed $900 million, making it the heaviest week of online spending in U.S. history.

NEW YORK — The extension of current income-tax rates gives wealthy taxpayers the equivalent of an interest-free loan if they convert a regular Individual Retirement Account to a Roth by Dec. 31.

Investors in traditional IRAs pay taxes up front on conversions to Roth IRAs to get tax-free withdrawals later. Earners in the highest tax brackets who expected rates to rise next year were faced with reporting all the ad-

ditional income from conversions on their 2010 returns. With the tax legislation, wealthy savers can now defer and use those tax dollars to earn something, according to Christine Fahlund, a senior financial planner at Baltimore-based T. Rowe Price.

“It’s the deal of the century,” said Ed Slott, a certified public accountant in Rockville Centre, New York, and founder of website irahelp.com.

“It’s like Congress is giving you an interest-free loan to build a tax-free savings account.”

This year taxpayers can choose to report the taxable income from the conversion in 2010, or split it equally between 2011 and 2012. Federal income-tax rates were set to rise in 2011 to as high as 39.6 percent, up from 35 percent, when tax cuts instituted by President George W. Bush expired. The Senate passed an $858 billion tax-cut plan Dec. 15 that would keep existing tax rates through 2012. The House voted 277148 for final passage.

Gift cards long have been heralded as the savior of last-minute shoppers during the holiday season.

Now, they also are coming to the rescue of the procrastinating philanthropist.

The newest version of the gift card allows recipients to donate the money on the card to a nonprofit group of their choice. These so-called charitable gift cards are issued by nonprofit organizations such as GlobalGiving and TisBest that vet the charities to ensure they are legitimate. The groups estimate that they have raised millions of dollars for causes ranging from teaching entrepreneurship to women in India to promoting humane farming.

LEADERSHIP SKILLS SERIES:

Continued from B1 Those numbers are far worse than the 10.6 percent statewide November unemployment rate, Eagan said.

For the tri-county region, Eagan said the November increases are even more discouraging when compared with a year ago, when unemployment was reported at 17.4 percent in Crook County, 14.2 percent in Jefferson County and 14.7 percent in Deschutes County.

Crook and Jefferson counties each had 170 fewer jobs, compared with November 2009.

Eagan attributed the higher unemployment compared with a year ago partly to the end of federal census jobs and government stimulus funding, which bolstered employment in November 2009.

In Deschutes County, the loss of 430 private-sector jobs reported for November was offset by a gain of 450 public-sector jobs, mostly in local government education, for a net gain of 20 jobs. However, Eagan said the county’s unemployment rate climbed because the 20-job gain was not enough to absorb all of the new workers entering the work force, including people graduating from high school and college.

“We are seeing this gradual growth in the civilian labor force, but the economy is not growing fast enough to keep up with the increased demand for jobs,” Eagan said.

Continued from B1 Under the measure, passed overwhelmingly by the State Legislature and backed by the state bar association, lawyers who work on loan modifications cannot receive any money until the work is complete. The bar association says that under the law, clients cannot put retainers in trust accounts.

The law, which has few parallels in other states, was devised to eliminate swindles in which modification firms made promises about what their lawyers could do, charged hefty fees and then disappeared.

But foreclosure specialists say there has been an unintended consequence: The honest lawyers can no longer afford to assist Bell and all the others who feel helpless before lenders that they see as elusive, unyielding and skilled at losing paperwork.

Consumer confusion The revelations three months ago that large banks were sloppy and negligent in preparing foreclosure documents underscore just how important it is for distressed homeowners to have representation, lawyers and consumer advocates say.

Homeowners whose cases were handled improperly have little way of knowing it. Even if they found out, they would be hard-pressed to challenge a lender without a lawyer.

“Consumers just don’t know what is going on,” said Walter Hackett, a former banker who is now a lawyer for a nonprofit

Following what she called a summer of hope — when unemployment numbers were relatively flat — Eagan said the November surge “is not what I wanted to see.”

On the positive side, Eagan said retail employment in Deschutes County surged by 210 in November, which nearly equaled the 220 gain in retail hiring for the 2009 holiday season, and far exceeded the small increase of 48 retail jobs reported in November 2008, during the height of the recession.

Holiday job increases in Deschutes County were offset by job losses typical for this time of year in the tourism, accommodation and food services sectors, as

well as losses in professional and business services, Eagan said.

Crook County gained 10 jobs in retail, plus 10 in transportation, warehousing and utilities, but lost 40 construction jobs, 20 leisure and hospitality jobs and 10 government jobs from October to November, according to the report.

Jefferson County gained 20 manufacturing jobs and added 10 retail jobs, but lost 50 leisure and hospitality jobs, 20 financial activity jobs and 10 wholesale trade jobs during the same period, according to the report.

service in Riverside. “They get a piece of paper saying they are going to lose their homes and they freak out.”

The problem for lawyers is that even a simple modification, in which the loan is restructured so the borrower can afford the monthly payments, is a marathon, putting off their payday for months if not years.

If the bank refuses to come to terms, the client may file for bankruptcy. Then the lawyer will never be paid.

“A homeowner in California is going to have an extraordinarily difficult time finding an attorney,” Hackett said.

That group includes Bell, who owned two properties free and clear and then gave in to a friend’s urging to “put your money to work.” That friend was an agent, and soon Bell owned two more properties and was making unsecured loans.

The loans went bad and the investments went bust. Now, Bell is trying to salvage her home. She wants an advocate but is reluctant to respond to any of the solicitations that fill her mailbox.

“I know better,” she said.

plaints, and a task force was formed to deal with the problem.

Soon, there were thousands of complaints.

It was a public relations disaster. The president of the bar association wrote in a column last year that “hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of California lawyers” were victimizing people “at the most vulnerable point in their lives.”

Politicians heard complaints, too. Ron Calderon, a state senator who represents several communities east of Los Angeles, sponsored a bill that prohibits advance payments for modifications and required lawyers to warn clients that they could do the job themselves without professional assistance. Lenders were supportive of the bill, Calderon said.

It passed 36-4 in September 2009. The maximum punishment is a $10,000 fine and a year in jail.

The law is working well, Calderon said. “You do not need a lawyer,” he said.

Fighting fraud Many people did not. Defaulting owners saw television commercials or heard radio ads where a lawyer promised relief. They handed over a few thousand dollars and heard no more.

Two years ago, the state bar association had seven complaints of misconduct in loan modifications. By March 2009, there were more than 100 com-

DETROIT — Toyota agreed Monday to pay two more fines, totaling $32.4 million, for failing to swiftly recall millions of defective vehicles, the Transportation Department said.

The fines are the maximum allowed by law and are in addition to the $16.4 million Toyota paid earlier this year in a related matter.

The new fines are the result of two separate investigations: one into the recall of nearly 5 million vehicles with accelerator pedals that could become trapped under the floor mat and a second involving a 2005 recall to fix steering relay rods that could crack or break in some models. Toyota waited a year after initiating a recall on the relay rods in Japan before conceding that models in the United States also were affected.

“I am pleased that Toyota agreed to pay the maximum possible penalty and I expect Toyota to work cooperatively in the future to ensure consumers’ safety,” the transportation secretary, Ray LaHood, said in a statement.

to miss mortgage payments. The drugs he was taking left him “a little confused,” he said.

Stone knew that his condition put him at a disadvantage in negotiations with his bank. So he hired Gregory Royston, a real estate lawyer in Redondo Beach.

It took Royston nearly a year, but he restructured the loan.

Without the lawyer, Stone said, “I’d be living under a bridge.”

The legal bill, paid in advance, was $3,500.

“Worth every penny,” said Stone, who is now back at work.

Royston said winning modifications was never easy and often impossible.

“The banks stymie the borrower, and they really stymie any third party who works on behalf of the borrower,” he said.

A spokesman for the Mortgage Bankers Association said it simply wants to protect homeowners from fraud.

“Be very careful about anyone who wants you to pay them to help you get a loan modification,” said the spokesman, John Mechem.

That advice has never been more true. If any honest lawyers still do modifications, they are lost in a sea of swindles.

“This law,” Royston said, “took the wrong people out of the game.”

T F With high-tech assistance, cameras see in new ways

By Anne Eisenberg New York Times News Service

Anyone who has witnessed the megapixel one-upmanship in camera ads might think that computer chips run the show in digital photography.

That’s not true. In most cameras, lenses still form the basic image. Computers have only a toehold, controlling megapixel detectors and features like the shutter. But in research labs, the new discipline of computational photography is gaining ground, taking over jobs that were once the province of lenses.

In the future, the technology of computational photography may guide rescue robots, or endoscopes that need to peer around artery blockages. In camera phones, the technology can already merge two exposures of the same image. One day, it could even change the focus of a picture you’ve already taken.

At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one experimental camera has no lens at all: It uses reflected light, computer processing and other tools to see around corners.

Ramesh Raskar, leader of the Camera Culture research group at MIT, aims his camera and an ultrafast laser attachment at a door half-open into a model room containing simple objects. The laser — the equivalent of a flash — fires pulses shorter than a trillionth of a second. Light bounces off the door, scatters into the room, hits the objects within and then bounces back to the detector. Raskar traces those bouncing echoes of light photon by photon, based on when and where they land.

From the reflected light, as well as the room’s geometry and mathematical modeling, he deduces the structure of the hidden objects. “If you modify your camera and add sophisticated processing,” he said, “the camera can look around objects and see what’s beyond.”

Steven Seitz, a professor in the department of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle, says Raskar’s technology will have to surmount tough obstacles to go beyond the laboratory. “He’s demonstrated that it can work, but the big questions are when and how it can be deployed,” Seitz said.

‘A new kind of picture’ Shree Nayar, chairman of the computer science department at Columbia University, does research that includes computational photography. “The data megapixel sensors gather is just an intermediate step on the way to a picture,” he said. “We are interested in how you design a camera that goes hand in hand with computation to create a new

Marc Levoy, a professor of computer science and electrical engineering at Stanford, has helped create several programmable cameras, including the “Frankencamera,” right. The cameras have computational photography apps that can blend frames together or tell a user how to repeat a composition.

kind of picture.”

Many images produced by computational photography are seen mainly in research — for example, in shots where the focus has been changed after the fact.

But inexpensive applications for ordinary camera phones are also starting to appear, said Marc Levoy, a professor of computer science and electrical engineering at Stanford.

“A year ago this wasn’t happening,” he said. “But the industry is beginning to think that if the megapixel war is over, computational photography may be the next battleground.”

For example, consumers can buy apps for high dynamic range, or HDR, a common technique in computational photography, said Fredo Durand, an associate professor at MIT who collaborates with Levoy. True HDR (99 cents)

Google unveils a new tool for searching digitized library

By Abby Sewell Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Search-engine giant Google has a new tool for exploring 5.2 million books it has digitized, and not just in English but also Chinese, French, German, Russian and Spanish.

But unlike its Web search function, this tool, called the Ngram Viewer, goes through the 500 billion words in those books to show trends in word usage. It can determine how often words or phrases show up in a given year.

Using the viewer, historians, language experts or anyone with a home computer can track items as seemingly trivial, for example, as when “hep cat” entered the popular lexicon, or when writers generally stopped using the

I am Dr. David Herrin, DC. I run the only Non-Surgical Decompression Center of its kind in Central Oregon.

I see people reduce pain medications, avoid surgery, and get their life back -- every day... and all that without surgery. Yes, you heard me right. I specialize in disc degeneration, herniated discs, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica.

phrase “dying of consumption.”

Historians can determine which of three former presidents — Abraham Lincoln, George Washington or Thomas Jefferson — made the most appearances in print in a given decade.

(Washington surpassed Lincoln sometime around 1928 and has remained in the lead ever since.)

The tool, which is free to use, does not have access at this time to all the 15 million books Google has digitized since 2004.

“We hope the Google Books Ngram Viewer will spark some new hypotheses ripe for in-depth investigation, and invite casual exploration at the same time,” Google Books engineering manager Jon Orwant said on the company’s blog.

and Pro HDR ($1.99), both sold at iTunes, can combine photos shot at different exposures — one in deep shadow, the other overexposed, merging them for a dynamic range that normally can’t be attained in a single shot.

Opening cameras up Durand said he would like to write his own computational photography apps for conventional cameras. But he can’t, because the camera’s workings are typically closed to amateur photographers.

What feats could computation perform if consumer cameras were opened to programmers? To demonstrate, Levoy and his colleagues have created a gallery of programmable cameras.

Using spare parts, the team assembled a prototype for a portable camera, dubbed Frankencamera,

now in its third version, that runs on Linux, the open operating system. Programmers can play with the chips inside the camera that record and process images.

There’s a cell phone Frankencamera, too. With the support of Nokia, the group has opened up the Nokia N900 smart phone, writing software to give programmers more control of its components. Details of the Frankencamera work, including the software for the Nokia, are available free at the Stanford group’s website.

Levoy and his group have also written applications showing off the Frankencameras’ abilities.

The Rephotography app, for instance, lets users take a photo in the exact spot where an earlier one was shot. “The camera guides you step by step, so that you mathematically find the exact same viewpoint,” said Durand, who with colleagues created the original app.

Soon, many students may be learning about computational photography. Levoy has received a grant from the National Science Foundation for a course to introduce it to graduate students at American universities. He and his team are preparing materials; each packet will include lectures, one or two of the Frankencameras and a dozen or so of the adapted N900s.

Seitz in Seattle says he hopes the Frankencamera project will succeed.

“Once camera technology is opened up so that anyone can program,” he said, “the promise of computational photography will start to pay off.”

Here is the “conventional” procedure for back pain patients. “Take these drugs and get some rest. Let’s see what happens in a month.” When that doesn’t work there’s always the option of getting a needle filled with steroids placed directly into your back. Down the road when it’s finally bad enough you may need surgery. This might seem like a good plan for some. I work with those who want to get their old life back without going under the knife.

If you have fallen for that trap and are in desperate need of relief of back pain, you should read on.

Forgive Me For Expressing My Opinion About Surgery -- I Hated

To See My Grandma Suffer How many surgeries does it take to get it right? Two, three, four ... my sweet Grandma had seven before it was a success. Talk about suffering. Maybe you see why I believe surgery should be a last resort. Do you have that kind of time?

I have a better solution. People in my office get out of pain fast, and can be back doing the things they love while they are being treated.

And you don’t have to feel like you are a drug addict to feel good.

The New Solution -- Fast And Long-Lasting Relief We have a non-surgical, non-drug solution. And it’s fast and effective.

It’s called non-surgical spinal decompression. Let me give you the low down on this groundbreaking technology.

This is a computerized decompression machine that stretches the spine in a unique way.

It creates negative pressure deep in the diseased disc. The negative pressure acts like a vacuum that pulls the disc material away from the spinal cord and spinal nerves.

Eliminating pain and symptoms.

And at the same time the negative pressure pulls nutrients, water and oxygen into the disc. You see with disc diseases, the disc is actually sick! It’s dehydrated. And shrinking.

That is how many of our patients regain their life.

Do Any Of These Case Studies Sound Familiar To You? Case #125. Darlene D. After her surgery she was left in some serious pain. This pain lasted 32 years. She came in to us and in three weeks she was out of pain. In five weeks she was on her roof working with her husband.

Do you see what we can do for you?

We are offering a solution to your pain. To get your life back, FAST! Case #89. Bruce F. After a traumatic car accident, Bruce was left in pain.

He went here and there but didn’t find relief. So he came to see us.

The treatments were painless. He got out of pain. He now runs, walks the beach, and plays with his kid.

All without pain.

Does your current therapy offer you this kind of relief? What are you waiting for?

Case #320. John M.’s MRI said, “Annular Tear,” Ouch! His episodes of pain put him on his back for two weeks every couple months. He began treatment and his pain decreased almost immediately. Over the course of treatment his back felt stronger and more flexible. No episodes to this day.

Do you want to improve the quality of your life? Are your current therapies doing that for you?

Case #25. Kevin. Headaches every day of his life since an accident.

Headaches gone after first treatment.

Peace could be defined as finding a solution to a problem that has you feeling completely crazy. Imagine how Kevin must have felt, and how he feels now!

You don’t need a referral to see me.

In fact, I want all to come and see me. You are invited to be evaluated by me. I will cover the cost. There is a catch -- you have to qualify. You see, I will not take anyone. I will only treat those I can help.

Don’t Delay Your Pain Relief Come And See If You’re A Good Candidate To Eliminate Your Pain This examination typically costs $245. Right now you can get it for free. That is -- if you qualify. Call now to see if you qualify for this exclusive evaluation.

It is a great opportunity to be evaluated by a spinal expert.

It’s A Free Consultation This is what you will discover during your free consultation... ? Why you’re in so much pain? ... You’ll actually get a diagnosis that makes sense. ? How long it will take to get you better? ... It’s less time than you think.

“It was all over the news,” Couch said, rattling off CNN, Fox News, “Good Morning America,” “Inside Edition” and “The Tonight

IRA Continued from B1 That means a taxpayer in the top income bracket with an IRA worth $1.2 million would likely pay 35 percent or $420,000 in federal taxes when converting the entire account to a Roth IRA this year, according to Fahlund.

They would have paid $475,200 if income tax rates had increased in 2011 to 39.6 percent, or $55,200 more in taxes.

Conversions work best for savers who know they’re going to be in as high or higher tax brackets in the future, and can pay the taxes with money from outside

“I got the idea from watching a segment of ‘MythBusters’ on TV. They proved it could be done.

The balloons lifted a guy up into the air, but they kept it (the lawn chair) tied down, so it only rose about 60 feet.

“I couldn’t believe they’d go to all that trouble and not let him go,” said Couch, 50.. “I did it partly as a promotional stunt and partly to prove I could actually take off and fly.”

He controlled his altitude with low-tech methods. When he wanted to descend, he used a BB gun to pop balloons. If he descended too quickly, he released some of the 4-pound bags of water tied to the chair.

Once, when he was experimenting with helium balloon flight in 2006, Couch said he had to bail out with a parachute because some of the balloons spontaneously popped at around 14,000 feet. He didn’t have enough water bags to compensate for the loss of lift and his lawn chair plunged toward the ground.

At his service station, Couch offers the usual soda, coffee and snack foods. He also added a Baldy’s BBQ restaurant, which features the same barbecued beef, pork and chicken sandwiches and other popular menu items served at the original Baldy’s in west Bend.

“I went looking for a type of food that wasn’t available in this part of town,” Couch said.

“I always enjoyed the food at Baldy’s and it’s always packed, so I thought that would be a good choice.”

Couch said he obtained a partial ownership in the Baldy’s in his gas station, but not in the one in west Bend.

To attract and keep good employees willing to meet his customer service expectations, Couch said he pays more than minimum wage and gives bonuses to employees who meet or exceed the company’s service standards with secret shoppers.

“We pay between $9 and $11 per hour for gas attendants, and they can earn an extra $25 to $50 each time they get a good score from a secret shopper,” Couch said.

Jazzwinder Alvarez, 21, said he enjoys wearing the uniform and working at the station.

“I’ve been working here 4½ years. It is a really fun place. You get to meet a lot of people, and everyone is really friendly,” said Alvarez, who is a student in Central Oregon Community College’s automotive technician program.

He said it’s not unusual for customers to tip attendants, which can add $10 to $20 to daily pay during the summer tourist season.

Couch was 13 when he landed his first job in 1976 as a box boy at Safeway in Pendleton, and by 18 he graduated to assistant store manager positions in Burns, then Hood River and Hermiston, before rising to manager of the Redmond Safeway in 1991.

When Safeway tried to transfer him to a larger store out of state in 1994, Couch said he quit rather than uproot his family, including five children in Redmond-area schools. That decision eventu-

the IRA, said James Lange, a Pittsburgh-based certified public accountant and author of “The Roth Revolution: Pay Taxes Once and Never Again.”

Deferring the income from conversions made this year makes sense for most taxpayers who will be in the same or lower tax brackets in 2011 and 2012, said Slott, the accountant.

The Internal Revenue Service lifted income restrictions this year on converting to Roth IRAs from traditional IRAs, meaning taxpayers making more than $100,000 a year in adjusted income can make the change.

There’s no cap on the amount that can be converted to a Roth

IRA from a traditional IRA. It’s too early to know whether taxpayers are electing to report the income on 2010 conversions on their 2010 returns or wait until 2011 and 2012. They have until April 15, 2011, plus any extensions to decide, said Fahlund of T. Rowe. The firm saw more than a fourfold increase in the number of investors converting in 2010 through November compared with a year earlier, she said.

The taxes owed on switching to a Roth IRA from a regular IRA depend on whether the assets being transferred are pre- or posttax dollars. If tax-free dollars are included, converters will pay

ally led Couch to take an entrepreneurial leap and purchase the gas station.

“Even before I left Safeway I had a strong desire to own a business of my own,” Couch said.

While he searched for the right opportunity, Couch managed the Thriftway grocery store in Prineville from 1994 until 1997.

During the 13 years he has owned and operated the Stop and Go Shell, each of Couch’s five children has worked there, including his son, Kizer, who started working at 13 and is now 26 and part owner and manager.

Q: A:

How did your employees respond to being ordered to wear uniforms?

We pretty well lost all of the fuel attendants that were working for us at the time (in 1997). They wouldn’t wear the uniforms.

Q: A:

Have employees’ attitudes about the uniforms changed over time?

Everyone who applies for a job is apprised of the requirements. What we discovered is that the people who are willing to wear the uniforms and deliver extraordinary customer service turn out to be much better at their jobs.

Q: A:

years (including five years before Couch bought the business).

Gift cards

Q: A:

Continued from B1 “We just saw that it didn’t make any sense that you would walk into Safeway or go shopping on Barnesandnoble. com and you could give a gift card,” said Donna Callejon, chief business officer for GlobalGiving, based in Washington. “Why didn’t that concept translate into the charitable sector?”

GlobalGiving began issuing the cards four years ago, just as gift cards began exploding in popularity. Online sales are up about 23 percent from a year ago, Callejon said, and the group has sold about 26,000 cards this year. Another service, CharityChoice, recently began allowing users to send gift cards for donations as small as $2 through Facebook.

Brent Watters, an analyst with financial services research firm Mercator, said the charitable gift card sector remains too small to track. But nonprofit groups say there is growing interest in the trend, and some sales have risen despite — or perhaps because of — the tough economy.

Overall, charitable donations to the nation’s largest nonprofit groups plummeted during the recession. According to an analysis by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, contributions declined a record 11 percent in 2009, the largest drop in the two decades since the annual survey was launched. This year, donations were expected to recover by just more than 1 percent.

Still, some groups said they found a silver lining in the downturn: Faced with tighter budgets, many holiday shoppers are re-evaluating their spending.

“We see a lot of people looking at the difficult economic times and saying, ‘Rather than just giving my grandchildren another thing, I’m going to encourage them to do something good in the world,’ ” Callejon said.

Describe your typical gas station attendant.

Most of my gas attendants are high school or college students who work part-time hours during the school year and longer hours during the summer, when the station is really hopping with tourists.

Q: A:

What reaction do you get from tourists?

Since Oregon is one of only two states (New Jersey is the other) in the nation that don’t allow people to pump their own gas, most out-of-state travelers have never seen anything like the uniforms and old-fashioned service we provide. We’ve become a destination gas station.

People drive out of their way to stop here. For example, a woman from Colorado stopped in the other day who said she heard about the uniforms and old-fashioned service from her cousin, who stopped here on vacation last summer.

Q: A:

How many times have you flown in your lawn chair tied to helium balloons?

I’ve done it four times. The last time was in August, and 1,000 people showed up at the station to watch me take off.

I took it up to 18,000 feet, after someone else was in the news for reaching 17,000 feet.

Do you have many longtime employees?

The average tenure is four to nine years. We have one gas attendant who has been with us nine years because he likes the work, and one of our inside sales people has been here 18

income-tax rates on a percentage of the conversion amount, said Slott, the accountant.

Savers who expect to be in a lower tax bracket in 2010 than in 2011 or 2012 shouldn’t defer the income from the conversion, said David First, a tax partner at accounting and advisory firm Marcum in New York. And those who are going to be affected by the alternative minimum tax in 2010 and not in 2011 and 2012 may also want to report the income in 2010, First said.

When converting to a Roth IRA, savers should try to avoid converting so much in one year that it bumps them into a higher tax bracket, said Fahlund of T.

Rowe. One option is to do partial conversions so the income is smaller, she said.

Investors who later change their minds about a Roth IRA have until October 2011 to undo the switch. Savers may also want to set up more than one Roth IRA to invest separately in stocks and bonds so they can undo a particular portion of the conversion if an asset class performs poorly, said Drossman of U.S. Trust.

For savers age 70½ and over, the tax bill includes a provision that allows them to give up to $100,000 from a traditional IRA directly to charity without incurring taxes.

Sawyers get more time to prepare for fraud trial

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

The federal trial for the Bend couple charged with money laundering, bank fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and false statement to a financial institution has been pushed back to March.

Former Bend Police Capt.

Kevin Sawyer and his wife, real estate broker Tami Sawyer, were arraigned in November on 15 charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bank fraud and false statement to a financial institution; Tami Sawyer is also charged with six counts of money laundering and Kevin Sawyer is charged in two of those counts.

After a status hearing at the Wayne L. Morse Courthouse in Eugene on Monday, Paul Bruch, a clerk for Judge Thomas Coffin, said the couple’s trial is now scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. on March 29.

The trial was originally slated to begin Jan. 11.

Man will get life in killing of Bend mother Michael Sain pleads guilty to murder of Roberta Jones

By Leon Pantenburg Thanks to the generosity of many people, South Central Oregon Outreach and Toy Run, known as SCOOTR, will be able to bring toys, food and clothing this holiday season to every child who applies for help.

For the past 12 years, needy kids in South Deschutes County have had a SPIRIT better ChristOF THE mas, thanks to SCOOTR, SEASON a nonprofit group based in La Pine. The group raises funds at several events throughout the year, all aimed at raising enough money to pay for the annual Christmas event.

But at the beginning of December, SCOOTR members were wondering where the money would come from to take care of all the Christmas wishes.

A projected $5,000 shortfall in fundraising was forcing members to budget what could be spent on each of the approximately 550 children who signed up for assistance.

After a story about the nonprofit’s plight was published in the Dec. 6 edition of The Bulletin, the money started coming in, says SCOOTR secretary Ann Gawith.

“We’re going to end up with about $15,000 to $18,000 total,” Gawith said.

Photos by Andy Tullis

Mary Gilbertson mushes her dogs at the start of the Atta Boy 300 at the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center trails in 2005. Often, if you set up toward the start of a race, you’ll capture the excitement of participants — even dogs — who are eager to compete. I shot this image with a Canon EOS-1D Mark II, with a 300mm lens, ISO 400, aperture 7.1, shutter 1/1000.

By Andy Tullis The Bulletin

One of my favorite things is shooting in the snow, whether capturing a boarder catching some air in the backcountry, the action of sled dogs, a wintry landscape or kids playing in the snow at Drake Park.

For any of these, you’ll have to prepare.

Dress warm, take the right equipment and pack some extra patience. You’re going to have to plan your shot and wait — in the frigid outdoors — for the perfect moment to shoot.

That means your hands will get cold. Bring along gloves that are thin enough to shoot with but thick enough to keep your fingers warm.

This image of Wells Stevenson sitting beside her flipped vehicle near Mt. Bachelor in 2004 evokes seclusion and danger.

Usually on a shot like this, you have only a few seconds to shoot before the scene changes.

Wear sunglasses. A lot of glare comes off of snowy surfaces.

Bring a tripod or monopod if you’re shooting landscapes or shooting anything long enough that your hands might shake from the cold.

Venturing into the backcountry requires even more forethought. You’ll need more equipment, a shovel and probe, for instance, and fuel and water. When you pack, think ahead about the weight. You’ll have to carry all of the stuff you take, and sometimes in difficult conditions.

You’ll also need a buddy. Both of you need to know how to dig the other out if you fall into deep snow, and you’ll need to know the snow’s stability conditions before you head out.

Shooting kids in snow is a sure bet, but capturing the right moment is a challenge. With time, a photographer can predict where to be and when.

On this shot of twins Noah and Zoe Pensinger of Bend in 2004, I set up at the bottom of the hill at Drake Park. I like how her hand scoops snow as she tries to go faster than her brother.

Photographers new to shooting in winter should start with small trips, then stay out longer and try new spots over time.

As with any outdoor photography, look for sunrise or sunset light.

Go slow, stay as long as your body will let you stay out, and experiment. The more you get out there and try, the more you’ll like the images you bring home.

For inspiration over the years, I’ve learned from the work of the winter photo masters. You might enjoy them, too. Check out the work of Bud Fawcett and Trevor Graves, whose pictures were great teachers for me early in my days. But most of all, get out there. The snow is awesome.

Shooting snowboarding can be a challenge in the powder. Here I covered my camera with a homemade camera jacket to shoot Pat Malendoski of Bend as he gets low in a deep slasher turn on his swallowtail snowboard on Outback Chair at Mt. Bachelor in 2003.

Equipment corner FOR BEGINNERS

FOR INTERMEDIATES

FOR ADVANCED

Winter shooting requires warm clothes and a waterproof equipment bag. Keep silica in there, a shammy and Ziploc bags for the small stuff. Keep your camera bag zipped. Pull out your camera right before you shoot or carry it close to your body to keep it warm and prolong your battery life. When you get home, let your camera dry completely and slowly with the lens on. If you don’t, condensation could form.

Monopods and tripods stabilize your equipment when shooting long exposures of landscapes. Carrying one or the other will help you achieve a greater depth of focus in your final image.

The reflectiveness of snow will fool your camera’s automatic light meter. You’ll have to compensate. Try overexposing one or two stops, depending on the situation. This will give definition to your subject’s eyes rather than having them go black. Experiment to see if this works, then return your exposure compensation to zero.

A man charged with killing 28year-old Roberta “Bobbie” Jones and leaving her body in a forested area near Mount Bachelor this summer is scheduled to be sentenced this week to life in prison.

On Monday, Michael Shawn Sain Sr., 30, pleaded guilty to one count each of murder, firstdegree abuse of a corpse and felon in Michael possession of Shawn Sain a firearm after his attorneys reached a deal with prosecutors.

In addition, Sain entered Alford pleas to one count of second-degree assault and one count of second-degree robbery.

In an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit guilt, but acknowledges that there could be enough evidence to lead to a conviction.

Other charges dropped Prosecutors agreed to drop several other charges including aggravated murder, for which Sain could have received the death penalty.

Under the plea deal, Sain will be sentenced to life in prison. He will be eligible for parole in 36 years, eight months.

Sain was arrested Aug. 12 on suspicion of the murder of Jones.

She went missing Aug. 4. Police said Jones was shot and killed in a duplex on Northeast Dawson Drive in Bend before her body was dumped near a spur road off U.S. Forest Service Road 45.

Jones reportedly suffered other injuries in addition to multiple gunshot wounds, but police have released few details about the murder.

Prescription costs about to ease up for 350,000

By Megan Kehoe The Bulletin

A new contract between the Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Dental Services will lead to an additional 10 percent savings in prescription costs for almost 350,000 Oregonians.

“People in the uninsured prescription program will start seeing an impact as quickly as we can program the change in our computers,” said OHA Director of Pharmacy Programs Tom Burns.

“So January is when they should start to see some savings.”

According to Burns, those in the program will start seeing the impact of the new contract next year. Burns said the reason for this is that many of the programs still have contracts that must run out first before the new one is implemented.

The Oregon Health Authority, a state agency, focuses on improving health care in Oregon by working to lower the cost of and improve the quality of care.

Plover habitat plan expands The Associated Press GRANTS PASS — The Western snowy plover, a threatened shorebird that numbers only about 150 in Oregon, will be getting more places to nest in a few years.

The state Department of Parks and Recreation has entered into an agreement with federal authorities that calls for improving nesting habitat for plovers at three sites on the north coast — Columbia River South Jetty, Nehalem Spit and Necanicum Spit.

In return, the state gets what is called an incidental take permit, which lays out the terms of allowing continued public access to plover nesting areas.

The idea is to encourage plover nesting in the gap between beaches on Oregon’s South Coast and Washington state, said Laura Todd of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

That should also help bring the total number of plovers in Oregon to 200, the goal set under the Endangered Species Act. Parks and Recreation spokesman Chris Havel said the habitat improvements won’t be done until 2013, and there will be few new restrictions on people using the improved areas until plovers show up to nest.

Undersheriff Bruce Riley said officials returned to the area Saturday but were not able to see the body.

Blaylock, 48, was reported missing Nov. 2. Her husband, Steven Blaylock, has been charged with her murder. He was scheduled to enter a plea Monday, but his attorney asked for a 30-day delay.

New Human Dignity Coalition boss named The Human Dignity Coalition has selected Bruce Morris as its new executive director, according to a news release.

Morris is replacing Jenni Peskin, who has served at the coalition’s executive director for almost nine years. In the past, Morris has served on the HDC board of directors, and has worked with the Rural Organizing Project and Basic Rights Oregon.

Morris is set to take over as director of the coalition in January.

Tribe wants its timber to bear ‘certified’ stamp Coquille hope Forest Stewardship Council’s approval will open up new lumber markets

By Nate Traylor The World of Coos Bay

BRIDGE — At an elevation of about 1,800 feet, seven miles deep into the Coquille Forest near Bridge, an inspection was taking place.

Equipped with a clipboard and pen, Craig Howard analyzed the landscape, making notes and firing off questions to forest managers.

Provided the auditor didn’t see any red flags, the Coquille Indian Tribe would be well on its way to earning approval from the Forest Stewardship Council, authenticating the tribe as a conscientious steward of its ancestral lands.

Tribal officials believe their forest management practices are poised to receive that certification from the FSC, an international conservation organization.

With it, the tribe not only would score points with environmentalists, it could branch out into new markets. “There is a small niche market for certified wood products,� said Jason Robison, the tribe’s biological and environmental services coordinator. “By being FSC-certified, we’re able to get into that market and provide a high-quality product to the local mills that are already certified.�

‘Chain of custody’ By doing so, wood would be carried along a “chain of custody� — coming from a certified forest and fashioned at a certified mill — lending the product environmental integrity, if not worth. “I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s worth more,� said Paul Beck of Herbert Lumber Co. Already a longtime customer, Herbert Lumber Co. is one of five FSC-certified mills in the South Coast region. It’s located in Riddle, about 20 miles south of Roseburg.

He said the tribe was wise to pursue certification, even if it doesn’t translate to higher profits. It’s an important step in establishing credibility, he said. “I think it’s more of a case of somehow gaining recognition in these politically charged times of resource-management issues.�

Cal Mukumoto, CEO of the Coquille Economic Development Corp., does see markup potential with a seal of sustainability. “For high-quality wood, there is certainly a premium,�

Mukumoto said.

The green-building market is ripe with high-dollar products.

And some builders have strict standards.

The U.S. Green Building Council recently ruled that FSCcertified lumber was the only acceptable lumber in LEED-certified projects. LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) is a rating system for green building design.

Besides meeting self-imposed standards, the tribe adheres to two strict sets of guidelines: The Northwest Forest Management Plan and the National Indian Forest Resources Management Act. “The Coquille Indian Tribe is the only tribe in the nation that manages according to the same standards and guides as adjacent federal lands,� Robison said.

5,400 acres The tribe manages about 5,400 acres of forest land in Coos County, along with the 1,100-acre Empire Reservation in Coos Bay and several smaller parcels.

The tribe allows harvesting only on about 2,300 acres with an allowable salable quantity of 3.5 million board feet over a 10year period, generating about $13 million, officials said.

The Coquille Forest near Bridge abuts private and federal lands. The tribe’s property is distinguished by varying tree heights, some spaced apart, others growing in clusters. “That’s our intention, to provide a lot of diversity,� said Tim Vredenburg, the tribe’s land resources and environmental services director. “It’s more structurally complex at an early age.�

The tribe’s resource management plan goes beyond environmental interests. Protecting its cultural resources also is a key priority.

Officials say ancestral gathering places such as prayer and vision-quest sites are managed with reverence.

Plus, the plan calls for retention of culturally significant species such as western red cedar and Port Orford cedar, traditionally used in long houses. Other species are valued materials used in baskets and regalia.

The Coquilles are among a number of tribes currently pursuing a FSC certification, said Brad Kahn, communications director of FSC U.S. in Seattle.

Those already certified include Oregon’s Warm Springs Tribe, Wisconsin’s Menominee Tribe and the Hoopa Valley Indian Tribe of California. “I think there is a building momentum of tribes looking at certification,� Kahn said.

O I B Sen. Wyden recovering from cancer surgery PORTLAND — U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon is reportedly recovering from prostate cancer surgery.

His staff quoted the surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore as saying Monday that “everything went perfect. The patient is recovering well.”

Wyden expects to be released Tuesday and will recuperate at his home in Washington.

Wyden said last week that the early-stage cancer was discovered after a physical in November.

He worked through the weekend, voting on the winning side for the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and on the losing side to cut off debate on a bill he favored to give young illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.

Troopers say driver stopped, shot himself PORTLAND — The Oregon State Police say an Idaho man stopped by a trooper Sunday night in Southern Oregon shot himself in the head and is in critical condition.

The State Police said Monday that the trooper stopped a pickup truck along Interstate 5 because of a report the driver may have been drunk.

The trooper, standing next to the pickup, saw the driver go for a handgun and retreated, hearing a shot from the pickup.

The traffic stop was near Rice Hill in Douglas County.

The State Police said 31-yearold Igor Niaki of Post Falls, Idaho, was taken to the hospital in Springfield.

Pendleton shy on power Reopened plywood mill to woo high-tech clients puts 108 back to work Megawatt-hungry projects looking for cities with big capacity

By Owen R. Smith East Oregonian

PENDLETON — Nearly two years ago, a high-tech company supposedly was on the verge of moving a data processing center to Pendleton’s industrial park, lured by cheap energy and the city’s large fiber-optic capacity.

However, “Project Cowbell” and its promise of 35 well-paying jobs never materialized because Pendleton does not have the power capacity to support such a center.

“They came to Pendleton and they absolutely loved Pendleton,” said Pendleton economic development director Tracy Bosen. “They sat down with us to make a deal. That would have been a home run for anybody.”

$15M grid upgrade But instead of a home run, no deal could be worked out to pay for the necessary $15 million upgrade to Pendleton’s power grid.

Project Cowbell is still without a home, and the industrial park remains undeveloped.

Bosen seemed to indicate that power capacity was the main sticking point to the company coming to Pendleton, but City Manager Larry Lehman said that was far from a sure thing.

“The chances of us getting that (were slim),” Lehman said.

“It was not a bird in hand at all.”

What can Pendleton handle?

A data processing center on the scale of Project Cowbell requires around 10 megawatts of

“The problem with data centers is that they are these huge users of water and electricity, but they only have a handful of jobs.”

— Bill Clemens, Pacific Power regional manager power capacity. Pendleton and the surrounding area hit a peak daily usage of between 40 and 45 megawatts.

The city’s power grid has the potential to support seven additional megawatts if no upgrades are made, enough to power 2,100 homes.

“That seven megawatts of capacity is enough to handle 99 percent of the companies that would relocate there,” said Pacific Power regional manager Bill Clemens. He clarified that only a data processing center would require an upgrade to the grid.

The massive Facebook data processing center in Prineville utilizes 40 megawatts, and Facebook is working with Pacific Power to triple that capacity, Clemens said.

Only one place on this side of the state has the capacity to power a data processing center with no upgrade: the Port of Umatilla, which is getting additional capacity anyway in the form of a new transmission line.

“I imagine there are several of them sniffing around there right now,” Clemens said of data processing centers, adding that Amazon — the online retail giant — has recently purchased

land near the port. “The problem with data centers is that they are these huge users of water and electricity, but they only have a handful of jobs.”

A potential $15 million to $18 million upgrade is a tough pill to swallow for all parties that would have a stake in an upgrade to Pendleton’s power grid: the city, Pacific Power and a potential company.

“The problem in Pendleton is that our transmission system that feeds our substation is fed off the Bonneville (dam),” Clemens said. “Then we have a problem on (Bonneville Power Administration’s) system, and that’s why it gets so expensive.”

Not a priority Lehman said the priority is not on adding power capacity, especially with no company in line to use the power and other infrastructure-related concerns at the industrial park to deal with first.

“The city of Pendleton does not have the . . . dollars to put in power there. That would be between Pacific Power and the company,” Lehman said. “The city of Pendleton would not rely on our taxpayers to do that.”

SALEM — Police caught a 15year-old boy suspected of breaking into Waldo Middle School in Salem, causing damage and stealing electronics.

Officers responded to a report of the sound of breaking glass about 7 p.m. Sunday at the school, and a witness reported seeing two people run away.

Officers found the 15-year-old in the neighborhood. They also found a stolen laptop computer and three projectors hidden in some bushes.

Inside the school, police found broken windows and smashed blinds and equipment in five classrooms. Damage is more than $5,000.

The 15-year-old was booked in the Marion County Juvenile Facility on burglary charges.

A search of the area with a police dog did not find the other suspect.

Airport agency gives up leasing operations SALEM — Under pressure from the Federal Aviation Administration, the Oregon agency that manages 28 state-owned airports has turned over its property leasing operations to management specialists.

The Salem Statesman Journal reported the change follows the exit of Dan Clem as state aviation director in October 2009. At issue was a lease at the Aurora airport in Marion County that called for a company to do paving work instead of making payments for parking space.

The FAA supplies $150,000 a year to run the airport and said the lease violated benefited the company at the expense of the airport. It ordered corrective action.

The state Aviation Department says the leases are now handled by the Department of Administrative Services.

Biomass plant ready to build in the spring LAKEVIEW — The initial work on a biomass plant in Lakeview is nearing completion, and full-scale construction is expected in the spring.

The Klamath Falls Herald and News reported the Lakeview Biomass Cogeneration Plant is expected to cost $75 million to $100 million and provide 70 permanent jobs.

A spokeswoman for the Portland company building the plant says the company needs to have 5 percent of the value of the project completed by Dec. 31 to qualify for federal tax credits.

The Associated Press ROGUE RIVER — The reopening of a plywood plant in Southern Oregon has given the area around Rogue River an early present: 108 people are back at work, and there are hopes that number could rise.

“Everybody’s thrilled to death,” said Sandy Henderson, a 75-year-old resident of nearby Wimer. “There are people who’d been laid off who are back to work. It couldn’t happen at a better time of the year.”

Betting on rebound In reopening the mill that was closed in early 2009 and purchased earlier this year for $3.6 million, the Murphy Co. of Eugene is betting on a rebound in housing construction next year, the Medford Mail-Tribune reported.

National housing starts are in the 550,000 range so far this year, up by about 3.9 percent from a year ago, said owner John Murphy. Next year industry experts expect housing starts could hit 745,000 units.

“They’re counting on a slow, gradual climb out of this housing hole,” he said.

The plant is operating with one shift, and the company hopes to increase production to three shifts with about 200 employees, Murphy said.

“It’s exciting to be in these rural communities when they need it so bad,” he said.

The mill will complement Murphy’s other operations.

“Everybody’s thrilled to death. There are people who’d been laid off who are back to work. It couldn’t happen at a better time of the year.”

— Sandy Henderson, Wimer resident

in Eugene and a structural beam and header plant in Sutherlin use some of the best raw materials. The remaining materials and lower-grade veneers can now be sent to Rogue River.

The plant along interstate 5 between Grants Pass and Medford is on 51 acres, and the plant is 164,000 square feet.

Milwaukee-based Panel Products shut it down in early 2009, one of a number of blows to timber products in the Rogue Valley.

As the plant ramped up for its first week of production, Kimberly Clifford was loading veneers into a dryer.

She used to work at a mill in White City before it closed and said she was shocked to get a call for a job with Murphy.

“They really must have a lot of faith to do this at this time,” she said.

County gives public a peek

G

overnment bodies are often reluctant to bare their inner workings to the public, notwithstanding the existence of laws designed to ensure transparency. We’ve devoted a

lot of ink over the years to editorials criticizing such secrecy, and we’ll devote a lot more in years to come.

Occasionally, though, efforts to operate transparently deserve recognition, which is why we’re writing today about a Deschutes County business incentive program that we singled out for criticism on Oct. 28.

Through its Economic Development Fund, the county issues what are, in effect, grants to businesses that promise to use the money for job retention and creation. But the county doesn’t administer the program, even though public money is involved.

That job belongs to a private nonprofit called Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO), which the county pays to act as its economic development department. EDCO, after screening applications, sends its recommendations to the board of commissioners, which has the final say.

By and large, this arrangement makes sense. EDCO’s personnel have expertise that county personnel lack, and renting that expertise costs taxpayers a lot less than hiring a county economic development team. Finally, the decision to spend public money ultimately belongs to a trio of elected officials.

But we did run into a problem two months ago. We asked the county to give us a copy of the application filed by a local company that had received EDCO’s blessing for economic development funding. The county didn’t have the application because, after all, EDCO administers the program. And EDCO wouldn’t give it to us — even though public funds were at stake — because it’s a private organization.

We complained, and we’re happy to say County Administrator Dave Kanner listened. He says he told EDCO officials that applications should be treated as public documents, and

EDCO Executive Director Roger Lee confirmed this week that they will be available for public inspection. Sure enough, when we requested G.L. Solutions’ application, which commissioners were to consider yesterday, Kanner sent it immediately.

The city of Bend deserves credit here, too. Like Deschutes County, the city distributes “forgivable loans” — essentially grants — to certain businesses. EDCO administers Bend’s program, too. However, Bend takes what City Manager Eric King calls “an active role in evaluating” applications.

To that end, the city has created a nine-member economic development advisory board. The board’s meetings are open to any member of the public inclined to attend, according to King, and the applications the board handles are available for public review.

We’re still not convinced that the loans and grants distributed by Bend and Deschutes County accomplish a whole lot. For instance, commissioners yesterday considered awarding a forgivable loan of $50,000 to G.L. Solutions, which plans to add 39 jobs paying, on average, $65,724 per year.

The grant — the maximum allowable — would thus pay under $1,300 per job, a relative pittance. We don’t fault G.L. Solutions for requesting the money — that would be silly — but we suspect that the forgivable loan amounts to a generous perk rather than a meaningful incentive.

But whether the funding amounts to a perk, a powerful incentive or something else entirely, at least the process is now in the open, allowing taxpayers to review it, come to their own conclusions and, if they’re motivated, call their elected representatives with praise or criticism. For that, both county and city officials deserve credit.

Highway crossing is still dangerous T

he Reed Lane crosswalk on which Robert Hunt was killed this fall will receive an upgrade.

Ditto a similar crosswalk at Badger Road. We wish we could say that ODOT’s plans will fix the problem with both of these crossings, which is that they invite pedestrians to wander onto U.S. Highway 97 without the protective cover of a traffic light. Unfortunately, we can’t make such a claim any more than we can argue that the addition of racing stripes can turn a Yugo into a Porsche. A clunker’s a clunker no matter how you dress it up.

To drive on Highway 97 just once is to understand what a bad idea these crosswalks are. Virtually everyone who travels along this section of road exceeds the posted speed of 45 mph.

And why not? The road looks and feels much more like a freeway than a place a reasonable person would expect to encounter a crosswalk. For that reason, any sensible motorist who sees an antsy pedestrian beside the road would have second thoughts about stopping. Who knows what the guy driving the car behind him is going to do?

ODOT plans to make the crosswalks safer by making them more visible. It will accomplish this by improving signage, adding flashing lights and so on. Such changes will improve safety, no doubt, but they won’t — and can’t — make these crosswalks safe.

To do that, ODOT must get rid of them entirely and replace them with underpasses or overpasses.

My Nickel’s Worth Guns and parks I am always entertained by the slanted characterizations of hunting and gun issues in the media as seen in your Dec. 12 parks story.

Of course, the impression was that lawless “gun toters” were raping the national parks, that game wardens and park rangers were being overrun — all since the aggravating allowance of guns in the parks by court decision.

The factoid that 15 park rangers have been killed in the last 31 years was offered to bolster the anti-gun argument. This is, of course, horrible. But, it is about equivalent to the number of persons killed in an average month in Cleveland, or a week in Chicago or Detroit or Washington, D.C. But, since guns are illegal there, we can only assume that things would be worse if they were not illegal.

When will people get it that by disarming the law-abiding public we make criminal predators’ tasks easier?

John DiStefano Bend

Support plaza Thank you, ODOT, and the other powers that be, who realized that the DMV office at the Brookswood Meadow Plaza was not the best location for many reasons.

There are great places in businessoriented areas where the DMV will better serve the public and provide easier access. As far as those of us who live in RiverRim and this neighborhood, I am sure parents are breathing a sigh of relief that on a street where an elementary school and a preschool facility are located, there will not be a large increase of traffic. It just did not seem the right fit for this small plaza

and for the small shops and businesses located there.

Now that a decision to find another location has been made, I would ask that those who boycotted the businesses in protest of placing the DMV there, may we please try and support these businesses like we did before all of this hoopla started?

It’s hard enough in this economy to survive, let alone with a formal boycott of a specific store.

This small plaza has great potential for small businesses to be located there, is a wonderful convenience for local residents, just not the best place for the DMV. Let’s let bygones be bygones and just move on, wishing all these businesses the best during the holiday season and in 2011.

Bulletin vs. fairness The Bulletin’s Dec. 15 editorial regarding the county commission’s upcoming vote to ratify a labor contract with the Deschutes County deputy district attorneys was rife with one-sidedness. To portray as a bad thing that the newly elected DA “… wouldn’t be free to make staff changes simply because he wanted to …” is truly a statement worthy of dissection.

Which one of those who wrote this editorial would like to give up all claims to your employment just because someone “wanted to” fire you and was required to give absolutely no just reason as to why?

The “just cause” verbiage seems to be the main sticking point in the editorial. To desire a degree of stability in one’s employment, as long as you perform your duties as expected, is not

unreasonable. To be fired at someone’s subjective discretion without just cause is. With this contract, nothing stands in the way of a dismissal other than a good reason.

Judging by past editorials, it is very apparent that The Bulletin is decidedly anti-collective bargaining in all forms.

The editors seem to be afraid of fairness rather than Flaherty’s ability to do his job.

Bulletin vs. wilderness The Bulletin’s put-down of wilderness status for the lower Whychus and Deschutes junction was predictable. If any environmentalist or environmentalist group proposes something, it will almost certainly be opposed by your paper.

Wilderness status would not really change the use of this area, but give it the recognition it deserves. It is rugged and difficult to access, and nonwilderness uses are not appropriate in the canyon.

It seems difficult for me to see where any Crooked River Ranch private properties would be impacted.

We vacation in the Palm Springs area in March. I do not golf or swim but enjoy hiking the numerous trails provided next door to the large population of this whole valley. Palm Springs and its neighboring cities are surrounded by state and federal lands, much of which is dedicated wilderness, national park and ecological area set aside for wildlife. These areas are a plus for the Palm Springs area just as Whychus Wilderness would be a plus for this area.

Health care decision is a gift to irresponsible Republicans S FROMA o you thought health care was fixed. Well, maybe not “fixed,” but you assumed that the new law had put us on the path to solving one of America’s most pressing problems — spiraling health care costs amid surging numbers of uninsured citizens.

No, no, no, no.

The recent decision by Judge Henry E. Hudson, of a U.S. district court in Virginia, pumps new life into Republican efforts to kill health care reform by draining the program of a means to pay for it. Hudson argued that forcing anyone to buy something — in this case, a private insurance policy — is unconstitutional. (Two other district court judges rejected that interpretation.)

Why is the individual mandate essential? Current law requires hospital emergency rooms to treat all comers.

Without the mandate, uninsured people

could wait to buy coverage until they’re in the ambulance. In 2008, doctors and hospitals delivered $43 billion in “free” care. (Of course, it was not free. Taxpayers and anyone with private coverage picked up those bills.)

Years ago, Massachusetts forbade insurers to discriminate against sick people, but it didn’t also insist that everyone obtain coverage. What happened?

Premiums jumped. Since it added the mandate in 2006, premiums have fallen 40 percent.

If the mandate goes, so go the parts of the law that stop insurers from rejecting those with pre-existing conditions or canceling policies once the policyholder becomes seriously ill. In an efficient insurance pool, as we’ve seen in Massachusetts, healthy people must subsidize the sick.

This concept is not foreign to Republi-

HARROP

cans and has been part of their own past health care proposals. But the individual mandate in the new law has suddenly become a big, big problem for them.

Actually, Republicans do not object to expanding government health care as much as they mind paying for it. They did not set aside a single penny for their 2003 Medicare drug benefit, tacking it all on to the national debt. (A giveaway to insurers and drug companies, the Medicare drug benefit is costing about the same as the Democrats’ reform of the entire system.) Former U.S. Comp-

troller General David Walker called it “the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation since the 1960s.”

And let’s drop the fairy tale that the Grand Old Party’s deficit cowboys have been replaced by fiscally conservative new blood. In their book, “Young Guns — a New Generation of Conservative Leaders,” Reps. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Eric Cantor of Virginia and Kevin McCarthy of California talk piously of fellow Republicans having “lost their way” and pretend they are different.

But when it came time in 2003 to vote on the “most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation,” what did the “young guns” actually do? They voted for it.

Ryan said “yea.” Cantor said “yea.” (McCarthy was not yet elected to Congress.)

This latest legal attack on the health care law doesn’t make much sense. The federal government argues that the

mandate to buy coverage is indeed constitutional because the fine for not having it would be levied as an income tax.

Meanwhile, it’s hard not to laugh at the cries over the “injustice” of forcing people to buy coverage. Working Americans are already forced to buy health coverage — but for others. They can’t choose not to pay the Medicare payroll tax. They can’t even make a deal with the government, promising, “I will forgo all future Medicare benefits if I can be freed from the Medicare payroll tax.”

If the new health care reforms die, America will find no relief from the economic deadweight of spending twice per capita on health care as other rich countries. It would mean another push down the slope of national decline.

Helen Chaplin, hotel exec Eugene Goldwasser, who wooed rich, famous developer of anemia drug Epo, dies at 88

By Mary Rourke

Helen Chaplin, shown in 1980, was a sprightly senior executive at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel for more than 40 years who won the hearts of European royalty, heads of state, political pundits and A-list celebrities by attending to their whims as guests.

Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Helen Chaplin, a sprightly senior executive at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel for more than 40 years who won the hearts of European royalty, heads of state, political pundits and A-list celebrities by attending to their whims as guests, has died. She was 97.

Chaplin, a longtime resident of Beverly Hills, died Saturday of age-related causes at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, her close friend Katie Haupt said Monday.

“Helen is credited with creating hotel public relations as we know it,” said Los Angeles publicist Craig Donahue, a longtime friend. “She knew how to take care of a high-end clientele.”

In the early years, friends said, Chaplin made up her methods for catering to the powerful as she went along. She kept abreast of who was who by reading newspapers and magazines and seemed to remember it all thanks to a formidable memory.

Still, she left nothing to chance.

“Helen kept a card on every frequent guest of the hotel,” said architect Victoria Yust, Chaplin’s assistant for 10 years. She made a note if they traveled with their own bedsheets, their own food, their own staff. If she didn’t know everything about a guest, Chaplin asked Yust to do further research.

“For Helen it was all about the details,” Yust said. “She was curious about everything, and she enjoyed people’s quirkiness.”

Chaplin had stories to tell, but never before a guest checked out. Then, she might mention that the kitchen staff peeled grapes for Japan’s Emperor Hirohito while he was at the hotel in 1975, or brought in a meal of 30 Big Macs for the hefty King Taufa’ahau Tupou IV of Tonga during his stay. For conservative commentator William F. Buckley, Chaplin ordered a supply of the peanut butter he put on his breakfast toast.

Several major celebrities lived at the hotel or kept a suite there over the years. Warren Beatty held the keys to the penthouse through the 1980s. Elvis Presley had the “presidential suite” on reserve in the late 1950s. Chaplin might admit to that much, but seldom offered more.

“Helen was very involved in protecting people’s private lives while they were at the hotel,” Donahue said. She might, however, drop a few names to trusted friends, “which is why I loved having her for dinner with a bottle of red wine,” Donahue said.

No task was too insignificant.

Several times Chaplin helped visiting royals unpack their luggage because they were traveling without a personal maid. “I was always dressed in navy or black; they couldn’t tell the difference,” she said.

“Helen was there to help; it wasn’t a big deal,” recalled Tia Gindick, former society reporter for the Los Angeles Times. “She wasn’t intimidating.”

Her talent for putting people at ease “reminded you of your wonderful aunt,” Gindick said.

Chaplin joined the hotel staff in 1952, newly divorced and in need of a job.

She started as a secretary but quickly moved ahead when the hotel’s flamboyant new owner, Hernando Courtright, took charge in 1960.

That year he promoted Chaplin to assistant hotel manager after she brought in a major renovation job ahead of schedule and under budget.

Courtright liked to do things in a big way. When Queen Margrethe of Denmark, nicknamed

Continued from C1 “The response to the story was phenomenal.”

Donations ranged in size from a few dollars to several thousand, Gawith said.

“There were no small donations,” she added. “Every one was heartfelt, and people gave what they could.”

In addition, Gawith said, the money will enable SCOOTR to supply walk-ins on distribution day, today, with Christmas presents and food.

“We’re the only group in the area that allows walk-ins, and there will always be someone who is working the system,” she said. “Every year, between 50 and 80 families come to the distribution day who had not previously registered. Sometimes they didn’t know about it or had just gotten to the area.

We won’t turn anyone away.”

The recent windfall will cover all the costs of the Christmas program, Gawith said, and the rest will be used for youth programs in the south county area.

The nonprofit spends about 95 percent of all funds raised on youth programs, she added, and administrative and fundraising costs are minimal. SCOOTR has no paid employes, she added; all participants are volunteers.

“SCOOTR gets requests throughout the year for grants and funding of worthy youth programs, and if the request meets our criteria, SCOOTR may fund it,” Gawith said. “If we have the money, we will spend it.”

Some held photos of Jones, a mother of two who lived with her mother in the Oregon Water Wonderland subdivision, south of Sunriver and not far from Sain’s home on Egret Drive.

Sain stood with his attorneys, dressed in a navy Deschutes County jail jumpsuit. A tattoo reading “Mama’s Boy” was visible on his neck.

Heads of state, ambassadors and Cabinet members from around the world were greeted with mariachi bands, bagpipers or trumpets while their nations’ flags snapped in the breeze between the hotel’s wings. Chaplin was behind most of it.

“Courtright gave Helen the orders, and she found a way to get them done,” said Bill Wilkinson, former president of Ayala Hotels, which included the Checkers Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.

She was promoted to vice president of the Regent Beverly Wilshire in 1985, a rare achievement for a woman at the time.

“She would have been the hotel manager if she had been a man,” Wilkinson said. “Thousands of people in the hotel business looked to her as a role model.”

Born Helen Vorisek in New York City on April 26, 1913, she graduated from Hunter College in New York. She married Charles Chaplin, who was in the advertising business, and moved to Los Angeles with him in 1942.

Dr. Eugene Goldwasser, a largely unsung biochemist whose 20-year pursuit of an elusive protein led to the development of a widely used anemia drug that became one of the biggest products of the biotechnology industry, died Friday at his home in Chicago.

He was 88.

The cause was kidney failure caused by a recurrence of prostate cancer, his son James said.

In the late 1970s, Goldwasser, working at the University of Chicago, isolated and purified erythropoietin, or Epo, a protein that spurs the body to produce red blood cells. And he shared his precious material with a young biotechnology company, which figured out how to produce larger amounts of the protein using genetic engineering.

That company, Amgen, became the world’s biggest biotechnology company on the basis of Epo. Sales of the protein under names like Epogen, Procrit and Aranesp amount to billions of dollars a year for Amgen, as well as for Johnson & Johnson and Roche.

Most people undergoing kidney dialysis now receive Epo, helping to relieve them of severe anemia, which can sap them of energy. Many cancer patients also get the drug to combat anemia caused by chemotherapy.

“It just continually delighted him that the work he did ended up having an impact on patients,” said Dr. Gary Toback, a friend and colleague of Goldwasser’s at the University of Chicago.

Epo has also been used surreptitiously by athletes, most notoriously Tour de France bicycle racers, to increase their endurance. In addition, recent studies have suggested that overuse of the drug can harm patients. Sales, as a result, have declined over the last few years.

While Epo has meant huge profits for drug companies, Goldwasser, whom colleagues described as quiet and self-ef-

Contract Continued from C1 Under the new contract with health insurers, ODS is looking to help Oregonians save money by containing the high costs of health care in Oregon.

“This new contract is hopefully setting the Health Authority up as a master purchasing agent for health care with taxpayers’ money,” Burns said, “and anything we can do to reduce costs without damaging the quality of health care is a step in the right direction.”

The Oregon Prescription Drug Program is a state-sponsored prescription drug discount program administered by ODS that has group programs open to all public and private sector businesses offering group health benefits to their employees.

The OPDP also has an individual program, open to all Oregonians, whether they are insured or not. Participants are provided with a discount card that they can use for all drugs prescribed

facing, won neither fame nor fortune. Although he notified his university about his accomplishment, it never patented Epo, and Goldwasser did not follow up.

“One percent of one percent of the drug’s annual revenues would have funded my lab quite handsomely,” he told a university publicist years later.

Eugene Goldwasser was born in Brooklyn in 1922.

When his father’s clothing business failed during the Depression, the family moved to Kansas City, Mo., to join a relative in a similar business.

After attending high school and a community college there, he transferred as a junior to the University of Chicago on a scholarship, earning a bachelor’s degree and, in 1950, a doctorate in biochemistry.

As far back as 1906, two French researchers had postulated the existence of a substance that prompts the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the body’s tissues. But if that substance did exist, it was in such minuscule quantities that no one could find it.

Goldwasser began to look for it in 1955 at the urging of his mentor, the noted hematologist Leon O. Jacobson.

“I estimated several months should see the task completed,” Goldwasser recalled in 1996 in an essay in the journal Perspectives in Biology and Medicine.

Instead it took 20 years. In 1957, Goldwasser and colleagues, by systematically removing different organs from rats to see if they became anemic, concluded that Epo was made in the kidneys. That helped explain why patients with kidney failure became anemic.

The drug was tested first in patients undergoing dialysis, who suffered debilitating anemia.

The only treatment at that time was frequent blood transfusions, which exposed patients to infectious diseases and to a dangerous buildup of iron in their livers.

by a licensed clinician.

According to the program’s website, the OPDP discounts have provided consumers an average savings of 45 percent since the program started in 2005. According to Burns, the new contract will help consumers save an additional $4 million annually. The change will take place automatically; people enrolled in the program will not have to fill out any additional paperwork to see savings.

Chandra Wahrgren, vice president of pharmaceutical programs at ODS who spearheaded the development of the new contract, said it has been in the works for nine months.

“It aligns nicely with the manner that we go about representing cost-effective health care and supporting high-quality programs,” Wahrgren said of the contract. “All Oregonians deserve to have access to that level of care.”

Forecasters warn of more rain on way to California Thousands given OK to return home after threat of major floods

By John Rogers The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Thousands of residents of the San Joaquin Valley farming community of McFarland were cleared to return home Monday after fears of major flooding prompted evacuations.

At one point, an estimated 400 to 500 homes were in danger as the result of stormy weather that has gripped California since late last week, triggering mostly minor flooding, mudslides, road closures and power outages.

Forecasters warned of worsening conditions today and Wednesday as more storms bare down on the state and threaten to dump another 5 to 10 inches of rain.

In McFarland, resident Cristian Abundis, who lives on a street where water had been running a foot deep, returned from an evacuation center and was filling sand bags.

“We just want to be prepared,” he said, dropping the bags around his doors and driveway.

Gary Farrell, general manager of the McFarland Parks and Recreation District, said the flooding was caused when Poso Creek, which runs south of McFarland, became clogged with debris and the creek overflowed.

Santa Fe Railroad crews cleared the debris.

Elsewhere, a small twin-engine airplane was reported overdue on a 65-mile flight from Palm Springs to Chino, and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department intended to conduct a search while the Federal Aviation Administration checked with other airports to see if the pilot had diverted, FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said.

The Aero Commander’s trip was under visual flight rules,

meaning the pilot did not plan to talk to controllers.

Virtually the entire state was affected by the bad weather. On Sunday, rainfall records for the date fell, numerous traffic accidents snarled roads, and trees tumbled.

Some locations in Southern California had received more than 12 inches of rain, said meteorologist Jamie Meier of the National Weather Service. It was the most rainfall in one storm event since 2005, he said.

The California Highway Patrol reported two rain-related traffic deaths Sunday.

A 3-year-old boy was ejected from an SUV that went out of control in heavy rain in the Fresno area, and a 22-year-old man was thrown from a vehicle that hydroplaned and crashed in the Bakersfield area.

Flash-flood watches and warnings were in effect Monday for some places, particularly mountain areas still scarred by wildfires.

Residents of La Canada Flintridge were among those keeping a wary eye on the rain after a 250-square-mile wildfire last year denuded towering slopes above communities along the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.

More than 40 homes in the hillside city just north of Los Angeles were damaged or destroyed by a mudslide in February.

“We’ve just had some sprinkling rains today. Occasionally it gets a littler harder but nothing to worry about,” said Del Tucker, a retired geologist who has lived in the area since homes were built there in 1962.

Elsewhere, a 20-mile stretch of scenic Pacific Coast Highway between Malibu and Oxnard was closed to commuters after a rock and mudslide Sunday night.

The California Highway Patrol said no one was hurt. PCH also was closed for a time in Orange County by a mudslide at Dana Point.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL UO’s Kelly takes Walter Camp coaching honor NEW HAVEN, CT – Chalk up another postseason honor for University of Oregon head coach Chip Kelly, who has been named the Walter Camp 2010 Coach of the Year as selected by the nation’s 120 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors.

The second-year head man, who guided the No. 2 Ducks to a perfect 12-0 regular season mark and an upcoming trip to the BCS Championship game on Jan. 10 in Glendale, Ariz., against No. 1 Auburn (13-0), is the first UO coach and third Pac10 mentor to win the honor, awarded annually since 1967.

The Ducks lead the nation in scoring average at 49.3 points per game and rank second in total offense at 537.5 yards per contest. Defensively, Oregon is allowing just 18.4 points a game – 14th lowest in the nation. Oregon’s 12 victories are its most in 115 seasons.

Kelly is also this season’s recipient of the Eddie Robinson and Sporting News national coach of the year awards while earning his second Pac-10 coaching honor in as many seasons.

He is currently a finalist for the Paul “Bear” Bryant Award and Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year.

Kelly, a native New Englander who hails from Manchester, N.H., will be honored along with members of the 2010 Walter Camp All-America team, which includes UO running back LaMichael James, at the organization’s national awards banquet Jan. 15 at the Yale University Commons in New Haven.

OSU’s Paea, USC’s Smith picked Morris Trophy winners WALNUT CREEK, Calif.

— Offensive tackle Tyron Smith of USC and defensive tackle Stephen Paea of Oregon State have been named winners of the 31st annual Morris Trophy.

The Morris Trophy is a unique award given to the outstanding offensive and defensive linemen in the Pac-10 Conference. What makes the award unique is the selection procedure, in which the starting offensive linemen in the conference vote for the defensive winner and vice versa.

Smith, a 6-foot-5, 280pound junior from Moreno Valley, Calif., was named a first-team All-Pac-10 performer in voting by the Pac-10 head coaches.

Paea, a 6-foot-1, 311pound senior from Los Altos, Calif., is a repeat winner and also received the 2010 Pac10 Conference Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year honor as selected by the conference head coaches. He finished the season with 45 tackles, including 10 tacklesfor-loss and six quarterback sacks. Paea also caused four fumbles during the season and is the new Oregon State record holder for career forced fumbles with nine.

Paea, a consensus 2010 AllAmerica selection, joins three former Pac-10 defensive players as two-time recipients of the Morris Trophy (Arizona’s Dana Wells 1987-88; Washington’s Steve Emtman, 1990-91; USC’s Sedrick Ellis 2006-07).

Snowshoeing Bulletin reporter heads into the backcountry for the first time Reporter’s prelude: So here’s the deal: I move to Bend from the Portland area right as autumn begins to become the new Community Sports coordinator at The Bulletin.

Just as I start to get my bearings here in Central Oregon, the snow hits.

Just what, exactly, is a summersport girl supposed to do?

As it turns out, I can play in the snow. Join me as I explore Central Oregon’s winter COMMUNITY playgrounds and try a number of SPORTS the region’s popular sports and recreational activities — many for the first time.

This week, I try snowshoeing.

When it comes to snowshoeing, the world really is your forest.

With a pair of snowshoes strapped to your feet, you can go almost anywhere, exploring every place from sno-park trails to backcountry woods.

“Snowshoes give you access to areas that you really can’t get to in any other way, especially in high clusters of trees,” says Joe Checketts, a guide for Wanderlust Tours, a Bend-based company that provides interpretive snowshoe tours in the region. “You can’t take a snowmobile through there, you can’t really cross-country ski through there.

So you can really access any part of the mountain or the forest from snowshoes.”

Atlas 1130, top, and 1025 snowshoe models cost about $200, depending on the retailer.

Gear guide: Snowshoes At their essence, most snowshoes are pretty similar in terms of construction: They have a frame that is usually made of some type of metal, a webbing for the frame interior that is typically made of a synthetic material or leather, crampons that dig into the ice and snow, a buckling system, a hinge so the foot can rotate, and a foot bed.

A quick Internet search of snowshoe manufacturers yielded a cost range of about $120 to $310. Joe Checketts, a guide with Central Oregon’s Wanderlust Tours, says you can expect to pay about $150 to $175 for an “average, middle-of-theroad pair.” If properly cared for, he adds, the snowshoes can last up to 10 or even 15 years, and worn-out straps can simply be replaced as long as the shoe is still sound structurally.

If you are thinking of investing in your own pair of snowshoes, Checketts recommends focusing on one component in particular.

“To me the most important thing is the buckling system, and I’m not sure that most beginners realize that,” he explains. “(Snowshoers need) to stay in the snowshoe and have it be snug and tight on their foot.” Otherwise, you might have to stop repeatedly to tighten the straps, which can slow you down and put a damper on your outing.

Make sure to purchase snowshoes for the proper type of conditions or purpose, such as for backcountry, for trails, or even for racing.

“If you’re doing a lot of backcountry snowshoeing where you’re paving your own trail, you want a bigger shoe,” Checketts says. “But if you’re mostly going on groomed trails or paths that have already been stomped down, you can use a smaller shoe.”

Sizing — the length of the snowshoe in inches — is determined by body weight, so when you settle on a model, pick the size appropriate for your weight. Lighter individuals will wear smaller shoes. Women-specific snowshoes are on the market, but generally, the main difference is the color scheme, Checketts says. The sizes of women’s snowshoes also tend to be on the smaller side to accommodate lighter bodies.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — When Michael Phelps won eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympics, many thought the record would last decades.

Ryan Lochte has other thoughts.

He completed a Phelps-like program at the shortcourse world championships. He won all five individual races he entered — just as Phelps did in Beijing — and pushed the United States ahead of Russia to win the 400 medley relay on the final night of competition on Sunday. Overall, he had six golds and a silver.

The performance showed what Lochte might be capable of at the 2012 London Games.

“He’s certainly establishing himself as the best swimmer in the world, and he’s doing that in a way where I don’t think we’re seeing any end,” U.S. assistant coach David Marsh said. “In many ways, I think we’re just seeing the beginning of what he can do.”

The world records Lochte set in the 200 and 400 individual medleys were the only individual world records set in swimming all year, since high-tech bodysuits were banned at the beginning of 2010.

The only events Lochte didn’t win in Dubai were two relays. The U.S. was second in the 800 freestyle and finished fourth in the 400 free. If Phelps and a couple other missing Americans had been there to help, eight golds would certainly have been within reach for Lochte.

“We all think he can do eight events,” Marsh said. “The great thing about him is he’s very coachable. He proved at the last Olympic trials that he can handle short doubles and he has a good capacity for recovery.”

S B Football • Friedgen fired as Maryland coach: Ralph Friedgen was fired as Maryland’s football coach Monday, effective after the Military Bowl on Dec. 29. Friedgen received $2 million to cover the final year of his contract in 2011. Athletic director Kevin Anderson intended to immediately form a search committee to find Friedgen’s replacement, and acknowledged that former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is on his preliminary list. There’s been speculation for days about Friedgen’s status, and the possibility that Leach could be his successor. Asked about other names on the list, Anderson declined comment. Anderson intends to have the position filled by Jan. 4.

• Former QB Ryan Leaf signs deal to write 3 books: Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf said he will write three books about his life, football career and addiction to painkillers. The deal was announced Monday by Crimson Oak Publishing, a Pullman, Wash.-based publisher that bills itself as specializing in books about “hope, possibility and determination.” Leaf confirmed the book deal but declined to comment further.

Basketball • NBA completes Hornets purchase: The NBA has completed its purchase of the New Orleans Hornets. The league announced Monday that its board of governors has given its anticipated approval of the purchase. NBA Commissioner David Stern announced Dec. 6 that the NBA intended to buy the Hornets from majority owner George Shinn and minority owner Gary Chouest. Shinn had been trying to sell the club to Chouest since last spring but negotiations had stalled.

Baseball • Nuns’ Honus Wagner card goes to new buyer: A new buyer has emerged for the rare Honus Wagner baseball card that was bequeathed to an order of Roman Catholic nuns in Baltimore. The card was sold at auction last month for $220,000, but the winning bidder never paid. So Dallas-based Heritage Auctions contacted one of its longtime clients, a Philadelphia cardiologist, who immediately agreed to buy the card for the same price.

Recently traded Greinke likes the attitude of Brewers

By Colin Fly The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Zack Greinke loves the attitude of the Milwaukee Brewers and their willingness to try to reach the postseason immediately.

“The main reason I wanted to get out, I mean, preferred to get out of Kansas City, is I wanted to be on a team that was trying to win this year because as a pitcher you don’t really know how long your career is going to be,” Greinke said Monday, a day after he was acquired from the Royals in a

six-player trade.

After winning the AL Cy Young Award with a 16-8 record and 2.16 ERA in 2009, the 27-year-old right-hander slumped to 10-14 with a 4.17 ERA last season.

“Just really wanted to be in a place where they were playing to win games right away,” he said.

Since the end of the season, the Brewers also acquired Shaun Marcum to join a rotation that also includes holdover Yovani Gallardo. The new players join a core that includes All-Stars Prince

MLB Fielder, Ryan Braun and Corey Hart to go along with Rickie Weeks and Casey McGehee, closer John Axford and setup man Zach Braddock.

“They’ve got some really good offense on the team and they seem to have like an attitude about them, and I kind of like that,” said Greinke, who liked the swagger of former Brewers catcher Jason Kendall. “He was great for our team. I’m assuming that he got

some of his attitude from being in this organization.”

Fielder is eligible to become a free agent after the season. General manager Doug Melvin is content to keep the slugging first baseman for 2010. Fielder’s agent, Scott Boras, encourages clients to become free agents to maximize value before signing.

“Realistically, we’re done making major moves,” Melvin said. “I envision this club with Prince being the No. 4 hitter and having a big year for us.”

Melvin traded starting shortstop Al-

cides Escobar, center fielder Lorenzo Cain, top pitching prospect Jake Odorizzi and former first rounder Jeremy Jeffress to the Royals for Greinke, shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt and cash.

Melvin compared this trade to the one he pulled off to acquire CC Sabathia in 2008, except that Greinke has two remaining years under contract instead of a few months. Milwaukee needed a boost in its rotation after Sabathia and longtime ace Ben Sheets left as free agents after winning the NL wild card that season.

Aldridge leads Blazers to win The Associated Press PORTLAND — LaMarcus Aldridge is playing the best basketball of his career, and it could not come at a better time for the Portland Trail Blazers.

Aldridge had 29 points and a career-high 19 rebounds, and the Blazers shook off injury problems to rout the Milwaukee Bucks 106-80 Monday night.

“This is the best I have played,” Aldridge said. “Points in the paint, going to the basket, getting free throws, all those things are pretty high right now.”

Wesley Matthews added 22 points for the Blazers, who have won three in a row and had only eight players dressed after losing Dante Cunningham to a sprained right ankle early in the game. Rudy Fernandez added 17 points off the bench.

The Blazers were without AllStar Brandon Roy for the third straight game.

The 6-foot-11 Aldridge, averaging 19.1 points and 8.5 rebounds in his fifth NBA season, has rushed into the void left by Roy, who has missed six games this season and been uneven in

Milwaukee stalled in the second and the Blazers started compiling points. Nicolas Batum slammed down an alleyoop dunk and converted a free throw to make it 41-26. Aldridge put Portland up 52-31 after a three-point play, and the Blazers led by 24 at the half.

Salmons was scoreless in the first half, but he keyed a temporary Bucks comeback, scoring 14 of the team’s 25 points in third, and helping Milwaukee cut the lead to 18 by the end of the quarter.

Milwaukee got as close as 80-67 in the fourth after Earl Boykins made a 3-pointer, but Aldridge scored 11 in the period, and the Bucks got no closer. “(The Blazers) dominated the game, every facet, from start to finish,” Dooling said. “We didn’t start out well enough and they kept the pedal to the metal.”

NBA ROUNDUP

NBA SCOREBOARD

Mavericks cool off Heat The Associated Press MIAMI — The streak-busters of the NBA hail from Dallas.

And for whatever reason, unless there’s a championship at stake, the Miami Heat simply cannot beat the Mavericks.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 26 points, Jason Terry had all of his 19 in the final 11 minutes, and the Mavericks held LeBron James scoreless in the first half on the way to ending Miami’s 12-game winning streak with a 98-96 victory on Monday night.

It was Dallas’ 14th straight regular-season win over the Heat, and the Mavericks had been the most recent team to beat Miami this season, too.

Dallas has snapped six opponent winning streaks of at least five games this season — including a pair of 12-gamers, against San Antonio on Nov. 26 and now Miami’s.

“I don’t make a huge deal out of the streak,” Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. “We are just trying to play solid basketball and win as many games as we can.”

Terry has spoken often about how losing to Miami in the 2006 NBA finals still upsets him.

So while shooting at the East end of the court — the one over which the Heat championship banner softly sways — he put on a fourth-quarter show.

His biggest blow was a 3pointer with 1:25 left, putting Dallas up 89-85 after Nowitzki airballed a 3-pointer but Miami couldn’t get the rebound. Miami got within 91-90 on a threepoint play by James, but that was the last gasp.

“Jet finally showed up in the fourth,” Nowitzki said. “That’s what he does. He’s our finisher.

He’s our closer. He got hot.”

Miami was within one point four times in the final 6:27, but Dallas never relinquished the lead.

“Couple of crazy bounces ... and they capitalized,” Heat forward Chris Bosh said. “That’s how the night went for us.”

Caron Butler scored 13 for Dallas, which won despite giving up a 17-0 run in the first half and a 13-0 run in the third quarter.

Dwyane Wade scored 22 points, while James and Bosh each scored 19 for Miami. By the time Wade hit a meaningless 3-pointer with 0.8 seconds

Dallas Mavericks’ Shawn Marion, left, congratulates Jason Terry after Terry scored against the Miami Heat in the fourth quarter of Monday’s game in Miami. The Mavericks won 98-96. remaining, James was already tugging at his jersey and heading off the floor.

“All year, we’re going to continue to get better, to improve to get to the elite level,” Wade said.

“We’re 30 games in. These elite teams, they’ve been playing together for a long time.”

Mario Chalmers had 13 points and James Jones added 10 for Miami. Shawn Marion finished with 13 rebounds and Tyson Chandler grabbed 10 for Dallas.

Terry simply took over in the final 12 minutes, shooting six of 10 from the field. His teammates shot three of 10, Nowitzki going zero of five.

Somehow, it was enough.

“Bottom line is they made bigger plays down the stretch more consistently than we did,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

The first half had about as many story lines as it had minutes.

Dallas came out flying, running out to a 14-2 lead and looking every bit like the team that has dominated Miami since the start of the 2004-05 season, and the Mavericks’ zone defense was giving the Heat fits.

“They can get you off-balance,” James said. “Definitely.”

Coach K tied for No. 2 after Duke victory The Associated Press

Gerry Broome / The Associated Press

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski talks with Nolan Smith during the first half of Monday’s game against Elon in Durham, N.C. No. 1 Duke won 98-72.

DURHAM, N.C. — Kyle Singler scored 24 points to help No. 1 Duke beat Elon 98-72 on Monday night, moving coach Mike Krzyzewski into a tie for second place on the all-time wins list.

Nolan Smith added 22 points as the Blue Devils (11-0) gave their Hall of Fame coach his 879th win in 36 seasons at Duke and Army. Krzyzewski is now tied with Dean Smith, who spent 36 seasons at rival North Carolina before retiring in 1997 as the winningest coach Division I history.

Krzyzewski can pass Smith by beating North Carolina-Greensboro at the Greensboro Coliseum on Dec. 29. That would leave only Bobby Knight ahead of him, as Knight passed Smith with 902 wins before retiring almost three years ago.

Andre Dawkins scored 17 off the bench for Duke, which took control with a 14-0 first-half run but couldn’t put away the Phoenix (4-7) until the final 6 minutes.

NHL ROUNDUP

Bears beat Vikings, win division

Goalie stops 45 shots as Ducks shut out Bruins

By Dave Campbell The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Brett Favre was bundled up in a heavy gray coat by the time Devin Hester sped through the snow with his record-setting return.

Favre’s surprise start ended with a concussion, perhaps putting him out for good, and the Chicago Bears emerged from the first outdoor game in Minnesota in 29 years with another NFC North title.

Hester set the NFL record with his 14th kick return touchdown, running back a punt 64 yards for a score shortly after halftime to help the Bears fly past the Minnesota Vikings 40-14 on a frosty, hard-hitting Monday night.

“You play long enough, you’re going to get your bell rung,” Favre said.

Jay Cutler threw three touchdown passes for the Bears (10-4), who last won this division during their 2006 Super Bowl season. Hester caught one of those scoring tosses and also took back the second-half kickoff 79 yards to set up a field goal a few minutes before his game-breaking punt return made it 27-7.

That was Hester’s 14th career return touchdown, kickoff or punt, breaking Brian Mitchell’s previous mark.

“We haven’t peaked yet,” Bears coach Lovie Smith said.

Favre finished five for seven for 63 yards, and the Vikings (5-9) fell apart in front of their proud alumni in town for the franchise’s 50th-anniversary celebration featuring all kinds of blasts from the past.

With the Metrodome unusable because of a roof collapse, the game got moved to the University of Minnesota. TCF Bank Stadium was about 80 percent full, with snowballs flying from the seats — sometimes hitting players — and plenty of frolicking in the flakes.

Favre wasn’t even supposed to play. His sprained throwing shoulder hurt too much for him to practice this week, and his NFL-record starts streak of 297 regular-season games was already over after sitting out the previous week.

But after feeling better when he woke up on Monday, according to

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joe Webb (14) loses the ball as he is hit by Chicago Bears defensive tackle Israel Idonije (71) during the second half of Monday’s game in Minneapolis. The Bears rolled to a 40-14 victory. the Vikings, Favre wanted to try. He passed his pregame throwing test and trotted out in front of the Minnesota fans one last time, finding Percy Harvin for a 23-yard TD to give the Vikings a 7-0 lead after the opening drive.

Favre managed one more joyful jump on a teammate’s back to celebrate a touchdown, piggybacking right guard Ryan Cook before embracing Harvin and raising his left arm in triumph as he jogged off.

“It was a great opening drive,” Favre said. “I probably should’ve went straight up the tunnel after that. But again — you’ve got to try sometimes.”

Henry Melton tipped Favre’s pass on the next Minnesota possession, Julius Peppers intercepted it at the 14 and Robbie Gould kicked a field goal.

NFL gives nearly $1 million to concussion research NEW YORK — The NFL’s charitable foundation is awarding nearly $1 million in grants for research related to concussions, an issue in the forefront all season.

NFL Charities is donating a total of $1.6 million for sports-related medical studies at 16 organizations this year, including a record $988,224 to 10 groups focusing on head injuries and neurological problems.

None of the $1.5 million handed out in 2009 went to concussion research, although the league had funded such work in previous years. The NFL office and the foundation combined to support more than $5 million in ongoing research on brain injuries over the previous decade.

The league already has donated $1 million to Boston University this year.

The studies receiving grants from NFL Charities in 2010 include research on concussions in youth football players, the effects of concussions on brain cells and behavior, and dementia in retired NFL players.

“These grants will help to address risk factors for football players and all athletes, and make the game safer,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a release Monday.

Carroll: Hasselbeck still Seattle’s No. 1 QB

By Tim Booth The Associated Press

RENTON, Wash. — Pete Carroll spent part of Monday just watching.

The Seahawks coach wanted to see how Matt Hasselbeck reacted in meetings to the blunt criticism of all the mistakes he’s made recently. Then Carroll sat down with Hasselbeck to make certain he was in the right state mentally after having been booed off the field less than 24 hours earlier.

With a division title still obtainable — even at 6-8 — Carroll decided he’s going to stick with his veteran quarterback instead of making a change to unproven backup Charlie Whitehurst.

“We’re going with Matt. Matt’s been our quarterback, he’s given us a chance all throughout, the best chance to finish off right and I’m excited in that sense he’s going to pull this thing together,” Carroll said Monday afternoon. “We’ve got to play well around him. We’ve got to take care of the quarterback in all ways, protection-wise, running the football, we need to play better on defense so it’s not all tuned where the focus is to one guy and people can try and point the finger.”

Carroll put to rest what tions and losing a fumble could have been a lingering that resulted in a Falcons debate all week as the Setouchdown.

London Continued from D1 Lochte already beat Phelps in the 200 IM and 200 backstroke at the U.S. championships this summer, then won six golds to Phelps’ five at the Pan Pacific Championships in August.

“Eight gold medals is pretty impossible to surpass, but Ryan is definitely holding his own and I think the rivalry between the two will only make both of them better,” said three-time Olympic champion Natalie Coughlin, who used to swim a grueling multievent program. “Right now Ryan is swimming very, very well.”

The next major duel between Lochte and Phelps should come in July at the long-course worlds in Shanghai. Then it’s on to the U.S. trials and London.

Lochte has not yet calculated how many events he plans to swim in London.

“I’m just racing, and however many events I’m able to do, I’ll do it,” he said.

“But I just like racing, so it could be one event, it could be 20, as long as I’m racing and having fun it doesn’t matter.”

Lochte was clearly having fun Sunday, when all of his skills were on display with three gold-medal performances in the space of two hours.

Silver medalists Garrett Weber-Gale, from left, Peter Vanderkaay, Richard Berens, and Ryan Lochte from the United States pose during the medal ceremony for the Men’s 4x200 meter Freestyle final at the FINA Short Course Swimming World Championships, Thursday in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Lochte led off his busy final night by posting a championship-record 1:46.68 in the 200 back, a massive 2.41 ahead of American teammate Tyler Clary — who is emerging as a possible successor to Phelps and Lochte.

Fighting off fatigue, Lochte then won the 100 IM in 50.86. He was 0.05 off his semifinal time but still 0.83

ahead of runner-up Markus Deibler of Germany.

It was Lochte’s last race, however, that was most impressive.

In the medley relay, Russia held a solid lead through two legs when Lochte dived in and powered past world champion and world record holder Evgeny Korotyshkin in the

Hasselbeck has admitted feeling as though he needed to force things.

“Looking back, I seem to do stupid things when we’re losing. When we’re down by two touchdowns or more, that’s where I have to be way smarter.

That’s where I’ve really failed recently. That’s on me. I know better. You have to learn the lesson the hard way, and I just have to be smarter in those kind of situations.”

Carroll said he was pleased with how Whitehurst played when he entered, but the decision to continue with the struggling Hasselbeck is another statement on how the Seahawks view Whitehurst. Seattle traded a second-round pick to San Diego and signed Whitehurst to an $8 million, two-year deal with incentives last offseason with the hope he would compete for the starting job that Hasselbeck clearly won.

Whitehurst was eight of 16 for 83 yards in about one quarter of action on Sunday.

“He did handle himself very well yesterday, did a nice job handling the situation, and if we need him we’ll call on him,” Carroll said. “Maybe just in that sense I feel better about him, you know, under those circumstances.”

butterfly leg. Garrett Weber-Gale maintained the lead and Lochte celebrated on deck the Americans’ first relay victory of the competition.

That Lochte swam so well in the butterfly leg was especially significant. That’s the leg that Phelps usually swims, and butterfly is far from Lochte’s best stroke.

Opponents have taken note.

“If he brings his A-game to the Olympics I don’t have a chance,” said Austrian rival Markus Rogan, who handed Lochte a couple losses at a recent short-course meet.

Rogan, Hungary’s Laszlo Cseh and Clary are shaping up as the top challengers to Lochte in the medley events, where Phelps’ status is in question.

“He has nothing to prove, that’s the problem,” said Rogan, who is not even sure Lochte’s performance in Dubai will motivate Phelps. “He needs a little bit of a bigger jolt.”

After collecting his award as the Dubai meet’s top swimmer, Lochte ran out of the arena to catch a plane home.

“I’m going to get right back in the pool,” he said. “I’ll take two or three days off for Christmas, but other than that it’s right into training and then get ready for Shanghai.”

And London.

BOSTON — What Jonas Hiller liked best about his second shutout of the season was the way his defense helped him out.

“If we play like that every single game, with guys out there blocking shots, we’ve got a good chance to win,” the Anaheim goalie said Monday night after stopping 45 shots to lead the Ducks to a 3-0 victory over the Boston Bruins.

Rookie Brandon McMillan had his first career multipoint game to help Anaheim snap a two-game skid on a season-high seven-game road trip. Lubomir Visnovsky and Corey Perry also scored and Teemu Selanne had two assists for the Ducks, who play in Buffalo on Tuesday.

It was the eighth shutout of Hiller’s career.

“Jonas was in a zone and really stole the show,” Ducks forward Bobby Ryan said.

Tim Thomas made 22 saves for Boston but fell to 15-4-3 on the season. Three of his four regulation losses have come when the Bruins failed to score.

“Our goalies have been battling back there for us every night,” Boston forward Marc Savard said. “But we’ve got to give them some support.”

With the season not even halfway over, coach Claude Julien noted that the Bruins could have tied Northeast Division-leading Montreal with a victory and moved into third place in the Eastern Conference standings. Instead, Boston is in the eighth spot for a playoff race that won’t begin in earnest for another couple of months.

“When you’ve got a chance to move up five spots, it’s unacceptable,” Julien said. “This game’s about emotion. I think that’s the thing that really irked me. We should have been excited to play this game and move up five.”

McMillan doubled his career totals with one goal and one assist. He gave the Ducks the lead when he slammed home the rebound of Luca Sbisa’s shot less than 6 minutes into the game.

Anaheim made it 2-0 in the second when Selanne put a wrist shot on net and then followed his own rebound, swinging and missing with his backhand. But Visnovsky was right behind him, and he put it past Thomas.

Perry scored a short-handed goal to make it 3-0 with less than 5 minutes left in the second period, making a drag move in front of the net before beating Thomas on the stick side.

“It was kind of a weird game, from my perspective,” Thomas said. “Not a lot of action and then all of the sudden something funny will happen.”

The Bruins outshot Anaheim in every period — including 18-8 in the second — but still lost for the fourth time in five games. Boston beat Washington on Saturday to snap a season-high three-game losing streak.

“It’s been stale, our offense,” Savard said.

“Claude’s trying. He can’t yell at us every single night. It’s on the guys in this room, too.”

Snowshoeing Continued from D1 Going on a guided tour is a good idea for first-timers; Wanderlust Tours is a popular local option, and Silver Sneakers Guide Service, also based in Central Oregon, is geared toward the over-50 crowd. You can also meet at Mt. Bachelor with a naturalist from the U.S. Forest Service for a free interpretive snowshoe tour.

With the guided tours, snowshoes are provided, you do not have to worry about navigating, and you might find yourself learning something along the way.

“Part of our job as naturalist guides is to educate our guests about what they’re seeing out there in the forest,” Checketts says of the guides at Wanderlust.

For those who prefer a self-guided snowshoe experience, rentals and purchases are available at retail outlets such as Pine Mountain Sports, REI, Powder House and Mountain Supply of Oregon, which are all located in Bend. Rental costs can range from about $10 to $25 for a full day, depending on the retailer, who might also offer discounts for half-day or multiple-day rentals.

You can also rent snowshoes at Mt. Bachelor ski area and Willamette Pass Resort and explore those areas, or take the time to check out one of Central Oregon’s many sno-parks.

For newbies who want to explore without a guide, Checketts recommends the sno-park route rather than going off into the backcountry.

“It’s pretty easy to navigate around, and there’s lots of people there in the snoparks,” Checketts explains. “If you get into trouble, somebody will come along eventually to help you.”

If you do check out the sno-parks, be sure to buy a permit before you head out. One-day permits cost $4, three-day (consecutive) permits cost $9, and annual permits cost $25. The fine for parking in a designated winter recreation area without a permit is $30.

Permits can be purchased at the DMV or through agents such as resorts and retail outlets; agents can charge an additional fee.

Keep in mind also that area sno-parks offer varying combinations of designated snowshoe trails, nordic skiing trails and snowmobile trails. Proper etiquette on skiing trails is to stay at least two feet to either side of set ski tracks; on shared-use snowmobiling trails, move to the edge of the trail when snowmobiles or ATVs are nearby.

For more information about Oregon’s sno-parks, go to http://www.odot.state. or.us/forms/dmv/6642.pdf. For U.S. Forest Service maps of a number of the region’s sno-parks, go to http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/ centraloregon/recreation/winter/wintermaps.shtml.

When snowshoers — even experienced ones — get into trouble, “it’s usually because they’re by their selves, they’re not prepared for what can happen out there,” he says.

So be ready, so you can enjoy the experience of one of the most accessible snow sports.

“Snowshoeing is definitely the easiest to learn,” Checketts says, “and to me, I think it’s the most intimate of all the winter activities, too.”

On more than one occasion, especially when shuffling between campus and my residence during college, I found myself musing about why I walked when I could run or bike to my destination so much faster.

Well, as I discovered last week during a trip coordinated by Central Oregon’s Wanderlust Tours, snowshoeing is not walking. Actually, it is, but I found it to be a much more enjoyable activity than my standard pedestrian jaunts.

Checketts drove us along Century Drive toward Mount Bachelor until we reached our starting point.

Safely off the edge of the highway, Checketts explained how to strap ourselves into the snowshoes. Then, after a few words of encouragement from our guide — “If you can walk, you can snowshoe” — we proceeded apace into the woods, heading toward the summit of Kapka Butte.

I found Checkett’s adage to be true. At first, the snowshoes felt a little awkward, and I found that any lateral movement in my strides — rather than each step moving completely forward — might result in me tripping myself.

But overall, I grew accustomed to the snowshoes rather quickly and with little instruction needed.

As our group of four traversed the backcountry, Checketts often stopped us to point out animal tracks and habitats, different types of trees and how to identify them, and some of the vegetation that grows on the trees, such as lichen.

My favorite example was the subalpine fir. Checketts instructed us to take a few needles from the tree and break them in half. When I did, the resulting smell was exactly like Christmas, causing me to recall the scent of the many trees in my parents’ home over the years during the holidays.

We reached our destination near the Kapka Butte summit not long after sunset, with the sky glowing orange, and we could see several other buttes and the lights of Mt. Bachelor’s Pine Marten Lodge twinkling off in the distance. And on the return trip, the moon often peeked through the clouds to illuminate our tracks, and the shadows of the forest lay silent on the snow, which, in the light of my headlamp, sparkled as bright as any diamond. Far above in the night sky, Venus and the stars shone. The forest was quiet and still.

So quiet and still, in fact, that when our group arrived back at the highway, the sound of the first vehicle passing by was actually jarring. I was surprised at how quickly I had adjusted to the silence of the woods, and to my snowshoes; my first few steps after taking them off reminded me of the wobbly-legged sensation I feel when walking right after stepping off a treadmill.

Now that I have gone snowshoeing, I can see the appeal: It isn’t difficult or time-consuming to learn, and it is a fairly cost-effective sport.

Individuals of disparate ages can participate together, and routes exist for a variety of skill and fitness levels. I actually got a pretty good workout in, going up and down hills and dodging obstacles — all at altitude. And it really is hard to beat the setting.

In the end, I have to say that I’m still not the biggest fan of walking.

But snowshoeing? It just might make my list.

Quick tips: The essentials 1. Be a good Boy Scout. Always be prepared for the worst to happen when you are out snowshoeing.

Wanderlust Tours guide Joe Checketts recommends carrying a GPS (and extra batteries) in case you get lost or your tracks get covered up.

But don’t stop there. “A little hand-held compass is great, too, especially when it’s whiteout condition out there, and you can’t get your bearings from landmarks,” Checketts says.

Other essential items, he adds, include water, energy bars or some other type of snack, a first-aid kit, a lighter, matches, and extra layers of clothing. He also carries a headlamp no matter what time of day he ventures out.

2. Beware tree wells. Tree wells are the hollow areas immediately around tree trucks where snow does not accumulate, Checketts explains, and they form from solar radiation melting the snow around the tree and from branches preventing snow from reaching the trunk of the tree.

“A lot of times those tree wells form several feet around the base of the tree, and then they’ll get covered with a thin layer of snow,” Checketts says. “And so people will step on them thinking there’s a solid structure underneath there, and there’s not.”

Unwary snow enthusiasts can sink more than a dozen feet into these tree wells, Checketts says, depending on the depth of the well, and then get stuck. Checketts recommends giving trees a wide berth — tree wells can form even near trees lying horizontally on the ground — and testing areas near trees with just one foot.

3. Be kind to Mother Earth. We humans have basic responsibilities while traipsing through the woods.

While snowshoeing, Checketts says, try to adhere to the “leave no trace” philosophy, which means do not litter, leave the environment as you find it, or better — pick up litter if you encounter it. Also, do not break branches off trees, or pester wildlife or their habitats.

“If you break a living branch off a tree,” Checketts says, “it reduces the tree’s capacity to photosynthesize. And that branch could be habitat for a forest creature.”

On-call equine vets life savers over holidays

By Linda Weiford For The Bulletin

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Rick Samco, sitting with a mat and robots from this year’s competition, started the local LEGO Robotics tournament in Bend eight years ago.

Samco recently announced that the tournament held in Bend earlier this month was his last.

Many of us can kick back over the holidays and enjoy time off with our families.

Not so for Central Oregon’s on-call equine veterinarians. Instead, there’s a good chance they’ll get called away to give emergency care to sick or injured horses. Trying to diagnose a 1,200-pound patient who’s neighing, stomping and kicking is no small feat.

“I think a lot of horse owners take these vets for granted. They don’t “If they hadn’t been consider what they give up on call that night, to be on call I’d have lost him. to help our horses during If that’s not being the holidays,” Santa Claus, I don’t said Whitney Rhetts of know what is.”

We’re so fortunate to have providers locally who are willing to skip meals, leave their families and miss sleep to help our horses.”

ick Samco isn’t one to shy away from a challenge.

In 2003, leaders of the state’s LEGO Robotics organization asked Samco to start the first tournament east of the Cascades. Samco agreed to do it.

At the time, he knew virtually nothing about LEGO Robotics.

Since he had just moved to Central Oregon, recruiting volunteers would be complicated. Oh, and he had planned a monthlong trip to Nepal right before the tournament was slated to start.

“We had no idea what we were getting into,” Samco said.

Somehow the event went off without a hitch (probably a credit to Samco’s planning and the efforts of his wife, Martha).

Samco also discovered he loved working at the tournament. He felt energized watching the kids’ enthusiasm for engineering.

For the past eight years, Samco has led the event, coordinating volunteers, training judges, answering questions and negotiating logistics. During the five weeks before each event, he has spent about 120 hours working on the tournament.

But the tournament at Bend’s Mountain View High School two weeks ago will likely be Samco’s last. After eight years, he is ready to step back and let someone else take over.

Parents who lost a daughter are now in a different place Dear Abby: My beautiful 20year-old daughter was killed in a car accident. I am writing this not only for myself, but for all parents who have lost a child, and to all of the wonderful people who asked, “What can I do for you?”

At the time there wasn’t much anyone could do to help, but after two years I have an answer: Accept me for who I am NOW. When Rachel came into my life, it changed me profoundly.

Losing her did the same. Her father and I work hard to honor her memory, but we will never “get over it” to the degree of being who we were before. I am different now. In some ways — I think — better. I am kinder, more patient, more appreciative of small things, but I am not as outgoing nor as quick to laugh.

I know people mean well when they encourage me to get on with my life, but this IS my life.

My priorities have changed. My expectations of what my future will hold have changed. Please extend to me again the offer of “anything I can do” and, please, accept me as I am now.

— Different Now in Riverview, Fla. Dear Different Now: Please accept my profound sympathy for the tragic loss of your daughter.

I hope that your letter will help anyone who doesn’t understand that the death of a child is the most devastating loss parents can suffer and that the experience is life-changing. They may get beyond it, but they never get “over” it. To expect that they would is unrealistic, because it’s a wound that may become less visible but never goes away.

Dear Abby: My husband and I struggled for years to have children. After many attempts and disappointments we have exhausted all our options. It has been extremely difficult to accept.

My husband recently found his daughter from a previous relationship. He knew she existed, but his ex had kept the girl from him

www.OasisSpaofBend.com

DEAR ABBY for many years. He is now ecstatic and wants to spend every minute with her. He tells me how happy he is to have a daughter. I want to be supportive, but it kills me.

The girl appears to have no desire to have me in her life. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to view her as my stepdaughter. Yes, she’s my husband’s — but she is his, not “ours.”

I accept that my feelings are somewhat selfish, but I am not sure how to deal with them. I have been in and out of counseling with no change. Please help.

— Not a “Real” Mom Dear Not: Stop beating yourself up for having unpleasant feelings. If your description is accurate, your husband has allowed his daughter to “clique” you out.

While it’s understandable that because of their long separation his daughter could be fixated on him and vice versa, he should let her know that both of you will love her if she’ll give you the chance.

Look at it from her perspective. If she’s a young woman, she is dealing with a lot of emotions right now. Try to be patient, treat her warmly when you see her, and give her a chance to get to know you. Good relationships aren’t hatched fully formed; they take time to build.

Google TV faces delays, poor reviews

By Ashlee Vance and Claire Cain Miller

With Google TV receiving lackluster reviews, Google is planning revisions and has asked TV makers to delay device introductions, catching some of them off guard.

New York Times News Service

Google TV has just enacted its first programming cancellation.

The Consumer Electronics Show next month in Las Vegas was meant to be the great coming-out party for Google’s new software for televisions, which adds Web video and other computer smarts to TV sets. Although Google already has a deal with Sony for its Internet TVs, other television makers — Toshiba, LG Electronics and Sharp — were prepared to flaunt their versions of the systems.

But Google has asked the TV makers to delay their introductions, according to people familiar with the company’s plans, so that it can refine the software, which has received a lukewarm reception. The late request caught some of the manufacturers off guard. And it illustrates the struggles Google faces as it tries to expand into the tricky, unfamiliar realm of consumer electronics, and drum up broad interest in a Web-based TV product that consumers want.

Google has a long history of putting out new products and then revising them on the fly.

But in the consumer electronics market, companies place big, well-timed bets — to attract holiday buyers, say, or back-to-school shoppers.

Industry analysts also say Google’s sudden change of plans reflects a weakness in the company’s business culture around managing relationships with partners.

“Google as a company is not a particularly partner-friendly or partner-focused company,” said James McQuivey, an analyst at Forrester, who added that because of the delay, it might take another year before Google TV has a chance to catch fire.

New York Times News Service

Executives at the television makers played down the idea that they were reacting to an abrupt change in marching orders from Google, but according to people familiar with the negotiations, they were caught by surprise.

Gina Weakley, a Google spokeswoman, declined to discuss “rumors and speculation” about unannounced products.

“Our long-term goal is to collaborate with a broad community of consumer electronics manufacturers to help drive the next-generation TV-watching experience, and we look forward to working with other partners to bring more devices to market in the coming years,” Weakley said.

Under Sony’s deal with Google, the first Google TVs were shipped in October, starting at $600 for a 24-inch HD flat-screen unit to $1,400 for a 46-inch TV. Sony and Logitech also sell complementary appliances that let people tap into the Google TV software without replacing their televisions.

Samsung now appears set to be the only new entrant to the Google TV market at the show, where it will present two appliances similar to those from Sony and Logitech, according to

people familiar with the company’s plan. Vizio will also demonstrate its take on a Google TV, but will do so in private demonstrations off the show floor.

The Google TV products on the market are close to full-fledged computers. They run on Intel’s Atom chips, most often found in laptops, and can process software common on PCs. The biggest promise of Internet television — the ability to watch any show or movie at any time, streamed over the Web — is far from reality with Google TV. People can pay to watch shows or movies on demand using Netflix or Amazon on Google TV, and can watch regular TV programming.

The major networks, though, are not providing shows on Google TV, and NBC, CBS, ABC and Hulu have blocked people from watching full-length shows on their websites using Google TV. Google TV offers viewers other things they may not find

useful, like watching YouTube videos and showing friends vacation photos on a bigger screen, or monitoring ESPN.com while watching the game and writing Twitter posts about “Mad Men” on the same screen displaying the show.

Google promises to apply its main expertise — search — to the TV. Instead of the byzantine cable and DVR programming menus that viewers navigate today, with Google TV, they can search for the name of a show and see when it’s being broadcast and where it’s available online, in addition to viewing links to websites about the show and its actors.

But, so far, Google TV is not ready for prime time, according to consumer technology reviewers and some early customers.

Despite these limitations, the major TV makers were prepared to jump on the Google TV bandwagon. In particular, they hoped to blunt any lead established by Sony.

Now the TV makers have been asked to hold off on releasing products until Google completes the new version of its software, adding features like an application store.

“We will not be announcing a Toshiba TV or Blu-ray player or demonstrating the products at CES,” said Jeff Barney, the vice president of Toshiba’s digital products division. “We have an understanding with Google about the future product roadmap and will bring the right product out at the right time frame.”

TV’s best (and worst) of 2010

By Eric Deggans St. Petersburg Times

For a critic who has been paying attention, there is no better gift that keeps giving at the end of a long year than a few good lists.

Not just because it’s about doing what we love: telling you what we like most. It’s also a chance to set the flood of entertainment products, news events and trends into some kind of perspective. Spinning order from chaos, we build a story of our off-screen lives in the details of what we all choose to watch on the small screen.

My year-ending list of top TV and media trends will come later.

But there’s just too much going on for one list to cover, so I’m taking space here for stuff that was too quirky or crazy to make the big roster.

Most overrated show of 2010: “Glee.” Yeah, I said it. Not because I’m one of those haters who didn’t get the concept or twitches when a song breaks out.

Instead, I’m a stone fan who felt TV’s splashiest, snarkiest take on high school seriously lost its way this fall. In short: too many uneven episodes and bizarre character moves. (Supercool villain Sue Sylvester marrying herself?

Ham-handed messages on bullying and body image? Glee club teacher Will Schuester drowning in self-pity and selfish behavior?)

Consider this award the kind of tough love our beloved gleek crew needs to get whipped back into shape.

Most underrated show of 2010: “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.”

Like a teen growing into his daddy’s suits, Fallon has matured as a performer before our very eyes, turning his nice-guy persona into impish routines and finding the comedy voice of

Twitter and Facebook-obsessed Millennials. Nailing his Emmyhosting gig sealed the deal, and a recent viral hit joining Justin Timberlake belting out the history of rap was icing on the cake.

Forget about Jay, Conan or that other Jimmy; Fallon is the latest hope for network TV’s late-night comedy future.

Best band on TV: The Roots.

Allow this onetime music critic a brief return to form, noting how this amazingly funky and soulful rap band has backed everything from George Clooney’s Help Haiti Now benefit to Jon Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity. Somehow, this ill crew from Philly also found time to drop two amazing records in 2010: their own opus “How I Got Over” and the sparkling, socially conscious John Legend collabo “Wake Up.” Move over Paul Shaffer; looks like there’s a new powerhouse rocking the wee hours.

The shows I wish I had room for on my Top 10 list. Year-end lists often are the most arbitrary work we critics will do, and there are always shows that don’t quite make the cut. Here’s my list of almost faves that would have made next week’s list if I had 20 or 30 slots instead of 10.

“Friday Night Lights” (NBC): The best football-centered show that’s not about football at all.

“Treme” (HBO): A note-perfect elegy to New Orleans’ Katrina struggle dropped after America stopped caring.

“Rescue Me” (FX): The best distillation of what guys find funny and desperate in one package.

“Man v. Food” (Travel Channel): The coolest tribute to life-threatening gluttony on television.

“Deadliest Catch” (Discovery): We lost Capt. Phil and gained a landmark TV season.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2010: This year, the theme of the unexpected surrounds you. Don’t fight the course of events, and you’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel, if not the end itself. The only error you can make is to hold on to what isn’t working. If you are single, even if you are sure this person is “it,” take at least a year to commit. Someone better for you could be around the corner. If you are attached, the two of you need to re-establish some basics, resulting from your inner reflection. Trust in the process.

CANCER often challenges you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Even if you feel frenetic and act frenetic, understand that you are not the only one. Greet the Winter Solstice with a smile, knowing that you cannot be all things to all people.

Then breathe. Doesn’t that feel better? Tonight: A must appearance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Pressure builds, especially with last-minute gifts and details. If you can, take off or go to a concert, like the “Messiah.” You will be able to deal with today’s pressure better after a timeout. Don’t stand on ceremony if someone doesn’t call back. Call again. Tonight: Let your imagination lead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Defer all you want.

Understand that you cannot do everything, even if others want you to. Be aware of spending and

perhaps not only a last-minute need to spend but also an inner demand to be less extravagant.

Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your energy feeds off the Moon. Don’t worry if your energy fades; today’s Lunar Eclipse could drain you. Don’t put too many demands on yourself. No one can be on all the time! Tonight: Whatever makes you smile. Refuse to be triggered by a loved one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Take your time. Don’t react to pressure from friends or loved ones. You know where you are going. Sometimes it is best not to explain everything, even if someone demands just that. A little mystery proves to be extremely alluring. Tonight: No one can find you because ...

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Understand that people can and will reverse themselves.

Don’t get too stuck in letting them know you are right. That type of rigidity does nothing but distance people. Knowing you don’t want that coolness, focus on empathizing.

Tonight: Unpredictable at best.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH News from those at a distance could be quite startling, forcing you to regroup. Your intuition about a loved one or child could be more right-on than you realize. Don’t stand on ceremony over a misunderstanding.

Tonight: Could be late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Seek out an activity that allows some sense of detachment.

You easily could be overwhelmed

by everything that is happening.

The faster you let go of what is triggering you, the happier you will be. A child or loved one continues to be irascible. Tonight: Put on Christmas music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Extremes mark your moods and those you deal with.

Try lying low and not pushing any issue; otherwise, the end result could be a problem. Let a partner express his or her ideas and dominate. Tonight: Go for cozy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might feel as if you are on a seesaw, and in a sense you are!

As you juggle other people’s needs with your own, give up either/or thinking. Why can’t everyone have what he or she wants? Try to encompass more open thinking.

Tonight: Sort through invitations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Understand that you might not be able to accomplish what you want. Too much is happening around you over which you have little to no control. Maintain a strong hand with your personal finances. Don’t allow any impulse buying. Tonight: Early to bed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your playfulness, though well-intended, could upset someone.

Your creativity bubbles forth in nearly all situations, whether decorating a tree or handling a problem at work. A meeting or strong friend pushes hard to have you do what he or she wants.

Tonight: Where is the mistletoe?

C OV ER S T OR I ES

Equine vets Continued from E1 Those providers include the staff at Bend Equine Medical Center outside Tumalo. “We’ve always got people on call here,” said veterinarian and co-owner Wayne Schmotzer. “We feel obligated.”

Schmotzer, another vet and two technicians at the clinic will be on call this Christmas.

“Believe me, it’s nothing like being the lonely Maytag repairman with nothing to do,” said Schmotzer, who said he’s been on call during eight Christmases. “A lot can happen to horses in winter, and it’s not like they take time off during holidays.”

This time of year, it’s not unusual to get calls from people whose horses are ill with colic or injured by slipping on ice, said veterinarian Tim Phillips, of Desert Valley Equine Center in Redmond. Phillips, like Schmotzer, is on call this Christmas. This might mean hopping in his vehicle as snow pelts his windshield and driving to the location of the horse. If the horse is too sick or its injury too severe, it’s loaded onto a trailer and brought to the facility for treatment, he said.

“You can plop a dog or cat into your car and just go, but not when it’s a horse,” said Phillips.

“A horse thrashing from pain is not like a dog thrashing in pain.

They can harm themselves and others. We’re talking about a totally different level of care.”

“More attention, more drugs, more everything,” said Schmotzer, who, while recently giving a tour of Bend Equine, held up a 3-foot-long trachea tube

Samco Continued from E1 Samco, 61, was tapped to start the Bend tournament in part because he was moving to the area and knew one of the regional coordinators, Roger Swanson.

He also possesses a tremendous background in technology. Samco has been interested in tech since high school. In college, he discovered computers and computer programming. From there, he went on to work at Tektronix in Portland and then founded Mentor Graphics.

While many tournament directors have backgrounds in engineering or technology, no one has a background as exceptional as Samco’s, Swanson said.

“No one is like Rick,” he said.

Swanson said Samco brings tremendous enthusiasm and dedication to the work, all the more impressive because he doesn’t have any children involved in the program.

LEGO Robotics The Central Oregon tournament is part of the FIRST LEGO League, which is an international organization. Teams of kids ages 9-14 work together to build a robot using LEGO pieces and programmable components. They then program their robots to perform certain tasks, usually 10 to 12 missions, all on a 4-by-8-foot table. Each year teams are asked to accomplish different tasks based on a theme. This year’s theme was biomedical engineer-

the diameter of an Oreo cookie.

This time of year, even the best-intentioned horse owners can get blindsided when a little water drips off the roof of a barn or stable, then freezes, said Schmotzer. “We treat lots of horses for accidents that happen

that way,” he said, recalling a Christmas in Portland two-anda-half decades ago when he operated on a horse that had fallen on ice and fractured the bone above the knee. “The surgery to put in bone plates began at 11 p.m. The horse was in recovery by 5 a.m.

Not much later, I watched the sun rise.”

Another reason for equine ER calls during the holidays is colic, said Schmotzer, defined as abdominal pain that can range from mild to severe to life-threatening. While colic in horses has

a variety of causes, drinking too much eggnog isn’t one of them.

“Many owners go on vacation this time of year. Sometimes we see cases where whoever takes care of the horse feeds it different food and at different times than the horse is used to. That

ing, and one of the tasks was for the robots to repair a simulated broken “bone” and place a splint over it.

In addition to the way their robots perform, teams are judged on a research project, a teamwork challenge and how well they can explain certain aspects of their robots to judges. Top finishers from this year’s tournament will go on to compete at the state tournament in Hillsboro in January.

The program started in Oregon in 2001. The idea behind LEGO Robotics is to get kids interested in engineering, computer programming and science at an early age and to make those subjects fun.

Samco knows firsthand about the need to have more kids interested in these subjects because he found it difficult to find qualified people in Oregon to hire.

He hopes programs like this will energize kids and show them the potential of engineering and computer programming.

“We are born inquisitive and curious,” Samco said. “We are wired to solve problems like this.”

Over time, he says, many kids lose that.

Samco also credits LEGO Robotics with helping give geeks a forum to thrive. He calls it “sports for the mind.” These students are able to showcase their talents while learning teamwork and cooperation in a social environment.

“In my mind, it’s really important for a kid to have a passion,” Samco said.

And parents and other adults should feed that passion. “The more you can nurture that, the better,” he said.

high,” Samco said.

It takes about 50 volunteers to run the tournament each year.

About half are high school students, many of whom come from the robotics program at Mountain View High School. The rest are adults who are willing to dedicate a day and a half to the cause.

Over the years, the tournament grew to include 34 teams. Now, it has shrunk back down to 14.

Samco faults the recession, saying parents are less likely to have the extra time or money that participation requires. Samco estimates

it costs $600 to $700 to start up a team, but only about half as much for teams after the first year. A lot of scholarship money is available.

Most of teams hail from the Bend area. Samco said the tournament used to attract teams from Madras, Prineville, Klamath Falls and other outlying areas. He would like to see more participation in those areas.

The Samcos moved from Portland to Bend to take advantage of the outdoor opportunities here, from hiking to skiing.

He expects to spend more time on his growing interest in

The tournament Samco’s favorite part of the tournament is standing in “the pit.” This is where teams gather, usually in a school’s cafeteria, before and after they perform.

The kids get excited — they want to share what they know and try to make last-minute improvements. “By the end of the day, everyone goes away on a

can trigger colic.”

Sometimes, its causes are more complex and deadly. Just ask Debbie Withrow of Bend, whose 14-year-old Tennessee Walker named Mel would have died without emergency treatment one winter night six years ago, she said. After discovering him lying down and listless during his bed check, she phoned veterinarian Wendy Krebs, also of Bend Equine.

Krebs, who runs the clinic with Schmotzer, “drove out to my place, and wow, it was cold and icy that night,” recalled Withrow. Krebs determined the horse needed to be brought in to the clinic, where X-rays revealed that a portion of his intestine had twisted, said Withrow. This is the most serious form of colic, according to medical literature.

So while many Central Oregonians were sitting down to watch Jay Leno trade quips with guests on the Tonight Show, Schmotzer joined Krebs at the medical center where they put Mel under and opened his abdomen. “They told me he had only a 30 percent chance of surviving the night,” said Withrow.

The next morning, Withrow got a call with some good news.

Mel, who had made it through recovery, had bitten one of the technicians. “That’s good news?”

Withrow remembers asking. “ ‘That means he’s got attitude,’ they told me, so he’d probably survive.”

That was six years ago. Today Mel is 20. “If they hadn’t been on call that night, I’d have lost him,” said Withrow. “If that’s not being Santa Claus, I don’t know what is.”

photography. “It opens my eyes, slows me down and allows me to pay attention to my surroundings,” Samco said. He also loves all the high-tech toys that come with the hobby.

While Samco feels ready to step away, he also knows he’ll miss it. He doesn’t have anything on the horizon to replace it. But then, he wasn’t looking for anything eight years ago when he started the tournament.

Put it in the pot!

Spice up your next party (and split the cost) with a communal stew

By Jan Roberts-Dominguez • For The Bulletin

W

ith the holidays swirling around us, gathering with friends is essential.

But keeping it fuss-free and affordable are two equally desirable goals.

My husband remembers a stew dinner thrown by our pal Bill where everyone contributed an element for the pot. Whatever you brought was

tossed into the heavy, cast-iron Dutch oven. Steve claims it was one of the most delicious stews he’s every tasted.

A community stew or soup is a great way to share the cost of a party while keeping it fun and spirited. You never know what you’re going to end up with, which is part of the entertainment.

My niece’s husband hosted a similar stew event without providing the guests any form of direction beyond “I’ll furnish the beef. You guys just bring whatever you think will make it good.” Three different couples thought they were being clever by bringing what they thought would be the only alcoholic liquid, which is how the stew ended up with red wine, amber ale and whiskey in the broth. The verdict?

Outstanding.

I’ve shared my own concept for community cooking before, but it’s worth repeating within the context of this story. During my junior year in college, I lived next door to a student visiting from Pakistan. On Friday nights, a group of us would convene in his apartment for dinner. Each of us would bring a different vegetable for the pot, which my neighbor diced before tossing in. Then he’d pull half a dozen spices from his cupboard and start adding them to the simmering mélange. Pretty soon the apartment would be filled with the zesty aroma of chilies, cumin, fresh cilantro and coriander.

Once the vegetables reached an advanced stage of fork-tender, he would bring the pot into the living room and set it on a coffee table layered with newspapers.

We’d gather around to fill steaming-hot flour tortillas with the exotic mixture, then we’d fold the tortillas burrito-style, and gobble our creations out of hand.

Safely deal with dangerous branches

By Leon Pantenburg For The Bulletin

High wind or heavy snowfall from winter storms can damage landscape trees.

Branches can break, split or crack.

There is real potential for a broken branch to pull free and rip the bark

on the tree, or to fall and G A R cause damage to a structure. In fact, a heavy snowfall, combined with gusts of wind, will just about guarantee some sort of problem.

While it may be tempting to prop a ladder against the tree and try

own trimming skills, D E N your hold off. Loggers don’t call those half-broken, still-attached limbs “widow makers” for nothing.

What can you safely prune or trim yourself, and at what point should you call a tree-trimming

professional?

Situations will vary, of course, and a small, low-hanging branch can probably be safely handled by the property owner. But the higher you have to go up into the tree, the more dangerous it can become.

See Branches / F5

Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa. And he lives in La Pine.

Who knew?

As you may already suspect, Santa inhabits a remote forested land, and his house is green.

You’ll know you’re at the right house because there’s a candy cane pole right in front of the driveway. That pole measured 14 inches of new snow at our last visit. The other big clue that you’re at Santa’s house is the doorbell — it chimes the entire song “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” year-round.

“You’ve got to believe,” says William Walther, 65, La Pine’s resident Santa Claus. “I believe, I certainly do. Ho-ho-ho.”

COVER STORY

Stew

BEEF VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Continued from F1 My friend called this wonderful stew “sabji.”

Up until just a few years ago, I had thought the spelling was “sub-jee,” just from the way he pronounced it. It had never occurred to me to translate the word until a few years ago at my niece’s graduation party. Two of her fellow graduate students, both from India, and I were chatting about Indian food. I described the wonderful stew from my college days and ended with the ultimate question: “So have you ever heard of this creation, and can you tell me what ‘sub-jee’ actually means?”

The two women exchanged a knowing giggle, then in unison, unlocked the secret: “Vegetable!”

Vegetable stew. Of course.

Once home, I tracked down a box of “sabji” masala at a local Indian food market. When I opened the pouch, the spicy aroma with curry overtones instantly transported me to that college apartment.

Concepts to consider For your community stew event, it’s a good idea to have a few broth-like ingredients (canned is OK), as well as a few cans of diced tomatoes that will complement the ingredients your guests bring. And there’s no harm in nudging folks in a certain direction so that the base ingredients are somewhat harmonious. But you wouldn’t want to hinder genuine creativity! Some suggestions to throw out to attendees, depending on your style of stew or soup: • Chanterelles are in excellent supply this year, making them relatively affordable.

• Regional beers or wines will taste good in the pot as well as alongside, in a glass.

• Freshly cooked beans, rice and pasta are lovely, starchy foundations.

• Hearty root vegetables such as potatoes, parsnips, carrots and turnips always provide a sturdy, subtle background.

• The entire onion family — from leeks and yellow onions to garlic and shallots — brings an aromatic depth of flavor to any concoction.

The following recipes are perfect blueprints for a community stew. Simply assign friends to bring certain ingredients from the list. What a great way to share the cost of a delicious-but-inexpensive dinner.

POZOLE (MEXICAN PORK AND HOMINY STEW)

Parsnips, new potatoes, leeks, carrots and tomatoes lighten this robust beef stew to make a contemporary classic. Be sure to use a good, “drinkable” red wine. Serve with buttered noodles.

Makes 6 servings.

2 TBS olive oil 6 thick slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces 2 lbs boneless beef chuck, cut into 1inch cubes Freshly ground black pepper, to taste 5 leeks (about 1½ inches in diameter; white part and 2 inches green), well rinsed and coarsely chopped 6 carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch lengths 6 parsnips, peeled and cut into 3-inch lengths 2 TBS sugar

A wonderful stew on a brisk winter day. Made of pork and hominy (dried corn kernels), it is served with the cooking liquid plus assorted garnishes, including chopped onion, ground hot chilies, sliced radishes, shredded lettuce and lime wedges.

Traditionally, in Mexico, a small, fiery dried chili known as piquin is crumbled and served with this dish.

Makes 4 servings.

1½ C homemade or canned beef broth 1½ C good-quality dry red wine (such as a pinot noir or cabernet sauvignon) 2 TBS butter 2 TBS red currant jelly 2 tsp dried thyme leaves 8 sm red new potatoes, halved 6 cloves garlic, minced 6 ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped (or 2 16-oz cans) ½ C chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the bacon and cook over medium heat until fat is rendered, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a heavy flameproof casserole. Brown the beef in the same skillet, in small batches, over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the beef with pepper as it is cooking. Transfer the beef to the casserole with the bacon. Place the leeks, carrots and parsnips in the same skillet. Sprinkle them with the sugar and sauté over medium heat to caramelize them slightly, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Add the broth and wine to the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits. Swirl in the butter, red currant jelly and thyme. Cook for 1 minute, then pour over the meat in the casserole.

Add the potatoes and garlic to the casserole, and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, transfer to the oven and bake in a 350-degree oven for 1 hour.

Remove the casserole from the oven and add the reserved vegetables. Add the tomatoes and all but 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Stir to combine, then taste and adjust the seasonings, and return the casserole to the oven. Bake, uncovered, until the beef is tender, about 1 to 1½ hours more. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley, and serve.

SABJI STEW (formerly known as “Sub-jee”)

Here’s the recipe for the vegetable stew my college friend used to make. It’s one of my first encounters with the concept of a community stew — where everyone coming to the party contributes an element to the pot. Except for the cauliflower and potatoes, which are a necessary component, don’t take the remaining list of ingredients and amounts too seriously; this is a recipe for free-spirited cooks. The main idea with sabji is to use what vegetables you have on hand or truly love. And play with the seasonings a bit to strike a balance between fire and flavor.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

2 TBS olive oil ¼ lb fresh mushrooms, sliced 1 sm head cauliflower, cut into florets 4 med red or white potatoes 1 C chopped yellow onion 1 C sliced celery 1 finely minced jalapeño pepper 1 TBS finely minced cilantro 2 tsp cumin powder (see note) 2 tsp curry powder (see note) 1 or 2 cloves garlic, minced

½ to 1 tsp salt ¼ to ½ tsp coriander (see note) ¼ tsp cayenne Dash cinnamon 3 C chicken broth 6 to 8 flour tortillas About 2 C shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional; we didn’t use it in college, but I’ve since discovered it’s a nice touch) 3 fresh tomatoes, diced 1 C sour cream

In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until they release their juices and begin to brown. Stir in cauliflower, potatoes, onion, celery, jalapeño, cumin, curry, garlic, salt, coriander, cayenne, cinnamon and broth. Cover the pot and braise the mixture over medium heat for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.

To serve, heat the flour tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet until they are soft and pliable, turning once. Sprinkle with a little of the grated cheese and keep the tortilla in the pan until the cheese begins to melt. Have each diner spoon some of the vegetable mixture down the center of a tortilla, then top with diced fresh tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream. To eat, roll the tortilla around the filling, burrito-fashion.

Note on seasonings: If you have access to a well-stocked Indian food market, you can substitute the seasonings with about 2 tablespoons of sabji masala, which is a spice blend for vegetables.

CIOPPINO This is my favorite variation on the popular theme of fish stew.

What makes it especially great during the holidays is the fact that the tomato base can be prepared ahead (days and days ahead, or frozen). Then, you could assign folks a specific fish to bring for the pot. Just make sure the ingredients are fresh, fresh, fresh! Right before you’re ready to serve, you can heat up the zesty tomato base in a large stew pot and begin adding the fish and shellfish in the appropriate order so that everything turns out tender and cooked to perfection.

Makes about 8 generous servings of 2¼ cups each (or 10 to 12 potluck servings).

FOR THE STEW BASE: 2 TBS oil 2 C chopped onion 4 fresh cloves garlic, minced 16 oz salsa 5 cans ( 14.5-oz each) diced tomatoes (see note below) 1½ C dry white wine, such as pinot blanc, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris or an Oregon chardonnay 2 tsp each dried (or 1 TBS each fresh): basil, thyme, marjoram and oregano

1 bay leaf ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper ½ C chopped fresh parsley Salt and additional pepper to taste RECOMMENDED FISH: ¾ lb red snapper ¾ lb halibut ½ lb scallops 1 lb steamer clams (optional, but very tasty) 2 C shrimp meat

Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot and sauté the onions and garlic over medium-high heat until the onions are tender. Stir in the salsa, tomatoes, wine, herbs, black pepper and parsley, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened enough to have enough substance to coat a spoon. The stew base may be refrigerated at this point for several days (or even frozen for up to 4 or 5 months).

When ready to assemble the cioppino, bring the tomato mixture to a boil. Cut the snapper and halibut into ½- to 1-inch chunks, add to the broth and simmer until just barely cooked through. Add the scallops and clams and cook just until the clams open (discard any clams that don’t open). Add the shrimp and remove the pot from the burner; the shrimp will heat through nicely and not become tough.

Add salt and additional fresh ground black pepper to taste.

Note on diced tomatoes: I use 1 can of diced tomatoes with jalapeño and 4 cans of regular diced tomatoes. That little bit of jalapeño adds just enough zip. However, if you think you’ll be serving some very sensitive palates, just use 5 cans of regular diced tomatoes.

1½ lbs of pork chops (about 4 ¾-inch-thick chops) 2 chicken legs and thighs (about 1½ lbs) 2 TBS extra-virgin olive oil 6 C chicken broth 1 lg onion, peeled and quartered 1 lg clove garlic, peeled Salt to taste 1 to 2 TBS chopped green hot peppers (such as jalapeño) 12 black peppercorns 2½ C drained canned hominy 1 sm head iceberg lettuce, shredded 12 radishes, sliced 1 lime, quartered ½ C finely chopped red onion Cut the bones from the chops but reserve both the meat and the bones. Remove fat from the meat and then cut the meat into 1-inch cubes. Remove as much skin from the chicken legs and thighs as possible.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over mediumhigh heat. Add the pork pieces and bone, and the chicken; brown the meat on all sides.

Add the broth, quartered onion, garlic, salt, peppers and peppercorns. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, 45 minutes or until the meat is quite tender.

Remove the pork and chicken.

When cool enough to handle, remove and discard the bones from the chicken. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces. Strain the broth into another small kettle or saucepan. Add the meats and hominy, and bring to a boil.

Serve with the lettuce, radishes, lime and red onion on the side.

F Entertain with ease with 1-bite wonders

By Wendy Donahue Chicago Tribune

A holiday open house often means open season on the host’s resources. Whether you use a caterer or prepare the food yourself, it’s possible to offer guests a feast for their senses without a feast on your nerves.

One secret to simple sophistication: “One-bite wonders,” said Elaina Vazquez, owner and executive chef of Chicago catering company Boutique Bites.

“They’re not messy and there’s not a lot involved.”

Guests appreciate smaller hors d’oeuvres over four- or five-bite appetizers. “You pop it in your mouth and it’s done,” she said.

No fumbling with crumbling foundations or talking with your mouth full.

Restaurant-quality nibbles, not standard chips and salsa, are feasible and affordable even for the do-it-yourselfer. Vazquez advises starting with inexpensive, versatile and hearty ingredients such as polenta, chorizo and pasta.

A sauce adds instant zing. Plus, most sauces can be made the day before, then heated in the microwave the day of. “I don’t even dirty a sauce pan,” Vazquez said.

Polenta cakes with tomato jam and goat cheese, and dates with chorizo are elegant but easy.

“People don’t think about polenta. But there’s so much you can do to it. You can add different herbs. Chopped tarragon.

Saffron. Every single time, at our tasting events, clients always choose it.”

Focus on complementary bites.

“I always incorporate one spicy and one or two comfort ones, and then I usually like to have one upscale one, like a buckwheatflour blini with smoked salmon and creme fraiche.”

As a ballpark estimate, for an hors d’oeuvres and cocktail party, Vazquez recommends planning 10 to 12 bites per guest per hour and a half. A rough budget for a DIY host would be about $7 to $10 a person; for catered bites, $15 to $20.

This week we’ll stretch our usual recipe cooking time of 30 minutes to 45 minutes, just to accommodate this delicious chili recipe from “Good Meat: The Complete Guide to Sourcing

and Cooking Sustainable Meat” (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, $40),

by Deborah Krasner.

The chili’s smoky flavor comes from the Spanish paprika called pimenton, which makes the stew taste as if it cooked for hours. Look for it in

well-stocked supermarkets or spice stores. Serve the chili with warm cornbread.

Tip: Add a chopped canned of chipotle chili for more heat.

Beverage suggestion: Try this chili with a Mexican lager or zinfandel.

Makes 6 servings.

1 lb ground pork 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, chopped 1 TBS ground cumin 2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika ½ tsp each: chili powder, salt Freshly ground pepper ¼ C red wine 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes 2 cans (14 oz each) cannellini beans, drained, rinsed ½ D chopped cilantro Sour cream, lime wedges Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat; add pork. Brown the meat, breaking up into pieces, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove meat with slotted spoon to a bowl. Reduce heat to low; add garlic and onion. Cook, stirring, until onion wilts, about 3 minutes. Add the cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, 1 minute.

Pour in wine, stirring up browned bits; cook 5 minutes. Add cooked meat, tomatoes and beans; cover. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Season to taste. Serve in large bowls topped with cilantro and a spoonful of sour cream. Serve lime wedges on the side.

Tips from caterer Elaina Vazquez AVOID: • A one-dimensional table.

“Height is always a good thing.

I use risers, and you can get them at CB2 or Crate & Barrel,” Vazquez said. Even cake pans can be pulled out to add height.

• Chips and salsa. Guests standing at the bowl can create a blockade.

• Olives with pits. “You can find any kind of olive pitted.”

HAVE ON HAND: • Sufficient glassware. “You don’t really want to be washing and drying to replenish,” Vazquez said. “You don’t have to go out and buy it, you can rent it — or there are nice options in disposables.”

• A shot glass or other vessel for disposal of toothpicks/ skewers. (Place on the side of the platter and stick one pick in it, so guests know what it’s for.)

Shred your Brussels sprouts for a tasty dish

Bill Hogan / Chicago Tribune

This chili’s smoky flavor comes from the Spanish paprika called pimenton, which makes the stew taste as if it cooked for hours.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CRANBERRIES AND GINGER Makes 8 servings. ⁄2 C dried sweetened cranberries, coarsely chopped 1 ⁄4 C (11⁄2 oz) crystallized ginger, chopped 1 ⁄2 C low-sodium or homemade chicken broth

2 TBS unsalted butter 1 TBS olive oil 3 to 4 med shallots, finely chopped (3⁄4 C) Salt 11⁄2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed, cut in half, then cut into thin shreds

By Stephanie Witt Sedgwick Special to The Washington Post

Here is a lovely and flavorful way to prepare this fall-winter vegetable. By shredding the sprouts as you would cut cabbage for a slaw, you change their character: Their cabbage taste is muted, they retain a wonderful texture and the tastes are fresh. Candied ginger and dried cranberries add a seasonal touch, and a little butter rounds out the flavor.

Though this dish cooks quickly, it involves a great deal of cutting and chopping.

The good news: That prep work can be done in advance, and the dish can be served at room temperature.

Crystallized ginger is available at Whole Foods Markets and specialty shops and is a holiday season item at many supermarkets.

Heat the butter and oil in a large, shallow skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat.

When the butter has melted, add the shallots and the salt to taste; cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the shallots soften.

Add the shredded sprouts, cranberries, ginger and broth; cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring and turning the sprouts until they are barely tender yet still slightly crunchy.

Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed; serve hot or at room temperature.

COVER STORY

Santa Continued from F1 At times, speaking with Walther feels like being in the movie “Miracle on 34th Street” because there is magic behind this man with a white beard, and his eyes have a genuine twinkle behind his spectacles.

“Well, of course, I have to wear my glasses, because of the long list of children — I have to read who’s been naughty and nice,” he says.

Where Walther leaves off, Santa begins, and it’s often hard to distinguish where one ends and the other begins.

Walther, who’s been Santa Claus for the Bend River Promenade (formerly Bend River Mall) for nearly a quarter of a century, has seen three generations of some families in Central Oregon, and it gives him great pleasure when they come in with their family photo albums to show him.

“The kids grow up, but you know what? Santa never ages, he’s always 65 years old,” says Walther. And he should know.

Walther has written five volumes of self-published books on Santa and his history. The first

LEARN GOLF AT HOME! Bend’s Golf Doctor and PGA Life Member Bill Martin will make house calls!

Learn your swing before you ever hit a golf ball.

of the five volumes, “Star Valley,” is available on Kindle (electronic readers) from Amazon.

His books have a following and a fan club.

Walther was resting up in his cozy La Pine home, as he prepared for working what feels like a 24/7 schedule right through Christmas Day. Though it can be tiring, he says he loves every minute of it, and wishes the Christmas season could last longer.

“When I put on my Santa suit, I always think, ‘Wow, I get to do this again.’ I don’t consider it my alter ego, I consider it a blessing,” says Walther, grinning ear to ear. “I’ve had the opportunity to have one young lady have me hand a present to her husband, and when he opened it, it announced their pregnancy. I’ve had the opportunity to be part of men’s marriage proposals to their girlfriends. It’s wonderful to be a part of these happy occasions for people.”

Even early last month, Walther was already working at the Mountain Home Air Force Base, in Idaho, where Santa made a lot of military families very happy.

“I got to take a lot of pictures with these military families, and these photos will be sent to those men and women who are serving in Afghanistan, and overseas. We had to take photos early so they could send them in time for Christmas,” explains Walther, who says he was more

he’s able. Although he’s been approached to take other Santa jobs, he believes in home sweet home.

“I do feel a responsibility to the people here. Sometimes I feel like I’m a part of their family,” explains Walther. “Yes, I’ve had some other offers, but for me it’s not about the money.

I’ve got a home-grown following. Why would I ever change?

People want me, and expect me, to be here every year.”

Serendipity brought Walther to the Santa throne, as he explains it. Nearly 25 years ago, he saw a Santa acting grumpy.

“Can you believe that? He was grumpy, because organizers wanted him to give away a Christmas stocking prize, and he didn’t want to do it,” recalls Walther, who happily stepped in and gave the prize away for the grumpy Santa. “After that, they asked if I might be interested in being Santa.”

As an elementary education and visual arts major at Western Oregon University, Walther has always loved children and art.

Is it any wonder, then, that when he’s not in his busy Christmas season, Walther is really a toymaker, more specifically a master puppeteer?

“Being a puppeteer provides so much joy, and there’s so much interaction, compared to turning on a computer. With puppets you can make up stories, be different characters, and it uses fine motor skills and builds language skills,” says Walther, as he pulls out one of his more popular hand puppets from a giant box of puppets. “This puppet, believe it or not, took two years to develop, because it turns into Noah the octopus and over 100 other different characters, from a moose to an elephant, bunny rabbit, clam, spider.”

Walther nimbly turns the hand puppet into the dozen different characters he names out loud, before returning Noah the octopus back into a big bin. As Santa Claus, he says he never peddles his toys, because that would be wrong.

Upstairs in Walther’s workshop, it’s just as you would

Walther makes a puppet he created come to life and walk in place in his workshop. imagine an elf workshop to look like, with bolts of fabrics for his puppet-making and old rocking horses that he transforms into colorful papier-mache horses that will look like artful carousel ponies.

Going back down the stairs to the living room, the smell of cookies is wafting in the air, and Christmas carols play in the background. Walther points out the large window to his backyard, noting the large icicles hanging from the rafters, and says, “I ordered those just for your visit.”

Walther relaxes on his sofa, and perched over his head is his prized trophy of a bull elk. “No, don’t worry, it’s not Rudolph, Donner or Blitzen. This is an elk, and Santa only hunts for meat; there’s no waste.”

On an adjacent wall is a collection of antique Thai shadow puppets. Because he loves puppets of all types, puppets are all around the very tidy home, including a big wooden puppet of Pinocchio, who decorates the kitchen sink area.

As you’d guess, Santa Claus, aka William Walther, has a happy home. We visited with Walther to find out what he thought of his seasonal job, what he likes to cook and more.

What I love most about being Santa is … I love the interaction.

It’s very therapeutic. I get much more back than I give. I’d say interaction is my food for the soul.

The youngest person I ever held was a 23-hour-old baby. The parents came straight from the hospital to the mall, and they barely made it before closing, on Christmas Eve. The oldest person that came to visit me was a 91-year-old woman.

Strangest Santa photos you’ve ever done? People bring in cats and dogs all the time, but I’ve had snakes wrapped around me, a wild cat from Africa, ferrets and even a miniature donkey, who didn’t bray while it was on my lap!

Walther also displays a collection of wayang golek puppets in his home.

anything I wanted to do at home alone, I’d … I would sit down and write more and work on “Trinity Rose,” which is my new sciencefiction novel that I’ve written two-thirds of, but really need to finish it. I also have three more volumes of Santa books I want to write. In total, there will be eight volumes. I have five written already.

My favorite artwork is … My favorite artwork in my home is a three-piece painting of flowers, such as lilacs and iris. They are painted on a canvas, then a silk screen is put over the top, leaving a half-inch space. On the silk are painted more of the flowers and curtains. I purchased them in the Crimea in the city of Sevastopol, and they just barely fit in my suitcase.

Do you like to cook? I love to cook some things. I am mostly a meat and potato person. My favorite vegetable dish is to peel carrots and parsnips, slice them into silver dollars and boil them until they are almost done. Then I fry them in butter until they are caramelized.

They take each other’s flavor and make a great-looking and tasting dish.

Do you eat out often? I travel a lot, and so I eat out often, though not in places I should be eating. I love fish and fries.

When I’m Santa, I don’t usually get to have lunch. The lines can be pretty long, and I don’t want to miss anyone. Sometimes I’ll sneak some food under one of the candy canes, and sometimes I’ll hide some water behind my chair.

What’s your idea of the perfect get-together? The best gettogether is with any friends or relatives, where we’re watching football or watching Christmas movies, and having a great meal. I love all the old Christmas movies, “Miracle on 34th Street,” “It’s A Wonderful Life,” and all the John Wayne movies.

If you could have a second home anywhere in the world, where would it be? If I had to pick a second home, I’d have to pick two. One would be in Troy, Oregon. It’s very remote, and the most beautiful place anyone could live. The other place I’d love to have a second home is in Yalta, Ukraine. The boardwalk along the Black Sea, the fruit stands, the art, the people and the places of interest (are) unequal.

Favorite quote or philosophy?

There are many words and sayings that people live by. My own words are simple words that everyone has heard but seldom understand. They are “Thanks, giving, love.” Perfect words for the holiday season. Give thanks for all you have, do it often. Give what you can and more, if possible, throughout every day. Love the best you can with the purest heart you can, with no minutes in between.

COVER STORY

Branches Continued from F1 A dangerous mistake do-ityourselfers make, according to Jim Weaver, arborist and owner of Alta Tree Service in Bend, is to use a ladder in the first place.

“A ladder propped on a round tree trunk will roll off easily,” Weaver said. “If he has to use a ladder at all, an arborist would use a three-legged one, like those used for pruning fruit trees. A pro won’t put a 30-foot ladder up against a truck and climb up it to saw off a limb.”

There are several aspects a property owner should consider before attempting to prune a damaged tree, Weaver said.

“Look at the broken limb, and figure out what that branch will do, or where it will go, if it is cut loose,” Weaver advises. “There might be foliage, or smaller branches and twigs on it, that could influence the direction that branch might fall.”

Another concern is how the branch will pivot when the support is sawed away.

“If you’re underneath a branch, sawing away on a ladder, that could be very dangerous,” Weaver said. “When the branch breaks loose, it will fall right on you, and possibly knock you off the ladder.”

In some cases, he added, an improper cut could actually make the damage worse.

On some trees, if the damaged branch is not sawed correctly, the bark will be ripped when the branch falls. This can cause an ugly scar, Weaver said, and open

Pruning cuts

For small branches, simple pruners can be employed at the base of the branch.

Larger branches will require a small saw and three-step process: 1 The first cut is a shallow notch made on the underside of the branch, outside the branch collar. This cut will prevent a falling branch from tearing the stem tissue as it pulls away from the tree.

An Alta Tree Service worker limbs a ponderosa pine earlier this month next to a house along the Deschutes River south of Sunriver. “Most people can safely do the smaller pruning and trimming jobs,” says Jim Weaver, the owner of Alta Tree Service. But know your limitations and when to call in a professional, Weaver adds. up the tree to insect and weather damage. A three-cut technique for trimming branches can minimize damage (see graphic, above right).

A large branch that has fallen on a roof or structure, he added, will probably be beyond what a homeowner can handle.

“If a large, attached branch

is resting on a roof, you could worsen the damage if you cut it free,” Weaver said. “The added weight, that was being supported by the tree, could cause the branch to fall further into the structure.”

In such a case, Weaver said, an arborist would secure that limb with ropes or a mechanical lift

to keep it from exacerbating the damage.

The bottom line, Weaver said, is knowing your limitations. This philosophy frequently applies to other professional tree services, Weaver said, and it is common for some higher jobs to be referred to specialists. Arborists and other professionals have ac-

quired skills and experience with high limbs, he said, and have the equipment, ropes and mechanical lifts to handle the potentially dangerous limbs.

“You don’t need elaborate equipment, and most people can safely do the smaller pruning and trimming jobs,” Weaver continued. “But if you look at a dam-

aged limb or branch, and feel uneasy about attempting to remove it, call a tree company for a consultation. There’s always a point where the smartest thing is to call a professional.”

Break out these books for a winter of gardening ideas

By Joel M. Lerner Special to The Washington Post

How about some green books for wintertime reading? Here are some texts addressing the latest landscape design trends and information on plants’ needs: “Honeybee Democracy,” by Thomas D. Seeley ($30, Princeton University Press, 2010), will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about one of the world’s most beneficial insects. The honeybee is critically important to pollinating crops that we depend on to produce fruits and vegetables. Much has been written recently about the puzzling decline of honeybee colonies and the implications of what this can mean for life on Earth.

This resource by Seeley explains their life cycle and how they dance and interact in an organized and caring fashion.

Seeley, a biologist and beekeeper, presents his excellent understanding of what makes the bees’ society work for the survival of the species. The epilogue correlates the bees’ society directly to the coexistence and survival of humanity. This 280-page clothbound hardcover includes 30 color images, 30 halftones, 26 line drawings and one table.

“Best Garden Design: Practical Inspiration from the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show,” by Chris Young ($35, Firefly Books, 2010), is a must-study if you are searching for landscape design ideas. It is a library of the obscure.

There are hundreds of innovative designs including water walls, sculptures, modern sculptural mixing of media, and a section on sustainable design.

There are classically executed designs as well, naturally planted with many modern touches.

Photographs of container plantings are included.

This 224-page hardcover idea book has 400 color photographs and artwork from the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show, including 20 studies with garden plans. It might be the first book I’d flip through for design ideas.

“The World of Trees,” by Hugh Johnson ($35, University of California Press, 2010), is the ultimate tree-hugger book.

This beautifully appointed tome covers tree classifications,

“Mini Farming: Self-Sufficiency on 1⁄4 Acre,” by Brett L. Markham and “Best Garden Design,” by Chris Young are two of several books that address the latest landscape design trends and information on plants’ needs. weather and hardiness zones of trees in North America and Europe.

It’s the equivalent of a course in arboriculture for the amateur gardener and landscape professional, including the history and culture of trees, suggesting the climates where you might find them growing.

The final 375 pages of this 400-page clothbound hardcover book cover trees around the world in encyclopedic fashion, complementing the text with high-quality photographs of specimens. There are 500 photographs and 1,000 line illustrations.

“Home Ground: Language for an American Landscape,” edited by Barry Lopez and Debra Gwartney ($20, Trinity University Press, 2006) presents the work of 45 writers who were commissioned to define landscape terms that can be used to describe landforms and paths that water can take in the landscape.

The book is organized in dictionary form with root words defined from their original languages for numerous land and liquid formations around the world.

It is a fascinating work in landscape etymology with the writers having defined some fairly abstract concepts in a completely comprehensible fashion.

“Paradise Under Glass: An Amateur Creates a Conservatory Garden,” by Ruth Kassinger ($25, William Morrow, 2010), is

a book to inspire you to grow green plants even if you have a brown thumb.

The author could not grow plants, had no interest in gardening, and was thoroughly disgusted by worms and other creepy crawly creatures.

Join Kassinger on her journey from neophyte to indoor, successful, under-glass gardener.

In this 368-page hardcover, you will learn more than in many texts written about tropical plants.

with color photographs is a tool that could save you thousands of dollars in a year’s worth of growth.

“Mini Farming: Self-Sufficiency on 1⁄4 Acre,” by Brett L. Markham ($17, Skyhorse Publishing, 2010), presents the concept of home food production — a very popular topic in these economic times. Organic, pesticide-free and home- or locally grown products are riding the crest of a wave of popularity.

Intensive agriculture can help homeowners do it themselves on their own property.

The most demanding part of the work is installing the raised beds.

Closely planted edibles will shade the weeds and protect beneficial soil organisms.

Growing on trellises offers three-dimensional use of space, providing more cubic footage for plants.

Markham discusses soil preparation, with deep digging as the secret to success. He covers irrigation, pest control, seed saving and starting, as well as many more aspects involved in self-sufficient gardening for food and money.

Too-tart plums in a sweet treat

By Julie Rothman The Baltimore Sun

Darlene Lanford, of New Market, Tenn., was looking for a recipe for what she called Plum Nut Bread Pudding. She said that when she was a child, her mother used to take her to a store in her hometown called “Cresses”; this dish was a favorite of hers and her mother’s that was served at the restaurant in the basement of the store. This was not a traditional English plum pudding but rather a bread pudding that was made with plums.

After some searching, I located a recipe for a plum bread pudding on a food blog written by Erica Penzer Kerekes from Los Angeles (inericaskitchen.com). Kerekes said that she developed this recipe to make use of the Santa Rosa plums she had growing in her backyard, which are too sour to eat straight, but are great for bak-

ing. She uses brioche bread in her recipe, but she says any rich white bread would work equally well.

While this is a new recipe, hopefully it’s close to what Lanford remembers from her childhood.

RECIPE FINDER

RECIPE REQUESTS: Claudia Santini, of Santa Rosa, Calif., is looking for a caramel brownie recipe that was made with a German chocolate cake mix as the base.

If you are looking for a recipe or can answer a request, write to Julie Rothman, Recipe Finder, The Baltimore Sun, 501 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21278. If you send more than one recipe, please put each on a separate piece of paper with your name, address and daytime phone number. Please list the ingredients in order of use and note the number of servings each recipe makes.

PLUM BREAD PUDDING Makes 8-10 servings.

1 lb (10 to 12) tart plums, diced 1 C granulated sugar, divided use 1 loaf brioche, preferably a little stale, cut into cubes 10 eggs 1 qt whole milk 2 C half and half

Pinch of salt ¼ C Grand Marnier, triple sec or other orange-flavored liqueur ½ tsp Chinese five-spice powder (available in gourmet markets or spice shops) 3 TBS raw sugar

Combine diced plums with ½ cup granulated sugar in a bowl. Let the plum mixture sit at room temperature for 30 minutes; the sugar will draw the juices out of the fruit and create syrup.

Put the brioche cubes on a baking sheet. Bake the brioche briefly, just to dry out a little. Let cool.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the rest of the granulated sugar, milk, half and half, salt, liqueur and five-spice powder.

Add brioche cubes and mix well, so all the bread is coated with the egg mixture. Pour in the plum mixture with all the syrup that has accumulated and mix again. Let the mixture sit at least half an hour, to let the bread absorb the egg mixture and the plum juices.

Spray a 9x12 baking dish with cooking spray. Turn the bread mixture into the prepared dish and sprinkle with the course raw sugar.

Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for about 1 hour, or until the center of the pudding wiggles slightly when you shake the pan, and the top of the pudding is golden brown. Let cool. Serve at room temperature, with whipped cream if you like.

For a broccolini and feta galette, you don’t even need a pie pan.

BROCCOLINI AND FETA GALETTE Makes 8 servings.

2 C all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) 1 ⁄4 C extra-virgin olive oil Coarse salt and ground pepper 2 bunches broccolini (1 lb

total) ⁄4 C grated Parmesan 2 ⁄3 C crumbled feta (3 oz) 1 ⁄4 tsp red-pepper flakes 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1

Add 1⁄2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1⁄2 -inch pieces; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 2 TBS ice water; pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 TBS more water, 1 TBS at a time). Form dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle, wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour (or up to 3 days).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to an 11-by15-inch rectangle. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Fold edges of dough so sides are about 1 inch high. Prick dough all over with a fork and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Press a sheet of parchment paper or foil on dough, draping over rim of pan. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until crust is firm and edges are lightly browned, about 35 minutes. Remove parchment and weights; bake until bottom is dry and light golden, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until almost crisp, about 10 minutes, flipping once. Drain bacon on paper towels. Add onion to skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Spread mixture evenly in crust. Top with squash, overlapping slices and adding a piece of bacon every few rows.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and cream; season with salt and pepper. Pour enough egg mixture over filling to just reach top of crust. Top with sage. Bake until set in center and puffed at edges, about 45 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes.

LEGAL NOTICE Three Trails OHV Project USDA - Forest Service Crescent Ranger District Deschutes National Forest Klamath County, Oregon This legal notice announces the decision for the Three Trails OHV Project Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The project area is located within: Townships 23, 24, 25, 26 South and Ranges 6, 7, 8, 9 East, Willamette Meridian. John Allen, Forest Supervisor for the Deschutes National Forest, has decided to implement Alternative E. It provides the best balance and offers the scenery, challenge, and "saddle time" riders seek, while caring for the resources and providing for other non-motorized pursuits. The decision includes adoption of some appropriately located user-created trails and new construction for a total of 142 miles of trail plus 80 miles of connecting high clearance roads for a total 222 route miles.

This includes 21 miles of trails engineered for Jeeps and other 4-wheel drive vehicles. There are four strategically-placed staging areas in Junction, Rivers, and Walker trail segments. It incorporates most of the design features that the riders requested (longer loops, interconnected trail systems, access to public goods and services). It also provides some tighter loops in some areas and avoids an extensive trail system where big game migration corridors are more likely to occur. Motorized and non-motorized uses are separated as much as possible on the Metolius-Windigo Trail. It incorporates five scenic viewpoints. There is foot trail access to water along the Little Deschutes River; however no new bridges will be constructed. A season of use will generally be from May 1 to October 31, dependent upon site-specific conditions.
